Chapter 262 Establishing Prestige
While intercepting and killing the beggar army transporting food, Ji Yong thought of the revenge of Black Cloud Mountain.
So I have been preparing for this battle.
It is very difficult to break through Wubao in Heiyun Mountain, but it is also not easy for Jijiabao to break through Heiyun Mountain.
The elite Gaoli Imperial Guard cannot capture Heiyun Mountain, let alone Jijia Fort, but if the thieves from Heiyun Mountain come down from the mountain, it will be a different story.
The ancestors of the Ji family have lived on the banks of the Si River for generations. The family is very powerful. It started building docks in the late Han Dynasty and has continued to this day, withstanding countless attacks by the Hu people.
After so many years, Ji Yong has given up on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they will never send troops to the Northern Expedition to regain their homeland.
If Jijiabao wants to develop, it must climb a high branch.
Now that Shi Hu is no longer what he once was, Prince Shi Xuan is the best person to seek refuge with.
For this reason, he sent the apple of his eye up.
By destroying Heiyun Mountain, you can prove your worth to Shi Xuan and get the long-coveted Xingyang Prefect.
A few years later, Shi Hu died and the prince ascended the throne, and Jijiabao would make further progress.
Ji Yong was a cautious man, and there were not only watchtowers on both sides of the Sishui River, but also more than 20 hidden sentries.
"Master of the dock, the thieves have entered our ambush!" A secret sentry came to report.
"How many people are here?" The heavy rain poured down, but it could not extinguish the flame in Ji Yong's heart.
Jijiabao has been accumulating for decades, waiting for an opportunity to rise to prominence.
"Seven to eight hundred people!"
"That's all?" Ji Yong frowned.
"It can't be wrong. Before they sent out troops, they also sent many scouts, who appeared and disappeared, and killed many of our brothers!" An Shao had a lingering fear on his face.
Ji Yong was still pondering, there were at least three thousand bandits on Black Cloud Mountain.
Then these eight hundred people are undoubtedly the vanguard.
"Let the ambush troops in the west surround and attack them, while the east side will not move for the time being." Ji Yong made a quick decision.
"Follow the order!" The secret whistle flew away.
To the west, there are 1,500 young men and women, including 500 old soldiers, hiding in the dark, enough to deal with the 700 to 800 vanguards of Heiyun Mountain.
Ji Yong closed his eyes, lay down on the soft couch, and continued to recharge his batteries.
Two pretty maids on the left and right lowered their shoulders and rubbed his legs.
There were faint sounds of fighting in the heavy rain and darkness.
A moment later, the secret whistle came in panic and reported, "Master of the dock, the thieves are very brave and have defeated the ambush in the west!"
"What?" Ji Yong was shocked. After being a neighbor for so many years, he knew better than anyone how much combat power Black Cloud Mountain had. There was no way he could defeat his 1,500 ambush troops in such a short period of time.
"Bring out all the ambush troops and annihilate all the thieves!" Ji Yong made a decision immediately.
This group of people must be the elites of Heiyun Mountain. If they are eaten, Heiyun Mountain will be left empty-handed!
"Old soldiers in the fort, please work with me to wipe out this group of thieves quickly without leaving any prisoners! Ji Yong grabbed the long branch on Lan Qi and decided not to give any chance to the "thieves" outside the city...
It's just a shower, it comes and goes quickly.
After a burst of lightning and thunder, the earth was once again submerged in rolling darkness, and only the sound of fighting in the distance could be heard intermittently.
"Report to the general, Fangtou's people are trapped in a tight siege and are fighting hard!" The scout rushed back in a hurry.
The eyes around Li Yue were full of awe.
They didn't know who Ji Yong was. How could Li Yue, who had suffered so much, not know?
Li Yue said: "How many people are there in Jijiabao and how long can they last?"
The scout answered honestly: "There is no way of knowing in the dark. It is estimated that there are about 3,000 people. Fangtou's people have been unable to break through the encirclement several times. There is a possibility of being wiped out!"
Three thousand people besieged 800 people and set up an ambush. Even if Lu Polou and Qiang Wang were elites, they would lose their skin if they didn't die this time.
In the land of hundreds of battles in the Central Plains, Pu Hong's men and horses are indeed elite, but the powerful men of Wubao are not easy to provoke.
The Di people have been doing well in Fangtou in the past few years, with their eyes fixed on Hebei, and they have somewhat underestimated the forces south of the river.
They look down on Heiyun Mountain, and naturally they look down on Jijiabao.
Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
Wei Shan said bitterly: "Okay! Let these idiots look down upon others!"
Xu Cheng laughed and said, "You deserve it!"
Li Yue also felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart. The reason why he changed his name to general, commander, and Sima was because he didn't want to be associated with the word "thief". However, the other party called him "bandit and mountain bandit" and ridiculed him for being so timid.
mouse……
However, others can enjoy their own grudges, but Li Yue has to take the overall situation into consideration.
Heiyun Mountain is small and weak, so it can neither offend the begging army nor offend the Di people too much, at least it can't offend them now.
This group of people all died in Jijiabao, and Heiyun Mountain could not explain to Fangtou.
Besides, Lei Ruo'er was kind to him, and he even provided help in times of need, transporting 700 shi of food, so there was no need to make the relationship too tense.
"Send out the entire army and attack Jijiabao!" Li Yue drew out his sword and shouted.
Everyone looked confused for a while, but they still obeyed out of habit.
Even Wei Shan pulled out his long sword and shouted: "Kill!"
He led five hundred soldiers to the front.
Only Xu Cheng was beside him and whispered: "Since the enemy's main force has been held back, why doesn't the general take the opportunity to attack the fort?"
"The two entrances and exits of Jijia Fort are heavily guarded. If we attack the fort, the enemies outside the fort will abandon their troops and attack us. It will be dangerous to attack us from both inside and outside!"
The door is deeply memorable.
Although Xu Cheng's suggestion does have the possibility of success, it is extremely risky.
The safest way is to concentrate your forces and strike suddenly to defeat the enemy outside the city. The people inside the city will definitely be frightened, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the fortress.
In the first battle, it is better to play it safe.
Jijiabao is not a refugee in the Funiu Mountains.
Days of hard training were not in vain.
The soldiers did not rush forward in a swarm as usual, but under the command of their commanders, they cooperated with each other and warned each other.
Like a big open net, it spreads over the Si River Plain.
Li Yue led the rear army to follow closely behind. The scouts searched inch by inch and removed the hidden sentries one by one.
The sound of fighting is getting closer and closer.
"I never thought that I, Lu Polou... would be unable to achieve great things in this place!" One person shouted intermittently, looking extremely desolate in the dark night.
But the sound was soon drowned out by the brutal fighting.
Under the light of a few torches, swords and spears were shaking violently, and corpses were everywhere.
The Di people were surrounded in Gaixin, and the people from Jijiabao surrounded and killed them with spears and arrows, giving them no chance at all.
If Li Yue had come a moment later, I'm afraid not a single person would be left alive.
Of course, Jijiabao's casualties were not small, and it was not easy to trap this enemy. Even at the end of the road, an arrow would suddenly shoot out of Gai's heart, hitting Ji's family in the eye sockets and throats.
Some people got angry and hit the reed-like spears. They were hit by six or seven spears, and even their internal organs came out. However, when they fell, they chopped down an enemy.
"You are not the thieves of Heiyun Mountain!" A man on horseback shouted loudly among the chaos of swords and spears.
Then in the faint light of the torch, Li Yue faintly recognized Ji Yong.
His heart suddenly became excited. If he was killed outside the fort, Jijia Fort would be destroyed.
However, Ji Yong's face suddenly changed as he realized something, "Ji Cheng, Ji Kuang, kill them quickly. Soldiers, follow me back to the fortress!"
Chapter completed!
