Chapter 10228 Exploration
In front of Loushan Pass.
It was night at this time, and several birdsong suddenly sounded in the pass.
The length of the call seems very strange. To ordinary people's ears, it is the call of a local bird.
But among some thoughtful people, it represents some kind of signal.
"Are the people you sent really reliable?"
Luo Xingchen, hiding in the darkness, looked at the pass ahead and whispered.
“Those people are the secret agents I sent to hide in the pass many years ago. They have legitimate status in the pass. Two of them are officers. There are not many troops stationed in the pass this time, only about two thousand people. , many of them are still wounded. As long as we can open the city gate and enter the pass, we will surely win the pass."
Li Ruili's eyes were filled with fiery emotions.
If he can really capture Loushanguan, he will definitely remember his first contribution. He will no longer be an ordinary local general. According to the practice of Daqi, he will be knighted and become a real general. .
Generally speaking, generals who lead troops are called generals, but a true general is at least fifth grade.
Now Li Ruili happens to be at the sixth rank and is awarded the rank of Colonel Zhaoxin. He needs to move up one rank and from the fifth rank to be awarded the title of Military General.
"It is better to be cautious and send an army to try."
Luo Xingchen did not completely believe in Li Ruili's judgment.
Luo Xingchen sent a team of 100 people. If they can really enter the gate, these 100 people will be enough to hold the city gate. If the city gate cannot be opened, it will be useless for the grandmaster warriors to come.
Now there is a signal coming from inside, but the city gate has never been opened.
“It’s past the agreed time, will something happen?”
After waiting for a period of time, the city gate in front was still firmly closed.
The huge city gate cannot be opened by human power at all, and the various equipment around it can break through the defense of the master warrior from a long distance.
“Wait a moment.”
As time went by, Li Ruili's heart gradually sank.
Inside, something happened.
The internal response that was supposed to open the city gate had no message.
"Failed, cancel the plan."
Luo Xingchen sighed. At this time, he needed to bring this force back to the camp, otherwise, when the soldiers were exhausted, the enemy on the other side would A surprise attack would probably result in their defeat.
On the battlefield, what is fought is the overall strength, and personal strength does not play a decisive role in it.
No matter how stubborn Li Ruili is, he can't make the soldiers persist.
Since nothing can be done, retreat.
Fortunately, everyone retreated relatively smoothly.
When the soldiers successfully retreated into the camp, Li Ruili came to the Chinese army tent where Luo Xingchen was.
"Commander, I am guilty of underestimating my position."
Li Ruili knelt down on one knee to plead guilty. He was very upset at this time and vowed to ensure that the arrangements were made. In the end, there was no disturbance at all, and the whole plan failed completely.
"Comrade Li, get up quickly. I can't blame you for this. People's plans are up to God. Who knows what kind of changes have happened in the pass."
"I see, it's in the pass. There are capable people." Luo Xingchen said.
Li Ruili stood up and stood aside and said: "The guard of Loushanguan is Yang Qiluo. This man has high ambitions and talent, but he does not have much ability, but he is more stable and is extremely loyal to Yang Yuanhua."
"So, Yang Yuanhua picked a good candidate. To guard Loushanguan, what he wants is someone who is stable, loyal and steady. He is suitable."
Luo Xingchen said.
"It was suitable at first, but as he got older, Yang Qiluo changed..." Li Rui said.
"What changes?"
"He is greedy for drink and lust. It is said that he has eighteen concubines and indulges in drinking every day." Li Ruili said.
"Can Yang Yuanhua still tolerate it?" Luo Xingchen frowned.
"Yes, Yang Yuanhua himself is that kind of person. In his opinion, as long as you are loyal to him, everything else is trivial." Li Ruili explained.
"Yang Yuanhua will not last long. I think the Bozhou Yang family will fall into his hands sooner or later."
Luo Xingchen concluded.
Loushanguan is such an important place, and the generals who defend it are of such quality. Do you really think that Loushanguan is insurmountable?
"That is inevitable, but this opportunity has been lost, and it has been difficult to attack the city recently." Li Ruili sighed.
"It's difficult to attack even if it's difficult. Let them relax and have a rest tonight and set off tomorrow."
Luo Xingchen said.
No matter what, Loushanguan must be attacked. In the next few days, reinforcements will definitely arrive, and it will be even more difficult then.
Of course, Luo Xingchen did not expect to capture it immediately. His purpose was of course to build the plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang.
The purple smoke has set off with the water ions.
……
The edge of Shiwan Mountain.
Zi Yan rides on a horse.
This horse is a breed from the southwest. It is used to walking in the mountains and has full endurance.
"Senior Shui Ion, this mountain road is rugged, is it inconvenient to ride a horse?"
This is the question that Zi Yan is most concerned about now.
So what if there is a way? If it is that kind of rugged mountain road, then it is meaningless for the army to march, and only a few warriors can follow the road to Banzhou.
What’s the special value?
Because powerful warriors can go to Banzhou on their own, it is not a problem for Ziyan to want to go to Banzhou now.
Individual warriors going to Banzhou cannot change the situation of the war at all.
"It is possible to ride a horse, just follow the poor road."
Shui Ion walked forward with an indifferent expression. The horse she was riding was also a local horse breed and was adapted to the mountain environment. .
Zi Yan has doubts in her heart, but it does not prevent her from following the water ion.
The road there is indeed very strange. It is often full of mountains and rivers, and there is no way out.
I thought there was no road ahead, but when I turned around, I saw another hidden road on the side of the mountain, and horses could pass on these roads.
“Is there no road there?”
After two days, Zi Yan finally saw a big mountain lying in front of him.
Back and forth, she could not see a passable road.
"This is the section of the road, the most critical section. Look here."
Shui Lion came to the side of the mountain. She knocked on the mountain wall a few times, and then, a cave appeared on the side. , to the side and downwards, it was so dark that it was hard to see the direction.
“There is a passage here, I haven’t heard anyone say it.”
Ziyan has lived among the indigenous people for a long time. The elders of several families, including the Gu family, followed her When chatting, I never mentioned the passage here.
“There are too many secrets hidden in Shiwan Mountain. Many people don’t know that they are often created in ancient times. This passage was also opened up by ancient Qi practitioners.”
< br>
Shui Ion explained: "Look here, it is impossible for ordinary people to develop it. Many of the methods of ancient Qi practitioners are beyond imagination."
"Go down and take a look."
Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go down and explore the passage. If it was blocked here, she felt that she would be trapped and die if she couldn't get out.
But she had no choice.
