Wengcheng Barracks.

Leng Kui was sitting in Leng Hua's tent, his master had given up the tent to King Liang, and now he was resting at Leng Hua's side.

The two lost their grandson and younger brother, and their hearts were filled with grief, and their dissatisfaction with Qin Canglan's family reached its peak.

"Grandfather, we can't go on like this anymore. Your Majesty sent Qin Canglan here just to scare Bei Yan, not to go into battle to kill the enemy."

Although Leng Hua took the lead in the battle, he hoped that he would be the commander in chief, not Qin Canglan.

Leng Kui said: "You think I'm willing? That King Liang didn't come sooner or later, but he came at this time, and it's a big deal for me!"

King Liang is the eldest son of the emperor, who dare not listen to his words?

What's more, why King Liang came to the border all of a sudden, and whether he followed His Majesty's secret decree is still unknown.

Leng Hua said: "Today's battle with Beiyan, Beiyan's strength is no more than this, even without Qin Canglan, grandson can still beat them to death!"

He didn't even think about it, if Qin Canglan hadn't frightened the soldiers of Beiyan, how could he shake Beiyan's morale so easily?

He would not admit it in his heart, he would only think that Beiyan was so weak in the first place, and he became more and more determined in his idea of ​​main battle all along.

Leng Kui glanced at him: "You are only facing Tuoba Lie, don't forget Beiyan also has Helian Ye."

Leng Hua inadvertently agreed: "Why does grandfather want to spoil his own prestige with others' ambition?"

Leng Kui said: "I'm just talking about the facts. I don't want the Leng family to become the second Wei family. Besides, His Majesty doesn't want to start a war."

Leng Hua frowned and said, "I have never understood that Bei Yan lost five years ago, so why is it His Majesty who is afraid?"

Leng Kui paused: "Because the price is too heavy, how many generals have died in the Wei family, and what has become of the state treasury's deficit? Your Majesty even feels that if Qin Canglan hadn't been transferred back then, he might have died in Beibei as well." In the hands of Yan people."

Leng Hua: "I don't think so. To win is to win. How can you not pay the price in war? Speaking of misery, isn't Bei Yan even worse? His Majesty vented his anger, and Bei Yan's ambition grew. "

Leng Kui said sternly: "Enough! Your Majesty is something you can't say!"

"Grandson knows his mistake." Leng Huayan admitted his mistake insincerely, "But grandfather, His Majesty has already fought if he doesn't want to fight anymore, and there is no turning back when he draws the bow. Is this military exploit going to be handed over to the Duke Protector?"

These words hit Leng Kui's Achilles' heel.

He has guarded the border for many years and has made great achievements. In the end, it would be too aggrieved to give up the credit for just one battle.

"But King Liang—"

"Grandfather, grandson has a plan."

Leng Kui looked at him.

Leng Hua got up and went outside the tent, asked the guard a few words, returned to his seat, and smiled at Leng Kui: "It's already midnight, Su Mo and Qin Su haven't come back yet, they went out through the east gate .”

"Go to Wancheng?" Leng Kui asked.

Leng Hua said: "It doesn't matter where we go, we just lie that the two of them were ambushed by the Beiyan people, and ask Qin Canglan to lead troops to rescue them. Of course, we can only take away that girl's Red Shadow Army. The strength of the Leng family cannot be handed over to Qin Canglan for squandering."

Leng Kui looked at him suspiciously: "Do you want to—"

Leng Hua sneered: "Give Tuoba Lie a message, tell him where Qin Canglan is, and ask him to lead troops to encircle Qin Canglan."

Leng Kui was a little moved.

Because of the surprise attack, the peace talks at the beginning were destroyed. If they could take this opportunity to sell Tuoba Lie a favor, they might be able to ease their relationship and restore the possibility of peace talks.

He did this for Da Zhou, not for his own selfish desires.

Leng Kui had a way to contact Tuoba Lie, he found his confidant and asked him to go to Xiaofeng Mountain.

He himself found Qin Canglan and told about the "discovery" of the Leng family's scouts outside the east city.

"Beiyan has about 5,000 troops."

Don't say too much, because it's too much, and Qin Canglan needs a lot of troops, if he asks himself to borrow troops, he has no reason not to.

Qin Canglan believed him to be a ghost.

I'm afraid that if I take the Red Shadow Army out with my front foot, I will be ambushed by Beiyan's army on my back foot.

But Qin Canglan still went.

Because if part of Tuoba Lie's troops can be taken away, the pressure on the precious granddaughter and Su Mo can be reduced.

There are casualties in the battle during the daytime. There are 10,000 red shadow troops, but there are still 9,000 combat troops left.

Qin Canglan led nine thousand soldiers out of the east gate of Wengcheng.

Zhang Yong asked: "Marshal, how are we going to fight tonight?"

Qin Canglan said flatly, "No."

Zhang Yong was startled: "Huh?"

Qin Canglan said casually, "Go around in circles until dawn."

...

In the barracks.

Tuoba Lie looked at the black-robed master in front of him, and asked, "Are you sure Qin Canglan only brought nine thousand troops?"

The master said: "Sure, and they don't have cavalry."

Without cavalry, it means that the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Today, Qin Canglan's attack was too sudden, and the terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat. Beiyan's cavalry did not show much advantage, but if it is outside, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is average. The number of arms is more than multiple.

Ten thousand cavalry is more than enough to destroy nine thousand troops.

To be cautious, Tuoba Lie brought a total of 30,000 troops.

At the thought of being able to kill Qin Canglan, Tuoba Lie felt that his injuries had healed!

Su Mo and Su Xiaoxiao came out with Jing Yi behind their backs. The camp seemed to be counting troops, and the originally tight defense suddenly had a flaw.

The two hid their figures behind a tent.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What's going on? Are they going to send troops?"

Su Mo hummed: "It seems yes, Tuoba also called the dead man away."

If the dead men around were not called away suddenly, they would not have brought Jing Yi out so smoothly.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "It's strange, who is Tuoba Lie going to attack in the middle of the night? It seems...only took away most of the troops?"

Su Mo also felt baffled, but no matter what, Tuoba Lie's army and dead soldiers left too timely: "Let's go back first."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "OK."

Su Xiaoxiao took out a cloak and put it on Jing Yi.

Su Mo asked strangely, "Didn't you throw away the cloak?"

When I just changed the armor.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Hey, you read it wrong, I put it away."

Into the pharmacy.

Su Mo: "Oh."

Everything my sister says is right.

The two left the barracks.

The movement of Tuoba Lie's troops was too loud, their footsteps were completely covered up, and everything went very smoothly.

However, when they came to the foot of the mountain, they suddenly ran into a few dead men with ghost faces who turned back.

They came back to guard Jing Yi, there were ten of them in total, and each of them held a ferocious mace in their hands.

It was this group of people who beat Jing Yi seriously and took him away. Their methods were cruel and their martial arts were extremely high.

Things got worse, Su Mo blocked Su Xiaoxiao behind him, and began to untie the rope on his waist: "I'll kill them, you take Jing Yi and go first."

However, Su Xiaoxiao came out from behind Su Mo, and made a stop gesture to the eight people with her silver-gloved hand: "Wait first! You wear masks, and we have to wear them too! This is only fair!"

After all, she took out three gas masks from the pharmacy, one for herself and Jing Yi, and the other for Su Mo.

The dead man has never seen such a mask with sharp eyes, and he won't be able to fix it for a while.

In the next second, Su Xiaoxiao released the five tigers, took out the gastrodia elata, and the poisonous gas that had been sealed for several days spread out.

The eight people didn't understand what was going on at all, so their legs went limp, and they fell to the ground one by one.

Su Mo, who was ready to fight to the death: "..."

"call!"

Su Xiaoxiao took a long breath, okay, okay, this thing is still very useful.

But it should not be exposed to the cold wind for too long, which will make the gastrodia elata lose its activity.

She took it as soon as it was ready, put the Xueyu gastrodia elata back into the sealed bag, and threw it into the pharmacy.

Seeing that the crisis was approaching, Su Mo re-tightened the rope around his waist.

Even when the two were about to move on, there was a slow clap of applause from the hillside behind them.

Crack, crack, crack.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

The two paused, and turned around following the sound.

Su Xiaoxiao fought in the canyon during the day and did not go deep into the rear of the enemy camp, but Su Mo fought against Tuoba Lie and his confidantes.

He recognized the other party at a glance, it was Tuoba Lie's confidant and lieutenant general Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng stayed far away, and was not poisoned by Xueyu Tianma.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo condescendingly: "General Tuoba guessed it right. The general told me before he left that once he led his troops away, someone would come in to rescue this half-dead hostage." The general has a clever plan, one hostage, three, this deal is really a bargain!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You hurt Jing Yi?"

Qi Sheng laughed arrogantly: "Ah, you said the whip wounds on his body? Yes, so what if I did it? This kid really deserves a beating. If it were someone else, he would have died after being whipped twice by me. With such a serious injury, I have been whipped seven to forty-nine times, and I am still breathing."

Seventy-seven forty-nine whips... Su Xiaoxiao's every bone was filled with murderous aura, she looked at him coldly, and said word by word, "I will take it back."

"Hahaha!" Qi Sheng seemed to have heard some big joke, "You are about to become a prisoner yourself, and you still want to whip the general, I see, you might as well think about how to kneel down and beg for mercy, and let the general It’s better to give you less whips!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo shot a dart with his backhand, and it flew past Qi Sheng's helmet.

Qi Sheng's cheek was cut, and a trace of scarlet blood flowed out.

He wiped the wound with his fingertips, looked at the blood on it, and his eyes turned cold: "You are looking for death! Someone! Shoot me an arrow!"

He gave an order, and the archers behind him came out in unison, drew their bows and aimed at Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo.

Just when they were about to release arrows, a rain of arrows shot from a higher mountain.

Qi Sheng's archers fell to the ground in unison, howling.

Qi Sheng was taken aback, he quickly drew out his long sword, and chopped off the cold arrow that almost hit him.

"Who! Who!"

He shouted angrily.

On the snow-capped mountains, ghostly figures appeared one after another, each holding a bow and crossbow, and surrounded Qi Sheng's army.

Qi Sheng was stunned.

The main force of the Great Zhou was obviously in Wengcheng, where did these tens of thousands of troops come from?

Afterwards, he saw a tall figure standing on the top of a majestic mountain. The red drape on the silver armor fluttered in the cold wind. He descended like a god, and walked out of purgatory like Yama.

Qi Sheng's face changed drastically: "Wei Ting?!"

He's all bad!

Why is Wei Ting here? Also brought so many troops? Why have they no news at all?

The two names most feared by Beiyan soldiers are Qin Canglan and Wei Ting.

At that time, the entire Wei family died in battle, leaving only one young man, Wei Ting. He was the number one scholar and a scholar, and no one took him seriously. Zhenwei's army took back Wu'an Jun's body, and killed Bei Yan to the point where he was powerless to fight back.

Qi Sheng was the only general who survived that battle, and the rest... were all killed by Wei Ting!

Qi Sheng panicked.

General Tuoba went to kill Qin Canglan and took away 30,000 troops, and now there are more than 20,000 troops left in the camp.

Wait, General Tuoba should not have gone far——

Qi Sheng hurriedly took out the fireworks to send a signal to Tuoba Lie.

Wei Ting drew his longbow and shot down the bamboo tube with one arrow!

Wei Ting looked at Qi Sheng and the Beiyan army behind him indifferently, and ordered: "Kill, don't leave a single one behind!"

Fat badge, the monthly pass can be voted for once, to buy bird food for the five tigers.
