Chapter 918 Under the Iron Hoof (11)
More than ten miles east of Yuanchuan Peak, a large group of Yan Army cavalry was speeding forward. Because of the high speed, the formation was stretched very long.
The leader of the army, Mu Yunba, looked a bit unhappy, and there were obviously some changes that were beyond his control.
Because the Liang army in front of him suddenly accelerated its westward march yesterday and completely lost its trace after night, and his sentry cavalry could not find it no matter how hard they searched.
It was a bit embarrassing for me to be chasing someone, but I lost track of them. The scouts thought that Liang Jun was probably too fast and got rid of their tracking.
Therefore, Mu Yunba concluded that it was Liang's army that attacked Klecha outside Shuofeng City, while the Red Flame Army and Bai Xuewei were speeding towards the battlefield.
So he made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to advance at high speed.
Mu Yunba, whose body rose and fell with the horses, had a sneer on his lips:
"Just wait, I will let you die without a burial this time!"
Behind Mu Yunba's army, about a day's journey away, there was a cavalry army of 5,000 people on the way.
This was the cavalry sent by Baili Shen to meet Mu Yunba. He was worried that Mu Yunba was not calm enough and would cause some trouble.
The leading general of these 5,000 men can be said to be an old acquaintance of the Beiliang Army.
When Beiliang was first established, several grassland tribes joined forces to invade the border of Youzhou, and one of them was the Tatar tribe.
After several battles, the Tatar tribe was completely lost. The tribal leader Malhar died under the knife of the Northern Liang army, but his grandson survived, and even this one was the first.
After returning to the grassland first, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Yanrong and became an officer in the army.
He was also smart and swore loyalty to the prince to the death. Of course, Mu Yunduankang was still the eldest prince at that time.
He also made the right bet first. After Mu Yunduankang became the crown prince, he trusted him deeply and promoted him many times.
He also promised that one day he would regain control of the Tatar tribe and restore the glory of his family.
The man riding the horse also looked indifferent at first. This was the first time he took charge of five thousand cavalry troops in battle after taking refuge with Mu Yunduankang.
No one knows what the future holds.
…
It is quiet as usual in Yuanchuan Peak. At first glance, there is nothing strange. The scenery is still as beautiful.
Qi Guangzheng was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, his eyes slightly closed, with a peaceful expression.
The five thousand Red Flame Army had long been hiding in the valley, and no one could be found unless one looked carefully.
"General! The people are coming!"
A military lieutenant colonel trotted up to Qi Guang and reported.
Qi Guang's eyes suddenly opened and he said in a deep voice: "All troops, prepare for war!"
"promise!"
Suddenly, in the extremely quiet dense forest, a murderous intention surged into the sky.
…
The sound of horse hooves sounded at the valley entrance of Yuanchuan Peak, and the leading cavalry army of a thousand people rushed through in a swaggering manner, without even sending out the most basic sentries.
When Mu Yunba was marching into the valley, he raised his hand and slowed down the army.
The long march made the Yan army a little tired, so Mu Yunba slowed down to let the soldiers take a breath.
"What a ghost. More than 10,000 people just disappeared." Mu Yunba on horseback cursed.
A deputy general rode up on horseback and admonished him rather breathlessly:
"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order. You don't need to chase too hastily. It won't be too late to wait until the Liang army fights with Krecha before taking action. Can our marching speed be slowed down a little?"
"What do you know?"
Mu Yunba frowned and said with a stern tone:
"Liang's army is advancing at such a rapid speed, which means something happened in Krecha. It means that Krecha's 30,000 troops may be in danger. The earlier we arrive, the better our chance of winning!"
"But..." The deputy general hesitated for a moment, still a little worried.
"Stop it."
Mu Yunba waved his hand impatiently: "If the general does not obey military orders abroad, if anything happens, the general will take full responsibility for it!
Don’t forget, the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guards in front are the main force of the Liang Army, so you can weigh it yourself how much credit you deserve by destroying them.”
"promise!"
After hearing what Mu Yunba said, the lieutenant didn't know what to say, but he also felt a little greedy for success.
In fact, Mu Yunba's careful thinking was obvious. The annihilation of the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guard was a great achievement, and he did not want to miss this fat sheep again.
Thinking of this level, Mu Yunba smiled happily again, scanned the valley, pointed to the peaks on both sides and said:
“The scenery here is really nice.”
The lieutenant general also echoed: "The mountains and clear waters are beautiful. If there were a large area of grassland, this would be a good grazing land."
The two were chatting and laughing, and the beautiful scenery made their tiredness dissipate a lot.
The road between these two mountains was very wide and there were no dangerous places. Mu Yunba didn't even have the slightest sense of caution.
"That's wrong~"
The lieutenant suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"General, do you think it's a little too quiet here and a little weird?" The deputy general's eyes rolled.
"Uh, no?" Mu Yunba was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the danger coming.
Suddenly, he saw the deputy general facing him shrinking his pupils and looking horrified.
Mu Yunba's heart trembled for no reason, and he suddenly turned his head to look where the deputy general was looking, only to see the white snow falling from the sky.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The snow-white arrow rain is like flying snow, appearing in this peak spring season.
The black arrow shaft and white arrow tail, mixed with fierce murderous intent, suddenly appeared above Yan Jun's head.
"General, be careful!"
The deputy general shouted angrily, jumped up from his horse, and instantly threw the shocked Mu Yunba to the ground.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Ahhhh~"
Without any sign or warning, arrows filled the sky from the Yuanchuan Peak on the side of the valley.
The Yan army was caught off guard and many fell to the ground due to arrows, and the valley suddenly became chaotic.
Some people were hit by arrows in the thighs, dragging their bloody legs on the ground. The scene was quite tragic.
"Boom!"
"kill!"
The Yan army was not given any time to react. After only seven or eight continuous arrows, groups of Liang army cavalry wearing white armor emerged from the valley.
"General, general, are you okay?"
Several Yan soldiers lifted the embarrassed Mu Yunba up from the ground.
His original mount had been shot into a hornet's nest. If the deputy general hadn't saved him, he would be dead now.
"Be alert! Prepare for war!"
Mu Yunba shouted loudly, the panic in his eyes not completely dissipating.
The Liang Army, which had lost its trace, appeared in the most unlikely place to launch an ambush, which really made Mu Yunba a little confused.
Now he couldn't think about why the Liang army set up an ambush here, he could only repel the ambush first.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"kill!"
Yu Binyang took the lead, with the scimitar flying in his hand, and cut off a barbarian's head, scarlet blood rising into the sky.
Lin Xian held a strong bow in his hand, and three snow-white arrow shafts were placed on the bowstring at the same time. The arrows left the string without any hesitation.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Ah~"
Chapter completed!
