Chapter 72 Test
The enemy became angry and changed his tactics.
Zhang Yu is also a refugee commander who came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He has rich experience.
This time, kerosene and rockets were thrown. There were many dead trees and weeds on the mountain, and they caught fire at once, and the flames rose into the sky.
Xuanyuan Mountain has lush vegetation and the threat of fire is great.
The heat wave was rolling around, and soon no one could stand inside the pass.
"We are here, general. Please leave first. We will not retreat until we die." Xu Cheng held the knife with an evil look on his face, but his forehead was covered with sweat.
The people in the death camp raised their heads one after another, with the familiar determination in their eyes.
"It's nonsense. It's just a small pass. How can it be worthy of the life of this general? If they want it, just give it to them. We can take it back when the time comes. Is it possible that this fire can burn forever?" Li Yue said in a relaxed tone.
, resolved the death aura on the soldiers of the death camp.
Things are far from that yet.
There are still six passes behind, and it is impossible for the opponent's trebuchet to move up the mountain.
"Haha, it's worth it to follow the general in this life!" Everyone laughed.
In Li Yue's view, these talents are his real assets.
It is not easy to cultivate a veteran soldier who is not afraid of death.
The enemy's kerosene and rockets expanded their coverage, and they set fire to the mountains everywhere. It looked like they were here to kill them all.
Black clouds were billowing, and many ancient trees were crackling and burning in the fire, as if they were moaning feebly. A group of jackdaws croaked and scurried into the sky, and the wild beasts in the forest fled one after another and kept wailing.
Li Yue stood on the stone wall and suddenly saw a fierce tiger leaping out of the dense forest. However, it did not harm the wild deer around him, but instead fled with them into the mountains.
In this era, even wild beasts cannot live in peace...
"Abandon the first four passes and set up a fire zone in front of the fifth pass." Li Yue said calmly.
Although the fire was fierce, it did not cause substantial damage. Xuanyuan Mountain is so big that it is impossible to burn it all with just one fire.
"General, what is a fire zone?" Xu Cheng was puzzled.
"Clear the dead trees and grass in front of the pass first. The fire will naturally be extinguished if there is nothing to burn." Looking at the fire on the mountain, Li Yue's heart moved. "Throw some corpses into the fire to create the illusion that we have suffered heavy casualties."<
/p>
There are many corpses on the mountain. Many people died during the attack on the mountain a few days ago. They were all buried in one place. They are being taken out now.
Xu Cheng's eyes lit up, "My subordinate understands."
At this time, the scout suddenly ran down from the mountain and said, "General, there is a rebellion in the village, and Cui Sima and General Wei are suppressing it!"
"What a courageous dog!" Xu Cheng cursed.
Li Yue waved his hand, "No need to make a fuss, this is a good thing."
It was too easy to attack Xuanyuan Mountain. Except for Gou Zhan's stubborn resistance in the first battle, the rest of the battle was basically bloodless.
Things that are too easy often have many pitfalls.
This group of people can surrender to themselves, why can't they surrender to the powerful Zhang Yu?
In addition, Xuanyuan Mountain was nominally captured, but the big and small leaders surrendered in time, holding their respective tribes in their hands, so now is an opportunity to completely digest Xuanyuan Mountain.
"I'll leave the matter here to you. I'll go to the mountain to settle the matter."
"General, don't worry!"
Li Yue returned to the mountain with his bodyguards. As he walked, he asked the scouts, "Who is the betrayer? Is it Liang Xiao?"
An army of thousands is easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. Especially for a bandit leader, talent is too important.
The scout replied: "Yu Shandao, Yan Song, Zhao Bang, and Liang leaders restrained the troops and did not participate."
Li Yue stopped and looked at the billowing black smoke spreading into the sky.
To restrain the troops, in other words, to hold the troops still, Wei Shan and Cui Jin combined have more than 1,300 people in their hands.
Wei Shan is brave and Cui Jin is calm and cautious. It should not be difficult to suppress the rebellion on the mountain.
"Everyone rests on the spot, and the scouts report the situation on the mountain every half an hour!"
"Obey!"
This test is a test for Xuanyuan Mountain.
Everyone has their own level to pass, and now it’s Liang Xiao’s turn.
Li Yue has not forgotten the scene when Liang Xiao made a sideways plea for Zheng Sheng.
In troubled times, we don’t have much time to influence others with our heart, so we can only cut through the mess quickly.
Human nature is dark, and those who want to betray cannot be influenced at all, and they will betray sooner or later!
Not everyone is on the same journey, what Li Yue has to do is to select and eliminate...
Inside the main village on the mountain.
Liang Xiao was also looking at the fire at the foot of the mountain, and in his hand was a secret letter written on Zuo Bo paper.
This kind of paper is uniform in thickness, fine in texture, bright in color, and extremely easy to write on. It is highly sought after by nobles and officials, so many great calligraphers emerged during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Within a hundred miles, the only people who can use this kind of paper are the Zheng family.
Moreover, it was written by Zheng Du, the governor of Xingyang.
As long as he takes action, the magistrate of Mi County will be his from now on.
Normally, Liang Xiao wouldn't have to think about it at all. He and Gou Zhan were the main targets of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family had always treated them well. Without them, how could Guo Ning, a big-hearted and brainless man, have succeeded so easily?
However, after meeting Li Yue himself, he was a little shaken.
All wild wolves in the wilderness will take the initiative to surrender to the most powerful one.
Liang Xiao undoubtedly had his own ambitions, but he smelled danger from Li Yue and felt an instinctive fear.
In the past six months, he first killed Zhao Guang, then repulsed the Gaoli Imperial Guard, integrated Black Cloud Mountain, annexed Jijiabao, and then captured Xuanyuan Mountain...
The timing of the capture of Xuanyuan Mountain was so good and so decisive that the mountain had no time to react.
What's even more frightening is that he is not very old, around 20 years old, and he has excellent medical skills...
The potential of this kind of person is endless, and it is foolish to be an enemy of him.
"Brother, Yan Song and the others can't stand the sharp knife anymore." His younger brother Liang Du came to report, but he saw cold sweat on Liang Xiao's forehead.
"Do you think we should take action?" Liang Xiao felt as if there was a sharp blade hanging above his head, cold and cold.
"When we betrayed the old village leader, we were disloyal and unjust. Then we betrayed Guo Ning. Now we rebel again. What do the heroes of the Central Plains think of us? Li Yue is a tiger and wolf. He rebelled on the mountain and my brother stood still. What do you want?"
p>
Liang Xiao was struck by every word. After betraying so many times, who would dare to use him in the future? Liang Xiao knew very well what kind of virtue the Zheng family had. These days, there are evil wolves everywhere who eat people without spitting out their bones.
"People like Yu Mo Dao, Yan Song, and Zhao Bang are definitely no match for Black Cloud Mountain, and no, neither are the Zheng family!" Liang Xiao came to his senses.
Zheng Sheng's behavior on the mountain has long fallen into everyone's eyes.
If the children of the Zheng family are all this kind of thing, I am afraid that none of the bones and dregs left will be eaten by Black Cloud Mountain in the future.
"Quickly gather the troops and follow me to suppress the rebellion." The secret message in his hand was torn into pieces.
So far, Li Yue, whom Liang Xiao is most afraid of, has not shown up yet, which makes him feel like a light is hanging on his back.
Chapter completed!
