"Ping Pong!"

"Bang bang bang!"

……

There was gunfire everywhere.

……

The seventh uncle was stunned and looked at the old man who was slowly falling beside him, his eyes widened:

"What kind of gun is this, shit, so accurate?"

……

One after another, the gunmen were knocked down by the soldiers outside, and the remaining musketeers were shocked.

In a panic, they did not care whether the rebels were within their range of fire, and fired back even in the direction where the gunfire was most intense.

"Sudden ......"

The gunpowder was put into the air, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

However, their shooting, doomed to be in vain.

First, the rebels had already found cover; Second, the range of the gun is too close......

……

Half a pillar of incense didn't have time, and there were no more gunshots on the wall.

Niu Erwa arranged for a part of the rebels to climb over the wall and enter the wall, and opened the log gate of Erlang Township.

By this time, there were no people in the town......

As early as the moment before Zhuang Ding's defeat, the villagers ran into the mountains along the back door......

"Yingzheng, we found messy footsteps at the back door, it should be that the Zhuang Ding have escaped, do we want to continue to track them?"

The finished product of the hole is opened, please instruct.

"Chase, why not!"

Niu Erwa clenched her back molars!

In front of him were two heralds covered in bruises, who had collapsed and could not speak.

The two brothers, scarred by the whipping, did not have a single intact piece of skin on their bodies except for the place under their crotch.

Even, because they have been hanging for too long, their arms are afraid that they will be useless.

……

When Niu Erwa escorted the 800 villagers of Erlang Temple back to Yuzhou, Zhu Cijiong happened to get the good news from Ye County.

Compared to how easy it was for them to seize other cities, Ye County was much more difficult.

……

Yexian County is located in the east of Nanxiangjia Road (that is, the pass).

For Zhu Cijiong, if he took this place, he successfully closed the east gate of the pass!

And for the Qing court, if they hold this place, they will naturally have a favorable position to attack and retreat!

The pass is wide on one side of Xiangfang City and narrow on the side of Xiangye County, forming a classic flare shape.

Such a terrain makes it more and more important to Ye County at the exit!

Huang Ji understands this truth, and likewise, General Li also understands this truth.

After the hasty escape from Yuzhou, General Li Shen escaped overnight, and under the escort of the elite family, he fled directly to the county seat of Yexian.

As soon as he entered the city, he took over the power of Yexian County, recruited 10,000 people to assist in defending the city, and at the same time, sent messengers to ask for help from the surrounding Ruzhou Mansion, Runing Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion.

……

The southernmost Qifeng Mountain and its affiliated mountain ranges hold the north of the Nanxiang Clamp Road.

The northernmost steaming bun mountain range of Tongbai Mountain Range and its affiliated mountain ranges hold the south of Nanxiang Jiadao.

Between the two mountain ranges is a low, hilly area, of which only the middle section is less than ten miles wide.

Among them, there is also a low-lying area of twenty miles from east to west and five or six miles from north to south, during which rivers are crisscrossed and swamps are everywhere......

In this way, whether it is coming out of the Nanyang Basin or the outside world wants to enter the Nanyang Basin, there are not many roads to choose from.

Since ancient times, there are only three roads in the east of Nanyang, which are the three "summer roads" in history, and the corresponding is "Yexian has three passes and three summer roads".

At the southern end of Qifeng Mountain, there is a group of not very tall peaks, called Wulipo.

The Matou Mountain at this five-mile slope just stuck the easternmost section of the Nanxiang Clamp Road.

From the county seat of Yexian County, there are only twenty miles of road left.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, Huang Ji was anxious, and he naturally knew that he had to be cautious in such a dangerous place.

How do you know that Huang Jiguang sent spies, and after careful investigation, he did not find any abnormalities.

Huang Ji smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had a high opinion of General Li.

"Tuanzheng, our department has already passed Matou Mountain, and there are still eighteen miles of road from the county seat of Yexian County.

Eight miles ahead, there is a mountain peak called Huashan, stuck on both sides of the official road, do we need to send spies to search carefully? ”

Wang Lei, the first battalion of the reconnaissance battalion, asked.

If spies are sent to search carefully, it will take at least an hour!

Huang Ji looked up at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west - if they delayed this hour, they wouldn't be able to get under Yexian County tonight.

"Did you spot anything unusual when the striker was passing by just now?" Huang Ji frowned.

Wang Lei shook his head: "Tuanzheng, the vanguard company went out of our department for ten miles, and according to the speed of the march, it has already passed Huashan." ”

"Everything was business as usual on the Vanguard Company's side, no gunfire was heard, and no flares were seen in the air."

Huang Ji frowned, he didn't want to delay this hour, he knew that he could reach the city tonight if he was in a hurry during the day, and if he waited until after dark, he wouldn't be able to hurry.

Marching in the mountains in the dark, once you encounter a sneak attack, it will be a big rout!

He spoke:

"Command all departments, form a battle formation, and speed through the Huashan area."

Wang Lei was about to leave, but Huang Ji called him again: "Let the soldiers load their bullets first." ”

Wang Lei said: "Tuanzheng, what do you mean ......?"

Didn't Huang Jimo think that there would be an ambush in Huashan?

His Royal Highness also said this trick when he explained military law to them.

His Highness said that the vanguard was only a small advance force of the enemy, and that usually the advance troops, when searching both sides of the road, only searched within a mile on both sides.

If you lie in ambush for a mile on the side of the road in advance, wait until the enemy vanguard has passed, and then come back from the lurk......

As long as explosives are planted on both sides of the road in advance, the results will be greater......

Huang Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am a local, and I am familiar with the terrain here."

But you don't know that there are only three roads in this pass, and what we are walking now is the one that passes through Huashan and Chuangwangzhai.

As you can see, most of the peaks of this generation are multiple peaks of one mountain, and the mountains rise from the ground, although these peaks are not high compared to other places, but they are actually very steep.

This Huashan has several peaks, the two highest of which are Huashan and Shegou Mountain.

There are the remains of the ancient city on the flower mountain, and the camp that King Chuang rebuilt here in that year is to be, and it is also called the Chuang Wang Zhai Mountain. ”

Huang Ji explained:

"Chuang Wangzhai Mountain and Yugou Mountain face each other, there is a saddle-shaped mountain bag in the two mountains, in the saddle groove, there is a winding and rugged road, no matter the south enters and the north exits, it is necessary to climb over a steep slope that is more than 8 miles long and hundreds of zhang high.

That's why this generation of mountains is called Wulipo on the map.

This road is steep and narrow, only allowing bicycles to pass, if the road is steep, put a boulder can block the traffic, can be described as 'a husband, ten thousand people do not open'!

And the most dangerous section is the section at the saddle - because Chuang Wangzhai is on the top of Huashan! ”
