Liaozhai Great Sage

"Don't take too much. Isn't the ordnance here enough to equip an army of [-]? I only need equipment for an army of [-]. However, it has been sealed for decades, and the bow and crossbow are no longer usable. I want to take all the arrows. The armor I don't need too many, [-] sets are enough, too much is useless, and it will affect the march." Li Xiuyuan said.

He currently has [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, and it is enough to arm his own army first.

With [-] elite soldiers, as long as they don't rebel, it is not a problem to run rampant in the world.

And he doesn't plan to expand the army without restraint. It's too taboo to be so big.

"General Li just needs to know what's going on in his mind. Anyway, I will be dead by then, so I won't be able to control the consequences." Li Bing said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It's good that my lord can think like this. Everyone is mortal. If your lord helps me today, I will definitely not regret it in the future."

"Brother Wang, I will trouble you for the next thing. Move the weapons today, arm the infantry tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow to destroy the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin. If everything goes well, we can finish the battle before the spring and return to Jinling City." .”

"Brother Li, don't worry, leave this matter to me." Wang Ping replied.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I'm relieved to have Brother Wang's words, by the way, what about Xing Shan."

"The little one is here." Xing Shan came out with his fists clasped.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There can be no archers in the army. I will send you [-] infantry back and let you lead alone. I can't let your archery skills go to waste."

"Thank you, young master." Xing Shan, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

He suddenly changed from a guard to a commander of 5000 people.

Li Xiuyuan said: "However, to be a general with 5000 troops, you must have real skills. Although I have assigned you troops, whether you can do it or not will depend on your skills. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, young master, I understand." Xing Shan said confidently.

In the army, the selection of Dutong, Battalion Commander, and Captain is based on martial arts and skills, not just relying on relationships.

If his own ability is not enough and he is defeated by other challengers, then Xing Shan can only give up his position.

"Okay, that's all for today, let's all go back and rest." Li Xiuyuan said, and then bowed his hands to Li Bing, "I'll be accompanied by Mr. Magistrate."

"It's okay, please General Li keep his promise, otherwise I will not be safe if I am a ghost." Li Bing said with a straight face.

Chapter 478 The King of Nine Mountains Is Defeated

One day repairs, and the second day dispatches weapons and armor.

In the early morning of the third day, meals were prepared in the army. After breakfast, the [-] troops set out and left Yangzhou City.

Not a moment wasted.

However, Li Xiuyuan was delayed in Yangzhou City for three days, but Li Liangjin had already made a thorough investigation. He was stationed a hundred miles away from Yangzhou City, and his purpose was to facilitate the capture of Yangzhou City in the future, so some spies and scouts had already been dispatched. come over.

"Li Xiuyuan's army has moved? Very good. If he wants to attack me, he must go to the Golden Altar. I can set up an ambush near Jintan Mountain and attack halfway. Let him lose his troops first, and then defend against the mountain. Then Li Xiuyuan will definitely attack." If you don't fight, you will be defeated." In the tent, Li Liangjin heard that Li Xiuyuan's army was dispatched, instead of worrying, he became happy.

He felt that this was an excellent opportunity for him to defeat Li Xiuyuan.

After all, Li Xiuyuan came from afar, and he was prepared. As long as the ambush succeeds, Li Xiuyuan will definitely be defeated.

Immediately, he dispatched troops and sent a full 2 people to Jintan Mountain, preparing to ambush Li Xiuyuan on the way, while he brought the rest of the troops here to wait for the good news ahead.

But every movement of Li Liangjin's army was clearly seen by Li Xiuyuan's divine eyesight.

"Set up an ambush for me? This Li Liangjin is an idiot who reads military books, isn't he? Yangzhou is not all his territory. Could it be that he takes it for granted that I will follow the path he set up for ambush?" Li Xiuyuan, who was among the leaders, couldn't help but see this scene I can't help but laugh.

It was said that the location where Li Liangjin set up an ambush was good, but he didn't think about it. He could know his marching route and departure time, so couldn't he know his?

In this battle, knowing each other well, there is no trick to use, and they can only fight for their own strength and power in an upright manner.

"Xing Shan, you lead your troops and the [-] infantry to Jintan Mountain, by the way, Wu Xiang will also go with you, in case of accidents, if you encounter bandits, let them go up the mountain first, and then surround the mountain If you don’t attack, it’s a lonely mountain. You only need to surround it for ten days, and the rebels will naturally break down without attacking. You just need to remember not to attack the mountain. , once surrounded, they will definitely mess up their own way.”

Li Xiuyuan suddenly issued an order at this moment: "Han Meng, you and the others will follow me to lead the cavalry to bypass the Jintan and go straight to Li Liangjin's station."

"Yes, General." Everyone clasped their fists together in response.

Wang Ping frowned and said, "Brother Li, you have to cross the river to bypass the Golden Altar. If there are so many soldiers and horses to cross the river, I don't know how much time it will take."

"It doesn't matter, our army has a pontoon bridge, and it only takes half a day to cross the river." Li Xiuyuan glanced at the Yangtze River King who was riding beside him.

King Yangzijiang cupped his fists and saluted, expressing his understanding.

His thousand-year-old Chinese alligator has turned into a spirit, and turned into a pontoon bridge to allow the army to cross the river, which is just a matter of effort.

However, the Yangzijiang King is the only one who can do this effort. Ghosts and gods cannot stay in the army. Ordinary spirits do not have such skills. Only spirits who have learned the Tao in the water can do this. Looking at all the spirits, And which ghost is more suitable for turning into a pontoon than the alligator?

If it weren't for this, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't use Diliujiang to attract King Yangzijiang.

Soon, the soldiers divided into two groups, the infantry headed for Jintan Mountain, Li Xiuyuan led [-] cavalry around Jintan Mountain and went straight to the residence of Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin.

After five days.

Li Liangjin's [-] soldiers went to Jintan Mountain, and in less than half a day, they were surrounded by [-] soldiers led by Xing Shan.

The rebels panicked instantly and led the troops to charge, but Xing Shan and Wu Xiang just defended and did not attack. The infantry shields they took from the armory stood at the foot of the mountain, completely surrounding Jintan Mountain.

On the same day, Li Xiuyuan's cavalry also came to the foot of a big mountain.

Looking from the foot of the mountain, there are many banners and flags on the mountain, the camps are undulating, and there are military flags with the word "Nine Mountain King" fluttering.

It is the residence of Li Liangjin, King of Nine Mountains.

"Young master, this is a mountainous area. We are cavalry. Although we arrived first, it is not easy to attack." Han Meng hesitated.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Who said to attack? The cavalry are not attacking the city, they are charging. At this time, Jintan Mountain is besieged, and this place is watched by my ten thousand iron hooves. It is only a matter of time before Li Liangjin perishes. The county town belongs to Li Liangjin, right? Very well, the cavalry besieged the city for half a day to see if Li Liangjin came to save him or not. If he didn’t save him, he would take it, and then go to the county town to rest and wait for work, to see how Li Liangjin moves?"

"I have [-] cavalry. As long as Li Liangjin goes out of the mountain, whether he is fleeing or fighting, I can catch up to the battle in an instant. He has many infantry, as long as they are not on the mountain, how can they fight against me?"

"Brother Li wants to trap Li Liangjin to death, and win without fighting." Wang Ping sighed after hearing the words: "This is indeed a good strategy."

"Let's go." Li Xiuyuan turned around and left on the dragon colt.

Among the ghosts and gods under his command, it is not that there are no ghosts and gods who were generals in his lifetime. When he was in Jinling City, he often asked the ghosts and gods under his command some experience in leading troops in battle.

Although not as good as those famous generals, at least he is much better than some fledgling people, and he will not make some of the simplest mistakes.

After about half an hour.

The news of the siege of the county reached Li Liangjin's ears.

"What? That warrior Li Xiuyuan bypassed Jintan Mountain, and now he is besieging Fengyi County at the foot of our mountain with [-] cavalry?" Li Liangjin panicked immediately when he heard the news.

This panic was not because of Li Xiuyuan's sudden appearance, but because the tricks he was relying on were useless.

It was originally an ambush, but now that Li Xiuyuan appeared here, wouldn't that mean that his plot was seen through?
