"There is no whereabouts of Su Ren yet?" Wu Zhu was a little angry, his brows furrowed.
Zhi Cheng knelt on the ground: "No, I have sent out a large number of scouts. They searched carefully for twenty miles around Wohu Ridge, but no reinforcements were found."
"These Han people didn't go any further when they arrived at Crouching Tiger Ridge?"
"Yes, they have been camping in Crouching Ridge. Apart from training troops every day, they repair the camp and don't go out. They didn't even send any scouts for the past two days!"
Wu Zhu held his head and began to think. No one around him dared to disturb him. The Han people's abnormal actions made Wu Zhu confused. If the Han people wanted to fight with him in Crouching Ridge, no one would believe it. Wu Zhu
The number of soldiers and horses he led this time was 20,000, and the Han army in Wohu Ridge was only 2,000. In a battle like this, the Han people had little chance of winning.
Wu Zhu thought about it for a long time and signaled Zhi Cheng to get up: "I'll give you three thousand men and horses to go to Wohu Ridge. Since the Han people have no reinforcements, take this opportunity to destroy them."
The new Guolian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, think twice, the Han people have not started a war with us. If we take action in advance, the Han people will be angry. If they send more troops to come, we, Fujian and Vietnam, may not be able to resist them."
"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it neatly and no one will be able to find any clues!" Zhi Cheng dismissed it.
The Prime Minister glared at Zhi Cheng: "But Crouching Tiger Ridge is the border of our Fujian and Yue countries. No matter how secretive it is, the Han people will still blame us."
"The Han people entered our country first. Is it possible that the Han people are allowed to stay in our country?" Zhi Cheng didn't want to give in at all: "Your Majesty, you don't have to listen to what this old guy said. I will definitely handle this matter properly."
Wu Zhu listened quietly. As soon as Zhi Cheng finished speaking, the Prime Minister wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Wu Zhu's cough: "Aren't they just a few Han people! Since they are provocative, there is no reason to ignore them.
Zhi Cheng shouldn't be too harsh here, tell them to leave me, Minyue, if they don't listen, it won't be too late to do anything, remember, they must do it cleanly!"
Zhi Cheng quickly clasped his fists: "Here! I understand!"
Li Danghu stayed in Wohu Ridge for three days and did not wait for Su Ren's troops to arrive. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Before setting off, Su Ren made it clear that his two thousand troops
It is the vanguard army, and this road is also the closest to the Minyue King's City. Even if Su Ren's army moves slowly, there should be news in three days.
Li Gan rushed into the battle, grabbed a kettle and drank it hard. The young man had been running for a day, sweating all over his body, and his hair had stuck to his face. Li Danghu looked at Li Gan and said, "Drink slowly!"
Li Gan drank half the pot in one breath and took a breath: "Those Yue people are really persistent. They have lurked around our camp this time. Fortunately, we found out in time, otherwise they would have gotten in."
"how many people?"
"It's quite a lot!" Li Gan took another sip: "Brother, when will Su Changshi and his troops come? I always feel that Yue Ren's actions these days are very abnormal. Is there any problem?"
Li Danghu smiled slightly: "Did you see it too?"
Li Gan smiled: "I am also a descendant of the Li family. Although I have not been to the battlefield with my father, I still know what happens on the battlefield."
Li Danghu touched Li Gan's head lovingly. The eldest brother is his father, and Li Danghu is much older than Li Gan. He has always liked his third brother. This time he came out just to let Li Gan experience the war. As
The boys of the Li family will have to go to the battlefield sooner or later, so there is no harm in experiencing it in advance.
"Have all the scouts been sent out?"
Li Gan nodded: "We have all been sent out. We are not far from Wu Zhu's army. It will be difficult if we are discovered by them."
"Has it been discovered? Otherwise there wouldn't be so many enemy scouts coming to spy on us."
"Ah! What should we do? Su Changshi's men haven't arrived yet. If Wu Zhu sends troops, wouldn't we..."
Li Danghu looked at Li Gan: "Are you afraid? My son from the Li family has never been afraid before!"
Li Gan lowered his head. Li Danghu continued: "Our purpose is to attract Wu Zhu's attention, so that we can give Su Ziheng more time. This matter has been planned for a long time. You have never thought about why we are here in Crouching Tiger Ridge."
Have you stayed here for so long? Why did you build such a camp in Crouching Tiger Ridge? You know that this place is very close to Wu Zhu’s army, but you still want to go here? Have you never thought about these things? "
Li Gan suddenly understood and raised his head: "Su Changshi has led his troops to the Minyue King's City by now?"
Li Danghu nodded: "Do you understand now? Only Su Ziheng and I know about this matter, and it must not be leaked!"
Li Gan nodded repeatedly: "Brother, don't worry, I'm going to rearrange the manpower and guard it tightly to prevent the Vietnamese from breaking in!"
Su Ren took a sip of water. The weather was too hot. There was no shelter and the wind was blowing with heat. The large group of people started to set off early in the morning. By noon, it was too hot to walk. Heat stroke is a trivial matter.
There are more and more Yue villages in the past, and it is not easy to avoid them. If any of these Yue people run to report the news and put the royal city on guard, their plan will fail.
"Chang Shi, the general thought that he could send people to massacre all the villages he passed through, so as to ensure that no information is leaked!" Han Shuo made a suggestion.
Shi Bao nodded: "This is a way!"
Hawking slapped Shi Bao on the back of the head, pointed at Han and said, "He is crazy, are you crazy too? Those are all human beings, and they will be killed at will. You Yuanshan really don't have many good people!"
Shi Bao chuckled: "If you don't want to kill me, can you think of a way?"
"I, I don't, brother must have!"
Several people turned to look at Su Ren. Su Ren was helpless. According to his opinion, this meeting should be shirtless, but this is Vietnam. As soon as he expressed this idea, he was rejected by Huang Shisan. Not only was he fully dressed
, and also found a piece of heavy iron armor for him to put on, a helmet, and a lot of cloaks.
"You can't kill people! After wiping out the Yue land, these Yue people are our people. We can't wait until we finish the war. This place has become a wasteland. Why do you think we are fighting?"
Cui Jiuming leaned back and lay down more comfortably: "For hundreds of years, there has been little difference between the Yue people and the Han people. They are not so much Yue people as they are Han people. It is ominous to kill them."
Su Ren thought for a while: "Hawking obeys his orders!"
Hawking stood up quickly: "The end is here!"
"I order you to lead all the cavalry and a thousand infantry first. You must arrive at the Minyue King's City within three days and launch an attack immediately!" Su Ren thought for a while and then said: "Bring those things with you. If you don't open the city gate, you'll blow it up."
!”
"Here!"
Hawking's face was full of color, he made a face at Shi Bao, and happily walked out of the tent.
Cui Jiuming nodded: "This is a good method. Even if someone wants to deliver the message, it will not be faster than the cavalry. We are in a hurry now."
Su Ren said to Han again: "Captain Han, we will set off immediately. There is no need to avoid those villages. We will go straight to the royal city day and night. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy! Do you understand?"
"The last general takes command!"
The army set off and quickly rushed to Crouching Ridge, led by the Fujianese general Zhi Cheng. Zhi Cheng didn't take this attack seriously at all. In the jungle, the Han people were by no means a match for the Yue people, regardless of whether the Han people
No matter what method he uses, he can't escape their pursuit, not to mention that he has three thousand soldiers and horses this time, while the Han people only have two thousand.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhi Cheng's men and horses arrived at Wohu Ridge. The scouts came to report that the Han people in Wohu Ridge had rested and could launch an attack at any time. Zhi Cheng laughed: "God help me, these fools are looking for death and are ready to attack!"
"
Li Danghu didn't sleep. He was sitting in his big tent studying the map. Li Gan was lying on the table and snoring. He must be too young. He had a busy day and it was normal to feel sleepy. He took off his cloak and gave it to Li
Dare to cover it. Li Danghu once again focused his attention on the map. Wohu Ridge is indeed a good place. It is a large flat land on the mountain ridge. There are only two roads in front and back that can cross it. There are dense jungles on both sides.
Taking advantage of the lack of disturbance from the Yue people in the past few days, Li Danghu ordered people to cut down the trees and built a small camp in Wohu Ridge, complete with watchtowers, shooting holes and gates, as if he was in a defensive posture. If it happens again.
After a few days, when Wu Zhu had no movement, he was ready to lure him. According to the time calculation, Su Ren's army was about to arrive at the Minyue King's City. He only had to hold on for a few more days, even if Wu Zhu had great abilities.
Doesn't help matters.
"Whoosh..."
Li Gan woke up immediately: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Danghu also heard the noise outside, and a military commander rushed into the tent: "Sima, the enemy is attacking!"
"How many people are there?"
"About three thousand, all in the direction of the village gate, people have been sent to stop them!"
Li Danghu frowned: "Send an order to the entire army to be on guard, be prepared for the enemy and have backup! Once the gate of the village cannot hold it, set it on fire immediately!"
"Here!" the military commander agreed, turned around and ran out the door. Li Gan also chased after him with his sword in hand.
Outside the tent, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the fires and torches illuminated the camp. The shouts of killing came one after another, and the Yue people attacked the camp crazily. Fortunately, they were fully prepared and the camp was well built, so there was no good way for the Yue people to attack the camp for a while.
Zhi Cheng had a dark face: "What's going on? You haven't been able to break through the village gate for so long?"
The general said quickly: "The Han people are well-defended and the camp is strong. It will not be easy to capture them in a short period of time!"
"It's not easy to capture, but it must be captured. The Han troops are small, so all the troops and horses must be pressed up. The Han camp must be captured before dawn!"
"Here!" the general personally stepped forward to suppress the formation, forcing the soldiers to keep moving forward.
The halberd in Li Gan's hand suddenly stretched out from the gap in the village wall and stabbed into the belly of a Yue man. The guy fell off the wall without saying a word. More and more Yue people came.
There were crowds of people outside the village wall. Li Gan threw away his halberd and shouted loudly: "Set fire, set fire! Everyone get back!"
As soon as he lay down on the wall of the camp, a heat wave hit him immediately. The raging fire swallowed up everything. The miserable screams outside the camp made people tremble in their hearts. Li Gan took a long breath and glanced at the brothers who had escaped from death: "
Let’s go! Go to the second village wall!” (To be continued)
