The thick night was shrouded under the sky, and loud rumbling sounds resounded throughout the sky and the earth, and the stars on the top of the sky seemed to be trembling.
After giving the order, Bai Qi led his men and fled hurriedly down the mountain. The boulders rolled down, and the vegetation broke in their path, and the rubble flew back up and splashed in the air.
Screams continued, and from time to time Chu soldiers died under the crushing of boulders.
In the Chu camp.
Ran Min looked at Xun Sheng, with a look of rage on his bearded face. He knew that he did not expect the Tianluo enemy army to be so vigilant. Bai Qi had been exposed. He believed that the enemy army on the left wing would soon find traces of Qin Qiong and his party.
"It seems that if we want to attack Wusiguan tonight, we may not have a chance!"
"Damn Tianluo enemy army!"
One stick of incense time.
Bai Qi and Qin Qiong returned home defeated. They saw no trace of the enemy but suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of soldiers died miserably under arrows and rolling stones.
"Damn it!"
"Go back to camp!"
Bai Qi shouted sharply, and the armor on his body made a violent collision sound. It was obvious that he was very angry at this time.
On the mountain peak, when Hua Zhe saw the Chu army retreating, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and walked straight to the top of the mountain.
"Retreat to the mountain. The Chu army is cunning and deceitful. I order the army to be vigilant and not to let them take advantage of it!"
Hua Zhe had always believed that the Chu army would not withdraw easily. Tonight, he found out in time that the Chu army had sent them home with their feathers broken, but defending Wusiguan was not a complete strategy at all.
But for now, Hua Zhe can only live one day at a time. He hopes that the reinforcements from the empire will arrive soon, and then they can leave the border and confront the Chu army again.
The stars in the night sky are bright, and the air outside Wusiguan Pass is mixed with a faint smell of blood. The breeze is gentle, and time flies. In a blink of an eye, the morning light repels the night and rises quietly from the eastern horizon.
After losing the battle last night, Bai Qi, Qin Qiong, and Ran Min spent the whole night discussing how to attack the enemy, and finally decided to attack Wu Siguan by fire.
The morning light was dim, and white smoke curled up on the two solitary peaks in the distance. The mountainside looked like a fairyland. In the Chu army camp, Bai Qi, Ran Min, and Qin Qiong stood upright like javelins, looking directly at the top of the solitary peak.
"General Qin and General Ran, please order the officers and men of the three armies to take a good rest. In the afternoon, when the sun is at its peak, fire attacks the two isolated peaks. Since we can't go up, let the enemy troops from Tianluo come down."
Although the plan of Huo's attack on Wusiguan was good, Bai Qi still focused on the right time, place and people.
Without the enemy's ambush on the two solitary peaks, once the Chu army passed through the canyon in front of them, capturing Wusiguan was like taking something from a bag.
Time is ticking away, and Tianluo's enemy troops are guarding the two solitary peaks. They are waiting for work to ensure that they will always be victorious.
In the Chu camp, after the soldiers of the three armies had eaten, only a few patrolling soldiers were left. The others were all resting in the camp, recharging their energy and waiting for the successive fierce battles.
At noon.
A loud sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and the patrolling soldiers in the Chu camp looked up and saw several good horses galloping towards the official road, with several feet of smoke floating behind them.
Dozens of people stood with weapons in hand, staring straight ahead. One of them stepped back and ran quickly into the tent.
"Reporting to the general, several cavalry were spotted on the official road rushing towards our army camp. The identity of the visitor is not yet clear. Please make a decision, general!"
In the tooth tent, Bai Qi heard the sound, his figure suddenly rose up, grabbed the broad sword beside him, got up and walked out quickly.
The sound of horse hoofbeats continued to approach, and Qin Qiong, Ran Min, and Qin Liangyu followed the sound. Everyone looked wary, and their eyes stayed on the horses coming from Juechen.
Qin Qiong narrowed her eyes slightly, with a look of shock on her face, and an excited voice sounded: "General Bai, General Ran, the people here are my emperor and General Zhao!"
The words stirred up a thousand waves. Bai Qi, Ran Min, and Qin Liangyu stood up and strode outside the camp. Chu Feifan's arrival at this time undoubtedly made the three armies more confident, and the morale of the Chu army would undergo a qualitative change.
"Da da da!"
The sound of horseshoes suddenly stopped, and Chu Feifan, Zhao Yun, Shan Xiongxin, and Luo Shixin jumped off their horses and walked straight towards Bai Qi and the others.
"The general welcomes the emperor!"
"Generals, there is no need to be polite. Let's go into the tent first!"
Chu Feifan walked quickly toward the Chinese army's tent, followed closely by the generals, their figures filled with fierce fighting spirit.
After entering the tent and signaling the generals to take their seats, Chu Feifan said, "Generals, how are the enemy troops at Wusiguan?"
With a look of shame on his face, Bai Qi spoke in a rich voice: "Your Majesty, the enemy relies on a natural chasm and our army will not be able to attack it for a long time. However, the last general and other generals have discussed that we will attack Wusiguan by fire in the afternoon!"
"Fire attack on Wusiguan?"
"Since General Bai has made a plan, I will wait and see!"
Chu Feifan didn't think there was anything wrong with Bai Qi's fire attack method. It was now midsummer, the air was dry, and everything was baking in the scorching sun. Bai Qi used fire attack method at this time, although it was not as effective as the dead wood season.
Well, maybe there will be something unexpected.
Three hours passed quietly, and the three armies in the Chu camp were ready to go. The braziers and arrows were all ready.
"Set off!"
Bai Qi jumped up on his horse and gave the order, and the three armies followed closely behind and galloped towards the two solitary peaks.
On the solitary peak, Hua Zhe heard the rumble of horse hooves. Holding a spear in his hand, he stood up, raised his head and looked down the mountain. He saw the dark Chu army coming in force, and his eyes instantly became tense.
"General, is the Chu army going to launch a forcible assault on the pass?"
"No, the general in charge of the Chu army is not an ordinary person. How could he risk the lives of his soldiers?"
"I am worried that the Chu army has another treacherous plot, so I have ordered all the soldiers to deal with it carefully to see what the Chu army wants to do!"
Hua Zhe still responded to all changes by remaining unchanged. He knew that as long as the two solitary peaks were in their hands, the Chu army would be unable to move forward.
The Chu army wore black armor and came holding huge bows. Like a black tide, it swallowed up the earth in an instant.
When the army was only a hundred meters away from the two solitary peaks, Bai Qi ordered the three armies to stop moving forward. He raised the Dragon-breaking Heavenly Halberd in his hand and heard a powerful and powerful voice.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowmen took orders, picked up their bows and set arrows. The arrows were covered with resin. The arrows entered the brazier, and the flames rose up. The sky was filled with flames, and streaks of smoke streaked across the sky, just like falling meteors.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Like locusts' rockets, they cover the sky and the sun, and quickly attack the lonely peak. The dead branches catch fire and burn, and smoke billows from the peak instantly.
Hua Zhe was shocked. He did not expect that the Chu army would attack with fire. Looking at the dead branches that started to burn on the mountainside, a fierce murderous look flashed in his eyes.
"General, don't panic. The Chu army wants to attack with fire, but the ground on the solitary peak is damp and damp, and there is no way for flames to form a climate. General, you just need to stay here and watch their performance."
Hear the sound.
Hua Zhe moved back, looked at the arrow stuck on the ground, and sneered, with a look of disdain on his face.
"The Chu army's move was in vain, it was a waste of arrows!"
In the Chu camp.
Chu Feifan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the scene on the battlefield in front of him. He glanced sideways at Luo Shixin and saw him striding towards him.
Everyone saw Chu Feifan whispering something in Luo Shixin's ear, and they saw him running towards the back of the camp excitedly.
"The fire attack is ineffective, then I will give you some spices!"
