Wang Jian, who had not arrived in time, worried that his presence would expose Luzi to danger, hurriedly instructed the others following him to lie down. Because of the delayed reaction, he could only watch helplessly as the distance between both sides grew closer. Just as he was about to order the archers to prepare for battle, he suddenly noticed Li Xin emerging from behind a tree to greet the opposing cavalry.
The raised bow did not hinder a quick shot; all it took was a change of posture to immediately release an arrow. Li Xin was estimating the number of targets across from him when he unexpectedly encountered a familiar face! Upon closer inspection, he remembered that this Captain was actually an old subordinate of his elder brother, Huang Fei. He hurried over to help Lu Ding up and smiled, "So it's Brother Lu! I thought it was someone else! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Since they were acquaintances, there was naturally no danger. Lu Ding got up and signaled for his men to put away their weapons, laughing, "General Li, haven't you found my fifth brother yet? Why are you still lingering here?"
The so-called fifth brother referred to their youngest sibling, Han Yongcheng.
Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh deeply. "Alas! It's quite a long story! Ever since Lightwolf Fortress fell, my brother and I have been separated. A few days ago, I borrowed some military supplies from my elder brother and made my way to our catapult position. Since I had some men who understood flag signals with me, Uncle Liang kept us here after hearing the news. He said since we're going to fight the Qin Army, why not do it here!? After thinking it over, I realized he had a point, so I decided to stay and help General Liang. As for finding people... let's wait until things settle down a bit!"
As they spoke about their sorrows, both men sighed in sympathy.
Li Xin worried that Luzi and Xiao Yu'er hiding in the snow pit could not withstand the cold, so he thought of how to find an excuse for Lu Ding to leave quickly. Moreover, their presence did not solely exist for killing; as long as they could accomplish their tasks well, they should avoid unnecessary slaughter whenever possible.
"Brother Lu is in such a hurry; are you here to deliver a message to the catapult position? Your men must be tired; if it's too much trouble, why not rest at my observation post for a while?"
Lu Ding sensed the invitation and quickly bowed in gratitude. "I have official duties at hand and cannot afford to rest just yet. Following General Huang's orders, I need to find General Sima for military communications."
Upon hearing General Sima's name, Li Xin's heart stirred. Li Mu and Sima Shang were always inseparable. Since Sima Shang was present here, then Li Mu must also be nearby! Could it be that those relentless pursuers were them? This could be troublesome!
"Is the fourth brother at the catapult position too? How come I haven't seen him?"
When it came to important matters, one had to be cautious and attentive. Lu Ding looked around before quietly revealing, "I wouldn't dare deceive you here, Third Brother; I'm afraid you brothers are about to reunite! Second Brother and Fourth Brother are together; they're nearby. You know that Elder Brother just arrived at the front lines not long ago and is currently handling the handover with the stationed troops."
Li Xin did not want to hear any more of these baseless topics and directly requested to get to the point.
Lu Ding nodded eagerly and continued to divulge, "It is said that a small group of Qin Army has appeared nearby, and it seems to be a Cavalry Unit! Sima General is following the orders of the Grand Commander and is currently searching the mountains for them to engage in battle! Brother San needs to be extra cautious here; if things get tough, we might as well apply for an Infantry Phalanx to set up defenses on the mountain. Our Flag Soldiers are the eyes of the Catapult, and if the Qin Army discovers this, it would be too dangerous!"
When mentioning the small group of Qin Army, it naturally referred to their own team. But when did they become a Cavalry? Li Xin listened quietly and suddenly felt a surge of excitement at encountering someone so knowledgeable. This general could boast enough, but it turned out you all were even more adept at it. "How do you know they are from the Qin State Cavalry? Aren't all the crossings sealed off by us? How could their Cavalry cross the river?!"
"What does that matter?!"
Hearing the tone of distrust, Lu Ding couldn't help but roll his eyes. If it weren't for you being my family's general's sworn brother, how could I possibly share such news with you!? But he dared not say this out loud and quickly cleared his throat to clarify softly, "This is really hard to believe! It is said that the current Qin State Army has invited divine beings for assistance, and they directly summoned a Rainbow Cloud to transport this Cavalry across the river!"
Divine beings... Rainbow Cloud...
Is there still some serious business here?! We clearly came over by ourselves! Li Xin didn't want to expose this matter, nodding repeatedly to indicate that seeking divine assistance was completely plausible! Otherwise, how could our rear have a Qin Army's Cavalry Unit!
Seeing that the other party finally began to believe this matter, Lu Ding continued to reinforce, "To be honest, at first, my brothers were skeptical about this news. They thought such claims were just baseless rumors! But considering the recent unpredictable weather, one can see some clues! Ever since this Cavalry Unit appeared in our rear, most of the time has been overcast. Some even claimed to have seen a Rainbow Cloud in the sky; if that isn't unusual, then nothing is normal!"
Speaking of weather issues, it has indeed been somewhat abnormal these past few days. It has mostly been cloudy, with occasional sunbreaks lasting only a short while before clouds rolled back in. Li Xin looked up at the sky that had once again lost its sun and suddenly pulled Lu Ding aside, whispering, "I have something that should only be known between us brothers. You must not tell anyone else; if word gets out, we might face accountability from our Grand Commander!"
Just looking at Li Xin's expression suggested that this matter was significant! Lu Ding hurriedly swore an oath that he would never let this secret slip to anyone else.
Li Xin nodded and quietly revealed that the rumored Qin Army Cavalry truly descended from the heavens. He had witnessed it firsthand on a nearby mountain; each one had green faces and sharp fangs like celestial soldiers! At that time, a patrol team from the Zhao Army happened to pass by the drop zone and saw a whirlwind pass through—none of them even left behind their helmets!
Upon hearing this, Lu Ding turned pale. "If what the general says is true, then they are probably not from the Qin Army Cavalry! If I am correct, they might very well be summoned celestial soldiers!"
Li Xin nodded proudly and continued to intimidate, "This matter is really hard to say! Until it's confirmed, never jump to conclusions so early! This cannot be spread; it will affect morale! Anyway, at that time, my subordinates were truly stunned; they seemed invulnerable! Our Crossbow has no effect on these heavenly soldiers!"
What one fears often comes true!
Lu Ding had already been pondering the reliability of this matter, and hearing General Li speak of what he had personally witnessed made him even more convinced. He had already made up his mind to report this to General Huang as soon as he returned to the camp. No wonder when he encountered Sima General and Li Mu that day, they advised his elder brother to leave the front lines quickly; it turned out they had also seen heavenly soldiers! This place was already a land of chaos, not suitable for staying long! After thinking this through, he did not dare to linger any longer. He hurriedly saluted Li Xin and then left in a rush with his subordinates.
