Chapter 422 Moth

As the sun sets, a group of soldiers are in and out, and they are undergoing routine defense change. Far away, two people are lying on the high branches of the trees in the deep woods, observing the situation. There is nothing unusual in the military camp, and the number of officers and soldiers entering and leaving the defense change is the same as usual.

The soldiers wore red battle jackets, felt hats with red tassels and wide brims, shields, crossbowmen, spearmen, musketeers, and various long and short weapons, mainly used to defend the mountain pass.

In fact, this pass is one of the eight paths in Taihang, with the most stringent defense. The troops and combat power stationed are far inferior to ordinary small passes. Even if the white-clothed army breaks through, it is impossible for them to fall into the trap and choose to enter the mountain. However, the defense of the military camp routine must be maintained.

The officers and soldiers who changed defense left the gate, and the guards began to move out the horse-resisting rifles, deer antlers, and thorn bushes. The people in the forest made a gesture to the back, and the people who were observing them in the distance quickly turned around and left. The two people on the tree branches were still quietly attached there, like two geckos, with gray clothes attached to the bark, and they could not detect their existence inadvertently.

Twilight gradually fell, the stars, the moonlight, the wind began to cool down, and the barracks entered silence. In the second day, the officers and soldiers of the Taiyuan militia quietly evacuated their positions, leaving behind an empty camp.

The Maitreya believers totaled 15,000, divided into five armies in front, back, left, middle and right according to the system of the garrison. They secretly divided into twelve incense halls according to the rules of the Maitreya religion, controlled by the twelve incense hall masters. These people are all the backbone forces that the Maitreya religion has worked hard for more than ten years to cultivate.

On the top of the Taiyuan Militia Camp, someone swayed the ink-black jungle with the lights in his arms. He leaned a little, and the other party also had the same light signal. Cheng Laoshi came quietly with the vanguard troops, and they led the horses. Walking in the forest, the rustling footsteps alarmed a bird.

Occasionally, there were a few night owls and cuckoos. The stars and moonlight in the dark sky were not bright. You Qingyu was waiting for a few people to greet them. In the dark, they saw both sides coming together and telling a few words. You Qingyu led them back and walked back. The camp hole was as solid as steel at the foot of the mountain. Cheng honestly passed through the defensive camp smoothly.

It was not until they appeared on the empty wasteland opposite and were exploring the ambush that Cheng Laoshi shone out the contact signal agreed upon by the White Army on the mountain. The remaining White Army soldiers rushed out and rushed down the mountain like tigers and wolves. They had recovered their physical strength and obtained enough arrows from the militia. Once they returned to the plain, they would be a terrible force that no one could underestimate.

Li Fuda is not here. He is currently at the Taiyuan Guard's headquarters. Although he spent two years to replace nearly half of the Taiyuan Central Guard's generals and schools with his own people, he could not guarantee that those soldiers who curse the court when they usually have no salary and are grateful to Lord Zhang Yin and Zhang who pleaded for the soldiers once they heard that he was going to rebel and that he would still obey him when he was the famous leader of Maitreya.

With his current power, he believed that he could control the entire central defender in half-tempered and half-oppressed manner, but such troops obviously could not take on such an important team. He only needed to transfer them away at the right time to pursue Hongniang's men, and then lead his fellow believers to retreat from the melee while taking advantage of the chaos and return to join the militia army attacking the headquarters of the Jingjingyi Imperial Envoy.

The Red Lady's men finally left safely, like a dragon entering the sea, throwing into the vast night. Then, the Taiyuan militia's defense ground caught fire everywhere, the camp tents and fences were pushed down, the antlers were kicked over, and the refusal torch were kicked over. A messy scene was made, and a white-clothed army attacked the militia and successfully broke through.

The second update was not too late, but there was no entertainment at that time? There were not so many lanterns and torches for the soldiers to consume. The Jingjingyi military camp had already quietly immersed in the darkness. Suddenly, several horses broke the peace of the night, and in the faint moonlight, a few knights were seen flying towards the gate.

"Who? Stop!" Several figures suddenly jumped out of nowhere at the gate, standing inside the fence gate and shouting loudly. They held shields, waist knives, spears, bows and arrows. It was obvious that this was a combat team that accompanied each other with long and short weapons.

"Wow~" The galloping horse stopped suddenly. The war horse stood up with a long neigh. Before the horse's front hooves landed, a knight on the horse turned over and jumped off the horse. He was extremely agile, and the soldiers guarding the fence gate couldn't help but praise: "Good Kung Fu."

The man hurriedly stepped forward and reported anxiously: "We are the guards in front of Commander Zhang of Taiyuan Guard. If there is an urgent military situation, we need to report to the imperial envoy."

"Don't move, take the waist card!" A lieutenant put away his waist knife, pulled a crack in the fence, walked to the deer antler frame and reached out and said. The soldier hurriedly took out the waist card and served it with both hands. The lieutenant guard took it over and looked carefully, and said, "The military camp is in the important area, you must not enter and exit without authorization at night, and you must not gallop on horseback. If you unload your weapons and enter the camp, you must not move others."

The soldier agreed, took off his sword and handed it to another knight, and entered the camp empty-handed. Under the close surveillance of several bows and arrows, the camp guard checked the man up and down, waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"

The soldier followed the captain and hurried to the gate of the imperial envoy. The guards guarding the gate made another strict inspection as usual, and then took him into the door and asked him to wait in the hall. The personal soldiers in the mansion went to the back to make a message.

After a while, Yang Ling walked out of the back hall with barefoot and barefoot, looking at his outfit and angry look, he had just fallen asleep: "What emergency military situation is reported at this time? Could it be that the white-clothed bandits broke through?" He said impatiently as soon as he entered the main hall.

The personal soldier next to him shouted: "This is the Duke of the State, why don't you come forward to see him!"

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Baoxia Andongshan pays homage to the Duke of the Kingdom. The Duke of the Kingdom. The big thing is wrong, it is the White Army who broke through the siege."

When Yang Ling heard this, he laughed to the sky: "Hahaha, they have been in trouble for a long time, and what combat power can they have? Break through? Isn't this a suicide attempt? Whose local defense section are they attacking at the moment?"

The soldier said juicyly: "Returning to China, they...they attacked the ground of the Taiyuan militia. These regiments had no experience in training troops and had no combat formations, and they were not closely guarded at night. They were caught off guard by white-clothed bandits and horses, and the militia was broken up. Now they broke through the camp and headed straight towards Tianqinggou."

"What?" Yang Ling was shocked with a smile on his face and said furiously: "No matter how incompetent the militia is, there are still 15,000 people. They were successfully attacked by 5,000 white-clothed bandits? Waste! It's really a waste! Should be killed! Should be killed!"

Yang Ling was furious and gasped: "Tianqinggou? They are going to escape from Tianqinggou back to Taihang Mountain. There are only three thousand defense troops there, but they never expected that they would break through the siege. This... this... are you a subordinate of Lord Zhang of Taiyuan Wei? What's the situation now?"

"The Duke of Returning to China, Taiyuan Defense Defense is adjacent to Taiyuan Gangzheng. After hearing the news, Lord Zhang immediately ordered the troops of his headquarters and came out in full swing. Now he is chasing the white-clothed army."

Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and then said angrily: "Where is the militia?"

"The militia... was defeated for the first time when the militia was destroyed, and they were immediately defeated like a mountain collapse. They fled in scattered areas. Their generals were gathering the remaining soldiers everywhere."

Yang Ling gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Damn it! Jiang Nanyan and You Qingyu are all trash!"

He took two steps quickly and shouted: "Go back immediately and tell Zhang Yin that Hong Niu must not let Hong Niu break through Tianqinggou and escape back to Taihang Mountain. Be sure to entangle them. The country's nobles immediately send troops to help. As long as they do not leave Hong Niu, it is his great achievement. Go quickly and go immediately!"

"Yes, yes!" The soldier took advantage of the situation to get up, clasped his fists and responded repeatedly, and turned away from the hall. After a moment of pausing, he heard Yang Ling's roar from the hall, roaring like thunder: "Can birds in cage disappear? How do I explain this to the emperor! A group of bastards!

The soldier couldn't help but smile a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. He accelerated his pace and walked out. Yang Ling was still shouting loudly from behind: "Go quickly, call Commander Luo immediately and call the troops to chase and suppress! I, Yang Ling, fought in the south and north, and was invincible. I, never thought, had all the strong winds and waves. I actually overturned the boat in this small gutter. Which bastard also transferred the unscrupulous militia to suppress the bandits?"

Liu Dabangcui whispered: "Dude, the man has gone far away. I can't hear it."

"Oh? Cough, bring me the water." Yang Ling took the cup and moistened his throat, and smiled and said, "Is it still a good thing to pretend to be like?"

Liu Dabangcui smiled and raised his thumbs up, "Elephant, just like the real one. Bei Zhi clearly knew it, but he was scared when he saw it. When the boy went back, Li Fuda must have believed it."

The smile on Yang Ling's face calmed down. He stared at Liu Dabangchui and whispered: "I will lead people to leave, and this camp will be handed over to you."

Liu Dabangcui thrust his waist and said heroically: "Don't worry, Duke Guo, although Dabangcui has been stabbing you, I will be unambiguous about such a big thing. If you miss a big thing, you will chop my head!"

Yang Ling patted his broad shoulders and nodded and said, "Well, the road leading to the top of the mountain behind is a dead end. There is a cliff on the top of the mountain, but it is your only way to survive. If you escape and condescend to the top, you will be able to resist for a while. When my men come back, you will be able to save you.

However, if you have to grasp this time, Li Fuda will definitely arrange his eyes to see me away so that he can be assured to lead the army to attack the military camp. At the same time, I will also join other troops. This trip will take at least one hour. You must persist for a while. You must find a way to protect yourself, and use heroic battles to make Li Fuda believe that you are guarding the most important person.

Li Fuda is as cunning as a fox. If your response makes him suspicious, he will definitely escape before I return to the army to form a siege. If they cannot wipe out them all in one battle, then it will be another bandit that will harm the world."

Liu Dabangcui also became serious. He pursed his lips, nodded solemnly, and did not speak anymore.

At this time, Miao Kui and Commander Luo, who were dressed in military uniforms and distinctive armor, walked in side by side with their swords.

Yang Ling turned around and asked, "Are you all arranged?"

The two nodded together, Yang Ling raised his sword eyebrows and said enthusiastically: "Okay, the 'Tiger Capture Plan' begins now!"

He waved his hand and shouted majesticly: "Go away!"

"..., what are you doing? Why don't you move?"

Miao Kui and Commander Luo looked at each other with a strange expression. Miao Kui pointed at him and said embarrassedly: "Dude, are you wearing clothes?"

"Ah?" Yang Ling looked down and saw a set of white clothes and pants, wearing a green robe on the outside, and barefoot with a pair of shoes. He couldn't help but laugh: "Uh... the whole army is waiting for a while, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll come soon!" As he said that, he ran back in a panic with his shoes.

The silent military camp was ringing with drums and roars, and the lanterns were as bright as day. After the three-way cannons were fired, the gate was wide open, and the enemy-to-stop tools such as the refusal of horses and rifles, deer antlers were moved aside. The brigade of officers and soldiers rushed out of the Jingjingyi military camp, like a fire dragon on the rugged mountain road, winding straight into the distance.

"How many people are there?"

On a mountain far away, several Maitreya monks stood there and watched coldly as the movements in the direction of the military camp. They looked at the vast fire dragon that was not seen.

One person estimated for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that Yang Ling has become really angry. The Jingjingyi defenders are 8,000, and he brings another 3,000 elite soldiers. Look at this, he dispatched about 6,000 troops, and there will be no more than 5,000 troops left in the barracks."

Another laughed and said, "The leader's magic tricks are so good. He has the nickname of Tianshaxing. Isn't he being led by the nose? Keep a close eye on them and wait until they leave completely, and then send a signal to the leader, the old man."

The fire dragon at the foot of the mountain was gone, and suddenly a light flashed a few times on the mountain peak, and then it turned into a dark color. If someone saw it at the foot of the mountain, he might think it was the starlight in the sky or his eyes were dazzled.

When the light suddenly faded, another mountain peak continued to light up to the distance. It passed away in turn. I don’t know how long it took, a fire dragon rushed from far to near, aiming directly at the Jingzhiyi.

"Stop! Who?" Although the commander was not in the camp, as a permanent military center, the soldiers were still alert enough. Suddenly, a large group of people rushed towards him with torches, and the officers and soldiers guarding the camp immediately spoke up and asked.

The people and horses rushed to the ground did not stop. The cavalry was in the front. He rushed over after hearing the question. The head of the gate guard was an experienced veteran, and he did not find out the other party's identity. He immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrow! Warning!"

"Bangbangbang!" The warning sounded loudly, and several sharp arrows shot out. Then a shadow flashed in front of him. Several soldiers had already fallen out with screams. The thigh was scraped off a piece of flesh and blood. He screamed so much that he rolled and fled to the side.

Although he didn't see clearly, he already knew that the other party was throwing a javelin. The javelin was so powerful that it was too heavy. With the speed of the galloping horse, the shield in his hand was also stabbed through, and it was impossible to rely on the weapon lattice. He covered his thighs and shouted: "Someone attacked the camp!"

Although the galloping horse that rushed towards the opposite side was shot down by sharp arrows, the others rushed to the front quickly. They did not care about moving the antlers and resisting the rifle, but carried the sword and walked around the obstacle and rushed to grab the door. The chief cried out just as a black shadow rushed over like a galloping horse, slashing the knife, and kicked out with blood, kicking his body aside.

The soldiers in the patrol area rushed over and started a battle with them. Since Yang Ling had just led his troops to set off, the entire barracks were clamoring, and the remaining defenders had not fallen asleep. When they heard the warning message, they immediately ran out.

In order to be suitable for offense and defense, this military camp was originally set up as one, two or three lines of defense. The outermost side was already broken by the Maitreya Cult's regiment team, and they did not know the exact number of opponents, so they could not blindly rush out to fight hard. Wang Hong, the defender's chief minister, made a quick decision and immediately launched a counterattack on the second battalion's defense line.

The horns were ringing together, and a cruel night battle began. The crazy Maitreya believers all knew that the large mansion built along the mountain behind the third line of defense in the military camp was the headquarters of the imperial envoy, and the current Emperor of Ming was there. As long as he was killed, the world would be in chaos.

Kill the emperor, "Maitreya Buddha airborne and become the master's world" will be realized. The leader's words made everyone full of crazy fighting spirit. Without any instigation, they rushed forward like a rain of arrows from the officers and soldiers.

You Qingyu charged forward. A red tassel spear in his palm was stalked and like a roaring poisonous dragon. He stabbed several officers and soldiers to death one after another. More than a dozen confidants were following him with spears, intending to open a gap. However, although Youtan Master was extremely skilled in martial arts and the warriors around him were all brave, they had just rushed to the wall of the second line of defense and were immediately suppressed again.

Although the officers and soldiers on the defensive wall are not as good as him, in such a intensive battle, they are at night, and the skills are no longer effective. No matter how high your martial arts are, six or seven long spears stab from all directions like lightning, you can't resist them at all. If you want to jump up, you will turn your tree into a living target. The only way to break the ground is to retreat, because the big gun in your hand can only stir up and thorn, and it is impossible to dance to protect yourself from the wind and rain.

You Qingyu was forced back to the edge of the wall by several spears, and two black shadows rolled over to the ground. With the spear protection, he attacked his feet. Under the flames, two steel knives swept out two red halos and swept towards his legs. This was the combination of attack by the sword shield and spearmen. The two swords were powerful, and You Qingyu had no choice but to jump back and leapt down the wall.

Wang Dusi stood on the wall, shook his spear and stabbed a Maitreya scholar who was urging up with a knife and howling, and then wiped the sweat from his face. Looking around, there was a sea of ​​torches in front of him, with stars dotted and sensational. It was like the surging tide of the galaxy, and the crazy shouting was like the howling mountain wind. The opponent's powerful momentum was shocking. Judging from the situation, the force was far better than him.

"Li Fuda is as cunning as a fox and as a sinister as a wolf. Most of his trusted subordinates are experienced people in the martial arts world. Therefore, as bait, you must not only bear the first powerful attack pressure alone. You cannot tell the officers and soldiers in detail in advance. If they cannot do it naturally, too strict vigilance and defense will scare them away.

The important task of luring the snake out of the cave is to you. This task is very heavy and bloody, but only in this way can he draw out all his hidden strength in one go, so that he can avoid greater losses and casualties. Wang Dusi, you are a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and you should understand what I mean," Yang Ling's heavy words rang out in his ears again.

"Don't worry, no matter how brave his Maitreya incense army is, the training time is still short. With the thousands of officers and soldiers who have been through the battlefield for a long time, we will hold on until you come back. In any case, we will persevere until you come back," Wang Dusi answered confidently.

However, now that he really came to see the scene, he realized how terrible this army called Taiyuan Governor Land Training is. A militia armed force has a terrifying aura that even a regular army cannot match.

Those half-people and half-soldiers were fearless. They ignored the companions who were stabbed to death, shot to death, and killed, and just rushed forward with their swords and guns.

The corpse of the partner was like a pile of rubble at their feet. Not only did they not look at it, but they would not even frown when they stepped on it. Even the veterans who had been through many battles were not as cold as them.

The steel knife was still slashing wildly in the dark, ruthlessly tearing the flesh and blood, just like cutting melons and vegetables. The spear kept shuttled and flowing like a poisonous dragon, piercing the other person's body, mixed with the ground, and there were cold arrows.

The number of deaths in the regiment training far exceeded that of the officers and soldiers guarding the camp, but successors still rushed up like tides. There were already many places where the regiment training and soldiers were entwined with each other and fighting hand in hand.

Wang Dusi was so cruel that he ordered to retreat to the last pass. The band issued an order, and the soldiers behind him began to retreat one after another, seizing the advantageous location of the third line of defense to launch a defensive formation.

The soldiers who rushed on the front line to fight desperately could no longer retreat. As long as they turned around, they would have a steel knife and a neck. They could only have red eyes, gritted their teeth, swung their swords desperately, and bought time for their comrades with the idea of ​​killing one and making another.

The battlefield is so cruel. Sometimes retreating is for attack. Sometimes taking the initiative to sacrifice some people is to eliminate more enemies at a smaller price. Being righteous and kind does not control the army. As the commander, you must never show mercy. This is the ruthless battlefield of life and death.

The two lines of defense were conquered one after another, which made the Maitreya incense army very loudly. They shouted like a tide and continued to attack the last line of defense. The shouts of "Kill the Emperor! Kill the Emperor!" inspired them, but made the defenders behind the line of defense inexplicably: Where is there an emperor here?

"If this line of defense is broken again, then you will have to retreat to the imperial envoy. I am now dead and injured. Only one thousand men can fight. I don't know how long I can hold on to the headquarters. Can Duke and Lord Luo come back in time? Duke left three thousand iron guards, and the next step is to rely on you."

Wang Dusi sighed and turned his head to look at him. A soldier in the winged yellow battle robe hurriedly ran out: "Mr. Wang hold on for a while and then retreat to the imperial envoy. General Liu asked me to tell you that your mission was completed very well. When they were all trapped in the battle group, it was the time when their entire army was wiped out!"

Li Fuda rushed over.

Yangling's army was transferred from Jingjingyi and rushed straight to Tianqinggou. At this time, Li Fuda was commanding the army to attack the Baiyi Army, while the Baiyi Army was attacking the Tianqinggou Pass. Both sides were crowded in a narrow and long hill, and they could not deploy all their troops at all. Only soldiers facing the enemy in front could fight with the other side, and the advantages of numerous troops were difficult to exert their effectiveness.

The white-clothed army first broke through Tianqinggou and could escape into the vast green mountains while the night was dark, and if the pursuers broke through their defense before they broke through the pass, they could wipe them out here. Of course, Li Fuda would not let the bait that lured the tiger away from the mountain easily do nothing.

This time, the Taiyuan Left Guard and Taiyuan Central Guard were transferred to encircle and suppress the White-clothed Army. Li Fuda transferred the Taiyuan Central Guard, whom he controlled, to the front, and used the excuse that the terrain was narrow and difficult to unfold. He ordered the Taiyuan Left Guard to find a way to climb the dangerous peaks on both sides and control the enemy from a high point. The mountain was extremely dangerous, with only a few woodcutters and mountain people stepping out of the path, and the darkness required a unit to be transferred up. At the fastest time, it would take an hour.
To be continued...
