Hu Shuo is willing to take the lead in the charge, and his attitude is very resolute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Jun looked at his eyes that seemed to be about to burst into flames, but he didn't agree.

This kind of place where a husband and wife can't open it is not something that a person can rush over with bravery. In the Middle Ages, when there were no thermal weapons, the technical level of warfare may have been higher than that of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, but in the final analysis, the essence is actually the same - filling with people.

This is often the reason why a war lasts for many years, because a hill like this can lead to months of fierce fighting between the enemy and the enemy until one side dies or surrenders.

He knew too well what this fool was thinking, it was nothing more than to fill it with his own life, and then end it in a decent way. This kind of self-reproach is of little practical significance, because it is impossible for Zhang Jun to lose a general in the team he has so hard to build.

Although Hu Shuo has no strategy, he is a good hand at charging into battle. As the most courageous general in the conquest army, he is a sharp knife, and this knife handle is firmly held in Zhang Jun's hands. To put it bluntly, without Zhang Jun, a Hu person like Hu Shuo in the Western Regions would never be able to take the position of a military general in Liangzhou.

Because in these years, they are no better than the strong men and the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Hu people are the most hated and untrusted group. No ruler of any country will be at ease in handing over military power to a foreign race.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, seeing that another round of strong attack by the sergeants of the left battalion of the Hujie Army was repelled by the rocks, Zhang Jun shook his head secretly. It's not because the sons can't get it, but because the bystanders are clear······ They are far from mature enough to be considered an elite.

Even though they were equipped with weapons and armor that were ahead of their time, the people inside had just finished their training after all, and a considerable number of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and even more so, killing for the first time. So it's inevitable that there will be a rush.

Zhang Jun ordered the soldiers to step forward and let Han Hu retreat with his people.

I saw that Han Hu was also sweating in his head, and even his voice was a little hoarse. He said to Zhang Jun: "Governor, attack a few more times, and the last general will definitely be able to defeat it!" ”

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "Although it is inevitable that there will be casualties on the battle array, such sacrifices are worthless. “

He looked at Han Hu, who was unconvinced, and said: "For the generals, it is most taboo to raise troops with anger, you stand aside, wait to calm down, and then think about what it is to judge the situation!" ”

Of course, there was another important reason why Zhang Jun let Han Hu retreat, but he didn't say it: "He is also worried that if he attacks too quickly, the Heavenly Master Dao Disciple will be unfavorable to Nian Nu." But these words hurt morale, so it was up to the generals to experience it themselves.

The attack stopped without warning, and the soldiers of the right battalion of the Longxiang army and the left battalion of the Hujie army just tightly surrounded the entire back mountain and put on a posture of confrontation.

The shouts of killing faded away, but a letter was tied to an arrow and shot down from the mountain. In front of the battle, there were soldiers who were left to observe the enemy's situation and immediately handed them in, and Zhang Jun quickly saw what was written on it: "The Qing girl is the body of a daughter, if the young general wants to save the life of the Qing woman, please give way to it, and let me wait for the mountain to go out, and I will send the Qing girl back to the house." ”

Zhang Jun read it word for word, and he had a trace of curiosity about these so-called Heavenly Master Dao disciples in his heart. Obviously, they didn't want to hurt Nian Nu from the beginning, otherwise they wouldn't have waited for today to take him as a hostage. He secretly speculated in his heart that Heavenly Master Dao should have other purposes for kidnapping his sister.

In fact, Zhang Jun was thinking in the right direction, but he would never have thought that all this was just caused by Cai Yan wanting to meet Nian Nu with an almost equal identity. A woman's mind cannot be deduced by common sense, and sometimes it is often a small thing, but it can make them remember it vividly. Just like at the beginning of the story, Nian Nu came to talk to his good brother, at that time Zhang Jun was still thinking behind closed doors in the house, and he was accompanied by Caiyan every day, so happy.

But when Niannu saw this beauty, she didn't add any color, as if she was transparent. How could a Dao girl who was high up in the Heavenly Master Dao swallow this breath so easily?

Han Hu saw that Zhang Jun frowned and didn't speak, and thought that his own lord was moved, so he said: "Dadudu, Heavenly Masters and Daoists are all demons, they will not keep their promises, you must not be fooled." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Tong also analyzed: "According to their humble duties, they don't dare to hurt the secretary's daughter, otherwise they will have no bargaining chips." ”

At this time, Chen Zhen, Wang Meng, Li Yi, and Cheng Dahu, who came to support, also led their respective soldiers to arrive, and Zhang Jun circulated the letter to them and asked them about their attitude.

All the generals are hard-line main battle factions, and no one wants to ······ with evil Teach negotiation. But this involves the safety of the lady's behavior, so no one dares to speak lightly, and in the end they can only reply together: "It's all up to the governor to deal with." ”

"It's all up to the governor of Pontus!" Zhang Jun was a little dissatisfied with the general's answer, because he didn't see his right-hand man showing the courage to do anything. But after thinking about it, it is too demanding to do so, and if you think about it, when you encounter this kind of thing, it is difficult for you to decide as a subordinate, and it is not an exaggeration.

Zhang Jun didn't really want to back down with the Heavenly Master, they were equivalent to the terror of the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty······ molecules, as long as he does not burn out his brain, it is impossible to compromise with it. But now that Nian Nu is in the hands of others, it is not advisable to be blindly tough, so I can only think of other ways.

The assault will not work, and everyone is anxious. Every moment of delay, the possibility of the Qingnu being hurt will increase, and no one, including Zhang Jun himself, can afford to take this risk.

·············································

For a whole hour, the conquest army was besieging but not attacking. Seeing this, the Heavenly Master Dao disciples guarding above became even more arrogant, and some even walked out of the narrow road and shouted and scolded outside, which was really angry and ridiculous.

Zhang Jun knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he ordered the troops to be careful, and he and Zhou Tong took the cavalry of the right battalion of the Longxiang army around the cliff behind the mountain to check.

His plan was to imitate the method of special operations in later generations, to see if he could climb up from the back mountain and carry out a surprise attack.

When they reached the back mountain, the two teams of cavalry dismounted and tried to climb the shore, but the cliff was too steep and failed several times in a row. Zhang Jun carefully observed the cliff, and saw that the cliff was not high, but it was too steep, with the help of modern pickaxes, safety belts, ropes, iron locks, steel cones, hammers and other mountaineering equipment, he should be able to climb this mountain, but now the soldiers under his command do not have any mountaineering equipment, let alone special operations experience, it is impossible to climb up.

Zhou Tong has been following Zhang Jun, he has a lot of experience in reconnaissance, and he faintly feels that the Heavenly Master Daoist is a plan to shoot the letter, although he can't be sure, he hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't help but say his thoughts: "The Governor of the Great Capital, I think that the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao should be a cunning and cautious person, this kind of person usually does not choose to burn jade, he should leave a way for himself to live." “

"Oh?" When Zhang Jun heard this, he also felt that what Zhou Tong said was very reasonable, so he asked: "Then in your opinion, where is their way of life?" ”

Zhou Tong pointed with a horsewhip, and Zhang Jun looked down, and it was the towering cliff in front of him.

I listened to Zhou Tong explain: "Dadu Governor Mingjian, it is difficult for us to climb the cliff, but it is easy to come down from the cliff." The cliff behind the mountain seems to be a dead end, but it is actually a way to live. If they had lowered the rope from the summit, it would have been possible to escape. ”

Zhang Jun thought for a while, nodded approvingly, and said, "You have a point." He groaned for a moment, and then suddenly thought about it, and said, "Since he wants to attack the east and west, the governor of Pondu will come to try to capture him." ”

Zhou Tong hurriedly said: "Please also ask the capital to supervise." ”

Zhang Jun saw that the woods under the steep cliffs of the back mountain were very dense, and the wild grass was more than one person high, which was a good place to ambush soldiers and horses. Immediately ordered Zhou Tong to take most of the men and horses in the right battalion of the Long Xiang Army, and carefully hide in the grass. And instructed: "If the Heavenly Master Daoist really comes down from here, he will snatch out the lady by surprise." ”

Zhou Tong took the order with his hands and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, the last general will live up to the trust." ”

Everything was arranged here, Zhang Jun led the remaining small part of the men and horses back to the front mountain, and asked the soldiers to shoot back a letter with arrows to the mountain: "I am the general of the conquest, the commander of Guangwu County, the military of the capital and the foreign army, and Zhang Jun, the marquis of the city, if you put down your arms and surrender, you can wait for a way to live, otherwise there is a dead end." ”

After a while, another letter was shot from the mountain: "Major General, if we don't let a road come out, we are willing to die with our daughter." ”

In this way, letters kept shooting up and down the mountain, and there was a war of words. Despite mutual intransigence and hardening of tone, neither side has taken more drastic action.

From this, Zhang Jun further determined that Zhou Tong's idea was correct, and the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao hiding on the mountain must be delaying time, in order to attract the attention of the conquest army to the front mountain, so that they could escape from the back mountain at night.

In order to make the play more realistic, Zhang Jun asked the sergeants stationed in the front mountain to attack the mountain from time to time, and he didn't need to get close, so as not to be damaged, but just stood at a distance and shot with a strong bow and crossbow to put pressure on the Heavenly Master and Daoist disciples.

Monk Li has the demeanor of a general, drinking tea and playing chess with Daoist Zhang at the peak, and letting Jieyi command in the front mountain. He believed that with the natural danger, it would be difficult for the conscription army to attack the mountain for a while and a half, not to mention, the Qing girl was still in their hands, and the Zhang family would not dare to blindly attack.

Sure enough, the attack below was not very intense, and Monk Li was more confident.

Nian Nu was trapped on the mountain, always looking at the scriptures arranged to her by Monk Li with a normal expression. She didn't refuse, she just watched it for a few days as a relief. As the saying goes, it is in the people who make things happen, and it is in the sky that she has done what she should do, and the rest depends on her luck. Cai Yan obviously couldn't count on it, and Nian Nu didn't have any hope for it, she made up her mind that as long as she was humiliated, she would bite her tongue and kill herself.

In the stalemate above and below the mountain, the sky gradually darkened. Coincidentally, the weather changed suddenly at night, and the clouds were thick, and soon he couldn't reach out and lose his five fingers.

Monk Li looked up at the sky, scattered a handful of chess pieces in his hand to the chessboard mountain, got up and laughed and said to Daoist Zhang: "God really help me, Master Zu blesses me!" ”

Daoist Zhang nodded and said: "There is no endless road to heaven, the Zhang family is not popular with the people, and even the heavens are on our side." ”

Apparently, they saw the dark clouds in the night sky that provided them with cover as an auspicious omen.

The two of them did not delay any longer, and directly sent someone to slide down the rope from the back mountain. At this time, although there is moonlight in the sky, the trees behind the mountain are high and dense, the light is dark, and the sight is not very good. However, Zhou Tong and his subordinates had adapted to the light at the bottom of the mountain, and had been staring at the cliff tightly, waiting for the gangsters of the Heavenly Master Dao to come down.

The mountain wind blew the trees rattling. The man fell to the bottom of the cliff, looked around carefully, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he turned back and pulled the rope vigorously. Seeing that the mountain behind him was safe, Monk Li tied the enchanted Nian slave in a basket, wrapped his hands in a cloth, and slid down first. After sliding down, pull the rope, and the person above immediately puts the rope up, lassos the basket and puts it down.

Zhou Tong led the sergeant to lie in the grass, and saw that the two people who went down the mountain first were men, and he stayed under the cliff and did not leave, obviously waiting for something, so he did not rush to give the order.

After a while, he saw something on the rope, and slowly came down, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, he vaguely saw a woman in the basket. Zhou Tong expected that this was the Qing girl, and he didn't hesitate to do so, as soon as he raised his hand, he used the crossbow machine behind him to aim at his subordinates who had been aiming for a long time, and they all tapped the trigger to send out crossbow arrows.

I heard two screams echoing through the valley. Zhou Tong roared and rushed out with a knife, seeing that the rope had begun to pull upward, he went down with a knife and cut the rope. The soldier who followed immediately pounced and pressed the two who were hit by the arrow.

Zhou Tong approached the basket to take a closer look, and found that it was the secretary who fainted inside. He ordered half of the men and horses to continue to guard at the foot of the mountain, and came down to catch one by one, while he took the other half of the horses and brought the Qing Nu and the two Heavenly Master Daoists who were caught to the front mountain.

Zhang Jun didn't know what the situation was in the back mountain, so he kept circling in place while listening to the reports of the various armies taking turns to feint. Suddenly, when the battle was deadlocked, I suddenly heard the sergeant's shout in the distance: "Rescue the princess, rescue the princess." ”

When everyone present heard this, they were all looking forward to it. Zhang Jun personally greeted him, and within a moment, Nian Nu was carried back by him, placed on a stretcher, carried by someone, and urgently sent to the nearest medical hall.

rescued Nian Nu, and Zhang Jun's hanging heart finally let go. He came to the place where the two Heavenly Master Dao disciples were being held, and one of them had already died of his injuries. The other was not seriously injured and was rescued from danger. During the interrogation, he identified the dead person as Monk Li, the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao, and confessed all the before and after the abduction of Nian Nu.

In the early morning of the next day, the conscriptive army did not care anymore and directly set fire to the mountain. In the thick smoke, the Heavenly Master Daoist had no combat power, and was drummed down by Hu Shuo. Since then, the Heavenly Master Daoist Disciple Rebellion has come to an end for several days, but there are still a lot of things to be solved in the future.

Zhang Jun can't take care of these anymore, he eats and lives in the hospital, and has been guarding his sister Niannu, just hoping that he can wake up sooner.
