"Young master, if we walk three miles further, we will reach the bamboo forest where Qingzhu Village is located!" The leader of the White Lotus Sect wearing a mask in white said to Zhang Wuyan, who was also dressed in white: "There are a lot of traps set up by the people of Qingzhu Village in the bamboo forest. We only have to
You can only go through it head-on."
Zhao Wuyan squinted his eyes: "Then let's go from the front. If you can take down my eldest brother, you must have some strength. Have you found those traitors?"
The leader in white shook his head: "There is no news yet."
Zhao Wuyan glanced at the sky: "Hurry up!"
"Yes!" the leader in white responded. Zhao Wuyan did not continue to ask and walked towards the bamboo forest in the distance. The sweat on the forehead of the leader in white fell drop by drop. He didn't know whether Zhao Wuyan knew something or...
The traitors were the men in white who did not protect Zhao Wuji that day. They originally wanted to wait until the battle in Qingzhu Village was over before looking for opportunities to rescue Zhao Wuji, but who knew those people in Qingzhu Village were so ruthless and killed Zhao Wuji's head directly?
Cut it off and hang it on the city gate without even giving them a chance to save it.
They had no choice but to send the news back and find a place to hide. Although Zhao Wuji's death had nothing to do with them, they were too weak to rescue Zhao Wuji from it.
Zhao Wuyan's only relative died. He wanted to find some people to go down to accompany his brother. People from Qingzhu Village, people from Xuanshui Village, and those guards who were not able to protect him had to go down to accompany his brother.
Now the people from Xuanshui Village have left and are rushing to Qingzhu Village. After Qingzhu Village, the next target is the guards.
Those people had a close relationship with him, and he couldn't just watch his brothers being killed by Zhao Wuyan just because they failed to protect them.
But Zhao Wuji's power and power left him with no way to resist or object. He could only hide the guards to avoid being discovered by Zhao Wuyan.
But now he felt something was wrong from Zhao Wuyan's words. Zhang Wuyan should have suspected him. After all, when he was with his brothers before, he often saw Zhao Wuyan.
The leader in white followed the army all the way. There was no good way now. He could only take one step at a time. Soon they entered the capital bamboo forest. Some bamboo shoots had already appeared in the spring bamboo forest, and the spiritual bamboo shoots were still gestating. About a month later
You can see the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.
There are densely packed bamboos on both sides. The visibility in the bamboo forest is very low. It’s not that the light in the bamboo forest is not good. There are so many bamboos on both sides. It’s like seeing a wall made of bamboos surrounding the White Lotus Sect’s army.
There are small fish falling in the sky, and the road in the bamboo forest is a bit slippery. The White Lotus Sect army is not marching very fast. Now they are not far from Qingzhu Village. As long as there are some scouts and sentry posts in Qingzhu Village, they will find the White Lotus Sect troops.
Zhao Wuyan never thought about attacking Qingzhu Village by surprise. He wanted to take down Qingzhu Village in a dignified manner, massacre the entire Qingzhu Village, and let all the people in Qingzhu Village bury him with him.
The men and horses of the White Lotus Sect have just entered the bamboo forest. To be precise, the whereabouts of the men and horses of the White Lotus Sect have been under Zhang Qingyun's control. Once they entered the bamboo forest, these people appeared on Xiang Li's mini-map.
As long as there are spies and scouts from Xiliang soldiers around the White Lotus Sect troops, these people cannot avoid them.
Qingzhu Village
Prime Minister Li waited for the arrival of fifty swordsmen and a hundred archers, so that the prisoners who were still a little uneasy could completely feel at ease.
The knighthood exuded by swordsmen and archers is more convincing than that of spearmen.
The archers and swordsmen guard the walls of Qingzhu Village, and the spearmen can relax a little.
When the archer and swordsman appeared, Zhou Yulan also ran out to take a look. If the spearman was a long sword hidden in the scabbard, then the archer and swordsman were like two sharp swords.
Sword.
She originally thought that the spearmen were all the troops in the Xiliang camp. The appearance of swordsmen and archers made her know that there were many things that she did not know completely.
Archers are a type of weapon that is difficult to train. Outside the Northwest Pass, there is a force of archers, consisting of hundreds of archer troops.
Because archers need longbows and arrow feathers, they need to be supported by a strong force.
From the information, Xiliang Camp looks like a newly established force. But a new force can train archers in just a few months?
The archers in the Xiliang camp were not just embroidered pillows. She saw those soldiers shooting down the birds flying in the sky. Those soldiers were as sharp as eagle eyes, which made Zhou Yulan feel a little confused.
Shocked.
Swordsmen, another type of weapon, wear standard leather armor. The weapons in their hands are much better than those in the hands of spearmen, and their aura is also superior to that of spearmen.
From the swordsmen, she could clearly feel their cultivation. These swordsmen put a lot of pressure on her, and every one of them had to practice.
Zhou Yulan wrote down everything she saw and felt in the letter. These messages were very important.
Before, her father only thought that the Xiliang camp was a fog released by a big force, but they must take everything she observed today seriously.
If the weapons and various equipment in the hands of the archers and swordsmen of the Xiliang Camp are made by the Xiliang Camp themselves, then the attention to the Xiliang Camp will increase, and the Xiliang Camp will likely affect their plans outside the Northwest Pass.
When Li Xiang was in the Xiliang camp, he asked his blacksmith to make an iron halberd out of iron materials. He could also use it like swords, but the halberd he used most in the training camp was the halberd.
Currently, the camp does not have the technology to make a halberd, and Li Xiang just needs an over-the-top weapon. After he completes the training, he will get the weapons, armor, and war horses left by Marquis Wen.
The iron halberd made by the blacksmith is not light in weight. They use the best iron materials and hammer it repeatedly. It took ten people three days to build this iron halberd. It is three and a half meters long and weighs forty-five kilograms.
At this time, Li Xiang's height has reached more than 2.1 meters, and the 3.5-meter weapon does not look very long in his hand. The weight of 45 kilograms is much lighter than Fang Tian's painted halberd in training.
The Hengdao was damaged in the battle with the big man. Li Xiang took a new Hengdao from the trophies. Compared with other knives, he preferred the Hengdao, a knife with good armor-breaking capabilities.
The armor technology in the camp has been developed, but due to material reasons, iron armor has not yet been created. Li Xiang wore a black leather armor and carried the longbow he carried from the beginning.
Zhang Qingyun stands next to Li Xiang like a child standing next to an adult. Zhang Qingyun is not short, but in front of Li Xiang's height of 2.1 meters, he looks very short. In addition, Zhang Qingyun has a thin body, as if
With a physique similar to that of a black bear, there is a huge gap between the two standing together.
"My lord, my subordinates believe that we should wait in Qingzhu Village. Qingzhu Village has walls and traps everywhere. If the enemy wants to attack, they can only attack from the front of our army!
If you go out to ambush, if you are discovered by the enemy, you will probably fall into a melee!"
Li Xiangzhong saw that Bailian's men and horses entered the bamboo forest and wanted to lead an army out to ambush. Zhang Qingyun immediately stood up to oppose it after learning about it.
Qingzhu Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now they have a hundred archers. With these archers, they have become invincible in Qingzhu Village.
The White Lotus Sect has been unable to attack for a long time, and the opponent's food is limited, so they will definitely not linger near Qingzhu Village for too long. There is no need for them to fight to the death with the White Lotus Sect's troops.
Li Xiang was not angry because of Zhang Qingyun's objection. He smiled and said to Zhang Qingyun: "There are traps all around Qingzhu Village. Only the big boss has the trap map. Now the big boss is missing, and the reason why Qingzhu Village has lost so much is because
The White Lotus Sect supports Xuanshui Village, which is why Qingzhu Village was lost. Therefore, the leader will not appear in the White Lotus Sect, so the White Lotus Sect cannot attack from other directions.
You have been sending spies to the White Lotus Sect a lot these days. With the cultivation of those in the White Lotus Sect, it is easy to find spies. Even though they knew that you were sending spies all the way, they still marched towards Qingzhu Village, which means they did not attack Qingzhu Village.
Keep it in mind, otherwise they wouldn't even clean up the spies."
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke: "The art of war is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared. The White Lotus Sect thought that we would rely on the defense facilities of Qingzhu Village to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with them. They never thought that we would set up an ambush in the bamboo forest.
What I want is not to repel the White Lotus Sect, but to keep the White Lotus Sect troops here!"
Xiliang soldiers need experience. The experience gained through practice is very slow. They need killing, unlimited killing!
"Surprise them by surprise, attack them unprepared!" Zhang Qingyun murmured in his mouth after hearing the words spoken by Prime Minister Li. He had also read some military books, and they all had similar meanings to this sentence, but they were not so refined and straightforward.
White, clear!
Li Xiang patted the thin Zhang Qingyun and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. I will leave a hundred spearmen in the camp, and then pull the prisoners to the city wall to stand guard, patrol, and start moving."
"Lord, do you want to paralyze the other party's scouts?" Zhang Qingyun came back to his senses.
Li Xiang nodded: "Before the war, the other side will definitely send some people to check in front of the camp. You need to give them the impression that Qingzhu Village is actively preparing for war!"
"My subordinate understands!"
Zhang Qingyun was not against Li Xiang. Just as Li Xiang said, he was caught by surprise and attacked unprepared. The White Lotus Sect certainly never thought that the troops in Qingzhu Village would be waiting for them on the road!
Li Xiang led his men and horses from the bamboo forest behind the camp. Li Xiang walked at the front, breaking the traps in the bamboo forest one by one, opening a road and walking towards a dense forest in the distance.
The bamboo forest was very dense. Li Xiang also asked his soldiers to cut down a large number of bamboos in one place and tie them into rows. There was light rain in the sky and water vapor filled the air. There were bamboos everywhere in the bamboo forest, more than twenty meters apart.
, look at these tied bamboo rafts like a bamboo forest.
The place where Li Xiang chose to ambush was not very far from the Qingzhuzhai camp. The distance between this bamboo forest and the camp was only one mile.
If they had just entered the bamboo forest, the people of the White Lotus Sect might still be afraid of being ambushed, but this place is less than 500 meters away from the Qingzhu Village camp. Would anyone ambush them here?
Li Xiang wants to take advantage of this impossible mentality of the other party!
