, riding on the horse and shining the whole army.

Since there are no soldiers in front, we should enter the mountain at full speed and pass through this dangerous area as quickly as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares. Leave a special operations team member behind and ask him to wait for the entire army to blow up the entrance and cut off the enemy's pursuit.

.

Four horses were changed to two horses abreast, and after entering the mountain, they advanced at full speed. The infantry led by Pei Yuanqing in the rear also received the same order. When Luo Yu and Li Xiuning rode their horses to Xue Li, there was a muffled sound behind them, and then

The ground shook for a moment and then returned to calm. The entrance must have been blown down.

Xue Li saluted and said: "General, the official roads on the left and right have been searched for ten miles, and no trace of the enemy has been found. My subordinates have ordered two thousand cavalry to search and march forward." Li Xiuning said: "While it is dawn now, the whole army will follow closely.

Pass through the valley at full speed, and the front troops will move forward with caution after leaving the valley, and report immediately if there is any situation."

Xue Li accepted the promise, mounted his horse and galloped forward. Luo Yu called over four special forces members and asked them to work in pairs to hold a gunpowder bomb to blow up the official roads of Yuanxian and Wenxi at appropriate locations.

Prevent the pursuit of troops from both places.

The team members took the order, and Luo Yu said: "Be careful. The sound just now should have alerted the enemy, and maybe they are chasing you now. If you encounter the enemy, don't be a hero. As long as you can blow up the mountain, it is victory. Remember, I want you to come back alive."

!" After saying that, he turned around

Looking behind me, I saw that the two team members who were on guard outside the mountain had not come back yet. They might have been dead. I felt sad. Although they had not gotten along for a long time, they were my students after all. They sacrificed their lives for the country when they were in their twenties. There was no fanfare, only

No body is seen after death.

The faces of the four team members were resolute, but the corners of their eyes were wet. Their feelings were different from Luo Yu's. Over the past few months, from supporting each other during training to caring for each other on the battlefield, people who have not joined the army cannot understand that.

A kind of comradeship.

Luo Yu waved his hand, and the four of them no longer delayed, mounted their horses, turned to the left and right official roads under the gaze of the morning sun, and disappeared, leaving only the sound of horse hooves echoing in their ears.

With the arrival of the infantry phalanx, Luo Yu and Li Xiuning rode forward. After entering the valley, Luo Yu realized that this was not a mountain road, but an ancient quarrying road. The mountains on both sides were mined and devastated.

One cave, one in the west. On the left, there are a few unknown small bowl-shaped trees growing on the high mountain top. On the right, there are more mines. The mountain is as flat as a knife. The top of the mountain is bare, not even a weed can be seen.

After walking for five or six miles, there were two muffled sounds behind me. The ground shook for a while and then gradually calmed down. It must have been that two or four team members blew up the official roads on the left and right, blocking the pursuing troops from both places.

road.

The road became wider and wider as they walked, until they came to a large semicircular stone field. Luo Yu didn't know why this place was called Falling Stone Valley. The end of this stone field could not be seen at a glance. The traces of quarrying continued forward, and there were three or five ambushes inside.

Thousands should be no problem.

The reason why it is said to be semicircular is because about ten feet of blue-gray stones on the top remain there, forming a semicircular shape, while the lower part has long been mined, and gravel falls from time to time.

The vibration caused more rocks of different sizes to pour down and fall to the ground, making a non-stop sound. Fortunately, there was no one underneath, otherwise they would have been smashed to death.

Luo Yu had no intention of admiring the scenery here. He was still five miles away from the exit. He had eaten something since yesterday afternoon and had not eaten anything yet. Coupled with his long-term tense nerves, Luo Yu felt that his physical strength was reaching the limit. He took it from the infantry.

They brought some cold steamed buns over. They also brought dry food. They took the opportunity to eat dry food during their break last night, so they were full of energy and moved forward quickly with the logistics battalion.

I finished eating the horse in three or two mouthfuls and drank some water before I felt better. It was not because I was doing something special, but because I was afraid that the blood food would be low and I would fall off the horse. If there was no food in my stomach, my head would not be clear, so I slowed down a little at this time.

, may be doomed, the road ahead is long, and there are still many hurdles to overcome.

From the quarry to the exit, the road is very wide and the speed is naturally much faster. Strictly speaking, it cannot be called the exit. But when you get here, the mountain sinks and the loess is exposed. Five miles ahead is Dongguan Town.

There was no sign of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and the intelligence from the cavalry showed that they had never been here. Luo Yu was wondering, did he lead his troops back to hear the news? It was unlikely, unless he really had orders from Dou Jiande to annihilate the army led by Qin Qiong.

Only with 5,000 troops and horses dared to return to Wenxi, he replenished his supplies and then went north to Linfen to deliver orders.

The most likely possibility is that Qin Qiong led the remaining soldiers to Yuanxian County, and Zhu Yuanzhang also pursued in the direction of Yuanxian County. Under the darkness last night, our army found no trace.

It had always been Luo Yu's idea for Zhu Yuanzhang to go north, because this was the fastest way to reach Changzhi. But if Zhu Yuanzhang's destination was not Changzhi, but Jincheng, the whole reasoning was wrong, and it was really a mistake of a thousand miles.

Jincheng originally had 30,000 troops, but Zhao Kuangyin surrounded and fought for half a month. There must have been casualties, and 20,000 troops were transferred to Ding Yanping. At this time, the troops were insufficient. It is entirely possible that Zhu Yuanzhang chose Jincheng to attack instead of Changzhi in the middle.

Alas, I once again acted smart and was fooled by the ancients. I really don’t know how Li Shimin defeated so many powerful enemies in later generations. This battle is really not something ordinary people can fight. No wonder Li Shimin is called the God of Military in later generations.

Regardless of Zhu Yuanzhang, the situation now has become much more complicated. There is no pioneer in front, so he can only rush forward on his own. It is impossible to retreat. He just hopes that Li Yuan can receive a letter from Li Xiuning asking for help and send troops south to contain Dou Jiande.

, or come to assist and allow the Youwu Army to move north smoothly.

Suddenly the sound of marching drums came from the front. Li Xiuning hurriedly put down the steamed buns in his hand, looked at Luo Yu, and said excitedly: "This is the marching rhythm of our Sui army. Could it be that my father has heard the news and sent troops to meet me?"
