Looking from a distance, the city wall and hundreds of thousands of military camps formed a long line, like a dormant giant python, straddling the sky, swallowing the lives of many soldiers.

Although he could see clearly, the actual distance was at least a dozen miles away. Xiao Qi originally planned to reach the camp in one go, but he suddenly made a clear cry in mid-air, warning that an unknown person was approaching.

Although the supply battalion was mainly used to escort food, grass, supplies, ordnance and clothing, there were still [-] full-armored veterans guarding them for safety along the way. .

After half a stick of incense, the group of people no longer concealed their whereabouts. They were a group of fifty people from the Beiyuan outpost, one man and two horses. It looked like a battle of more than a hundred people, shouting strange whistles , while swiftly culling them.

Xiao Qi took the name of serving him personally, and Chu Gui had been carrying the king's chariot along with him. At this time, he simply jumped onto the roof of the car, and was vigilant of all movements within a 20-meter radius from top to bottom, in case of unexpected events. Come on sneak attack.

The expected situation did not appear. This sudden encounter seemed to be really just a coincidence. The time of the battle was not long. The opponent dropped a dozen corpses, and retreated as if in a hurry. After going back, Xiao Qi didn't order anyone to pursue him, but his face suddenly became gloomy.

After counting, six people were killed in the supply camp, and nearly 30 people were slightly or seriously injured. Everyone was looking forward to entering the city as soon as possible so that they could hand over their tasks and take care of the wounded. At the same time, he sent a messenger to Zion to explain the situation of the station to the general Chen Cheng.

After everything was settled, Ruan Jixing and Lin Yuan entered the tent together, and before they could discuss matters, the battalion of the supply battalion swept in like a gale, regardless of their superiority and inferiority, they kept calling for the division of troops to send the wounded into the city.

Xiao Qi naturally disagrees, he feels that these five hundred people are a bit stretched, if they divide a small half out, if someone steals the camp at night, their lives are of little importance, and the supply of the whole army is of great importance, so there is no room for half of them What a mistake.

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng became even more angry. After the encounter in the evening, he strongly advocated the wave of entering the city quickly, but the supervising army ordered to retreat, and he couldn't resist, so he had to obey. His contempt was about to turn into substance, and he kept cursing secretly in his heart, a cowardly and lecherous dude, is he afraid of the reincarnation of a dead ghost?

He thought about it, but he didn't dare to swear, but his brothers who were seriously injured couldn't wait, so in a hurry, he wanted to grab Shangguan's sleeves and tear them apart.

He stretched out his hand, but before he even touched the corner of his clothes, there was a "snap", and someone snapped it back. The back of his hand was reddened, and it was hot and painful. The bull's eye stared, but it was the face of King An The handsome little soldier is holding a willow branch and playing with it leisurely.

The willow branch suddenly waved again, and this time it "slapped" on the back of a chair five steps away, with a new and tender willow leaf attached to it. Jing fell to the ground, and another piece of paint fell down with it, and the willow-shaped shallow pit on the back of the chair was clearly discernible.

Zhang Heng's mouth suddenly felt a little dry, and the swear words in his mind had been forgotten somewhere. After a while, he came back to his senses and turned into a low pleading. His attitude changed quickly, as if he was a different person.

Xiao Qi became a little impatient. He originally didn't want to reveal his conjecture, fearing that it would affect the morale of the army. Now, being begged by this rough boss, he felt that it would be better to quarrel and scold each other. It was too spicy. Eye.

There were no other outsiders in the camp, and in case something happened later, he still needed the absolute obedience of the bull. After thinking about it, he simply said it bluntly:

"First of all, you have seen it from a distance. The general's camp is in a line with the city of Zion, and it has clearly blocked the road to the east of Beiyuan. Then what happened to the outpost we encountered? You didn't think about it carefully. have you been?"

Although Zhang Heng is now in charge of the supply battalion, he had actually been on the battlefield when he was young. Before, he was irritated by the casualties of his brothers, so he didn't think about it carefully. Now he heard what the supervising army said, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

It was just that he didn't dare to think too deeply for a while, and he replied in a jiffy, "Then...then no matter how powerful the defense is, sometimes it is negligent. Isn't it possible for this small ticket to leak from some slit?"

"Leaked out? If it's from the opposing army, the camps of both sides are [-] miles away, and after crossing the defense line, we're another [-] miles away. It's a distance of [-] to [-] miles. It takes one or two hours to get there. It takes one man and two horses." , Leaking the whereabouts of such a big battle? This is not an outpost, this is clearly a pioneer."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he pointed to the topographic map hanging behind him, and the three suspicious positions above were all marked in red. No matter which one was true, it meant that another strange army in Beiyuan had bypassed the Xishan Mountains , Attacking from the east and west sides of Qingzhou, once the pocket is formed, Zion City and the Northern Expedition Army will immediately fall into the encirclement.

Zhang Heng opened his eyes wide, stared blankly for a while, and said hastily: "If this is the case, shouldn't we enter the city more quickly? The large army is surrounded, and we are the only ones hanging out with heavy supplies. Resistance?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer immediately, he was still staring at the topographic map, thinking about the situation that everyone might face if his guess came true, he was a little dazed for a while.

Ruan Jixing explained for him: "It would be best if we can enter the city quickly, but we have too much burden, so we started the distance of watching the mountain and running dead horses. When we reach the gate of the city, it is probably already Late at night. The outpost scouted out the truth, but they didn't even want the corpses of their teammates, and retreated quickly. Do you know where he retreated, and where did his main force go?

If we launch a surprise attack when we are halfway into the city, not to mention that all supplies may be destroyed, even the city gate may be breached!The prince ordered to retreat a few miles to set up a camp, put his mind on alert, and then summoned the general to send troops to pick him up. This is a safer approach.If the previous guess is true, then tonight might be the most dangerous night. "

Zhang Heng completely understood now, and the hairs all over his body immediately stood on end. They were only three days behind the pace of the main force, but they fell into the current dilemma. If it is really what King An said, Beiyuan The army has already crossed the Xishan Mountains without a sound, so this battle is probably going to be a terrible situation.

No one was in the mood to talk nonsense anymore, Xiao Qi began to give orders non-stop, Ruan Jixing checked for omissions and made up for vacancies, Lin Yuan and Zhang Heng quickly went to make arrangements after obeying the orders, and the heavy crossbow vehicles with the most lethal power were surrounded After leaving the camp, set up a dragon formation.

Nearly a thousand civilian husbands all hid in the formation, hundreds of soldiers lay in ambush behind the chariot all night, with a crossbow in one arm and a knife in the other, even their hair was taut.

Xiao Qi in the tent couldn't close his eyes due to worry, but as the decision-maker here, he had to keep a clear head in order to deal with the future. Chu Gui talked badly, so he persuaded him to take off his clothes on the simple camp bed. Lying down, he took a light nap, and he jumped onto the roof of the car again, patrolling around vigilantly under the faint starlight, listening to all the movements in the camp.

After an extremely long night, they managed to get through it with difficulty. When the sky was slightly bright, they finally waited for the reinforcements sent by the city to welcome them.

Thinking about it, Chen Cheng still attached great importance to Xiao Qi's safety, so he even sent an entire army of nearly 3000 people to guard him.

Everyone at the scene heaved a sigh of relief, Zhang Heng even felt a little careless, feeling that he was fooled last night, what kind of striker, what kind of encirclement, what he said seemed to be true, it was in vain that the brothers stayed up all night, nervous His whole body was numb, but it turned out that he was just talking on paper, making baseless assumptions.

He snorted coldly in his heart, and blushed a little because of his years of veteran career.

When he was secretly slandering, the accident came unexpectedly.

The bang suddenly came from the north, from weak to strong, and within a moment, it was already deafening like thunder from the sky, and there were also faint human voices mixed in, which seemed to be shouts of shouting and killing, and pitiful howls of different lengths. , converging into a breathtaking sound wave.

Chu Gui's body flickered, and he went up to a high ground on the right in an instant, and looked towards the sound. The densely packed army of the Northern Plains, dressed in khaki uniforms and leather armor, appeared out of nowhere and had already captured the city of Zion. Surrounded by water, huge catapults were firing stone bombs into the city, and the city walls were already covered with ladders, as if they were attacking the city with all their strength.

Since he came to this era, although he was used to seeing all kinds of life and death, it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale war scene, and he was shocked to the point of being speechless.

Xiao Qi and Wuming also came up one after another. Leaning beside him, the three of them couldn't help but their eyes turned slightly red. For the first time in their lives, they realized that their home country was invaded, and the city built with the painstaking efforts of countless ancestors was being destroyed. When the stinging mood.

Xiao Qi was the first to come back to his senses. The burden on his shoulders made him have to make a choice immediately, and said coldly: "Let's go."

Back at the camp, when he explained the situation in a few words, all the generals present were a little dumbfounded, especially the partial general Yan Zixing who came to greet him. He never expected that the city of Zion, which he had just left, would be surrounded by siege in just a few hours. All the roads back to the city have been cut off, completely losing contact with the main camp.

He hardly thought about it, and immediately wanted to return to help and join the battle, even refusing to respond to Xiao Qi's orders behind him.

Just after finishing the formation, before he had time to pull out, a feathered arrow was already inserted straight into the middle of the road in the direction he was heading.

The scene was a little anxious immediately, and the civilian husbands and soldiers who didn't know exactly what happened also began to panic.

Xiao Qi put down his long bow and pulled out the Son of Heaven Sword by his side. The scabbard was coiled with a golden dragon, and the hilt contained a dragon's head. It shone brightly in the morning light, and it also clearly showed the meaning of supremacy it represented.

"Yan Zixing listened to the order, and the whole army assisted in the southward withdrawal of the supply battalion. Except for the arm crossbow, the rest of the ordnance and clothing were burned on the spot. All the vacated vehicles were filled with food and grass. After a cup of tea, the camp was set off. Those who disobeyed the order will be executed!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword light flashed, and a heavy armored chariot beside him shattered in two to show his determination.

The heavy-armored chariot made of steel was split neatly, and the machine-expanded iron chains inside were cut in half at the same time, scattered on the ground in pieces, but the Tianzi sword in Xiao Qi's hand was as intact as autumn water.

All the people who witnessed this scene were astonished in their hearts. It turned out that this prince who was rumored to be powerless was actually a master of martial arts, and his internal strength was so terrifying.

Although personal bravery does not play a big role on the battlefield, but in the atmosphere of panic and sadness at this time, the leader has such a powerful force, but it immediately makes people surrender a lot. Yan Zixing looked at the Tianzi sword, Finally bowed their heads and listened to the order, 500 soldiers, together with more than [-] veterans from the supply battalion, moved quickly.

The extremely slow-moving heavy armored vehicles and oxen crossbows were dismantled beyond recognition, and all kinds of spare military uniforms and bedding were drenched in fire oil and turned into flying ash. He was a few years older in an instant, and he didn't even care to cover up the gap between the missing front teeth at this time. He yelled loudly, asking the peasants to move as much food and grass as possible to the vacant carriage.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Qi led the supply battalion together with Yan Zixing's independent first army, and escorted more than 50 carriages full of grain and grass, and rushed to the south side of the Xishan Mountains, leaving only one piece of damage, so that the Beiyuan cavalry who were ordered to come completely I missed it.
