Chapter 335: Heavenly Help
The horse was not running fast, which was deliberately done by Li Yuan, because at this time, he was on the tight mountain road on both sides, and Li Yuan needed to observe any wind and grass around him.
But counting the distance, he had already run out of more than a mile, although he did not find any enemy sound, but going further meant that he was one step closer to the camp of the Zhennan Army, and he was about to enter the visual range of the other party's sentinels, so Fu Hong and other generals were on Li Yuan's side and wanted to remind Li Yuan not to go further, but they found that Li Yuan raised his arms high and strangled the horses.
"It seems that Ben Shuai is still betting right." Li Yuanyuan said.
"Bet? What is the Generalissimo betting on? Fu Hong asked as he reined in the jumping white horse.
Li Yuan said with a smile: "Ben Shuai is betting on whether the sky will help us, and finally let Ben Shuai find out at the last moment." You see. ”
Saying that, Li Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the mountain wall on the west side, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that the originally smooth mountain wall had changed a little in this section, and there was a row of low trees growing in the middle of the mountain wall, and the yellow and green pine needles were dense and very conspicuous. The height from the ground is about seven or eight zhang high.
"Remember, since we entered this valley, there have been many landslides on both sides of the mountain wall, you look at this mountain wall, more than ten zhang above the ledge of the earth and stone all collapsed, there is obviously a large landslide that occurred a long time ago in the rain erosion, so a huge stepped ledge was formed. The pine trees have taken root on the ledge, and they have a great view from the top of the mountain, making it an excellent place for garrisons. Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Generalissimo, please make it clear." Fu Hong was puzzled.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "What Huang Daoquan said, the bizarre twists and turns are incomprehensible, and it is really difficult to distinguish the truth from the false for a while, but there is one thing that you have overlooked, knowing that the knot is difficult to solve, why bother with it?" A slash can see the real chapter. Why did we lead the army from Jinling? ”
One of the generals immediately replied: "Naturally, it is a counterinsurgency." ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's it." At present, the Zhennan army is a rebel army, either fighting or surrendering. That's what we should be concerned about. If the Zhennan army wants to fight the trapped beasts, they will definitely guard against the imperial army, and in terms of the number of the two armies, the Zhennan army is at an absolute disadvantage, and if they want to win this battle, they need to transform the disadvantage and increase the chances of victory. They can't change the disadvantage of troops, what they can do is to win in strategy and change some disadvantage that can be changed. ”
Fu Hong was originally in a state of confusion, but at this time, he followed Li Yuan's words and thought for a moment, suddenly looked at the cliff on the west side, and suddenly said: "The last general understands!" The strength of the Zhennan army is not superior, if it is a battle, they can only take advantage of the geographical advantage, this valley road is narrow and dense, for my army, the march here even the cavalry is a problem, and the cliff is condescending, and it is a long distance from the camp of the Zhennan army, they can completely wait for work, just like a husband when the pass is not open, turn the location to win!
If the Zhennan army had the will to fight, how could they let go of this excellent ambush place? ”
Li Yuan nodded with appreciative eyes and said, "It is worthy of Fu Tongjun!" Exactly. So what we have to do is very simple, as long as there are ambushes on the cliff, then it proves that until today, the Zhennan army still wants to fight with our army, if there are no soldiers above, it means that they will surrender even more, because after this will be an open field, the Zhennan army will have no danger to defend. ”
A general said: "Then what does this have to do with what Huang Daoquan said?" ”
At this time, it was Fu Hong's turn to squint his eyes and say, "If ten thousand arrows are fired on the cliff at this time, do you think we can still live?" There were no soldiers above, and according to the words of the generalissimo, it proved that the Zhennan army really had the intention of surrendering. ”
Li Yuan said: "It's true. Now it seems that what Huang Daoquan said is eighty percent true, Ben Shuai roughly deduced that the Zhennan Army must have the intention of surrendering, but rebellion is a major crime of the Zhu clan after all, His Majesty the ordinary soldiers may open the net, but there is a great risk for the main culprit to surrender, don't forget who His Majesty named and wanted, Li Zhenggu, Song Majie......
At this time, a group of people disguised as the forbidden army were sent to intercept and kill Li Zhenggu and others, so as to splash this dirty water on His Royal Highness King Yan and even Ben Shuai's head, Zhennan Army, Song Maha Jie could naturally surrender with peace of mind, and one of the main culprits who knew the truth had been killed, maybe he could take the opportunity to throw the blame on the dead, this move can be described as killing three birds with one stone! ”
"Phew! Shameless traitor, this calculation is very good! Although the generals were ignorant, they still came back to their senses one after another.
Li Yuan stopped and did not reply, but he only said silently in his heart, Li Zhenggu died unjustly. At the same time, he also has a kind of secret luck, if he really lets the zodiac go straight to the forbidden army camp to spread and distort the facts, I am afraid that the trouble will not be small......
Thinking of this, the only thing that I can't figure out at the moment is that the Zhennan Army's plan to kill three birds with one stone could have been implemented smoothly, and it was a plan to let Huang Daoquan and the four of them return to the forbidden army camp, why did they surround and kill them with their backhands? Wouldn't that be a wasted effort? One release and one kill, it doesn't make much sense, could it be that Song Majie is the kind of indecisive person who hesitates?
"So the generalissimo just said that the bet is to bet on whether there are soldiers on the cliff or not, and whether there will be an ambush along the way, right? That's a gamble with your life. Fu Hong suddenly asked.
"I'm waiting for the imperial army, and the righteous army has heaven's help, so why panic?" Li Yuan swallowed his saliva and stepped forward.
The generals were a little relieved for a moment, but they did not forget to praise in unison: "The generalissimo is mighty!" ”
In fact, although Li Yuan's face was calm, he was already sweating in the thick armor.
Why did he dare to boldly and easily assault to such a dangerous and unknown place, in addition to Li Yuan gambling with his life, but also because Huang Daoquan captured the message that all the pursuers had withdrawn, since the Zhennan Army finally decided to besiege and kill Huang Daoquan and the other four, then kill the last person, why didn't the pursuers of the Zhennan Army continue to search forward?
In addition to the fact that the forest is dense in the middle of the night, I am afraid that they will get closer and closer to the camp of the forbidden army if they go any further, and perhaps they will bump into the cavalry scouts scattered by the forbidden army, and they have no choice but to withdraw to the camp for the time being.

But for Huang Daoquan's lucky escape, will the Zhennan Army give up?
Li Yuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the cliff on the west side and said, "Since there are no soldiers on that cliff, let's try to go up and take a look!" This row of cliffs alone can ambush more than 100 archers, and from a high position, these more than 100 archers can block this valley. How do you think about how to climb this ledge seven or eight feet high? ”
Fu Hong shook his head and said: "It's too high, otherwise it's okay to build a long ladder, but a long ladder of seven or eight zhang will definitely not work, and it can't be erected at all if it's so long." If there were ropes hanging down, it would be fine, but how can ropes hang down from above? ”
Li Yuan sighed lightly: "As long as one person goes up, hangs down the rope, and pulls a few more people up, the rest can be pulled up one by one." Among the more than 300 of us, are there any brothers who are good at rock climbing? ”
Fu Hong thought about it, glanced around, and suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Generalissimo, there is really one person." ”
"Who?"
Fu Hong scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "The last general, the last general may be able to ...... When the last general was young, the mountains around Jinling had already climbed countless times, and it took some time to ...... here."
Li Yuan blinked his eyes and didn't reply, just quietly looked at Fu Hong, who was slightly hesitant, and then heard the sound of "The last general is gone", so he smiled and nodded.
But seeing that Fu Hong had just taken off his heavy armor and revealed two strong tendons, he suddenly turned around and frowned: "But Generalissimo, there is still a question, is it not for us to set up an ambush?" Could the Zhennan Army come from the net......"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's still the same sentence, we have our own heavenly help." As you will see, go up with peace of mind, the brethren hurry up and prepare, the time is urgent, all the preparations must be made within an hour, and if it is too late, it will change. I'm afraid this first battle is going to start here. It's been a few days since the army of our court came, and if we don't fight, some people should be anxious, and some people should hesitate......"
