Chapter Seventy-Two: Mu Ling is not closed

In many cases, the most critical battles must be fought by the leader himself.

Because only if you rush up, can you represent all the people, represent everything, and the people below can fight with you...... Wuchao robbed grain, Boss Cao's subordinates are not without generals who can fight, but I'm sorry, at this time when life and death are decided, he must rush forward.

Facing the Zhang family's family, Tan Deyu led the team to charge, and he was sure.

Facing Ma Degong's subordinates, Zhao Yingyuan went up, and he could handle it.

But in the face of the Qing army, Zhu Yiyuan must be on the ground, not how powerful he is, but only if he goes up, everyone will play with their lives, and the weak will fight the strong, and this is what they want!

Facts have proved that Zhu Yiyuan gambled right, he fought hard to kill, the rebels followed him closely, struggling to protect, they kept moving forward, Zhu Yiyuan waved his long knife again and again, slashing and killing the Qing army.

The morale of the rebels also grew.

On the other hand, the Qing army is very brave, but don't forget that these people have been in Yizhou for more than a year, and the rich and gentle township has lost a lot of sharpness.

But they didn't know it yet, especially when the rebels rushed to the front and fought with white blades, those archers who were simply armored were the first to collapse.

They couldn't withstand the attack of the rebels, and the formation was in disarray.

Followed by those armor soldiers, Zhu Yiyuan decisively divided them, Zhao Yingyuan rushed in fiercely, and everyone played with their lives.

The small county town has no way to escape, so it can only fight to the death.

The battle lasted more than two hours, and when the last Qing soldier fell, the rebels pounced on him and dismantled him in pieces. Looking around, it's finally over.

Zhu Yiyuan didn't know how many people he had killed, he was just very tired, and he sat on the ground with his butt and gasped for breath.

After this battle, those soldiers, including the people of Maoyang Town, no longer doubted that this young scholar was not only kind in his words, but also really ruthless.

Zhao Yingyuan hurriedly came over and asked, "What's the matter, are you injured?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head, "General Zhao, you follow the rules and clean up the battlefield." I'm going to go and rest for a while. ”

Zhao Yingyuan was stunned for a moment, won a hard battle, and eliminated hundreds of real Qing soldiers, it was the time to win people's hearts and reward meritorious deeds, it seemed that he should not be in front.

"Zhu Yanshi ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yiyuan said again: "Tell the soldiers, also hurry up and rest, I will take someone to Mulingguan later." ”

Mulingguan?

Zhao Yingyuan suddenly understood what Zhu Yiyuan meant...... Zhu Gongzi has a good appetite!

What is Mulingguan?

This pass is located on the Daxian Mountain, which is known as the natural danger of Qi Nan, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is the natural danger between the two countries of Qi and Lu, and it was once the first Xiongguan in the world.

In order to guard against the Lu State, the Qi State also built the Great Wall.

Zhu Yiyuan planned to enter the Yimeng Mountains, and Muling Pass was a gateway that could block the soldiers and horses in the direction of Qingzhou.

In other words, if the Muling Pass is blocked, the righteous army will be able to let go of the area of Yishui, Juzhou, and Zhucheng.

A mere shade is still too small to be used at all.

is still the same reason, this battle is about life and death, and Zhu Yiyuan must personally lead the team. And it must be fast, and it must be blocked before the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou go south.

Zhao Yingyuan, as a veteran of the battlefield, couldn't help but extend his thumb in the face of Zhu Yiyuan's judgment.

"Quick, get rid of all these Tartars!"

Zhao Yingyuan personally commanded, stripped off the armor, gathered the intact ones together, and repaired those who could be repaired as soon as possible, in addition to strong bows, heavy arrows, machetes, and sharp axes...... All the best weapons, all in one place.

Zhao Yingyuan quickly looted the supplies of the Qing army, what food, medicine, mules and horses, in short, what could be used, all the best were picked up and gathered.

About two hours later, Zhu Yiyuan got up, and the fatigue of the battle disappeared.

"Zhu Yanshi, I'll wake up the big guy now."

"Don't!"

Zhu Yiyuan stopped Zhao Yingyuan, "Let the soldiers sleep for a while, and I'll check things." ”

Sure enough, Zhu Yiyuan personally went to the front of these items, the same, carefully inspected, armor, bows and arrows, grain, horses, ......, "By the way, General Zhao, is there a strip of cloth?" ”

"Strips of cloth?"

"Yes, it's used to wrap around the calf, so it's convenient for long-distance marches."

Zhao Yingyuan hurriedly said: "This is easy, I will let people find cloth in the city and cut it out." ”

Half an hour later, strips of cloth arrived.

Those soldiers also climbed up, Zhu Yiyuan beckoned the big guys, taught them how to use leggings, and then led the soldiers to set off decisively.

He brought 800 men, lost more than 100 in the battle, and Zhao Yingyuan replenished more than 200 people.

Zhu Yiyuan quickly dispatched with this team of less than 1,000 people.

They climbed over the long mountains, waded through the Mengshui, and walked all the way, still adhering to the traditional habits and never disturbing the people.

When you meet a fellow countryman, you should also treat it kindly.

Because of this, their advance was not only fast, but also did not alarm the Qing court.

I have to say, it's a miracle.

Linqu is less than 100 miles away from Muling Pass, and it is an official road that has been developed for more than 2,000 years.

Even if you count the time it takes to deliver the message, it is possible to do it within three days.

Once Muling Pass fell into the hands of the Qing army, Zhu Yiyuan's idea of operating the Yimeng Mountains failed in half before it was implemented.

However, the sluggishness of the Qing army surprised Zhu Yiyuan, and they crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the river and waded through the water, and it took five days to finally arrive at Muling Pass.

Standing on Daxian Mountain, looking at Qilu, suddenly enlightened.

There was not a single Qing army, and Zhu Yiyuan was overjoyed.

But after the investigation, Zhu Yiyuan's heart fell again.

Muling Pass, the world's first male pass, that is in the Spring and Autumn Period, after the unification of the world, the status plummeted, due to disrepair, the city is dilapidated, the Great Wall no longer exists, only some things that can be called ruins.

Zhu Yiyuan and the soldiers searched, Huang Ying's eyes were sharp, and he found a stone tablet that rebuilt Muling Pass during the Jiajing period.

But it's a pity that this repair of Muling Pass was not built as a pass, but as a throat for north-south trade, and the remains of tax cards can be found, which has just been abandoned for a long time.

Can such a thing that leaks on all sides stand it?

At this time, Huang Ying suddenly shouted again: "Zhu Yanshi, look at this, is it salt?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly came over, in front of him was the remains of a section of the Great Wall of Qi, there were crystals similar to table salt, Zhu Yiyuan looked at it again, this Great Wall was built with Sanhe soil, and the large salt blocks condensed together were similar to stones.

Indeed, in some places where salt resources are abundant, salt blocks are used to build walls and even build houses.

When this Great Wall of Qi was actually built, salt was also used, which is really surprising.

"Excuse me, can you eat this salt?"

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, and shook his head again, "The salt in the city wall is too dirty, eating it directly will hurt your stomach, you need to dissolve it with water, filter impurities, and then expose it to the sun, or use fire to steam dry the water, just like boiling sea salt." ”

Hearing this, Huang Ying was immediately overjoyed, "Salt! Here's the salt! Come and see, brethren! ”

The other soldiers really heard the news and excitedly asked Zhu Yiyuan if it was true.

Zhu Yiyuan suddenly realized at this time that salt is too important for the people at present. Looking at it, if the long ruins of the Great Wall of Qi can really get hundreds of thousands of catties of salt, not only can the soldiers use it, but they can even exchange materials with the surrounding people.

Now the sub-pattern opens up.

The only problem is that it will damage this ancient Great Wall of more than 2,000 years...... However, if the Hu Lu is expelled and the tragedy of the literary prison is avoided, the civilization that can be preserved will not stop at the Great Wall!

Zhu Yiyuan nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Now that Muling Pass is not closed, we have arrived, and there will be a pass!" Soldiers, let's be the eternal heroes who protect the people! ”

The soldiers immediately agreed, raising their arms and shouting...... Then they were put into a tense busyness, taking local materials, filling in the broken city walls, digging trenches on the main transportation routes, and hoarding stones and rolling wood on the hills.

Just when the big guy was busy, a ride came from the south, and it was the messenger.

The rebels decisively took him down.

"Don't kill me, I've got them all...... The small one was sent by Yishui Zhi County, and when he heard that Mengyin was lost, he immediately asked Qingzhou for help, but he didn't think that the heroes arrived here first. ”

Zhu Yiyuan said calmly: "Yishui asks for help, how is the reality in the city now?" ”
