The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

These days, Situ Shuo is like a bereaved dog, terrified all day long.How glorious was he when he was a prince?That year, his father was trapped in the Iron Net Mountain due to a snowstorm, and Situ Rong, that idiot, charged forward. He was only one step away from the Ninth Five-Year Lord. Back then...

Situ Shuo glanced at the direction where the imperial army camped from a distance, wishing he could grit his teeth, if Jia Lian hadn't exposed and controlled Zeng Yuqi, and exposed Situ Yan... The more Situ Shuo thought about it, the more he hated him, but he could only hate Buried in the bottom of my heart, I sighed.

Gu Xing stepped forward and said: "My lord, my subordinates have found out the loopholes in the imperial defense line, so let's make a detour. As long as we join Chieftain Gao, we won't be afraid of Jia Jing."

Situ Shuo was kicked out by Jiang Dahu's people, and every day he lived in a homeless life. If Gu Xing hadn't rescued him, he would have been captured by Jiang Dahu long ago.Originally, Situ Shuo trusted Gu Xing very much, but now that he saw the imperial army, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was scared out of his wits and inevitably became paranoid. He pointed at Gu Xing with his sword and said, "Who are you?" Who, did you trick me into giving it to Jia Jing to receive a reward in exchange for glory and wealth?"

Gu Xing is none other than the expert who smuggled weapons from the king of Nan'an and settled down in Changrong's family.Later, the collusion between Changrong'an and King Nan'an was defeated, and Gu Xing even chased and killed Jia Jing and his party for thousands of miles.Although Jia Jing, Qin Yue, Liu Ping and others returned to Beijing safely, more than half of the elite soldiers and guards led by Jia Jing and his party were lost.Qin Yue and Liu Ping teamed up, but they could only draw with Gu Xing. If Situ Shuo dared to point his sword at him, he really was an old birthday star who hanged himself. He thought his life was too long.

Seeing Gu Xing's body swaying, and his finger flicking on Situ Shuo's sword, Situ Shuo felt a blur in front of his eyes, but he didn't see anything clearly, and there was a sharp pain in his hand, the sword fell to the ground, and Situ Shuo's hands were covered with blood.It turned out that with Gu Xing's light flick, Situ Shuo's tiger's mouth had been shattered.

Gu Xing glanced at Situ Shuo and said: "I said before that the King of Nan'an has kindness to me, and my rebellion against the court is just to repay the kindness of the King of Nan'an back then. If I want to exchange the sixth prince for wealth, when will I take the head of the sixth prince?" It's not easy? Gu brought the Sixth Prince all the way to Southern Border, and the journey has already delayed a lot of time, if the Sixth Prince doesn't believe in Gu, we will part ways."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xing turned around and said to the few behind him: "Let's go."

Situ Shuo was suspicious because of his fear, so he couldn't help being suspicious, but he also knew that if he hadn't had Gu Xing in the past two years of fleeing, he would have been arrested by Jiang Dahu and punished. It’s just this king who was suspicious and talking nonsense, I can’t trust anyone, and no one can’t trust Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu has a lot of adults, so don’t argue with me.”

Gu Xing turned his back to Situ Shuo, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then returned to his usual expression.Situ Shuo is the big bait that he carefully protects, and he managed to escape Li Xiao's pursuit and bring him to southern Xinjiang. Naturally, Gu Xing would not easily give Situ Shuo to Jia Jing.No matter how much Situ Shuo talks about the lord's genealogy, he is just a frightened stray dog. Gu Xing just needs to give him a smell of his bones, and Situ Shuo will follow him, and he can't even beat him away. .

Gu Xing turned around, with an angry expression on his face, and said: "The Sixth Lord, don't doubt Gu's intentions anymore. Of course, Gu's purpose is to repay Nan'an King, but the one who benefits the most from Gu's move is still the prince. .”

Situ Shuo quickly nodded and said yes, that way, he looked like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, not even half a prince.

Gu Xing ignored Situ Shuo, called the spies, took the map, made a route, carefully avoided the imperial army, and continued to move forward.

On the other hand, the imperial army, because of the map drawn by Jia Lian, spent a lot of time exploring the road and moved forward quite quickly.Seven days later, the army came to a place, looking at a towering mountain in front of them blocking the way.

Jia Lian only took one look at the mountain, and his heart grew hairy.Because this mountain is so different from what I remember. Although there is also a mountain here in my memory, it is much lower and the top of the mountain is much flatter.

Jia Lian snorted, and looked around the peak in front of him. Except for this mountain, which was different from what he remembered, the other mountains, rivers, and later generations were generally the same. Seeing this, Jia Lian couldn't help frowning.

There are many disasters in mountainous areas. The current terrain is different from that of hundreds of years later, and it was normal in the past.It's just that if the terrain changes caused by volcanoes or earthquakes, it is impossible that only one mountain will be very different from the later generations, while the adjacent mountain tops will not change; if it is caused by mudslides, landslides will often form large barrier lakes at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain wall that has landslide will become steeper, and there will be no mudslides that will flatten the entire mountain.

Jia Lian was frowning and contemplating what kind of disaster happened to the mountain in front of him that would cause such a change, when he suddenly felt the shadows of the trees and trees in the distance whirling and shaking irregularly.

Jia Jingke became an official and has been living in the north. Although he has been fighting in southern Xinjiang for more than a year, his eyesight is not comparable to that of the past, but his observation ability in the jungle is not as good as that of Jia Lian, who fought drugs on the border of Yunnan and Burma in his previous life.Jia Lian knew at a glance that the enemy was approaching under the cover of the jungle.

"Array!" Jia Lian shouted, and immediately the drummer beat the war drum vigorously.

In ancient times, there was no radio communication equipment, and tens of thousands of soldiers fought together on the battlefield. In addition to practicing formations on weekdays, the response on the battlefield was all based on the communication of battle flags and war drums.The direction in which the battle flag is waved and the slowness of the beating of the war drum represent different battle orders, and every soldier on the battlefield knows it clearly.

Although there are many people in the north of the imperial army, they have been fighting in the southern border for more than a year, and those who can survive have not already adapted to the jungle environment and have developed their eyesight.When Jia Lian gave the order, other people who reacted a little later than Jia Lian also saw that something was wrong.

The imperial army is well-trained. Although the military situation is urgent, they are busy and not chaotic. The various arms cooperate with each other. There are generals in command.Arrange the formation, and the imperial army advances in groups with complete formations.

Not only did Zhenhanguan make all-out arrangements, but he also knew that he was no match for the imperial army in terms of size and consumption, so he decided to complete his work in one battle. This unnamed mountain was the decisive battle that Zhenhanguan had been preparing for for many years. It was also the grave he dug for the imperial army.

Therefore, although the strength of the South Vietnamese army was not as good as that of the imperial army, they were prepared for it, and they were also very brave in their last stand.

The drums of the imperial army on the other end were loud, and the South Vietnamese army shouted like thunder, attacking the imperial army.

Among the deafening sounds, sharpened tree stumps flew towards the imperial army like a rain of arrows.It turned out that Zhenhanguan had already set up countless traps here, as long as the triggers were activated, these tree stumps were many times more lethal than the arrow rain.There are also all kinds of bamboo tips and flying stones thrown towards the court army like a storm.

The jungle warfare in ancient times was nothing more than those tactics and weapons. Of course, Zhenhanguan had already deployed it, and the imperial army had also taken precautions.Not only were soldiers sent to pay attention to clearing the traps, tripping ropes, and horse pits on the bottom of the feet during the march, but behind the soldiers who cleared the obstacles were the shieldmen.

Now the engine of the South Vietnamese army suddenly shut down, and the imperial army also reacted quickly. When the drums rang, the soldiers who cleared the obstacles retreated quickly, and the shield hands stepped forward.Most of the enemy's weapons hit the shield.

Because the imperial army was cautious and familiar with jungle warfare, Zhen Hanguan knew that it would be impossible to let all the imperial army enter the enveloping range of the mechanism, so he activated the mechanism first when the imperial army approached the dense traps on the ground.

The imperial army also knew that since the tree stumps and bamboo poles had been shot, they were not far from the trap on the ground. They saw groups of soldiers in the imperial army shouting in unison and rushing forward with carts.When they got close, the shield bearers moved out of the way, and the carts loaded with huge boulders pushed forward. The soldiers pushing the carts in each team cooperated tacitly, shouted in unison, and lifted the cart handles.The boulder on the cart rolled forward, and the shieldman quickly grabbed ahead of the soldiers pushing the cart and used his shield to protect Qi.

The huge boulder on the cart rolls forward with great momentum. If it encounters a trap, it will naturally fall into it and fill the trap; If you don't encounter obstacles from the mechanism, you can get out of the way and hurt the enemy.

I saw a group of soldiers withdrawing the boulder cart, and after dumping the boulder, another group of soldiers came immediately.The imperial army marched along the ruts rolled out of the boulders. Although they advanced slowly, they would not hit the trap.

In ancient times, there was no mechanized operation, and the layout of organs was entirely dependent on manpower. Those sharp tree stumps and sharp bamboo poles that would kill people were always exhausted.

Zhenhanguan is not an ordinary person either, they have set up a belt of traps, and after the imperial army has basically understood the belt of traps, they have already reached the mouth of a canyon, and boulders are rolling down one after another on both sides of the mountainside.How can a body of flesh and blood withstand such a huge boulder? Even though the imperial army was several times larger than the South Vietnamese army, they did not want to increase the casualties in vain. The men and horses yelled and cursed loudly to distract the enemy's attention.

The two sides come and go, and the fight is very intense.The IQ on the battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing was loud, both sides suffered casualties, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Because Zhen Han's Guan Department was in ambush first and waited for work with ease, although the imperial army responded effectively, the casualties were still slightly higher than the opponent's.It's just that there are many soldiers in the imperial court, and the situation of the battle may be reversed at any time.

Just as the two sides were fighting anxiously, a messenger came forward from far away and said, "Report to Marshal, General Liu said that he found traces of the traitor King Situ Shuo!"

Jia Jing sits in the army, Jia Lian is a vanguard general, and he was supposed to lead people to charge and break through, but the Flame Mountain in front of him is much taller than later generations, and the fact that the mountain journey is different shocked Jia Lian, so Jia Lian also stayed by Jia Jing's side.If something comes to mind suddenly, it is cheaper for Jia Jing to give orders as the coach.

When Jia Jing heard that Situ Shuo suddenly appeared at this moment, he was also surprised, and asked, "Where is Situ Shuo, and where is General Liu?"

The messenger reported one by one, saying that Liu Ping's troops were stopped by the South Vietnamese soldiers desperately, and they had already covered Situ Shuo's retreat towards the mountain, and pointed in the direction of Lieyan Mountain.

Jia Lian frowned again, feeling even more suspicious.When he was concentrating on mapping maps, he ordered Guan Qishou to try to send a letter into the enemy's camp. Later, the enemy's army was in chaos, and the tactics were not organized. Jia Lian tried to find out that Zhenhanguan was in the enemy's camp. , and has a considerable right to speak.

But according to Jia Lian's speculation, Zhen Hanguan is definitely not someone who sacrifices himself for others.From Bodhi Temple to Compassionate Hall, from Dai Quan to Huagulou, there is not a single force that does not have the shadow of Zhenhanguan behind it, but Zhenhanguan has protected itself very well, and has never shown its face until now.

Such a person is the most selfish and cherishes his life. A person like him will desperately protect Situ Shuo from retreating without hesitating to sacrifice the dwindling vitality under his own hands?No, there must be demons in every abnormality!

At this moment, the soldiers on the left and right flanks that were separated from the imperial army just now also rushed up from the side, stopping the South Vietnamese soldiers who were pushing down the rolling stones on the mountainside on both sides of the canyon. .

There is a saying in the art of war that if you encircle them ten times, now the imperial army not only has many soldiers, but also has high morale.Not only the commanders like Jia Jing, senior generals like Jia Lian and Liu Ping saw that the main force of the enemy army was here, but even the middle and lower rank officers and soldiers also saw it.Everyone thought that if the main force of the enemy army were not to flee today, the battle would be over quickly and they would be able to return home for the New Year this year.

So Jia Jing was about to order a reunion, and raised the commander-in-chief flag, but before he could wave the order, Jia Lian held it down.

Jia Jing looked at Jia Lian in a daze.If someone else was the coach, maybe he would be eager to make contributions at this time and order an all-out attack.But Jia Jing knew very well that Jia Lian had a great mind and helped the Jia family and the court to avoid many crises. There must be a reason for him to stop himself at this moment.

Therefore, Jia Jing also took back the handsome flag and asked: "What's the matter with Jia Xianfeng, why didn't you let me give the order?"

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Marshal, I just think everything is too coincidental. The time when our left and right wings attacked the mountainside coincided with the time when General Liu discovered Situ Shuo. Let's go after Situ Shuo."

Jia Jing is also a careful person, and he also noticed these coincidences.It's just that the South Vietnamese Army really has a lot of people here. According to Jia Jing's estimation, most of the main force of the South Vietnamese Army is gathered here. It would be a pity if we give up this opportunity for complete annihilation.

So Jia Jing said: "Although Jia Xianfeng's words are reasonable, our army is several times larger than the enemy's. Seeing that Zhen Hanguan is difficult to fly, how can we know that the current situation is Zhen Hanguan's intentional trick to attract our suspicion and buy time to escape? Commander-in-Chief I think that Zhen Hanguan's move may also be a desperation, and he sang an empty plan."

Jia Lian shook his head solemnly.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a great disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and the great opportunity to wipe out the enemy army is in front of us. If we let it go easily, it may arouse the suspicion of the middle and lower soldiers, which will hurt the morale.In the past, Jia Lian also felt that Zhen Hanguan was just using an empty city plan, but today, looking at the Lieyan Mountain, which is completely different from the later generations, Jia Lian always feels uneasy.

After pondering for a while, he said: "How about this, the marshal and General Liu will lead the army to pretend to attack the mountain, but they don't have to move too fast, and stop the army when they get to the middle of the mountain for rectification. The subordinates will first lead people up to investigate the enemy's situation. Let the arrows sound as a lesson, and the marshal will lead the army to attack the mountain. This way, we will not be afraid of Situ Shuo escaping, nor will we be afraid of any strange things on the mountain."

Jia Jing knew that Jia Lian was anticipating the enemy's opportunities everywhere, so he nodded his head and ordered people to go down to deliver the order.

On this side, Jia Lian originally brought Jia Yun and a dozen of Jia's children and [-] elite soldiers up the mountain, but Wei Jiu and the others were bold and refused to follow the main force, so they followed Jia Lian up the mountain.

Jia Lian and his entourage were not many in number, but in the jungle, it was difficult to see the exact number. Jia Lian and his entourage deliberately made a big noise, as if thousands of troops were attacking the Flame Mountain.

When Situ Shuo saw the imperial army chasing him from far behind, he almost peed his pants in fright.Gu Xing saw that among the group of people chasing after him was Jia Lian, and Tan Yue who was against him all the way when he chased from Baihe City to Guannei. He knew that although Jia Jing didn't follow, these people were the elite of the imperial army. So he pretended to flee in embarrassment, but he couldn't get rid of the imperial army, and led Jia Lian and his party up the mountain.

Jia Lian became more and more convinced that Zhen Hanguan's move was tricky, but Jia Yun and his party trained themselves according to the requirements of modern warfare. In combat, it should not be underestimated.And people like Wei Jiu, Qin Yue, and Guan Qishou don't have to worry, even if there is any danger, they can retreat unscathed.In comparison, the 300 elites who followed him up the mountain were inferior in strength, but these [-] people were also the best selected from the imperial army, and it was not easy for the South Vietnamese army to trap them.

Yi Gao was bold, analyzed the situation clearly, and Jia Lian continued to lead the people towards the top of the mountain, but at a slower speed.

Among the three hundred elites was Li Shanzi, who was originally from southern Xinjiang. Jia Lian casually asked the soldier, "Li Shanzi, when you were young, did you ever hear the old man from your hometown talk about this Lieyan Mountain?"

Li Shanzi was confused when he heard that, and said: "General Jia, you said this mountain is called Lieyan Mountain? The name is rather strange, but I have never heard of it, maybe I have little knowledge."

When Jia Lian heard this, every hair on his hair started counting down, and he finally figured out where the doubts were.
