Chapter 265: Layout of the Bi-Moon Pass
The poem says: Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately urge. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. This song "Liangzhou Ci" expresses the helplessness on the battlefield and the arrogance of the soldiers.
When it comes to the end of winter and the melting of spring, it is still hot in the desert of the Western Regions. The yellow sand is long, and the sun is scorching. At the Shuangyue Inn in Huangsha Town, on the two-story earthen building full of corn cobs in front of the door, an old flag made of canvas crackled in the wind.
Just a week ago, countless barracks tents had been erected overnight on the vast desert from here to Shuangyueguan. During the day, the dust rolls up, as if it is a tense exercise. At night, the campfire is lined up, like a host's sleep. Those officers and soldiers who lived close to each other liked to come to this inn to drink two glasses of wine, and they had long become acquaintances with the plump and beautiful proprietress of the house.
Qin Yueying was greeting the guests with a smile on her face, standing on a square table and shouting: "Slow down! Slow down! Don't squeeze the old lady's door!" Pointing to the shopkeeper and saying, "Huzi! Be smart! There are two more dishes here!"
The hall of the inn was noisy and lively. A few drunken soldiers over there laughed and said, "Boss, your wine is okay, but there is less meat to drink." Qin Yueying unceremoniously pointed over there and scolded: "Didn't you see that the old lady was busy? Let me go up and get you some meat!!" The soldiers were unexpectedly deflated, causing the crowd around them to laugh.
At this time, another group of people came in at the door, led by a non-commissioned officer. Qin Yueying saw it. Hurriedly turned over and got off the table, wiped his sweat with a wet towel, and said with a smile: "Yo! It's Guan Ye Li here." Here, please!" took the opportunity to push away a few people, let the non-commissioned officer sit down, and said to Xiao Er: "Here's a jar of good wine! A plate of beef fragrant jerky!" The little two responded, "Okay!" Qin Yueying sat down next to the non-commissioned officer and asked, "Master Li." You've been locking down the border for months. Suddenly so many people came, is it going to war? For so long, why haven't you seen Yang Shuai come to sit in the inn?" The non-commissioned officer smiled: "Yang Shuai is busy with military affairs, and it is difficult to get out. We are only ordered to be stationed here, and the rest is classified and it is inconvenient to tell you. Qin Yueying couldn't ask anything this time. Turning around, he shouted angrily to a fellow: "Mazi closes the door!
And at the same time. Outside the Twin Moon Passes, the armies of the Three Kingdoms were advancing. But I saw the sand peaks and clouds, and the red land was thousands of miles. The sand peaks are cloudy, shining like the sea. Thousands of miles away. Dense rows of guns and halberds into a forest. The trumpet roared. Boundless swords and horses are in full swing. The siege ladder over there is like a lonely peak. Here, the catapult is moving forward like an angry tiger. Looking at the overwhelming appearance of the army, the soldiers on the city gate felt fear. In such a battle, only one charge is needed. I'm going to level this place.
In the Shuangyue Pass, King Lu, Qi Lao, and Yang Rui and others had already joined Yang Tie's troops, and they were also looking at the arrow tower. King Lu sighed: "Look at this formation, these three kingdoms together are really powerful!" Qi Lao said: "I have roughly calculated, this vanguard army has at least one million people. However, this army, which is known as tens of millions, is put together in a short period of time, and it is bound to be lacking in liaison and cooperation. Yang Tiedao: "Most of this vanguard army is from the Hachi Kingdom, and it was stationed outside the pass as early as the family competition. In recent days, they have begun to march towards the Kannai, presumably because the beacon towers have finally been built. The young man asked, "Where are the nine beacon towers?" Yang Tiedao: "The first one is a hundred miles northwest of here, and then eastward, there is a beacon tower every thousand miles." The last beacon tower was built on Jiufeng Mountain, which could echo the enemy forces at Humen Pass. And the army in front of him is less than a hundred miles away from the army behind it, and it is unknown what will go forward. Zhou Qiao said: "Do you know how the defense around the beacon tower is?" Xiao Long said: "Some people from our Mobei mercenary group have been mixed in the construction team to check. There are no less than 100,000 elite soldiers stationed around the beacon tower, and 10,000 of them form an enchantment on the beacon tower, changing their posts every three hours. The young man said, "What level of rune array is that enchantment?" Xiao Long said with a solemn expression: "We can't tell how many levels it is. However, according to that formation, I am afraid that even the martial artists of the Heavenly Immortal Realm will be difficult to break through. The only chance to destroy the beacon is to wait until they change the guard before attacking in one fell swoop. ”
The little Xuannu pouted impatiently beside her: "What are you doing with so much discussion? It's only 100,000 people guarding it, I don't have to wait for the change of guard, just kill it directly." As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a crowd of officers and soldiers to watch. People who didn't know her thought that this was the ignorance of the little girl. However, when she saw the silver-armored corpse standing behind her, no one dared to refute it in person. Only the young man pulled the little girl to his side and pinched it, and whispered: "King Lu is here, don't talk nonsense." Also, don't forget. Your current strength is only in the human fairyland. Even if the Corpse King is following, you have to be careful. The little Xuannu touched her pinched red face, squeezed her tears and said, "I know." But I'm not helping King Lu. You've got to owe me a favor this time. The young man said, "It's easy to say." Say. Next time there is a fun place, just take you with me. ”
"A word is a certainty!" the little Xuannu shrank aside and stopped making a sound. Everyone laughed for a while, and they were all amused by the innocent smile of the little girl, and they forgot their fear for a while. The old man over there thought for a while and said, "Hmm." Not knowing the defensive power of the beacon tower is indeed a major weakness of ours. This directly increases the risk of our operation. Maybe in the group, there will be people who will have difficulty completing the task. Ren Xue said: "I can attack from the front and try the power of that enchantment." Qi Lao said: "No." In this way, even if one is destroyed, the rest of the beacons will immediately increase their garrison. You have to sneak in and act at the same time. The key is the distribution of these nine beacons. After a pause, he said, "In my judgment." The first and ninth towers should have the least number of defenders, for the enemy's vanguard was already in our vicinity, while the rest of the enemy forces were advancing towards the Shuangyue Pass. It's just that these two beacon towers, one is to face the army in front of them, and the other is far away in the Jiufeng Mountain Range, both of them are in danger, and they are all dead. The remaining seven are all in the midst of an army that is being repaired, and naturally the deeper they go, the more dangerous they become. If you want to plan synchronization, you must first consider the footsteps, and then the combat power of each person. ”
Jing Shao stepped forward and bowed: "Please let me be in charge of the beacon tower on Jiufeng Mountain." I don't want to survive with my guilty body, but I must not let the two places exchange news!" King Lu helped Jing Shao and said: "My nephew must not have this idea of taking his life." To complete the mission, you must first save your life. However, the king of the Nine Peaks Yamaben will allow you to go. Turning to Qi Lao and saying, "I don't know if the military advisor agrees?" Qi Lao said: "Since it is the intention of King Lu, then Jiufeng Mountain will be in charge of Jing Shao." He looked at the little Xuannu and said, "Baby." Are you willing to be a pioneer and destroy the first high platform?" When the little Xuannu heard this, she raised her little hand and shouted, "Call me a baby, I am ...... than you" and was suddenly dragged back by the young man covering his mouth from behind. The boy smiled, "She agreed." ”
Qi Lao glanced at the young man, then looked at the lively little Xuannu, and said with a smile: "This little girl may become a trick for us." Xiang Ren Xue said again: "I don't know if I can ask Miss Ren to send Jing Shao to Jiufeng Mountain? I think the girl's footsteps should be the fastest here for us." Zhou Qiao next to him heard that there was a beautiful woman sending him off, and immediately raised his hand and shouted: "I am slow, and I also want to ask the girl to send it." Then hand over the eighth beacon tower under the Nine Peaks Mountain to me!"
Ren Xue had been teased by this playboy in front of the Yutian Pavilion in the capital, so he naturally didn't want to send him. Ignore Zhou Qiao, and say to Qi Lao: "Jing Shao can send it, but Zhou Qiao can't." When Zhou Qiao heard this, he lowered his head and looked depressed. King Lu said with a smile: "Zhou Xian's nephew is anxious to contribute to the country, and we are all very happy. But it's deep behind enemy lines, and you can't go there with your strength. From the perspective of the distribution of combat power, I have found a big beauty to partner with you here. When Zhou Qiao heard this, he turned his worries into joy and said, "Who is it?" King Lu nodded to the guards behind him, and after a while, two guards pressed a woman and walked up. Everyone looked at it, but it was Wu Feng's granddaughter Wu Ling'er. King Lu said to Wu Ling'er: "Wu Feng seeks the country, and the Wu family is going to be beheaded by the whole family. But now is the time to employ people, if you are willing to contribute to the country, this king can spare the lives of 300 members of your martial family. Are you willing?" Wu Ling'er knelt down and said, "Thank you King Lu for your magnanimity! Ling'er is willing to go into battle to kill the enemy and exchange his life for the safety of his family!" King Lu said: "You get up." In this way, you partner with Zhou Qiao and are responsible for destroying a beacon tower. This Wu Ling'er didn't like Zhou Qiao either, but there was no way to do it, so he had to nod lightly. Over there, Zhou Qiao grinned and muttered in his heart: "Although this Wu Ling'er is beautiful, she is also a well-known hot girl." It's not an easy trip. ”
Qi Lao watched from the sidelines, knowing that it was King Lu who was merciful and didn't want to hurt his life, so he found a way to spare Wu Feng's family. Seeing that the officers and soldiers in the city had a lot of complaints, and then King Lu's words, he coughed dryly and said: "The old man also thinks that Zhou Gongzi's combat power is swaying and needs to be supported. With the strength of the Zhou family and Wu Ling'er, you will be in charge of the second beacon tower. "Zhou Qiao and Wu Ling'er took the order. Elder Qi continued to arrange: "General Xiao, Miss Mu, General Qiu, and Eighth Master Lei, the four of you are more familiar with the terrain in this area, so you will arrange men and horses to attack the third and fourth beacon towers. Li Man, you and Siniang sat on the white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger to destroy the fifth seat. Xiao Long and the others received the order, and Qi Lao said: "Miss Ren is in charge of the eighth, and Xiaorui is in charge of the sixth and seventh." Among them, Miss Ren has the heaviest task, in addition to sending Jing Shao to Jiufeng Mountain, she must also rush to Xiaorui's aid immediately after destroying the eighth one. I don't know if I can do it?" Ren Xue nodded and said, "Yes." Qi Lao said: "In this way, we will act according to the plan." When you destroy those nine beacons, we will immediately launch a frontal attack on this vanguard here!"
As he was talking, a scout came to report: "The army of the Naha Chi Kingdom has marched to a place only ten miles away from Shuangyue Pass!" King Lu exclaimed: "It's so close? I wonder if Chaheba will be tricked?" Qi Lao said: "It depends on how well we have done enough in the play." Xiang Yang Tie said again: "Yang Shuai, please give an order immediately." Let all the officers and soldiers withdraw from the city pass. Then open the door of the double moon and welcome them in!"
Yang Tie received the order and turned around and went downstairs. After a while, in the Shuangyue Pass, I heard a series of orders shouting: "Withdraw the city gate!" "Remove the city gate!" "Remove the city gate, open the city gate!" After all, I don't know how the enemy will react, and listen to the next decomposition. (To be continued......)
