Chapter 444: Dangerous Breath
"No whereabouts of Su Ren yet?" Wu Zhu was a little angry, and his brows furrowed into Chuanzi.
Zhi Cheng knelt on the ground: "No, the subordinates have sent a large number of scouts, and they searched carefully for twenty miles around Crouching Tiger Ridge, but they did not find their reinforcements. ”
"These Han people didn't advance further when they arrived at Wohu Ridge?"
"Yes, they have been camping in Crouching Tiger Ridge, in addition to training troops every day, they are repairing the camp, and they don't go out, and they haven't even sent scouts for the past two days!"
Wu Zhu held his head and began to think, and no one around him dared to disturb him. The abnormal actions of the Han people made Wu Zhu scratch his head, and if the Han people wanted to fight with themselves in Crouching Tiger Ridge, no one would believe it. Wu Zhu led 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, and the Han army in Wohuling was only 2,000 people, and the chances of winning a battle like 1 to 10 were not good.
Wuzhu pondered for a long time, and motioned to Zhi Cheng to get up: "Give you 3,000 men and horses, go to Crouching Tiger Ridge, since the Han people have no reinforcements, take advantage of this opportunity to destroy them." ”
The new prime minister hurriedly said: "The king thinks twice, the Han people have not started a war with us, if we start in advance, it will definitely cause the Han people to be angry, if they send an additional army to come, we are afraid that Minyue will not be able to resist." ”
"Afraid of what? The king can rest assured that his subordinates will do it neatly, and no one will be able to find any clues! Zhi Cheng was dismissive.
The prime minister glared at Zhi Cheng: "But Crouching Tiger Ridge is originally my Minyue border, even if it is secret, the Han people will still blame us." ”
"The Han people entered our country first, is it possible to let the Han people stay in our country?" Zhi Cheng didn't want to let it go at all: "The king doesn't have to listen to what this old guy says, the ministers must handle this matter properly." ”
Wuzhu listened quietly, and as soon as Zhi Cheng's words were finished, the minister wanted to refute, but was interrupted by a cough from Wuzhu: "Aren't they just a few Han people!" Since they are provocative, how can they ignore the reason, Zhi Cheng is not too ruthless to go, tell them to leave my Minyue, if you don't listen and then it's not too late, remember, be sure to do it cleanly! ”
Zhi Cheng hurriedly clenched his fists: "Oh! The subordinate understands! ”
Li Danghu stayed in Crouching Tiger Ridge for three days, and he didn't wait for Su Ren's men to come, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Before leaving, Su Ren made it clear that his two thousand soldiers and horses were the vanguard army, and this road was also the closest road to Minyue Wangcheng, even if Su Ren's army walked slowly, there should be news in three days.
Li Dang rushed into the battle, grabbed the kettle and poured it violently, and the young man ran for a day, sweating all over, and his hair was already sticking to his face. Li Danghu looked at Li Dang: "Drink slowly!" ”
Li Dang drank half a pot in one go, and took a breath: "Those Yue people are really persistent, this time they have already lurked around our camp, fortunately we found it in time, otherwise they would have been able to get in." ”
"How many?"
"Quite a few!" Li Dang took another sip: "Big brother, when will Su Changshi and their men come?" I always feel that Yue Ren's actions these days are very abnormal, there will be no problem, right? ”
Li Danghu smiled slightly: "You can also see it?" ”
Li Dang smiled: "I am also a descendant of the Li family, although I haven't followed my father to the battlefield much, but I also know things on the battlefield." ”
Li Danghu lovingly touched Li Kang's head. The eldest brother is the father, Li Danghu is much older than Li Kang, and he has always liked his third brother, and this time he came out to let Li Dang feel the war. As a boy from the Li family, sooner or later he will have to go to the battlefield, and there is no harm in experiencing it in advance.
"Have all the scouts been sent out?"
Li Dang nodded: "It's all sent out, we are not far from the army of Wuzhu, if they find out, it will be difficult to do." ”
"Already discovered? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many enemy scouts coming to spy on us. ”
"Ahh So what to do? Su Changshi's men and horses haven't come yet, in case Wuzhu sends troops over, wouldn't we ......"
Li Danghu looked at Li Kang: "Scared? My Li family boy has never been afraid! ”
Li Dare lowered his head. Li Danghu continued: "Our purpose is to attract the attention of Wu Zhu, so that we can give Su Ziheng more time, this matter has been planned for a long time, you haven't thought about it, why have we stayed in this Crouching Tiger Ridge for so long?" Why was such a camp built in Crouching Tiger Ridge? Knowing that this place is very close to the army of Wuzhu, still want to go this way? You haven't thought about these things? ”
Li Dang suddenly realized and raised his head: "Su Changshi has already led his troops to the Minyue Royal City?" ”
Li Danghu nodded: "Now you understand, right?" Only Su Ziheng and I know about this matter, and we must not leak it out! ”
Li Dang nodded again and again: "Don't worry, big brother, I'm going to rearrange the manpower, strictly guard against it, and never let the Yue people break in!" ”
Su Ren took a sip of water, the weather was too hot, there was no shelter around, and the wind blowing over was hot. The group set off early in the morning, and by noon it was too hot to go. Heat stroke is a trivial matter, and the further you go, the more crowded the villages, and it is not easy to avoid them. If any of these Yue people ran to report and put Wang Cheng on guard, their plan would fail.
"Long history, the last general thinks that he can send someone to slaughter all the villages he passes, so as to ensure that no news is leaked!" Han said that he made a suggestion.
Shi Bao nodded: "This is a way!" ”
Hawking slapped Shi Bao on the back of the head, pointed at Han and said, "He's crazy, you're crazy too?" Those are all people, kill them when they say they say, you don't have a few good things in Yuanshan! ”
Shi Bao smiled: "Don't kill, do you want a way?" ”
"I, I don't, big brother must have!"
Several people turned their heads to look at Su Ren. Su Ren was very helpless, according to his meaning, this would be shirtless, but this is Yuedi, and as soon as he expressed this idea, he was rejected by Huang Shisan. Not only was he dressed neatly, but he also found a heavy iron armor for him to wear, and there were many helmets and cloaks.
"You can't do murder! After pacifying and destroying the Yue Land, these Yue people are our people, we can't wait for us to finish the war, this place has become a wasteland, what do you say we are fighting for? ”
Cui Jiuming leaned back and lay down more comfortably: "For hundreds of years, there is not much difference between the Yue and the Han people, not so much that they are Yue people, but rather that they are Han people, and it is ominous to kill." ”
Su Ren thought for a while: "Hawking obeys!" ”
Hawking hurriedly stood up: "The last general!" ”
"Order you to lead all the cavalry and a thousand infantry troops first, and you must arrive at the Minyue Royal City within three days and attack immediately!" Su Ren thought for a while and said, "Bring those things, if you don't open the city gate, blow up the damn!" ”
"Whoa!"
Hawking's face was full of smugness, he grimaced at Shi Bao, and happily walked out of the tent.
Cui Jiuming nodded: "This method is good, even if someone wants to deliver the news, it will not be faster than the cavalry, we are in a hurry now." ”
Su Ren said to Han again: "Captain Han, we will also set off immediately, we don't have to hide from those villages, we will go straight to the royal city day and night, and those who dare to resist will be killed wherever we pass!" Do you understand? ”
"The last general commands!"
The army set off and quickly pounced on Wohuling, led by Zhi Cheng, the general of Minyue. For this attack, Zhi Cheng didn't pay attention to it at all, in the jungle, the Han people are by no means the opponents of the Yue people, no matter what method the Han people use, don't want to escape from their pursuit, not to mention that he has 3,000 soldiers and horses this time, and the Han people are only 2,000.
Taking advantage of the night, Zhi Cheng's men and horses arrived at Wohu Ridge. The scouts came to report that the Han people in Crouching Tiger Ridge had rested and were ready to attack at any time. Zhi Cheng laughed: "God help me, these idiots are looking for death and preparing to attack!" ”
Li Danghu did not sleep, and sat in his big tent studying the map. Li Dang was lying on the edge of the table, his snoring had already gotten up, he must be too young, and it was normal for him to be sleepy after a busy day. Untie your cloak and cover it for Li Dang. Li Danghu once again focused his attention on the map. Crouching Tiger Ridge is indeed a good place, a large flat land on the mountain beam, only two roads can be crossed, and the left and right sides are all dense jungle.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Yue people did not disturb these days, Li Danghu ordered people to cut down trees and built a small camp in Wohuling, with watchtowers, shooting holes, and walled gates. If in a few days, Wu Zhu still hasn't moved, he is ready to seduce him. According to the calculation of time, Su Ren's army is about to arrive in the Minyue Royal City, and he only needs to hold on for a few more days, even if he does not have great ability, it will be useless.
"Woo Woo ......"
Li Dang woke up at once: "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Li Danghu also heard the movement outside, and some soldiers hurriedly rushed into the big tent: "Sima, the enemy is attacking!" ”
"How many?"
"About three thousand, all in the direction of the Zhaimen, have sent people to block it!"
Li Danghu frowned: "Order the whole army, strengthen vigilance, guard against the enemy and have backup!" Once the gate can't be carried, ignite it immediately! ”
"Whoa!" The soldier agreed, turned around and ran out the door. Li Dang also chased out with a sword.
The fire outside the account was soaring, and the fires and torches illuminated the camp brightly. The shouts of killing came and went, and the Yue people frantically attacked the camp. Thanks to the full preparation and the sturdy construction of the camp, there is no good way to get people out for a while.
Zhi Cheng's face darkened: "How did you do it?" Didn't break through the gate for so long? ”
The general hurriedly said: "The Han people are well defended and the camp is strong, so it is not easy to capture it for a while!" ”
"It's not easy to capture, but you have to capture, the Han people have few soldiers, press all the soldiers and horses, be sure to capture the Han camp before dawn!"
"Whoa!" The general personally stepped forward to press the formation, forcing the soldiers to keep coming forward.
The halberd in Li Kang's hand suddenly stretched out from the gap in the wall, and stabbed into the belly of a Yue man, and the guy fell off the wall without saying a word. There are more and more people, and there are crowds of people outside the wall. Li Dang threw away the halberd and shouted: "Set fire, set fire!" Everyone retreats to the back! ”
As soon as he lay down on the wall, a wave of heat immediately hit, the raging fire engulfed everything, and the miserable screams outside the camp made people's hearts tremble. Li Dang let out a sigh of relief and glanced at his brother who had escaped death: "Go!" Go to the second wall! ”
