Chapter 102

With the constant vertical horse raids of the Yulin scouting camp, the star soldiers ran to the river in a panic for fear of being overtaken by the unknown number of cavalry behind them.

Regardless of the cold water, the Tianxing soldiers who came to the river rushed into the river and tried to squeeze into the boat. Now they thought that only when they got on the boat could they avoid the cavalry behind them, and only when they got on the boat could they survive.

With more and more people holding the side of the ship, one by one berthed ship was overturned under the violent shaking and buckled on the water. The soldiers on the ship who had not been overturned were also in a hurry. They drew out their weapons one after another and chopped at paoze in the past. A shrill scream kept ringing on the river.

But even so, the drowning taxis kept swimming towards the boat. Although it is located in the south of Qingmu continent and the temperature is much warmer than that in the north, it is winter after all. The cold river makes their body lose heat quickly. When they go back to the shore, they dare not. If they stay in the river, they will freeze to death. Their survival instinct drives them to get on the boat. As for the boat, they can't hold so many people, At this time, these soldiers who were freezing were already ignored.

At this time, the military discipline has completely collapsed. In order to fight for the ship, there is a fierce conflict between the star soldiers in the water and the star soldiers on the ship, and the berthed ships are overturned in the fight.

"It's over. It's all over." Qiu Ao, the commander of Tianxing north frontier army, looks at the scene without tears, and his heart is full of despair. Now he regrets why he didn't make arrangements in advance by the river, why he didn't send more scouts to explore the mountains, and why he just got on the boat.

If he didn't get on the boat first, the nearly ten thousand troops would not have the courage to fight any more, just like a lamb to be slaughtered, and they would be driven into the river little by little.

Although Qiu Ao is not very old, he is also a handsome talent in the younger generation of Tianxing, otherwise he would not have been able to take up the post cushion task. At this time, he had realized that the number of cavalry in Daqian was not very large, but at this time, the morale of the army had been lost, and the soldiers were afraid. They no longer obeyed the orders, and they only wanted to run to the ship. Even he was helpless and could only watch the tragedy in vain.

After three spurts, Lu que stops He Tao, who has to continue. He asks the wolves of the white wolf king to drive the soldiers to the river.

"General, the spirit of Tianxing army has been lost. Why don't you take advantage of the situation to kill it?" At this time, the armor He Tao had just changed in the morning was soaked with blood again, just like a bloody man. The raid was even smoother than Lu que had expected. After a while, he had reaped no less than 20 lives, and everyone was excited.

"Just a moment." Looking at the river not far away, Lu que said, "it's because the opponent's momentum has lost that we can't continue to cover up and kill. The battlefield is unpredictable, so we need to know the way of relaxation. If we push too fast, the other side will try their best. We don't have many people. There's no need to add more casualties. Moreover, silence is the best oppression at this time. "

"The general is wise." He Tao heard the blood light in Yan's eyes gradually dissipated and restored his original Qingming. He can understand the meaning of Lu Que's words. The focus of the battle between the two armies is to build up momentum. Now that the battlefield is suddenly quiet, the Tianxing soldiers will surely think that they are brewing a more fierce offensive and will be more flustered in their heart. Lu que took advantage of the collapse of the enemy's morale and the darkness before dawn, plus the help of the wolves, to make these Tianxing soldiers die.

Sure enough, the star soldiers suddenly disappeared when they heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind them. Instead of breathing a sigh of relief, they were even more flustered. Some brave soldiers turned to look behind them, and did not see the cavalry figure. Instead, they saw a pair of green eyes. They were scared to death and pushed towards the river for fear that they would fall behind.

"Lu que, aren't you afraid that they will regroup?" Gu Qingcheng, who has been following Lu que, looks at Lu que curiously and asks.

"Sister Qingcheng, in the case of the collapse of the morale of the army, even if Bai Li Chengping is opposite, there is nothing she can do at this time. As long as we master the degree of relaxation, don't let each other feel that there is no way to live, and fight with us to the death. " Lu que shook his head.

Lu que looked at the star soldiers who were crowded into the water, and his heart was very complicated. This is his first time to lead the army. He is not used to the bloody smell of the battlefield. He was very excited when he heard the story of his father's overthrow of the Qingyang empire. However, when he was really in the battlefield, he was still a little uneasy when he watched the lives disappear under his calculation.

"Lu que, they are Tianxing people, and we are Daqian people. We were born enemies." Gu Qingcheng can naturally see what Lu que thinks at this time. She knows that Lu que has a good heart and can't hurt animals at ordinary times. But Lu que is the son of Duke Wei and Princess Chang. His natural position determines that he and Tianxing are mortal enemies.

As a general, life is never the first, only the victory is the most important.

"Sister Qingcheng, I know." Lu que reluctantly pulled out a smile from the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at the eastern sky“ It will be daybreak in a while. Let's do it, Captain he. "

"All right." He Tao nodded a little excitedly and yelled "brothers, follow me."

"Drink."

Except for Lu que, Gu Qingcheng and the heralds, the rest of the cavalry followed He Tao and started a new round of raids towards the river.

Hearing the thunder of the horse's hooves, the star soldiers jumped into the cold river. Those who didn't jump into the river threw away their weapons and knelt down.

After he Tao and his cavalry drove the vast majority of Tianxing soldiers into the water, he took out his rocket and shot at the still intact berthing boat. After several rounds of arrow rain, the berthing boats were ignited one after another. The stiff soldiers in the river, who had been frozen by the river, uttered a cry of despair.

"Lu que, what about these prisoners?" Gu Qingcheng put her heart down when she saw that the boat was lit. However, she frowned when she saw the star soldiers kneeling in the light of the fire by the river.

But Gu Qingcheng didn't hear Lu Que's reply. He looked to the side in surprise and found that Lu que was looking at the prisoners kneeling on the river bank.

Lu Kuo knew that there were only more than 400 of them, and some of them must have been lost in the raid. At first glance, there are about 1000 Tianxing soldiers kneeling down, which is twice as many as them. Once they accept their surrender, it may be another trouble after daybreak.

Moreover, Lu que also plans to cross Danshui to drag the northern border troops who want to return to Tianxing capital. He has no ability to take these prisoners.

"It's not clear how to kill the prisoners." After thinking for a while, Lu said, "these prisoners can't be killed. Otherwise, no matter how critical the situation is, the Tianxing army won't choose to surrender again. It's not a good thing for us. Sister Qingcheng, you ask Dongya to send a letter to zhennanguan. Isn't it necessary for zhennanguan to be repaired? Let's say we have people here who don't pay. Let them send a cavalry to receive the prisoners. "

"Good." Gu Qingcheng looked at Lu Que and nodded with a smile. She thought Lu que would order all the prisoners to be executed, but Lu Que's decision at this time is more in line with her mind. The reason why a famous commander is called a famous commander is that he can find a solution no matter what situation he is in. Lu Que's long-term thinking shows that he has the qualification of a famous commander, and the only difference is that he has won the world's recognition.

"He Tao, don't worry about the people in the river. Those who surrender by the river are all tied up with ropes. If the ropes are not enough, the armor will be stripped." Lu que looked at the messenger who had been following him and said.

"No

"It's daybreak, and tonight is over at last." After the captives were tied up, there was a trace of fish belly white in the eastern sky. Although the battle was more successful than he expected, he was always worried that something might happen. At this time, he was relieved to see the soldiers of the Yulin scouting camp begin to clean the battlefield.

At daybreak, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng rode slowly towards the river. The reason why a river port was built in this reach is that the water surface is wide and the water flow is slow. At this time, Danshui became a real blood river. Countless corpses were floating on the blood red river. Most of these corpses were pale and obviously died of freezing.

"I don't agree. Let me see your general. I want to see your general." Just as Lu que was staring at the corpses on the river, a young man's cry came from the squatting corpses. His voice was full of discontent, anger and despair.

"Stop it." Lu que saw a soldier of the Yulin scouting camp raise his whip to the young man in his twenties, and quickly stopped him.

"You are their leader?" Qiu Ao looks at Lu que who is walking towards him. Although Lu que is taller than his peers, his face is still a little immature. Qiu Ao can't believe that the man who forced him to the end with hundreds of cavalry last night was so young.

"I am." Lu que looked at Qiu AO and nodded.

As soon as Lu Que's voice fell, the prisoners squatting on the ground were in a commotion. They didn't expect that it was a little doll who brought them to such an end.

"Who are you?" At this time, Qiu Ao didn't have hatred in his eyes. Fighting on the battlefield was a matter of life and death. He didn't have the same skills as others. When he fell into such a field, he recognized it. Last night, Lu Xun used more offensive tactics. In fact, not many people died in the hands of Da Gan's cavalry. Most of them trampled on each other or were killed by the cold river, At this time, he was eager to know who could come up with such a strategy to defeat himself?

"Before you ask someone a question, you have to tell them who you are."

"My name is Qiu Ao, and you?" Qiu Ao reported his name directly. There were more than 1000 captured taxi soldiers. Even if he wanted to hide it, he could not hide it. So he said it directly, and then his eyes were fixed on him.

"Qiu Ao was the former commander of Tianxing northern border army." He Tao, standing behind Lu que, whispered in Lu Que's ear that his eyes were almost burning when he looked at Qiu Ao. These are the only people left in the two thousand feather forest scouting camp up to now, thanks to Qiu Ao. Just now, if it wasn't for Lu Que's general, he Tao really wanted to capture none of them in order to commemorate the souls of paoze.

"The famous family of Qiu." Lu que looked at Qiu AO and sighed. Although Lu que paid more attention to the situation of the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang, he also knew that the status of Tianxing Qiu family in Tianxing kingdom was equivalent to that of Daqian's eight state government. At this time, Qiu lie, the head of the Qiu family, was the commander-in-chief of Tianxing northern frontier army.

"I don't know one thing. Brother Qiu, can you help me Lu que asked.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Qiu Ao ignored Lu Que's question and looked at Lu que persistently.

"If the general asks you, you should answer honestly. Remember, you are just a prisoner now. It's your destiny that the general doesn't kill you. He thinks you are the general of Tianxing. If you can't be the prince of Houfu, I'll bah." He Tao was not pleased with Qiu Ao. At this time, he even yelled at him.

"Who are you?" Qiu Ao didn't even look at He Tao. He asked Lu que again.

"My name is Lu que." Lu que stops He Tao from taking the opportunity to whip Qiu AO and says.

"Lu que?" Qiu Ao thought the name was familiar. He bowed his head and thought for a moment. His eyes lit up and he said, "are you Lu que, the son of Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing?"

"Boy, you are looking for death. You dare to call the princess Chang and Duke Wei by name." He Tao wanted to make use of it again, but he was held by Lu que. He turned his head and said, "general, he called the general merciful and strict. I'll teach him a lesson and let him know how to speak."

"The name is meant to be called." Lu que pats He Tao on the shoulder and walks up to Qiu Ao. He doesn't mind Qiu Ao calling his parents' names. Daqian and Tianxing are enemies. They can expect to say something good from Tianxing. It's polite to call them names.

When Lu que looks at Qiu Ao, Qiu Ao is also looking at Lu que. He is also very curious about Lu que. Although Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, did not take part in the war in the south, he was also famous as Qiu Ao. The Qingyang Empire destroyed by Lu Chun himself was more powerful than Tianxing and Nanli combined. After the destruction of Qingyang, Tianxing worried that Lu Chun would lead the army south, but sent envoys to pay tribute to Da Qian. Compared with the four generals in the south of Daqian, Tianxing is more afraid to stay in the capital of Daqian.

Qiu AO and his father Qiu lie once played back the battle of Northern Xinjiang in the year of Daqian, and they marveled at Lu Chun's contingency. In the year of Lu Chun's pinghou Lun, both father and son had read it and highly praised Lu Chun's talents. Even the arrogant Qiu lie admitted in front of Qiu ao that if the two armies were against each other, he would not be Lu Chun's opponent.

At this time, seeing that it was Lu que, the son of Lu Chun, who defeated him, Qiu Ao had a lot of balance in his heart. After all, Lu que was born in a famous family. Although he was still young, it was better than being defeated by a nobody.

"Untie." Lu que looked at Qiu Ao for a while and suddenly said.

"No, general. Qiu Ao's accomplishments are not under me." He Tao stepped forward and said.

"Untie yourself. It's OK." Gu Qingcheng takes a look at Lu Que and says that she knows Lu que must have his plan. Besides, Qiu Ao's accomplishments are not in her eyes.

"No He Tao looked at Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, and some reluctantly untied Qiu Ao.

"Brother Qiu, why don't you walk with me? I have some doubts and want to ask you."

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Qiu AO activity wrist, some incredible said.

"Brother Qiu?" Lu que smiles, looks at He Tao who looks at Qiu Ao like a thief, and says, "if you're worried, come with him." Then he turned and walked to the river.

Qiu Ao takes a deep breath and keeps pace with Lu que. At this time, he is for fish. Lu que can manipulate him as he wants. But it's a delusion to know military intelligence from him. Moreover, he is curious about what Lu que wants to say to him.

After Lu que walked more than ten steps, Qiu Ao saw a broken flag fall on the ground, and his steps were not stopped. It was a red Golden Lion Flag, which was the flag of the northern frontier army of Tianxing. Therefore, the northern frontier army of Tianxing was also known as the crazy lion army. Qiu Ao wanted to pick up the flag, but he could not help holding out his hand. Looking at Lu que, who bypassed the flag and continued to walk towards the river, he sighed and followed up.

"What do you want to ask me? It's about Tianxing's military secrets. I won't say it even if I die. " Looking at the corpses floating all over the river, Qiu Ao's eyes became sharp. If there was not a breath behind him, he would like to kill Lu que.

"Last night, brother Qiu arrived half an hour earlier than I expected. I really want to know why brother Qiu, when most of the soldiers were infantry, had no consideration for the physical strength of the soldiers, but had to rush on." Lu que asked.

"This ~" Qiu Ao didn't expect Lu que to ask such a question. He hesitated for a moment and said, "after laying a mat for the northern border army, I met a 2000 person cavalry team of you in Jiguan mountain yesterday. Under the condition of setting an ambush in advance, we actually lost more than 10000 people and horses, and finally there were hundreds of people out of the encirclement. I haven't seen such elite cavalry, He was afraid that zhennanguan would send troops to pursue him, so he rushed south to return to his country. "

When he Tao heard Qiu Ao say this, he felt a lot better. In the battle yesterday, although the whole Yulin scouting camp was disabled, his achievements were real. Besides, now that the rear army of Tianxing northern frontier army has been destroyed, it can be regarded as a replacement for those old brothers.

"Why did brother Qiu get on the boat at the first time instead of setting up defenses by the river?" Lu que asked again.

"I have just said that I was frightened by the fighting power of the cavalry and wanted to cross the river and return home as soon as possible, that's all." Qiu Ao some annoyed into angry said.

"I have no other questions. Thank you, brother Qiu." "I don't know if brother Qiu can row. If he can, let's go back," he said

"Are you going to let me go?" Qiu Ao was shocked when he heard that Lu que was going to let him go.

"If brother Qiu wants to stay, I welcome him." Lu said with a smile.

"Thank you. I'm leaving now." Compared with staying in Daqian as a prisoner, Qiu Ao is more willing to return to Tianxing, even if he is a defeated general. Afraid of Lu's repentance, Qiu Ao hurriedly ran to the side of the intact berthing boat and paddled away skillfully.

"He didn't tell the truth." Although he knew that Lu que might have another idea, Gu Qingcheng still didn't understand why Lu que only asked two questions and let Qiu Ao leave.

"He told the truth, but not all of it, but it doesn't matter. I've got what I want."
