Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 262 The Qin sheep is not worth mentioning!

The weather in the frontier is terrible.

In the second half of the night, the temperature dropped sharply and heavy snow fell from the sky.

But I have to say that it was thanks to Song Yuan's foresight.

Relying on the snow cave to keep warm, even if the temperature outside drops a lot, the temperature inside the snow cave still remains acceptable.

It wasn't exactly warm, but at least warm enough to sleep.

At this time, some of Song Yuan's previous unintentional actions actually brought a lot of benefits.

In order to ensure that every soldier in the field could eat meat, Song Yuan had previously spent a large sum of money to purchase a number of sheep. After the sheep were slaughtered, the mutton was used to satisfy his appetite.

The peeled sheepskin became the felt under everyone's body.

This thing doesn't look thick, but it's really warm.

Thanks to the padding under the body, which isolates the cold, people can fall asleep.

This sleep, with two beauties by my side, was particularly sweet.

The next morning, Song Yuan walked out of the snow cave.

Looking up, the whole sky and earth turned into a vast expanse of white.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, blocking the view in front of us. Compared with yesterday, the visibility is now much lower.

Just thirty meters away, you can't see anything clearly.

Facing this scene, Song Yuan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Who can stand this horrible weather?

While he was secretly complaining, he did not stop moving and led everyone around him to the sentry post.

Facing the cold winter, the soldiers at the outpost had already boiled a pot of hot water. Song Yuan looked at the breath in front of him and was about to go forward to ask for a bowl of water.

A sudden voice suddenly interrupted Song Yuan's thoughts, and made everyone stunned at this moment!

Tap tap tap tap…

This familiar sound echoed in Song Yuan's mind, instantly reminding him of the scene of horse hooves hitting the ground.

The howling cold wind formed a special rhythm with this sound.

Song Yuan's expression changed instantly, and an idea popped into his mind.

The barbarians are crossing the river!

Thinking of this, Song Yuan suddenly came to his senses and stood up straight.

"Hurry up, everyone, hurry up, stay hidden, and conceal yourselves!"

"Remember, everyone, don't make any noise. Follow the orders. No one is allowed to act without permission until the drums are sounded!"

After hearing Song Yuan's order, how could others dare to be negligent?

Wang Chao Mahan beside him passed the order immediately.

As this process progressed, the sound of horse hooves echoing in the canyon became louder and louder.

Listening to the increasingly deafening sound in his ears, Song Yuan's thoughts couldn't help but become a little confused.

After all, it was his first time facing such a big scene, and his mind was full of thoughts that had nothing to do with war.

If the sound of horse hooves were at the same frequency, would the snow around them collapse?

If the people below are buried alive, it will be fun to watch.

Damn, what was I thinking?

Now is the battlefield, now is the war!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Song Yuan shook his head and then adjusted his thoughts.

Then, he slowly stood up and gave an order to the guard behind him.

"Send a signal smoke signal!"

"Your Highness, it's snowing heavily right now. Even if we release the signal smoke, it won't be visible for more than a few dozen meters. How can it be effective?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just do what I tell you to do!"

Song Yuan urged, and seeing his men in a panic, he secretly complained in his heart.

In the end, this group of people can only do hard labor.

I am the signal fire, so how can I show it to my own people?

It's clearly for the barbarians to see!

Only by letting them see the signal smoke can we feel at ease and continue the raid.

However, with the sound of horse hooves, Song Yuan's body began to tremble gradually.

Jin Lian, who was behind him, noticed the commotion and couldn't help but poke Song Yuan's waist with her elbow: "What's wrong?"

"Don't talk, I'm a little nervous..."

Song Yuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his appearance caused a hint of surprise to flash in Jinlian's eyes.

What is this guy nervous about?

The current movements of the barbarians are exactly the same as what Song Yuan said before.

The so-called tension is completely groundless and there is really no need for it.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

Faced with such concern, Song Yuan did not dare to explain. He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

I could hear the sound of horse hooves, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Song Yuan subconsciously clenched his fists.

There were even more shouts in my mind.

It’s coming, it’s finally coming!

It will be there soon!

Song Yuan's mouth trembled slightly, and he finally tried hard to purse his lips. He was afraid that if he was not careful, something would come out of his mouth.

At the same time that Song Yuan was nervous, among the barbarian army.

A soldier slowly returned and came before Commander Lamucuo.

"General, I saw a signal smoke signal lit on the enemy's second lieutenant. I'm afraid our movements have already been discovered!"

"I don't know shit!"

Hearing the concerns of his men, a ferocious look appeared on Lamucuo's face, and then he laughed out loud.

"Look at the weather. You can't even see a ghost a hundred meters away. In this kind of weather, even if his signal fire is lit brightly, what good will it do?"

"It seems to me that these people from Daqin are clearly frightened and stunned. Otherwise, how could they do such a ridiculous thing?"

"Doesn't this clearly tell us that they are in the outpost?"

Hearing this analysis, the deputy general beside him also smiled: "General, you are absolutely right. The high priest has warned us before!"

"If the barbarians send out signal smoke signals, then there's nothing to fear. It seems the high priest was right!"

This is exactly what Song Yuan was thinking.

When the barbarians saw the wolf smoke, combined with the surrounding environment, they would only think that the Qin soldiers had lost their composure.

In this way, it is inevitable to be careless.

On the contrary, the failure to light the signal smoke would make people alert and make them wonder whether the Qin Dynasty had ambushed troops here?

Just when everyone was happy, the spy from the front came to report again.

"General, we saw the Qin army on the road ahead. It looks like they want to intercept us!"

"How many people are there in total?"

"Based on the arrows and stones fired, there were no more than a few dozen casualties. Our troops only suffered a small number of casualties, probably from those in the outpost!"

Upon hearing that the Qin Dynasty dared to take the initiative to provoke, a bloodthirsty expression immediately appeared on Lamucuo's face.

With a hint of disdain, he sneered, "I think they've really lost their minds. Do they think they can stop my barbarian cavalry with only a few dozen people?"

"For so many of us, these losses are nothing but a scratch. Pass the order, no one is allowed to waste time with the enemy. According to the High Priest's orders, what we need to do most is to buy time and pass through the canyon as quickly as possible!"

At the end of his speech, Lamucuo raised the sword in his hand and shouted.

"My men, charge with me!"

"Then we'll dig out the hearts and livers of our enemies and soak them in wine!"

hoo hoo hoo!

Lamu Co's call caused bursts of cheers.

The next second, 20,000 troops rushed towards the other side of the canyon like a tide, with waves of iron hooves.

Soon, without any warning, everyone arrived at the narrowest part of the canyon.

This place is close to the exit, about two miles away.

The widest place is only a hundred feet away.

In the narrowest places, only ten cavalrymen could walk side by side.

Faced with the scene before him, the barbarians' excellent riding skills were perfectly demonstrated.

Ordinary cavalry would definitely panic when faced with such a narrow environment.

Looking at the cavalrymen behind Lamucuo, there was no panic on their faces. They adjusted their formation in an orderly manner. The cavalrymen in front gathered towards the center, and the cavalrymen behind consciously slowed down.

But in the blink of an eye, the vanguard troops had already entered the canyon.

At this moment, the attack from above also changed.

Before that, Song Yuan ordered his men to attack with arrows.

At this moment, the rain of swords was replaced by stones.

This will create an illusion for the enemy that the Qin Dynasty is completely unprepared and has even run out of ammunition.

Faced with such an attack that was like a tickle, the barbarians did not slow down at all. Many of them with superb riding skills even drew their bows and arrows and began to counterattack overhead.

"No, no, everyone, listen to my orders, retreat quickly!"

As the barbarians took action, the sound of retreat was heard.

Such a commotion, when heard by Lamucuo, made him extremely proud.

The mere Qin State was no problem at all. It was just like a lamb as the high priest had said.

But we are a pack of wolves that came from the grassland. How can the sheep survive when surrounded by wolves?

These herbivores can only run.

But where can they run to?

Based on the provocation of the Qin people just now, Lamu Co had already sentenced them to death in his heart.

With a bit of anxiety, Lamucuo shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to my command, speed up and rush through the canyon!"

"When the time comes, cut off the heads of those Daqin people!"

Following this order, a large group of people quickly entered the canyon, and the team at the front had even reached the middle of the canyon.

The heavy sound of horse hooves echoed in the small space, making it seem a bit harsh.

When Kelamucuo heard this, his face was filled with excitement, and he murmured, "If we can capture the Great Qin Prince alive this time, it will be a great achievement!"

The order that Lamucuo received this time was to deal with Song Yuan.

Based on Song Yuan's status, once Lamucuo can complete this attack, he will definitely be able to be promoted three levels after returning.

"Ouch!"

Thinking of the excitement, Lamucuo couldn't help but raise his head and let out a wolf howl.

When the team behind him saw this, they all tried to imitate it.

For a moment, the howling of wolves echoed in the canyon.

Song Yuan, who was standing in front of the sentry post, saw this commotion and a hint of disdain flashed between his brows. His originally solemn expression finally relaxed.

A cold voice came out of his mouth.

"Pass it on, everyone, get started!"

But three seconds later, a heavy drumbeat completely suppressed the barbarians' wolf howls.

The originally excited barbarian cavalrymen were slightly stunned when they heard such a commotion.

what's the situation?

But before they could react, bundles of firewood suddenly appeared at the exit in front of them.

But in the blink of an eye, dry firewood fell from the sky, directly blocking their retreat and even blocking the exit.

At the same time, a cold voice sounded, and in just an instant, it sentenced the barbarians to their doom.

"Fire arrows!"

The moment the words fell, flaming arrows fell from the sky.

The blazing flames, when they came into contact just now, instantly spread across the prairie!
