The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

Chapter 81

Wei Jiu and the others are so keen, seeing that Jia Lian suddenly looks like a cat that has been on alert, Wei Jiu hurriedly asked, "Second Young Master, what's wrong?"

Jia Lian didn't have time to explain, and said: "Mr. Wei, Yun'er, you all follow me up the mountain; Captain Qian, you lead people to guard here. If there are enemy troops behind you, stop them at all costs. I will tell the arrow what to do next." News."

Captain Qian was the leader of the three hundred elite soldiers, so he naturally listened to Jia Lian, the vanguard general.After that, the three hundred soldiers were divided into several groups on the spot, and they found a bunker on the spot to hide, and stared intently below.

There were [-] elite soldiers left, and there were no more than [-] people who continued to go up the mountain, but all of these [-] people were elite.And the target is small, not easy to be found.Jia Lian and others took advantage of the cover of the dense forest and continued to walk up the mountain.

Wei Jiu asked himself that he was by no means a fool, but sometimes he reacted a little slower than Jia Lian, but when Jia Lian took a certain action, he could at least quickly understand his intentions.But today, Wei Jiu has no idea why Jia Lian did this.

Although Wei Jiu didn't know why Jia Lian suddenly seemed to be facing an enemy, but he was a person who practiced killing skills and had a natural sense of danger.But this time, Wei Jiu's feeling was very contradictory. The sense of danger was very faint, so faint that it was not easy to detect, but at the same time, he felt that the faint sense of danger was very terrifying, and it was an unprecedented dangerous situation he had faced in his life.

Wei Jiu took a slightly heavier breath, looked up at Jia Lian who was frowning, and saw that there were already big drops of sweat on Jia Lian's cheeks.Southern Xinjiang is humid and hot, and sweating is common, but Jia Lian beat young martial arts practitioners, even if they sweated, they definitely didn't do it like this, just like a very weak person.

When Wei Jiu met Jia Lian, Jia Lian was only 11 years old. At that time, the Duke of the State wanted Jia Lian to inherit the mantle, and the second son of Lian at that time did not behave like a baby at all.I have known Jia Lian for many years, and I have never encountered any kind of predicament before, but I have never seen Jia Lian so nervous.

"Second Young Master, are you alright?" Wei Jiu saw something was wrong, and the others naturally saw it too, so Mother Fan asked.

Jia Lian didn't force himself to say it was all right, with his honor, no one would believe him if he said it was all right.Jia Lian turned around with a solemn face and said to the crowd: "Everyone, I am worried that Zhen Hanguan will use Situ Shuo to lure the imperial army up the mountain. It is not the military agencies that are ambushing on the mountain, but the army."

Speaking of this, Wei Jiu and Qin Yue could barely hold their breath, while Jia Yun and the group of teenagers were all shocked.Jia Lian also took a long breath, and then continued: "If unfortunately the guess is correct, the further we go up the mountain, the more dangerous we will be. We are all flesh and blood, and no one can resist the power of the explosion. .”

Speaking of this, Jia Lian raised his head and glanced at the faces of Wei Jiu, Qin Yue, Guan Qishou and others, and then said: "Mentors, you don't get royal salaries, you can serve in the army for many years, and you have made great military exploits. Thank you all for the people who were spared from the suffering of the war." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down on one knee and saluted everyone.

Wei Jiu and the others came here with Jia Daishan. After Jia Daishan passed away, he worked with Jia Lian again. He knew Jia Lian's temper well.

After saluting, Jia Lian continued: "It's just that today's incident is far from any danger that has ever been encountered before. Jia Lian dare not drag you gentlemen to risk yourself. Earlier, I asked all the gentlemen to go up the mountain with Jia Lian. In order not to disturb the morale of the army, now Jia Lian is going to go up the mountain to investigate the dangerous situation, so farewell, gentlemen."

After saying this, Jia Lian turned to Jia Yun and his party again: "Yun'er, you all entered the army before the army set off. You are different from the gentlemen. It will be very difficult to leave now. It's dangerous, and you're close to death, since you've got the imperial salary, there's absolutely no reason to back down."

The children of the Jia family who joined the army this time were trained and influenced by Jia Lian since they were young, and they bravely joined the army knowing that the war ahead was anxious. None of them were timid.Although I heard that they were very likely to be blown to pieces, they were naturally timid for a while, but these people were young and energetic, and thinking of what Jia Lian said in the past to protect their families and the country, Jia Yun stood up and said, "Don't worry, second uncle, we will never How dare you embarrass Second Uncle!"

The other Jia family children, some with Congyu characters and some with Congcaotou, expressed their opinions one after another: "Second Uncle Lian, don't worry!" "Second Brother Lian, don't worry!"

Jia Lian nodded, glanced at the top of the mountain, and said firmly, "Let's go!" Then he clasped his fists at Wei Jiu and the others, and strode forward.

Wei Jiu watched all this without saying a word, with a faint smile on his usually expressionless face: "Why, Second Master Lian thinks that only the children of the Jia family can do the work of protecting the family and the country, and they don't look down on us. Isn't he a foreigner?" He said, and followed.

The rest, Tan Yue, Guan Qishou and others, are all bold and talented, and they are used to Jia Daishan's dedication to serving the people. He originally had the ambition of great kindness and bravery. Naturally, he knew that this trip was dangerous and no one was behind They all stepped forward.

Jia Lian's chest felt hot, and he felt hot in his eye sockets.After a short while, Wei Jiu and his party and Jia Yun's party walked in front of Jia Lian.Jia Lian felt that in front of him were a group of Jing Ke who crossed Yishui, and behind him were the lives of thousands of soldiers and common people.Whether it is Wei Jiu, a righteous soldier in the rivers and lakes, or Jia Yun, a new recruit, they are all like the martyrs and comrades they admire the most.

Jia Lian desperately recalled the terrain of the previous life's Raging Flame Mountain, and not long after going up, it would be roughly equivalent to the altitude of the later generation's Raging Flame Mountain. unknown area.

Just now Jia Lian asked the local Li Shanzi what the name of the mountain was, and Li Shanzi said he had never heard of it.This is not surprising.In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. Throughout the Yunnan border and the mountainous areas of Southeast Asia, most of the aborigines lived on both sides of the river valley. Some deep mountains and old forests had no names because few people visited them.

If the mountain does not have a name at this time, but it has a name in the future, does the name Lieyan Mountain mean that there was a big fire here?Wildfires can change the vegetation of a place, but nature has a strong self-healing ability. After a few decades, it will become lush again, and it is difficult to find traces of wildfires, but it is almost impossible for ordinary wildfires to change a place. The topography of the land, the fire that can flatten a mountain, Jia Lian thought that the most likely thing was an explosion.

This is also the reason why Jia Lian kept almost all of his army at the foot of the mountain. It would be best if the explosion could be stopped. If not, at least leave a lot of vitality for the court.Where there are people, there is hope.There are countless capable people in the great China, even if Zhen Hanguan can be proud for a while, it is only the end of his strength and will not last long.

In Jia Lian's mind, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't stop at all. He caught up with Wei Jiu and the others, took out the Kanyu map for a brief discussion, and grouped the people who went up the mountain into groups to search in various directions.

In ancient times, there were no large-scale excavation machines. To carry out large-scale blasting, it would be extremely labor-intensive to bury it. It would be a huge project to cause a big explosion that would level a mountain.According to Jia Lian's speculation, Zhenhanguan must have used caves or loose structures in the mountains itself.Now, as long as my group can find some hidden caves, they will most likely be able to find the lead.

After hearing Jia Lian's plan, Wei Jiu also felt that it made sense, but whether he could search for it, how many people would handle each lead wire after searching, and whether he could cut off the lead wire smoothly, all depended on God's will.

Without further ado, after the assignment was completed, more than 20 people ran away in groups of two and two in all directions.

In the South Vietnamese army, the messengers shuttled back and forth, sending the battle reports ahead one by one back to the camp at Zhenhanguan.Zhen Hanguan heard that the imperial army was really fooled, and stepped into his trap step by step, with a vicious smile on his face.After recruiting a few confidantes, the general's orders were conveyed one by one, and Zhen Hanguan led Lou Tianlie out of the camp.

After Zhen Hanguan led the people out of the camp, he said to Lou Tianlie: "Mr. Lou, let's send Jia Jing and Jia Lian off after the fireworks are announced."

Lou Tianlie didn't speak, but let out a chilling snort from his nose, and nodded his head with a gloomy expression.He didn't forget his arm that was folded under Jia Daishan's knife.Although Jia Daishan overestimated himself, he was old and frail and confronted himself head-on, and eventually lost his life, but he became disabled as a result.If he could send Jia Daishan's most beloved grandson and Jia Jing, the most important member of the Jia family, to see him today, it would be considered revenge for his broken arm.

Seeing that Lou Tianlie agreed, Zhen Hanguan clasped his hands at Lou Tianlie and said, Mr. Lou has worked so hard.After finishing speaking, he took an unremarkable entourage and headed towards a highland opposite the Flame Mountain.Although the terrain there is high, there are huge rocks on both sides to cover it, which is not only conducive to observing the enemy's situation on the opposite mountain, but also will not be injured by the aftermath of the explosion.

Just as Jia Lian guessed, Zhenhanguan discovered the peculiar terrain of this mountain many years ago, which was convenient for burial. At that time, he used this place as a secret base, using the caves connected vertically and horizontally on the mountain, and manpower to dig out a cobweb-like passage. A lot of things are arranged.In today's battle, Zhen Hanguan is determined to win.

As for Situ Shuo and Gao Yuantai, in Zhen Hanguan's eyes, they were just decoys. When Gao Yuantai's troops and the imperial army were in the midst of a fierce battle, Zhen Hanguan would not even blink when the bomb was detonated.In Zhen Hanguan's view, it is best for those who cannot be used by themselves to die.

Zhen Hanguan ran towards the high ground while counting the time.At the beginning, I and Gao Yuantai parted ways for a while, the imperial army did not know that apart from Situ Shuo fleeing to the mountain where the gun was buried, there was also Gao Yuantai's tribe waiting for work on the mountain.Although the imperial army has a large number of generals, Gao Yuantai's tribe is all Yunnan mountain people, and their combat capabilities in the mountains are stronger than the imperial army. In addition, Gao Yuantai is eager to survive, so he must fight desperately with the imperial army.Therefore, according to Zhen Hanguan's plan, Gao Yuantai must be able to delay the imperial army for a long time.This time is enough to run to the opposite mountain to watch this good show, and it is also enough for the people from Huagulou to light the fuse and send them back to the west together.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and a frantic flush appeared on Zhen Hanguan's face.

Jia Jing listened to Jia Lian's suggestion and slowed down before leading the army to the halfway up the mountain.At night, Jia Jing neither received Jia Lian's signal nor encountered a large number of enemy troops, so he simply ordered to find a place to camp, but the war was about to break out, and the vigilance was stricter than before.

The [-] elite soldiers left behind by Jia Lian were higher than the main force. After half a day of vigilance, they never saw the enemy army encircling from behind as Jia Lian said. Seeing that it was getting late, they all set up camp on the spot.

Marching and fighting, the spirit is highly tense, and the physical strength is exhausted. After nightfall, the entire war zone, regardless of enemy or friend, is camped and recharged. Jia Lian and Zhen Hanguan are the only ones who are still operating at night.

Zhenhanguan was afraid that he would walk too slowly, and he would miss the battle between the two armies tomorrow, and he would take the opportunity to detonate the bomb; while Jia Lian and his party did not dare to stop for a moment until they found the cave where the **** was buried in Zhenhanguan.

The next day, Zhenhanguan finally arrived at the opposite highland, looked up, and saw that Gao Yuantai's department was well concealed, and there was no flaw to be seen.Due to the large number of imperial troops, Zhenhanguan can still occasionally see the shadows of the imperial army marching, but the imperial army is moving slowly. It is still on the mountainside at this moment, and the speed is much slower than Zhenhanguan's estimate.

The next day, Jia Jing's troops slowed down according to plan, and met the [-] elite soldiers left by Jia Lian. Both armies were very surprised, not knowing what Jia Lian's intention was.

Jia Jing heard from Li Shanzi about how Jia Lian left behind three hundred elite soldiers to guard him. Although he still couldn't figure out Jia Lian's intentions, he already vaguely guessed that there must be something wrong with Jia Lian's arrangement. The disciples of Jia's family, who were trained by themselves, have gone alone in danger.

Jia Jing didn't know why Jia Lian didn't explain it to him, but he already guessed that Jia Lian might go deep into a dangerous situation. Jia Jing couldn't ignore it, and turned to Liu Ping and said, "General Liu, Situ Shuo is the court's wanted criminal. Since he fled to the top of the mountain, Presumably there is either a retreat or an ambush on the mountain, I will lead people up the mountain to chase, and you lead the troops to stay here to guard."

Liu Ping knew that although Jia Jing was knowledgeable and familiar with military books, he was not good at martial arts and physical strength, so she volunteered: "Marshal still wants to sit in the army and go up the mountain to search for Situ Shuo's whereabouts. You might as well leave it to your subordinates."

Jia Jing also knew that Liu Ping had good intentions, but the more he thought about it, the more suspicious things became, and he had to go there himself to be at ease, so he waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter..."

Just as the words were saying, a few loud arrows flew into the sky and exploded, but it was not the signal that I had agreed with Jia Lian in advance.

Jia Jing's heart twitched, at this moment, drums and shouts shook the sky on the top of the mountain, as if thousands of troops were coming down.Jia Jing's heart trembled, and he didn't care about discussing who would lead the troops up the mountain, he hurriedly waved the command flag, set up a formation, and waited for it.

In the dense forest, vines are overgrown, and people who are not familiar with the mountainous terrain may even be stumbled; arrow feathers are easily blocked by branches and leaves, and their attack power is limited.Therefore, at the mountain forest station, hand-to-hand combat is the main thing, and the people rushing down from the high place are condescending and have a great advantage. Jia Jing and Liu Ping dare not be careless.

Jia Jing was wondering who fired the loud arrow just now, and then a series of loud arrows exploded in the air, which was exactly the color used by his side.But the signal didn't tell the army to charge up the mountain, but instead told the army to retreat quickly.

Jia Jing was full of doubts, but he knew that Jia Lian had undoubtedly sent the signal. Jia Lian has always judged accurately and acted decisively.The imperial army is well-trained, going up and down the mountain, advancing and retreating, whoever opens the way will be the rear, and there are drill formations on weekdays.Therefore, although the imperial army suddenly ordered to retreat after hearing the enemy army ambushing on the mountain, the soldiers at all levels did not lose their panic at all, and retreated quickly and orderly.

And Zhen Hanguan, who was watching the fire from the other side of the high mountain on the opposite side, could not help being very annoyed when he saw his side's messenger arrow before the explosion sounded.What was even more irritating was that immediately after the imperial army's loud arrows exploded in the air, the imperial army actually started to retreat?Did the imperial army see through their intentions again?

"Impossible!" Zhen Hanguan's face was full of anger, and he slapped his palm heavily on the big tree beside him. The rough and cracked bark hurt his pampered hand.

At the same time, the unattractive guard beside Zhen Hanguan shouted, "Who is it!"

The three words they both said, one in anger and one in surprise, merged into a strange tone.

When Zhen Hanguan heard Gu Xing said that someone was coming, he became more frightened and angry, and hurriedly turned to look.

It has to be said that Gu Xing is a very vigilant person. Like Wei Jiu and Jia Lian, he has a natural perception of danger.In fact, when he found someone approaching, Jia Lian and Wei Jiu were still far away.

Seeing that he had been found hiding, Jia Lian simply did not hide his whereabouts, and walked out generously and said: "I have admired Mr. Xue Hanguan's name for a long time, and it is true that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times."

But a simple greeting, when Zhen Hanguan heard it, his face changed suddenly, as if a ghost had been hit by a blue sky and a white day.Although Zhen Hanguan reacted very quickly and quickly returned to normal color, judging from the drastic change in his expression just now, Jia Lian knew that he had guessed right. Mr. Hanguan's surname was Xue but not Zhen. Off is also.
