Before the sun's rays faded, all the soldiers and horses finally passed safely through the precipitous terrain and came to the Valley of the Crying Ape. The trees are tall and thick, and the ground is covered with grass. A stream flows through the forest into the valley ahead. The ground is flat and open, making it a great place to rest.

The only fly in the ointment is the shrill shouts of the apes jumping in the trees, because the trees here are fruit trees, peaches, apricots, and plums. It's almost May, and the fruits on the tree, though not ripe, are green and ready to eat. Therefore, the monkeys on the left side of the mountain gather here, feed on the young leaves and berries, and when they are thirsty, they go down to the stream to drink water, which is their paradise.

And as soon as the army arrived, it disturbed the apes' territory, and they were certainly screaming and intimidating. The soldiers of the army were overwhelmed, and after the archers had killed a dozen of them with bows and arrows, the monkeys hid far away from the edge of the woods and cried loudly, making people even more disturbed. However, the weary rebels were able to take care of this, and when they arrived, they drank enough water from the stream and planted themselves in the grass, and in a moment the whole valley was covered with these weary soldiers, and the snoring was like thunder.

Shi Siming, Gao Xiuyan and other generals were also tired enough, and after arranging the soldiers on duty, they each found a soft grass and lay down to rest. Soon after, the soldiers on duty at both ends of the valley fell asleep.

The sun goes down, the mountains are solemn, the night breeze blows through the mountains, and the rustle of leaves is like the sound of waves. At the edge of the woodland in the distance, the occupied apes cried in the night wind, and the cry sounded like a mournful sound, which sounded very creepy, but the rebels in their sleep did not care, they had already fallen asleep.

At the intersections on both sides of the valley, several makeshift sentry posts lit bonfires. Hundreds of soldiers of the night watch were still holding their swords and holding their eyelids on their eyelids. At first, they could barely brace themselves, but the campfire was warm, the night breeze was blowing, and the sound of a sound sleep around them made their eyelids as heavy as a weighing weight. Many soldiers thought to themselves that it would be good to sleep for a while, and nothing would be delayed. So the eyelids drooped and they could no longer be opened.

Soon after, not only the soldiers and horses in the forest, but also the soldiers who were on guard and vigil around were tired one by one, and they fell asleep with their swords leaning against the trunk of the tree. Fatigue crushed everyone here.

In the middle of the night, the rapid chirping of the apes was heard from the bottom of the hillside at the edge of the woodland, and many of the soldiers were awakened, and they cursed and turned over and sat up, and when they heard the cry of the ape, they lay down again. Before someone fell asleep again, he cursed, "Tomorrow morning...... Lao Tzu will shoot you all, eat your flesh, drink your brains. Let you be noisy at night. ”

The sound of the ape's hooves became more and more rapid, screaming in terror as if they had encountered a dangerous predator, but this did not wake up the sleeping rebel soldiers and horses in the forest. Several of the awakened soldiers of the night watch simply poked their heads out at the shadows jumping up and down the treetops in the distance, and then turned away after muttering a few curses.

The rapid cry of the apes suddenly stopped, a sign of extreme horror, and they crouched on the treetops with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, but they did not make any noise. I followed their eyes, but I saw that on the slope at the edge of the woodland, countless black shadows were slowly approaching the valley along the hillside.

Their armor and swords glistened in the night, and their footsteps slowly walked through the grass and slowly descended into the valley. Everywhere in front of the bonfire, the campfire was full of sleeping rebel soldiers. The black shadows stopped, one of them waved his hand slightly, and thousands of black shadows in front of him jumped up, quickly coming to the sleeping rebels at the edge of the woodland, the sword flashed, the blood flowed, and in a few breaths, hundreds of sleeping rebel soldiers had their throats cut.

They kept killing one after another, killing several rounds without anyone noticing, because the rebels were so asleep that they didn't react to the unusual noises of the outside world.

A rebel soldier slept in the grass under a tree and snored, dreaming that he had returned to his hometown, playing with his newborn son in his arms. He held his son up in the air and teased, and his chubby little face smiled at him. Suddenly son chick. The chicken spewed a stream of water that hit him in the face, hot and sticky. He laughed and scolded and raised his hand to wipe it, and between this hand, the person suddenly woke up.

Then he was shocked to find that around him, countless black shadows were slashing his brother with swords. He also tasted something hot and slimy in his mouth, it wasn't the urine of his son in his dream, it was blood. It was the blood of the slain soldiers. Because he slept in the grass, surrounded by a few bushes, he was not noticed by the murderers for a while, and they actually missed him. The soldier next to him was killed, and the blood sprayed on his face, which woke him up.

The moment he understood all this, the soldier opened his mouth and let out a heart-rending cry of horror: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

The next moment, a steel knife flashed, his neck was cut off, crookedly hung on his shoulder, and his soul soared, and he rode away with the wind, and went home to see his son.

But despite the swiftness of the shadows' moves, the shout woke the soldiers not far away from their dreams. They all got up, and then screamed in panic, groping around the ground in search of the blades they had casually thrown down before going to bed.

Their shouts also woke up more people, and in an instant, the entire forest was awakened. They got up in a panic, grabbed their knives and guns, and ran around like headless flies, shouting loudly.

The trail was revealed, and thousands of black shadows quickly retreated into the darkness at the edge of the woodland. The rebel soldiers finally figured out their direction, and a large group of rebels rushed towards the edge of the woodland. Just as they rushed to the edge, the sound of bowstrings rang out one after another, and in a terrifying buzz, countless feathered arrows shot straight out of the darkness, instantly knocking down a row of rebel soldiers.

The rebels were so frightened that they turned around and ran into the forest, and countless archers in the rear appeared, pulling strings in their hands, and arrows rained down on the rebels, pinning them all in the forest.

Shi Siming rushed to the edge of the woodland in a panic, because he was too flustered, his helmet was crooked, the blades of grass on his hair had not been wiped off, and he hung firmly under his lips mixed with saliva, looking extremely embarrassed.

"What's going on? Is it Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses? How many people? Shi Siming asked in a loud voice.

"The generalissimo, it seems, is not, not from the road from which he came, but from the hillside. While we were sleeping, they sneaked in. There are quite a few people, I'm afraid tens of thousands. A general said busily.

"Tens of thousands?" Shi Siming took a breath of cold air. Where did these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses come from, it is really a strange thing. In this barren land of mountains and mountains, how could the Tang Army have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to raid here?

"Don't panic, even if they really have tens of thousands, we have 110,000, what are you afraid of? Chaoyi, quickly mobilize archers to suppress, what about shooting at them? If they dare to trouble us, we will slaughter them all. Shi Siming shouted.

Shi Chaoyi replied and turned away, and a moment later countless archers gathered, and the rain of arrows swished towards the darkness outside the forest and fiercely returned fire. In the darkness, there were screams from the other side, apparently someone had been shot.

"Crush them out and shoot them all." Shi Siming yelled. It was not enough to be bullied by Wang Yuan, and he had to be bullied on the way back, which was simply too wretched, and he was determined to annihilate the soldiers and horses on the opposite side to vent his anger.

The archers burst out of the forest and fired volleys of arrows into the woodlands on the hillside. The group of monkeys in the woods below the hillside suffered from the pond fish, and dozens of monkeys were shot down, bouncing loudly with arrows on their butts, and then more were killed by more arrows. After a few rounds of ferocious arrow rain, there were few arrows from the opposite side, and they were completely suppressed.

Shi Siming laughed and ordered the infantry to rush to the bottom of the hill to attack. The soldiers swarmed into the woodland below, only to find that the slopes were empty except for a few dozen corpses.

Shi Siming ordered loudly: "Chase, catch up." ”

The general beside him hurriedly reminded: "Generalissimo, this is not appropriate. The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and it is dangerous to enter the forest. The brothers are not familiar with the terrain here, so it would not be worth it if they were ambushed. ”

Shi Siming was about to speak, suddenly heard the shouting in the valley and forest, Shi Siming hurriedly asked about the situation, soon after the news came, there was another Tang army under the hillside on the other side, taking advantage of the army's attention to focus on the enemy on the north side, they raided and killed thousands of soldiers with killing.

"Dog thief! What about Gao Xiuyanren? Sleeping? Don't bring anyone to resist yet. Shi Siming scolded.

"I haven't seen General Gao all this time, and I don't know where he is." The soldier replied.

"Damn! This idiot. Go find him. Chaoyi, you are staring here, I will go to the south to resist the enemy. Stay at the edge of the woods, and don't venture deeper. Shi Siming hurriedly commanded.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, you have to be careful." Shi Chaoyi nodded again and again.

Shi Siming hurried to the edge of the woods in the south, but saw several generals with thousands of archers and facing each other to release arrows. There were a large number of corpses on the ground, apparently killed many of his own soldiers and horses by the sudden attack just now.

"Rush up. What are so many of our soldiers and horses still rubbing here? Shi Siming said loudly.

Under Shi Siming's strict order, the rebel soldiers rushed out of the forest and rushed down the hillside without fear of death. The other party was obviously afraid of their large numbers, and retreated back to the hillside with a whistle. Rebel soldiers shot and killed hundreds of sneak attackers, but nothing else was accomplished.

Before Shi Siming could catch his breath, he suddenly heard the report that there was also an enemy in the mountains and forests to the east. The enemy crept in, fired two rounds of arrows, and then retreated, killing the men and horses who came forward. When Shi Siming rushed to the east in a hurry, the other party disappeared again.

At this time, Shi Siming understood that the other party was an ambush here a long time ago, and he wanted to take advantage of the night to attack him. They were probably numbered more than 20,000 people, but they didn't dare to confront them head-on, so they divided into three teams to harass them from three sides. After understanding this, Shi Siming was relieved, and he ordered the soldiers and horses to shrink in the forest, and the archers were guarded around, and once the enemy appeared, he would shoot arrows to kill. This worked, and the rebels still had tens of thousands of bows and arrows, far outnumbering the opponent's archers, and the opponent suffered a small loss after two attempts, and then died down.

However, despite this, the army never wanted to rest again. Everyone stayed in the forest with wide eyes and big eyes, and no one dared to rest and sleep. I stayed up from midnight to dawn, and I was as tired as a dog.

After dawn, the light was bright, and the rebels were finally able to organize three groups of soldiers and horses to march in three directions to oppress. Relying on the large number of soldiers, they managed to pounce on the slopes on both sides and into the valley to the east, but the soldiers and horses of the night attack had disappeared at some point, and even half of them could not be found.

Counting the losses, it is unimaginable that more than 6,000 people were killed and wounded that night. Of course, the other side also killed and injured more than 1,000 people. Shi Siming ordered more than 100 wounded soldiers from the other side to gather in the middle of the forest for questioning. These soldiers were all seriously wounded, and they were really unable to escape, so they were captured.

While Shi Siming was torturing them, several soldiers carried a corpse to the middle of the woodland. Shi Siming frowned and was about to ask a question, when suddenly he saw the corpse's face clearly, and the bloodless face was Gao Xiuyan's face. The scar on his forehead is extremely eye-catching, which is Gao Xiuyan's signature feature, Gao Xiuyan has a nickname called Gao Scar, which is derived from the inverted scar on his face.

"What's going on? This...... Is it Gao Xiuyan? Shi Siming said in astonishment.

"Yes, we found General Gao when we were cleaning up the bodies of our brothers, his throat was slit, and the body was in the grass, so it was not easy to find." The soldier carrying the corpse said with a bitter face.

Shi Siming was stunned, and suddenly remembered that before going to bed, Gao Xiuyan slept at the edge of the woodland on the north side, saying that the grass there was softer, and he didn't want to sleep in the forest to be protected by the soldiers. It's good that my throat was cut in my sleep.

"How so? Gao Xiuyan, Gao Xiuyan, you are also famous in your life, how could you be killed in your sleep, you are really stupid. Shi Siming let out a long sigh.

Shi Siming was depressed, it was nothing if Gao Xiuyan died, but the problem was that Gao Xiuyan promised to resist the sin of defeat, and it was a trouble for him to die. It seems that he still has to push all the sins on Gao Xiuyan's head. Later, he had to talk to the generals in the army, especially the generals under Gao Xiuyan, and asked them to unify their voices with him, so he said that Gao Xiuyan knew that the blame for the defeat of the army was inevitable, so he apologized to himself. If a few of them refuse to lie, then they must find a way to kill those disobedient people after returning to Chang'an, so that they can justify themselves in front of An Lushan as they please.

Shi Siming had made up his mind, and ordered someone to build a simple coffin and put Gao Xiuyan's body on it. The soldier's body could be buried on the spot, and Gao Xiuyan's body had to be carried. This also serves as a credential. The wound on his neck happened to be a sword wound, which was quite similar to his own death, which was a testament to his lie.

Turning his head, Shi Siming began to interrogate the more than 100 captured court soldiers. The soldiers were all badly wounded, lying on the ground covered in blood, and some were dying. Shi Siming walked up to a soldier who didn't look too badly injured and looked normal, and kicked him in the leg with his toes. The soldier screamed, his mouth inhaling cold air. It turned out that he had injured his leg, and there was a bloody hole in his thigh.

"If I ask a question and you answer, if there is half a lie, I will immediately cut off your head." Shi Siming said in a deep voice.

The soldier frowned, hugged his thighs and trembled.

"Do you hear that? In front of you is Generalissimo Longwei Marshal Shi, if you want to live, you must answer honestly, otherwise your head will fall to the ground. Shi Chaoyi shouted beside him.

"The general asks, the villain knows everything, and there is no way to do it if he doesn't know." The soldier whispered.

Shi Siming nodded and said, "Very good." What is your name. ”

"Villain Huang Xiaoer."

"Are you all Wang Yuan's soldiers?" Shi Siming said.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

Shi Siming nodded and said, "So, where are you from?" Was there an ambush here beforehand? ”

Soldier Huang Xiaoer raised his head and said, "Yes, I have been in ambush here for two days, just waiting for you to pass by here." ”

Shi Siming frowned and said, "How do you know that we will definitely defeat Tongzhou?" Did Wang Yuan ask you to ambush here? ”

"This villain doesn't know, how do we little soldiers know about the order from above? Anyway, we set out from Bazhou five days ago, and after entering the mountain, we came straight here to ambush, as for why you defeated Tongzhou, you ask me, I ask who to go? ”

Shi Siming was shocked and said, "You mean you are soldiers from Bazhou?" Didn't you just say that you were Wang Yuan's soldiers? ”

The soldier said: "Of course we are the soldiers under Wang Dashuai, and the soldiers and horses of Quanjian South Road and Longyou Road are all soldiers and horses under Wang Dashuai." We are all the Divine Commander's army. ”

Shi Siming frowned and said, "So you didn't go to Tongzhou to support, but went directly into the mountains to ambush?" ”

Huang Xiaoer said: "Yes, didn't I say it all very clearly? Is it that you, marshal, don't understand or what? We followed Bazhou Chen Taishou and came here directly to set up an ambush and wait for you. There are also soldiers and horses in Fangzhou. Rescue Tongzhou? That's not necessary, how are you Wang Dashuai's opponent, you will be defeated when you come to attack Tongzhou, do you need to say this? ”

"Shut up, what the hell are you talking about, looking for death?" Shi Chaoyi flew up and slammed a foot on the soldier's chest, and the soldier was kicked on the heel, lying on the ground and coughing on his chest.

Shi Siming glared at Shi Chaoyi, stepped forward to help the soldier, and said in a deep voice: "Do you really have so much confidence in Wang Yuan? Then why did Wang Yuan make you respect him so much? ”

The soldier raised his head, blood hung on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Our Wang Dashuai is a heavenly martial god, how can you be his opponent?" And look at you like this, I'm afraid you have suffered a big loss in Tongzhou. Hehe, so I'm right. Wang Dashuai is like a god, and knows that you are going to be defeated, so he orders us to set up an ambush here. You are subject to restrictions everywhere, and every step is in Wang Dashuai's calculations, isn't that enough? I advise you to hurry up and surrender to Wang Dashuai, if you are an opponent with him, sooner or later you will die. ”

Shi Siming frowned, and said in a low voice: "You are not small, are you not afraid of death?" ”

Huang Xiaoer opened his mouth to show his blood-stained teeth and smiled: "What if you are afraid of death?" Can you spare us? Besides, we were all badly injured, and the wound on my thigh was bleeding profusely, and it hurt a large blood vessel, and I knew I wouldn't survive. If you are merciful, give us a good time, and you will be counted as accumulating virtue. In the future, when you are killed by the king of my family, we will meet in the underworld, and my brothers and I will not trouble you. ”

Shi Siming's face turned pale, his teeth rattled, and he slowly stood up and walked to the side.

One of the generals whispered: "Marshal, what about these people?" ”

"Push them all into the valley to feed the wolves." Shi Siming said coldly.

More than 100 wounded soldiers were dragged to the cliff and pushed off the cliff one by one, and in the screams of the soldiers of the Shence Army, Shi Siming stood aside with his brows tightly knit and secretly frightened. His previous worries were verified, and he had always wondered why the soldiers and horses from Fangzhou and Bazhou did not come to reinforce Tongzhou, it turned out that they had already set up an ambush here. This Wang Yuan is really bold and extremely confident. He seemed to anticipate the defeat of his soldiers and horses, so he arranged this move in advance. From this point of view, this person really makes people feel terrible, take one step and think three steps, he is indeed played by him, and he is in his calculations from beginning to end. And last night's sneak attack cost him 6,000 soldiers and horses, and even Gao Xiuyan was killed, which made it even worse for himself.

"Qichen immediately, all the way non-stop, rush back to Jinzhou as soon as possible to rest." Shi Siming ordered loudly, he couldn't stay here for a second longer, he would feel shudder if he stayed for a second longer, and he didn't know what powerful means Wang Yuan had waiting for him, so it was better to stay away from Wang Yuan as soon as possible.

……

In the early afternoon, the city of Tongzhou ushered in a triumphant ambush of soldiers and horses. As Huang Xiaoer explained, these two soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of the Shence Army originally stationed in Bazhou and Fangzhou. Bazhou led the army with a former general of the Jiannan Army named Chen Yongzu. The leader of Fangzhou was also the former general of the Jiannan Army, named Lu Yuangui. These two men performed well in the battle against the Tibetans, after which Wang Yuan promoted them and appointed them as the Taishou of Bazhou and Fangzhou, garrisoning the two cities and leading troops against the enemy.

When Wang Yuan's army arrived in Tongzhou, the two were going to lead the army to converge, but they received Wang Yuan's order to lead the army into the mountains and ambush the rebels in the Valley of the Ape. Although the two of them were a little confused, they had been by Wang Yuan's side for several years, and they had long been accustomed to obeying orders without asking the reason, so they led the army directly to the Valley of the Ape to wait. As a result, the big fish was really caught in the net, and the rebels were once again severely damaged.

Wang Yuan led the generals to greet the two generals outside the city with smiles. When Chen Lu and the others saw Wang Yuan, they hurriedly rolled off the saddle and immediately knelt forward to salute. Wang Yuan smiled and helped the two of them up: "The two generals have worked hard, leading the army into the mountains is a chore, I have known your battle report, you have done a good job, and you deserve praise." ”

Chen Yongzu said ashamedly: "The humble rank has failed the commander, and only injured five or six thousand enemies, which is really ashamed of the cultivation of the commander." ”

Lu Yuangui also blamed himself repeatedly, in the eyes of the two of them, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the retreating rebels, the rebels should have more brilliant results in an unguarded situation. However, only five or six thousand rebels were annihilated, which is too unreasonable.

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Five or six thousand is less? You must know that you are facing more than 100,000 rebels. I thought you would only be able to kill two or three thousand enemies at most, but you have greatly exceeded my expectations. ”

Chen Yongzu and Lu Yuangui were ashamed. Except for a few core people who knew about this plan, many generals, including Du Fu, only now knew that Wang Yuan had also made a trick on the retreat of the rebels, and this time more than 6,000 rebels were annihilated.

Du Fu looked at Wang Yuan's eyes in addition to shock, which was almost admiration. This Wang Yuan was originally confident, and he had already expected that the rebels would be defeated, so he set up an ambush in the rear, how much self-confidence should he have to dare to do this. The big war the day before yesterday was full of dangers, Wang Yuan didn't know how big his heart was to deal with it calmly, this person was really bold and high-means, and he was probably the only one in the world.

"No wonder you said yesterday that the results of the statistics were not complete, it turned out that you kept this backhand, and Du really took it." Du Fu muttered.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, now Brother Du can add the number of six thousand enemies to the list, and we can also write an official document to report the victory to Your Majesty and the imperial court." ”
