Chapter 433: Xu Shijian's Death
、、、、、、、、、、
The road in this Wagang Mountain is really hard to find, at a glance, it is full of woods and grass, and it seems that all the roads are similar. If it weren't for Wei Haoliang and Hu Xiaopeng, who were very familiar with this place and drew a very detailed map, I was afraid that Zhou Jun would have lost his way long ago.
As a pioneer, Niu Jinda had already memorized the topographic map firmly, and led the team to a hurry, turning a few bends of the mountain, crossing the rugged ravine, and soon arrived in front of the second pass leading to the Black Wind Village.
According to Wei Haoliang's description, the general in front of him is called Xu Shijian, who is said to be Xu Shiji's cousin.
Niu Jinda grabbed Hu Xiaopeng's hand tightly, put the dagger in his hand on his waist and said: "Hu Xiaopeng, you will be able to deceive and open the door in a while, you must succeed!" Don't fail! If you dare to ruin the big things of our army, Niu Mou's dagger can only be stabbed down! ”
After Hu Xiaopeng heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly said with a flattering face: "General Niu, don't worry, didn't I cooperate well with you before the first pass just now?" I also know that there is no turning back when I open the bow! Since he has betrayed Migong, how dare he betray him again? Won't neither side be able to tolerate me? ”
Niu Jinda smiled and said, "Hu Xiaopeng, it's good that you know!" Anyway, don't play any tricks! Niu only needs you to lure Xu Shijian out of the customs, and Niu has his own way to solve the rest. ”
Hu Xiaopeng smiled bitterly, and had to walk towards the pass, and the soldiers accompanying him also changed into blood-stained armor, pretending to be embarrassed, and stumbled forward.
By the time they reached the second pass, some Wei soldiers had heard the sound of movement in front of the pass, and they rushed to the wall one after another, looking at the group of soldiers rushing in confusion below.
"General Xu, open and close the door! Let me in! Big things are wrong! Hu Xiaopeng shouted at the top of his throat.
"Hu Xiaopeng? You're back, huh? Aren't you by Wei Haoliang's side? What happened? Xu Shijian was shocked in his heart, and immediately asked loudly.
Hu Xiaopeng said with a sad face at this time: "General Xu, the big thing is not good, Liu Jinsong, the guard of the first pass, wanted to surrender to the Zhou army, so he intercepted the grain and grass and baggage carts of the Zhou army that we grabbed this time, and General Wei was also held hostage by him!" It was with great difficulty for a few of us to escape with a blood, ready to ask for help from Mi Gong! ”
"What? How could this happen? When Xu Shijian heard this, he was also shocked in his heart. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to lower the drawbridge and open the gate.
As soon as Hu Xiaopeng, Song Jingang and others walked into the gate, they saw Xu Shijian rushing over in a hurry, he grabbed Hu Xiaopeng, and asked sharply, "What is going on?" Liu Jinsong's wife is Mi Gong's cousin, and he is also a relative of Mi Gong, so he will surrender to Zhou Jun? ”
He was tall, quick-tempered, and fast-moving, and grabbed Hu Xiaopeng in one hand, making him feel a little flustered.
After a while, Hu Xiaopeng stabilized his mood and hurriedly said, "General Xu, this matter is true!" Fortunately, Hu escaped quickly and escaped. Liu Jinsong will definitely contact the Zhou army, if he doesn't send reinforcements to subdue it quickly, he is afraid that the first pass will fall into the hands of the Zhou army. I also asked General Xu to let me go to Wagangzhai quickly, and asked Mi Gong to send troops to the rescue. ”
Xu Shijian was originally a big man, completely different from his cousin Xu Shiji. As soon as he heard that Hu Xiaopeng was going to run to Wagangzhai in the back, he asked Li Mi for help. I thought to myself, how could that be in time? Waiting for the Mi Gong to send reinforcements, I am afraid that the first pass has been occupied by the Zhou army.
Therefore, he immediately said: "The first pass is very important to our army, and it must not fall into the hands of the Zhou army." At present, Liu Jinsong has just defected, and I expect that the large army of the Zhou army should not have arrived yet. Now I will immediately gather my troops and go to the first pass with you, and I believe that I can take it back......"
When Xu Shijian was speaking, the pro-soldier who had been standing beside Hu Xiaopeng, wearing a helmet and covering most of his face, suddenly pointed behind him and asked in a surprised tone: "General Xu, who is behind you?" ”
Xu Shijian didn't know what the plan was, but when he looked back, it was empty and there was no movement.
He knew the plan, and when he was about to turn around and draw the knife, he only felt a pain in his throat, and before he could even scream, he fell to the ground and died. His eyes were full of unbelief.
At this time, Niu Jinda Fang pulled back the bloody dagger and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The Zhou army, pretending to be the Wei army behind him, rushed up and killed the panicked and bewildered Wei soldiers.
Cheng Yanjin and Song Jingang calculated the time, and after Niu Jindaqi attacked and won the second pass, they immediately led the main force to rush over like a tiger descending the mountain, and the Wei army realized that the battle just now was not infighting, but the Zhou army came to cheat the pass.
At this time, their main general was dead, and there were no dragons, and when they saw that the Zhou army was overwhelmed, they were all so frightened that their souls were not possessed.
It was not that there had been no enemy to attack before, but even Zhang Xutuo, a famous general of the Sui army, could not even break through the first pass.
But this time, the Zhou army silently touched the door of the second pass, and there were so many of them, it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people, and even recruited personnel from within the Wei army, such as Hu Xiaopeng and others to respond, which was unprecedented.
When the Wei soldiers saw that the Zhou army was so brave, and then saw the bloody corpse of their own commander Xu Shijian, they knew that this battle was lost, and all they were thinking about now was how to escape to the first pass behind as soon as possible in order to survive.
At this time, Cheng Biting Jin was more and more excited, and the more he killed, the more energetic he became. He wielded a Xuanhua axe and cut off a person's head with one axe. In this second pass, in a moment, there were already corpses all over the field, and the blood had already stained the ground inside the wall, and among the boulders and green grass, there were swords and swords everywhere, fighting and screaming.
Blood flows in the breeze, bright and dazzling, and life passes in the morning light, disappearing silently.
The Zhou army relied on the strength of the crowd and quickly seized the wall of the second pass. Then he changed his own soldiers to guard the pass, and after leaving some people to guard the captured Wei army, Cheng Yanjin continued to lead people to the rear.
The Zhou army, dressed as the Wei army, rushed to the front, wrapping red strips of cloth around their hands to distinguish friend from foe, but the Wei army along the way did not know. I only thought that all four of them were our own soldiers disguised by the enemy.
In the fighting, they slashed and killed indiscriminately, injuring many of their companions by mistake, while the Zhou army, disguised as the Wei army, killed people with knives every time, but they actually slashed at the enemy's body......
As a result, this second barrier soon fell as well......
……
In the Black Wind Village, Wang Bodang was not having a comfortable time these days. When he woke up from his dream, he found that the rain had stopped after several days of rain.
Rainy days were the favorite day of the Wei army, which meant that the main force of the Zhou army would not enter the mountains to encircle and suppress, and around the mountains, only some militia groups and recruited recruits would patrol outside. At this time, the Wei army could go out to loot to replenish the loss of materials in the mountain.
Wang Bodang moved away from the woman he had just caught, pressed the snow-white thighs on his body, turned over and sat up.
At present, the Wei army is almost exhausted, and after hiding in this Wagang Mountain, although relying on the six passes and a cottage to defend it, the Zhou army is temporarily unable to attack it. However, the situation on the periphery is getting worse and worse, many mountain villages that were originally in contact with the Wei army have gradually cut off contact, and the supply of materials in the mountains is getting less and less day by day, but the number of soldiers and mountain people who have fled is increasing day by day, which makes Li Mi and him both worried about Zhongzhong.
Moreover, the Wei soldiers who followed complained about the hardships of life in the mountains, and demanded a decisive battle with the Zhou army, striving to rely on the terrain advantage to achieve a victory, and then holding peace talks with Yuming on this basis, and the call for a truce was getting higher and higher. He was a little overwhelmed.
Although he and Li Mi both knew that it was impossible for Yuming to let them go. But it is of little use for them to understand, and it is very difficult to convince so many people with illusions that there is no compromise.
Today, Wang Bodang always feels that something is in trouble, and his eyelids jump. He pinched the female **** who had just been captured, and saw that she was still asleep, and he didn't plan to wake her up.
Uncle Wang got up and got dressed, and was about to walk towards the door, but when he heard a "bang", the door opened.
"General Wang! Big things are wrong! The Zhou army is attacking! By this time, a man had rushed in, panting and reporting to him.
The woman on the bed was also woken up by the scream, she only heard the sentence "Zhou Jun is attacking", and said that Zhou Jun had entered the Black Wind Village, and suddenly screamed in fright, and immediately wanted to turn over and get out of bed, but just lifted the quilt, only to remember that he was now full of **, and he hurriedly retracted into the bed, and his body trembled with fright.
Wang Bodang looked at the door and saw that it was his deputy Jia Xiong. After this person was threatened by him that time, he no longer had the intention of resisting, and he followed him with all his heart and became one of his henchmen.
He knew very well that Jia Xiong was also a stable person, and even he was so panicked, the situation must be very urgent!
"Jia Xiong, what are you panicking about? We still have six passes ahead of us! With the strength of the Zhou army, it would be good to be able to break through the first two. Besides, it's not the first time they've attacked! Haven't they all been repelled before? What's all the fuss? "Wang Bodang is still quite confident in the six passes of Wagang Mountain.
These six passes are built along the mountain, in the form of steps, facing the pass below the mountain is a towering stone wall, which must be climbed by a ladder. Facing the hill is a gentle slope, which can almost be said to be unsafe. The reason why Li Mi wanted to build the pass like this was to prevent the Zhou army from capturing the pass in front, so he used it as a base to go deeper and deeper step by step, compressing the living space of the Wagang army.
