Chapter 10229 Probing
In front of Loushan Pass.

It was night time at this time, and suddenly there were several bird calls in the pass.

The length of the call seemed very strange, to the ears of ordinary people, it was the call of a local bird.

But listening to some caring people, it represents some kind of signal.

"The people you sent are really reliable?"

Luo Xingchen, who was hiding in the darkness, looked at Xiongguan ahead and said in a low voice.

"Those people are the dark men I sent to lurk in the early years. They have legitimate identities in the pass, and two of them are officers. This time there are not many troops stationed in the pass, only about 2000, and many of them are wounded soldiers. As long as If we can open the city gate, we will be able to take it if we enter the pass.”

Li Ruili's eyes were filled with fiery emotions.

If he really can win Loushan Pass, he will definitely remember his achievements. He will no longer be an ordinary general in the local area. According to Daqi's practice, he will be knighted and become a real general.

Generals who lead troops are generally called generals, but real generals are at least the fifth rank.

Now Li Ruili happened to be at the sixth rank, and he was conferred the rank of Captain Zhaoxin. He needed to be promoted to a rank, and he could only be awarded the general of Wulue from the fifth rank.

"It's better to be cautious and send an army to try."

Luo Xingchen did not fully believe in Li Ruili's judgment.

What Luo Xingchen sent was a team of one hundred people. If they could really enter the barrier, these one hundred people would be enough to hold the gate of the city. If the gate couldn't be opened, it would be useless for the master warriors to come.

Now there is a signal from inside, but the city gate has never been opened.

"It's past the agreed time, will there be any changes?"

After waiting for a while, the city gate ahead was still firmly closed.

The huge city gate cannot be opened by manpower at all, and all kinds of equipment around it can even break through the defense of the master warrior from a long distance.

"Wait a second."

As time went by, Li Ruili's heart gradually sank.

Inside, something went wrong.

The internal response that was supposed to open the city gate has no message.

"Failed, cancel the plan."

Luo Xingchen sighed. At this time, he needs to bring this force back to the camp, otherwise, when the soldiers are exhausted, they may be defeated in a surprise attack from the opposite side.

On the battlefield, what is fought is overall strength, and individual strength cannot play a decisive role in it.

No matter how stubborn Li Ruili was, he couldn't make the soldiers persevere.

If nothing can be done, retreat.

Fortunately, everyone retreated relatively smoothly.

After the soldiers successfully retreated into the camp, Li Ruili came to the tent of the Chinese army where Luo Xingchen was.

"Marshal, it's a crime to be humble."

Li Ruili knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty. He was very annoyed at this moment, and he swore that the arrangements had been made, but in the end, there was no disturbance at all, and the whole plan completely failed.

"Mr. Li, get up quickly. You can't blame you for this matter. It's up to people to make things happen. Who knows what happened in the pass."

"I see, there are capable people in the pass." Luo Xingchen said.

Li Rui stood up and stood aside, saying: "The guard of Loushan Pass is Yang Qiluo. He has high ambition and lack of ability, but he is stable and extremely loyal to Yang Yuanhua."

"That said, Yang Yuanhua picked a good candidate. What he wants to guard Loushan Pass is a stable, loyal and steady man, which is very suitable."

Luo Xingchen said.

"It was appropriate at first, but as the years got older, Yang Qiluo changed..." Li Ruili said.

"What changes?"

"Greedy and lustful, it is said that he has eighteen concubines and is addicted to drinking every day." Li Rui stood up.

"Could Yang Yuanhua tolerate it?" Luo Xingchen frowned.

"Yes, Yang Yuanhua himself is that kind of person. In his opinion, as long as he is loyal to him, everything else is trivial."

Li Ruili explained.

"Yang Yuanhua won't last long. I think the Yang family in Banzhou will fall into his hands sooner or later."

Luo Xingchen concluded.

Loushan Pass is such an important place, and the garrison generals are of such quality. Is it really true that Loushan Pass is insurmountable?

"That is inevitable, but this opportunity is lost, and it is difficult to attack the city recently." Li Ruili sighed.

"It's hard to attack, so let them relax, rest tonight, and start tomorrow."

Luo Xingchen said.

No matter what, Loushan Pass is going to be attacked. After a few days, reinforcements will definitely arrive, and it will be even more difficult at that time.

Of course, Luo Xingchen didn't expect to be able to capture it immediately. Of course, his purpose was to build the plank road openly and keep Chencang secretly.

Ziyan has already set off along with the water ions.

……

The edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Zi Yan was riding on a horse.

This horse is a breed from the southwest side. It is used to walking in the mountains and has great endurance.

"Senior Water Ion, this mountain road is rugged, isn't it inconvenient to ride a horse?"

This is what Zi Yan is most concerned about now.

So what if there is a way?If it is that kind of rugged mountain road, it is meaningless for the army to march, and only a few warriors can go to Bozhou along the road.

What is the special value in that?

Because a powerful warrior can go to Banzhou by himself, it is not a problem for Ziyan to go to Banzhou now.

Individual warriors going to Banzhou can't change the situation of the battle at all.

"Those who can pass by on horseback, follow the poor road."

Shui Ion walked forward with a calm face. The horse she was riding was also a local horse breed, and they were all adapted to the mountain environment.

Zi Yan had doubts in her heart, but it did not prevent her from following the water ion.

The road to go is indeed very strange, often with no doubts and no way out, and another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

I thought there was no road ahead, but when I turned around, there was another hidden road on the side of the mountain, and horses could still pass through these roads.

"Is there no way there?"

After two days, Zi Yan finally saw a big mountain in front of him.

Back and forth, she couldn't see a passable road.

"This is this section of the road, the most critical section, look here."

The water ion came to the side of the mountain, and she knocked on the mountain wall a few times. Immediately, a cave appeared on the side, and it was dark on the side, and the direction leading to it could not be seen clearly.

"There is actually a passage here, I haven't heard anyone say it."

Ziyan has lived with the aborigines for a long time, and the elders of the Gu family and several other families never mentioned the passage here when chatting with her.

"There are too many secrets hidden in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Many people don't know it. They are often created in ancient times. This passage was also opened up by ancient Qi practitioners."

Shui Ion explained: "Look at this, it is impossible for ordinary people to develop it. Many of the methods used by ancient Qi practitioners are beyond imagination."

"Go down and have a look."

Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go down to explore the passage, if it was sealed here, she felt that she couldn't get out, and would be trapped to death inside.

But she had no choice.
