On the hillside, the prince lay lying in the snow, silently watching the path below him.
There were more than 500 sergeants lying beside him. They lay in the snow for a whole day.
Chamberlain Lu Yunxi was heartbroken: "Your Highness, I told the onmyoji named Tao, and she will set up a magic circle and send His Highness to a warmer place to rest!"
The prince glanced at Lu Yunxi and lowered his voice: "If you say one more word, I will cut out your tongue."
Lu Yunxi almost burst into tears. He was really distressed: "I won't say more, I won't say a word. Your Highness, why did you follow them here?"
This is a large mountain to the north of Yongzhou, and it is also the northernmost boundary of the entire Daxuan Kingdom. It is called Xuhuan Mountain.
Xuqi means walking slowly. On this mountain, both cars, horses and pedestrians walk very slowly.
Because the mountain is steep, the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and the snowy weather is slippery, you will fall off the cliff if you are not careful.
But this mountain is the only way for Tunu to enter Yongzhou. Chu Xin received a secret report from a spy that Tunu will have a batch of grain and grass passing through this place today.
In the past, secret reports like this were of no value. Chu Xin was helpless even if Tu Nu wanted to send him as much food and grass as he dared not leave Shuangxiong Pass, let alone reach Xuqiu Mountain.
But it's different now. There are more than a hundred Onmyojis in the military camp. As long as one is sent to leave a mark on Xuzong Mountain, the Onmyojis can send five hundred elite soldiers over.
There are onmyoji in every country, but only Daxuan has an onmyoji, and only Daxuan can bring the onmyoji together to form a powerful fighting force. Regardless of Taibu's character, this credit cannot be doubted.
The heavy snow had just stopped and the weather was very cold. A soldier opened the wine bag, took a sip and gave it to the next sergeant.
The next sergeant takes another sip and passes it to the next person.
This is the rule in the military camp. Comrades are brothers and precious things must be shared.
When the jug was passed to the prince, Lu Yunxi quickly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, don't drink this pickled stuff. This slave has prepared wine for you."
Lu Yunxi was about to find some wine when the prince took the wine bag from the sergeant, took a big sip and handed it to Lu Yunxi.
Lu Yunxi had no choice but to take a sip and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong took a sip and gave it to Tao Huayuan, who refused to drink it.
It's not that she thinks it's dirty, a daughter's lips shouldn't touch a man's wine bag.
Xu Zhiqiong whispered: "How about I take another sip and feed you mouth to mouth?"
Tao Huayuan kicked Xu Zhiqiong, her cheeks were slightly red.
This place was not suitable, so Tao Huayuan agreed to find another place.
It's really cold here. Even if you can touch Xu Zhiqiong's lips, your body will feel warmer.
Yu Shan took a sip and gave it to Bai Zihe. Bai Zihe took a sip and smiled at Yu Shan.
It wasn't too cold for them because they were so close to each other.
Bai Zihe was Chu Xin's general, and even Xu Zhiqiong didn't know she was a woman. Seeing her and Yu Shan being so close all day long, Xu Zhiqiong was filled with emotion.
Ever since breaking up with Han Di, I didn't expect that Yu Shan had changed so much.
When he was willing to fight alongside me in front of Canglong Palace, he must have taken a fancy to my beauty.
I don't have this kind of hobby!
I have to be more careful with him in the future.
A group of people loomed on the snow-covered road.
Yu Shan looked at the prince, who pointed to the mountain road, indicating that Yu Shan could order an attack at any time.
The prince knew something about military affairs, but he was a layman in front of Yu Shan. In this battle, the prince was only the nominal commander. The purpose of his coming to the battlefield was to boost morale.
Since Chu Xin retreated to the dangerous pass, this is the first counterattack, a counterattack that can inflict pain on Tu Nu. The outcome of this battle is very crucial.
More than a hundred soldiers and a dozen carriages walked on the mountain road.
This is it, this is the team transporting food?
Of course it's not.
These people were scouts responsible for exploring the road. Firstly, they wanted to check whether the mountain road was clear, and secondly, they wanted to test whether there were any bandits on the road.
Bai Zihe looked at Yu Shan, she wanted to see the judgment of this mighty general.
Yu Shan did not disappoint her. He lay in the snowdrift and watched quietly, without any thought of attacking.
He comes from a famous family and is familiar with military art. Yu Shan cannot be deceived by this little trick.
More than a dozen carriages passed by, and after waiting for nearly half an hour, the real grain transport convoy arrived.
Tunu's convoy was very long, with more than 500 carriages, queuing up on the mountain road.
Yu Shan was not in a hurry to take action, he was looking for the most suitable opportunity to attack.
There were a lot of Tu Nu, including the slaves who drove the carts, there were almost more than two thousand people, so it was somewhat difficult to annihilate them all in one fell swoop.
The leader, Tu Nu, was a fat general, riding a war horse and walking in the center of the convoy.
His name is Ta Lutu, and he has a fifth-grade Xiong Shinto cultivation. He is a difficult opponent. Yu Shan should try his best to avoid a head-on confrontation with him at the beginning of the war.
When all the grain transport teams entered the ambush range, Yu Shan ordered the drums to be beaten, and the soldiers pushed down rolling stones and logs from the snowdrifts and launched the first round of attacks.
Dozens of carriages were hit directly under the cliff, and Tu Nu, who was unprepared, was immediately thrown into chaos.
Ta Lu Tu was relatively calm and directed the Tu Nu soldiers to advance at full speed, trying to cross this mountain road.
This is an experienced general. If he stops to counterattack now, with cliffs on one side and hillsides on the other, in this terrain, the only thing waiting for him is the annihilation of his entire army.
But Yu Shan was prepared for this. He raised a red battle flag and sent a signal to Wu Shanxing.
Wu Shanxing was lying in ambush in front of the mountain road. When he saw the battle flag, he immediately led more than a hundred soldiers to rush down the hillside.
Chu He followed Wu Shanxing with a long knife. As a lantern holder, he should be following Xu Zhiqiong. I don't know what he has been bewitched in the past few days, so he and Wu Shanxing walked closer.
"You have to follow me closely, this is a tough battle!"
This is indeed a tough battle. If more than 100 people want to block a convoy of 2,000 people, it requires not only courage, but also tactics.
According to common sense, Wu Shanxing should rush directly into the enemy's formation and hold off the enemy in the melee.
But he did not do this. Once he rushed into the enemy's position, the enemy forces would rely on their numerical superiority to form a partial encirclement of Wu Shanxing.
Of course, the purpose of delaying the enemy was achieved, but Wu Shanxing was bound to face serious battle losses. These more than a hundred people undoubtedly became the most tragic human shields, and very few survived.
But Wu Shanxing did not rush into the enemy's position. He ordered the soldiers to use their shields as sleds, quickly slide down the hillside, get ahead of the enemy, and form a formation on the mountain road.
The mountain road was not too wide and could only accommodate two side-by-side carriages. Wu Shanxing formed a shield formation first to occupy the mountain road, maximize the advantage of the terrain, minimize the contact area with the enemy, and not give the enemy a chance to encircle him.
The only problem is that his military formation will face the impact of the carriage.
The first row of soldiers raised their shields, the second row of soldiers pressed against the backs of the third row of soldiers, and the third row of soldiers pressed against the backs of the second row of soldiers.
With these three rows of soldiers, Wu Shanxing was confident that he could block the impact of the carriage. After all, the carriage transporting grain was not a war horse. If frightened, it would most likely rush down the cliff and would not continue to attack forward.
The carriage quickly hit the first row of soldiers. The soldiers slid several feet on the snow. Some soldiers even broke their arm bones, but they quickly regained their footing.
Wu Shanxing gave an order, and the soldiers in the fourth row raised their spears and stabbed the horses through the gaps in the shields.
The horses were injured, neighing and kicking, and blood flowed all over the ground. The horses behind them were frightened and made a mess. Many carriages immediately rushed off the cliff.
The tactic worked, and even Yu Shan was surprised. Wu Shanxing was really a genius.
The road ahead was blocked, and the Tunu people crowded on the mountain road. The density suddenly increased, making them easy targets for bows and arrows.
Yu Shan ordered the arrows to be fired. As long as the range was sufficient, Meng could be hit without having to aim.
The enemy general Ta Lutu was also trapped in the chariot and horse, and he had nowhere to use his cultivation skills.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Talu Tushe turned his horse, pushed away the crowd, walked to the front of the formation, used the power of the bear god to knock away the two shield soldiers, and led a group of Tunu people directly into Wu Shanxing's formation.
This was something Wu Shanxing did not expect. There were few such brave generals in the Tunu army.
Tarutu grabbed a soldier, broke his neck, turned around, slapped a soldier on the face, and pulled the entire face off.
What a fierce monster!
This strength seems to be no less than that of fellow killers.
Seeing Ta Lutu approaching, Chu He raised his saber and stepped forward to fight. Wu Shanxing held a spear and attacked from the side.
These two people only have ninth-grade cultivation of the Killing Dao, which is really not good enough in front of the Tower Record Tu.
Tarutu didn't bother to look, he raised his scimitar and blocked Chu He's saber. When the swords collided, Chu He's saber flew away immediately.
Wu Shanxing's spear pierced Talutu's left rib, but Talutu's armor and skin were thick, so the shot did not hurt him. He grabbed the barrel of the gun and twisted it casually, causing the spear to break and Wu Shanxing fell to the ground.
.
Ta Lutu stood among the crowd, took a deep breath, and prepared to activate the fifth level skill - Sound Shock Qiongyu.
If he was allowed to roar with this voice, at least half of Wu Shanxing's soldiers would die, and even he and Chu He might not be able to survive.
Just as Ta Lutu opened his mouth, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly appeared in front of him and slashed Ta Lutu's throat with a knife.
The knife slashed so fast that Talutu didn't scream, almost getting distracted.
He had no time to dodge, nor did he have time to parry, so he simply used his eighth-grade skill, bronze skin and iron bones, to carry him hard. Xu Zhiqiong concentrated his energy on one point and slashed him down with one move.
Wu Xu once said that when Xu Zhiqiong reached the sixth level, his Qi was full, and with this tiger-killing move, he was enough to compete with high-level and powerful enemies.
This statement was true. With this slash, Ta Lutu felt a chill in his neck and blood immediately spurted out.
The copper skin and iron bones are broken!
What kind of cultivation level does this guy have?
Chu He and Wu Shanxing were both dumbfounded. Yu Shan on the hillside was dumbfounded, a feeling of jealousy welling up in his heart.
Could it be that Xu Zhiqiong’s cultivation level is already above mine?
Now is not the time to think about these things. Xu Zhiqiong entangled Talu Tu. It was an excellent fighter opportunity. Yu Shan ordered the entire army to charge.
Xuan's army was condescending, while Tunu huddled together and charged once. The victory was decided, but Tunu's army failed to form effective resistance and was directly defeated.
The situation was like this, and Talutu was not willing to fight, and just wanted to lead a few elites to fight out a way out.
Want to run? It's not that easy!
The peach blossoms are raining down, and Tao Huayuan has set up the magic circle!
Talutu became extremely sluggish in the magic circle, and was stabbed more than a dozen times by Xu Zhiqiong.
No matter how thick the skin is, it can't withstand piecemeal cuts. After being seriously injured, Ta Lutu's vitality was exhausted, and Tao Huayuan pierced his heart with a peach blossom branch. Xu Zhiqiong went out again and cut off his head.
.
Tao Huayuan came closer and quietly tickled Xu Zhiqiong's nose. Xu Zhiqiong secretly pinched the peach while no one was paying attention.
Yu Shan and Bai Zihe led their soldiers to kill the remaining enemies, and killed all Tunu in just two moments (less than half an hour).
An ambush battle, well prepared, well-thought-out tactics, well-directed, and a hearty fight.
This victory was not only important to the battle situation, but also to the prince himself.
Liang Jixiong asked the prince to come to Yongzhou in order to build a foundation for the prince.
In the days since he came to Yongzhou, the prince has won consecutive battles. Counting this great victory, he has already accumulated enough foundation.
After killing all the Tu Nu, there were still hundreds of carts of food left, and the prince gritted his teeth in pain.
These grains are very precious, as are the carriages and horses, but Onmyoji cannot take them back, and the carrying capacity of the magic circle is limited.
No matter how distressed he was, the food could not be left to Tunu. The prince had no choice but to order a fire and burn the food, the carriages and the horses.
Yu Shan was about to lead his sergeants to set fire when he suddenly saw a group of people rushing up from the mountain.
A woman in the lead, riding a group of white horses, galloped up the mountain road and shouted loudly: "Leave the food and spare your life!"
The prince shouted angrily: "Who is coming?"
The woman replied: "The boss of Moli Village, Liu Jiaqi! If you don't want to die, get out of here right away!"
