The tug-of-war between the two sides had been going on for three hours, during which time the Praetorian army did not suffer as many casualties as the enemy, but the soldiers began to be in a state of exhaustion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNight is gradually falling, the defense line of the forbidden army is no longer as impregnable as during the day, they retreat the defense line while reorganizing the arrow array, but after all, it will not be able to resist for long.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Qingbei Army couldn't help but be demoralized, and they all swarmed from all directions waving swords and shouting slogans. Yin Zheng and King Rui were about to be unable to resist, the sky was suddenly illuminated by countless fireballs, and hundreds of fireballs crossed the sky like meteors, the scene was spectacular and beautiful. Before the Qingbei army could react, this seemingly incomprehensibly beautiful spectacle became a fatal disaster for them. The fireball was extremely fast in the air, and it slammed into the soldiers of the Qingbei Army with a raging flame. Seeing this scene, the enemy couldn't help but flee and dodge, and some of them were even hit by fireballs and their bodies were set on fire, filling the place with the shouting and screaming sounds of soldiers.

King Rui and Yin Zheng looked behind them in surprise, and it turned out that someone on the high platform in the distance was directing the eunuchs to fire these fireballs to attack the enemy. Seeing that the enemy was confused by the fireball, the forbidden army immediately rushed to pursue the victory, and broke the scattered enemy troops one by one.

Because it was spring, the grass was lush, and the fireball ignited the grass, forming a natural line of fire that shielded the two armies. As soon as the Qingbei Army saw the fire, the commander immediately ordered to withdraw from the line of fire and take a break. This is tantamount to giving the forbidden army time to rest and adjust, Yin Zheng is naturally happy, and chooses not to take the initiative to attack, retreats to the outside of the line of fire, and waits for the long night to pass.

In the middle of the night, the west wind is intoxicated, the wilderness is empty and quiet, the night is vast and gloomy, and there is not a bright star in the huge sky, as if telling the sadness of everyone's heart.

Mu Qing looked at the raging fire and billowing smoke in the distance through the window of the Hunting Palace, except for his face being a little pale, his expression was still as unwavering as usual.

After a while, Zhu Yu ran back panting, and called out happily: "The master's plan has succeeded, the fire has forced the enemy to push, and the men and horses of both sides are now in a state of rest. ”

"I'm afraid it's still far from success!" Mu Qing's face didn't have too much joy, and he asked indifferently, "Where are the people from Linzhai Camp?" ”

Zhu Yu replied, "They've already come from the Windless Cliff, and they still have a day or two to go at the earliest." ”

Although the name of the windless cliff is 'no wind', in fact, some winds of unknown origin are hung on the edge of the cliff every year, which is extremely dangerous, and few people dare to take that shortcut. Therefore, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and in order to seize the time, Dong Shuo of Linzhai Camp decided to take a risk and take a shortcut from the windless cliff to the hunting palace.

However, Mu Qing is still very confident in Dong Shuo's decision, the 'strange wind' of the Windless Cliff in the spring is much less than in other seasons, and the key to this battle is 'time', if it is a step late, the result is no different from no reinforcements. So the key now is how long the forbidden army can last.

Mu Qing instructed Zhu Yu: "After dawn, the fire should be almost reduced, and the Qingbei Army will definitely return to the attack at that time." Go and tell Uncle Yin that the trap is ready, and when it gets daybreak, you will lead everyone into the dense forest where we have set the trap long ago. ”

"The slave understands, so I'll go and tell Commander Yin." Zhu Yu lowered her head and said, and looked at Mu Qing worriedly, "Niangniang, you have to be extra careful when you stay here!" ”

Mu Qing nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Before the morning sun could bring the first rays of light to the heavy earth, a new round of vicious warfare began again. The Qingbei Army mobilized 20,000 soldiers again, and threw them into the battlefield in waves, and the offensive was surging, forcing the forbidden army to retreat again and again. Although the forbidden army rested all night, after a whole day of fierce fighting, their physical strength was not as good as yesterday, and they began to fight more and more hard under the continuous fierce attacks of the enemy. In the end, Yin Zheng could only choose to command the forbidden soldiers to retreat into the dense forest, and increase the effect of concealment through the woods.

The Qingbei Army had just tasted a little sweetness, how could it be willing to let go of the forbidden army at this time, so Xiao Su gave an order, rushed to catch up, shouted the slogan of 'kill everything', and followed the steps of the forbidden army to the dense forest.

It's a pity that as soon as the Qingbei Army entered the dense forest, they found that the form was wrong, and the originally mighty forbidden soldiers seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and there was only a lush patch of trees in front of them, which couldn't help but dazzle. Xiao Su instantly saw several loud noises ringing in his ears, and looked up to see that a stone bag piled up of gravel was falling quickly above his head. Xiao Su reacted extremely quickly, and he turned around and rolled to avoid the fate of being stone-packed. However, the other soldiers of the Qingbei Army may not have such good luck, and in an instant, the Qingbei Army was hit by the falling stone bags one after another, and there was a wailing and exclamation. Only then did Xiao Su realize that he had been ambushed, and the forbidden army was deliberately showing weakness, and then pretended to be retreating and fleeing, and led them into this dense forest. Xiao Su was annoyed in his heart: It seems that this guy Yin Zheng has already set a trap here, this stone bag is extremely powerful, and it is extremely hidden, so they have no way to prevent it.

In desperation, in order not to lose his troops, Xiao Su had to choose to withdraw from the dense forest again. After the Qingbei Army withdrew, it suddenly returned to the original point, and after two full days of fighting, no one bargained.

In the early morning of the third day, after being heavily damaged, the Qingbei Army readjusted its combat methods, no longer choosing a large number of troops to enter the dense forest, but using small detachments to distract the attention of the forbidden army, so that even if the forbidden army used the attack method of stone bags, it would not cause excessive losses to the Qingbei army. So in this way, groups of teams from the Qingbei Army continued to enter it, and the stone bags prepared by Yin Zheng in advance were almost used. The forbidden army had no choice but to go to the edge of the dense forest, at this time the bow and arrow had been exhausted, and the forbidden army could only fight the enemy sword on the plain in front of the hunting palace, fighting to the death, and this was only one step away from the hunting palace.

The princes and nobles in the hunting palace saw that the enemy had reached the door of their homes, and they were all as chaotic as ants on a hot pot. Those who know some martial arts will hold a sword to make a defensive posture, ready to meet the enemy at any time; Those who don't know martial arts have searched all the things in the hunting palace that can be used as a defense against resistance, such as daggers, knives, and even kitchen knives in the kitchen, and then found a hidden place to hide.

Just when everyone was waiting solemnly, someone suddenly wailed, and then saw many ministers and eunuchs falling to the ground one by one, looking in pain. (To be continued.) )
