The two horses were tied together, the man rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "I will save you again, you will never pay off the debt you owe me in this life!"

When Luo Ming saw the person, it was Yan Junyu.

I saw Yan Junyu wearing a plain white brocade robe, rusted with multicolored cloud patterns on the hem, and the bottom of the robe was outlined with silver threads, revealing mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the waves spread all the way to his waist, before the threads were gradually withdrawn, and again. It was replaced with a lake-blue silk thread, tied around his waist, gradually becoming the same color as the water and the sky, and gathered to the cuffs.

He stepped down on a white horse, holding a pair of gauntlet hooks in his hands, hacking and killing all the way, and the plain white robe on his body didn't even have a blood spot. Yan Junyu became more and more proud, and looked at Luo Ming with a smile.

When Luo Ming saw Yan Junyu, he was startled at first, and then full of doubts. Seeing him smiling and his brows open, the awkwardness in Luo Ming's heart suddenly melted away, and he couldn't help laughing along with him: "Bah , Pay off the debt? I haven’t settled with you for what you owe me! You have such a big face, how dare you ask me for a debt? You are my brother, it is so difficult to save me, it shouldn’t be, I still think you are late It's over!"

Yan Junyu heard the words, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly to Luo Ming: "Okay! Just because you are still willing to call me 'brother' at this time, you are a friend, I am worth it, and I don't care about life and death. Kill to the mountain to save you!"

Luo Ming and the two of them were talking, how could the gangsters let them be so at ease, the squirrel secretly winked, a gangster in Chu Yi understood, sneaked up behind Luo Ming, took advantage of the time when the two were distracted, raised his hand The Ghost Head Saber slashed at Luo Ming diagonally.

Yan Junyu saw it clearly, and didn't talk to him. He pulled the reins of Luo Ming's horse with one hand, and knocked his white horse with his feet. The white horse spread its four hooves, crossed the body with Luo Ming's black horse, and its rear hips were facing the sneak attacking bandit. , the white horse pawed the ground with its hind hooves, soared into the air, kicked back hard, and the two big horse hooves kicked at the sneak attacking bandit.The gangster was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, just dodging the horse's hooves, unexpectedly Yan Junyu had already arrived in front of him, and the gauntlet was hooked together like a sickle cutting grass, and he hugged the gangster's stomach.The Chuyi bandit screamed and fell to the ground.

All this was done in the blink of an eye. Everyone saw Yan Junyu and Luo Ming crossing each other. Before they could regain their senses, Yan Junyu chopped down the Chu Yi bandit.

The gangsters turned pale with shock. Luo Ming was already difficult to deal with, but Yan Junyu suddenly appeared again, like a divine soldier descending from heaven.When he went up the mountain, he rushed on a rampage, and the archers at the bottom of the mountain had already been dispersed by him. The Dongli soldiers were attacking the mountain with drums beating, and it seemed that they were rushing up the mountain.

Now it's a real dilemma.If you advance, you may not be able to get a bargain easily; if you retreat, you are reluctant to part with the white money.

Zhan Tianshu observed the situation, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, there are only two of them, but we have several hundred. Now, before the officers and soldiers from the bottom of the mountain come up, let's quickly kill these two people!"

The gangsters made sense when they thought about it. Luo Ming had been fighting for a long time, and his physical strength was exhausted. Even if Yan Junyu was added, he would be hard to beat with two fists and four hands.

Howling again and again, the gangsters quickly closed the battle circle, trapping Luo Ming and Yan Junyu in the battle circle, Zhu Tianshu gave an order, "Brothers, go!" .

Luo Ming stood side by side with Yan Junyu. Seeing this, instead of being afraid, he smiled and said, "Go out alive today, I have something to ask you. If you still don't tell me the truth, I won't beat you until you tell me!"

Yan Junyu understood, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Pointing at the bandits, Yan Junyu asked Luo Ming with a smile, "Bibi? Let's see who kills more. If you beat me, I will give you a big gift."

Luo Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Just compare, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

The two stopped talking, each protected each other's back, and fought with the bandits.

The battle lasted until dusk, when Zhao Meng and Liu Xi arrived with the garrison on Taiping Ridge, Luo Ming had already broken through the encirclement with Yan Junyu, and was commanding Dongli soldiers to chase and intercept the horse thief who slipped through the net.

Zhu Tianshu was captured alive by Luo Ming, and more than half of the other bandits were killed or injured, and the rest immediately scattered and fled when they saw the situation was not good.In one go, Luo Ming went to the lair of the horse thieves, found countless gold, silver, and soft goods, and rescued dozens of merchants and civilians who had been kidnapped by them up the mountain from the dungeon.I gave them money, comforted them, and sent them down the mountain. The people were very grateful and thanked them all the way.

After sending the people away, Luo Ming ordered the horse thief's stronghold to be set on fire, and handed over the horse thief captured alive to the garrison on Taiping Ridge, and asked them to take these people back to Taiping Ridge to return to their orders.

Luo Ming ordered troops to be mobilized, and after the assembly was completed, about 100 people were killed or injured after a small number of people were left behind to clean the battlefield and bury the corpses, and the rest set out overnight to Taipingling.

Through the col, is the Taiping Ridge.

The terrain around Taipingling is dangerous, and the mountains are steep. Between the two mountains, there is a pass on the only way to pass from north to south, which is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This is the second natural barrier in Dongli besides Yulong Pass, and it is also the last pass to enter. Its strategic position is even more important than Yulong Pass.

Because there is only one road to pass through, and there are heavy troops guarding the pass, Beimang cannot be broken by a strong attack for a while.After dragging for half a month, I wanted to send a group of surprise soldiers to climb over the high mountains on Taiping Ridge, bypass the pass, form a double encirclement situation, and attack the garrison on Taiping Ridge.

This was a miscalculation.This mountain on Taiping Ridge is different from the mountain that Luo Ming and the others overturned the day before yesterday.Compared with this mountain, the top of that mountain is more of a small bump, not even a serious mountain.

The mountains on Taiping Ridge have steep peaks, like knives and axes, almost straight up and down. It is difficult for ordinary people to walk and walk on the mountains. If a large number of war horses want to cross the mountains, it will be even more difficult.

The Beimang people wanted to cross the mountain to attack and outflank them several times, but they stopped on the mountainside, and they wanted to attack upwards, but there was no other way.The stone walls on the mountain are smooth, there is not even a place to grab and step, and no one can go up, let alone a war horse.

The pass was unbreakable, the detour was impassable, and the attack could not be completed for a long time, so the Beimang people reluctantly stopped and retreated to the north of Taipingling for fifty miles, and did not attack south again.

Of course, this is only one aspect of the reason, and the turmoil in the North Mang Kingdom is also one aspect of the reason.

In Beimang, Shi Hongsheng, the lord of Beimang, suddenly appointed a nursing child as the prince, which made his other dozen sons very dissatisfied.Especially Shi Fangcheng, the eldest son of the emperor who led the army to attack Dongli. Hearing the news, he immediately ordered his troops to withdraw and retreat - he was working hard on the front line, not to make his son the emperor.

When Luo Ming arrived at Taiping Ridge, it was already completely dark, and a bright moon hung in the sky, shining clear light on the snowy ground, illuminating the mountains and plains like daytime.

Before he reached the mountain pass, he saw a group of people from afar, neatly lined up, coming to meet him.

The group also saw Luo Ming, and the leaders immediately urged their horses to run over. When they came to Luo Ming's horse, they got off their horses, knelt down and saluted, "Sima Hong and Shen Bohai are meeting King Jing, and King Jing is a thousand years old."

Luo Ming also hurriedly jumped off his horse, and stretched out his hands to help each other, "You two generals, you are welcome to hold on to the city for two months, relying on natural dangers to block the 30 troops of Beimang, Luo Ming is very grateful!"

Sima Hong was ashamed and blushed, "It's all thanks to General Shen! If I hadn't lost the Yulong Pass, I wouldn't have made those Northern Mang Tartars so arrogant that they attacked five cities in three days to get here. The Taiping Ridge is coming up..."

Fearing that Luo Ming might misunderstand, Shen Bohai hurriedly explained, and hurriedly said, "General Sima, what are you talking about! If you hadn't cared about the 10,000+ people at the border and allocated half of your troops to escort the people into the customs, you wouldn't have lost this as tragic."

Sima Hong shook his head and sighed, "It's all because of my uselessness! If you lose your country, what else can you say?"

Luo Ming saw that his words were full of decadence and frustration, and he had no energy. He was downcast, and he smiled and comforted him: "Where is it, we can fight back if the country is lost. Slave, if you are serious, you will die, where can you find it again?"

After some consolation, at least Sima Hong cheered up.The three got on their horses and walked forward. Along the way, Shen Bohai told Luo Ming about the situation of the battle in the past two months.

A group of people walked and talked, and soon arrived at the mountain pass.I saw a small city built on the mountain, with a towering city wall, enclosing a square small city like an iron barrel.

The city gate opened, Jiang Nianbai and several civil officials came out to welcome them, and they all let out a sigh of relief when they saw that Luo Ming and the others were safe and sound.

After entering the city, Shen Bohai arranged for Luo Ming and others to live in. He insisted on vacating his general's mansion for Luo Ming to live in, but Luo Ming couldn't stop him. To be even more disturbing, he followed his will and let Zhao Meng, Liu Xi and other generals, along with Jiang Nianbai and other civil officials, live in the General's Mansion with him.

After settling down, Shen Bohai and Luo Ming washed away the dust.

During the war, everything was simple and not particular. A pot of stewed beef and several jars of spirits, everyone sat in the government office, talking about the battle situation these days and Luo Ming's encounters along the way while drinking.

When Shen Bohai and Sima Hong heard that Luo Ming had killed the bandit Ma Datou, they couldn't believe it. They paused for a while, and then shouted in unison: "Happy!" The impression of Luo Ming also changed from the unfamiliarity just now Politeness turns into admiration and closeness.

"A few days ago, Shi Hongsheng, the lord of the Northern Mang Kingdom, made his youngest son the crown prince. This move was really stupid. He destroyed the Great Wall by himself and helped us instead. Shi Hongsheng has sixteen sons in total, all of whom have grown up. This one who became the crown prince He is the youngest one, ranking seventeen. The people of Beimang are aggressive and have always admired the strong. He appointed a baby boy who can't even walk as the prince, and the sixteen sons are not willing to obey, everyone is full. Huo, especially Shi Fangcheng, the eldest son of the emperor who attacked Dongli, ordered to withdraw the troops when he received the news, and the 30 troops stopped the southward attack, and wrote a letter back to Xinyu, the capital of Beimang, to let his emperor Laozi quickly withdraw his order, otherwise he would transfer his horse. Head, go straight back to Xinyu Palace!"

Shen Bohai and Xiao Wenkai's tempers are the most compatible, both of them have straight tempers, and they have already drank two large jars of spirits while talking.

Liu Xi said: "This is a good thing. The more chaos they have, the better for us. We will have more confidence in sending people to negotiate peace tomorrow."

Everyone claimed that it was true, and they also said that Shi Hongsheng was a romantic and lustful person, the most beautiful person in his life, there are countless beauties in the palace, and the number of children is too many to count.

Jiang Nianbai saw that Luo Ming had been silent, and asked him if he was worried about the peace talks.

Luo Ming looked at Yan Junyu, smiled and said yes.

Jiang Nianbai had already analyzed several countermeasures along the way, and hurriedly talked to Luo Ming. Luo Ming praised his thoughtfulness a few times, and then pointed out a few unfeasible places to him. on something else.
