Chapter 367: Poplar Forest
Zhuo Yijia's tone was very casual: "Have you forgotten what I said when I took you on the first day? I don't say it casually that I have the backer of Huairong Palace." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The crowd who followed listened and their minds moved. They all looked at Zhuo Yijia. After they listened to it for a while, who would take it to heart? Later, after following Zhuo Yijia, no one remembered that stubble anymore. After all, the fact that the army is able to convince people, Zhuo Yijia's strength is there, and they have long regarded her as their commander. But there is nothing because of the Huairong Palace.
"So, can we enter the palace and drink a lot of wine and eat meat with those six-grade generals?" The person who followed next to him cautiously looked at Zhuo Yijia's back and asked, his tone was excited.
"Of course. Zhuo Yijia still said without looking back, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
She has not returned to the palace since she joined the army. On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, why do you still have to go back to accompany the fifth uncle.
Someone next to him continued, and his tone was full of joy: "Great, drinking soju, oops, I thought about it first." As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves crossed.
There was a burst of laughter next to him, "It's good to follow Captain Streamer, it's ......"
"Shhhhhh Standing still, he put his index finger to his lips and motioned for silence.
The woods were so quiet that there was no sound. But I didn't hear the sound of birds flying in the distance.
Seeing Zhuo Yijia's appearance, everyone stared with bated breath. Zhuo Yijia pounced directly on the ground, Hong Shan immediately followed, Li Si, Changyu and the five scouts also pounced on the ground, their ears on the ground, and their eyes closed.
Zhuo Yijia was the first to get up, supporting the ground with both hands, looking at the depths of the forest, his voice was very low, and his face was solemn: "Someone!"
Immediately after that, Changyu's face changed greatly, he got up, turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia, and his voice was also lowered: "It's a troop, more than a thousand people!" said as he said that the pupils in his eyes shrank.
After that, the other five scouts and Hong Shan also got up, and one of the scouts looked at Zhuo Yijia: "There are footsteps, faint, extremely slow, it should be a slow ambush and sneak." ”
"There is also the sound of iron hooves, it should be cavalry. Hongshan then added.
"Iron Hoof ......" Zhuo Yijia's eyes hidden behind the mask narrowed, and the danger was revealed: "It's all well-equipped." Saying that, Zhuo Yijia suddenly turned around and looked at the five scouts:
"You two, go to the sentry box immediately and report, and let them quickly send someone to inform General Zhuo that there is an army attacking from Western Qi! Go immediately!" Zhuo Yijia's face was cold, solemn and cold, and even the words he said were like a layer of frozen ice, and the majesty was impossible to ignore.
The two scouts received the order, and immediately bowed down and ran quickly to the other side of the bamboo forest.
Zhuo Yijia had a cold face, turned his head to look at the rest of the people, and then looked at the remaining three scouts: "You two, go to the Xiqi garrison to investigate." After a pause, he explained: "Remember, hide your identity." If you find it, save your life first. ”
The two men got the order, turned and flew away.
After quickly giving the order, Zhuo Yijia turned his head and swept it: "Everyone, follow me!" With that, he turned around and dived forward.
The archer behind him unconsciously pulled the arrow behind his back up, and the group tiptoed forward, cautious. It's all solemn.
Every thirty meters, he stopped and leaned over to listen to the footsteps.
The footsteps are getting closer, getting closer.
The group tiptoed forward became more and more silent. The heart in the chest is beating faster and faster.
With each step, death is one point in danger. If they are discovered, they will surely die under an army of thousands.
Zhuo Yijia walked in the front, and her perennially cold hands were covered with a layer of sticky sweat. Sweat from his forehead ran down his cheeks and dripped out of the mask.
It was getting darker and darker, and the woods were getting darker and darker. There are thousands of people in the forest, but there is not a trace of spark.
It's going to be a sneak attack. And it was a massive sneak attack.
This sneak attack is a small matter, if the sneak attack is just a prelude, and there is a large army behind, then this battle must be a vicious battle between Nanshang and Xiqi. A large-scale battle!
It's not just a small fight against the Huns on weekdays.
It's getting closer......
Finally, Zhuo Yijia saw a figure lurking in the distance in the forest. The body was stunned, and it was lowered.
There are many shrubs in the northland, and this poplar forest is naturally covered with half-man-high bushes. This is the reason why the thousand-strong army marched across the border of the Southern Merchants and no one found out.
These shrubs gave cover to the Western Qi army, and at the same time gave cover to Zhuo Yijia and his party.
She bowed down in the bushes, stretched out her hand and gently beckoned, and the group of people behind her, Changyu Hongshan and Li Si, lined up and squatted in the bushes. The soldiers behind him followed and squatted behind Zhuo Yijia, waiting for orders.
Zhuo Yijia squatted quietly, squinting her eyes and looking at it seriously because of the night. Looking at the dense crowd moving silently in front of you.
Her heart was beating faster and faster, and the sweat in her palms was getting bigger and bigger. She was a little nervous and a little scared. But she couldn't show it in the slightest. Can't let her subordinates see it.
She took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, and looked again.
The branches of the bushes were blown by a gust of wind and swept on the faces of the people, and no one dared to move.
Looking at the team in front, it took a while before there was the sound of iron hooves behind.
3,000 infantry, 500 iron cavalry. There were a thousand archers in the infantry.
Zhuo Yijia's face slowly darkened.
This formation is not an attack. It's strategic harassment with scheming. Therefore, there must be a large army behind!
It's a big fight!
Zhuo Yijia suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Changyu, and waved it to the side.
Changyu nodded, and tiptoed to the side with five archers.
Pointing at Hong Shan and Li Si, he got up and tiptoed back.
Hong Shan and Li Si immediately followed Zhuo Yijia's steps and ran to the other way of the army behind them.
The group slowly left at first, and after getting out of the army's visual range, they began to gallop. Running for his life.
Towards the northern gate of the Southern Merchants, rush to the gate.
There were many horses tied to the sentry box. Passing by the sentry box, Zhuo Yijia did not straighten up, and stretched out his hand to wave. Turning over the horse's hand moved, he directly cut off the horse rope and galloped away, and the people who had been waiting under the sentry box for a long time, led by Zhihua, followed the horse and galloped.
There was no one next to the sentry box, but in the night, a figure could be seen on the pavilion. Still quietly stationed on the lookout.
The group galloped vigorously, and when they reached the city gate, the crack in the door opened, and the group pulled the reins of the horses and flashed in.
"Close the city gate!" Zhuo Yijia entered the city gate, turned his head and glanced coldly at the soldiers guarding the gate.
Reflecting the firelight, the woman on the horse turned her head to look at the guard commander, her masked face was charming and terrifying, and her cold majesty was not to be ignored.
