Chapter 423 Red Clay Ridge Blockade (Part )

Luo Hong led an army of 100,000 people out of the east city gate and marched along the official road towards Shichang County, trying to bypass Shichang County and reach Yunchuan Pass before dawn.

An hour later.

The Beiyuan army began to enter the eastern mountainous area of ​​Tianwu City. Luo Hong knew very well that the army's withdrawal from Tianwu City would not be concealed by Yan Jun, and Yan Jun would definitely ambush the army halfway. Once Yan Jun attacked from both sides, the consequences would be disastrous.

Luo Hong couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of the terrifying bomb in Yan Jun's hand. He didn't want to leave his life in the Central Plains, so he had to think of a reasonable excuse to leave the army alone, and then take a small road to sneak back to Dayuan. .

Luo Hong suddenly thought of the 50,000 yuan army remaining in the eight northwest states of Yan State and suddenly had an idea, and immediately said loudly: "General Mu, pass my order. The army should stop and rest for a quarter of an hour, and immediately summon all the generals for discussion.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Leopard Division General Mu Ao saluted with his hands clasped in his fists, turned around and left quickly...

Soon, a hundred thousand troops stopped on the official road in the mountains, and the generals of each division gathered around Luo Hong's carriage.

"Generals, I just suddenly thought of the 50,000 troops we have left in the eight northwest states of Yan State. Now that the Yan army has heavenly guards, the city cannot be defended at all. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, I decided to personally Take a trip and bring all the troops there back to Dayuan."

"After I leave, the army will be fully commanded by General Mu Ao of the Leopard Division. We will meet up at Shengtian City. Okay, after I have finished speaking, the army will continue to set off."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mu Ao quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will promise to complete the mission and bring the army back to Shengtian City safely."

Luo Hong nodded, then left the army with a group of bodyguards and disappeared into the vast night...

Shichang County.

The lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion.

General He Lin of the Xiaoqi Guard, General Qiu Li of the Yingyang Guard, and General Bao Kui of the Zhenwu Guard were gathered around the sand table to discuss the best place to stop the Yuan army.

Zhang Jian suddenly hurried into the lobby from outside, clasped his hands and saluted, "Reporting to the three generals, they just received the flying pigeon message from the headquarters army. An hour ago, Luo Hong personally led an army of 100,000 people to leave from the east gate of Shatucheng. , are rushing towards us at this time, and their purpose is to go north to Yunchuan Pass via Shichang County. Your Majesty has ordered us to block it with all our strength, and attack in front and behind with Longwu Guard and Jinwu Guard, so as not to completely annihilate the Northern Yuan army. "

He Lin, Qiu Li, and Bao Kui all bowed their hands and said, "I obey the order!"

"In an hour, it seems that the Northern Yuan army should have entered the mountains by now. General Qiu, General Bao, time is urgent and we will choose the Hongtu Ridge closest to Shichang County to stop the Yuan army. I wonder what the two generals think?"

Qiuli Baokui nodded in unison, "Agree!"

"Okay, then I will tell Longwuwei and Jinwuwei as soon as possible that we will set up an ambush in Hongtu Ridge to stop the Yuan army."

"Don't worry, General. I promise to complete the mission."

Zhang Jian cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

Hongtu Ridge has a radius of more than ten miles and is located thirty miles west of Shichang County. The mountains there are steep and there are many cliffs of different heights on both sides of the official road. It is an excellent place to ambush the Yuan army with bombs.

After Zhang Jian left, He Lin, Qiu Libaokui immediately led his army out of the city and rushed to Hongtu Ridge at full speed.

Half an hour later.

When the army arrived at Hongtu Ridge, He Lin immediately ordered his soldiers to quickly occupy all the cliffs on both sides of the official road, while other sergeants ambush on the mountains on both sides of the official road.

Another half hour passed, and the ambush of the Valiant Cavalry Guard, Ying Yang Guard, and Zhenwu Guard was all ready, waiting for the Beiyuan army to enter the ambush circle.

On the other side, Mu Ao led an army of 100,000 people and continued to move forward along the official road. The leading troops soon arrived at Hongtu Ridge. When they saw the sudden appearance of the cliffs beside the official road, the Eagle Division General Ma Ma was walking at the front of the team. Zhi immediately ordered the army to stop advancing.

Ma Zhi immediately turned over and dismounted, took the torch and came to the bottom of the cliff. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was red sand. It seemed that this was the legendary Red Clay Ridge.

Hongtu Ridge is one of the few ambush points from Tianwu City to Shichang County. There are many cliffs here. Ma Zhi knew about this place before setting off. In order to ensure the safe passage of the army, he had to send people to investigate.

"Captain Yang, the mountains here are steep and are an excellent ambush location. Take someone to the front to check carefully."

Yang Tong, who had been following Ma Zhi, clasped his hands and saluted, "Yes, general! Brothers, follow me."

Yang Tong immediately got on his horse and walked into Hongtu Ridge with his five hundred cavalry.

The advancing army suddenly stopped. Mu Ao, the general of the Leopard Division who was sitting in the carriage, immediately asked: "What's going on? Why did the army stop again?"

General Zheng Jie of the Eagle Division, who had been following the carriage, immediately said, "General Mu, I'll go up and check it out right now, and I'll be back soon."

"Go back quickly."

"Yes, General Mu!"

After a while, Ma Zhi and Zheng Jie came to the carriage together. Ma Zhi immediately said: "Report to General Mu that the army has arrived in the Hongtuling Mountains. The general is worried that Yan Jun has an ambush and has sent people to investigate. We will wait until it is confirmed that it is safe. Let’s pass it again.”

Mu Ao stood up and got out of the carriage, and came directly to Ma Zhi. He reached out and patted Ma Zhi on the shoulder, "General Ma is brave and careful. This matter has been handled properly. When the army returns to Shengtian City, I will invite you in front of the king." achievement."

Ma Zhi quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, General Mu!"

Mu Ao nodded, "General Ma, go back immediately. If there is no problem in Hongtu Ridge, the army will pass through quickly."

"Yes, General Mu!"

Ma Zhi cupped his hands again, turned around and left quickly...

It is said that Yang Tong followed Ma Zhi's order and led his five hundred cavalry into Hongtu Ridge. Along the way, there were cliffs every few hundred meters on both sides of the official road. The tall ones were four or five feet tall, and the short ones were two or three feet tall. Zhang, there is no way to go up without a ladder, unless you go around the mountain and go up from the back mountain, but this will take a lot of time, and Yang Tong doesn't have time, but what if there is an ambush on the cliff?

Yang Tong's head began to work rapidly, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of a good idea. He wanted to know if Yan Jun was ambushing him on the cliff, so he could just throw stones on it.

If there is an ambush, it must be very quiet on the cliff. If there is no ambush, there must be birds flying away from the rocks on the cliff.

"Brothers, let's throw stones at the cliff together."

"Yes, Captain!"

The five hundred sergeants dismounted one after another, picked up the stones on the official road and threw them onto the cliff. The stones suddenly fell from the sky. Many of the Cavalry Guard sergeants who were ambushing on the cliff had their heads smashed by the stones and were bleeding. The accompanying military doctor immediately stepped forward. Bandaging the wounds of the wounded, in order not to alarm the enemies under the cliff, all the injured sergeants endured the tremendous pain and did not make a single sound.

When Major General Liu Guangren saw the enemy throwing stones at the cliff, he immediately released the birds in the cage. This enemy was really cunning. Fortunately, the general had already ordered us to remember to take a few birds with us when we left the city, otherwise The enemy really found out.

Thinking of his General He Lin, Liu Guangren's face was filled with little stars of admiration. Ever since the former Zhenwu Guard General Xu Yan sacrificed his life and 30,000 Cavalry Guards successfully broke through from the heavy encirclement of 80,000 rebels, the Cavalry Guards have become With the addition of Dayan's new First Guard, General He Lin's prestige among all Dayan's guards has reached its peak.

Yang Tong saw several mountain birds flying from the cliff and immediately nodded, "Brothers, get on your horses, let's go to the next cliff to check."

"Yes, Captain!"
