Chapter 53: Outwitting Yang Valley
Jinguan City, green mountains and verdant, clear water flowing pearls, birds singing and flowers.
Wei Lai didn't want to appreciate it, he took Shifang to stand at the head of the city, looking in the direction of Kyoto. Bella and Arthur stood on either side.
"Gangtian Chi has moved to Kyoto, and Gong Shang fled south with the princes and ministers, and the destination is unknown for the time being." Bella will report the news.
"How long will it take for Tsunda Chi to arrive in Kyoto? How many troops? Wei Lai asked.
"About a month and a half, it claims to be 600,000 people. Burn and loot all the way! Bella asked.
"Who is guarding Kyoto? How many centaurs? Wei Lai asked again.
"It is said that nearly 300,000 horses are led by Shen Rubin and An Ruhai." Bella is a treasure.
"How can this be kept, the country that the emperor's grandfather has laid down will make Gong Shang, a slut, defeated! What a sinner for the ages! Wei Lai smashed his fist on the arrow stack.
"Is there a guard in the surrounding castle gates to Kyoto?"
It is reported that Zhu Yang, who claimed to be the king of Tang and did not listen to the edict, many cities followed suit. Fu Yu proclaimed himself the king of war, defeated Bu Jinglei in the South Tianshan Mountains, and occupied half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, Cheng Youming built the capital in Yangzhou, and the country name Dacheng ......" Bella told the story.
"Fu? The War King? Interesting! Are you an enemy of my family? When Wei Lai heard Fu Yu's name, he was shocked and thought, "Do you and I finally have a chance to really fight?" I'm looking forward to it! ”
"How many soldiers and horses does Fu Yu have?" Wei Lai asked.
"It is reported that there are more than 30 thousand, and there are countless capable people under him." Thea replied.
"Not bad! The stronger, the better! How can you fight with me if there are fewer people! Wei Lai said proudly.
"What, then Fu Yu has a grudge against you?" Thea asked curiously.
"Huh! An old man, who is also my adversary, let none of you touch him! Help him if you need to! Wei Lai said with a smile.
"Hehe, it seems that the Holy Lord values this person quite a lot! I'd love to see him for a while! Bella grinned.
Shifang, who was lying on the side, also raised his head and roared, as if he wanted to meet that Fu Yu for a while.
When the three of them heard this, they laughed.
As he was talking, he saw Liu Dali hurriedly coming, shouting as he walked, "Holy Lord! Holy Lord! Someone is going to vote! Said to be His Majesty's uncle! ”
Wei Lai listened, "Uncle? Where? ”
Liu Dali said, "The Holy Empress Dowager has entered the city and is waiting for the Holy Lord in the palace!" ”
Wei Lai hurried to the palace, only to see Wei Dong and Wei Sheng sitting in front of Lan Yusheng, reminiscing about the past.
"Uncle Weidong! Uncle Weisheng! I really want to die alone! Is Grandpa Zhong good? Wei Lai excitedly stepped forward and grabbed them and said.
"Come on...... Come, Holy Lord, please sit down and speak. Wei Sheng wanted to call him, but he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, and he was also clever, so he pulled Wei to the main seat and sat down.
"Father is handsome...... Alas! He has been loyal to his country! Wei Dong sat down, slapped the chair with his right hand, and said sadly.
"Ahh Uncle Weidong, what's going on? Wei Lai exclaimed, "Grandpa Zhong is a martial artist, Shenjia Pass is the first male pass in the Eastern Holy Border, and there are two uncles by his side, how can it be?" 〞
"On that day, my two brothers defeated the country of Mengtas, and he retreated with his whole army, thinking that it was because the commander was killed in battle, and moved back to China, unexpectedly...... Alas! It's all our carelessness! ”
Wei Sheng said: "Naniel retreated, took advantage of our carelessness, sent elite soldiers into the city late at night, opened the city gate, and caused the Shenjia to fall. My brother wanted to protect his father to break through, but there were too many enemy troops, and in order to cover our retreat, my father desperately blocked the pursuers and died a heroic martyr! ”
"The land of Montas! Take advantage of the fire to rob and kill my loyal grandfather! Lone will take revenge and let them pay back tenfold! ”
"Don't be too sad, when you arrive in Jinguan City, you'll be home!" Lan Yusheng comforted Wei Dong and Wei Sheng.
"Please send troops as soon as possible, drive away the enemy, clean up the rivers and mountains, and revive the Eastern Sage!" Wei Dong and Wei Sheng stood up and said in unison.
"Please rest assured, two uncles!" Wei Lai hurriedly helped Wei Dong and Wei Sheng up, "This is also what I wish in my life!" Duty! ”
That night, Wei came to a banquet for the ministers, introduced Wei Dong and Wei Sheng one by one, and when it came to Wei Zhong's heroism, everyone sighed. Wei Lai poured the wine and said, "This cup of wine, to the loyal grandfather who died heroically!" Lone Jin vowed to go north, recover Kyoto, drive out the powers, sweep away the enemy, and revitalize the East Saint! ”
"Regain Kyoto, drive out the great powers, sweep away the Kou, and revitalize the Eastern Saint!" The ministers raised their glasses and shouted, and the guards came to spill wine on the ground.
The next day, Wei Lai stood on the stage of the military drill ground, worshiped Wei Dong and Wei Sheng as the marshals of the northern expedition, and was directly led by the Holy Lord.
Wei Lai walked on the high platform, looked at the flags under the stage, swords and guns, couldn't help but be overjoyed, he said loudly, "All soldiers! I am in the east of the holy rivers and mountains, the scenery is beautiful, the people are abundant, and it is a happy land. I don't want that Wei Miao to plot to usurp the throne, kill the king and kill his father, be mediocre and cruel, and be debaucherous, so that the people will not have a good life, so that the country where the sun never sets, the country of Mengtas, and the country of Xionglufan will take the opportunity to invade, burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. Now, the army of the sun does not set on Kyoto, and the country of Montas has broken the armor and whipped the suburbs of Beijing. 500,000 soldiers of Xionglu Panguo, captured the White Tiger Pass, and there are more grass cowards and rebels, claiming to be the king and hegemonic, the mountains and rivers are broken, the wind and rain are shaky, and it is heartbreaking. In order to turn the tide of the tide, save the people of Li from the upside down, revive the great rivers and mountains of our Eastern Sage, and reunite the army today, I vowed to wave my army to the north, recover Kyoto, drive out the powers, sweep away the hatred, and return my rivers and mountains! ”
After that, he raised his arms and shouted, "Sweep away the revenge and return my rivers and mountains!" All the soldiers were enthusiastic and shouted in unison.
On that day, except for Lan Yusheng, Weidong, and Weisheng, who sat in Jinguancheng, there were 50,000 garrisons to guard them. Wei Lai led the 400,000 troops of Hua Menglong and Lan Zhen's evil departments, prepared enough grain and grass, and waved Yanggu Pass.
Along the way, volunteers from all walks of life came to vote, Wei Lai met one by one, sealed officials and made wishes, good students were encouraged, and the team grew stronger, and when they arrived at Deyang Valley Pass, it has reached more than 60 thousand.
The sun does not set on the army guard Harada received a secret report early, Zhiwei came to lead more than 60 thousand, to fight Yanggu Pass, since the soldiers are outnumbered, not an opponent, if there is no reinforcements, the night can be broken, hurriedly repair a book, a quick report to Gangtian Chi, request support.
Gangtian Chi has waved his army to Kyoto, naturally it is impossible to retreat halfway, but Yanggu Pass is not saved, if the front and back are flanked, then the sun does not set the army will be defeated, so after receiving the letter for help, sent 100,000 horses to help, to Harada according to the danger to defend.
"Hua Dashuai, how to capture this Yanggu Pass?" Wei came to ask.
"The wall of Yanggu Pass is high and the river is wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is someone else, it is difficult to attack. But the old man has been running this place for several years, where is there no follow-up move...... "Hua Menglong naturally did not dare to hide it, and revealed the secret ways into the city one by one.
Wei Lai was overjoyed, and immediately asked Hua Menglong to arrange and break the city as soon as possible. On the same day, the army pretended to attack the city head-on, built pontoon bridges, erected ladders, and attacked the city in a hurry.
Hua Mantian, Hua Mangu led thousands of elites, quietly entered the city from the dark passage, at this time the sun does not set on the soldiers were all attracted to the city wall, the exit of the secret passage in the city is in the house, or in the dark place of the garden, when the leader of the flower Mantian drilled out of the secret passage, no one noticed.
After they entered the city, they hunted and killed the soldiers of the army that the sun never set, changed into their military uniforms, tied a black ribbon on their left arm to show the difference, and marched to the east gate while the sun did not set.
Hua Menglong had already seen it outside the city, and shouted, "Give me a rush!" Regain Yanggu Pass! "Take the lead and charge into the city. When Harada found out, where would it be too late to organize troops to block.
Hua Mantian, Hua Mangu are all one of the hundreds, those elite soldiers who entered the city, all of them are good hands with one as ten, this time the new Holy Lord, and recapture their own city pass, how can there be any life, but also brave and abnormal.
The sun never sets on the army and was caught off guard, where is the opponent, how many come and how many die.
Shifang followed Wei and killed the Quartet, where did the sun never set where had he seen such a powerful lion, he was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he was pounced on and bitten to death by Shifang one by one.
Although Harada knew that the defeat was decided, if he was defeated and retreated to Kyoto, he would definitely die if he met Gangda Chi, but instead fell into the infamy of a fleeing general, it was better to die in battle, and then strictly ordered to supervise the battle, and those who were cowardly, afraid of war, and escaped were killed on the spot.
The two sides fought in the city for a day, and Harada led thousands of remnants of the army, fighting and retreating, desperately resisting all the way. After retreating to the city lord's mansion, there were less than a thousand people, and they were still stubbornly resisting.
Hua Mantian and Hua Mangu led the army to kill, and they didn't talk nonsense, they didn't persuade them to surrender, and there were no rules in the rivers and lakes, two against one, or even three cut one, killing the remnants of the soldiers and leaving them without the power to fight back, and quickly ended the battle.
Naharada held a long knife and rushed towards Hanamaya with a "whoa, whoa, whoa". Hua Mangu sneered, waved the copper stick in his hand, knocked over the ground with a stick, and hit Harada with a stick, only to hear a snap, his brain was already torn apart, and he died on the spot.
The army searched for the remnants of the soldiers in the city, found the death row, and found the dying little Xuanzi. When he learned that it was the Dongsheng soldiers who captured Yanggu Pass, Xiao Xuanzi was so excited that he burst into tears, he was tortured, and he didn't tell the origin of Hua Moli, and finally escaped death.
After Wei Lai learned about it, he thought that he must be an important person that Gangtian Chi attached great importance to, so he asked Du Zhong to do his best to treat him and ask about the origin. Xiao Xuanzi knows everything, and there is nothing to hide anyway.
"There was such a heroic feat! That Gangtian Chi really stole chickens and rice, and now he has become a yin and yang person. It's ridiculous. When Wei Lai heard this, he suddenly felt very happy, and praised Xiao Xuanzi heavily, and wanted to crown him as the general of the sun and ask him to recuperate.
Hua Menglong was very happy to learn that Hua Moli was still alive, but his whereabouts had been unknown since that night. Knowing that Xiao Xuanzi was Hua Moli's apprentice, he naturally took care of it and asked Wei Lai to give Xiao Xuanzi to his army and follow him personally.
Wei Lai ordered the army to rest, the next day in addition to Hua Menglong led 50,000 troops to garrison Yanggu Pass, the troops were divided into three routes, one route was Hua Mantian, the army led 50,000 to the northwest, attacked Weijing Pass, one route was Hua Mantian led 50,000 troops to the northeast, attacked Shanhaiguan, and one route was Wei Lai's personal commander Lan Zhenwei 500,000 troops, approaching Kyoto.
