This place is called Snake Ridge, just because it is winding and winding, with only one road in front and back. Once you enter, there is no possibility of turning back. Especially for a large army, it is even more difficult to turn the head of the gun as long as you plunge in. Snake Ridge
The ridge is like a long snake crawling across it. Although the road is flat, it is in a canyon with thousands of cliffs on both sides. Even apes have to think hard if they want to climb up.
Standing with the Dragon Army, Cao Jun was beaten to a pulp. The army panicked and rushed into the Snake Ridge. When they realized something was wrong, the road behind them had been blocked by the Dragon Army. Xia Houyuan hurriedly dismounted and looked left and right. If Long Fei
If you arrange an ambush here, it will definitely be your death. But it looks fine. Xia Houyuan sent people to explore the way ahead, and also sent people to find ways to climb up the cliff to check.
"Bo Yue! What is the name of this place, and how far is it from the North?" Xia Houyuan asked Jiang Wei beside him.
Jiang Wei looked at it and sighed: "I ran all the way last night, panicking. This seems to be Snake Ridge. If it is true, then we ran in the wrong direction. This place is closer to Chiyang, not Northland. If you look at Chang'an in terms of distance,
Less than eighty miles!”
"What? Eighty miles away from Chang'an?" Xia Houyuan was shocked. Based on this distance calculation, it is absolutely impossible if Long Fei did not ambush. Then he shouted loudly: "Alert! Be careful of sneak attacks! Alert!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew from nowhere, and Xia Houyuan was completely unprepared. He heard a pop, and the arrow hit Xia Houyuan's shoulder. Xia Houyuan screamed and fell off his horse. Jiang Wei hurriedly rushed to Xia Houyuan's side.
He picked up Xia Houyuan. Fortunately, there was no rain of arrows, and the nervous soldiers finally got a chance to breathe.
"Who is your Excellency? Please come out and speak!" Jiang Wu felt that the man shot well, and this arrow made him feel a lot better. Why did Xia Houyuan embarrass his elder brother a few days ago?
A thin and thin man appeared on a nearby cliff. He was dressed in Hufu, with feathers on his head, and his face was painted messily. He was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and an quiver on his back. He gradually continued to aim here, as if
He was looking for someone to attack. When the deputy general saw it, he immediately shouted: "Protect the general! Protect the general!"
A dozen sword and shield men hurriedly took out their shields and protected Xia Houyuan. Jiang Wei hugged the man and said, "We are Cao Jun passing by. We have absolutely no intention of harming you. As long as this strong man does not embarrass us
, we promise to leave immediately!"
The man still didn't speak. As soon as he let go, the arrow flew again. Everyone gathered around Xia Houyuan. But the arrow did not fly this way, and rushed directly to the flag-bearing soldier next to him. Again
With a scream, the flag-bearing soldier fell on his back. Someone hurriedly took over the battle flag, which prevented the battle flag from falling. We are all generals in the war, how could we not know what this person's purpose was!
"Immediately send someone to explore the road. You can't fight with this man. Who knows if there are thousands of archers behind him!" Jiang Wei slowly stood up and ordered the general on the side. The general hesitated, and the deputy general roared: "Alright?
What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"
When no flag-carrying soldier appeared, the man on the mountain shot the man down with a bow and arrow. After several attempts, Cao Jun's battle flag still stood there stubbornly. Under the battle flag, more than a dozen dead bodies were lying in various directions. They were all here for
Choose the soldiers who sacrificed to protect the battle flag.
When Xia Houyuan woke up, the soldiers who went to explore the way finally came back. Everyone hurriedly asked. The soldier shook his head: "It's a long way here, we only walked most of it, and I was worried about the general asking, so I came back alone to report the news, and the other few
Brothers are still going on!"
"It has taken so long to walk? How far is it?" The deputy general couldn't bear it anymore. He watched Xia Houyuan's soldiers die under the battle flag one by one. If two more died, the battle flag would no longer fly high.
The Fujian general glanced at Jiang Wei, who said: "I have only heard of this place, and I don't know how far it is! However, there are rumors that this Snake Ridge is several miles long at least! If you want to get out of here, you must
Then you have to continue to be next to each other."
"Hula la..." There was a sound. After the last of Xia Houyuan's personal guards died, Cao Jun's battle flag finally fell down. Looking at the man on the mountain, he was still standing quietly. The deputy general was furious, and then ordered another order.
Attack him and cut that man into pieces.
"Don't!" Xia Houyuan struggled to sit up and grabbed the deputy general: "That man's purpose is to provoke us so that we can seize the mountain, and then give us a head-on attack! Don't fall into the trap, pass on my military order and the army will disperse.
Open, guard against those people using stones!"
Several more people dressed like that person appeared on the cliff. Two of them were tall and round, holding maces in their hands and looking down and laughing. Xia Houyuan was well-informed after all. Judging from the clothes of this group of people,
They are definitely not soldiers and horses from the Central Plains, let alone robbers or bandits. Xia Houyuan quickly asked Jiang Wei: "Bo Yue, have you ever seen the Qiang people?"
Jiang Wei was so smart that he immediately understood what Xia Houyuan meant and shook his head quickly: "They are not Qiang people! The Qiang people are fierce, good at riding and shooting, but not good at climbing. I'm afraid only the monkeys of the Southern Barbarians can reach such a high place...!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wei froze and looked at Xia Houyuan. The two of them thought of Long Fei's Southern Barbarian Legion at the same time.
"Gather the troops and horses! Escape quickly!" Everyone helped Xia Houyuan get on his horse and ran towards the depths of Snake Ridge.
As soon as they moved, things on the cliff also changed. Thousands of barbarians with feathers and faces painted in various colors emerged from the nooks and crannies of the horns. Cao Jun ran in, and the barbarians also ran in. These people
, walking on the cliff as if on flat ground, as fast as a war horse. While running, Xia Houyuan looked at those people, feeling a little regretful that he should not rush out of Anding, it might be much better if he stayed there. As Jiang Wei said
He is indeed like a monkey. Thinking of this, he glanced at Jiang Wei unconsciously, because it was Jiang Wei's idea to highlight stability.
"Report..., General, there are a large number of dragon troops blocking the exit ahead, and we can't get out!" The soldiers who went to explore the way finally came back.
Xia Houyuan laughed heartily and said to Jiang Wei: "Bo Yue, you have done me a lot of harm! Now we have a road blocked in front of us, we are being pursued by troops behind us, and there are ambushes on both sides. Tell me the truth, is it the Dragon Army?"
spy?"
Jiang Wei looked at Xia Houyuan's decadent eyes, thought for a while, nodded slightly and shook his head quickly: "To be precise, I am not a spy of the Dragon Army, but an undercover agent of the Dragon Army, just to make you fight with Xiliang.
Take the opportunity to capture Chang'an!"
"You! You traitor! Come on, take them down for me!" the deputy general gritted his teeth.
Xia Houyuan waved his hand: "That's all. I, Xia Houyuan, have been on the battlefield for many years. I thought I was very accurate in identifying people, but I didn't expect that I would die here. I ordered the entire army to stop advancing. Everyone put down their weapons and waited for the Dragon Army! They will not kill those without weapons.
people!"
"General!" The deputy general has followed Xia Houyuan for many years. It can be said that like the captain of Xia Houyuan's bodyguard, he was choked up and speechless at this time.
Xia Houyuan dismounted and consoled him: "Long Fei is very scheming. What Governor Zhang said is true. He had contacted Jiang Wei as early as when Jiang Wei escaped from Tianshui. In this game, we are Long Fei's pawns! I, Xia Houyuan, lose
I am so convinced! I can’t blame anyone else, but I, Xia Houyuan, can only blame me for being blind!” At this point, he said to Jiang Wei: “I failed completely, can Bo Yue satisfy my one request?”
Jiang Wei nodded: "The deputy general has been with me for many years, and I still have an eighty-year-old mother at home. Could you please tell General Long to let the deputy general go? Xia Houyuan would be very grateful!"
"This..." Jiang Wei hesitated. The plan he and Meng Shuo made at the beginning was to rob Chang'an and annihilate all Cao Cao's troops stationed in Chang'an. Although he was considered a member of the Dragon Army, he had never even seen Long Fei.
If you just agree like this, if you can't do it, you will become a villain who breaks your promise.
The deputy general knelt at Xia Houyuan's feet: "The general is as kind to me as a mountain. I will go wherever the general goes and never leave the general for even a step! Today's defeat, how can Long Fei let the general go? The general will take the first step and take the general's place."
Explore the road!" With a pop, the lieutenant's sword cut his neck lightly, blood spurted out more than ten feet away, and he fell down at Xia Houyuan's feet with a smile.
Looking at the body of the deputy general, Xia Houyuan shouted: "I consider myself a Confucian general and I know how to detect traps, but I fell into a huge trap. What's the use of these eyes!" Suddenly he stretched out his hands, with two fingers slightly bent, and stretched them into himself.
With a scream, two bloody flesh balls appeared in Xia Houyuan's hands. Xia Houyuan looked up to the sky and shouted: "Brother! Xia Houyuan can no longer serve you!" He suddenly threw the eyeballs in his hand far away.
The medical officer hurried over and bandaged Xia Houyuan to stop the bleeding. Xia Houyuan was motionless, and the two black holes on his face looked really scary.
"Drive!" Long Fei took Chen Dao, and Meng Shuo rode his horse to Shexing Ridge. Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Ma Zhong, Zhu Rong and others were dealing with the surrendered Cao army. Meng Shuo found Jiang Wei and brought Jiang Wei to send Long Fei.
Before Jiang Wei could kneel down, Long Fei grabbed Jiang Wei and looked at Jiang Wei nodding his head: "The Xiliang scholar is really bold. Even I have to weigh up such a huge game. Boyu is brave and resourceful."
, he is a rare genius in the world!"
Jiang Wei repeatedly said that he did not dare, and looked back at Xia Houyuan: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request, that..."
Long Fei smiled and said: "Needless to say, Bo Yuan, Xia Houyuan has been kind to you. A man who values friendship and friendship, come on, take Xia Houyuan to the customs and hand it over to Yu Jin!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Wei knelt down quickly. Long Fei hurriedly helped him up: "Xia Houyuan can only be regarded as a useless person now. Keeping him will waste my food, so it is better to let him go. It's like Bo Yue exchanging favors with others. What's the point of killing two birds with one stone?
What a pleasure!" Although it was a joke, Jiang Wei felt that Long Fei had no airs and was an upright leader, making him worthy of loyalty.
