He walked down the mountain along the stream, and the two little wolves followed closely behind him.

Walking all the way in the moonlight, Zhu Lihua's thoughts still stayed beside the clear spring.

He shook his head, still not understanding why the girl said that she liked herself, which was somewhat like money falling from the sky.

She didn't believe she would have such good luck.

But the girl did not hurt herself, except for the blow on her head when she was taken captive.

Although he was not very old and did not have much experience in watching people, what he saw from the girl's eyes was that there was no other cunning impurities except for innocence.

When she said to herself, "I like you", all she heard was sincerity.

Forget it, don't think about it so much, just think of it as a ridiculous but beautiful dream. Didn't the girl also say that no one can guarantee that everyone will be able to survive this war.

It's just that why did she get involved in this war between men.

By the light of the moon, he found that there were many soldiers staring at him with sticks and axes in the dark places on both sides of the stream, but at the same time, he found that those people did not mean to stop him from leaving, so his heart was quite calm.

After walking hundreds of steps and turning a bend in a stream, he noticed that the stream had suddenly formed a small waterfall after passing through a large stone slab, and the water poured down into a rather large pool.

Moreover, this pool was not the only one that flowed into it, but dozens of small streams of different sizes flowing into it at the same time, and then he understood why the soldiers could not find themselves.

The moonlight illuminated the stream clearly, and also reflected the figures of him and the little wolf behind him clearly.

He stood on the stone and looked down, and saw a dense birch forest not far away, and the black patch behind the birch forest, which was a little different from the color of the woods, was the same lake that had been walked on its side.

After determining the direction, he was about to climb down the boulder, but suddenly saw the figures walking by the waterhole, those figures were no strangers to Lihua, and they were his own soldiers.

Early in the morning of the second day, as the sun rose in the east, Gao Yunce, Wei Yuanqi, and Liang Qingshu outside the camp were happy to see that their main general and Liu He, Li Ji, Tang Yuan, An Xuzhi and others who went to the rescue appeared in their field of vision.

After ushering in Lihua, everyone did not ask Lihua about her whereabouts last night, because they could see that Lihua had no intention of telling what happened last night.

After making sure that Zhu Lihua was safe and sound, everyone went their separate ways.

Because according to the original plan, Wu Meng's army needed to create some chaos on the Qingshui Qingyang line to attract the Rong people's troops, for this reason, the result of Wu Meng's discussion with Lu Lihua was that the Rong people were defending the city, so they were lured out of the city.

Three days later, Wu Meng led 15,000 soldiers across Qingshui in the early morning, and marched to Qingshui County with Lihua and Xie Yun.

In less than an hour, the army arrived three miles south of Qingyang County. However, they did not intend to set up camp in the area.

In the face of the 20,000 troops in that county seat, Wu Meng, Zhu Lihua and others were not stupid enough to directly attack the county seat. The 20,000-strong army chose a slightly higher place and set up a formation.

In fact, as early as when Wu Meng's army crossed the river, the Rong people's horses saw the movement of the Qin army, and at this time, the army formation outside the Qingshui City had already been lined up, just waiting for Wu Meng's army to come.

Seeing that the Qin army began to line up three miles away, Xiyan Wanhai, the main general of the Rong people, gave up the idea of taking the initiative to attack and watched the opposing side line up the troops.

After setting up the formation, the Qin army began to beat the drums. Subsequently, more than 2,000 cavalry rushed out from the left and right of the Qin formation and swept towards the Rong army.

Xiyan Wanhai saw that there were only 2,000 cavalry rushing out of the Qin army's formation, so he waved his hand, and in an instant, 5,000 cavalry rushed out of the formation.

Wu Meng and the others saw clearly that these cavalry were all Qin people.

What Wu Meng and the others saw was good, these Qin cavalry were the original Great Qin cavalry who had surrendered their troops.

In a hurry, 40,000 Rong people from the southernmost Tuli Guandong suddenly attacked, and within four days, they connected the four counties of Fenggu, Surabaya, Yuantai, and Hulin.

Most of the generals of the Qin army in the four counties were either killed or captured in the official residences of the county seat during the sudden attack of the Rong people. The leaderless army of more than 30,000 in the four counties was captured without any resistance.

In this way, the Rong people did not suffer any losses, not to mention the four counties, but also captured many soldiers, and most importantly, obtained nearly 20,000 batches of war horses.

In the following days, with the fall of Qingshui and Qingyang one after another, the nobles in the captured armies of the four counties were all slaughtered, and the Rong people were newly promoted to some cloth soldiers with a good reputation on weekdays, and under the leadership of Jiang Hong, Han Linhui and other Qin generals, the original establishment was disrupted and reorganized.

Some of those who did not want to join the army were released back to their hometowns, and the more than 10,000 people who remained followed the Rong people with all their hearts.

Some time ago, these soldiers, together with the 10,000 newly recruited Qin soldiers in Zhuxian County, were taken to the northern front line by Zhezhe and Han Yun to guard against Fang Yuanheng's army, while nearly 20,000 Qin people in the 30,000 army left in Qingshui and Qingyang were the rebels of the original Sumeru Zhuguan and Qinlan Zhuguan rather than local soldiers.

But most of the cavalry in these rebels were experienced soldiers, and at this time, five thousand cavalry roared out, and a gust of wind swarmed towards the two thousand cavalry sent by Wu Meng.

Just as the two long black dragons were about to converge, they suddenly saw the cavalry of the Qin army split into two roads to the left and right, passing by both sides of the cavalry of the Rong army. Seeing this scene, they quickly put Chang Ge on their horses, took off the short bow from their backs, and shot at the Qin cavalry when they mismatched at high speed.

The distance between the two armies is three miles, which is enough for the cavalry of both sides to perform, but the Qin cavalry's tactics of only wandering and not colliding with each other do not play much role in the victory or defeat except for making the battlefield neighing and chaotic.

For more than an hour, the two sides had already changed their horses three or four times, but in the open space in front of the formation, there were not even 100 dead and wounded soldiers on both sides.

In the Rong army array, Xiyan Wanhai frowned and kept saying something to Jiang Hong, Han Linhui and other Qin generals beside him, and those people just kept shaking their heads.

They had never seen such a scene, and looking at the chaotic battlefield, everyone was a little confused.

The commander of the Rong cavalry is named Wen Bo, he was originally a military marquis under Fang Hengxin who guarded Xiao Pass, and then under the attack of the Rong people, he was the first to raise his hands and ask for surrender.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qin army was small, Wen Bo wanted to show himself in front of Xiyan Wanhai, so he personally put on his armor and went into battle with the Qin army.

But when he saw that those Qin cavalry were just chasing each other around his cavalry outside and not actually attacking, he was also angry and funny.

But Wen Bo could also see that although the Qin cavalry was small, the formation adjustment was quite flexible. And he led his soldiers to try several times, but he couldn't stop them anyway.

When the hell is this a head?

Just when Wen Bo had a big headache, he heard the sound of gold in the Qin army. The Qin cavalry on the battlefield made a big circle and returned to their own formation.

Having lost his opponent on the battlefield, Wen Bo looked in the direction of Xiyan Wanhai, knowing that he could not give the order to retreat to the cavalry beside him without the order of his commander.

Fortunately, after a short time, the Chinese army issued a clarion call for withdrawal.

Subsequently, something that really surprised Xiyan Wanhai and the soldiers happened. The nearly 20,000 Qin troops opposite them actually retreated.

At noon, the battle was fought for more than two hours, and after an inexplicable cavalry battle in which each other fired, the main forces of the two sides did not even see what the other side looked like, and the warring side actually retreated.

Xiyan Wanhai was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what tricks the Qin army was playing, so he watched them leave, and he didn't even send out the scouts who were following them.

Under the reminders and suggestions of Wen Bo and others, Xiyan Wanhai sent out scouts to follow the Qin army.

In less than an hour, the scout reported that after the Qin army returned to Crow, except for some who were still stationed in Crow, most of the rest of the men and horses immediately crossed Qingshui through the pontoon bridge and returned to the camp.

Xiyan Wanhai immediately summoned all the officers above the commander of the army to discuss the intention of the Qin army.

For a while, some said that the Qin army was testing the reality of our army, some said that Zhao Zhihai wanted to start an all-out war, and today it was just some forward troops, and there was even a veteran with crane hair and white beard who analyzed it for a long time, but finally said that the Qin army was here to answer the hexagram.

The officers in the hall discussed and discussed, but no one could be sure whether their guess was accurate, so everyone had to go back to rest after discussing until the second half of the night.

At noon on the second day, the Qin army led the army to fight as it did yesterday, but there were fewer soldiers in the army than yesterday.

The course of the battle between the two armies was almost the same as the day before, and the two armies fought for several more hours under the tactics of thunder and no rain, but less than 100 corpses were left on the battlefield. When Xiyan Wanhai couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the whole army to advance towards the Qin army's large array, he saw that the Qin army had retreated again.

For the next three days, every day the Qin army would come to the Qingshui City at noon and line up three miles outside Qingshui City. However, the number of soldiers who came to call for battle each time was much smaller than in previous days.

Finally, at noon on the fifth day, when only 12,000 Qin troops came to call for battle outside Qingshui City, they saw that the Rong soldiers had already finished the formation.

Fifteen thousand soldiers were waiting for the Qin army three miles outside the city.

Seeing that the Qin army arrived on time and as scheduled, Xiyan Wanhai immediately ordered not to give the Qin people a chance to line up, and the whole army rushed towards the location of the Qin army.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin State were still five miles away from Qingshui City, but only two miles away from the Rong soldiers.

Wu Meng saw that today's Rong army launched an offensive against his own army first, and knew that if the formation was at this time, it would be too late to complete it, so he immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the cavalry to intercept the Rong army, and the rest of the soldiers and horses withdrew to Crowxian.

As soon as the army retreated, a scout came to report that 5,000 Rong cavalry had been found on the main road back to Raven Hyeon.

Will you turn around and face the enemy of Qing Shui or fight to the death with five thousand horses?

At this moment, Wu Meng's army, which was in an extremely dangerous situation, was in a dilemma.
