The trail is winding and rugged, with narrow roads stretching to the end of the eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jiang Pengji rode on Xiaobai's back quite easily, as an excellent descendant of the Brake Land and Northern Xinjiang War Horses, Xiaobai's endurance and weight-bearing ability are extremely strong, and every step is steady and easy, compared to others, they seem a little embarrassed.

"The mountain road to Kinmen County is so rugged, I don't know how difficult the road to Fenghu County will be......"

Yang Si also secretly complained, as a strategist, he can enjoy special treatment.

Most of the other soldiers were on foot, and he could still ride a horse without walking on his legs, but the bumpy back still made him suffer.

Jiang Pengji saw that his face was pale, with tiredness that could not be dissipated, and then he was even more out of breath when he looked at the jujube red horse he stepped on.

She took the initiative to suggest, "Why don't you come and ride Xiaobai, look at you like this, I don't think you have reached Kinmen County yet, you are tired first." ”

Yang Si was a little moved, but when he thought that the horses with spirits were all temperamental, he was a little cowardly.

"It's not going to take me off my horse?"

Yang Si nervously grabbed the reins, if he wasn't afraid that Xiaobai would be uncomfortable, he still wanted to hold the horse's neck in order to be safe.

Surprisingly, Xiaobai not only did not throw Yang Si off the horse, but continued to hurry relentlessly.

"Don't deliberately cause trouble, Xiaobai's temperament is still good. Jiang Pengji changed into Yang Si's previous horse and controlled the horse with the reins, "Fortunately, the opponent this time is the Red Lotus Sect, if it is a smarter enemy, I don't dare to take this mountain road." ”

She rode on horseback and looked around at the terrain and laughed and teased.

Walking the mountain road is indeed a strange move, and it is a miracle to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy without knowing it, whether it is a sneak attack or something else.

However, there are risks and benefits.

The mountain path is not only suitable for them to sneak up on the enemy, but also for the enemy to ambush them.

Xiaobai walked very steadily, which was very different from the previous bumps, which made Yang Si feel a little better.

He said, "The situation is different, the lord marches quickly, and even if the enemy has the intention to ambush, he will not be able to catch up in time." ”

According to Yang Si's estimate, when they had just captured the small city, the high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Sect had just received the news that they had arrived in the small city.

It will take time to pass on the order, and by the time they react and prepare for an ambush, our side will already pass through the mountain road and capture Kinmen County.

Jiang Pengji's pace of fighting is fast, but how many people can do this?

Most people's energy can only be cared for in one place, and by the time they receive the news, the best fighter has been missed.

Why are good strategists so sought after?

Not only because they can win a thousand miles in a world where information transmission is backward, but more importantly, they think more comprehensively and thoughtfully than ordinary people. It's like playing chess, ordinary people take one step and take the next step, and those of them who play scheming, one step is counted as ten steps.

As Yang Si said, although the mountain road leading to Kinmen County is long, the slope is relatively gentle, and it takes less physical effort than expected.

Jiang Pengji's soldiers, which one doesn't take weight-bearing training as a daily routine?

For ordinary troops, it would take three or four hours for all of this mountain road to pass, but for them it would only take just over an hour.

At the same time, the troops of Kinmen County have also been urgently transferred to Fenghu County for defense.

The Red Lotus Sect discharged several scout teams, and sure enough, they found suspicious people, and they judged that this was an enemy scout attacking an outpost.

The scholar clenched his fists nervously, and the room was burning with charcoal fire, so hot that his palms oozed hot sweat.

"Sure enough—the willow thief's target is Fenghu County—" The scholar nervously paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, as if he was about to rub a hole in the ground, and he said, "Go and investigate again, and report back quickly as soon as there is a situation! ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for another voice to come from outside the hall, and the Red Lotus Sect found traces of scout activities at the exit of the mountain road in Fenghu County.

Every once in a while, someone would come back and forth, which made the scholar nervous.

Liu Xi sent a large number of scouts, what does this mean?

This means that the number of troops brought over by them is huge, and it is very likely that there are more than 10,000!

"Newspaper—"

"Newspaper—"

"Newspaper—"

The messenger kept going back and forth, and every time he received a reply, the tension in the scholar's heart increased.

In the end, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, went out to look at the sky outside, and said angrily, "Reinforcements from Kinmen County haven't come yet?"

The messenger hung his head and replied timidly, "There is still half a day to go." ”

Semidiurnal?

So slow?

The scholar was angry and anxious, he never thought that time would pass so slowly.

He is like an ant on a hot pan, and for him, every minute and every second is torment.

Now, he only hoped that Liu Xi would walk slowly, and that it would be better to wait for their reinforcements to enter the city.

Otherwise, he really didn't have the confidence to use his current soldiers and horses to fight against Jiang Pengji.

"Where is Mr. An? Go and invite Mr. An to discuss countermeasures. ”

Thinking of An Xian, the scholar had a backbone, and hurriedly asked the servant around him to invite An Xian.

The little guy ran fast on two legs, but An Yu was no longer in Kinmen County at this time.

"Do you know where Mr. Ann went?"

The scholar didn't think anything was wrong, although An Ming was gone, the brothers who had a good relationship with An Ming were still there, and the scholar didn't doubt it.

The little guy replied, "The little one asked carefully, and Mr. An seems to have gone to Honglian County overnight. ”

Shusheng wrinkled his brows, not understanding what An Xuan was doing in Honglian County at this time.

However, he didn't dwell on the issue for long, as another messenger found the scout's tracks.

What made the scholars even more heartbroken was that the place where the scouts found them was getting closer and closer to Kinmen County.

In other words, when these scouts find out the situation, Liu Xi's main force will attack.

Thinking of the reinforcements that had only arrived in half a day, the scholar was irritated and wanted to grab his hair in a bun.

Because of the frequent activities of the scouts and spying on their situation, the scholar never thought that this was just a bait laid by Jiang Pengji.

Under his arrangement, a group of scouts were sent out to scare (tease) the Red Lotus Sect.

As for the main forces?

By this time, they had already passed through the mountain road, through a vast white snowfield, and were speeding towards Kinmen County.

Chengde County belongs to the northern region, and the snow is heavy in winter.

Except for the official roads, the snow in other places is not cleared, and it is usually waited for the weather to warm up and let it melt on its own.

Jiang Pengji had already asked everyone in the pioneer camp to prepare plain linen cloth and drape it on their bodies as a cover. Today's weather is very good, the snow is shiny and shiny, and the guards at the city gate will not stare at the snow outside the city for a long time in order not to hurt their eyes.

The garrison of Kinmen County was almost completely transferred, and only 3,000 old and weak soldiers were left.

Now that the sun is in full bloom, the reflection makes their eyes very uncomfortable, and it is freezing outside, and there are very few Red Lotus Sects on the city wall who are seriously guarding.

Naturally, they did not notice that a pioneer battalion of more than 4,000 people was quietly approaching.
