Chapter 197: Huang Elk Yuan (2)
Not to mention the rabble of the Wandering People's Army, if even the elite of the Tiger Ben Army forcibly crossed these countless mountains, they would inevitably be dragged down in the end, and without a long rest, they would never have combat strength at all.

Hou Ning Chengzhi of Wulie County, where the Ning clan was in Yanjing, suddenly rushed to Huang Elkyuan, and the news he brought was like a boulder, stirring up a shocking storm in the hearts of the generals of the Ning faction.
At present, Yanjing only knows that the main force of the Wandering People's Army in Qintong Mountain has suddenly lost its whereabouts, and the camp at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain is full of old and weak women and children and abandoned hungry people.
However, the generals of the Ning clan in Jiyang County couldn't believe all this.
This news is really shocking, and Ning Zhize only summoned the generals of the Ning clan to discuss, and for the time being, he did not dare to let all the generals of the Tiger Ben Army and the local military generals from the local clan know about it, for fear of causing unnecessary mutinies.
Even if they were discussing in the big tent at this time, they were all the generals of the Ning family, and when they heard the news brought by Hou Ning Chengzhi of Wulie County, they couldn't accept it.
At the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, except for a limited number of gorges such as Zuojin Valley, other places can be said to be dangerous and desperate areas that are difficult for birds to cross.
In particular, the mountains at the northeastern foot of Qintong Mountain, even if the mountain pass between the ridges and peaks and valleys is a little lower, there are hardly any above the snow line. In such a desperate and dangerous place, the wind blows the bones, the cold is stinging, ordinary people will be frostbitten and frozen to death if they don't pay attention to it, and there are countless fierce demon beasts lurking in the mountains and wilderness, not to mention the rabble of the wandering army, everyone dare not imagine whether it is possible for the elite of the hundreds of thousands of tiger ben army behind them to collapse after crossing this desperate ridge.
"Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun are not blind people, they led hundreds of thousands of elites of the Xiyuan Army to keep an eye on Tongbei, how could they let hundreds of thousands of rebels slip away from under their eyes and noses without noticing? These rebels didn't fly away directly with their wings. ā
Most of the generals of the Ning family's lineage didn't think that anything would go wrong with Wen Boyuan, a close minister of the Ying Dynasty's lineage, at this time, and they all thought in their hearts, if the Xiyuan Army had maintained strong military pressure on the rebels from the direction of Leiyang Valley, how could the main force of the rebels say that they would get out?
Although the generals of the Ning family, most people look down on the Xiyuan Army created hastily, and there are few generals who have cultivated in the Enlightenment Realm, so it is impossible to compare with the Tiger Army, but they also feel that the Xiyuan Army can also be called elite in front of the rabble of the Wandering People's Army.
"Could this part of the rebels still be hiding in a desperate valley somewhere at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, Wen Boyuan and they didn't even notice it? But then again, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to hide it, and even if they do, Wen Boyuan's side should not be unaware. ā
The news brought by Hou Ning Chengzhi of Wulie County was too appalling, even at this time, most of them still couldn't believe that the news would be true; everyone stared at the coach Ning Zhize, and Ning Zhize was speechless at this time, and they didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Hou Ning Chengzhi of Wulie County served as Zuo Fengchang in Tianshu Mansion, under the Tianshu envoy and Tianshu's deputy envoy, and he himself was also a figure in the Dao Dan realm, second only to Ning Zhize in Ning's status.
Although the authority of the Tianshu Mansion has been somewhat hollowed out, if it weren't for the extreme urgency of the matter, Ning Chengzhi would not have been idle enough to rush to Jululing in person to summon the interrogation, and at this time, he simply revealed the greater suspicions for the generals' reference:
"Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun led the Xiyuan Army to defend Qintong, and they really didn't find any abnormalities in the rebels, or did Yao Qitai, the secretary of the Taiwei Mansion, see that the stalemate has been delayed for too long, and Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun have no intention of sending troops to suppress the rebels for half a year, so they can't bear it anymore and bypass Wen Boyuan to send people into the mountains to reconnoitre. It was Yao Qitai who discovered that the main force of the rebels had disappeared, and the camps of the homeless army deep in the northern foot of Qintong Mountain only left three or four hundred thousand hungry people who were coerced into the mountains to act as a cover to confuse the vision of the Xiyuan Army. ā
Hearing Ning Chengzhi say this, the generals of the Ning clan all gasped.
Ning Chengzhi's implication was that Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun, who were the descendants of the British king, intended to indulge the main force of the rebels in Qintong Mountain to enter Jiyang County.
Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun harbor evil intentions?
Why did Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun do this, indulge the main force of the rebels of Qin Tongshan to enter the Jiyang group, and try their best to block the news, what do they want to do?
Could it be His Royal Highness?
Everyone's minds are stuck here, and they don't dare to continue thinking about it.
"Uncle Nineteen won't have a problem!"
The young general sitting at the head of Ning Zhize, with tiger eyes and eagle nose, extremely tall figure, sitting with a straight waist behind the long case, is not much shorter than other generals, and there is a faint green luster flowing in his eyes, which shows that he is already a disciple of Xuan Xiu who has opened up the sea of ancestral knowledge and stepped into the realm of enlightenment, and then seeing that he is so young and has such a high cultivation, everyone thinks it is incredible.
The young general knew what Ning Chengzhi was implying when he said these words, but he never believed that Uncle Nineteen Yingshu would betray his father, and said categorically,
"Even if some rebels cross Qintong Mountain, enter Jiyang, and merge with the Jululing rebels, they are only half of the remnants of the remnants of the army, and there is no need to worry about what strategy they have. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun really harbor evil intentions and deliberately let some remnants of the remnants enter Jiyang, what can they do to us? I will see if there is a problem on Uncle Nineteen's side after this battle is over, everything will be clear. ā
"The rebels fled into Julu Ridge in a hurry, and a month ago, they suddenly had the intention and momentum to kill Julu Ridge, which is also strange. "Some people realize the seriousness of the problem and have to think carefully about all possibilities.
"His Royal Highness, can he be in Yanjing City at this time?" Ning Zhize, who had been silent for a long time and had been listening to the arguments of the generals, suddenly opened his eyes at this time, stared at Ning Chengzhi coldly and asked.
"The Taiwei Mansion is determined to rebuild Qintong Pass, and His Royal Highness personally rushed to supervise the construction, and he has not appeared in Yanjing City for more than a month, so he should have stayed in Qintong ......Pass all the time," Ning Chengzhi said.
"It's been more than a month!" Ning Zhize suddenly felt a chill rushing up from his heel.
The "......" young general was suddenly speechless at this time, although it was said that the Qintong Pass City destroyed by the traitors was thousands of miles away from Yanjing, although the British King could supervise the construction of the Qintong Pass New City on behalf of the Taiwei, but there was no reason to stay in the Qintong Pass for more than a month for no reason.
It's just weird.
"Shall we withdraw from Wusheng Pass first?" someone asked worriedly.
They really can't imagine what kind of turmoil will be brought about after the British king and the prince Yingdan tear their faces, and no matter whether there is a problem with the British king's Yingshu, they immediately led the elite of the 150,000 tiger army to retreat to Wushengguan between Jiyang and Gyeonggi, and they were not afraid of what waves Yanjing City could turn over.
"If you can't finish this battle, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to retreat......" someone said with a frown.
The 150,000 Tiger Ben Army and more than 10,000 elite Ning clan's disciples were used as the front army and the Chinese army, and the camp extended as far as possible to the hinterland of the Yellow Elk Plain; hundreds of thousands of local armed forces were relatively low, and as the left and right armies, the camps were arranged on the flanks; and behind them, the rear army was mainly composed of heavy soldiers and horses.
Withdrawing northeast from the Yellow Elk Plain, the valley road was narrow, and at this time it was being filled with thousands of baggage wagons and horses.
Now they were less than thirty miles away from the rebel front, and three or four hundred thousand men and horses suddenly turned around and retreated, leaving only the weakest tail for the rebels to raid.
And they built a camp in the east of the Yellow Elk Plain, but they never thought that there would be a day of retreat, the camp was built quite simply, and it was difficult to leave a group of soldiers and horses behind the palace to cover the main force to withdraw first.
In the past month, the rebels have been mobilizing troops and actively adjusting their offensive posture, and they may be waiting for this moment.
***********************
An unnamed hill in the southwest of the Yellow Elk Plain, which looks only more than 400 meters high, is the gateway to the north out of Jululing.
The Tiger Ben Army, which initially chased to the edge of Julu Ridge, only built a strong fortress here, but previously saw that the main force of the Liumin Army intended to fight a decisive battle in Huangmiyuan, so they specially gave way to this hill.
The Tiger Ben Army gave up this hill, so as not to block the main force of the large number of displaced people in the deep mountains and wide ridges south of this hill, and before the main force of the Wandering Army was really damaged, the Tiger Ben Army did not dare to casually cross this hill and advance into a dangerous place where it was difficult for the troops to deploy.
Le Yi was wearing an ink armor at this time, and he was also wearing a black armor mask on his face, he stood on the top of this hill, his eyes flashed with a cold glow, and he looked coldly at the former military camp of the Tiger Ben Army, which was less than thirty miles away.
The Tiger Ben Army did not think that there would be a moment to retreat to the camp, so the camp was built poorly, and did not plan too many supplies.
Le Yi couldn't see anything unusual in the camp of the Tiger Ben Army at this time, but in the valley behind him, 120,000 Black Turban Army and 300,000 ordinary righteous soldiers had been transferred out from the depths of Julu Ridge one after another, and they were ready to attack at this time.
Regardless of whether the Tiger Ben army on the opposite side found the abnormality in Qintong Mountain, the battle was already like an arrow, and it had to be sent at this time.
The quenched gold scales on Le Yi's body are as black as a lake on a moonlit night, boundless black, but with a reflective luster, and his pupils at this time are more like the armor pieces on his body, covered with a layer of black shadows that can never be torn apart.
At this time, Le Yi, who served as the main striker, felt a faint throbbing pain every time he recalled everything he had experienced in the past six months.
Who would have imagined that more than 500,000 people set out from the Wild Fox Ridge deep at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, and after four months, less than a quarter of the people finally crossed the more than 2,000 snow-capped mountains and entered the Julu Ridge.
When Le Yi thought back at this time, he felt inconceivable, and even regretted offering the secret crossing strategy to Heavenly Master Gong Liang, but in the end they survived.
Although in the end, only 120,000 Black Turban troops crossed the mountains, they did not collapse or collapse, and Le Yi believed that they would definitely give a big "surprise" to the Tiger Ben Army on the opposite side!
