"General Earth Duke, if we continue forward, we will reach the Two Elements Mountain.”
Zhang Baoqi sat on his horse and wiped the sweat off his forehead before asking,""Where are the bandits now?"
"According to the scouts, the 40,000 bandits passed through the Liangyi Mountain two days ago.”
Zhang Bao nodded slightly. He thought for a moment and asked Bo Cai,"You didn't send anyone to investigate the South and North Mountains.”
Hearing Zhang Bao's words, Bo Cai shook his head gently.
"General Earth Duke, the southern and northern mountains of the Liangyi Mountain are too large. In addition, our army lacks warhorses, so we don't have many scouts. We really don't have the energy and manpower to complete the investigation of the Liangyi Mountain.”
"But the terrain here is very suitable for ambushes. What if the government troops ambush us?”
This time, before Bo Cai could say anything, Zhang Bao shook his head again and said to himself,""But I think I was overthinking it. The government troops even destroyed the catapults, so they really did escape.”
"General Earth Duke is wise!"
"Order the entire army to pass through the Liangyi Mountain as quickly as possible. Tomorrow night, I will be staying in Bo City.”
Another problem that the army brought about by speeding up their advance was that it was crowded.
The Yellow Turban Army had a total of 70,000 people. Because they had to speed up through the valley, these 70,000 people were soon crowded together. They formed a dense formation and rushed to the other end of the valley.
"General, the fish has already taken the bait, and the situation seems to be better than we imagined.”
As Liu Bowen finished speaking, Jia Xu also said,"The general of the Yellow Turban Army is generally limited in ability. If a veteran general on the battlefield leads his troops through a valley that might be ambushed, he will definitely divide the team into several parts and let these parts pass through in turn.”
"Wenhe is right. I hope that all the opponents we encounter in the future will be as easy to deal with as the Yellow Turban Army.”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh softly when Dong Song finished speaking.
Zhang Bao rode his horse in the middle of the army. As he went deeper into the valley, a trace of uneasiness gradually rose in his heart.
Zhang Bao felt as if there was a pair of eyes in the dark, staring at him without blinking.
"Bo Cai, how long will it take for the army to pass through the valley?”
"General Earth Duke, the front line is about to reach the exit of the valley. If the entire army wants to cross the valley, it will probably take another two hours.”
"Two hours?"
"General Earth Duke, this valley is too long, and there are stones everywhere. So…"
Before Bo Cai could finish, Zhang Bao waved his hand."I don't want to hear your explanation. I only hope that the army can pass through here as soon as possible.”
However, not long after Zhang Bao's voice fell, a faint shout of killing reached Zhang Bao's ears.
"What's going on?"
"General Earth Duke, please calm down. The sounds of fighting came from the former military. I'll go over and take a look.”
Just as Bo Cai was about to leave on his horse, a large number of Western Liang soldiers suddenly appeared on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley.
Before all the Yellow Turban soldiers could react, the Western Liang army that had suddenly appeared had already drawn their bows and fired a volley of arrows at the Yellow Turban soldiers in the valley.
The long arrows fell from the sky like raindrops and landed in the dense crowd, knocking the Yellow Turban soldiers to the ground.
"Report!"
A messenger's drawled voice rang out.
"The frontline army has discovered a large number of government and bandit cavalry at the valley's exit.”
Under the protection of his personal guards, Zhang Bao shouted at the messenger,"There are 10,000 soldiers in the front line, and they are well-equipped. They can't even stop the government cavalry?”
" Those cavalrymen and warhorses are covered in a thick layer of armor. Our weapons can't do anything to them. We…"
Unfortunately, before the messenger could finish speaking, a long arrow fell from the sky and pierced through the messenger's throat.
Warm blood spurted out and even splattered on Zhang Bao's face.
While Zhang Bao was in a daze, he heard a guard beside him shout,"Fireball, quickly protect General Earth Duke.”
Before Zhang Bao could react, he felt someone lift him off his horse.
Zhang Bao's body had just landed on the ground when a fireball was ignited not far away from him.
Sparks flew everywhere, instantly igniting a dozen soldiers, causing them to let out waves of painful cries.
Hearing the painful cries, Zhang Bao finally came back to his senses.
"We've been tricked, we've been tricked. The officials and bandits were prepared for this. Everything is over."
Bo Cai knocked away an arrow and fell beside Zhang Bao.
"General Earth Duke, please calm down. I can protect you and break out of the encirclement.”
Seeing that Zhang Bao was trembling and did not react, Bo Cai quickly continued,"General Earth Duke, we have 70,000 people here. Even if the officials and bandits ambush us, they won't be able to kill us. In addition, we still have 30,000 soldiers in Qu Yang. As long as we can escape back to Qu Yang, we still have a chance to make a comeback.”
"Make a comeback? Yes, I can still make a comeback. Protect me, hurry up and protect me.”
