Marching to Shudi, Zhao Gao led his subordinate Luo Net Organization and didn't know where to go, leaving only the Yin and Yang family to march together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info thought that Luo Wan was a full-time assassination and espionage intelligence, obviously not doing anything good.

After so many days, Dongfang Wei also figured out the identity of the masked purple-clothed girl, she is the young master of the Yin and Yang family, the same status as the big secretary, and she is also the most genius in the Yin and Yang family except for the star soul, but she doesn't seem to like to talk, she has never spoken for so many days, and the light veil on her face has never been untied, which makes Dongfang Wei very curious about the mysterious face under this veil.

Shushan has many mountain roads, the road is rugged and winding, and it is difficult for war horses to travel, so Dongfang has to give up the cavalry troops, and it is difficult to transport the baggage to Shushan. Dongfang had to find an open place to camp at the foot of Shu Mountain.

Before he set up the barracks, Zhao Gao appeared, and some time ago, Luo Wang infiltrated Shushan in advance. The efficiency of the net is indeed much higher, and the scouts sent by Dongfang Wei have not yet had any useful news.

However, most of the members of Luo Wang are recruited from the rivers and lakes, and there are countless followers of the three sects and nine ranks, coupled with professional training and skills that are much better than ordinary soldiers, they are much more powerful in infiltration and assassination investigation.

"General, there are about 20,000 young people in Shushan, among which the elite is called Yu Yuan Guard, and every Yu Yuan Guard is a master, and their duty is to guard a sacred tree." Speaking of the Divine Tree, Zhao Gao glanced at the Yin and Yang family intentionally or unintentionally.

Dongfang Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "How is the training of 20,000 young people?" How many of Yu Yuan's guards can be trained in military affairs? ”

Zhao Gao showed an evil smile on his face, and Dongfang Wei looked hairy in his heart.

"Twenty thousand young people are just armed mountain people, as for Yu Yuan's guards, although they are all good hands, they are not very many, only a few hundred, and they have also been trained in military formations, but I don't think the general should be afraid of these few hundred people."

"The CRRC Mansion reassures your lords that there are only hundreds of people, and a few rounds of crossbow arrows will be solved." Dongfang Wei looked very confident. Dealing with 20,000 untrained mountain people can be defeated with a charge of 3,000 cavalry, even if the cavalry can't go up to Shushan, there are still 7,000 foot soldiers under their command, and they only need a few rounds of crossbow arrows to shoot in the front.

The only problem is that the other side is afraid that the other side will not fight head-on, and will make a detour and stumble in the mountains and forests.

"That sacred tree can't be hurt." Star Soul suddenly interjected.

"Oh? It's just a tree, why can't it hurt? Dongfang Wei raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy, what are you doing as a layman.

"The general doesn't know that this sacred tree has a strange power, and it is said that it is the place where the three-legged golden crow lives." The Great Priest said unhurriedly.

"The tree of the three-legged golden crow? Could it be the Fuso Sacred Tree? Dongfang Wei didn't believe that there was any three-legged golden crow, and rolled his eyes widely.

"The general is right, isn't it the Fusang Divine Tree, what Your Majesty wants is this Fusang Divine Tree." The Great Priest chuckled.

Dongfang is noncommittal, Fuso Shenmu? That's a mythical item, where the sun sets, who to bluff, Bacheng is a big tree that is regarded as a totem by the locals of Shushan.

The next day, Dongfang Wei went up the mountain lightly with his whole army, leaving 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 crossbowmen to guard the camp and protect the baggage. The remaining 5,000 foot soldiers followed into the mountain. These 5,000 foot soldiers had 3,000 crossbowmen and 2,000 sword and shield men.

The sword and shield hand is a unique type of army under the command of Dongfang Wei, and the people of this era prefer to use swords, and the army is an iron sword in addition to being equipped with bows, crossbows, halberds, and spears. Long weapons are not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests, and Dongfang has only given them up.

Two thousand sword and shield men guarded the crossbowmen in the mountains and forests, and from time to time a soldier screamed when he was hit by a trap lasso, and occasionally a hidden arrow sneaked attack. Dongfang Wei had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.

In just one day, Dongfang Wei lost hundreds of soldiers. These mountain people are cunning and cunning, and they don't look at you at all, but just hide in the shadows and sneak attack, and set traps. It's really hard to make progress now.

At night, Dongfang Wei sat in the military tent angrily, roaring loudly, venting the anger in his heart. Just now, he was sarcastically ridiculed by the Star Soul.

"I lost hundreds of people without even seeing the enemy's face, tsk, this is the general of Great Qin."

Dongfang Wei couldn't argue yet, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, looking at the swaying fire outside the tent, suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.

"Where are the people who are coming, where are they all dead!"

"General, what do you command?" The curtain opened, and a soldier entered.

"Pass my order, prepare the fire, and set fire to the mountain!" Dongfang Wei said viciously.

"No."

Soon the barracks remembered the shouts of the heralds:

"The general has an order, prepare a fire and set fire to the mountain."

"The general has an order......

......

The only foot in the East is on the table, sitting reclining, his eyes blurred. I can't imagine that I, a person who is terrified of even killing a chicken in modern society, can now set fire to the mountain without hesitation, hey.

"General Dongfang, how can you set fire to the mountain, in case you burn down the sacred tree, who can bear the responsibility." In the distance, the sound of the star's soul being angry could be heard.

Dongfang Wei walked out of the military tent and looked at the soldiers who were constantly busy preparing torches, and he didn't hold the star soul in his mouth.

"Be smart, Lao Tzu is going to burn this broken mountain forest tonight, and see if those turtle grandsons can't get out."

"General! I told you to stop commanding! Star Soul grimaced.

Dongfang Wei looked down at the Star Soul, ignoring it, bypassing him and constantly urging the soldiers to hurry up.

The star soul is about to explode, thinking that he is the protector of the empire, the left protector of the Yin and Yang family, who doesn't give him face, you are a little lieutenant, you dare to ignore me.

Soon, the strange movement in the barracks caused people to peep in the shadows, these people were agile, and they disappeared into the mountains and forests in a few jumps, but they did not notice that there were several black shadows hanging behind him. The killers of the nets are much more professional than these amateur spies in Shushan.

Soon, the mountains and forests were burning, but the evergreen vegetation was maintained here all year round, and the water was not small, and there was no fire for a while, but the smoke was billowing out, and it seemed that there was a lot of movement.

On the top of Shu Mountain, under a towering ancient tree, a young man with a face full of strange ornaments said to several old men in a panic: "Elder, it's not good, the Qin army is setting fire to the mountain, what can I do?" ”

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to go down and fight with them." Another young man with the same ornament on his face shouted.

"Yes, yes! What are you afraid of, it's a big deal. Countless well-dressed young men and men chimed in.

"All quiet, you are Yu Yuan's guards, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the Fusang Divine Tree, how can you be so impulsive. Is it so easy to solve the Qin army's sweep across the world, even if you win, how many of you can survive? Even if this Qin army is gone, there are still thousands of Qin troops, can you fight it? An old man with a white beard and white hair and a long staff shouted angrily.

"But, Great Elder, it's not appropriate to let them burn the mountain like this."
