Chapter Ninety-Three: A Prairie Tiger, Unfortunately, It's Not Enough to Kill
"Eighty percent strength?" Li Jixuan's face showed surprise: "Your Majesty really deserves to be the pinnacle of cultivation masters in the world, Li Jixuan's full strength, Your Majesty is only eight points of strength, Li Jixuan admires it to the extreme!"
The words are flattering and humble, in fact, they are triumphant, my old Li's knife can faintly catch up with His Majesty's eight-point strength, it can be seen that the so-called great master of cultivation is nothing more than that, my old Li is not 108,000 miles away from the peak master, the current Emperor His Majesty should not let the deputy general of the time not be cold, the former deputy general was still in the Zhenbei Army, Li Jixuan once intended to ask for advice or two, and the deputy general refused at that time, Li Jixuan already had doubts, thinking that the gap between the two was too big, and the deputy general was disdainful, it turned out that the deputy general had a good face, and he didn't want to lose the face of the peak masterγ
Li Yuanying smiled faintly, didn't say much, and continued to drive the horse forward, and then the people caught up, Li Jixuan, Qin Han, and Duan Yanhao walked side by side.
The left vanguard of the Zhenbei Army laughed: "Lao Qin, Lao Duan, did you hear it, my old Li's knife, Your Majesty has to use eight points of force, do you say that I am powerful? What is the so-called Hun God of War Tuoba Longye, the grassland tiger Hao Lian Bobo, maybe one point stronger than my Lao Li, but not much stronger, when they meet, watch me Lao Li cut out with a knife, let them know that it is powerful!"
"Virtue!" Qin Han scolded, widening the distance between him and Li Jixuan: "In order to show off, with all his strength, the tiger's mouth is bleeding, be careful that before you reach Wuchuan Town, you will lose too much blood and die." β
"Hehe, Lao Qin, you are envious, jealous, jealous, jealous of my old Li martial arts. Li Jixuan grabbed the blood on the tiger's mouth in the palm of his hand, and followed the groom.
Six thousand men and horses rushed overnight, heavy rain poured, can no longer distinguish the time according to the stars, can only judge the sky according to the slightly lit sky, as for the hour, it needs to be judged according to the place of march, Duan Yanhao, as the think tank of the Zhenbei Army, is very familiar with the land of the Central Plains, mountains, rivers, The city is well understood, knows the location, knows the speed of the march, and can naturally reverse the time, this time the north deliberately chose to march away from the city, on the one hand, you can avoid the grassland cavalry scattered all over the Central Plains, on the other hand, you can also hide the marching route, reduce the disturbance of the people.
Taking advantage of the faint light, Duan Yanhao squinted his eyes and looked ahead, his heart moved, and finally arrived here, drove his horse forward quickly, until he was half a body behind Li Yuanying, and said: "Your Majesty, you will reach Shenyong Pass in front, pass through this checkpoint, and go straight north for fifty miles to Wuchuan Town." β
Li Yuanying nodded and asked, "How long is the Shenyong Pass?"
Duan Yanhao opened his mouth and replied: "The front and back are five miles long, and the cliffs on both sides are steep, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Zhenxi Army is to take Xueyong Pass as a checkpoint, advance to the east for fifty miles, is Xueyong City, relying on Xueyong Pass, forming a checkpoint, a defensive formation of the first line of the city, and the Zhenbei Army is just the opposite, first of all, Wuchuan Town, fifty miles to the south is Shenyong Pass, forming a defensive formation of the city and checkpoints, starting from Shenyong Pass, the hills are gradually increasing, the rivers are becoming denser, and the grassland cavalry has less and less room to exert themselves......"
In the process of explanation, he has come to the front of Shenyong Pass, taking advantage of the faint morning light, Li Yuanying can vaguely see the landform of Shenyong Pass, although it is not as strange and dangerous as Xueyong Pass, but Shenyong Pass is long and narrow, a valley that stretches for five miles crisscrosses it, with cliffs on both sides, strange rocks, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"General Duan, based on your experience, will the enemy set up an ambush here?" Li Yuanying tightened the reins of his horse and asked.
Duan Yanhao said: "If it is a weekday, the Huns will definitely be heavily guarded here, but in rainy weather, the cliffs on both sides often loosen the rocks and the sand and gravel roll down, so Weichen guessed that the grassland will not set up ambushes here, and if you want to set up ambushes, it will also be on the other side of the valley." β
Li Yuanying knew in his heart: "How long will it take for six thousand men and horses to march through the valley at the fastest marching speed?"
I don't know when, Kou Zhongyuan caught up, turned over and dismounted, attached to the ground, dug a three-foot-deep mud pit with his bare hands, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, kept rubbing it in his hand, and when there was a trace of soil left in his hand, he licked the soil into his stomach with his tongue and chewed it slowly.
The corners of Li Yuanying's mouth twitched, and she wanted to eat the dirt, how dirty it was.
Kou Zhongyuan spit out the soil, and sighed twice: "I advise you, or don't pass through the valley well, the land here is soft, the mountain rocks are seriously weathered, after days of heavy rain, it is very easy to appear mountain rock collapse, mudflow landslide phenomenon, no need to promote external force, horse neighing or horse hooves landing, may cause disaster, the consequences must be unimaginable." The Xiongnu steppes did not set up ambushes on cliffs, partly because of the danger, and partly because no army was expected to cross the valley. β
Duan Yanhao nodded at Li Yuanying, agreeing with the judgment of this Western Chu leader.
Li Yuanying opened his mouth and asked, "How long will it take to bypass the Divine Warrior Valley?"
Duan Yanhao had a detailed map of the Central Plains in his mind, he thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, if you bypass Shenyong Valley, it will take about a day and a night without encountering grassland stragglers, and if there are still variables, it may take even more time. β
"Hmph, isn't it just a valley, I Lao Li suggested going through it directly, if there is really a mudslide, it is also fate, we are soldiers, we can't be afraid of death!" Li Jixuan shouted.
"Li Jixuan, shut your stinky mouth! Your Majesty is here, where is your turn to make decisions!" Duan Yanhao scolded loudly.
Li Yuanying rode to the front of Shenyong Valley, looked at the surrounding terrain, and knocked the fingers of her left hand on the back of her right hand: "According to what General Li said, the army will do a good job of protection, pass through Shenyong Valley, and reach Wuchuan Town at the fastest speed." β
Qin Han was slightly stunned, sighed faintly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, marching and fighting is not a matter of luck, this Shenyong Valley may not collapse, but if it collapses, the six thousand Zhenbei Army will ......."
Li Yuanying turned her head and showed a bright smile: "General Qin, rest assured, I will not let a single soldier of the Zhenbei Army be lost at Shenyong Pass, General Qin can just give an order." β
Qin Han lowered his head and was silent for a moment, drove his horse to give an order, with his thoughts, even if he wanted to delay time and damage people and horses, he should also put safety first, the lives of the six thousand good men in the Central Plains should be killed on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded should not die in natural and man-made disasters, but since His Majesty the Emperor gave the order, he followed it, and the worst was to die in the valley with his brothers.
After the order was given, the six thousand men and horses turned over and dismounted, and methodically removed the horseshoe from the horse's hooves, replaced them with soft wooden shoes, and wrapped them with cloth to reduce the sound of the horses' hooves when they landed, and at the same time, put wooden sticks into the horses' mouths to reduce the neighing of the horses.
The military discipline of the Zhenbei Army is like the character of Song Junyi and Song Lao General, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, after the military order is issued, the 6,000 men and horses will not be eliminated for a moment, and they will be properly organized.
Qin Han was about to give the order to enter the valley, there was a loud bang, a huge stone on both sides of the valley rolled over, the soil on both sides of the cliff was soft, and the falling mountain rocks rolled bigger and bigger like a snowball, and finally blocked the entrance of the valley.
Qin Han exhaled, and Duan Yanhao was also slightly relieved, so he could only take a detour, and there was no need to take risks.
"What a fucking bad luck!" Li Jixuan scolded, and also turned the horse's head, blocking the stones in the valley, which weighed 10,000 catties, even the heavenly Da Luo Jin Immortal was helpless in the mortal world.
Li Yuanying's figure suddenly flashed, disappeared from everyone's field of vision, only a blink of an eye, on the valley in front of him, suddenly bloomed a bright light, a green dragon rose from the ground, with a brutal action crashed into the boulder, boom, a deafening huge sound sounded between heaven and earth, the 10,000-pound boulder exploded into countless powders with a bang, the rain scattered and shattered, a boulder suddenly disappeared in the eyes of everyone, the next moment, the figure of the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty returned to the horse from the new, with a robe, exactly the same as when he just leftγ
"Now it's time to continue the march. Li Yuanying led the pioneer horse into the Valley of Divine Bravery.
Everyone present was stunned, silent, and only heard the sound of rain falling......, is this the method of a peak cultivator? Fantastic!
"Hey, hey, eighty percent force. Qin Han rode past Li Jixuan, his tone full of mockery.
Li Jixuan closed his open mouth and wiped the sweat on his face, it turned out that the deputy general did not fight with him, not for his own face, but for his Li Jixuan's face, and then looked at the figure of Li Yuanying who was walking in the forefront, and suddenly felt that His Majesty the Emperor was tall and mighty.
He hurried forward and looked flattering: "Your Majesty, your trick just now is so powerful, Weichen wants to ask, how much strength did you use?"
Li Yuanying snorted: "About eight points of strength." β
It's eight points of force again, Li Jixuan's old face turned red, and he felt that His Majesty the Emperor was sarcastic about himself, and he obediently fell behind, but this time the left vanguard of the Zhenbei Army did think too much, and His Majesty the Emperor really had to use eight points of strength.
The length of five miles before and after the Shenyong Valley is a straight line length, and when you enter it, you will find that the Shenyong Valley is an arc-shaped valley, which is more than eight miles, it has rained for many days, the ground is soft, and the water is serious, the horses fall into it, and the horse's mane is not enough, and it needs to be constantly pacified in order to soothe the horses and not panic.
Six thousand men and horses carefully entered the valley, trying not to make any sound, Duan Yanhao led the way in the front, Li Yuanying followed, there were rocks rolling down on the road ahead, Li Yuanying's figure was just a blink of an eye, and the rocks that rolled down turned into gravel powder, and when they rolled into the valley, they fell into the stagnant water, like stones falling into a pond, and could only ripple with a little splash.
Although there is rain watering, soaking wet, Duan Yanhao and Qin Han are still in a cold sweat, the life coefficient of the whole six thousand people and horses is pinned on the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, if there is a slight carelessness, such as the mountain and rock cutting and burying the valley, then it is tantamount to cutting the army into two sections, and the army behind can only withdraw from the valley, as for whether it will encounter the Hun cavalry, it depends on the destiny of heaven.
One of the most dangerous ones, the mud and sand on the cliffs on both sides of the hundred-zhang length, like a torrent of waves, want to swallow the soldiers in the valley, the two land dragons from bottom to top, rolling up, and the flood beast composed of mud and sand suddenly collided, and below is the marching Zhenbei army, the mud and sand accumulate more and more, the two dragons do not let an inch of land, until the six thousand men and horses completely through, the two land dragons retreat, the entire rear valley is flooded by mud and sand, and it becomes a flat land.
After experiencing a few dangers, Qin Han and Duan Yanhao suddenly relaxed, glanced at each other, and each smiled slightly, His Majesty the Emperor showed an incredible ability, which made the two of them happy and convinced, His Majesty said that six thousand people and horses will pass through, and it is really not an empty word.
That being said, in the valley of just eight miles, it took half an hour to walk, Li Yuanying turned around and entered the valley, and came to the rear of the army to escort him, ensuring that no one would be left behind.
Qin Han looked at the dripping rain and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you shouldn't be in danger, but I have to say, Your Majesty, you are really heroic!"
Duan Yanhao couldn't help laughing: "Lao Li, how is it, convinced or not?"
Li Jixuan nodded again and again: "Convincing, convincing, my old Li has said okay, who dares to say a word behind your majesty's back in the future, my old Li will fight with him directly!"
Duan Yanhao debunked: "How do I remember, as far as you used to say that Your Majesty didn't have much?"
Li Jixuan laughed dryly, and kept slapping his mouth: "At that time, I was still young, young, and ignorant! I can tell you, if anyone arranges bad things about me Lao Li in front of His Majesty, don't blame me Lao Li for turning his face and not recognizing people!"
Qin Han sighed, Lao Li don't make a face, he is really invincible, who rarely arranges you, just what you said about your majesty at the beginning, take out a random sentence, it is a big crime to kill your head.
Kou Zhongyuan smiled helplessly, the emperor's imperial skill of the Emperor of Heaven lies in the balance and reconciliation, this Northern Wei Dynasty Emperor is really unusual, they all say that the emperor can only share weal and worn, not wealth, but this female son of heaven of the Northern Wei Dynasty can share weal and worn, but also wealth, I really can't imagine that she can do "the bird is hidden in the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog cooks", unless the sun comes out from the west.
Suddenly, Kou Zhongyuan's wry smile froze on his face, and he shouted: "Be careful!"
Li Jixuan, Duan Yanhao, and Qin Han raised their heads at the same time, and in the rain curtain in front of the three of them, the rain suddenly exploded, and three vacuums suddenly formed, which was a strange scene caused by the sharp object penetrating the rain curtain, and three spears shot out in the air, exploding at Li Jixuan, Duan Yanhao, and Qin Han respectively.
The three of them slashed out at the same time, trying to block the sudden spear, but the speed of the spear was too fast, stabbing three vacuums in the rain, and the phantom filled it, pulling a black channel in the rain.
With a bang, the three spears that were imperative seemed to have been hit by the divine power of heaven and earth, and they were blasted into the ground in the blink of an eye, and they were not allowed to raise their heads.
In the rain curtain, a burly figure slowly walked out, looking at the six thousand men and horses of the Zhenbei Army, his eyes were calm, and his momentum was majestic and terrifying.
Li Yuanying came suddenly, fell lightly, saw the face of the person who came, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly: "A grassland tiger, it's a pity that it's not enough to kill." β
