Chapter 2140 [Shangxie] Don’t you want revenge?
Facing the stiff expressions of the two, Xia Fuyi remained indifferent and continued to explain,
"The armor and weapons of the soldiers guarding the mountaintop were stained with blood, clearly having been in a fierce battle not long ago."
"The soldiers of Jinliang and Dayuan are still stuck in a stalemate with the Chiwei army. It's impossible for them to arrive here in three days. Besides that, the only other possible battles that took place recently were the Wensu reinforcements and the two hundred Xuanyi Guards sent by the emperor."
"The original route of the Wensu army did not pass through here, but after they encountered the ambush of the Xuanyi Guard, they became alert. To avoid being ambushed by us again, they changed their route. It happened to rain when they passed through this canyon, so they went in to take shelter and rest for a while."
Qingze and Liantang didn't say anything.
Their faces looked very ugly.
If Xia Fuyi's analysis is correct, then it means that the two hundred Xuanyi Guards must have been sacrificed.
Xia Fuyi took their expressions in her eyes and lowered her eyelashes slightly.
“They’re doing a great job,”
She said seriously in a cold voice,
"Being able to frighten a hundred thousand troops to the point of changing their route shows that their ambush was very successful and completely achieved its purpose of delaying the enemy."
Xia Fuyi turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the canyon, her eyes like snow-white ice knives.
"Those soldiers were very frugal with their food and water. If I'm right, the Xuanyi Guards must have destroyed their food supplies. So they can only rest for two days at most. After two days, or even less, they'll have to rush to the battlefield and get supplies from Jin Liang."
"During this period, we have to find a way to continue delaying them, or even make them die here."
The wind blew up some of the girl's black hair. The girl's eyes, which were beautiful and soft in shape, looked indestructibly sharp and cold.
Then she looked at the two people opposite with such eyes and said softly,
"Don't you want to avenge those dead Xuanyi Guards?"
The yellow sand was blown up by the wind. The horse pulled its hooves out of the sand pit and took a few steps back along the wind. At the same time, it opened its mouth and was about to let out a long neigh, but a dagger was inserted into its neck as fast as lightning, cutting off its vocal tract.
The cry and its life were cut off in its throat.
Large streams of blood continued to flow out from the horse's neck, staining the white and slender hand red.
The horses fell into the yellow sand. Before Lian Tang and Qingze could express their surprise, they saw the other two horses raising their front hooves in fright.
They stepped forward reflexively, drew their swords and cut the throats of their horses, cutting off the neighing that would have been enough to alert the army in the canyon.
When they came to their senses, the three horses were already dead, and they couldn't go back even if they wanted to.
Qingze smiled bitterly and looked at Xia Fuyi, who had a cold expression on her face.
The girl was wiping the blood off her hands, her eyelids drooping, looking a little careless.
"I remember from the map we saw before we came here that the interior of this canyon should be a spacious flat land."
Since there was no way out, Qingze quickly got into the state. After thinking for a moment, he said,
"It must be the heavy rain that caused rocks to roll down, creating a clearing inside the canyon. It was like a decoy for them. If the footprints hadn't faded completely, we might have gone in without noticing."
As Qingze said this, he began to feel a little scared.
The terrain here has changed. Even if they enter the canyon, they will not be able to find the soldiers in the narrow gap at the first time. Instead, they will be exposed to the enemy's eyes. If they come a little later, the footprints on the ground may be completely covered by the sand, and they will really be stuck in a dead end.
