Chapter 221: Front and Back Attack
They were going to hurry back to Beilin, so they traveled fast all the way. The carriage was used to confuse people, and after leaving the city, they took another road.
Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou have been resting in the tent these days. Autumn is coming to an end and the nights are very cool. They have spread mattresses on top of the hay.
The two of them slept in each other's arms, but these days, they were so busy that they still didn't cross the line of physical intimacy.
There was fog in the mountains when I got up in the morning.
Xie Tingzhou looked around and gave the order to march immediately.
The mountains were filled with fog and the woods were crowded with people.
One person moved, and immediately there was a rustling sound of dead leaves being pressed.
"Don't fucking move." The leader shouted, and when he listened carefully, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
The people lying nearby were startled by the sound of the noise, "Brother, there are quite a few people."
The leader stared at the direction they came from, "Why are you afraid? They are only a few thousand people."
"But, but that's the Qingyun Guard." said Fan Lao Er.
Fan Xingjian turned his head and looked at him. "We are trying to boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige. Although we are not as well-trained as them, our numbers are twice as many as theirs. Once they enter the valley, we will block both ends and trap them in this valley. We will surround and fight them. I don't believe this won't work."
Fan Lao Er wanted to say something: "But..."
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer.
"Shut up!" Fan Xingjian pressed down Fan Laoer's head.
Looking at the huge group of people rushing towards him, Fan Xingjian couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
This regular army is a regular army, and its momentum is different from those bandits.
The team was getting closer, and the ground was shaking with the sound of horses' hooves.
A Saker Falcon glided through the air, followed by a long eagle cry.
The Qingyunwei team gradually stopped.
"Not good." Fan Xingjian cursed, "Fuck it.
, was discovered, and actually forgot about Xie Tingzhou's Saker Falcon. "
Fan Laoer was so frightened that he was at a loss for words. "They haven't entered the mountain yet. Why don't we retreat?"
Fan Xingjian was a little hesitant. If he retreated at this moment, Xie Tingzhou's Qingyun Guards would not be familiar with the terrain and would not rashly pursue him. He probably didn't know who ambushed him, and he wouldn't be able to find anyone to seek revenge.
When Fan Xingjian thought about this, he began to feel like backing off.
Before they could make up their minds, the cavalry in front automatically split up on both sides and made way.
With the sound of horse hooves, a handsome man gradually appeared in everyone's sight. His leisurely posture did not seem like he was in a hurry, but rather like he was strolling in the spring in the misty waves of the south of the Yangtze River.
Xie Tingzhou held the reins, looked around, and asked loudly, "Who is leading today, Fan Xingjian or Fan Xingwang?"
Fan Xingjian's face had become somewhat ferocious. He did not dare to show his head. He leaned against the slope and thought to himself, it seems that Xie Tingzhou already knows who he is. If he does not kill them today, he will be beaten into a pulp by Beilin tomorrow.
Fan Xingjian had a plan in mind, and said loudly: "It turns out that it is the prince of Beilin who has come. Sorry, I made a mistake. Prince, please take the people over."
Xie Tingzhou smiled, his face showing a bit of suspense, "Do you think I'm a fool? If I bring people over, wouldn't that be exactly what you want?"
The horse seemed to sense the danger as well, paddling its front hooves restlessly.
Xie Tingzhou pulled the reins and strolled around leisurely, saying, "Let me guess, you must have more people than me, at least twice as many, to be able to compete with my Qingyun Guard. As far as I know, you only had 5,000 people not long ago. The extra people should be the motley crowd you recruited recently."
"Even so, you are not sure that you can defeat my six thousand Qingyun Guards, so you will not fight me head-on."
Xie Tingzhou looked ahead and said, "The terrain here is good, with mountains on both sides. If we block the two ends, we can trap people inside. You are quite good at this."
Mind. "
With every word Xie Tingzhou spoke, Fan Xingjian's face grew darker.
Fan Xingjian stood up and looked down at the people below, "Your Highness is right. I don't think I can win this battle. I might as well do you a favor and let you go."
Xie Tingzhou laughed, "Aren't you afraid that I will turn around and bring the Qingyun Guards to flatten your mountain?"
Fan Xingjian's cheeks twitched when he was hit on the heart, and then he smiled and said, "The prince is naturally not such a person."
"Unfortunately, I am." Xie Tingzhou said slowly, "I am vindictive and petty, not as magnanimous as you say. Besides, if I lead the troops across the valley as you wish, it should be exactly what you want, right? There is a good ambush place ahead."
When Fan Xingjian saw that all his plans had been exposed, he knew that a feud had been formed.
"Brother, what should we do?" asked Fan Lao Er.
"What should we do?" Fan Xingjian's eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fight them. We have the advantage in numbers."
He raised his hand and pointed downwards, "Charge for me! I'll give you one or two taels of silver for every head you kill!"
Shouts of killing were heard everywhere in the surrounding areas, and dense groups of bandits rushed down the mountains with knives in their hands.
Xifeng took the lead and led his men around the slope, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
The sounds of weapons, screams, and roars echoed in the valley.
Fan Xingjian stood on a high place, watching the people below being harvested one after another by the Qingyun Guards like weeds.
But they had the geographical advantage and did not make things easy for Qingyunwei.
Fan Xingjian looked at Xie Tingzhou who was standing still in the chaos, and suddenly remembered that he didn't see another person beside him.
The daughter of Shen Zhongan, formerly known as Chen Yu, the Marquis of Yu.
He searched quickly in the crowd, but indeed found no one. The person that Xie Tingzhou had specially rushed to Hezhou to pick up could not have been with them.
Where is that person?
Fan Xingjian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
