Chapter 738: This place is forbidden
"Major General, through the valley in front, walk another thirty miles, we will be able to appear behind Dongyongzhou, and when the Qi army and our army in front of us are in full swing, we will be able to kill the Qi army brother by surprise, and when the time comes, the city slope of Dongyongzhou, the young general should be the first merit!"
Listening to the lieutenant general's compliments, the corners of Yang Yong's mouth showed a confident smile. Wiping the sweat on his face, looking around, looking at the lush trees on the hillsides on both sides, Yang Yong's heart was happy, and the fatigue and boredom of walking in the mountains and forests for days seemed to dissipate.
"Give the order to go down, rest in place, and continue on your way in an hour!"
An hour passed quickly, and after some rest, the 30,000 Zhou troops were full of food and drink, and they were in a lot of spirits, and they embarked on the journey again. In order to hide his whereabouts, the path chosen by Zhou Jun was all remote and sparsely populated, so it was very difficult to walk, and the speed was not fast, and at dusk, Yang Yong and his party came to the front of the valley.
"Major General, there is a stone tablet in front, which is a little weird!"
"The stele? What's going on? Yang Yong looked at the deputy general in surprise, urged the horse forward, came to the valley mouth, and saw a five-meter-high stone tablet standing in the center of the valley mouth, on which was engraved a line of bright red characters: "This place is forbidden, trespassers die!" ”
The eight-character iron painting silver hook is murderous, especially the blood-like color, which is even more bewitching under the reflection of the remnant sun, shocking, and makes people feel inexplicably chilled.
Yang Yong couldn't help frowning, looking at the deep valley, it was quiet, the light was very dim, people couldn't really see the scene, the breeze blew, making a "whine" sound, making the whole valley mouth like a huge beast, as if it wanted to choose people to eat.
Coupled with the handwriting on the Guguchi stone stele, everyone's hearts were inexplicable.
"Seeing that this handwriting is very new, it must be newly erected, could it be that Murong Sanzang knew that Ben was going to sneak in from here, so he erected a monument to warn, or is there something unspeakable in this valley?"
Yang Yong squinted his eyes and only looked at the valley for a long time before he spoke: "Send elite scouts to the peaks on both sides of the valley to find out what is going on, and see if there are ambushes from the Qi army in this valley or Murong Sanzang is playing tricks!" ”
"Yes!"
With Yang Yong's order, one hundred elite scouts were divided into twenty groups, and they disappeared into the mountains and forests in the blink of an eye.
While Zhou Jun waited, night slowly approached. There was occasionally the howl of wild beasts in the mountains and forests, which was terrible and cold, and a depressed and irritable mood slowly spread among the Zhou army.
When the stars filled the sky and Yang Yong was a little impatient, the scouts sent out finally returned one after another, and everyone's nervous mood was suddenly relieved.
"How's it going in the valley?" Yang Yong asked in a deep voice, his hurried tone showed that his heart was far less calm than it appeared to be. In this roundabout raid, his whereabouts must be kept secret, otherwise his 30,000 Zhou troops will only seek their own death if they go deep behind enemy lines.
"Back to the major general, we carefully inspected both sides of the valley, and did not find any ambushes, the road in the valley is full of decayed fallen leaves, it should be because no one has passed for a long time!"
Yang Yong was about to speak, but his face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "You went to a hundred people, why are there five fewer now?" ”
"Huh? What the hell is He Laosi, he was still by my side just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? ”
"Jiang Dajia is gone, strange thing, really strange thing!"
"Li Gouzi, where are you?"
Hearing Yang Yong say this, everyone realized that there were five fewer comrades-in-arms around them, but they didn't realize it.
Everyone seemed to think of something, their hearts tightened inexplicably, and then they looked at the valley of the black hole, and the faint light of the handwriting on the stone tablet under the firelight, and the back of the spine was cold.
"Could it be that there is really some mystery in this valley, or is there an ambush by the Qi army?" Including Yang Yong's deputy general, all Zhou Jun thought so in their hearts. In this deep night, the fear of the unknown slowly shrouded everyone's hearts, like a haze, heavy, and breathless.
Yang Yong's brows were twisted into the word "Chuan", his eyes stared at the valley, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Probe again, General Ben wants to see what is in this valley!" ”
Following Yang Yong's order, the ninety-five scouts who came back carried torches and stepped into the mountain forest again.
An hour later, these scouts appeared in front of Yang Yong again, but to his horror, there were fifty-five people who went to the ninety-five, and when they came, there were five fewer people. The ten people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead, and they had raised their vigilance by 120,000 points, but they didn't even hear a scream or warning.
Mo said that he was an ordinary soldier, even Yang Yong felt sweaty on his back, and his body was slightly cold.
"What's going on? Is there really something strange in this valley? ”
If all the scouts sent were killed, Yang Yong would be able to conclude that there was an ambush by the Qi army in the valley, but only ten people were missing, and each time it was silent, which made him suspicious.
If there were a large number of Qi troops in ambush in the valley, and the elite scouts under his command would definitely be able to find clues, but now they have only lost ten people, and they are missing so strangely, is it a warning from the enemy in the potential shadows, the purpose is to deter himself, if not, then it can only be that there is something strange in the valley, but Yang Yong doesn't believe this very much.
Looking at the sky, Yang Yong couldn't help but hesitate.
"The night is dark, and it is not convenient to continue exploring, but if you wait until dawn, it will delay the hour." The so-called soldiers are fast, if they are delayed for too long, I am afraid that they will not be able to complete the set task, but leading the army into the valley, Yang Yong is a little uneasy in his heart.
The adjutant general said cautiously: "Major General, do you see if we are temporarily camping, resting for the night, and making plans after dawn!" ”
"No!" After being silent for a long time, Yang Yong's eyes suddenly burst out with a fine light, and he said in a deep voice: "This is just a trick of the Qi people, and it is a delusion to shake the hearts of our army and scare off this general!"
General Ben expects that there are not many Qi people in the valley, otherwise they only need to kill all the scouts sent by our army, and the deterrent is not greater, if this is the case, General Ben will immediately lead the army to retreat! ”
Hearing Yang Yong say this, the generals of the Zhou army couldn't help but agree. The handwriting on the stone tablet and the missing scouts all showed that the enemy was just trying to intimidate the Zhou army and prevent them from crossing the valley, and this just showed that they were not many in number and could not stop the Zhou army from passing through, otherwise why bother so much?
"Order, the army is moving, everyone is in a state of readiness and advancing to the valley!"
Under Yang Yong's order, the 30,000 Zhou troops bypassed the terrifying stone monument and slowly marched towards the valley.
This valley is about fifty miles long, and it took nearly two hours for the Zhou army to walk a third of it. Dawn was coming, and the spirit was tense all night, Zhou Jun was very tired at this time, and there was nothing abnormal in the night, which also made their minds slightly relaxed.
When we walked nearly halfway through, the sky was already hazy, and the eastern sky was even whiter. Except for the sound of footsteps on the dead leaves, the whole valley is especially quiet.
Rubbing his dry eyes, Yang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "There are few Qi soldiers, it must be because we have many people, so we dare not show traces!" However, this time his whereabouts are exposed, and General Ben must speed up a bit, otherwise it will be a big bad thing when the Qi army is prepared! ”
Thinking of this, Yang Yong couldn't help but shout: "The whole army obeys the order, speed up the march, and rest when it gets out of the valley!" ”
Zhou Jun listened to the order and immediately quickened his pace.
However, Yang Yong and his entourage had only walked for half an hour, and the dazzling fire suddenly appeared, and a violent roar suddenly sounded between the heavens and the earth, and then the Zhou army felt that the mountain was shaking, and the qi was rolling, and countless Zhou troops were caught off guard and were thrown out by the inexplicable huge force, and suffered heavy casualties.
The terrible wails and frightened screams tore the silence of the valley in an instant, and countless birds and beasts also woke up at this huge movement, and fled in all directions in terror.
Hit the trick!
Looking at the chaotic scene behind him, Yang Yong's face was like earth, his mind was blank for a while, and his body swayed with the frightened war horse, and he might fall off the horse at any time.
The sand and dust and broken dead leaves blurred Yang Yong's vision, but he still faintly saw countless black-clothed people rushing out from both sides of the valley, their speed was fast, their movements were as agile as ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, they swept into the chaotic Zhou army, setting off a bloody storm.
Yang Yong woke up and was about to give an order, but a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him, and before Yang Yong could react, the man in black had already raised his palms and knocked him out, and the moment his consciousness sank into darkness, Yang Yong saw the face of the man in black clearly, this is a young and handsome face, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, but the look in his eyes is as cold as ice.
"The Lord is dead, so don't you surrender quickly!"
As this thunderous roar spread throughout the valley, the already panicked Zhou army was even more unbearable, and their morale plummeted, and they only resisted for less than half an hour before giving up the struggle, and at this time the soft sunlight happened to rise completely.
……
"Marshal, Major General Yang has launched an attack from the rear of Dongyongzhou!"
"Haha, good!" Yuwen Xiaobo showed a look of surprise on his face, and when he looked at it from afar, he saw that the Qi army at the head of the city was slightly flustered, obviously because he didn't expect an enemy army to suddenly appear behind him.
"Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and today it will inevitably break through the city, wash Dongyongzhou in blood, and avenge the dead soldiers!"
"Revenge!"
"Kill!"
The 100,000 Zhou army suddenly burst out with a terrifying roar, rushing towards Dongyongzhou like a fierce hungry wolf, and countless siege weapons were forced to Dongyongzhou under the impetus of the wrestlers.
At this moment, in the midst of more than a dozen loud noises in a row, more than a dozen dazzling fireballs suddenly shot towards the Zhou army outside the city.
In Yuwen Xiaobo's surprised gaze, the dozen or so fireballs actually crossed a distance of nearly eight hundred meters and fell fiercely into the crowd.
"Boom, boom!"
Under the more violent loud noise, the earth trembled, and countless Zhou troops and dust were thrown into the sky together, splashing patches of blood in the sky.
The closest fireball to Yuwen Xiaobo was about thirty meters away, but the scorching qi still lifted him into a somersault, and his chest shook and tightened. Holding his chest and lying on the ground, Yuwen Xiaobo looked at Dongyongzhou in horror, unable to speak for a long time.
