In fact, it would not take 20,000 troops to capture only two assassins. Qi Sheng was just preventing them from secretly bringing troops, so he brought all the troops out to encircle and suppress them.
But Qi Sheng never expected that two people would actually come from the other side.
These two men lured out his 20,000 men, completely exposed on the hillsides and valleys, and became sitting ducks for the Divine Bow Camp.
The archers of the Divine Bow Camp shot their arrows accurately, and large numbers of Northern Yan soldiers fell down, with screams ringing out.
There were also archers among them, and they tried to shoot back at the army on the mountains. However, the army's attacks were too fierce and too intensive, with rounds one after another coming one after another without any gaps, and they had almost no room to fight back.
Even if you draw the bow, you can't hit the target.
Qi Sheng was so angry that he vomited blood.
He knew that he couldn't go on like this. Wei Ting's archers had the advantage of the terrain. As everyone knows, the range of shooting downwards and shooting upwards is different.
They were exposed to the shooting range of the enemy archers, but the enemy was outside their range, which was a huge disadvantage.
It’s not that they couldn’t kill their way up, but the hillside was too steep, and they were all shot dead on the way before they could even start fighting.
As a last resort, Qi Sheng issued the order to retreat.
At the same time, Qi Sheng also set his sights on Su Xiaoxiao and the other two at the foot of the mountain.
"Catch the three of them!"
An army of 20,000 is more than enough to capture the three of them.
Wei Ting's army was far away, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage, because they did not have time to rescue the three hostages.
The Northern Yan army pounced on Su Xiaoxiao and the other two like mad hounds.
Just when they were about to bite, two teams of cavalry suddenly appeared from behind the hillsides on both sides. Not only were the soldiers wearing armor, but even their horses were wearing sharp helmets and covered in armor that shone with cold light.
The iron cavalry, holding spears, seemed to come through the void, and rushed towards Qi Sheng's Northern Yan army with the force of mountains and rivers.
The unparalleled combat power of the heavy cavalry was fully demonstrated at this moment.
They pierced the heads of the Northern Yan army and broke their spines, and their wailing cries echoed throughout the valley.
"General! I will escort you away!"
A trusted master fought his way to Qi Sheng's side.
Qi Sheng killed a cavalryman from the Great Zhou with one sword, but in just a blink of an eye, dozens of cavalrymen rushed up.
At this moment, he had to admit that the situation was hopeless.
He fled into the mountains with his trusted masters.
In order to protect him, his trusted master was caught up by the cavalry and died under the cavalry's spears.
Qi Sheng gritted his teeth and continued to run forward.
He swore that once he escaped, he would come back one day and chop off Wei Ting's head!
He had not taken a few steps into the woods when he suddenly saw a dark figure standing in front of him, holding a sword, motionless.
He was so frightened that he almost thought he saw a ghost.
"Who are you?"
he asked warily.
The other party did not turn around, and the back of his head covered by the black hat exuded endless arrogance: "How can you, a mortal, be worthy of asking the name of God?"
Qi Sheng: This guy might have some serious illness! Qi Sheng looked at him suspiciously. He didn't look very smart, so he shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
He first fired several hidden weapons, then used the hidden weapons as a cover to perform Qinggong and leaped up, stabbing fiercely at the opponent's back! Yuchi Xiu stomped his heels, flew into the air, did a backflip, and landed steadily on his sword.
Still with her back to him.
Just as Qi Sheng looked up at him, wanting to see if this guy was too ugly to face people, Yuchi Xiu turned in the air and kicked him in the face, sending him flying. He fell heavily on the snow, spitting out blood.
Yuchi Xiu looked at the long sword in his hand and squinted his eyes with satisfaction: "Today, I can finally kill as many people as I want!"
Feel the wrath of the second killer on the killer list! This killer has been waiting for this day for a long time!
Yuchi Xiu concentrated his energy into his dantian and slashed towards Qi Sheng with a powerful move.
"Leave him alive."
Su Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly rang out.
Yuchi Xiu's breath stagnated, and his ultimate move that was halfway through came to a sudden halt. He stumbled and fell deeply into the snow, unable to get up.
What's going on? Are you going to let me be a killer happily?
The hunt continued, and screams of Northern Yan soldiers could be heard continuously.
Su Xiaoxiao came to Qi Sheng indifferently, looking down at him, holding a nine-section whip with barbs in her hand: "I said, I will take it back."
…
When Su Xiaoxiao came out of the woods, the battle at the foot of the mountain was nearing its end. Some of the Northern Yan army was killed, and some was escaping. Wei Ting gave the order not to let any one go, and the cavalry were chasing everywhere.
Wei Ting came over on horseback.
He came to Su Xiaoxiao, who was covered in blood.
"Injured?" he asked.
"No, it's not my blood." Su Xiaoxiao said.
She glanced at Su Mo and Jing Yi beside her: "Are you okay?"
Su Mo glanced at Jing Yi on his back and said, "He looks a little weak."
Wei Ting took off his armor and put it on her cold armor, and tied the ribbon for her with his slender jade-like fingertips.
A cavalryman gave his horse to Su Mo.
Su Mo took Jing Yi and sat on it.
Wei Ting stretched out his hand to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao gave him her hand and was gently pulled onto the horse's back.
Wei Ting held her in his arms, held the reins with both hands, and said softly, "I'll take you back first, Jia County?"
"瓮城." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Her little back was straight, Wei Ting put his arms around her waist and let her lean on his chest.
"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, "The news from Wuzhen was wrong. I thought you were ambushed."
"There was indeed an ambush." Wei Ting said, "Helian Ye guessed that I would come to assassinate him, and secretly set up a trap. Little Fatty Peacock, I almost couldn't come back."
Su Xiaoxiao was immersed in the joy of his return, but a cry of "little fat peacock" made her face turn black on the spot!
Why does a handsome guy have to have a big mouth? ! "What's the matter with Yuchi Xiu and those soldiers?" Su Mo asked. He remembered that Yuchi Xiu was sent to Qingzhou by Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao was angry, and the whole back of her head said “You are the little fat peacock!”
Wei Ting rubbed her little head with amusement and said to Su Mo, "When I set out from the capital to the border, I sent a pigeon to Yuchi Xiu, asking him to bring the 10,000 troops secretly trained by my grandfather to the north to join me. He did not pass through the capital, but came through Tongzhou."
Yuchi Xiu went to Qingzhou, ostensibly to deliver the King of Nanyang's relics to Master Huijue, but in fact he was also going to recruit soldiers. He stayed in Qingzhou without returning, of course because of Su Yu Niang, but more importantly, he was waiting for Wei Ting's order.
Su Mo paused: "Just now... there were more than just your troops, right?"
Wei Ting said, "You mean the cavalry? I came back from Wuzhen and immediately went to meet Yuchi Xiu. Halfway through, we encountered a heavy snowfall that blocked the mountain, and there we ran into the Qin family army that was also blocked."
"How can they obey your orders?"
Su Mo had seen the Qin family army before. Unless his great-uncle gave the order personally, the Qin family army would not obey anyone's orders.
Wei Ting said calmly: "Oh, I said I am their uncle."
Su Mo: “…”
You really have some shame.
