Chapter 371: Xue Rengui shows his power

When Li Hao and Xue Rengui brought two thousand cavalry to Fenghua Valley, Li Hao found that Wuyanggang, which was originally a little lively, was no longer idle at this moment, and only a few guards were guarding him. When they saw them coming, a guard ran away, obviously going to report the news.

Li Hao knew that they were the posts where Hou Junjibu was here, but there was no way. If you want to rush for the fastest assistance, you must pass through Fenghua Valley, otherwise you would have to go around the mountain road of more than 70 miles.

Li Hao and the others came to Wuyanggang and stopped before refusing the Spurs. After refusing the Spurs, there were only eight guards, and there was obvious fear in their eyes. Li Hao stepped forward and asked coldly: "Who are you under?"

A guard wearing armor stuttered: "I...we are Jinwu Guards, the emperor is hunting here, we are ordered to close the mountain, you...who are you! Leave quickly!"

"Are you Jinwu Guard?" Li Hao grinned, "If you were Jinwu Guard, wouldn't you know me?"

The guard felt even more worried when he heard this, and said, "Who are you...you!"

Li Hao gave Xue Rengui a look: "Brother Xue! Tell him who I am!"

Xue Rengui held the Fangtian painting halberd in his hand, pointed at the guard, and said loudly: "Hold up your dog's ears and listen. The person in front of you is the emperor's imperial decree, the chief minister of the scientific research temple, the general Zhongwu, the honorary cavalry lieutenant, and the Marquis of Lantian County Li Hao and Li Shikuang!"

All the eight guards were shocked when they heard this. They were all soldiers, so naturally they had heard of Li Hao's name. The name Li Hao may not be very loud in the court, but in the army, it was like a god of war, because Li Hao had created too many miracles in war, and he was invincible in every battle, and he had never been defeated. If it were normal, they would definitely be excited by seeing Li Hao, but they were Hou Junji's subordinates. They were doing major rebellion at this moment. How could they not be afraid when they suddenly saw Li Hao bringing troops?

Li Hao glanced at the eight of them coldly, and suddenly raised his hand and said, "Come on, take these eight people!"

Immediately, more than a dozen Xuanjia troops stepped forward to surround the eight people and were about to take action. The eight guards confronted each other with guns. The guard wearing armor was still panicked and shouted: "Li Hao, do you want to rebel?"

"You are the ones who rebel." Li Hao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Can you pretend to be a Jinwu Guard? Do you think this marquis are blind? I often go to and from Taiji Palace when I was there. The Jinwu Guard General Li Yuanzhong and I have a close relationship with this marquis. I have never seen any Jinwu Guard dressed as shabby as you!"

When the four of them heard this, they looked at their equipment. It was indeed a bit shabby. Only the person who spoke was wearing armor and dull old armor. Although the rest were wearing military uniforms, they were all old and washed to the point of changing color.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the grass beside him: "Shima! Rescue! Go and save Jia!" As he spoke, a figure covered in blood crawled out of the grass.

Seeing this, Li Hao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Go and help that person over!"

A Xuanjia Army rushed over and helped the blood-covered man over. Li Hao and Xue Rengui had already dismounted and met him. When they got closer, Li Hao and Xue Rengui exclaimed at the same time: "Li Yuanzhong!"

That's right, the person in front of him was Li Yuanzhong, the general of Jinwu Guard. Li Yuanzhong struggled to break through the siege last night, but Hou Junji had expected that he had sent troops to stop him. Fortunately, Li Yuanzhong was very skilled in martial arts and outnumbered. More than a dozen Jinwu Guards were killed. However, the dozen Jinwu Guards dragged hundreds of rebels to cover Li Yuanzhong to escape down the mountain. The rebels could not catch up and could only shoot arrows. Li Yuanzhong was hit by three arrows. Fortunately, they were not even hit the key point and forced to stand here at Wuyanggang. However, they found that there were rebels guards who could not pass the post and could only hide in the grass. Due to excessive blood loss after being injured, Li Yuanzhong was very weak and fell asleep. He was awakened by Li Hao's voice just now, and then he climbed out of the grass excitedly.

"It's me! Shimakuai, it's me!" Li Yuanzhong was so excited that he burst into tears and shouted, "Go and save the emperor quickly. The emperor was besieged by them on the top of the mountain. We were not strong enough troops and could not hold on anymore. The emperor was also hit by a poisonous arrow..."

"What!" Li Hao was shocked when he heard this and said in a lost voice, "Your Majesty was poisoned? What's the situation?"

Li Yuanzhong said incredibly weakly: "The Imperial Doctor said that Your Majesty has no worries about life for the time being, but he will not be awake for a while, but Jinwu Guard and Yulin Guard can't hold on for long, and Hou Junji has too many people..."

Li Hao hurriedly asked: "How many people do they have?"

Li Yuanzhong said: "There are more than 10,000 people left. Now there are less than 3,000 Jinwu Guards and Yulin Guards!"

Li Hao frowned when he heard this and asked again: "Do you know where their camp is located?"

Li Yuanzhong pointed at Shaohua Mountain from afar and said, "It's on the Baizhangping on the hillside."

"Okay, I understand." Li Hao turned his head and said, "Military doctor, come and treat General Li, leave twenty people here to guard the people waiting for the King of Jin."

He then turned around and asked Xue Rengui: "Rengui, how do you think we should save the car?"

Xue Rengui pondered and said, "Marty, the rebels' forces are far superior to us, and they are condescending, so it is not suitable to attack hard. We should deal with them, disperse their forces, and first drag them down to ensure the safety of the emperor. When His Highness of Jin arrives and attacks in one fell swoop, we will have a chance of victory."

"Yes." Li Hao nodded after hearing this, "Yes, it should be true, so how should we deploy it?"

Xue Rengui said: "Split the troops and attack them, and you will leave as soon as you stick. Don't fight. If Hou Junji doesn't plan to pay attention and is ready to attack the top of the mountain, then we will be in vain and solid. Gather troops to attack his camp and surround Wei to save Zhao. If possible, I would like to lead a thousand troops to attack from the back of the enemy. If you are not surprised, you will first promote your reputation. The Marquis passes through Fenghua Valley to the mountainside and attracts his troops from the front. However, the Marquis must be careful. It seems that there are guards to inform him. Hou Junji may set up an ambush along the way."

Li Hao looked at Xue Rengui in surprise and asked, "Is there a small path here?"

"Yes." Xue Rengui said, "I have brought the special forces to Shaohua Mountain for jungle field training, so I know the terrain here very well. From Wuyanggang, I will pass a swamp north of it, called Ziyuanze. As long as I pass through this swamp, I can see the path leading to the hillside."

Li Hao frowned and asked, "Then how do you pass through the swamp?"

Xue Rengui said: "I have my own way to do this. Time is tight now, so please make a decision quickly."

Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, you will lead a thousand troops and cross the swamp and take a small path to the enemy. I will harass you head-on, and you will raid behind you!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui was excited to accept the order. After waiting for so many years, he finally could go to the battlefield. Although it was not as good as killing foreign tribes in foreign countries, it was also very exciting to defend the emperor.

Li Hao and Xue Rengui immediately took action separately. Xue Rengui headed northward and headed towards Ziyuanze, while Li Hao continued to move northwest along the official road.

In the afternoon, Li Hao had already started to lead his troops up the mountain, and was very careful along the way to prevent ambushing. As expected, less than twenty minutes after climbing the mountain, dense rain of arrows flew from the woods ahead. Fortunately, Li Hao found it early and shouted: "There is ambush!"

All the Xuanjia Army hurried forward, raised tall iron shields, built shield walls in front, and blocked the first wave of arrow rain. Li Hao looked at the terrain. They were on the rugged mountain road, and the enemy was not only condescending, but also in the dense forest. They could not fight back. So he ordered the Xuanjia Army to advance quickly and rush into the forest to kill the enemy ambush troops.

The Xuanjia Army rushed up with its shields and the rain of arrows was rushing up, and then there were endless screams in the forest, and the rain of arrows also stopped.

"Quick! Go for reinforcements!" Li Hao shouted, and a thousand elite soldiers hurried up to reinforcements. He saw about a thousand rebels in the forest, but at this moment, they had been killed by the Xuanjia Army and fled everywhere. They were no match for the Xuanjia Army. They chased for seven or eight miles, leaving behind corpses on the ground, and in the end only nearly a hundred people escaped.

Li Hao immediately ordered that before the fleeing rebels could go back to report the news, they quickly went up the mountain. So they went up the mountain along the rugged mountain road and soon arrived at the mountainside. They saw that the space on the mountainside was very large and quite open. There was a mountain road leading to a huge stave of hundreds of feet in radius. The stave was a shortcut to the mountain. No wonder Hou Jun set up the tent there.

Looking at Hou Junji's tent from afar, Li Hao blew an iron whistle. The whistle of the dripping filter echoed in the valley and spread far away. Not long after, he saw a flag popping out of the woods in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. After shaking a few times, Li Hao knew that Xue Rengui had arrived.

Li Hao was about to send troops to harass Hou Junji's camp, but he saw three thousand rebels rushing out of the camp and rushing towards them.

Li Hao quickly checked the surrounding terrain. The mountain road entrance was only more than one meter wide, which was a natural danger. If they dared to attack, they would be looking for death. They immediately sent two hundred Xuanjia troops to guard the mountain road entrance.

The rebels rushed to the middle and stopped on the mountain road. Sure enough, Hou Junji was not a reckless man and did not dare to let them rush over.

The two sides confronted each other, and no one moved forward. Li Hao narrowed his eyes and pondered: "It seems that Hou Junji is planning to use this group of people to block me. It's okay, their troops are limited, and there are three thousand people missing. Let's see how he will attack the mountain."

Li Hao was just consuming with the rebels. As long as they did not attack the mountain, Li Shimin would be safe. When Li Zhi came with another two thousand elite troops, he would have a greater chance of winning. Li Chengqian's rebellion was in a hurry, so he should fight quickly. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it would be for him. So Li Hao was not in a hurry, because he knew that Li Chengqian and Hou Junji were even more anxious than him.

Hou Junji was indeed very anxious, and was almost anxious at this moment. When he heard that Li Hao led his troops to serve the king, he knew that his plan to rebel this time was not even 30% chance of winning, and he had to take the mountain as soon as possible and kill Li Shimin.

So Hou Junji issued a quick order, and the nine thousand troops attacked the mountain in three directions. Hou Junji personally came to command in front of the battle and must rush up the mountain. So, shouts of killing suddenly erupted on the mountain, and the rebels attacked the mountain again.

Just as the rebels were victorious in succession and were about to attack the mountain, a sudden messenger came to report that the tent in the rear was attacked and the prince was in danger.

Hou Junji was shocked and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops and return to the camp to save the prince. He thought that Li Hao was coming to attack him. When he arrived at the camp, he found that a young general holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji was leading his army to rush to the camp and setting fires everywhere. Most of the 1,000 defenders in the camp were killed. Li Chengqian fled in a hurry under the protection of the remaining troops.

When the general who sent Fang Tian's painting halberd saw Hou Junji return, he immediately ordered to withdraw his troops and penetrated into the forest. Hou Junji was so angry that he cursed at the forest: "Who is the rat? I have a kind of rat to report it to you!"
