Chapter 589: Repeating the Old Trick
"Whew......"
The low cry of the Chijing Dragon came from the tent of the Gentian Legion, and it put its huge head on Lin Muyu's shoulder, rubbing it gently, staring at the horse meat in Lin Muyu's hand with big eyes, blinking and blinking, full of anticipation and eagerness, every time Lin Muyu lifted the meat, it was even more expectant, and the scales on the top of the head were like mimosas erected, as if the ears were hanging upside down, full of well-behaved, but when Lin Muyu handed the meat to his mouth, the scales of the red crystal dragon slid down one after another, and his face was full of disappointment.
Wei Qiu said: "In just one afternoon, the Iron Blade Army lost more than 30,000 people, and the war horses were also killed and wounded, so everyone's dinner was replaced with horse meat. ”
"Oh. ”
Lin Muyu nodded, and said to the Chijing Dragon on the side, "Come, open your mouth!"
Chijing Long nodded and blinked his eyes, quickly raised his neck, and opened his big mouth, while Lin Muyu picked up the entire silver basket and poured down at least three catties of horse meat inside, Chijing Dragon swallowed it all without blinking, and then looked at the master with big watery eyes, stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips, his eyes were full of hope as always.
Lin Muyu was a little speechless, touched the head of the red crystal dragon, and said: "Don't be too greedy, even if you have plenty of horse meat, you must be prepared for long-term preparations, you can save a little bit of food, Xiaolong, you can go back to another space to forage for food by yourself." ”
There was a hint of sullenness in Chijing Dragon's affection, this was the only thing Lin Muyu could feel, since Chijing Dragon mixed in another space, Lin Muyu and Chijing Dragon's soul contract seemed to have weakened a lot, the only thing he could feel was Chijing Dragon's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as for what Chijing Dragon wanted to express, Lin Muyu didn't know at all.
On the side, the four generals Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and Fengxi were also dining, silent one by one.
After a while, Situ Sen raised his head and said, "My lord, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
"Yes, it's not big. Lin Muyu calmed the military heart and said, in fact, he also knew that according to this kind of battle situation, I am afraid that the chance of victory will not even be two.
Situ Xue said: "Today, Xiang Yu's army, the Iron Blade Army, the Su Long army, plus the Shenwei Battalion, a total of 90,000 people were killed in battle, and 110,000 were wounded, but the demon clan is just a demon who died less than 30,000 in battle, according to this progress, all of our 500,000 people died here, and the demon clan still has 200,000 armor demons available, not to mention, the high-level demon army has not been used at all." ”
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "I also know this...... It's just that I don't know what Xiao Yin thinks in her heart, and she didn't say anything when I asked her at dusk, I always felt that Xiao Yin had any plans, but she didn't decide to sue me. ”
Wei Qiu was stunned: "With the relationship between the Lord and His Royal Highness, she actually didn't sue you?"
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu sighed: "No matter, since the Gentian Battalion is in charge of the palace, we can rest assured that the palace is behind, and leave the rest of the things to others." ”
"Hmm!"
"By the way, is there any news in the direction of Feng Jixing and Su Yu?"
"Not yet, thousands of miles away from Mosong Pass to Canglin Valley, Yushu will take a day and a night, even if you receive Yushu, it was a day ago, it's useless. ”
"I hope Brother Feng is safe there. ”
"Don't worry, Commander Feng, even if there is any change in Long Qianlin and Ding Xi, Commander Feng can deal with it, and with His Royal Highness Tang Lan and Su Yu in charge, it will be even more foolproof. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu bowed his head, but he knew very well, who were Long Qianlin and Ding Xi, these two people were too shrewd, Feng Jixing might be able to mediate one-on-one, but it would be a little reluctant to say one-to-two.
......
The moonlight of Canglin Valley, the same bright sprinkled on the Mosong Pass, Feng Jixing stood on the city fortress in a white robe, looking at the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield under the moonlight, his face was full of solemnity, a battle during the day, the two sides had losses to each other, Long Qianlin and Ding Xi gathered nearly 400,000 horses in Lingnan, but the strength of the attack on the three passes was only 80,000.
There are only two possibilities, the first possibility is that Long Qianlin thinks that 80,000 is enough to break the level, and the other possibility is that they have other plans.
A commander of the forbidden army walked up the cold stone steps to the city fortress, hugged his fists and said: "Commander, a total of 3,000 corpses of Boxer soldiers have been collected outside the city!"
"Well, got it. How much do we lose ourselves?"
"Less than seven hundred. ”
On the side, Tang Xi couldn't help but smile and said: "Commander Feng really deserves to be a famous general in the world, under the attack of Long Qianlin and Ding Xi, he can actually kill and injure 3,000 of them, but he only loses less than 1,000!"
"Mosong Pass is strong, and the defense of the city is like this. Feng Jixing's face was not half happy, and said: "Come on, send a feather book to Zhang Wei and Xiahou Sang, and order them to erect my Fengzi handsome flag on the city wall, so that Long Qianlin and Ding Xi can't tell which city I am in." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"
Su Yu stroked her fluttering hair, she was still so graceful in the imperial women's uniform, looking at Feng Jixing in a daze, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Commander Feng, what are you thinking?"
Feng Jixing looked at the thin snow on the mountain range and said, "I'm wondering how long it will take for this snow to melt." ”
"Spring in Lingnan comes quickly, and the temperature warmer is not comparable to Lingbei, so as long as there is no more snow, the snow will inevitably melt within three days, perhaps...... One day is fine, as long as the sun is as good tomorrow as it is today. ”
Su Yu squinted her beautiful eyes and smiled and asked, "What, does this snow have anything to do with our battle?"
"Commander Su Yu, you haven't experienced the rebellion in Lanyan City, so you don't know the origin of that war, but ...... Commander Su Yu, as an imperial general, should remember how the traitors of the Boxer Kingdom crossed the Qinling Mountains unknowingly and conquered Cangnan Province, Dixing Province, and Lingdong Province in one fell swoop, right?"
"Green Ridge?"
Su Yu trembled and said, "You don't mean it...... Long Qianlin and Ding Xi will also make a plan to cross the ridge, right?"
"Why not?"
Feng Jixing's eyes were indifferent: "Lin Yu, who set the plan of crossing the ridge, is Long Qianlin's cousin, and it is not surprising that Long Qianlin's old skills are repeated, and the spring flowers are blooming, everything is recovering, and the greenery has begun to appear on the Qinling Mountains, I have inquired, there are at least 20 places in the Qinling Mountains in a section of Xunbai Province that can be crossed, although the three passes are dangerous, but if Long Qianlin and Ding Xi order hundreds of thousands of Yiheguo soldiers to take advantage of the night to pass the collar, surround the three passes, and cut off our food and water sources, wouldn't we be sitting on the ground of death. ”
Su Yu looked hurried and gasped: "Okay...... It's scary, what do we do now?"
Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "Commander Su Yu doesn't need to panic, Lan Gong and I have already thought of it, so we have already sent tens of thousands of troops a day ago, and two thousand people have been dispatched to each pass that can be crossed, set up traps, set up arrow boxes, etc., and be ready for battle, as long as Long Qianlin and Ding Xi want to cross the mountains and mountains, they will die as many as they want!"
Su Yu showed a hint of relief: "Thanks to the wind commander here......"
"Alas......"
Feng Jixing sighed and was silent.
"Why is the Wind Lord sighing?"
"What I sigh is that I can only stay here, if Ah Yu guards the three passes, I'm afraid he would have sent troops to Lingnan and took the initiative to attack. ”
Su Yu couldn't help laughing: "This is also a good thing for the empire, the rain commander is good at attacking, the wind commander is good at defending, both are indispensable, I think this is also the wonderful use of His Royal Highness Yin sending the rain commander to guard the three passes!"
Feng Jixing smiled awkwardly and continued to be silent.
......
In the middle of the night, on the rugged and winding Qinling Mountain Road, a group of Boxer soldiers dressed in black and holding swords walked cautiously, on their side was the bottomless abyss, and the slightest carelessness would break their bones, but the gaze in their eyes was resolute, everyone knew that Ding Xi and Long Qianlin had ordered, and those who crossed the Qinling Mountains first were promoted to commanders, with a bounty of one million!
Yet, they don't seem blessed with the million-dollar bounty!
Just after the first Boxer soldier came up, there was a sudden "whoosh" in the distance, and a sharp arrow shot directly through his throat, and the body of the immediate death rolled into the mountain rock, and the Boxer soldiers in the rear were in a commotion, and a centurion immediately drew his sword and shouted: "There is an ambush, give it to me, rush out of the ambush, they won't have too many soldiers and horses!"
"Kill!"
Hundreds of soldiers of the Righteous Peace Kingdom rushed to the top of the mountain frantically, but they were greeted by pitch-black arrow boxes, and in the sound of strings, dense arrows flew out, turning hundreds of soldiers in front of them into corpses!
"Oops...... They're prepared!"
A commander's face was full of astonishment, and he said, "Withdraw...... Retreat, you can't take it down, send a feather book to the marshal!"
"Bang Bang..."
A letter bird flew down the hill at a high speed.
......
In the camp of the Boxer Army, Ding Xi opened the letter, glanced at it, and his face was a little pale, and said: "It's a good wind, I actually expected that we would cross the ridge to attack, and actually planted an ambush!"
Long Qianlin held the hilt of his sword and said, "Immediately order all the departments to stop the action and withdraw all of them from the Qinling Mountains!"
"Yes!"
But a captain of ten thousand people said with luck in his heart: "Long Shuai, what if the imperial army only sets up an ambush, the rest of the points should be able to establish miraculous achievements, please think twice!"
Long Qianlin smiled slightly: "You don't know enough about Feng Jixing, his mind is far more meticulous than you imagined, immediately send an order to go down, withdraw all the legions that carry out the mission, and don't let them die in vain on the Qinling Mountains! Moreover, even if one or two armies in the past can do anything, the empire has already heard the movement, and nearly 200,000 horses are not decorations." ”
"Yes, Long Shuai!"
Long Qianlin sat down and glanced at Ding Xi, the faces of the two of them were full of solemnity, and they wanted to take the pass from Feng Jixing's hands, how difficult it was!
