Chapter 126 The Battle of the Conduit

Only two hundred miles away from Yizhou City, several hills are connected together, and the trees all over the mountain are faintly yellowed. As long as the wind blows, the leaves will rustle and fall, which immediately attracts people's attention.

And in this mountain range, the fallen leaves have accumulated several layers thick, and there are countless pairs of eyes lurking in the silent mountain forest, waiting motionlessly for the Saimo army not far away.

The soldiers lying on the ground and squatting in the bushes for a long time, heard the sound of horseshoes gradually approaching from far to near, and approached Fan Yizhi and General Lian carefully, and whispered: "There are Saimo troops ahead." Come, the visual estimate should be less than 1 people, and there is the opposing general in the middle, who seems to be tired."

Some time ago, they had learned that the Saimo army set off from Yizhou to Qingzhou. At that time, the number of soldiers and horses should be 4. They were short of troops and weapons. In Qingzhou, only [-] Saimo troops have returned, their armor is damaged, their faces are tired, and there are many wounded soldiers. It seems that they have returned after being defeated in Qingzhou.

And just yesterday, they had received a secret letter from Qingzhou, and they had ambushed here early, waiting to give the Saimo army the final blow.

When the Saimo army passed by, the Yizhou army ambushing here rushed out under the order of General Lian, relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain here to quickly surround the opponent.

Gu Xianshu has been a bandit dog-headed military strategist for many years, skilled in ambushes in various mountains, and instantly came up with a few strategies to defeat the enemy with only [-] soldiers. It is not difficult. Firmly protecting the two people, he knew that these two people were the generals in the enemy army and their important hostages this time.

He immediately told the soldiers beside him in a low voice: "Go and tell the general and Captain Fan to capture the two people in the middle alive, and don't rush to do it."

The Saimo army was finally defeated, and Fan Yizhi took the lead to capture Li Mo, who was handicapped, and Ji Wenbai, who was trying to escape. He hadn't had time to see the opponent's face clearly in the melee just now. After capturing the opponent alive, he saw the silver mask It was only later that I realized that this was a familiar face!

Fan Yizhi was a little astonished: "You are... that young master from Jiangshang?!"

Li Mo was also a little surprised when he saw Fan Yizhi. Based on the soldier's address just now, he guessed Fan Yizhi's identity as a captain, and instantly thought of the familiar figure he saw when he was in Qingzhou.

It didn't seem like he was overthinking or dazed. Since Fan Yizhi was the school lieutenant of the Yizhou Army, the man who led the army in the Battle of Qingzhou was most likely the man with high martial arts skills.

Li Mo smiled self-deprecatingly, closed his eyes, and opened them again, his eyes were filled with stagnant water, and he said without interest: "It seems that you are all from the Zhennan Army, I miscalculated this time, it is God's will , it's up to you to deal with it."

Ji Wenbo, who was captured by the Yizhou Army, turned pale with shock when he heard this, and yelled at Li Mo: "What are you talking about?! Let them do what you want! You want to kill General Ben or you don't want to die!! It's all yours Your fault! If it wasn’t for your strategy, how could the general be in this situation?” At this moment, he completely forgot that it was he who insisted on attacking Qingzhou, disregarding Li Mo’s opinion, forced out the army, and asked Wei Sui who was far away in Weicheng to obey. His command attacked Tiansuo Pass.

Hearing this, Li Mo glanced at him coldly, without any usual pretense, with disdain in his eyes, his eyes angered Ji Wenbo, making Ji Wenbo accuse him even more excitedly, but he didn't want to say more, moved away The line of sight, the face is calm.

General Lian came towards Ji Wenbai, who was yelling at him. He was tall and his face was covered with stubble that had not been treated for many days, but his eyes were still menacing.

Seeing General Lian approaching menacingly, Ji Wenbai was afraid of his own life, and quickly threatened: "If you kill me, all the people in Yizhou will have to be buried with me!!"

General Lian clenched his fists and grabbed his shirt. His eyes were horrifying, which made Ji Wenbai fearful for a moment, but seeing that he just clenched his fists and did not hurt himself, he knew that his threat was effective, and there was a look of contempt on his face. smile.

"The whole city of Yizhou cannot afford to pay for my life! If something happens to me, what will happen to those common people?"

"How could we kill you? Your life is very important to us." Gu Xianshu walked over, smiling, and said this sentence gently, but the next moment his eyes changed slightly, his voice changed, and he said :"But……"

A fist slammed Ji Wenbai's face so hard that Ji Wenbai almost turned over, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth instantly, his cheeks immediately swelled up visibly, tears flowed horizontally, and he looked at the person who came by in disbelief.

Fan Yizhi withdrew his fist, and calmly added Gu Xianshu's words: "But it doesn't mean we won't hit you."

Ever since he and Li Yao entered Yanjing through the customs clearance documents, his ideas began to change unknowingly.

At least without changing the basic principles, some things can achieve the goal faster, so it is not against one's will.

At least after that punch, he really felt much better.

General Lian pretended not to see it, and when he ordered the soldiers to escort Li Mo and Ji Wenbai back, he took a second look at Li Mo. The silver mask reminded him of Zhennan Hou who died in battle.

Gu Xianshu noticed something wrong with General Lian, fearing that he would not be able to restrain his anger, he reminded in a low voice: "General, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. These two are the key for us to take back Yizhou, and they may be used In negotiating with Sai Mo, I hope the general will put the overall situation first."

General Lian was silent for a moment, and only ordered Gu Xianshu to remember to send someone to Qingzhou to inform them that they had captured the other general alive, and then took the soldiers back to the barracks.

------------

It was five days after Qi Muye received the letter, and the scouts who sent the letter delivered it at the speed of their horses. But at that time, Li Yao and Song Ruyu led [-] infantry, crossbowmen and [-] cavalry to Tiansuoguan to rush Go to Kong Dao Valley to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Just a few days ago, the scouts reported that the Saimo army who stayed in Weicheng had gone to Tiansuoguan, but their actions were very confidential. They wanted to quickly reach Tiansuoguan from Kongdao Valley in a few days, and give Tiansuoguan an offensive by surprise. The scout was almost found with two arrows and rushed back to Qingzhou overnight to report the whereabouts of the Saimo army in Weicheng. After conveying the information as quickly as possible, he vomited blood and died.

In order to seize the opportunity and rush to Kongdao Valley to wipe out the [-] troops of the Saimo Army relying on the terrain, Li Yao and Song Ruyu led a total of [-] soldiers to Tiansuo Pass. General Gao at Tiansuo Pass, since General Mo and General Gao have been on the battlefield together, this matter will be done by General Mo, and he will strive to win General Gao's surrender, and there will be a stronger force at that time.

So it was too late to wait for General Lian to report the situation, so they set out first. Qi Muye and the two generals stayed in Qingzhou temporarily, waiting for reports from all parties, and at the same time, they had to be on guard in the city against the enemy's return attack.

Li Yao and the others rushed to Tiansuo Pass with their soldiers, and the group finally arrived at Tiansuo Pass without stopping.

General Mo was in charge of handing over the letter to General Gao who was guarding the pass. He thought it would take a lot of trouble. After all, Tiansuo Pass is located in an important geographical position, and there are more soldiers guarding it. It is not easy to meet General Gao. What's more, they are still the Zhennan Army. If General Gao submits to the imperial court, maybe he will send troops to give them a heavy blow, and then they will be attacked by the enemy.

Unexpectedly, General Gao seemed to be waiting for their arrival long ago. After seeing their flags and knowing their identities, the city gate officer immediately went to inform General Gao, and then opened the city gate to him to welcome them in.

General Mo and General Gao had a friendship in the same robe, and the two hadn't seen each other for many years, so they couldn't help sighing, but time was running out, so he immediately explained the purpose of coming and took out Qi Muye's secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, General Gao frowned at the fact that Sai Mo was going to invade, and then let go, relieved: "Ever since I learned that Sai Mo's army invaded again and the old Marquis died, I have been worried about Zhennan's attack. There is no one in the army to take over, if the young master takes over now and wins a big game, it seems that the Zhennan Army can regain its prestige in the past!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Actually, not long ago, the imperial court came to order me to wait for the Tiansuo Pass to stick to it, and to keep the Zhennan Army at bay. Ignore it." General Gao had something in his words.

General Mo was taken aback, but without showing it on his face, he said, "Then you have already agreed?"

General Gao grinned, and patted him on the shoulder: "How could that be! If I obeyed the order, why would I let you in? I saw you immediately and let the soldiers shoot arrows! I have served the old Marquis with you, I must have I also know that they are dealing with the Zhennan Army at this time, and they will deal with me in the future! I can still understand this point."

General Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stated the method they wanted to deal with the Saimo Army this time.

"This method is feasible, but..." General Gao thought of the indifferent man he saw just now, "The leader of the army is only young and inexperienced in marching. I'm afraid this is not appropriate? After all, Kongdao Valley is long and narrow. When you fight, you have to plan well."

General Mo's attitude was different from the first time, and he said in a tone of approval: "Even if you don't believe him, you still have to believe in my vision, my feeling is not wrong. What's more, he used it in the last war. A complete victory, this time seems to be prepared..."

General Gao couldn't help but be amazed when he heard General Mo talking about Li Yao's ideas, his performance on the battlefield, and his extraordinary force.

After listening, he couldn't help but want to see this person again.

"General Lee seemed to be busy with something and asked no one to come in and disturb him."

Hearing this, General Mo said, "Are you still doing it?" He had already seen Li Yao in Qingzhou before closing the door to make something when he was in Qingzhou. In order to prevent others from peeking, he even let Song Ruyu stand at the door Guarded.

And Song Ruyu really listened to Li Yao's words, and guarded the door tightly. As long as others approached a few steps, he would be driven away immediately. Even though he didn't know what Li Yao was doing inside, Li Yao never told him. But his intuition made him trust Li Yao unconditionally.

It was the same at Tiansuo Pass at the moment, Li Yao asked for a room, and Song Ruyu sat at the door with a big knife in his hand, even though he had a handsome face, the murderous aura around his body prevented others from approaching.

Li Yao came out not long after, carrying two sacks full of unknown items in his hands.

Song Ruyu glanced curiously and said, "It's done?"

"Yeah." Li Yao warned him directly: "You can't watch."

Song Ruyu was a little dissatisfied: "I haven't peeked for so long, let alone this time."

Li Yao praised him earnestly: "Well done, keep it up."

It was a common compliment, not special, but it made Song Ruyu a little embarrassed, and asked as if changing the subject: "Is this what you mean by preparation?"

Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes."

At the beginning, Qi Muye asked Li Yao to bring [-] soldiers and leave [-] soldiers in Qingzhou, but he was still afraid that it would not be enough. What he was afraid of was that General Gao at Tiansuoguan would not surrender. They would be too passive by then, even with crossbowmen , The strength of the cavalry has also increased, but the odds of winning with too many opponents are still not great.

But Li Yao firmly said that enough is enough, and started to secretly manufacture things ahead of time, making everyone curious about what his "preparation" was, and how it could play such a big role.

Even when he set off from Kongdao Valley, when General Gao asked whether he wanted to support the soldiers, Li Yao pointed to the two sacks hanging on the horse's back and said: "These two sacks are worth it."

But in General Gao's ears, he felt that Li Yao was provocative, as if he looked down on his own soldiers, so he immediately lowered his face and said coldly, "If that's the case, General Li shouldn't send anyone back for reinforcements."

Seeing this, Song Ruyu knew that Li Yao's words had been misunderstood, she couldn't help but rubbed her forehead, and tried to explain to General Gao, but she didn't expect that she was also a straightforward person, and said: "He didn't mean that, but he has always been straightforward."

General Gao's face turned completely dark.

Li Yao and Song Ruyu rushed to Kongdao Valley with [-] troops when the Saimo army arrived. Kongdao Valley is long and narrow. They sent infantry and crossbowmen to ambush at the exit, and cavalry were ready to pursue at any time. Crush the Saimo army.

And Li Yao was finally willing to open the two sacks, inside were black balls and an inexplicable smell of gunpowder smoke, and a wick was used to light the fire.

After distributing the things in the sacks to the soldiers, Li Yao began to order them to place these "things" on the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon.The soldiers didn't understand how to use this thing, so they couldn't help looking at Li Yao.

Li Yao asked, "Are you running fast?"

The infantry were a little confused: "Very...very fast..."

Li Yao nodded: "That's fine." Throwing the torch to them, he said, "Light the fire, then run, understand?"

Someone asked: "General, what will happen if you can't run fast?"

Li Yao said lightly: "It's nothing."

The infantry breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just going to die."

"..."

Immediately, everyone holding the black thing felt as if their hands were about to burn.

The Saimo army still had half an hour to arrive at the entrance of the canyon. The soldiers quickly placed the things at the entrance of the canyon according to Li Yao's instructions, and then lay in ambush, waiting for the arrival of the Saimo army.

Li Yao and Song Ruyu led other soldiers and waited at the exit, luring the enemy into the canyon.

After all, Song Ruyu had never seen the power of that thing. Seeing that the Saimo Army was approaching, she was still a little worried, and asked Li Yao in a low voice: "Is it really not necessary to use the catapult? Or let more soldiers throw stones now, just in case just in case."

"No, this is more convenient, but a bit noisy."

"A little noisy?" Song Ruyu was even more confused.

Immediately, he understood what Li Yao meant by the quarrel.

Sai Mojun inspected the situation in the canyon and saw that there was nothing abnormal in the canyon, so he reported to Wei Sui, lowering his head and not daring to look at Wei Sui's face.

More than half of Wei Sui's face was burnt, and there were already terrible scars left. At this moment, his complexion was not good, and there was no trace of a smile. He was like a ghost in hell, which made people intimidated.

Not long after he set off, he always felt uneasy. It stands to reason that Li Mo should send someone to send a secret letter to tell the situation, but there has been no sound until now, which is not in line with his cautious character.

What he was more worried about was whether something would happen to Li Mo, so his face darkened all the way, making others dare not approach him. This angered him even more, and he felt that others cared about the scars on his face, so when his violent temper returned, he was executed by military law Several personal guards.

All the soldiers around him were trembling at this moment, for fear that it would be him who would be executed the next moment.

Wei Sui first sent some soldiers into the canyon, checked a section of the road, and after finding that there was no problem, he put the whole army on alert and entered the canyon. Immediately, Wei Sui raised his head and saw the soldiers who suddenly appeared, and immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, and let the archers shoot arrows at the mountain wall!

These infantrymen really deserved to run fast. As soon as they ignited the wires, they immediately turned around and ran. Facing the dense arrow rain, most of them suffered some injuries and ran to a safe place with one breath.

Because if they run slower, they will remember what Li Yao said "will die".

After all, they have never seen this general make a joke, so he must die!

Wei Sui saw the soldiers set fire to something black. Although he didn't know what it was, he felt that something was wrong. As soon as he called the soldiers to pay attention, there was a loud noise on the mountain wall! !Accompanied by the loud noise, boulders rolled down, hitting the soldiers one after another, and they screamed again and again.

Even Wei Sui's head was smashed, blood was running down his face, his eyes were blurred, and in a panic, he still ordered the shield soldiers to cover to avoid damage.

Song Ruyu, who was onlookers at the exit, was startled by the sudden loud noise, and then saw the rocks that had been blown off the mountain wall rolling down, and the Saimo army fled in a panic, losing their formation in an instant Even after Wei Sui yelled and held the shield for protection, many soldiers were already injured.

The falling stones had already blocked the entrance, and they could not retreat, they could only advance towards the exit.Li Yao asked the crossbowmen to set up their crossbows and shoot arrows inside. The boulders rolled down and the rain of arrows caused the Saimo army to be greatly frustrated.

When he was forced into a desperate situation, Wei Sui, whose face was covered in blood, had already forgotten the pain, and his face was ferocious, like a ghost crawling up from hell, forcing the soldiers to break through. Song Ruyu and the cavalry were chasing him, not giving him a moment The opportunity to breathe is about to bury their [-] troops in this canyon! !

Wei Sui's eyes were red, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "How is the military adviser who fought with you in Qingzhou?"

Song Ruyu didn't understand why, and sneered without thinking, "Dead."

Wei Sui's pupils shrank sharply, the veins on the arm holding the knife hilt bulged, and he stared at Song Ruyu fiercely: "How did you die?!"

"I hacked it to death." Song Ruyu replied lightly.

Song Ruyu didn't expect that Wei Sui's force was higher than he imagined, especially after he said that the opponent's military division was hacked to death by him, he suddenly became violent and his strength increased. After the blood was a little underestimating and careless, Wei Sui was stabbed heavily in the back, and the blood gushed out, soaking his back instantly.

He immediately turned around and blocked another attack with the knife, but the wound on his back was pulled open, and warm blood continued to flow out.

Before he could fight back, the opponent was already knocked off the horse by Li Yao with an ax from behind.

This ax was given to Li Yao by Qi Muye from the Hou's mansion, because he remembered that Li Yao seemed to like axes, so Li Yao used the ax as a weapon.

Li Yao looked at Wei Sui who had fallen to the ground with his ax on his shoulder. The ax was still dripping with blood. Wei Sui, who had rolled to the ground, was trampled by panicked hooves. He tried to get up, but he still fell to the ground.

The moment Wei Sui closed his eyes, Wei Sui felt that this was fine, this life was just like this, and he hoped that he would not be reborn in the imperial family in his next life, and if he could, he would still meet the person who accompanied him to escape from Yanjing.

In the Battle of Kongdao, the Saimo army was defeated, Wei Sui died at the foot of his hooves, General Tiansuo Guangao surrendered to the Zhennan Army, and the court was shocked.In a few days, General Lian led [-] soldiers to take back Yizhou, and captured Saimo Yin Nanyun Princess and Saimo Commander Ji Family's second son Ji Wenbai as a threat.
