Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it has been the middle of August, and it has been more than three months since I came to Dongying, but there is no news and progress about the target of Donglingmen this time, whether it is Yan Yunxing's side or Su Bingyun's side, they are all in a deep predicament.

East Yingbei, Sunset River Jungle. This year's weather is exceptionally hot, and although it is the golden autumn season, the sun is still scorching.

Deep in the jungle, next to the Sunset River Waterfall, which is more than ten feet high, a young general in full armor and sweat is lying in ambush in the depths of the grass, behind him are his equally tightly wrapped guards, and on the other side of the waterfall are their enemies.

"Lord Satake, the other party has been in ambush for a long time, the weather is hot, and many of his brothers are new recruits, and they can't help but be scorched by the scorching sun, and if we drag it out like this, our side will lose!" A personal soldier lying next to Satake wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a frown.

"Wait a little longer!" Satake was still very calm, and although he was sweating like rain, he was not shaken by it at all.

The sun was gradually rising, and the temperature had reached its peak, and many soldiers on Satake's side were lying in the grass and fell asleep from heat stroke, and all of his men were restless, and they didn't understand why Satake-sama didn't attack.

Time passed minute by minute, more and more brothers fell, just when everyone's spirit was about to collapse, the enemy in the depths of the jungle on the opposite bank finally moved, and a group of Dongying soldiers covered in black armor instantly jumped up from the grass in ambush, and under the leadership of two young generals who were also wearing black armor and four-horned helmets, they shouted and stepped into the turbulent Sunset River.

At this time, far away at the top of the Sunset River Waterfall, under the scorching sun, a huge stone on the river stood two generals with full body drapes, a female general in front of her was particularly eye-catching, she wore a purple gold octagonal phoenix helmet, only revealing a pair of majestic eyes with golden light flowing, wearing eight treasure lotus phoenix scale armor, wrapped around her waist like a purple dragon as long as two zhang long purple whip, stepping on a pair of black gold heavy armor small brute boots, only to see her phoenix eyes turn, looking at the east enemy under the waterfall has attacked, then waved her hand and said softly: "Let the soldiers in ambush shoot arrows from a high place, and at the same time give General Satake an order to slowly retreat and lure the enemy deep into the jungle to the west."

"Yes, Heavenly Empress!" Behind the female general, a young general wearing heavy armor and a hexagonal bright silver helmet heard the order of the Heavenly Empress, and immediately ordered the soldiers who were ambushed around to stand at the mouth of the waterfall and draw their bows and arrows.

"Lord Nitta, Satake has set up an ambush at the mouth of the waterfall, and the brothers have been hit by countless arrows, what should we do?" A young general led by the Black Armor Army looked at the soldiers who fell in front of him one by one, and he was a little confused.

"Lord Shida, now that the military order has been issued, there is absolutely no way to retreat, so I can only let the brothers break the cauldron and fight against the water. Withstanding this vast rain of arrows, as long as we can rush into Satake's formation, his men are all new soldiers, and we will definitely be able to recover our losses and win the victory! "Xintian actually wants to learn from the Han letter of the Dynasty that day, and there is no way to retreat, only to fight to the death.

"Brothers! The new melon and egg on the other side have been scared by us and peed their pants and retreated into the jungle, as long as we can withstand this rain of arrows, the victory will be ours! Rush me! Shida gave the order and took the lead in stepping across the Sunset River and cutting into the jungle on the west bank. When a group of soldiers saw that the two generals Shida and Nitta were so powerful, their morale suddenly soared, and they braved the rain of arrows and rushed into the depths of the jungle one after another.

At this time, the Heavenly Empress at the top of the waterfall watched the Black Armor Army enter the jungle on the west bank, and then said to the general behind him: "This drill can be stopped, the two generals Xintian and Shida have already lost!" ”

When the young general behind him heard the order of the Heavenly Empress, he waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to blow the horn of the truce. In less than a moment, the black-armored soldiers who fell to the ground or in the river under the waterfall all stood up and patted the mud or water stains on their bodies, and soon gathered together to form a phalanx and stood in place.

The Empress slowly left the top of the waterfall under the protection of the soldiers.

……

In the afternoon, the sun was sinking in the west, and in the big tent of the military camp, in the middle of the military case, sat a charming woman with a graceful figure, who was the Empress of Heaven who had removed her armor.

I saw that she was wearing a purple and gold crown of eight phoenixes at this time, wearing a golden colored phoenix dance robe, and a dark golden scarf from under her eyes, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

"Your Excellency the Heavenly Empress, our side has already captured Satake, but I don't know why I suddenly withdrew my troops?" On the right hand side of the Empress of Heaven, there were two generals, Nitta and Shida, and Nitta still didn't quite understand why the Empress of Heaven made this decision.

The Heavenly Empress looked at Xintian and asked softly, "Do you know that the two armies are fighting, what is the most important thing?" ”

"Your Excellency the Empress of Heaven, the two armies are fighting, and the most important thing is that the time and place are favorable!" Nitta bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"A day ago, you had a war drill with Satake-sama, and I asked to join Satake's camp, do you think I'm biased?" The Empress of Heaven did not answer Nitta's words, but instead raised another question.

"Your Excellency, the sergeants under General Shida and I are all veterans who have participated in battles, and most of Satake-sama's men are new recruits, so the battle drill is not fair, and it is only natural for you to join General Satake's camp." Nitta and Shida remembered what they had said yesterday when they drank with Satake Hideyoshi, Satake Hideyoshi was drunk at the time, and kept boasting about how capable his recruits were, and Nitta and the two naturally wanted to teach a good lesson, so they made an appointment with Satake Hideyoshi to practice a battle in the Sunset River Forest on the second day, but the news reached the ears of the Empress of Heaven, so the Empress of Heaven took the initiative to ask to join Satake's side, and also wanted to participate in this drill. Later, after thinking about it carefully, if even the Heavenly Empress could be defeated, wouldn't the status of the two of them in this army be greatly improved? Thinking of this, the two agreed to the Heavenly Empress's request.

"Okay, since you have said so, and you also know that the most important thing for the two armies to fight is the right time and place, so do you two know that there will be an ambush at the mouth of the waterfall at that time?" The Celestial Empress turned to the noon drill. Xintian just wanted to say a few words, but the Heavenly Empress interrupted Xintian's words sharply and continued: "You two must know!" Then why force a pursuit across the river? It's nothing more than looking down on General Satake's recruits, thinking that they have no combat effectiveness, and nothing more than looking down on me and a woman, thinking that I can't think of this! After all, you two are still too arrogant! ”

"My subordinates have no intention of despising Your Majesty, but at that time, we had to send arrows, not to mention that the two adults Shida and I have already rushed into General Satake's formation, as long as it takes another hour and a half, we can win a big victory." Yoshishige Nitta is still a little unconvinced, no matter what you say, the final result is not that we won?

"Hehe......" The Empress of Heaven sneered and stopped talking, at this time, the young general wearing a hexagonal helmet on the left glanced at the two people on the opposite side, and then took out a long arrow, the arrow stained the brazier in the tent, only to hear the sound of "boom", the long arrow instantly turned into a rocket.

The young general waved the rocket in his hand and said coldly: "The two generals, Nitta Yoshishige and Shida Yoshihiro, you can see clearly, if it weren't for the Heavenly Empress ordering Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, you two would have been buried in the jungle fire at this time!" ”

When Nitta and Shida heard this, they suddenly realized that in the depths of the jungle, they were most afraid of fire attacks, and the two of them broke down in a cold sweat for a while, knelt in front of the young general, and hurriedly admitted their mistakes: "Lord Bando, it is the two of us who are negligent, we should not despise Lord Satake, let alone rush forward...... My lord, we know that we are wrong. ”

"It is the Heavenly Empress who needs to hear you admit your mistakes, not me!" Hideto Hando avoided the direction in which the two were kneeling and instead stood behind Satake.

Nitta and the two listened to what Hideto Bando said, so they quickly changed their direction, knelt in front of the Empress of Heaven, and just wanted to say something, but the Empress of Heaven raised her hand to interrupt the conversation of the two, only to see her smile and said: "Okay, the two generals don't need to say it anymore, although the two of you are defeated, but the spirit of the battle against the water is commendable, but it is not used in the right place, and you need to be cautious in the future, and you must not be arrogant and reckless!" ”

"Yes! The subordinates should keep in mind His Majesty's teachings, and in the future, they should be modest and cautious, and no longer act recklessly......" It was only at this time that Xintian and the others finally paid attention to the newly appointed Heavenly Empress.

Hando Hideto looked at the Empress of Heaven sitting on the military chair at this time, and secretly sighed in his heart, the Empress of Heaven is worthy of being a god of heaven, and a small drill can actually use such a scheme, Hando Hideto sighed for a while, and couldn't help but think of the shocking scene when he first saw her half a month ago......

……

Half a month ago, in Akita Castle.

Hando Hideto and Satake Hideyoshi couldn't stand the hot weather, so they made an appointment to go to the Sunset River Waterfall to take a shower and escape the heat, walking all the way, and finally came to the bottom of the Sunset River Waterfall, Bando ordered his soldiers to be on guard in the jungle, turned his head and just wanted to take off his clothes and jump into the river, but Satake on the side stood still looking up at the air and did not move.

Seeing Satake in a daze, Hideto Hando waved his hand in front of him, Satake quickly came back to his senses, only to see that his face was full of reverence, Bando was a little surprised, and asked, "Satake, what's wrong with you?" ”

Satake still looked up at the direction of the waterfall volley, but his mouth responded: "Lord Bando, I'm not going to usher in a world of great controversy, you see, that person who exudes golden light is not the daughter of Amaterasu - the Heavenly Empress Linfan?" ”

When Hideto heard Satake say this, he followed Satake's line of sight and looked at the center of the waterfall, but saw a shocking miracle, only to see a beautiful woman bathed in golden light, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the waterfall, the waterfall is as high as more than ten zhang, and the surging water that fell down did not wet the robe of the beautiful woman at all, at this time the sun directly hit the waterfall, and the woman appeared around a seven-colored rainbow, with the dazzling golden light, as if the Empress of Heaven had fallen into the mortal dust.

The two of them stood for a long time, but the golden woman in the waterfall instantly opened her moving eyes, only to see her twisting her graceful body like a fairy and flying lightly from the waterfall to the west bank, and then took out a dark golden scarf to cover the peerless demon face of the country and the city, and looked at the two of them with a pair of charming eyes, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the two, this is the sphere of influence of Akita Castle?" ”

The woman's slightly hoarse voice sounded like a natural sound to the two of them at this time, could this be the legendary fairy sound?

The two of them were deeply intoxicated by this peerless woman......
