Time went back to three days ago, in the opposite direction of Shaxian, Tao Qian sat on the horse and sighed, shaking his head from time to time, obviously having something on his mind. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info beside Tao Qian, Kong Rong also had a depressed look, listening to Tao Qian's long sighs one after another, Kong Rong couldn't hold back anymore: "Tao Envoy Jun, Yuan Ding and others conspired to ambush Champion Hou, although you and I were not involved, but we know about this matter, if Champion Hou is really unfortunate to die, won't you and I become accomplices of Yuan Ding and others?"

Tao Qian glanced at Kong Rong and asked rhetorically: "Then what should I do?" The troops in your hands can only resist the princes of the first road at most, don't forget, Yuan Ding and they have more than a dozen princes, not to mention, there are Wang Nuo and others in the court who secretly support Yuan Ding, although you and I are sad, but our arms can't twist our thighs, alas-" As he spoke, Tao Qian sighed again.

"In any case, Rong is the great-grandson of Sage Kong, this kind of unkindness and injustice, Rong categorically cannot sit idly by. Kong Rong said angrily. This is the first time in his life that he feels that Xiucai encounters the difficulties of soldiers, and there are some things that cannot be explained at all.

Tao Qian suddenly reined in the war horse and asked Kong Rong in an inquiring tone: "We don't have the ability to save Yuan Junhou, but we can notify others to come to the rescue." As long as there is no real evidence, Yuan Ding and they can't conclude that it is the news that we leaked, so that they can not offend Yuan Ding, but also warn Yuan Junhou, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Kong Rong said suspiciously: "But today, who can dare to wrestle with all the princes of half the world?"

Tao Qian looked at Kong Rong in amazement, stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast, and gently spit out two words: "Sun Jian." ”

"That's right, Sun Jian's eldest son is the apprentice of Yuan Junhou, and he will definitely return to the army to rescue Yuan Junhou. There is also Gongsun Ruyun, who is a subordinate of Yuan Junhou, and has great respect for Yuan Junhou, and he will definitely not sit idly by. We're going to have to find a way to inform him. Kong Rong put forward his opinion.

Tao Qian nodded, then turned back to his back and said, "Where is Meng Kui?" Behind Tao Qian, a strong man who was less than thirty years old rode over and replied, "Meng Kui is here." Tao Qian introduced to Kong Rong: "This is a certain deputy general, who was originally from Jingzhou and was quite brave and upright, so he asked him to inform Sun Jian of this matter." ”

Kong Rong laughed and said, "Great goodness!"

Not to mention that Meng Kui was ordered to chase after Sun Jian. Time comes back to the present. Outside Shaxian, Yuan Qi took a deep breath against the morning sun, suppressed the uneasy emotions in his heart as much as possible, and then turned his head to Qi Tian and said: "Big brother, for some reason, a boulder is pressed in a certain heart, and he is a little breathless. ”

Qi Tian comforted and said: "Maybe you are too tired, in the past few months, you have rarely been able to sleep well." When I return to Youzhou this time, I will have to recuperate for a few days. When the matter of merging the state is over, I will go to Jixian to find you, and we will not get drunk. ”

looked at Qi Tian's concerned expression. Yuan Qi felt that his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't bully the younger brother who is not strong enough to drink!"

After the two talked for a while, Qi Tian jumped on the back of the red rabbit horse and waved goodbye to Yuan Qi. Led the army to the northwest.

Yuan Qi silently looked at Qi Tian's back until he disappeared, and then let out a long sigh. Then he turned over and jumped on the back of the jade unicorn's horse, allowing Zhao Hu and Ma Yue to beckon the army to set off.

On the top of a mountain in the distance, Yuan Ding and the others hid their figures under the cover of the mountain rocks, and quietly watched the movements of the Yuan Qi army. After seeing Yuan Qi and Qi Tian say goodbye, he began to lead the army forward, and the corners of Yuan Ding's mouth flashed a cold smile: "Yuan Qi, today next year will be your sacrifice day." ”

100 steps ...... Eighty steps...... Fifty steps...... Yuan Ding counted silently in his heart. As long as Yuan Qi walked fifty steps forward, he was about to enter the net laid by Yuan Ding and others, which was not an open official road, with towering peaks on both sides, and Yuan Ding had already buried countless ambushes on the mountains on both sides.

Fifty paces away from the ambush circle, Yuan Qi suddenly stopped, vigilantly observing the movements around him, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Yuan Qi himself couldn't tell what the reason for this uneasiness was, but he intuitively felt that there was danger ahead, and it was a great danger. Yuan Qi trusted his instincts, which was similar to the instinct of a beast, especially the kind of higher level.

Yuan Qi stopped, and the army behind him naturally stopped, Zhao Hu and Ma Yue came to Yuan Qi's horse, not understanding why Yuan Qi stopped advancing. Yuan Qi was just about to open his mouth to explain, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the side. Yuan Qi turned his head to look, a strong man wearing the armor of the deputy general came to Pegasus, when he saw Yuan Qi's banner, he shouted loudly: "Prince, retreat! There is an ambush ahead!"

Ma Yue stood in front of Yuan Qi and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" The person who came replied loudly while galloping on his horse: "It is Meng Kui of Jingzhou, Yuan Ding and others have set up a net in front of him, and the prince and the marquis will retreat quickly!" In order to protect Tao Qian from being angered by Yuan Ding and others afterwards, Meng Kui did not report whose subordinate he was.

The person who came was Meng Kui. After he caught up with Sun Jian's team non-stop, he told Sun Jian that Yuan Ding and others were preparing to ambush Yuan Qi, and then changed a horse in Sun Jian's army, and rushed to report to Yuan Qi day and night, and Sun Jian led the army to arrive later.

"What you said, how can you prove it?" asked Yuan Qi cautiously. Meng Kui was anxious, but he couldn't explain it to Yuan Qi, Meng Kui knew that Yuan Ding must be hiding nearby, if he said Tao Qian's name, although he could make Yuan Qi believe, but he would expose Tao Qian to Yuan Ding. Gritting his teeth, Meng Kui shook the reins violently, turned the horse's head and ran towards the official road, and while galloping on the horse, he reached into his arms and took out a fire fold. Meng Kui lit the fire fold with difficulty in the bumps on the horse's back, and after sitting down and running on the official road, Meng Kui shook the reins to let the front hooves of the war horse trample twice on the official road, and then threw the fire fold in his hand to the ground.

This official road has already been buried by Yuan Bai with nitrate and sulfur, and covered with a thin layer of floating soil to hide people's eyes and ears. Meng Kui urged the war horse to trample the earth, and after kicking away the floating soil on the surface, the fire fold fell directly on the fire-causing thing under the floating soil, and the fire instantly rose and burned forward along the official road.

Yuan Ding, who was hiding on the top of the mountain, saw that the net he had laid was destroyed by a person who came out of nowhere, and stood up angrily. He couldn't care about hiding his tracks anymore, and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrows!" The ambush soldiers who had already been ambushed on the mountains on both sides rose in response, and the sound of tooth-aching strings was clearly transmitted to Yuan Qi's ears.

The next moment, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and tens of thousands of arrows even temporarily obscured the sun's rays. Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushed to Yuan Qi first, blocked Yuan Qi behind him, and then waved their weapons to shoot arrows for Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi looked forward through countless arrows, he saw that Meng Kui and his horse were shot to the ground, and before he died, Chao Yuan Qi smiled slightly, and he fell.

Seeing Meng Kui leave, Yuan Qi raised his Mixed Yuan halberd high and roared towards the top of the mountain where Yuan Ding was: "Yuan Ding!

Yuan Qi has the support of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, but the elites of Tiangui and Digui after Yuan got up did not, in the face of the rain of arrows coming from the sky, even if the soldiers of Tiangui Camp and Digui Camp are elite, it is difficult to open all the arrows one by one. Casualties are inevitable. Moment of truth. Yuan Qi spent a huge amount of money to build the elite armor for the elite of the two battalions, which played a vital role, and the solid armor blocked most of the vital points on the body of the elite of the two battalions, otherwise. I am afraid that the casualties will be difficult to estimate. Even with excellent armor to protect themselves, under this round of arrow rain, nearly a thousand elites were still killed by cold arrows, and the rest were injured. Countless.

"Retreat! Return to Shaxian!" Yuan Qi ordered loudly. The elite of the two battalions waved their weapons and fired the arrows as they said and retreated.

The sergeant who saw his own side had a condescending advantage. The loss caused to the elite of Yuan Qi's department, Yuan Ding's heart felt extremely happy, and shouted loudly: "Don't stop! Keep firing arrows!" With Yuan Ding's order, there was another sound of string pulling, and it rattled.

The second round of arrow rain fell, and the elite of the two battalions in retreat suffered casualties again, but because of the barrier formed by war horses, the number of casualties was much less than just now, and only a few hundred people were shot on the spot. After withstanding the second round of arrows, the rest of the men sped up and got out of range of the ambush soldiers standing on the mountain.

In just two volleys, nearly 2,000 people were shot and killed by the elites of Heaven and Earth who crisscrossed the battlefield. Perhaps, Yuan Ding was not satisfied with this record, thinking that the number of people shot was too small, but Yuan Qi didn't think so, at this moment Yuan Qi's heart was dripping blood! Every elite who returned to heaven and earth was an elite cultivated after thousands of selections, and after strict training and countless wars, Yuan Qi poured too much effort and a lot of money into them, and every elite who died in battle was like a piece of meat on Yuan Qi's body.

Will this battle be Waterloo, or something else...
