Chapter 182: Burning Black Mountain
With the surrender of Huai County, the remaining counties of Hanoi were also quickly taken. Ryuuji had already taken control of Son Duong County and sent troops to garrison Kwai Cheng to choke Hanoi's main pass to Shang Dang County. Ryuichi also successfully took Makino and mastered the defense line against the Black Mountain region.
Bounded by the Qi River to the east of Chaoge, only Dangyin County and Lin Filter County, where there are more black thieves in Hanoi County, have not been taken. Considering that the main enemies at present were the Shandong princes and Dong Zhuo, Guo Yi ordered Long Yi to stop attacking the Black Mountain region in the north of Chaoge and not to provoke a war with the Black Mountain bandits.
"General, the Montenegrin army sent an envoy to ask for a meeting."
Long Yi had just sent the battle report to Guo Yi, and before the ink on the pen had dried, Zhang Yan sent a messenger. "What are these bandits doing?"
Long Yi is a native of Changshan, and before following Guo Yi to raise troops, he was harassed by black mountain thieves. The first battle of his debut that year was to exterminate the black mountain thieves in Changshan Country. After all, the two sides are also old rivals.
However, Guo Yi had a military order first, and tried not to provoke a war with the Montenegrin thieves as much as possible. Long Yi restrained the disgust in his heart and ordered, "Let them in." ”
The person who came was a man in his thirties, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a long beard, and clothes made of silk, but the workmanship was extremely poor. Dressed in a fur coat, he looks like a hunter.
"I'm poisonous, I've seen the general."
Yu Poison's name, Long Yi had heard it, and he was also one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Thieves, so he arched his hand and asked, "General Zhang sent you, why did you do so?" ”
Yu Poison laughed and said: "Our boss and General Guo are also old acquaintances, and I came here today to let General Guo see the old feelings and give some grain and grass for the winter." ”
Long Yi sneered, looking for me for food and grass, dreaming! He replied: "Our army has been fighting for days, and we are also short of food and grass, so I am about to borrow some from General Zhang." ”
Hearing this, Yu Poison's face fell, and he asked, "Is the general unhappy?" ”
Long Yi was noncommittal and replied: "There is really no surplus food in the army, please report back to General Zhang, I am really sorry." ”
"That's what you said." Yu Poison glared and threatened: "Don't regret it!" ”
Long Yi said indifferently: "The general's words are serious. I have gone through more than 20 battles and killed more than 10,000 enemies, and I have never tasted defeat, but I have never regretted it. ”
"We'll see!" Yu Poison Head left without looking back.
Long Yi quietly ordered, "Send a team to follow him and see where their lair is." ”
The terrain of Montenegro is relatively complicated, and after Zhang Yan was recruited the year before last, even if he has an official rank, he also has regular financial income to run his team, so there should be no shortage of grain and grass. I came to ask for food today, just to give a disadvantage. Since the other party took the initiative to find fault, there is no reason to continue to pretend to be a grandson, first check the situation clearly, and then take him to the nest!
Long Yi thought for a while, "The lord wants to merge with the state, Zhang Yan is entrenched in the area of Taihang Mountain, with 100,000 people, which will be a big obstacle." If we can seize the opportunity at this time and annihilate its main force, we will be worried about the main force. ”
During the night, the Scout returned and handed Ryuichi a rough map.
"General, the enemy army entrenched themselves in Montenegro, and built a new stockade in the valley, called the mountain city. The place is surrounded by mountains and has a small river passing by. The village was being built, and there were many people, and when they stopped working at night, they went back to their homes to rest. The enemy army numbered about five thousand men, but they were equipped with nothing more than ordinary armor and swords, and there was no decent training. Zhang Yan and Yu Poison are all here, and there are five other big and small leaders. They were ready to intercept and kill Han Fujun's grain and grass. In addition, the mountains are full of deciduous plants, and these two days are relatively dry, there is a lot of firewood on the mountain, and there is also a lot of wood in the village. ”
"Okay." In this case, there is no need to think about the battle plan at all, it is simply a battle that can be fought with feet. "Order, send two teams to pretend to be people tomorrow, sneak into the stockade with weapons, and look for an opportunity to capture the thief leader alive. Our army will arrange a fire attack, and then act according to the flag. ”
"No!"
"Give the order to the whole army and cross the river overnight. Prepare fire oil, bows and arrows. ”
"No!"
On the second day, a group of scouts and a group of infantrymen, a total of twenty men, mixed among the people and entered the stockade. Long Yi personally commanded the battle on the front line, and this fire attack, because there were people on his side inside, needed to pay extra attention.
After a while, the construction of the village began, and the people were busy.
"Oops!" Long Yi looked at the situation in the stockade with a telescope, and secretly said that it was not good. Your own deployment is negligent! That group of infantry had no experience in construction, and once they started working, they would look out of place.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense or so, the overseer began to be suspicious. Soon the overseer found out that these people were too strong! Look at the people who are working hard around and have a poor and sour face, which one is not yellow and thin? Which is not short and thin? These twenty people were taller and more powerful than these overseers, and their eyes were full of confidence and pride, and they also had extremely calm expressions on their faces.
"There is a spy !!" The overseer immediately shouted, raised his whip and was about to hit someone.
The scouts were prepared, drew their daggers, stabbed the overseer to death, and shouted, "Run! There is General Guo outside the city to save you. ”
Minfu was frightened by this sudden change and did not react for a while.
The infantry captain scolded, "Young man, you don't know how to do it!" Brothers shout! ”
One of the infantrymen kicked the brazier, the other threw a torch into the pile of wood, and shouted in unison, "Fire!! ”
"It's on fire!"
"Help!"
"Run!"
The people who were still in a daze just now immediately rushed towards the outside of the village like wild horses that had escaped the reins. Where can the overseers stop so many people from rushing together? I could only watch the people run away.
The scout captain complimented, "Brother, good job." ”
The infantry captain said, "Hurry up and find someone." ”
At this time, Long Yi had already given the order to attack, and countless rockets fell into the cottage. Send a small cavalry to ambush on the hillside, and intercept the Black Mountain thieves when they start to flee for their lives.
"General, the fire is too big! Retreat! ”
The raging fire burned from the cottage to the mountain, and the fallen leaves and trees all over the mountain became the best fuel aid, and a forest fire quickly swept dozens of miles!
"No, the brothers inside haven't withdrawn yet!" Ryuichi refused to retreat, still standing on the hillside, oblivious to the approaching fire.
Inside the stockade, the Black Mountain thieves were no longer able to put out the fire, and they began to flee one after another. The soldiers had already arrived in the lobby, and several leaders were directing the retreat, and in the face of such a situation, the group of bandits had only one thought in their minds: run!
"King! Can't run! ”
Many bandits turned back again, and the fire had spread to the entire Black Mountain, and there were fires in all directions, and they couldn't run at all.
And the cottage is in the valley, and with fires all around, it quickly begins to suffer from a lack of oxygen. In addition, many people who were burned ran around, which accelerated the spread of the fire in the cottage.
"Guo Yi Child!!" Zhang Yan stomped his feet angrily, seeing that death was approaching, he could only curse his enemy. "The whole army...... Cough! Cough! Cough! ”
As long as you open your mouth, it will immediately become smoke, and even opening your eyes will be a problem, and it will be even more difficult to breathe.
"This way!"
I only heard a shout, and when I looked up, I saw a group of people with eyes bigger than brass bells leading the way.
"Immortals...... Ahem! Zhang Yan thought that she had seen the immortals, so she didn't want to do anything and followed.
The person leading the way seems to be completely unaffected by the smoke. Everyone else couldn't open their eyes, but they were still walking.
After a while, only the sound of water was heard, and Zhang Yan felt that she had been kicked by someone, and then fell into a river and was swept downstream by the current.
"Immortal help!" Zhang Yan only has immortals in his mind now, and he can't think of anything else.
"Scoop it up!" With an order, Zhang Yan was rudely lifted out of the water. After his eyes adjusted, he saw Guo Yijun in full armor.
Long smiled and said, "General Zhang, don't come unharmed!" ”
