Chapter 136: The Trap
Human premonition is a very strange ability, some people call it a superpower. Whether it is the world of science and technology or the world of cultivation, it is difficult to make an exact explanation for this until a certain limit is broken. However, once that barrier is broken, whether it is the world of science and technology, or the world of cultivation, it will not be so mysterious.
In the cultivation world, the ability to have a hunch has a certain relationship with the Yin and Yang Jue, so the hunch of Xiang Ma and Gao Yuanfeng is much stronger than that of ordinary people. But not necessarily, it also depends on each person's talent and physique, that is, the affinity between the individual and the whole (natural), such as Ye Lao and Liu Qi, their hunching ability is not so obvious.
Later, more on that later. What has happened is basically the same as Gao Yuanfeng's premonition.
When Gao Yuanfeng was still on his way from Yong'an to Yingchou Pass, Zhou and Chen launched an offensive against Tianfeng at the same time. In the middle of Tianfeng's eastern border, the Chen army, with Chen Kun as the head of the march, was like a bamboo, and quickly occupied a large area of Tianfeng's territory.
The scouts of the major forces sent eagle letters to their lords, describing the fierce battle situation. The scouts of the Zhou State also immediately flew eagles to report to Tang Cizhong, the head of the march of the southern expeditionary army, and the capital.
Tang Cizhong received the scout's eagle letter, and finally let go of a hanging heart, confirming that Chen Guo was sincerely cooperating with Zhou Guo to attack Tianfeng this time, and not pretending to attack Tianfeng as King Zhou and Huangfu Ying suspected, but actually calculating Zhou Guo.
In the capital, Zhou Cang is even more happy. He personally signed the agreement. Once it is done, it will be a great achievement. If it is false, he will have to bear the responsibility of distinguishing between right and wrong. Huangfu Ying, Ling Shanhe, Sun Shuyang and others were also relieved. Chen Guo is really cooperative, although Chen Guo and Danxia are eye-catching, but as long as it does not harm the interests of Zhou Guo, as for whether it harms the interests of the dynasty, they don't care very much.
In addition to the areas directly under the imperial dynasty, Lifeng also has five countries, two cities and two gangs. Among the five kingdoms, the Qi State has been destroyed, and if Tianfeng is destroyed again, only the Zhou State and the Chen State will be left and a principality that is not taken into everyone's eyes. When Chen Guo destroyed Qi last time, his contribution was small, and he only got a county in Shannan. This time, Chen Kun argued with reason and insisted on asking for half of the family.
Even if Chen Guo divides the southern half of Tianfeng, Zhou Guo's strength will be further enhanced. Among the five countries under the imperial dynasty, Chen Guo had problems, and Anguo was a principality with a small area. And the two cities have only one city each, and the two factions belong to the landless organization. As a result, the geographical area and discourse power of the Zhou State will be greatly enhanced.
However, Huang Fuying was not happy, first, his vigilance against Chen Guo was not completely eliminated, and second, Zhou Guo was too prominent, which may not be a good thing. Taiwei came to Changshan, and his words flickered to ask her to be loyal to the dynasty first, indicating that the dynasty never wanted the Zhou State to sit big. King Zhou's self-confidence is bursting because of the advanced superman, and then his ambition has also soared, which may be a blessing or a curse. The number of supermen in the seventh-order dynasty is more than 100, and how many supermen have been promoted to the throne in the Zhou Kingdom because of the ban on the Immortal Sect? If the dynasty really wants to make a move, how can the Zhou country have room to resist.
Huangfu Ying's ability to become the god of war has a lot to do with her fact that she is not fanatical in good times and can still keep a clear head. It's a pity that Zhou Can, Ling Shanhe and others, who were carried away by the benefits, couldn't listen to it, and even doubted Huangfuji's intentions, feeling that the Huangfu family was worried about the growth of Zhou Can's prestige and authority, which would make Zhou Feiyan have no chance at all.
Of course, the voice of doubt will not be raised by Zhou Cang, who is complacently trying to check and balance. The responsibility for questioning falls on Ling Shanhe. Huangfu Ying had a big quarrel with Ling Shanhe and broke up unhappily. After returning home, after writing a reminder letter to close generals such as Zhou Feiyan, Gao Yuanfeng, the commander of the Western Army, and the commander of the Southern Army, Huangfu Ying was too lazy to go to court.
Since Tang Cizhong can be the head of the march, even Huangfu Ying has no objection, and his ability is certainly beyond doubt. On the one hand, he ordered people to continue to investigate the battle between Chen Jun and Tianfeng, and on the other hand, he waited for the news of Chang Shan. Soon, Zhou Cang's decree was repeatedly delivered by several flying eagles in a row, and the focus was only one word, attack. He also asked Tang Cizhong to attack quickly, so as not to be taken advantage of by Chen Guo, it seems that Tianfeng is waiting for them to eat a piece of big fat meat.
Zhou Zhang's level is not low, but his power is not as great as Tang Cizhong's, and he has long been dissatisfied with Tang Cizhong's delay. As soon as Zhou Cang's order arrived, Zhou Zhang led the Zhennan army to cross the Yingchou Pass first, and entered Tianfeng from the northeast corner of Tianfeng, and took the lead. Tang Cizhong had to then wave his army into Tianfeng. Alone

Zhou Zhang's department, even if there are 20,000 or 30,000 troops after the expansion of the army, in the face of the border army of the Tianfeng army, it may not be pleased. Tianfeng Bianjun is not the fish belly that Zhou Zhang thought.
To Tang Cizhong's surprise, the originally relatively strong Tianfeng border army was defeated with one blow. After making a contribution in the first battle, Zhou Zhang was overjoyed and disagreed with Tang Cizhong's doubts. Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think that the combat power of his army was much stronger than Tianfeng, and he self-righteously analyzed that it should be because Tianfeng's southern border was broken by Chen Guo, which made Tianfeng's army lose its fighting spirit.
Zhou Zhang's statement seemed to move Tang Cizhong. Tang Cizhong was also worried that his hesitation would allow Chen to occupy more territory and damage the interests of Zhou, so he increased the intensity and speed of his attack. And every day to inform Zhou Feiyan and Chang Shan to report the battle situation and progress.
The Zhou army did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and the speed of the attack was the same as that of a march. Ten days later, they arrived at a pass called Tiankeng Mountain.
Tiankeng Mountain, named after a huge sinkhole on the mountain. In Shanxi, Shandong, there are canyons leading to sinkholes. Although it is called a canyon, it is actually relatively wide, so Tianfeng has an official road here, which is conducive to the passage of east and west. Crossing Tiankeng Mountain, it was the first Tianfeng County City conquered by the Zhou army.
Tang Cizhong sent scouts to investigate both sides of the official road and inside and outside the sinkhole, but did not find Tianfeng's ambush, only a few stragglers who had been defeated from the front line. However, the scouts at the exit pass could not go through, and there were a large number of Tianfeng scouts to block and kill, and it seemed that the Tianfeng army was preparing to defend the Tiankeng Pass.
Zhou Zhang's troops still preemptively entered the official road of the sinkhole, passed through the sinkhole without any obstacles, and stormed the sinkhole pass at the exit. This time, Zhou Zhang finally encountered a tough battle, and the brigades took turns to attack for a day and a night, but they still did not take over.
Encountering a hard bone, Tang Cizhong was relieved, indicating that the rout of the Tianfeng border army was not a trap, but a retreat to this place and a desperate defense. So let the Zhengdong Army also follow into the official road of Tiankeng, and assisted Zhou Zhang to strengthen the offensive. The war was extremely cruel at this moment, and the blood of Zhou and Tianfeng's soldiers turned a large area of land in front of the pass into dark red. The remains of the corpses, densely packed.
As most of the Eastern Army entered the Tiankeng Road, more and more Tang Cizhong's brigades joined the attack in turn, and the defense of the Tianfeng Army finally could not resist, and in the evening, they abandoned the pass and fled.
Zhou Zhang was overjoyed, and regardless of snatching the spoils in Tiankeng Pass, he waved his army to pursue the victory.
The Tiankeng Pass was originally built near the exit, and after three or four miles of road, it suddenly opened up, and it was a large plain, suitable for cavalry charges.
The Zhou army followed behind the remnants of Tianfeng, and for a while they did not find the military flags, swords and guns lying on the ground not far away, as well as the cavalry of the brigade. Zhou Zhang was in the middle of his army and chased out of the mountain pass. As soon as he came out, his soul flew out of the sky, and the Tianfeng cavalry on the opposite side had already mounted his horse, waving his flags and waving his flags, and his swords and guns were like a forest.
"Retreat!" Zhou Zhang shouted in horror. At this time, if people were immediately organized to resist and defend the mountain pass, perhaps the collapse of the Zhou army would not be so fast. However, Zhou Zhang was dazed for a while, and when he saw that he had entered the enemy's ambush circle, he panicked and only cared about his own escape.
Where to flee? The rear army is still rushing forward, but the Chinese army is desperately retreating and trampling on each other. As for the front army, it was already miserable, swept by the tide-like Tianfeng Iron Cavalry, like dead branches and leaves floating in the autumn wind, and was quickly trampled into mud. The ferocity of Commander Tianfeng was jaw-dropping, he actually launched a charge regardless of his own side and stragglers who did not avoid it, so that many of Tianfeng's own soldiers who had fought hard for two days and one night also suffered the same fate as the Zhou army.
This was a one-sided massacre, and the Zhou army could not organize a resistance at all. The sinkhole road is wide and can accommodate more than a dozen horses in parallel. The Tianfeng army has been slaughtered into the official road and poured into the Tiankeng Pass.
Tang Cizhong, who had just ascended the Tiankeng Pass, was shocked, and hurriedly organized people to defend the pass, but it was ineffective at all, and his own rout blocked the gate to death, so that the gate could not be closed, not to mention, the Zhou army on the wall had no way to make a move, because there were more Zhou troops under the wall than the Tianfeng army.
At this time, a raging fire suddenly ignited on the back road, which accelerated the overall rout of the Zhou army.
There are indeed no large number of Tianfeng ambushes on Tiankeng Mountain, and if there are ambushes, they can't hide from the eyes of the Zhou army's scouts. If the scouts couldn't detect the situation on the mountain, Tang Cizhong would not rashly lead the troops into the Tiankeng Road. But
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, there are many Tianfeng stragglers who fled from the front line. These stragglers can't do a large-scale attack, but it's okay to set fire. The 'remnants' who intended to withdraw here, with the assistance of a small number of elites who had been ambushed in advance, killed the scout team of the Zhou army, took out a large number of flammable materials that had been hidden in the cave for a long time, and left the official road after igniting them.
At this time, it was just the beginning of summer, and the grass and trees on both sides of the official road were not very dense, the water was sufficient, and the official road was wide, so the damage effect of arson was actually not great. But it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making the panicked Zhou army think that there were ambushes on the back road. Even Tang Cizhong was also panicked, abandoned the Tiankeng Pass that he had just captured, and led people to flee, striving to withdraw from Tiankeng Mountain as soon as possible.
What is a haste but not reaching, and what is a stampede accident? Zhou Jun perfectly interpreted these two concepts at this moment. Everyone is squeezing desperately, so everyone can't run fast. No matter how wide the official road is, it can't withstand the crowding of tens of thousands of people. A small number of soldiers from Tianfeng on the mountains on both sides shouted vigorously, which made Zhou Jun feel that the wind was loud and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Without waiting for the Zhou army to withdraw from the official road, the small number of troops who had not yet entered the official road were dealt a fierce blow. Tianfeng's front line was 'routed', and the army seemed to be embarrassed, scattered like headless flies, but at this time, it suddenly converged bizarrely, forming a powerful attack force, and drove all the rear teams of the Zhou army that had not yet entered the official road into it.
The sky was getting dark, and both ends were attacked, and Zhou Jun himself squeezed himself densely into the sinkhole. The whole army is out of control, and it is a mess, and it will not be able to find its own soldiers, and the soldiers will not be able to find its own generals. Someone climbed up the cliff of the sinkhole. Where did they climb up, they fell one after another. No one noticed that someone had quietly jumped into the pit from the outer edge of the sinkhole and melted into the Zhou army.
Fortunately, the enemy troops at both ends did not launch an attack at night, so that the Zhou army, which had no master of the six gods and was in a mess, gradually calmed down. But the strange thing is that their shouting is quiet, and they can't hear the orders of Tang Cizhong's senior generals.
Zhou Feiyan started from this day and did not receive Tang Cizhong's eagle letter.
Although the Tianfeng people did not attack, it did not mean that they stopped moving. The troops on both sides of the mountain gathered overnight, more and more, and the number of people on each side was no less than the Zhou army.
It wasn't that Tianfeng had so many people here, at the entrance of Shanxi, the Tianfeng army that had gathered changed their clothes overnight, and it turned out to be all Chen Jun.
And the soldiers of the Chen Army who attacked the city in the south of Tianfeng also changed their clothes the next day, but it turned out that the city guards from Tianfeng's native area were pretending. It can be seen that Chen Kun's war to sweep Tianfeng was all a fake fight. Chen Kun only took his own personal guards and flew north.
On the third day after Zhou Feiyan left Bohai, Chen Kun rushed to Tiankeng Mountain. At this time, most of the high-ranking generals in the Zhou army disappeared for no reason, and the many breakthroughs of the unorganized Zhou army to both ends also ended in failure.
A sinkhole will be the two armies of Zhou Guo's expedition to the east and east of the town, and one 'pit kills' cleanly.
At this moment, Lu Tai received Zhou Feiyan's eagle letter, and was shocked, regardless of whether it was true or not, he hurriedly gathered troops to strengthen the defense of Yingchou Mountain Pass, and stopped the follow-up supplies delivered to the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Zhou Feiyan is traveling to Yanhu Lake at the same time. Wen Chao was in a dilemma and didn't know where to go. Niu Di led his army south and rushed to the Bohai Sea. Huangfu continued to wave his army eastward and went straight to the north of Yanhu Lake.
Chang Shan, Zhou Cang, and Ling Shanhe were worried in their hearts, why didn't they receive the eagle letter?
In the Bohai Sea, Gao Yuanfeng is speeding up and digging a pit for Chen Jun.
A few hundred miles to the west, in the Bajun Mountain where the original Eight Horses Society was located at the junction of Tianfeng, Yuanwu and Zhou Kingdom, Wu Xing, the Taifu of Lifeng, appeared in the main hall of the Eight Horses Society mysteriously, and handed the eagle letter he had just received in his hand to Xiang Xiaotian, the uncle of Wuyuan Wang, "Brother Xiang, you can let the Yuan Wu Army attack the Zhou Realm." ”
Xiang Xiaotian glanced at Yingxin, as if he knew the result, and dropped it casually, "Brother Wu, I don't understand why you want to do this. ”
Old God Wu Ying is here, "I don't want Huangfu Ying to rush to Qidi." ”
Xiang Xiaotian finally relieved his doubts and nodded in agreement. Dealing with Wu Xing, an old fox, if you don't ask clearly, you may be eaten by him at any time.
