Chapter 868 The mountain road is blocked by heavy snow
It was dark, and we had no idea how many people were attacking the camp, but from the noise, they must be indispensable. Fearing that the camp would fall and Tie Mo be in danger, Qian Min and Ding Luyan immediately led 4,000 cavalry back to the camp in the north of the city. It was just that they
As soon as they left, the hooves of the horses rumbled, and they were quickly discovered by the bandit soldiers. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zicheng directly ordered the south city gate to be opened, and all the troops and horses retreated to Funiu Mountain. As for Ni Kui's troops who were attacking the camp in the north of the city, they could only
I'm sorry, because from the beginning, they were a group of outcasts. If they don't die, the army of nearly 50,000 rogue bandits in Yiyang City will die.
Facing Ni Kui's thousands of soldiers and horses, the pressure was not great. As soon as Ding Luyan and Qian Min's cavalry arrived, they raided from behind and killed all Ni Kui's troops. In the end, Ni Kui
He also died under the gun of Chen Yaofeng.
When Ding Luyan and Qian Min appeared at the camp in the north of the city, Hai Lanzhu pursed his lips and smiled, but Xu Meiling didn't see anything. He pulled Hai Lanzhu over and asked with a deep brow, "Why were you laughing just now?
But something happened?"
"So that my sister will know that we General Ding and General Qian have fallen into someone else's trap. If my prediction is correct, Yiyang should be an empty city now! What do you think, do you have the guts to follow your sister to the city to see it?
See the scenery?”
"Shut up, who's sister are you?" Xu Meiling hated Hai Lanzhu's condescending look the most. Although her face was unhappy, she still wrapped herself in a cloak and walked towards Yiyang City with a knife in hand.
Hai Lanzhu didn't take it seriously and ordered Ruifeng Camp to follow him closely. The two iron ladies wandered to Yiyang City. At this time, Ding Luyan also knew that he had been tricked by the bandits. If the bandits really wanted to
To break through the Beida Camp, it is impossible to send thousands of people. Even if they are full, there are not enough 5,000 people. Is it possible to break through the Beida Camp at this time? Ding Luyan is a little blushing. He is also a veteran who has led troops for decades, but
He was treated like a monkey by the thieves.
When he came to Tie Mo, Ding Luyan cupped his hands and said, "The supervisors are all incompetent generals. They rushed to help without thinking carefully and let the bandits go for nothing."
Ding Luyan was very concerned, but Tie Mo didn't take it seriously. So what if Li Zicheng escaped to Funiu Mountain? If Shang Kexi could capture Shunyang before Li Zicheng returned to Xichuan, Li Zicheng could only lead tens of thousands of his troops.
Ma was hiding in the mountains like a savage. Moreover, Ding Luyan and Qian Min came in a hurry because they didn't know the truth and were afraid that something might happen to someone they knew.
With a faint smile, he stretched out his hand to support Ding Luyan, who was bowing, "General Ding, don't blame yourself. It's dark and the situation is unclear. It's better to be more cautious. Li Zicheng, on the other hand, is really ruthless. He used thousands of troops as his troops."
Suicide Squad, haha.”
"Director Xie expressed his relief. Most of Li Zicheng's departure will be through Funiu Mountain. Please allow me to lead my troops to pursue him." After Ding Luyan said this, Qian Min also stepped forward and said, "My general is also willing to accompany General Ding to return the mission."
I hope the governor will agree."
It's okay to let Ding Luyan and Qian Min chase him down. They were the ones who let Li Zicheng escape. They must have been very angry at this moment. If they pursue them from behind, they might be able to work wonders. "Two generals
Since you are so sincere, wouldn't you be a fool if I didn't agree? It's not impossible for you two to go, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Supervisor, please speak!"
"You can only bite the traitors, never force them. As long as you can hold the traitors for three days, the two generals should be credited with the first achievement!"
"Don't worry, Supervisor, we promise, let alone three days, even ten days we will hold off the bandits!" Although I don't know why Tie Mo didn't rush to attack the bandits, there must be a deep meaning in it.
Funiu Mountain is located to the south of Yiyang City, with Luanchuan City in the middle. Unfortunately, due to the bandits that have been rampant in Dengzhou for a long time, the Luanchuan City Market has been raided, resulting in the city being in dilapidated condition, and all the people in the city who had some means of escape have also left.
Elsewhere, Luanchuan had no protective capabilities, so Li Zicheng did not stop at Luanchuan at all, but directly crossed Luanchuan and arrived at Funiu Mountain in the south.
Funiu Mountain is named because it looks like a lying cow. The mountain runs east to west, stretching for more than 400 miles from east to west, and more than 80 miles from north to south. Such a large mountain range can be regarded as the favorite place for bandits. There is a mountain in the southwest of Luanchuan County.
On the top of Funiu Mountain, named Jijiajiaojian, a huge stone stands on the top of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a rooster that has been bending its neck and singing loudly.
It is now the twelfth lunar month, and the cold wind on Funiu Mountain is raging, blowing on the face like a knife. The terrain at the tip of the chicken is steep, and the road is slippery. The soldiers have difficulty walking. Many people slip under their feet and hit their foreheads on the stone surface.
His head was broken and bleeding. Today's Funiu Mountain is not that of later generations. At that time, Funiu Mountain was a scenic spot in the Central Plains and suitable for sightseeing. But today, Funiu Mountain is surrounded by vast forests and has a harsh climate, and no one wants to stay for a long time.
Hundreds of miles away from Funiu Mountain, Laojun Mountain is really suitable for living, because there is a Laojun Temple there. Since Shangguanwen ravaged Funiu Mountain, he occupied Laojun Mountain. The Taoist priests in the mountain escaped, and those who did not escape were also captured.
Kill for the wild wolves in the mountains. We were walking west from Jijiajiaojian to Laojun Mountain. It was already evening, and it got dark early in winter. It was supposed that he should stop and set up camp to rest, but Li Zicheng did not do that and sat on the flat stone.
After resting for a while, he led the people to the west again.
In the winter, the wind was biting, but Li Zicheng was sweating profusely while walking. This was Funiu Mountain, and the horses had long been killed and thrown at the foot of the mountain.
There is a vast primeval jungle within a radius of thirty miles around Laojun Mountain. Liu Fangdi once accompanied Shangguanwen, Fengtai and others to stationed in Funiuha for a period of time. They can be called the local snakes of Funiu Mountain.
I still have a heart of awe in the primitive jungle. In the mountain forest, it is cold and humid, and the chill is overwhelming. Under the night, it is like being in hell. The cold wind passes by, and there are waves of whimpering sounds, as if there are
A group of old women were crying.
Li Zicheng was leaning on a tree and panting. He had traveled by horse most of the time. He had never walked across the mountains on two feet. So Li Zicheng was very tired and rested. Unknowingly, he lowered his head and dozed off. Suddenly there was a gust of cold wind.
Attacked, Li Zicheng couldn't help but shudder, then raised his head with a look of horror on his face, holding the machete in front of his chest, his eyes wide open, full of fear, looking around, and after a long time, he sighed.
Li Zicheng didn't dare to tell others that he was scared, he was really too scared. What he was afraid of was not the Northern Shanxi Army who wanted his life. It didn't matter how powerful the Northern Shanxi Army was. The worst he could do was give them his life. He Li Zicheng
After enjoying it for so many years, even death is enough.
But there are other things to be afraid of. Li Zicheng has never believed in gods, let alone hell. If there were gods, Li Zicheng would have died long ago and would not be alive until now. But just now, he had a dream. In his dream,
I saw many people, old and young, mostly women. Their clothes were in rags, their faces were stained with blood, and some had swollen bodies, as if they had been boiled in hot water.
What frightened Li Zicheng the most was that there was an eleven-year-old girl with two braids blinking. She was naked and covered with a layer of burnt scars.
Somehow, when I saw this in my dream, I felt more scared than death. Could it be that after he died, he would go to hell and never be reincarnated again?
Li Zicheng stood under the tree in a daze, with a slight chill on his face. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and a wry smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face. It was snowing, and the snowflakes were so big. The road ahead was long, and heavy snow was falling, which was a good thing.
Or a bad thing?
The snow was particularly heavy at the end of the eighth year of Chongzhen. Regardless of whether others liked it or not, at least Qian Min and Ding Luyan did not like it, because the snow completely cut off the possibility of them moving forward. The terrain at Jijiaojian was dangerous and snow-covered.
When they were in the mountains, they still let the soldiers march, which was irresponsible to the brothers. Feeling the coolness on his face, Qian Min pulled out his sword and looked at the rocks in front of him as if to vent his anger, "Damn, God really doesn't have eyes.
, but it’s snowing at this time.”
Ding Luyan was very calm. He had been working in Luoyang for a long time and he knew a little bit about the situation in Funiu Mountain. There were many hills in Funiu Mountain and the terrain was extremely complex. Even if Li Zicheng was a local snake here, he would not be able to cross Funiu Mountain easily.
Yes, he patted Qian Min on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "General Qian, don't be anxious. With such heavy snow, we can't go up the mountain, and the bandits can't go down the mountain. Have you heard that the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and going down the mountain is worse than going up."
Disaster."
What Ding Luyan said was absolutely correct. The situation faced by Li Zicheng was much more difficult than that of the Northern Shanxi Army. Fortunately, it was not far from Laojun Mountain. We arrived at Laojun Temple during the heavy snowfall of Haishi. However, with so many people on the mountain, it was only
There is no room for one Laojun temple, so most of the rebels are freezing outside. Although the Taoist priests in Laojun temple were killed and driven out by Shangguan Wen, some buildings in the temple are still preserved. At that time, Du Fuchong also returned
I once wondered about it, but later Shangguan Wencai said that he was afraid of offending the gods and did not dare to destroy the temple buildings.
It sounds ridiculous, but it was Shangguan Wen's kindness that left behind the statue of Laojun. The aloof Taishang Laojun was stroking the fly whisk and looking straight ahead with thick white eyebrows. Li Zicheng, who once didn't even look at these gods, actually
He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
Du Fuchong was stunned. He had a very strange feeling. He felt that the leader Wang had changed, which also indicated that the end of the Huaixi army was coming, because a truly strong man would never worship gods, because a strong man only believed in himself.
, because of their tyranny and cruelty, they have opened up avenues to the sky in troubled times.
Just like Tie Mo, in the predicament he was in, if it had been anyone else, he would have died ten or eight times, but he endured it and left the dark world when everyone thought he was a dandy, a coward, and a fool.
Zhuangbao went north to the grassland, fighting his way through the impossible situation. How many people can understand the humiliation Tie Mo suffered back then? But that person must have never worshiped a god. But as for King Chuang, he still has four
Brother Wan, Shunyang and Xichuan were still there, and Dengzhou might not be lost, but he began to lose confidence.
In the Laojun Temple, the cold wind was raging, snowflakes were flying, and the thieves were curled up like beggars waiting to die. In the dark night, the mountain forest was like a huge mouth, exuding a sense of desolation.
In the fourth year of Xuanhe's reign, the heavy snow lasted for a whole day and night. By the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, it could be seen that the entire Funiu Mountains were covered with snow, just like the ice fields of the North. The dense pine forests were covered with silver. The snow in the mountains was so heavy that it could reach your knees.
, Tie Mo rushed to the foot of Funiu Mountain, wrapped in a thick cloak, looked up at Funiu Mountain, and suddenly sighed. Sometimes I really have to sigh for the greatness of nature. Under this heavy snowfall, it is
So what if there are tens of thousands of troops?
Human beings have always tried to conquer the world, but who would have thought that the world has always treated humans as dolls.
It was almost impossible to climb Funiu Mountain from the tip of the chicken horn. Wrapped in a thick cloak, he exhaled and saw the white mist. In front of him was a march map, which was the detailed topography of Funiu Mountain that Ding Luyan spent four years sketching. "
Supervisor, the terrain at Jijiaojian is dangerous and extremely difficult to travel. Now that it is covered with heavy snow, going up the mountain from now on will probably cause many unnecessary casualties. From Jijiaojian to Funiu Mountain, it is best to go west and enter the boundary of Laojun Mountain before proceeding.
To the south, the general thought that the traitors were probably stationed at Laojun Mountain at this moment, so our army could enter the south of Laojun Mountain from Taiping Town. When the traitors withdrew, they would suddenly attack and catch the traitors by surprise."
"Well, how dangerous is Laojun Mountain from Taiping Town?"
"As long as you're careful, you should be fine!" Ding Luyan didn't have much research on mountain warfare, not to mention it was snowing so heavily.
Tie Mo thought for a moment and said to Hei Yunlong, "Brother Yunlong, please recruit your troops to replace General Qian and Commander Ding. Your goal is to kill the thieves as much as possible without entanglement."
"Okay!" Hei Yunlong took the order and left. Qian Min was okay, but Ding Luyan's face was a little ugly. Originally, the task of chasing the bandits was his and Qian Min's, but now it is assigned to Hei Yunlong. The supervisor is this
What's the meaning?
Tie Mo naturally had his own ideas when he went to Laojun Mountain in exchange for Hei Yunlong. The Northern Shanxi Army had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but the only ones who were really familiar with fighting in the mountains and forests were more than 2,000 people under Hei Yunlong. These two thousand people were active in the early years.
In Daliang Mountain, and later in Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain, Tie Mo and Shang Kexi managed to train these people into a mountain combat force. Until now, this troop rarely showed up, but this time it came in handy.
.
After leaving the tent, Ding Luyan complained to Qian Min, "General Qian, what did you mean by supervising the division just now? He didn't like us, so he left the matter to Hei Yunlong."
Ding Luyan didn't understand what was going on, but Qian Min did. He smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Old General, don't be angry. There is a reason why the Superintendent did this. The Old General doesn't know something. General Hei Yunlong's subordinates
There is a special force called the Mountain Special Forces. They were personally trained by the Supervisor and others. They are best at exploring the deep mountains and old forests. In the early years, they also trained in the snow of Daliang Mountain. When they were sent there, nothing was possible.
He is so talented, but he is not looking down on us, let alone us, even General Zhou and General Liu are useless."
"Mountain special forces?" Ding Luyan is a man who refuses to accept his old age. There is nothing great about mountain special forces. He wants to see with his own eyes what these people are capable of.
The heavy snow started to stop, and more than 2,000 people from Heiyunlong's command set out from Luanchuan County and arrived at Taiping Town in the northeast of Laojun Mountain. They started climbing half an hour later. On this day, Shang Kexi's command also launched a campaign against Shunyang in the south.
At the same time, Orger's troops surrendered Dengzhou City, and the army gathered to move north to support Shunyang. Together with Shang Kexi, they were in a position to capture Shunyang City.
