10. Armored Water Outpost
Now, after Li Xilie captured Wuguan Road in Shangzhou, Li Shuwen immediately threw himself into his arms. Not only was he accepted as a "fake" by Xilie, he also gave him the title of "Huaining Military Gate Gun General", and raised more than 3,000 mountain sheds to destroy the robbers, Deng and all three states, so he was so majestic.
Before Gao Yue's Baicao Army came, with Li Shuwen's self-awareness, he crossed Manchuan Pass and went south to get the small Shangjin Fort. It was really easy to capture, so the ultimatum he gave to Wanqi was not entirely a simple threat.
But now thousands of official soldiers are descending from the sky, which makes Li Shuwen feel unexpected.
Under the hills of Guandong, Manchuan, another leader, Mo Liuhun, took dozens of mountain sheds and took the paths everywhere. He suddenly separated from the top of the mountain and gathered at the foot of the mountain in a flash.
The officers and soldiers standing in the formation saw that the mountain sheds were carrying bow bags made of deer-skin, holding short-handled horizontal swords, and some were carrying horse forks. They were as fast as flying on the mountain, gathering and dispersing like the wind, and constantly ringing the small drums and gongs they carried with them, confusing their ears and ears. Mo Liuhun himself did not move on the mountainside, but instead hung flags on a large tree, waiting for them to look around, observe the virtual and real situation of the official army, and communicated messages with Manchuan Pass.
Mo Liuhun's mountain shed team and Shannan soldiers on the left wing of the official army were separated by a deep ditch. The ditch was about a meter wide and there were many rocks inside. It was a forked stream from Jiashui. Now spring rain has just fallen, and the flowing water has skyrocketed, blocking the two sides.
Soon, the mountain sheds relied on this dangerous place to sarcastically and provoke the officials. Huh, huh, mixed with strong wind, kept shooting arrows. The tree trunk beside General Wu Xianfu, who was holding a sword to press the formation, laid several arrows on it, and the Shannan soldiers were shot and injured. "It's so arrogant!" Wu Xianfu was furious and prepared to order his crossbowman to come forward and shoot.
The mountain shed opposite was even more crazy. The laughter of the mountain soldiers' bows were all soft bows, and they could only be used to shoot pheasants.
Before the words could be finished, the sound of horse hooves suddenly started:
The Central Front of the Office Army suddenly launched several cavalry. It was Ming Huaiyi, Ming Jingyi, Ming Weiyi, and Ming Weiyi, who took away the three mistresses. He pulled Ju Bo and Sha Tongju, and a six cavalry rushed towards the mountain shed on the other side of the stream like lightning.
The battle cavalry under the crotch of these six people all have the seal of "Fly". They are all forbidden horses that the emperor tied up in the Feilong Stable in the Horse Floating House in Jingyuan. They are Uighur horses, with hooves flying like stars. They step on the grass beneath them and rolled straight through the ditch of the stream and pounced on the face of the opposite mountain shed.
Before the mountain sheds could open their eyes again, a neighing sound of war horses shocked the entire valley: Ming Huaiyi directly rode his horse, just like a flying dragon, crossing more than a foot of mountain stream, and then the other five cavalry jumped forward and backward.
"Ah!" Mingshantang screamed in pain and was shot in the chest by Ming Huaiyi.
Then Ming Huaiyi released the bridle and reins, bent his feet slightly, and shot with his bows left and right. He stepped on the formation and arrows flew everywhere. His brother and the little three states' shooting officials followed closely behind, and also pulled the strong bow and shot the current mountain shed one after another.
Although the mountain sheds are familiar with the terrain and are good at archery hunting, they are not enemies of the regular official army? In addition, Ming Huaiyi's flying cavalry arrived, and he was already scared to death. He ran around, rolling and crawling towards the top of the mountain along the miscellaneous trees and grass nests on the hillside.
"Shoot all the arrows and kill all these thieves!" The left-wing Shannan soldiers saw the six cavalry white grass army shooting officials, chasing dozens of mountain sheds and running around the mountains, and couldn't help but scream like thunder.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Shuwen, who was at the Manchuan Pass, was shocked when he saw the current fierce battle. However, the two sides were fighting and moving around the bushes in the mountains and fields. He couldn't see clearly, so he could only stare at the flag hanging on the big tree, hoping that Mo Liuhun would use this to send him a signal.
"Weiyi!" At this time, on the hill of Guandong, Manchuan, Ming Huaiyi pointed to the big tree and shouted.
Ming Weiyi, the youngest among the Ming brothers, flew away an arrow and shot the branches with a flag in the middle of the exclamation of the formation.
The red flag fell to the ground immediately.
Mo Liuhun was so scared that he hurriedly stuffed his hands into his mouth, and whistled sharply and long. The remaining mountain sheds scattered and ran along various paths and flew away along the mountain pavement of Chuanguan.
The sound of drums shook the sky, and in front of the north gate of Shangjin Fort, soldiers shouted in unison - Cai Fengyuan rode a horse, and came with a captive in a mountain shed in his hand.
This person was captured by Mi Changyuan, who was frightened to the point of being shot in the outpost just now.
When the prisoner was thrown into the fort, Gao Yue and Wan Qi both arrived, and the prisoner hurriedly begged for mercy.
"You are all children of mountains and rivers, how dare you resist the heavenly soldiers? I have a letter here to Li Shuwen, your shed, so that he can enlighten him as soon as possible, and not delay." Gao Yue took an arrow from the arrow bag next to him, folded the letter paper, tied it to the arrow shaft, and handed it to the prisoner.
The prisoner was still in shock and thanked him very much. He held the arrow and turned around and left Shangjin Fort again and ran towards Manchuan Pass.
Almost at the same time, Gao Gu, the Baicao Army's troops, also rode his horse. After dismounting, he clasped his fists to Gao Yue and Wanqi, saluting in turn, and then wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
"General Gao, what's the matter?" Gao Yue asked.
Gao Gu frowned, ready to speak, but turned his head away, full of regret and indescribable appearance.
Seeing this person's expression, Gao Yue immediately understood.
Because Gao Gu was a maid from the Gao family in Fang Gao family in Henan Province and was once sold as a slave, even though he is in charge of the army, he is still a little resentful about his background, especially in front of scholars, and is particularly cautious.
Does he have any ideas, different from my plan, and dare not say it?
Gao Yue stretched out his hand.
Gao Gu only felt a heat on his back, and waves of warm feeling kept pouring into his heart through the armor.
It turned out that Shao Yin was stroking his back.
"Huang Cen." Shao Yin specifically called out his young name, "What are you thinking that you can't tell Yue?"
At this time, Gao Gu's eyes were blurred by tears. He finally plucked up the courage and said, "I think that Gao Shaoyin doesn't have to persuade him to surrender to the mountain shed in Manchuan Pass!"
"Oh!" Gao Yue immediately handed his horse whip to Gao Gu, signaling him to gesture his thoughts on the sandy ground below.
Gao Gu drew the ground with the tip of the whip and explained to everyone in detail:
"North of Manchuan Pass is Shangzhou, Junzhou and Dengzhou. This place is connected to the capital by Wuguan Road. Now Li Xilie is entrenched in several counties such as Wugong and Lantian. Therefore, if Shaoyin wants to seize Manchuan Pass, there are two benefits. One is to keep the peace of mind and worry-free on the Jin Road, and the other is to threaten Li Xilie's retreat, which can pave the way for the future pacification of Shangyu and even Chang'an. Therefore, the rebel party in Huaixi will not sit idly by and watch the loss of Manchuan Pass."
Gao Yue pondered, "That is to say, Ben Yin's persuasion of surrender was actually futile."
"Tired!" Gao Gu was very scared and hurriedly accused him of crime.
Gao Yue hurriedly raised his hand to stop Gao Gu from continuing to panic and asked him directly, "Huang Cen according to your opinion, if you don't persuade him to surrender, how can you seize this pass?"
