Chapter 48: The Sentinel Battle
Li Mi's words touched He Luguang a lot, and he nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, I will try my best to save the lives of the sergeants and leave them for the future." ”
Li Mi said again: "After entering the Black Mountain Edict, I immediately informed the Qingcheng faction, and asked Daoist Yuan Dan and Elder Yu to bring the Qingcheng monks to meet and encircle Weiyuan. ”
He Luguang was stunned: "Will the head of the Yuan Dan sect come? doesn't it mean that it is inconvenient for them to come forward openly?"
Li Mi said: "I'm sorry Junfu, this matter is very important, in order to prevent the Luofu faction from becoming a complication, I can only keep it secret, and the only one who knows about this matter is Xian Yu Jiedu and I, and I didn't tell you in advance." ”
He Luguang has always believed and admired Li Mi, and when he saw Li Mi apologizing to himself, the unhappiness in his heart immediately disappeared, and he said excitedly: "With Qingcheng sending a hand, we are like a tiger!"
Li Mi confessed: "Originally, I was going to join forces with Qingcheng to attack the county seat of Montenegro, but now the strategy has changed, and the main force of the Southern Wu thieves has gathered in Weiyuan, so I should ask the head of Yuan Dan to go to Weiyuan." After I take the county town of Montenegro, if the thief army is dispersed, it will be encircled and killed together, and if the thief army resists stubbornly and breaks the three-element extreme true magic array, it will be handed over to the Qingcheng faction, don't take the sergeant to fight hard. Also, the three ladies have a lot of experience in fighting, and they will be handed over to the Qingcheng faction to deal with, and the bitter mulberry in Tonghai will also try to do the same, you are the main general, and if you can, you won't shoot. ”
He Luguang nodded: "Understood." Then he asked, "What benefit did they promise by sending troops?"
Li Mi said: "They want to pass the edict of the sea." ”
He Luguang sighed: "The appetite is really not small!"
Li Mi left the camp with 3,000 elite soldiers at night, and He Luguang continued to urge the army to march along the original route.
When the army arrived at Shisang, He Luguang ordered the village to be formed, and the scale of the camp remained unchanged. Looking at the sword light flying from the mountain in the distance, He Luguang ordered: "From today onwards, increase the intensity of expulsion, and don't let the Southern Wu thieves spy within three miles!"
As his military order was issued, the Yizhou army swept up a golden light, and the Jindan sentry probed out, expanding the search range outward again, and even if it triggered many confrontations, it bloomed in the night sky.
The expulsion of the Yizhou army immediately attracted more snooping on the Jindan monks of Southern Wu, and on the passage of the army's advance, there would often be a sudden outbreak of fighting between sentinels. In terms of personal cultivation and fighting strength, the Yizhou Jindan obviously fell behind, they couldn't fight the Nanwu Jindan, a few days passed, and many Jindan were injured, if it wasn't for He Luguang to take action personally, I'm afraid they would have died long ago.
In the scattered battles that broke out in advance between the Jindan monks, the performance of Yizhou Jindan was obviously inferior to that of the Qingcheng faction Jindan, and the performance of the Qingcheng faction Jindan was not as good as the Jindan who came to the aid of Fan Yang. For Nanwu Jindan, it is easiest to fight Yizhou Jindan, and it is much more difficult to beat Qingcheng Jindan, the most difficult to fight is Fanyang Jindan, Qiu Dabo's injury is caused by Fanyang Jindan, which is also the first injury of Nanwu Jindan in this outpost battle.
Due to the continuous intensive harassment of Jindan in Southern Wu, the sentinel range of the Yizhou army was greatly compressed, and the forward outfit could not exceed ten miles, but He Luguang was not in a hurry, but was very relieved, so many Jindan monks of Southern Wu thieves appeared here, which just showed that their eyes were firmly attracted by themselves, which created excellent conditions for Li Mi's light army raid.
Qiu Dabo was injured and carried back to Mengle Mountain, Gu Zuo went to visit, and saw that he was not in danger of life and death, so he was relieved.
Qiu Dabo just applied medicine to his chest, and said hatefully: "Fan Yang's dog thief, the methods are really ruthless, when Lao Tzu's injury is healed, he must be killed one by one!"
Luo Jun had just come back from the front, came to Qiu Dabo in a few steps, lifted his clothes as soon as he stretched out his hand, pressed them near Qiu Dabo's wound for a long time, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Qiu Dabo grinned and hissed: "Don't touch it, it doesn't hurt originally, but it hurts when you touch it!"
Luo Jun sighed: "Rare?" turned his head to Gu Zuo and said, "It's not poisonous." ”
Gu Zuo asked: "According to the speed of the Yizhou army, there is still one day to arrive, can the battlefield remain blocked?"
Luo Jun is very confident: "I haven't let go of the fight yet, if it weren't for the fear of being attacked by He Luguang, with our dozens of Jindan Daoists, the Yizhou Army would have to suffer along the way." ”
Gu Zuo said: "The three ladies and the Kusang Dao people still don't show up, everything is based on the Mengle Mountain battlefield, and strive for total annihilation." ”
Luo Jun asked, "Do you want to find a way to lure Li Mi to speed up his pace, they are walking too slowly." ”
Gu Zuo thought about it, and {vinegar slip-literary debut} also vetoed this proposal: "Although it is slow, the route of Li Mi and He Luguang has not changed, if it is to lure the enemy, I am worried that it will have the opposite effect." Yang Jian and Gu You both said that Li Mi was cautious and did not arouse his suspicions. ”
After another day, the struggling Yizhou army finally approached Mengle Mountain, and Luo Jun asked the Jindan monks to suspend the attack and leave a short window period.
More than a dozen Jindan monks of the Yizhou Army finally flew to Mengle Mountain and began to patrol the mountain in the air. In the caves where the soldiers were hidden everywhere, the Southern Wu army was strictly ordered not to show their heads, and those who disobeyed the military orders were immediately beheaded!
The Yizhou Jindan took a few turns on Mengle Mountain, and immediately reported to He Luguang in the rear: "We repelled the spies of the Southern Wu thieves and occupied Mengle Mountain. ”
He Luguang said to the left and right: "The more our army sentinels fight, the more courageous they become, the thieves of Southern Wu are declining, and their morale has been frustrated. ”
Both left and right laughed and said: "After all, he is a traitor, how can he be General He's opponent?"
He Luguang ordered: "Continue to move forward and expand the scope of the search." ”
At this time, the forward came to report that the army had arrived at Mengle Mountain, He Luguang raised his eyes and looked forward, and a Qingcheng monk pointed to the mountains in the distance in front of him and said: "General, the mountains in front of you are Mengle Mountain, the valley mouth is located on the left, and the valley road is about twelve miles. ”
He Luguang roughly judged that it was about ten miles away from the valley mouth, but the mountain road was about fifteen or sixteen miles, so he said: "Urge the army to advance, make the forward speed through the valley, set up camp outside the valley, and at the same time look for a place to set up a grain platform." Let Sima send men to set up sentry posts at the top of the two mountains of the valley road. ”
He also summoned a few monks from Qingcheng and said, "Please send someone to report to the head of Yuandan and Elder Yu, my army has entered the Black Mountain edict and occupied Mengle Mountain, please send your faction to join us quickly." ”
A Qingcheng monk immediately took off to report the news. He first flew north for more than ten miles, out of the field of vision of the army, suddenly turned west, crossed the mountains, entered the Qingcheng Zhao, and then flew more than 30 miles, and landed under the white cloud cliff of Weishan.
Yuan Dan Lao Dao and Elder Yu are here, less than fifty miles away from Mengle Mountain!
After listening to the disciple's advice, Elder Yu asked, "So, Gu Zuo's main force is in Weiyuan?"
The disciple said: "The military information found out, the Southern Wu Army is indeed coming from Weiyuan, General He judged it so. ”
Elder Yu asked again, "How does Li Mi want to fight?"
The disciple said: "General He only said that he invited us to go to Mengle Mountain to meet, but did not say how to fight." ”
Elder Yu frowned: "I'm asking about Li Mi. ”
The disciple said: "I didn't see General Li two days ago, and General He has always arranged military affairs. ”
Elder Yu looked back at Elder Yuan Dan and said, "Senior Brother in charge, Li Mi has gone to steal the county seat of Montenegro." ”
Yuan Dan Lao Dao nodded, and was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a long laugh from the clouds in the sky: "Master Yuan Dan, you are not in Qingcheng Mountain, why did you suddenly come here to play?"
