Chapter 191: Bluestone Valley
On the tenth day of the first month, at the time of Chen, the northern foot of the Jishan area of the Zhongtiao Mountain Range, Zhangdian Township.
Zhangdian Township is located in Dayang County, and to the north is Anyi County. Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a family surnamed Zhang who opened a shop here to serve the salt merchants, so it was called Zhangdian. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the capital of Yu Guoguo is located in the ancient city of Zhangdian, and the allusions such as false road felling, lips and teeth are cold, Bole Xiangma, and Suoji according to the map all occur here.
Zhangdian has the ancient salt road of Yuban as long as 16 miles, passes through the mountain from Zhongtiao Mountain, is Xia Yu excavated, from the salt pond to Maojindu in Dayang County, thousands of years is through this road to the salt of Hedong Pond continuously transported to the Central Plains.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, at the end of the ancient salt road in Yuban, in the bluestone valley near Wangyukou in the south of Anyi County, under the north wind and heavy snow, a white camp tent had been opened at some point, and under the cover of snow, there was almost no trace.
Inside and outside the tent, nearly 3,000 men and horses quietly gathered here, all dressed in white robes, eating dry food.
This is the rebel army that Han Xian crossed from the Zhongtian Mountains overnight, and it is only more than 20 miles away from the county seat of Anyi.
In front of the camp, the radiant Han Xian looked at Yang Lian, a sheep-bearded scribe, "Fortunately, I followed Mr.'s plan and arranged the camp tent meat in this bluestone valley early, otherwise I would have gone over the mountain overnight, and the sons and daughters would have nowhere to rest." ”
Yang Lian smiled, and couldn't stop praising again: "Tsk! The combat power of the Hedong Army is really extraordinary. From Fu Yan's military camp to this more than 100 miles, it was completed in one night, and there is still the strength of a battle, which is really extraordinary. ”
Han Xian was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "King Hongnong is deeply familiar with the way of military training, if he was in Baibo before, I am afraid that he would have to do it for a day and a night. ”
Yang Lian said hesitantly: "Don't mention King Hongnong, if it's just a lonely soul, it is imperative that we urgently lead the army to capture Anyi." Arrest Lu Zhi and He Hou, especially He Hou, life or death does not matter, otherwise I am afraid of rebirth. If he dies, Hedong will be in chaos! The general can take the opportunity to gather the rebels and take control of Hedong County. ”
Han Xian's face showed joy. He immediately said: "According to Mr. Yang's opinion, should we cultivate in this bluestone valley to avoid the daylight and wait until it gets dark to attack Anyi City, or will we rush after dinner and attack Anyi at noon?" ”
Yang Lian said leisurely: "The soldiers are fast, and they are afraid of change. Now the snow is not stopping, there are few pedestrians on the road, and the soldiers are wearing white robes, which is blessed by the heavens. Why be afraid! ”
Han Xian suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Yang's words are extremely true, haha, God blesses, now that we are close to Anyi, we only need to break through Anyi, we can occupy Hedong County, reproduce the prestige of Baibo, and hope that Mr. will help me." ”
"It's nature." Yang Lian stroked the sheep's whiskers under his chin. There was a faint hint of disdain in his eyes.
As he spoke, the sky was already bright, and he saw that most of the soldiers had finished eating. Han Xian laughed, stood up, raised his spear, shook the sky with pride, and shouted: "Sons, attack Anyi with me!" Recreate the name of Shiranami! ”
"Offense...... Anyi ...... White Wave ...... White"
I don't want Han Xian to roar. The soldiers in the valley did not respond much, most of them bowed their heads to eat, and their voices were sparse and intermittent.
"Ahem!" Yang Lian on the side couldn't help choking on dry food.
Han Xian's hand holding the spear high suddenly froze there, and a gloomy face turned from blue to red. From red to white.
"Attack Anyi! Recreate the name of Shiranami! General Han is mighty! At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, Han Xian looked over, but saw the military Sima Jia Ji, who was more than ten zhang away behind him, pulled out the long knife on his waist, and waved it violently, responding to himself.
"General Han is mighty! General Han is mighty! A group of soldiers shouted along, and soon the soldiers of the entire Bluestone Valley followed suit.
Han Xian was overjoyed and shouted: "Today, the general is known as 'General Bai Bo', and Jia Sima is named 'Captain of Great Righteousness', and he will do great things with all his sons!" ”
"General Bai Bo! General Bai Bo! Jia Ji encouraged the soldiers to shout again.
Yang Lian frowned on the side, always feeling that something seemed wrong.
Han Xian was full of ambition, and waved his spear: "Let's go!" ”
Almost at the same time, a voice sounded coldly: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”
Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes!
The wind and snow could not hide the screeching of feathered arrows and the tremor of bowstrings.
The dense rain of arrows poured down almost instantaneously on the 3,000 men and horses of Han Siam.
Hundreds of soldiers fell, almost all of them in blood.
At the mouth of the bluestone valley, a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, about 600 people, riding war horses in the shape of geese, all wearing black masks, holding bows and arrows, hanging waist knives on the left, and crossbows on the right.
"Ghost Guard!" Yang Lian exclaimed, his face pale.
"Yes, it's the Ghost Guard!" Han Xian's mouth moved with difficulty.
It is rumored that there is a guard around King Hongnong, known as the Ghost Shadow Guard, walking in the dark, black-clothed and black-faced black horse, without a shadow and without a trace, I don't know where it is stationed, I don't know who is in charge, I don't know when it comes from where, in the territory of Hedong to kill dozens of vicious bandits and rebellion in the local Haoqiang, never missed, did not leave a living mouth, arrows and crossbows, and the elite is unique. I didn't expect to be bumped into by myself today.
What scared Han Xian the most was how could the Ghost Shadow Guard appear here at this moment?! Could it really be that there is no shadow, no trace, and it comes from nowhere?!
A chill in his heart made Han Xian almost give up his intention to resist and was stunned.
"General Han! If they don't give an order, they are only 600 people, as long as they are killed, it will be easy to attack Anyi County. Yang Lian hissed.
Han Xian reacted at this time, watching those ruthless ghost shadow guards collect their bows and crossbows, and couldn't help but rush with blood, and immediately shouted: "Sons, rush up and kill these!" ”
Almost at the same time, a voice roared: "Stand back! Back off! Those who support the king of Hedong stand back!"
"Huh?" Han Xian turned back in disbelief, but saw that his newly appointed "Righteous Captain" Jia Ji was leading a wave of men and horses to retreat into the depths of the valley.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Before Han Xian, who was about to vomit blood, reacted, a wave of crossbow arrows from the Ghost Shadow Guard poured over, and hundreds of people fell to the ground in the wind and snow.
The archery skills of the Ghost Shadow Guard have been tempered and cooperated, and there are almost no missed arrows, and people do not shoot again.
After two rounds of arrow rain, there were almost no people standing in front of the camp except for the guards guarding Han Xian and Yang Lian. The rest was either in the tent or between the back camps. Under the cover of the camp tent, the battle bows and arrows in the back did not play much role.
Sonor!
The ghost guards drew their swords in unison, and the team formed an arc, and Pegasus came. There was not a trace of noise, no shouting and cheering, just silence, as if from hell.
"Kill!" Han Xian roared: "The Ghost Shadow Guard never leaves a living mouth, and those who retreat die." ”
Kill! Nearly a thousand soldiers rushed out from between the tents, spears in hand, to meet the ghost guards.
Most of these nearly 1,000 soldiers are Han Xianam's old Bai Bo department, who has followed Han Xian for many years, and the elite selected from the reorganization after Bai Bo's surrender has gone through the battlefield and has extraordinary combat power, which is also Han Xianam's greatest reliance.
The blades are connected, and they are killed in an instant.
The ghost shadow guards all cooperated closely, but Han Xian's subordinate soldiers were not ordinary rogues, they were all trained in a unified manner by Ji Ping's method of military training, and the three and five cooperated with each other, and it was difficult to kill for a while.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guard was Captain Jianzhong and Geng Zhong, the commander of the Ghost Shadow Guard, who slashed left and right with a long knife, blood flying under the heavy snow, and led dozens of guards to kill Han Xian and Yang Lian.
"Protect the General!" Dozens of guards immediately guarded Han Xian and Yang Lian. (To be continued.) )
