The beautiful bloom in the night sky just now made the princess Sanssouci who saw her for the first time almost jump. She forgot to grab Chu Jiangmian's arm reservedly, and asked with a huge surprise tone.

"What's that? It's so pretty! ”

"It's called Fireworks, and it's the signal that this battle has begun."

"Oh...... It's a shame. ”

"What a pity?"

Chu Jiangmian replied casually, standing on a high place, watching the war that started below. Arrows are like flying locusts, people shout and horses neigh, and boiling blood splashes the night like ink

"It's a pity that such a beautiful thing was used by you on the battlefield."

Princess Sanssouci looked up at the night sky, and there was a bit of nostalgia in her eyes. It seems to be reminiscing about the brilliance that I saw for the first time in my life. They may have disappeared, but the incomparable amazement remains in her mind, and she may never forget it again.

Chu Jiangmian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect this princess's mind to be so delicate. However, to talk about this is also too pediatric if it is used on the battlefield! It's just a firework, and when she sees the real "big killer" in the future, she doesn't know how to feel?

"This time it's just a casual use as a signal, don't take it seriously, princess. The real use of fireworks, of course, is not in war, but should be used on auspicious occasions. For example, celebrations, marriages, etc., to increase the ...... of the festive atmosphere. ”

Hearing that Chu Jiangmian still had the patience to explain in such a tense atmosphere, the little star in Princess Sanssouci's eyes became brighter and brighter. She stood side by side with him on the rock, leaning over to watch the battle in the valley, and not knowing what was in mind, she suddenly asked again.

"Then wait until the future...... Will there be fireworks like this? ”

Chu Jiangmian, who was carefully observing the battle situation, didn't seem to hear the true meaning of her words. Seeing that a messenger was coming in a hurry, he didn't have time to say more, so he replied casually.

"Of course you can, you can put as much as you want when the time comes."

Princess Sanssouci whispered in agreement and lowered her head. I felt my face burning. She didn't understand why she was so bold just now, and why she was so shameless to say such a thing, and now it's too late to regret it, that guy must be secretly snickering! Fortunately, the person who came to report the news resolved her embarrassment.

"King! General Tian Feng led the Qi army and had successfully blocked the exit of the valley. The Qin cavalry charged several times, but they all retreated in vain...... He told me to tell the king that Taniguchi was foolproof, and that not a single soldier or horse would be able to escape! ”

"Excellent! Let General Tian not be greedy for merit, his task is to intercept. As long as you keep the valley mouth, it will be a great achievement! ”

Chu Jiangmian waved his hand, and the messenger was ordered to leave, and disappeared quickly. Then he turned around and nodded to the white night that he had been waiting for a long time. The drumsticks in Bai Ye's hands fell, the war drums on the top of the mountain sounded, and in an instant, countless torches lit up high on the mountain ridges on both sides of the logging road. Ambushed here were six thousand elite foot soldiers who followed Chu Jiangmian from the Zhao Kingdom, and with an order, they threw down the torches in their hands together.

Although the logging road is wide, it is no problem to run three horses side by side. But on the mountains on both sides, the grass is deep and the trees are thick. It's been a long time since it's rained, and it's very dry. The torches fell into the dry grass and immediately ignited the fire. And with the help of the wind in the valley, it immediately burst into flames.

Mu Xueqing, who was blocked from progressing, already knew that something was wrong. Especially after the Qin cavalry couldn't break through the defense line set up by the roadblockers even though they tried their best, he knew that the enemy must have ambushed a powerful killing move here. In his eagerness, he shouted loudly for the whole army to turn around and return the way they came, while vigilantly observing the situation around him.

As a famous general, he watched and listened to all directions, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he immediately found that someone was standing on the high place of the mountain and watching, although the image was blurry and could not be seen clearly under the moonlight, but he immediately concluded. That must be where the enemy's commander is.

"Hurry up and retreat, or it'll be too late!"

The cavalry captain, who had received the order of the commander-in-chief, commanded loudly to turn the horse's head. It's just that in a hurry, it is inevitable that there will be some panic, and the war horses will neigh, huddled together.

And in this moment, the enemy army in ambush began to launch. Where the fire started, thick smoke billowed out. Within more than ten miles on both sides of the logging road, they were lit by fires. Mu Xueqing's eyes flashed fiercely, but she was not flustered. During these years of military career, he encountered several times of crisis. Even if it is a moment of fate, it is not unprecedented. Since the enemy has already laid an ambush, he can only rush out desperately.

"Don't worry about anything else, take cover alternately with big shields, and evacuate quickly! Rush out of this valley first. ”

Although the fire burned fiercely, fortunately, the logging road was wide and the fire was very far away. For a while, it won't do much damage to the cavalrymen who are fully armored.

The cavalry under Mu Xueqing's command is really not comparable to other armies, and the military quality is very high. After the initial panic, the people walking behind quickly adjusted their formation. According to the general's order, the rear team became the front team, and everyone erected shields on the horses to form an effective defense against the enemy's attack with bows and arrows. Then the retreat began.

And those cavalrymen who wanted to break through the front Qi defense line earlier had to temporarily choose to retreat. In the process, they lost about two or three hundred horsemen. Although he was full of anger, he was helpless.

By this time, the Qin army on the war horse could already see the enemy figures appearing on the mountains on both sides. Although they knew that the other party had already taken precautions, in the hearts of most people, they did not realize that they were about to fall into a catastrophe. In this case, it is most common to be attacked with bows and arrows by ambushers. And at such a distance, these Qin troops, who had a lot of combat experience, did not think that they would be fatal. If the opponent does not rush down and get close to the battle, the power of the bow and arrow will be greatly reduced. What's more, they are protected by shields and armor, so they don't have to worry too much about their own safety.

However, this proud and arrogant cavalry thought wrong. Responding to the latest crisis with the experience of taking for granted is bound to lead to defeat. I'm afraid that even Mu Xueqing, who single-handedly went down to the thirty-six cities of Qi State, hasn't realized this truth. And the consequences of their misjudgment of the situation from top to bottom will be serious!

"King Zhao...... It's time to attack, right?! ”

Lan Lingjun, who had been nervously watching the situation from the side, couldn't help it when he saw that Chu Jiangmian was still calm, and he couldn't help it, and he couldn't help urging it. In fact, not only him, but all the soldiers who were in ambush on both sides of the mountain were holding their breath and waiting anxiously for the official attack order.

The people of Qin are really here! It was not at all unexpected by the king. They all entered the preset ambush circle. Even these soldiers of the Zhao State, who had already sincerely admired Chu Jiangmian, still had the same thought in their hearts when they saw this scene.

"The king is like a god! The so-called famous generals in the world are not worth mentioning in front of him. ”

Chu Jiangmian, who knew everyone's thoughts very well, watched as the cavalry of the Qin State began to turn around and retreat. He nodded to Lan Lingjun, and then waved his hand to give an order to the soldiers behind him.

"Let's get started!"

As soon as the words fell, ten thousand arrows were fired. The soldiers of Zhao State, who were full of enthusiasm, pulled the crossbow machines in their hands from both sides. This section of the logging road within a radius of more than ten miles was completely covered by crossbow arrows in an instant.

The cavalry of the Qin State, who had experienced countless swords and arrows, never thought that there would be such a sharp attack method in the world. When a large number of cavalry were shot through their armor and fell off their horses under the first blow, they were shocked to find that even the iron arrows of the barbarians could not be compared with the crossbow arrows they had just suffered.

Not to mention the armor on the body, even a strong shield could not withstand the rain of arrows shot from diagonally above. These bolts came so quickly that it seemed that the opponent did not need to aim at all, and fired them directly and continuously, aiming at the target until they were shot off the horse.

In the midst of the blazing firelight, the well-trained cavalry of the Qin army began to cause chaos. Having seen the tremendous power of the Divine Crossbow for the first time, they finally understood that it was not by chance that the Qin State had been defeated by the Zhao State in succession. However, by the time fear began to rise in the hearts of these proud cavalrymen, it was already too late.

The distance of more than ten miles is not very long, and it can be reached by horse in normal times. But now, in the eyes of Qin Jun, who was struggling with blood and fire, it seemed so long that it seemed that he would never be able to escape.

There is no doubt that it will be difficult for those who are shot off their horses to have a chance to escape. In the chaos, they were either trampled to death by the horses behind them, or they were nailed to the ground by the crossbow arrows that continued to be fired, and they were helplessly dying.

In less than half an hour before and after, this cavalry, which can be called the most elite cavalry in the world, seems to have been decided by the master of the secret.

However, there are those who are not willing to accept such failures. There have been moments like this in his 100-battle career. And those who want to kill him are often killed by him. Because, the reason why the man named Mu Xueqing is called the second general of the Qin State is in addition to the reason why he fought bravely and won a hundred battles. What's more, and not too many people know, is that he is a hidden peerless master!

Mu Xueqing, who was closely protected by the henchmen and warriors of the Hundred Horses, did not look at the casualties around him. The matter has come to this point, and the distraction is chaotic. All his attention was firmly fixed on the direction of the enemy's commander. His gaze was like lightning, and through the fire and the rain of arrows, he finally saw the figure standing on a high place watching the battle.

A long roar, the sword light slashes the moon, the fierce horse is like a dragon, and the head of the king is the style of a famous general!
