The 50,000 army marched straight to the Tianshan Mountains. The terrain of the outer ring of the Tianshan Mountains is steep, it is difficult for people to climb, not to mention the horses, the soldiers have dismounted, leading the horses to crawl forward, the cold wind is mixed with the sand blowing from the northwest, and the face of the man is faintly painful.

It was a cold winter, but due to a long time of rock climbing, Mu Xi's body became hot, and he began to feel a little overwhelmed and panting.

Yun Muxi's skin is already delicate, where can he withstand this toss, even Xia Feifei in the past can only barely hold on.

"General, are you tired?"

, The little soldier who was stopped by her yesterday came over and said with concern.

"Hee-hee, it's a little bit"

, Mu Xi smiled, gave a thumbs up and praised: "You guys are so good, you have climbed for so long, and you don't take a breath of air."

。

"The general grew up in Jiangdu since he was a child, and he is used to living an aristocratic life, how can it be like our accumulated training, which is not so easy to get tired"

。

Mu Xi complained in her heart, hey, okay, it's not a matter of living an aristocratic life, how can she be compared to these strong men as a woman.

She wiped the fine sweat oozing from her forehead, looked up, the endless mountain top made her eyes dazzled, sighed and asked, "How long is it, do you know?" ”

。

"It's coming, General"

The soldier pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "If you cross this mountain to the inside of the mountain, it will not be so steep, and if the general is tired, give me what is on his back."

。

"Well, no, no, no, it's not going to be soon."

, Mu Xi glanced at his small body, it is not easy to join the army at a young age.

The sky gradually darkened, the mist filled the entire Tianshan Mountains, the field of vision was reduced by half, and the wind was much lighter, thinking that it should be almost to the valley.

After a long journey of half a day, the soldiers also collapsed a little, and the pace of progress was half slower than before.

Mu Xi took a breath of cold air and shouted: "Brothers, work hard, the front will come to an end, and it will be a flat road soon."

。

The soldiers responded in a daze, and their listless appearance lost their initial momentum.

Looking at the appearance of his soldiers, Mu Xi couldn't help frowning, and scolded one by one like a critic, "Are all of them planning to die?" Why did General Zhang put you in the Tianshan Special Training, it is to exercise your endurance and endurance, now just climbing a mountain is like this, how to defeat the enemy and rescue the Smoke King! ”

。

The indignant Yun Muxi really stimulated them, and the soldiers cheered up again.

In fact, their mood and body, she can understand, as far as she herself is holding on to the last trace of strength, the battlefield on this mountain is too consuming body, high-intensity exercise, and if it goes on like this, even if it reaches the bottom, there is no body and energy to fight the enemy, Mu Xi thought about setting up a tent in front of him to rest for a night, recuperate his body, and then set off.

She was thinking about it when suddenly.

The two or three soldiers at the front excitedly waved their hands to the back and shouted: "We have arrived, we have finally entered the valley, come quickly!" ”

。

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers behind seemed to have found a way out, and with hope, they accelerated their pace and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Before the words fell, Mu Xi vaguely saw the three or four people who shouted fall to the ground and roll down the mountain, and then the dense swords like rain shot towards this side.

The barbarians are good at riding and shooting, even in the current haze weather, they are all shots.

Yun Muxi's army, the front-line soldiers fell one after another with arrows.

"Get down! Get down! ”

, Mu Xi exerted all his strength and roared wildly.

When the soldiers in the back heard the order, they all lay down, long arrows flew over the soldiers' heads, and everyone held their breath and was highly concentrated.

"Gunpowder ready"

。

The soldiers took the wood from their backs, which contained a mixture of sulphur and saltpeter.

"Slingshot Preparation"

。

At this time, the fire fold in the soldier's hand had been marked, and the gunpowder shelf was on the slingshot, waiting for Yun Muxi's order.

Mu Xi's ears were pressed to the ground, his expression was solemn, and only a minute had passed, but it seemed as long as a century had passed.

Finally, Mu Xi heard the sound of approaching footsteps, a lot of footsteps to be exact, yes, this is the time!

"Shoot!"

, Mu Xi gave an order.

The slingshot man, who stretched the bow, lit the gunpowder primer.

The wood flew out with a roar of firelight, and the valley was like a meteor shower, and when the fire burned out, Mu Xi and the others heard a loud bang in the valley, and one after another explosions echoed throughout the valley.

Half an hour passed, the explosions ceased, and the valley was quiet again, without a sound for a long time.

"Let's see"

Mu Xi said to the soldier beside him.

The soldier crawled forward, and after a while he stood up ecstatically and shouted: "General, we have won, the valley has suffered heavy casualties, and not a single one survives"

。

And it worked!

Mu Xi snapped his fingers triumphantly and walked over to the soldier, intending to see for himself.

At this time, the soldier on the hill did not know the hidden danger, and a seriously wounded barbarian who could not be seen from the perspective suddenly got up, drew his bow and crossbow, and shot a sharp sword at the soldier on the hill, pointing directly at his heart.

"Be careful!"

, Mu Xi roared.

The soldiers, who had no time to react, were so frightened that they could not move.

Mu Xi couldn't take care of it so much, a hand quickly pushed the soldier out of the mountain, the soldier rolled down the mountain, the hillside was not very blocked, the soldier only suffered a few skin wounds.

And Mu Xi pushed away the soldier's shoulder arrow, and the sharp arrow pierced her shoulder, and the blood instantly soaked through Mu Xi's armor, and the soldier behind the soldier quickly stabbed the attacking barbarian to death.

"General"

。

"General, how's it going?"

。

The soldiers rushed up, and the soldiers who had just rolled down the hill rolled and climbed towards the woods.

Mu Xi held his shoulder, smiled and shook his head, it was no big deal, this time it was really symmetrical, one time it was a leg injury and one time it was an arm injury, after experiencing a leg injury, this arrow wound was not so painful, get used to it.

"What's the matter, I was a little heavy just now, and I didn't hurt anything when I fell."

, Mu Xi looked at this soldier with some guilt, just now she had enough strength, although the slope is not steep, but it is full of sharp rocks and hard blocks.

"General, I'm useless, I didn't protect you well, so the general was injured"

, The soldier cried, he grew so big, it was the first time someone blocked arrows for him, he looked down on this general yesterday, he was really a dog's eye.

"You are really useless, what are the three-foot men crying for, it is inevitable that there will be injuries on the battlefield, you are not careful in doing things, you don't know if there is an ambush, don't cry and lose your face, I didn't cry at any of my daughters' families! Why are you crying! ”

, Mu Xi accidentally said that he was smooth, and quickly covered his mouth.

The soldiers laughed, they thought that Yun Muxi was doing this to ease the atmosphere, but instead increased their good impression of the general in front of them who had only been with him for a few days, and this victory also increased Yun Muxi's prestige in their hearts.

Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he was not suspected, "It's not early, let's go down to the bottom of the valley, set up a tent to rest overnight, and set off tomorrow."

。

"Yes!"

, the soldiers responded in unison: "General, let's carry you down the valley."

。

"Don't, I'm an arrow in the shoulder, not a lame leg!"

, Mu Xi shook her head again and again and denied, she was a big general who wanted someone to carry something like something, although it was pretend, but it was also majestic!

Those brute force soldiers don't care about this, plus after getting along with Yun Muxi for a few days, they all feel that this general is an easy-going and cute little general, and he is much bolder, and a strong soldier picks Mu Xi up and takes all the soldiers down the valley.

"You lighten up, my shoulder still hurts"

In desperation, Mu Xi had no choice but to be a person who was carried comfortably.

"Big fat man, do you hear it, if you dare not lightly, we will all besiege you"

。

"Hahaha"

, another burst of laughter.

"The general's name is famous, and he will wipe out the enemy army at the beginning with us"

。

"Everywhere, it's everyone's work"

, Mu Xi scratched his hair embarrassedly, and then analyzed: "This is just the first battle, we can't take it lightly!" The barbarians went through this time, and they won't be so stupid next time."

"Yes, General, we are on guard"

。

"General, after bandaging your wounds, let's go to the valley to get some game and open meat"

。

"yes, we're hungry"

。

At this time, the whole team was talking and laughing because of the victory, and it was very warm, and Mu Xi smiled with relief, and for the first time realized what it means to be united.

At this time, the army on the other side of the valley.

"Newspaper"

, a pathfinder hurriedly ran over, "Lord Wang, the sound just now came from that direction"

。

"The people will obey the command and speed up in that direction"

Nan Wufeng tightened the horse's belly, spurred the horse's stock, and led the army to trace the source of the sound.

And the woman in white behind him unconsciously hugged his strong waist.

Here, Yun Muxi and the others soon reached the bottom of the valley, the road was flat, and Mu Xi and his soldiers planned to camp on the spot.

A soldier with sharp ears suddenly became vigilant, "General, I seem to hear the sound of horses' hooves!" ”

。

Mu Xi hurriedly made a shushing gesture and asked the soldier at the front of the square, "Do you hear how many people there are?" ”

。

The whole team fell silent, and the soldier pricked up his ears, counted silently, and after a while, he spoke: "It is estimated that there are 40,000 horses, and they are not far from us, and they are coming soon."

。

40,000 horses, Mu Xi calculated in his heart, their army has not sacrificed much, it is about the same as the original number, there are 50,000 when it is full, and it is not inferior to the enemy in terms of quantity!

In addition, most of the gunpowder has not been used up, so Mu Xi is ninety percent sure in his heart.

"All in ambush, when the enemy comes, the infantry will be the first to attack, and the archers will continue to ambush, waiting for my order to drop bombs"

"Yes, General"

。

The soldiers hid in an orderly manner in the crevices of the rocks around the valley.

Mu Xi endured the pain, in order to prevent the displacement of the long arrow, and the heavy bleeding in her arm, she held the arrow on her arm tightly, it seemed that the arrow had to stay in her body for a while.
