Susu sniped all the scouts on the night of February 27th, and on the morning of February 28th, he shot Murong Jian, who was half a step away from becoming a saint, seriously injuring him with two shots.
Murong Jian escaped back, and Hongniang Xi Hua frowned when she saw the wound - it was a gunshot wound from a flintlock rifle!
Could it be that the magic sword appeared here?
She knew about the flintlock rifle, but she had only heard of the Excalibur.
But according to the Moon Worship Cult, the Divine Sword Army did indeed destroy the 20,000-strong army of the Wilderness Kingdom with only a thousand men in Pingling Mountain. This is enough to illustrate the powerful combat capability of the Divine Sword Army.
It was originally thought that the Excalibur Army had been transferred to the south. No matter how you calculated, it was impossible for them to arrive at the southwest battlefield so quickly.
Xihua frowned as she watched the flickering lights of the lamp.
The blitzkrieg plan that was originally planned seemed to be aborted.
The banner of rebellion has been raised, and there is naturally no turning back now.
Could this long Jinniu Ancient Road be our burial place?
She sat in the general's tent all night without closing her eyes.
The next morning, the rain continued.
She rubbed her stiff face, exhaled a breath of cold air, stood up, and shouted: "Pass on my order, move camp forward!"
When Xi Hua issued this order, the 3,000 mountain division led by Peng Yuyan had already arrived at Qiliping.
Peng Yuyan originally thought that she would meet the main force of the rebels here, but she did not expect that there was no living person in this place except for more than 20 corpses on the ground.
"Where are the people?"
Peng Yuyan squatted on the ground and carefully examined the corpses. They were all killed by sword energy. Among them were five of his own scouts, and the rest were enemy soldiers.
So which side were the people who killed these scouts from?
She sent out scouts again and searched Qiliping carefully, but there was no trace of the enemy. Where did the enemy go?
Is there any other way through the Qinling Mountains?
Peng Yuyan felt nervous. What if the enemy went around to the rear and launched a surprise attack on Yu Chunqiu’s main force...!
She really wanted to turn back, but since she was already here, she decided to go forward for another day and see how it goes.
"Scout camp Guan Xiaoxi, listen to the order!"
"I will be here!"
"This general orders you to take thirty scouts and march around the mountains. You must return in half a day!"
"I obey your orders!"
Thirty scouts left the team and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Another half hour passed, and the main force of the 3,000 Mountain Division also entered the forest. Qiliping fell into silence, and not even the sound of crows or birds could be heard.
Just as Peng Yuyan's troops arrived at Qiliping, the 3rd Divine Sword Brigade arrived at Dayan Valley.
Yu Chunqiu was shocked - Damn, when did the enemy get behind me?
"Enemy attack! Cavalry regiments assemble, turn the guns, and prepare to fire!"
With his order, the 150,000-strong army fell into chaos. Su Mo was depressed because he didn't know Yu Chunqiu and Yu Chunqiu didn't know him either.
He quickly shouted, "General Yu, we are from Fu Xiaoguan's team!"
Yu Chunqiu was shocked. Fu Xiaoguan’s team?
Excalibur?
The First Divine Sword Brigade went to the border town, and the Second Divine Sword Brigade has probably just recruited all its personnel. How can Fu Xiaoguan still have a team?
"Is there any evidence?"
This... Su Mo has absolutely no evidence. Fu Xiaoguan is still behind him and no one knows how far away he is.
"My Lord Xiaoguan is here too. If the General doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate, but we need to borrow a road to get there."
Fu Xiaoguan is here too?
Yu Chunqiu was stunned, thinking to himself, I just received the document urgently sent by Fu Xiaoguan, how could he possibly come to this place? There must be something fishy going on here!
"It's impossible to borrow someone's passage. You all should retreat immediately. If Fu Xiaoguan really comes, then we'll wait until he arrives!"
Su Mo was depressed. We had marched so far to help you fight, but you still didn't believe us... What should we do?
Su Jue patted his shoulder and said, "We don't have a token. It's normal for the general to be worried about a trick. Let's go over the mountain and bypass Dayan Valley."
So, under the watchful eyes of Yu Chunqiu and the other 150,000 troops, all the members of this team took off and swooped into the mountains on one side like falcons. In just half a cup of tea, they disappeared completely.
Yu Chunqiu was suddenly shocked. This was a team composed of martial arts masters!
Could it be that Fu Xiaoguan had brought in the Blood-Clothed Guards of the Wu Dynasty?
That doesn't make sense. The Wu Dynasty is thousands of miles away from here. It's only been a few days since we received the letter from Fu Xiaoguan. Even if the Blood-Clothed Guards had wings, they couldn't be so fast. What kind of army is this?
Detouring Dayan Valley delayed the Divine Sword Third Brigade for half a day. When they arrived at Qiliping, it was already late at night on February 29th.
At this moment, Peng Yuyan finally found the main force of the enemy!
Three thousand mountain troops were hiding in the mountains and forests, while the enemy troops were running on the Jinniu Ancient Road.
The scouts sent out by Xi Huashe did not discover Peng Yuyan's troops in the depths of the forest, and Peng Yuyan did not notice that there was a Su Su sitting on a big tree more than ten feet away from them.
Susu was injured in a battle with Murong Jian, and she hid in this tree to heal her wounds.
Her zither was split into two halves by Murong Jian, so she buried the magical zither that had accompanied her for many years. The so-called magical artifact has now been replaced by another magical artifact.
A gun in hand is far more powerful than a zither.
Peng Yuyan's attention was all on the army on the Jinniu Ancient Road. It took a full hour for the army to pass through completely, but she frowned.
Wrong quantity!
This army has a maximum of 150,000 people, while the western border troops should have at least 300,000 people. Could it be that the remaining 150,000 are guarding Qipan Pass?
Peng Yuyan thought for a moment and rejected the idea.
The enemy's front army and the southern border army were only evenly matched in strength, but the southern border army was well-rested and had made all necessary arrangements, giving it a tactical advantage.
It was impossible for Xue Dingshan to leave 150,000 men at Qipan Pass and let the vanguard army fight a battle that they were not sure of winning.
Therefore, the vanguard should stay at Qiliping and wait for the arrival of the rearguard.
In this case, we will not alert the enemy and let these hundreds of thousands of vanguard troops pass. I, the general, will lead 3,000 men to intercept Xue Dingshan's rear army!
Having made up his mind, Peng Yuyan led 3,000 people and continued to rush towards Qipan Pass.
Hongniang Xihua also had doubts in her mind while riding on her horse. The front army had been delayed at Qipan Pass for three days. She wanted to seize this opportunity, but the scouts reported that Yu Chunqiu's troops had already formed their battle formation in Dayan Valley.
She knew that the fighter plane had disappeared, so she set up camp and waited for a whole day.
According to the time calculation, Xue Dingshan should have arrived with the rear army, but there is still no news of the rear army.
Could something have happened in the rear?
Just as she was wondering, one of the scouts sent to the rear came back.
The man flew in front of Xi Hua and whispered something. Xi Hua's rouge-painted face suddenly turned pale!
"Madam! Fei An has assembled an army of 400,000 in Linzi. The general said... Jianzhou is in danger!"
