The empty mountains are lonely, and the cold moon is like a hook. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, the chirping of a night owl pierced the lonely valley in the night, and it became a little more angry out of thin air.

After five days and five nights of non-stop marching, Zulang and his entourage finally came to the south side of the Ape Gorge.

From a distance, the Ape Sorrow Gorge shrouded in night is like a monster's open mouth of blood, wanting to choose people to eat, which is daunting.

Fei Zhan reined in the horse's head, told the soldier to stop, and hesitated:

"Big brother, we have a safe and sound journey, seeing that after tonight, we will be able to reach the top of the chicken coop, this sail boy will definitely ambush us, no one will be seen for a long time, in my opinion, nine times out of ten it will be in this ape sorrow gorge......"

Zu Lang's face was solemn, and he hesitated for a moment and said:

"I also suspect that this sail may be ambushed here, but the stone walls on both sides are steep, and if thirty or fifty agile Han troops can climb up, it is possible that a large number of troops will climb to lurk...... It's simply impossible. ”

Zu Lang continued to analyze: "So I speculate that the Han army may plan to wait for us to enter the canyon and block us back and forth? And we only need to move the most elite troops to the first and last two sections, and when the time comes, the front end will rush out with all the strength, and the end will withstand the enemy's fierce attack, and there will still be a chance to win......"

Fei Zhan groaned: "The risk is still very high...... Can't we take a detour? ”

Zu Lang shook his head: "Behind the cliffs on these two sides are the Barley River and the Hushui River, and once you go around, you can only cross the river from the upper reaches of the Hushui River, and then go around in a big circle and enter the mountain from the northern entrance of Baibi Mountain, which will take at least five more days......

Zu Lang continued with a sad face: "Now that Zhang Fan has burned the houses and grain in the Eighteen Villages, more than 30,000 of our ethnic groups have been displaced, and we have no food to eat...... Even if I wait, they can't afford to wait! Please, don't take a long detour! Big brother, please please, okay? ”

Fei Zhan still hesitated, and glanced at the cliffs on both sides like knives and axes, believing that this was indeed not something that ordinary soldiers could climb up, but he was still a little worried about the ambush of the Han army.

Fei Zhan is different from Zu Lang, those people in Baibi Mountain are Zu Lang's clansmen, but they have nothing to do with him, he helped Zu Lang out of righteousness, and he helped each other according to the agreement.

But it doesn't mean that he is willing to bury the lives of his siblings for those who have nothing to do with him. So he hesitated at this time......

Zu Lang knew Fei Zhan's mind well, but he didn't want to criticize anything. After all, the reason why he took such a big risk was because the other side of the canyon was full of his relatives and clansmen, and without them, he would have no foundation.

If he can't save the family and clan of the soldiers behind him this time, then these soldiers will probably never die for him again in the future, and then he will become a real loner.

Rather than this, he would rather die a glorious battle, or at least have a good reputation for sacrificing his people to save his people.

But now that he only has 3,000 troops left in his hands, if Fei Zhan's 3,000 soldiers don't go to Baibi Mountain with him now, his army has no way to take Zhang Fan at all.

Just when Zu Lang was racking his brains and thinking about how to persuade Fei Zhan not to take a detour, suddenly there was a commotion in the rear-

When Zu Lang and Fei Zhan looked back, an embarrassed Shanyue soldier knelt down in front of Zu Lang and handed him a letter to him:

"Great Sect Marshal, please hurry up and send troops to rescue our Sect Marshal ......"

"Bring the torches!"

Hearing Zu Lang's order, one of Yamakoshi's personal guards brought the torch closer, and Zu Lang finished reading the letter by the light of the torch, the expression on his face was both a little heavy and a little relieved, and he felt extremely entangled.

Fei Zhan couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

Zu Lang said with a strange expression: "You must not guess...... Peng Dan was ambushed by Zhang Fan personally led an army in Gulang Mountain......"

Fei Zhan was so overjoyed that he almost laughed out loud. Because he knew that Zhang Fan only had a total of eight or nine thousand troops, and it was definitely impossible to divide the troops now. Peng Dan still has 6,000 people under his command, and the two people here add up to 6,000 people. If Zhang Fan divides his troops, it is very likely that he will be broken by each one. He wouldn't be so stupid.

Since Peng Dan was ambushed, doesn't it mean that his side is safe?

Fei Zhan hurriedly asked, "How many people ambushed them?" ”

Zu Lang replied: "Peng Dan's letter said that the other party's entire army is dispatched, including cavalry, and there must be no less than 8,000 people......"

Fei Zhan slapped his thigh and said happily: "Great! There won't be enough people to ambush us with that sail...... Could it be that he dispatched more than a thousand people to ambush us? Isn't that looking for death? ”

Hearing this, the Shanyue soldier who was kneeling on the ground stiffened, and pleaded bitterly while kowtowing hard:

"Great Sect Marshal, please hurry up and send troops to save my clan Sect Marshal! If you don't save it, it's too late......"

Zu Lang brought the torch closer, took a closer look at his face, and asked in surprise:

"You're the one...... Mo Ya? Right? Peng Dan's deputy commander of the guard? ”

"Yes, it's me. Please also ask the great marshal to save us for the sake of my clan's marshal who has come all the way to help the fist! ”

Zu Lang was in trouble all of a sudden, so it was reasonable that he should rush to rescue Peng Dan at this time, but now Zhang Fan's attention was focused on Peng Dan, what did it mean?

It means that the Han army in Baibi Mountain must have all withdrawn, and it must be a smooth road to rush back to Baibi Mountain now. As long as you rush back now and coordinate the deployment of various materials, your people still have a very good chance of surviving......

But if you turn the horse's head and rush back to support Peng Dan now, it is difficult to say whether it will be too late, after all, it will take at least six hours to rush to Gulang Mountain from here. With the combat effectiveness of the first victory battalion, it is possible that the fighting has long ended during this period.

If this is the case, not only will it not help to bring people over, but it will also make your own soldiers entangled by Zhang Fan, and there will be no chance to rush back to rescue your own people......

With morality on one side and family affection on the other, Zu Lang was destined to have to choose one of the two, and he fell into a difficult choice.

Fei Zhan saw Zulang's embarrassment and took the initiative to relieve him:

"Humph! I'll declare it first! Anyway, I will never save Peng Dan...... That bastard is purely to blame. As soon as he heard that Zhang Fan had set foot in the eighteen villages one day, his heart suddenly became empty. This time he asked the two of us to go first, and he was slow behind ......"

The more Fei Zhan spoke, the more excited he became: "Huh? What do you mean? Isn't this a clear refusal to contribute? He had already decided in his heart that we were doomed, and he was waiting to collect the corpses for us and go home! Since he was unkind in the first place, don't blame us for being unjust......"

Fei Zhan looked back at the soldiers and shouted, "Brothers, my eldest brother still wants to go back to save Peng Dan's bastard, do you want to go?" ”

"Don't go~Don't go~Don't go~"

At first, only the soldiers under Fei Zhan's command shouted, and the soldiers under Zu Lang's command also shouted, and there were more and more soldiers shouting that they would not go, and almost all the soldiers were unwilling to turn back to save Peng Dan.

The soldiers under Fei Zhan's command are reluctant to go, because the relationship between Fei Zhan and Peng Dan is tense, and now they are tired and have to take care of themselves, so they still have the strength to save others? The soldiers under Zu Lang's command were reluctant to go, of course, they wanted to see the relatives whose fate was uncertain in Baibi Mountain as soon as possible, as for Peng Dan...... him!
