Turbulent Times Chapter 1225: Purple-faced King of Heaven
One night in the Spring Festival, Shan Xiongxin did not forget the business. Early the next morning, he led a thousand veterans of the reconnaissance team and more than 4,000 county soldiers from five counties to continue chasing the remnant enemies led by Dou Jiande, and ordered the remaining three County soldiers from several counties escorted nearly ten thousand people captives, women, children, old and young, back to Fanyang County.
It's just that after Sun Tieya woke up, she said that Dou Jiande had killed his whole family, and she wanted to take revenge, and she showed off her high-strength martial arts, which surprised Shan Xiongxin slightly, and made him feel pity and wanted to hug him all the time. The weak woman cared for in the genus turned out to be a master.
Under normal circumstances, Shan Xiongxin would not agree, nor should he, but after a night of spring festival, the position of this woman in Shan Xiong's confidence has changed greatly.
After leaving Gaojibo, Shan Xiongxin ordered the army to speed up the march, and marched for fifty miles in one breath. After receiving a letter from the spies in front, saying that Dou Jiande and his party were resting in a dilapidated cottage on the mountain in front, not far from here, Shan Xiongxin also ordered The army stopped to rest, and after recovering their physical strength, they went straight up to kill the enemy. He didn't bother to do any more tactics. The county soldiers trained by the Snake Island training method had yesterday's actual combat experience. He was confident that he could easily defeat the less than 10,000 bandit soldiers with 5,000 men head-on.
"Shan Lang, that Dou Jiande is as cunning as a fox and full of tricks. It's impossible not to know that Shan Lang led people to catch up, but he didn't flee. He must have something to rely on, and Shan Lang had to guard against it." A tall and thin guard said suddenly, but the voice sounded like a woman, who else could it be if not Sun Tieya. But this woman's voice is cold at this time, her expression is firm, and her face is indifferent, she doesn't have the slightest coquettish and weak posture when she was playing with Shan Xiongxin on the bed last night.
Sun Tieya's expression at this time is completely different from that at night, but in the eyes of Shan Xiongxin, it fascinates him even more. Many soldiers, especially the reconnaissance captain Liu Fangyi's indignant gaze made him a little embarrassed, he turned his head quickly, pointed in the direction of Dou Jiande with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "Yaya is right, the spies came to report just now, and there is a man on both sides in front of him." There is a mountain path with high cliffs, and the reconnaissance team found traces of the enemy from the high cliffs on both sides. If I didn't
If there is a mistake, Dou Jiande wants to take advantage of the terrain of the mountain road and use the rolling stones on both sides of the mountain road to destroy my entire army. Naturally, I will not be fooled. "
…
…
At the same time, ten miles away from Shan Xiongxin and his party, a group of thieves with uneven armor but full of murderous spirits was going through a rapid march. The leader was riding a tall horse, holding two huge axes in both hands, and his body was like an iron tower. Generally speaking, the most important thing is that this person's complexion is purple and black, which is different from ordinary people, and his eyes are extremely fierce. Ordinary people will be frightened if they stare at him.
"Dou Jiande, the dog day, insisted that we take the mountain road, and didn't let us come here in advance, and came here in a hurry when the matter was approaching. If we don't give us enough money and women this time, I will never end with him "The rebels who came here in a hurry were not a group of pure rebels, but a group of green forest bandits. It was just after Yuchi Jingde led his men and horses in the Taihang Mountain area to join Wang Junlin that they rose to the Taihang Mountains in the past year. Overlord Zimian Tianwang Xiongkuohai, over the past year with a large number of refugees joining him, his power has grown rapidly, from more than one hundred people in the end to more than ten thousand people today.
Yesterday evening, Xiong Kuohai received an urgent letter from Dou Jiande, who had been friends with him for several years and had an appointment with him before, and rushed here with his five thousand elites.
It was just a quick march all the way, which made the five thousand bandits feel miserable. For the county soldiers trained by the Snake Island training method in Fanyang County, because they usually pay attention to physical fitness and endurance, and even willpower training, coupled with strict training, marching in a hurry for one night is nothing. , the cold mountain wind and the rugged road are almost fatal. But in order to cover up their whereabouts, they can't get too close to the official road. And marching on the undulating mountain roads and country roads is more difficult than walking on the straight and wide official roads.
"This dog-damsel's weather. If we go on like this, we don't need to fight with the officers and soldiers, and we will exhaust ourselves!" Xiong Kuohai complained and ordered to rest, and the bandits cheered , there is no discipline at all, or lie down, or sit down to rest, drink water and eat dry food.
At this moment, several fast horses ran towards the team, and waved from a distance
With a green flag in his hand, this is one of the ways Dou Jiande and Xiong Kuohai agreed to meet.
Under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes, the visitors walked through the queue and went straight to the front of Xiong Kuo Hai.
"Master Xiongda, our master asked the little one to tell the master that the officers and soldiers were cunning and did not enter the deadly mountain road prepared by our master. The master said that to implement the backup plan, he would lead the officers and soldiers to a place less than three miles away from here. On the edge of the Yellowstone Beach of the Zhangshui River, when the time comes, the head of the family can lead people and our people to wipe out the bandits." The people sent by Dou Jiande bowed to report to Xiong Kuohai.
"How many officers and soldiers came to make Dou Jiande so cautious?" Xiong Kuohai asked casually.
The person who reported the letter quickly said: "More than five thousand officers and soldiers have come, but..."
But before he finished speaking, Xiong Kuohai said loudly: "There are more than five thousand people, and they are not imperial court soldiers, but some county soldiers and county soldiers. What are you afraid of? Can kill them to the ground."
The person who reported the letter smiled wryly, and quickly added: "Xiongda is in charge, the five thousand people are not Qinghe County soldiers and county soldiers, but Fanyang County troops."
"What is Fanyang County and not Fanyang County? If it is a government soldier, we will still have scruples, as long as it is a place..." Xiong Kuohai, who was waving his ax, suddenly stopped, remembered something, and said solemnly: "You said Fanyang County, could it be that the poisonous general King Qin An's men?"
The person who reported the letter said: "Who said it was not! Otherwise, our family members would not be so cautious."
…
…
A goshawk descended and landed on the shoulder of a military intelligence chief who had been following Shan Xiongxin. The latter took out a note from the small brass tube on Cangyi's leg, glanced at it, and his pupils shrank slightly. Then hand it over to Shan Xiongxin.
After Shan Xiongxin read the note, his expression gradually became serious, and then he looked up at the surrounding terrain, his face changed, but he didn't have much fear, and he shouted: "Send an order to be alert, and prepare for battle."
"General." Liu Fangyi widened his eyes in astonishment. He didn't know what the general had seen just now. There was nothing nearby. His spies sent information not long ago. The thief is still three or four miles away from here!
