Volume 2: The Journey Begins, the Battle of Dongtu Chapter 162 Caught in a trap, Qingcheng seeks again
According to the information provided by the wind and the dragon saddle left outside the Yulin, Qingcheng concluded that the king of the northern frontier must have fled into the Yuliu forest, and the Yunlong army had already chased in, perhaps, at this time, the two sides were already at war, and the king of the northern frontier was outnumbered and in urgent need of support.
Thinking of this, Qingcheng didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to be rectified and galloped to the aid of Yuliulin. Hurricane and Zheng Xian were very confident in Qingcheng's judgment, and with the dragon riding saddle as evidence, they were even more convinced. And just when they finished rectifying and were about to leave, they suddenly found that Qingcheng seemed to be in a deep thought.
Seeing this, the two glanced at each other, and then Hurricane stepped forward and said, "Young master, the brothers are ready to leave at any time. ”
After being reminded by the wind, Qingcheng came back to his senses, frowned, glanced at the soldiers, and then asked worriedly: "Wind, this time the king of Northern Xinjiang was attacked, Yunlong did it neatly and quietly, the guards of the forbidden army were all destroyed, and the whereabouts of the prince are unknown." In your opinion, is there really an internal ghost within our army, or in Penghu City? ”
was suddenly asked about this by Qingcheng, and the wind seemed a little unclear. Not only Qingcheng's current attitude, but more importantly, Hurricane felt that the former did not seem to be in a hurry to support the king of Northern Xinjiang, but instead calmed down and talked to him about the traitor. However, Storm has a straightforward personality and never doubts Qingcheng's judgment, so he didn't think about it for a long time, but replied directly: "It stands to reason that things have developed to this point, if there are no ghosts in Penghu City, I don't believe it anyway." What kind of character is the king of Northern Xinjiang, that is in our Daqi, but he is the god of war who is as famous as the handsome man (Duan Feiyan). If it weren't for the fact that there were spies inside and a strong enemy outside, it would have been impossible to force him to such a point. ”
The wind didn't think about it, so he could have this answer, which made Qingcheng even more worried after hearing it. After he was silent for a moment, he sighed and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the conspiracy and meticulous planning, how could Yunlong intercept and kill my Great Qi Frontier King so smoothly?" Such a simple truth, how could the prince not know. ”
Hearing Qingcheng say this, the wind raised his eyebrows, as if he had an understanding. He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Does the young master think that the king of Northern Xinjiang must have also expected the matter of the inner ghost, so the dragon who rode the saddle left behind was a little inconsiderate?" ”
Seeing that the wind actually said it to the point, Qingcheng chuckled lightly and said, "Yes, you 'stuffy head' can be regarded as able to think and make good decisions." ”
"Hehe, I've been following the young master for so long, if I can't figure this out, wouldn't it be an insult to your prestige young master? Besides, I've often asked Thunder Shadow for advice. ”
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled. When the wind reached the point, Qingcheng nodded lightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "With the mind of the king of Xinjiang, when he was attacked, he must have guessed the matter of the inner ghost, how could he act so carelessly?" If this thing is really a secret message left by the prince, if it is found by the inner ghost and then used to use it, wouldn't it just be able to lure the reinforcements to a dead end? And if this object is accidentally lost in the fight, it will never be left to this day. Don't forget, the enemy leader of the prince who came to intercept and kill was Yunlong Xipeng General. Because of the perennial confrontation, if you want to talk about the understanding of the dragoons, Yun Longpeng will even far surpass more than half of my generals. The man must have known the story of the saddle, and must have thought that it would attract reinforcements, so how could it fall into our hands so easily unless they had already laid an ambush? ”
Qingcheng analyzed it, and after hearing it, the wind suddenly realized that he was afraid. He recalled the scene of the right talent, indeed, the dragon riding saddle was left on the side of the road, although it was not conspicuous, but it was not the slightest cover, and it was indeed a little easy to get it.
And as Qingcheng said, the enemy leader who came to intercept and kill the king of Northern Xinjiang, but the commander of the Yunlong Xipeng Army, one of the four great generals, regardless of his talent or understanding of the dragoon, would never miss such important objects, so that the reinforcements of Daqi could easily confirm the whereabouts of the king of Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, there is fraud in this matter, perhaps it is not the king of Northern Xinjiang who is waiting in Yuliulin, but the trap of Yunlong.
"Looking at the situation here, it is clear that Yunlong acted cautiously and meticulously, and even did not let go of the path in the forest where the battle was fighting, and even laid a trap and ambush...... No, the cloud dragon set up an ambush here, and it was reminded by the mysterious man. ”
Qingcheng suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten the mysterious person who reported the news, yes, Yunlong knew how to set up an ambush here, didn't he receive a reminder from that person?
"This person is thoughtful, wise, and has helped many times, and he must also be my great person. With his knowledge and mind, how could he not know the allusion to this saddle? However, his letter did not directly mention the prince's escape into the Yuliu Forest, did he not see this saddle? No, never. In this way, there can only be one answer, that is, he doesn't believe that the prince fled into the jade forest! ”
Thinking of this, Qingcheng was even more convinced of his conjecture. He pondered for a moment, remembered the situation of Tongyuan Mountain mentioned by the wind, and secretly thought to himself: What is the point of leaving only a small army to guard the mountainside above Tongshan? If the reinforcements really arrived, wouldn't they be sent to death in vain? 'Tongshan Yulin, there must be a place', that is, Yunlong has not confirmed the whereabouts of the prince. Therefore, there must still be enemy troops in Tongshan, and the team on the mountainside, on the one hand, is to send away the ordinary people who pass by, and on the other hand, is it to lure the snake out of the hole?
Thinking of this, Qingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said firmly: "This thing is definitely not a secret message deliberately left by the prince, it must be Yunlong's conspiracy." And the group of Yunlong Army on Tongyuan Mountain should have deliberately guided us up the mountain, in a vain attempt to lure out the prince! ”
Hearing this, the wind was startled, and after thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "What does the young master mean is that Yunlong has not yet discovered the whereabouts of the King of Xinjiang, so he intends to bring reinforcements to try to lure us out of the King of Xinjiang?" ”
"That's right", Qingcheng nodded and explained: "The prince has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has never seen any battles, with his means and experience, if he wants to hide, the Yunlong Army will definitely not find out his whereabouts so smoothly, therefore, regardless of Tongshan Yulin, what we see is just an illusion created by the Yunlong Army, in a vain attempt to lure out the prince with reinforcements, and then catch them all." ”
Yunlong Xipeng General, although Qingcheng has never fought with him, but this person is high and powerful, and he is in charge of an army, so he must also be a general. According to Qingcheng's guess, that person must have expected that the one who came to support the king of Northern Xinjiang would only be the nearest army of the Western Expedition. However, the Western Expeditionary Army had limited strength, and the Nanpeng Army was pressing the border in front of it, so it would never raise troops to come here to rescue the king of Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, it will only be a small force, so there is no need to worry about reinforcements. Then, if you can use this support army to lure out the old king of Northern Xinjiang, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop, it will naturally be the best result.
Thinking of this, Qingcheng suddenly realized that perhaps, even the person who supported the king of Northern Xinjiang would be him Duan Qingcheng, which was also expected by the Yunlong Xipeng general.
"In the army of the Western Expedition, the only one who can suppress Yunlong is Brother Liu, so he must not leave Huihe. Besides, since the Wind God Valley has come out, how can I, the descendant of the Falling Thunder Gorge, not come? It seems that all this has long been in the calculations of others. If this were the case, if it weren't for the help of the mysterious man, I'm afraid that I would have been in trouble......"
Thinking like this, Qingcheng let out a sigh of relief, and then his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said firmly: "On Tongshan, there are many dark holes, which are not easy for the army to fight, but it is convenient to hide in guerrillas. Therefore, from the beginning, I thought that the prince would hide there. There is no obstruction outside the Yuliu Forest, which means that there are no soldiers in the forest to investigate, and there is no worry about the reinforcements detecting. On the contrary, on the Tongyuan Mountain, there is really a hidden killing machine. Hmph, Admiral Yunlong, he really has some ability. Since you want to use me to lure out the prince, and then catch it all, okay, I'll make a plan to see who kills the deer! ”
Hearing this, the wind heard Qingcheng's intentions, so he asked: "Does the young master want to go up to Tongyuan Mountain, lead out the king of Xinjiang, and then join forces to fight back against Yunlong?" However, if we pretend to be the Yunlong Army, the King of Xinjiang may not show up to recognize us. What's more, if there is really an ambush on the mountain, it will be thousands of enemy troops, and there will be Yun Longpeng and the masters of Fengshen Valley to suppress the formation, and we will be more than a hundred people, and we must be nine deaths. The wind is not afraid of death, but the young master bears the honor and disgrace of the Duan clan, and he must not risk his life. ”
That's right, if Qingcheng is not bad, then Tongyuan Mountain must be very dangerous. On the side of the Qi army, there are only two generals, Qingcheng and the king of Northern Xinjiang, but on the other hand, Yunlong, there are not only the main formation of generals like Xipeng who are not inferior to Qingcheng, but also many masters of Fengshen Valley to help.
Qingcheng naturally understands this truth, and he also doesn't want to risk his life. However, the safety of the king of northern Xinjiang is related to the trend of the war in the west, and it cannot be worse. Therefore, Qingcheng fell silent and began to plan to rescue the king of Xinjiang.
Zheng Xian saw that the team had been assembled, but Qingcheng still did not give the order to move, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he stepped forward and was about to ask, but was stopped by the wind reaching out and shaking his head, telling him not to disturb Qingcheng.
"If you want the prince to appear, you must meet in your real body, but this will definitely attract the Yunlong Army to intercept and kill. If, at the same time that the real body can lead out the prince, Yunlong will not be aware of it, and even be used by me and fall into the trap, it will be the best of the strange soldiers. My father once said, 'The so-called strange soldiers, one of which the enemy does not expect; They are placed in front of the enemy, but they cannot see through their true intentions, and regard the most dangerous plan as the simplest use of troops, and if they are taken by surprise, they will be able to attack them unprepared.' Since Yunlong intends to use me to lure out the prince, then I must really go up the mountain to lead them into the game. However, I don't make a surprise move, I only use it to lure the enemy, and the most critical secret move can be handed over to the wind and them......"
Qingcheng already had a plan in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. When he saw Zheng Xian approaching, he asked, "Zheng Xianfa, among your subordinates, are there any of you who understand Yunlong's language?" ”
"General, the villain's family used to do business in the north, and traveled back and forth between my Daqi and Yunlong, and then the family fell in the middle of the road, and there was no need to worry about it, so he joined the army, so the villain understands Yunlong language."
Hearing this, Qingcheng was slightly pleased and ordered: "This is very good." I made a mistake in judgment and almost let the brothers fall into the trap of the enemy. Now, I have redesignated the battle strategy, and I need the two of you to remember every word I said, and help each other wholeheartedly, so that we can rescue the prince and retreat. ”
Qingcheng said, Hurricane and Zheng Xian glanced at each other, and both of them heard the seriousness and worry in the former's tone, so they didn't hesitate, and replied with their fists clenched: "Please show the general!" ”
"First of all, please send two people to Penghu City and Tonghuan City in the south of Yuliu Lin, respectively, and then ......"
