At this time, a wall had been built for the Zhou soldiers to break through with wood, but there were still many Tang soldiers fighting with swords. Luo Xiaoyao had a thought in his mind and looked at Lei Jiao who was about to leave, "Mr. Lei, stay..."
While Lei Jiao was stunned, Luo Xiaoyao untied Zhu Guangan's sleeping point, but also sealed his mute point, pushed him towards Xiao Muyun, then walked to the corpse of Tang Bing not far away, took out three helmets,
Put one on his head, and pass the other two to Xiao and Lin.
Reggio suddenly understood what Luo Xiaoyao meant, and walked with Luo Xiaoyao to the gate of the village with a wry smile.
"Soldiers, listen, the general has an order, abandon your weapons and surrender..."
Luo Xiaoyao's voice shouted with the sound of "Heavenly Thunder", but it drowned out the sound of fighting all over the mountains and plains. In an instant, the soldiers and guards on the city wall stopped to fight, and raised their eyes to look towards the entrance of the camp. After a few breaths, but
Hearing a "bang" sound on the wall, many Tang soldiers put down their weapons.
"There is Mr. Laurel..."
Lei Jiao glanced at Zhu Guang'an who had a complicated expression, sighed, cupped his hands to Luo Xiaoyao, and then quickly swept away towards the northern hillside.
Climbing up the stone staircase to build a wall, I saw Li Chongjin laughing and leading Elder Fu. Zhao Kuangyin came to greet him, "The three of you have performed extraordinary feats this time. Li Chongjin will definitely report to the Ming Dynasty, haha..."
After the laughter stopped, Gao Huaide came from the wall building in the north and said, "The last general led his troops to the wooden plank road...but it was already set on fire for the Tang soldiers themselves."
Luo Xiaoyao looked at the end of the wall building on the hillside to the north, and thought, "I just heard this person's tone, and it seemed that Tang soldiers would come to help...could it be through the connecting plank road?"
Li Chongjin pointed to the peaks in the north and said: "Yes, the Tang soldiers were stationed in the valleys between the peaks in the north. Walls were built on the slopes of each peak, and stacks were connected to facilitate mutual support. The same is true here.
Going around this peak and heading north for more than three miles is a wooden plank road that leads to the Tang Army Camp in the north."
"Oh?!" Luo Xiaoyao was confused, "Then why didn't the Tang soldiers send troops to help and burned the plank road?"
"I think it was because our soldiers and horses from the Zhou Dynasty often attacked this stronghold and failed to capture it. The Tang soldiers in the north felt contempt for it and thought that our army could not capture it this time... After they realized that something was wrong, it was too late.
He was also afraid that our army would attack directly from the plank road, so he set fire to it."
Li Chongjin paused for a moment and looked at the peak of the mountain to the north, "The beacon tower on the peak has lit up beacon smoke twice. The first time was when our army launched an attack, and the second time was in front of half a stick of incense.
After our army built a wall of nearly a hundred feet on the ground and knocked it down."
"I think someone brought troops to help at that time. When they discovered that the granary was on fire, the Tang soldiers were already confused. They saw General Gao leading his troops and rushed back, so they withdrew their troops and returned to the camp... and burned the plank road at the same time."
Luo Xiaoyao moved his right hand to untie the mute point of Zhu Guang'an who looked angry. He hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that this human uncle is the envoy of the military camp for the Tang army..."
"Oh?!" Li Chongjin was surprised and looked at Zhu Guang'an, "Are you Zhu Yuan's nephew? This is strange. Logically speaking, he should have sent troops to help earlier..."
Zhu Guangan glared angrily, snorted, and did not answer.
Li Chongjin thought for a moment and said: "General Gao, send troops to knock down these walls and clean up the battlefield... Mr. Luo, let's go back to the camp first and discuss this later."
…
At Chen time, in the camp where Luo Xiaoyao settled.
"As Lei Jiao said...then who could be the person who shot Elder Liu?" Elder Fu asked suspiciously.
"Is it possible that they are the enemies of Elder Liu and the others?" Lin Wan said in truth.
"I and other elders have been hiding in Tongbao Pavilion for many years and have never had any grudges with people in the world..." Elder Fu shook his head, "Besides, Elder Liu and the others have come to the army to help, and few people know about it."
"The murderer, with his mastery of pill-holding skills, hid among ordinary soldiers and shot Elder Liu and the others with arrows...not for fame or hatred, so what was his purpose?"
Lin Wanzhen paused, pondered for a moment, and looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "I should inform Mr. (Chu Nanfeng) about this matter... I think someone is targeting Tongbao Pavilion, and they are afraid that we will find out the origin, so they will do it before the rebellion."
He used arrows to commit murder."
"Ms. Lin is saying that the murderer was afraid that I would be able to discern his experience from martial arts... so he stabbed someone in the dark?"
Lin Wanzhen nodded, "Yes, if this person uses martial arts skills to kill Elder Liu and the others, my husband will definitely be able to figure out his origin..."
Luo Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel shocked when he thought about Luo Hanshui's injury, "Master once said that Zhi Kuxun went to Lingxiu Mountain Village to hurt my father in order to use his magical power to spy out the location of Lingxiu Mountain Village. Now it seems that it is not... Junior Sister Ying Ru
What they say is that someone is targeting Tongbao Pavilion."
"But since Tongbao Pavilion was established, it has been stipulated that people in the pavilion are not allowed to interfere in the Jianghu..." Elder Fu seemed to be aware of it and paused, "Young Master said that because I have interfered in the affairs of the court, I
Did you bring about this disaster?"
Luo Xiaoyao thought that Elder Fu might not know anything about the tomb array, but now he couldn't confirm his suspicions. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "There must be some people who don't want to see the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Knowing that my father is helping the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Zhou... also asked the elders in the pavilion to secretly protect the emperor, in order to bribe Zhiku and others to hurt my father and assassinate all the elders."
Elder Fu muttered: "Not many people know about Elder Liu's coming to the army. If it weren't for the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty being surrounded by a... master who even Shen Liancheng didn't know about, there would be someone in our Zhou Dynasty with evil intentions."
Luo Xiaoyao was thinking the same thing at this moment. He nodded after hearing this, "The murderer may still be hiding in the Tang Army camp in Zijin Mountain... His ultimate goal should be to be detrimental to the emperor. I have just summoned the envoy to have something to say. Three days later
Your Majesty will lead the navy south, and I will be by your side at that time."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang will definitely come with us, and we will discuss how to deal with him then." Elder Fu nodded and said, "Young Master can rest in the camp for the next two or three days... Do not act alone to avoid being targeted by the murderer.
take."
…
Three days later at Shenshi, Guo Rong led the navy south to Shouzhou. What surprised Luo Xiaoyao was that Wu Wangbo, Hua Qianxing and Zhao Yinshan also arrived together.
It turned out that as soon as the bodies of Elder Liu and the three elders were transported to Kaifeng, Manager Pei immediately asked Jianwei to send a message to Mowang Island. At that time, Wu and Hua went to the island to visit Luo Hanshui. After learning about it, they thought of Shouzhou to help Da Zhou
Zhao Yinshan had been on the island since mid-autumn last year and wanted to go with Wu and Hua.
Chu Nanfeng only wanted to fight between the two armies. Naturally, the Southern Tang army also had Dan Bao masters accompanying the army. However, he thought that Elder Liu and the others were shot by masters from the Southern Tang Dynasty. He also knew that Luo Xiaoyao and the others had also gone to Shouzhou, so he agreed.
Zhao Yinshan went together.
After listening to Li Chongjin's report on the process of conquering the Southern Tang camp, Guo Rong was very happy, "The land of Jingnan is really full of outstanding people. Not only did some people come to help me train the navy in Dazhou, but also Miss Wanzhen's clever plan helped me in Dazhou."
After defeating the enemy stronghold, I must thank King Jingnan..."
He knew that Lin Wanzhen, Luo Xiaoyao, and Xiao Muyun were not greedy for fame and fortune, but they were interested in Gao Baorong's favor.
"Then where is Zhu Guangan now?"
"He was injured by an arrow, and the minister placed him in the Shenhu Camp Guards Camp and asked people to heal his wounds." Li Chongjin responded.
"Do you have the heart to surrender?"
"This person still has the heart to refuse to accept defeat..."
"Oh!?" Guo Rong smiled and looked at the map on the desk. After looking at it carefully for a while, he stood up and said, "Take me to Purple Mountain to see..."
After inspecting the two mountain shapes in the south and west of Zijin Mountain, when he arrived at the gate of the Shenhu Camp Guard station, Guo Rong suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Kuangyin, "Zhao Aiqing, take Zhu Guang'an with you.
I and all the ministers went to the Huaihe River warship..."
Everyone didn't know what he meant, but they didn't dare to ask. Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly took the order and went to bring Zhu Guang'an in person. A group of people accompanied Guo Rong to the Huaihe River warship anchored in the northwest of Shouzhou City.
.
After boarding the second floor of the commander's warship, Guo Rong ordered the navy's warship to sail eastward for more than ten miles. When he came to the river north of Zijin Mountain, he ordered the navy to stop moving forward.
He led everyone to the deck, pointed at the Tang soldiers' camp in the valley to the north of Zijin Mountain, and looked at Zhu Guangan, "General Zhu, who is the leader of the first camp in the west?"
Zhu Guangan glanced at the valley to the north of Zijin Mountain, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's Mr. Xu Wenzhen, the envoy to the northwest to support the camp..."
"What about the second camp?"
"The military envoy Bian Hao Bian, your lord."
"The third camp is for...?"
"Master Sun Lin is the supervisor of the army. The fourth camp is for Master Zhu Yuanzhu, the supervisor of the capital. The fifth camp is for..."
"Wait a minute." Guo Rong looked at Zhu Guang'an who was ready to answer in one go and smiled. He turned to the fourth camp of Tang Bing and said, "I heard that Lord Zhu Yuanzhu is your clan uncle?"
"Exactly..."
"Four days ago, when our soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked your vanguard camp, did General Zhu send someone to send a message to his uncle Zhu Yuanzhu?"
Zhu Guangan glanced at Luo Xiaoyao and sighed, "When the soldiers reported that someone was digging a tunnel to sneak in...the defeated general would ask his uncle for help."
Guo Rong nodded, looked at the Tang soldiers stationed in Purple Mountain for a moment, and suddenly said: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land... General Zhu is both civil and military, I think he knows the meaning of the word 'king'"
What do you mean?!"
Zhu Guangan looked stunned, "The defeated general has little knowledge, how dare he speak the king's words..."
"The world thinks that the word 'king' refers to kings and emperors, but I think that the word 'king' refers to the people, for the thousands of people who hope for peace in the world now... Therefore, they have fought for peace in the world since ancient times.
The division and brigade can be called the 'king' division."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other with stern expressions.
"Here I am, the emperor and general of Li Jing. I am the one who makes the peace and aspirations of thousands of people here come true. I am the one who acts on behalf of the people. Great officials are not equal. I am the only one who can do it...General Zhu, this'
Do I deserve my word?"
Zhu Guangan looked around at the solemn-looking people on the deck, broke out in a cold sweat, and was too frightened to say anything.
Guo Rong smiled faintly and looked at Wang Huan, the commander of the navy, "Wang Aiqing, send a man who is good at watercraft to escort General Zhu by boat to the camp where Zhu Yuan, the supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, is stationed..."
Wang Huan glanced at Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin and others who were bowing their heads and said nothing, and responded with a salute: "I obey the order."
Zhu Guangan was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down on the deck with his hands on his right shoulder, "The defeated Zhu Guangan thanked His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou..." He stood up and followed Wang Huan.
Guo Rong approached the guardrail and looked at the boat carrying Zhu Guangan, but said nothing.
Everyone did not dare to say anything. They followed Guo Rong's gaze and looked at the boat that had sailed out nearly 100 meters away. At this time, they saw more than ten soldiers stationed in the Tang army camp three miles away from the river bank.
, ran towards the embankment quickly, and when they were brought to the embankment, they all drew their arrows and were ready to shoot.
After a while, thinking that the man in the boat was Zhu Guangan, the soldiers put away their bows and arrows, and saw someone jumping into the boat near the embankment, and helped Zhu Guangan, who was injured in his right shoulder, onto the embankment.
But at this moment, Guo Rong withdrew his gaze and looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "How long did it take for Junior Brother to burn down the granary after he sneaked into the tunnel?"
Luo Xiaoyao thought for a moment, "More than half an hour..."
Guo Rong nodded and said thoughtfully: "Let's not forget the Tang soldiers' carelessness, thinking that our army could not capture the Pioneer Camp and ignoring the military situation of the Beacon Tower. However, considering the nearly ten-mile wooden plank road distance from the Pioneer Camp to Zhu Yuan's garrison,
From receiving the news to mobilizing and dispatching troops...it takes one stick of incense to reach the vanguard camp, and there is still about a moment of free time."
"Zhu Yuanzi didn't know when the vanguard camp would be defeated by our army, but he knew that the military situation was urgent, so he would make two preparations and pass the beacon to Xu Wenzhen's troops who were close to the vanguard camp to rescue him first..."
"The emperor is saying that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not of the same mind, or there is a dispute between Zhu Yuan and Xu Wenzhen..." Gao Huaide said.
"If this were not the case, even if Xu Wenzhen did not send troops to rescue him, there is no chance that Zhu Yuan's soldiers and horses, who could have arrived a moment in advance before the fire burned the granary, would not have appeared... and the reason why they could not arrive was that they were connected to the Pioneer Battalion.
The plank road was destroyed by fire."
Guo Rong paused for a moment, pointed to the mountain peaks on the right side of Zhu Yuan's camp and said: "As I expected, Zhu Yuan may have a desire to surrender because of this, but military matters cannot be speculated... Gao Aiqing, there are three peaks to the south.
There are three thousand Tang soldiers?"
"It should be as the emperor expected..." Gao Huaide responded.
Guo Rong nodded, "You can send troops to pretend to attack the peaks in the south of Zijin Mountain tomorrow afternoon. Once the Tang soldiers on the peaks throw stones and shoot arrows, they can make the soldiers retreat and then attack again... to tire them out and the sky will turn dark.
, but you can return to the camp."
"I obey the decree."
"Li Aiqing..."
"Wei Chen is here." Li Chongjin bowed and said.
"Tomorrow at three o'clock tomorrow, Li Aiqing will lead 10,000 men and horses, and they can take light boats and navy boats to attack the first to fourth camps of the Tang army from here... Eight thousand men and horses of the navy will support you on the warships.
, then you should be able to kill the enemy with all your strength."
"I obey the decree."
Guo Rong looked at Zhao Kuangyin, "I just saw that there are beacon towers on the two peaks on the west side. When Gao Aiqing attacks the south side tomorrow, you can ask Junior Brother Luo and Mr. Fu to lead the Shenhu Camp Guards and sneak up to the top of the peak from the west mountain forest.
After taking the beacon tower, lead eight thousand troops to climb the mountain from the west, and divide three thousand troops to attack the defenders on the southern peak...the other five thousand troops can go directly from the peak on the right side of Zhu Yuan's camp."
Luo Xiaoyao was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yuan's camp, but saw that the slopes of the mountain on the right seemed to go straight to the river embankment. A dense forest connected to the river bank, but it was far away from the river embankment on the left and to the west.
The peaks in Liyu are different.
At the back of each camp stationed between the peaks, there is a crescent-shaped wooden plank road visible to the naked eye along the hillside. There are also beacon towers on the peaks that the plank road surrounds.
"We must arrive at three o'clock tomorrow, and guard the Shenhu camp in the middle of the wooden plank road going east to prevent the people from the east camp from hearing the sound and coming to rescue... The rest of the troops block the mountain on the right to prevent the Tang soldiers from escaping eastward. If
If Zhu Yuan is willing to surrender, he can order his troops to fight back and kill the other three camps. At that time, you can lead your troops to kill the eastern camp."
"When Gao Aiqing was in Hai, he could have 2,000 troops and horses guarding the south slope. However, when he heard that the men and horses on the top of the peak started fighting, he immediately attacked the south peaks. Zhao Aiqing's 3,000 troops on the top of the peak moved to the sixth camp to the east.
Kill wherever you are."
"Then I personally lead 3,000 troops to attack Xu Wenzhen's camp from the west... After the plank road is burned down, it will still be difficult to conquer the horizontal wall, but the main purpose is to contain its troops, making it easier for Li Aiqing to attack head-on."
"The Tang army has a total of 50,000 troops. There are 5,000 troops left in Cai's warship, which was blocked by our Zhou soldiers and horses. In addition to Zhu Guang'an's vanguard camp, which has 5,000 troops, and the south peak, which has 3,000 troops, the rest are divided into nine villages, and the first
The fourth camp is the largest, with a total of 20,000 troops... As long as the ministers capture these four camps, the rest of the camps will be defeated."
"After these four camps are captured, Wang Aiqing, you can lead the navy to sail eastward along the river to pursue the deserters. At that time, I will also lead the Cai soldiers and horses from the land to jointly pursue..."
Wang Huan, Li Chongjin, Gao Huaide, and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other and responded in unison: "I will obey the holy orders."
At three o'clock on the next day, as the sky was getting dark, Luo Xiaoyao, Xiao Muyun, and Lin Wanzhen led twenty Shenhu camp guards and sneaked in from the forest on the west and north side of Zijin Mountain. Elder Fu, Zhao Yinshan, and the two Tongbao Pavilion soldiers who came with Guo Rong
Elder, sneaking into the forest from the south to the west, you want to go to the top of the mountain and seize the beacon tower.
It turned out that Luo Xiaoyao told Jiang Qiubai, Wu and Hua what Lei Jiao said, and the three of them also concluded that the murderer's target was Guo Rong, and Wu Wangbo wanted to accompany Hua Qianxing to protect Guo Rong.
But I think if the murderer is from the Zhiku group, with Zhiku and Zhiguang's white beard fluttering appearance, he should not be able to mix with the army. At most, he is fighting for Long Congyun instead of fighting for the rebel army. Even with Long Congyun's skills,
Now it will be difficult to kill someone in secret.
What's more, Guo Rongyan asked Luo Xiaoyao to act, but he couldn't refuse, so he asked Luo Xiaoyao to seize the beacon tower. Wu Wangbo and the others did not object. Considering that Elder Fu only had a small amount of cultivation, he asked Luo Xiaoyao to
Zhao Yinshan walked with two other elders.
Luo Xiaoyao and three others led the camp guards to sneak to the northwest peak. They saw that the beacon tower was completely covered with rocks.
There is a three-foot-square hole in the higher place, but there is an iron door that opens and closes from the inside.
Except for the west direction, which is nearly ten feet away from the end of the mountain, all the trees within ten feet in the other three directions have been cut down. There are three crenels on the top in all directions, but there are soldiers with heads exposed.
Luo Xiaoyao, who was lying next to a big tree in the forest, looked at Lin Wanzhen on his left side and whispered: "Junior sister, I have a good plan..."
As he spoke, he felt a pain in his right thigh, which was secretly pinched by Xiao Muyun. Suddenly he felt that he had underestimated Xiao Muyun's wisdom, and immediately turned around with an embarrassed smile, "Junior Sister Muyun, what do you think we should do?"
"Senior brother, what do you think we should do?" Xiao Muyun asked with a half-smile.
But feeling that he hadn't seen this smile for a long time, Luo Xiaoyao's heart was filled with excitement. Looking at Xiao Muyun's beautiful face, he suddenly felt tenderness in his heart.
Lin Wanzhen, not knowing what Luo Xiaoyao was feeling, looked at Xiao Muyun through the gap between his chest and the big tree, "I waited on the boat to see that there were beacon towers on the peaks to the left and right of every camp, so close.
It's not far away, but I think they not only have fire lettuce, but also bang drums."
"What the junior sister said is true," Xiao Muyun moved his toes and touched Luo Xiaoyao's heel, "They will also guard against a sneak attack from close by, and when the fire cannot reach them, they will use banggu to call the police."
"In this case, if there is even the slightest alarm, they will sound the banggu to alert..." Luo Xiaoyao, who came back to his senses, frowned, paused, and then sneaked under the tree two feet away to take a peek.
After looking at it for a while, he turned back and said, "It seems that this beacon tower is just a temporary construction... There is no way around. Their meals should be sent by the garrison, but if they haven't eaten yet, there should be a chance to find them."
"
"Senior brother, you mean to capture the person who brought the food and get close to him in disguise...?" Xiao Muyun said.
Luo Xiaoyao nodded, "As soon as the iron door is opened, with my junior sister's cultivation level, I can break in from the entrance of the cave in just one breath. At that time, I broke in from the top, and I could knock out the four people above with one palm...
"
Xiao Muyun shook his head and said: "The army takes action at any moment. If the person who delivers the food does not return to camp, it will be suspicious."
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned, "What should we do?"
"Then we have to rely on senior brother's magical power," Xiao Muyun said with a smile.
"Me?!" Luo Xiaoyao was stunned.
"Senior brother, now you will achieve great success, and the 'Heavenly Thunder Sound' can gather the sounds into a line..."
Luo Xiaoyao was confused secretly, and smiled, "If it wasn't for my junior sister's reminder, I would have forgotten it, but now I can only confidently use sound waves to stun them within three feet, and there is an open field of vision of ten feet.
, there are at least four people on the top of the stage looking around..."
Lin Wanzhen said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this... Except for the different helmets, the generals of the Zhou Dynasty have similar armors to those of the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Brother, if you change the helmet, you can approach them swaggeringly. When they see any doubts and ask, you can use magic skills to succeed.
?”
Luo Xiaoyao was overjoyed. They had seen Tang soldiers' helmets in the forest on the mountain road they had just come up from. "There are Tang soldiers' helmets in the forest on the mountainside. I think they were discarded by deserters when Zhu Guang'an's vanguard camp was captured. I
Go get it..."
Looking at Luo Xiaoyao's figure dashing away, Xiao and Lin looked at each other and smiled.
But as Lin Wanzhen said, after putting on the helmet, Luo Xiaoyao became more energetic and charged up the 'Heavenly Thunder Sound' skill. He walked to the beacon tower. When the soldiers watching on the crenel asked questions, he suddenly used the skill.
The soldiers' heads flashed at the entrance of the crenel, but they were nowhere to be seen.
But knowing that he was done, Luo Xiaoyao climbed to the top of the platform, sneaked in, opened the iron door, put down the ladder, leaving four Shenhu camp guards behind, and took the remaining 16 camp guards to sneak down to the next beacon tower. In half a column of incense, he reached Zhu
He captured all the four beacon towers between the peaks on the right side of Yuanying Village, then returned to the first beacon tower and asked the camp guards to send out fire signals to inform the detective horses at the foot of the mountain.
