Chapter 660: The Emperor's Hero Is Short of Breath

Xiao Yuchen looked in the direction they left and ordered to disperse and hide.

Before going into hiding, he had a brief meeting with a few centurions.

He gave each of them a "transmission note" and taught them how to use it.

He specially told that now everyone only has this one, and it must be used when it is necessary.

Although several centurions thought that this thing was too mysterious, they naturally did not dare to be careless when they saw that the emperor was so solemn.

Several of them hid the transmission notes tightly in their chest pockets, surrendered their orders, and led their troops to ambush both sides of the pass.

Xiao Yuchen also put the rest of the transmission notes in his chest pocket.

I don't know if it's his consciousness, or if that thing is really going to warm up.

He intuitively felt that his chest was warm, as if he could feel Wen Jin's admiration and attachment to him...... It's what he's always wanted.

It's something he desperately wants to do since he realized that he might have been a "big stupid hat" before.

Now, he seems to have finally seen the light, how can he let this all come to an end because of carelessness on the battlefield?

Although Xiao Yuchen was very confident, he became more and more cautious.

The morning light is faint, and the sky will be bright.

It was two hours earlier than they expected, and the grain transportation team of Qi State appeared in sight.

There were quite a few escorts, and the cavalry numbered about a thousand.

The carts were generally carried by ordinary people, about a few thousand people.

When it comes to fighting, these people have no fighting power. As soon as the horn sounded, they scattered in all directions. Therefore, the two sides can be regarded as "evenly matched" in terms of numbers.

This light cavalry escorting grain and grass has a good momentum, no wonder it is called the elite of the Qi country.

"When you get into the shooting range, do you want to release the arrow?" The herald beside Xiao Yuchen asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yuchen frowned, and his eyes stared at the grain transportation team of thousands of people without blinking.

"Nope! Don't let the arrows go, let them go! ”

Xiao Yuchen said suddenly.

The herald's eyes widened in disbelief, "Your Majesty? ”

He thought he had misheard.

saw Xiao Yuchen repeat again, "Don't let the arrows go, let them go." ”

The herald took a secret breath.

They did not take off their armor last night to rest, and they did not sleep all night, and they lay down in the mountains, and made rolling stones, and prepared arrows...... Isn't it just for the ambush at this moment?

Now, it's time to see the enemy enter the ambush range!

But the emperor ordered...... Give up the attack?!

The herald took a deep breath, though he did not understand the emperor's decision...... But the soldier's obedience made him immediately follow his words.

The elite light cavalry, who had been in ambush for most of the night, just watched the Qi State grain transport team pass by safely from under their noses.

Until they walked out of the pass and walked through this section of the most suitable place for ambush.

The pro-army, which can be called elite, in addition to being able to fight, must also be able to obey orders at any special moment.

Until the thousands of men and horses were out of their sight, the sides of the valley, the easy place to ambush, did not make any suspicious movements.

When the army of Qi was far away, Xiao Yuchen asked someone to make a whistle and gather the cavalry regiment.

Several centurions who led the army were very puzzled and even a little anxious.

"Why did the emperor let them go?"

Xiao Yuchen squinted his eyes and said, "There is a ...... of fraud in it."

Several centurions glanced at each other, "How does the emperor decide?" ”

Xiao Yuchen narrowed his eyes...... He can't tell them it's his instincts, right?

But he has led his troops into battle for so many years, and his instincts have never been wrong.

"They are by no means as simple as a food convoy...... I thought that they were specially used by the Qi State to deal with us. ”

Xiao Yuchen said in a deep voice.

The other people in the meeting looked at each other, still puzzled, "How can you see it?" ”

"Most of the grain and grass in Qi were burned by us last time, but the border war is about to break out. The main battle faction of Qi State is tough, and Qi State will transport grain and grass to the border...... Isn't that right? ”

"The lowly officials carefully observed that the people who transported the grain and grass were indeed ordinary people. The way they walked, the shape of their bodies, did not look like regular troops.

"With the elite soldiers escorted, the movements are different, and the momentum is very different."

The others looked at Xiao Yuchen.

They felt that His Majesty the Emperor, who had always been extremely brave, had gone too far in his caution this time.

It must be that at the time of parting, the man who wears a big cloak and a hood will say goodbye to the emperor...... It touched the emperor's emotions and made the emperor heroic short-breathed.

The generals were even a little indignant at this time.

What a great ambush opportunity they missed!

They had seen the map, and during the whole journey of delivering food, there was no more suitable place to set up an ambush than here!

Xiao Yuchen could clearly feel the emotions of the soldiers.

Not only a few of them who led the troops, but even the elite soldiers below were all dissatisfied at this time.

originally wanted to rush to kill, but without this batch of grain and grass, the army at the border of Qi State might suddenly be in chaos and collapse.

But he ordered them to be let go.

He could understand the indignation of the soldiers.

But if he is influenced and swayed by the emotions of the soldiers, then he is not a good leader.

"I can be sure that there is fraud in it, send spies, probe again, and report again!" Xiao Yuchen said sharply.

This time they did not rush to the front to intercept the grain convoy.

But he quietly and quietly followed behind the grain delivery team, and repeatedly sent spies to find out the situation of the grain transportation team.

There were dozens of spies sent out from front to back.

Some of them say that the grain convoy is no different.

Some people also said that the grain delivery team felt that there was something strange about it...... But they were so cautious that they simply couldn't get too close.

What is strange exactly, but it is impossible to find out.

"Let's fight! Emperor! We're a raider, and we're mobile, so even if there are a lot of them, we're sure to win! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, if they are asked to send food to the Qi army camp, wouldn't all the efforts we have made in front of us be meaningless?"

"Until now, the Qi army has been in chaos for a while, and our army has not dared to take the initiative to attack until now...... That's the end of this battle! ”

"This is a crucial battle to turn the tide of the battle!"

The soldiers were very anxious, and they were noisy in Xiao Yuchen's ears every day, asking for help and urging.

Xiao Yuchen, who has always been resolute and acts quickly, is as steady as Mount Tai this time, no matter how they urge.

He always insisted, "We must find out!" ”

The soldiers even said in private, "Does the emperor not want to fight, and is looking for an excuse?" ”

"If you don't want to fight, shouldn't we go back to the frontier city? Why are you here, running blindly with the Qi army? ”

"I don't understand, what does the emperor want to find out?"

Since they crossed into the territory of Qi State, it has been too smooth.

Every time he raided, he could beat the Qi army to cry and cry his mother, and he was full of urine.

They fought several times against the noble soldiers of the Qi State and gained a lot.

The fruits of victory were so fat that many generals became impetuous.

Pride makes people stupid, and that's true...... There was a centurion who even wanted to unite with several other centurions and secretly led troops to attack the Qi army.
