Chapter 76: Master Hu Yuantu

There are actually 600 formed soldiers in Fallen Soul Ridge?

This is definitely something that is beyond everyone's expectations, and Li Xiaobai also has to be cautious, because soldiers and rabble are completely different, if it is six hundred improvised bandits, Li Xiaobai and a few people around him still have the confidence to retreat with their whole body! However, if it is with a skilled army, it will be completely different, after all, when Yuwen Feiyang led more than 10,000 people, he trapped the god of war Li Du, although Li Du was already seriously injured, this is enough to explain the problem.

The last time he was a guest in Falling Soul Ridge, Li Xiaobai found that this was a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was really a good place to garrison troops. The question is where did so many soldiers come from?

"There's something strange about this matter, let's find a place to rest for the time being, and I'll go in with Wen Wan in the evening to investigate. ”

Li Xiaobai and the others discussed countermeasures together, for the sake of prudence, they still couldn't be careless until they figured out the situation in the Falling Soul Ridge. In case of a real conflict with these six hundred soldiers, among these people, Li Xiaobai Wen Wan and San can get out, and it is difficult for others to say, even if it is the three people of the Xuanzi group, if they are surrounded by six hundred soldiers, it will not be easy to kill them.

......

A few people waited in a nearby grove for dark. Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan took the three to explore the Soul Ridge at night.

Among the three, Wen Wan's martial arts are the strongest, and the top master intermediary is close to the peak. The original Western Heavenly King Liu Xianyang was also in this realm, but the current three is only one of Liu Xianyang's three souls, and he has recovered from a serious injury, and now his divine consciousness has recovered well, and his strength is only the first level of the top master. Li Xiaobai is the pinnacle of the realm of ordinary masters, and he has not broken through. However, all three of them have practiced the white horse crossing body method, especially Li Xiaobai is the most exquisite.

About two watches, the bright moon hangs in the sky. The three of them were like three wisps of smoke, and they rushed to the Soul Ridge.

When he arrived at the front of the cliff at the entrance of the Falling Soul Ridge, Li Xiaobai used Yuan Force to urge "Tongzhi" to contact the Xuanzi group.

Xuan Yu appeared from the dark and walked in front of Li Xiaobai.

"Report to the general, five people went up the cliff in the evening, in order not to startle the snake, the subordinates did not attack them, everything else is normal. ”

"Well, we'll go up now, and you guys will keep watching. ”

"Yes. ”

After Xuan Yu agreed, he disappeared into the darkness again, Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan quietly went up the cliff, and the three answered behind.

......

Li Xiaobai was cautious and carefully observed the secret whistle on the cliff.

Two people were found first, hiding in a deep pit dug out, covered with weeds, well hidden.

Wen Wan's fingers popped out one by one small stones, which attracted the attention of the two people, and kept looking, Li Xiaobai had quietly sneaked behind the two of them, and knocked the two unconscious with two gentle strokes. Because the situation is unclear now, Li Xiaobai doesn't want to kill.

In this way, those who can dodge will dodge, and those who can't dodge will be knocked unconscious. A few hundred meters of the cliff, there are actually five secret posts, not including three bright posts, it is not an exaggeration to say that the guards are strict.

Finally climbed the cliff and saw the scene in front of them, Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan were surprised!

The formation of the Tang Imperial Army was based on battalions as the main combat units, with 200 people per battalion, and the commander was a lieutenant and two deputy lieutenants. Each battalion commands two brigades, each with 100 men, and the commander is the brigade commander, and the two deputy brigade commanders are below. Each brigade has two teams, each team has 50 people, the commander is the captain and the two deputy captains are the captains. Each team has jurisdiction over five fires, ten people per fire, the chief is the fire chief, and two deputy fire chiefs.

In the camp on the cliff of Falling Soul Ridge, three battalions were stationed in three places, and one of them was actually a cavalry battalion! Such an army, if it was really pulled outside, would also be a combat force that should not be underestimated.

Although it was on the cliff, the barracks still had sentry posts. The entire Fallen Soul Ridge cottage is in good order, and this is really a well-trained army.

Who is hiding such an army?

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan were both a little dazed.

......

Since there are three battalions stationed here, there must be a lieutenant and two deputy lieutenants Guo Yi. Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan took a closer look and sneaked towards a few houses in the center.

These are the houses where the original Lu Ranger and a few people lived, and there were soldiers patrolling back and forth around them. There is a room where the lights are on right now.

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan avoided the patrolling soldiers, slowly approached the house, and eavesdropped under the windows to listen to the people inside.

"Lord Hu, now the outside form is still not improving, the rebels of General Xiao Chaotian have captured Changzhou, here Yuwen Feiyang is fighting fiercely in Yuanzhou, I'm afraid Yuanzhou will not be able to hold out for a few days, our reserves are only half a month, when will we be able to transport grain up again?"

"Captain Yang, the lower official has already contacted the mountain, and he has been a little nervous recently, after this period of time, we can send troops down the mountain. The battle is too fierce now, and the people of our three battalions are like sinking into the sea, and they can't make waves at all, so we still have to forbear, wasn't this the purpose of Lord Yang back then?"

"What Master Hu said is that the meaning of our existence is to be able to draw the enemy's energy in the rear of the rebels when the battle is at a stalemate in the future!"

......

There were four people talking inside, and the voice of this Lord Hu was very familiar, Li Xiaobai thought for a while, it turned out to be Hu Yuantu Hu County Order!

Hu Xianling was actually in the barracks? Li Xiaobai was a little confused.

After waiting for a long time, Hu Yuantu came out of the room and walked to his room not far away.

Hu Yuantu had just walked into the room, and before he could sit down, he suddenly saw Li Xiaobai appear.

"Who?...... Li Xiaobai?"

Li Xiaobai looked at the frightened Hu Yuantu and smiled slightly.

"Master Hu, don't be nervous, I didn't expect to meet you here?"

Hu Yuantu is not an ordinary person, he quickly calmed down, but when he remembered the battle between Li Xiaobai and Yuwen Feiyang, he was not calm again!

Li ...... General Li, why are you here?"

"Lord Hu don't be impatient, I don't have any malicious intent, I just want to see where this Fallen Soul Ridge is the army, I really didn't expect Lord Hu to appear here!"

"Oh, General Li is not an outsider either! To tell you the truth, this army is the legacy of Lord Yang Duzhong Yang, and it is now under the control of Lord Linghu Huan. ”

"What?"

Li Xiaobai was a little surprised, it was his turn not to be calm.

"Yang Qianzhong's army?"

"Yes, Yang Qianzhong was a pawn planted here back then, just to prepare for this day! He has been secretly training the army and accumulating strength, just against the general Xiao Chaotian, but I didn't expect that before Xiao Chaotian rebelled, Yang Qianzhong was assassinated by you!"

Hu Yuantu said, looking at Li Xiaobai and laughing.

Li Xiaobai himself was also a little embarrassed.

"Hehe! This is not important, to the point!"

"Well, the lower official thanked General Li for saving his life!"

Li Xiaobai was slightly stunned, this is also the point?

"Hehe......! Master Hu doesn't have to be polite, he was originally affected by me. ”

"Xiaguan still has to thank General Li, under the control of Yang Qianzhong, Xiaguan is in danger, and sooner or later he will still be framed. ”

"Okay, Lord Hu, shall we talk about the affairs of the army?"

"Oh, yes! When Lord Ling Hu Huan took over Xiangzhou City, he also received this army, and later the imperial court officially recognized and ordered Lord Hu Huan to assassinate Xiangzhou, and at the same time handed over the mission of this army to him!"

"A few years ago, it was Lord Ling Hu Huan who led the army to exterminate the bandits in the Falling Soul Ridge, and now the general Xiao Chaotian has rebelled, so he remembered this place and drove away the dozens of bandits, and this army is stationed here. ”

"Master Hu, that group of people is my friend. ”

"Ahh

Hu Yuantu feels that there are so many accidents in life!

"Originally, for the sake of secrecy, they should have all been killed, but fortunately, the lower officials thought that the person in charge was more reliable, so they just drove them out and let them go away, the farther away the better! Fortunately, there was no killing, otherwise it would be really difficult to face General Li!"

Li Xiaobai almost laughed when he heard Hu Yuantu say that Lu Ranger was reliable, this is the most unreliable person, okay? It's just that he has no desire!

"General Li, you should go to Xiangzhou to meet Lord Linghu Huan!"

"Lord Hu, I heard that when the general Xiao Chaotian led the army from the edge of the town, Ling Hu Huan surrendered directly?"

"Please General Li believe me, and I also believe in Lord Linghu Huan, this is all an expedient measure to protect the people of Xiangzhou, and it is also to preserve strength!"

......

In fact, Hu Yuantu said at the beginning that when this army was under the control of Ling Hu Huan, Li Xiaobai decided to meet him!

When he met those Hedong troops in Changzhou a few days ago, Li Xiaobai told the captain that he hoped he would stay alive.

In Li Xiaobai's heart now, integrity is of course very important, but nothing is more important than life!

Therefore, he can understand Ling Hu Huan's move to surrender, how this person is, or is it more reflected in some details.

There will definitely be some risks, but Li Xiaobai feels that he should take the risk to meet Ling Huhuan, just like taking the risk to meet Hu Yuantu, when the benefits outweigh the risks, or the risks are controllable, it is worth the risk!
