The sun was setting in the west, and the burning clouds were like the dirty and muddy earth after the war, red and dazzling.
The battle was over, and the Slavic army retreated, leaving corpses everywhere.
The ground was littered with corpses, the horses without their owners bowed their heads, and the flags stuck diagonally on the ground were full of holes.
The sun went down, and darkness enveloped everything. Only the top of the Han army's city had sporadic firelight.
Groups of military tents are located in the city that has not yet been built. In a tent on the edge, all the disciples of the Huashan Sect are sitting cross-legged, recharging their energy.
"call"
The curtain of the tent was opened, the subtle sound of night wind blew in, and all the Huashan disciples raised their heads.
Yue Qingfeng, who was sitting in the main seat, seemed to have two bright lights flashing in his eyes. He looked at the disciple who walked in quickly and asked in a deep voice:
"Did you find out everything?"
"I've found out everything."
Yue Chong's face was full of exhaustion and his tone was dull.
"The Left Army's scout battalion searched three locations, Xishan, Coal Mine, and Nanshan Road. The Wudang Sect searched Nanshan Road and Xifeng Valley, and the group of old nuns in Emei..."
Yue Chong casually took out a piece of crumpled rice paper, drew a topographic map on it, and told the news he had found out.
Yue Qingfeng frowned. According to this, the places that can be searched have been searched by experts from various factions and scout battalions, and the rest is controlled by the Slavic army.
"here"
A female disciple pointed at the crude map and said in a determined tone:
"If nothing else happens, the prince should hide here."
Yue Chong shook his head:
"I think the prince must have fallen into the hands of the Slavs. It takes too long from the time the prince leaves the camp to arriving here. The prince is not forced to run as fast as possible, so it is impossible for the prince to get here."
"I think it must be here."
The female disciple was categorical and confronted Yue Chong tit for tat.
The disciples quickly took sides, and those who supported the two men all held their own opinions.
Yue Qingfeng pressed his temples, thinking about what he had done in the past and Huashan's current predicament, and involuntarily cast his eyes on the crumpled rice paper in front of him.
The situation of the Huashan sect is just like this rice paper. Despite all kinds of connections, it has finally reached the point where it is now necessary to surrender to the imperial court.
"This place is very dangerous. It is not far from the battlefield. Three miles to the north is the Slavic army camp. If we are not careful, we may fall into it."
Yue Chong's voice was a little hoarse and he looked at Yue Qingfeng.
He understood his father's desire to prosper Huashan, but if he was not careful now, the sect would be wiped out by the Slavs.
Yue Qingfeng glanced at Yue Chong:
"The risk is worth it."
"Han Ning'er, lead Lao Liu and the others who are good at qinggong to go around here. Once discovered, show up to attract the attention of the Slavs."
"Here, I will personally lead the team up."
Yue Qingfeng raised his palms and stood up calmly.
Yue Chong glanced at Yue Qingfeng and knew that nothing could be changed, so he responded and stood aside.
People from the Huashan faction took action.
Under the cover of the dark night, the Huashan disciples, who were not weak in light skills, quickly left the camp.
Su Lu was pushed awake by Mu Kun.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a dark night sky, and the howling mountain wind blew through the bushes, making a roaring sound.
The sound of the horses chewing weeds alternated between high and low, and the breathing sounds of Xiaoliu and the others were still long and deep.
"What time is it?"
Su Lu asked, but the next moment, he was drowned out by Xiao Liu's scolding voice.
"who?"
"Protect the Prince"
Several guards quickly retreated, the sound of the blade cutting through the mountain wind was heard, and Su Lu was surrounded by several guards holding knives.
"One's own people"
"Yue Qingfeng of Huashan Mountain met the prince"
"We are from the Huashan sect."
A suppressed voice sounded, and a dozen figures groped over in the dark night. The leader spoke in a hushed voice, his tone full of suppressed joy.
If you find the prince, your sect will be promoted to a prestigious sect.
Yue Qingfeng came over quickly, and the disciples of the Huashan Sect also gathered around. A dozen core disciples consciously stood outside the guards, paying careful attention to the surroundings. Even the disciples seemed to be cautious among them.
"Your Highness, please go back. Your Highness and the General are very worried about you."
Yue Qingfeng looked at Su Lu and said cautiously.
Su Lu nodded and was about to set off when a fire suddenly lit up in the bushes not far from the mountain, and then, a rocket was shot into the sky.
In the dark night, the sound of firelight and arrows piercing the sky quickly spread far away.
The Slavic camp at the foot of the mountain started to move.
Discovered by hidden enemy scouts!
With the sound of horse hoofbeats, countless cavalrymen holding torches lined up out of the camp and swarmed towards the bottom of the mountain. The entire Slavic army camp was boiling.
Yue Qingfeng's face turned ugly.
The prince has been found, and the sect with a certain local name suddenly became in danger.
If the responding army reacts too slowly, these disciples of my own, as well as the prince holding the battle above, may all be trampled to pieces by the Slavic army.
If the prince dies, Yue Qingfeng can't imagine where his Huashan sect will end up. His Highness will go crazy, and the commander-in-chief may also go crazy.
"what to do?"
Several disciples gathered around, Yue Chong asked, his face full of nervousness.
They had seen the battle during the day. The brave and skillful Han army relied on their military formations to hold on, and they were even penetrated by the Slavic cavalry several times, causing countless casualties. How could they not be afraid of people with such ideas now?
Yue Qingfeng looked at Su Lu who was surrounded by people:
"Your Majesty, please tell me what we should do."
Su Lu looked at the army that had gathered at the foot of the mountain and shook his head:
"There is no way. You Huashan disciples are not familiar with military formations. My guards are too few, and the military formation formed by them cannot break through the army at the foot of the mountain."
Maybe they couldn't even stop the Slavs at the bottom of the mountain from attacking the mountain.
Su Lu said silently in his heart.
Could it be that this time I have to explain it here!
Suddenly, the surrounding Huashan Sect disciples had smiles on their faces.
Xiao Liu pulled out his saber at once, his face full of stern words:
"What do you want to do?"
He thought that the Huashan disciples wanted to take a desperate risk and use the prince to claim credit from the Slavs.
Yue Qingfeng took a few steps back, glanced down the mountain, and said cautiously:
"Your Highness, I, the disciples of Huashan, are all familiar with the Han army's standard military formations, long spears, short swords, long snakes, everything."
Su Lu looked at the Huashan disciples around him in astonishment. Why are you, a big martial arts sect, even joining the army? You want to rebel.
Yue Chong chuckled:
"We Huashan disciples are not worthy of standing alone in the arena. There are only a few top masters except Master. But which sect is not afraid of my Huashan disciples? They rely on military formations to attack together and cooperate with each other."
Yue Qingfeng also smiled and said:
"To be fair to the prince, I don't have any advanced martial arts in Huashan. If I want to become a big sect like Huashan, our Han army's standard military formation is really easy to use."
The surrounding mountain wind was biting, and the shouts of killing came along the mountain wind. Su Lu glanced at Yue Qingfeng meaningfully, then turned his eyes to the bottom of the mountain, looked at the bottom of the mountain, and gave instructions.
"Form a long sword formation and prepare to charge into the formation."
Looking at the Huashan disciples who were forming formation, Su Lu suddenly had an idea.
These martial arts masters paired with cards seem to be... a special forces team.
