Chapter 35: Quest 8: Successfully Reaching Jinzhong (8)
At this time, the projectile is much more useful than against the big shield soldier just now, after all, the target of the war horse and cavalry is too big, even if you are fully armed, it is useless.
As a result, horses were constantly being hit by heavy arrows and falling into the side of the river, which further exacerbated the confusion.
But Cao Wenzhao had no intention of retreating, and such a battle lasted for three days!
Day 5.
On the hill on the north side of the post road, Ryujusan and some of his men came here using the Tiger Claw Zipline - this was to let a soldier who was lighter and good at climbing rocks climb up with a rope, and then the rest of the people climbed up with a rope one by one.
This is a cliff about a mile long and seven or eight feet high.
From the second day, Dragon Thirteen began to prepare, and by the afternoon of the fourth day, it was ready.
"Woo......"
The horn sounded on the mountain, and then one by one the logs rolled down the mountain!
In the past few days, from the west end of Wucheng to two miles away, Cao Wenzhao's army was full of them, and Long 13 chose one of them.
The giant tree fell from the sky, and the kinetic energy contained when it fell from the cliff of about ten zhang swept everything!
After all the hundreds of logs fell, this section of the post road was completely quiet, and occasionally there were one or two groans of people and horses.
Cao Wenzhao finally retreated, with a large shield of more than 50% of the battle losses, more than 20% of the heavy cavalry, a total of about 30% of the battle losses of the retreat, at this time, his army food was almost exhausted, had to retreat.
Dragon Thirteen also left Wucheng on the sixth day.
When leaving, he took five hundred camels with him, and the camels were loaded with the belongings he had obtained from the inspection and the thousands of households, and Long Thirteen did not break his promise, and he distributed a part of the belongings to Xue Rengui and Huang Chao.
In front, there is a Huangluling Pass waiting for them, but it was originally a mountain pass on the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, that is, a hundred households fort, Wu Cheng in front, the hundred households here have already slipped away, so Long Thirteen went down this pass without a fight.
There is only one empty fort left in the Huangluling Pass, which makes Xue Rengui, who has been holding back in Qianjiazhai for half a year, can't help but be a little disappointed, at this time, Li Zhanchun came over and whispered: "Three masters, this Xue Rengui looks like a talent, in fact, he is very good women, there are already several women who have been snatched from big families around him, but he is still not satisfied"
"After you killed Wang Guangen's brothers, he couldn't wait to snatch most of the three brothers' women, which made Wang Guangen's subordinates very disdainful."
Long Thirteen remained silent, "What about Wu Dading?" ”
"There are also two women by his side, but this guy saw that there was no woman next to you, so he rewarded one of the women to his subordinates, and now there is only one person by his side"
Long Thirteen stared at him and said, "Black Harrier, you tell me the truth, isn't it too much for you to wait too close to women?" ”
"This ......"
"To tell you the truth, it's not that I, Long Shisan, don't love women, it's just that at the moment, our strength is too weak, and we can't protect our wives and children, if we all raise a lot of women like Cao Cao and Xue Rengui, and wait until the officials and soldiers are killed, and then abandon them after being defeated, they can do it, but Lao Tzu can't do it!"
"You want a woman, of course you can, but I said ugly things ahead, before the strength of my battalion is enough to cover my family, in principle, no generals are allowed to marry wives and have children, we are now thieves, running around with women and dolls, how can you bear it!"
Li Zhanchun: "......, when will it be?" ”
"At least 3,000 cavalry, at that time, the young and strong will definitely exceed 3,000, and they can be used to cover the old battalion, 3,000 people, and practice every three or five times, even if the enemy is coming, you can hold on until the main force arrives, 3,000 people, at least 1,000 cavalry, can also arrive quickly"
"Three thousand paces?"
"You don't have faith in me?"
"Yes, yes," Li Zhanchun replied busily.
Long Thirteen asked again: "You said that this Xue Rengui is extremely good woman, how is this 'excellent' method?" ”
Li Zhanchun said with a smile: "This guy is only in his twenties, but he has made seven or eight in one go from thirteen to forty-three years old, all ages, I heard that he originally got an old woman over sixty, if it weren't for everyone's sideways, this guy probably still has that old woman"
"Beast!"
Long Thirteen couldn't help but curse when he heard it.
After the Huangluling Pass, twenty miles ahead is the Jinzhong Plain, at this time, before figuring out the situation in Jinzhong, Long Thirteen will not advance easily, so he rests in this Huangluling Pass.
Three days later, Li Zhanchun returned.
"Three masters"
Long 13 saw that there was joy on his face, so he said, "Is it Zijin Liang that they have already attracted all the main forces of the official army?" ”
Li Zhanchun nodded, "Yes, after I entered Fenzhou, I caught a messenger who delivered a letter from Jiexiu County to Fenzhou, and under pressure, I finally figured out the situation."
"After Zijin Liang and others left Ningxiang County, the main force continued to go south, taking their families through Hot Spring Fort and Kang Castle, intending to occupy Fenxi County. "
"As soon as Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Jie appeared, they really attracted the attention of the officials and soldiers"
"At this time, in Fenzhou, it was Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen who took Zhang Yingchang, the general of Shanxi, Wang Pu, the general of Datong, Po Ximu, the guerrilla of Wutai Mountain, and You Shilu, the commander of the Shenwu Right Guard of Zhending Mansion, to wait on a series of castles from Fenxi County to Fenzhou in the morning."
"Among them, Lingshi County and Fenxi County are the defensive range of Po Ximu, when Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Huang appeared on the plain, they attracted the other three, and finally Zijin Liang used 5,000 ravines and bait to take Fenxi County in one fell swoop."
"Fenxi County attracted Xu Dingchen's army to the mountainous area in the south, but at this time, Zijinliang and the others only stopped in Fenxi County for a while, and immediately continued to march eastward, and finally crossed Mianshan and entered Qinzhou."
"And Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Jie also entered Qinzhou from near Qi County."
"In the north, the non-mud and other departments broke through the defense line of Taiyuan Yanmen Pass, and directly arrived near Taiyuan City, because there were as many as 14 departments such as non-mud, each of which had about 500 elites, and the old camp was doubled, and when 70,000 or 80,000 horses and horses drove there, it immediately caused a great earthquake in Jinzhong."
"The appearance of the mud has covered Zijin Liang and others, and now Xu Dingchen is pursuing the mud with the main force, if my guess is right, the mud should enter Liaozhou from Yuci and Xugou, and then wait for the opportunity to join Zijin Liang"
"But something is wrong in the south"
"Oh?"
"The southern part was originally led by King Gao Yingxiang and Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun, and they were also preparing to enter the Jinnan Plain through Pu County and Xiangning County, but they did not expect to be stubbornly resisted"
"Just when we were still in the cat winter west of Guji Mountain, the imperial court prepared another army in Linfen County, Pingyang Prefecture in the south, and the people and horses were led by Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and supervised Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, Hu Dawei, Li Bei, and Bai An's five troops, in order to be Gao Yingxiang's fourteen departments."
"Others don't say it, it is said that Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are very brave, no less than Cao Wenzhao, so that King Chuang can't wait to get out of Guji Mountain, and they are still stumbling in Xizhou, Puxian, Yonghe, Jizhou and other places."
"What about the vicinity of Fenzhou?"
"Three masters, Xu Dingchen personally sat in Fenzhou, under his command Shanxi general Zhang Yingchang 2,000 foot cavalry, the rest of the counties Xiaoyi, Jiexiu, Pingyao, Qi County, etc. are empty, not the local guards, or the regiment training guards, his fierce general Wang Pu went to Taiyuan, You Shilu went to Liaozhou"
"In other words, if we appear on the plain, Xu Dingchen will definitely be shocked?"
"Yes, the hundred households here have fled to the mountaintop village with the people in the fort, and when our army leaves, they will return, and they will not take the initiative to report to Xu Dingchen that he has lost the Huangluling Pass, but will only write a note in the report afterwards 'Our troops resisted stubbornly, beheaded many prisoners, and the thieves detoured away'"
Long Thirteen nodded, he smiled and said to Li Zhanchun: "Black Harrier, what do you think our army should do now?" ”
Li Zhanchun said, "It's better to learn from Zijin Liang, this person was elected as the big leader of the thirty-six families, not because of how powerful he is, but because he is the right man of the previous big boss Wang Jiayin, but in any case, this person has become a good person."
"Just let Gao Jiaji, Jiao Deming, and Wu Dading's three cavalry drive directly to Fenzhou Prefecture, and hand over their families to us and other care, our army hurriedly went south, sticking to the foothills of the mountain through Xiaoyi County, Jiexiu County to Mianshan, if these two counties are empty of protection, take the opportunity to take one"
"Then hurry to Mianshan and join the Zijin Liang to ......"
Long Thirteen said: "Then, there are twenty-two families in Zijin Liang and Non-mud combined, and they can support these people with the barren land of Liaozhou and Qinzhou?" Even if I wait, I won't get any benefits."
"What do you mean by the three masters......"
"Let's not talk about this first, you call them first"
It didn't take long for Gao Jiaji, Jiao Deming, and Wu Dading to arrive, and when Li Zhanchun told him about the situation, these three people did not refute it, and now Gao Jiaji still has more than 100 horses in his hands, Jiao Deming is about the same, Wu Dading is a little less, but there are also dozens of horses.
With the nature of thieves, they will definitely take advantage of it, once the official army catches up, they will desperately escape, because they are all cavalry, it is not easy for the official army to catch up with them, not to mention, under Xu Dingchen's hands, Wang Pu, who has the most cavalry, has been transferred to Taiyuan.
Long 13 said: "Since you have agreed, then hurry up, but don't wait too fast, when our department is about to go out of the mountain, then drive to the plain, once the situation is not right, hurry up and run to the east of Mianshan."
He saw that "Xue Rengui" Jiao Deming was still a little hesitant, so he smiled and said, "I can't bear those mothers-in-law? Don't worry, I didn't take a fancy to any of them, and when you come back, I will return them to you one by one."
Jiao Deming's face was slightly red, and he also smiled: "Where did the three masters go?" If you like whichever one you like, you can open your mouth and sleep directly."
......
A day later, in the evening, the team finally came to the Jinzhong Plain!
At this point, the emulator box automatically opens again.
"Congratulations, Long Thirteen, you have completed the eighth mission, successfully reached the Jinzhong Plain, and let Long Xiaoshi come into contact with Sun Chuanting, and your luck value has increased to 80"
Since Long Thirteen broke Sun Chuanting's left leg, although Long Xiaoshi finally followed the team, he has been silent.
At this time, Long 13 asked him: "Xiao Shi, you told me about the Jin merchants before, and now in these counties of Fenzhou, which big businessmen live?" ”
Long Xiaoshi said: "Among the eight families, Wang Dengku and Wang Dayu live in Lingshi County in the mountains, but the hometown of Fan Yongdou, the eldest Fan family, is Jiexiu County, and the rest are scattered in other counties on the Taiyuan Plain."
Li Zhanchun seemed to have thought of something from Long Thirteen's inquiry, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Long 13 asked again: "It's naturally good to be able to take Lingshi County, the place is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one Bird Mouse Valley in the north and south, but it has been occupied by the guerrilla Po Ximu of Wutai Mountain, or Jiexiu County, I really want to meet that Fan Yongdou for a while."
Long Xiaoshi shook his head, "This Fan Yongdou's hometown is just in Jiexiu County, but he has mansions in Pingyang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, Jingcheng, and Datong Mansion, but the biggest stronghold is Zhangjiakou outside the mouth!" He's there most of the year."
Long 13 said: "Since it is my hometown, there must be a lot of things left there."
"Three masters, do you want to hit Jiexiu County?"
"No, I want to fight Po Ximu"
