In the canyon, Harqi's huge body sat on the horse's back with his chest crossed, staring at the entrance of the canyon without blinking.
Behind him were not just a thousand soldiers, but a full 10,000 or 20,000, all of them riding on big horses, with fat waists and strong bodies.
If you look closely, you will find that there are people not only in the canyon, but also on the hills on both sides of the canyon and behind the long yellow grass.
It seems that all this is a big trap set by Harleqi, and Harleqi is the bait of this trap.
The people behind him and on the top of the mountain are all his secret men.
Yeluxi also didn't know of their existence.
The tall deputy general beside Haleqi asked with a cautious bow.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, will the army of Prince Yan be fooled?"
Harleqi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"If they fall for it, we will just catch them in the trap. They will never come back."
He had just discovered that a general beside King Yan was chasing after them.
He believed that if this person dared to come in, he would not let these people walk out alive.
Harleqi looked confident of victory.
"But if they don't fall for it, there's nothing to lose for us."
Anyway, Yeluxi was not from their faction. He was from the eldest prince's faction. Whether Yeluxi was dead or alive had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, it can weaken the power of the eldest prince.
The deputy general nodded, "So are we just going to wait like this?"
Harlech shook his head.
"Let's wait until tomorrow morning. If no one is chasing us, we will all retreat."
He could actually retreat!
But since I'm here now, it would be good to kill one or two generals of the King of Yan.
He didn't want to confront the King of Yan directly. If it weren't for his old confused father who insisted that he and Yeluxi go, he wouldn't have come.
His original target was actually Fengxi Pass.
He planned to lead his 60,000 troops to Fengxi Pass tomorrow morning.
The deputy general nodded and made arrangements.
Halqi led his men to the middle and rear part of the canyon, so that they could attack or defend.
On the hills on both sides of the canyon were their own people, numbering more than 20,000.
They will notice the slightest disturbance.
The Jin soldiers began to set up camp in the canyon and make fires to cook.
In a tent, Haleqi and several deputy generals continued to discuss the battle at Fengxi Pass.
"This prince's sixth brother will probably reach Fengxi Pass in two days."
"Sixth brother brought 40,000 troops!"
“When the time comes, the two armies will be united.”
"How can the mere 30,000 troops at Fengxi Pass possibly resist?"
Harleqi's face was full of pride.
"Father and other brothers are still thinking about confronting the King of Yan head-on."
"That's great. This will help delay the King of Yan's army. It will also buy us some time."
"And my Sixth Brother and I will bypass the main force of King Yan!"
"From Fengxi Pass, go all the way south and directly attack the Prince of Yan's fiefdom, Beiping Prefecture!"
The deputy generals all smiled!
"The Ninth Prince is wise."
It was getting dark.
The weather became even colder and more biting.
It was better for Haleqi and the others as they hid in the valley where there was no wind and they didn't feel too cold.
However, the soldiers on both sides of the canyon were shivering in the cold wind even though they were wearing thick cotton coats and armor.
They were not allowed to make fire to cook for fear of exposing their tracks.
Wait until the second half of the night.
The Jin soldiers on the top of the mountain were frozen to death, as stiff as wood and stone. They could hardly move even their fingers, and their weapons had long been thrown aside.
At dawn, it was pitch dark.
Everyone firmly believed that the soldiers from the Great Sheng Dynasty would not come. Some people even dozed off quietly.
Qiu Mobai and Hua Lingyi, with less than 200 soldiers who were skilled in martial arts, took great efforts to quietly climb up to the top of the canyon.
Because they were climbing the mountain all the way, they had drunk some wine before, and they were carrying the warming treasure invented by the Bai family father and son.
So everyone felt hot and uncomfortable.
When they arrived in front of the Jin people, they were stunned. Many people were beheaded while they were still dazed.
Some of the Jin soldiers who reacted wanted to resist, but their bodies were stiff and they could not move for a long time, and they also became the souls of the sword.
Some of the Jin soldiers wanted to send signals, but they couldn't speak clearly. Qiu Mobai shot away the signal flares first.
At this time, there were more than 10,000 Jin soldiers on the hill. It was not enough for Qiu Mobai and his 200 men to kill.
A small number of the Jin people froze to death after falling asleep.
Hua Lingyi and his group had a limited number of experts, so they just quietly went up the hill on one side.
They are killing people everywhere here.
They were soon discovered by the people on the opposite hill.
They sent out flares.
Haleqi in the canyon hurriedly wanted to fight, but he did not see the enemy at the entrance of the canyon.
Instead, they discovered that their enemies had occupied a hill without them noticing.
And we don’t know how many people the other side has.
Haleqi panicked and quickly ordered the soldiers in the canyon to retreat.
But it was dawn now. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
When 20,000 people retreated, everything became chaotic and it turned into a large-scale stampede.
Not only were people unable to retreat, but many were trampled to death or injured.
The deputy general had no choice but to order the torches to be lit and to continue retreating.
But what he didn't know was that these torches became bright targets in the darkness.
