Chapter 426
After hearing Zhaoyue's words, Yue Qiyun also looked into the distance. However, her eyesight was limited after all, and she could not see clearly at Zhaoyue. Apart from seeing snowflakes like thick fog in the distance, she could not even see her personal figure.
"It seems that the war ahead is a fierce battle, with at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops on both sides." Zhaoyue's ears moved slightly and stepped on the ground uneasy. "That is the place we must pass when we go back to the Flame King Court. Should we bypass or retreat to the mountains to avoid it for a while?"
"The situation is unknown, stop and take a look." After saying that, she placed her thumb and index finger between her lips and teeth, and made a loud bell and whistle, which penetrated the clouds and circled above their heads.
"Zhunyun, go and see what's going on ahead." Yue Qiyun pointed to the increasingly noisy distance and ordered Chuanyun. The eagle crow sounded, and the black sea east green wings spread and flew towards the noisy battlefield.
At this time, Yuan Lie and his cavalry of the Flame tribe were fighting hard against the Naiman army several times his own.
Not long ago, the Naiman said that the little prince of the Flame Clan who had been missing for a long time was captured by the Naiman. The news reached the Hulun Grassland, and Yuan Lie was extremely anxious. Although he knew that he was a fraud, he could only take the risk and hurriedly took the elite of the Flame Clan to the territory of the Naiman.
As expected, the army was surrounded by the Naiman army as soon as it approached Su Yajiang. The Naimans, who were several times more than the Flame Army, surrounded Yuan Lie from three sides, leaving only a retreat to the Wulong swamp. In desperation, Yuan Lie had to break through the only gap while fighting.
After a few rounds, the cavalry of the Flame tribe was forced to the edge of the Oolong swamp by Moganda.
"Khan, we can't move forward anymore!" Yuan Shiro's blood-stained battle robe, pointing to the swamp that was close to him. "The Wolong swamp is only more than a hundred miles away. If the army enters the swamp, our men will fall into the mud, and there will be more casualties than fighting with the Naimans."
How could Yuan Lie not know the difficulties? But how could he be willing to return without success if he cares about his son's safety?
Looking around the surrounding terrain, he decisively pointed to the mountains ahead and ordered: "Snatch the high ground, and then plan after the army rested."
After learning from the lessons from the previous time, Yuan Lie did not dare to go out again, but asked Zuo Xian Wang Yuanrui to stay in the royal court, and he only brought half of his troops out. Unexpectedly, Moganda summoned all the young and strong men of the Naiman tribe, opened his pockets early, and just waited for them to get in.
"Yes!" Yuan Shiro turned his horse's head and went back to convey the Khan's military order to several thousand households.
The horse's hooves rumbled, and the flaming cavalry in leather armor were like a black torrent, breaking through the fragile defense line blocking the Nai barbarian cavalry in front and galloping towards the mountain.
In the lofty sky, a strong figure hovered over the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and saw everything below.
"Oh? Why did Yuan Lie run to the Naiman territory?" After hearing the news brought back by Chuanyun, Yue Qiyun's heart suddenly sank! She remembered the countless nightmares she had had, and couldn't help but worry about her son's safety.
"Chuanyun, and explore the movements of the Naibar army again, you must see clearly. Every camp in Naibar tribe must find my son!"
Yuan Lie's actions forced Yue Qiyun to suspect that the battle between the Fiery Man and the Naiman could not be related to his son.
The scenes in the nightmare passed by her eyes one by one. She clenched her fists slightly and looked at the Fiery Clan cavalry at the foot of the mountain that was getting closer and closer to her, with a dip in her face.
Run'er, something must have happened! And it must have something to do with the Naiman people.
If the Naiman tribe really dares to bully their son, she wouldn't mind killing all the Naiman royal tribe! Anyway, she has already carried countless names of the Song royal family, and she doesn't care if there are hundreds of lives on her body!
She still adheres to the saying: If someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone does not offend me, I will kill the roots!
"Zhaoyue, go down the mountain from the other side and avoid all the troops." Yue Qiyun slapped his horse's head, and Zhaoyue obediently swept down towards the hillside on the other side.
"Then Yuan Lie has helped you no matter how much he said. If it weren't for his troops surrounding Hangu Pass, we wouldn't have made such a smooth progress in Bianjing City. Now he is deeply trapped in heavy troops, so don't you want to help him?" Zhaoyue was a little confused about her master's behavior. The two of them were about to get together, so why did she avoid it?
"I'm not coming back to save him. I can do anything before I see my son." Yue Qiyun looked back at the flying snow and dust on the hillside on the other side, as well as the Naiman army that was biting tightly behind the Flame tribe army. She shook her head decisively.
"We only have one man and one horse. What is the use of this army of tens of thousands of people? What can we do to Yuan Lie? It's better to go back to the Flame Court to report the message. The arrival of reinforcements is much more effective than ours!"
Yuan Lie was commanding his soldiers, fighting in front and behind, but he didn't notice that the flash of one person and one horse was gone, not far from him.
According to her sensitive feeling, Zhaoyue rushed down the mountain quickly against the edge of the two stalemates. After rushing to the plain, Chuanyun had already checked the entire Naiman army and circled above her head.
"The Naiman army came out in full swing, and there were not many people in almost all the settlements. The royal court was even more empty, with only some old, weak, women and children left." In just a moment, Chuanyun had already patrolized the entire Naiman territory.
"Where is Run'er in the Naiman army?" Yue Qiyun only thought of finding her son as soon as possible. During the war between the two armies, a child would not be mixed. If his son was not in the Flame Court, he would definitely be hidden in the Naiman court!
Chuanyun did not see Run'er's traces. Yue Qiyun stopped Zhaoyue and looked at the direction of the Naiman King's Court, thinking about something.
After thinking for a while, she had a bold idea: Since the Naiman tribe could invade a large-scale invasion while the Flame Court was empty, she could also go to the empty Naiman royal court. And she also suspected that her son should have been captured by the Naiman people and hid in the Naiman royal court.
After all, she is the concubine of the Flame Clan. Yuan Lie can bear it, but she can't bear it!
"Zhaoyue, let's go to the Naiman Royal Court!" After making up his mind, he immediately ordered Zhaoyue. The left and right also went back to the Hulun Grassland. The Naiman Royal Court was only more than a hundred miles away from the nearest road. According to Zhaoyue's degree, it took only a few hours to go back and forth.
"小--!" Zhaoyue sang a long neigh, and her four hooves ran towards the direction of the Naiman royal court like an enclave, leaving the fiercely fighting two people behind her far behind.
