Chapter 1075 is for freedom

30,000 iron rode down the spiritual gate

In the night, the iron horses ran like thunder.

Just when the martial arts conference in Chang'an City was being lively, Fang Xie had already left Chunbo Pavilion City with his elite cavalry and went straight to Lingmen Pass. The speed of the light ride was extremely fast, and after leaving the Chunbo Pavilion City, it took only ten days to reach the Qin River, and Du Dingbei, who had already received the general's order, had already led the troops to build the pontoon bridge, and the cavalry drove directly over almost without delay.

Du Dingbei was ordered by Fang Xie to guard the first line of the Qin River, and Fang Xie had already sent someone to let him build a pontoon bridge before he left Chang'an City. Fang Xie didn't stay long in Qinhe, and left after explaining some things to Du Dingbei. Du Dingbei sent thirty miles before returning, and then ordered to strictly guard the pontoon bridge. There is no need to dismantle these pontoon bridges, and it won't be long before the army of Chang'an City will go south and pass through here.

After leaving the Qin River, a horse is flat.

From the Qin River to Lingmen Pass, along the south bank of the river all the way to the west.

Lingmen Pass was built on Zhengming Mountain, which separates Shujing Road from Jiangbei Province. The topography of Shujing Road is very similar to that of Shandong Province in the northwest, both of which are long in the north and south poles and short in the east and west. The difference is that on one side of Shandong Road is the Wolf Milk Mountain, and on the other side is the plain. And Shujing Road, one side is Yishui, and one side is Zhengming Mountain.

However, if you are contending for Ming Mountain, you will not be able to enter Jiangbei Road.

And to cross Zhengming Mountain, the only way is to pass the spiritual gate.

This place is only dangerous, and it can be seen.

The strategy of the Black Flag Army is to stop the Mengyuan people to the west of Yishui as much as possible, and if they can't be stopped, there is still a spiritual gate to guard. The distance between Lingmen Pass and Yishui is actually the width of Shujing Road. Before coming here, many soldiers thought that the Lingmen Pass was next to Yishui, and outside the Lingmen Pass was the battlefield of fierce battles with the Mengyuan people.

After arriving here, the soldiers realized that there was still a whole Shujing Road in between.

To the west of Yishui is Shanjiang Road, and Song regretted that he was guarding Ping'an County, Ping'an County, Shanjiang Road. After Ping'an County is Yishui, Yishui to the east is Shujing Road, Shujing Road and then east is Zhengming Mountain, Zhengming Mountain is Jiangbei Road to the east.

Because the Mengyuan people stepped up their offensive, part of the defenders of Lingmen Pass had already been transferred to Yishui to support. Yan Zeng, who originally led the troops to guard the Lingmen Pass, had already led the army to the east bank of Yishui to set up defenses, and now it was the veteran Liu Enjing who was guarding the Lingmen Pass.

"See the prince!"

Because of guarding the customs, Liu Enjing did not participate in Fang Jie's ceremony of being called king, so he made a big gift when he met this time, and his title became that of the prince.

"Old general, please get up."

Fang Xie took two steps forward and helped Liu Enjing up: "I haven't seen you for a few months, the old general is working hard to guard the pass." ”

Liu Enjing hurriedly shook his head: "The war is in Yishui, and it's not hard to be anxious here." The minister was looking forward to the lord coming, because as soon as the lord came, it meant that the counterattack against the Mengyuan people was about to begin. This battle has dragged on for several months, and it is time for the people of Meng Yuan to know that we know how powerful our Black Flag Army is. Lord, the minister wants to fight! Although the responsibility of guarding the pass is heavy, the bones of the body of the war minister are rusty, the knife must be sharp when it sees blood, and the bones of the body must be exercised by fighting on the battlefield. ”

"Haha"

Fang Xie laughed: "Since the old general is eager to fight, then I will allow you." After I led the troops through the Lingmen Pass, you left 3,000 elite soldiers to guard the pass, and then led the army to come. If nothing else, the counteroffensive will begin just in time when you get to the east bank of Yishui. ”

"Great!"

Liu Enjing immediately became excited, this veteran did not catch up with the first western expedition at the beginning, and had been looking forward to Meng Yuanren's real fight. After all, so many of his old friends led troops to the northwest back then, thinking that they could make more achievements, but they were defeated and died one by one.

Perhaps, he has more feelings than others.

"Lord, the news just came from the east bank of Yishui yesterday, the offensive of the Mengyuan people is becoming more and more fierce day by day, and the minister has been worried after hearing about it, I am afraid that this is a sign that Meng Ge is going to escape."

Fang Xie nodded: "Nine times out of ten, that's why I hurried from Chang'an City." In the land of the Central Plains, how can Mengyuan Tartars come when they want to, and they can leave if they want? ”

"Lord, if you can send a good general to lead the troops around behind Meng Yuan and block his way back, this battle may be able to capture Meng Ge alive! Mengyuan has been established for more than 1,000 years, except for the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Emperor Mengyuan and the Great Sui Taizu Emperor fought against each other and suffered some losses, the war in the Central Plains, the Mengyuan people have always had an advantage. I have to say that the cavalry of the Mengyuan people is indeed very strong, and during the Zheng State of the previous dynasty, the northwest was broken by the Mengyuan several times, and the people were ravaged...... If you can capture Meng Yuan Khan this time, it will be a shame! For thousands of years, there has not been such a long distance as Meng Yuan's Great Khan leading his troops deep into the Central Plains, and Meng Ge is too conceited. If he can be captured alive, Meng Yuan will inevitably collapse. ”

Fang Xie said with a smile: "I have already arranged for someone to go, old general, this time you will strive to capture Meng Ge in person, so that you can leave your name in history." ”

Liu Enjing said excitedly: "As a general, if you can meet this battle, this life is enough!" ”

Fang Xie said as he walked: "Old general, after you lead the troops to the east bank of Yishui, you don't have to wait for my military order to act. You can take your troops downstream to Yishui, and I will arrange for the sailors to meet them. After you cross the river, don't worry about the war, just guard the main road to the south of Ping'an County. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Enjing was stunned: "If Meng Ge is defeated, he will inevitably flee to the northwest, why does the lord let his ministers guard the southeast?" ”

Fang Xie smiled: "You just have to go, there is no great merit waiting for you." ”

……

……

The team immediately started again after replenishing supplies at Lingmen Pass, and for light riders, the width of this thing in Shujing Road was really not far away. Of the 30,000 elite cavalry that Fang Xie brought this time, a large part of them were veterans of the Black Flag Army when it was founded, and the combat power of these cavalry was extraordinary.

Zhuge Wuyun and Liu Xuri were both generals who could lead an army alone when the Black Flag Army was created.

These two people were also the generals of the first expedition to the west of the Great Sui, and the disgrace of the fiasco and the collapse of the 700,000 army in an instant, the two of them have not forgotten it until now. In fact, Fang Xie really picked up a big bargain, after the defeat, after escaping from the grassland, the team gathered by building a large camp on the Wolf Milk Mountain can be described as the elite of the elite. To survive such a rout, the quality of these people can be imagined.

The power that Yang Kai, the county king, had accumulated on the Wolf Milk Mountain back then, all of them were given to Fang Jie.

This team is the team of the Black Flag Army.

It is precisely because of this team that Fang Xie has achieved the feat of spanning thousands of miles. From training troops on the grassland, returning to the northwest, and then going straight to the southwest, this team has been tempered thousands of times. Chen Dingnan, who is now resisting Meng Lie in the northwest, is actually the earliest Black Flag Army. However, most of the men and horses brought by Cui Zhongzhen were soldiers who were trained after the establishment of the Suzaku Mountain camp.

Nothing to say all the way

Fang Xie led 30,000 horses from Lingmen Pass into Shujing Road, and for another ten days, he arrived on the east bank of Yishui.

This place is called Qilipo.

Opposite Qilipo is Ping'an County.

At this time, there were Yan Zeng's department, Xu Xiaogong's department, and the sailor Duan Zheng's department, no less than 100,000 horses. Relying on the danger of Yishui, even though the Mengyuan army on the other side of the river was no less than 500,000, the Black Flag Army still did not fall behind. In this blocking battle, the one who made the greatest contribution was the sailor.

"Meet the prince!"

These generals all met with great gifts.

"How's the war going?"

After Fang Xie asked everyone to get up, he didn't say anything to greet him, and asked directly about the war.

"Strange"

Duan Zheng's answer was somewhat unexpected by Fang Jie.

"Strange? Where is it strange? ”

Fang asked.

Duan Zheng said: "A few days ago, the Mengyuan people attacked every day at any cost, but since the day before yesterday, the offensive has slowed down, and there has not been an attack until now. The minister was worried that the Mengyuan people were going to withdraw, so he specially sent scouts to the other side by boat to secretly investigate, but found that the number of men and horses in the Mengyuan camp had not decreased, and after observing for a long time, there was no sign of the movement of troops and horses. ”

"No fight, no leaving?"

Fang Xie was silent for a while and then shook his head: "This is indeed a little strange. ”

"And there's that."

Duan Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side: "There, is the camp of the Mengyuan Black Mountain Army, the combat power of this Black Mountain Army is still above the Mengyuan wolf horse, and those soldiers are not afraid of death." However, this afternoon, the Montenegrin army withdrew no less than ten miles to the west, and it was always the Montenegrin army that had been attacking before. ”

"Over there is the big camp of the Mengyuan wolf cavalry, after the Black Mountain Army retreated ten miles, the Mengyuan wolf cavalry also retreated ten miles, and the two camps are still side by side, but they are not connected as before."

Fang Xie pondered for a while, and pointed to a big boat: "Get on the boat, I'm going to cross the river to see!" ”

Without waiting for everyone to dissuade him, Fang Xie had already strode out.

Standing on the bow of the big ship, Fang Xie held his clairvoyance to the other side to observe. On the other side of the river, the wolf cavalry could be seen patrolling back and forth, but the battalion had indeed withdrawn at least ten miles away. This is obviously a bit abnormal, if the Meng Yuan people are going to withdraw, there is no need to only evacuate these ten miles. Fang Xie had speculated before that the Mengyuan people's onslaught was to cover up and retreat, but now, after the Mengyuan people's onslaught, they stopped, but they didn't leave.

"Over there!"

Duan Zheng suddenly pointed in a direction, which was the empty place of the Black Mountain Army Camp and the Wolf Cavalry Camp. When I was on the east bank of the river, because of the terrain, I couldn't see the scene here, and when the big boat was about to reach the west bank of the river, I saw that between the camp of the Black Mountain Army and the camp of the Mengyuan people, there were two groups of men and horses facing each other.

"I'm afraid that the Mengyuan people have caused infighting?"

Xu Xiaogong speculated: "The lord sent people to spread the news of the rebellion of Menglie in the northwest, could it be that Meng Ge really believed it, and the Montenegrin army's man named Gai Yu also believed it, so what contradiction was there between Gai Yu and Meng Ge?" ”

"Too obvious ......"

Fang Xie suddenly said these three words.

Too obvious?

Duan Zheng, Xu Xiaogong and the others didn't understand what Fang Xie meant at first, but after thinking for a while, Yan Zeng suddenly thought: "What does the lord mean, Meng Yuan people are making an illusion?" ”

……

……

Mengyuan wolf rode the camp

In the tallest tent.

Meng Ge glanced at the three human heads on the tray in front of him, and couldn't help frowning. These are three human heads with the same face, and they have the same name called Da Zizi.

At this time, the two people sitting opposite Meng Ge, one was the general of the Montenegrin Army, and the other was a living Da Zi.

"Now, Great Khan, you can rest assured, right?"

This living freedom is the second great freedom that day. It was he who first began to suspect the god in the Great Wheel Temple.

Meng Ge nodded: "What is the purpose of you doing this?" ”

Gai Yu was silent for a while, and then said very solemnly: "I don't want to be an enemy of the Great Khan, but I don't want to fight this battle either. The Great Khan should know that no matter whether this rumor is true or false, we have it on our side, and there must be one on Menglie's side. Therefore, nine times out of ten, Meng Lie has really led his troops back. ”

"I killed the three Great Freedoms because I wanted to tell the Great Khan that if you want the Great Freedom to kill me, it is impossible to succeed. But I'm going to kill you, it's easy. I didn't do anything, not because I was afraid of anything, but because I didn't want to mess up the grassland. As for the future, let's finish the battle in front of us. ”

Meng Ge asked: "Do you want to set up a situation to make the Black Flag Army think that I have a conflict with you and bring the Black Flag Army over?" ”

Da Zizi nodded: "Exactly, as long as the Black Mountain Army and the Great Khan and your wolf cavalry pretend to fight, the Black Flag Army will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will cross the river to attack." When the time comes, the Black Mountain Army and the Wolf Cavalry suddenly surround it, and the Black Flag Army will be defeated. In this way, the Great Khan was able to return to the steppe without any worries. ”

Meng Ge hesitated for a moment and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

Da Zizi replied seriously: "Take a road that may take some detours, but ...... It's for freedom. ”

He pointed to Gai Yu: "He is ......"

Then he pointed to himself: "Me too." ”
