Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Secret Passage of the Mine
As Huang Feixing and others traveled three miles north, Li Guanlong and others came to several abandoned mines. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the area from Guiyang to Chenzhou, there are many mines, which have been mined thousands of years ago, and many abandoned mines have flowed down. When Li Guanlong saw the mine, he didn't feel strange, but asked suspiciously: "Fei Xing, you are hiding here?" ā
"Just go in and find out!" Huang Feixing didn't say much, just flashed in. Li Guanlong and others hurriedly followed.
When you enter the cave, it is no different from other mines, and there are torches burning on the walls of the cave. After turning a corner, he saw the sentry with the signature holding a brand knife standing guard at the entrance of the cave, Huang Feixing said hello to the sentry, and then walked inside. When he came to a fork in the road, but it was a place to store food, Huang Feixing didn't know what to say to the person in charge, got a few rice crackers, and handed them to Li Guanlong and the two brothers who followed him.
Li Guanlong was really hungry, and he didn't care about how he ate, he swallowed several rice crackers in three times and two times, and choked and stretched his neck. A person next to him took a water bag, and Li Guanlong took a few sips and gasped comfortably.
"Guanlong, let me tell you the truth. Now our Taiping Holy Army has thousands of people, and yesterday they occupied Guiyang. However, the Chenzhou Qing Demon seems to have taken precautions, and it is strictly guarded in the area of Dingguan Pass, erecting many sub-cannons and carrying guns, and there are several Shenwei generals. Brothers, I belong to the former division and battalion, counting the vanguard troops, yesterday our former division and battalion tried to attack Dingguan Pass, and suffered dozens of casualties, but they did not even attack the edge of the pass. Huang Feixing waited for him to finish eating and drinking before telling him about the current situation.
"So, Fei Xing, you are going to investigate, is there a way to bypass Dingguan Pass?" Li Guanlong asked.
"Exactly! Our division commander and good people took pity on us and were unwilling to attack the Qing Demon defense line of Dingguan Pass, but the top was in a hurry, and we must pull out the Qing Demon Defense Line of Ding Guan Pass and let the army behind implement the siege plan. When the good man learned that I was a local, he ordered me to take someone to find a route around Dingguan Pass to the city of Chenzhou. But in this area, I am not as familiar with you, and I happened to meet you again, it seems that this major event is destined to fall on you Guanlong. Huang Feixing said, glanced at Li Guanlong, and continued: "Don't you want to join my Taiping Holy Army?" It just so happens that if you do this well, I will guarantee that you will not only join the Holy Army, but even be directly promoted to the rank of pawn like me, and maybe even the Holy King will summon you. ā
"Really? Fei Xing, don't lie to me like you did when you were a kid! Ahem, don't say it, it's a coincidence, I really know that there is a secret passage to bypass Dingguan Pass. Straight to Li Jiachong outside the city of Chenzhou. Before Li Guanlong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Feixing.
"What? But what you're saying is true?! Is there a secret passage to get around Dingguan Pass?! Huang Feixing grabbed Fa Xiao's shoulder sharply.
"Oh, Fei Xing, you light, what you do with so much strength hurts me to death." Li Guanlong was dissatisfied. "Of course it's true! I'm not done yet. More than a month ago, Brother Liu Daiwei fled to Yongxing Oil Pressing Wei with our miners, but was broken by the army sent by the government, and Brother Liu Daiwei also died tragically. I and more than 100 of my brothers escaped. ā
"Guanlong, you pick a simple word, talk about the secret passage! Where is the secret passage? Seeing Li Guanlong chattering, Huang Feixing couldn't help but be anxious.
"Don't worry. My brothers and I escaped, but we were searched and arrested by the Qing soldiers, hid in Tibet, and were all scattered. Together with these two brothers, I fled to Li Jiachong, outside the city of Chenzhou, and there is a brother named Xiao Li Zi, whose hometown is Li Jiachong. As soon as we recovered from our injuries there, the Qing soldiers in the city came to Li's house to search, and we were about to be caught. ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ Huang Feixing was speechless. After a year of separation, this taciturn hair since childhood became small, and I don't know when it became a chatter!
"Little Plum's father, old plum, hey, take us to a cellar behind his house, and let us escape from the cellar. Hey, guess what, it turns out that this cellar actually leads directly to a karst cave in Lijiachong Mountain, and the deepest part of this karst cave is connected to a mine cave in the next Leopard Chong. Fei Xing, you can't think of it, the three of us actually walked seven miles in the cave. ā
"What? Is there a mine that can be rushed from Lijia to Songjiadong? Great, Guanlong, you kid said so much nonsense, this sentence is the most useful! Go, come with me, I'll take you to meet our handsome and kind people! Huang Feixing was overjoyed, and pulled Li Guanlong to the mine next to him. He knew that as long as he told this amazing news, not only would Li Guanlong's merits not run, but even he would be able to make great contributions!
As a local, he knows the terrain around Chenzhou all the better.
The two cities of Guiyang and Chenzhou are only fifty or sixty miles away, and there are endless mines in between, which is difficult to pass. The only official road connecting the two cities passes through the Dingguan Pass. Because Dingguan Pass faces Guiyang, it is steep and steep, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After hearing that the Taiping army was attacking Guiyang from Ningyuan, the Qing army in Chenzhou set up an earthen wall checkpoint at the Dingguan Pass, arranged strict fortifications, and sent seven or eight hundred soldiers to erect large firearms such as artillery and guns at the Pass to defend it.
If the Taiping army wanted to occupy Chenzhou, they either captured Dingguan Pass or made a detour to Dingguan Pass. And storming Dingguan Pass has proven to be infeasible. In such a situation, the detour of Dingguan Pass has become the key to seizing Chenzhou. Now, Li Guanlong told him that there was a secret way to bypass Dingguan Pass and go directly to Chenzhou City, so it was no wonder that he had a feeling of joy descending from the sky.
Li Guanlong and the other three were taken around the mine by Huang Feixing again, and they didn't know how many forks they had taken. Coming to a hall seems to be a place, but it connects more than a dozen holes together. The hall was brightly lit, and thousands of people sat on the floor, closing their eyes and resting their minds. There were several stools in the middle, and a burly middle-aged man in a yellow robe sat in them.
"Report to the division handsome and kind, Huang Feixing, the commander of the former brigade, has a major military situation!" Facing the burly man in the yellow robe, Huang Feixing looked adoring and respectfully asked.
"Oh, it's Brother Huang! Tell me quickly, what is the important military situation! "The burly man is Chen Tianshi, the former commander of the division. Chen Tianshi joined before the Taiping Holy Army marched into Daozhou, and in terms of qualifications, he was not as qualified as Huang Feixing, but he was full of martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and was a brave general who charged on the battlefield, and won the love of Luo Xuan. Therefore, Huang Feixing and others as subordinates also admired him a lot.
"Shi Shuai and good man, this is my brother Li Guanlong, who grew up together, he is the right-hand man of Liu Daiwei, the leader of the Hui Party, and a while ago he accidentally discovered a secret passage when he was evading the Qing Demon Chasing, which can bypass the Qing Demon Defense Line in Dingguan Pass and pass from Songjiadong to Li Jiachong!" Huang Feixing said eagerly.
"What? Secret Passages! Shuli, Shuli, get the map! "Since Chen Tianshi attended night school in Daozhou for a few days and was educated by the Holy King, he has developed a good habit of looking at maps every time he fights, although he still doesn't know much about the words on the map.
