After more than a dozen waves of scouts were sent out, they finally brought back some valuable information.

Wang Meng simply sorted out the information, "Currently, we only found out that the bandit's lair is in a valley deep in the forest. The valley is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one exit into the valley."

"Wouldn't that be great, as long as we seal off the road at Taniguchi, they will run out of ammunition and food one day, and then we will be able to take down the bandit's lair without a single soldier." Liao Zhen was finally smart. Back, the countermeasures I came up with are also very practical.

However, accidents always happen. Wang Meng sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly, "It would be nice if it was that simple. The bad thing is that the road leading to the deep valley is a rough waterway."

As soon as this remark came out, Liao Zhen was completely stunned. How could there be waterways in a good mountain forest?

Su Wen didn't worry about the waterway. Instead, he tapped his index finger on the table rhythmically and asked, "The infantry is okay, but the cavalry and heavy machinery must not be able to travel by waterway. We can't bear the time to build a big ship."

"Is there any place to detour, it doesn't matter if it's difficult."

Wang Meng shook his head again, shattering the last hope in his heart, "The valley is surrounded by them layer upon layer, densely covered with traps, taking a detour will only lead to death and increase casualties."

Liao Zhen got a little angry, he slapped the table and said angrily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, you should think of a feasible way!"

Seeing that the two capable generals under him were about to quarrel, Qi Jingxuan came forward to mediate, "Liao Zhen, don't interrupt, just listen to Wang Meng's words."

She spoke, and the two big men fell silent.

Wang Meng continued what he said earlier: "Earlier, there was a team of scouts who lost their way and bumped into a small hill by mistake. According to the team leader, the hill was not far from the bandit's lair and was within the attack range of the catapult. In two hours, the mountain patrol team will be replaced once, we can..."

He clarified the battle plan in detail, as for how to deploy troops, it is not a problem for him to worry about.

Qi Jingxuan frowned and thought for a while, "I'm afraid that the hill is a trap specially set for us by the other party."

"We can't rule out this possibility. After all, the small hill is too obvious. It is undoubtedly a deadly spot for the bandits' lair in the deep valley." Wang Meng agreed.

"Then let's modify the battle plan a little bit. Tomorrow morning, we will split into two groups. Su Wen will lead a group of troops to guard the exit of the waterway. Liao Zhen will lead a group of troops and bring heavy machinery to the hill, leaving 2000 people behind. Wang Meng has other arrangements." Qi Jingxuan finally said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The three of them clasped their fists in unison.

……

Lin Si Mountain, a bandit village.

In the simple conference hall, the most important person is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, wearing the royal costume of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a cold temperament.

Those listed on the left and right sides are all the remnants of the Eastern Han Dynasty who supported her back then.

"Princess Qi, the person leading the troops this time is Qi Jingxuan, the King of Linyuan from Fengqi Kingdom, who has [-] troops. He has already set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and he is constantly dispatching scouts, intending to search for our camp. The boys use traps, I killed several teams of scouts, but I still let some fish that slipped through the net go to our camp." A muscular young man stood respectfully in the middle of the conference hall and reported.

Zhao Qilian clenched the armrest of the seat, his eyes were fierce, and he said with hatred: "Don't worry, just continue with the plan you made before, since Qi Jingxuan dares to come, don't blame me for the new and old grudges with her." clear!"

"Yes, Your Highness the Eldest Princess." The young man agreed and took the order to leave.

Looking through the open door, looking at the narrow blue sky, it seems to have returned to the era of war.

The scene of the Eastern Han Dynasty Palace, like a purgatory on earth, kept appearing in my mind, and the raging flames dyed half of the sky red.

Countless heroic spirits who died in battle screamed in pain and roared unwillingly.

Soon, soon she will be able to avenge them. She will cut off the head of Qi Jingxuan with her own hands, and pay homage to her father, queen and queen.

……

According to Qi Jingxuan's division of troops, from finalizing the action plan to now, they have also eliminated more than a hundred bandits.

Qi Jingxuan selected the [-] most capable soldiers from the remaining [-] elite soldiers, put on bandits' clothes, and prepared to break into the enemy's interior.

Wang Meng grabbed Qi Jingxuan who was about to take off his armor, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he strongly objected: "Your Highness, this trip is too dangerous, let the last general go."

Her status is too precious, and she is extremely sensitive. If there is something wrong with her, not to mention the one in the palace will be furious, even the right minister will not be able to explain it to him.

Instead of putting her in danger, it's better to take her place.

After getting along for so many years, how could Qi Jingxuan not know his thoughts, she shook her head and smiled and said: "Their target is the king, you can't effectively contain them, and you can't find the bandits hidden inside the Eastern Han Dynasty. A fish that slipped through the net."

"Only if the king is deeply trapped by the enemy, they will attack at all costs in order to take the head of the king."

"At that time, you will lead the overall situation, and this king can feel at ease. If this king is not lucky and encounters any danger, you just need to remember to keep this king alive, and quickly send someone back to Linyuan City to invite Doctor Lu. Only she can do it." The King of Guarantees will not die."

"Don't forget! Don't forget!" She held Wang Meng's shoulder tightly and urged her repeatedly.

Wang Meng lived in the military camp all the year round, but he had heard of the famous doctor Lu for a long time.

He also maintained a skeptical attitude towards her medical skills, but King Linyuan's repeated warnings made him have to pay attention.

He quickly agreed: "Remember, Your Highness, you can't do anything, don't act recklessly, look for the right time to retreat, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood if we keep the green hills."

Qi Jingxuan chuckled and didn't say any more.

A group of hundreds of people changed their clothes and pretended to be bandits. Under the leadership of a small bandit leader who was afraid of death, they bypassed many traps, walked past guard posts, and finally entered the valley before dark.

At the same time, the eight thousand cavalry led by Su Wen blocked the exit of the waterway into and out of the deep valley.

Unless you can be invisible, no one can step out of the encirclement.

Liao Zhen led [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, dragging five catapults, and silently climbed up the hill near the valley.

The catapult is also ready under his command, waiting for the signal fireworks.

Clinker, as soon as Qi Jingxuan and the others entered the bandit village, they were surrounded by a large group of people holding torches.

From outside the crowd came an indifferent, slightly sarcastic female voice, "Qi Jingxuan, I really don't know whether to say you are courageous or resourceful."

Knowing that the plan had been revealed, she didn't show it on her face. Hearing a familiar voice, she also laughed loudly: "I never thought that the fish that slipped through the net back then was actually you, Zhao Qilian."

It seems that the charred female corpse found in the Princess Mansion was not her own.

"What? Could it be that this palace is still alive, so that King Linyuan can't believe it?" The crowd automatically parted ways, and Zhao Qilian walked gracefully, step by step, until he was less than a foot away from her before stopping.

Qi Jingxuan shook her head, did not answer her words, but said with a light smile: "Seeing you reminds me of a person. You also know that person, so it can be said that you are very familiar."

She deliberately kept it a secret, and with the other party's arrogant character, she believed that she had already been caught, so she didn't care about saying a few more words to herself.

"Your Highness, don't waste your words with this officer, so as not to be deceitful." A strong man beside her said warily.

"It's okay, just listen to what she said for now." She waved her hand and said indifferently.

Qi Jingxuan made a gesture behind her back, and slowly took two steps forward, just when the strong man was about to draw his sword, she barely stopped.

"That person is none other than Miao Kai."

As soon as the meaning of her words fell, a gorgeous firework suddenly rose into the sky from behind her and exploded in the dark night sky.

I don't know whether I heard the name she said, or I was surprised by this sudden change.

Zhao Qilian's eyes widened suddenly, and he wanted to ask about Miao Kai's situation, but it was too late, and he was quickly evacuated by a group of people protecting him.

They could only watch helplessly as Qi Jingxuan and the others were submerged in the shadows of countless swords and swords.

Whether it is Su Wen, who is blocked at the valley entrance, or Liao Zhen, who is far away on the hill, they can clearly see the fireworks together.

Without further ado, Liao Zhen ordered the catapult to ignite giant stone balls coated with palm oil, and threw them at the bandit village that had begun to riot.

Just two volleys from the five catapults smashed the wooden bandit village to pieces, and the wood wrapped in flames scattered like rain.

Not only did they ignite their food and grass, some fell directly into the stables, causing the horses to flee in all directions.

There were 30 bandits who were trampled and killed by galloping horses alone.

As if that wasn't messy enough, Liao Zhen ordered another volley, but this time it wasn't a fireball.

Dimly visible by the light of the fire, it turned out to be a large tree trunk as thick as several people's arms, and a chain as thick as an arm was tied in the middle of the trunk.

The distance is too high and too far, and the five trunks have landed completely, and only two of them can be used.

In addition to killing some unlucky people who couldn't dodge, the other three roots all became fuel for the fire in the bandit village.

For a while, there was thick smoke everywhere in the bandit village, and they were a little farther away, so I couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or a friend.

It also gave Qi Jingxuan and the others who broke into the enemy's interior a room to breathe.

Zhao Qilian watched the old nest that had been in operation for more than ten years destroyed, and his eyes were so angry that the ducks flew away.

"Come here, send an order to the palace to order the archers ambushing around to shoot arrows without distinction."

"It doesn't matter whether you live or die, you must leave Qi Jingxuan behind!"

The white-bearded old man hurriedly said to stop it: "Your Highness, absolutely not!"

"The people who participated in the siege and killing of Qi Jingxuan were all young and strong members of the clan. If they shoot arrows indiscriminately, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. Please think twice, Your Highness."

At this time, Zhao Qilian's only remaining rationality was also consumed by the anger, and he roared angrily: "Think twice, think twice, you always make me think twice."

"Whoever comes again today will be dragged out and beheaded!"

"What are you still doing in a daze, and you haven't passed the order yet!"

The young man guarding her side didn't dare to delay and quickly ran out to deliver the order.

At the same time, led by Liao Zhen, all the infantry slid along the iron chains, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, and slid all the way from the hill to the bandit village.

He bent his knees and hugged his head and rolled away a long way before barely stopping his figure, got up and drew out his long knife to join the battle circle, which greatly relieved the pressure on the soldiers in the inner circle.

"Clearly"

"Clearly"

"Clearly"

The sound of countless bowstrings catapulting sounded, followed by a rain of arrows like locusts in the sky.

On this battlefield with billowing smoke, burning flames, and low visibility, it was difficult to avoid the dense rain of arrows.

People fell to the ground with arrows at a speed visible to the naked eye, like cutting wheat.

The soldiers who took the chain zipline seemed to be living targets with nowhere to hide. They fell from the sky like dumplings and survived.

Qi Jingxuan was the focus of this wave of arrow rain, and the number of arrows shot at her was almost several times that of other places.

If it weren't for the large number of bandits on the periphery to share the firepower, it would be difficult for her to resist, and she would only be weighed by two arrows.

Fortunately, none of the injuries were fatal. She gritted her teeth and broke off the arrow shaft that was in the way, and fought side by side with the soldiers with a long sword in hand.

Her desperate fight completely infected the few dozen remaining soldiers around her, and they used their flesh and blood to form a line of defense.

Protecting Qi Jingxuan firmly in the middle, someone shouted: "Protect the prince, brothers, kill!"

A short sentence of less than ten words, once spread to ten, ten to hundreds, spread throughout the entire battlefield in no time.

Even Liao Zhen's blood surged up, and he shouted together: "Protect the prince, brothers, kill!"

It is like a shot in the arm, injected into the blood of every soldier.

Let them not be afraid of enemies that are several times their own, and fight hard.

Qi Jingxuan's eyes were red, she was dressed roughly, and swung the long sword in her hand with all her strength.

Standing beside her and standing in front of her are all elite soldiers trained by her.

They are all like her children, and she feels sorry for losing any of them.

She raised her long sword horizontally, and just blocked a bandit's powerful slash, and then another bandit rushed over to make up for it.

Qi Jingxuan, who was already seriously injured and shed a lot of blood, thought she was about to die here, a soldier who appeared from nowhere stopped in front of her without hesitation, and took the opponent's hand for her. A knife swung.

"puff"

Hot blood sprayed all over her head and face, and she watched the young figure fall down in front of her.

She roared like crazy, and she was like a fierce god who came out of hell. Every time she swung a sword, she took away a person's life.

Under the reflection of the fire, Zhao Qilian decisively gave the order to shoot the arrow again, looking at the crazy woman in the distance.

On the other side, under the command of Wang Meng, Su Wen led [-] soldiers, supported simple bamboo rafts, crossed the winding waterway, and went straight to the bandit's lair.

Seeing that the battle situation was developing in a direction that was beneficial to them, who would have expected that the bandits would have a backhand, thousands of hidden archers.

The bow and arrow were raised again, and a volley came.

Suwen was still on the bamboo raft, some distance away from the shore, and the soldiers were drowned by the rain of arrows.

His eyes were fixed on that unyielding back, watching the people protecting her fall one by one, and watching the arrows stuck in her body.

Su Wen's eyes were red, and all the reinforcements held their breath and paddled the bamboo raft desperately.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Qi Jingxuan: "My concubine, this king is going to die."

Mi Yunting: "My dear, when will you die? The concubine wants to divide the property and remarry."

Qi Jingxuan cried out, "Mom, come out and see your niece, I haven't done anything yet, she is thinking about dividing up the family property and remarrying."

The author's mother ate melon seeds and watched the play, "I can't control the married daughter and the water that was spilled. Besides, you've been hit by arrows a few times. You should just die."

Mi Yunting: "Mother, don't worry, it's too late for her to die after she makes a will."

The author's mother: "Okay, then finish writing before you die, remember to get half of the money for me."

Mi Yunting: "Okay, happy cooperation!"
