Luzhou City, Luchuan County.

Suddenly, the gates of the city opened, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open in the middle of the night.

Several groups of cavalry burst out of the gates and disappeared into the night.

On the side of the pioneer battalion of the Cangji Cavalry, after removing the outermost reconnaissance line, although the casualties had completely disappeared, the overly quiet atmosphere coming from the dark night made the commander Pu Ran feel a little uneasy. This uneasiness came without warning, purely from his instincts as a veteran.

Driven by this uneasiness, Pu Ran sent a few scattered cavalrymen, wrapped the horse's hooves in felt cloth, sneaked into the darkness, and scattered in all directions, in case the army of Yunqi City had any abnormal movements.

Fortunately, most of the night passed, and there was no alarm, and it seemed that the Shi family was satisfied with the small advantage they had achieved so far, and they would not make any more moves tonight.

Just when Pu Ran was sleepy and began to doze off on the horse's back, a rapid sound of horses' hooves instantly woke him up.

"Pu Tou'er, there is a situation!" The person who came was one of the few clever and nimble scouts selected by Pu Ran before, responsible for investigating the situation in the north.

"What's wrong?

"The cavalry troops of Yunqi City have just left the city! From a position more than forty miles north of us, they have been heading east. ”

"To the east, what do they want to do? abandon the city and flee?" Pu Ran didn't react to the opponent's intentions for a while, after all, in his opinion, the Shi family's cavalry, which only had four or five thousand people, was just a lamb to be slaughtered under the siege of this 100,000 army, and it was already a great luck to be able to escape, "How many people are there?"

"The subordinates are far away, and they can't see very clearly, but listening to the sound of horses' hooves and the appearance of dust, it is estimated that there are three ...... About four or five thousand. ”

"There are only four or five thousand of them in total, so hurry up and report to the general, saying that the Shi family is ready to abandon the city and flee at night!"

When Da Xiyi heard the news from the scouts, he immediately ruled out the possibility that the Shi family was preparing to escape. If they want to run, before the army of the Daxi family besieged the city, they had countless opportunities to escape, why did they have to wait until now? Moreover, going east is deep into the hinterland of the Daxi family, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the route you should choose to escape.

"Their goal is the Yugang Army!" Da Xiyi thought of the heavy infantry following his ass, "If the Yugang Army is defeated, then there are only three of our cavalry left, and we will not be able to do anything about the five or six zhang high Luzhou City Wall, and the Shi family can have enough time to wait for reinforcements or make other plans! Send someone to inform the Benxiao Cavalry and the Absolute Shadow Cavalry, tell them that the Luzhou City is now air-defense, let them take the opportunity to enter the city, and our whole army will set off to pursue the cavalry of Yunqi City to the east!"

Although the Cangji cavalry, who had rested for most of the night, were woken up by the sound of horns much earlier than expected, they were still well-trained, and they quickly sorted out their blades and armor, and quickly put themselves into shape. Although they were surprised that they had gone in the direction they had come, the cavalrymen, who were accustomed to obeying orders, did not raise any objections.

Not long after the cavalry of Yunqi City passed, the hoof prints on the ground were still clearly visible, and following this hoof prints to pursue at full speed, Da Xiyi believed that he would soon be able to catch up with the cavalry in front. Even if they were able to catch the Yugang army by surprise, but under the front and rear attacks of the Cangji cavalry and the Yugang army, the end of this cavalry team of only four or five thousand people was already close at hand.

When watching the hoof prints under his feet gradually deflect southward and enter a valley, Da Xiyi's brows furrowed slightly. As far as he knew, the camp of the Yugang Army should be due east of him, and the direction in which the hoof prints were currently moving had obviously deviated.

Is it the cavalry of Yunqi City who have lost their way, or do they have other plans? Da Xiyi didn't think of an answer for a while, all he could do was to catch up with the opponent in front as soon as possible, under the crushing of absolute strength, no matter what kind of plan they had, they would not escape the fate of becoming the prey and stepping stone of Cangji's cavalry.

This valley, called the Valley of Wind Sound, is a long and narrow valley sandwiched between two east-west hills, with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery, and when the wind blows, you can hear the strange and beautiful sound of the wind in the valley, hence the name.

In this long and narrow valley, the formation of Cangji's cavalry became five or six horses in parallel, slender and serpentine, and 20,000 cavalry were lined up in a team several miles long. When the head of the team was about to leave the valley, the tail of the team had just entered the valley of wind sound.

Seeing a glimmer of light ahead, Da Xiyi knew that he was about to leave this valley, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he couldn't help but speed up. Although he believed that his arrival had definitely not been discovered by the other party, he didn't know why, this narrow valley gave him a sense of depression and insecurity, and made him feel a sense of urgency to leave.

At the same time as Da Xiyi accelerated, a crisp sound suddenly came from the bushes in front of him, followed by a dull buzzing sound, as if stabbing a hornet's nest. Da Xiyi looked up into the distance, and his heart instantly sank into the bottomless abyss. As a saint powerhouse, he could naturally clearly perceive that the source of that sound was not a hornet's nest, but countless short arrows!

The Storm Crossbow, the great killer of the Moon Swinging Dragoon, which had appeared many times in Shi Zhiyi's hands, finally revealed its sharp minions in this narrow valley.

Da Xiyi used the spear in his hand to shoot down all the short arrows that came to attack, but his subordinates did not have this ability. After the first sound of the machine sounded, the entire Wind Sound Valley seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and countless machine sounds and short arrows breaking through the air sounded all over the Wind Sound Valley for five or six miles at the same time.

Countless short arrows, shining with cold light in the night, shot into the bodies of the Cangji cavalry and the horses under their crotches without hindrance, bringing up a showy snowflake. Before the countless cavalry could figure out what was happening, they fell off the horses and died of anger. Some clever cavalrymen hid under the belly of their horses at the first time to avoid this wave of attacks, but the second wave of covering arrows that followed still mercilessly took away their lives and the lives of their mounts.

Although the number of cavalry of the Moonswinging Dragoon was only 5,000, thanks to the powerful lethality of the Storm Repeater in their hands and the excellent terrain of the Wind Sound Valley, their first round of attacks brought more than 14,000 casualties to the Cangji Cavalry. When the storm crossbow in everyone's hand was fired three times, the entire Cangji cavalry, only Da Xiyi was left with a light pole general.
