Text Section 429 The Battle of Ambushes
Under the moonlight, the earth was covered with a layer of silver light. Inside the carriage and horse, Wu Faxiu opened the curtain, wrapped in a beast skin blanket in the cold wind and looked ahead. Although there was still a hundred zhang distance between the two sides, Wu Faxiu felt the murderous aura emanating from Duan Lang's body.
Wu Fa Xiu couldn't help but secretly praise, "What a great emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom, such a mighty one, worthy of being the first to be seen today." This son has the help of the bright moon of the Tai, who else in this world can compete with him. ”
The carriage and horse slowly stopped, and Gu Fan returned to the team and stood behind Duan Lang. Wu Faxiu took a deep breath and lifted off the animal skin blanket with both hands. Wu Faxiu stood up and got to the carriage with the help of his own soldiers. Wu Faxiu's straight body stood in the wind, looking at Duan Lang calmly.
A gentle smile bloomed on Duan Lang's face, he stepped forward a few steps, clasped his fists and said, "Duan Lang of the Great Calendar Kingdom, waiting for the prince." ”
Wu Fa Xiu clenched his fists and said politely, "I dare not be ashamed, it is really an honor to meet Emperor Jishan on the night of ice and snow." ”
Duan Lang laughed, "The prince is polite, although it is the first time we have met, if we talk about it, we still have some origins." It is said that the prince once participated in the battle of the Two Realms Mountain, let me ask the prince if you still remember, the shadow commander Duan Tianya? ”
Wu Faxiu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course I remember, although Lao Yu and that Tianya are hostile sides, I also admire his loyalty and bravery. If it weren't for the Shadow Dead's counterattack, the Battle of the Two Realms Mountain might have changed the outcome. ”
Duan Lang clenched his fists and said, "In Xia Bucai, the shadow master Duan Tianya is in the lower grandfather." ”
Wu Fa Xiu looked at Duan Lang in surprise. He didn't know much about Duan Lang, and he always thought that Duan Lang was captured by a small official in the capital city. Unexpectedly, it was actually the descendant of the Shadow Commander Duan Tianya.
Wu Faxiu said with emotion, "Before this king was imprisoned, I heard that the Duan family was destroyed. After so many years, I didn't expect to meet my old friend today. Alas~! Fighting back and forth, in the end, it is not dust to dust. At the beginning, your grandfather assisted Emperor Jian'an of Great Xia and created the glory of Great Xia. But who would have thought that the dignified Great Xia would actually be destroyed at the hands of the descendants of the end of the world. ”
"Lord Wang, the previous things have passed, no matter whether you and your ancestors are friends or enemies, the ancestors have gone to settle down. Now that you and I meet each other, it can be regarded as a kind of fate. But I don't know what the prince has any unique views on the entry of the soldiers and horses of my Dali Kingdom into Moro. ”
Duan Lang looked at Martial Fa Xiu calmly, since the two sides wanted to cooperate sincerely, he had to listen to Wu Fa Xiu's opinion on them. After all, Duan Lang's side was invading other countries, and this knot was untied, and Duan Lang didn't dare to fully trust Wu Fa Xiu. You must know that the ambush plan is also a double-edged sword, which can not only kill Lu Mu, but also in turn can plunge their soldiers and horses into a place of no return.
Wu Faxiu's thin body looked a little thin in the cold wind, but his old face had a tenacity.
Wu Fa Xiu said bitterly, "Emperor Jishan, the old man has no unique opinions. The great and powerful in the world are respected, and this is the way to open up the territory. Jishan Emperor can achieve such a hegemony at such an age, and he is really admired. However, there is a full moon in the sky, and there are times when the moon is missing. The moon alone can't swallow the stars, and the stars can't take away the brilliance of the moon. The companionship of stars and moon is the way of heaven. ”
Duan Lang nodded, "Don't worry, Duan has no intention of devouring the heroes." However, Lu Mu and Zai Xia have a deep grudge, and this account must be settled. ”
Wu Fa Xiu sighed, "There is no shortage of sober people in my Moro court, although the old man has been imprisoned for more than ten years, he can also see the original intention of Emperor Jishan. In the final analysis, it is still that sentence, the strong in the world are respected. If Emperor Jishan is defeated like a mountain, you and I will not have today's covenant. Since we want to cooperate, the old man will abandon his previous suspicions. ”
Duan Lang looked at the eyes of Martial Law Cultivator, and solemnly bowed slightly, "The prince can say this, please accept Duan's courtesy." ”
Wu Fa Xiu smiled faintly, he could get the gift of Emperor Jishan, and he knew that the wariness in the hearts of both parties had been completely eliminated.
"Jishan Emperor, the weather is cold, and the old body is thin, let's go into the car and talk in detail."
Duan Lang smiled heartily, "Duan Mou has this intention, Lord Wang, please." ”
The two men entered the car with smiles on their faces, and the Moro guards guarded around the car. Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others were scattered and guarded in the distance. In the cold wind under the moonlight, a small black dot in the sky kept circling. Flying in the air, he also observed the silver earth.
Duan Lang and Wu Faxiu talked for a long time, and it wasn't until it was about to dawn that Duan Lang got out of the car. Wu Faxiu stood in the car, watching Duan Lang get on the war horse, the two of them hugged each other with affection, Duan Lang took Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others to run quickly in the direction of his camp.
Wu Faxiu returned to the mountain forest, and Xiao Zhicheng and the generals were waiting worriedly. Seeing that Wu Fa Xiu was safe and sound, Xiao Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Faxiu looked a little tired, but he didn't have time to rest, so he immediately summoned the generals and began to set them up.
In the tent that was temporarily erected, Wu Faxiu unfolded the marching map, pointing to the direction of Xiaojian Mountain and telling the ambush plan in detail. After the arrangement, Wu Faxiu summoned the commander of the scout battalion.
In the camp in the mountains and forests, the commander of the scout battalion, dressed as ordinary people, rode a group of thin folk horses and ran towards the city of Mamaia like a down-and-out trader. His task was to convey Wu Faxiu's military orders to the generals in the city. And the time for the implementation of this battle is set for a day later.
In Mamaiya City, Lu Mu, like last time, kept making marks in the march map in the palace. For more than a day, more than 30 scouts did not return. Lu Mu wants to see where these people come from, and he will send more people to investigate these places. Once the traces of Duan Lang's soldiers and horses are discovered, the entire Mamaiya City will pour out.
The Moro soldiers and horses have rich experience in ice and snow warfare, especially the infantry barracks, and have already started to make a lot of skateboards. If it is said that the war horses run wild in peacetime, the infantry battalion can only ride the chariot except by relying on the legs. But in the ice and snow, their ability to quickly counterattack even exceeds that of cavalry battle formations.
In the early morning a day later, Duan Lang's camp began to move, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses advanced unhurriedly towards Xiaojian Mountain. When the soldiers and horses crossed the narrow passage, Zhou Long hugged his fists at the frozen river. There are the heroic souls of the brothers in this, and the reason why Duan Lang chose to do it here is precisely to let these heroic souls see Lu Mu's fate with their own eyes.
Duan Lang's soldiers and horses walked silently from the foot of the mountain, leaving no traces of going up the mountain in the ice and snow. But after the army crossed this narrow passage, Duan Lang immediately ordered to make a detour and go up the mountain on the other side of Xiaojian Mountain. However, some of the troops of the battalions were transferred and remained at the foot of the mountain as the second echelon. And most of these left-behind personnel are recruits brought by Zhang Qifeng. Because they have to lurk in the snow after going up the mountain, they can't expose any targets in advance. Otherwise, the ambush will be undone. Moreover, it will completely expose the army of martial arts cultivation.
In the palace of Mamaiya City, Lu Mu frowned and looked at the marching map. He also wondered why the scouts had disappeared on both the east and west sides. Could it be that Duan Lang separated his forces? Lu Mu was wondering whether to send soldiers and horses to test it, when he saw Man Zhan running in excitedly.
"Lord Dudu, the scouts have discovered the whereabouts of Duan Lang's department." Man Zhan said happily.
Lu Mu's eyes lit up, "Come on, where are their soldiers and horses now?" ”
When Long Mu heard this, he also came over to watch the full battle. Man Zhan pointed to the marching map, "The scout found that they went to the direction of Xiaojian Mountain, and the scout followed all the way, and saw them pass through the passage of Xiaojian Mountain with his own eyes, so he hurried back to report." ”
"Little Sword Mountain?" Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the marching map. Following the direction of his finger, Lu Mu was puzzled in his heart.
Lu Mu thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Passing through Xiaojian Mountain, there are only two directions that are feasible. One is to go straight to my west from the right side, and the other route is to go to the city of Yaks, the capital of Moro. ”
Long Mu's heart was shocked, "It seems that this Lang is going to risk his death." I reckon they probably went to the city of Yaks. At present, the army of Yaksi City is empty, and Duan Lang wants to force His Majesty to surrender. ”
Lu Mu stared at the location of Xiaojian Mountain, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Pass the order, all battalions assemble, and after a stick of incense, pursue with all your might." ”
As soon as the order to assemble sounded, the city of Mamaia seemed to shake as if the whole city was shaking. In the Moro battalion, there is now a shortage of major generals, and Cheng Jiemuchi, who was originally just an ordinary general, has now been promoted to the second person after Long Mu. Cheng Jiemu secretly gave the team leaders a look, which meant to act according to his instructions. In particular, Cheng Jiemuchi's most trusted pro-soldier team also has a special mission.
Lu Mu rode in a four-horse pulley and led the army out of Mamaia City. At the same time, the army of Wu Fa Xiu was also detouring towards Xiaojian Mountain from another road.
At this moment, in Xiaojian Mountain, Duan Lang and the others had already made preparations and quietly ambushed in the mountains and forests. From the narrow passage, there is no trace of entering the mountain at all. Duan Lang sat behind a raised rock, quietly waiting for Lu Mu's arrival. Including Duan Lang, everyone was nervous. They were not cowardly, but worried that Lu Mu did not chase after them.
Tweeted~! There was a chirp of Dafei in the air. Duan Lang perked up and stood up excitedly.
"Order, all battalions are ready, Lu Mu's soldiers and horses have arrived."
Duan Lang gave an order, and the herald passed out the sound of birdsong. At the two ends of Xiaojian Mountain, Zhou Long and Zhou Wu each led 5,000 people to guard. In the middle position, Duan Lang personally led the rest of the men. Although Zhou Long and Zhou Wu's manpower was not manlong, he had already prepared big stones and rolling logs, and only waited for the army to enter the ambush circle before blocking both sides. They still learned this trick from Lu Mu.
Lu Mu led the army, and looking at the messy horse's hoof marks along the way, he could be sure that this was the trace left by Duan Lang's department. According to the width and density of the hoof prints, the soldiers analyzed the approximate number of people. Knowing that Duan Lang had taken everyone away, Lu Mu was relieved.
Seeing that he was about to enter Xiaojian Mountain, Lu Mu ordered to stop advancing. Looking at the snow-covered Xiaojian Mountain, Lu Mu said cautiously.
"Someone, send scouts, and carefully observe all the way along the line to see if there are any traces of going up the mountain."
A group of scouts rushed forward, and after waiting for half an hour, the scouts returned to report, but found no trace of going up the mountain. Lu Mu nodded slightly, and looked at Long Mu.
"Lord Tusi, your Moro Department will go first, and my Xiyue soldiers and horses will press the battle for you."
Long Mu was stunned for a moment, although he didn't want his men and horses to risk in front, but Lu Mu led the entire mobilization of soldiers and horses, and Long Mu could only obey military orders. When Cheng Jiemu Chi heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was thinking about how to ask Ling to take the first step. Lu Mu's order was exactly what he wanted.
Long Mu's more than 30,000 soldiers and horses began to cross the narrow passage of Xiaojian Mountain. This road is backed by mountains on one side and water on the other, and once it is attacked, it will be the same as the last time Zhou Long's department, and there is nowhere to escape.
Lu Mu did not immediately order the army to advance, and after Long Mu's department entered the narrow passage for about half a pillar of incense, Long Mu gave the order to advance. Because Lu Mu knew that their soldiers and horses were elongated, and after they entered, Long Mu's side was already about to reach the exit. In case of any danger, as long as Long Mu's side issued an order, Lu Mu would immediately withdraw and return.
Seeing Lu Mu's army begin to enter, Zhou Long and the others' excited hearts were about to rise to their throats. All the soldiers and horses did not dare to move, for fear of making a noise and frightening each other.
Lu Mu's handsome car was in the middle of the entire team, and his eyes were always fixed on the mountain. I don't know why, as soon as he entered the passage, Lu Mu suddenly felt a palpitation.
"Command, stop advancing."
Lu Mu stood up from the pulley and stared cautiously at the top of the mountain. In Lu Mu's mind, the scene of the last time he killed Zhou Long's department appeared.
Lu Mu said in a deep voice, "Blow the trumpet order, ask the vanguard team, and see if they have walked out of the passage." Tell the battle formation behind you not to enter the passage for the time being. ”
Lu Mu was uneasy, but as long as the two ends were unblocked, he didn't have to worry about any ambush. After all, even if there are rocks rolling down to block the passage, you can use the advantages of soldiers and horses to dredge quickly.
Seeing that Lu Mu's army had stopped moving forward, Duan Lang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. Because Lu Mu had just entered the passage at this time, if it was cut off now, it was very likely that the main forces would flee.
At this moment, Lu Mu suddenly heard the shouts of scouts coming from behind the army, "Lord Dudu, a large number of soldiers and horses were found five miles behind you, and they were under the banner of the commander of Moro. ”
Lu Mu was stunned, "Moro Coach banner?" ”
Lu Mu pondered for a moment, and his face suddenly changed, "It's not good, quickly, blow the trumpet order to withdraw from Xiaojian Mountain, and the rear team will change to the front team, and immediately set up a formation outside the mountain." ”
The hurried order sounded, and Duan Lang saw Lu Mu quickly start to retreat, and he knew that it would be too late to wait. The halberd in Duan Lang's hand suddenly snapped and shouted loudly.
"Summoned Zhou Long and Zhou Wu to block both sides. Zhang Qifeng's department is ready to shoot Lu Mu! ”
As soon as the command sounded in the mountains, in the midst of the ice and snow, one snowman after another stood up. At both ends of the narrow passage, boulders were pried and rolled down with a roar. Immediately afterwards, sections of trees that had already been splashed with pine oil also smashed down.
Lu Mu trembled and looked at the mountains and forests in astonishment.
