The barracks in flames, except for a few soldiers fleeing in panic at the beginning, is now eerily calm, even if the soldiers are just sleeping, such a big fire, such a big movement, they should wake up.

Even...... The soldiers in front of the tent were on fire, but they still stood straight, motionless, like wood.

Jia's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly, "I've been tricked! Retreat!"

"Give the order to go down and the whole army retreat!"

The soldiers around Jia Yi ran and shouted, "Pass the general's order, retreat!"

"Pass the general's order, retreat!"

……

The sound of retreat was drowned out by the high-pitched shouts of the dragon guards, who rushed down the mountain with bloodthirsty excitement in their eyes, like a wild beast seeing a fat prey to be slaughtered.

Shaped like lightning, he flew to the bottom of the valley, and he roared, "Hit the plan, retreat!" "Retreat!"

At the bottom of the valley, the tents, the grass and trees were burning, crackling, and the smoke was billowing and the smell of pine was mixed with a strong smell of kerosene—not the concentration of kerosene on their arrows, which was sprinkled with kerosene and ignited when it caught fire.

Ghostface not only expected that they would sneak around the mountains from the rear, but even expected them to attack with fire.

A Yi was annoyed in his heart, and he still underestimated the cunning of the ghost-faced general. He should be waiting to intercept and kill the ghost-faced general in the middle of the way!

Suddenly, some of the dragon guards who were running in the valley fell to the ground suddenly, and some of them staggered and floated......

The color of the first side changes suddenly, and the smoke is poisonous!

He covered his mouth and nose with a face towel, grabbed one soldier after another and roared, "Retreat!" "Cover your mouth and nose and retreat!"

……

It's late.

It's all late.

The more people who fell, the more they came.

Arrows flew down like a rain of locusts from the opposite mountainside, and they had nowhere to hide, like lambs to the slaughter.

It turned out that they were the prey.

I'm afraid that the situation of the other two soldiers and horses is not optimistic......

Jia Yi swung his sword vigorously, parrying the rain of arrows, and in a trance watched a ghost-faced and fanged black shadow pounce on him with a sword.

His body was sluggish, and he no longer had the ability to dodge this sword with a fierce sword.

The sharp blade of the sword pierced into his chest, and he heard the man raise his arms and shout, "Your leader has been killed, if you will surrender, this general will spare you from death!"

"Disarm and surrender, spare you from dying!" "Disarm and surrender, spare you from dying!"

The shouts of the mountains and the tsunami were suppressed from the opposite mountain.

A held the sword on his chest tightly with both hands, unaware that the blade had cut through his palm, staring at the man's mask, "Who are you?"

Who the hell could have such a powerful art of war and lay such a barrier in front of him.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou, there are only a few generals who are good at using the art of war, such as Han Jun, the Duke of Dingguo.

Han Jun stared at the cold star, stared at Jia Yi coldly condescendingly, and said coldly, "It turned out to be you."

Twenty years ago, his lieutenant general, Tian Huai.

Tian Huai's father was a fierce general under the command of Lao Dingguo, and later died on the battlefield. The young Tian Huai did not lose to his father, was wise and brave, made many military exploits, and later became his deputy general.

At the end of the Great War of Exterminating Chu, Tian Huai shot a cold arrow behind him, if it weren't for his quick reaction and avoiding the vital point, the poisonous arrow was afraid that it would hit him in the back of the heart.

If it weren't for a life-saving pill given to him by Aman, he was afraid that he would die of poison on the spot.

After Tian Huai released the arrow, he thought that he would definitely die, so he took advantage of the chaos to hide in the vast soldiers and horses, and never appeared again.

Over the years, he has been investigating the whereabouts of Tian Huai, a traitor, and never thought that he would meet here.

His son-in-law really gave him a good opportunity to relieve the evil spirit in his chest!

As soon as Jia heard that familiar voice, although his body was foggy and his mind was confused, he still couldn't help but feel a shock!

His lips trembled, and he pointed at Han Jun and lost his voice

"You...... You are ......."

"Yes."

Han Jun sneered, "Tian Huai, when you go underground, let's see how you face the questioning of the ancestors of the Tian family."

Han Jun's wrist moved, and the heavy and sharp sword was sent forward, spun around and jerked back, and Jia spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood splattered on his chest.

The tall body fell to the ground with a bang.

Jia Yi murmured vaguely, "The last general is the ...... of the loyal monarch."

In the Yanling Valley, scorched wood, scorched earth, and broken sword remnants.

The soldiers in armor disposed of the corpse of the dragon guard, and some dragon guards who knew the times and were greedy for life and afraid of death, had surrendered. They were bound and strong, and with the poison that was softening their bones, they were not afraid that they would escape.

Han Jun sheathed his sword and strode out of the valley.

The son-in-law said that he was going to kill him happily today.

So he's going to be busy.

In the wilderness, guarding the fourth road on the periphery of Yanling, the soldiers cheered and cheered when they saw the skyrocketing fire and billowing smoke of Yanling.

The sneak attack has been successful!

Next, they will stay here, waiting to intercept and kill the remnants of the Ghost-faced General!

Sure enough.

They soon heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like thunder.

Is there such momentum in the army of the defeated army?

The dragon guards lined up and waited, but when they saw the black pressure of the soldiers and horses in the morning light on the opposite side, sweeping like a raging wave, they were immediately shocked!

The situation is not right!

So the fires and the sounds of fighting in the valley...... The dragon guards suddenly realized that maybe the side that was killed was not the ghost face general, but the dragon guard!

Their hearts were shaken, and when they were faced with the overwhelming array of soldiers and horses from all directions, their original firm belief was shaken.

When the morale of the dragon guard was low, the black soldiers and horses spread all over the land in an instant, quickly gathered into a formation, and inserted into the dragon guard formation like sharp knives.

The two sabers met and a fierce fight began.

In the wilderness in the morning light, the sound of killing shook the sky, and blood stained the eastern horizon red.

General Ghostface's soldiers and horses have been fighting against the powerful Xiliang soldiers in the northwest frontier all the year round, and they have rich combat experience, and they are handy in changing various formations and cooperating with each other, and they are very good at killing.

As for the dragon guards on the other side, although they are all strong in martial arts, because they want to hide their whereabouts, they mostly act separately on weekdays, lack of training experience, and they can't talk about cooperation with each other. In the face of equally strong soldiers and horses, this drawback of Long Wei was revealed.

General Ghostface already has more soldiers and horses than them, and the coordination of the formation has twice the effect with half the effort, and Long Wei is almost out of a state of being killed.

Within two hours, Longwei 10,000 iron horsemen died and descended.

Han Jun wore a ghost mask on his face, standing in the wilderness with his hands in his hands, and his chest was stirring with indescribable pleasure.

The battle was fought beautifully (and killed with pleasure).

They only had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and their losses were only hundreds, and they defeated the fierce 50,000 dragon guards in an instant.

Winning a battle is not a skill, winning a battle with the least casualties is the ability.

His son-in-law has some skills.

40,000 soldiers and horses, stunned Zhao Chengyuan to make the illusion of 60,000 soldiers and horses, not only deceived the Liangchuan camp, the Beijing suburbs camp and Emperor Qingming, but also let Emperor Qingming send almost all his dragon guards.

These dragon guards were scattered around the palace, and it was not good to destroy them at the same time. Wouldn't it be easier to lure them out of the capital and into the mountains?

Thinking of the poison that had made a great contribution in the valley, Han Jun couldn't help frowning. When he fought with Nanchu more than 20 years ago, he suffered a lot from this poison.

It is worthy of the blood of the Southern Chu people in his body, and Zhao Chengyuan is the same as his grandfather!

Han Qing, who was dressed in armor, walked up to Dingguo Gong and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Guo, the number of soldiers and horses doesn't seem to be right, the 10,000 ...... that came out was missing."

Han Jun looked in the direction of the capital and did not make a sound.

He also found out when he came to Yanling that his son-in-law had been

Arrangements were made in the capital. Hmph, even he's hiding it.

Han Qing saw the grievances in Grandpa Guo's eyes.

"Grandpa Guo, what are we going to do next?"

The dissatisfaction in Han Jun's heart suddenly disappeared, and he said, "Naturally, wherever there is a war, you will go."

The son-in-law said that he was going to let him kill him.

--

Emperor Qingming waited all night in the imperial study, waiting for news from ahead.

Waiting until dawn, one of Fang's guards stumbled back, his face ashen and his steps staggering.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the person knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty...... Long Wei ...... Defeated!"

Emperor Qingming's face turned grim, and he stepped forward and grabbed the placket of the secret guard, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" Who lost?!"

He didn't believe that 50,000 dragon guards would be defeated.

They are not facing head-on, they are outwitting, how can they be defeated!

Under the powerful power of Emperor Qingming, the dark guard could barely breathe, and he tried to stabilize his mind, "The valley is full of poisonous smoke, and I have been tricked!"

He has been following Jia Yi's side, so he knew the plan for the first time, did not rush down the valley, and escaped by luck.

Those soldiers and horses were fierce and unlucky, and he did not dare to stay in the mountains for a long time. He quietly evaded the search of the opponent's soldiers and horses, escaped from Yanling, and fled back to the capital under the cover of night.

As for how many Long Wei died and how much he lived, where did he still have his life waiting to be counted.

On the way back to Beijing, he found that the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside the mountain were undergoing a tragic encirclement and suppression.

In the end, he didn't know.

He saw a dragon guard running away, but the direction of escape was not the capital. Long Wei was so vulnerable in front of the ghost-faced general.

Not only were they defeated, but they also collapsed their faith, and they no longer believed that they still had a chance to defeat the Ghost-Faced General.

"Don't know?"

Emperor Qingming's face was hideous, and his eyes were about to split, "I have raised you for more than ten years, and the first time I used you, the whole army was wiped out!" You tell me I don't know!"

He threw the man to the ground and stared at him viciously, "What do you think I want you to do?"

The Dark Guard's face was terrified, and before he could straighten up, a sharp sword stabbed him in the chest.

He looked down in disbelief at the dragon sword on his chest, where blood splattered and was blinding red.

He followed the emperor for more than ten years...... It turned out that those dragon guards fled quietly, and it was not the ghost-faced general who was afraid, but the emperor!

He was loyal, risked death to come back to report the news, and the emperor rewarded him with this sword.

The dragon sword was suddenly pulled away, and the blood in the dark guard's chest gushed out, completely taking away his vitality.

Emperor Qingming roared angrily, "Someone!"

Wu Jian and the two guards of the Royal Forest Army outside the door entered the door, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, but they didn't dare to show a trace of abnormality.

Wu Jian waved his hand, "Carry it away."

The guard lowered his head and carried the secret guard out of the Qianqing Palace.

Wu Jian stayed, found a basin and a cloth towel, and scrubbed the blood-stained ground over and over again.

Basin after basin of blood was poured out, and it took a long time to clean up the blood.

After that, Wu Jian stood aside silently, holding his breath, lest he anger the emperor. He didn't dare to expect the emperor to care about him since he was a child.

There are many people around the emperor who have been in love from childhood to adulthood, and they didn't end well.

Emperor Qingming dragged the blood-dripping sword and sat on the dragon chair dejectedly, still unable to believe that the 50,000 dragon guards were gone.

Who is the Ghost-faced General? I can't grow three heads and six arms!

He and Jia Yi were already very careful, why did they still fall into his ambush! Later, he sent 10,000 soldiers and horses over, and now he only has 10,000 dragon guards left!

If the ghost-faced general breaks through the city, how can these soldiers and horses stop the iron hooves of their tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?

--

The soldiers and horses of the large battalion on the outskirts of Beijing were scattered twenty miles outside the capital.

In the general's camp tent, Zhao Chen

I have already gotten news from Yanling.

Although he was willing to cooperate with Zhao Chengyuan this time, when he heard that his father's soldiers and horses were all wiped out, it was still quite uncomfortable to hear.

Old General Li lifted the curtain and came in, and walked quickly to the opposite side of Zhao Chen.

"The emperor's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have all been wiped out! Has Your Highness heard of it?"

Zhao Chen nodded, "Yes."

Old General Li's expression was complicated, "I was defeated."

Even the powerful private soldiers did not return to their armor, and General Li did not dare to imagine what would be the result if he insisted on taking the soldiers of the large battalion on the outskirts of Beijing to face the battle.

It is not a pity for him to die, and he is never afraid of death.

But 30,000 soldiers, it is not worth dying for a deaf and brutal tyrant.

Old General Li reined in the guilt of disloyalty, and said in a deep voice, "The next soldiers and horses that the emperor can rely on are the camps on the outskirts of Beijing, how do we deal with them?"

Zhao Chen said, "Try to prevent the soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing from being innocently sent to death."

General Li was most worried about the lives of the soldiers.

His own rebellion against the king does not mean that all the soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing are willing to rebel against the king. The soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing defended the capital, and the concept of loyalty to the monarch was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Compared with the supremacy of the generals of the border gates, the prestige of his own generals in the army is not enough for them to swear to follow the rebellion.

If they really confront the Ghost-Faced General's soldiers and horses, I'm afraid there is only one way to die. When it comes to life and death, the Ghost-faced General will not show mercy to their men.

30,000 soldiers, they don't deserve to die.

Seeing the prince's answer, General Li was talking about his heart, and his face moved slightly, "Is there a way for Your Highness?"

"Yes."

To be exact, it is Zhao Chengyuan.

He had a way to keep all the soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing unscathed, and then took the palace.

"Prince, someone has come to the palace."

Wei Xiao's voice came from outside the tent.

Zhao Chen said lightly, "Let him in."

The person who came was a palace guard, and he bowed his hand, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor announced that you will enter the palace immediately."

Zhao Chen glanced at General Li, got up and left the camp.
