As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick...
It was more than 500 miles from Laizhou to Kunyu Mountain. It only took one day and night for Yue Fei and his army to arrive at the foot of the northern mountain of Kunyu Mountain. As for food and other matters, everything was taken care of immediately.
However, it is said to be the foot of the mountain, but in fact it is still dozens of miles away from the base camp of the Kunyu Sect. This is because the Kunyu Mountains are so big, with a radius of hundreds of miles, spanning Yantai and Weihai. The main peak is Taibingding.
With an altitude of 923 meters, it is the highest peak in the eastern part of the peninsula. It towers majestically, reaching into the sky, with endless peaks, deep forests, secluded valleys, and towering ancient trees.
It can be said that you can see many small mountains at a glance, and the blue sea can be seen from the bottom of your eyes. It is not as good as Mount Tai, but better than Mount Tai.
It was evening when Yue Fei came here, but he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he hid in a forest and summoned the generals to make final tactical adjustments. Rather than sharpening his guns before the battle, it was more that he was too pressed for time.
But speaking of it, the strongest ability of this forbidden army is not to fight the enemy on the endless plains. Their most powerful skill is jungle warfare. This has a lot to do with Li Qi's training, because Li Qi often lets him go when nothing happens.
This group of military gangsters ran into the mountains to feed the mosquitoes.
It is no exaggeration to say that this forbidden army can definitely be called the king of the jungle in today's world.
At the same time that Yue Fei arrived, the sentinels he sent in front also came to pick him up. As expected by Zongze, the second master Tao Fei, Yang Zaixing and others only arrived this afternoon. It seems that they are coming back.
They took the opportunity to conduct a large-scale sweep on the way. Needless to say, tonight would be a carnival night for them, and of course, it might also be the beginning of a nightmare.
Yue Fei took out Zongze's map and compared it with the information they gathered, and then began to arrange his troops according to the map.
He originally planned to personally lead 3,000 troops to climb the cliff to attack the opponent's base camp, and then Niu Gao would lead 5,000 troops to ambush the enemy in the east. However, Niu Gao and other generals felt it was inappropriate. After all, Yue Fei was the commander-in-chief and should stay below to take charge.
The overall situation, rather than going into battle and fighting the enemy hand-to-hand.
Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Yue Fei felt that there was some truth in his heart, so he replaced Niu Gao to lead the troops to sneak attack the base camp, while he led the troops to circle to the southeast.
The attack time is set at dawn, because people are the sleepiest at this time, especially those who party all night long.
After the agreement, Yue Fei and Niu Gao separated in the woods, each marching with their troops from the east and south respectively.
After traveling for about fifty miles, Niu Gao finally reached the cliff marked on Zongze's map. Looking through the moonlight, he could see that it was at least a hundred meters high. A clear spring and waterfall flowed down from the recess in the middle.
The two sides spread outward like an eagle spreading its wings, extremely steep.
If you want to conquer the rebels, you must first conquer this natural barrier.
Although the mountain forest shrouded in darkness is not unfamiliar to this forbidden army, the terrain of this cliff is too dangerous. If Zongze hadn't told him, there would be no way to go up. Even though Yue Fei had sent people to deal with it earlier.
The road conditions were marked, but Niu Gao did not dare to risk going up there, so he sent a few experts to explore the road.
Half an hour later, the sentinels came down. One of them said: "General, there is indeed a path to go up, but it is too steep, and due to the existence of the waterfall, there is a section of the road that is slippery, so you must go
Be careful and careful, if our entire army goes up at the same time, accidents will inevitably happen and it will take too much effort."
Niu Gao said: "Then what do you think?"
The sentry detective said: "I climbed to about ten feet and found a slightly spacious place at the end of the waterfall. The road below is easier to walk. I thought we could send a few people first.
Wear the rope lock and climb to the cliff, then put down the rope, while the others go up to the wide ground at the end of the waterfall and climb up by relying on the rope."
With this climbing skill, Niu Gao still had great confidence in his soldiers. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Okay. That's it."
After making the decision, ten experts began to climb up with ropes.
After almost half an hour, I suddenly heard a few soft crackling sounds from the cliff, and saw a few faint firelights shaking in ten places on the cliff.
Niu Gao immediately made a gesture, and more than 3,000 people rushed onto this frightening cliff like a torrent in the night.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Niu Gao stood at the end of the waterfall, commanding the soldiers to climb up. Looking from a distance, under the moonlight, he could faintly see dozens of black shadows crawling on the cliff, which made people feel very scared.
But none of the soldiers on the cliff showed even a hint of timidity. On the contrary, they seemed extremely excited and hungry. Most of these three thousand soldiers had never participated in the Lanzhou Battle. After training for several years, they felt that they had nothing to lose.
Although they had no chance to display their skills, this time gave them a chance to show off their skills. Moreover, Yang Zaixing's constant yelling at the city and Yue Fei's defensive tactics really destroyed them.
"Be careful! Someone seems to be coming!"
The sentry squatting on a big tree on the cliff suddenly spoke in a low voice and hastily.
The soldiers who had already gone up grasped the rope and shook it slightly, indicating that there was information above, and then quickly dispersed to both sides, some of them hid in the grass, and some of them climbed up the trees. The speed was so fast that it was overwhelming, like darkness.
night owl in.
The black shadows on the cliff are all stuck to the cliff, and the feet can be stepped on any supporting point to save physical strength.
"belch---."
A burp of wine indicated that the people coming were no more than five meters away from here. Judging from the footsteps, there were no more than six people at most. Sure enough, under the moonlight shining through the leaves, there were a total of four people holding each other's backs.
They staggered over, each holding a wine jar in their hands.
Someone heard someone say: "Brother, the leader is really asking us to come here to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night, while they are eating and drinking inside. It's really unfair."
Another person said: "That's right, there's nothing good to stand guard here. If anyone dares to attack here, I have to call them daddy. I'm really not afraid of death. I usually feel my legs tremble when I look down."
"
Another person said: "You two can just talk less. It's not like I haven't given you a drink. Just be content."
The first person said: "Brother, you can't say that. Drinking is not enough. It would be even better if you have a beautiful woman to accompany you."
The fourth person laughed a few times and said: "Hey, the second boss attacked Laizhou this time and took back a lot of women. I wonder if we can share in it?"
The third person said: "Come on, don't think about this. Those women are all given to the leader, how can we have a share?"
"That's true. However, we just thought about it. Maybe one day they get tired of playing and give it to us."
During the conversation, they came to sit under a tree. If they raised their heads slightly, they could see a tall figure standing above them. Against the backdrop of the dark night, those bright eyes revealed a hint of chill.
He raised one hand slightly and his wrist shook slightly.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several black shadows flew out from all around like ghosts. Before the four people could react, four big hands covered their mouths. With a few chissing sounds, four sharp daggers were thrust into each other.
On the chest, the shot was clean and neat. I saw the widened eyes of the four people, looking at the faces with only one pair of clean eyes in front of them, their eyes were full of surprise, but it was a pity that the words "Daddy" were not spoken.
At this moment, I suddenly heard another depressed shout from behind: "Brother, you are so unloyal. I even go to the latrine, and I don't even wait for this -"
At this point, the man's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the black figures in front of him in horror.
The appearance of this man also scared these hungry beasts into a cold sweat.
"Come on, come on---."
The man's voice began to tremble.
Whoosh!
Before the man could shout out, a cold arrow shot directly through his throat. With a bang, the man fell straight down.
A person sitting on the tree trunk on the right raised a crossbow and signaled. Another person rushed up, looked around, and saw that no one was there, then waved to the others.
A man under the tree drew out his dagger, stood up and said, "We can't delay, we have to hurry up."
"Um."
But I saw ten people throwing themselves on the edge of the cliff, whispering below: "Brothers, hurry up."
This sound was very soft.
But then I heard that there were tape recorders installed on the cliff, one after another.
After hearing this, Niu Gao immediately urged the soldiers to climb quickly.
The black shadow on the cliff began to move again, but the speed was much faster than before.
After a while, all three thousand soldiers finally climbed up. What a surprise!
Conquering this cliff means that the balance of victory is already tilting towards them.
Niu Gao glanced at the corpses, then at the sky, and said: "It's almost dawn, everything is going according to plan."
"As commanded."
Then, the three thousand people were divided into three waves and dispersed in all directions, so that they would not be easily discovered by the enemy.
Since Tao Ding claims to be the leader of Kunyu, his base camp is naturally different from other grass bandits. Otherwise, how can he trick people into joining the religion? Deep in the forest less than five miles south of the cliff, there is a majestic
Taoist temple, this is the base camp of Taoding.
This Taoist temple already existed, and a group of Taoist priests lived in it. However, after Tao Ding came, he took the Taoist temple as his own, increased its size, and set up a defense system around the perimeter.
At this time, the lights were still bright inside, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time. But they never imagined that there were thousands of enemies crawling around.
But I saw some sparse sentinels behind the Taoist temple leaning under the trees and sleeping soundly. They were snoring loudly and their faces were red. It was obvious that they were drunk last night. But their positions were very organized, almost
No flaws.
Niu Gao, who was hiding in the grass, saw all this and shook his head secretly. What a powerful leader and such useless subordinates.
breaking Dawn!
When the first ray of light shot out from the sea to the east, a burst of cold arrows suddenly flew out of the grass, a few muffled groans were heard, and the sentries fell asleep forever.
Niu Gao immediately led his troops to crawl forward more than ten meters and entered his own attack range. With a whoosh, a signal arrow flew out from the grass and went straight into the sky. The red light flashed, which was particularly bright in the pale sky. .
A drunken strong man behind the Taoist temple touched his breasts with one hand, held a wine jar with the other, raised his head, looked at the bright light in the sky, and murmured: "Huh? What is that? Which bird man put it here?" Fireworks!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a swishing sound. He turned around and saw a burst of "black rain" coming from mid-air.
Hoo ho ho!
Those arrows fell all around and immediately released bursts of white smoke.
The strong man finally reacted and yelled crazily: "Oh no, there is an enemy sneak attack. Go and report to the leader---"
Before he could finish shouting, three arrows penetrated his back, killing him on the spot.
Suddenly, the entire Taoist temple was filled with shouts and shouts, and the quiet scene suddenly became lively.
Many people rushed out with their pants pulled down, but what greeted them was a second hail of arrows.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After the rain of arrows fell from the sky, fire broke out everywhere, and the black smoke and white smoke intertwined and complemented each other. Scattered sparks immediately spread in all directions, and the entire Taoist temple immediately fell into a sea of fire. Only the screams of fear could be heard from inside. Of course, there were sporadic arrows shot out of the white smoke, but they all fell far away from Niugao and the others, and some even flew in the opposite direction.
The enemies have begun to attack, and we still don't know where the enemies are. This is really a sad thing.
Whoosh whoosh!
One wave followed another, and when the third rain of arrows fell, there was an immediate explosion.
Just after these three waves of arrows rained down, the enemy army was already in a panic and had to bury its head and run away. Compared with the Xixia army at the beginning, it really cannot be compared on the same table.
However, Niu Gao still did not dare to be careless, after all, the opponent had ten times more soldiers and horses than he did.
Another signal shot up into the sky.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of killing behind the Taoist temple, and thousands of people suddenly rushed out of the grass, dragging their swords like tigers descending the mountain, and attacked the Taoist temple with a rainbow of momentum. Under the command of Niu Gao, five hundred divine arrows Holding the latest crossbow equipped with a gear and trigger system, he occupied the first and second commanding heights to cover his brothers' charge.
"The enemy is behind."
I don’t know which birdman suddenly shouted such a sentence, which almost made the serious Niu Gao laugh. I have come to your house to fight, and you don’t know where I am. How can you fight in this battle?
Some people shouted: "It's the imperial guards from the capital who are here to attack us."
That day when they ambush Niu Gao, they had seen such magical arrows, but they did not expect that these magical arrows could explode.
In the smoke, I could vaguely see the rebels fleeing in all directions, some shirtless, no pants, disheveled, and barefoot. At first glance, I thought I was in a zoo.
Although their number was more than ten times greater than that of the other party, they had not received formal training after all, and what little discipline they had was shattered by the three rains of arrows.
Yue Fei is right when he says that this ragtag group can only win the battle. As long as they encounter some unexpected situation, they don't know how to deal with it.
Moreover, in the smoke, they had no idea how many troops came from the other side, and they still haven't figured out where this army came from.
On the other hand, the Imperial Guards led by Niu Gao are all like wild beasts. You must know that this bad breath has been held in their hearts for a long time. If they are not released, they will really get sick. Now they have revenge, complaints, and encounters.
He just kills people, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, an adult or a child, he kills them without any emotion on his face.
In the eyes of the enemy, the enemies that suddenly appeared in front of them were like gods of death, and they were immediately defeated.
Niu Gao held the copper mace in his hand and kept waving it as if there was no one in the desert. Suddenly he heard a person in front shout: "Hurry and cover the retreat of the leader."
When Niu Gao heard this voice, he thought it was not bad. When he took a closer look, he saw a major general about 1.9 meters tall holding a red tassel gun and picking off two people in succession. He stood out from the crowd and was particularly conspicuous. This is really an enemy who is extremely jealous when they meet.
, shouted loudly and said: "Don't leave, little Yang." He took big steps and chased after him.
Yang Zaixing also saw Niu Gao and roared angrily: "Xiao Niu'er, grandpa will kill you today."
Another person said: "General Yang, don't think about fighting, retreat quickly."
It was Tao Fei.
Yang Zaixing waved his arms in annoyance, mounted his white horse, turned around and stabbed, his spear moved extremely quickly, and three more soldiers fell under his gun. Then he shouted: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly."
I saw a group of cavalry just rushing out of the white smoke, and they were followed by a hail of arrows. This group of archers never showed up, causing great fear to the enemy. They all thought that the arrows were falling from the sky.
Come.
A muffled sound was heard, and dozens of soldiers fell off their horses.
Yang Zaixing waved his spear to deflect the arrows, pulled the reins and pointed to the east, saying: "Leader, this way."
I saw another group of people fleeing towards the east.
"Where did Yang Xiao'er run away?"
Niu Gao's face was ferocious at this time, his whole body had been dyed red, he looked like a bloody man, and he was thinking about Yang Zaixing. Tao Ding subconsciously turned around and saw a bloody man chasing him, although he knew that the other person was walking very far.
It’s hard to catch up, but it’s really shocking.
"Hurry up and stop that guy."
I saw four enemies stabbing Niugao with their spears.
Niu Gao ducked sideways, opened his left arm, and directly clamped the heads of the four incoming spears, shouting: "Wow, wow, wow!"
The four soldiers felt that the gun heads were embedded in the stone wall and could not be pulled out at all.
"Get out of my way."
Niu Gao shouted loudly and swept his mace across. With a few bang bang bangs, the four people in front of him immediately had their brains flowing. Most of the rebels were ordinary people. They had never seen such fierce men. They were so frightened that they all backed away. No one dared to
Come forward.
At this moment, a cold arrow was about to break through the air. Niu Gao didn't even look at it. He lowered his head instinctively. The arrow almost flew past his scalp and almost killed him. He couldn't help but be frightened.
Covered in cold sweat.
"Hurry and protect General Niu."
The lieutenant beside Niu Gao chopped down the enemy in front of him with a sword. Suddenly he saw that Niu Gao was almost killed and shouted.
Yang Zaixing turned around and saw that the sneak attack was unsuccessful and that he had no chance to succeed. He threw his bow to the ground in frustration, stopped struggling, and ran away down the mountain on his horse.
When Niu Gao saw Yang Zaixing running away, his eyes widened with anger. He grabbed a person and smashed the other person's head with his mace. He dragged the person's head and strode across the middle, shouting: "Niu Gao is here.
Niu Gao is here."
When the lieutenants saw that Niu Gao was going crazy, they were afraid of being attacked by someone, so they hurriedly protected the surroundings. Following such a big boss, it was really enjoyable and painful at the same time.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain falling!
These leaders ran away. The rest of them didn't dare to fight. They just ran for their lives. However, the God of Death hiding in the dark did not let them go. The arrows flying out of the sky pierced their hearts as usual.
It seems that there is only one road in front of them, and that is the road to hell. After advancing all the way, they finally tasted the cruelty of war. If they were given another chance, maybe they would not choose this road at all. It is really terrible.
.
"Surrender! We surrender."
"Grandpa Bing, please spare your life! I surrender!"
...
After a while, there were cries everywhere, and the rebels threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Because Yue Fei had long ago told him not to kill them all if the opponent abandons their weapons and surrenders. But facing several times the number of enemies, even if the opponent has surrendered, it is not an easy task to clean up the battlefield. If it weren't for the five hundred magic arrows,
With his hand threatening in the dark, Niu Gao really didn't dare to stop easily.
However, no matter what, what they faced was not the Jin soldiers or the Liao soldiers, but the people of the Song Dynasty. Niu Gao finally endured it. First, he ordered people to seize their weapons, tie them up in twos and threes, and mobilized a group of people.
Hundreds of archers led some soldiers to put out the fire.
When the smoke dissipated, the rebels were shocked to see such a small number of people on the other side. If they had been informed in advance, they probably would not have surrendered. There is no regret medicine in the world.
"General Qi, the rebel Tao brothers, Yang Zaixing and other leaders all fled to the east."
After hearing this, Niu Gao smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, they can't escape."
...
At this time, Tao Ding and others, who had already fled down the mountain, did not dare to be careless and ran all the way to the east for more than thirty miles. When they saw that there were no enemies chasing behind them, they slowed down and stopped to take a breath.
If they normally run this small distance, they would not be exhausted, but they were so frightened just now that Tao Ding and others were exhausted physically and mentally. When they looked back, they saw that there were only more than two thousand cavalry left in the tens of thousands of troops.
Months of hard work were wasted in this moment, and I couldn't help but sigh.
A small leader suddenly stepped forward, offered a pair of boots and said: "Leader, please put on your shoes first."
Tao Ding was stunned for a moment. When he looked down, he realized that his left foot was bare. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He sighed, took the boots and put them on. In fact, it wasn't just him, many people were even shirtless.
Yes, but if they had put on their clothes, they might not be able to stand here.
Tao Fei had not yet come to his senses and said, "Brother, when did the Imperial Guards in the capital become so powerful?"
Tao Ding shook his head and said, "I can't figure this out either."
Yang Zaixing asked: "Could it be that they deliberately showed weakness to us a few days ago so that we could relax our vigilance?"
Tao Ding pondered for a moment, nodded and sighed: "This forbidden army should not be underestimated!"
Tao Fei said again: "Brother, what should we do now?"
Tao Ding was very confused now. Seeing that the situation was over, he had no intention of fighting again, so he said: "As originally said, we will go to Chishan Village first, and then take a boat to Sushan Island."
Yang Zaixing was unwilling to accept it and said: "Master, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. How can you flee overseas just because of a defeat?"
Tao Ding smiled bitterly and said: "Don't be in a hurry if things get better again. This is just a temporary measure. We will definitely be back within a year."
Yang Zaixing still seemed dissatisfied, but he couldn't say much and nodded.
When they were about to have a meal, they came to a fork in the road. A soldier stepped forward and reported: "Master, there are two roads ahead that lead to Wendeng County. I don't know which one to take. Please give me instructions."
Tao Ding once garrisoned in Dengzhou and knew the surrounding terrain very well. He looked up and said: "Although the road on the left is fast, it is narrow. If the enemy sets up an ambush here, we will be in danger, so we should take the road on the right." Take the high road."
So they turned to the right and drove for more than ten miles. There was a slope not far ahead. Yang Zaixing's keen sense of smell seemed to detect something. He looked around and saw two small hills with lush trees on both sides. Open your mouth to remind the soldiers to be careful.
Suddenly, there was thunderous drumming in the forest.
"No, I fell into a trap."
Tao Ding tightened the reins and exclaimed.
The sound of killing suddenly started on the hill!
A man stood on the hillside and shouted: "Tao Thief, our General Yue knew you would choose this way to escape, and ordered us to set up an ambush here. Why don't you dismount your horses and surrender quickly?"
Then I heard a burst of rapid horse hooves from the hillside ahead, which almost covered up the sound of drums, and a thick cloud of dust rose up from the ground like a stormy wave and swept over me.
How many people are there?
Tao Ding and others were frightened. How could they dare to think of fighting, so they turned their horses and fled.
I could only hear the sound of horse hooves and shouts coming from behind.
"Tao Thief, please leave."
"Tao Thief, please leave."
ps. The nearly 7,000-word chapter will be gone tonight.
