Xiao Xiaobing was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts: "Go upstream, I'll send an extra team of soldiers to follow the boss, right?"

Qi Tian glanced at him, "No, I'll be back soon." ”

Xiao Xiaobing looked at Qi Tian and Bingfeng's departing backs with great concern.

This is, he suddenly had a sense of panic.

"General!" a lieutenant general came to Xiao Xiaobing's side.

"Why don't you have a sound when you ride a horse!" Xiao Xiaobing was startled.

The adjutant general was stunned, "I just called the general." ”

Xiao Xiaobing said angrily: "What's the matter?"

"The soldiers saw that the boss was gone, and now are we going to move on?" the adjutant general asked.

Xiao Xiaobing glanced at the team with no end in sight, "Keep going, boss's order." ”

The lieutenant nodded, turned and walked back.

At this time, Xiao Xiaobing knew why he was flustered, and it turned out that Qi Tian had left the team.

In the past, as long as there was a boss or presence, no matter how many thousands of troops he led when he was young, no matter how strong the enemy he faced, he would never feel afraid or worried that he would not be able to command the team.

But once the boss is not around, he will have some doubts in his heart.

When the Fourth Legion had also crossed the Gaoshan River, Qi Tian and Bingfeng had already returned on horseback.

An Lushan also came to the middle of the artillery corps at this time, "Boss, what did you do just now?"

Qi Tian smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you later." ”

The long procession drove for another day, and finally on the third day, when it was almost dark, they came to the Wolf Rain Pass.

Qi Tian stood on the wind and fire, and saw the huge camp with fire and cooking smoke wafting from afar.

The camp was simple, with no tall stone walls or huge lookouts, just a few thick trees that stood as fences around it.

When the army came to the south gate of the camp, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately shouted, "Who is it?"

Bingfeng drove Wind and Fire around the side of the team and came to the front of the army.

Qi Tian walked out of the carriage and looked at the soldier in front of him, "I'm Qi Tian." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst out in ecstasy, "It's the general! The general has come to our aid!"

The two soldiers immediately ran towards the camp like a wind.

Qi Tian looked at the camp, three or five soldiers in groups, many of them were wrapped in gauze, and several blind soldiers were still wearing armor, their expressions were very depressed, even a little gloomy, and they had no morale at all.

"You guys don't look good. He said lightly.

The soldier sighed and said: "General, the Lion Legion has launched several more attacks in the past few days, and we have suffered heavy casualties, and the front of the Wolf Tooth City to the Wolf Rain Pass are all the corpses of our brothers, and now there are less than 100,000 people alive." ”

As he spoke, tears began to fall.

It seems that many of his brothers did not return alive.

Qi Tian frowned, didn't the letter for help say that 50,000 people had died? Why had there been 50,000 fewer people in the past three days.

No, it takes three days for the letter to reach the imperial capital, which means that the situation mentioned in the letter is already five days ago.

While he was pondering, the fourth princess, who must be burly, came to the camp gate with several lieutenants.

"You're here. The expression of the fourth princess was the same as when Qi Tian first saw her, neither happy nor sad, and she looked indifferent.

Qi Tian also returned the salute: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, we have come to support you." ”

The fourth princess nodded, "Let's go, let's go into the camp tent." ”

"Good. Qi Tian responded, and then he turned to Xiao Xiaobing and whispered: "The people we brought should not camp in the camp, go outside and set up camp by themselves, and then send some cronies to receive some grain and grass, don't let the emotions of these people affect our soldiers." ”

Xiao Xiaobing glanced at the appearance of the soldiers on the periphery, then nodded and turned around to arrange.

Qi Tian took Bingfeng and An Lushan and followed the four princesses to the handsome tent in the camp first.

After entering the handsome tent, Qi Tian sat down next to the main seat with a big grin.

"Take the throne. The fourth princess suddenly spoke.

Now Qi Tian's military rank is higher than her, and according to military regulations, she has to give up her seat to Qi Tian.

"No, I just came, and I'm not familiar with many situations, so it's better for the fourth princess to preside over the overall situation. Qi Tian excused himself.

He had heard about the current tragic situation of the Four Princesses Legion in the Zhaimen, and he didn't want to take this rotten plate now.

The fourth princess was also not polite, and sat directly on the main seat.

Qi Tian and the others sat on his right hand, and several lieutenant generals of the legion sat opposite, one of whom was injured in the arm and wearing white gauze.

These lieutenants all kept looking at Qi Tian with a curious gaze, they had only heard of Qi Tian's name and achievements in the past, and had never seen them.

Seeing real people now makes them very curious for a while.

"Li Hua, you can introduce the current situation to the general. The fourth princess said

Li Hua stood up, hugged his fists at the fourth princess and said, "Obey." ”

"General, our army has been fighting with the 50,000 lion legions led by Emperor Kereh for ten days now, although we stubbornly resisted, we still couldn't effectively stop their iron hooves, and five days ago, we were forced to retreat from Wolf Tooth City to Wolf Rain Pass. He said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Our original army of 200,000 is now only 100,000 left, and many of them are also wounded. ”

Qi Tian knew that Wolf Tooth City was the first city outside the Wolf Rain Pass, where there were tall city walls and abundant grain and grass, which was by no means comparable to the current simple walled city.

"How many people have died?"

Li Hua was a little embarrassed on his face, "I don't know the specific number, but it won't exceed three thousand." ”

Qi Tian frowned and glanced at the expressionless Fourth Princess.

The impression that the fourth princess gave him was that he was skilled in leading troops, disciplined, and very strong in personal force, but how could he be beaten like this by the 50,000 people of the lion army?

"Li Hua, don't be afraid of losing face, and carefully explain the situation of the entire battle, so that the general can better grasp the situation of both the enemy and us. The fourth princess said bluntly.

Qi Tian nodded in his heart, the fourth princess said that he was a fair and honest commander.

Li Hua sighed, nodded a little helplessly, and continued to speak: "When we were still in Wolf's Tooth City, we got the news that the Lion Empire was going to invade my Sunny Empire again, and I also knew that the commander who led the troops this time was Emperor Kereh, with an army of 50,000 people. Since then, we have sent a large number of servants to monitor the assembly of the Lion Legion on a daily basis, and it has paid off every day..."

Without waiting for Li Hua to finish speaking, Qi Tian continued: "Then the 50,000 army of the Lion Legion has not yet been assembled, and a large number of lion soldiers suddenly appeared inside the Wolf Tooth City, directly attacking the Wolf Tooth City from the inside?

Li Hua and the other adjutants all looked at Qi Tian with a look of disbelief.

They even thought that Qi Tian would be watching the battle from the sidelines at that time?

The situation that Qi Tian said was not bad at all!

It's just that the fourth princess still looks indifferent and doesn't look surprised.

"When you couldn't hold the Wolf Tooth City and were about to retreat to the Wolf Rain Pass, you encountered a large number of pursuing ambushes, and then the casualties further increased. Qi Tian continued.

Li Hua couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore, and asked out loud: "How does the general know, could it be that you were there at that time?"

Qi Tian shook his head, "If it were me, I would do the same." ”

He now understood why the fourth princess's army of 200,000 had been defeated so badly.

Eighty percent of the news that Emperor Cree commanded a 50,000-strong lion army to invade the Sunny Empire was deliberately released by Emperor Cree himself, in order to paralyze the Four Princesses Legion stationed in Wolf's Tooth City, so that they mistakenly thought that when the army was not assembled, they would not attack Wolftooth City.

And Li Hua's meticulous work released by them is estimated to be deliberately indulged by Emperor Keree.

Just when the Four Princesses Legion was waiting for the 50,000 army to assemble, Emperor Kree had already secretly sent the front army to infiltrate the Wolf Tooth City, and at the same time sent a large number of ambush soldiers to ambush the Four Princess Legions who had withdrawn from the Wolf Tooth City.

This ring of trickery is really powerful!

If you fall into the first ring, you will step into the second ring, and the third ring...

Qi Tian also finally felt how powerful An Lushan said about Emperor Cree, who was good at using strange soldiers.

Now Li Hua and other lieutenants can really understand why Qi Tian is so powerful!

You give him a beginning, and he can guess the end.

The fourth princess spoke at this time: "Although the lion army has also attacked in the past few days, it has also been blocked back by us, and now the two armies are deadlocked here. ”

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people do they attack each time?"

"It's all small attacks, probably a few thousand. The fourth princess replied.

Qi Tian nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said coldly: "No! They did this on purpose, in order to paralyze us again!"

"What do you mean?" The fourth princess's expression was still indifferent, making people think that the fourth princess was suffering from stiff expression.

"If they really wanted to attack Wolf Rain Pass, they should have sent the main troops to attack a long time ago. Qi Tian said, "As the last barrier between the inland and the northern grasslands, Emperor Keree must know the situation of the Wolf Rain Pass, but he only sent a small number of troops to intrude, which shows that their purpose is not to attack the problem, but to confuse us and induce us to gather our army here at the Wolf Rain Pass." ”

"What is their purpose in doing this?" asked the fourth princess.

"I've just been here. Qi Tian shook his head and asked instead, "Aside from the Wolf Rain Pass, is there any other path to enter the interior?"

The fourth princess thought for a moment, then shook her head, "There is no more in the north, unless they attack from the south." ”

"No, there must be. Qi Tian said firmly.

If not, what did Emperor Keree deliberately let them gather here for?

The fourth princess looked at Li Hua, "Early tomorrow morning, you take the general to take a look around, and let the general grasp the geographical situation here as soon as possible." “

"The last general obeys!" Li Hua said happily.

Qi Tian is so powerful, he has long wanted to take the opportunity to chat with the general more, Qi Tian is the most famous and legendary figure in the entire continent!

"How many soldiers did the Grand General bring this time?" asked Princess Celestia.

"Sixty thousand. Qi Tian said that he did not count the five thousand men of the Fourth Legion because he was not prepared to let An Lushan go to the battlefield.

"What! It's only 60,000 people?" Li Hua and the other lieutenants were taken aback.

Half of the 200,000 troops were wiped out by Emperor Cree, and 60,000 troops were not enough for Emperor Cree to plug his teeth!

"General, shouldn't there be 150,000 guards in the Imperial Capital City?, why did you bring 60,000 men?" the fourth princess asked with a frown.

"This is war. Qi Tian said simply.

"War, don't you know that the number of troops determines the outcome of the war?" the fourth princess's tone was a little unkind.

"I don't know. Qi Tian directly denied it, "I only know that if the number of people is competed, the four princesses will already occupy the Lion Empire." ”

The fourth princess's eyes were fierce, but she didn't say anything more.

And the other lieutenants all looked a little decadent, like frosted eggplants, and Li Hua lost the excitement just now.

"General, rest early, I have already sent someone to bring grain and grass to your barracks. The fourth princess gave an eviction order.

Qi Tian didn't say much, and went out with An Lushan and Bingfeng instead.

It wasn't until he walked out of the fourth princess's tent that An Lushan spoke: "Boss, let's retreat, Emperor Keree is like a god with soldiers, and I have always been inexplicably flustered recently." ”

Qi Tian looked up at him and said in surprise, "When did you become so timid? You are the second-ranked tiger general!"

"Yes, ranked second, not first!" An Lushan said helplessly.

Qi Tian stopped and looked at him seriously, "An Lushan, although you are ranked second, shouldn't you think about how to be the first?"

He is very strange now, this An Lushan usually has an expression of "Lao Tzu is the best", how can he be scared like this when he mentions Emperor Cree, just like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Boss, I understand what you said, it's just..." An Lushan stammered.

"Don't just let our brothers defeat the myth of Emperor Cree together, and then you will be the first tiger general!" Qi Tian patted An Lushan on the shoulder.

He felt that Emperor Cree had become a shadow in An Lushan's heart, what happened to An Lushan in the past?

Early the next morning.

Li Hua came to the outside of Qi Tian's military camp early in the morning, and when he saw Qi Tian coming out of the tent, he hurriedly beckoned: "General!"

Qi Tian smiled slightly, and walked over with An Lushan and Bingfeng.

"General, are you sleeping well?" Li Hua asked politely.

Qi Tian nodded, "It's okay, I'm okay sleeping." ”

Li Hua looked at the tall An Lushan again, "You are General An Lushan, right?"

When An Lushan heard Li Hua suddenly call himself, he was stunned and nodded dumbly.

Li Hua immediately bowed to him and said, "Your famous general is also like thunder, I never expected that I would be fortunate to be able to fight side by side with you!"

When An Lushan heard the flattering words, he originally had a somewhat listless look, but he was also a little more energetic, and nodded coolly, which was a response.

Subsequently, Li Hua took Qi Tian and the others to the Wolf Rain Pass in the north.

Qi Tian looked at the Wolf Rain Pass, and his heart was very touched, only to see that between the two towering mountains, there was a thick iron pass with a width of 100 meters and a height of nearly 20 meters.
