Chapter 351 Fish caught in the net
Although he was standing on the top of the city of Wushi Fortress, the lieutenant felt that his heart had flown outside the fortress and joined the battle that was happening in front of him.
When the arrows fired from his own team hit Yiqu Qingqi, looking at the figures falling to the ground, the lieutenant felt a sense of relief in his heart;
And when he saw General Bai Yu leading the way, followed closely by the Qin Army cavalry rushing into the enemy formation, the deputy general couldn't help but feel anxious;
It was not until Yiqu Qingqi was defeated by the Qin cavalry and retreated toward the northeast that the deputy general's heart gradually calmed down.
When a smile of victory appeared on his face and the lieutenant was about to open the city gate to welcome the victorious soldiers, a horse galloped not far away.
"Where is General Bai Yu?"
"Reporting to General Qi, the remnants of Yiqu's troops were defeated and fled. General Bai Yu thought this was a great opportunity to completely defeat the enemy and show off the power of our Qin army, so he led his cavalry to pursue the victory."
"General Bai Yu is confused!"
After hearing the report from the ordering soldier in front of him, the deputy general's originally relieved heart suddenly felt anxious again.
"Our top priority is to ensure that the Wuzhi Barrier is safe and sound. As for the remaining soldiers in Yiqu, they are not susceptible to scabies."
"quick!"
With a serious expression on his face, the deputy general said in a deep voice to the messenger: "Hurry up and catch up with General Bai Yu and ask him to lead his army back to the city immediately. Go quickly!"
"Here."
Watching the messenger leave with a solemn expression, and recalling everything that happened today, a feeling that something was wrong gradually appeared in the lieutenant's heart.
In the past, although the fortresses in the northern part of the Qin army were attacked by the remnants of Yiqu, the scale was generally small, and there was no precedent for a head-on confrontation.
Why today...
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. The more I recalled it, the more I felt that the behavior of this Yiqu remnant was unusual. The lieutenant general secretly thought that something was wrong when he was neutral in his heart.
His right hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the lieutenant took advantage of the situation and shouted softly to a guard beside him.
"Here comes someone."
"General."
To this personal guard who had been with him for many years, he told in detail everything that happened in Wushi Sene today and his judgment, and then he heard the deputy general give the order in an extremely serious manner.
"Send the news to Yongcheng immediately and ask your Majesty to make a quick decision."
"Follow orders."
When the guard also disappeared from sight, the lieutenant-general looked at the endless plains outside the fortress and couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
"I hope it's all because I'm over-worrying!"
…
"Drive, drive, drive..."
Above the wilderness, the sound of rushing horses could be heard endlessly, which together with the dull sound of horse hooves formed a climactic war song.
The fleeing Yiqu remnants and the chasing Qin cavalry galloped one after another on this originally peaceful grassland.
However, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that the Yiqu Cavalry, who should have been in great embarrassment after being defeated and fleeing, did not have much fear or panic in their brows.
Pretending to look back anxiously, looking at the rising smoke and dust behind them, the Jiang clan member showed an inappropriate smile to the clan leader beside him, Jiang He.
"Clan Chief, the Qin army is like a fish in the water, biting our fishhook."
Jiang He, who was galloping on his horse, heard the words of his tribesmen. While shaking the reins with his right hand, he also looked back.
"Tell the warriors, don't pull the hook too tight, and don't let the fish lose sight of the bait."
"Follow orders."
At the order of the clan leader Jiang He, and amid the shouts of the Jiang clan members, a contest between anglers and swimming fish began.
Treating the endless wilderness as a gurgling river, the Yiqu cavalry in front was sometimes urgent, sometimes slow, sometimes close, sometimes far away, allowing the Qin cavalry to see the target without easily engaging with it.
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain and the excellent horses under them, the Yiqu cavalry were like superb fishermen, always keeping the Qin army's cavalry at their own pace.
Qin General Bai Yu, who didn't notice anything unusual about all this, looked at the target in front of him that seemed to be getting closer and closer, with only a rising fighting spirit in his heart.
"Sirs, please show off the power of our Qin army today, kill!"
"kill!"
As Bai Yu pointed his sword at the sky, the Qin army's cavalry urged their horses to speed up.
Seeing that our side was about to catch up with the remaining Yiqu soldiers in front, they saw the opponent suddenly turn around and then "escape" toward the northwest.
Although Bai Yu secretly thought it was a pity that the attack failed, he was not too depressed.
In his opinion, sooner or later he would be able to catch up with the embarrassed Yiqu remnants and completely annihilate them on the grassland. The only doubt was whether it would be sooner or later.
In this way, the Qin army's cavalry, led by Bai Yu, pursued all the way until they saw the Yiqu cavalry in front of them suddenly stopped.
"The whole army stops."
After ordering the cavalry behind him to stop, Bai Yu suddenly became calmer in his heart when he looked at the remnants of Yiqu soldiers who were almost within reach.
As my eyes swept across the surroundings, it was still the lush and unchanging green.
Then he glanced at the remnants of Yiqu not far away, and Bai Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Today, this grassland will no longer be ordinary, because it will be the burial place of these Yiqu Cavalry, and it will also be the place where Bai Yu became famous.
Just when Bai Yu was thinking about annihilating his opponents and returning victoriously, his eyes subconsciously saw Jiang He's face in front of him.
It was a smile that was the same as his, even more confident and proud than he was at the moment.
Suddenly, the high spirits in my heart disappeared, replaced by a question?
Isn't there no suspense in this confrontation, so why does the opponent still have such pride on his face?
Could it be...
The doubts in Bai Yu's heart did not last long, as the war horse under him suddenly began to become restless.
"Xilulu..."
Along with the neighing sounds of the surrounding war horses, the earth began to shake violently.
"General, there is an ambush and we have been fooled!"
Listening to the constant shouts of the Qin Army's cavalry, the look on Bai Yu's face suddenly became a little more unbelievable.
He looked around again. The originally peaceful grassland was now occupied by cavalry figures one after another.
Looking at the blood-red red worn by these cavalrymen and the flag with the word "Wei" flying high above the team, Bai Yu only had despair on his face.
The Wei army was the Wei army that was supposed to be hundreds of miles away.
In the phalanx of the Wei cavalry, looking at the fish falling into his fishing net in front of him, Sun Boling, the commander-in-chief, did not change much in his expression.
Pointing his finger forward, Sun Boling calmly ordered: "Annihilate the Qin army."
"Here."
