It was the height of summer, and suddenly a demonic wind blew from the west, setting off the yellow sand all over the sky, and people could not be seen for several miles.

It has caused a lot of trouble to the locals.

At this time, in the camp of Xichu, the deputy general Qu Hanqing was relaxed because of the sudden sand and dust, and because of the quiet departure of General Qiu Yanlai.

"In such a climate, it is impossible for Da Ying to send troops to attack again, and we can just take a breath."

Qu Hanqing ordered the soldiers in front to retreat a mile further, and saw that with the yellow sand covering the sunset, the sky was darker than usual.

Arrange for his subordinates to bury pots and cook, and strengthen patrols, beware of waiting until the sand falls at night, and Da Ying will send troops to attack.

"Vice Admiral Qu was too worried, we took the initiative to retreat ten miles back and retreated to the valley, that Da Ying thought that we were trying to capture the old people, Bai Qi, who was known as the god of war, didn't dare to rush into the depths, and he didn't dare to come in this kind of ghost weather."

When the other Western Chu generals saw such a day, their tense nerves also relaxed.

The two armies have been fighting back and forth for more than a month, with constant friction and minor casualties.

But neither was able to hit the other hard.

And the original intention of this battle was not to intend to win or lose big, to destroy a hegemon country with just one battle.

As the first unilateral battle of 300,000 troops, the two sides of Xichu and Da Ying were more of a mutual test to see whose army was stronger, and through actual battles, they knew their own shortcomings with each other.

If you can really attack cities and land in battle, then of course it is even better.

Western Chu fell in love with Hetao and other places where Da Ying put his horses, and Da Ying fell in love with the Wudang Mountains, which could be attacked and defended by Western Chu, as well as the basin around the Danjiang Reservoir, where the water and soil were beautiful.

The color is not big, and the friction is not to the point of a decisive battle.

Coupled with the absence of the main general Qiu Yanlai, Qu Hanqing and the others felt that as long as they kept a low profile, the number of times they harassed Da Ying was reduced, and they insisted on ten days until Qiu Yan returned, and they just rested enough, and they could compare with Da Ying in one go.

Just thinking so, the soldiers outside the tent came to report.

"Oh no! Bai Qi sent someone to send a battle post again! ”

Qu Hanqing's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and he looked left and right.

In fact, as early as when General Qiu left, they expected that they would suddenly retreat to the mountains that they were good at guarding, and they would be suspicious of the Great Yingguo.

Especially the god of war Bai Qi, although Xichu and Da Ying have not officially fought on a large scale, Bai Qi won more to subdue Xi Di with less, and opened up the land of Da Ying to the west for 800 miles, they are familiar with the glorious deeds.

In the face of such a god of war, any wind and grass on the battlefield will be captured by it.

So General Qiu said it before leaving.

If Bai Qi became suspicious and challenged him alone, he would directly refuse.

Anyway, their cats are in the mountains, and Da Ying's army is not good at mountain warfare, so they will naturally not fall into the net.

And if he refused Bai Qi's invitation to fight, and did it according to the rules, Bai Qi could not bully the weak with the strong, and even if he had doubts, he would not act rashly.

"This is the first time you've sent a battle post?"

Qu Hanqing asked with a headache.

"I sent it twice yesterday, and today is the second time."

"Vice General Qu, that Bai Qi has arrived between the camps of the two sides, in case he doesn't talk about martial arts and kills him quickly...... What should I do? ”

Oh, yes.

There are one, two, and there are no three.

Bai Qi put on an attitude that he had to let Qiu Yan come to fight, I was afraid that he would not leave until Qiu Yan returned to the camp.

"Vice General Qu, you said that General Qiu is not accustomed to the water and soil and is recuperating and preparing for the next decisive battle, but at this time, Bai Qi slipped here twice a day, which made the whole army worried and not good for morale."

"If Bai Qi takes the opportunity to launch an attack and force General Qiu to come out, the dragons will be leaderless...... Why don't you ask General Qiu, what should I do? ”

Qu Hanqing glanced at Shen Wu, the general who spoke.

Shen Wunai was the chief general of the lower road army who led 40,000 upper, middle and lower armies after the aristocratic family of Western Chu, the eighth-order middle grade of the martial realm.

Because the Shen family and the Qiu family have never dealt with each other very much, and Shen Wu always has the mind to compete for the commander of the three armies.

In order to balance the power struggle among the nobles and prevent civil strife, Qi Duo did not inform Shen Wu and the central general who led the 60,000-strong army about the transfer of Qiu Yan to South Vietnam.

only informed Qu Hanqing, who was temporarily in charge of 100,000 soldiers and horses on the road, of the ins and outs of the matter.

At this time, his own people asked to see Qiu Yanlai, but Qu Hanqing had one head and two big, so he could only respond vaguely.

"General Qiu should have personally infiltrated Da Ying to investigate the terrain and military situation, and before the decisive battle, Da Ying was messing around."

Qu Hanqing decided to go out for a walk in person to appease the soldiers.

Bai Qi, who encountered a provocation, flickered a few more words and came back for dinner.

Since Bai Qi was suspicious, he followed Bai Qi's suspicion and guided, making Bai Qi even more suspicious that they were trying to lure the enemy deeper.

There is no need to wait for General Qiu to come back, Bai Qi will naturally retreat.

"Arrange some people to go to the Da Ying military camp to keep an eye on, and if there is any change, report it in advance."

Qu Hanqing did not forget to prepare with both hands.

His Majesty specially assigned him to take over the military affairs of General Qiu because he was calm and thoughtful.

He will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and guard General Qiu's small military camp well.

As long as he holds it this time, when General Qiu returns, the main general on the lower road can be replaced by his!

It's just that.

did not wait for Qu Hanqing to meet Bai Qi.

When his subordinates reported it, Bai Qi did not respond after calling the battle, and scolded a few words of "autumn geese come to coax the bag" and left as if it were yesterday.

"It seems that Bai Qi wants to take the opportunity to provoke us to move forward again and leave the valley where they are not good at fighting."

Qu Hanqing saved the matter of confrontation with Bai Qi, but did not forget to let his subordinates send some more men to keep an eye on the movements of Da Ying's military camp.

"I'll report every other hour."

"Once an hour?"

The subordinates felt that this was too frequent, but seeing Qu Hanqing's unquestioning expression, they still ordered the scouts to go to the Da Ying military camp to investigate.

Just when Qu Hanqing arranged everything and turned around and walked back.

Suddenly, a deafening sound of trumpets sounded all around.

"Kill!"

"The chief general of Western Chu, Qiu Yanlai, is not in the barracks, everyone rush!"

Broken!

Qu Hanqing followed the prestige.

Bai Qi did not go and returned.

But Da Ying, a victorious general at the peak of the eighth order of the martial realm, led a thousand horsemen out of a canyon like a god descending from the earth.

If Qiu Yan came to guard here, the other party would not dare to go on such a rampage.

"It's broken! Bai Qi's call for the formation is fake, and it is true that he secretly arranged for elite soldiers to rush up and kill! ”

Other words.

Bai Qi had already confirmed that Qiu Yanlai was not in the barracks, so he carried out this raid.

Because he didn't know about it, he was called by the enemy to break the facts, and the Da Ying cavalry descended from the sky, which caught the Western Chu army off guard.

Although there were only a thousand horsemen, they cut down thousands of men in an instant, and when the army adjusted to try to surround them, they used their horsepower to march away.

Qu Hanqing didn't have time to clean up the battlefield at all, and shouted at the swarming three-way army.

"Who told you to come out!"

"Quick! Retreat into the valley! Withdraw it! ”

Qu Hanqing was talking, feeling that his body was faintly hot.

He squinted his eyes and looked towards the west of the barracks, in the direction where the Great Cavalry had withdrawn just now, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Cover!"

"Everyone, hurry up and find cover!"
