Chapter 261: Not Retreating
After two days of siege training in the mountains, the appointed time arrived.
Li Yue asked Zhou Qian to lead more than 200 people to guard the mountain stronghold, and Wei Shan led more than 1,800 people to go down the mountain in the morning and rush to Jijiabao. It should be dusk, and then corrected for three or four hours and attacked at dawn.
A frontal attack would definitely result in huge losses, so we could only attack at night.
Along the way, the soldiers' fighting spirit was extremely high.
Many people were whispering, secretly cursing the Ji family for being Han Chinese, but secretly surrendering to the Jie slaves and forgetting their ancestors.
Since they have gone to Heiyun Mountain, they must be people who do not want to surrender to Jie Zhao.
Li Yue talked about the old events of the Qin and Han Dynasties for a month, which also aroused their feelings about their family and country.
"Silence!" the officers scolded in low voices.
The soldiers lowered their heads and concentrated on their way.
More than a hundred scouts scattered in all directions. They had no horses and could only trot on two legs.
The more than 30 horses on the mountain only eat grass without being fed intensively. They are getting thinner and thinner, and they have no strength to go down the mountain.
This is why Li Yue did not hesitate to agree to Lei Ruoer's attack on Jijiabao.
The supplies on Heiyun Mountain are so scarce, there is nothing, even the salt is almost gone.
The beasts were more sophisticated than humans and fled deep into the mountains. They annexed all the strongholds within a hundred miles that could be annexed. Any further away would exceed the power radiation range of Black Cloud Mountain.
The development of Heiyun Mountain has reached a bottleneck stage.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a piece of cultivated land to provide a stable source of food, and we cannot always wait for Guangzong and Chenliu to help.
The world will change if it changes, and there will be no food if it doesn't exist.
Looking at the surrounding area, only Jijiabao deserves a beating. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and new and old hatreds are connected with each other.
Even if they don't steal food, Li Yue is prepared to go down the mountain and kill them after more than two months of training.
The fact that Jijiabao took the initiative showed that they had long been thinking about the mountain.
After descending from Heiyun Mountain, it is less than thirty miles away from the boundary of Jijiabao. The two sides are so close, and it is not easy to be able to live in peace and harmony for so many years.
There are many watchtowers set up in Jijiabao on both sides of the Sishui River. They are guarded all year round to guard against wild beasts and enemies.
Li Yue ordered them to rest in the woods at the foot of the mountain, and sent more than 300 scouts to take advantage of the nightfall to eliminate these watchtowers one by one.
Some experienced soldiers fell asleep.
The young soldiers kept wiping their swords, shields, bows and arrows with excitement on their faces.
Li Yue gradually fell asleep listening to the sound of "cuckoo cuckoo" in the wilderness and the cool summer breeze blowing.
After sleeping for an hour, I was woken up by the scout, "General, Fangtou's men are here!"
The scout pointed behind him.
He couldn't see his fingers, there weren't even stars in the sky, and Li Yue didn't see anything.
However, I heard the sound of footsteps.
As I got closer, I saw two figures in front of me, one tall and one short, and dozens of people behind them holding dazzling white knives in their hands.
The people around Li Yue were also alert, carrying swords and shields to protect him in front.
It was because the scouts were inexperienced that they let people rush in front of them.
If the other party has malicious intentions and suddenly takes action at this time, you will be caught off guard.
You must take some precautions in the future.
A strong voice came from the darkness, "Fangtou Lu Po Lou, Qiang Wang, may I ask if you are the leader of Li Village."
"Exactly!"
Fu Hong has been operating in Fangtou for fourteen years and has many people under his command. It is no wonder that people at the time commented that Fangtou has a kingly spirit.
Wang Qi means popularity.
When Shi Le rose to prominence, he was accompanied by eighteen barbarian cavalry, who were extremely brave, fought in both the south and the north, and were unswervingly determined. They were the backbone of Jie Zhao in the future.
It's a pity that the foundation of Heiyun Mountain is too thin.
Two brothers and one ran away...
"The time is almost up, how about a quick attack?" the tall man said with a gentle voice.
Li Yue looked at the dark night sky. The night in ancient times was really dark. It was really dark to reach out and even Jijiabao in the distance was hidden in the dark night.
I counted the time silently, and it was not yet the time when Dawn Man was most tired.
And I don’t know if Jijiabao has any hidden sentries along the way.
"You two have come a long way and the soldiers are tired. It's better to take a rest. When the enemy is in trouble, it won't be too late to attack again." Li Yue had dealt with Ji Yong before, and he was quite cunning and insidious.
Jijiabao didn't even use a torch, so he must be on guard.
Another short voice said in a loud voice: "Humph, mountain bandits are mountain bandits. They are as timid as mice. They are just a fort. Why should you be timid? If you don't go, we eight hundred men can take down the contents of the fort.
, not a penny belongs to you!”
Li Yue couldn't help but frown. His good intentions were met with ridicule from the other party.
The surrounding soldiers were breathing heavily.
Wei Shan slowly pulled out the knife and looked at Li Yue.
Li Yue shook his head.
At any time, we should rely on our strength. Heiyun Mountain is completely incompetent in front of Fangtou. There are hundreds of thousands of others. Lei Ruoer's politeness does not mean that other Fangtou tycoon chiefs will be polite.
The tall voice scolded: "Qiang Wang, don't forget Lei Sima's words of encouragement!"
"It's just a fortress, why bother borrowing the power of these bandits? If word spreads, it will make the heroes of Hebei laugh. If you are afraid, just stay here and rest. I will go with my troops myself!"
Then came the sound of leaving footsteps.
The other person didn't say much and followed with his followers.
Li Yue suppressed the anger in his heart, and the good impression he had accumulated towards the Fu family was half gone. Without strength, no one would respect him.
Wei Shan sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, the general had the foresight and did not summon the powerful people on the ground in Xingyang, otherwise it would be even more chaotic than it is now!"
"If Jijiabao is captured by them, won't we have nothing?" Xu Cheng, the commander next to him, worriedly asked.
Li Yue looked at the direction of Jijiabao in the darkness, and remembered what he had experienced inside Jijiabao, and felt that things were not that simple.
If Ji Yong had no skills, how could he be as stable as Mount Tai in the war-torn Xingyang?
The Fu family does have strength, but that doesn't mean others don't.
"The mantis is chasing the cicada and the oriole is behind. They are willing to be a mantis. We can't ask for it. Send the order and continue to rest!" Li Yueheng made up his mind.
Even if they break through Jijiabao and take away everything, it doesn't matter. They only need the territory and Wubao, so it's not a loss.
Pu Hong attacked Wubao at will under Shi Hu's nose. If he found out about it, it would only make Shi Hu more suspicious, so he would never occupy Jijia Fort and not leave.
Behind Ji Yong is Shi Xuan, and Shi Xuan will definitely not give up.
"Follow the order!" everyone whispered and returned to the woods.
The sound of snoring gradually rose up around me, blending in with the chirping of insects and frogs.
This was originally a relatively peaceful summer night.
But in the blink of an eye, streaks of lightning pierced the night sky, and thunder roared, exposing the Di people on the plain in the distance.
Thunder and lightning seemed to strike right above their heads, fearing that the thunder would also wake up the defenders of Jijiabao.
The rain woke up all the soldiers.
Since the beginning of this year, there have been frequent heavy rains, and floods have occurred in the north and south of the river more than a dozen times. It is unknown how many people have been swallowed up by the floods.
Wei Shandao: "With such heavy rain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack the city. Why don't we come back the next day?"
The soldiers around him also looked at Li Yue.
