Chapter 18 The North Foot Outpost

The heavy rain was brutal and cruel, although there were Li Yu and Wang Ping to guide the way, but in this bad weather, a line of elite was inevitably damaged, and more than a dozen people were forever buried under the cliffs of the mountains and valleys, including the soldiers of Hanzhong and the soldiers of the various tribes.

Fire and water are merciless, nature... Even more so.

"Third son, there is Wild Fox Ridge in front!"

After two days and one night of marching, Zhang Yong and the others only marched more than 50 miles between the night rain and the mountains, and barely got out of the boundary of Danqu County and entered the area ruled by Pang Yi, which was also the destination of their trip: Anhan County.

Because Brazil County is surrounded by high mountains and dangerous mountains, or low mountains and valleys, there are not many roads leading from Wakou Pass to Anhan, one is the road from Anhan to Danqu City, from Anhan to Danqushui, and then go straight up, but this avenue as the main road of the march, has long been firmly guarded by the army sent by Pang Yi, just by their people, if they take the road... It is undoubtedly self-defeating; The second road is the one they walked in front of them, from the mouth of the tile out, around the mountain, through the wild fox ridge in front of them, to the west for more than 30 miles, you can see the outline of Anhan City, but this road is difficult to walk, except for the woodcutter in the mountains and forests, few people walk; As for the third road, it is also a dangerous road, with high mountains and valleys, thorns, except for a few herb pickers... Very few people traveled.

"The army continues to move forward, and orders all troops to stay in line, and don't fall behind!"

What is the most feared thing about marching among the mountains and mountains?

Accidents that happen suddenly from time to time? Or hunger, cold?

Neither!

The most feared thing is to get lost, once you fall behind... Doomed... There is only one dead end.

Looking at the bottom of the steep mountain stream in front of him, Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel a chill, in this mountain stream that was only two feet long, I don't know how many souls have been buried throughout the ages.

The cold wind whistled by, hovering and lingering in the Wild Fox Ridge, like a terrible ghost's wail.

But fortunately, after entering the Wild Fox Ridge, the continuous rain on my head... It finally dissipated, which made Zhang Yong and his party a little excited.

At the bottom of the mountain stream for just a few miles, in the noise of burning torches, Zhang Yong and the others walked for four hours, and stayed until the sun rose the next day... Fang just walked out of Wild Fox Ridge.

"Tell the army to trim and make a fire to keep warm!

Also, send someone to hunt some game, get more meat, and have a good meal! ”

Bathed in the long-lost sunshine, Zhang Yong felt that the chill on his body had dissipated a lot, but... After nearly two days and two nights of rapid marching, I was still tired all around.

"No"

Out of Yehuling, everyone's mood was much better, Meng Qiu, Li Yu, Wang Ping and others lifted their spirits and went to prepare according to Zhang Yong's instructions.

……

"Spread the heads of the ministries and the generals of the various ministries to come to discuss the matter!"

Wakou Pass, in the past two days since Zhang Yong left, Zhang Wei's heart has been entangled, always worried that something will happen to Zhang Yong.

However, seeing the continuous dark clouds in the sky disperse, Zhang Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at this time... Yong'er, they should also enter the realm of Anhan, right?

Rain... It's finally stopped! It's time for the big war to begin.

Zhang Yongdu went out, and his dignified Zhonglang will... You can't always be blocked by Pang Yi in the pass!

"Kai Yu Zhonglang General! All the ministries have arrived, please show the general! ”

It seemed that the rain had dissipated, and the steps of the leaders and generals were much brisker, and in less than half an hour, Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, and several generals from Hanzhong came to Zhang Wei's tent.

"Three leaders, Xuanhan and Danqu have prepared a lot of grain and grass materials these days, and the materials transported by Hanchang have also arrived in Danqu City, it's time for us to move!"

Looking at the energetic Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed with a gleam.

With soldiers, food, and weapons, even if it can only last for half a month, it is enough for him to make Pang Yi suffer.

"It's all up to the Zhonglang general!"

As a person who has lived in the mountains and wilderness for a long time, Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue don't have such a big mind, and they have long hated Pang Yi to death these days.

"In this way, Zhang Wei has trespassed!"

hugged his fists, Zhang Wei was not polite, picked up the arrow and gave orders.

"The weight of grain and grass is the weight of this battle, please ask Leader Du to go in person."

"Du Hao received the order, and he will live up to the trust of the Zhonglang general!"

"After several days of heavy rain, the water in the ditch has skyrocketed, so I ask Pu Hu to lead the elite 5,000 to set up a dam ten miles north of Wakou Pass, and make a momentum of stopping the water and rushing to the camp."

"No... He will live up to the trust of the general."

"Sima Wang Zhe of the other department obeys the order! …”

……

With the issuance of Zhang Wei's orders, the 30,000 troops in Wakou Pass began to mobilize in an orderly manner, and a big battle... It has come.

……

After the wind rose to the ground, after eating and drinking, and resting, Zhang Yong and the others suddenly felt much better, packed up their armor and continued to move forward.

After crossing the Wild Fox Ridge, the march speed of the army was significantly faster, and it came out at noon, and appeared at the end of the lofty mountains and mountains before the twilight... It is also the last checkpoint in front of them, the North Foot Sentry Pass.

Therefore, it is difficult to walk, so the county lieutenant of Anhan did not set up more troops here, and only a few dozen county soldiers were stationed for a long time... But the purpose of the garrison is not to defend against threats from the north, after all, after crossing hundreds of miles of cliffs... It's sensational; Rather, it is to collect woodcutters and medicine pickers... The hunter's tax money has a lot of good goods between the mountains and mountains, and Anhan can also make a lot of money every year.

"Meng Qiu, Li Yu, and Wang Ping listen to orders!"

Looking up at the Beilu Sentry Pass not far away, Zhang Yongmo held the long sword at his waist for a while, and then made a decision.

Although the northern foot sentry pass is slightly dangerous, but dozens of county soldiers are really not enough to see in front of their elite, even if they attack strongly... Zhang Yong is also confident that he will capture this outpost within half an hour.

"The last general!"

"The three of you will go and prepare according to the results of the previous discussion!"

"No!"

After saluting Zhang Yong, the three of them turned around and went to prepare.

Half an hour later, I saw Meng Qiu and the three of them unloading their armor... Dressed as a woodcutter, carrying fuelwood and a firewood knife at his waist... Head in the direction of the sentry post.

"Stop coming!"

In front of the sentry pass, some Anhan County soldiers saw Meng Qiu and the three of them coming to the pass with a torch, and shouted loudly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.

The oil and water came again, and the guards stationed at the northern foot of the sentry were very bored, if they hadn't been able to draw a thing or two from it, how could they stay here and suffer from the cold wind every day.

"Open the gate, Ma Qiu, Zhang Wu, you two go down and have a look!"

In the sentry gate, a man who looked like a tun chief drank the blended wine bought at a low price from Anhan, and shouted at the two county soldiers who had just come up.

"Tun Chief, let's go... Here it goes! ”

With a flattering laugh, the two county soldiers picked up the two long knives placed on the weapon rack and walked towards the gate.

With a click, the two sentries in the pass came to Meng Qiu and the three of them with great might.

"You..."

"Master Jun, we are woodcutters outside Anhan City, and we went into the mountains to collect wages some time ago... On the way, it rained heavily and was delayed in the mountains for some time, and today Fang had returned, and he did not return for several days... I'm afraid that my family will be worried, and I hope that the military master will make it convenient! ”

Meng Qiu and Li Yu are both strong people in refining gang, so naturally they will not curry favor with a low voice... lost his identity, even if it was for military strategy... The two may not pretend to be alike, so... The work here can only be undertaken by Wang Ping.

While speaking, I saw Wang Ping take out a few copper coins from his waist and stuff them into the hands of a county soldier.

"You're a sensible kid!

Okay, come with the military master, wait for the identity verification and let you pass! ”

Weighing the weight of the copper coin in his hand, the two county soldiers smiled a little, turned around and led the three of them towards the pass.

"Do it!"

As soon as I entered the pass, I saw Meng Qiu shouting!

The three of them immediately pulled out the firewood knives on their waists and ended the lives of the two county soldiers and killed the sentry pass.

Time... I only heard a terrible hiss circling over the northern foot sentry pass.

"Meng Qiu, they do it... The whole army is ready to go! ”

Outside the gate, Zhang Yong saw the Pangzi flag above the sentry pass falling, and immediately got up... led a group of elites waving the banner of the Zhang clan in more than ten Hanzhong... Quickly head to the sentry point.

"Who are you who dare to make trouble here, don't you know that this is under the rule of Lord Pang Yi?"

In the sentry pass, a body was cut off, and in just a few moments, dozens of county soldiers had fallen into the hands of Meng Qiu and the others, leaving only the life of the tun commander for Zhang Yong's questioning.

"You'll soon find out who we are!"

Speaking of this tun chief, Meng Qiu pressed him to the wall of the sentry pass, looked at the banner of the Zhang clan in Hanzhong displayed under the pass, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Maybe... It's not bad to be a charging general, at least it's better than when you're in the Dark Pavilion... It's so much better!

"Han... Hanzhong... Zhang's"

"How is this possible? How can it be? ”

Looking at the banner that appeared under the gate, the tun commander shuddered for a while, as if he recalled some terrible memory.

"Three sons!"

Not long after, Zhang Yong led a group of elites into the sentry pass and planted the banner of the Zhang clan in Hanzhong on the territory of Anhan.

"Thank you for your hard work, when I return to the ditch, I will definitely ask Zhonglang for you to take credit!"

Stretching out his hand to help Meng Qiu and the others, Zhang Yong's expression was much calmer, and when he took the Beilu Outpost, Anhan City was close in front of him, and he had some confidence in his heart.

"It's the third prince who is the first to strategize, and the last general won't dare to take credit!"

Meng Qiu didn't need to say much, with the hundred-mile march and the surprise attack on the sentry pass, Li Yu and Wang Ping respected Zhang Yong a little more.

The perseverance and strategy of this third son... are very human.

"You're the keeper of this level? What is your name? ”

Turning his head to look at the frightened An Hantun Chief, Zhang Yong got up and stepped forward.

"The villain is... The villain is, the villain's name is Zhang Hu, and he hopes that the general will spare his life! I hope the general will spare his life! ”

Seeing Zhang Yong walk to his side, the tun chief shuddered and said goodbye.

I'm scared... I'm really scared, dozens of subordinates have become dead souls in just a quarter of an hour, and he doesn't want to follow in his footsteps.

"Get up!"

"Please also ask the general to spare the villain's life... The general spares his life! ”

"I'm talking!"

"Ben just wants to ask you a few questions, and if you answer well, Ben will spare your life! How is it? ”

Looking at Zhang Hu, who was frightened, Zhang Yong had a headache, and his voice suddenly became a little lower.

What are the goods? This kind of person can actually get into the position of the tun chief?

And no wonder... Uncle hadn't taken Pang Yi in his eyes before.

There are not many such goods, as long as there is one or two percent, basically this army will be finished by itself.
