Chapter 747: The Sound of Drums and Horns (19)
Obviously, the fireworks in the outpost alarmed all the scouts of the Eastern Army in this area, and along the way, the sound of whistles came and went, in that outpost, there were materials reserved by these scouts, and there were usually two or three people to guard them, and there should be no accidents in this area where the scouts of the Eastern Army had already controlled the situation.
When he approached the outpost, Zhang Xi could already smell the thick smell of blood in the air, and his heart couldn't help but sink suddenly. Quickening his pace, he rushed over, and in front of the outpost, there were already several scouts who had arrived in advance, and in front of them, a scout of the Eastern Army was lying there on his back facing the sky, holding a longbow tightly in one hand, and in his chest, a short dagger was inserted, and to the anger of all the scouts, this short dagger was the dead scout's own.
Zhang Xi stepped into the outpost with some heavy steps, where the remains of two soldiers were still lying, Zhang Xi squatted down, carefully examined the remains of his dead companions, one head was almost broken, and he couldn't distinguish his face at all, beside him, he threw a bloody flat pole, and on the other side, there was a thin strangulation mark on the neck of another soldier who fell to the ground, seeing this wound, Zhang Xi's heart jumped, this is not an ordinary weapon, but a neck that was strangled by an extremely thin rope, This kind of rope is not something that ordinary people can have, Zhang Xi has a brother in the action team of the Supervision Yuan, in his place, he has seen this kind of similar weapon, don't underestimate a thin rope, but it can bear hundreds of catties.
This is not an enemy scout, and during this period of time, hundreds of enemy scouts have been killed, and this weapon has never been found on the other side.
Zhang Xi stood up, picked out the pole, walked out of the door, and threw it on the ground with a bang.
After a few moments, the other scouts searched the surrounding area for some tattered clothes. Sweat towels, straw sandals and other things, these things are piled together, and the identity of the other party is already about to be revealed.
"It's not the scout of the other party, looking at these lines, it should be a coolie carrying labor." Zhang Xi said.
"In other words, this is a spy."
"He changed into our costumes, took our weapons, food, and absconded again."
"He has only one goal. That is Kunshan Pass. ”
"So what are you waiting for? Catch up and kill him. ”
A group of scouts quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.
Zhang Xi looked at the bodies of the three comrades-in-arms on the ground and took a step forward, "Although it was a sudden sneak attack, it can kill our three companions, this person's martial arts are not ordinarily good, so in the process of pursuit, we must at least keep a team of two, and we must not be left alone." Because after being alone, we will not have a person who is his opponent, looking at this person's means of killing, I am afraid that he is a master among Yan Lingwei. We need someone to go back immediately to report the news, since this person is a spy of Yan Lingwei lurking in Liaoxi County, returning at this moment must be taking away vital information. We need to let the chiefs know about this. Who's going back? ”
No one responded, Zhang Xi glanced around at everyone, "He Tianju." You were injured two days ago, and you haven't been able to get a good idea, you go back. ”
"Yes, Captain!" He Tianju was a little unwilling, but they were not willing to bargain here.
"Don't pout, I caught a scout on the other side, and now I don't have the time to pay attention to him, when you go back, you will do him easily, and first ask for a little interest for the brothers lying here." Zhang Xi pointed out to He Tianju where he had arrested people before, then turned his head and looked at the others, "Let's go, that guy shouldn't have gone far yet." ”
While Zhang Xi and his scouts were looking for the murderer like crazy, in Liaoxi County, Ye Chong was summoning his two generals, Zheng Xiaoyang and Tie Xun.
The two generals were not very interested, because this time, Liaoxi County was only a partial division, but the direction of the main attack was not here.
"Commander Ye, I'm thinking, if our partial division actually beat Hu Yanchao to the point where he peed his pants, would the Governor think that we violated his combat strategy?" Zheng Xiaoyang asked with some curiosity.
"Hu Yanchao is so good at fighting?" Ye Zhong glanced at him with a smile, "This person is in Liaoning Wei, with more than 10,000 standing troops and thousands of people, stubbornly withstood the attack of tens of thousands of horses in Donghu and stood tall, and finally retreated back unharmed, this person's ability, it can be seen from this, Tan Feng Zhou Yu left him to guard Langya, that is, he took a fancy to his skills in defense, after this person arrived in Langya, he was also based on defense, not only Langya County has been re-strengthened and heightened, but on the way forward, all the county seats, Now it's all a big change, this person is really good at defending the city! ”
"The Eastern Army is invincible, and there is no castle that cannot be defeated." On the other hand, Tie Hyun said lightly: "It doesn't matter if he is solid or not, he will be smashed to pieces." ”
"Don't be too careful, don't say anything else, just Xiaoyang's current advance on the road to the Kuoshan Pass, is a hard nut to bite, the Kuoshan Pass guards our main road out of Liaoxi, although the pass is not big, but the terrain is dangerous, the garrison of 3,000 people, are the elite who withdrew from Donghu, the general Wu Bo, is also a fierce general under Hu Yanchao. And Kuoshan Pass, we must take this opportunity to take it down, only after taking the Kuoshan Pass, we can be regarded as opening the door of Langya, in the future if you want to attack, if you want to retreat, retreat, attack, the front is a stretch of plain, retreat, behind is the Kuoshan Mountain Range, this is a lifeline of Langya. ”
"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely take it down."
"I have carefully studied Hu Yanchao's battle in Liaoning Wei, this person defends the city, never defends to the death, but to defend the center with the attack, and often switches to attack, this Wu Bo, since he is Hu Yanchao's favorite general, must also be proficient in this move, when attacking Kunshan Pass, we must pay attention to this."
"The last general has written it down."
"Tie Hyun, you lead the team to walk the sloping valley, detour hundreds of miles, the goal is to take Xintian County in Langya County, this time, you must grasp it well, after taking Xintian County, where will you stay, as for how to make the enemy not suspect your purpose, it depends on you. I have assigned to you all the cavalry of the entire army, and you should know the meaning of this. ”
"Understood!" Tie Hyun nodded heavily, "Take Xintian." feigned to enter Langya, waited for the opportunity, turned to the south, cooperated with the governor, and ran to the Tianhe. ”
"We are here to be a partial division, but if there is a problem with the partial division, it will directly affect the frontal battlefield. The fight was a surprise, so this time the army led by the governor only had 20,000 troops of the Young Guards, if we didn't fight well here, let Hu Yanchao free up, it would be very likely to threaten the governor's flank, so Xiaoyang, after you take the Kunshan Pass, you have to stick Hu Yanchao firmly in Langya County and can't move. ”
"Understood!"
"Comte attacked Anlu. Let's fight Langya, each of them fights their own, and it depends on who can last longer, but I'm afraid everyone can't think of it. This time, the real battlefield is in Tianhe. Ye Zhong said murderously: "When the capital overseer is under Jicheng, the whole game of chess will be alive." Langya, Yuyang will all be shaken. At that point, we can decide on our next move based on the opponent's reaction. ”
"Is the governor going to take Jicheng this time?" Zheng Xiaoyang said with some excitement.
"That's such an easy thing." Ye Zhong smiled, "Soldiers are coming to Jicheng." Ji Ling is bound to panic, defending Jicheng is something he has to do, but there are only two troops he can transfer, either Hu Yanchao in Langya, or Kong De in Yuyang, and we get one of these territories according to their choice. According to the estimation of the councilors, if it is a qiē shun lì, the other party is afraid that he will give up Yuyang. ”
"Why not Langya?"
"Back to Yuyang is the border of Yan and Zhao, after we take Yuyang, we have to be distracted to watch out for Zhao Guo, Zhou Changshou is not an easy guy to deal with! This person is cautious, there is a good thing to go on, the slightest wind and grass will pull out his feet and slip, slippery or not, this person is one of the two generals under Zhao Mu, Zhou Changshou is treacherous, Wu Zeng is brave, both are tricky characters, comparatively speaking, Ji Ling is naturally willing to give up Yuyang, let us go to compete with Zhao Guo. ”
"Hmph, anyway, I did it with them in Daijun, and it's not bad for Yuyang. It's a pity that I can't take Jicheng in one go this time! ”
"If you really want to think about this, it may be a bad battle, and we won't be able to destroy Yan before we destroy Donghu. Wait, it's going to be a day. Ye Chongdao.
"By the way, Commander, now the scouts under my command are going crazy and are chasing and killing that Yan Lingwei spy, has the Supervision Yuan found anything?"
"This person should be Yan Lingwei's person, judging from the current investigation, this person is disguised as a coolie, and has been in the county town of Liaoxi for two years, and this group of coolies to which he belongs, this time participated in the whole process of the transfer of our military baggage, this person should be a veteran, from these military baggage, judged the number of our troops, the direction of attack, so he will think of fleeing back to report, can kill our three scouts, this person's kung fu is very good, but so far, the true identity of this person has not been found."
"This incompetent guy from the Supervision Yuan actually let a spy of Yan Lingwei stay in the county town of Liaoxi for nearly two years, this person's identity must not be low, and this military leak will definitely bring trouble to our attack." Zheng Xiaoyang was a little annoyed, "Those scouts may not be able to stop him. ”
"There must be trouble, but it doesn't have much impact, Hu Yanchao knows that we are going to fight, and he has made corresponding preparations, if this guy really wants to go back, maybe Hu Yanchao will have some wrong judgments."
Zheng Xiaoyang suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, the real purpose of this attack, in Liaoxi County, only the three of us, plus Zheng Junshou knows, the soldiers below all thought that we were going to attack Langya in a big way, and I heard the soldiers rumor two years ago that they had transferred the Helan Xiong cavalry troops in Panshan!" ”
Ye Chong laughed, "It may be that we gathered the cavalry of the whole group army together and created some illusions for them, there are wrong moves, okay, don't ban them, let them pass it on like this, even our own people believe it, I'm not afraid that Hu Yanchao won't believe it."
