Chapter 1005: Deep in Amber Hill

Xiao Tian and the three disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect prepared to ride their horses to Amber Hill. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, the heavens are not beautiful, and a few thunderstorms ...... "rumbling" seem to indicate the approach of a storm......

"Look at it like this, it's going to rain heavily......" Before leaving, Xiao Tian looked up at the cloudy sky, estimated and said, "I'm really not at ease, Jia'er went to Amber Hill alone......"

"It's not far from Amber Hill here...... Lao Jiu walked to his side and reminded, "Miss Su went from Dingcheng to Amber Hill last night, and you should have reached it almost at the same time when you set off from here today...... I think you should be able to make it to the ...... before dark."

"Ah, we'll do it as soon as possible—" Xiao Tian replied confidently, and subconsciously tugged at the horse's reins.

"Brother Xiao......" However, Lu Jing seemed to have something to say, and walked up to Xiao Tian's war horse with a heavy heart.

Xiao Tian seemed to have guessed something, and before Lu Jing spoke, he asked faintly uneasily: "Sister Jing, I always feel that there is something strange behind the matter......

"You noticed it too, didn't you?" Lu Jing's eyes were a little more understanding.

"Well, what makes me the most puzzling and unsettling is ......," Xiao Tian said with a cautious expression, "The internal response of our army in the enemy camp seems to be too powerful...... No, it should be said that it is too bold, and he can accurately understand the movements of Chen Shijin, the enemy's commander, and can also pass it on to us at the first time...... The opponent is Chen Shijin, the most difficult enemy, but the internal response of our army can be undetected from beginning to end, and the information can be transmitted back accurately......"

"Things seem to be going too well...... Lu Jing followed, "Since our army first set out to Tongguan, Neiying seems to be able to send back the information we urgently need at a critical moment every time...... It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I think this internal response seems too 'powerful'......"

"I remember that the internal response of the enemy army was arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang himself......" Xiao Tian reminded.

"Ah, the identity and number of people are completely unknown, even we don't know......" Lu Jing continued to ponder, "Who is it, and what is the sacred place that Zhu Yuanzhang arranged? Ask for the enemy's intelligence, and the response is on time, even if our army's plan to feint this time, counterattack to capture the Mast City, he can just send back the information on time, and let Sister Su rush to Amber Hill to assassinate Chen Shijin...... It should be said that this should be powerful, or Zhu Yuanzhang is powerful......" The more I thought about it, the more uneasy Lu Jing felt in her heart.

"Anyway, supporting Jia'er is the most important thing at the moment, and I don't have time to think about these ......things for the time being," Xiao Tian held the reins of the horse, turned his head and prepared to leave, "Sister Jing, you and Brother Tang Zhan stay in the army, keep an eye on me......"

"I don't need you to say this, I know ......" Lu Jing smiled slightly, and then instructed, "In short, assassinating Chen Shijin and his party must be a lot more dangerous, not only Sister Su, you and her junior brothers and sisters, you must also be careful-"

"Ah, don't worry, I'll protect them...... After instructing, Xiao Tian turned around and rode away with Xu Shuang and the others to go to Amber Hill.

"You must be careful...... Lu Jing muttered silently in her heart......

Tongguan border, the Ming army barracks, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal expedition to the main army, has approached the narrow pass......

Before the news of the fall of the vanguard army camp came, Xiao Tian, Lu Jing and others were missing, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his "plan" had been completed, but soon after he learned that the vanguard army counterattacked and captured the two "tiger teeth" of Macheng and Dingcheng, Zhu Yuanzhang began to worry alone again......

"The news is true, the vanguard army to which the last general belongs, with the strategy of feint defeat, won a big victory in the surprise attack last night, successfully conquered the mast city and Dingcheng, and opened the passage for the Tongguan battle situation......" In the camp tent, Chang Yuchun, who sent back the news, reported truthfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The two passes are both over, and then as long as the main force of our army moves westward, it will meet with the vanguard army and take Tongguan in one go, and victory is just around the corner!"

"Is it, the vanguard army has 'feinted' this time, and even I have been deceived......" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be very happy, and said with a cold face, "By the way, the military camp fell before the feint, and it was rumored that General Xiao Tian and the army division and others were missing, is there any news now?"

"There is no ...... for the time being," Chang Yu Chunyu reported, "but the last general thought to himself, such a clever plan to lure the enemy was not planned by Lu Jing's army division, according to the last general's opinion, the news that they would meet or hide the army, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be transmitted back to ......."

"Yes, apart from Lu Jing, I can't think of a second person......" Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly, remembering the order of the "crusade" that night, Zhu Yuanzhang was faintly uncertain......

(in recall)......

On the night that Su Jia was in a coma, Lu Jing was sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp to discuss the war......

"The emperor and the last general are the ones who talk about it, and they don't have to beat around the bush and play polite...... What is the emperor's purpose, just say it, summoning the last general to the camp tonight should not only be to report on the war that has ended, right?" Lu Jing didn't want to "go around in circles" with Zhu Yuanzhang anymore, so he said indifferently and bluntly.

"Okay, just like Qing Zhi said, you and I are both Ming people, don't talk darkly......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to think of walking a few steps closer, looking at Lu Jing's unruly expression, and asked in a cold voice, "Although I am wary of you, I really appreciate Qing's intelligence - the army division is the smartest woman I have ever seen in my life, although I have countless strategists in the army, but compared to war, Qing is the most reassured...... The battle of Tongguan cannot be delayed, and I want to take it quickly and crusade against it. But the two sides know each other at war, and Qing's troops have already fought each other, and I want to know the situation of Mengyuan's troops......"

"Hasn't the emperor already installed the internal response? The details of the enemy's formation can be understood at all times......" At this time, Lu Jing didn't say it directly, and asked in a rhetorical voice, "In that case, why do you need to report what the last general said?"

"What should come from the inside, only superficial information, whether it can really 'prescribe the right medicine', you have to have a real battle......," Zhu Yuanzhang said patiently, "Qing's troops are fighting, it should be agreed." And intelligence alone is not enough, what I need is an accurate and decisive judgment - I believe in the decision of the king, so I ask more questions......"

"What the emperor said, the last general can't afford it, since the emperor wants, then the last general will follow the road to ......" Lu Jing reasoned out, summed up the battle situation in the past few days, and then continued, "As the emperor knows, there are three generals in the enemy army - Chen Shijin, Tong Chen and Sima Hanyi, all of whom are from the famous people in the rivers and lakes, and the generals should not be underestimated...... However, Chen Shijin has been stationed at Tongguan for nearly three years, and his general position has not changed, which shows his military talent; in addition, Chen Shijin has expected the incident of attacking the grain trough in the north, and he personally led the troops to ambush our army -- this person will definitely be a great disaster!"

"Is the intelligence of the enemy general...... Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a while and continued to ask, "Then what countermeasures do you have?"

"There is no countermeasure for the time being, but there will be no change in the planning idea...... Lu Jing is very firm in his thoughts, and he is categorical, "That is to find a good opportunity to defeat the three enemy generals one by one, and the enemy army will collapse without attacking!"

Lu Jing said it right and accurately, which is exactly the same as what Sima Hanyi said......

"It's easier said than done—since it's so planned, can the current strength of Yiqing's troops be achieved?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Can't-" Lu Jing still said bluntly without hesitation, "The three generals of the enemy army each lead their troops, and it is difficult for our army to patrol under the advantage of the dangerous situation in Tongguan...... In addition, before this battle, the enemy assassins attacked our camp and stole the secret artifact 'Tongguan Border Defense Map', and our army lost the initiative even more when it was unclear, and it was a fantasy to assassinate the enemy's main general head-on——"

"Is there no way?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask coldly.

"It's not nothing, but you must use clever tricks, even dangerous trick......s," Lu Jing still said calmly, "There are two ways to crusade against Tongguan - either assassinate the enemy general, or recapture the 'Tongguan Border Defense Map'...... The only bottleneck in the plan now is how to cross the barrier of natural danger in Tongguan and connect these two plans in series......"

"What Qing Zhi means, is it that I can't think of a way now......" Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was pulsating faintly, as if he was considering something, he walked to Lu Jing's side, glanced at it and asked coldly.

"I will always come up with a solution, but it will take time to ......" Lu Jing didn't think too much, said too deeply, and completely fell into strategic considerations, and didn't pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's speculation for a while.

However, there was a sudden "change" on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and he couldn't help but smile coldly at Lu Jing......

"Since the army division said so, then I will give Qing time...... Zhu Yuanzhang fixed his mind and said coldly, "I will give Qing ten days, let Qing come up with a plan, and take Tongguan!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jing was immediately shocked -- 10 days is too short! Tongguan is located in a dangerous situation, and the previous battle was a fluctuation in the morale of the army, and there is no first opportunity, and it is difficult for the enemy to deal with it, and it is even more difficult for the remnants of the vanguard army to take Tongguan within 10 days.

And at this moment, Lu Jing realized that this was a trap that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately set for himself, allowing himself to fall into the trap of bondage......

Looking at Lu Jing's panicked eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the task of this battle was particularly arduous, and he wanted to secretly remove Lu Jing, the "thorn in the eye", which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......

(In reality)......

"Ten days to take Tongguan and capture the enemy's general's strategy, has she succeeded......" Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Lu Jing's "ghost plan", and his heart became more and more uneasy, "It's so difficult, you can still succeed...... Miss Lu, you are really the person I fear the most......"

"Your Majesty ......" Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's slightly hesitant expression, Chang Yuchun asked with concern.

"By the way, it should be smooth to be planted in the enemy's army, right?" However, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly put aside the topic and asked instead.

"It's going well, Neiying's identity has not been exposed, and there should be intelligence back soon......," Chang Yuchun 1510 said.

"Okay, the victory or defeat of the Battle of Tongguan, he is the key, the vanguard army successfully conquered the Mast City and Dingcheng, now is the time for a general attack......" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes must be determined, as if he was determined in his heart, and ordered solemnly, "Order, tonight the army will go to Tongguan!"

"The last general obeys the order-" Chang Yuchun Zhuangzhi responded, then turned around and left the deployment army......

The battle of Tongguan has reached the moment of decisive victory......

In the dark night, the Amber Hill Pass ......

Amber Hill was originally a border defense place set up in Tongguan, but because of the battle in the past, it was attacked by the vanguard army Lu Ling and Qin Yu, and it has been deserted and undefended so far, and there are only a few Mengyuan soldiers left. After all, the area of the peak and valley from the narrow mouth to the Chengguan is rugged, the cavalry is difficult to travel, and the distance is long-distance, and the art of war is reasonable, which is not suitable for a protracted battle at all, and both the Ming army and the Yuan army are unwilling to pay too much attention. So that after the defeat of the Japanese armory in a sneak attack, the Mengyuan side no longer set up more defenses, and the Ming army no longer had the intention of attacking, and it seemed to have become a deserted place.

However, it seems that Amber Hill is not without incident, just a few days ago, Zheng Yuhua, a disciple of Chasing the Wind, infiltrated the enemy city alone, gambled with Chen Shijin to fight, and agreed to fight for life and death tomorrow in the peak and valley of Amber Hill......

Zheng Yuhua also came as promised, and the night before the decisive battle, he came to this "desolate land......

"Rumble...... Rumbling ...... "Dark clouds, thunder rolling, the calm before the storm, but still implying bursts of murder. Zheng Yuhua held a long sword and walked alone on the desolate ramp, in order to make a decision with Chen Shijin for tomorrow, he had already made up his mind to die.

"Chen Shijin, I will definitely defeat you and fulfill the agreement with Mo Tianxing...... Zheng Yuhua still cares about his past grievances, "Mogu First Battle" defeated Su Jia, which can be regarded as "revenge" for his dead lover Hongyun, and then as long as he defeats Chen Shijin, he can complete Mo Tianxing's entrustment, have a chance to fight with him, and finally defeat Mo Tianxing and avenge his biological parents.

"After defeating the little junior sister and Chen Shijin, it will be you in the end, Mo Tianxing ......" Zheng Yuhua clenched the "legacy sword" left by Hongyun to himself, and muttered secretly, "I will kill you with my own hands in the end to avenge my dead father and mother......"

With the determination of revenge, Zheng Yuhua continued to walk in the direction of the peak of Amber Hill, getting closer and closer to his destination......

"What person?" However, Zheng Yuhua's appearance naturally attracted the attention of the Meng Yuan soldiers stationed here. Although there were not many soldiers guarding the guards, they didn't dare to relax after all, and when they saw Zheng Yuhua coming alone inexplicably, they thought it was an enemy assassin, so they drew their swords to block them.

There were only thirty or fifty people in front of him, a group of rabble, and Zheng Yuhua didn't pay any attention to it. Raising his head slightly, he stared intently, and the sword light came out......

"Ahh............h

"Hmph, a group of guys that I can't look down on......" Zheng Yuhua muttered, without looking at him, stepped past the corpses of the Mengyuan army, and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain alone, leaving a cold and murderous back under the thunderclouds......

However, Zheng Yuhua didn't know that the scene of his ruthless killing of the enemy was seen by others who were secretly lurking in the shadows of Amber Hill......

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Zheng Yuhua to come here...... "There are two people lurking, it is none other than Mo Tianxing's eyeliner who has been monitoring the movements of the disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect since the Battle of Tongguan, including Chen Shijin, "I sent a secret letter to Chen Shijin before, reminding him of the duel with the little junior sister...... From this point of view, Senior Brother Zheng will come here, most likely to find Chen Shijin......"

"Looks like it's going to take place here, the life-and-death duel between Chen Shijin and Zheng Yuhua ......," the other person also said secretly......
