Chapter 37: Night

After two days of training in the mountains for siege battles, it was time to agree.

Li Yue asked Zhou to lead more than 200 people to guard the cottage, and Wei Shan led more than 1,800 people down the mountain in the morning and rushed to Jijiabao, which should be at dusk, and then corrected for three or four hours, and attacked at dawn.

A frontal assault will definitely result in huge losses, so it can only be attacked at night.

Along the way, the morale of the soldiers was extremely high.

Many people are whispering, secretly scolding the Ji family for being Han, but secretly surrendering to the slaves and forgetting their ancestors.

Since they have gone to Heiyun Mountain, they must be people who are unwilling to surrender to Zhao.

Li Yue talked about the old affairs of the Qin and Han dynasties for a month, which also aroused their feelings for their family and country.

"Silence!" The officers rebuked in a low voice.

The soldier bowed his head and hurried on his way.

More than a hundred scouts scattered in all directions, without horses, and could only trot on two legs.

The more than 30 horses on the mountain only ate grass, did not feed well, and were getting thinner and thinner, and did not have the strength to go down and up the mountain.

This is also the reason why Li Yue did not hesitate to agree to Lei Qiao'er to attack Jijiabao.

The supplies on Heiyun Mountain are too scarce, there is nothing, and even the salt is almost gone.

The beast is better than a man, and it fled into the deep mountains, and all the strongholds that could be annexed within a hundred miles around it were swallowed, and no matter how far it went, it exceeded the power radiation range of Heiyun Mountain.

Heiyun Mountain has developed to a bottleneck stage.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a piece of arable land to provide a stable source of food, and we can't always wait for Guangzong and Chen Liu.

In this world, if it says that it changes, it will change, and if there is no food, there will be none.

Looking at the surrounding areas, only Jijiabao is the most underbeaten, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and new hatreds are connected with old hatreds.

Even if they didn't rob the grain, Li Yue was ready to go down the mountain to kill them after training for more than two months.

And Ji Jiabao made the first move, which shows that they have long been thinking about the mountain.

After going down to Heiyun Mountain, less than thirty miles is the boundary of Jijiabao, and the two sides are so close that it is not easy to be safe and sound for so many years.

There are many watchtowers set up by Jijiabao on both sides of the river, which are guarded all year round to guard against wild beasts and enemies.

Li Yue ordered to rest in the woods at the foot of the mountain, and sent more than 300 scouts to take advantage of the night to solve these watchtowers one by one.

Some of the seasoned veterans fell asleep.

The young soldier kept wiping his swords, shields, bows and arrows, his face full of excitement.

Li Yue listened to the sound of "cuckoo cuckoo" in the wilderness, coupled with the cool summer breeze, and gradually fell asleep.

After sleeping for an hour, he was woken up by the scout, "General, the man with the head of the fang is here!" ”

The scout pointed behind him.

Stretching out his hand and not seeing his five fingers, there was not even a star in the sky, and Li Yue didn't see anything.

However, he heard the footsteps of Si Si Suo.

When I got closer, I saw two figures, one tall and one short, in front of me, and dozens of people behind me holding white knives in their hands.

The people around Li Yue also became alert, carrying swords and shields in front.

It's still the inexperience of the scouts, and they actually let people rush to the front.

If the other party has bad intentions, he will suddenly make a move at this time, and his side will definitely be caught off guard.

You must take precautions in the future.

A strong voice came from the darkness, "Fangtou Lu Polou, Qiang Wang, dare to ask Your Excellency is the master of Li Zhai." ”

"Exactly!"

Fu Hong has been operating in Fangtou for 14 years, and there are many characters under him, so it is no wonder that people at the time commented that Fangtou has a royal spirit.

Royalty is popularity.

When Shi Le rose, he was accompanied by the Eighteen Hu Cavalry, extremely brave, fighting in the south and the north, unswerving, and was the backbone of Zhao Zhao in the future.

It's a pity that the foundation of Heiyun Mountain is too thin.

Two brothers also ran a ......

"It's almost time, why don't you attack quickly?" The tall voice said softly.

Li Yue looked at the dark night sky, the ancient night was really dark, and he couldn't see his fingers when he really stretched out his hand, and even Jijiabao in the distance was hidden in the night.

Silently calculated the time, but it was not yet the time when the dawn people were most tired.

And along the way, I don't know if Jijiabao has a secret sentry.

"The two of you have come from afar, and the soldiers are tired, so it is better to rest and recuperate, and when the enemy is stuck, it is not too late to attack." Li Yue can also be regarded as having dealt with Ji Yong, and he is more insidious and cunning.

Ji Jiabao didn't even shoot a torch, he must have taken precautions.

Another short voice said angrily: "Hmph, the mountain coward is the mountain coordinate, cowardly as a mouse, just a dock fort, why be afraid, if you don't go, we can take it down like eight hundred children, and then the things in the fort will not be yours!" ”

Li Yue couldn't help frowning, his kindness was in exchange for the other party's ridicule.

The soldiers around him were visibly heavier breathing.

Wei Shan slowly pulled out his knife and looked at Li Yue.

Li Yue shook his head.

Speak with strength at any time, Heiyun Mountain is not enough to see in front of Fangtou, there are hundreds of thousands of others, Lei Qiaoer is polite, it does not mean that other Fangtou Hao chiefs will be polite.

A tall voice reprimanded: "Qiang Wang, don't forget what Lei Sima urged!" ”

"It's just a dock fort, why use the power of these bandits? If you are afraid, stay here to rest, and I will bring my own troops to go! ”

Then came the sound of departing footsteps.

The other man did not say much, but followed with his men.

Li Yue pressed the evil anger in his heart, and half of the goodwill accumulated in his heart towards the Fu family was gone, and if he didn't have strength, no one would respect him.

Wei Shan sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, the general had the foresight and did not summon the heroes on the ground in Xingyang, otherwise it would be even more chaotic than now!" ”

"If Jijiabao is captured for them, won't we have nothing?" Xu Cheng, the tun chief beside him, said worriedly.

Li Yue looked at the direction of Jijiabao in the dark, and remembered what happened in Jijiabao at the beginning, feeling that things were not so simple.

If Ji Yongruo has no ability, how can he be as stable as Mount Tai in Xingyang, where there is a shortage of soldiers?

The Fu family does have strength, but it doesn't mean that others don't have strength.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, they are willing to be praying mantises, we can't ask for it, give the order, continue to rest!" Li Yue was relieved.

Even if they broke through Jijiabao and took everything, it didn't matter, as long as they had the territory and the dock fort, it would not be a loss.

Pu Hong attacked the dock fort at will under Shi Hu's nose, and being known by him would only make Shi Hu more suspicious, so he would never occupy Jijiabao and not leave.

Behind Ji Yong is Shi Xuan, and Shi Xuan will definitely not give up.

"Obey!" The crowd whispered, and returned to the woods.

The surrounding snoring gradually began to merge with the chirping of insects and frogs.

It was supposed to be a peaceful summer night.

But in the blink of an eye, lightning pierced the night sky, and thunder roared, exposing the people on the plains in the distance.

The thunder and lightning seemed to be slashing above their heads, and I am afraid that this thunder will also wake up the defenders of Jijiabao.

The rain woke up all the soldiers.

Since the beginning of this year, there have been more than a dozen floods in the north and south of the river due to heavy rains at every turn, and I don't know how many people have been swallowed up by the floods.

Wei Shan said: "It's raining so heavily, I'm afraid that the siege will be unfavorable, why don't you come back the next day?" ”

The surrounding soldiers also looked at Li Yue.

The lightning that swept across the sky illuminated their faces, and the heavy rain did not extinguish the battle intent in their eyes.
