The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 129 Fighting Oolong Ridge ([-])
"Brother, the next thing we have to do is force our way!" Zhao Gou said in a deep voice.

Lin Chong laughed and said, "Then do it like this!"

"Kill!" Yue Fei said simply.

So, the three of them once again fought side by side with the soldiers of the Southern Army.Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao each led their generals down from the mountain, and went straight to Zhao Gou and the others.As long as Zhao Gou is killed, the army will be victorious, and Fang La will appreciate him. There must be a heavy reward. How could he easily miss this opportunity that he had seized so hard.

Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao led the soldiers and directly surrounded Zhao Gou and others. They had seen Zhao Gou's martial arts before, and these people could not pose a threat to him. Only Lin Chong and Yue Fei suffered more attacks.In desperation, Zhao Gou had no choice but to withdraw to protect the two of them, so that his energy was continuously dispersed. If he was alone, he would indeed have a chance to escape.

The battle between the two sides reached a stalemate, and the navy chief also came ashore to join the battle group.Then, Wang Ji and Chao Zhong took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack Lin Chong and Yue Fei, and when they saw Zhao Gou, they avoided it from a distance.They knew they were not Zhao Gou's opponents, so they had to take advantage of the situation to retreat. They saw that Lin Chong and Yue Fei were brave and invincible, but it was a pity that the southern army had a large number of soldiers, and they were difficult to defend and were attacked by surprise, leaving them wounded.

Wang Ji and Chao Zhong succeeded in the first sneak attack, and were about to attack again, but they didn't want to shoot two sharp arrows from behind. They were caught off guard and died on the spot.Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others were taken aback. Even Zhao Gou was very curious. He looked intently and saw Hua Rong pulling the crossbow and shouting: "Marshal, the end is coming!"

Following Hua Rong's roar, Song Jiang and others rushed out from the side, and instead surrounded Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others. Zhao Gou couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw this situation. Lin Chong and Yue Fei were out of breath. They saw reinforcements coming , feeling at ease, and raised the spear in his hand to fight again.

Zhao Gou, Lin Chong, and Yue Fei fought from the inside, while Song Jiang and others fought from the outside to the inside. Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others were attacked by the enemy and forced them to retreat to one place. Huarong shot arrows from the side, which shocked them quickly He ordered to retreat, not daring to continue besieging Zhao Gou.

Even if they lose this good opportunity, they have to retreat. With their strength, they can't confront the Song army head-on. If they are really fearless on the mountain, they just need to defend. However, Zhao Gou, such a huge target, let them go from the mountain. up and down.Since they couldn't win, they had to retreat to the ridge. Fortunately, the Song army did not take the opportunity to occupy Wulongling.

Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others retreated, Song Jiang and others immediately came to meet Zhao Gou.However, Zhao Gou was not injured, only Lin Chong and Yue Fei were seriously injured.Zhao Gou nodded when he saw Hua Rong and Guan Sheng, and seeing Song Jiang and others coming, he exclaimed: "Song Xianfeng came just in time, if the army didn't come, we would definitely be attacked by the bandit army, really! A close call!"

Song Jiang replied: "The marshal led several brothers to come. We are really worried, and we have the order of the marshal, so we dare not act without authorization. Seeing that the marshal has not returned, we are afraid that something will happen, and we don't care about other things. We have to lead The army came to the rescue. Sure enough, I saw two brothers Hua Rong and Guan Sheng on the way. They were also very anxious, and they came to rescue the marshal together with us. If it weren't for the guidance of the two brothers, it might be difficult!"

Zhao Gou looked at Hua Rong and Guan Sheng and thanked, "Thank you two brothers!"

Guan Sheng and Hua Rong hurriedly shook their heads and refused repeatedly.The two of them knew very well that if Zhao Gou hadn't dragged the bandit army by himself, or stopped the ignition of the fire in time, their lives would be in danger.As the commander of an army, Zhao Gou dared to take risks in person. This courage and courage really made them admire. Even other generals admired him when they heard about it.

Military advisor Wu Yong said, "Marshal, we should return to the camp as soon as possible, it is not suitable to stay here for long!"

Zhao Gou nodded. They were still in Wulong Ridge. If Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others attacked from the Ridge, they would still be in danger.So, Zhao Gou ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and everyone went back in a mighty manner.In this battle, Zhao Gou snatched back the bodies of Jie Zhen and Shi Qian, and dealt a heavy blow to the Southern Army.Although Lin Chong and Yue Fei were injured, there was no serious problem, and it can be regarded as their first victory!

Let's talk about Marshal Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue on Wulong Ridge, after witnessing Zhao Gou's martial arts with their own eyes, their faces were a bit ugly, they both frowned and remained silent.

Shi Bao said in a deep voice: "The martial arts of the commander of the Song Army is too high, even if we add you and me, we are no match for him. If he didn't protect the people around us, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't be able to keep him. Now, the soldiers and horses of the Song Army have retreated to Tonglu County to station. If he finds other roads and passes through the mountains, Muzhou will be in danger. National division, it is better to go to Qingxi Da Nei to meet the emperor in person. Please add more soldiers and horses to defend Oolong Ridge can last for a long time."

Deng Yuanjue took it very seriously, and said: "The marshal's words are very appropriate, so the little monk will go."

Immediately, not daring to delay at all, he immediately rode his horse to Da Nei, Qingxi, passed through Muzhou first, and met Zu Shiyuan, Prime Minister of the Right, and said: "The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are strong and fierce, and they are overwhelming. The army and horses are coming. I am afraid that something will be lost. My little monk." I am here to play, please add troops and send generals to guard the pass."

After hearing this, Zu Shiyuan also felt that the situation was urgent. He decided to go to Qingxi County with Deng Yuanjue, and then left Muzhou.The next day, in the early court, Fang La was promoted to the palace, and the two prime ministers on the left and right, together with Deng Yuanjue, had finished their worship and dance.

Deng Yuanjue lived long live, and said: "The minister and monk Yuanjue led the imperial decree to guard Wulongling. Now, the city of Hangzhou has fallen, and the prince has died in battle. The Song army has arrived at Wulongling, and the Song army has been attacking Wulongling in recent days. , also beheaded several generals of the Song Army, and the momentum was broken. However, Zhao Gou has already entered Tonglu and stationed troops. , together to protect the Wulongling pass, in order to drive back the bandits and conquer the city."

Fang La also witnessed Zhao Gou's prowess with his own eyes, but he was also helpless in some things, and sighed: "The troops from all over the place have been dispatched. Recently, the pass on Yuling in Shezhou was very tight, and tens of thousands of soldiers were sent away. .There are only soldiers and horses in the imperial forest, and the widows want to protect the inner city, how can they be scattered around?"

Deng Yuanjue played again: "If your Majesty does not send out reinforcements, the ministers and monks will be helpless. If the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have crossed the mountains, how can Muzhou keep it?"

Lou Min, Prime Minister of Zuo, came out of the squad and said: "This Wulongling pass is also an important place to go. I know that there are always [-] soldiers in the imperial forest, and they can be divided into [-]. Go with the national division to guard the pass."

Fang La refused to listen to Lou Minzhong's words, and insisted on refusing to dispatch the imperial army and horses to rescue Wulongling.Just because he himself was also worried that if the Song Army really broke through Wulongling, took Muzhou directly, and then went south to attack Qingxi County, an army of 2 people would not be able to compete with the Song Army's tens of thousands of troops. Row.

At the end of the day, everyone went out of the palace.

Deng Yuanjue sighed in his heart, Prime Minister Lou discussed with the officials, and he could only let Prime Minister Zu divide one general from Muzhou, send five thousand troops, and go to protect Wulongling with the national division.Therefore, Deng Yuanjue and his ancestors came back to Muzhou from afar, selected five thousand elite soldiers and horses, and one of the chief generals, Xia Houcheng, went back to Wulongling Village and told Shi Bao about it.

After Shi Bao heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Since the imperial court does not send out the imperial army, we will guard the pass and not go to battle. Pass down the commander's order and order the four navy chiefs to guard the bank of the Tantou River. The ships passing by should be ignored, they will all retreat, and they must not be pursued, so as not to lose the navy."

In addition, Zhao Gou led the army to attack Wulongling continuously, but they all returned in vain, and lost a few generals. Therefore, Zhao Gou decided not to attack for the time being, but just waited for the opportunity.Unexpectedly, it has been more than [-] days since this wait, everyone was a little anxious,

Zhao Gou had already sent someone to ask the people living around Wulong Ridge where the path to Wulong Ridge was.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I still haven't heard any news.Zhao Gou was also silent, frowning, and muttered: "Is it true that Wulong Ridge cannot be captured? If you can't capture Wulong Ridge, how can you capture Muzhou?"

"Marshal, there is an old man outside the camp who said he has something important to explain to the Marshal!" the man bowed and said.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Bring him in!"

"Marshal, this old man knows another path up the mountain, which can help Marshal!"

Zhao Gou was shocked when he heard that there was a trail to go to Wulongling. He raised his head and looked intently, only to see that this person was a wrinkled man who was sixty years old, with dark skin and cloudy eyes There was a beam of light, not like an old man, but like a practitioner living in seclusion here.

"I also ask the old man to give me some pointers, the kid is very grateful!"

Seeing that Zhao Gou was so courteous and virtuous, the old man hurriedly said: "Marshal, you don't have to be so polite. The old man is just a commoner here, how can he be worthy of the Marshal's gift. The old man has lived here for generations, and he knows the terrain of Wulongling very well. Fang La led the army to capture it. Here, drive us away, a few days ago during the war, the old man just happened to see the marshal showing his power on the mountain, and the heavens have the eyes to send the marshal to rescue us."

Zhao Gou replied: "If you really point out the maze and help our army, I promise you to repel the bandit army and never disturb the local people, let alone expel them. In addition, I will give you a reward, how about it?"

"The old man is here to thank the marshal!" The old man replied respectfully, "The old man led a small road to Wulongling, and that path is Dongguan, not far from Muzhou. If the marshal arrives at Dongguan, the north gate will be open It is Muzhou; if you want to attack Wulongling, you only need to turn around the west gate and you will be there."

Zhao Gou suddenly realized and was overjoyed. He immediately ordered someone to take some money and give it to the old man, and then let him stay in the barracks for dinner.Zhao Gou watched the old man leave, and thought to himself: "I never thought that there is a small road to Wulong Ridge. It's just that I have been in a puzzle. Now that I know it, let's see how you can escape!"
