The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

Chapter 173 Dawn may be the time for destiny to restart

Some soldiers were unable to dodge in time and when they stepped over the top of the snowball, steel knives suddenly stabbed out from the snowball.

There was a hissing sound, and blood splattered again.

The steel knife pierced the soldier's chest and continued to roll down.

There was no time to save the guard, he had already died.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Duan Zhan leaped up, saving every last one he could. The 2,500 elite soldiers were quickly dispersed.

"General Changfeng, don't worry about us. Go up the mountain first!"

The soldiers who were scattered were worried that Duan Zhan would get injured while rescuing people, so they hurriedly asked him to retreat, while the snowballs on the top of the mountain were still falling.

It was strange. I clearly didn't see anyone and there was no sound at all, but Snowball seemed to have eyes.

If they can go down the mountain now, then Zhao Li and others who are trapped on the mountain will most likely be left without rescue.

But what is the scene on the mountain?

"Come on, follow me and continue up the mountain!"

Duan Zhan ordered the scattered soldiers to unite as much as possible, and those who could go down the mountain should go down and call for support. He then continued to move forward with the remaining thousand people.

"Everyone, be careful around you and watch out for each other!"

The daytime was so difficult, and I couldn't imagine how dangerous it would be at night. As the sun gradually set, Duan Zhan called out to everyone, "Hurry up."

But once they speed up, danger surrounds them.

The tragic deaths of the fallen soldiers echoed in everyone's mind. Why weren't they afraid? They were just responsible for the people and the rise and fall of the country by wearing this armor.

It is faith that supports them.

"It's cold, it's so cold."

Suddenly, a lot of fog drifted all over the mountain.

It was clearly noon, so how could there be such thick fog? I could hardly see the scenery in front of me, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

Duan Zhan made a gesture and everyone stopped immediately.

"Everyone, listen up and gather."

Soon, more than a thousand people gathered together, forming a black mass in the center of the mountain, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow.

That’s not good. If we all gather together, we will become targets of the enemy.

Duan Zhan thought about this and immediately told everyone to squat and spread out. Sure enough, the moment the soldiers moved, a dense barrage of arrows came from all directions.

"Cover the general."

A soldier stood up and tried to block Duan Zhan, but was unfortunately hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

"Ben will not need anyone's protection. Everyone should protect themselves."

Duan Zhan shouted, trying to stop anyone from coming to him. He didn't want to see any unnecessary sacrifice.

This is the bureau.

It was a trap set by the enemy.

But they have already stepped in, there is no turning back!

Life or death, he must find Zhao Li and others.

Arrows flew all over the sky and shot towards the place where they had just gathered. Fortunately, there was only one casualty.

"Set up the formation."

Duan Zhan's eyes moved, and he used the tree trunk to block his view while carefully observing his surroundings. When he saw the arrows stopped, he immediately made a gesture to the soldiers.

On the battlefield, shouts will drown out the commander's words, and the soldiers must watch the commander's gestures and actions.

Everyone was well-trained, and the moment they saw the gesture, the team of a thousand people split up.

Arrows shot towards their scattered positions again, and Duan Zhan ordered, "Protect!"

The next moment, two people formed a group, one soldier stepped on the shoulder of another soldier to form a formation, the people below moved, and the people above broke the arrows, and quickly blocked the tens of thousands of sharp swords coming from the top of the mountain.

Duan Zhan soared into the air and soon discovered the poorly hidden enemy troops. He picked up the arrow on the ground, gathered strength in his palm and shot the arrow with all his internal strength.

In the distance, a dark shadow fell and disappeared, and the arrows stopped firing.

"The people of Beiling are indeed good at making mechanisms."

Such a large operation was actually done by just one person.

If they had not found the eye of the needle in time, more than a thousand people would have died.

No wonder they were lured to the northwestern mountains. Beiling wanted to strangle them all here!

"No, I can't ask for backup."

The entire northwest mountain range is a huge trap. Every one who comes will be killed here. The more reinforcements come, the easier it is to be defeated.

Duan Zhan commanded the soldiers closest to the foot of the mountain, saying, "Quick, get down the mountain immediately. Forbid General Wu from bringing reinforcements."

"But General, if we don't have support, we will die on this mountain!"

Duan Zhan was determined, "I will definitely get you out of this mountain range safely. If you can't leave, I will kill all the enemy troops without leaving a single one alive!"

Everyone is afraid of death.

But he is not afraid of dying for the country and for the safety of the people!

Now they are deeply trapped in the game, and the only thing they can do is to break it with their own strength, rather than letting more innocent people die.

"The rest of the soldiers, do you have the courage to go into the mountains with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Thousands of people cheered, their blood boiling.

Duan Zhan immediately led his men forward.

The thick fog had not yet dissipated and the enemy was in the dark, completely blocking the army's advance.

The sky gradually darkened, and it seemed that everyone had only reached halfway up the mountain.

"General, it's getting dark soon,"

For some reason, everyone had a premonition that once it got dark, it would be time for the enemy to hunt them.

Duan Zhan's expression was solemn.

After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind, "Find a shelter and set up camp."

The mountains are covered with white snow. Where is the so-called safe place except for the dead trees?

Everyone knows that finding a place to live is more difficult than guarding against enemies, but it has to be found.

It is not convenient for them to move around in this unfamiliar territory late at night. If they can get through the night safely, dawn may be the time for their fate to restart.

When Qi Yu returned to the military camp, he saw Wu Yu rolling off his horse with wounds all over his body.

He rushed over, but before he could help the man up, several figures stumbled in from outside the camp.

There were five of them, one blind, one with a broken arm, and two covered in wounds of varying sizes, their bodies seemingly enveloped in blood. Only after seeing him and Wu Yu did he willingly collapse to the ground, clinging to life with his last breath. The last man, seemingly uninjured and full of energy, uttered only one sentence before collapsing.

"Changfeng... General Changfeng ordered... ordered everyone not to... not to provide support."

boom.

The moment the soldiers fell, a cloud of dust was raised.

Even the powerless Wu Yu forced himself to look over.

"He, how is he?"

Qi Yu hurriedly handed Wu Yu over to someone else, walked up to the soldier himself, and sniffed his breath.

"He's dead."

died?

There seemed to be no wounds to the naked eye, and the living person died just like that!

Qi Yu recognized him; he was one of Duan Zhan's adjutants.

Shouldn't Duan Zhan be fighting General Ao Nian of Beiling on the front line right now?

What support?

"Come here, what happened!"

Qi Yu roared, and the soldiers left in the camp had not yet recovered from the shock.

Wu Yu was helped to stand up. "Zhao Li, the northwest area that Zhao Li is in charge of seems to be in trouble. The general has led people to provide support."

what?

Qi Yu had never expected that in just three days, what happened in the camp was beyond their control.

It was clearly planned that they would each be responsible for three places waiting for him to return.

"I'm going to support Duan Zhan!"

"No!" Wu Yu stopped him immediately.

"Didn't you hear him say that the general is not allowed to provide support?"
