Chapter Ninety-Seven: Return to the Customs

Jing Ge glanced at the garrison of the Ninth Army of Xiliang from afar, the boundless camp tent, the banner covering the sun, there were 300,000 soldiers there.

The drums sounded like thunder, and as far as the eye could see, there were Xiliang soldiers, besieging him all over the mountains.

No wonder the old thing in the past had to be wounded and flee in the face of the army, Jing Ge sighed in his heart.

I had never been on a real battlefield before, and I thought that the strong people of the King Realm could come and go freely from the ten thousand armies. Now that I am immersed in the scene, I know that it is not easy to get out of trouble in the midst of many sieges.

He had already seen that the Xiliang soldiers were just trapping him, and there was no killing intent.

Jing Ge rode his horse forward quickly, and the spear swept through like a dragon, and there was no enemy.

A member of the Xiliang battle general came head-on, holding a mace stick, and smashed it towards Jing Ge with the momentum of the galloping horse.

Jing Ge held the gun in one hand, and then instantly reversed the spear and stabbed it in the back, and the general rolled over and rolled off the war horse, dodging the blow.

Hey? Jing Ge was surprised, this warrior was only in the realm of five or six grades, and he could avoid a blow that was as fast as lightning. It seems that the generals who rush to kill on the battlefield are indeed much stronger than ordinary warriors.

Jing Ge was thinking about it, when he suddenly jolted violently, and the war horse under him neighed, fell to the ground, and slid more than ten meters away.

Tripping horses.

Jing Ge did not stop after landing, and quickly rushed forward to kill. After a while, an alarm was born in his heart, and he glanced back at it. I saw a sharp arrow silently shooting at his leg and foot.

He took two steps sideways to avoid the arrow, and his heart was terrified. With his spiritual sense, how could he not clearly perceive this attacking arrow?

Looking closely, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing in different directions in the distance, surrounding him in the center, holding strange flags in their hands and drawing mysterious runes.

The white light flickered, and the head of one of the soldiers holding the flag fell to the ground, and a figure in a pink shirt floated closer, with a frosty face on his face.

"Your Highness, hurry up, this kind of magic circle can interfere with spiritual consciousness and energy nodes, and it is a common means in the army to deal with top powerhouses." Qianxue said, pulling him up and leaving quickly.

She was not as merciless as Jing Ge, relying on the sharpness of the Shuanghua Sword, everywhere she passed, there were stumps and broken arms that were braving the cold.

After Qianxue's reminder, he realized that no one was better at this kind of Xuanmen technique than his cheap big brother, and this kind of magic circle should have been improved by him.

There are strange people in the world, and there are endless tricks and tricks, and the idea that he can push all opponents when he first entered the king realm is too complacent. We should remain humble, always be in awe, and introspect ourselves.

"Why are you stunned? Let's go. Qianxue said back, anger in her voice.

"Uh-oh." Jing Ge hurriedly answered, not daring to look at her, knowing that she blamed herself in her heart for sneaking to Xiliang without telling her.

The master and servant rushed all the way to kill, like a terrifying dragon, and the Xiliang sergeant was difficult to stop.

"I don't want that Jingqing's son to be so brave, fortunately, he is resourceless and wise, otherwise he really can't let him go back to Yanmen Pass." Mr. Fan and Tuoba often stood on a high slope and observed.

"How can the gentleman tell that he is unresourceful?" Tuoba often looked at the figure from a distance, and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Haha, with his skills, if he hides, he may not be able to quietly return to Yanmen Pass. But isn't it stupid to show your tracks so swaggeringly? Mr. Fan laughed.

Tuoba Chang nodded, feeling reasonable.

"Where's Miss Yun'er?" Qianxue cut down a soldier and entered the small forest with Jingge, and for a while, the Xiliang soldiers couldn't find them.

The situation was critical before, she didn't have time to think about it, but now that she had eased up a little, she suddenly found that Jing Ge had come back alone, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried and uneasy in her heart.

"She is safe and sound, and she stayed in Xiliang Qingqiu, and I will tell you more about the reasons for this later." Jing Ge said.

Qianxue nodded, relieved, as long as she was safe and sound.

There were shouts outside the forest, war drums shook the sky, and the sound of iron horses galloping came from time to time, and this forest was surrounded by thousands of troops and horses. And Jing Ge didn't have the slightest panic on his face, he was still calm, and Qian Xue inexplicably calmed down when she saw him like this.

"What happened in the imperial capital during my absence?" Jing Ge asked, and the two of them walked slowly in the forest.

"It is true that something happened, the two princes and princesses who came to marry in the Qi Kingdom died in the imperial capital, and it is rumored that it was the hand of the little princess Li Yao." Qianxue said that she had received news from the imperial capital.

"Now that the State of Qi has declared war on Great Qin, there is tension between the two countries, and war is imminent." Qianxue said.

Xi Liang really had a good way, and he was really able to successfully assassinate the prince and princess of Qi in the imperial capital, and blame Li Yao. Jing Ge frowned.

"Originally, the marriage between the two countries was a happy event, and I didn't want it to cause a war." Qianxue sighed lightly, "This Princess Li Yao is inevitably too ignorant of the overall situation." ”

"It wasn't the little girl's doing." Jing Ge shook his head and said, Li Yao is just a delicate princess, even if she really has such a mind, she will definitely not be able to do it.

It must be known that Empress Wu attaches great importance to this matter and intends to unite Qi to fight against Xiliang. The prince of Qi must be heavily guarded and heavily defended. But even so, Xiliang still succeeded, which was terrifying.

"But many people were present at the time, and what they saw with their own eyes was that Princess Li Yao poisoned the two princes of Qi with dove wine." Qianxue said.

"Even so, it wasn't her intention, it should have been taken advantage of." Jing Ge said after a moment of silence.

"Who is taking advantage of that?" Qianxue asked.

"Who is in the best interest of a failed marriage?" Jing Ge said, the answer is obvious.

"Xiliang." Qianxue woke up and said, "But we can all think of Xiliang's trick, and Qi Guo should be able to think of it too." ”

"What if you think of it? After all, their prince died in the imperial capital, and even more so at the hands of the princess of Qin, and anger at Qin was inevitable. Jing Ge sighed, King Qi lost three children at once, how sad it was, and it was reasonable to raise troops to attack Qin.

Poisoning the prince of Qi by Li Yao's hand in front of everyone's eyes is really too shocking, and the Empress Wu must have never expected that it should be the handiwork of the cheap big brother.

Jing Ge had a faint premonition in his heart, this was just the beginning.

"Alas, I don't know how Empress Wu will deal with this. If Qi and Qin really fight, I'm afraid that Xiliang will also take the opportunity to attack Yanmen Pass. Qianxue said.

Jing Ge nodded, what she said was reasonable. Qi and Qin live in peace, and Great Qin can continuously draw troops from the other two major armies to support Yanmen Pass, and Xiliang will not attack it.

If Qi and Qin are in a battle, the enemy is on their backs, and the other two major legions have no time to separate, Xiliang will definitely send troops.

At that time, the smoke will be everywhere, the people will not be able to make a living, and the Northwest Army will also suffer great losses.

"So Qi and Qin can't go to war." Jing Ge said. "We have to rush back to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"Now that I am deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, I am afraid that it will not be easy to get out." Qianxue said softly, no one noticed her when she sneaked over at Yanmen Pass before, and now she was besieged in the forest after meeting with Jingge.

The Xiliang soldiers began to set fire to the mountain and forced them out, and they could feel a lot of hidden and strong aura, not much weaker than her, and they were good in the Xiliang army. When they do the same, it will be even more difficult.

In addition, in the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to prevent it, and once you are accidentally injured, the consequences can be predicted.

The real battlefield was much more dangerous than she had imagined, and these blood-soaked soldiers were not wine bags and rice bags. The quick and insidious reaction between advance and retreat, even if the strength is far superior to theirs, it is difficult to kill easily.

As soon as Qianxue's words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of drums on the side of Yanmen Pass, the sound of iron horses stepping on the ground was like thunder, and the sound of shouting and killing came from several miles away.

"This is? Did the Northwest Army come to the rescue? Qianxue said in surprise, and she looked at His Highness beside her.

"Let's go, go meet them." Jing Ge nodded and said, his face was calm, not showing joy like Qianxue, but he was still quite relieved in his heart.

He knew that someone in Yanmen Pass had revealed his information in Xiliang to Tuoba Chang, but he couldn't be sure if it was his Uncle Yang's instructions.

Therefore, he did not hide his traces when he came back, and wanted to see if Yang Wei allowed the Northwest Army to go out of the customs to rescue.

Now it seems that he has spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

However, at this time, he did not feel relieved, but regretted his actions a little. The Xiliang soldiers were trapped in him but did not kill him, obviously waiting for the Northwest Army to come out, intending to attack Yanmen Pass when the gate was wide open.

As soon as the two of them came out of the forest, they saw a torrent of black steel surging, and the general led by it was Yang Bang.

"Young marshal." The generals saw him rein in his horses and shouted.

"The last general's rescue came late, but fortunately, the young marshal is safe and sound." The heart of the elderly warrior finally fell, and he almost burst into tears.

"This is not the place to talk, young marshal, please get on your horse and go back with us." Yang Bang said urgently, the previous general had an order to return quickly after meeting him, and there should be no delay.

"Wait, this time back to the customs, Xiliang will definitely take the opportunity to attack." Jing Ge said in a deep voice.

"My father has ordered his soldiers to be ready for defense." Yang Bang said as he said on the horse, and ordered the whole army to turn around.

"Presumably, Xiliang has already ambushed the army and waited, and if he goes back so rashly, even if he is ready, he will be injured." Jing Ge shook his head and said.

The generals present were silent, and they were ready for a bloody battle before leaving the level, and they were not afraid.

"Fetch the military map and give it to me." Jing Ge stood in front of the formation and said.

One of the soldiers stepped forward and handed him the map.

After Qian Xue saw the generals in front of the army glancing at each other, they got off their horses one after another, surrounded them, and waited in front of His Royal Highness who was holding the scroll, even Yang Bang was no exception.

"How many soldiers are out of the customs this time?" After a moment, Jing Ge closed the scroll and asked.

"10,000 elite light riders." Yang Bang replied.

Jing Ge looked around and said loudly, "General Zuo Qizuo listens to the order. ”

"The end will be." A general stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and it was the veteran who had asked for orders to go out of the customs for rescue many times before.

"General Zuo, please lead two thousand light horsemen along the stream from this road at the fastest speed to reach the flank of Yanmen Pass. There is a valley, and there should be a Xiliang footman. After the encounter, General Zuo only had to make a quick surprise attack, not a fight. After breaking through the enemy's battle formation, rendezvous at the direct return gate. ”

"There is an open field at the exit of the twenty-mile narrow road on the right wing of Yanmen Pass, where there should be Xiliang light cavalry. Please General Mu Bai Mingmu led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the rear, but he still couldn't fight, and he was just a touch. I took the rest of my soldiers to meet them from the other way. "The lives of the generals in the Northwest Army, he has long remembered them one by one.

"Yes." The two generals responded in unison.

"Remember to be fast, don't let the Xiliang Army react." Jing Ge instructed again, this is the key to whether or not you can successfully return to Yanmen Pass. It was caught off guard and retreated before Xiliang could react.

"The last will understand." After the two generals responded, they quickly led the army to do what they said.

"Young marshal, what about me?" Yang Bang asked, he was originally the main general, but now Jingge divided his troops to raid, but he didn't let him lead the army.

"General Yang Bang is a little restless, and there is another important task to the general." Jing Ge turned over and smiled.

"Please ask the general to personally lead five hundred brave elites to go straight up this slope." Jing Ge pointed to a hillside and said. "This is the highest point outside the Guan, and the military order sent by Xiliang must be signaled with a flag at the highest point. It is the most important thing that the general must take the node so that the military order cannot be conveyed to the forward troops lying outside the Yanmen Pass in time, so that they cannot respond in time. ”

"Command." Yang Bang said happily, extremely satisfied with this important task, and immediately ordered five hundred elite soldiers to rush to the top of the slope.

Qian Xue secretly glanced at Jing Ge from the side.

I saw His Royal Highness sitting on a war horse, holding a spear, his eyes were resolute, and his expression was calm and calm, as if he was in his chest. Allocation and scheduling, with its own prestige in every move, quite the style of a general, not at all like the appearance of the first time on the battlefield.

"Full speed ahead." Jing Ge raised his gun and waved, and ordered.

took the lead, followed by more than 2,000 horsemen, and rushed straight to the right flank of Yanmen Pass, and Mu Baiming attacked the Xiliang ambush army in front and back.

Zuo Qi led the army to the valley, and sure enough, he found a large number of Xiliang foot soldiers with many siege equipment, waiting for orders.

The young marshal's expectations were not bad at all, which was admirable, he thought to himself.

"Rush over." He ordered.

The cavalry and horses were all covered with armor, armed with spears, and the impact of galloping was extremely amazing and difficult to stop.

Although there were only two thousand iron horsemen, after the charge, a torrent of steel roared by, and the foot soldiers could not resist at all, plus it was a surprise attack behind them. The soldiers hiding in the valley were unprepared, and they were in great confusion, and for a time they threw away their armor and fled in all directions.

Zuo Qi's heart was very happy, and he hadn't fought fiercely out of the customs for a long time. Xiliang's soldiers shouted and scolded arrogantly outside the gate from time to time, and he drank and held his breath.

However, he did not forget Jing Ge's instructions, and only led the army to attack back and forth twice, and after stunting the enemy formation, he quickly broke out of the battle and rushed to the gate.

The Xiliang cavalry on the other side was also flanked, and it was chaotic for a while. Although the number is superior, the formation is chaotic and cannot be echoed.

After Jing Ge and Mu Baiming's two armies met, they also quickly left the battle.

"Hurry up and report to Commander Tuoba." The attacked Xiliang generals ordered people to report while reorganizing the army, and at the same time waited for military orders.

The order he received was to lead the army to wait here, and after seeing the flag order, he rushed to Yanmen Pass as fast as possible. Unexpectedly, he was inexplicably subjected to a wave of attacks, and he never saw the flag order.

After a long while, he saw several red flags waving on the top of the slope. Immediately led the army to gallop to the Yanmen Pass, only to see the indestructible steel gate slowly descending, closing the last gap.
