Chapter 143 What Happened?

Gourd Valley, located twenty miles south of Julu City, got its name because of a valley shaped like a gourd.Because he connects the north and the south, the geographical location is relatively important, and a Qin army of more than [-] people is stationed in Taniguchi.

In the dark night, under the faint starlight, the outline of the low mountains is clearly visible, like a sleeping lion lying on the ground.

The lights at the foot of the mountain flickered. It was the torches in the Qin Army barracks fluttering with the wind. Occasionally, a team of patrol soldiers on duty at night passed by.

In December, at night in Hebei, the howling cold wind blows from the north and penetrates into the body from the collar and cuffs, making it extremely cold.Holding the weapon was even colder, and his fingers were also glowing red from the cold.Even so, the [-] Chu troops did not complain at all, and all obediently obeyed orders to lie down on the ground and hide.

Yin Xu held the broken water, the coldness of the tentacles made him extra sober, his eyes looked at the rolling low mountains in the distance.His eyes flickered, and he looked to both sides from time to time, as if he was looking for something, and there was a kind of anticipation and anticipation in his eyes.

Su An leaned over and asked softly: "General, is there any problem with Brother Jun? I don't know if this will be arranged properly?"

Su An is about the same age as Pu Jun, but the time he followed Yin Xu is far behind, not to mention his qualifications.It is precisely because of this that Su An respects Pu Jun very much on weekdays. Brother Jun doesn't listen to him before and after, and he is as close as a brother.

Looking around, there is indeed no sign of Pu Jun. If you carefully count the number of Chu troops, you will be surprised to find that the number of Chu troops is 2000 fewer.

Huan Chu was also approaching, and he had the same question: "Will Pu Jun succeed? Is it safe?"

Yin Xu smiled: "Don't worry, Pu Jun is cautious and vigilant, and he has always been handy in handling such things. I think that in Penglize when he dealt with the Qin army's siege, plotting traps and so on, it was Pu Jun himself who did it."

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, they didn't go to steal the camp, just bluffing to attract Qin Jun's attention. In such a cold day, Qin Jun's slackness and defenses are also lax. As long as Pu Jun acts carefully, he will succeed. We will soon Some go up to meet them, and they will be able to retreat unscathed."

Talking about the scene when Peng Lize was a bandit in the past, Su An was always fascinated, patted his legs and sighed, wishing he hadn't followed Yin Xu earlier.

Huan Chu lived in exile in the mountains and forests of Jiangdong in the past, and he still had a fresh memory of the Qin army's suppression of bandits in Jiangdong. It was not until he learned the origin of the water cutoff a few days ago that he realized that the tens of thousands of Qin troops were actually targeting Yin Xu.

Back then, the Qingshigou was filled with water, and the deeds of defeating the Qin army were widely spread among the Jiangdong Mountains. Huan Chu also heard about it and admired Yin Xu very much.

Later, Yin Xu followed Xiang Liang to raise troops, and made great achievements in several battles, which Huan Chu admired even more.However, in the year of weak crown, it is really rare to have such ability, such meritorious service, and to be named a general.

Huan Chu has always hoped to have the opportunity to meet this amazing General Yin, so he also asked to go north to participate in the Battle of Julu.Fortunately, he happened to accompany Yin Xu across the Zhanghe Duanliang Road, and finally had the opportunity to fight side by side with General Yin. Huan Chu couldn't say how happy he was.

Before, the robbery was carried out in the corridor, and the demolition and demolition were too trivial to be regarded as nothing.It was not the first battle to attack Hulugu until now, and Huan Chu was even more excited, looking forward to Yin Xu's wonderful performance.

The original task was to attack the tunnel, but Yin Xu changed his direction after carrying it out seriously on the first day, and turned it into a sneak attack on Calabash Valley tonight.

According to Yin Xu's meaning, he wanted to make a fuss under Zhang Han's nose for a while, shooting left and right, constantly maneuvering, in order to divert Zhang Han's attention.

Sometimes if you are too persistent, it will be difficult to accomplish anything, especially this kind of sabotage. If you don't do it well, you will be hit and wiped out.

Today's sneak attack on Calabash Valley was precisely for this reason. After dark, they came over quietly, and Yin Xu ordered Pu Jun to leave with 2000 people.As for where he went, without Yin Xu's explanation, both Huan Chu and Su An could guess. It must be the low hills of Hulu Valley behind the Qin Army's barracks.

Sure enough, after a while, fires ignited on the hillside in the distance. At first, there were only a few sporadic places, which were not obvious.It didn't take long for the fire to spread rapidly with the help of the wind, and the flames below the hillside were soaring into the sky and stretched far away.

Su An clapped his hands and said happily: "Brother Jun's hand!"

Yin Xu just smiled lightly, as expected, Pu Jun will definitely be able to handle it in a few hours, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of his name as General Pu?

Immediately, Yin Xu issued an order, and the remaining 9000 soldiers of the whole army quickly rushed towards the Qin army barracks in Hulugu.

The general stationed in Calabash Valley was none other than Zuo Ming, Dong Yi's subordinate.When he was attacked by Yin Xu and Fan Kui in Shanfu County, his entire army was almost wiped out. Although the general Dong Yi didn't investigate deeply, his face was dull and extremely depressed.

Since then, Zuo Ming has always hoped to find an opportunity to avenge himself with one arrow, and to avenge his shame.However, Dong Yi was defeated repeatedly at that time, and was beaten so hard by Yin Xu and Xiang Liang that he couldn't breathe.

When Yin Xu crossed the river and attacked Puyang, Dong Yi was ordered to rush back to Hebei for rescue. How could Zuo Ming let go of such a great opportunity.Immediately requested to be a striker, and chased Yin Xu all the way in Hebei, but unfortunately, he still couldn't grasp the great opportunity in front of him.

The army pursued all the way, and they were still dozens of miles away from Yin Xu. They were placed together in Dong'e, willing to be used, and made great efforts to help Yin Xu confiscate ships.

I thought that Yin Xu would not be able to escape no matter what because of a net of heaven and earth, but he just managed to capture the ferry, snatch the boats to cross the Yellow River, and return to Qidi in Henan.

What's more terrible is that Zhang Han was besieging Xiang Liang in Dingtao at that meeting, and when he was done, Yin Xu, who was returning across the river, suddenly rushed out from Juyeze, ruining Zhang Han's good deed.Unfortunately, when Zuo Ming rushed to report the news, he was a step late and hit the muzzle of the gun.

Zhang Han didn't blame too much for the failure in the south of the great river in this Julu battle.But the influence must have been there, and the good job of attacking Julu, which is eye-catching and meritorious, will not fall on him.

Dong Yi also took good care of this old subordinate, and managed to help him get a position as the guard of Calabash Valley. At any rate, he commanded tens of thousands of horses, which is not bad.

But Zuo Ming didn't think so. In his opinion, he was more like exiled.Guarding Gourd Valley and defending the southwest side of Julu seems to be an important position, but it is not.Most of the reinforcements went north from the southeast side and reached the east bank of Zhangshui. Calabash Valley was just a precautionary measure!

Unless the two countries of Korea and Wei are willing to take the risk of confronting the 20 Qin army head-on and go north from here, unless they are crazy, no one will do it!Therefore, Zuo Ming, who was depressed and lost, was careless and slack in his fundamental attitude, let alone defending and defending.

However, there are always exceptions, and unexpected things often happen.The camp was suddenly attacked in the middle of the night, and the hillside on the side of Calabash Valley was full of flames. It seemed that a large number of troops were coming from the entrance of the valley.

Qin Jun panicked and flustered, Zuo Ming woke up from his sleep and exclaimed loudly: "What happened?"

Recommend a book:

Zhao Litian originally only dreamed of being a farmer, planting fields, raising flowers, marrying a wife, having a son, and living a free life. After getting the blood essence, he unexpectedly came to the cruel world of cultivation, and became a disciple of a small family who was in a lifeless situation...

"I don't want longevity, and I don't want strength, I just want to be free, but you must not let me be free, so I have to gain strength first, and then kill you, to fight for freedom!" Zhao Litian said.
