Chapter 197
General Tian Feng of Qi did not expect that he and his remaining troops would survive. All of them watched helplessly as the Qin cavalry who beat them to the point of being almost powerless to fight back, and in front of the Zhao people who suddenly appeared, they turned into lambs to be slaughtered.
The transition between the strong and the weak is sometimes so fast. If on the current battlefield, the Qi army is a sheep and the Qin cavalry is a wolf, then the cavalry of the Zhao State is a real tiger. Fortunately, this tiger drives away wolves and does not eat sheep.
Not long ago, the defeated Qin cavalry, which was killed several times more than him, was wiped out in just over an hour after the Zhao people appeared. When Tian Feng led his remaining defeated generals to respectfully welcome the Zhao reinforcements, they were surprised to know that the cavalry that had caused them to defeat them was not the Yan army, but the elite Qin army. What surprised them even more was that not only were Lanlingjun and Princess Wuyou in the reinforcements, but King Zhao actually came in person!
Tian Feng, who was not worried about the mess everywhere, had not dried up his blood and had several injuries, led all his soldiers to bow to the battlefield that had just ended and saluted Princess Wuyou. By the way, thanked King Zhao for his rescue.
Although there were many casualties after the defeat, but in the sadness, these lucky people were filled with great excitement. Countless people looked quietly in the direction where Princess Wuyou was. Although they did not dare to look directly rudely, the respect in the eyes of these men in the army could not be hidden.
Over the years, no young man in the royal family of Qi has ever been on the battlefield, let alone swing his sword to kill the enemy. However, the princess in armor in front of her not only led the way to march on the battlefield, but also killed two enemy generals with the sword in her hand. This is what everyone saw with their own eyes, and there is no exaggeration at all. Even if the princess is a woman, it has already made everyone extremely excited.
The arrival of the King of Zhao himself made all the soldiers of Qi see hope for victory. If they can fight against the enemy together with Zhao, then even if they are attacked by the powerful enemy, there is nothing scary.
"No wonder those guys are so powerful. They are the elite troops of Qin! It's just that Mo Jiang is incompetent and is not the opponent of Qin people."
Tian Feng lowered his head, his face full of sadness. Princess Wuyou didn't say much. She just rubbed her long sword with care and did not let any blood be left on it. The joy after killing the enemy general gradually faded away. Now she was seriously recalling what she had gained from the first time she went to the battlefield. Lan Lingjun reached out and patted Tian Feng on the shoulder and comforted her.
"General Tian, don't blame yourself! The Qin people dispatched 10,000 most elite cavalry this time, plus the more than 30,000 infantrymen of Yan, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Moreover, I'm afraid you don't know yet? The main general who led this army to invade Qi was Mu Xueqing, the most famous general in Qin! In front of this person, who can stop his sharpness in Qi?!"
Lanling Jun Tian Wuzhao's tone was full of helplessness. Everyone knew the combat effectiveness of the Qi army. Even if it was clearly stated, there was nothing to be taboo. The facts were right in front of me, but they were not as good as others. Otherwise, they would not have been trapped by the other party in just half a month, and almost lost half of the land of Qi.
Tian Feng and his soldiers, who knew about these things for the first time, were all shocked. So that's it! No wonder the other party was able to be as powerful as a bamboo shoot and as if he had entered a state of no one. Since it was the Qin and Yan coalition forces, Mu Xueqing was dispatched again, there was nothing strange about it.
"Lanlingjun, fortunately, you invited King Zhao to lead the army, otherwise the Taiyue defense line would be in danger! I don't know what happened in Linzi City yet... General Zou is probably not clear about the inside story. Should we immediately reorganize the army to support?"
Tian Feng seemed a little anxious. Although the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements was gratifying. After a brief look, there were no more than 10,000 cavalry and infantrymen under King Zhao's command. Thinking of the power of the Qin army, he felt a little hesitant again.
It seemed as if he had seen through his thoughts. Chu Jiangmian, who had not spoken much, smiled faintly. He waved his hand and asked Lanlingjun and Tian Feng to follow him to the height of the mountain tomb. Princess Wuyou returned the sword and hurriedly followed him up.
This is the remnant of Taiyue Mountain. Although it is mostly hilly, there are also several high mountains and canyons. It is noon, and the autumn wind blows on my face, which is very refreshing. Chu Jiangmian looked at the continuous long grass under his feet, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at a certain direction and asked.
"General Tian, do you know how far is this place from Linzi City?"
"King Zhao, it should be about eighty miles away."
Tian Feng didn't know what he meant to ask, so he had to answer truthfully. Everyone else was listening quietly beside him. Princess Wuyou's clear eyes were flowing. When she wanted to ask, she saw Lan Lingjun wink at her, and her heart moved. She quickly swallowed the words to her mouth, but just pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"So, if the cavalry advanced at full speed, how long should it take to arrive here?"
When Tian Feng heard Chu Jiangmian’s question in detail, he did not dare to neglect it. He thought about it seriously before answering again.
"Due to the terrain, it takes two hours to get from Linzi City to the hilly valley here, according to the speed of the cavalry's advancement."
"Two hours...haha! That may take a long time. If this happens, time will be very abundant..."
Chu Jiangmian said to himself, not knowing what he was thinking. Everyone looked at each other, full of doubts, but did not dare to interrupt his thoughts casually. After a moment of silence, Lan Lingjun saw a smile on his face, as if something had been decided, so he asked in a low voice.
"King Zhao, I don't know what you are asking will help our next action plan?"
Chu Jiangmian stood in the wind, and the cloak was flying behind him. Against the direction of the sun, he pointed to the valley passage where his eyes could reach. He did not directly answer Lan Lingjun's question, but seemed to ask another question casually.
"Lanlingjun, don't worry... Uh, does anyone know what the passage over there is called?"
This time, before Tian Feng could answer, Lan Lingjun had already told him the answer with a smile.
"King Zhao, this is a coincidence. I have also walked through the passage through the valleys and hills several times. The locals call it a logging road. It is said that because the people living nearby are poor, their ancestors went up the mountain to cut wood and chop wood, and they were transported out of the mountain from there, but it was a necessary way to travel between the north and the south."
Hearing his commentary, Chu Jiangmian nodded with a smile and said he knew. Princess Wuyou finally couldn't help but feel curious. She came forward, looked at her head, muttered a few words softly.
"What's the best thing about the wild mountains and rivers? Why don't you study it carefully and how to defeat the enemy of Linzi City! Since that Mu Xueqing is known as a famous general in the world, she should be very powerful, right? Don't go too late, if he breaks into the city, it will be troublesome."
Seeing the princess coming, everyone else took a step back consciously. The army had already heard about the matter between the princess and King Zhao. Of course, everyone hoped that this good thing would really succeed. This brave and beautiful princess should have such a hero to match.
"We don't have to go to Linzi City, just wait here for a long time."
Everyone looked up in surprise, including Lanlingjun, staring at the young King Zhao's face together, and they really didn't understand what his words meant.
"King Zhao said...we must firmly guard this strategic location here?"
"Of course not. We are going to prepare to fight here, set up a battlefield, and win a big victory!"
Tian Feng and his subordinates stared at each other even bigger than bull's eyes. They turned their puzzled eyes from Chu Jiangmian's face to Lanlingjun's face, but found that the famous prince of Qi was also full of shock and doubt. Everyone had to turn their eyes back to Chu Jiangmian's face. The General of Qi, who had just fought a big defeat, touched the wound with his hands with shame, and said timidly.
"The general is a little confused. I'm preparing for the battlefield here... Will the troops of Qin and Yan come again?"
"Yes, they will come, and they will come soon! If I expected it would be a real battle here tonight!"
Chu Jiangmian ended everyone's doubts with a positive tone. Although many people still refused to believe it, under the current circumstances, it is not convenient to question it casually.
"If there are a small number of Qin troops who escaped, there is no need to search and pursue them anymore. General Tian will arrange for those who are not injured to set fire and bury the pot and make rice. You might as well make a loud announcement. We will have a good rest here tonight and treat the injured by the way."
"King Zhao! But... did those Qin troops take the opportunity to escape?"
"Uh, I just want them to escape back! Otherwise, who will send a message for us? Haha!"
Tian Feng felt a little confused, so he touched his head. But he saw a meaningful smile on King Zhao Chu Jiangmian's face. He waved his hand and let everyone get closer, and then whispered a few soft words... All the people present at Lanlingjun changed their faces in horror.
"King Zhao! Can this plan really succeed?"
"It's almost impossible to be separated from the ten. Famous generals cannot be attributed to common sense... Haha! The more you think something is impossible, the more likely it will happen. Just be prepared, and you might as well wait and see."
Faced with everyone's doubts and shock, Chu Jiangmian showed a mysterious smile on her face. Princess Wuyou couldn't help but curl her lips. At this moment, why did this guy feel like a "charlatan" in her eyes?
