Zhao Boyue, the guard of Dajian Mountain, stared at the dense mountain forest and was startled in his heart. He hurriedly said to the soldiers behind him: "Quickly send people to guard the trail up the mountain. Don't let them bypass Dajian Mountain from the trail!"
"Yes, General." The soldier received the order, turned around and waved, leading more than a hundred guards to the mountain path.
Zhao Boyue's pinched fingers made a squeaking sound, and he looked at the sky with his eyes, which were old and sharp. He had been guarding the Denjian Pavilion for decades, and he knew every plant and tree in the mountain like the back of his hand.
"General, our Dajian Mountain is in the middle of the Yizhou plank road. If we burn the plank road forward, Jiangzuo's army will not be able to fly over even if it has wings." Deputy General Zhao Dahu said, "Let's close the camp gate here.
"If we stay behind closed doors and don't fight, when winter comes, Jiang Zuo's army will definitely be freezing to death."
Zhao Boyue looked solemn and turned around and said: "That being said, Xiaojian Mountain is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was also broken by Jiang Zuo's army. We have to be more cautious. There are mountains and forests in Dajian Mountain.
You still have to be careful on the trail. Big Tiger, are you bringing food and grass?"
Zhao Dahu replied: "The grain officer has delivered ten large carts of grain and grass yesterday. With today being more than a month, we should be able to get them all in two days."
"The matter of food and grass is a big deal. If Jiang Zuo's army attacks this trail, burns down the plank road in the back mountain, and cuts off our retreat and supplies, we will have to rely on food and grass to defend this camp." Zhao Boyue thought to himself.
Hu Hu said, "Let the grain officers hurry up and collect grain. I estimate that Jiang Zuo's army will launch an offensive on Dajian Mountain at the latest the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, General." Zhao Dahu bowed his hands, exited the camp and rushed towards the grain officer.
Zhao Dahu snorted a few times as he walked: "Hmph, don't blame the world for saying that the older this person gets, the less courageous he becomes. But just a few thousand cavalrymen in Jiangzuo scared him like this, and they still had to prepare more than half a year's worth of food and grass."
I am the general, so I will close the city gate and shoot thousands of arrows at him. No matter what kind of army he is, he will become a hedgehog!"
With this thought in mind, he arrived at the grain officer's tent.
When the grain officer saw that he was a deputy general, he thought he was here to urge Zhao Boyue for grain and fodder. He said impatiently: "The grain and fodder will be ready the day after tomorrow at the latest. Please don't worry, general."
Zhao Dahu raised his eyes and looked at the warehouse full of military rations, sniffed and smelled the food, nodded and said: "Okay, as long as everything is fine, I will go back and report it to the general. Anyway, hurry up and prepare the military rations!"
The grain officer hurriedly nodded in agreement and said: "The soldiers and horses will go ahead with the grain and grass before they move. Naturally, the subordinates will not dare to neglect such a major military matter."
"Okay, I'll leave if nothing happens. I'll go see how the ditch at the entrance of the village is being dug."
Since Zhao Boyue ordered Dajian Mountain to organize the army to prepare for war, the Dajian Mountain camp has been newly reinforced. The barrier horses and trenches in front of the camp gate have been expanded to three levels, and three pillars have been added to the top of the gate.
, the atmosphere in the entire military camp was both tense and serious. After all, Xiaojian Mountain was lost in an instant, which put a lot of pressure on the defenders of Dajian Mountain.
"Xiaojian Mountain is the first pass of our national defense pass. It was breached without a sound. How many troops did Jiangzuo mobilize?"
"Perhaps there is a traitor in Xiaojian Mountain. Otherwise, how could it be breached so easily?"
"I don't think so. The guard of Xiaojian Mountain, Wang Di, is a noble son. Maybe he came in rashly?"
"Yes, our general is General Zhao. If Jiang Zuo wants to break through our Dajian Mountain, they have to see if their teeth are strong enough!"
The soldiers in the military camp were talking all over the place.
※※※
The weather is dry and the hot sun hangs in the sky, baking the mountains and forests as hot as a steamer.
Under the leadership of the old man, Wen Zheng could already see the Dajian Mountain Walled City from a distance. He looked towards the walled city, his throat moved, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Old man, this mountain road can lead to Dajian Mountain.
Mountain?"
The old man said in a trembling voice: "Back to your Majesty, this mountain road cannot lead directly to Dajian Mountain, but it can bypass Dajian Mountain and lead directly to Dengjian Pavilion."
Directly connected to Dengjian Pavilion!
Wen Zheng rolled his eyes and thought: If we bypass Dajian Mountain on this mountain road, and then set fire to the plank road from Dajian Mountain to Dengjian Pavilion, besiege Dajian Mountain, and directly attack Dengjian Pavilion, we will kill two birds with one stone.
Entering Seongcheon Castle is not just around the corner!
With this thought in mind, he asked the old man about the mountain road, and then ordered to the followers behind him: "Remove your armor, lead a group of troops lightly and return the same way, tell your elder brother about the mountain road, and let them bypass Dajian Mountain."
, let’s burn the plank road and attack Dengjian Pavilion directly. Tell my brother that I’m going to investigate the situation first. If anything happens, I will launch cloud thunder bombs.”
"yes!"
The entourage took off their armor and quickly rushed to Xiaojian Mountain along the original road with a hundred elite cavalry, while the remaining three hundred people continued to follow Wen Zheng along the mountain road.
Wen Zheng's group traveled for half an hour, and the group returning to report the news also traveled for half an hour.
In just half an hour, the two groups of people in Jiangzuo encountered changes.
Wen Zheng's men met more than a hundred of Zhao Boyue's soldiers, while those who went back to report the news met Yan Zhuo's men who were chasing them.
The battle begins immediately!
This group of Jingkou guards had removed their heavy armor and were all wearing light clothing. Although they could still rely on their fast horses to launch a charge, this group of martial arts disciples were so good at lightness that they could easily dodge the charge of the cavalry with a single leap.
"Kill the horse, stop the horse on the road, and stop this group of people."
As Yan Zhuo spoke, he took out five flying swallow darts and fired them out. Mu Yunfeng, Qiao Zhenyue and others also used their inner strength. In an instant, more than ten horses fell on the mountain road.
When the leader of the Jingkou guards saw that he missed a single hit and saw that his retreat was blocked by horse corpses, he said angrily: "Who are you, who dare to block the troops of Jiangzuo Beifu soldiers?"
When Yan Zhuo heard that they were soldiers from the Beifu, he snorted coldly and said: "Why, you also know that we are soldiers from the Beifu in Jiangzuo, so what do you want to do in this Hou Han territory?"
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my business!"
Yan Zhuo cursed secretly in his heart: I am the son of your former general Yan Guyuan, and you guys were originally my father's subordinates.
But after all, he could only think about it in his heart, and he could only say: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that there are only two ways before you now, one is to dismount and surrender, the other is that I will beat you until you dismount."
surrender!"
"What a loud tone. Take my shot first." The leader came over with a gun in hand.
The spear is fast, the horse is fast, and the cold light is like a star, piercing Yan Zhuo's heart.
Yan Zhuo smiled and shook the flying swallow dart in his hand. The flying dart crossed the tip of the spear and sparked for a moment. The spark was not extinguished and the blood spray started again.
The sparks are bright and the blood is bright.
Among the sparks and blood flowers, a spear fell to the ground.
The gun is fast, the horse is fast, blood splashes on the ground fast, and people die fast!
Yan Zhuo killed the young leader of the Jingkou Guards with one strike and shouted sternly: "Your leader is dead, why don't you dismount and surrender!"
His voice was stern, but the group of Jingkou guards were unmoved. They slapped their horses with their swords and galloped towards Yan Zhuo and the others!
