Chapter Ninety-Nine: Playing the Piano to Destroy the Enemy
"General Qiyu, the thief village ahead is empty!"
Sanshan Pavilion, under the Baimu Peak closest to the periphery on the west side, Xu Qian led an army of 5,000 people, slowly advancing along the narrow mountain road, and finally came to the bottom of the first thief village.
This made Xu Qian a little disappointed, and he could only order someone to destroy the cottage at the moment, burn everything that could be burned, and then lead the army to continue to march.
The mountain road was winding and narrow, and the 5,000-strong army was lined up in a long snake formation, and the whole team stretched for several miles. While Xu Qian led the army forward, he sent a large number of scouts to explore the mountains and forests on both sides. However, what he didn't expect was that, unlike the situation at the beginning, the scouts he sent out this time didn't come back for a long time.
What happened?
Xu Qian had a doubt in his heart, and had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly ordered the team to stop advancing, and everyone was ready to fight.
However, what made him feel strange was that after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the mountains and forests, and in desperation, he could only send scouts again, but this time it was the same, after those scouts entered the mountains and forests, they were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no sound at all.
This situation made Xu Qian's heart tighten, knowing that the thieves should be hidden in the mountains and forests, but their number was obviously very small, so he didn't dare to fight hard with him, so he could only sneak attack his scouts to harass his march.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian put his mind at ease, and immediately commanded the team to continue to move forward and go straight to the next cottage.
As a result, what Xu Qian didn't expect was that when he was walking along the mountain road, he didn't want to suddenly hear a gentle singing voice from the side, and when he looked up, he found that on a cliff in front of him, under the white snow, a girl in green, like a fairy descending from the earth, was sitting on the edge of the cliff, caressing Yaoqin.
"The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs with the waves, only remember the present day——"
The girl's voice was clear and beautiful, as if it had magical power, and for a while the officers and soldiers under the mountain were fascinated by it, coupled with the sound of the piano like a wave of flowing water, Xu Qian himself was stunned for a long time.
"Who is this girl?" Xu Qian secretly pondered in his heart, and for a long time, he patted his thigh and said: "Damn, now that I am in the Three Mountains Pavilion, this woman is not a fellow thief, who else can she be?" ”
Thinking of this, Xu Qian squinted at the woman again, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he saw it, he yelled at the moment: "Rush up, catch that woman for me, that's the thief's comrade, whoever can catch him, this general will be rewarded!" ”
Fascinated by the heart, Xu Qian looked at the woman, knowing that this was the fat sent to his mouth, as long as he caught her, he would definitely be at his disposal, and he couldn't say it, and there would be absolutely no problem with correcting her on the spot. Thinking of the girl's soft and bewitching snow-white delicate body under her crotch, Xu Qian even drooled out.
"Kill—"
The officers and soldiers got Xu Qian's order and rushed towards the mountain peak in all directions.
However, what they didn't expect was that the mountain peak did not look high, but the terrain was extremely dangerous, and everyone wanted to go up to the peak, almost only by climbing along the slopes on both sides to the woods behind the peaks, and then from the woods to the peaks, and on the slopes on both sides of the peaks, it was strange to say, there were many trees, white snow, slippery, climbing, extremely difficult, many people just climbed a few steps, they had already tumbled down.
In desperation, the officers and soldiers had no choice but to stick their blades into the snow to stabilize their figures, and then climb up little by little.
After a while, nearly 2,000 people had climbed to the top of the slope, seeing that they were approaching the woods above the slope, while the remaining 3,000 people were crowded in the mountain road, with nothing to do.
It's no wonder, in their opinion, these thieves in Sanshan Pavilion are just a gang of rabble, and now that they heard that the army is coming, they haven't run away yet, where do they dare to resist? So what's going on with this girl? Hey, isn't that obvious? It's spring. I don't want to mix with the bandits, so I play the piano and sing here, the purpose is actually very simple, that is, to attract the attention of their general, so that they can get into the general's bed, and from then on they will be glorious and rich, and they will enjoy it inexhaustibly, hum.
Ren Yingying was still talking about the piano and singing at this time, and at the same time looked sideways at the enemy troops below the mountain from time to time, her expression was full of disdain, but I don't know if she would be so angry that she would go to the blue phoenix if she knew what those enemy soldiers thought in their hearts. She was originally a very conservative and arrogant person, and she definitely didn't like to show her face, and this time it was also at the repeated request of the blue phoenix that she came out to play the piano to lead the enemy, no way, the reason given by the blue phoenix was too difficult to refuse.
"Altar master, look at it, among us, you are the best-looking, and the most talented, you can play the piano, you can sing, sit there, it's like a fairy, those officials and soldiers promise to be stupid as soon as they see you, so ah, this matter, the altar owner is the most suitable, so ah, you can make an exception, anyway, it's not a troublesome thing, altar master, okay-"
Blue Phoenix's last act of pulling her arm and twisting her ass to be coquettish really gave her goosebumps, Ren Yingying was worried that if she was coquettish again, she would kill herself directly, and in desperation, she could only agree to her.
"Rush, brother, work hard, it's going to be the top soon!"
At this time, several officers and soldiers were finally about to climb to the top of the mountain, but at this time, suddenly, I saw the woods above, a sword light flashed, when I looked up, I found that the woods were actually full of people, these people were holding swords one by one, their faces were fierce, there were men and women, at first glance it was not good stubble, several officers and soldiers hesitated, and immediately understood that these were bandits, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Bold thieves, when you see the officers and soldiers, don't surrender quickly, but when?" ”
"Hmph, hahaha, that's ridiculous!" As a result, at this time, I heard a sneer from among the thieves, and then I saw those people raise their hands, and after a while, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and stones fell down one by one, and immediately many officers and soldiers were smashed to the brains, and rolled down the mountain screaming.
The people who rolled down bumped into other people, so for a while, the officers and soldiers rolled down in groups.
This situation shocked Xu Qian's eyelids, and he knew that something was wrong, and then, just as he was about to speak, a junior colonel reported back: "My lord, the main force of the thief army was found on the mountain, and the number was no less than a thousand!" ”
"Okay, I finally got it!" Hearing this, Xu Qian's heart was greatly lifted, and he shouted loudly: "It's all for Lao Tzu, all of them will rush to the mountain peaks for me, whoever rushes up first, Lao Tzu will reward him with a thousand taels of gold!" ”
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers immediately lifted their hearts, and they all rushed towards the mountain peak like mad dogs.
But the slope was so slippery, and though they were very valiant, they couldn't stand steadily, and people kept rolling down, and the thieves kept throwing stones, and the stones were getting bigger and bigger, and at last the stones, each of which was as big as a bucket, rolled down along the peak, booming, and it was really hurting, and those who were touched were dead, and for a while, before they could climb to the peak, they had already killed and wounded a thousand people.
Seeing this situation, Xu Qian's generals couldn't stand it anymore, knowing that this was a trap arranged by the enemy, and hurriedly persuaded Xu Qian not to let the army rush to the peak again, which would only be death.
At this time, Xu Qian also saw the abnormality, and knew that he couldn't do it so brutally, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, prepared to gather people and horses, go around to the back of the mountain, and then look for a way up the mountain.
As a result, what they didn't expect was that just after they gathered the men and horses, they were about to retreat, but they found that there was a raging fire on the mountain road behind them.
In desperation, Xu Qian could only order the brigade to rush forward, but as soon as he rushed out, a raging flame also ignited on the mountain road ahead.
Seeing this situation, Xu Qian was shocked, and hurriedly gathered his men and horses, preparing to rush into the mountain forest on the other side, which was not very steep and slippery.
As a result, what they didn't expect was that at this time, the mountain forest was completely burning, and at the same time, bundles of firewood continued to roll down from the mountain, rushing towards the army with raging flames.
As a result, the army of 5,000 people turned on their backs for a while, and they were burned by the fire and wailed and cried, so that they were not miserable.
There is no other way, and the only way left is to climb the snow-covered slope and fight the thieves to the death!
Xu Qianyi gritted his teeth and commanded the men and horses to rush to the slope, and then, on the slope, there were still rolling logs and stones coming down one after another, but it was only about half an hour, and more than half of the 5,000 officers and soldiers had been killed or wounded.
This situation made Xu Qian's heart tremble, wondering if he was going to die here today?
Fortunately, at this time, one of his subordinates gritted his teeth and said to him: "My lord, don't fight hard, this is the thief's trick, let's rush to the top of the peak with all odds, for today's plan, we can only let the soldiers collect more snow to extinguish the fire on the mountain road, so that we may be able to escape!" ”
When Xu Qianyi heard this, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and immediately ordered his soldiers to collect snow to extinguish the fire.
Sure enough, this trick worked very well, and the fire on the mountain road behind was quickly extinguished, and Xu Qian immediately retreated with the remnants of the defeated army.
However, at this time, I suddenly heard the sound of the piano on the cliff and became rapid, and then I heard a shocking shout of killing, and among the forests on both sides of the mountain road, there were many flags, and the thieves did not know how many, but they rushed towards themselves together.
Seeing this situation, Xu Qian didn't dare to make any resistance at all, so he just rode his horse and fled outward, while the army of Sanshan Pavilion covered and killed all the way, and chased until the outside of the mountain before he stopped and collected his troops.
Poor Xu Qian, after running wild like a rabbit for a long time, he looked at the people around him, only to find that there were only more than 500 people left in the 5,000-strong army.
