Gongzi Liangsheng stood at the bow of the boat, a little distracted. He wore a crimson cloak and no armor. The rush of the past few days, coupled with the unaccustomed use of boating on the water, made his face look a little haggard.

The river under my feet is almost halfway through. The two sides of the river turned from wide to narrow, and looking at the undulating mountains not far away, he remembered very well that when he was a teenager, he used to follow his father to hunt in this vicinity. That was the first time he had shot his prey with his own hands.

Hearing General Bai Chu's question, Liang Sheng retracted his thoughts. When he turned his head, there was a clear look of respect on his face.

"General Bai, these mountains that began to appear on the north bank of the river are the remnants of the Nine Elements Mountain. If we continue to walk, we will pass through a canyon area, which the locals of Zhao called Sleepy Dragon Gorge. As long as the fleet passes through there, it will only take half an hour to reach Qixia Ridge at the southern foot of Jiuxing Mountain. The terrain there is open, and after the group lands on the shore, you can quickly enter the Nine Elements Mountain along the gentle slope...... When the army suddenly appears under Dragon City, the general will be successful! ”

Hearing him say it so clearly, Bai Chu was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in the defection of this prince of Zhao Guo. With his help, he not only saved a lot of time, but also reached Dragon City before all the princes' armies. Moreover, it is very likely that the soldiers will achieve the first merit without blood! Thinking of this, his heart was already impatient, and he couldn't wait to cross the mountains and rivers in one step. Then the general order was loudly announced, and all the warships were moving forward at full speed, and the first to arrive should be credited!

"Liang Shenggongzi, you just follow me around, don't go anywhere, so that you can consult at any time. Lest there be no eyes on the battlefield with swords and arrows, if there is any damage to the body, it is not the general's! Ha ha! ”

"Thank you for your concern. I'll know it all! ”

Liang Sheng smiled and agreed. He glanced around silently, and naturally understood in his heart that the other party, as a general commanding heavy troops, would never be such a simple character. While relying on myself, I'm afraid that my heart is always on guard! There is no need to think about this at all, just look at the dozen or so fierce men who have been surrounding him. Nominally, he is protecting his safety, but in fact, if there is a disturbance, I am afraid that he will be the first to die.

The oncoming river breeze blows the familiar smell of the homeland. A huge shadow obscured the glow of the east, and the fleet began to enter the Sleepy Dragon Gorge. Liang Sheng glanced back, but saw that the warships of the Southern Han Dynasty were connected from end to end, stretching for dozens of miles, with complete weapons and equipment on board, and a forest of armor soldiers, and a murderous aura. The huge masts were joined together and almost covered the narrow stretch of the river. At this moment, no one knew that his clenched palms were already full of cold sweat.

"The enemy is coming so fiercely, once more than 20,000 armor soldiers land, their combat effectiveness is not insignificant...... Chu Jiangmian, are you really ready?! ”

This is not to blame Liang Sheng for being so worried in his heart, it is really that he does not have complete confidence in the defense power near Dragon City. Although he took the initiative to ask Ying to take over this extremely dangerous deception mission, it was just because he was the most suitable person. Even though Chu Jiangmian had explained to him in detail the battle plan for setting up an ambush in Qixia Ridge, Liang Sheng really couldn't think of what kind of means he would use to wipe out more than 20,000 Southern Han elites in one fell swoop?

Moreover, what he was most unsure of was that Zhao Guo did not have warships at all, nor did he have a naval army. Therefore, there is no way to fortify this large river that crosses the border. The enemy's fleet came and went freely, and if they noticed that something was wrong, they would quickly board the ship and flee or move away.

Chu Liangsheng, who was full of doubts in his heart, was thinking about possible adverse situations over and over again. But he didn't think about his life or death. Because, from the moment he followed Jiang Song out of Dragon City at night, he had already made up his mind to die. Carrying out such a difficult task alone, regardless of success or failure, is already difficult to survive. His promise to return safely that night was just to comfort her.

When the formation of warships had not traveled long, the eyes brightened again. After being trapped in the Dragon Gorge, the banks of the river became wider, and on the gentle slopes of the mountains not far away, you could occasionally see the shadows of fishermen and herdsmen, but before they could flee in panic, they were all shot by the archers on the ship between the rocks.

"The marching route chosen by Liangsheng Gongzi for the general is indeed convenient and hidden. Hehe! Until now, I'm afraid that Zhao's army hasn't noticed it at all! ”

Jiang Song, who had been observing the cross-strait situation, had a very proud expression on his face. The corner of his eye skimmed over the corpses that had been shot, and while he was talking to Bai Chu, he was already thinking in his heart about how to arrange Chu Liangsheng after the victory in this battle. Is it to follow the secret orders of the young master Nie Wushuang and let him die in the chaos? Or do you want to open the net and secretly let him go......?

Bai Chu naturally ignored his thoughts, what he was thinking about now was how to arrange for all the soldiers under his command to land in the shortest possible time, and the soldiers were very fast, at this last moment, he didn't want to delay the pace of the army's surprise attack because of any other accidents.

"Whether it is Liang Shenggongzi or Mr. Jiang Song, they have made great contributions. After this battle, the credit will naturally be indispensable to you! When the time comes, if there are any conditions, this general will act cheaply on behalf of the king of Han. Ha ha! ”

He said casually as he urged the fleet again to speed up, and all the sergeants were ready for war. Because, Zhao Guogongzi, who led the way, told him that Qixialing was ten miles ahead, and after a quarter of an hour, the whole army could land.

The sails are up, and the light covers the sun. The more than 20,000 Southern Han naval troops on the front and rear warships had already received orders from the general. Seeing that he was about to truly set foot on the land of Zhao, everyone's hearts were filled with the desire to fight. Because they had all been promised before, on the day the Dragon City was breached, they could be allowed to plunder for a day, and all the wealth they obtained would be their own! No one can refuse such encouragement or temptation.

Looking at the scene of swords and armor on the warships in front and back, Chu Liangsheng silently tied the front of the cloak that was blown by the wind. The crimson cloak was sewn by the woman he loved. If he was destined to die in battle for a moment, he hoped to be able to wrap it tightly and die in her remaining care.

However, I could already see the outline of the mountains and trees clearly, so why didn't I notice the slightest movement? Chu Liangsheng's heart suddenly tightened. He looked around in confusion, hoping to see the slightest trace of the ambush. However, the river was empty, the mountains were lonely, and nothing was found.

"Liang Shenggongzi, is this Qixialing in front?"

"Yes......."

"The river is gentle, the shore is open, and it is indeed a good place for a large army to land. Ha ha! Pass the order, and now get ready to start .......

The majestic Southern Han famous general Bai Chu drew his sword in his hand, pointed in the direction of the north shore, and ordered the warships of the vanguard to start landing on the shore. But before he could finish his last sentence, suddenly, a strange sound came from between the mountains high on the left side in front of him.

Bai Chu was slightly stunned, his hand raising his sword stopped in mid-air, and looked in that direction. It seemed that time had paused slightly, and between the empty mountains and rivers and rivers, that crisp and pleasant but tactful and melodious sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Even though most of these Southern Han soldiers with weapons in their hands are men who only know how to fight on the battlefield, but at this moment, they also feel that this kind of music is so beautiful. It's not like all the instruments in the world are played.

Gongzi Liangsheng's heart was shocked. All the people on this ship, maybe only he knows what it is. In his memory, when he once entered the palace, he once heard this sound of music. The guy who was called a gentleman by everyone was standing on the rockery pavilion at that time, with fluttering white clothes and a flute in his hand, which attracted all the palace maids to look like...... Liang Sheng raised his head suddenly, could it be that he came in person?!

After a moment of silence, the melodious voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, like a gentle water suddenly meeting a boulder, cracking rocks piercing the clouds, and the waves crashing on the shore. Immediately, the first war drum was finally beaten heavily in the sound of this flute!

"Not good...... There are ambushes! ”

Even if they didn't understand the killing intent contained in the song "Ambush on All Sides" played on the flute, but when the war drums were beating, if they didn't understand what it meant, then these Southern Han soldiers were all idiots!

As someone shouted out these words, the calm picture in front of him suddenly began to change. I saw the big flag raised in Qixia Ridge hunting and flying, and under the flag corner, someone was putting away the flute and looking condescendingly at the river. And next to that flag, several war drums were lined up, and it was vaguely seen that shirtless strong men were beating drums and sounding battle horns.

"General! Look at the slopes over there! Cavalry...... It's the cavalry of Zhao State! ”

Hearing the exclamation of the captain beside him, Bai Chu, who was alarmed in his heart, hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. However, I saw that on the half-slope of Qixialing adjacent to the river, the elite cavalry began to line up one by one from the hidden mountains and forests, and soon set up a formation for battle charge. He realized that he was planning to take care of anything else, and hurriedly passed down the general's order.

"Order all ships not to dock! Go straight down the river and get out of here first......! ”

However, before his order could be delivered, someone had already hurriedly reported it again.

"General, no! The pioneer ship reported that the river in front of it was intercepted by giant trees and iron locks, and it was no longer possible to move forward! ”
