Lan Qiao drew a map leading to Crescent Moon Bay and gave it to Feng Yeling, asking her and Yun He to lead the Langya cavalry into the mountainous area first to open a road, while she led the remaining soldiers and horses to the rear.

"If I knew that you made this arrangement because you wanted to protect my escape at the expense of yourself, I would never forgive you." Feng Yeling said truthfully before setting off.

She raised one palm, her face solemn, and her expression seemed to be swearing.

"Don't worry, I haven't had much enjoyment with you as my lovely wife, and I haven't lived enough yet."

After four days and four nights of continuous travel, Lanqiao and others were all exhausted and could hardly support themselves, while Xu Huizu's 100,000-strong army was always chasing after them.

Fortunately, this surprise team selected elites who were tough and able to endure hardships. They gritted their teeth and endured hardships, and finally reached Mingjian Mountain.

Mingjian Mountain is the last hill that needs to be climbed before entering Xianyue Bay. It is shaped like a saddle. There is a clear stream at the foot of the mountain. The sound of the water is clashing and ringing, hence the name.

Feng Yeling lined up on the mountain road to welcome the arrival of Lanqiao's army.

Along the way, Lan Qiao fought six times with Xu Huizu, who was chasing him from behind, including two battles and four minor collisions. Each time, he was overtaken by Xu Huizu's vanguard and had to fight back. After charging for a while, he found an opportunity to escape.

And retreat.

Although there were no serious casualties, the expeditionary force suffered six consecutive battles in four days and could not set up camp to rest at night. By the time they arrived at Mingjian Mountain, they were already too tired to walk.

Therefore, seeing that Lanqiao's team arrived without any danger, the Langya Army soldiers on the mountaintop all cheered for his leader.

Feng Yeling and Lan Qiao had not seen each other for four days, and her eyes were filled with burning passion. She hugged him tightly and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, husband."

Lan Qiao patted her on the back with his big hand, looked around and said, "Why don't you see Brother Yun?"

Feng Yeling rolled her eyes at him, seeming to offend him for "not understanding the style", but she didn't really blame him. She said softly: "He is building a camp in Crescent Moon Bay. He only has his concubine and a thousand soldiers left here, looking at the ground with ecstasy.

Warmly awaiting my husband."

Lan Qiao heard what she said was interesting, smiled and rubbed her head until her hair was messed up, then he stopped: "The sound of the water is very pleasant. If you have to run for your life, Mingjian Mountain can be considered a

A scenic spot.”

Feng Yeling smiled sweetly and said: "I have been there to see the waterfall and the clear pool. The waterfall is very beautiful and the spring water is sweet. My husband can go to the camp beside the pool to rest."

Lan Qiao turned back to Tieniu Dafeng and greeted his subordinates: "Did you hear that? Go to the Tanshui and take a quick bath, get some sleep quickly, and when you open your eyes, you will be a good man again.

"

Fan Niang loves cleanliness the most. When she heard that there was a clear pond not far away, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She took two steps and asked in surprise: "Won't the commander come with us?"

Gongsun Bao pushed him hard: "Go away quickly. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

Da Fengxian also said: "That's right, it's useless to just ask. Naturally, the commander-in-chief wants to find a place where no one is around to have a good time with his sister-in-law... Hey, you understand."

Feng Yeling blushed and spat: "That's a lot of nonsense. If you don't go quickly, I'll spank you!"

After the generals left singing and laughing, Lanqiao looked to the north, his eyes full of murderous intent, and said fiercely: "Xu Huizu is not a fool. When he sees us heading all the way into the mountains, he will definitely study and guess our army's destination. Wan Shi

Although not many people know about the suppression of bandits in Lake and Crescent Moon Bay, it is not an extremely secret after all. If he is willing to investigate, he will definitely be able to guess it."

Feng Yeling was startled and said, "What do you want to do, husband?"

"Hmph, he thinks we are just shy turtles who only want to burrow into the turtle shell of Crescent Moon Bay." Lan Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "But I refused to let him guess right. I wanted them to wait until they arrived here.

At Mingjian Mountain, when all the soldiers in the army just breathed a sigh of relief, they launched an ambush to let him know that I will not only run away, but also hurt when my fist hits him."

In the next two days, Lanqiao took practical actions to prove that he was not bragging.

Xu Huizu's army had just arrived and before they could gain a foothold, Lanqiao's ambush troops rushed out from both sides of the mountain road.

After a brief panic, Xu Huizu showed his extraordinary leadership and military talent, quickly gathered the rebel army, retreated to the foot of the mountain, then reorganized the army, and sent General Lan Zuwang to attack.

At the same time, he sent a group of martial arts masters to climb from the saddle-shaped walls on both sides of Mingjian Mountain to the ridge, trying to sneak attack and destroy Lanqiao's defensive positions on the mountain road.

There are as many as sixty or seventy people in this group of masters, among whom there are ten leaders, all wearing red masks. From a distance, they look like opera costumes, which makes people run cold. They either hold broadswords or long swords, and they are very aggressive when they see people.

They killed people and burned them when they saw roadblocks, horses and other objects, but no one could stop them for a while.

The forty-nine people of the British Guards led by Tang Li played a huge role at this time. These teams composed of martial arts masters surrounded various obstacles on the mountain road and attacked the invading enemy masters head-on.

He seemed a little exhausted, but he finally crushed the enemy's master group's attacks one after another.

Lan Qiao noticed that the martial arts masters wearing red masks were far superior to the rest. They seemed to have studied under Xu Huizu, and thought that in addition to training soldiers, Xu Huizu also seemed to have secretly cultivated a group of high-quality martial arts masters.

Feng Yeling's thousand Langya troops guarded the mountain road in front, taking advantage of their commanding position to attack Lan Zuwang, who was attacking from the front, with rolling logs, boulders and strong bows and crossbows.

She stood on a high platform. Under the moonlight, her clothes were flying like a fairy. The shadow bow and arrow in her hand were perfect. Every time an arrow was shot, there were always soldiers from the new army falling, which reminded Lan Zuwang of last year.

When attacking Zhuangjia Village, Feng Yeling high up on the arrow tower.

If this situation could continue, Lanqiao might be able to defend Mingjian Mountain for only three or four days. However, the wily Xu Huizu immediately sent two more troops of more than 10,000 people, one from the east and the west of Mingjian Mountain.

Side bypass.

Once these two armies are encircled to the back of the mountain, and coupled with Xu Huizu's army in front, Lanqiao will be trapped and dead on Mingjian Mountain like a turtle in an urn.

Therefore, even though he was reluctant, he still had to exit Mingjian Mountain before this happened, passed through the narrow mountain pass between Xuanshan Mountain and Langshan Mountain, entered Xianyue Bay, which he regarded as the last fortress, and met up with Yunhe.

In order to slow down Xu Huizu's pursuit as much as possible and buy themselves a longer survival time, they cut down trees while retreating. On the one hand, they created many obstacles on the mountain road so that the enemy could not catch up with them. On the other hand, it was also a kind of "solid wall and clearing the field."

", making it difficult for the enemy to obtain wood from nearby to build any heavy equipment.

"Ling'er, whether we will be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks or enjoy the glory and wealth depends on this battle." Lan Qiao and Feng Yeling waited for the army to leave, and finally withdrew from Mingjian Mountain and walked side by side on the mountain road.

.

"With my husband, I am not afraid of anything." Feng Yeling looked at the newborn Chaoyang with a smile, "I am even a little excited. After all, no matter whether I win or lose, I, Feng Yeling, will be by my husband's side in the end.
