Shangguan Hu has rich experience in rivers and lakes. He followed Wang Junlin and frowned as he looked at the surrounding terrain. The mountain road was very narrow, only eight feet wide. There were cliffs tens of feet high on both sides. The narrow mountain road went all the way up. This cliff path was long.
About five or six miles away, there is a narrow strip of sky above their heads. If someone ambushes in front, they will suffer heavy casualties.
Shangguan Hu wanted to speak several times, but finally held back. Wang Junlin also thought of the dangers he could think of, and even thought about them more carefully than he did. Wang Junlin's methods and abilities had already completely convinced him.
Not long after, everyone walked out of the cliff mountain road, and their eyes suddenly opened up. This was a flat land on the mountainside, covering an area of about two acres. Looking around, they saw mountains and lush forests, which made people feel like they were surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The feeling of magnificence.
"Rest in place for half an hour!"
Wang Junlin waved his hand, and Shangguan Hu and Zhan Peng arranged for people to guard and rest. As early as when Niu Jinda entered Heilangxing, he followed Wang Junlin's order and led four guards who had been scouts five miles ahead.
Serve as a scout.
The reason why Wang Junlin dared to go all the way was because Niu Jinda led people to explore the road ahead and left marks along the way to indicate a safe journey.
As for the insect demon, after experiencing the devastation caused by the injection of truth water into his veins, it was a huge blow to him. He remained silent along the way. Wang Junlin had already learned the details of the insect demon, so he naturally had other means to deal with the insect demon and was not afraid that it could escape.
, and no longer let Niu Jinda watch closely.
Everyone found a place to sit down and rest, took out water hyacinths to drink, and fed the war horses with water bags. Wang Junlin sat cross-legged in front of a flat stone, used a charcoal pen to draw a circle on the sky stone path, and then silently
Stare at the map in front of you.
He had already marked six circles on the map with a charcoal pen, which meant that they had passed six excellent ambush places, but they had not encountered any ambush.
This was something that made him feel very strange. Going forward, the dangerous area was within a hundred miles of Zhangye City. They would not ambush him near Zhangye City! What kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd?
At this time, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and two scouts who were exploring the road ahead were sent back by Niu Jinda. They saluted Wang Junlin and said: "Reporting to the Marquis, we have gone to check for nearly forty miles. There is no ambush on the road, and
There is a small village more than ten miles away, and people in the village said that no troops have appeared in the past few days."
"Master Hou, this is a bit strange."
Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said, "Could it be that we made a mistake? Li Fengyun wanted to wait until we entered Zhangye County before taking action."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "It is impossible to do it in the city, unless he wants to kill all Zhangye County prefects and officials at all levels, and he knows very well that it is almost impossible to kill me in the city."
Speaking of this, Wang Junlin suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, his eyes swept over Shangguan Hu, Yu Zimo, Xu Jingzong, and Zhan Peng, and he smiled bitterly and said: "That caravan yesterday was used to be discovered by us, so as to force me not to do anything.
If we dare to go through Shaping Pass, if I guessed correctly, the army has blocked our way behind and in front of us. We are blocked in Heilangxing."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this. Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth and said: "The Marquis will leave over the mountain with a small number of powerful men. The large team will attract the enemy's attention for the Marquis and cover the Marquis' departure."
Zhan Peng immediately said: "I am willing to lead a large group of people to attract attention for the Marquis. Please ask the Marquis to take a small number of people to leave over the mountain as Mr. Xu said. At worst, he will avenge us someday."
"Nonsense, brothers follow me to live a good life, for fame and wealth, not to bring death to me. When we were blocked by Shangguan Hu and others in a small valley a few days ago, I left you alone.
Left?" Wang Junlin shouted coldly.
Shangguan Hu was moved in his heart. After all, he had just taken refuge with Wang Junlin with his two hundred brothers. Before they even reached the ground, he muddleheadedly asked his brothers to die. No matter what he did, it was unjustifiable.
Wang Junlin stood up and ordered to everyone: "Let's turn around and go back now! Send the order to Niu Jinda and ask them to catch up quickly."
…
…
Just as Wang Junlin judged, Turkic general Luo Gesen had led his men to block the exit of Heilangxing, while Li Fengyun sent 3,000 troops to block Heilangxing's retreat.
In the end, Li Fengyun did not bring the people over personally, but sent his confidant Li Congrui, Captain Guoyi, to lead 3,000 soldiers from Shabang Pass to cut off the opponent's retreat after Wang Junlin and his party entered Heilangxing.
The entrance to Heilangxing is called Heilangyu. It is a low-lying rolling hilly area with dense forests. It is actually a depression between two low hills. If it weren't for the stone tablet of "Heilangxing" standing on the roadside, who would
Unexpectedly, this shallow ditch is the entrance to Heilangxing.
At this time, Li Congrui led 3,000 troops to camp at the entrance. Wang Junlin and the others were intercepted by 5,000 Turkic troops. If they were lucky enough to survive, they would have to retreat in at least four or five days. Li Congrui knew this very well, and
He also didn't take Wang Junlin and the others seriously. The other party only had more than 200 people in total, but they had 3,000 people. When the other party escaped from the Turks and got here, there would probably be even fewer people. The difference in strength was too big.
In his opinion, it would be over if Wang Junlin didn't come. If he did, it would be an easy task to kill the other party. His only worry was that Wang Junlin would climb the mountain and escape alone.
In contrast, Li Congrui paid more attention to the Turks. If the Turks army chased Wang Junlin all the way, he would have to show something while ensuring Wang Junlin's death. At least he would have to fight the Turks.
Perfect. This Turkic people are said to be the Silver Wolf King Cavalry, which makes Li Congrui a little worried.
Night falls quietly, the moon rises, the night becomes pale, and the darkness seems to be dissipating, the air becomes transparent and warm, the moonlight shines on Heilang Pass, coating the rocks and trees on the hills with a layer of silver, everywhere
They could all see clearly, and could even distinguish the grass stems on the roadside. In the narrow open space between the two hills, more than 300 tents clearly stood.
In the woods on a hill a hundred steps away from the tent, Wang Junlin and two more of his men were looking at a tent under the hill.
Due to the narrow terrain, the tents were placed one next to the other and were densely distributed in strips from north to south. There were about 300 tents in total. They were surrounded by dense spears to prevent theft from the camp. Wandering sentries could be faintly seen walking around the camp.
, there are also lurking sentries hidden in the dark.
