[Chapter 32: Caution Can Be Used] (2)
Lu Feng was also very relieved, after all, in the past few days, Lu Shaoqiu and Yun Wanyue's guerrilla team had suffered very few casualties, but it had also caused damage to more than 200 enemy soldiers, which was undoubtedly the only place for them to find psychological balance after losing the battle.
And when the Lu Feng Department completely retreated into the territory of Mengshan Town, the commanders of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th South Battalions, who were stationed here and waiting, had been waiting here for a long time.
After inspecting the soldiers of the third battalion, feeling the full mental state of these soldiers, Lu Feng was very pleased.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, the quality of Hongshan County's private soldiers is indeed gratifying.
Mengshan, also known as Snake Nest Mountain, because the mountains of this mountain range are all tall and slender, if you take the god kite machine into this sky overlook, you will find that this mountain range is like a nest of snakes wriggling on the earth. Such a mountain area became the second natural barrier of Hongshan County's defense to the west.
If you don't go into the mountains, you have to go hundreds of miles to the north, and to the south, you can't go around at all, because there is Baoyu Lake, the only lake in Hongshan County, and further south is a mountain area that is rarely visited.
The mountain roads in the Mengshan Mountains are surprisingly many forks, and each mountain road is almost like the intestines in the human body, which are intricate and tangled, and it is very likely that a lot of time will be wasted if you take the wrong road.
For this, Long Yuanjun also has an understanding. For this reason, Yun Xiao ordered people to capture ten mountain people nearby and pry out the route from their mouths, and in order to capture these ten people, the Long Yuan army lost nearly a hundred people.
If you want to pass through the Mengshan mountain area, there are three roads that are relatively smooth and easy to walk, one is the northern Hulugu Road, one is the middle of the fish hook road, and the other is the southerly Zongye Road. This is almost a match made in heaven for the Longyuan Army, which was originally divided into three routes.
But for this question, Yun Xiao had already killed six people, and when the seventh person still answered like this, Yun Xiao also understood that the answer was probably true.
Although he knew that the Hongshan Army would definitely set up a defense army in this Mengshan Mountain, it was impossible for the Longyuan Army to stop. Thinking that Lu Feng did not have two or three thousand remnants left, even if there were reinforcements, there would not be too many, Yun Zhen also rejected Yun Xiao's decision to say that the three armies would be in parallel.
After all, the mountain roads in Mengshan are narrow and the terrain is complicated, and if the soldiers march in a concentrated manner, it will take several times the time to march alone.
For Yun Zhen, who couldn't wait to hit Hongshan County and dismantle Lu Feng and Lu Buqi into eight pieces, anything that delayed time was not allowed.
For example, in the Aoyang River, in the face of the spacious river, two deputy generals were killed by Yun Zhen on the spot because the plan proposed was too complicated and took too long. And Zuihou, it was Yun Zhen who suddenly thought of the suspension bridge where the frog screamed and killed the copper-scaled rhinoceros, and thought of the idea of paving the bridge with suspension cables.
The nearly 10,000 private soldiers of the Ji family led by Ji Zhen were thrown by Yun Zhen to the road in the gourd valley where there were most likely to be ambushes.
In fact, Hulu Valley is actually the most spacious and flat road through Mengshan Mountain, because he can pass through two valleys, one large and one small, and the mountain road that really has to be walked is less than two sections of distance, and because of this, it is named Hulu Valley.
Moreover, near the gourd valley, it is also a piece of the Mengshan mountain area where there are fewer spirit beasts and beasts, which should be mutually causal with the fact that there are often caravans and travelers walking on this road.
Ji Zhu is a very cautious person, this character has allowed him to live until now, he has always thought that if he was not cautious enough, he would have died long ago, and he might have been killed by his brother.
And now, Ji Zhu regretted it a little, and previously proposed to use Dongzhiguan as the main breakthrough in this battle. Because of that, he, the head of the family, had to become a pioneer general when his uncle Ji Tao failed to return to the Ji family from the Yunze faction in time.
Although the arrow wound on his right shoulder is almost healed, Ji Zhu still has a relationship, he has not touched anyone for many years. In Ji Zhu's opinion, try not to do it when you can't do it yourself, especially the battle situation of this Xuanwu Conference made him understand a truth, that is, you may die if you do it, and only if you don't do it can you live.
Also, the hot-blooded eight-fold Lian Feng can die at the hands of the hot-blooded four-fold Lu Zhang, and Yun Lei can die at the hands of the seventeen-year-old Lu Buqi, what else is impossible about this sinister shijie?
Now, there is another most vivid example, that is, the copper-scaled rhinoceros can be thrown to death, and if he is not careful, he may also die without a place to be buried. Ji Zhu didn't mind following Long Yuanhou to fight the country, after all, if he could really succeed, he could become a person under one person and above ten thousand, but he didn't want to fight by himself. He also hopes to have life to enjoy life, he is only in his sixties now, his health is very good, and he can sing every night, hug the jade with incense, and live very happily.
Therefore, when he heard the scout in front of him say that the stone wall of the valley mouth in front of him was engraved with the words "Ji Zhu died here", his first choice was to stop the march.
