Qiu Yizhi sighed and said, "Mr. is right, but I have seen the role of the secret path I don't know how many times......"

He suddenly thought that he had relied on the ability of Tianzun to dig tunnels to rescue the trapped Youyan King Zheng Ronglai from the prison of the Criminal Department. This is not a glorious thing, Qiu Yizhi, Zhao Chengxiao, Wei Chi Jiming and others who know the truth have already sworn a poisonous oath never to confide out half a word.

Therefore, halfway through Qiu Yi's words, he swallowed the second half of the sentence back and changed his words: "Several times we have almost wiped out all the cult believers, but they have all escaped from the tunnels, making us empty of our spirits, but we have been thrown into vain. ”

Only then did Lin Shuhan know that digging tunnels was indeed a useful technique, and sighed: "Sure enough, Lin is pedantic, it seems that no matter what kind of ability he has, as long as he practices diligently and keeps improving, there must be a place to exert his strengths." ”

Qiu Yizhi then asked, "Actually, it's much more than that...... Mr. is talented, the so-called 'show talent does not go out, can know the world'. I don't know if you have heard of how the Youyan army broke through the capital Luoyang in the battle of rebellion? ”

Lin Shuhan pondered for a moment and said, "How can Lin know such a secret?" It's just that I heard that it was the emperor who exerted his heavenly might, so he summoned thunder from outside the clouds, and the Luoyang city wall collapsed in several places at once, and then the city was broken. ”

Qiu Yizhi sneered: "Such rumors, does Mr. Lin believe it?" ”

Lin Shuhan smiled slyly: "This kind of thing, Lin doesn't dare not believe it!" After all, the induction of heaven and man is the doctrine of the saints. Since the current emperor is succeeded by Mingjun, the heavens will inevitably rain auspiciousness, and Lin can't help but believe it! ”

Qiu Yizhi couldn't laugh, and asked again: "Not long ago, Mr. Lin always saw with his own eyes the passage of the third brother and Mr. Lin who escaped from the Lingnan King base, right?" The two mountains at the exit of the basin were blown off, and Mr. would never think that this was also auspicious, right? ”

Although Lin Shuhan is a master of Confucianism, he does not think so, and what he said is just a joke. Now that he heard Qiu Yizhi say so seriously, he also said with a straight face: "Of course not." I remember that at that time, His Royal Highness asked the adults to leave a cart of baggage behind, but the adults insisted on taking it in the queue, and in the end, it was the things in the car that had such an earth-shattering effect, presumably the adults must have set up some exquisite mechanism in it, right? ”

Qiu Yizhi was a little proud, but he didn't laugh: "Actually, it's not a subtle mechanism, and Mr. Lin often sees this thing." It is just the Lantern Festival on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the firecrackers set off by every household. ”

Lin Shuhan was stunned for a moment, and he already understood most of it in his heart, but he still had some doubts: "Firecrackers are just things for fun and fun, Lin has also read a few notebooks, which have written a few craftsmen who want to use firecrackers to ascend to the sky and fly, but it is just whimsical, can it have such power?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded: "That's because they are lawless." During the rebellion, the Luoyang city wall was blown down, which was also a means used, first digging tunnels in the city walls and tunnels, and then burying gunpowder in the tunnels...... In fact, this is also the siege method brought by the Tianzun Sect from the Western Regions. ”

Lin Shuhan listened to Qiu Yizhi speak in an extremely flat tone, while cold sweat gradually broke out on his back spine, and his voice that he had tried to suppress still showed an obvious panicked tone: "Could it be that Heavenly Venerable Sect Master Wen Honghui also knows such a siege technique?" ”

Qiu Yizhi pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know." Looking at it now, it is difficult for the Lingnan army to win when it encircles Jinling, and it does not use the method of gunpowder bombardment, so it seems that it has not mastered such a skill. Or maybe Wen Honghui is cunning and refuses to teach all the secrets of the cult to the king of Lingnan......"

Lin Shuhan interrupted Qiu Yizhi's words indignantly: "Such a disaster, why didn't you drown in the Yangtze River in the first place!" If you have another chance this time, you can't let him go again! ”

Qiu Yizhi remembered that a few days ago, Wen Lingjiao had given his body to himself, Wen Honghui really fell into his hands, and he was under the trap of the mouse, and he might not be able to make up his mind to kill him in the Fa......

Qiu Yizhi pondered, and suddenly heard a roaring voice from outside the door: "My lord! Oh no! Something happened! The voice reached Qiu Yizhi's study, shaking the small room a little.

It turned out that Wang Lao Wu, who was originally in charge of the order under Qiu Yizhi, sent a letter to Luoyang, but he encountered the rebellion of the King of Lingnan and the passage to the south was blocked, so he could only stay in Luoyang to run errands for the Third Highness Zheng Miao, and could not return to Qiu Yizhi's side in Shanyin County. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi called the "black-necked toad" among the soldiers to take charge of the order.

Although this "black-necked toad" is not as good as Wang Lao Wu's scud, his voice is loud enough that he can hear it clearly a hundred steps away, although it is quite useful in a noisy environment, sometimes it is also a little annoying.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi got up and opened the door, and shouted at the "black-necked toad" from a distance: "What are you yelling at? The manly man wants Mount Tai to collapse in front of him without changing his face, and he yells when something happens a little thing, like what? Something, you say slowly. ”

"Black-necked Toad" gasped twice and said, "When this ...... 'iron-headed Jiao' eldest brother led people out of the city to patrol, he found that a large army came from the west. Brother Zhao Chengxiao has already gathered the brothers and asked me to come over and inform the adults. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, his brain was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "You tell me clearly, how many troops are coming?" Where did it come from? But the army of Lingnan Province? He asked three questions in a row, one more urgent than the other, and one louder than the other.

"Black-necked toad" looked at Qiu Yizhi's anxious look, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said: "Don't worry, adults, don't tell me 'Mount Tai collapses in front'......"

Qiu Yizhi impatiently interrupted the "black-necked toad" and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, I asked you just now, you told me carefully." ”

The black-necked toad replied, "This...... The eldest brother who ...... 'Iron Head Jiao' said that there was fog in the mountains when he went, and he only vaguely saw soldiers and horses coming towards this side, and he couldn't see it when he ran dozens of steps away from the opposite side, so he hurriedly ran back to report the news. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he couldn't wait, and when he turned around, he said to Lin Shuhan: "I'm afraid that the Lingnan Army is coming, I will personally go to the front of the battle to command, and strive to block the enemy army for a while." Together with Xu Rong, Mr. Lin was busy bringing the people outside the city into the city, and when our army returned, he would wait for an opportunity to respond. ”

Lin Shuhan nodded as he listened.

Qiu Yizhi has seen the strength of the Lingnan Army, and knows that the combat effectiveness of the Lingnan Army is far superior to that of the Jiangnan Jiedu Army, and if more than 1,000 people attack, he may be able to retreat with his whole body; If the other party sends two or three thousand people over, and the two hundred people in his hands are afraid that they will hit the stone with an egg, and there will be no return.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yi's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of tragedy, and he instructed: "In case our army is defeated, if the enemy pursues urgently, Mr. Lin should not open the door rashly." After I was killed with the enemy, he led the whole city to surrender. The king of Lingnan is a person who wants to be the emperor, and he must curry favor with the scholars of Shilin, and with his reputation in the literary world, he must not embarrass Mr. At that time, I will ask my husband to intercede for the people on my behalf, hoping that these innocent people will be released and not slaughtered and killed......"

Lin Shuhan was sad when he heard Qiu Yizhi's words, and his eyes were full of tears, and he said: "My lord Ji people have their own natural appearance, so don't worry...... In case the situation is unfavorable, Lin will also deal with the aftermath......" can no longer be said.

Qiu Yizhi nodded, calmed down, and beckoned: "Go, prepare a horse for me, let's go out of the city and take a look!" ”

The news of the enemy's attack has not yet reached the city, and the people in the city are quite calm, but they can't help but feel strange when they see all the troops of Qiu Yi's place assembled, as if they were going to fight, and every family ran out of their houses to check the situation, but none of them dared to come forward to ask.

Qiu Yizhi saw that the people and horses had finished lining up on the playground in front of the county government, and did not speak to admonish, but pointed forward with a horse whip, and left Shanyin County through the city avenue under the escort of Zhao Chengxiao and Wei Chi Jiming.

After seeing with his own eyes that the main gate of the newly reinforced county town was suddenly closed in recent days, Qiu Yizhi took a deep breath of relief, called the "Iron Head Jiao" and said: "Okay, you 'Iron Head Jiao', such a simple errand has not been completed, and you dare to come back and die without seeing anything?" Where the enemy is, lead me quickly! ”

"Tietou Jiao" also knew that he hadn't investigated carefully enough, and after listening to Qiu Yizhi's two lessons, he didn't dare to refute it, but only said: "It's in the west of the city, and it's just a blink of an eye along the main road." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, and said to Zhao Chengxiao: "This side of the road is narrow. I took Ji Ming, led eighteen personal soldiers, and ordered Meng Hong and other thirty crossbows to take the first step and go to the mountain outpost to observe the enemy's situation. Brother Zhao led the other brothers to block the path into the city, okay? ”

Zhao Chengxiao thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed better to lead the army to meet the enemy head-on than to let the commander of Qiu Yizhi fight the enemy, so he agreed, led his men and set off.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi also beckoned to follow the mountain from a small road next to the main road and came to a sentry post.

Since the king of Lingnan rebelled and Qiuyi's Hangzhou city was defeated and had to retreat to Shanyin County, he began to set up outposts on the mountains on both sides of several roads around Shanyin County. Although these posts were built in a hurry and appeared to be a little rudimentary, they stored a large amount of food in them, and there was a water source next to them, enough for dozens or hundreds of troops to hold out in isolation for ten days and half a month.

The outpost that Akiyiyuki is now entering sits on a rocky rock halfway up a hill on the side of the road, and it looks down just enough to overlook the path between the valleys, but from below you can't see the whole outpost.

Therefore, Qiu Yi's probe checked, but saw that the fog was really very thick, dyeing the mountain col into milky white, and a gust of mountain wind blew through, slightly blowing away a cloud of smoke, and sure enough, I saw that many soldiers were marching on the mountain road. These soldiers did not seem to be familiar with the road, and in the fog, the speed of advance was very slow, and if they walked step by step, I was afraid that they might not be able to reach the foot of Shanyin County from now until it was dark.

Qiu Yizhi wanted to look closer, but the fog was thicker again, covering the col again, so that he could no longer see his opponent's situation clearly.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi was not very anxious - he knew that if he couldn't see the opponent, the opponent would be even more invisible, and now the enemy was attacking and defending, so the situation was obscure, and it should be beneficial to himself.

So he turned back to check Zhao Chengxiao's side, and saw that he was acting vigorously and resolutely, and he had quickly lined up the formation, and stacked countless troubled times, tree branches and other obstacles in front of the formation.
