Chapter 7: The First Battle

When the sun was rising, Meng Li's men and horses had already begun to climb Shangqing Mountain.

Sweating profusely, Meng Li is still insisting on climbing, as a pampered prince, he usually learns the skills in the six arts of a gentleman, where has he been greatly trained.

"Your Highness, if you can't do it, just take a break." Xiao Ruo, who was dressed in a green robe and a scholar's crown, took out her handkerchief next to her and wiped the sweat on Meng Li's face, in fact, since she started to dismount after climbing the mountain, she couldn't walk for a long time, but in order to follow the team and follow Meng Li, she followed Meng Li's side tightly.

took his sleeve and dipped Xiao Ruo with sweat on his little head, and looked at him very moved, "Xiao Ruo, we are running for our lives." Hold on a little longer, according to the arrangement of the military advisor, and when we are about to descend the mountain, we will rest for an hour to dry the 'brothers' waiting outside, and then wait for noon, we will finish resting, and we will be in one fell swoop. Then the rest of the plan can be slowly unfolded. "Although I love the loyalty and hard work of this little Lori, hope is ahead, and I can't lose the opportunity to rest for a while at this time.

"Hmm~" Xiao Ruo, who gritted his teeth very firmly, still raised his legs with difficulty and continued to climb with Meng Li.

……

On the other side of Shangqing Mountain, in the plain at the foot of the mountain, in a small forest, there is a group of people and horses dressed in swarthy cloth, and people are silent. The silent woods are even more unusual.

"General, it's already past noon at this time, why haven't you seen the soldiers and horses of the Nine Emperor Princes come out of the mountain yet?" The adjutant general, who was really anxious, asked the person who was in charge of the operation this time.

"Yes, the third prince flying pigeon passed the book and said that when the nine princes were ugly today, they led the team out of the capital and went straight to Shangqing Mountain, it stands to reason that they knew that they were fleeing for their lives, and they were in a hurry, and they should have gone down the mountain at this moment. Why is it still missing? The general also frowned suspiciously, but it was absolutely impossible to say that the Nine Emperor Princes had made a detour, and they would have to cross this plain after going down the mountain. Otherwise, it would be a turn back the way they came, and that would be even more of a turtle caught in the middle of the day, and they should not have turned back with the consciousness they had when they left in the morning.

"Alas, wait a little longer, the order passed down by the third prince can only be robbed and killed here, and we will have an explanation for withdrawing if there is no movement after nightfall tonight." The very irritable general also selected 2,000 elite soldiers from receiving the summons, and 400 elite cavalry were ambushed here, waiting for more than three hours without eating or drinking, hiding here, if it weren't for the elite soldiers, they would have already revealed their traces in the general's opinion. Even if he can't bear it, let alone the soldiers below.

"General, General~" The adjutant general, who had gone to observe the situation, suddenly ran back and called out to the general.

"Huh? Is it coming? The general was still lazily leaning against a crooked-necked tree, without the slightest intention of moving.

"Yes, General Takami, you see, those convoys. It should be the material of the Nine Emperor Princes. The general said, pointing to the chaotic and irregular procession that had just come out of the woods.

"Damn, I'm almost dead. The brothers moved their muscles and prepared for action. A general who turned over and saw the convoy pointed by the lieutenant shouted in a low voice to the team.

……

"Hehe, I don't know if these people are self-righteous or have declared war on us. Don't they know that the birds in the woods don't nest at all? Meng Li, who was hiding at the foot of the mountain before he came out of the mountain, said to Xu Shu next to him. As long as this bit of military common sense is known by an individual, is it possible that the military common sense of this continent has lagged behind to such a point?

"Hehe, Shu still looks down on them, I knew that this was the case, we didn't have to rest for an hour at all, half an hour is enough." Xu Shu, who was very confident, said to Meng Li, believe in Meng Li, believe in Chen Qingzhi, and believe in himself. So he was convinced that he couldn't lose!

"Ziyun, are you ready?" Turning his head to Chen Qingzhi, who was standing heroically on the other side, he asked.

"My lord, 100 war horses are already enough, and the 500 horses I selected have been raised to the peak. However, it is a problem that I have not seen blood, but it can be used after this battle. Chen Qingzhi, who was very dissatisfied with the soldiers, was also a little helpless at this time, after all, no matter how powerful he was, he didn't have an invincible cavalry to fight on the battlefield. He's not a lone heroic general.

Alas, Yuan Zhi, when can you be kind to me, just a little!

"Yin San, we have to stand in the back, it's convenient to run for a while." A shrunken head and head of the Yin family guard said to the same bean-eyed mouse Hu guard next to him at this time, because of the lack of ability to be sent out to 'attract monsters', they were very afraid at this time that the enemy people didn't look at this cart of silver grain and grass and came straight to them. That would be 'sending' rather than 'selling'.

The men and horses who were lying in ambush in the woods were living like years at the moment, waiting for these convoys to slowly grind over little by little.

"Damn, this Nine Emperors doesn't seem to have much talent. How fast can your men march like this? This is the habit of going out to play, I don't know if the speed of escaping all the way to the grave is too slow! He spat hatefully, and the general who was foaming at the ground at this time, if he hadn't seen a figure similar to the Nine Emperor Princes, he would have rushed forward and used the big blade in his hand to educate them fiercely, what is playing, and what is running for their lives!

"General, there's a horseman coming out!" I saw an exclamation from the adjutant general, and the general, who had already been unable to hold back, didn't even bother to confirm it, and immediately gave the order.

"Brothers, kill!"

In the general's opinion, even if the Nine Emperors hid in the mountains, it was a big deal to send hundreds of soldiers here for a few days, and he didn't want to slow down for a moment now.

The general, who was a good horseman, ran wildly with his big blade, eager to fill his weapon with blood, which had never been stained since the border was replaced, with the smell of blood again. People who often kill people have a disease and love blood, and this general is like that.

"Ah~, there are bandits robbing the road and running away."

"Ah~, spare your life, spare your life, we are the guards of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and all the money and food of the heroes are here. Heroes ......"

"Eh~" Before the words were broken, he saw that his body was still kneeling in place, but there was nothing on his neck.

can run all the way to the woods behind him, and run all the way at the speed of the trapeze Liu Xiang, Bolt and others. All of them who couldn't run fell to their knees and begged for mercy loudly.

"Haha. Cool, you all deserve to die, haha. "The murderous general chased the fleeing 'routers' all the way, and the guards who were prostrating on both sides of the road and begging to live within the range of his broadsword all drank under the blood-stained broadsword.

"General, general, this car is full of silver, a lot of silver." The general, who still wanted to continue the pursuit, regained his consciousness under the shouts of the adjutant general Yinzi and walked towards the car where the adjutant general was.

"Huh~, are these cars all there?" The general who couldn't believe it stared at the cart full of silver with red eyes at this time.

"Yes, General, there's a cart of gold here!" The lieutenant, who was unpacking the box on the other side, also shouted at the general.

"Lao Tzu, for the sake of wealth is not benevolent, Lao Tzu is at the border pass, even if he is a general, he can't earn this car in his life! The bunnies are all fat and oily. "It is a consistent rule on the Blue Continent to emphasize literature and light military force, and the generals at the border pass all rely on the soldiers to work hard, but they don't dare to deduct a little food, so they are the hardest and earn the least. All I hope for is a big victory to plunder the enemy army and enrich myself.

The soldiers, who were hurrying to pack up what they thought were their possessions, were nowhere to be seen, and the faint figures flickered in the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at these soldiers who thought they were 'sneaking', Chen Qingzhi wanted to have a feeling of scolding his mother at this time, and he was incapable of exhausting the three armies. In his opinion, now the three armies are incompetent and angry, but fortunately, the people and horses on the opposite side are all cleaning up when they see the money, and they have not been discovered early.

"Kill~" Chen Qingzhi, who shouted loudly, single-handedly took the lead and rushed out when he saw the general.

"Kill~" followed by countless loud shouts of killing words throughout the plain. Our strength is not good, and the momentum is enough, isn't it! It's up to General Chen to capture the flag.

The soldiers who were still carrying the silver in their arms and the generals who were shouting the seals to seal the boxes were dumbfounded. The soldiers carried in their arms the silver that they could never earn in their lifetime, and they did not stop ordering and fled desperately.

"Damn~" The general who saw a white-robed and plain-faced young general rushing towards him was very angry at the moment, in his opinion, this little sissy was provoking him. How can I bear it, I stepped on the horse and rushed over. The cavalry also attacked in an instant, only hearing the sound of 'dangdang' and the two bursts of weapons touching, and then a sudden 'forehead' sound withdrew in the ears and eyes of the soldiers who had not yet fled. In the eyes of the soldiers, their bloodthirsty general fell in the moment when the two horses intertwined.

"Run!" Whether it is a lieutenant, a lieutenant, or a soldier, they all know the reality of their general, but if they can't go under the hands of this white-robed young general for a round, then the strength of this white-robed young general is not something they can guess.

With a shout, a sound of begging for mercy, Xu Shu accompanied Meng Li out of the mountains and forests. Both of them were very excited to see this resounding first battle, after all, this was their debut, and the easy victory in the first battle also alleviated their fear of the world a little.

"Report~, lord, a total of 23 people were lost in this battle and more than 100 people were wounded. Annihilated more than 200 enemy troops, captured more than 2,000 people, and more than 200 horses. The rest let them run. The head of the enemy general is here! Chen Qingzhi, who counted the battle situation, was very satisfied with Meng Lihui's report. In his opinion, it was a big victory for such a weak soldier to achieve such a result.

"Well, the military advisor will continue to command them." Meng Li, who was a little far away from the bloody head, turned his head sideways and said to Xu Shu.

"Well, then, according to the plan, Yin Wu led 100 guards to escort these soldiers, and so on tonight directly to Yusang City to station, so that they do not know the truth and dare not move at will, this is 3,000 taels of silver, and in the early morning of tomorrow, you will divide and make a living." 'Abandonment' is also a necessary skill for a strategist, and the good of abandonment can even be small and big, and the weak can defeat the strong.

"Oh~" After receiving the silver two, the 100 people escorted the captives and slowly approached Yusang City with a big banner.

"So, let's move on. Next, let's get through the water. General Ziyun was asked to lead the cavalry to collect ships and cross the river first, stabilize the camp, and wait for the follow-up. ”

"喏~"

Alas, looking at Chen Qingzhi, who was working as hard as an old scalper, Meng Li turned his head and looked at Xu Shu who was a little inexplicable, can you just be kind to me again?
