Chapter 45: Battle in the Falling Canyon (3)
After a while, the people in the valley gathered in the open space, and the clouds were filled with sorrow, just like a memorial service held on the playground in later generations.
Yang Xiao estimated that about half of the elderly, weak women and children were present, which means that there were only about 1,500 people in the prime of fighting. I really don’t know what the prince and Mr. Qin had at that time. Did he want to build a small kingdom in this barren mountain after being seized?
Seeing the elderly, weak women and children in the audience, Yang Xiao frowned. How could he not get out of the mountains in just two days after retreating! However, those young people holding weapons and showing fierce eyes and showing fierce figures made Yang Xiao's tight heart slightly relax.
At the gathering, Yang Xiao asked Qin Xiaoxiao the names of the old man and the four leading generals.
The old man named Guo Yinyi, ten years ago, was a counselor of the Prince's Mansion and was now in charge of all the important matters of the canyon. According to the organization of the Imperial Guard, four deputy guards were divided into Hu Yiyang, Li Qi, Chen Qiang and Liu Xiongwei, the scout guard.
The scout Duwei Liu Xiongwei sent people out early, and a hundred scouts were scattered within ten miles of the surrounding area.
There are only ten small boats in the Rock Canyon Cave. Each boat is calculated as ten people, and it takes 60 times to go back and forth. Each time, it takes one incense stick. It seems that it takes one day and one night to leave the cave. If you don’t count the time you are in the mountains, will King Long give so much time?
After a stick of incense, a team of scouts came back, bringing bad news. Outside, there were three or four hundred men in black holding bows and arrows coming towards this side. It seemed that there was no time to leave the valley! Now, there is only one war first.
Guo Yinyi said to Li Qi next to him with a serious expression: "Li Zi, this time, you will immediately lead your troops to attack Liu Duwei from the front and back for the vanguard. Don't annihilate these people.
The Duwei, who was named Li Zi, was the bearded man Li Qi who accompanied Yang Xiao to browse the canyon.
Li Qi shouted loudly, "I will take the order!" He said that, and he clasped his fists and led No. 300 people to the cave port.
When he heard the scout talk about the man in black, Yang Xiao remembered the men in black in the ancient woods last night. It seemed that they were all from King Long, and there were probably not many.
The regular imperial guards should be like the soldiers brought by Chen Jian. Yang Xiao was not familiar with others. Seeing that the only man who talked to him was about to leave, he hurried forward to Guo Yinyi and said, "Mr. Guo, I want to go with General Li. I have seen those men in black several times!"
Guo Yinyi was already full of joy. Seeing him volunteering, he quickly called Li Qi back and said, "Li Zi, this Master Yang is a Taoist practitioner and has great magic. Please listen to his opinions more!"
"Yes! Sir"
Seeing Yang Xiao going out to fight for himself, Qin Xiaoxiao walked up with a worried look on her face and said softly: "Young Master Yang! Be careful yourself. You can leave, but I have implicated you!"
When he came to Da Sui for the first time, Yang Xiao was already excited at this time. Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao caring about him so much, his heart warmed up and he had already recovered his nature.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, who else can you and I share with each other? When I go out this time, I will scold the Liu family's gate and burn it for Famingsi as firewood!" Yang Xiao whispered in her ear with a smile.
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little hot, and she lowered her head in shame. When she raised her head, Yang Xiao had already walked away.

After leaving the cave and waiting for another incense stick, all Li Qi's troops came out.
Three hundred woodcutters dressed as men in their thirties. They were trained by the Imperial Guards and often followed Qin Wanchang to the ancient silk road. They had already developed a bronze and iron bones, and they should be more than enough to deal with those men in black.
Outside the canyon is a slender valley, and the stream winds along the valley.
While waiting for someone, Li Qi and Yang Xiao had already reached an agreement, which was to choose a suitable place in the woods on both sides to ambush and carry out sneak attacks.
After walking for half a stick of incense, the scouts in front of him paid a reward, and the man in black rested not far away.
It seemed that there was no need to rush forward anymore. The two discussed ambushing the spot. Li Qi ordered the scout to ask Liu Duwei to arrive here as soon as possible to form a siege.
Li Qi waved his right hand, and the No. 300 people quickly entered the forest with a sword and hid it. The movement was neat and fast, which made Yang Xiao nodded. However, seeing their way of hiding in the forest, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Yang Xiao’s vision in the future was full of loopholes. The figures of these people walking on the path were vaguely visible, especially the reflections on the Modao, which basically could not achieve the purpose of sneak attack.
"Li Duwei, are you just hiding like this?"
"Well, is there anything wrong?" Li Qi asked in confusion. This is how the Imperial Guards practiced during training.
Yang Xiao pointed to the reflective Modao, and still the faintly visible Yi Peng smiled and said, "You can see clearly in these things. How can you achieve the purpose of sneak attack?"
Li Qi frowned. They had learned to hide like this when they entered the Imperial Guard. Is there any other way? When they suddenly remembered this, Lord Guo ordered to discuss with the young monk in front of him.
"Shifu Yang, what do you think you should do?" Li Qi asked humbly for advice.
Thinking of the jungle disguise in later generations, Yang Xiao sighed: "It's not time to explain in detail now. The most important thing at the moment is to make these strange knives black and hide the corners of their clothes!"
"What's going on?" Li Qi asked in confusion.
Yang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, you ask them all to come out first, let's have a simple disguise."
Li Qi nodded and made a gesture to both sides. The men ran out in confusion.
"Brother Li, what?" a man asked in confusion.
Li Qi said seriously: "This is the Duwei Counselor whom Lord Guo just appointed. Please listen to him carefully!"
Yang Xiao stood up and shouted: "Brothers, your hidden effect is not very good, it is easy to be discovered by others. Now I will teach you a simple method. Have you ever seen color-changing insects in the woods?"
Those people were well-trained and shouted together: "See you!"
Yang Xiao was shocked and said with a giggle: "Don't have to be so loud now, so as not to be discovered by them. This method will not work!"
These people couldn't help laughing when they saw that the new consultant had a weird appearance, but they spoke in kindly and smiled.
"My method is very simple, which is to learn from the color-changing insect to turn into a tree, a pile of soil or a stone. Of course, how it becomes more like it will be studied later."
"What are you doing now?" someone asked in surprise.
Yang smiled and said, "At present, you have to do this. Each of you is wet and rolled on the grass."
Seeing their eyes confused, Yang smiled and said, "You see, I will do it again."
Yang Xiao put his monk's robe into the water and wet his whole body, then ran into the woods and rolled in the shade of a mud, covering his hair and face with mud.
When he came out, everyone was shocked. It didn't look like a person, but it looked like a monster, covered with leaves and mud. Only those eyes were black and lively, and you could see that it was a person.
Looking at them in a daze, Yang smiled and said, "How about it, if I lay in the woods, will you find out?"
As soon as the words finished, a burst of applause broke out and everyone looked admiring.
Li Qi was also impressed: "Master Yang's method is so amazing. Brothers, everyone, prepare quickly."
The wisdom of the masses is infinite. Yang Xiao just reminds him to look like a reminder, but such a man is also clever and clever. Some people still wear straw hats on their heads like later generations, and some people can penetrate small branches all over their bodies, and even those strange knives are covered with mud...
Li Qi was amazed after hiding this again, and Yang Xiao was quite satisfied. Although he could not compare with later generations, it was more than enough to deceive those Erlangzi who only knew how to wear black clothes.

It seems that it is not on the board. Please collect it more. The following chapters are all about the plot of the war, which is probably a bit bloody.
