Chapter Twenty-Nine: Attack on Crouching Tiger Gully
The day after Yue Fei left Xiangzhou, Pucha Shijianu and Jin 13 took 4,000 elite horsemen to Xiangzhou City. Unfortunately, they saw only the five heads of Jeruma hanging high above the city, and the looted tent of the golden barracks.
The slaves of the Pucha Shi family were furious, but there was nothing they could do about Xiangzhou City. After all, they were all cavalry, and they didn't have siege equipment. stayed under the city of Xiangzhou for two days, and ended up facing Xue Guang's 10,000 infantry reinforcements.
The two sides fought a bloody battle in Xiangzhou City, and in the end both sides were defeated. Pucha Shijianu suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and in desperation, he could only lead the army back to Weizhou. Jin 13 led a hundred horsemen to leave halfway and disappeared.
As for Xue Guang's department, the 10,000 infantry was at least 3,000 people. At the most critical moment, Xue Guang's army almost collapsed. Fortunately, Xue Guang led 500 cavalry troops to move forward bravely, personally charged into battle, suffered several wounds, and finally stabilized his own position. Zhao Butry sent Xiong Feishi to lead a thousand elite soldiers out of the city, forced the Jin army back, and connected Xue Guang to Xiangzhou City.
Not to mention the mixed joys and sorrows in the city of Xiangzhou, not to mention Yue Fei and his entourage, they left Xiangzhou, but on the second day, they entered the Taihang Mountains. Looking at the reckless mountain range stretching across the sky, Yue Fei had mixed feelings and couldn't help but let out a long howl. It's September, and the autumn wind is stinging, and the yellowing leaves on both sides of the mountain road are falling.
Yue Fei and his entourage, in addition to more than 400 back-to-back soldiers, there are also 100 family members selected by Luo Tian's two families. 2,000 families, the first battle of the Golden Battalion, more than half of the casualties. But the surviving family members all have the appearance of elite soldiers. Because the Luo Tian family wanted to move their families, the old and sophisticated Tian Mancang temporarily left the Protector Army and personally escorted his family to Yingtianfu. Luo Yanqing Yue Fei originally wanted to send Luo Yanqing to Kaide Mansion to assist Master Zhihun and Wang Gang in governing the place. But Luo Yanqing volunteered to fly to Taihang with Yue, and he would be a hero from all walks of life for a while.
During the march in the past two days, Luo Yanqing has been holding two iron guns and opening the road in front. His fierce physique made some stragglers lying on the top of the hill snooping ashamed of themselves, and they didn't dare to think of other thoughts at all.
Ji Qian pointed at Luo Yanqing's back with her finger and said to Yue Fei, "Brother Yue, Luo Yanqing is really a fierce general. ”
Yue Fei nodded, "Not bad." Although this person is a child of a family, he does not have the vices of other children of a family, and he values righteousness and neglects life, so he can be regarded as a really good man. ”
In fact, when it comes to being familiar with the terrain of Taihang Mountain, Luo Yanqing is definitely not as good as Ji Qian. You must know that Ji Qian has been the king of the mountain in Taihang Mountain for several years, and has also led thousands of younger brothers to show off his power in the mountains. If it weren't for Yue Fei saying that Ji Qian would go down the mountain, maybe Ji Qian was hiding in a cottage drinking at this moment.
Yue Fei is no stranger to Taihang Mountain. When subduing Ji Qian, Yue Fei put a lot of effort into studying the terrain of Taihang Mountain. It's just that since Xiangzhou joined the army, whether it is Yue Fei or Ji Qian, they haven't set foot in the Taihang Mountains for two years.
Now that the old scene is reunited, the two are naturally in mixed moods. Especially Ji Qian, when he entered Taihang Mountain, he began to look for the mountain people he was familiar with. However, he searched for three families of mountain people in a secluded place in the mountains, but found that the thatched huts had long since collapsed and there were no traces.
Ji Qian gradually accepted the mood of visiting friends and began to pay attention to the surrounding mountains. At this time, at least a million displaced people gathered in the Taihang Mountains. Almost every hill with dangerous terrain will have a cottage-style camp. Among the homeless people, there are heroes, and naturally there are also mountain bandits and villains who do everything to rob homes and houses.
However, no matter what kind of homeless people they are, when they see Yue Fei's people, they will only gasp, and then close the gate of the village, and they will definitely not have the idea of robbery. Because these 500 centaurs are really too popular. Not only was the Beiwei army murderous, but even the hundred families who opened the road in front of them were all wearing iron armor and majestic. Of course, what makes these cottages feel like they are facing the enemy is a big banner provoked by the Wei Army. The word "Yue" in Douda hunted with the mountain wind. If it was placed half a month ago, the heroes of Taihang Mountain would not care about a banner surnamed Yue, and would have united more than a dozen small cottages to block the mountain road, grabbing horses and armor.
But now when they saw the word "Yue", they immediately understood that this must be the people's army with 400 people and 7,000 gold soldiers. What, the idea that you want to fight this army? Do you know that the main general of this army is Yue Invincible of Tangyin County, a big gun, there is no right in the world. If you want to beat his idea, it is better to jump from the highest point of Taihang Mountain and fall to your death. In that case, you will only drag you down, and if you beat Yue Invincible's idea, the entire cottage will be dragged down by you.
Because of this, Yue Fei and his party went deep into Taihang Mountain for nearly a hundred miles, and they still didn't encounter any danger. There were even heroes who stopped on the mountain road with their bare hands, wanting to meet Yue Fei to show their respect.
In the face of these heroes, Yue Fei personally dismounted and treated each other as equals. Yue Fei believes that although these small cottages have hundreds of people at most and dozens of people at least, they have almost no combat effectiveness, but these cottage leaders are all iron men who refuse to reduce their money to be lackeys, even if their martial arts are poor, they are worth befriending.
On the third day of entering Taihang Mountain, it was less than twenty miles away from Erlong Mountain. At noon, Yue Fei's men and horses walked into a ravine several zhang wide. This valley is called Killing Tiger Ditch, the ditch is full of rocks, and the mountains on both sides are hundreds of feet high, and the steepness is incomparable. If someone ambushes here, then everything is over.
Although there are only heroes who have come to pay their respects to Yue Fei in the past few days, there are no bandits who dare to show their greedy thoughts. But Yue Fei didn't dare to be careless at all. You must know that Taihang Mountain is no better than the plains and wilderness, in case you are not careful, you will be trapped in a dead place, but everything will be over. And this tiger-killing ditch is such a place of death.
Before the Beiwei army entered the Tiger Killing Ditch, Luo Yanqing had already led his family into the ravine for several miles, and he did not find any danger. Yue Fei sent more than a dozen Beiwei troops to explore the way, and only then did he lead the four hundred Beiwei troops into the Tiger Killing Ditch.
The autumn sun shone on the steep mountain walls on both sides, as well as on the horses walking in the ditch. The mountain wall was silent, and the military horses walking in the ravine were almost silent, except for the birds and finches that refused to move despite the autumn cold in the mountains from time to time.
Kill the tiger ditch has a total of ten miles long, after the kill tiger ditch, not far away, is Erlong Mountain. Yue Fei walked and thought about it, how to convince Niu Gao and Dong Xian when he saw them?
In the original history, it would have been years before they were brought under their command. Now can I subdue these two fierce generals in advance? Also, I don't know where my mother lives. Yun'er and the silver bottle don't know how tall they have grown.
Yue Fei was pondering when he suddenly heard a few sharp whistles coming from the valleys on both sides. Then a figure appeared on the valley, followed by large rocks falling from the sky.
Yue Fei Jiqian shouted almost at the same time, "There is an ambush!" Brethren, be careful. Sticking to the valley. "Fortunately, the Beiwei army are all veterans of a hundred battles, and Luo Yanqing's family members are also elite and quick to react, as soon as they heard the whistle on the mountain, they knew that something was wrong, and they led their horses to the root of the mountain to hide.
Even so, a dozen soldiers were unable to dodge or were unlucky enough to be killed on the spot by stones falling from the sky.
Yue Fei had just hid at the root of the mountain, and when he looked up, he saw that Ran Qing was still stunned. At this time, a large stone weighing at least 100 catties was whizzing down from the sky. Ran Qing, who has always been clever, was stupid at this time.
At this time, the others also discovered Ran Qing's danger and shouted, "Miss Ran, hide under the root of the mountain." Among them, Hua Ruyu's voice was the loudest, "Sister, run." Come on. ”
Helplessly, Ran Qing couldn't walk at all because he saw a majestic sergeant with his back being smashed to pieces on the spot by a big stone, and his legs were a little weak. She looked desperately at the boulder whizzing down, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
Yue Fei suddenly took a deep breath, took his Zhangba iron spear, ran two steps forward, jumped up, and let out a long roar, the iron spear was like electricity, stabbing at the boulder. I only heard a hiss, and the tip of the gun went deep into the boulder, and the boulder that fell in a straight line suddenly flew out horizontally.
Yue Fei had already thrown the gun at this time, his body fell to the ground, holding Ran Qing, with an arrow step, he jumped directly more than a zhang away, just hiding under a relatively safe mountain root. It was only at this time that the hundreds of backs of the military let out an earth-shattering exclamation.
Yue Fei was actually taking a risk just now, you must know that hundreds of pounds of stones fell from a height of 100 zhang, and the gravitational acceleration had at least thousands of pounds of strength, which was not at all something that could be stopped by manpower. But Yue Fei saw that Ran Qing was about to splash blood on the spot, and he actually stabbed out a shot from the heavenly gods.
Ji Qian looked at Yue Fei with adoring eyes, and said to Hua Ruyu beside her, "Did you see that?" This is the true level of Brother Yue. Absolutely invincible in the world, invincible in the world. ”
Hua Ruyu, who has always liked to quarrel with Ji Qian, is no longer bickering at this time. Her eyes were also shining, and she seemed to be shocked by Yue Fei's shot. Hua Ruyu has always believed that Yue Fei's martial arts may be a little higher than herself, but not too high. But judging from today's shot, he couldn't stop Yue Fei's move at all.
Hua Ruyu didn't know that Yue Fei's shot was really at a super level, forcing out the potential of the human body. While the soldiers were cheering loudly, Yue Fei felt that his chest was suffocating, and his hands were trembling all the time, and he took a few deep breaths before returning to normal.
At this time, Ran Qing didn't seem to have woken up from the fright, and he didn't speak, his eyes just looked at Yue Fei stupidly. When Yue Fei saw Ran Qing's appearance, he couldn't help but get even more angry, and said loudly, "Miss Ran, you are usually so clever, why are you confused today." Do you know that you were just a little bit close to becoming a dead person? If you're so sluggish any longer, I'll have to get you out of the Bearers. ”
Tears suddenly welled up in Ran Qing's eyes. Yue Fei was most afraid of women crying, and when he saw Ran Qing's pitiful tearful appearance, he was suddenly at a loss, and called Hua Ruyu to come over to take care of Ran Qing.
At this time, there were no boulders falling on the mountain, but there seemed to be a sound of fighting in front of the Tiger Killing Ditch. Yue Fei knew that since the other party was deliberately ambushing people and throwing boulders at the height of the valley, it was naturally impossible for him to scare himself. It will definitely attack when the formation of the Beiwei army is scattered. At this time, it was obvious that Luo Yanqing was leading his family to resist the incoming enemy. You have to look ahead quickly.
Yue Fei beckoned to Shang Ji Qian, led dozens of Beiwei troops to step on the rocks, and quickly rushed to the front of the valley. The other back troops, under the command of Hua Ruyu Ranqing, led the war horses and moved forward slowly.
However, as soon as the Beiwei army was formed, there was another wave of rocks rolling on the valleys on both sides, once again forcing hundreds of Beiwei troops under the root of the mountain. Ran Qing had regained her composure at this time, she looked at the valleys on both sides, gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that this wave of thieves is planning to destroy us here." General Hua, we can't hide here. In my opinion, let's give up the war horse for the time being, and then stick to the roots of the mountain, no matter what, let's find this tiger killing ditch first. ”
