Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 23 Lightning, smooth! 【Tickets】

At noon, the sun sheds thousands of golden rays.

Xiao Ying never imagined that there would be a cavalry that would rush from Chang'an to Lujiang in just two days, and the combat power could still be kept so vigorous without any fatigue.

He joined the team after Huo Qubing and others entered Lujiang County, and now he is in charge of leading the way to the enemy's nest.

"Zonghengdao has two locations in Lujiang County. One is in the largest city of Lujiang. The people in Zonghengdao hide their identities. On the surface, they are ship merchants traveling by river. In fact, they are the eyeliner of Zonghengdao in the city. Cover, and deliver various materials and supplies to the vertical and horizontal roads halfway.

We just followed this line and reached the hidden place of the vertical and horizontal road. "

Xiao Ying was also riding on the same horse, and it was very difficult to follow: "They opened a dojo in the mountains and fields, and the location was hidden, and they established a small settlement."

Huo Qubing hummed.

Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Huo Shizhong, after my observations these past few days, the hidden power of the Zongheng Road is not weak, even though the settlement is deep in the mountains.

But there are at least a thousand people, and most of them have practiced.

They have been dormant for many years and have accumulated a strong force. "

He and Song Ran have the same worries, worrying that Huo Qubing is too conceited and insufficiently prepared, he will kill him with only 200 people, if he rushes thousands of miles, but loses to his opponent in the end, the consequences can be imagined.

"Has Huo Shizhong ever considered asking the local garrison to send troops together?" Xiao Ying suggested.

"You just said that according to some signs, Zonghengdao has been hiding in Lujiang for several years. Since it has been so long, why did the local officials not find it? How do you know that they have no problem?"

Huo Qubing slowed down the speed of the horse a little, and the team behind him followed suit and adjusted their speed accordingly.

He knew that Xiao Ying was worried that he would be overjoyed, and if he underestimated the enemy and lost, it would be a devastating blow to his reputation.

But Huo Qubing didn't explain it. Riding forward, the steed under his crotch showed unimaginable flexibility in the mountains and fields. Although he was off the official road and the road conditions were bad, his speed was not affected much.

Under his leadership, the whole team rushed straight into Lujiang County, a stretch of mountains and rivers.

"It's almost here, and there are dozens of miles to the hidden place of the Zonghengdao...their secret sentry is ahead, and we can send scouts to solve it secretly."

As soon as Xiao Ying finished speaking, he suddenly saw the scout at the front of the team take out a bronze whistle, put it in his mouth and play it, making a very low-frequency tremor.

In a short while, two figures jumped out of the forest in front, moving vigorously like apes.

"Huo Shizhong!"

The two figures that appeared came closer: "The other party has about [-] people. They used the mountain to form a natural barrier and built a small city.

The small town was originally a mountain village rebuilt. Among the more than [-] people, there are more than [-] ordinary congregants, most of whom are practitioners, and there are more than a hundred female relatives... The secret sentinel arranged by the other party here has been resolved. "

Xiao Ying also probed the news very clearly.

To his surprise, Huo Qubing had other arrangements besides relying on their secret investigation information system.

These two people in front of them are obviously military scouts. When did they enter Lujiang County and come here in disguise to investigate?

Well, it should be the first time I heard from me, that the location of Zongheng Road in Lujiang County was confirmed, and Huo Shizhong arranged for them to come here... Xiao Ying's thoughts fluctuated.

The sun is in full swing.

Huo Qubing waved his hand forward, and the whole team continued to charge forward.

At this moment, more than ten miles away from Huo Qubing and others in the southeast direction, there is a small city built on the mountain, with a majestic momentum and a high mountain.

This mountain city is protected by the mountain, and there is only one gate for entering and exiting, and the other three sides are steep.

Looking from a distance, the mountain city is bustling with people coming and going, and there are many people, and there are people watching from high places, and the defense is very strict.

"I received news the day before yesterday that cavalry from the Chang'an Guards were marching southeast. I was told to be careful. How is the arrangement for the two days of investigation and deployment?"

In the depths of the mountain city, in a cave built by excavating the mountain, a deep and deep voice came out.

In the hall, the ground is covered with animal skins, and there are burning candles on both sides.

Sitting on the animal skin is a group of senior officials including the two vice popes under the jurisdiction of Zonghengdao.

An old man with normal body shape, fair skin and dark brown clothes said:
"I was the first to receive the news the day before yesterday. After two days of investigation, I did not find any trace of the cavalry along the way from Chang'an to our Lujiang River."

The old man who spoke was very imposing, with a rigid face, and he was the vice suzerain Ji Ran of the Zonghengdao.

He added: "Even if they really come, there are only 200 people, and my subordinates can defeat them."

"What the deputy sect said is that if the opponent really comes, we might as well take the initiative to meet it. We can set up an ambush halfway to intercept them, and we will definitely be able to surprise them and make them suffer a disastrous defeat."

Standing beside Deputy Zong Jiran was a strong man, Tang Maoshan, the 'brave general' who guarded the gate of Zonghengdao:

"At that time, whether to capture or kill, it is up to us."

"Counting the time, if the other party comes, can he arrive tomorrow?" The pope's voice echoed in the stone hall, but he could not see where the person was.

"Yes, tomorrow will be the soonest." Ji Ran replied.

"It's better to be cautious. The director of my vertical and horizontal road is not fighting. If I confront him, I will suffer heavy losses. Send a team to guard the mountain pass and keep an eye out for changes." The voice of the pope.

……

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

From the perspective of Liu Che and others, the speed and integrity of Huo Qubing's team is amazing. Even the horses are disciplined and there is no noise at all.

At this time, the picture on the Sheji map changes, showing the location of the mountain city where the vertical and horizontal roads are located.

"Huo Qubing brought a team of elite cavalry, traveling thousands of miles, just for this small town hidden in the mountains?" Princess Pingyang said aloud after watching from the sidelines for a long time.

Liu Che said with a smile: "Qu Bing actually wants to take this opportunity to train soldiers and go out for activities.

In my opinion, if it weren't for the rare opportunity to train soldiers, it would be difficult to arouse his interest in dealing with such a small city. "

Taichang Zhou Ping gave Zhang Xiaoyuan a wink, meaning to let him seize the opportunity to show himself.

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at the pictures in the map of Sheji, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have also practiced military strategies, and I know the essentials of observing the situation of soldiers, terrain, yin and yang, and oddness."

"Then let's talk about it. Qu Bing led his troops to raid the Zonghengdao mountain gate. What kind of strategy should we adopt to attack?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought about it for a while, and replied: "There is a saying in the book of war that it is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as intrusive as the fire, as immovable as a mountain, as difficult to know as the cloud, and as moving as the thunderclap; discourse."

"Huo Shizhong led the troops to move quickly, and the formation of the team did not disperse at all. The speed of the march was amazing. It was obvious that he had used the art of the military formation, and the aura was in harmony. It should be praised as fast as the wind."

Liu Che nodded slightly, he was right.

Taichang and the others also nodded, looking at Zhang Xiaoyuan with anticipation and encouragement, asking him to continue.

Zhang Xiaoyuan became a little excited, and talked eloquently:

"However, I see that although the opponent's city is small, it is built according to the mountain. This is the strategy of the military strategist and occupies a favorable location.

Huo Shizhong commanded two hundred troops and ran for thousands of miles, but a rough look at the opponent's city shows that the number of people should be more than a thousand, and they wait for work with ease. "

Liu Che smiled and said, "If that's the case, in your opinion, the opponent has even occupied the land and the people are harmonious. Isn't Qubing already defeated without a fight?"

In the Sheji map, Huo Qubing had already approached the mountain city, and his speed increased suddenly. He actually chose to go straight to the mountain city without stagnation and adjustment, just like a bayonet, suddenly showing its sharpness!
The two hundred cavalry behind him seemed to turn into a torrent, sweeping away all opponents who dared to stand in front of them.

A Han army galloped, took out a red pill from the skin pouch, put it in the horse's mouth and swallowed it.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be a kind of fog around the team headed by Huo Qubing, which is getting thicker and thicker, wrapping them in the fog.

The wind blows.

In the mountain city, the sentries of the Zongheng Road watched from a distance and found the traces of the Han army, and immediately issued an alarm after being horrified.

In the entire mountain city, the atmosphere suddenly became chilling.

"Huo Shizhong might have underestimated his opponent, and rushed forward without even adjusting, how could he know that the opponent wasn't in ambush?

I used the Confucian method of observing qi, and there was a faint aura in the mountain city, probably because the other party had hidden defensive means. "

Zhang Xiaoyuan secretly rejoiced, thinking to himself that God helped me, this Huo Qubing made the mistake of being arrogant and sure to lose.

He was also very scheming, he didn't say that Huo Qubing was going to be defeated, he just pointed out that it was unwise for Huo Qubing to lead his troops straight to the opponent.

Don't talk to death, leaving room for maneuver.But the meaning is clear, Huo Qubing violated the big taboo of military strategists, he went on an expedition by himself, and dared to attack an opponent with a geographical advantage without making adjustments, and the possibility of losing was extremely high.

Princess Pingyang nodded slightly after hearing Zhang Xiaoyuan's analysis, and said approvingly:

"It seems that Xiao Yuan is really familiar with military affairs."

At this moment, beside Huo Qubing in the screen, Xiong San who was originally sitting on horseback and accompanying him all the way suddenly breathed in, and his face instantly turned purple.

The length of her inhalation was astonishing.

And as she inhaled, her figure seemed to slowly grow larger, like a black bear.

Xiong San finally stopped breathing, and jumped off his horse, brazenly rushing towards the Zonghengdao mountain gate on the opposite side.

In the short-distance charge, Xiong San galloped with all his strength, not weaker than a galloping horse, and kept pace with the cavalry in the front row.

The whole team was as fast as a bolt of lightning, attacking the opponent as smoothly as silk!

At the same time, a big bird landed on a tree on the side of the mountain and looked towards the battlefield.
