Chapter 924 Return to Linyi Valley
In a valley, tens of thousands of cavalry were marching rapidly, with red armor in front and white armor behind, majestic.
The army moved forward in a long snake formation, with crossbowmen constantly patrolling the front, looking nervous and alert.
Qi Guang, the leader, suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Stop!"
"Ouch!"
Thousands of cavalrymen neatly reined in their reins and stood still.
After the encirclement and annihilation battle at Yuanchuan Peak, according to the plan, the Red Flame Army and Bai Xuewei should return directly to Shiwuguan.
But halfway through, Qi Guang suddenly changed his mind. Instead of returning to Wuguan, he took the road directly to the north and came to this place that was unforgettable for the Red Flame Army.
Linyi Valley!
Linyi Valley is behind the Yan Army's camp. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of crises. Moreover, at this time, both the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guards have gone through a great battle and are physically exhausted.
Qi Guang's decision can be said to be quite risky. However, Yu Binyang and Lin Xian did not stop it and supported Qi Guang's proposal unconditionally.
They knew that the Red Flame Army would definitely make this trip, and even if Chen Yue were here, they would agree.
Han Bo took the lead in riding his horse out into the battle, followed closely by Yue Mo and five to six hundred soldiers, almost all of whom were covered in blood.
These people all escaped from the Linyi Valley battlefield last time, and none of them came back with their lives, because their fellow generals gave them hope of survival.
The Red Flame Army that originally withdrew from Linyi Valley probably numbered nearly a thousand people, but at Yuanchuan Peak, hundreds more were killed.
These hundreds of soldiers are the most ruthless on the battlefield. They have no regard for their own lives and are just doing the same thing.
Kill the enemy ~ kill the enemy!
Now, they are back with news of a great victory.
Nearly two months have passed, but traces of the battle are still preserved in Linyi Valley, with many corpses lying exposed and battered in the wilderness.
There were those from the Yan army and those from the Liang army. Wind, frost, rain, snow, and yellow sand could not erase the iron bones of the soldiers.
The charred blackness caused by the fire on the cliffs on both sides is still clearly visible, but new vines have sprouted a little bit of new green, symbolizing vitality.
Han Bai dismounted and took out a bundle from the horse's back. The blood seeping out of it had long since dried up.
It’s not considered a baggage, it’s a military flag of the Yan Army, and inside it is the head of the general Mu Yunba~
There were more than a dozen soldiers behind him who also followed the same example, carrying a bloody human head and walking slowly forward. However, the heads they chopped off were those of the generals and captains in the army...
"Chichi~"
Han Bai picked up a spear from the yellow sand. The red barrel revealed that it was the standard weapon of the Red Flame Army.
Its original owner might have been just an ordinary cavalryman of the Red Flame Army, or he might have been a lieutenant general who had experienced many battles and had made numerous meritorious deeds, but no matter who he was, he was buried outside the Pass at this time.
The breeze blew through the valley, and rows of spears were stuck on the slopes on the side of Linyi Valley, with heads on the spear tips.
The scene is bloody, breathtaking, and the atmosphere is extremely solemn.
Thousands of Red Flame Army soldiers have all dismounted and are waiting in formation.
Qi Guang and Han Bai stood at the front, and a few steps behind were the hundreds of soldiers who had survived from Linyi Valley.
"Red Flame General!"
Qi Guang shouted angrily, knelt down on one knee and raised his arms high.
"boom!"
Thousands of Red Flame Army soldiers all knelt down on one knee, made a fist with their right hand, and smashed it hard on the blood-stained breastplate.
Beiliang Military Salute!
"boom!"
"rub!"
The Snow Guard soldiers drew their swords in salute, and the sharp blade brought a bit of coolness to this spring.
Qi Guang looked up to the sky and roared:
"Hun Xi Po Xi!"
Han Bo then shouted angrily: "The heroic spirit returns home!"
"boom!"
Thousands of soldiers roared in unison:
"Homecoming! Homecoming! Homecoming!"
"boom!"
The journey is long and the sand is sparse.
May the spirits of Beiliang return to their hometown~
…
The battlefield at Yuanchuan Peak had long fallen into silence, but this morning there were more than a hundred cavalry figures, and the leader was Ye Xian.
He first looked at the blood-soaked eyes with solemn eyes.
After facing Bai Xuewei's retreat without a fight, he still felt a little uneasy after thinking about it, so he was not in a hurry to withdraw to the camp. He wanted to see how the war developed.
After confirming that the Liang army had left, he first ordered the thousands of cavalry under his command to garrison in place, while he led hundreds of fine cavalry to gallop all the way to this place.
Before setting foot on the battlefield in front of the valley entrance of Yuanchuan Peak, I had already seen the scattered corpses of the Yan army. Most of them were killed by arrows, probably at the hands of Bai Xuewei.
When they arrived at the mouth of the valley, even though they had expected it, they were still stunned by the scene in front of them.
The corpses all over the ground exuded a stench, the weapons scattered everywhere were buried in the blood, and some of the horses that were still alive were howling miserably.
Tragic, too tragic!
In front of Ye Xian was a headless corpse covered by a gray tarpaulin. If it weren't for the bright armor that caught people's attention, Ye Xian would never have found Mu Yunba's body.
After Mu Yunba died, Ye Xian should have felt a little relieved in his heart, but the tragic defeat in front of him really made him unhappy.
The deputy general walked up to Ye Xian with a pale face and whispered: "General, there are no survivors, and many headless corpses were found. They should all be officers such as the captain and captain."
"The Liang Army is seeking revenge~" Ye Xian lamented: "The person who ambushed the Red Flame Army in Linyi Valley at the end of last year happened to be General Mu Yun."
"You bastard, Liang Jun was too cruel~" the deputy general cursed, venting the panic in his heart.
Ye first said in a deep voice: "War on the battlefield is how it should be. Either you die or I die. There is nothing to say."
The lieutenant general remained silent.
"Da da da~"
A series of black dots appeared in the distance, flying towards Ye Xian and others.
"Here's the news~" He squinted his eyes and looked at the team of scouts, which he sent to the direction of Shuofeng City to inquire about the military situation.
If the Liang army wanted to take action against Krecha after encircling and annihilating Mu Yunba, they would really have to use the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind, which would definitely have an unexpected effect.
"General, we've found out." The middle-aged commander shouted with his fists on the horse, his face looked tired and his lips were chapped.
In order to rush to Shuofeng City as soon as possible to investigate the military situation, he and his scouts traveled continuously for two days and one night, and several of their horses were exhausted.
"How's it going?" Ye asked eagerly.
"There is no movement at General Klie's camp, and the Liang army has not rushed to Shuofeng City at all."
"Sure enough, I guessed it right!" He slapped his thigh fiercely first.
This was exactly the same as what he had guessed when he had just met Bai Xuewei. The so-called attack on Shuofeng City was just a cover.
"Gulu~" the deputy general swallowed and said cautiously: "General, let's go back. If the Liang army targets us again, it won't be good."
