"Ta-"
The jade lion passed through two ravines and headed northeast.
It didn't take long for them to reach an intersection where several ravines converged, forming a flat land of thousands of square meters in the middle.
"Wait, something doesn't seem right?!”
“.......”
Just as they entered this open space, Xue Li sensed that something was wrong.
From the ravines in all directions, there seemed to be the thundering sound of horse hooves. The echoes from the mountain walls grew louder and louder, like a surging flood, gathering on the flat ground in the middle of the mountain.
"Oh no, it seems that the Zhao army has set their eyes on us.”
"There are probably soldiers from the State of Zhao lying in ambush at these intersections. We have to hurry.”
"Lion, I'll have to trouble you to run faster.”
“........”
At this moment, there was no time to hesitate.
Xue Li made a prompt decision. He followed his intuition and luck, randomly picked a path, and let the Night Lion run over.
If he stopped and hesitated, he would be surrounded by enemies from all directions. Then, the Night Jade Lion wouldn't be able to use its speed. In the end, it would only be surrounded in a corner.
"Wuwuwu-"
The assembly horn of the Zhao army sounded again.
A large number of soldiers in white armor suddenly surged out from the ravines on both sides, their killing intent surging.
"Thief Qin, don't run! You have been surrounded by us!"
"Catch him! Don't let that Qin thief go!"
"Only one person? I thought it was the Qin Country's thousand man team that came to support.”
"Forget it, let's not care about this anymore. According to the Vice Commander-in-Chief's orders, anyone who enters this place will be killed without mercy!”
“........”
There were at least a thousand Zhao infantry charging out from the ravines on both sides.
They seemed to have prepared for this long ago, preparing to ambush the Qin army that was coming to rescue Meng Tian. However, what they did not expect was that Xue Li had placed 100 Great Qin Cavalrymen at the rear and had them prepare to act as a distraction.
However, he had charged over alone. With so few enemies, they were a little confused.
However, it was fortunate that they did not bring 100 Great Qin Cavalrymen. Otherwise, under the State of Zhao's ambush, only a few of them would be able to charge out, and they might even die here.
"Night Jade Lion!"
"Hey!"
As if it was responding to Xue Li's call, the Moonlight Jade Lion let out a long cry.
Riding on the back of the famous steed, Xue Li felt as if he was about to fly as he felt the lightning speed. He pushed his speed to the limit.
Before the Zhao soldiers could block the path ahead, they charged out.
The air pressure they created along the way caused the surrounding sand and stones to fly.
A burly general of the State of Zhao led the charge, followed by a hundred infantry.
When they saw Xue Li holding the Flood Dragon Silver Halberd and wearing the Dragon Bone Armor, rushing over with a murderous aura, that kind of deterrence made them shrink their necks in unison, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
"Move aside!"
Taking out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, Xue Li directly fired two rounds in front of him.
Twenty special arrows were shot out, instantly taking the lives of seven people. On average, each person had two or three arrows stuck in their bodies.
With such a high firing speed, he was like a deadly god of death. Although he could not kill one person with one arrow, his firing speed was extremely high. Moreover, he only needed to aim casually and he would definitely hit within 50 steps!
If he couldn't even hit the target with this, it was recommended that he change his eyes.
The hundred generals of the State of Zhao were the first to shake off their fear. Looking at their comrades who had been shot to death, they roared,
"What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful he was, he was only one person!”
"We have more than a hundred people and more than a thousand people lying in ambush here.”
"Moreover, the deputy commander's horn has already sounded, and the surrounding generals are already rushing over, preparing to intercept and kill the Qin reinforcements here. When the main army arrives, it will be difficult for him to escape even if he has wings!”
"Shoot arrows! Shoot!"
“........”
Hearing these words, the Zhao soldiers, who were frightened by Xue Li's aura, calmed down.
They all took down the longbows on their backs and aimed in Xue Li's direction, firing a volley of arrows!
Arrows filled the sky, bringing with them the whistling sound of the wind, as if it was a rain of arrows. The cold arrowheads drew streaks of cold light in the air, seemingly intending to shoot Xue Li into a sieve.
However, the Night Jade Lion's speed was beyond their imagination.
Due to the initial fear, the arrows were shot a few seconds slower. This time was enough for the Night Lion to run to a safe area. Even if there were a few powerful arrows, they only made a soft sound when they hit Xue Li's dragon bone armor.
Then, as if it had lost its strength, it fell to the ground.
"With just a few infantry, it won't be so easy to surround me!”
“.......”
Like a dragon entering the sea, Xue Li quickly shook off Zhao Jun.
Since he was able to encounter the ambush of the State of Zhao, it meant that he was heading in the right direction. After a while, he should be able to find Meng Tian.
