The mountain road is winding and rugged, with narrow roads extending to the end of the line of sight.
Jiang Pengji rides on Xiaobai's back with ease. As an excellent descendant of the Chalan Kingdom and the Northern Border Warhorse, Xiaobai's endurance and load-bearing capacity are extremely strong, and every step is steady and easy. Looking a little embarrassed.
"The mountain road to Kinmen County is so rugged, I don't know how difficult the road to Fenghu County will be..."
Yang Si also secretly complained that as a counselor, he could enjoy special treatment.
Most of the other soldiers were on foot, and he could ride a horse instead of walking on his legs, but the bumpy horseback still made him suffer.
Jiang Pengji saw that his face was pale and tired, and when he looked at the purplish red horse he stepped down, he was even more out of breath.
She took the initiative to suggest, "Why don't you come and ride Xiaobai, look at you like this, I see that you haven't arrived in Kinmen County yet, so you'll get tired first."
Yang Si was a little moved, but when he thought that all spiritual horses have temperaments, he felt a little cowardly.
"It won't take me off the horse?"
Yang Si grabbed the reins nervously, if it wasn't for Xiao Bai's discomfort, he would still want to hug the horse's neck for safety.
Surprisingly, Xiaobai not only did not throw Yang Si off the horse, but continued on his way without complaint.
"Don't cause trouble on purpose, Xiaobai's temperament is still good." Jiang Pengji changed into the horse that Yang Si had before, and controlled the horse with the reins, "I'm glad that the opponent this time is the Red Lotus Sect, if it is a smarter enemy, this I dare not go on the mountain road."
She looked around the terrain on horseback and laughed and joked.
Walking on the mountain road is indeed a strange move. It can unknowingly avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy. Whether it is a sneak attack or something else, it has a miraculous effect.
However, risks and benefits coexist.
The mountain road is not only suitable for them to attack the enemy, but also suitable for the enemy to ambush them.
Xiaobai walked very steadily, which was very different from the previous bumps, which made Yang Si feel a little better.
He said, "The situation is different. The lord's march is very fast, and even if the enemy wants to ambush, the time will not be able to catch up."
According to Yang Si's estimation, when they first captured the small town, the senior officials of the Red Lotus Sect had just received the news that they had arrived in the small town.
It takes time to pass the order, and by the time they reacted and prepared to ambush, we had already passed the mountain road and captured Kinmen County.
Jiang Pengji fights at a fast pace, but how many people can do this
Most people can only focus on one thing, and when they receive the news, the best fighter has been missed.
Why are good advisors so popular
Not only because they can achieve a decisive victory in a world where information communication is backward, but more importantly, they think more comprehensively and thoughtfully than ordinary people. It's like playing chess. Ordinary people take one step and the next step. For those who play with their minds, one step counts as ten steps.
As Yang Si said, although the mountain road leading to Kinmen County is long, the slope is relatively gentle, and the physical strength is less than expected.
Which of Jiang Pengji's pawns doesn't take weight training as a daily routine
For ordinary troops, this mountain road takes three or four hours to pass through, but for them it only takes more than one hour.
At the same time, the troops of Kinmen County have also been urgently transferred to Fenghu County for defense.
The Red Lotus Sect dispatched several teams of scouts, and they found suspicious people. They judged that this was an enemy scout playing outposts.
The scholar clenched his fists nervously, and the charcoal fire was burning in the house again, which was so hot that his palms were sweating.
"Sure enough—the purpose of the willow thief is Fenghu County—" The scholar nervously walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the hall, as if he was about to make a hole in the ground, he said, "Go check again, if there is a situation, hurry up Reward! If you find the main force of the willow thief, don't startle the snake."
"Yes!"
Not long after, another voice came from outside the hall, and the Red Lotus Sect found traces of scout activities at the exit of the mountain road in Fenghu County.
Every once in a while, someone would come and report back, which made the scholar extremely nervous.
Liu Xi dispatched a large number of scouts, what does this mean
This means that the number of troops they have pulled over is very large, and it is very likely that there are more than 10,000!
"Report-"
"Report-"
"Report-"
The messengers kept going back and forth, and every time they received a reply, the tension in the scholar's heart increased.
Finally, sweating profusely, he went out to look at the sky outside, and said in exasperation, "Have the reinforcements from Kinmen County come yet?"
The messenger bowed his head and replied timidly, "There is still half a day's journey."
half day
so slow
The scholar was angry and anxious, and he never thought that time would pass so slowly.
He is like an ant on a hot pan. For him, every minute and every second is suffering.
Now, he only hoped that Liu Xi would walk slowly, and it was best to wait until their reinforcements entered the city.
Otherwise, he really doesn't have the confidence to use his current soldiers and horses to fight against Jiang Pengji.
"Where is Mr. An? Go and invite Mr. An to discuss countermeasures."
Thinking of An Ying, the scholar had the backbone, and quickly asked the servant who served beside him to invite An Ying.
The servant ran fast on two legs, but An Yin was no longer in Kinmen County at this time.
"Do you know where Mr. An went?"
The scholar didn't feel that something was wrong. Although An Yin left, the brothers who had a good relationship with An Yin were still there. The scholar had no doubts.
The servant replied, "I have asked carefully, Mr. An seems to have gone to Honglian County overnight."
Shu Sheng frowned, not understanding what An Yin was doing in Honglian County at this time.
However, he didn't dwell on this issue for too long, because another messenger found the scout's trail.
What made the scholar even more heartbroken was that the place the scout discovered was getting closer and closer to Kinmen County.
In other words, when these scouts check the situation, Liu Xi's main force will attack.
Thinking of the reinforcements arriving in half a day, the scholar anxiously wanted to grab his hair bun.
Because of the frequent activities of the scouts and spying on their situation, the scholar never thought that this was just a bait laid by Jiang Pengji.
Officer Qi was in charge of the Central Army, and under his arrangement, a group of scouts were dispatched to scare (mood) the Red Lotus Sect.
As for the main force
At this moment, they have passed the mountain road, through a vast expanse of snow, and galloped towards Kinmen County.
Chengde County belongs to the northern region, and snow is heavy in winter.
Except for the official roads, the snow in other places is unswept, and it is generally waited for the weather to warm up to let them melt on their own.
Jiang Pengji had already asked everyone in the Pioneer Camp to prepare plain sackcloth and put it on his body as a cover. Today's weather is very good, the snow is brightly reflective, and the guards at the city gate will not stare at the snow outside the city for a long time in order not to hurt their eyes.
The garrison in Kinmen County was almost completely removed, leaving only 3,000 old and weak soldiers who cheated and played tricks.
Now that the sun is shining brightly, the reflections make their eyes very uncomfortable, and the weather is freezing cold outside, and there are very few Red Lotus Sects who are seriously guarding the city walls.
Naturally, they didn't notice a vanguard battalion of more than 4,000 people approaching quietly.
