Hearing this, Zhao Yunjun nodded slightly, feeling that his worries just now were indeed a little superfluous.

Zhao Defang said again: "Besides, the large army of Jin Wuwei is still behind, and if we return now, wouldn't we be full of collisions with them." When the time comes, the two armies will flank us, and we will not be able to resist it at all. ”

"The last general understands!"

So, the Song army began to return to the way they came.

Seeing this, Master Nagarjuna laughed, "This Song man is really a gallant mouse, and he was scared away by us, and he even chose to turn back." It seems that sooner or later they will be defeated at the hands of the old man. ”

"The master is wise and martial, and the Song people are doomed to failure." The disciple next to him said flatteringly.

Master Nagarjuna waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be a sycophant, send an order to the brothers, and add dinner tonight." ”

"Yes!"

"Master, the Song people are so cowardly, should we send scouts to keep an eye on their movements, lest they sneak attack at night." A monk behind him suggested.

Master Nagarjuna shook his head and said, "There's no need! Although the cavalry of the Song people was strong, they could not break through the obstacles we had set, let alone threaten our camp. So there's no need to waste energy staring at them. ”

Although Nagarjuna said this modestly, he actually carried a strong sense of self-confidence.

The Jin Wuwei scouts deployed around the Dragon Bone Canyon were more than a thousand people. Among them were hundreds of cavalrymen.

With this force, even if the cavalry of the Song army charged with all their might, it would be impossible to break through the block, and at most they could kill dozens of Jin Wuwei.

Not to mention, there were hundreds of scouts guarding the north and south ends of the Dragon Bone Canyon, and it was impossible to take the Dragon Bone Canyon even if the Song cavalry charged.

This is also the reason why Master Nagarjuna is so calm.

"Master, your judgment is really right, the Song army really didn't dare to attack our camp."

At the north and south ends of the Dragon Bone Canyon, on the tops of two towering mountains, Zu Zand, the commander of the Jin Wuwei, was hiding on the edge of the cliff, staring at the dense cavalry of the Song army below.

The terrain of the Dragon Bone Canyon is very unfavorable for the cavalry, especially the cavalry of the Song army is still the best among the cavalry, and it is like a fish in water.

Jin Wuwei scouts only need to be slightly negligent, or slow down a little, and they are easy to be discovered by the Song army.

This also makes the investigation efficiency of the Jin Wuwei scouts very poor.

But for Zu Zand, the commander of Jin Wuwei, his responsibility is to keep an eye on the commander of the Song army and find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Defang as soon as possible.

"My lord, it's not a way to delay like this, I estimate that Song Jun will find out about us soon, and we should take measures." The pro-soldiers beside him whispered.

Zuzande pondered for a moment and said, "Let the brothers be ready, if the commander of the Song army appears, he must be killed!" ”

"Yes!"

Subsequently, the Jin Wuwei on both sides of the Dragon Bone Canyon immediately began to get busy, setting up bows and arrows, and preparing to meet the enemy.

At the same time, Zhao Defang and others had returned to the barracks.

"How's it going, have you found any hostile information?" As soon as he returned to the military tent, Zhao Defang hurriedly asked.

The adjutant general in charge of scouting and reconnaissance shook his head and said, "Commander, no enemy troops have been found, they seem to have retreated. ”

Zhao Defang frowned slightly, he always felt that things were not so simple.

Master Nagarjuna's strategy is not so simple to be recognized.

"Marshal, are we going to continue the attack?"

Zhao Defang thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "No! ”

He didn't think that Jin Wuwei would give up the terrain of Dragonbone Canyon, this kind of dangerous terrain would definitely be the best place for them to ambush.

"So what do we do?"

The generals asked.

Zhao Defang said: "The order goes down, everyone is on guard and strictly guarded." ”

All the generals are in unison.

……

The Jin Wuwei scouts at the north and south ends of the Dragon Bone Canyon were still on high alert, staring at the dense Song army below.

But at this moment, they looked in surprise at the grass in front of them, and three Song Army soldiers slowly walked out, holding spears in their hands, looking at them with cold eyes.

"What's going on?" Jin Wuwei's scouts were all confused.

Song Jun: What is this for? Could it be that they have discovered their existence and are preparing to fight them?

But soon they knew the answer.

The three Song soldiers galloped straight towards them, getting closer and closer, and their momentum gradually became fierce.

The spears in the hands of the three Song soldiers stabbed forward.

"Ahh

Jin Wuwei's scouts were caught off guard, and five or six people were pierced through their bodies with spears on the spot, screaming and falling off their horses.

The rest of the scouts' faces changed wildly, and they immediately turned their horses and ran back.

"Whew!"

Then they heard the sound of a bowstring trembling behind them, followed by a sharp pain throughout their bodies.

"Ah......h

"Bang!"

Jin Wuwei's scouts fell to the ground one after another.

"My lord, Jin Wuwei's scouts have been resolved, please instruct!"

"Pick up the loot and clean up the traces!"

"Whoa!"

After Zhao Defang finished speaking, he picked up the arrow he had just shot from the ground, looked at the blood stained on it, and muttered: "I didn't expect Jin Wuwei to really dare to fight with us in the wild, it seems that my guess is right, that Nagarjuna Master really wants to use this way to attract us to attack." But he was naïve enough to think we would be stupid enough to fight them. ”

The western section of the Dragonbone Canyon, the Jinwuwei scout camp.

"Report to your lordship, the scouts on the eastern, southern, northern, and southern sides of the Dragonbone Canyon have all been ambushed and have suffered heavy damage."

"What? What did you say? ”

The scout leader Halls' face suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted, "How is this possible? Our scouts were divided into four groups, each with at least a few dozen people. How could it be that in just half a day, all of them were lost in the hands of the enemy. Unless ......"

"Unless the enemy is in ambush in the shadows, and while we are slackening, they suddenly appear to ambush us. But is it possible? ”

"But that's the truth, out of four groups of scouts, only three groups of scouts escaped. The remaining three groups of scouts were all wiped out. The scout leader said bitterly.

"Bastard!"

The leader of the scouts, Halls, roared angrily: "It must be that the Song army discovered our location, so they deliberately ambushed near the Dragonbone Canyon. ”

"But my lord, according to the marching habits of the Song army, they can't hide so far at all, unless they already know that we will ambush here, and send scouts to lurk here in advance."

Halls frowned and said, "But this is impossible, the news we are hiding here is a secret, and it is impossible for Song Jun to know." Besides, the Dragon Bone Canyon is so big, how can the Song army be sure that we will choose the Dragon Bone Canyon as our ambush location. ”

He really couldn't figure out what was wrong.

In any case, since the Song army was able to quietly kill the three groups of scouts, it proved that the Song army had arranged a large number of scouts in the Dragon Bone Canyon, and even knew their specific locations.

If they hadn't been ambushed in the Dragon Bone Canyon in advance, how could they easily kill the three groups of scouts?

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Halls thought of something, his face changed drastically, and said: "It may be that the Song army had expected us to lay an ambush, so they deliberately set up a trap to lure us into the bait, and then surrounded and annihilated us." ”

When the rest of the scouts heard this, they all gasped, and cursed in their hearts, damn, this army of the Song Kingdom is really cunning, and they actually know how to set traps to trap us.

"My lord, what now? The Song army is clearly blocked outside the keel canyon, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to fight through! The scout leader worried.

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight it!"

Hols snorted coldly: "You go to the commander Zuzande for support, remember, this matter must be kept secret, and it must not be leaked." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Go ahead!"

The leader of the scouts hurried away with a few scouts.

After they left, Hols immediately took the saber at his waist, turned over and rode on his horse, and said to the cronies next to him: "Go, follow me to Lord Zuzande!" ”

"My lord, let's go find Lord Zuzande now?" The cronies were stunned: "Have you forgotten the order of the generalissimo and not allow us to reveal our whereabouts?" ”

Halls sneered: "Although we are scouts, we are not fools, and we don't need to be led by the nose by the Song army like idiots." ”

"Now that Master Nagarjuna is in the Dragon Bone Canyon, we can completely report this matter to Lord Zuzande, and then use Lord Zuzande's power to seize the entire Dragon Bone Canyon."

The cronies suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Your Excellency is wise! ”

……

Keel Canyon East Section.

Song scouts are clearing the battlefield.

Their movements are skillful.

Because the Song army and the Tibetan soldiers have fought many times over the years, they are basically familiar with Jin Wuwei's various routines.

They have fought more than ten such skirmishes.

Soon, all the bodies were cleaned up.

"Great Marshal, the traces left by the enemy have been cleaned up, and you can continue to attack the Dragon Bone Canyon." The scout commander came to Zhao Defang and said.

Zhao Defang nodded and gave an order: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

"Rush!"

The Song cavalry roared and poured into the Dragonbone Canyon like a tidal wave.

In the Dragon Bone Canyon, Jin Wuwei, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately greeted him.

The two sides fought fiercely in the narrow part of the dragon bone canyon, and launched a fierce battle.

The infantry of the Song army, together with the cavalry, quickly gained the upper hand and suppressed the Jin Wuwei.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the scout leader had round eyes and roared angrily: "The terrain of the Dragonbone Canyon is complex, which is extremely unfavorable to the cavalry. The Song army has a large number of infantry here, which is despicable. ”

The leader of the scouts gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let the Song army continue to be arrogant, we must find a way to stop them and delay their footsteps." ”

The rest of the scouts also took a stand.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a thunderous sound rang out in the Dragonbone Canyon.

"What is this?"

The scouts looked suspiciously at the source of the sound.

Soon they saw a blackened figure in the distance.

If you look closely, it is the iron horse of Tibet.

"My lord, they are the commanders of the troops, and they have come to support us." The scout leader was pleasantly surprised.

Halls also relaxed, and shouted, "Brothers, hold on, the general is coming to our aid." ”

"Hahaha, the Jin Wuwei army has arrived, and they have finally come to save us."

The originally decadent Jin Wuwei scouts instantly burst out with a strong fighting spirit and desperately resisted the attack of the Song army.

"My lord, the commander of the enemy army, Zuzande, has come to support, what should we do now?"

In the Dragon Bone Canyon, the general in charge of directing the attack saw the arrival of the Jin Wuwei Iron Cavalry, looked nervous, and hurriedly asked for instructions.

Zhao Defang frowned slightly, he didn't expect Zuzande to come to support the Dragon Bone Canyon, let alone the other party coming in person.

This was something he hadn't thought of at all.

After all, the Dragonbone Canyon was too far away from Zuzande's camp, and Zuzande could have sat in the camp and waited for their victory.

But now, Zuzande actually came to support in person, which made him feel bad.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Defang said calmly: "Pass the order and ask all the crossbowmen to stop shooting arrows and use the spear formation instead." The cavalry followed me to break through the enemy's lines. ”

The terrain of the Dragonbone Canyon was narrow, and the cavalry was easily limited.

Only the pikes were able to minimize the casualties of the cavalry.

The general answered the promise and immediately went to deliver the order.

After a moment, the ground of Dragonbone Canyon trembled.

Dense Song soldiers outflanked them from both sides and pressed towards the Jin Wuwei Iron Cavalry.

At the same time, the sky feathered arrows shot at the Golden Guard's iron horseman.

The sound of a dense crash resounded in the canyon, and the Golden Guards raised their shields to block the feathered arrows.

Then, under the leadership of the commander of the Jin Wuwei, he violently accelerated his charge in an attempt to tear through the enemy's defenses.

The spear pierced Jin Wuwei's chest, blood splattered, and screams continued.

But it was still unable to contain the enemy's attack.

"Kill!"

Jin Wuwei's generals were full of resentment and screamed to kill him.

Just when he had just shot a few meters, he was stabbed through the throat by several spears and died on the spot.

The body fell to the ground.

When the rest of Jin Wuwei saw this, they were even more resentful in their hearts.

Their generals were killed, causing them to dare not fight and flee frantically.

"Want to run? No way! ”

When Zuzande saw it, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Jin Wuwei listens to the order and pursues!" ”

"Da Da Da!"

Immediately, thousands of iron horsemen pursued the past.

The war in Dragonbone Canyon is getting fiercer.

……

In the camp of the Song army, Zhao Defang sat on a chair with a sinking face.

He knew that he had miscalculated and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jin Wuwei Iron Cavalry.

I thought that with the scout's probe, and then with the cavalry, it would be enough to solve the Jinwuwei Iron Cavalry.

But unexpectedly, the results of the scout's probing were completely different from the scout's description.

"Damn, what's going on with this Zuzande?"

"The Jin Wuwei Iron Cavalry under his command is so powerful?"

"Could it be that the iron cavalry under Zuzande are all elite cavalry?"

Zhao Defang frowned and muttered, "Impossible, if Jin Wuwei's iron cavalry are all elite cavalry, how can they be willing to be driven by Zu Zander?" ”

"Anyway, let's destroy these five hundred iron horsemen first."

Zhao Defang made up his mind and ordered: "Send the order to send five hundred crossbowmen to attack the west side of Jin Wuwei's camp, and take the opportunity to consume Jin Wuwei's iron cavalry." ”

"Whoa!" The adjutant agreed, turned and left.

Zhao Defang stared at the map and thought, trying to find the key to breaking the game.

Just then, another scout hurried in.

"What's going on again?" Zhao Defang asked with a gloomy face.

"Great Marshal Qiqi, the main force of the Jin Wuwei retreated, and also sent a large number of scouts into the Dragon Bone Canyon."

The scout's tone was anxious, and he said, "My subordinates are worried that Jin Wuwei is deliberately luring our cavalry. (End of chapter)
