Chapter 972: Sworn to follow

"But wherever a rest is ordered, I will carefully inspect it within a radius of tens of miles."

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "Remember, any small flaw could lead to a surprise attack and the collapse of the entire army.

So many brothers have come out together to sell their lives and put their lives in our hands, and it is natural that they should be careful and careful."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to point to the left and right upper veins, and continued, "We can die on the battlefield, but we must not die under the trap."

After listening, the surrounding soldiers showed excitement on their expressions.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Soon, as night approached, the army lit torches and continued to walk along the mountain path.

The mountains are already rugged, and it is very dangerous to walk at night, and the targets are also very large.

You must know that the light of the fire of thousands of people gathered together, even if it is dozens of miles away, can be seen clearly, and the sky-high fire will be like a giant python, letting the enemy know where they are at once.

But there is no way to do this, Chencang Road is indeed steep, and the mountains are very high in some places, which will cover the light of the moon, and it is even more dangerous to advance in the dark.

However, if you don't advance in the dark, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the ancient road city tomorrow.

Marching and fighting is a race against time.

Stop-and-go.

Stop-and-go.

The group finally stayed up until the middle of the night, and the people were sleepy.

At this time, one of his cronies wiped the hot sweat from his face and said, "General, I'm so tired, let the brothers rest for a while, right?" The road monument just now shows the location, and after walking for several hours, it is surmised that we have arrived near Dadao Mountain.

The lowly duty has surveyed the terrain, and the road ahead is the steepest, more steep than the road we have encountered during the day."

"Dadao Mountain?" White eyebrows twisted.

"Yes! It is said that there was no road over there, but it was opened up when the Han army was marching, so they casually named it Dadao Mountain, and the terrain was very steep."

"Send a thousand men on guard, rest the rest, and march at full speed after daybreak."

"Yes!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they could rest.

The cronies immediately grabbed the battle flag, waved the mission a few times, and the soldiers who were still marching stopped.

At this time, the swordsman moved again, investigating whether there was an ambush.

It was already very dark and dark, and the torches were extinguished a lot because of the rest.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qi personally waved the military flag and ordered the Bai family army to disperse and form a phalanx to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After that, he climbed to a high place and estimated the current hour from the height of the moon, about three watches.

There are still two hours left on the fifth watch, and the sky will also be bright, and when the army is on the march, safety will be guaranteed.

The most important thing is that soldiers are also human beings and need to rest, if they go to the ancient road overnight and encounter an ambush on the road, the Bai family army is so tired that it is difficult to win.

The words are divided into two ends.

On the other side, Zhao Youning, the gatekeeper of the ancient road, adopted Liu Xin's suggestion and led an army of 40,000 to Dadao Mountain.

When they came, it was dark, and it was the best time to ambush.

Bai Qi does not know this at present.

After the Han army set up an ambush, Zhao Youning looked around and frowned.

If it weren't winter, you just need to prepare, dry objects, soak them in oil, and lure them in, and you can kill them without leaving a piece of armor.

Unfortunately, it's snowy winter, so this plan is not feasible.

It was very late at night, Zhao Youning's eyes were wide, like a tiger waiting to be hunted, staring closely ahead, no matter how tired he was, he didn't rest, just looked straight ahead.

The other little commanders saw that he was so nervous, and they were not embarrassed to rest, and they checked the rolling stones and arrows one by one to see if they were fully prepared and properly placed.

After the inspection, it was close to the third watch, and everyone was nervous for a day, and finally broke down a little and yawned unconsciously.

Zhao Youning became more and more anxious in his heart, it's all at this point, why haven't he come over yet, should it be a becoming

Lie.

I don't know what happened to the people who guarded the beacon tower to light the signal, according to common sense, they should be able to run away, so why don't they come back to the ancient road to report?

If you can come back, ask them how they are doing.

Zhao Youning muttered in his heart, deciding that after the big victory, he would add one more military order.

In the future, no matter who lights the beacon, as long as he comes back immediately to make a report, he will be promoted to one level and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.

As long as this rule is added, the soldiers guarding the beacon tower will not light the beacon and run away on their own.

When he was approaching the fourth watch, Zhao Youning became more and more suspicious in his heart.

I was wondering if Bai Qi would have come from Chen Cangdao? Or maybe it was not Bai Qi who led the troops, but the legendary Great Immortal of the Qin Kingdom, what should I do if he left?

His eyes were condensed in front of him, his heart was empty, and he even regretted a little that he should have insisted on letting Liu Xin lead the troops over.

That sick man, when he became the goalkeeper, always felt that he was not convinced, this time it must be deliberate, I want to see myself planted here.

He wanted to send someone back to the ancient road several times to have a look, but he didn't say anything. He understood a truth, if Liu Xin deliberately set up a bureau for him this time, wanting to deceive them out, and then he made small moves in the ancient road city, he would be convinced.

In this way, the minutes and seconds passed, and there was still no movement ahead.

Zhao Youning finally couldn't help it.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of running ahead.

His pupils shrank and he ran on the mountain road? The white Bai Jiajun?

Bai Jiajun? His lips turned white.

"General, I'm afraid it's the Bai family army here, what should I do?" The cronies were nervous.

Zhao Youning glared at him angrily, "What's the hurry? There are no torches in our ambush, so what if they come, can they find us here?"

The people around them breathed a sigh of relief, but the two words Bai Qi were like a mountain pressing on their chests, and their hearts were worried, and their faces changed and changed.

"Everyone is in order, each performing their duties, as long as they see the signal sent by General Ben's side, they will fire ten thousand arrows together, and don't give the Bai family army any chance to rush up."

"Yes." The crowd deliberately lowered their voices.

Zhao Youning said again: "By my side, I will treat them as brothers. After this meritorious service, this general will be greatly rewarded."

Hearing this, all the men were enthusiastic.

Yes, now is the perfect time to make meritorious contributions.

"I am willing to follow the general to the death."

Little by little, morale gathered.

Zhao Youning is very good at winning people's hearts, clenching his fists and bending over at a kind of person, they are very moved to see it, and they retreat and get ready.

But time passed again.

He found himself in the middle of the scheme.

Because Bai Qi's side didn't plan to march overnight at all, they stopped, and divided all the teams into dozens of phalanxes and waited for them.

That is, he brought 40,000 people, white belt?
