Chapter 1366
Ying Yi sat quietly cross-legged with the long blade between his knees. Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun were already in full military uniforms and sat around him with a stern look.
More than 3,000 soldiers and horses were absolute silence, and the atmosphere in the valley was condensed.
Seeing the setting sun, there is no return at night: "Report, my lord, I found the traces of Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin's two thieves!"
Ying Yi spirit Yizheng: "Where?!"
"Hao Yaoqi's team is on the left, Liu Zongmin's team is on the right, and they are all hiding in the forest outside ten li or so!"
Ying Yi said with a smile: "Okay! Let's explore again!"
He turned his face to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun and said, "What I worry about is that there are no foreign thieves who will not come. It seems that I am still He just gave the thief a high look."
Then he added, "But on second thoughts, it's reasonable. Hao Yaoqi sacrificed his troops for the two million silver tael. If he didn't gain anything, how could he be willing? Liu Zongmin also came to take the silver at the order of the thief. Now that there are traces of the silver, how could they watch it helplessly."
"Let the soldiers eat and drink and prepare for the battle."
Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun did not dare to neglect immediately, and ordered them all the way, and more than 3,000 soldiers ate dry food on the spot.
The situation on the ground in Nanyang is not complicated. In addition to Ying Yi's hidden army, there were only Huguang soldiers, Hao Yaoqi, and Liu Zongmin's bandit soldiers. But because of this, Ying Yi was easy to take chestnuts from the fire.
Zuo Liangyu already knows that Zheng Yunzhi has '5,000' young and strong. But Zuo Liangyu's inherent thinking never put the '5,000 young men' on the hostile side. He would never have thought that Ying Yi would play him in the palm of his hand like this. He thought that Zheng Yunzhi had brought these 5,000 young men to fight fiercely with Li Guo from Kaifeng.
As for Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, I don't know.
They all stared at 'silver'.
The soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and they were rewarded for not harvesting at night.
"There is an officer and soldier coming from the direction of Yuzhou to Baihe Valley, which is ten miles away."
Ying Yi heard this and said: "How many people? Who?"
Ye Bu said: "Up and down 15,000, there is a word 'left' written on the flag."
Ying Yi waved his hand in thought: "Try again, continue Pay attention to the direction of Yuzhou."
"Here!"
Wait for the night to leave, Ying Yi said to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun: "Zuo Liangyu is a veteran, he must be Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin will not be ignored. Oh, there are three troops and horses within ten miles, three directions. Interesting."
Zhou Li pondered then said: "Your Excellency means that there is also a force behind Zuo Liangyu. Soldiers and horses?"
Zhu Bingkun laughed: "They are all veterans. Zuo Liangyu sent 15,000 people, he has 40,000 people, also 20,000 5,000. Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin are on the left. There are more than 10,000 people on the one and the right, and they are each other's horns."
Ying Yi laughed: "I heard that Zuo Liangyu has a son named Zuo Menggeng, and these 5,000 people must be on the left. Meng Geng is the leader. Zuo Liangyu is still hiding behind. When you talk about the end, is Zuo Liangyu the top one, or Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin?"
Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Lidu He smiled: "It should be an adult's chess move."
"Ten li, it's almost time." Ying Yi stood up: "Go on and prepare, at most one hour, when the weather will kill Now, the moon is dark and the night is killing people. The wind is high and the flames are high."
...
Although the soldiers are expensive and fast, the march of the army is bloated after all. Ying Yi waited and waited, but one hour didn't come. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, during which the night did not receive and reciprocate several times, the Zuozi banner appeared outside the Baihe Valley.
"didn't expect Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, the two thieves to be a little smart."
Ying Yi pondered then said: "It didn't move."
15,000 officers and soldiers have arrived outside the White River Valley, but the two thieves hiding ten miles away on the left and right sides have not moved since this one hour.
Sure enough, even a thief is capable.
"Sir, what should I do now?"
Zhou Li asked frowning.
Ying Yi said with a smile: "It's all on my plate, can you still get out? Listen to my orders, don't worry."
"Come in."
Outside the valley, the officers and soldiers pressed their heads, and a group of men and horses sneaked in.
"Will you fight?" Zhou Li was a little impatient.
Ying Yi said with a smile: "they go in, we just need to retreat. But before we retreat, we still have to fight a dozen times."
He waved his hand, and there was a messenger beside him The soldiers waved the command flag, and most of the more than 3,000 soldiers hidden in the valley began to withdraw to the mountain beams, and a small part was hidden in the forest. As the command flag was waved, three long horns sounded like goose chirping, boom boom boom boom Inside, a hundred and ten feathered arrows flew out, and suddenly screamed a few times.
A team of officers and soldiers entering the valley were held in place by a sparse rain of arrows, and a few people died, and they had the meaning of retreat.
As if it was a signal, these screams sounded, and most of the officers and soldiers outside the valley began to enter the valley. The seven Eight Sects cannons were opened and aimed at the middle of the valley. At the same time, about a thousand people separated from the large army and quickly entered the valley.
In the darkness, the bowstring banged, followed by the crackling of the fire.
Ying Yi was condescending, her face indifferent.
A thousand people, another thousand people, a total of 3,000 people entered the valley, and the hundred archers who had been placed in the valley by Ying Yi were forced to retreat again and again, and there were also casualties.
The officers and soldiers were very cautious and did not rashly advance. They compressed the space in the valley step by step. When Ying Yi saw this, he knew that it was almost the same. After a while, three short goose horns sounded. The archers in the valley were immediately relaxed and hurriedly looked away from the beams on both sides.
At this time, I heard the officers and soldiers in Guzhong shouting: "The thief has gone to the beam!" .
Ying Yi saw clearly that he didn't want to eat the guns of the officers and soldiers, and immediately led people to retreat into the jungle and disappeared. The officers and soldiers fired a few rows of guns, but when they saw that there was no response, they sent a thousand people of various sects to check the beams on both sides, but there were no traces of anyone.
Zuo Menggeng was very happy.
"Hao Yaoqi is keeping secrets, so there must be not many people in the valley, so it's no wonder that he was easily forced away." Zuo Menggeng thought in his heart, he was very excited, and shouted: "The order goes on, don't move without authorization. The wooden boxes, quickly transport them all out, we will go back to Yuzhou!"
The night was dark, Zuo Menggeng quickly transported dozens of heavy boxes out of the Baihe Valley, and carried them to the carriage one after another. , even before he had time to look carefully, he waved his troops away.
Although Zuo Menggeng is young, he is also a veteran. What's more, Zuo Liangyu gave instructions when he came, only that the thief was by the side, so he might not have been watching, and he had to do it as soon as possible.
He kept that in mind, and he was impatient at the moment. Although there are 15,000 soldiers and horses, it is not safe.
At this time, Liu Zongmin, who was ten miles away on the right, heard the sound of the cannon, and could not help but sneered up: "What a barbarian who waved the flag, he really has the intention of betraying the king."
The left and right doubts : "Why did Zhang Panzi say this?"
Liu Zongmin spat and said, "Everyone knows that the old man was ordered by King Chuang to get the silver, but Hao Yaoqi said it was not in his hands. He got the news early on, but he didn't report it, and he said that it wasn't in his hands. He lied and lied. What if he didn't want to?
