Why did the three of them become deserters here? Of course they followed Xu Zhiqian's arrangement and pretended to be deserters to prevent Qi Yuan from sending people to investigate the battle situation.
Qi Yuan rushed to Shuimen Pass. If he had been more careful, he might have sent an advance force into the pass to check the situation. In this case, their plan to invite you to enter the urn and close the gate to beat the dog came to nothing.
However, Qin Shou disguised himself as a deserter and accidentally met Qi Yuan on the way to escape, which invisibly prompted him to enter Shuimen Pass immediately...
This is a psychological game between Xu Zhiqian and Qi Yuan. They deliberately asked Qin Shou to tell Qi Yuan two pieces of information.
As soon as the news came, General Yi, the commander of Chengchai at Shuimen Pass, saw that the reinforcements from the capital did not arrive in time, so he took his confidants and fled, leaving his soldiers behind.
Qi Yuan would not doubt Qin Shou's words, firstly because they were indeed late, and secondly because Qi Yuan knew that General Yi was born a bandit and had no loyalty at all, so it was natural for him to betray his trust.
The second news was that Shuimen Pass was about to be lost. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin and Shou decisively withdrew from the front line and became deserters. This was very common on the battlefield.
Even though the general issued a death order, asking them to defend the checkpoint, the problem is... their generals have all run away. They have been able to hold on until now, which is considered the end of their benevolence. Seeing that the enemy is about to invade the checkpoint, don't they run and wait to die? Anyway, it is against military discipline.
It's death, and running away is also death. It's better to run away, maybe you can escape.
Qi Yuan subconsciously believed Qin Shou's words, or he thought Qin Shou's words were relatively credible because Qin Shou took the initiative to admit his mistake and admitted that he was a deserter.
Human psychology is like this. Taking the initiative to admit after making a mistake can win people's trust. At least Qi Yuan subconsciously believed that Qin Shou is a guy who dares to make mistakes and admit when he is wrong. Therefore, Qin Shou must be a 'deserter' and deceive others.
Qi Yuan's little trust...
This little bit of trust was enough to erase Qi Yuan's pettiness and prompt him to drive straight into Shuimen Pass.
The reason is that Qi Yuan believed that Qin Shou was a deserter, so he acquiesced that Shuimen Pass had not been lost, but the situation was so critical that the soldiers who were ordered to hold the pass did not hesitate to escape in violation of military orders in order to save their lives.
The war situation was urgent, so Qi Yuan didn't bother to waste any more time. He sent people into the checkpoint to investigate, and immediately rushed to the front line for rescue.
Admittedly, Qi Yuan never dreamed that his carelessness or lack of caution at this time would lead them to a point of no return.
Boom!
Qi Yuan led 6,000 cavalry into Shuimen Pass. The gate behind him suddenly dropped. Hearing the unusual sound, even a fool knew that there was a trick.
However, before Qi Yuan could look back, the dark open space on both sides of the city wall suddenly lit up countless flames like lights from thousands of houses.
"Fire arrows!" Isabel smiled coldly from the tower and gave an order to fire all the rockets, like thousands of meteorites across the night sky, hitting the six thousand rebel cavalry.
"Charge at full speed!" Qi Yuan roared angrily and ordered the cavalry to charge and get out of the tower's arrow range as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the cavalry fell off their horses one after another less than fifty meters forward...
"No! There's a trap!"
Although Zhou Xingyun failed to play a key role in the attack on Shuimen Pass in the time he bought by causing a riot in the capital, he gave everyone ample time to arrange their troops after the pass was captured.
Nowadays, inside Shuimen Pass, not only are horse-trapping ropes deployed, but the front is also lined with cylindrical spiked horse-rejecting stakes. Even if the horses break out of the trap, they will hit the spiked heads of the wooden stakes.
Of course, it is even worse for those who fall off the horse, because the ground is covered with fatal spikes. If you are unlucky, you will feel a chill in your heart the moment you fall off the horse, and the spikes will pierce your heart and lungs.
You know, in order to race against time to set up traps and ambush the main reinforcements sent from the capital, Xu Zhiqian gave up the encirclement and suppression of the thousands of troops who came from 'Longmen Pass' for support, and asked the officers of Chengchai to personally meet the reinforcements from 'Longmen Pass' and tell them
The enemy forces on the other side have been repulsed, and 'Shuimen Pass' is safe and sound. Thank you all for coming to the rescue...
In the dark night, invisible traps, countless rockets, and the call of death descended on the six thousand rebel cavalry.
The six thousand rebels fell into chaos and were suddenly ambushed. They were beaten so hard that they couldn't tell where was the world and where was purgatory.
"All troops attack!" Zhou Xingyun gave the order with high spirits. When the enemy was in panic, he picked up his spear and killed him: "It's time for you to also taste the feeling of being beaten!"
"You... idiot!" Wei Suyuan was speechless. Just now she told Zhou Xingyun that you have just recovered from your injuries and have experienced another battle today. When ambushing the enemy at night, you must not act nonsense or charge, and you must be honest.
I really followed the big army to get some bargains, but the result...
Hahaha, I understand what you are saying, but I can’t do it for my husband!
Wei Suyao had no choice but to catch up with Zhou Xingyun to escort him.
Zhou Xingyun rushed out, and Rao Yue, Mo Nianxi, Mu Hanxing and other friends could not let him do whatever he wanted, so they naturally followed Zhou Xingyun's footsteps and formed a razor-sharp team to charge into the enemy's formation invincibly.
In fact, Zhou Xingyun was forced to do this because there was a guy who had already killed Qi Yuan before he gave the order.
Xuanyuan Chongwu almost planned to take advantage of the chaos of the rebels to seek revenge on Qi Yuan. Zhou Xingyun was worried about this guy, so he had to lead his team to kill him.
"Thank you..." Although Xuanyuan Fengxue is cute and cute, Xuanyuan Chongwu is her brother after all. After the war, her brother immediately rushed towards the enemy general, which shocked her.
"You're welcome, we are a family." Zhou Xingyun smiled gently at the eldest lady beside him.
"Well..." Xuanyuan Fengxue blushed and nodded, then looked at Qi Yuan and said, "He is the enemy of our Xuanyuan family."
"I know, my brother-in-law told me."
"Maybe I am overestimating my abilities, but I want to help Chongwu." Xuanyuan Fengxue consulted Zhou Xingyun in a weak manner.
Xuanyuan Fengxue is a cold young lady in front of others, but when she faces Zhou Xingyun, she behaves very weakly. She will ask his opinion first in everything, and only after getting his permission can Xuanyuan Fengxue dare to act.
It is probably because Xuanyuan Fengxue obeyed Zhou Xingyun under semi-forced circumstances, and Zhou Xingyun saved the Xuanyuan family, which made the eldest lady psychologically dependent on him, but also a little in awe of him.
Xuanyuan Fengxue had an indescribable feeling, as if... Zhou Xingyun was her source of confidence. If Zhou Xingyun supported her and allowed her to do something, she would definitely succeed, otherwise, she would fail...
"I'll go with you, that boy Chongwu, he can't become a talent without my help." Zhou Xingyun took advantage of Xuanyuan Chongwu's absence and kissed Xuanyuan Fengxue's little mouth fiercely.
You know, the opportunity to tease Xuanyuan Fengxue is very rare. Today, Zhou Xingyun bypassed Xuanyuan Chongwu and got what he wanted, kissing the girl Fangze again.
"Which of you has seen Chongwu's figure?" Zhou Xingyun asked everyone. Because the battlefield was very chaotic and there were people everywhere, it was not easy to find someone.
"I didn't see him...but I saw the enemy's general! Right in the north!" Mu Hanxing had good eyesight and occasionally glanced at Qi Yuan.
"Yun, there are all masters over there..." Tang Yuanying grabbed Zhou Xingyun's clothes in fear. Although the rebels were seriously injured in the ambush, the little woman could see that the 6,000 soldiers who arrived at the checkpoint this time were the enemy's elite troops.
Soldiers with less strength are still more powerful than second-rate warriors.
Among them, the soldiers in the north are particularly sharp. They should all be top-notch warriors, and the number of top masters is probably not less than a few hundred.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Zhou Xingyun also knew that the guards around Qi Yuan were all experts, but they had to rush over, otherwise Xuanyuan Chongwu would be killed and they would not even have a chance to rescue him.
"No... I'm worried about you." Tang Yuanying looked at Zhou Xingyun lovingly. What she was most afraid of now was that Zhou Xingyun would suddenly... just like in the Battle of Apocalypse.
"Then there's no need to worry, I have you by my side." Zhou Xingyun smiled nonchalantly, and then rushed north decisively.
A chaotic night battle broke out. Zhou Xingyun led his friends and charged into the enemy's formation fearlessly. Upon seeing this, Han Qiumiao immediately ordered the soldiers to join them in the charge.
At the same time, Xu Zhiqian lit the extinguished beacon tower again and told the soldiers at "Longmen Pass" that "Shuimen Pass" was attacked again.
Previously, strategic deployment was needed, and Xu Zhiqian could only ask Chengchai officers at Shuimen Pass to persuade the reinforcements sent from Longmen Pass. Now that the reinforcements coming from the capital have become turtles in the jar, the little cute thing once again put out a fishing line to lure the enemy.
Reinforcements...
When the soldiers at "Longmen Pass" saw the smoke rising again at "Shuimen Pass" calling for help, they would probably be so angry that they would curse.
More than an hour ago, General Yi, the commander-in-chief of "Shuimen Pass", told them with a playful smile that the enemy troops were insufficient and had been repulsed by them. Thank you for coming to the rescue.
Then, as if they were afraid that they would steal their military exploits, they were sent back to Longmen Pass. As a result... less than half a day later, the smoke for help rose again. Wouldn't this be frustrating?
It is true that if you are angry, you will be angry. The soldiers of "Longmen Pass" cannot ignore death. Even if they are reluctant, they will send troops to reinforce "Shuimen Pass".
Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be in danger. Xu Zhiqian once saw the reinforcements sent from 'Longmen Pass'. She had information about the enemy's troops and knew that they had sent a thousand troops to come to 'Shuimen Pass' in two men and one horse.
Therefore, Xu Zhiqian watched the food being served and asked the deacons of Qi Gong Palace, Jing Dao Sect, Biyuan Villa, Leshan Sect, etc. to take their disciples, about 500 people, to ambush the "Longmen Pass" reinforcements on the mountain path.
In addition, Mu Ya will also lead Rao Yue's confidants, the hundred-strong "You Yu Luoyue Arch Team" to accompany them in the battle...
The gate of 'Shuimen Pass' fell, and Mu Ya, Yu Xingzi, Wan Dingtian and others who were lurking outside the pass immediately rushed to the mountain path according to the plan, preparing to ambush the reinforcements sent from 'Longmen Pass'.
In fact, Mu Ya and others were the insurance set up by Xu Zhiqian. If Qi Yuan was not fooled and still cautiously sent out scouts to explore the "Shuimen Pass", then Mu Ya and others would ambush Qi Yuan in the suburbs outside the pass and block the enemy.
retreat.
In this way, although we cannot close the door and annihilate all the reinforcements sent by the capital, we can still inflict heavy damage on the enemy as much as possible.
Now that the plan was going smoothly, Qi Yuan was ambushed, and Mu Ya and others took the next step and rushed to the mountain path to ambush the reinforcements at 'Longmen Pass'.
