Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Situ Jin left the city and ran all the way towards the camp where he was stationed.

The mountains are deep and densely forested. If you weren't familiar with the terrain, it would be easy to get lost in the mountains.

It was already late at night when the two arrived at the camp. It was getting late, and the light from the candlestick shone on everyone, casting a layer of orange light.

The general guarding the camp came over and reported: "Your Majesty, our people have found traces of a group of people stationed in the mountains near Qingshan Temple, thirty miles away from here. According to observations, there are at least three thousand people."

Situ Jin's eyelids jumped when he heard Qingshan Temple: "Have they harassed anyone in Qingshan Temple?"

The general shook his head: "That's not true. They may be afraid of being discovered. According to the regulations, when a vassal prince enters the capital, he cannot bring more than a thousand people. However, Prince Su brought three thousand people and was stationed in the mountains. It was clear at a glance There is a plan."

Situ Jin thought for a moment and said: "Let's set off tonight. Chaos has begun in the capital. I'm afraid their actions will be advanced. We must win by surprise."

After a night of investigation, Muying finally found the whereabouts of the three thousand troops. But those people were hiding in a canyon. There was water in the canyon, which made it a good place to camp.

The men and horses brought by Situ Jin stayed at the foot of the mountain, while he took a group of people to check it out. They saw only dots of fires in the canyon, and they didn't dare to get too close. At first glance, it did look like someone was stationed there.

But it was too dark to see the specific number at all. The valley was silent and most people had fallen asleep. Although those people were in the mountains, they seemed to be extremely vigilant and tightly guarded.

Situ Jin carefully surveyed the terrain here, but found something strange. The canyon was low-lying. If someone occupied the favorable terrain on the top of the mountain and threw stones or shot arrows, the people below would definitely die.

When marching and fighting, choosing a terrain that is favorable to oneself is a garrison essential that every general understands. Prince Su has led troops for many years, how could his generals not understand this most basic common sense.

Just when he was puzzled, the wind suddenly started blowing in the mountains. The weather was hot, but the temperature in the mountains was relatively low. It had not rained for many days. The mountain breeze caused the leaves to dance in the wind. Situ Jin reached out and grabbed a leaf, only to see that the leaf was already browned. He raised his head and looked around. Through the weak moonlight, he saw clearly that the water in the trees around him had long been evaporated by the hot weather.

He felt a thump in his heart. If someone were to ambush the people in the valley here, the people below would only need a fire to kill them in an instant. Coupled with the momentum created by the mountain wind, the original sneak attack would most likely turn into self-immolation. .

Thinking like this, he looked sharply at the dark tree shadows in the mountains, swaying around like ghosts.

He sneaked down the mountain with a group of people.

Seeing his serious expression after coming down the mountain, Muying hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, they are stationed in the canyon. If we shoot arrows from the mountain, they won't even have a place to hide. In the dead of night, they haven't discovered our whereabouts yet. How about we?" Take action now and catch them off guard."

Situ Jin looked at the map on the table coldly and said, "If it were you, would you station everyone in this valley?"

Muying took a closer look at the map and suddenly changed his expression: "No, this valley is surrounded by mountains. If someone discovers it and shoots arrows from the mountains, the people below will become turtles in the jar."

Situ Jin confirmed his idea: "Even you know the truth, so how can the other party's general not know it."

Mu Ying was a little unbelievable: "But why are they stationed in the valley again."

Situ Jin smiled coldly: "You only saw tents and patrols in the valley, but have you ever seen three thousand men and horses inside?"

Muying was confused at first, but when he said this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "My lord, what you mean is that the trick they used is that there is no one in the tent, and the people are hiding in other places."

Situ Jin nodded: "When we were on the top of the mountain just now, we found that the wind was blowing from the west tonight, and the weather was hot, and it had not rained for many days. The trees in the forest had already withered and turned yellow, and the trees were dry, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground. If someone makes a sneak attack, they only need a burst of fire to surround the attacker with blazing fire, and then they can easily kill the opponent without any bloodshed."

The shadow looked at him in surprise: "It's a vicious plan. If it weren't for the king's sharp eyesight, our group would probably be surrounded by the enemy tonight. So are they hiding in the mountains to the west?"

Situ Jin looked at the dense jungle on the mountain with deep eyes. He said to the people behind him: "We are marching to the west. We must not let them escape from this mountain forest and harm innocent people."

The generals of Prince Su who were hiding in the mountains were squatting in the dense jungle at the moment. At first, they stared at the movement at the foot of the mountain with their eyes wide open. The mountains were quiet, and sleepiness slowly came over them. Many people Started to take a nap.

The rising sun in the sky couldn't wait to break through the clouds and reveal its dazzling light. This was the sleepiest time of the day. Just when they were half asleep and half awake, suddenly, countless sharp arrows were shot towards them.

Before they could react, the sharp arrows were like a shroud, densely packed to greet them.

The sharp arrows were merciless, piercing through the warm bodies one after another. Some soldiers lost their lives and turned into cold corpses before they could tell where the arrows came from, or even cry out in pain.

When they followed Prince Su to the capital, Prince Su had promised that as long as they captured the capital, they would become ministers of the new dynasty, with high-ranking officials and generous salaries at their choice. But now, before they could take action, they turned into a ghost. .

The soldiers who reacted took out their swords and began to resist.

The general next to Prince Su waved the sword in his hand, and pulled a soldier beside him and said: "You, find a way to get down from the mountain, send a message to the capital, go to the East Palace, tell the prince what happened here, and let them take precautions in advance."

As he said that, he clenched the sharp knife in his hand and gritted his teeth and said: "I'm holding them all back. Come and kill them one by one, and find a way to get out."

Prince Su's people were forced to retreat step by step, and soon the people around them fell down one by one. Even to their death, they still didn't understand how they could be suddenly attacked when they were hiding low in the mountains.

Prince Ransu's people were not vegetarians. Although they suffered some losses at first, they soon understood that the general knew that the other party must have discovered his method of arranging troops. If they were to evacuate to the east at this moment, , the opponent will definitely attack with fire, and then they will really have no chance of winning.

He took the remaining people and ran as hard as they could to the south. He had already surveyed the terrain. There was a temple in the south. The temple was built on a mountain and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they hid in the temple, the lives of the people in the temple would be at risk. Threatening, maybe there is still a way to survive.
