Lei Yue Longmen

Since the riots in northern Xinjiang, most of the villages on both sides of the Zhuo River have been empty, only some old, weak, sick and disabled are left.Every time the officers and soldiers crossed the border, they came to search, and even the thatch of the roof was torn off to make a fire.Therefore, it is not easy to have such a village house that can shelter from the cold.

But the three of them didn't seem to be enthusiastic about it, and they focused on discussing matters while walking.

"I have a preliminary understanding of the camps of the Northern Frontier Army. The battalions are generally lacking in people and horses, and lack fighting spirit. However, after a long-distance raid, there is no order? There is chaos. It can be seen that there is no lack of training on weekdays. But the camp? Food and grass are almost exhausted, and the road ahead is blocked. , there will be chasing troops later, and the status quo will not last long. Tu Yuanshan's decision to fight to the death is also out of practical considerations. Once the fighting on the north bank subsides, the imperial army will overwhelm the Zhuohe River. "One of the honest? Boys said.

"Can't he cross the river?" Another young? Young? Male voice asked.

"No." Another clear female voice said: "When the bell rang last night, he would not cross the river. Because the hearts of the people have been dispersed, there is no point in crossing the river? Lan Lie rang the bell to tell him , the popularity of the Tu family that he has painstakingly managed in the north of the Zhuohe River for many years has collapsed. In other words, it did not exist at all."

"This trick really kills people without seeing it? Blood."

The three of them opened the door and entered the room while talking, and each took off their felt hats, revealing three faces that were flushed by the wind.

Everyone in the house immediately turned from surprise to joy.The man speaking Jingyin stood up first, and gave up the seat closest to the brazier for the person in charge to sit.The young general who was leaning against the wall jumped up first, pulled the bench under his butt like a dog leg, and said first: "Your Highness, sit down and warm yourself by the fire, it's cold outside, how do we go? It's been so long!"

Before Li Jingchen could answer, Yuezhong rubbed his frozen face, and smiled first: "How come Little General Zhou isn't in the barracks? Did he come here?"

Zhou Xiaoshan said: "Hey, I couldn't fall asleep all night because of the ringing of the bell in the mountain! I came here to have a look. I didn't expect His Highness to get up earlier and go before dawn? I'm surveying the terrain. It seems that I You have to work harder.”

Li Jingchen sat down beside the brazier on his chair, and everyone moved over.In the light of the fire, I rolled my hands: "It's hard for you. You have to live and eat in the mountains for a month, and you have to avoid the eyes and ears of the outside world. Are the subordinates in a good mood? Do you have any complaints?"

Zhou Xiaoshan hurriedly expressed his heart and said: "Being able to serve His Royal Highness is a minister's. There is no honor, so how can there be any complaints. To tell you the truth, I have long wanted to experience the feeling of being a bandit in the mountains. Being able to lead troops without being restrained, and being able to go hunting? Hunting in your free time, I thank Your Highness before it’s too late, it’s not difficult at all!"

The whole room? Everyone laughed.Li Jingchen said: "Okay, now? I have a task for you."

Zhou Xiaoshan hurriedly stood at attention when he heard the words, patted his chest and said, "Please speak, Your Highness."

Li Jingchen: "You have one hour to collect your soldiers and horses, and gather in the small woods in the south! Remember, you must be quiet and not attract attention."

"Don't worry, we promise to complete the task!"

"Also, you must protect your safety!"

Feeling the hand on his shoulder, Zhou Xiaoshan's soul was about to float, let alone ordering soldiers and horses, even if he died for her on the spot, he would be willing.

When everyone saw him, he fainted out of the room with hands and feet, and they were very skeptical, whether he could believe what he said.

After he left, the room returned to silence.

Li Jingxuan signaled to Yuezhong to close the doors and windows, and said in an unusually serious tone, "Is everyone here?"

Everyone in the room stood up, "Alright, Your Highness!"

"Okay, whether it is right or wrong, it's all about it, now? Start arranging tasks."

At this time, the commoner man who had been standing behind her all this time, went to the corner and moved out the broken square table, and put it firmly in front of the brazier.All the sundries on it were brushed away, leaving only an oil lamp.Then he took out a topographic map from his chest and spread it out on the table.

Everyone gathered around, see? The map has already been densely marked with many marks, even marking where the gate opens.Can't help but admire.Li Jingchen said to the man speaking in Beijing accent: "Listen carefully too, this time is urgent, I won't repeat it again, you just need to tell Mr. Gu every word of what you saw and heard, Complete the task." It turned out that the Jingyin man was a courier from the Eastern Palace, but because of the recent changes in Beijing and China, the court's courier was no longer trustworthy, so he was sent here.The man nodded and listened carefully from beginning to end.

I saw that commoner man with his palms pressed on the map like iron horses, and holding an oil lamp in the other hand, slowly patrolling above, as if there was a battlefield of gold and iron horses.

Suddenly, three circular arcs were drawn on the map, connecting them to form a semicircle, like a pot cover, holding the Northern Army on the south bank of the Zhuohe River.

"Currently, the Southwest Army has set up camp ten miles away, taking the methods of occupying high ground, occupying fortresses, blocking passes, and building earthen cities to besiege the Northern Army at the water's edge."

"If I were Tu Yuanshan, I would launch a night attack tonight. Because the longer the delay, the stronger the defense of the Southwest Army. The attack point will be in the area of ​​Shaoling." He drew a circle on Shaoling, "a It is because most of the area around here is plain, which is suitable for cavalry to charge and kill; second, the food and grass of the Southwest Army are stored here, and since it is a desperate fight, the opponent must see blood."

"And the Southwest Army's "defense point" will also be ambushed at Shaoziling. This is a contest between spears and shields. If the Southwest Army can resist the first wave of attacks from the Northern Army's exhaustion, then the battle will be over. The rest? Garbage time."

Yuezhong? He was stunned to hear him finish the story in a concise and concise manner. "What do you mean by the end? Don't fight?"

"The outcome has been decided. Whether to fight or not? The result is the same." After finishing speaking, the commoner man neatly drew four arc-shaped arrows near Shaozi Ridge, all pointing at Shaozi Ridge. "This is the last battle of the Southwest Army. Possibly? Four routes for increasing troops. If the Southwest Army learns that the opponent is going to attack Shaoziling, it will definitely increase troops to Shaoziling through these four routes."

He pressed a stone at the end of the westernmost route, "There is a thorn forest in this place, which is easy to hide, and it is far away from Shaozi Ridge, so it is not easy to be discovered. If you set up an ambush here half an hour in advance, We must be able to catch up with the reinforcements."

"This... what if they don't go this way?"

At this time, there was a sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the window, and everyone was startled. Going over to the middle of the road to look around, they saw the old man's skinny face appearing in the window timidly. , took a pack of square scarves in with a pair of dry hands, and said, "A young man came outside just now? Young, let me give this to Mr. Li."

Yue Zhong took the package and thanked his father, then closed the window and came back, handing it to Li Jingchen.Li Jingchen opened the package, and inside was a map of the distribution of troops.Unfold it quickly, put it on the side of the table for comparison, and it is almost the same as the one marked by the clothed man.In particular, the arc-shaped "pot cover array" and the "shaoziling" circled with a red pen are almost as if they were made by the same person.

"It's amazing!" Yue Zhong looked at the map, and then at Xiang?I originally thought that this guy had brute force, but I didn't expect his brain to be so good. It's a fortune-telling ability. It's a pity.

There was also a letter brought along with the distribution map of the troops. Li Jingchen opened it, glanced at it, and then informed everyone: "At three o'clock in Haishi, the Northern Xinjiang Army will launch a night attack on Shaoziling. The Southwest Army will launch a night attack on Shaoziling. The password is 'Yugong Yishan', and our password is 'Chengmen Feixue'. All military operations are under the command of General Meng." She said that General Meng was the commoner man named Meng Ran.The clothed man didn't refuse, and blew out the oil lamp, "Everyone must gather in the Thorn Forest before noon, and those who arrive late will be killed! Let's go our separate ways."

As soon as it got dark, General Meng led 5000 Northwest Army and [-] miscellaneous troops, a total of [-] troops, set off from the Thorn Forest and headed towards Shaozi Ridge.On the road, I met another team of about [-] people. Both sides did not light torches, but each saw the white scarf on the other's arm, and corrected the password: "Yugong Yishan." After confirming that it was a "friendly army", they went forward After a while, continue to march.

Zhou Xiaoshan was riding on a horse and drinking the cold wind, his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Looking back, he couldn't help sighing, "It's so fucking exciting!" Yue Zhong was also very nervous, "The one from the southwest ?The establishment is different from our boss here. Fortunately, I have stayed there with His Highness and know these routes, otherwise I must have exposed my secrets."

Zhou Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Are we now? Are we the Southwest Army now? Tell me, when we kill Cheng Gongjiang, how will he react?"

Yue Zhong? Couldn't help feeling obsessed, "He must be crazy, so why call it out? Unexpectedly, catch him off guard!"

Just at this moment, another group of troops came from the south. Their outfits were different from those of the leader of the Southwest Army. They were all dressed in silver armor, shining like fish scales in the night.The two teams stopped immediately and asked each other for the password, and the other team actually knew "Yugong Yishan".

I only heard the leader of the other team say: "So it's the brother of the Shenwu Army. It's been a long time."

Cold sweat dripped down Zhou Xiaoshan's forehead: "Damn it, it's the Shenwu Army."

This is really exciting.Being sandwiched between the Shenwu Army and the Southwest Army one after the other, every step was thrilling.

Yue Zhong?: "It's over, I'm so nervous that my nose bleeds."

Zhou Xiaoshan: "Me too."

The two looked at the man surnamed Meng in front of him, still raised his head and chest, and moved forward with high spirits, admiring: "What a strong man."

When they arrived at Shaozi Ridge, each team had to deploy defenses on the top of the hill according to the prior plan.There are more than a dozen hillsides in this Shaozi Ridge, but the distribution is very scattered. The farthest ones are separated by one or two miles, but the closest ones are not connected.

When they arrived, it was already a quarter of the hour of Hai, and there were only two quarters of an hour left before the Northern Xinjiang Army launched a night attack, so they occupied a slope first, and the team behind them automatically occupied the next slope, one after another. The reinforcements? Soldiers and horses moved east one by one, but no one found the problem.

Until the Shenwu Army turned around and came to their slope.

"I'm sorry, the Pioneer Battalion misremembered the location. There are already people on the previous slope. This slope should have been stationed by us?"

The leader of the Shenwu Army negotiated with the man surnamed Meng.

Only then did Zhou Xiaoshan realize that it wasn't that the people behind were confused and didn't notice the problem, but that the people in front did something stupid.They made a mistake, but it helped them a lot.The front team thought they had made mistakes first, which led to the "sequential mistakes" of the follow-up team, while the back team stayed on the slope in the normal order, and didn't find out the tricks at all.

Didn't expect this batch of Shenwu troops to be so unreliable and make such low-level mistakes?

This luck is absolutely amazing, how much evil has been accumulated in the previous life to be able to step on shit luck at such a critical moment?

Sure enough, the man surnamed Meng didn't waste the opportunity. He suggested that the two armies should be stationed on the same slope because of the lack of time. Unexpectedly, the other party also agreed.

Yuezhong couldn't help complaining: "These people are so stupid, they didn't even find out about this!"

"Who are you talking about being stupid?" At this time, a general who was speaking in a Beijing accent and fluent? The general approached from the side.How glaring? How glaring is the glaring? Shenwuming? Light Armor that is all over the body dangling in front of his eyes. It looks like he is still a high-ranking general.

There was a bang in Yuezhong's head, and he was so frightened that he was dumbfounded, wishing he could wipe his neck on the spot and die in place.When did this guy come here??Why is it like a ghost? No sound came out.This is miserable, so don't reveal your secrets.

But he came here for whatever he was afraid of, and the general stopped in front of him, "I see, why do you look familiar, unlike the Southwest Army?"

Etsuchu stopped breathing, and slowly put his hand on his waist knife.It's just that before he could make a move, a figure stepped forward and grabbed the man, pulled a green onion from the dry land and put it down, grabbed a handful of soil and stuffed it into his mouth, covering his mouth with one hand and choking his neck with the other.

Yuezhong? I was stunned.

"What are you waiting for, finish him quickly." Zhou Xiaoshan roared in a low voice.

The two dragged him to a small corner where no one saw him. Just as they were about to make a move, the man raised his leg and kicked Zhou Xiaoshan on the back, kicking him forward and almost rolling over. downhill.

The man then hit a carp? He squatted up, and he had to spit out "噗噗噗" with his mouth full of sand, "I say you two, it's too shameful!"

It's okay, Yue Zhong didn't care about anything else, he drew his knife and slashed, Zhou Xiaoshan got up again, and a fierce tiger stepped forward, entangled him like an octopus, and he had to be killed on the spot.

"I rely on it, I rely on it, I rely on it!" The man was terrified by the torment, and suddenly raised his neck and yelled: "Chengmen Feixue!! Chengmen Feixue!!"

But it was a pity that it was too late. With a cry of "Yuan!", Zhou Xiaoshan's brick hit his helmet, knocking him unconscious.

The knife that Yue Zhong was about to stab stopped within a finger's distance of his heart. Looking at the fallen man on the slope, he asked Zhou Xiaoshan dumbly, "What did he just say? Chengmen Feixue?"

The two looked at each other, "Fuck, it's our own!"

The man surnamed Meng came over when he heard the movement, and when he saw this scene, he was taken aback and quickly knelt down to be pinched.

Zhou Xiaoshan felt that he had gotten into trouble, so he got up and walked away quickly.After a long time, that person seemed to be drowning, and he woke up with an "oh", and his soul, which had been on the ground for a long time, got up and wanted to fight with those two people!Fortunately, the surnamed Meng? stopped him, "Don't blame Little General Cui, don't blame, they don't know, time is urgent, it's important to get down to business."

The two of them stared dumbfounded at the half-lived? Yingzi being moved away by Meng?They all expressed shock, surprise, and disbelief.

Yue Zhong?: "I'm... really my own. If His Highness finds out, we will have to be stripped alive."

Zhou Xiaoshan said unconvinced: "We can't blame us for this matter, who made him come out suddenly like a bastard. This kind of person owes a lesson!"

Yue Zhong nodded, and regained some confidence: "That's right. Speaking of which, how could there be someone of our own in the Shenwu Army?"

Zhou Xiaoshan pinched his chin: "Even if you don't know, I don't even know. But this scene is getting more and more lively!"

"A play? It turned out to be a play!" Yuezhong suddenly realized that from receiving the map, to encountering on the way of reinforcements, and then to the Shenwu army's misjudgment of the location, they successfully stationed on the slope.I thought it was luck from the sky, but it turned out that it was planned from beginning to end, and there was an invisible hand helping them to insert into the Southwest Army smoothly.Thinking of this, Yuezhong couldn't help being shocked and confident in completing this task.

At this moment, there was a sound like a muffled drum coming from the opposite side of the hillside.

"The enemy army is coming! Pay attention to concealment!"

The infantry are all lying on the hillside, while the cavalry are all in ambush behind the hillside.

Yue Zhong lay on the ground and listened for a while, "Why is the sound of horseshoes so dull?"

Zhou Xiaoshan was very knowledgeable and said authentically: "Since it is a night attack, of course we must wrap the horse's hooves with footcloths. Just in case the enemy finds out in advance?"

As the black shadow approached, the sound of hooves could no longer be concealed.It seems that there are tens of thousands of women making the sound of "beating clothes" at the same time.

Suddenly a majestic sound of a horn pierced the night sky, and the originally dark and quiet shadow seemed to be boiled, rushing towards the camp of the Southwest Army with great momentum.

Shouting to kill and shaking the sky for a while!

Rumbling? The sound of horseshoes, flooding into Shaozi Ridge like a tide.Zhou Xiaoshan felt that he was pressed against the ground? His chest was about to be shaken.

One hundred thousand iron hooves shouted at the same time!The mountains shake and the ground shakes, and a corner of the sky collapses!Thinking that the Yin soldiers appeared in the world, it was nothing more than that!

If it weren't for the Southwest Army's main force withdrawing to the south of the hill ahead of time, the barracks would have been bloody and bloody already.
