Bai Qi came on horseback and just met the generals. He saw Fusang's army coming overwhelmingly. Four hundred thousand soldiers were like a torrent that burst the embankment. They were hunting with banners and swords, and the shadows of swords and halberds were crisscrossing the sky. The momentum was huge and shocking.
"Fuso's enemy soldiers pretended to withdraw. This was to lure the snake out of its hole and take the opportunity to invade Edo Castle."
"They want to circle around Edo Castle, so we will have fun with them!"
Knowing the meaning of Bai Qi's words, the generals all returned to their horses and rushed towards Edo Castle. The Chu army was small in number and moved extremely fast. The Fuso army could not compare. They had not yet caught up with the Chu army and they had already arrived at the bottom of the city.
.
"Damn it, the Chu army dared to play tricks on me. I'm so angry!"
Beixiong Tianwu looked at the Chu army entering the city, his eyes were splitting, and he roared angrily.
"General, the snow is still flying, and it is no longer possible to set up camp. If the Chu army is repeating its old tactics to play tricks on our army, why not just return to Sakura City, wait for the snowstorm to end, come back, and fight the Chu army."
"Yes, the Chu army is cunning and insidious. Our army has been staying under Edo City. It is not the best choice. The general should order the withdrawal."
The left and right lieutenants had been with Beixiong Tianwu for many years. They were loyal and tyrannical. Their suggestions made Beixiong Tianwu fall into deep thought and he looked down at the pitted horseshoe marks on the ground.
"After dusk, the temperature drops sharply. By then, everything under Edo City will be frozen, making it impossible to attack the city. There is no value in staying here to deal with the Chu army."
"Retreat and return to Sakura City!"
Fusang's army retreated again. The generals on the city looked sideways at Bai Qi and asked, "Do you want to attack again and tease them to stay?"
"No need, dusk is approaching and the ground has begun to freeze. Once you leave the city, it will be difficult to return."
"Fuso's army has withdrawn, and all the scouts in the city set off to find the emperor's whereabouts!"
Bai Qi watched the Fuso soldiers retreating, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded, the snow was flying in the sky, and the cold wind whistled.
.....................
The harsh winter night comes earlier, and the thick darkness envelopes the earth. There is silence everywhere, and the outline of the cold mountains in the distance begins to appear, like an entrenched ferocious beast.
The light of the white snow formed a sharp contrast with the darkness in the sky. Beixiong Tianwu led the army closer to Sakura City, and the sound of armor clashing broke the silence under the night sky.
"General, ahead is Akagi Mountain, and we will reach Sakura City in one hour!"
A deputy general's slightly excited voice sounded. After running in the snow for a day and a night, they were already exhausted physically and mentally. At this time, they all thought about returning to Sakura City, where they could have a good night's rest, fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful people. How desirable that was.
.
"Speed up the march, and you won't have to suffer from the horrible weather when you return to Sakura City!"
Beixiong Tianwu said loudly, clapped his legs and ran forward. Akagi Mountain is an extinct volcano outside Sakura City. The peak is not high and stretches less than a thousand meters away. It is only ten miles away from Sakura City.
However.
However, Emperor Chu and Zhuge Liang chose to ambush Beixiong Tianwu here. They discussed and knew that the more dangerous the place, the safer it would be. Beixiong Tianwu never dreamed that he would be ambushed by the Chu army at the foot of Chicheng Mountain after a safe journey.
The army began to pass through the foot of Chicheng Mountain in great strength, and the soldiers did not realize that death was so close to them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Loud noises that shook the sky were heard one after another, and the flying arrows and stones on Akagi Mountain were like a waterfall. The flying arrows and rolling stones that came without warning caught the Fuso enemy soldiers off guard.
All of a sudden.
The screams and wails under the mountain peak were like thunder. Beixiong Tianwu was shocked, and a powerful roar sounded, ordering the soldiers to run to one side.
"Spread out and retreat!"
There was only one side of Akagi Mountain, and the other side was just empty wilderness. Fuso's enemy soldiers ran to the side in panic, but what happened next made them stop.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The sound was like thunder, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and dark shadows swayed in the thick mist in front of them. Just as the enemy soldiers stopped in Fusang, arrows as fast as meteors flew out of the mist, and figures fell to the ground one after another.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Under the darkness, flying arrows were everywhere like ghosts. Fusang's enemy soldiers were so frightened that they fled in panic, but wherever they went, they were attacked and killed by flying arrows.
Seeing the soldiers lying in a pool of blood one by one in front of him, Beixiong Tianwu's eyes were about to burst, and he shouted angrily at the top of his lungs: "The soldiers of the three armies obey the order and break out towards Sakura City with me."
Beixiong Tianwu didn't know about his order and completely sent 400,000 troops to Huangquan Road. Emperor Chu and Zhuge Liang had long expected that when Beixiong Tianwu was ambushed, he would first choose to break out in the direction of Sakura City, so most of the Chu army's troops
All are hidden in the direction of Sakura City.
"Come on!"
"kill!"
Beixiong's Tianwu sword pointed straight ahead, and the soldiers urged their horses to rush forward quickly. Less than a hundred meters away, the spears piercing the void penetrated the bodies of the soldiers in the front.
Seeing that all the soldiers in front of them were pierced to the ground by spears, no one of Fusang's enemy soldiers dared to move forward. At this time, they only heard the sound of galloping horse hooves.
, led by generals Yue Fei, attacked and killed them.
The cold wind roared, soldiers clashed, and the world was filled with the sounds of killing shouts, screams, and arrows hitting the air.
The Fuso soldiers were already besieged on all sides. Beixiu Tianwu did not believe that the Chu army would have such a strong force. The Chu army suffered heavy losses in the next battle at Sakura Castle. The remaining defeated soldiers who fled back to Edo Castle were less than 30,000. They have been guarding the foot of Edo Castle since last night.
, it is impossible for the Chu army to appear and set up an ambush again.
Could it be......................
Beixiong Tianwu was so frightened by the thoughts that flashed through his mind that a chill ran down his spine. If it was as he guessed, this Chu army would have set up another ambush as early as yesterday.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. No matter how clever Chu Emperor is, he cannot know what has not happened yet."
Beixiong Tianwu abandoned the thoughts in his mind, held the sword tightly in his hand, and glanced sideways at the two lieutenants beside him.
"Gangcun Ming, Xiaodao Yang, our troops broke out in three groups and met at the foot of Sakura Castle!"
"General, the passage directly ahead is the closest to Sakura City. The Chu army has already hidden its troops, and the general will lead a breakout from the front."
Gang Cunming's determined voice sounded. He turned around, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly: "The time has come to be loyal to the empire. All the soldiers will join me in killing the Chu army!"
Beixiong Tianwu glanced at Gang Cunming, who had been brothers with him in the past, and then returned to his horse and led the army to charge to one side.
Snowflakes swirled and flew in the void, ghosts cried and wolves howled in the cold wind, and wars clashed between heaven and earth. The sound shook the sky and resounded through the top of the clouds. (To be continued)
