Chapter 119: Murder in the Dark (Please vote for recommendation on Monday!)
Arrows as black as ink suddenly shot out from the darkness. With the help of the cover of the dark night, the Yan soldiers who were ordered to guard the Longkou Ferry only heard the faint sounds in the darkness, and they were already shot by arrows.

"Enemy attack!"

"Run!"

"The wind is so tight!"

……

Flowers of blood burst one after another, accompanied by shrill and desperate howls. Some Yan soldiers who were less seriously injured wanted to break through the blockade of arrows and run towards the camp to report military information. However, the wolf-like and ferocious Qin army would never give them this opportunity.

have to! have to! have to!
After a rain of arrows, the cavalry suddenly appeared in the night, and rushed into the Yan army with a momentum that could destroy a copper wall and an iron fortress. As soon as the crisp sound of horse hooves rose, the bright light of iron spears, long spears, halberds and other long weapons was reflected in the eyes of the Yan soldiers who were caught off guard by the sneak attack.

puff!puff!puff!

Human heads were chopped off one after another, and as the heads fell to the ground, blood spurted out from the broken necks like fountains.

"General Tian, ​​this wooden bridge cannot bear the weight. I'm afraid our five thousand soldiers will not be able to cross the river in such a short time!"

In a flash, Tianxuan and his men wiped out hundreds of Yan soldiers stationed at Longkou Ferry. In the deep night, Tianxuan rode his mount, Huoyun, which was covered in red hair and looked like a leaping flame. A Qin army captain ordered his men to clean up the battlefield and make sure there were no survivors. He glanced at the shaky wooden bridge with his sharp eyes and said to Tianxuan.

Tianxuan looked indifferent, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

"Brothers, dismantle this wooden bridge and build a ten-foot open space under the bridge with wooden planks."

Today, the water volume of this place called Longkou Ferry is far from comparable to that in its heyday, but the water depth is still about seven feet, and the water surface is three feet wide. It has been more than ten days since Tianxuan received Wang Jian's order. During these days, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, Tianxuan dispatched hundreds or dozens of cavalrymen to leave the camp every day.

In order to cross the Yishui River safely, Tianxuan specially prepared a good thing. Tianxuan had expected the wooden bridge to be shaky, so he gave a straightforward order.

"Here."

Hearing Tianxuan's order, the cavalry gathered around him all responded in unison, rushed to the wooden bridge, and dismantled the wooden boards one by one. The sturdy Qin soldiers held the wooden boards and jumped into the freezing cold Yishui River, fixing the wooden boards in the flowing water with stones of different sizes.

Soon, an area was outlined, which seemed to be independent of the surging water, surrounded by huge amounts of water, and was tottering under the impact of the upstream river water, but stood firm for a short time.

"Everyone, get out of the water." After the platform was outlined, Tian Xuan continued to order, "Sprinkle the gray-white powder on this platform."

"Here."

No one knew what Tianxuan was doing. In the Qin army with strict military discipline, they did not need to know what Tianxuan was doing. They just had to obey. Following Tianxuan's order, everyone left Yishui. A dozen knights untied the gray-white powder in the sacks from their horses, stepped on the soft soil, and poured all the contents onto the platform.

Zizizi!
What happened next was beyond their imagination. The moment the water flow, like an angry dragon, came into contact with the gray-white powder, curls of white smoke rose. In the reflection of the bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, the water flow quickly froze, and the fish and shrimp in it had no idea what was happening, and were frozen in the ice.

In the end, even the wooden boards standing in the water were not spared and were frozen along with the ice.

Gulu!

When the Qin army soldiers saw this scene, they were all in a trance, swallowing their saliva secretly, and some even rubbed their eyeballs directly to confirm whether they were dreaming. There were also many consciously obscure fiery gazes that fell on Tianxuan, as if Tianxuan was a banished immortal.

[This is the power of saltpeter making ice! ] Tianxuan felt the gazes from the people around him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with this thought in mind.

"go!"

Making ice with saltpeter is rare, but just adding saltpeter to running water can make ice, which can be said to be extremely simple. This world is not the kind of era of foolish people, and Tianxuan is not worshipped as a living god. In a dozen breaths, an ice platform made of saltpeter, independent of Yishui, has been made.

Tianxuan pulled the reins hard and gave orders to his subordinates without thinking.

"Here."

An incredible spectacle occurred before their eyes, and all the Qin soldiers responded in unison.

have to! have to! have to!
With the help of the saltpeter prepared by Tianxuan, the five thousand cavalry easily crossed the Yishui River. The horseshoes inlaid with horseshoes landed on the ice in an orderly manner, making a crisp sound. After the five thousand troops crossed the Yishui River, they soon sank into the unfathomable darkness and were never seen again.

………………

Yandu, Jicheng.

Although the whole army of Yan State was fighting against the Qin Army on the banks of Yishui River, Jicheng City seemed to have not been affected by the war on the front line. Every night, dignitaries would go to the brothels to have fun. Today, a small incident happened.

Feixue Pavilion was built by the descendant of Zhao Wu, Xue Nu, who entered Yan State after the fall of Zhao State. Xue Nu performed Zhao Wu's unique skills in Feixue Pavilion, attracting countless Yan State dignitaries to come and support her. Xue Nu not only dances well, but also looks stunning. Although she has three thousand silver-white hairs like snow, it highlights a kind of pure and elegant beauty, just like her name - Xue Nu, like an elf born from ice and snow.

"Damn it!"

Yan Chunjun, who came with high hopes, returned disappointed.

This powerful and treacherous man from the State of Yan sat in a specially made sedan chair, followed by a large number of guards. Thinking of what had just happened in Feixue Pavilion, his face, which was extremely pale due to excessive drinking and sex, was full of anger. In Yan Chunjun's view, it was an honor for Xuenu that he had taken a fancy to her and wanted to take her as a concubine.

After all, no matter how highly the Snow Girl was praised, she was just a dancer. If she followed him, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory. Unexpectedly, his "good intentions" were not only rejected by the Snow Girl, but also a bold and daring musician was jealous of him. In public, because Feixue Pavilion was protected by Prince Dan of Yan, Yan Chunjun could not do anything too much.

Thinking about what had just happened in Feixue Pavilion, Yan Chunjun, who was used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly, still couldn't swallow this breath.

"Jueying!"

Sitting in the sedan chair, he was alone and sulking for a while. Suddenly, Yan Chunjun's pair of green bean-sized triangular eyes turned, a grim smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he called the head of the guards beside him.

"Your Majesty!"

Before Yan Chunjun finished speaking, Jueying, a famous master from Jicheng with a cold temperament, came riding a tall horse and somersaulted on the horse's back in a dashing and graceful manner and came in front of Yan Chunjun.

"Take the people with you..." Yan Chunjun leaned close to Jueying's ear and whispered. Jueying listened to Yan Chunjun's order, his expression changed several times, and finally turned into understanding.

"Please wait a moment, my lord. I'll do it right away!"
