The winter nights were difficult, and the Jiangbei Army on the outskirts was on duty in batches, and those who were awake gathered together to warm themselves by the fire.
"When will this damn weather get warmer?" a sergeant complained, rubbing his hands.
Another person looked at him sideways: "It's almost December, and you expect it to get warmer? Why don't you wait until February?"
The man just talked casually and sighed after hearing the words.
"It's hard for us, and it's even harder for the other side." The companion comforted, "We have enough manpower, and the supplies are not bad. It's a bit cold, but where is the other side? I don't know where to eat tree bark!"
Speaking of this, some people were curious: "Do they really have no supplies? It's been half a month, right? There hasn't been any movement, who marches with so much dry food?"
Others were also puzzled. Yes, general marching rations only lasted for three or seven days. Could it be that horse meat was killed and eaten?
"Even if you finished eating before, Miss Xu San also brought supplies, right?" Others interjected, "I think I still have to endure the rest."
The people next to him nodded repeatedly: "It's normal to be difficult to deal with. That's Yan Er..."
A person's name is like a tree's shadow. After the Battle of Yuzhou, who wouldn't shudder when hearing Yan Er's name? It would be unreasonable if it was easy to clean up.
The fire chief saw something was wrong and said hurriedly: "Don't think too much of him. They say that Yan Er is the bravest of the three armies. This time he stayed in Feilong Mountain. I didn't see what he was capable of."
These words reminded others: "Come to think of it, he rarely rushes into battle, right? I don't know where this reputation of being the brave champion of three armies comes from."
"Yes, yes, his Black Iron Guard is indeed fierce, but how brave he is is only heard through hearsay."
"Hehe, maybe it's a boast, after all, he is the young master of the Yan family!" The speaker winked.
Everyone understood and laughed: "I heard that he is good-looking. Good-looking people always take advantage, right?"
"That's right, even if you have five points of ability, you can also boast ten points."
Soon someone thought of Miss Xu San who had just arrived: "It is said that the Xu family's twins are stunningly beautiful. So what does Miss Xu San look like? Has anyone seen it?"
None of the people present were Jiang Yue's personal soldiers and were not assigned the task of pursuing him, so they all shook their heads.
After staying in the military camp for a long time, the sows turned into Diao Chan. When the beauty was mentioned, everyone had some evil thoughts: "We'll find out when we catch them."
The fire chief took the opportunity to say: "Capturing Yan Er is a great achievement! The young general said, if you die, you will be promoted to two levels with five hundred gold coins, and if you live with a thousand gold coins, you will be promoted to three levels! It is impossible for us to monopolize the credit, but we can still divide it.
One point is not a small amount."
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little superior: "What a natural-born famous general, let him taste the taste of a prisoner! Not only that, but even his mother-in-law was taken away!"
"Yes, yes! Capture Yan Er and steal his mother-in-law!"
He was talking passionately, but suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound, and the man who just said he was robbing the wife let out a scream, and an arrow shot out of nowhere and hit his throat!
The sergeants were shocked, stood up in alarm, and called their comrades to wake up.
"Attack the camp! Attack the camp!"
Before they were ready, the shouts of killing had already sounded, and a group of black-armored warriors appeared like ghosts and rushed into the camp.
Huo Chang cursed in his heart, what is the purpose of the sentry? People actually sneaked into the camp quietly. But the Xuantie Guards are really fierce, look at this momentum...
But they won't lose either! The people sent to encircle and suppress Yan Er this time are all the elites of the Jiangbei Army!
The fire chief shouted, danced his spear like a tiger, and rushed towards a black-armored warrior.
He stabbed, moved, and saw the opponent dodge, Huo Chang's confidence greatly increased. When he raised his spear and stabbed the opponent's vital point, suddenly a black shadow swept over and landed lightly beside him. The sharp sword edge dexterously circled, and he only
I felt a breeze coiling around my neck, my neck was in severe pain, blood spurted out, and my head rolled down.
The head that left the body retained a short memory, and the last thing left in his field of vision was a cold jade-like face. After cutting the person, he wiped the blood on the blade, and his tone was also so cold that no anger could be heard: "
Whose wife are you trying to rob?"
It turns out that this is Yan Er, he is so fast...
Huo Chang stared and lost consciousness.
The black-armored warriors came and went as quickly as they came, killing them like melons and vegetables. When they called people, they whistled and left immediately.
How could Jiangbei Army, who had been waiting for so many days, let go of this opportunity?
Lead the horse and organize a pursuit.
It's best to keep Yan Er. If you can't, you can kill a few more. If you can't, it's a credit to track down the enemy. In short, just chase him.
Half of the people in the camp chased him out, and the rest did not relax their guard to prevent the other party from trying to lure him away from the mountain.
The captain of this camp was not careless. However, when a huge roar came from the mountainside, the camp was shaken and the sergeants were shocked.
What happened? Was there thunder?
The news quickly spread back.
"It's gunpowder! They ambush gunpowder! Everyone who chased them was killed. The school captain... was also killed..."
The same incident didn't just happen in this camp. It was destined to be an unquiet night. There were roars one after another, and the foot of the mountain shook endlessly. Jiang Yi naturally woke up.
By the time he received reports from each battalion, the encirclement surrounding Yanling had been blown up.
Jiang Yue's face was extremely ugly. Without saying a word, he knelt down and apologized: "I blame me for not doing things carefully. Please punish me by the governor."
Jiang Yi shook his head: "It seems that Xu San brought a lot of gunpowder, which gave Yan Er the confidence."
Jiang Yue couldn't help but said: "Then can they blow up the mountain road..."
Both of them fell silent.
Once the mountain road is blown open, their plan will be a failure.
Jiang Yi calmed down and said: "What you said is very possible. Yan Er suddenly took action, maybe just to disrupt the situation and take the opportunity to blow up the mountain road!"
"Then let's..."
Jiang Yi walked back and forth many times, and when he stood still, he made up his mind: "We must keep them! Someone, take my talisman and mobilize the troops!"
…
Gunpowder exploded everywhere and the cave shook. When everything calmed down, Xu Yin returned to the cave entrance and waited.
Not long after, Yan Ling came back.
Seeing that there were not many people in their team, Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is everything going well?"
Yan Ling said with a smile on his face: "Of course, with the artifact you brought, how can it not go smoothly?"
Xu Yin felt relieved: "Go in quickly and sweep away all the traces so that no one can find out."
"Why!"
After such a big job, they settled down. All human traces were wiped away, the entrance to the cave was sealed, and the horses were all put into cages. They hid in the cave without making a sound. Only Chai Qi and a few spies went out to inquire about the situation.
In the next few days, Feilong Mountain was extremely unstable.
Jiang Yi mobilized a large number of troops and the search intensity was greatly increased.
It wasn't until several days passed without finding any trace of them that I felt a little more relaxed.
Yan Ling hid for a few more days. When everything was calm, everyone packed up and prepared to go out.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
After chatting with my friends yesterday, I felt a lot more relaxed. I finally saw green in my deep sleep and was moved. After thinking about it, I still need to actively change my mentality, let go of what should be let go, and let myself be more relaxed and optimistic.
