Chapter 277 A big battle! Fighting in front of Sunset Slope
The wound on Wen Ziduan's shoulder was bleeding because of talking loudly, but he didn't care about it anymore.
"Young Master, will Jin Jianxiong really come?" Gu Guan's wound was not deep and the poison was completely removed. He was now alive and kicking. When he learned that Wen Ziduan had lost half his life to save him, he now looked at Wen Ziduan as closely as if he were the apple of his eye, fearing that he would make another mistake.
Wen Ziduan rode on horseback, looking around with a telescope. "Yes, my father has issued five imperial edicts in a row. The soldiers have already guarded several important roads. If he wants to leave Qianwei County, he has no choice but to go through Dangyang Mountain."
Wen Ziduan was now dressed up, and no one could tell he was a patient still recovering from a serious injury. Now that Lan Yan, the leader of the Qielan tribe, had been captured, and as the two armies faced off, Wen Ziduan decided to personally go and exchange hostages, at least to get back Yubita's youngest son, Nuozan.
"Pass the message, the vanguard of the Ba County soldiers led by He Yue, stand in full battle formation and await the command!"
Wen Ziduan gave an order, and someone beside the carriage waved a flag and passed the order to the messenger on the platform. In an instant, the black and white grids on all sides kept moving, and the order spread throughout the entire military camp so quickly.
But soon, a fierce drumbeat was heard. The scout read the flag signal and his face suddenly changed. He immediately reported to Wen Ziduan, "Report! General He Yue engaged in close combat with the vanguard sent by Jin Jianxiong at Sunset Slope. Among them were Qilan people wielding scimitars, numbering over ten thousand!"
Before he could say anything, another flag signal came, and the man's face looked even worse: "Report! General He Yue has charged into the enemy camp alone! He's going straight for the enemy's center!"
Wen Ziduan was horrified. What could have happened that would cause He Yue to no longer hide and wait until after negotiations before starting the war, but instead lead the charge and charge into the Qie Lan camp?!
"Hurry and send a message. Order General Liang, who is guarding the bamboo forest at Sunset Slope, to go and provide support. Make sure General He Yue returns safely! Wait! Zhaojun has something to say."
He Zhaojun was also holding a telescope at the side. She could directly understand the flag language on the high platform. Now she also pulled up the apricot yellow flag and waved it to send a message to Wen Ziduan.
"First, have General Liang and the other soldiers retreat to Sunset Slope!"
Here, He Zhaojun, holding a telescope, saw a very obvious red curve in the sky rising from the enemy's army. She knew that it was her brother sending a signal. At a command, the Fiery Flag had already prepared flares filled with fierce incendiary oil, and shot a net of arrows in the direction of her apricot yellow flag.
He Yue, who was in the enemy camp, was now surrounded. With a thrust of his spear, he knocked away several Qilan soldiers who had surrounded him with scimitars, and knocked down the rebels beside him.
He did not linger, but turned his horse around. He only heard the hum of arrows in his ears, and a continuous rain of fire came at him, hitting the people in the encirclement in front of him.
The inextinguishable strange fire and the barrage of arrows, with nowhere to hide, caused heavy casualties to Jin Jianxiong's vanguard. Meanwhile, He Yue was struggling to push aside the wailing soldiers rolling on the ground, searching everywhere—he was looking for Nuozan, Yubita's youngest son, who had been abducted by Qie Lan.
An informant in the army reported that the Qilan soldiers had no intention of handing over the child. The nurse who had been feeding Nozan had been brutally murdered when they abducted him. Now, Nozan hadn't eaten in a long time and had a high fever. His condition was not optimistic.
If the negotiations were slow and the other party deliberately delayed, Lan Yan, a grown man, could wait, but Nuo Zan couldn't. When He Yue received this news, he decided to rescue the baby.
He Yue galloped towards the opposite side without hesitation and penetrated deeper into the enemy camp again.
