Chapter Thirty-Six: The Game of Life and Death Is Uncertain
Feng Qingge held Xue Meitong's shoulders and comforted her warmly, "Tongtong, Zu Hai said that this rainstorm will last for three days. If you feel bored, just sleep for a while. I will wake you up when it's time to eat.
"
"I feel like I've become more and more lazy recently." Xue Meitong muttered, turned over, and lay facing Feng Qingge. She played with Feng Qingge's silky silk hair and muttered: "Eat enough
Sleep, wake up and eat, I will soon turn into a pig!"
Fingertips lightly scratched Xue Meitong's little nose, Feng Qingge smiled fondly and said, "I don't mind raising you as a piglet."
There is a faint worry in the bottom of my heart. Although after what happened last time, the poison in Xuemei Tong's body has been very peaceful these days, and there is no sign of activity. However, there is no guarantee that once it attacks, it will not be more dangerous than last time.
Moreover, Xue Meitong seems to be very lazy recently, always feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep...
This is not a good sign!
Xuemei Tong's lips trembled, and she nodded and replied: "Okay! I'll sleep for a while! If there is any new situation, you must tell me!"
Feng Qingge promised warmly, "Okay!"
The first day was very peaceful and nothing special happened.
On the second and third days, it was still raining heavily. Yi Shengtian was still very calm and there was no movement. It seemed that everyone was waiting for the sky to clear up.
On the fourth day, as Zu Hai said, the fog was so thick that it was difficult to see even one's fingers. It would be very detrimental to oneself to attack rashly in such weather, so there was still no movement from Yi Shengtian's side.
After surviving the first four days, the most dangerous fifth day finally arrived.
In the early morning, the first ray of golden light came, dispersing the dark clouds for many days. It was sunny today, and a head-on confrontation was inevitable. Feng Qing's soldiers were already ready to go, and their cavalry were majestic, telling their determination to fight.
In the early morning, there was no mist in the valley, only a chilling atmosphere rising into the sky.
"Tongtong, be careful!"
Feng Qingge's instructions before leaving still lingered in her ears, and Xue Meitong knew that today would be a life-and-death struggle. If she won, she would be safe for a short time, but if she lost, blood would be splashed on the battlefield, and tomorrow's sun would never be seen again.
The long and narrow valley is the only open space. There are towering peaks on both sides, dense jungles, and tall trees and grass covering the rocks, leaving only endless green and profound scenery as far as the eye can see.
The carriage stayed on the top of a high mountain, so that the situation in front could be seen clearly, and it could also be easily glimpsed by others.
Xue Meitong sat calmly in the carriage, listening to the loud shouts outside the carriage, watching the flags and wind hunting, the war horses galloping, the cold light and iron armor, and the flesh and blood flying everywhere.
War is tragic.
A war with hundreds of enemies is even more brutal.
The enemy's commander-in-chief, Yi Shengtian, was sitting high on his horse, with a majestic figure. The horse was ready to move beneath him, and he was bursting with arrogance. The flag was flying behind him, and a big "Yi" character said everything.
Lei Sheng clamped his legs under the horse's belly and rushed straight to the front of the formation. He pointed the spear in his hand at Yi Shengtian and laughed loudly, "Young boy from Tianji Kingdom, how dare you invade our borders! Your Grandpa Lei will make it impossible for you to come back!"
Behind him, war drums thundered, resounding through the sky.
The steps on the ground strengthen oneself and intimidate others.
There is no individual challenge, but hundreds of cavalry attack together. Lei Sheng wants to fulfill his promise and let these tens of thousands of enemy troops see that the cavalry of the God of War, one against a hundred, is invincible and has no intention of retreating.
Have no regrets and move forward bravely.
The bravery of the cavalry shocked the enemy. Xue Meitong saw from a distance that the expressions on the faces of the Tianji Kingdom soldiers changed. They became cowed and afraid of retreating. The moment of retreat doomed their fate of failure. Spear
Sweeping across the neck, blood flew everywhere, heads were missing, and hundreds of soldiers fell in the blink of an eye.
On the top of the mountain, the branches swayed and the grass and trees trembled.
The bow strings were drawn, and the flying emperor was like rain. Arrows shot through the air on the mountain roads on both sides, heading in the direction of the enemy commander. Although they did not hit Yi Shengtian, they caused the row of guarding soldiers in front of him to fall.
The sudden and violent attack caused Yi Shengtian's expression to change, his eyes to flash, and the soldiers of Tianji Kingdom to lose their pace, formation, voice, and morale.
Xue Meitong knew that if the army is in disarray, the battle will be lost.
"kill--"
"Kill Yi Shengtian——"
"Drive the traitors from Tianji Kingdom out of Fengyu Kingdom——"
On the top of the mountain, the shouts shook the sky. The cavalry rushed into the chaotic enemy soldiers, rain of blood poured down, and wailings filled the fields.
Xue Meitong put down the car curtain, sat back calmly, and poured tea, knowing that the outcome of today's battle was determined.
"When-when-when-"
Sure enough, the clear sound of gold ringing came from the rear of the Tianji Kingdom army, and the scattered Tianji Kingdom army could no longer care about seeing anything clearly, and ran back and forth frantically.
At the same time, the sound of gold could also be heard from Feng Qingge's camp at the rear, and Lei Sheng led hundreds of cavalry to retreat unwillingly.
…
"Success!"
Lei Sheng couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Looking at the enemies retreating like a tide, he laughed boldly and said: "It was successful - I didn't expect it to be successful - the prince's plan is really powerful! These bastards are really scared by us.
Run away! Hahahahahahahahahaha——"
Yun Yi smiled brightly, "Thanks to the princess's ingenious idea, she came up with the idea of connecting all the vegetation on the hillside with ropes, and then pulled them into the hands of the soldiers. When one person pulled the rope, dozens of trees swayed, making it look like thousands of people were there.
I laid an ambush on the top of the mountain and sent dozens of sharpshooters to pierce the Yangtze River with a hundred steps and fire several arrows. Unexpectedly, I actually scared them away."
"Hahahahaha! The princess's clever plan! The princess's clever plan!"
Xue Meitong said humbly: "It depends on General Lei's might and bravery to frighten the opponent and make the opponent abandon his armor and flee in defeat."
Feng Qingge smiled and touched Xue Meitong's hair. He was really impressed by Xue Meitong's strategy and wit. However, even though he won the battle, it still couldn't alleviate his worries. "According to my opinion of Yi Shengtian,
Understand that today's failure will definitely arouse his strong desire to win, and he will definitely find a way to save the defeat. Tonight, he is very likely to send troops to attack!"
"Sneak attack?" Lei Sheng patted his chest and assured, "Don't be afraid! They will kill one by one, or a pair of pairs! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my subordinates will surely lead their troops to guard this 'line of sky'!"
Xue Meitong shook her head and objected, "No! It is not appropriate for us to have a head-on conflict with the enemy!"
Zu Hai said meaningfully, "It will be foggy tonight."
"It's foggy?" Xue Meitong raised her eyebrows, and a sudden idea came to her mind, "God has indeed been kind to us. The foggy weather tonight will really be of great benefit to us!"
Feng Qingge asked warmly: "Tongtong, what are your ideas?"
Xue Meitong raised her lips and smiled, "Yes! Since we are playing the 'empty city strategy', we must play it more thoroughly! If the truth is false, the truth is true, if the truth is false, then let us cheat and win!"
…
At night, just as Feng Qingge expected, Yi Shengtian sent troops to attack "One Line of Sky" at night.
Xue Meitong, dressed in white with disheveled hair, stood quietly in front of the "line of sky".
At this moment, the night is dark, and there is a thick white mist in the valley. The thick low pressure tightly covers the "line of sky". The snowy eyes set off by the white clothes are like a ghost full of resentment, and the cold air is cautious.
