After sending He Lin and Yuan Ma away, Chen Yaofeng and Sha Diao were assigned four thousand troops. After everything was arranged, Zhou Dingshan led his troops to escort Yuan Ma to Heishui Valley.
When Zhou Dingshan rushed to Heishui Valley, he realized that Tie Mo had also arrived at Heishui Valley. In order to ensure that the battle in Ziwu Valley was flawless, Tie Mo also rushed to Heishui Valley day and night, just not wanting to make the plan he had worked so hard to make.
Falling short of success.
Just after Si Shi, Shang Kexi came to deliver a message. Zhou Dingshan had returned with his troops. Tie Mo had been waiting for a long time, so he quickly asked Zhou Dingshan to come in and sit in the hall. After Zhou Dingshan roughly told what happened on Qiliping, he
He cupped his hands and said, "Supervisor, is there anything wrong with letting He Lin and Cao Sheng go?"
It was the first time for Zhou Dingshan to make his own decision to release He Lin and others privately, so he felt a little unsure. However, Tie Mo nodded and said with a smile, "Dingshan, you have done a good job. This is a very appropriate decision at this time."
Zhou Dingshan smiled shyly, turned around and gave some instructions. Not long after, several soldiers escorted Yuan Ma into the hall. After entering the hall, Yuan Ma raised his chin and refused to pay homage. Shang Kexi frowned.
He yelled loudly, "Bold and crazy, why don't you bow to the supervisor when you see him?"
"Hey, why do I want to worship him? You can kill or cut them all as you please, don't you dare to scare me. When I was playing this trick, you were still playing in the mud in Liaodong." Cao Sheng spoke, with dark eyes.
However, he turned around for a while and glanced around from the corners of his eyes.
Yuan Ma does look like a tough guy, but Tie Mo doesn't think so, because in Cao Sheng's eyes, what he sees is mostly hesitation and cunning, but there is no firmness at all to accept death? He curled his lips and touched his chin coldly.
He smiled and said, "Very good, you really look like a tough guy. How can I not help you? Come on, go out and behead Yuan Mala, cut off his head, and send him to Xi'an on a fast horse."
Tie Mo suddenly raised his voice and shouted coldly, making Yuan Ma tremble with fright. Four soldiers rushed forward, picked up Yuan Ma and dragged him out. However, Tie Mo and others still looked calm, as if they were killing a terrible person.
Just like a dispensable person. At this time, Yuan Ma realized that he was afraid. He originally thought that Tie Mo would ask for help from him, so he pretended to be brave and fearless. Who would have thought that this living king of hell would be so helpless?
Play the cards according to the routine. Yuan Ma is not a warrior. He is afraid of death, and he is very afraid of death. With a plop, he knelt on the ground with his legs. Yuan Ma changed his previous demeanor, kowtowed and cried as if he was smashing garlic, "
Supervisor, please spare me... I will never dare to do it again..."
Yuan Ma's reaction was not surprising at all. Tie Mo had already seen through this person. The nickname of Red-Eyed Rakshasa was very vicious, and Yuan Ma himself was a very evil person, eating people and drinking blood. He had done all sorts of bad things.
This guy looks fierce, but in fact he is most afraid of death. In the past few fights, once the situation is unfavorable, this guy is even more slippery than Wang Yan.
Tie Mo never thought about recruiting Yuan Ma to surrender. If such a treacherous and evil person followed him, what would the people in the world think? He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Yuan Ma and waved his hand and said: "Hurry and drag this person out and chop off his head."
Give it to Governor Chen and make the people of Shaanxi happy."
Yuan Ma has a notorious reputation and can be regarded as a public enemy in the hearts of the people of Shaanxi. In some ways, Yuan Ma has a louder reputation than Gao Yingxiang and Wang Ziyong.
Zhou Dingshan waved his hand to several soldiers to drag Yuan Ma down, and Yuan Ma ended his criminal life in an instant. The body and the head were sent to the line. After the body was delivered to Xi'an City, Chen Qiyu didn't even have time to process the official document, and Yuan Ma
The horse's body was taken away by the angry people and fed to the dogs. Of course, these are all things for later. At this time, Tie Mo had no intention of caring about Yuan Ma's fate. He was now focused on the next war.
We had made a plan with Wang Zuoguan before, to cut off Gao Yingxiang's supplies first, and then try to find ways to let Gao Yingxiang go to Ziwu Valley. With insufficient supplies, Gao Yingxiang's troops could not stay in Ziwu Valley for too long, so they could rely on the terrain of Ziwu Valley to
Gao Yingxiang was killed in the shortest possible time. However, one thing I missed was that Gao Yingxiang was so ruthless.
In the face of shortage of supplies, Gao Yingxiang asked his men to scrape tree bark, hunt game, and even roast the corpses of his dead companions to use as army rations. In this way, Gao Yingxiang managed to survive.
Tie Mo knew that Gao Yingxiang was holding on, but he, Tie, was not holding on. Gao Yingxiang knew about the situation in Henan Mansion, and Tie Mo also knew it. He could hold off without dividing his troops, but the court would not stop there. Once
The pressure in Henan was too great. Even with the support of Emperor Zhu Youjian, the call for division of troops would still be overwhelming.
The only way now is to let Gao Yingxiang take the initiative to attack. If Gao Yingxiang doesn't attack, he won't be able to break in. The terrain of Ziwu Valley is too favorable for the defending side.
After pondering for a long time, Tie Mo called Zhou Dingshan over and asked seriously: "Dingshan, can Cao Sheng and He Lin be trusted?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. The general will ask these two people to write a letter of surrender when they leave. As long as these two people are disobedient, we only need to give these two documents to Gao Yingxiang. With Gao Yingxiang's temperament, can we still keep them alive?
"
"Is this so? It seems that we can only give it a try. Dingshan, you send a letter to Cao Sheng and tell him that the two of them will continue to attack Qiliping. When the time comes, we will give up Qiliping. However, they will get Qiliping.
After that, what needs to be done is to lure Gao Yingxiang out and let Gao Yingxiang take the initiative to attack the Fairy Terrace."
Zhou Dingshan did not dare to neglect, and a secret letter was quickly sent to Cao Sheng. After seeing the request in his heart, Cao Sheng also had a big head and two heads. He could only discuss this matter with He Lin, "Brother He, this is terrible
What should we do? Since the last defeat, King Chuang no longer trusts us very much. How can we convince King Chuang this time... Oh, how can we convince Gao Yingxiang to attack Fairy Terrace?"
He Lin rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said with an uneasy expression: "I think this matter should not be difficult. In the current situation, as long as we capture Qiliping, Gao Yingxiang will have to attack Fairy Terrace. Qiliping was captured, but
If we don’t attack Fairy Terrace, even if Gao Yingxiang wants to do so, the leaders will not agree. Don’t forget, most people want to rush out of Ziwu Valley as soon as possible and break out of the encirclement.”
Cao Sheng thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. In short, let's take down Qiliping first. If Gao Yingxiang refuses to move, then he should contact some brothers to put pressure on Gao Yingxiang. He is not afraid that Gao Yingxiang will not attack Fairy Terrace.
After figuring things out, Cao Sheng and his two men took the initiative to attack Qiliping. How could Gao Yingxiang not agree? Two days later, Cao Sheng and his two men, of course, after untold hardships, captured Qiliping.
After Qiliping was captured, it was now Fairy Terrace's turn. It was the last bridgehead in front of Heishui Valley. How could Gao Yingxiang not attack?
Gao Yingxiang felt very complicated. He actually wanted to fight with Tie Mo. As long as the movement in Henan became louder and louder, he was not afraid that Tie Mo would not divide the troops. But once Qiliping was defeated, it would be difficult. The leaders under his command
Everyone is thinking about rushing out of Ziwu Valley. What will happen if they forcefully stop them?
If they had known better, they would not have allowed Cao Sheng and his two men to continue their attack on Qiliping, but no one knew that these two men could really capture Qiliping.
After thinking for a long time, he shouted to the soldiers outside the tent, "Send the order and order the leaders of each department to come before Xu time to discuss matters."
After giving the instructions, Gao Yingxiang called over a few detective horses, "You guys, hurry up and rush to the Fairy Terrace. You must find out the situation at the Fairy Terrace. If you have any news, report it immediately."
The meeting in the big tent was somewhat sudden. No one knew what happened. After entering the account, Gao Yingxiang was not in a hurry. Now everyone was puzzled. At about three quarters of Xu, the first wave of exploring horses had returned to Jinxian Cave.
Tan Ma entered the big tent, raised his hands and said, "Back to King Chuang, there are signs of a large number of troops mobilizing in the direction of Fairy Terrace. There are only a thousand people left in the Xiaoyuefeng stronghold, and many scarecrows were found on the periphery."
Scarecrow? Gao Yingxiang was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head. As expected of Tie Mo, he was really insidious and cunning. Were those scarecrows meant to confuse people? If he hadn't had the military report, he would have been fooled.
Now that everything has been confirmed and there is no more doubt, Gao Yingxiang took out the military report and said with a smile, "Everyone, I just got the news. After the bloody battle of the two brothers Cao Sheng and He Lin, the enemy was captured two hours ago.
Qiliping.”
"What?" Some of the generals in the tent were delighted, and some were surprised. Chaoqiliping is the southern gate of Fairy Terrace. If this gate is taken down, will Fairy Terrace be far behind? Most of the people in the tent are old fritters.
Now, he naturally understands the chain reaction caused by the emergency at Fairy Terrace. Tie Mo will definitely not let Fairy Terrace fall. If he wants to keep Fairy Terrace, he must divide his troops for rescue. In this way, there will be a chance for Heishui Valley.
What?
Liu Zongmin and Wang Zhongyang were the happiest, but the reasons for their happiness were different. Wang Zhongyang felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, while Liu Zongmin was happy because there was hope for killing Tie Mo. Since the conquest of Ziwu Valley, Qiliping was captured.
The only good news is that the depressing atmosphere has been relieved to a great extent. Everyone's morale can be used, Gao looked serious and said, "Liu Zongmin, I order you to lead five thousand soldiers and horses on the valley road to pretend to attack the Fairy Terrace. Remember, if you encounter resistance,
, then retreat, your troops only need to contain them, there is no need to fight forcefully."
Liu Zongmin quickly stood up and said loudly, "Here!"
Gao Yingxiang nodded secretly, and then said, "The rest of the people will follow Gao and lead most of the troops to attack Xiaoyuefeng. After taking Xiaoyuefeng, they will work together to attack the Fairy Terrace. From now on, all the troops must be well prepared. When tomorrow's unitary time, the whole army will rush to the Fairy Terrace.
.”
Gao Yingxiang's voice was rough, and his words were even more mellow, which could infect people's emotions. Everyone felt a lot better. They all stood up and raised their hands and said, "Well, we will definitely live up to King Chuang's trust."
Everyone swept away the gloom of the past, and their morale was greatly boosted. Everyone was high-spirited, but Lu Weiliang was the only one sitting in his room with a worried look. Tie Mo can dominate the grassland, and his military skills must be quite good. He doesn't know the importance of Qiliping.
What? Moreover, Lu Weiliang also knows a little about He Lin and Cao Sheng. Although these two people are good, they are only good. Their attack on the city is nothing more than a hard attack. If Fairy Terrace had prepared in advance, even if they had an absolute numerical advantage
, it is impossible to capture Qiliping in two days. I always feel that there is a problem, but I can't tell others. Now all the generals are counting on Xiao Yuefeng to gain some military glory from the battle and take the opportunity to rush out of Ziwu Valley. He, Lu Weiliang, has to risk it.
There is something fishy about speaking out, and there is a risk of fraud. Then shouldn’t others hate him and Lu for the rest of their lives?
The next day, in the evening, before the sun set, the more than 40,000 peasant troops who had been stationed at Jinxian Cave for more than ten days finally set off towards Xiaoyue Peak. Around the end of Haishi, Gao Yingxiang led his people to the peak.
He said that this time he would send troops to capture Xiaoyuefeng again like Wang Zhongyang. There were more than 35,000 people in total, pulling a long team and slowly climbed up the mountain road. When they arrived at the Xiaoyuefeng pass, Gao Yingxiang left behind 3,000 people.
People guarded the Xiaoyuefeng Pass before continuing to lead people through the narrow Xiaoyuefeng Pass and towards the Xiaoyuefeng above. Gao Yingxiang may not be outstanding in military strategy, but he has one advantage, that is, he is stable. No matter when, he first
What he was thinking of was the escape route, and he would never be blocked and beaten violently like Wang Zhongyang did.
At the end of the Haishi period, Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai was quiet as usual, with occasional cool breezes whistling by. The rogue soldiers besieged Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai again. This time they were more careful, but they were still discovered by secret sentries hiding in the trees.
The sound of a bull's horn "wuwuwu" sounded like a long cry of doomsday. The horns were used as an urgent warning, which was also newly developed by the Northern Shanxi Army. After the horns were blown, the sneak attack was impossible. Gao Yingxiang gave an order.
The leader led his troops and rushed into the Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai. As Gao Yingxiang expected, there were not many guards in the Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai at this time, but there were nearly 5,000 realistic scarecrows. There were too many peasant troops.
Hua Xiaorong, the current guard of Xiaoyuefeng, couldn't resist. While resisting, he withdrew to the Fairy Terrace.
After occupying Xiao Yuefeng, Gao Yingxiang let out a bitter anger. Previously, Xiao Yuefeng was defeated and a large number of soldiers were directly lost. Although Wang Zhongyang was responsible for that time, Gao Yingxiang also had to bear part of the responsibility. Now he personally leads the troops.
Conquering Xiaoyuefeng can be regarded as making up for past regrets.
Ziwu Valley has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes. In history, only a few people can break out of Ziwu Valley, and Gao Yingxiang is like a roadbreaker who breaks out of Ziwu Valley.
Xiaoyue Peak is occupied by the peasant army, and the Xiaoyue Peak Pass is also heavily guarded. It seems that the bandits have no worries, but is it really so safe?
Nothing is absolute. At this time, a group of soldiers and horses slowly climbed up from the east of the ridge. This group of soldiers and horses walked in a strict manner and very quietly, and the direction they were heading turned out to be the Xiaoyuefeng Pass.
Shang Kexi led his troops to Xiaoyuefeng Pass not to attack Xiaoyuefeng Pass. The order he received was to erect a strong barrier south of Xiaoyuefeng Pass.
In addition to the Xiaoyuefeng Pass, is there a second Yangchangkou in the Ziwu Valley? Of course there isn't one, but if it doesn't exist, why can't we create it ourselves? The army walked five miles south of the Xiaoyuefeng Pass, and Shang Kexi looked at the top of the mountain in the upper right corner.
, whispered, "That's it, put all the gunpowder bags up there and block the road here."
As he spoke, a strange sneer flashed across the corner of Shang Kexi's mouth, "Eunuch Gao Yingxiangtong, I'm sorry that you are as shrewd as a ghost, but you will have to be a bastard on this Xiaoyue Peak this time."
