Chapter Ninety-Four: Burning the Mountain

The cavalry fought the fastest, before dark, the battle was over, the enemy Zhonglang general Dong Yue was beheaded by Guan Yu, most of the three thousand Qiang Hu cavalry were killed, and only a few routs fled into the wilderness.

In this battle, the victory was caught off guard by the enemy, Ji Ping's losses were not large, but the results were rich, and more than 2,000 war horses were captured, along with swords, spears, bows and arrows and other weapons.

In Xin'an City, Cao Cao, who was covered in blood and almost couldn't see his face clearly, choked up and saluted Ji in parallel: "Cao and my brothers are fortunate to be able to survive today, and they all depend on Changsheng." ”

Ji Ping pursed his lips, it seems that this Cao Cao guy also knows his face as a Shenwu King, fortunately, he disguised himself when he took off his mask, and his face was bandaged with wounds, so Cao Cao didn't recognize him, the former son of heaven.

At that moment, he helped Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Meng De is dedicated to begging thieves, loyal and brave to the world, and saving a hero, which is also my luck." ”

Cao Cao's face was ashamed, and he saw Ji Ping again when he was in danger of life and death, he and Bao Xin were really grateful, he was very grateful to the two of them among the Kwantung princes, his status was not high, and his family background was not as good as those famous families, and he was subjected to many calculations.

This time, Cao Cao was originally dependent on Zhang Miao to raise troops, not even counting the princes all the way, first playing the vanguard for the princes of Sour Zao, and Bao Xin's army defeated Xingyang, and the soldiers and horses were almost lost, but with the support of Ji Ping, the king of Shenwu, he recruited 8,000 soldiers again.

However, when the troops were stationed at Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao was at odds with Zhang Miao, and ordered Cao Cao and Bao Xin to be stationed on the right side of the Chinese army, separated from Zhang Miao's left army, in order to divide Zhang Miao's strength.

Calculated back and forth, Cao Cao and Bao Xin were not without resentment in their hearts towards these princes, only King Shenwu, or Ji Ping and Zhang Liao, were considered to be great favors to them, but because he had a lot of concerns, he didn't dare to interact too much with Ji Ping before, and at this time, seeing that Ji Ping was still the same as before, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, but he couldn't help but have some doubts, what is the origin of this Shenwu King?

The princes of Zhang Liao were able to rely on Ji Ping, the king of Shenwu, and Cao Cao subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Ji Ping's identity, but he didn't have a clue.

Ji Ping ignored Cao Cao's many thoughts, groaned, and divided the captured more than 2,000 war horses to Cao Cao and Bao Xin 500, and also divided some weapons, but the bows and arrows were all left by himself, just handed over to Cui Jun, and changed the clothes of the recruits he had gathered.

As for Cui Jun, he does have the open-minded demeanor of a famous person, before Ji Ping could speak, Cui Jun proposed to work hard with him temporarily, which made Ji Ping overjoyed, since this guy can be recognized by Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others, he naturally has some ability.

He did not appoint Cui Jun with an official position, but only said that it would not take two years to make Cui Jun, the Taishou of Hexi, worthy of his name, which made Cui Jun very happy.

Ji Ping's promise was not a momentary will, Hexi County is in the north of Pingyang County, Hedong County, west of Shangdang County, sandwiched in the northwest of the two counties, this place, he will take it sooner or later.

……

Dusk, Hedong County, Zhongtiao Mountain in the northwest of Dongyuan County.

Under the Hengling Pass, the fire was raging, the smoke was soaring into the sky, and the fire spread along the forests and weeds all over the mountains.

Li Dao and Yang Feng stormed Hengling Pass for three days, lost 2,000 soldiers and horses, and did not capture it, so they went crazy and set fire to the mountain.

Watching the fire spread to the mountain while the wind was blowing, Li Dao, who led the army, laughed arbitrarily and said, "Sons, rush up!" Before dark, break through Hengling Pass, enter Dongyuan tonight, slaughter to your heart's content, and enjoy yourself! ”

Whew!

When a group of Qianghu soldiers heard Li Dao's words, they were all in high spirits, and their eyes lit up, and they followed the fire far away, and rushed towards Hengling Pass on the mountain.

On the other side, Yang Feng, who had surrendered from the Baibo army, followed closely with 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The thorns, wooden thorns, and wild grasses blocking the mountain road along the way were burned, revealing traps one after another, and many corpses that had been burned to black charcoal, emitting a strange smell.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the Hengling Pass.

The brick wall of Hengling Pass was burned to black and hot, there was no one on the Guan Tower, several wooden arrow towers were burned down, and the two closed doors were burned into charcoal, a gust of wind blew, the charcoal door was crumbling, and pieces of black ash flew down, revealing the charcoal that was not burned through.

If you close the door like this, you can collapse with just one stab.

Li Wei laughed loudly and said: "The veteran surnamed Nalu has already been burned to death, come here, break the door, and enter the east wall!" ”

On the side of Yang Feng's army, a young general in his twenties and a sturdy figure glanced at Li Dao, who was laughing, and said to Yang Feng in a deep voice: "General, burning the mountain before was already an extremely evil act, and now he wants to enter Dongyuan County to slaughter and plunder. ”

Yang Feng showed hesitation: "Xu Huang, forget it, I'm a new general, it's really not appropriate to persuade me." ”

The young general Xu Huang helplessly turned his head to look at the laughing Li Dao, clenched his fists, and his face was pale: "I knew that Li Dao was so brutal, I shouldn't have followed General Yang here, I might as well continue to be my little official." ”

Under Li Wei's orders, more than a dozen Qianghu soldiers with spears rushed up and stabbed towards the gate!

Bang!

The door fell, sparks flew everywhere, and the Qiang Hu soldiers were about to rush in, when a deep shout came: "Release!" ”

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

Dozens of arrow feathers suddenly came out of the door, and more than a dozen Qianghu soldiers were instantly shot into hedgehogs, and they fell to the ground and died with a scream.

Almost at the same time, from the top of the black and hot tower, nearly a hundred archers suddenly appeared, pulling strings and releasing arrows.

A long and elegant general who was nearly fifty years old stood on top of the Guan Tower, although his face was covered with black ash and his clothes and armor were dirty, his body was as straight as a sword, it was Lu Zhi.

Airplanes! A burst of arrows shot down at the Li Dao soldiers at the front.

Yes! Whew!

The Qianghu soldiers at the front suddenly fell.

Li Dao, who was shot with an arrow unexpectedly, reacted painfully and exclaimed: "Ah! The enemy was not burned! Retreat, step back a stone's throw away. ”

The Qianghu soldiers, who were not dead, hurriedly retreated.

At this time, Xu Huang in Yang Fengjun's eyes looked at the elegant old man on the Guan Tower, his eyes were full of respect, and he just heard Li Dao shouting to retreat, his heart moved, and he shouted: "Retreat!" Hurry back! Watch out for enemy ambushes! ”

Turning around, he led a few hundred soldiers under his command and ran down the hill.

The soldiers in Yang Feng's army have been really afraid of the soldiers guarding Hengling Pass in the past few days, and when they saw Lu Zhi almost emerging from the fire, they were shocked, and when they saw Xu Huang's soldiers turn around and flee, they immediately followed suit, and soon more than 3,000 people followed and fled together, fully raising the style of the Baibo army that obeyed and dispersed in a hurry.

The Qianghu soldiers behind Li Dao's headquarters saw Yang Fengjun fleeing, and faintly heard Li Dao in front of him shouting to retreat, and immediately followed and fled without hesitation.

Under the Hengling Pass, Li Wei, who retreated a few steps with more than a dozen personal guards, and was about to turn back and charge, looked blankly at the subordinates who were still all over the mountains and fields, but fled in a hurry in the blink of an eye, messy in the wind.

A personal guard looked at Li Dao in a daze, turned around and secretly glanced at the archer, swallowed his saliva, and quietly reminded Li Dao: "General, do we still want to tackle key problems?" ”

"Ahh - Run! Only then did Li Wei react, screamed, and ran away.

On the Hengling Pass, Lu Zhi, who had always been indifferent, watched the three thousand soldiers and horses under the gate disappear in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help touching his gray nose, which was also a little messy.

Bang! A stunned archer longbow landed, and in this battle, he shot an arrow.

Only then did Lu Zhi react and ordered in a deep voice: "Arrange." ”

While hurriedly turning around and going down the pass, when he came to the back of the pass, Tang Wan was directing the people to rush to extinguish the fire everywhere, and when she saw Lu Zhi go down to the pass, with the support of the two eunuchs, she limped over and asked anxiously: "Uncle Lu, what's wrong?" Beat off the thieves so quickly? ”

Lu Zhi looked at Tang Wan in front of him, her clothes were dirty, her face was stained with black ash, her eyes were bloodshot, and her left foot was even more sprained, wrapped in layers of cloth.

Lu Zhi's mouth moved, tears appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly knelt down and said, "Fortunately, with the power of the queen, the thieves have retreated!" ”

"Ahh Tang Wan helped Lu Zhi up a little flustered: "Uncle Lu, hurry up, what are you doing?" They were all soldiers desperately killing thieves, and the concubines did not go into battle. ”

Lu Zhi stood up and said: "The queen has the virtue of Fengyi in the world, and the luck of the true son." ”

Tang Wan said a little embarrassed: "Uncle Lu has an overreputation, and the concubine is now the wife of the son, not the queen...... In fact, the concubine just wants to contribute to her husband. ”

Lu Zhi exclaimed: "The queen has done a good job, Zhi has never seen anyone like the queen." ”

This time Li Wei set fire to the mountain, Lu Zhi was also shocked at the time, it was early spring, the trees had not yet sprouted, the mountains were full of trees and dead grass, if it was once a fire, it would be a fire burning the mountain, and Hengling Pass could not be defended at all.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat down the mountain and set up defenses in front of Dongyuan County to resist Li Dao.

But Tang Wan, who was leading the medical team to help the wounded soldiers in the back at that time, strongly opposed the retreat.

Tang Wan believed that Li Wei would inevitably tackle the problem after the fire, and once he retreated to Dongyuan, it would cause casualties among the people, so the soldiers hid in the pits and trenches dug in the Hengling Pass, and as long as they did their best to cover the soil of the ditch around a circle of dead grass, they could avoid the fire.

Lu Zhi was quite hesitant about this, and he also knew the risk of retreating to Dongyuan, but the key to staying here was that Tang Wan could not afford to lose, not to mention that these soldiers under his command were all from ordinary people, if they fought to the death, they were all panicked against natural disasters such as mountain fires.

Just as the fire was approaching step by step, and Lu Zhi was still hesitating, Tang Wan jumped down a newly dug trench, raised her head and bit her lip to look at Lu Zhi and the soldiers: "As long as you use soil to cover the wild grass on all sides, if you can't burn it by hiding here, I'm not afraid of being timid, and you don't have to be afraid." ”

Rumble!

At that time, all the soldiers were ashamed and excited, Tang Wan was a delicate and timid woman, how could they retreat from these seven-foot men, not to mention that many of their elites knew Tang Wan's true identity.

Without Lu Zhi's order, they immediately began to shovel soil and bury grass without hesitation.

So far, the crisis of Hengling Pass has been saved.

Afterwards, they learned that Tang Wan's foot was sprained when she jumped off the pit, but she never said a word. r1152
