Chapter 027: Baili Jin

"No, Canglongling is our old nest, our Hantong Army trains in this area all the year round, the northern barbarians are not familiar with Canglongling, as long as we take care of the terrain, they can't help us." He Chengming motioned for everyone to be quiet, and only when all the gossip calmed down did he raise his hand: "Everyone, over there, it is Yantang Pass, and here, it is Chen Mingguan." Now that Chen Mingguan has surrendered to the Northern Barbarians, if we go back, it will be a dead end, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to give it a go. We are all good men in the Eastern Continent, and now that our family and country need us, can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"It's a good man, come up now, fight with me to kill the enemy!"

"Our good men in the Eastern Continent are one against one hundred, and we are standing on Canglong Ridge to tell these northern barbarians that as long as we are here, they will never want to cross this mountain!"

"Guys, I don't know if we'll be able to see the sunset tomorrow, and I don't know if our large army will enter the pass when the Northern Barbarians step on our bones, but-"

"I am a soldier of the Eastern Continent, I want to protect my family and defend the country in life, and I want to die as I deserve!"

In the darkness, a pair of eyes were shining, and they all silently took a step forward. Xie Buming stood in the middle of the slope, and when he saw that no one flinched, his heart was extremely agitated.

For a while, she only felt an indescribable urge welling up in her chest, even if she died now, she didn't feel sorry. She gradually understood that this is the family country that Daddy is talking about, a family country that will never allow anyone to take a step back!

Standing beside her, the fear on her immature face did not retreat, but he followed her closely and did not retreat at all.

Even this young child understands the responsibility on his shoulders!

In the darkness, this team of 1,000 people quietly rose up and lurked towards the deeper part of Canglong Ridge. No one left at night, no one was afraid to cry, everyone silently followed the footsteps in front of them, and stretched out to the mountains and forests as fast as possible. The cold wind was bleak, and the mountains and forests at night were full of indescribable mysteries, but no one was afraid.

When the sky was slightly dark, this team had already walked into the depths of Canglong Ridge.

The footsteps of the Northern Wei people chased behind them, and this team did not set up camp, but walked all the way, patting the trees beside them with spears all the way. The snow branches on the trees crackled and fell, and the occasional goshawk flew up in the forest, cutting through the quiet sky and bringing a hollow echo. With such a big movement, the Northern Wei soldiers chasing behind him really hesitated.

Xiao Yi, the left forward general who led the army, restrained his horse: "The birds are frightened in the forest, the snow marks are scattered, and there must be ambushes ahead." ”

"General, don't you chase?" Someone asked.

Xiao Yi shook his head and asked the army to stop walking, while he dismounted and looked around. The footprints around the forest are not very messy, the rows are very neat, he counted them carefully, so many rows of footprints, there are more than 10,000 ambushes in front of them. It seems that the team is not in a hurry to rush to Yantang Pass, but stays here, waiting for them to come and beat the sticks.

He sneered and turned on his horse: "Take a detour and go backwards." ”

"General, if we divide and outflank, we will not have an advantage." The counselor next to him was particularly worried: "Moreover, this is the territory of the Nanyi people, we are not familiar with the terrain, and it is easy to fall into the trap." ”

"I know." Xiao Yi pointed to the other side of the mountain range: "Do you see that over there?" We didn't really go around the rear, but went to the edge and went back and forth to kill them by surprise. Fiction is real, reality is fiction, I have long seen through the tricks of these Nanyi people. Even if there are ambushes, my 30,000 vanguard troops can't defeat this mere 10,000? ”

"General!" The counselor was in a hurry, but he couldn't persuade Xiao Yi, and watched him turn to the other side with a large army, so he had to follow on horseback.

In a hurry, he said to the scouts beside him: "Divide a team of scouts to the front to inquire about the news, and order the scouts to go back and report to the marshal. ”

The scouts were divided in all directions, and he had to keep up, but he kept his heart on it, for fear that it would be too late.

Xiao Yat made a detour, and when he caught up again, almost two hours had passed. When I walked to the top of the hill that I was looking at, I saw that the footsteps of the scattered rows had been closed, and a rough count showed that there were only four rows of footsteps, and according to the arrangement of the army, this team was probably more than 2,000 people. Xiao Yi knew that he had been fooled, and he was so angry that he smashed it for a while, and the snow on the trees fell one after another, hitting the soldiers in the face, and the counselor had already retreated far away, not daring to come forward to anger Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi is the eldest son of the Xiao family of the first-class national duke of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and on weekdays, Xiao Guogong loves this son a lot, and everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty knows that this time he sent Xiao Yi to the army, but also to experience one or two, and when he inherits the title of Duke of the country in the future, no one will criticize him.

This kind of person is provided for in the army, and if he wins the war, he will be meritorious, and if he loses, someone will come out to take responsibility.

Because of his fearlessness, there is no one else in this person's eyes, and only one Bailijin in the whole army can suppress him.

The counselor secretly wiped his sweat, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have received this hard work and came to the army to see this little ancestor!

"Come on, the whole army will pursue!" Xiao Yi was angry for a while, then looked at the footprints in the distance and said angrily: "This group of miscellaneous people is pitiful, the army can press over and swallow them alive." ”

"General, be cautious!" The counselor was startled, walked to the front and looked at it, and said: "The road ahead is narrow, and there is a moat, you see that there is a narrow gap over there, if the Nanyi people hold this gap, we will have to enter and not get out." Even if we break through the gap, the next ray of heaven can be our guillotine at any time. And ahead, the white splashing ground, at first glance, is a cliff, if we are forced there by the Nanyi people, it will be a desperate situation! ”

He said it with a dry mouth, but Xiao Yi was full of disapproval: "What are you afraid of, there are only 2,000 people in Nanyi!" ”

It's not a matter of too many people!

The counselor was anxious, and wanted to stop him more and more, Xiao Yi was angry, raised his hand and whipped it on the horse's back, and turned his head to stare at him: "If you're afraid of death, go back, Rory, like a girl!" ”

"If the marshal knows, he will definitely tie you up and send you back to the imperial capital!" The counselor also came to the fire, although this person can't be offended, but now he can't let everyone follow him to death, the counselor stubbornly led the horse, and didn't let go: "General, when our 30,000 troops come out, we need 30,000 people to go back, so as to be worthy of the marshal's trust!" ”

"You want to sue?" Xiao Yi sneered: "When I take down the heads of those deserters, I will see if Baili Jin will listen to you or me!" ”

After that, he pushed the counselor hard, patted the horse and left.

The general was gone, how could his soldiers not move, and in the blink of an eye, everyone followed him down the mountain, along the dense mountain road to the depths. When I went down the hill, my eyes suddenly narrowed. The peaks in this area of Canglongling are relatively few, most of them are endless, at the junction of two high mountains, there is a narrow intersection, the peak is suddenly cut in half as if it was a sharp weapon, revealing a narrow passage, only allowing two or three horses to pass side by side, standing at the gap and looking up, it feels that the mountain peak is about to fall, pressing people's hearts tightly.

Before he could walk in, some people were frightened, and the hands holding the weapons trembled.

Xiao Yi sneered: "A group of little cowards, right now in the cold winter of Layue, what can these Nanyi people do to fight with us?" ”

He was the first to shoot the horse into the gap.

As soon as the horse's hooves stepped in, they heard the cold cry of the jackdaw overhead, which made people's hearts start. The horse neighed, and seemed to be afraid of the future, and could not stop retreating.

"Drive-"

How could Xiao Yi retreat, the horse did not go, and the whip under his hand was drawn heavier, and finally angered the horse, and rushed inside vigorously.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the valley, and at first, everyone was still worried and afraid, but seeing that Xiao Yi had walked for a while, there was nothing abnormal, and gradually, these soldiers were also relieved.

The narrow gap, it takes a long time for the 30,000 army to pass, and seeing that the army has passed a third, in the woods above the gap, He Chengming and several other tun commanders have made eye contacts. Everyone knew each other, the military orders were passed down, and they were all on standby.

Xie Buming led her team to ambush in the front section, Xiao Yi had already passed her with the troops, and Wang Sha whispered: "This guy looks so arrogant." ”

"Don't panic, wait for the enemy army to pass a third, and then let's do it." Xie Buming patted him on the shoulder: "Wang Sha, aim at those shots on the horse for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Chengming's military order had arrived, Xie Buming didn't have time to say more to them, he jumped up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Put the stones!" ”

He Chengming is the commander-in-chief, and he trusts Xie Buming the most, and the team has been unconsciously handed over to Xie Buming to command. Xie Buming jumped up, and the soldiers who were ambushed in the woods all followed, and the big stones on his side were pushed out, and for a while, countless boulders rolled down from the live mouth of the first line of heaven and smashed into the team walking below.

The panic suddenly started, there was nowhere to hide, the ranks of the Northern Wei people were suddenly in chaos, screams and shouts were shouted together, and the horses that could not be restrained by fear and fright suddenly lost control, crashed everywhere, and inevitably injured many soldiers by mistake.

"There's an ambush!"

"The whole team!"

Xiao Yi walked in front, and it was not much better, as soon as he moved from behind, the firewood in front of him also rolled down, completely blocking the way. I don't know what was poured on the snow, but as soon as it was lit, the flames instantly rushed under Xiao Yi's horse. Animals are the most afraid of fire, and when they saw the raging fire, their mounts immediately became confused and retreated.

Behind him, the infantry followed closely.

Xiao Yi couldn't react in time, stepped on several injuries in a row, and hurriedly reined in the horse, only to find that the troops in the entire gap had become a mess, and they had been defeated in the blink of an eye.

The counselor, who was already experienced in a hundred battles, immediately organized a counterattack after the attack: "Where are the archers, release the arrows!" ”

However, this gap is like a natural sack, and those who lie in wait above it rely on the trees and ravines to cover it, and it is extremely difficult for the bow and arrow to hurt it. can only use the cover of bows and arrows to climb up. A bitter battle has begun!
