Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Former Army's Dilemma
In the morning, the weather was gray, and Ying Xu was angry when he saw it, which was a sign that it was going to rain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info hurriedly climbed out of the quilt and arranged for people to repair the road, Zhang Feng was very tired when he came back from the change of guard, and climbed into the cabin after giving Ying Xu a salute. Hei Bo stood beside the magnet and took a deep breath, Yu Ziqi and Wu Jian carefully dragged the tiger on the riverbank, and Chen Ping dragged the black boys to follow them from a distance.
After breakfast, Yingxu went ashore with twenty guards, and the paved road was already close to the riverbank, so it was no longer possible to simply fill in the earth and stones, but to build a dock with wooden stakes. Mebuka people already have experience, and the tree felling, pruning, and soil hauling seem to be busy. Ying Xu didn't talk much, after yesterday's big move, no big guy dared to jump out to obstruct Ying Xu's road construction. So only polished rice can be boiled in the pot.
The dirt road is very dusty, but fortunately, it is strong and durable, about a foot wide. Last night's mound had already been filled in the swamp, just flush with the road surface. The road to the south was repaired quickly, just clear the weeds and trees, and put a little dirt and rocks on it, and you can walk and drive. The terrain around the river bank is very uneven, with high and low mounds, plains, and swamps.
"There's no news from West Side yet?" Ying Xu climbed up the mound where the black man was stationed and asked.
"Not yet, but you found a small Yue village to the east?" The black man said, pointing to the east side of the road.
"Ignore it for now, it's important to lead the front army. Take someone with me! With a wave of his hand, Yingxu went down the mound again, heading to the west of the road.
The Oujiang River originates from west to east, and the road is built from north to south. The west side of the road is mostly relatively large mountains, and Yingxu plans to climb over the mountains that block his view to see what is going on. The black man left a hundred Qin troops and followed Yingxu with three hundred people. Climb over the mountains and go straight west.
The mountains to the west are not high, but the trees are tall and densely forested. Overgrown. Every foot is unsteady. The soldiers who opened the way were very careful.
The mountain is in a north-south direction, and Yingxu's route is spiral, and after a while, Yingxu climbs to the halfway point of the mountainside in the west of the mountain. Everyone was tired and panting, and they saw a flat piece of ground lying down and resting.
The black man jumped on a rock and looked down the mountain. Suddenly shouted:
"Hey, Childe, look?
Ying Xu also jumped on the stone and looked at the black man's finger, and found that under the opposite mountain, the two teams of people were fighting, and the two sides had fallen into a scuffle.
"Alas, it seems to be Zhang Heng, go!" Ying Xu and his soldiers marched towards the shallows.
It is said that Zhang Heng set off overnight yesterday and marched with torches at night. When I saw the sun in the morning, I realized that I had gone astray. I was carried south by the trend of the mountain, and I walked a lot of unjust roads. Just as he was about to head west, he found a group of Yue people coming from the river valley to the south. As soon as the Yue people saw them, they screamed and pounced. Zhang Heng saw that these guys were using standard weapons, and he thought that the hope of finding the former army was pinned on them. With a loud roar, he rushed forward with his soldiers. So the two sides were in a scuffle. In close combat, the competition is who is ruthless.
Although Qin Jun was very ruthless, he couldn't stand it for a night without sleeping. In a melee, it is inevitable to be slow to react alone. Gradually, they fell into weakness. Zhang Heng was also physically exhausted under the siege of several Yue people, and his body was scratched in several places. Just when Zhang Heng felt that he was about to confess. A familiar shout rang out all around. Zhang Heng saw Yingxu and the Qin army coming out from all directions.
The spirit was lifted, and he roared into the battle group.
Ying Xu's appearance made the Yue people fall into despair, and most of the more than 200 Yue people who attacked Zhang Heng in a quarter of an hour were killed, and none of them escaped, only a few dozen people were captured. Several armor-piercing Yue people were pressed over by Zhang Heng.
Ying Xu was now eager to know where the front army was and what the news was, but the prisoner at the head was very arrogant, and Ying Xu smiled and put Zhan Lu on the neck of this Yue man with his head on his back. Yue Ren was very arrogant, glaring at Ying Xu, such a person Ying Xu didn't bother to ask, and gently stroked his neck with Zhan Lu. The Yue captive's body twitched for a while, and then he was lifeless. The remaining captives were now half scared to death. Ying Xu asked what they answered, very obedient, after asking, Ying Xu reluctantly asked Zhang Heng to escort them down and behead.
These people are wearing armor in the low-level military attaches in the Minyue army, Ying Xu doesn't want to stay, it may be a disaster to stay, and Ying Xu hates traitors the most, although they have betrayed themselves, but Ying Xu still doesn't want these miscellaneous pieces to survive.
Just now, Ying Xu learned from the captive that the front army was in the southwest plain. And they are the advance team sent by King Wuzhu of Yue. The main task is to find out the terrain of this area. They don't know about the rest.
It seems that the former army should not be far from here. Yingxu sent a team of soldiers to press the prisoners and escort the wounded back to the riverbank dock, and he and the rest of the men planned to search westward. Maybe you just happened to run into the front army.
At this time, on a plain to the west, groups of soldiers were moving slowly. The silver-haired general, who was inspecting on a war horse, scolded the last soldier. At last, three or four more lame waves of their hands, and the guards dragged them to the side of the road, and each of them made up a sword. The silver-haired general stared at the dense forest on both sides of the road for a moment, then picked up his horse and ran forward with his team.
Since the division of troops to the south, the silver-haired general has not had a single happy day. On the way to the march, they were always attacked by the Yue people hiding in the woods, and the soldiers chased them into the woods, and the Yue people disappeared again. What's even more infuriating is that the Yue people still sneak attacked at night, making all the generals and soldiers very tired.
In this hellish place in the south, there are too few dry branches, and there is a surprisingly large amount of rain, and it can't burn a forest. There is also a good road to walk and walk to get out of the water, and it is more difficult to find a dry land than to climb to the sky. Ren Huan Pifu let Lao Tzu march steadily, but after entering Lingnan, there were more and more sick soldiers, lame, indiscriminate, and coughing. After a few days of walking, a thousand people were gone.
I can't go on like this, I think how majestic I was when I destroyed the Six Kingdoms, how could I be troubled by these savages. I was also tormented by the indiscriminate weather in this hellish place. So the silver-haired general thought of a way, and killed the savage when he saw it, the silver-haired general of heaven and earth had no choice, and there was still a way for the silver-haired general of the wild man. Kill all the savages, and Minyue will be peaceful. But who would have thought that these savages would still know how to stratagnate and cut off food.
The Yue people who were not killed by the silver-haired general united to deal with the Qin army. The silver-haired general wanted Lao Tzu to lead 60,000 Great Qin soldiers to be afraid of Mao, so the silver-haired general wanted to fight all the way. Fight to the royal city of Wuzhu and cut off the head of Wuzhu, and everything will be peaceful.
The savages didn't dare to fight with the silver-haired general in a dignified manner, and always did some sneaky things, and now the savages actually went around behind the army led by the silver-haired general and attacked the grain road, cutting off the silver-haired general's back road. The silver-haired general could only listen to the words of the little boy and came to the upper reaches of the Oujiang River, and the silver-haired general who was galloping on a horse thought that as long as Lao Tzu's soldiers were full of food and drink, tens of thousands of savages and Lao Tzu would kill him, and Lao Tzu would make the Yue people extinct.
