Chapter 65: Attack
The people were frightened, and they urged the army to retreat. At this moment, even Ji Gengjin lost his fighting spirit and the power to argue. In desperation, Bo Mi had no choice but to order him to go down and send an army to investigate the whereabouts of the 30,000 swordsmen. The rest of the people hurriedly put away the camp, packed up, and retreated to the territory of Kunwu Kingdom in the Western Regions.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound outside the valley, mixed with the roar of the rolling spirit beast and the shouts of people. Everyone was in a big heart, and hurriedly sent someone out to investigate. After a while, the spies came back to report that it was the return of the swordsman legion led by the Great Marquis.
Feng Yi and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the valley mouth and went out to greet them, but as soon as everyone went out, there was already a front team flying to report the news, and the first one was panting, and saw Bo Mi bowing down and bowing: "Lord, we are incompetent, and when we retreated, we were attacked by the army of the Han country, and more than 5,000 brothers died." The rest of the army was stationed at the foot of the mountain to fight against the Han army. As soon as the eldest marquis left, the brothers had no one to command, and they were already behind. Please evacuate quickly!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they actually encountered a sneak attack and an ambush?
The main forces of the Han Kingdom are all concentrated in the area of Shanglinyuan and Luoshui. The eldest marquis led his troops to Diqiu, and according to the spies, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 guards in the city, although they were all pro-troops under the command of Yu Hanxun, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. But they guarded the imperial city and were not allowed to leave without permission. Not to mention the fact that the actions of the Grand Marquis were extremely secretive, how could the enemy get the news in advance and set up an ambush?
The faces of Bo Mi and the others changed in unison, and an ominous premonition shrouded over everyone's heads. There are too many unbelievable things encountered in this march, and each one is extremely bizarre.
Ji Wuyi and the others: "Young master, the enemy is menacing, and the number is unknown. Without further ado, we have to hurry back and retreat. ”
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard Ji Gengjin roar angrily: "Shut up." "Kunwu has cultivated swordsmanship throughout the country, and it is difficult to find an opponent in the great wilderness of single strength. Since the Kunwu swordsman cultivated into the sword array, he has been invincible and invincible. Although they are few in number, they are fearsome in every battle. This time, more than 5,000 people were lost at once, which was an unprecedented loss.
As the commander of Kunwu, Ji Gengjin has never suffered such a big defeat, and he said angrily for a while: "My Kunwu country is a warrior, and I have never been weak and timid to retreat. Now that the enemy has hit us in the face, we are even thinking about escaping? From now on, how can I Kunwu swordsmen gain a foothold in the Western Regions and the Great Wilderness?"
Ji Wuyi and the others looked displeased, and said: "I am outnumbered by the enemy, why should the second marquis be angry for a while?"
Ji Wei also said: "Yes, keep the green mountains here, and I'm not afraid of no firewood." The Great Marquis has been defeated, what can we do?"
Ji Gengjin said angrily: "The eldest brother was killed by a demon, and I was about to avenge him." He suddenly drew his Red Sky Sword, slashed through the air with a burst of fire, and slammed into a boulder next to him. The boulder was agitated by the sword qi, cracked apart, turned into a powder, and fluttered in the wind. When everyone saw this, they were shocked, and they heard Ji Gengjin say: "Who dares to say retreat, there is such a stone!"
Feng Yi secretly said that it was not good, the second marquis had lost his cool because of the situation of the eldest marquis and when he heard the news of the defeat. Whether it is a counterattack or a retreat, it is necessary to rely on the strength of Dantong and other countries to make a stalemate with several lords, which is indeed not the best policy.
Suddenly, Bo Mi said: "Gengjin, you are so bold, you are disrespectful to the lords of the country." ”
Ji Gengjin's parents died in the war with the Han Kingdom in his early years, and he was raised by Bo Mi since he was a child, and he respected him very much, just like his biological father. Hearing this moment, his arrogance disappeared suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down and said: "I don't mean to offend the lords, but if I want to withdraw my troops and be a turtle with a shrunken head, I can't." If you are not satisfied with me, then please give me 10,000 swordsmen, and I will fight the traitors of the cold country. ”
Bo Mi said angrily: "Presumptuous, the Kunwu people live deep in the Western Regions, and they have been in obscurity for decades to have today's situation. We are burdened with the heavy task of reviving the Great Xia clan, as the second marquis of Kunwu, how can you let the soldiers under your command die in vain because of your own selfish anger?"
Ji Gengjin was shocked, his face was like ashes, and he couldn't speak.
Feng Yi knew in his heart that Bo Mi's words were clearly scolding Ji Gengjin, but he was actually appeasing the lords. After decades of division, the countries of Great Xia have the current situation, and they must not be resentful because of this matter. And at this moment, the only one who can convince the lords of the country is himself, the young master of Great Xia.
He thought for a while, and then said, "Everyone, don't be impatient, the most important thing at this moment is to find out the number of enemies and act again. ”
When Ji Wuyi and the others heard that the young master didn't want to retreat, they were shocked and persuaded: "But the young master, the defeat is decided, what's the point of persevering?"
Feng Yi recalled the scriptures of mountains and seas in his mind, and for a moment he knew the terrain of Yanmen Mountain well, and said slowly: "We are now stationed in a deep valley, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To the south is an eight-hundred-mile swamp, which can only be crossed by the most skilled flying birds. Although there are flying cavalry in the cold country, it is impossible to pass through the swamp. The mountains to the north are hundreds of zhang higher than the surrounding terrain, and it is even more impossible to march. The peaks of this canyon are steep, running from east to west, and our tens of thousands of troops are guarding here, attacking and retreating. ”
When the lords of the country heard this, they were greatly impressed, and they all thought in their hearts: "The young master has just arrived, how can he be so familiar with the terrain here?"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "Even if we retreat today, we will have a decisive battle with the Han Kingdom one day." It's better to take the opportunity to fight with these demons and find out their details, so as to add a few chances of winning in the future. ”
After hearing this, Bo Mi and the others nodded again and again. He took the lead in bowing down and said, "I'll wait to hear the young master's instructions." ”
Feng Yi looked around, met the gaze of Shang Ji Gengjin, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, the second marquis, General Xia Geng, and General Zhu Hui will take five thousand swordsmen out of the valley to meet the army of the eldest marquis." In addition, the two lords of Ji Wuyi and Ji Wu each led 5,000 to guard the southeast and southwest directions of the valley to prevent the Han army from sneaking up. The lord of the country asked the town defenders to give orders. ”
When everyone heard this, they received their orders in unison. Seeing that the young master had made up his mind, Ji Wuyi and the others had no choice but to take the order and leave. For a while, the jingle of swords, guns, swords, and halberds sounded in the huge valley, and all the swordsmen, under the leadership of the second marquis and others, rushed out of the valley like a rainbow with momentum.
In an instant, the valley that had been in full shape just now, and the valley that was rubbing shoulders became empty in an instant, and the noise outside the valley gradually faded away. The rest of the army, under the command of the generals, guarded every pass, and was ready for battle, and nothing was lost.
Feng Yi was indignant in his heart, and suddenly remembered the masters and overwhelming army of the Han Country, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong. He bowed down and bowed to Bo Mi and said, "Lord of the country, I don't know if what I did was right?"
Bo Mi sighed: "It doesn't matter whether the young master's move is right or wrong. Now Great Xia is in a dilemma, if you advance, you may be wiped out, and if you retreat, your morale will be completely lost, and it will make the countries of the Great Wilderness even more afraid of the cold country. Hey, such a dilemma is really difficult for the Lord. ”
Feng Yi was silent for a moment, and said: "I don't know what the situation is when the second marquis is here? he is impulsive, and because of the matter of the eldest marquis, he must be filled with righteous indignation." I'm afraid he's fallen into the enemy's trap and will have to come to his aid. ”
Bo Mi nodded, and listened to Feng Yi again: "Lord of the country, please lead the remaining soldiers, pack up the heavy grain and grass, and be ready to evacuate at any time." ”
Hearing this, Bo Mi said in surprise: "Has the young master already made plans to retreat?"
Feng Yi couldn't help but tell what Shanglin Yuan and Yunmeng Daze had seen and heard, and Bo Mi was shocked when he heard it, and said: "I didn't expect that Yu Hanxun had actually practiced in the East China Sea Immortal Mountain, and there were even more masters under his command to help! ”
Feng Yi and Bo Mi discussed for a while, and when everything was in order, he flew up on the wind, quickly flew out of the valley, and rushed in a northeast direction. As soon as I got out of the valley and crossed the two high mountains, I heard the sound of fighting getting louder and louder, and the roar of artillery fire, mixed with the deafening sound of war drums, which made people feel terrified when they heard it.
He stood on the top of the mountain and looked from afar, and saw the army sweeping everything on the plain at the foot of the mountain, the beasts galloping, and the banners of hunting and flying flashed with the four big characters of wind, forest, fire, and mountain. Feng Yi was taken aback, the leader was wearing a black cloak and flying in mid-air, who was it not General Feng?
The remaining three are the other three of the four generals of the Han Kingdom who are in the Great Wilderness?
The four people of wind, forest, fire and mountain are the cronies of Yu Hanxun, who made great achievements in the process of conquering the Great Wilderness and dominating the world in the cold country, and are the first-class famous generals today. Since Yu Hanxun ascended to the position of the Son of Heaven in the Great Wilderness, the four of them were sent to the border to guard the territory, but they didn't expect to appear here at the same time today?
Feng Yi was shocked in his heart: "Yu Hanxun and almost all the nobles of the Han Kingdom have gone to the Son of Heaven Festival, why did so many troops suddenly appear from Diqiu? Could it be that they had expected that the Grand Marquis would go to attack him?" Thinking of this, he felt cold all over his body, and vaguely felt that this time he seemed to have fallen into a huge trap.
When he was worried, he suddenly saw Ji Gengjin rushing forward, and said angrily: "Demons of the Cold Country, come and die." His heart was furious, the Chixiao Sword in his hand was even more flameful, the sword spirit swept over, and dozens of soldiers from the Cold Country flew high, covered in flames, and fell back like a meteor fireball, and the enemy screamed again and again, and instantly retreated.
Seeing that the commander was so brave, the swordsmen under his command shouted in unison: "Second Marquis, Second Marquis!" The army also raised their swords and rushed forward. But seeing the cold light flickering, the sword blade was like the moon, and the sword spirits of tens of thousands of people fused together, turning into a raging wave of qi that was hundreds of feet high, turning the people of the Han army on their backs.
Feng Yi saw that his momentum was like a rainbow, but he didn't have half a joy in his heart, but when he saw the four generals of Fenglin Volcano lined up in front, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the four armies under their command were in a neat formation, and they did not move in the face of sword light, and they knew at first sight that they were the elite of a hundred battles.
