Chapter 177: The Battle of Yazikou (1)

In addition to Yumen Pass, Yazikou is another remote path leading to the hinterland of Tanzhou. It is dangerous and difficult to walk. Few people pass through it from here. In the past, except for some smuggled goods passing here secretly, serious merchants would still choose to pass by Yumen Pass. Although they had to pay a part of the taxes, compared to the unknown risks in Yazikou, everyone was willing to spend money to buy safety. Later, Tanzhou set up a small checkpoint here, and more than a dozen soldiers stationed to guard this road. Even smuggled goods are not very popular. It is impossible to bring too many private goods on this road. If you want to take this road, you have to spend money to open up the joints of these soldiers. After a while, there is no profit at all, and this road becomes increasingly abandoned.

This time the Mongolian army was overwhelmed by a large force, Sima Ren remembered that there was such a small flaw, and sent a Tanzhou army, with a total of 3,000 people in one battalion. However, the road in Yazikou was too remote and steep, and not many people knew about it. Even many locals in Luzhou and Tanzhou didn't know about it, let alone the Mongolians from the desert that came from afar. If it weren't for the military map that had such a road marked, Sima Ren wouldn't have remembered it...

Based on the above reasons, Sima Ren did not pay much attention to it. The troops sent were not elite Tanzhou, but only a second-line army. In Sima Ren's opinion, it is enough to have such a unit stationed. Although it is a second-line army, in terms of equipment alone, it is far better than the Mongolian army.

The person who led this battalion was a guerrilla general named Jin Huai'en. Generally speaking, in the Great Vietnamese army, the commanders of a battalion were all fifth-rank Rangers, but Jin Huai'en's battalion was only a second-line unit, and his rank was also one level shorter.

He was stationed in this remote and deserted place. Jin Huai'en's mood was naturally not good either. Sitting in the big tent that had ignited several pots of charcoal fires, he still felt that it was so cold that it was uncomfortable. He seemed that the blood in his body was about to freeze. The hot food was served, and it would be so cold that it would be hard to swallow in a long time. This made him miss the warm big house, the delicious food, and the beautiful woman like flowers in Tanzhou City.

"Damn the blind man!" Kim Huai-eun hated the blind man who couldn't open his eyes. If it weren't for them, how could he have been sent to this place where birds wouldn't shit? Sitting in the two basins of fire, he took a sip of wine. Squinted his eyes, Kim Huai-eun fantasized about riding a tall horse, killing all over the battlefield, beating the blind man to howl.

In the bloody sunset, I stood proudly. Around my mount were filled with corpses of men. The magistrate was smiling and personally congratulating himself. Behind the magistrate were countless soldiers holding gold and silver rewards and extremely charming beauties.

Kim Wy-eun laughed silently, for a moment, and it seemed that he was not so cold.

"General, General Jin!" A lieutenant broke in.

Kim Wyen opened his eyes suddenly. He woke up from his dream and couldn't help but look at the captain who disturbed his dream with anger. "What's the matter? I'm so panicked. I keep telling you that as a soldier, you should collapse in front of the mountain and remain calm. When the flood comes, you must be as stable as a mountain. What kind of morality is like you now?"

The captain who broke in grinned. He was Jin Huai'en's confidant, so he naturally knew who his general was and was not afraid. "General, a happy event, someone from Tanzhou is here."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"General, the magistrate ordered us to evacuate, so we don't have to stay in this ghost place." The captain said happily.

"Really?" Kim Wy-eun was surprised and happy. "Have the Meng people retreated? No war is there anymore, can we go back?"

The captain shook his head, "There is still fighting over Yumen Pass. It's not clear what the specific situation is. Anyway, we are ordered to withdraw back to Tanzhou immediately."

Kim Wyen stood up excitedly, "It's great, this ghost place, I don't want to stay anymore. Go and invite the special envoy to come. You, now, let me tell my brothers to pack up and wait until I receive the order, we can start."

The captain smiled and said, "General, today's weather is so beautiful that I can't walk anymore. At most, it will be dark. It's so dangerous to walk this road at night. Why do you have to wait until dawn tomorrow?"

Kim Wyen rubbed his hands and looked out from the opened tent door. It was indeed getting late.

"Oh, time passes so quickly. In this way, let the brothers pack up what they can pack first. When tomorrow dawns, we will set off and return to Tanzhou earlier, and we will suffer less sin."

The captain smiled and said, "Does the general miss the beautiful concubine at home?"

Jin Huai-eun glanced at him sideways, "***, things are getting more and more presumptuous, be careful that I will hold your mouth."

The captain smiled and retreated, "General, please spare me. In fact, the young man also missed the little ladies in Yihonglou very much. Now, I won't have to suffer."

Both of them were laughing, but none of them thought, what if Meng Renzhen came from Yazikou? In their opinion, this remote place was so difficult that Meng Ren would not know, but secondly, even if he knew, he would not take the risk to attack here. Because it was really not suitable for cavalry combat.

At the mouth of Yazi, all the soldiers were cheering and couldn't wait to pack up their things. Except for the things they wanted to carry, the others were tied and packed. Bales of arrows were loaded onto the cart. The huge crossbows were dismantled into parts. The small stone cannons were also removed from the originally simple and crude position. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't fall asleep. After staying in this ghost place for more than a month, everyone was almost crazy.

Fortunately, this deadly day is finally over.

Indeed, this kind of day is about to end, but what they never thought was that they would really kill them.

Not far from Yazikou, I saw the bright lights in the opposite barracks. Although it was several miles away, the sounds in the barracks could be heard clearly. Looking at Han Zhong in a daze, he was a little surprised and puzzled, "Yi Wang, are we discovered our whereabouts? Why are the other party's military barracks like this? How can we attack in this way? If we fight hard, the other party will occupy the favorable terrain, I'm afraid we will be very rare."

Han Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at the military camp opposite, and was also surprised. The lights in the military camp opposite made the nearby lights illuminate. Under such circumstances, it was indeed impossible to launch a surprise attack.

"I have to go and have a look!" Han Zhong tightened his armor, "What the hell is the other party doing?"

Tuoli looked at Han Zhong in surprise. To be honest, in his heart, he didn't look down on this Yi King. In his opinion, Han Zhong was a fearful devil, so he immediately announced his surrender after the Aslan army was approaching. Now he actually saw that the fearful devil in his target was going to personally detect the enemy situation. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Yi King, you are a commander general and shoulder the heavy responsibility of command. If you can't go, please let me go!"

Han Zhong shook his head, "General Tuoli, why do you have me know the army opposite? I just need to take a look and you will know what they are doing?"

"Then I'll go with you!" said Tuli.

Han Zhong did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Since General Tuli is willing, of course I have no objection. Han Jiang, restrain the troops, hide on the spot, and wait for my order."

A military man walked up and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, adoptive father!"

Under Han Zhong, five thousand soldiers were led by his four adopted sons, namely Han Jiang, Han He, Han Hu and Han Hai, who were all brave and warlike generals. Han Zhong's strict control of these five thousand generals was mostly implemented by the four of them. In particular, Han Jiang was both wise and brave, and was the second most outstanding figure among the Han family army.

The two of them took only dozens of elite guards and sneaked into Yazikou silently. When they entered and found that they were only about a mile away from the other military camp, they had not yet encountered a patrolling army, nor did they find any secret whistle. On the high-rise guardhouse in the other military camp, the soldiers who were supposed to be on guard were also missing.

"King Yi, what are they doing? Is there any conspiracy? It's not an empty camp that lures us in and then ambushes?" Tuli remembered that Princess Yardan had given her a book of Dayue soldiers, and she mentioned such a plan. "The princess once said that Dayue people are extremely cunning in using soldiers and rarely fight head-on, but use more tricks. We have to be careful."

Han Zhong listened to the movements in the other party's camp, and after a while, he burst into laughter. This was a man who had seen soldiers, but he was just fighting wars. Sometimes there were so many conspiracies and tricks there, and the movements in the camp were not pretended at all. The other party was indeed not prepared at all. For some reason, the other party completely gave up the vigilance that an army should have.

With a squinted eyes, he suddenly saw a series of wheelbarrows gathering in the open space in the opposite military camp. Moreover, more and more soldiers were gathering some things here. Han Zhong suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, remembering why this was for.

"General Tuli, we are lucky." He said softly.

"Good luck?" Tuoli asked in confusion.

"It seems that the Tanzhou army stationed here has received the order to retreat and is preparing to deport the camp. They are packing up their things and will leave tomorrow as soon as the day is dawn. Now is their weakest time. They are now a beautiful woman with red sperm and let us ravage her." Han Zhong said with a grim smile.

Tuli suddenly became excited, "That's true?"

Han Zhong laughed, "It's true that the internal fighting in Dayue is almost time to meet each other in person. Mr. Mole's intelligence is completely accurate, and he is ready to take action!"

Han Zhong stood up and strode back towards the army behind him. (To be continued...)
