Chapter 62 Sudden Risk
Leaving the fishing bend, He Ran went straight to Geqiong City. Three days later, he arrived outside the city. He asked the soldiers who guarded the city and learned that there was no news of the Phoenix King. He beat up in his heart. He didn't even enter the city and went straight to Zhengdong in a hurry. Along the way, he divided 2,000 people into dozens of ways and spread a net of nearly two hundred miles.
He marched in the middle with four hundred Tibetan sages and lit a beacon every fifty miles. He knew that Xiao Xiao would be extremely cautious when he came back and approached Geqiong City. She had to plan to defeat Xinyan.
After more than 200 miles, there was still no news. He began to panic. At night, he ordered people to light a large bonfire in Gaoqiu.
Xi Qun frowned and advised: "Military division, it is no longer appropriate to mark the route with beacons all the way. We are not familiar with the place here. It is too dangerous to light such a big bonfire. If the king comes back safely, sooner or later, we will meet each other sooner or later. If we really call the enemy soldiers, it will be..."
"There are not so many enemy soldiers. It's only two or three hundred miles away from Geqiong. It belongs to the hinterland of the king. It will be fine."
Xi Qun knew that the military division was anxious and did not dare to say more, so he had to secretly send more outposts to strengthen his guard.
This time, Xi Qun really said that the two sad and fierce whistles sounded in the middle of the night shocked all the children of Zangxian Valley to jump up, and immediately set up an array to guard the military division's bedroom without orders.
He Ran was shocked. As soon as he put on his armor, Xi Qun came in with a knife to report: "Military division, there are enemy soldiers in the north and west. The number is unknown. It seems that he is going to attack us secretly. He was found by the secret whistle and retreated."
He Ran frowned. He asked the military guide before that there were no other hostile tribes around. Did the white lotus come back? Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tightened. If it was really a white lotus flower, wouldn't Xiao Xiao...
He suppressed his panicked mood and said to a guard, "Sneakly climb up the high hill and look around." Then he said to a thousand-hullor, "Blow the horn, gather the people nearby, keep blowing, and recall as much as you can."
"Military division, please fold back to Geqiong from the east immediately. I'll take someone to stop them." Xi Qun said anxiously.
He Ran said to himself, "It won't be a white lotus man. We haven't met a single soldier. She doesn't have the ability."
Xi Qun was so anxious that he was about to get angry. "No matter who's soldiers and horses it is, the safety of the military division is important, and it will be too late!" Seeing that he was still frowning and thinking, Xi Qun waited and said to Zhong Yu and other guards, "Your guards should go quickly from the east!"
At this time, Xi Qun has supreme authority. Zhong Jing and others came up and pulled He Ran away.
He Ran struggled hard and said, "Let go of me!"
Xi Qun urged, "Let's go!"
Zhong Yu and others hesitated and continued to pull He Ran out.
"There is an ambush in the east!" He Ran shouted. Thank you.
Zhong Yu and others stopped, but they still held him tightly and looked at the military division at a loss.
"How do I know?" Xi Qun asked urgently.
He Ran pushed Zhong Yu and others away and said, "The enemy is likely to have targeted us during the day. Knowing that we are from Geqiong's side, we will definitely retreat after the attack. They surrounded the west and north to force us to the east. It can be seen that they don't have much troops, otherwise they can surround us on all sides. He Our main force is in the east.
"Oh..." Xi Qun thought for a while and said, "Then I will take people out from the north. After killing and scattering the enemy, you protection soldiers will return to Geqiong City, and I will block them."
He Ran stared at several of his guards who wanted to pull him again, and scolded, "What's the hurry?! Do you have to win the soldiers if you run away in a hurry? I said that there won't be too many people. Our advantage is to fight in formation. Their advantage is just to gallop and chase. How can we give up our strengths? No one can survive if you run away!"
At this time, the seat group was no longer obedient and contradicted, "What if these are just the vanguard troops? Isn't it worse to wait for their army to come?
"The first troops will not startle the snake when they know they are not sure of winning."
"But what if the leader is a greedy man? This is not for sure."
He Ran looked at him quietly for a while and said, "This possibility is not great. We may have five points of confidence in fighting in formation, and we are not even three points in confidence in case of escape. There is no need to say more. When the enemy sees that I don't move, the enemy will probably rush for a while and force us to flee to the east. You go out and let the soldiers scatter the formation to panic, and a hundred people stop me. The enemy in the west, the remaining 300 people are always ready to ambush the enemy in the north, telling the brothers that they must kill the momentum. The enemy who kills is afraid but not to chase too far.
Xi Qun hesitated for a moment, and then nodded hard and went out to arrange it.
After almost half an hour, horse hiss came from both the west and the north, which made He Ran more convinced that the enemy troops on both sides were bluffing. How could there be no sneak attack?
The moonlight outside was hazy, and all the bonfires were extinguished. He immediately stood in front of the tent, and Zhong Yu and others were closely around.
In a moment, with the rushing sound of horses' hoofs, the enemy troops on the west and north appeared at the same time. They roared and rushed over. A thousand-fu commander said to He Ran through Wanjin's translation: "There are less than 200 people on both sides."
He Ran believed the judgment of these experienced generals and ordered him to go to the east to monitor the movement over there.
The enemy rushed to more than ten feet ago, and the children of 100 Tibetan sages in the west sent out the first round of sharp arrows, and then the bows and strings sounded endlessly. A hundred people actually shot a dense rain of arrows. The wailing then remembered that after the three rounds of arrows, the three children of 100 Tibetan sages Valley rushed out like wolves and tigers for a small team with spears.
On the north front, dozens of feet away, the pocket array laid by Xi Qun was not suddenly launched until the front of the enemy's killing. The children of Zangxian Valley, who were ambushed on both wings, quickly surrounded and surrounded. The enemy did not think that the other party could not panic under such circumstances. They felt that they were surrounded and panicked, but these people were all tough outlaws, and I knew the number of opponents, so I resisted desperately.
But as soon as they got started, they were soon frightened. The other party was not only proficient in swords and horses and cooperated with each other very tacitly. What's more, the opponent's desperate spirit seemed to be greater than them, and the moves were all the same way of fighting. If it was during the day, they would see that the eyes of these Tibetan sages Valley were red, and the military division was behind them. Who would care about their lives?
Originally, according to the strength, this group of enemy soldiers could hold on for a period of time, but with just one cup of tea, they lost their fighting spirit. Only 50 people were able to escape by throwing down a hundred and 10 corpses. When they turned to the west to help the battle, the enemy troops here also retreated. Under the leadership of Xi Qun, the children of Zangxian Valley made a unique call, which boosted the army's heart again with victory.
