Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

The next morning.

Shoot the tiger valley mouth.

"Load everything onto the carts, count the quantities, and make sure nothing is missing."

"Hurry up over there, install them all."

Li Jue and Guo Si were standing in the camp where they had been stationed the previous night, directing the soldiers to load all the boxes on the ground onto the wagons.

Two soldiers are carrying a heavy wooden box.

Suddenly, with a crack, the wooden box seemed to break due to rotting at the bottom, and a large amount of gold ingots poured out from the bottom of the box.

It was piled up on the ground.

Under the morning sunlight, the gold cakes reflected a golden glow.

"What are you doing?" Li Jue shouted and took two steps forward. "What's going on? Hurry up and pack it up."

The two soldiers nodded repeatedly, then began placing gold coins into another box.

The surrounding soldiers continued loading the remaining boxes onto the wagon.

Before long, after the camp was tidied up, the soldiers lined up in two rows again.

At the very front of the group, Li Jue and Guo Si, clad in armor, brandished their weapons and set off into Tiger-Shooting Valley.

...........

In that mountain hollow, several miles away from the forests on both sides of Shehu Valley.

The Qiang cavalrymen, waking up at dawn, began to prepare their warhorses.

Bei Gong Boyu, along with the old kings of Dianling Qiang, Zhong Qiang, and the leader of Shenlang Qiang, sat together, gnawing on yesterday's meat bones.

Suddenly, a Qiang soldier stumbled back.

"Old Wang, Old Wang, the Han Chinese troops have already set off."

The group of people sitting together immediately turned their heads to look at the soldier.

The leader of the Ginseng Wolf Qiang tribe stood up excitedly and asked, "Which direction did they go?"

"They've headed towards Tiger Shooting Valley."

"That's great!" The leader of the Ginseng Wolf Qiang looked at Beigong Boyu excitedly. "Now we can take action, right?"

Bei Gong Boyu grabbed a handful of grass from the grass beside him and wiped the grease off his hands.

He then looked at the Qiang soldiers and asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

"For example, there are fewer people in the team."

"Or are there many fewer goods?"

The Qiang soldiers shook their heads repeatedly to indicate that they did not.

"No, absolutely not."

The Qiang soldier explained, "We can see it clearly. The wagons are still the same, and the goods haven't been moved."

"When they were cleaning up the camp, two soldiers accidentally broke a wooden box that was full of gold coins."

hiss!

Upon hearing this, the group gasped in shock.

Gold cakes!

"Haha, it seems this guy is really rich." The leader of the Ginseng Wolf Qiang said with a loud laugh.

Bei Gong Boyu didn't reply but looked at the Qiang leaders and said, "The matter has already been explained beforehand."

"We can plunder the goods, but we absolutely cannot kill Duan Yu's family members or bring them out."

"We want to give him a warning and prevent him from taking up his post in Hanyang County, not to provoke his retaliation."

"We must not let a few women delay our important matters," Bei Gong Boyu said.

Both the old Wang from Dianlingqiang and the old Wang from Zhongqiang nodded.

Bei Gong Boyu's gaze fell on the leader of the Ginseng Wolf Qiang.

The leader of the Qiang tribe scoffed dismissively, "Fine, fine, I understand."

Bei Gong Boyu, who had just stood up, was relieved and said, "Alright, according to our plan from yesterday, we'll block their path in the middle of Shehu Valley, then attack from both sides and intercept them from the front and back. Let's go, we'll split up!"

After Bei Gong Boyu gave the order, the many Qiang soldiers in the mountain valley sprang into action.

............

The towering Longshan Mountains stand on both sides of Shehu Valley, with the Wei River Valley passing through the middle of the valley.

It was named Shehu Valley because the mountains on both sides were too steep and dangerous.

At this moment, more than a thousand carriages and horses were slowly moving forward in the valley.

The carriage wheels made a rustling sound as they rolled over the gravel on the ground.

The blazing sun overhead was blocked by the towering valleys on both sides, making the entire group walk in the shade of the mountain streams, which was much cooler than outside the valleys.

Li Jue and Guo Si led five hundred cavalrymen at the very front of the column.

He gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes constantly scanning the mountain streams on both sides.

It seemed as if they were searching for something.

Just as the group had been walking in the valley for almost half an hour.

Suddenly, a series of fierce howls rang out from both sides of the valley.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! There's an ambush! There's an ambush!"

Li Jue suddenly shouted loudly.

On both sides of the mountain stream ahead, groups of soldiers dressed in various animal skins, even their heads covered with animal skins, looking like savages, raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

The sound echoed through the valley.

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, huge rocks were pushed down from the ravine, crashing into the valley with a thunderous roar.

The Wei River flows to the left of the valley path.

The boulder fell into the Wei River, splashing water high into the sky.

The Qiang cavalry, who had been lying in ambush in the valley, brandished their weapons and began to shout loudly.

In an instant, chaos erupted within the convoy.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, get out, break out!"

"Protect the young lady and the madam and get them back! Turn around! Turn around!"

Li Jue and Guo Si shouted loudly.

Just as the two shouted, the panicked and confused rear guard immediately turned into the front guard and ran wildly back the way they had come.

The hundreds of carriages were immediately abandoned on both sides of the road.

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

Li Jue brandished his broadsword, and Guo Si and the other two quickly followed the vanguard.

In the valley, facing Li Jue and Guo Si as they charged through the sand, the old king of the Dianling Qiang and the leader of the Canlang Qiang led over a thousand cavalry.

Seeing that Li Jue and Guo Si were both running back the way they came, he was a little confused.

"Haha, is this the army under that so-called Tiger General of the Great Han Dynasty?"

"So easily defeated, they ran away already?"

Holding a long spear, the leader of the Qiang tribe laughed and pointed at the fleeing Li Jue and Guo Si.

The old king of Dianling Qiang, who was riding a horse beside him, was also a little confused.

indeed.

It is said that the soldiers under Duan Yu's command were skilled in battle, and Duan Yu himself was known as a tiger general of the world.

With only a thousand or so cavalrymen, they decisively defeated several thousand Southern Xiongnu cavalrymen, threw the Xianbei of Tanhan Mountain into chaos, and killed over ten thousand.

Why are they already showing fear before the battle even begins?

"Should we give chase and join forces with Beigong Boyu to attack from both sides?" the old king of Dianling Qiang asked the chief of Shenlang Qiang beside him.

The chieftain of the Qiang tribesmen's gaze fell upon the carriages.

"Chase?"

Why chase after them?

"They only have so few people, surely Bei Gong Boyu's Huangzhong Righteous Cavalry can't stop them?"

"This place is full of gold and silver treasures. If we leave, wouldn't we be giving away money to Old King Zhong Qiang?"

The chieftain of the Qiang tribe looked at the carriages and the wooden boxes on them with greedy eyes.

“Let’s collect all these things first, half for each of us, and then we can go after them,” said the leader of the Ginseng Wolf Qiang.

Old King Dianlingqiang naturally heard what the soldiers said in the morning.

So much gold and silver—that's a windfall!

So the old king of Dianling Qiang also nodded in agreement.

“Okay, half for each of us,” said the old king of Dianling Qiang.

"Go, open all the wooden boxes on those carts, and load all the gold and silver into the carts and take them away."

The leader of the Qiang tribe waved his hand.

Upon hearing about the gold and silver treasures, the soldiers seemed to go mad, swarming forward towards the hundreds of carriages piled up in front of them.

However, at this moment.

Li Jue and Guo Si, who had originally fled, stopped their horses.

As Li Jue and Guo Si stopped, the hundreds of cavalrymen in front of them also stopped.

"Nock the arrow."

Li Jue gave the order.

Hundreds of cavalrymen nocked the fire arrows that had been prepared in their quivers onto their bowstrings.

Then hundreds of men turned around in unison, spurred their horses, and charged back.

On the other hand, the Qiang soldiers, in their haste to loot the gold and silver, did not notice that Li Jue and Guo Si, who had fled, had returned.

When they were still an arrow's throw away from the valley where the carriages were piled up.

Li Jue and Guo Si ordered everyone to ignite the rockets.

"put!"

With a command from Li Jue and Guo Si.

Hundreds of rockets soared into the air and shot toward the location where the carriages were parked.

Only then did some of the Qiang soldiers who were scrambling to climb onto the carriage notice the rockets that had been fired and the returning Li Jue and Guo Si.

But the chaotic valley was filled with all sorts of sounds.

The Qiang soldiers, too eager to loot the gold and silver, couldn't hear the shouts behind them.

However, when the first group of soldiers who climbed onto the wagon used their weapons to pry open the wooden crates on the wagon, they were all stunned to see that the crates were filled with hay and branches.

Search!

A rocket fell from the sky and landed precisely inside a wooden box opened by a Qiang soldier, embedding itself in the dry grass and branches.

The flames on the arrow instantly ignited the dry grass and branches inside the wooden box.

Following closely behind are several hundred.

"Put it in again."

"Put it back!"

Seeing that the carriage had been set on fire, Li Jue shouted excitedly.

The soldiers drew their bows in succession, firing rockets one after another towards the carriage.

In just a moment, thick smoke rose into the valley.

At this moment, the old king of Dianling Qiang and the leader of Shenlang Qiang also realized what was happening.

"Oh no, oh no, we've been tricked!"

"We've been tricked!" the leader of the Ginseng Wolf Qiang shouted.

But by this time, the fire had already started, separating Li Jue and Guo Si from the Qiang people.

The heatwave from the fire caused the Qiang soldiers to retreat in a panic.

"Ha ha!"

Li Jue laughed loudly: "Come and chase me again if you dare!"

After saying this, Li Jue and Guo Si laughed loudly and turned to leave gracefully.

Only the leader of the Qiang tribe, whose road was blocked by fire, and the old king of the Dianling Qiang tribe remained.

At this moment, thick black smoke was already billowing up, lingering in the sky above the valley, choking the Qiang soldiers who had to cover their mouths and noses and cough.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The old king of Dianling Qiang and the chief of Shenlang Qiang turned their horses around and galloped back the way they came.

............

The direction of the exit of Shehu Valley.

At this point, a major battle had already ended.

Clad in silver armor and wielding the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear, Zhang Xiu knocked down the old king of Zhong Qiang with a single thrust, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings with disdain.

Behind Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji led three thousand cavalrymen from Lintao to wipe out all the Zhong Qiang soldiers blocking the exit.

"Xiu'er, Chen Jun, form ranks and wait for the Qiang tribes in the valley to come out. Slaughter them all!"

Engrossed in the killing spree, Zhang Xiu flicked the blood off his Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix spear and said, "Uncle, rest assured, today we will ensure that these traitors never return!"
