After retreating into the belly of the mountain, Wuding did not relax, and arranged for Cheng Laohu to lead people to guard against the possible pursuit of the officers and soldiers, although he knew that it was impossible for Changwei's army to pursue it so quickly, but he always had to make a show. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of him is a new scout team led by Tang Jinyi, who is strong in martial arts and good at tracking down and disappearing, Tang Jinyi's ruthless methods of dealing with horse-faced men make the officers fearful; while Chang Wei's generosity makes the officers and soldiers grateful; coupled with the soldiers of Wuding and the courage of Cheng Laohu, the morale of this team that has changed the middle and high level officers in a short period of time has not declined, and the only thing to worry about is that all the newly promoted middle-level officers are not familiar with the new posts, and their ability to command operations is not enough.

This is also a matter of course, they were originally captains who commanded 100 people, but now they have become captains who command 1,000 people, and their positions have increased by one level, but their subordinates have increased tenfold. Commanding a thousand people is definitely not the same as commanding a hundred, and it is normal for combat power to decline. Fortunately, there is no need to fight now, as long as you withdraw from the mountainside and enter Taiping Town, an important town of the White Lotus Sect in the north, you can retrain and improve your combat strength.

Wu Ding pointed to the north direction and said: "My lord, there is a fifty-mile road from here to Taiping Town, and it is slow to walk without lights at night, and it is estimated that it will only arrive at dawn." Shall we speed things up?"

Chang Wei thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No need, there are too many things that happened this night, and rushing too quickly will make the soldiers nervous, and maybe there will be chaos." Or send more scouts to pay attention to the movements before and after, and send them tightly outside and inside, so that everyone can relax. ”

Wu Ding responded with a "yes" and was about to turn around and leave, but saw He Wenlie in front of him hurriedly rushing to the front and reported: "My lord, there is a large group of officers and soldiers in the northeast who are approaching?"

At this time, Chang Wei suddenly remembered the information provided by the horse-faced man, "Officers and soldiers, could it be Zhao Yan's people?"

"Yes, the other party is approaching quickly, and the Dongfang army is investigating the details. ”

It's really troublesome now, Zhao Yan and himself are both court officials. Let's fight, when the truth is revealed in the future, it will be difficult to get along, not to mention, it is very likely that they will be impeached by the imperial court and the imperial history, saying anything about cruelty to friendly troops; if we don't fight, the other party will not let go of this 'defeated thief army' from Weishan County, but they don't know Chang Wei; hide or escape, these 20,000 or 30,000 people, such a big movement is impossible to hide. That's what you can't do!

"My lord, what should I do? To fight or not to fight?" He Wenlie was not only a little anxious when he saw Chang Wei groaning.

Chang Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly, the young man still has little knowledge and a small pattern, is there any other way not to fight in this case?

When He Wenlie saw his expression, he hurriedly said, "I know that there is a path between the valleys that leads to Taiping Town, but!"

"What?"

"Really?"

Chang Wei and Wu Ding exclaimed in unison.

"Yes, I'm a patrol team that likes to run around, and last month, when I was on vacation, I went into the mountains with bows and arrows with two brothers to see if we could catch wild animals, but we got lost two miles northwest of here. Those who turned left and right actually crossed Beishan and followed a small river to the vicinity of Taiping Town. It's just that the mountain road is too small, and it will take a lot of time for the 30,000 army to pass through. ”

"Great! Jian'an, immediately give the order: the rear team will become the front team, and the army will retreat, Wen Lie, you will lead the way in front. ”

"Yes!"

"Let Cheng Laohu select a group of elite soldiers who dare to fight and hide behind the valley mouth!"

"Yes!"

The order was conveyed like flowing water, and the soldiers quickly turned around and followed He Wenlie into the valley in the northwest direction, but Chang Wei quickly went to the northeast to find Tang Jinyi's traces, and ran for two quarters of an hour to fifteen miles away, and there were no White Lotus Army soldiers here.

After advancing five miles, he saw Tang Jinyi and other 10 or 20 people on a small hill, Chang Wei first typed a code, and only after getting a response did he approach and ask: "How is it? How many officers and soldiers are there?"

Tang Jinyi led him to the southeast of Shanbao and walked about twenty steps, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a long team of black pressure through the starlight Changwei, the scale was no less than 10,000 people, there were more than 1,000 bird gunners in front of the team, and there were more than a dozen tiger squatting cannons in the middle.

"Good fellow, if you hadn't found out early and crashed head-on like this, we would have been scattered. ”

Tonight, after the White Lotus Army saw the power of the muskets and artillery of the Volunteer Battalion, they had already become frightened birds, and at this time, they would definitely be defeated as soon as they encountered a row of muskets and artillery.

Tang Jinyi said gloomily: "Although the troops have begun to retreat, they will definitely collide with each other according to the speed of the other party, and it seems that there will inevitably be a vicious battle." ”

Chang Wei proposed, "Then how about we lure them away?"

"What do you want to do?"

Chang Wei pointed to the back of the small mountain bag, "Let's pretend to be the people of the Dirty Clothes Sect and introduce them into this valley, how long can it be delayed." ”

Tang Jinyi's face was embarrassed, "It will take at least half an hour for the army of 30,000 people to retreat into the valley, can we drag it for so long with our twenty or so people?"

Chang Wei said expressionlessly: "How much can be withdrawn, the others depend on luck." ”

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, and war will always make people ruthless. On the other hand, it is also a big wave, and only those who can survive the war are eligible to enjoy the glory of victory.

"Okay, then give it a try!" Tang Jinyi summoned all his subordinates, and after giving the order, the twenty or so scouts all showed frightened expressions, and they all hesitated and did not dare to make a sound. Twenty people dragged tens of thousands of people?

Tang Jinyi immediately reprimanded: "Are you very afraid of death? The two of us, as the main generals, dare to disregard our own safety and personally cut off the queen! Is your life more precious than ours?"

More than two dozen scouts gritted their teeth and said, "Okay!

"The thirteen chain villages have cut off the soldiers' coveting of treasures, and they have just used ruthless methods against horse-faced men in the camp, and now they can boost morale. Jinyi has high martial arts, is angry and resentful, and is usually a humble gentleman. Does this guy have no weaknesses at all? Is he really a perfect person?

In Chang Wei's emotion, the scouts had already eliminated the traces of the White Lotus Sect on their clothes, Chang Wei taught them some more words, and the group quickly circled two miles to the south, and then ran out of the predetermined valley path.

"Who?"

"Stop!"

"Don't move!"

The great movement they deliberately made immediately alarmed the officers and soldiers a hundred and ten zhang away, and the sound of swords unsheathed, bows wound, and birds raised rang out in unison.

Chang Wei asked loudly: "Are you military masters from Yanzhou?"

The other party did not answer and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Chang Wei said: "We are the third squad of the White Lotus Sect's Weishan Battalion Scout!"

As soon as Chang Wei spoke, the officers and soldiers immediately asked in a loud voice, "Scout team, are you here to lead the way?"

"Captain Mountain, why didn't Captain Water come?"

"There was a lot of artillery fire in the barracks, what happened?"

"Hehe, you took the initiative to ask, but it saved my tongue. ”

Chang Wei immediately replied: "The musket team under Master Chang of Jinyi Wei has entered Weishan County and is attacking the camp. Our people are confronting them, please go quickly, the camp will be occupied by them in the future. ”

"Damn, it's Chang Wei again! This bastard is really fast!" The leading officer and soldier scolded, lit the torch suddenly, and saw a red-faced strong man by the firelight. (To be continued.) )
