Chapter 121 One More Person
p Chengdu Mansion, Genting Mountain.
This place is about 80 miles away from Chengdu Prefecture and is located in the middle of the Longquan Mountains in Jintang County.
And look at this place, the mountain is straight into the sky, the cliff is steep but like a knife and axe, the mountain stretches for several miles, but if you can climb to the top of the mountain, you can see that on the top of this mountain, there are dozens of acres of flat land, and the peaks knocked up on both sides, teach people to look, just like the city wall, so this place is called "Shicheng Mountain" again.
In order to defend against the Mongol army, the Song Dynasty once forged a mountain city here, but now it is used as a fortress to resist the attack of the Red Phoenix Army, which is extremely frustrating.
In order to prevent Niu Feng from threatening the rear of the Chifeng army, Xiao Feng sent his men and horses to besiege them, trying to completely eliminate the other party in one go.
At this moment, on the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain, dozens of soldiers are walking up the steps, and dozens of artillery pieces are firing together behind them, suppressing the artillery fire on the mountain peak for them.
The artillery fire rumbled, as if the forts on the mountain were silent for a while, but there was no movement.
Seeing that the other party was temporarily suspended, the commander was immediately overjoyed, and shouted: "It's now, rush up with me!" He immediately took the lead and rushed forward dozens of steps, wanting to cross the stone path and break into the mountain gate, so as to seize this place.
Immediately after, those warriors were also high-spirited, and one by one they all gathered their strength and rushed towards the mountain.
He was about to cross the valley and set foot in the stone city on the mountain, but he saw a sneering sound under his feet, and when he looked at it, he saw that a line of fire quickly disappeared, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The crowd was terrified and shouted, "Run!"
But there was not enough time, how could they escape from life, and they were immediately involved in the explosion, some people were directly stoned to death by the rubble, some people were shocked out of the stone path and fell into the cliff, and some people fainted directly, their eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bloody, but they were shocked to death by life.
All kinds of deaths, and so on.
Because of the explosion, the crumbling rubble also completely filled the entire stone path, making it difficult to climb.
"Damn, it's failed again!" Located at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Che saw this scene and felt extremely annoyed: "I thought I could easily capture Chengdu Mansion." Who would have expected that the other party would huddle on top of this Genting Mountain, which was really annoying. Fu You instructed the people around him: "You go find a few strong men, pick up the corpses of the soldiers who fell off the cliff, and make sure that they are buried safely." ”
Duan Feng was also distressed: "It seems that if you want to conquer this city, I am afraid that the only way to besiege the city is to take the method of besieging the city." But our army is sparsely armed, and if this is the case, then the entire army will be completely pinned down here, and it will be difficult to deal a blow to the main Mongol force. If that's the case, how can we conquer this city?"
The two looked at each other and immediately smiled bitterly.
Between this Yunding Mountain and Chengdu Mansion, there are flat plateaus, if it is a cavalry, it only takes less than half a day to be able to arrive. And the reason why Niu Phosphorus did not send a large army was because there was Xiao Feng in Chengdu Mansion, if he really started a fight, he was definitely not Xiao Feng's opponent.
But after all, Xiao Feng was the only one in the Red Feng Army, and if he was replaced by the rest, it would be difficult to confront Niu Li.
Therefore, the Chifeng army has always been entrenched here, just hoping to completely conquer Yunding Mountain and exterminate the New Phosphorus army.
The two naturally knew that this matter was important, but they had no choice but to make no progress for nearly a month.
"Anyway, report this to the Lord first. See how she decides. ”
Glancing at each other, Zhang Che and Duan Feng made a decision together, and even drove the war horse under their crotch and ran towards Chengdu Mansion.
In less than an hour, the two of them had already arrived in front of Chengdu Mansion.
Stepping into the city gate and walking towards the city government, Zhang Che saw that on the bolted horse pillar in front of the palace gate, a jujube red war horse was being tethered, and in his heart, he asked the guard who was guarding the gate: "I remember that this horse is Master Xiao's mount, when will she come back?"
"Just yesterday evening. The guard replied: "It's just General Zhang, don't you have something you want to ask Master Xiao for something?"
However, he knew that Zhang Che had always been troubled by the Mengjun of Yunding Mountain, so he asked this question.
"It's not. It's just a little curious. After all, when the lord ordered Xiao to go on the expedition, it was to sweep away the surrounding Mongolian army, and by the way, he collected the defeated Song army for reinforcements. Zhang Che's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he continued: "It's just that I didn't expect Director Xiao to do it so quickly. ”
Thinking of Xiao Yue who returned here, Zhang Che and Duan Feng were a little nervous, and they were also uneasy in their hearts.
After all, Xiao Yue's matter had been resolved, but they had never succeeded, so they were naturally afraid that they would be blamed for it.
The guard seemed to see through the hearts of the two of them, and said with a smile: "The lord mansion is kind-hearted, if you explain the situation clearly, you two will naturally be able to forgive." ”
"Thank you for your good words. Taking a deep breath, the two walked into the mansion with a worried expression, and even though they saw that in the courtyard, there was a middle-aged man who was wielding a spear.
I saw that this person was burly, and the spear in his hand was even more powerful, but with a slight movement, he immediately stirred up thousands of wind blades, but this wind blade was always condensed within three feet of the spear body, and it was not leaked at all.
"What an amazing cultivation. Who the hell is this person?"
The two of them were surprised for a moment, but they couldn't hide the doubts in their hearts, and opened their mouths to ask: "I'm Zhang Che, the commander of the First Brigade of the Red Phoenix Army, and Duan Feng, the chief of staff, but I don't know who Your Excellency is, why is it here?"
The man heard the voice, and then he noticed the two people standing next to him.
I saw him manipulating the spear, stabbing it into the sky, thousands of wind blades rushed into the sky, and the white clouds in the sky were completely blown away in an instant, and only then did he put away the spear and slammed it into the two of them, and then he complained: "It turned out to be a strong general under the command of the Red Phoenix Army." I am Pu Zhi, please forgive me for my previous offense. ”
"Pu Zhizhi? It turned out to be the envoy of Sichuan. The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, which is really rude. Hearing this name, Sun Che and Duan Feng were surprised for a moment, and hurriedly leaned over and thanked them.
Although they are members of the Red Phoenix Army, they also attach great importance to the situation in Sichuan on weekdays, and naturally know what role this person in front of them plays in the Sichuan and Shu generation.
After all, as a general guarding Chengdu Mansion in the past, Pu Zezhi was the most famous person in the Sichuan army, except for Yu Jue and Wang Jian. It's a pity that because of the defeat and defeat of the army, he was belittled by Lin'an, and even changed to an afterglow who did not know the military formation.
Treating it like this naturally makes everyone angry.
But I didn't expect that Pu Zhizhi would come here?
Seeing that the eyes of the two of them lit up, Pu Zhizhi shook his head lightly, and said modestly: "What are you talking about?" I'm just a civilian now, and I have nothing to do with Lin'an anymore. His face was full of sourness, and he was clearly dissatisfied with his current situation.
But he was originally a general of the Song Dynasty, how could he oppose Lin'an with only one person?
Zhang Che was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? Then I don't know why the general came here?"
But he knew that the Yunding Mountain City was built by Pu Xuezhi, and if it wasn't for Yang Dayuan who defected to the Mongolian army and told Niu Phosphorus about the internal situation of Yunding City, how could Niu Phosphorus conquer Yunding Mountain?
