82. Fire clouds
readx; Time passed, when Ash arrived at the open space outside Yinzhuo's hideout with Jinglan, Concubine Ling and others, the sky above the Qiming Mountain Range was already covered with a piece of starlight, compared to the gloomy weather in the daytime, today's night was exceptionally bright, the bright moon shone all over the earth, there was not a trace of dark clouds in the sky, and the stars were dotted everywhere, clear and gorgeous, forming a shocking scene. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After joining up with the soldiers of the Lan family, Jinglan has been arranging the next action on her own, while trying her best to appease Concubine Ling's party and her men, and the soldiers are also preparing in full swing with her orders, making this night seem extraordinarily unpeaceful.
Compared with Jinglan, Ash seems much more leisurely, he doesn't care about Jinglan's movements, just leads his men, standing quietly under the night sky, bored, looking up at this magnificent starry sky for a long time, like this, without the slightest industrial pollution, pure as a newborn baby, for him, who has lived in modern society for many years, it is very difficult to see.
In addition, since Ash crossed into this world, he has been in full swing to develop his own power, almost no leisure, naturally there is no opportunity to enjoy life, during this time, the only way he can relax is to look at the starry sky above his head for a long time in the middle of the night, because every time he looks at the night sky, an indescribable peace will emerge in his heart, just like that beautiful scenery, with a power that can wash and soothe his soul.
It's almost become a habit for him.
"We're ready to go."
After a long time, the noise in the temporary camp began to gradually subside, and Jinglan had already arranged many matters, only to see her riding up to Ash and whispering: "This battle, I can't say that you still have to take the lead. ”
Hearing this, Ash withdrew his gaze, looked at Jinglan like a moon fairy in the moonlight, and chuckled, "I understand." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ash shook the reins of his horse and moved, and behind him, the three hundred iron guards who were originally standing like sculptures also moved in response to the sound, and their neat steps were like the drumbeat of the band, beating heavily on the bodies of everyone present, and the mighty team did not make a single noise, and even the sound of the armor rubbing against each other was so neat, and the taste of the iron-blooded male master was unobstructed.
As soon as Ash moved, even the soldiers of the Lan family, who were accustomed to seeing each other's toughness, all set their eyes on them in unison, with bursts of emotion in their hearts, with longing and admiration in their eyes, everyone's movements were subconsciously neat and capable, and it seemed that they didn't want to be compared too much by the other party.
And the soldiers of the Ou Lai family, the Red Maple family and the Luo family, all of them had complex and solemn faces, and they felt more and more that the reason why they were defeated at the hands of this group of people was really excusable, even if they looked at the entire empire, such elite troops were rare, they subconsciously maintained the distance between themselves and the other party, just because when they accidentally approached the other party within ten meters, they could even feel the cold air emanating from these black-armored soldiers, which made them shudder!
"A bunch of useless things!"
Looking at the shrunken soldiers under her command, Concubine Ling scolded angrily, but in this case, she didn't get mad, under the leadership of Ash and others, Jinglan also issued instructions to her, seeing this, she immediately waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to follow, protecting the archers in the team inside, and following behind Ash as the second echelon.
Concubine Ling walked in front of her, her eyes staring at the direction of Ash in front of her, and her face was indescribably solemn.
In fact, since she arrived in this clearing, she has been secretly observing Ash, in her conjecture, Ash should actually be an arrogant and violent image, but after just walking for an afternoon, she found that this person is unspeakably quiet, since he joined, he has been silent, not a word, for his several words and eyes provocations, also turned a blind eye, that temper is surprisingly good?
The current Concubine Ling has to admit that although this guy is her enemy, he really has an incredible charm, which can be reflected from the fierce and brave soldiers under him, what kind of person can bring out such a quality of elite soldiers single-handedly, and make them extremely loyal and in awe one by one?
Although Jinglan refused to reveal the identity of the other party to her, she could vaguely understand from Jinglan's previous words that she had a great possibility of knowing this person, and that person's age was not very big, at least, it was not much different from her Concubine Ling.
Concubine Ling racked her brains and couldn't think of who he would be, her current circle of friends was very small, and there were not a few boys at all, even in the past, most of the men she knew before she was divorced by the Luo Fen family were all gentlemen, and in the huge imperial capital, I had never heard of such a person.
Her cooperation with Jinglan is only temporary, she clearly understands that when she escapes, she will definitely avenge her subordinates, and if the other party has the power that the Ole family is difficult to resist, this revenge plan will have to be carefully considered, if it is for her will and cause huge trouble for the family, it is also what she does not want to see.
This made Concubine Ling's heart feel entangled, and what made her so entangled was not only this.
There was still a trace of doubt in her heart.
I don't know why, from under that pair of black armor, Concubine Ling seemed to see an extremely familiar shadow, and she had a trace of closeness to it more than once in her heart, especially when the other party was quietly looking up at the starry sky before, the softness in her heart trembled even more, which made her heart very puzzled, if it wasn't for the blood feud between the two sides, she even wanted to rush forward and ask the other party to take off his helmet and recognize his identity.
At this time, the whole team was headed by Ash, Concubine Ling was in the center, and behind the Jinglan Palace, adding up to nearly two thousand people, they had already walked out of the previous open space area and climbed a small hill, as soon as they arrived, Ash's vision suddenly opened up, and in the distance ahead, a piece of fire could already be faintly seen, and there was no doubt that it was the hiding place of Yinzhuo and others.
And at this moment, Ash suddenly pulled the reins and raised a palm.
Seeing his movements, the knight sword behind him immediately shouted a loud order, and the entire team immediately stopped, and the sound of neat footsteps came to an abrupt halt, raising a cloud of dust under their feet.
"Why did it stop?"
"Did you find anything?"
Seeing this, Mo Lin and Jinglan at the back of the team asked loudly at the same time.
Ash, on the other hand, frowned deeply.
According to what the soldiers of the Lan family said before, when they explored the location of Yinzhuo and others, the other party's men and horses also discovered their movements, and according to Jinglan's guess, when the soldiers of the Lan family were Yinzhuo and others during the day, the other party did not immediately send troops to attack, plus the other party clearly knew the existence of the Black Armor Army, and did not attack when the enemy was not evenly manned, and had to wait for the other party to gather the number before starting the battle, which means that Yinzhuo at this time must have guessed some situation from the gold digger camp outside the mountain range. Knowing that even if he broke through immediately, it would be difficult for him to get out safely, so the best choice for the other party at this time was to gather his own soldiers, stay in the hiding place, and confront them with the advantage of terrain.
After all, in the other party's opinion, the black armor army that was not with the soldiers of the Lan family during the day had already gone to annihilate Concubine Ling's side, and Concubine Ling and the others would naturally not be able to go with them, so that their total number would be less than seven hundred, and even, because of the battle with Concubine Ling, they might continue to attrition, and there was still a certain gap in the number of people on the two sides.
Originally, Ash also guessed like this.
Only now, he was keenly aware of something unusual.
I saw that on the road ahead, at some point, a piece of sharp wooden stakes had been pierced, and the sharp side was facing them, as if it was a simple defensive measure set up by Yinzhuo in a hurry, trying to slow them down as much as possible.
In addition, the ground next to those wooden stakes was also covered with patches of weeds, and Ash could see at a glance that the weeds there existed only to hide what was underneath, and what was even more ridiculous was that under one of the weeds, he also clearly saw a dark hole in the corner, as if the other party had dug a few traps for them, but they did not cover it up carelessly.
Of course, the night wind is very strong tonight, and the corners of those exposed traps may also be inadvertently blown away by the wind, and even so, those traps, if you don't pay attention to observation, are really not easy to find in such a dark day.
It's just that the focus of Ash's attention is not on those that seem to be clumsy and funny. He clearly saw that in the whole area near here, although there were also dense woods, there was not much grass on the ground, mostly dry land, but from under his feet, all the way to the end of the field of vision, it was full of weeds, he could not believe that in just a little more than an afternoon, he could have the ability to make such a large number of fortifications and at the same time dig so many deep pit traps, these weeds must have a purpose。
Ash rolled over and dismounted, reached out, grabbed a handful of weeds, and found that they were all hay used as fodder for the horses.
Rubbing the hay in his hand and crushing it in two, Ash's brow furrowed tightly, and then suddenly there was a hint of realization.
"Withdraw first!"
The next moment, I saw him shouting an order, and after being filtered by the helmet of Black Dragon Kai, his voice was very cold and hoarse, with a hint of undeniable taste.
When his soldiers heard this, they naturally began to carry out his orders without hesitation, and the knights in front turned their horses neatly, and the infantry in the rear immediately turned away.
"Why retreat?"
At this time, Concubine Ling and Jing Lan at the back of the team also rushed over, and the former asked in a deep voice as soon as he appeared, obviously a little dissatisfied in his tone.
Ash didn't give any answer to Concubine Ling's questioning, this woman had been looking at him very unkindly, which made him very uncomfortable, and naturally he didn't want to deal with it.
I saw that he didn't even look at Concubine Ling, turned over and walked straight to Concubine Ling after turning over his horse, and said, "Listen to me, retreat first, and talk about it after you go back!" ”
Hearing this, Jinglan, who was also about to ask Ash out loud, was also slightly stunned, but she didn't continue to insist on anything, and after a short hesitation, she nodded, and began to give orders loudly to the people in the rear.
"I'm asking you, why retreat!"
On the contrary, it was Concubine Ling, because of the hatred between her and Ash, and the deliberate ignorance of the other party at the moment, but suddenly became a nameless fire, only to see her shouting loudly, and then she couldn't help the anger in her heart, and wanted to step forward and pull Ash's arm.
Seeing this, Ash frowned hidden under the helmet, and still pulled out his horse and walked forward regardless of it, before the other party's palm touched him, the knight long sword that had been closely following him took the lead in blocking between the two of them, and then reached out and grabbed it, and threw Concubine Ling off the horse, and then he didn't care about her anymore, and immediately chased after Ash and left.
Suddenly attacked, Concubine Ling fell to the ground with an 'ah' sound, and when she raised her head again, the anger in her eyes was already gushing out uncontrollably!
It's just that when she got up and just put one hand on the saddle of the saddle, she suddenly found that her vision suddenly brightened a little.
The next moment, on the originally dim hillside, the surroundings suddenly became fiery red.
Concubine Ling subconsciously turned her head to look back, only to find that in the sky, several dazzling fire clouds were rapidly attacking her!
