A troop of soldiers, in disarray, fled down the mountain.

The leader, wearing a silver helmet, had a handsome face full of panic. His mouth was still moving non-stop.

"What's going on! Xiao Yiming!"

"How come when I was running, people just disappeared!"

Xiaoyi's face was calm as he spoke, "Your Highness, we've been followed."

When we were coming down from the mountains before, someone chased us out from the mountain. Though there weren't many of them, they were all very skilled.

They were very good archers and killed many of us from behind.

Hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Kim Jiande's pale face: "So few people, why not kill them all!"

Xiao Yiming replied, "I have already sent people to fight them, but the main task is still to escort Your Highness out."

These geese have fallen among the mountains. Qin Ze's army is simply too numerous; if we don't leave soon, I fear we will all die here.

Jin Jiande gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it!! What the hell is going on!"

"This Qin Ze was obviously attacking Anyang County not long ago. Even with 200,000 soldiers defending the city under Xiao Ru's command, how could it be possible for him to kill 120,000 of Qin Ze's men!"

“How long has it been? Where did his troops in Yanlu Mountain come from!”

"They're all ghosts!"

Xiao Yiming shook his head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the soldiers and horses in Yanlu Mountain are indeed enigmatic.

“This Qin Ze is truly hard to figure out, but no matter what, we shouldn't have....”

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yiming keenly sensed a change in Jin Jiande's eyes, and immediately changed his tune:

"Your Highness, the rear path is blocked. It's fraught with danger and there's no way out. As for the road to Anyang County, I suspect Qin Ze might have stationed heavy troops there as well."

"Qin Ze looks like he's going to kill everyone who enters the mountain before he stops."

Jin Jiande's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach, his face as white as a sheet.

What do we do?!

"Where should we go?!" Kim Jiande asked, flustered and urgent.

Xiao Yiming's face was gloomy, "There is a way out, but it's a bit dangerous."

By now, Jin Jiande doesn't care about anything else. All that matters is escaping Yanlu Mountain and staying alive.

"Alright! No matter what, as long as we can escape!"

"Xiao Yiming, you take me out, after returning to Beijing, I will reward you heavily!"

Just as he was speaking, shouts of "kill" came from behind. Jin Jiande's eyes narrowed, and his whole body trembled.

------

"My lord, Zhang Yi has returned with his troops!"

"The battlefields where others are fighting probably are nearing their end too!"

Inside the tent, Dian Wei rubbed his hands together, anxiously looking at Qin Ze.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze nodded slightly and placed a stone on a particular spot on the map of geomancy.

After seeing Dian Wei's impatient expression, he calmly said: "Judging by your look, the scout has already spotted Wu Kui's army?"

Dian Wei's eyes flickered, and the corner of his mouth gradually curled upwards.

"Yes!"

He clapped his hands and said, "Well, it took Martial Que's troops half a day to get here. They sure are slow."

Qin Ze kept his face calm and shook his head.

He took a road straight to me, but it was also the longest route, winding and turning endlessly. Besides, it started raining. Where could he possibly get there quickly?

The routes his men took were certainly clear, but... well, they couldn't get up.

Prior to this, after Qin Ze exchanged troops and horses, the first thing he did was deploy a large number of scouts in the Yànluò Mountains. With them present, enemy intelligence could be swiftly relayed back to him.

In this way, the enemy's movements become crystal clear. It would be so much easier then.

Now, some places are nearing the end of the fighting. Qin Ze knows that the Battle of Yànluòshan is also approaching its final stages.

As for the others, needless to say, this time the troops who came to Yanshan were those of the imperial court, led by the Jin people. The scout's previous message was that Li Jing had already surrounded and attacked them.

And meanwhile, news from other battlefields also indicated that the barbarian armies were gaining ground.

In preparation for this battle, Qin Ze had exchanged a large amount of military supplies and also prepared his troops. Now that these good news have arrived, it was bound to happen.

As for the barbarian army, the force led by Wukui remains to be dealt with.

But now, they are a lone army.

Hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops, having marched this far, have already reached their final destination.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze walked out of the tent, Dian Wei following closely behind.

Outside, the sky was gloomy. Qin Ze looked at the dark sky and then said softly:

"Come on, the last battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

——

A marching barbarian army, about to reach its destination, was ambushed by a volley of crossbow fire.

These iron-tipped arrows came suddenly, shooting from afar in a volley.

Those dense arrow feathers like an impenetrable net, swarming toward the army, covered it.

The long arrows pierced through warhorses, tearing through human flesh, mercilessly harvesting any living being they came into contact with.

Immediately following this, people were trampled, blood flowed everywhere, and even internal organs spilled from chests.

At this moment, the barbarian army, which had been eerily silent all along, erupted in a cacophony of wails and screams.

Faced with this almost endless barrage of iron feather arrows, where could there possibly be any place to hide in this mountain path? It was like being a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

A roar ripped through the crowd: "Charge!"

Wu Kui's face was contorted with anger. At this point, how could he not understand the situation they were in!

I was struck by crossbow bolts here, and I imagine the soldiers elsewhere suffered a similar fate. The shouts of battle are growing fainter now. It seems they are...

Wu Kui didn't want to think about it anymore. From the Southern Border, he had traveled all the way here, spending too much time, energy, and bringing too many people with him.

And now, facing the enemy who has already been determined ahead, he has made up his mind that this will be a fight to the death.

It's either your death or mine!

The soldiers held up their shields, with all their might, blocking the arrows that flew towards them. Their crimson faces bore the grim determination of those facing certain death.

This all-or-nothing battle, ignites at this very moment.

——

Meanwhile.

At the forefront of the barbarian army, outside the camp, Qin Ze stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, watching the archers in front of him load crossbow arrows and shoot iron feather arrows downward.

At this time, a troop of soldiers came from the mountain path on the left side of the military camp.

That chief general shouted from afar,

"My Lord!"

Qin Ze raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was Zhang Liao.

Soon, Zhang Liao arrived on horseback. He dismounted and said to the lord, "My lord, these barbarian troops are indeed quite different."

Compared to the troops of An Yang County before, they were indeed stronger.

The enemy general I faced also had some skill, but not much!

Qin Ze nodded, looking ahead and saying: "Well, this Wu Kui is leading the troops to charge. These barbarians have always been fearless in death."

As soon as the words left his lips, Dian Wei was already cracking his knuckles and eagerly said: "I wonder if I'll have a chance to make a move. This group of people probably can't even get close!"

At the same time, in another mountain path, a red figure was dashing along the road, like a phantom running into the mountains!

Geese fall on the mountains. The few thin lines are mountain paths, and the red dots are battlefields, all leading to the protagonist's location. Wu Kui is on the most curved path. Please excuse me for not drawing it (sad)
