Late at night on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year of the 19th year of King Chu Hui, the wharf on the east side of Wangcheng was re-lit, which used to be the most lively place in Wangcheng, but after the Rong army attacked Wangcheng, the second city in Shou County fell into a panic, and the dock where countless ships came and went in the past was also depressed and unoccupied.

If it weren't for the crane riding to the east of Shoushui, perhaps this pier would never have been the same as it used to be, with countless merchant ships docked at the pier.

Hundreds of boatmen looked at the majestic Yunhe cavalry, even if they were illiterate low-level, they knew in their hearts what the three thousand cavalry in front of them were going to face, and they couldn't help but pray silently in their hearts.

Mi Dan looked at Lu Qikun in front of him and said in a deep voice, "May the saints of my human race bless, and the army will return safely with the three thousand cloud crane cavalry."

Lu Qikun sneered, "Thank you, Sect Leader Mi for your blessing"

After saying that, he didn't turn back and left to board the big ship.

The big ship slowly left the dock of Wangcheng and disappeared into the night under the gaze of Mi Dan and others.

There are no stars in the night sky, and the bright moon that appeared even on a snowy day in the past has disappeared tonight, as if it is seeing off Lu Qikun and the three thousand cloud cranes.

Lu Qikun looked at the vanished Wangcheng Wharf from the bow of the boat, and thought with great complexity in his heart, "Wangcheng will restore the name of Wangshousai from now on."

But then Lu Qikun laughed at himself: "I guess my situation is more dangerous now."

Stepping to the bow of the ship and looking at the dark east, the sparse snow was not as dense as before, but Lu Qikun's heart did not have the slightest joy. Looking at the snow-covered land, it is impossible not to be afraid and afraid, after all, you are facing the Rong tribe that once shrouded the heads of the human race.

Lu Qikun took a deep breath to relieve the fear and fear in his heart, but no matter how he thought of the enemy he was about to face, fear and fear were like a continuous spring, pouring into every corner of his heart.

Vice General Yunhe, who was beside the "general", suddenly spoke.

Lu Qikun looked at Deputy General Yunhe in surprise, after all, this was the first time that the other party spoke first.

A smile appeared on the perennial expressionless face of Deputy General Yunhe, and he looked at the big road that was gradually approaching, "General, we will all die on that land."

Lu Qikun nodded and said, "You're scared"

Vice Admiral Yunhe shook his head and said, "Yunhe is not afraid."

"Then why do you ask that," Lu Qikun puzzled.

Vice Admiral Yunhe smiled and said, "We are not afraid of death, but if it is not worth dying, we have no shame to meet my ancestors of Yunhe Ride"

Lu Qikun looked at Vice General Yunhe silently, then clenched his hands into fists and said with a hard expression, "No, I will lead you back, so that the name of Yunhe Riding will resound throughout the world."

.................

The big ship docked, the wide and heavy wooden planks connected the big ship and the earth, Lu Qikun and the three thousand cloud cranes rode down, the cold wind blew from the far east, the beautiful white snow gradually covered the armor of the cloud crane rider, the white dragon and the three thousand war horses stepped on the ground strongly, the three thousand cloud crane riders had resolute eyes, and everyone had the determination to die.

The lieutenant general of the Cloud Crane Cavalry sorted out the formation, and at the same time sent several cavalry as scouts to check the surrounding situation, and with the departure of dozens of scouts, there were hundreds of elites of the Night Owl Army in the darkness, and they also disappeared into the thick night.

Lu Qikun turned his head to look at the departing big ship, and the little light on the boat gradually faded away, and finally disappeared into the thick night.

"Let's go" Lu Qikun roared, driving the white dragon in the direction of Tucheng.

The night's march met no resistance, and soon came to the planned city, Peach City.

Taoxian is a very ordinary city east of Shoushui, and it is also a county seat without any characteristics in Shou County.

It's just that this ordinary city in the past is full of strategic importance today.

When Lu Qikun and Yunhe rode to the field outside Taocheng, and looked at the city gate to open the empty city, they did not rush into Taocheng.

Lu Qikun looked at Taoxian Road, "How is the situation around?"

"When the scouts sent out came back, they didn't see any people," Vice Admiral Yunhe said with a serious expression.

Lu Qikun shook his head and said, "The situation is not right, the Rong people occupied the east of Shoushui and attacked Wangcheng west of Shoushui, it stands to reason that this land should be full of Rong scouts, even if we come to the east of Shoushui late at night, they don't have time to stop it, but so far in Taoxian overnight, there has been no appearance of the Rong army, this situation is too unusual."

Vice Admiral Yunhe couldn't help but say "trap"

Lu Qikun looked at Taoxian County and said, "If Taoxian is a trap, then there must be an army of the Rong clan around, continue to send people to check the situation around"

Vice Admiral Yunhe immediately arranged, and suddenly thirty Yunhe riders were in a team of five and left in different directions.

"General, what should I do next?" Vice General Yunhe then asked.

Lu Qikun didn't answer but just stared at Taoxian closely, his brain was running quickly to consider all the possibilities, of course, the best choice was to leave, but Taoxian's position was too important and extraordinary, and Taocheng must be taken in the discussion of the people in Wangcheng, so that it would be possible for Da Chu's army to come to this land again, just like the time when Xu Chu was fighting for hegemony.

Taoxian, a city that has experienced three hundred years of the Chu State, looks very ordinary in ordinary times and has no strategic significance. But when Xu Chu was fighting for hegemony, the east of Shoushui was still the place of Xu State, and Taoxian was the strategic place of Xu State at that time, and it was an important city leading to the front line. It's just that with the victory of the Chu State in the Battle of Shoushui, after the long drive straight into the east of Shoushui and the inclusion of the Chu State, the significance of the city of Taoxian was useless.

Even if the Xu State dominated the Central Plains fifty years ago, there was still the existence of Dongshou Sai in the easternmost part of Shou County, and the problem of its grain and grass was enough for the other two nearby counties, so Tao County was not important in the past, but now the Rong people suddenly invaded and occupied the land east of Shoushui, so that Lu Qikun and others instantly understood the importance of Taocheng.

So Lu Qikun has a headache now, the Tao County in front of him is the county seat that Lu Qikun can't give up no matter what, and it is also the county seat that Chu State must get.

"No matter what, send someone to check the situation inside first, no matter what the details can't be missed," Lu Qikun said in a deep voice, this is the only way now.

Vice Admiral Yunhe nodded and gave an order behind him, and a full five hundred Yunhe rode to Taocheng.

Time passed slowly bit by bit, and the snow had long since stopped, and the sun peeked out from the clouds, scattering warm sunlight towards the earth. But the howling cold wind was like a sharp knife, constantly blowing towards the snowy earth, as well as Lu Qikun and Yunhe who were anxiously waiting.

Lu Qikun looked up at the sun in the sky, calculated the time when five hundred cloud cranes rode into the city, and was just about to give orders to the deputy general on the side, when he suddenly saw the shadow of a cavalry at the gate of Taocheng, but only one cloud crane rode from Taocheng.

Keeping a close eye on the cloud crane rider from far and near, when he saw the knight on the war horse, Lu Qikun was shocked for a moment and before he could speak, suddenly the earth shook violently, and countless snow was set off in all directions, and the Rong army ran surging like a huge wave.

"Meet the enemy" Lu Qikun shouted, and then took out the Cloud Crane Order and raised it towards the sky.

In an instant, all the cranes roared "Cranes spread their wings"
