Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"Hmph, since the king of Chu dared to slaughter my family members, I must make him pay the price in blood!"

Chapter 378 Fire attack, victory in the first battle

Early the next morning, when the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families on the other side of the river found that the barracks on the other side of the river was empty, they were furious and ordered their men to chase after them, but they didn't know that their every move fell into the eyes of the caring people on the other side. .

On the other side of the river, Cao Chao and Hua Ying were standing in a hidden place, looking at the busy figures on the other side of the river.

"I didn't expect that the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families would send people to ambush them!"

Huaying gritted her teeth and stared at a person on the other side.

She recognized that the other party was Qu Fang, a descendant of the main line of the Qu family.

Cao Chao said indifferently: "Knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy, we can win a hundred battles. Now that we know the opponent's intentions, we can take advantage of the opportunity."

"How would you like to act, sir?"

Huaying looked at Cao Chao suspiciously.

With a calm smile, Cao Chao said unhurriedly: "I heard what General Cheng said just now, there is fierce fire in the team, why don't I wait like this..."

……

Leaning slightly, Cao Chao and Hua Ying caught up with the large army again.

Hua Ying ran to find Cheng Qian to make arrangements. Cao Chao happened to pass by the carriage, and suddenly the carriage was swung open, revealing a beautiful and refined face. It was the Princess of Chu: Mi Hua

At this moment, Mi Hua's face was full of complex expressions, and she looked at Cao Chao with resentment in her eyes:

"Zhang San, I want to thank you, but I also hate you!"

With that said, he closed the window with a bang.

"???"

Cao Chao was confused.

There was no beginning or end, and I couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this girl was selling in the gourd.

Is it so disgusting to be ugly?

Then I go?

But soon Cao Chao put this idea behind him, the enemy is coming.

In the early morning, Cao Chao and Hua Ying led seventy guards, armed with strong crossbows, and ambushed in a dense forest near the camp.

The carriage carrying the princess gradually disappeared from everyone's sight under the hazy morning sun.

According to Cao Chao's idea, he wanted to send the princess away first, leaving an empty camp as a bait, and waited for the thieves to come to attack and then lay an ambush.

Slightly leaning, a team of nearly 200 people galloped out from the upper reaches, and the leader was sitting high on the horse, wearing a Chinese dress and a sword around his waist. It was the son of the Qu family: Qu Fang.

At this time, Qu Fang was so angry that he raised his beard and stared, and kept urging his subordinates to run quickly, obviously thinking of catching up with them as soon as possible.

On the other side, the Jing family and the Zhao family followed with a large group of people from the other side of the river.

"The enemy actually divides his forces!"

Huaying obviously didn't expect the other party to be so treacherous, and her face became dignified.

Seeing this, Cao Chao on the side spoke comfortingly.

"It will take some time for the enemies on the other side to cross the river. As long as the enemies on this side dare to attack first, our army will be able to wipe them all out. Wouldn't it be easy to turn around and deal with the enemies who are crossing the river?"

When Huaying heard the words, she immediately relaxed, and looked at Cao Chao with a pair of beautiful eyes.

She didn't know when it started, as long as she had this man by her side, she felt extremely safe.

Just as Huaying was staring blankly at Cao Chao, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance.

Qu Fang really couldn't hold his breath, and led more than 200 people directly into the camp.

"coming!"

Cao Chao shouted, and more than 70 people behind him fired a round of crossbow arrows from the dense forest, shooting the opponents on their backs, killing or injuring 40 or [-] people in the blink of an eye.

Qu Fang was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and wanted to run away, but he didn't know if it was destined, a stream of arrows hit him right in the back of the heart.

The sharp arrow pierced through the heart, and with a loud cry, Qu fell off his horse and died.

The soldiers and horses under him were shot to death when they saw the general face to face. They were suddenly in a panic and wanted to run away.

Unexpectedly, fires broke out all over the camp, and the camp gate was blocked by a wall of fire.

It turned out that Huaying had already asked people to sprinkle fire oil around the camp, which would ignite in case of fire, even if it rained lightly, it would be useless.

It happened that there was a strong wind blowing, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and soon thick smoke billowed from the camp.

On the other side of the river, Jing Yuan, the grandson of the Jing family, and Zhao Yang, the second son of the Zhao family, witnessed the whole process, and were immediately terrified, and dared not urge the soldiers to cross the river anymore.

At this moment, the whole camp is like a hell on earth, with screams and wailing ringing out incessantly.

200 people fled around like blind flies, but most of them couldn't find their way out.

Only a few people rushed out of the fire scene with difficulty, but were shot to death by the Chu army ambushing in the dense forest. The scene was extremely tragic.

Witnessing this tragic scene, even Huaying, whose heart is like a rock, couldn't bear it. She couldn't help looking at Cao Chao, but seeing the calm face on the other side's face, she couldn't help asking curiously:

"Sir, don't you feel bad when you see this tragedy in the world?"

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and thought inwardly that he was not good, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain:

"I am a doctor, and I see countless life and death every day, and sometimes I feel numb.

"Only when the patient is successfully cured will there be some comfort in my heart."

Huaying heard the words, her beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and there was a trace of pity in her eyes.

This man has experienced too many ups and downs in the world, so he has become so dull and dull emotionally.

For a moment, Fang's heart trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and Huaying actually began to feel sorry for Cao Chao.

He suffered too much, and experienced too many things that he shouldn't have experienced at this age.

……

Several hours later, there was no more sound in the camp, and the fire gradually extinguished, leaving only a mess on the ground.

After a complete victory, the whole army burst into cheers, and Huaying ordered the troops to withdraw, chasing after the long gone car frame.

After walking for half a day, the two sides finally met. It was already dusk, and they simply started to set up camp.

In the evening, Huaying came to Cao Chao to discuss again.

"Sir, do you think the enemy will come after them after such a big defeat?"

Chapter 379 The Mysterious Assassination

In the tent, Huaying sat upright, and Cheng Qian was at the last seat.

When Cao Chao saw this, he knew that tonight was going to discuss military affairs.

After sitting down, Huaying looked over:

"Sir, do you think the enemy will come after them after such a big defeat?"

Cao Chao replied without thinking:

"Although the enemy has suffered this defeat, the main force is still there, and they should not give up."

When Huaying heard this, she frowned and turned to ask Cheng Qian.

"According to the current itinerary, how long will it take to get to the mall?"

Shangcheng is a large city in the south of Qin State bordering the Han Dynasty.

As long as they get here and are protected by Qin people, the team is basically safe.

Cheng Qian lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "At least there are still seven days to go."

Huaying frowned even more when she heard the words.

Marching at this speed, they could not escape the enemy's pursuit at all.

In the end, Huaying had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "We simply find a dangerous highland near here, build an earthen village and moat, store game spring water, and guard it for ten and a half months.

"In addition, send Qingqi to the mall and ask the guard there to send troops to help."

Cao Chao thought for a while, but there was no other better way, so he kept silent.

The next day, everyone found a highland with mountains and rivers on the bank of the Han River and set up camp. At the same time, they sent five cavalry to the mall to ask for help with the credentials of Chu State.

Cao Chao had just taken a nap in the tent, when he opened his eyes he heard the noise of people outside, and when he went out to have a look, he saw hundreds of guards constructing fortifications in full swing.

They dug a deep trench along the edge of the highland, and the excavated soil was piled in front of the trench, filled with stones, and turned into a low earth wall half a foot high.

Looking carefully, holes were left on the low wall for crossbow shooting, and the mule cart was pushed to the inner wall of the low wall to strengthen the low wall's strength against the enemy's impact.

Outside the low wall, sharpened bamboo sticks were scattered all over the slope, and traps were set up.

The surrounding forests and long grass were all removed to prevent the enemy from having cover.

Among the crowd, a pretty figure was constantly instructing everyone to work, it was Huaying.

Cao Chao was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect this woman to know military affairs.

Driven by curiosity, she slowly walked down the high ground and came to Huaying's side.

"I didn't expect Miss Huaying to have a lot of research on marching formations, I admire you!"

Huaying heard the words, turned her head to look, and found that the speaker was Cao Chaohou, her pretty face blushed immediately, showing a charming smile.

"The little girl was born in an army family, and she studied and practiced martial arts with her younger brother since she was a child, so she knows a little about the way of marching."

However, at this moment, a black shadow burst out from the crowd and shot towards Hua like a gust of wind.

Everyone present was shocked, they didn't expect that there would be an assassin.

The change came too suddenly, Huaying was stunned, watching a cold light stab at herself, but she couldn't make any reaction.

"Shh!"

The sword light flashed past, and it was about to pierce Huaying's chest.
