Li Shaobin's inner struggle and pain, unable to speak to others, naturally not many people can know, good at hiding the true thoughts in his heart, joy and anger are invisible, it is a compulsory course to become a big man, but the price of doing so is that joy, anger and sorrow can not be shared with others, even if the taste is a thousand times, you can only bear it silently, which is also an indispensable part of becoming a big man.

When Li Shaocheng issued a similar life unsatisfactory thing, seven or eight out of ten, and he couldn't talk to people, a hundred miles west of Zizhou City, in Longmen Mountain, the gentlemen and the Xichuan army had also begun to fight to the death.

The three thousand soldiers and horses of the gentleman are divided into three roads, and there are thousands of soldiers and generals on each road, each guarding a road, and Lin Ying is responsible for the southernmost road. Here, they will have to face reinforcements from Xichuan from the direction of Jintang County.

Although Lin Ying suffered a defeat in Jingnan two years ago, he is not an incapable person, otherwise it would be impossible to climb from an ordinary soldier to the position of a gentleman commanding an envoy.

This time he was ordered to guard the southernmost mountain road, Lin Ying did not just defend the mountain pass, he arrived at Longmen Mountain, and quickly rushed into the mountain, until the scout reported that it was only fifteen miles away from the Xichuan army, and then he divided the soldiers and horses into three parts, which were arranged in the three mountain passes that were selected in advance and then surveyed all the way.

From east to west, they were guarded by 400, 300, and 200 men.

Then Lin Ying led the remaining 100 people to welcome the Xichuan reinforcements in a grand manner, buying time for the three soldiers and horses to arrange fortifications.

The southernmost mountain road in Longmen Mountain is the shortest distance from east to west among the three mountain roads, adding up to only more than 30 miles, and it is less than 40 miles when it is full. Lin Ying led 100 soldiers to bid farewell to the 200 comrades who had finally set up interception fortifications, and not long after they broke through to the west, they encountered the vanguard scouts of the Xichuan reinforcements.

Not all mountain roads are rugged paths on the mountain, and there are also official roads that pass through the mountains, and the official roads built at the foot of the mountains are not a problem with wide roads and horses, but they meet on narrow roads. When he saw the Xichuan scout, Lin Ying didn't say a word, pulled out the horizontal knife, and accelerated to rush forward.

There was no greeting and no shouting, before the Xichuan scouts could react, Lin Ying had already led the crowd to rush to the front, and when the distance between the two sides was still more than ten steps, the horizontal knife in Lin Ying's hand had not yet been raised, and several crossbow arrows were shot out behind him, with a few groans, a straight line was drawn in the air in a flash, and it was nailed to the chest of the Xichuan scout in an instant.

Ordinary scouts generally do not wear armor, and those who wear leather armor are a minority, in the face of the crossbow arrows that are close at hand, how can they have half a point of defense, once they are shot, they will hurt their muscles and bones, and those who are shot at the key point are seriously injured and killed on the spot, and the arrows are very strong, piercing the chest and entering the body, and the horsemen will be taken on the back of the Pegasus and fall to the ground.

Lin Ying and others rode into the Xichuan scout group, slashed with horizontal knives, and the Xichuan scouts fell one after another, and some of them fell on the road and did not die, and they were also made up by the gentlemen and soldiers one by one.

After the hundred horsemen passed through, there was no one left alive in the Xichuan scouts, only the war horses that had lost their owners were at a loss. Gentlemen will naturally not forget these war horses, compared to scouts, the value of war horses is not much better, the gentlemen at the end of the queue generals, skillfully took the reins of the war horses, and integrated into the queue with the war horses.

If he killed several waves of scouts of the Xichuan Army, the whereabouts of Lin Ying and others were also known to the Xichuan Army. When there were still a few miles away from Xichuan's main force, Lin Ying and the others ran into hundreds of Xichuan horsemen who came to clean up the passage.

"them!" When he saw this batch of Xichuan elite riders, Lin Ying was not afraid, and it was still Yang Dao who caught up, the only difference was that he finally raised the round shield on the side of the saddle.

The two armies encountered each other in the mountain road, and when they turned the bend and saw each other, they were no more than twenty or thirty paces apart. At this distance, when the lethality of the arrows was greatly increased, both sides were elite, and the soldiers raised their bows and crossbows without saying much to the main general, and shot the sharp arrows at each other.

By this time, all the gentlemen began to have casualties and some people fell off their horses.

The two armies rode hundreds of horses, and soon killed together, crisscrossing each other, swords and swords, you come and go. After all, the mountain road is a mountain road, and hundreds of horsemen can't be used, and the one or twenty horsemen in front are in one place, and the soldiers in the rear have not seen the appearance of the enemy.

Lin Ying's plan was to use the mountain road to gain time with battle, and to exchange the lives and blood of these hundred horsemen for the construction of the three lines of defense in the rear.

"Who's waiting, report your name!" At the moment of the battle, the Xichuan horse army was surprised by the fierce combat power of the opponent in front of them, and the generals of the department finally couldn't help it and shouted loudly.

Lin Ying, who was fighting, laughed, and when he cut down the opponent in front of him, he replied arrogantly: "Open your dog's eyes wide and see clearly, your grandfather is a gentleman!" ”

"Gentlemen? The Hundred Battles Army? The general of the Xichuan Horse Army couldn't help but be shocked, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and some of the soldiers on his left and right exclaimed: "How can all the gentlemen be here?" Could it be that Li Congjing is here?! ”

Lin Ying heard these words in his ears and said loudly: "You wait for the generation of local chickens and dogs, I will kill them like slaughtering pigs and dogs, and you will not be able to see the face of the handsome!" But he made a heart, not to mention that Li Congjing did not come, and used Li Congjing's prestige to deter the other party.

These words were very effective, and a gasp suddenly sounded among the soldiers of Xichuan.

The corners of the mouth of the leading general of the Xichuan Horse Army twitched, but it was not easy to be with him, his heart was horizontal, and he shouted: "The vertical son is arrogant, and watch me cut you off the horse, and then go to take Li Congjing's head!" ”

After saying that, he greeted Lin Ying, Lin Ying shouted hello, and the horse caught up, and the two immediately fought together.

The two armies are fighting, and the danger is not allowed to happen, the Xichuan general is also a good player, Lin Ying fought with him intermittently for twenty or thirty rounds, and failed to take it down, so he moved his mind crookedly, and deliberately sold the other party a flaw, and when the other party was happy to swing a knife and slash vertically, he slashed at the side of his body and slashed across the opponent's chest.

This knife tore the opponent's armor, and the blade added blood, but the opponent's armor was very hard, and Lin Ying couldn't cut him off the horse with one sword, but this time it also shocked the opponent's eyes. When the two were separated again, Lin Ying looked back at the casualties of the gentleman, suddenly laughed, and said to the horseman: "Grandpa won't play with you anymore, and spare your life!" With that, turn the horse's head and beckon the gentlemen to retreat.

Dozens of horsemen withdrew from the battle one after another, beating their horses and galloping away.

The Xichuan cavalry general suffered a loss, and was verbally insulted, and his heart was extremely unhappy, seeing that Lin Ying was about to withdraw, where would he let the other party escape, and immediately led the crowd to chase after him.

Lin Ying galloped on his horse, and when he saw the other party chasing after him, he couldn't help but be happy, so he turned around from time to time and insulted him with foul language, which provoked the other party to grit his teeth and chase after him.

Then he came to a narrow mountain road, but the slopes on both sides were not very steep, Lin Ying saw the gentleman hidden in the forest on the hillside from a distance, and turned around to insult the rider for a while, and did not forget to laugh loudly to mock the other party.

Three or four hundred Xichuan elite cavalry chased after him, the cavalry general was scolded all the way to the face turned red, eager to eat Lin Ying in his mouth, stayed in this place, caught off guard, on both sides of the hillside suddenly strong wind gusts, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air is particularly harsh, two hundred sharp arrows crashed into the Xichuan horse army formation, and suddenly aroused a group of people to turn on their backs.

The hundreds of horsemen in Xichuan suddenly made a mess, the horses were startled, wounded, fell from the horses, and shouted, indifferently, the riders reacted to the ambush, and hurriedly beckoned the troops to raise a shield to defend, and then looked at Lin Ying, the mountain road that had long disappeared in front of him, only a burst of laughter echoed in the mountains

Three poles on the moon.

In the middle of the mountain road in Longmen Mountain, Lin Xiong led his troops to repel another offensive of the Xichuan army, got a moment of respite, didn't care about drinking dry food, called two commanders, and gathered together to discuss the military situation urgently.

"The battle has been going on for a day, and the distribution of the bandit army's strength is roughly clear." The guards were holding torches beside him, and Lin Xiong pointed to the map and looked at the two commanders with solemn expressions, "The main force of the thief army, most of them are on the South Road, and the scale is more than 20,000 people. In the middle and north roads, there are thousands of thieves in each. And the deployment of the thief army is also different, it is reported that the thief army on the south road is mostly foot soldiers, and the middle and north roads are mostly horse troops, and it may even be all horse army! ”

"The Xichuan Thief Army, why are the troops deployed like this?" A commanding envoy asked.

"Previously, the thief army was bluffing on all three fronts, in order to hide the true deployment of its troops. Meng Zhixiang may have expected that our army would come to Longmen Mountain to intercept it, and he also guessed that our troops would be divided into three routes, so he asked the thieves on the southern road to move faster, expose the reality first, contact our army, attract the attention of our army, and induce our army to put the main force on the south road. And once this happens, the defenses of the central and northern roads will inevitably be empty, and the thief armies on these two roads will be able to open the road and get out of the mountain as soon as possible. Once the thief army succeeds, these two thieves will rush south, attack the southern route army from behind, and attack from both sides, breaking us in one fell swoop! Lin Xiong said in a deep voice.

"I see, no wonder the Xichuan thief army has many foot soldiers on the south road, and there are many fine riders on the middle and north roads, but this is the truth!" The commander was stunned, and then slammed the knot: "Meng Zhixiang is really cunning!" ”

"So what should I do now?" Another commander asked.

Lin Xiong said solemnly: "There are thousands of thieves on the middle and north roads, with the ability to rush at a rapid impact, once they forcibly rush through the pass, we are afraid that we will not be able to resist, and the south route army has many foot soldiers, and its three or four hundred horse troops have suffered heavy damage, so far it is impossible to cope with the advantage of my elite cavalry." Today's plan is to mobilize the Southern Route Army to reinforce the Central and Northern Routes."

"It makes sense." One of the commanders muttered, "The general is wise! ”

Lin Xiong smiled bitterly, "This is not my wisdom, it is not me who sees through the vain intentions of the thief army, but Lin Ying, the three hundred cavalry of the Southern Route Army to support the Central and Northern Routes are also almost here."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiong seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly shouted: "Not good! ”

Before the fifth watch arrived, Lin Ying leaned against the stone, his eyes were confused, and the stone he sat on was soaked in blood.

A personal guard was taking care of his injuries, but he said that he was taking care of him, but at this time there was nothing he could do, so he had to bow his head and wipe away his tears.

Lin Ying glanced at the guard, and suddenly smiled, "A man doesn't flick when he has tears, this kind of behavior is not the demeanor of a gentleman." ”

The "general" this personal guard had been following Lin Ying for a long time, and his tone was choked up at this time, and he didn't know what to say.

Lin Ying looked at the starry sky, there was not much strength left, and he muttered: "Hold on for one more hour, and the deadline of twelve hours will come." There will definitely be no problem with the central and northern roads, as long as we do not lag behind in the southern roads, the task will be completed. ”

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, "The humiliation on my Lin Ying body has finally been washed away one day."
