Chapter 21: The Burning Goose

Lin Yuan didn't know anything about the information on the Internet.

Because at this time, he was planning an important ambush battle.

After Yang Mi entered the Western District, he did not immediately kill Wushan Town, but divided his troops into three routes and began to clear some of the remaining villages around him, forming a pocket array, forming a huge encirclement of Wushan Town.

According to Zhou Kang's intelligence, the 30,000 Chinese army led by Yang Mi suddenly stopped advancing when they reached Yunyang Mountain, which was still 50 miles away from Wushan Town, while the other two armies were divided into east and west, speeding up the capture of scattered villages.

Lin Yuan knew that he couldn't let Yang Mi's pockets tie up smoothly, he had to take the initiative to attack and inflict some heavy losses on the rebels in the east and west, and it was best to eliminate one of them.

As for whether to choose the rebels on the west route or the rebels on the east route, it is based on the marching routes of the rebels on both routes, as well as the terrain along the way as a reference.

After researching, Lin Yuan decisively chose the rebels on the Western Road.

If the rebels on the West Road want to form an encirclement of Wushan Town, they must pass through a place called Yandangji.

At the end of September, the thatch in the ravine was withered and yellow, and only a fire was needed to ignite the entire ravine and bury all the rebels of 10,000 people.

Yandangji is located in the southwest of Wushan Town, only 30 miles apart.

Lin Yuan immediately ordered 500 people from the Fierce Archer Battalion, as well as 1,000 people from 2 heavy armored infantry battalions, and 1,000 people from 2 third-order infantry battalions, which were all his elites.

He must fight and return quickly, otherwise when Yang Mi finds out, he will inevitably attack Wushan Town.

When the time comes, Wushan Town will be lost!

After the army was assembled, Lin Yuan led Yuwen Chengdu and others to Yandangji to ambush late at night.

In Wushan Town, no one knows that half of the town's army has been siphoned off.

……

The weather in September was exceptionally sunny.

The chief general of the rebels on the Western Road, named Jin Cong, is Yang Mi's confidant general.

Jin Cong is very burly and brave in battle, which is deeply liked by Yang Mi.

This time, the Western Route Army led by him was responsible for clearing the remnants of the villages around Wushan Town and blocking the western retreat of Wushan Town.

Jin Cong led the army, and in a few days, more than a dozen villages in Lianke, today, he will lead the army to the north and cooperate with Yang Qi to form a siege of Wushan Town.

Jin Cong didn't understand why a small Wushan town would make Yang Mi so jealous.

He felt that the 50,000 rebel army should wipe out the entire Wushan Town in one go, instead of engaging in this pocket formation, so that the family could not retreat.

When the army arrived at Yandangji, the scouts in front came to report,

"Your Excellency, we have arrived at Yandang Rock ahead!"

"Forward!" Jin Cong didn't think about it, so he whipped forward.

"General, no!" And at this moment, one of Jin Cong's lieutenants suddenly spoke to stop him.

This lieutenant was nine feet tall, with a bee-waisted ape arm and a huge horse lance.

"The road of Yandang Rock is long and narrow, the two walls are difficult and dangerous, it is very suitable for ambush, the general sees it, the sky above Yandang Rock, the birds hovering and not falling, this is a sign of an ambush, if our army breaks in, it will be tricked by the enemy!"

"Hahaha, General Zhang is too worried!"

Jin Cong didn't laugh back, and there was a hint of arrogance in his expression,

"First, the birds are in the air, and my army is passing through this place and disturbing them."

"Second, you say this is a good place for ambushes, but what army can ambush here? The army of Wushan Town, under the supervision of Marshal Yang, did not move a single soldier. Ordinary lords, when they saw us, they had already fled from the wind, and they couldn't hide, so how dare they come to ambush? ”

"Third, even if we are really ambushed here, with our courage and 10,000 troops, we can still break out of Yandangji."

The other lieutenants saw that Jin Cong's analysis was the head of the way, and they all admired it.

Only the deputy general Zhang just now frowned tightly, with a hint of helplessness.

The army has won successive battles, and this group of generals is invincible in Gangneung Mansion, and they have developed an arrogant atmosphere.

As the saying goes, the arrogant soldier will be defeated!

However, Jin Cong did not follow his advice, and Vice General Zhang could only sigh helplessly.

The army continued to march and slowly drove into Yandang Rock.

At this time, Lin Yuan led the battalion of archers to shoot hard, and was ambushing on the top of the mountain, and after seeing Jin Cong leading the army into Yandangji, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

"The fish has taken the bait!"

Zhong Xiang's rebels have won successive battles in Gangneung Mansion, and they have long developed an arrogant atmosphere, knowing that there is a trap in front of them, they will also take the initiative to jump in.

This is the reason why Lin Yuan wants to ambush.

When the Zhong Xiang rebels drove to the middle of the ravine, the road ahead was blocked by several boulders, Jin Cong ordered the rebels to stop, Lin Yuan waited for this opportunity, stood up directly from the top of the mountain, raised his knife and ordered.

"Shoot the arrows!"

All 500 heavily armored archers appeared, bent their bows and arrows, and their arrows were wrapped in sackcloth soaked in fire oil, and they were lit and shot into the ravine.

"Not good! There is an ambush! ”

Vice General Zhang spotted the ambush at the first time, his complexion changed greatly, and at the same time, the bridge of his nose moved, as if he smelled a trace of peculiar smell in the air.

"The ground has been doused with oil, everyone be careful!"

Boom!

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the rocket shot down, igniting the dry thatch in the ravine, fueling the fire oil, and instantly spreading like a fiery snake ten miles away.

The Zhongxiang rebels in the ravine suddenly fell into a panic.

Many of the rebels were caught on fire and fled in terror.

For a time, there was chaos and trampling.

"Don't mess around!"

At the critical moment, Jin Cong stood up and stopped the chaos of the soldiers.

"The enemy will be on the top of the mountain, rush up with me and kill him!"

I have to say that Jin Cong dared to skip people, and was the first to rush up the mountain, and he actually wanted to kill the top of the mountain and take Lin Yuan's head.

However, how could Lin Yuan do what he wanted, before he could charge, the rolling stones and rolling logs on the top of the mountain all smashed down, forcing Jin Cong and his group down again.

Stoned to death a large area.

Moreover, arrows from the top of the hill fell like rain, and patches of rebels fell.

Wails, fears, and begs for mercy were mixed again.

The fire was pervasive, and the smoke and fire burned so that more than 1,000 rebels fell in an instant.

"General, you must hurry up and rush out!"

At the critical moment, Vice General Zhang spoke again.

And this time, Jin Cong did not choose to object, in fact, he also knew that Deputy General Zhang's reminder was reasonable just now, but he was proud and complacent in his heart, and he didn't take Lin Yuan in his eyes at all.

It's too late to regret it now.

"Rush with me!"

Jin Cong led the rest of the army and rushed towards the outside of the ravine.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan only ordered the battalion of archers to shoot the rebels at the top of the mountain, while he himself rode his war horse and went straight to the valley mouth.

Where, he also arranged a large army to stand by.

By the time Lin Yuan arrived at the heavy infantry battalion, Jin Cong and the others had just rushed out of Yandangji.

At this time, there were only 3,000 people left, and everyone was smoky and embarrassed.

Jin Cong saw Lin Yuan who was waiting for him at a glance, and he was immediately furious, and led the remaining 3,000 troops to rush towards Lin Yuan.

"Kill!"

Vice General Zhang is also taking the lead, and now, they have no way out.

"They're out of morale, kill me!"

Lin Yuan is not a soft persimmon, seeing that this group of people is still brave, he immediately raised his sword and led all the soldiers under his command to rush forward and kill.

Two armies, directly on the hills, culled together.

Hundreds of people fell in an instant.

Lin Yuan galloped on his horse, the phoenix mouth knife rotated and slashed in his hand, and the Qinglong knife technique was interpreted to the extreme, and as soon as the knife fell, a rebel soldier would inevitably fall.

At the same time, he also noticed that the few generals on the opposite side did have some skills, and the third-order hoplites couldn't stop them.

Especially the deputy general Zhang, using a very long horse lance, splitting left and right, the foot armor with extremely high defense was actually like paper paste, a bucket and a hole, and the heavy armored infantry was constantly killed, and Lin Yuan, who saw it, was heartbroken.

This person is definitely not simple!

And just as Lin Yuan was watching, the deputy general also saw Lin Yuan, he actually left the entanglement of the heavy infantry directly, and rushed straight to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's expression was horrified, and he hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran towards the headquarters camp.

But the general still didn't give up, and actually followed Lin Yuan directly and rushed into Lin Yuan's army, and everywhere he went, no one could do it.

Seeing that the horse lance was getting closer and closer to the forest.

"Stop hurting my lord!"

At the critical moment, Yu Ban arrived in time, and the iron halberd in his hand slashed out towards the back of the general's head.

However, the general seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, a low bow, dodging the sneak attack of the ban, and at the same time, the horse lance slashed obliquely, and actually stabbed Yu Ban in the left shoulder with a shot.

Lin Yuan, who watched it, was terrified, even if it was the five tiger generals in the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't stab Yu Ban so easily, right?

After Yu Ban was injured, he still fought with the warrior with his halberd, but he was always at a disadvantage and was in danger.

After seven or eight rounds of fighting, Yu Ban was exhausted, so he had to pull out his horse and run.

The general chased after him, and the horse lance flew up to the soldiers, straight to the heart of the forbidden back, and it seemed that he was about to catch up, but fortunately, at this critical moment, Yuwen Chengdu arrived in time, and a halberd shook back the general.

The generals who were shocked back by Yuwen Chengdu were numb in their mouths, and the war horses under their crotches almost fell.

This kind of divine power makes this person extremely afraid of Yuwen Chengdu.

"Come to the general name, I am Yuwen Chengdu, not to kill the unknown!"

After Yuwen Chengdu rescued Yu Ban, he immediately blocked the person's retreat and asked.

Lin Yuan also pricked up his ears and eavesdropped from afar.

He also wanted to know who this person was, hiding among the Zhongxiang rebels and having the strength of the five tiger generals.

"Zhang Dingbian!"

The general just said coldly, clenched the horse lance again, and spurred towards Yuwen Chengdu.

"It's him!"

Lin Yuan was shocked in his heart, and he was suddenly a little relieved.

From the moment Chen Youliang appeared, he estimated that Zhang Dingbian would definitely appear, but he didn't expect to be guessed by him.

However, the encounter was not very friendly.

At this time, Zhang Dingbian was already entangled with Yuwen Chengdu.

The horse lance and the phoenix wings are in a fierce fight, every collision, are splashed with violent sparks, the war horse gallops, the two are fighting faster and faster, within five zhang, no one dares to go forward.

The first fierce general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the second fierce general of the Sui and Tang dynasties fought on an equal footing.

However, after ten rounds, Yuwen Chengdu finally had a slight advantage.

Yuwen Chengdu was born with divine power, Zhang Dingbian was also struggling to support, ten rounds, the tiger's mouth was shocked and bleeding, especially his mount war horse, which was even more unbearable Yuwen Chengdu's divine power.

After three more rounds of fighting, Zhang Dingbian's mount showed fatigue, sweating all over his body, and spitting white mist from his mouth.

Zhang Dingbian suddenly felt that something was wrong, he immediately shook a shot, actually left Yuwen Chengdu, pulled out his horse and retreated, and rushed towards the outside of the encirclement.

"Where to go!"

Yuwen Chengdu was unwilling, and immediately chased after him.

The two kept fighting, guns and halberds contended, like thunder exploding, all the way out of the encirclement.

Zhang Dingbian saw that he couldn't leave Yuwen Chengdu, so he had to make a flaw and ate Yuwen Chengdu's halberd, and at the same time, the bow and arrow he hid in his hand were also aimed at Yuwen Chengdu's head.

Whoosh!

Two arrows were shot at the same time, the first was chopped away by Yuwen Chengdu, and the second was caught off guard and hit Yuwen Chengdu's chest directly.

Zhang Dingbian took out another arrow and prepared to shoot.

Yuwen Chengdu looked horrified, and hurriedly stopped, not daring to chase anymore.

And Zhang Dingbian took advantage of this opportunity to run away.

"General Yuwen is fine!"

Lin Yuan saw that Yuwen Chengdu had been hit by an arrow, and he was extremely worried, so he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"It's fine, just a little skin trauma!"

Yuwen Chengdu pulled the arrow out of his chest without any discomfort.

Sure enough, the stronger the physical development, the stronger the vitality, and the [force] of Yuwen Chengdu is as high as more than 90, and one or two arrows can't kill them at all.

Looking at Zhang Dingbian's distant back, Lin Yuan sighed,

"This man will become our great enemy in the future!"

Yuwen Chengdu didn't answer, just looked at Zhang Dingbian's figure, and there was a hint of war intent in his eyes.

Besides, Zhang Dingbian, after escaping from Yuwen Chengdu's pursuit, couldn't hold back any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out directly.

Yuwen Chengdu's halberd is not something that anyone can eat.

"In the world, there are still such powerful people, I am still too weak!"

"However, now that the Western Route Army has been defeated, Jin Cong doesn't know where to go, if I return to Yang Mi, I will inevitably be beheaded by him as a deserter, so it's better to simply leave him and vote for someone else!"

In Zhang Dingbian's heart, a figure flashed by.
