The army led by Xu Gaoyang was originally stationed on the border of Xia Kingdom. However, after a battle with Wang Lie, Xu Gaoyang was defeated and could no longer gain a foothold on the border, so he had to retreat to Jinshan City.
During this period, Xu Gaoyang has been strengthening his defense.
Jinshan City is an important town, and there are sufficient food and weapons in the city. In particular, Jinshan City has a special geographical location and has the conditions for defense. In addition, Xu Gaoyang now has more than 60,000 troops in his hands. With this large army, the defensive equipment in the city, and the strength of Jinshan City, Xu Gaoyang was absolutely sure to hold on.
This is Xu Gaoyang's confidence.
In the past, Xu Gaoyang had little influence in the army and did not make many outstanding achievements.
The reason why he was able to get up was because of Yan Wuji.
Unfortunately, Yan Wuji died.
When he was in the court, he lost his support.
Military camp, inside the Chinese army tent.
Xu Gaoyang was wearing armor and sitting cross-legged, thinking about the consequences of Yan Wuji's death. Things had happened, and he couldn't change anything. So at the moment, Xu Gaoyang must think clearly about his options.
Only in this way can we stand firm in the future.
In fact, if Yan Wuji is here, even if Xu Gaoyang is defeated, Yan Wuji can explain it clearly and he can easily deal with it. Without Yan Wuji, if the army was defeated, Xu Gaoyang would be easily accused and would not be sure to escape.
"We have to find a new backer."
“Only when you have a backer can you stand firm.”
In Xu Gaoyang's heart, after much thought, he came up with such a plan.
"Report!"
At this moment, soldiers entered.
The soldier clasped his fists in salute and reported: "General, Your Majesty has sent a chamberlain to deliver orders to the army."
"Please."
Xu Gaoyang quickly ordered.
The soldiers turned around and retreated. After a while, the chamberlain who delivered the order came in, bowed and said, "General Xu."
Xu Gaoyang didn't dare to put on airs and said with a smile: "Your Majesty sent your father-in-law here, but what's the matter?"
The servant reported: "General Xu, Lin Feng has left Anyi and is on his way to Jinshan City. His Majesty sent an order for you to detach another force while guarding Jinshan City to stop Lin Feng halfway."
"The general will obey the order."
Xu Gaoyang answered directly and said: "Please tell your majesty, father-in-law, that I will definitely complete the task and kill Lin Feng."
The chamberlain said: "I hope General Xu will complete his mission as soon as possible. I have to return to Anyi to resume my duties. I'll take my leave."
When Xu Gaoyang heard this, he asked the chamberlain to wait, and asked someone to bring a bag of silver. He handed it to the chamberlain and said with a smile, "My father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way. It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful."
The chamberlain accepted it with a smile, his face even brighter, and said, "People say that General Xu is benevolent and righteous, and it is true."
Xu Gaoyang said: "My father-in-law praised Miao."
The chamberlain changed the subject and began to explain how Li Chongfu arranged for Gong Lang to attack the Xishan Iron Mine, but was killed by Lin Feng. He elaborated on the details and finally said: "General Xu, Lin Feng left with the army. No. Easy to deal with, just be careful.”
"Besides, Your Majesty here is eager to kill Lin Feng and then quickly. As long as General Xu completes his mission, he will definitely be favored by His Majesty."
“Seize the opportunity and don’t miss it.”
"Okay, time is urgent, take your leave."
He turned and left.
Xu Gaoyang's brows rose, a little surprised. He didn't expect Gong Lang to lose.
This thing is really unexpected.
You must know that Gong Lang always acts cautiously. Even Gong Lang was defeated. Lin Feng was indeed difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Xu Gaoyang secretly rejoiced that thanks to his cleverness, he did not neglect the eunuch who was delivering the order. If he doesn't give money and the other party doesn't tell him, he won't know the news for the time being, and he won't be able to judge Lin Feng's situation.
After Xu Gaoyang thought about it, he sighed again.
Putting it aside in his past, if Yan Wuji was here and he had people who supported him in the court, he would not need to consider the thoughts of a chamberlain at all. The problem is that now, he has no one to support him, so he can only keep a low profile and cannot continue to be high-profile.
Xu Gaoyang quickly reorganized his mind and thought about how to stop it?
Lin Feng must be stopped here.
Whether it was Yan Wuji's hatred, the emperor's arrangement, or even for himself, Xu Gaoyang had to take action.
After Xu Gaoyang thought for a while, he made a plan and ordered: "Come here."
A soldier entered immediately.
Xu Gaoyang said: "Go and notify Yang Jian to discuss the matter."
"Here!"
The soldier responded and turned to inform.
Yang Jian is a direct confidant under his command and a brave general in the army. He has always been known for his bravery. In addition, there is another key point. Yang Jian is also Xu Gaoyang's disciple.
Therefore, Yang Jian won the respect of Xu Gaoyang.
Yang Jian was thirty years old, quite strong, and wearing armor. He entered the camp, cupped his fists and said, "Teacher."
Xu Gaoyang nodded and said: "The reason why I called you here is because His Majesty's order just came, saying that Lin Feng left Anyi and came to the direction of Jinshan City. In addition, there were about seven or eight hundred people around Lin Feng. The exact number of people cannot be determined, but it must be hundreds."
"Your Majesty has issued a decree, asking this general to dispatch soldiers to kill Lin Feng within Jinshan City. Lin Feng must not be allowed to escape."
"I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses. You lead the troops to encircle and suppress Lin Feng. Are you sure you can complete the mission?"
Xu Gaoyang said: "This battle is only about victory and not defeat. If you are unable to complete the task, I will arrange for the rest of the people to go."
"Make sure to complete the mission."
Yang Jian was very confident and said: "Coming from Anyi to Jinshan City, the official road close to Jinshan City must pass through Wawu Mountain. No matter whether Lin Feng takes a small road or travels day and night, he must pass through here. The humble plan, We will lay an ambush at Wawu Mountain, and once Lin Feng's men arrive, we will kill Lin Feng."
Xu Gaoyang said: "I don't ask about the process, only the results. As long as you can succeed, I will personally ask for credit for you."
"Thank you General!"
Yang Jian answered with clasped fists.
His face was full of expectation and his eyes were even more ambitious.
Yang Jian knew the news about Lin Feng.
Lin Feng is very powerful. The problem is that no matter how powerful Lin Feng is, he cannot be an opponent of the three thousand elite infantrymen. The soldiers under his command are all wearing armor and are capable veterans. As long as the army encounters Lin Feng's strength, it can win in a single battle.
Lin Feng can't escape.
In particular, the emperor wanted to kill Lin Feng. This was the opportunity. By killing Lin Feng, he could stand out.
Yang Jian quickly mobilized 3,000 infantry, quietly left Jinshan City, and headed straight for Wawu Mountain.
Wawu Mountain is a mountain forest twelve miles east of Jinshan City.
The mountain is not high, but it stretches for several miles. The three thousand soldiers led by Yang Jian can easily hide in Wawu Mountain.
After Yang Jian's people hid, he arranged for sentries to keep an eye on them and waited in the mountains. Now that it's almost March, the weather is getting warmer and it's not difficult to stay in the mountains.
Yang Jian waited for a day. Near noon, when he and his soldiers were eating dry food, suddenly, a soldier came running over with an anxious look and reported: "General, here we are, where is Lin Feng?" The team is here."
Yang Jian asked: "How many people are there on the other side?"
The soldier said: "The people under Lin Feng's command all wore ordinary clothes and pretended to be ordinary people. Their number was about three hundred. Our estimate is that Lin Feng chose to divide his troops, reducing the team to zero. They formed several teams and went their separate ways. In addition, the person leading the way at the front of the army is a young man of about twenty years old, and he must be Lin Feng."
After Yang Jian heard this, his eyes lit up. With more than 300 people, this could be easily solved.
Especially Lin Feng is still here.
It's even more of a good opportunity.
In Yang Jian's case, there is no use breaking it into parts. No matter what, you have to go here to pass.
Breaking them into parts will help him encircle and suppress them.
Yang Jian thought for a while and said again: "Are you sure you are really Lin Feng's person?"
The soldier replied: "These people seem to be wearing ordinary clothes, like people migrating. The problem is, their appearance and temperament are completely different, and they are from the army. Even these people are accompanied by carriages, which seem to be escorting goods, but they are not It was covered with straw, and it looked like a hidden weapon. If this is not Lin Feng's person, then who is it? They did this to cover up, but instead they exposed it."
When Yang Jian heard it, he was immediately convinced.
It must be Lin Feng.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Lin Feng is really smart. I thought he would not be easy to deal with, but now it seems that is the case."
He looked at the soldiers, waved his hand and told them to explore again, and then Yang Jian turned to order: "Everyone, be ready. Once Lin Feng's team arrives, follow my orders to attack. This time, we surrounded Lin Feng's more than 300 people in one go. No one of them can escape, they must all be captured.”
The generals under his command nodded in response.
These people appear relaxed.
There are more than three thousand of them.
Lin Feng's men only had more than 300 people because of the division of troops. This was a huge disparity in strength.
There is no suspense in such a battle.
Time passed, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, Yang Jian received another report from the soldiers and learned that Lin Feng's troops were coming. He and his men waited quietly on the roadside. When he saw the team led by Lin Feng appeared, Yang Jian no longer hesitated and ordered: "Attack!"
"Woo! Woo!"
The horn sounded loudly.
On both sides of the official road, soldiers in the mountains and forests rushed out quickly. After these people came out, they surrounded Lin Feng and the others, and immediately drew their swords and charged forward.
Lin Feng stood up on his horse and did not hide. He deliberately came out to lure the enemy. When he saw the people who were coming to kill him, his eyes flashed with joy, but he shouted: "We are surrounded, retreat and fight out immediately."
He took his men and immediately retreated to break through.
Even though there were Xu Gaoyang's soldiers encircling and blocking the rear, Lin Feng, as a master master, led his troops to break through the encirclement in the blink of an eye, breaking through the defense line of the rear officers and soldiers, and Lin Feng led his men to kill them.
This scene fell in Yang Jian's eyes.
How could Yang Jian let Lin Feng escape? Lin Feng was his opportunity for promotion. Yang Jian looked anxious and shouted: "Chase, pursue with all your strength, we must not let Lin Feng escape."
After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly pursued him along the official road at the foot of Wawu Mountain.
The army followed in pursuit.
