One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Camel Ridge

Cao Cao's impassioned words uttered, and Qin Yi's ears were greatly shocked.

Today's Cao Cao is not the hero who later coerced the emperor to make the princes, he still has the ambition to serve the country, he can be regarded as a hero!

"Grandpa Cao's righteousness, I admire Qin so much, it's even lucky to meet Duke Cao!" Qin Yi responded enthusiastically.

As soon as Cao Cao waved his hand, he suddenly looked expectant, and asked Qin Yi: "Tianyu is also a hero in the world, and Cao Mou can be said to be in harmony with him, so why not join hands with Cao Mou, help the Han Dynasty, share weal and woe, and create a great cause? "

Qin Yi was dumbfounded: Why did you recruit me again?Could it be that his passionate words just now were intended for me?This guy is too deep in the city, so you have to be careful when getting along with him in the future.

"Well... Mr. Cao, the war is urgent right now, let's talk about the rest later." Qin Yi said perfunctorily with a smile.

Cao Cao nodded and changed the topic to the battle, saying, "Does Tianyu know how many soldiers Xu Rong brought eastward?"

Qin Yi was in trouble again, if he told a lie, he had to use countless lies to cover it up.

He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "At that time, Qin was spying from a distance, and he was not familiar with military affairs, so he really couldn't judge how many soldiers Xu Rong had."

Cao Cao didn't show disappointment, but turned his head suddenly and looked forward, and said loudly: "No matter how many soldiers and horses he has, this battle is imperative!"

Afterwards, he turned his head and shouted to the army behind him: "Boys, hurry up, General Bao has set up camp ahead, let's go over and have dinner!"

"No!" The soldiers behind him responded loudly, and the marching speed suddenly accelerated.

…………

Two quarters of an hour later, the army arrived in front of a mountain.

This mountain range stretches for several miles with a very gentle slope.Looking at the top line of the mountain ridge, it is high on both sides and low in the middle, just like a camel's hump.The road climbs through the middle of the mountain ridge and at the bottom of the hump.

"This is Luotuo Ridge. Bao Xin's army should have already crossed the mountain." Cao Cao sat on his horse, pointing at the mountain with his whip, and introduced it to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was just about to inquire about the specific terrain of Luotuo Ridge, when suddenly he saw a rider appearing from the mountain, galloping towards him quickly.

As they approached, the soldiers in front of Cao's army stopped the galloping horses. They seemed to check the knight's seal before letting them go immediately.

"Report—my lord, General Bao Xin has formed a formation in the west of Lingxi, and is waiting for our army to join up."

The galloping horse came in front of Cao Cao's horse, and the knight did not dismount immediately, but immediately reported to Cao Cao with his fists clasped.It turned out to be a scout.

"Can you find out Dong Zhuo's army's movements?" Cao Cao asked.

"Twenty brothers have already crossed the Bian River and searched westward, but they haven't responded yet." The scout said, "General Bao Xin also sent a scout, I don't know if there is any gain."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let's join the ranks!"

"No!" The scout clasped his fists and saluted again, and then entered the army.

"The whole army obeys orders, cross Luotuo Ridge, and quickly join the former army."

Cao Cao gave an order, and the soldiers rallied and climbed to the mountain.

When they reached the ridge, Qin Yi discovered that the entire mountain was densely covered with woods, with only a small path under the hump in the middle accessible.

This path can accommodate up to four horses or two carriages in parallel, and it is winding and extremely long.It took a long time for the army to get out of the bottom of the valley.Of course, the so-called bottom of the valley is only relative to the "humps" on both sides. In fact, the road at the bottom of the valley is much higher than the flat ground.

Out of the bottom of the valley, the line of sight finally opened up.Qin Yi raised his eyes and looked far away, and saw a large army spread out not far from the bottom of the mountain.In the formation, the armor of each square team is shining, the swords and soldiers are dazzling, and the banners are unfurled, all of which are chilling.

Turning his eyes back a little, Qin Yi saw again that the slope of the mountains on the west side was steeper than that on the east side.It must be more difficult to go uphill.

However, Cao Jun was going downhill at this time, which saved him much effort.

As Qin Yi drove his horse forward, he turned back and looked at the humps on both sides, as if thinking.

"Is Tianyu observing the terrain?" Cao Cao asked Qin Yi when he noticed something strange.

"Exactly!" Qin Yi replied.

"Qin Zhuangshi, didn't you pass Luotuoling when you came from Luoyang?" Tang Hong, who was on the other side of Cao Cao, suddenly asked Qin Yi.

Tang Hong, as the commander of Cao Cao's personal guard, naturally stayed by Cao Cao's side.During this journey, he never spoke, but now he made a sound for the first time.

Qin Yi was startled: Oops, it makes people suspicious.It seems that you have to continue to lie.

"Oh, I walked through the Camel Ridge when I came here. But at that time, I didn't expect to be involved in the battle so soon, so I didn't pay attention to the terrain on the road."

"So, have you encountered General Bao's army?" Tang Hong asked another question.

Now Qin Yi didn't dare to be perfunctory. He hurriedly changed his mind and continued to lie: "I really haven't met General Bao's army. I passed Luotuoling yesterday. I think General Bao hadn't arrived then."

Tang Hong stopped talking.

Cao Cao said: "It's just a coincidence that Tianyu didn't meet Bao Yuncheng, otherwise, maybe Tianyu is in Bao Yuncheng's army right now."

"This...hehe!" Qin Yi smiled awkwardly.

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed loudly.
