Chapter 67: Worship the Immortals
Yang Feng's army, who was familiar with the way, stumbled and fell into the valley as they crossed the mountain pass, causing the entire army to be nearly lost, scattering hundreds of scout riders, but still unable to find the way to the front of the army.
The Baibo army had many complaints because of the long march, but now they have lost their way again, and all the generals have resentment against Yanbei...... Their distance was already far away, and the former general also set a date for them, and seeing that they were almost out of date, they were still lost in the valley and difficult to turn around, although they did not worry about the head of the neck, but they expected that it would be difficult to have any good results if they violated military law.
Sometimes people's hearts are strange, originally they were their own kings in the White Wave Valley, and no one could restrain them. Now that Yang Feng led the people to join Yanbei and was shown as a general, the embarrassment of missing the deadline did not make them spill their grievances on Yang Feng, but complained about Yanbei who restrained them.
The roads traveled by the soldiers and horses of each department were different, and the people of Baibo Valley were originally the fastest marchers, but now they had been circling in the valley for two days, and they were expected to become the slowest ones, lagging behind the Black Mountain Army and the galloping soldiers and horses of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang.
"General, good manners, why do we want to belong to Youzhou, the brothers have never traveled such a long way, and they are ...... I'm afraid that I will not be punished and will chill the hearts of my brothers. Li Le was close to Yang Feng in the group of commanders in Baibo Valley, and this time he sent troops to obey his wishes, and led Captain Baibo to lead his troops to aid Yanbei, and he also had the intention of belonging. But the situation is different now, Xi Di sat in the valley and said dejectedly: "It's better to stay in Baibo!" ”
The Baibo group of thieves has no experience in fighting thousands of miles, they have been circulating all over the east of the river, taking advantage of the opportunity of the chaotic princes of the Kwantung region to take care of themselves to develop and grow, if it is true to say that the soldiers are fierce, even the Niu Fu who led the elite of Liangzhou to crusade against them in the past is not an opponent, but long-distance running is not their strong point, and it is a great drain on morale.
What's more, this battle was not their war in the first place. In the past, they were able to withstand the attack of the elite soldiers in Liangzhou in order to save their lives, but now they are controlled by others, and their inner feelings are different.
Yang Feng was also frustrated with such a situation in his heart, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation in the first battle for Yanbei, but his subordinates and brothers all looked depressed, so he naturally had to fight his spirit and said, "It doesn't have to be like this." General Yan is powerful in the north, and it is a matter of time before he pacifies and merges the state, and even if we gather the white waves, it will be difficult to stop its general trend, so it is better to return as soon as possible. ”
Saying that, Yang Feng smiled again and said, "Even if General Yan is not allowed to wait for us in the future, he can still occupy Luoyang to welcome the emperor...... General Yan made the emperor return to the east, which is also an opportunity for us to wait. Now that the two generals Han and Hu are stationed in Hedong, looking at Luoyang from afar, it is also an opportunity for us to wait. ”
Hearing Yang Feng say this, Li Le's face looked better. In the final analysis, even if Yanbei wants to punish them, at most he will lead the troops back to Baibo in a fit of anger, which is not a big deal!
At this moment, several horsemen rushed back from outside the valley, and the leader bowed down after seeing Yang Fenghou and said: "General, we should go east, General Yan is in the middle of the Jundu Mountain, and I will wait in the west, at most half a day's journey can be reached by fine horsemen, and the foot soldiers can also arrive tonight." ”
Yang Feng and Li Le cheered up when they heard this, it would not be considered a miss to arrive tomorrow, Li Le hurriedly said: "How is it, but I found the people in the mountains and knew the way?" ”
The cavalry and the commander of the Bai Bo tribe have old friendships, and they talk a lot of casually, nodding and saying with a wry smile: "When the subordinates saw the people, they were rushing to the military capital mountain to worship God, and the wild people in the mountains all knew that the Xianbei army Kou Youzhou, and the general of Wai Yan was in the military capital mountain, and the soldiers and horses were pulling the ground and the sky, and it was not far away. ”
"Worship God? Isn't there a war going on? ”
The cavalry nodded and said: "Yesterday at noon, Xianbei attacked the camp in the valley of the military capital, and shouted for a while, and the people said that they saw the immortals dancing and playing drum music on the top of the mountain, and the elders in the township said conclusively that General Yan garrisoned the army and had the help of the gods in the mountains, and they wanted to worship the gods, and they were grateful to the Taiyi God for protecting General Yan and protecting the Han people. ”
"Talking in the countryside, even the elders don't know anything, and they mistake it for a war drum to be an immortal drum......" Yang Feng smiled, suddenly froze on his face, and looked at Li Le with the horror in the other party's eyes: "War drums? The general beat the drums! ”
Obviously, it has not yet reached the appointed time, but Yanbei played the war drums, obviously...... The situation is critical!
Thinking of this, Yang Feng didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately turned over and spread his guards around, calling out his subordinates to select elite horses and march immediately!
……
Yang Feng was so nervous, he rushed to the side of the Jundu Mountain one day earlier than them, Liu Bao of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, and Huang Long and Luo Shi, the captains of the Black Mountain Military Academy, didn't want him to be so anxious. Liu Bao's Hun riders arrived early, and he roughly knew about the situation of Yanbei's drumming yesterday, and the messenger sent to Jundu Mountain also came back to tell him to stay still and wait for the next drumming, so he was not only in a hurry, but also stopped the Montenegrin army that arrived this morning.
Huanglong and Luo City camped not far from yesterday, and at noon before the meal was made, there were scouts thirty or forty miles away who heard the drumming music of the people in the valley who shook through the sky, and reported back to Huanglong, and the Black Mountain Department hurriedly marched. Although the distance was not far, the route they took was all mountain roads, and it was inconvenient to turn around, so they hurried and hurried for a whole day to reach the back of the Xianbei people, and were about to launch an attack without saying a word when they were stopped by the Huns who rushed in.
They all thought that Yanbei in the valley would beat the drum when it was in danger, after all, they all knew that Yanbei had no more than 8,000 soldiers on his hands, not to mention that there was a rout on the bank of the Fushui River before, and Zhang Nian's lieutenant department was almost chased and killed by the Xianbei people. With only four or five thousand troops, against an army of 30,000, even if the land is fully occupied, there is still a lack of people and people, how can they win the battle?
As a result, when Yanbei's riders bypassed the valley at noon today and crossed the sheep intestine trail to tell them about yesterday's battle situation and the next arrangement, both Liu Bao and Huang Long almost threw their eyes to the ground!
General Yan's subordinate army Sima Xu Huang, yesterday led 1,300 warriors as the lead to resist the Yuyan Department in the valley, defeated the right flank, asked the general to beat the drum, the drum did not stop; After breaking the attack on the Chinese army, the general was asked to beat the drum, the drum sounded, and the battalion soldiers were exhausted, killing Hu Shuai Yuyan below 50 and 4, and the troops were 7,000.
Yanbei sent a message to them to take advantage of the shelter of the wind and sand on the periphery to make a good encirclement, and wait for Yang Feng to lead his troops to arrive. At present, there is nothing to do in the valley, rolling stones and trees block the mountain road, Kebineng is busy moving the road, there will be no big battle in a day or two, let them wait for Bai Boshuai Yang Feng to arrive and send someone from the sheep intestine into the valley to inform Yanbei, and then listen to the drums to launch a general attack from all sides.
Liu Bao secretly smacked his tongue when he listened, rubbed his beard under his chin and asked Huang Long: "How can you listen, this battle is a big victory won by Xu Gongming, that Hedong official?" ”
He remembered Xu Huang, wasn't he Yang Feng's cronies, he read a letter to them on weekdays, and his only combat exploit was to help Yang Feng move the rescue soldiers and block Niu Fu's back road...... "Such a small official, how did he become a general in the hands of General Yan?" ”
Liu Bao shook his head slightly, he didn't know why, but he knew one thing.
His old Han brother Yang Feng seems to have lost a lot!
