Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3643 Mountain Forest Raid
The Shangyu Ancient Road, in a narrow sense, starts from "Shang" and ends at "Yu". In fact, it starts from Chang'an and traverses the Qinling Mountains. It was also called Wuguan Road in Qin and Han Dynasties.

Guanzhong is a fertile field, a land of abundance, surrounded by mountains, rivers and rivers, isolated from the inside and outside, and the access roads have been limited since ancient times.Due to military and economic inconvenience to the outside world, people took advantage of the natural landforms of the Bashui River Valley on the north side of the Qinling Mountains and the Danshui River Valley on the south side of the Qinling Mountains.

This road leaves from Chang'an east, goes south on the west side of Ba River, passes through Lantian, crosses Ba River to Qinling Mountains, goes up Qipanling, goes around the north side of Lushan Mountain, passes through Liulang Pass, crosses the Blue Bridge, and goes up the Blue Bridge Water. After crossing the Qinling Mountains through the Muhuguan Pass, he entered the commercial land.

Shun the Qipan River, a tributary of Danshui River, and descend to Heilongkou, and then arrive at Shangzhou City via Ma Street; then go southeast through Danfeng, cross the hills on the north side of Danjiang River, pass Taohuapu to Wuguan, and go straight down to Nanyang, Dengzhou, and Jing. Xiang to Jiangnan and Lingnan.

This road has been the main way for Guanzhong to communicate with the outside world since ancient times, but the whole road passes through deep mountains and ravines, and it is difficult and dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to travel.

Fang Jun led three hundred personal soldiers to circle in a large circle, first going upstream from the Wei River and then turning to the south, avoiding the rebels near Chang'an, going straight to Lantian along the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and then going deep into Bashui from there. The river valley can be regarded as officially entering the ancient road of Shangyu.

When we reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the sky was already dark, and the whole army did not dare to stay at the foot of the mountain, so as not to be discovered by the rebel scouts, so they entered the mountain, found a north windy col, and set up camp, and arranged scouts and sentries to guard the surrounding mountains. .

This place is close to Shenheyuan, and there are many people, so the army dare not start a fire.Fang Jun ate the dry food he brought, then wrapped a blanket and lay in the tent, trying to clear his thoughts so that he could fall asleep as soon as possible. The trip has not yet reached the difficult point, and he has to arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible, which is very physically exhausting, so every day Take time to rest as much as possible.

The three hundred personal soldiers led by this trip will then be his confidants, loyal, reliable and powerful. Even if they are accidentally discovered by the rebel scouts and attract the rebels to attack, the three or five thousand rebels will never be able to keep them, and they can easily break through. , so Fang Jun didn't care much about safety, and fell asleep after a while.

In the second half of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a chaotic sound, and he hurriedly put on his cloak and grabbed a horizontal knife to get out of the tent. He saw Wei Ying trotting over, and said hurriedly: "There is an unknown person in the mountain, which is approaching fast. "

Fang Jun listened, and sure enough, there was a faint sound of chaos in the mountains to the south, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army packs up the tents and gets ready to go."

When the army is outside, and there are rebels around, it must not be half-careful, and the slightest abnormality must be treated with caution.

"Here!"

Wei Ying turned back and retreated, whispering that the general squadron was calling, and he ordered one by one, and soon the entire army quickly put away the tent, slammed the luggage on the horse's back, and could start or fight at any time.

Not long after, the army scout came running quickly from the mountain forest, and when he arrived in front of Fang Jun, he gasped and said, "Report to the commander, there are two teams of people in the mountains chasing each other, and the one being chased is the one who was killed. One of them seems to be a student from an academy, and I heard someone shouting 'Follow up, Master Tong,' and suspected it was Ouyang Tong and others. It's just that the distance was too close, and I was eager to report the military situation, so I never came close to investigate."

Fang Jun was shocked, his hand holding the knife tightened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you heard it right?"

The scout affirmed: "It's definitely not wrong."

Anyone who can serve as a scout in the army is equivalent to the eyes, ears, nose and nose of the army.

Fang Jun asked anxiously, "How many people are there on both sides?"

The scout said: "The number of those being pursued is four or five hundred, and the number of those being pursued is at least twice as many, or even more than three times."

Fang Jun pondered for a while, and said categorically: "Go to investigate again, if you find anything, report it in time!"

"Here!"

The scout got up and left quickly, and disappeared into the forest with agility like a monkey. Fang Jun ordered the soldiers: "Perhaps the scattered academy students were chased by the rebels. We have set up an ambush. Once confirmed, we will immediately rescue them!"

"Here!"

Three hundred personal soldiers left dozens of people in the camp to guard the horses. The rest followed Fang Jun to the hills in the south, hiding in the dense forest and snow, with their knives unsheathed and bows wound, paying close attention to the increasing noise in the south. .

After a short while, another scout came to report: "It has been confirmed that the people being hunted down are all academy students, and the leaders are General Xin Mao, Cen Changqian, and Ouyang Tong. Among them, Ouyang Tong seems to be seriously injured and has difficulty moving. will carry forward.”

Fang Jun was refreshed and said to his personal soldiers: "Don't use firearms, so as not to disturb the rebels on Shenheyuan. Listen to my orders later, raid the rebels, and rescue the academy students!"

"Here!"

The personal soldiers answered in a low voice, leaned over the mountain forest, and stared down at the rugged and winding mountain road below the hill.Everyone knows that Fang Jun is the secretary of the academy, and he created the real academy. Every academy student can be regarded as a "family member". He is being hunted down at this moment, and it is right to be rescued.

In addition, the students of the academy defended the foundry at the beginning of the rebel army's rise, and they fought hard and were outnumbered. ?

Soon, scouts from all walks of life withdrew, and on the dark and rugged mountain road, through the moonlight reflected by the snow in the mountains, you could vaguely see silhouettes of people running, and the sound of shouting was endless.

Fang Jun hid behind a big tree and raised his hand: "Get ready!"

The soldiers behind "Hua La" all bent their bows and arrows to the full moon, and the arrows were condescending and aimed at the rugged mountain road under the hill.

On the mountain road, a group of ragged soldiers carried each other, supported each other, and fled as if they were desperate. During the period, someone fell from time to time, and their companions quickly helped them up, or supported or carried on their backs, so that no one was left behind.

When this group of 500 people ran past in a disorderly manner, a group of well-equipped soldiers followed, chasing after them.

Fang Jun dropped his big hand: "Release the arrow!"

"Boom!"

More than a hundred bowstrings vibrated in unison, making a dull sound, causing the snow on the treetops above the head to fall "with a rustling".The soldiers who were chasing after them were very alert and were startled by the sudden sound of the bowstring, and then the sound of arrows breaking through the air filled their ears. He slammed forward and fell on the snow, shouting, "There is an ambush! Concealment! Concealment!"

Some people reacted quickly, and immediately bent down and bowed their heads on the ground, while more people were unable to respond to the sudden attack. There was a muffled sound of "puff puff", and the sharp arrows easily penetrated the leather armor, Clothes, deep into the body, burst into a wailing.

"Ah! I was shot!"

"I got shot in the thigh!"

"Help! Help me!"

……

Under the hill, there were screams everywhere.

The personal soldiers behind Fang Jun released a round of arrow crossbows, which had already re-bent the bows and arrows, and shot out again in salvo.

"Boom!" The bowstring vibrated, and countless arrows shot down from the dense forest on the hill, instantly hitting the rebels on the mountain road.

The rebels were chasing and killing themselves happily, but when they were suddenly attacked, they panicked immediately. Not only did the formation completely collapse, but the soldiers near the edge ignored the shouts of their captains, and burrowed into the forest beside the road, relying on the dense forest to avoid arrows. arrow.

messed up.

After three rounds of bow and arrow salvos, Fang Jun didn't stop, drew his knife in his hand, and shouted, "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Appearing from the side of the tree, stomping on the ground, leopards generally charge, and the three hundred soldiers behind him dare to let him take arrows and rocks and charge ahead, immediately shouting desperately for the first place, from the top of the hill with the help of the terrain Li swooped down, and in almost a few ups and downs, he rushed straight into the chaotic enemy formations on the mountain road.

Fang Jun took the lead, his feet kept walking, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed at an enemy soldier without any fancy.The enemy soldier hurriedly blocked the horizontal sword, and with a sound of "dang", a string of sparks erupted from the clash of the two swords, and the horizontal sword in his hand was instantly cut off.

"puff!"

With the help of Fang Jun's charge, this knife was so powerful that it split open the enemy's head in one fell swoop, and blood and brains splattered out.

He kicked the corpse of the enemy soldier with one foot, rushed forward to grab another enemy soldier, and slashed with the horizontal knife. Just as the enemy soldier waved the ring-handed knife in his hand, he felt a chill in his neck, and his head was already soaring into the sky. , in mid-air, I was stunned to see the sudden appearance of the enemy, like a pack of wolves, rushing into the formation and slashing at will...

Blood surged into the sky like a fountain.

The three hundred personal soldiers saw Fang Jun's brave and mighty, and they admired and loved him, but they were afraid of losing. All of them bravely charged forward with Fang Jun, desperately protecting his flanks, and intercepting the enemy army in one fell swoop.
