The enemy became angry and changed their tactics.
Zhang Yu is also a refugee commander who came out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and has rich experience.
This time, kerosene and rockets were thrown. There were many dead trees and weeds on the mountain. They caught fire at once and the flames rose.
Xuanyuan Mountain has lush vegetation and the threat of fire is great.
The heat wave was rolling around, and it soon became impossible to stand anyone in the pass.
"We are here, general. Please leave first. We will not retreat until we die." Xu Cheng held the knife with an evil look on his face, but his forehead was covered with sweat.
The people in the death camp raised their heads one after another, with the familiar determination in their eyes.
"It's nonsense. It's just a small pass. How can it be worthy of the life of this general? If they want it, give it to them. We will take it back when the time comes. Is it possible that this fire can burn forever?" Li Yue said in a relaxed tone. , dispelling the death energy on the soldiers of the death camp.
Things are far from that.
There are still six passes behind, and it is impossible for the opponent's trebuchet to move up the mountain.
"Haha, it's worth it to follow the general in this life!" Everyone laughed.
In Li Yue's view, these talents are his real assets.
It is not easy to cultivate a veteran soldier who is not afraid of death.
The enemy's kerosene and rockets expanded their coverage and set fire to the mountains everywhere. It seemed that they were here to kill them all.
Black clouds were billowing, and many ancient trees were crackling and burning in the fire, as if they were moaning feebly. A group of jackdaws croaked and scurried into the sky, and the wild beasts in the forest fled one after another and kept wailing.
Li Yue stood on the stone wall and suddenly saw a fierce tiger leaping out of the dense forest. However, it did not harm the wild deer around him. Instead, it fled into the mountains with them...
War has caused great damage to the natural environment.
"Abandon the first four passes and set up a fire zone in front of the fifth pass." Li Yue said calmly.
Although the fire was fierce, it did not cause any substantial damage. Xuanyuan Mountain is so big that it is impossible to burn it all with just one fire.
"General, what is a fire separation zone?" Xu Cheng was confused.
"Clear the dead trees and grass in front of the pass first. The fire will naturally go out if there is nothing to burn." Looking at the fire on the mountain, Li Yue's heart moved. "Throw some corpses into the fire to create the illusion that we have suffered heavy casualties."
There are many corpses on the mountain. Many people died during the attack on the mountain a few days ago. They were all buried in one place. They are being taken out now.
Xu Cheng's eyes lit up, "My subordinate understands."
At this time, the scout suddenly ran down from the mountain and said, "General, there is a rebellion in the village. Cui Sima and General Wei are suppressing it!"
"What a courageous dog!" Xu Cheng cursed.
Li Yue waved his hand, "No need to make a fuss, this is a good thing."
It was too easy to attack Xuanyuan Mountain. Except for Gou Zhan's stubborn resistance in the first battle, the rest of the battle was basically bloodless.
Things that are too easy often have many pitfalls.
This group of people can surrender to themselves, why can't they surrender to the powerful Zhang Yu?
In addition, Xuanyuan Mountain was nominally captured, but the big and small leaders surrendered in time, holding their respective tribes in their hands, so now is an opportunity to completely digest Xuanyuan Mountain.
"I'll leave the defense of the mountain to you. I'll go to the mountain to quell this matter."
"General, don't worry!"
Li Yue led his guards back to the mountain. As he walked, he asked the scouts, "Who betrayed you? Is it Liang Xiao?"
An army of thousands is easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. Especially for a bandit leader, talent is too important.
The scout replied: "Yu Mo Dao, Yan Song, Zhao Bang and Liang leader restrained the troops and did not participate."
Li Yue stopped and looked at the billowing black smoke spreading into the sky.
To restrain the troops, in other words, to hold the troops still, Wei Shan and Cui Jin combined had more than 1,300 people in their hands.
Wei Shan is brave and Cui Jin is calm and cautious. It should not be difficult to suppress the rebellion on the mountain.
"Everyone rests on the spot, and the scouts will report on the situation on the mountain every half an hour!"
"Follow the order!"
This time is a test, a test for Xuanyuan Mountain.
Everyone has their own level to pass, and now it’s Liang Xiao’s turn.
Li Yue did not forget the scene when Liang Xiao made a sideways plea for Zheng Sheng.
In troubled times, we don’t have much time to influence others with our heart, so we can only cut through the mess quickly.
Human nature is dark, and those who want to betray cannot be influenced at all, and they will betray sooner or later!
Not everyone is on the same journey. What Li Yue has to do is to select and eliminate...
Inside the main village on the mountain.
Liang Xiao was also looking at the fire at the foot of the mountain, and in his hand was a secret letter written on Zuo Bo paper.
This kind of paper is uniform in thickness, fine in texture, bright in color, and very easy to write on. It is highly sought after by nobles and officials, so many great calligraphers emerged during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Within a hundred miles, the only people who could use this kind of paper were the Zheng family.
Moreover, it was written by Zheng Du, the governor of Xingyang.
As long as he takes action, the magistrate of Mi County will be his from now on.
Normally, Liang Xiao wouldn't have to think about it at all. He and Gou Zhan were the main targets of the Zheng family. The Zheng family had always treated them well. Without them, how could Guo Ning, a big-hearted and brainless man, have succeeded so easily?
However, after coming into contact with Li Yue himself, he was a little shaken.
All wild wolves in the wilderness will take the initiative to surrender to the most powerful one.
Liang Xiao undoubtedly had his own ambitions, but he smelled danger from Li Yue and felt an instinctive fear.
In the past six months, I first killed Zhao Guang, then defeated the Gaoli Imperial Guards, integrated Black Cloud Mountain, annexed Jijia Fort, and then captured Xuanyuan Mountain...
The timing of the capture of Xuanyuan Mountain was so good and so decisive that the mountain had no time to react.
What's even more frightening is that he is not very old, around 20 years old, and he has excellent medical skills...
The potential of this kind of person is unlimited, and it is foolish to be an enemy of him.
"Brother, Yu Mo Dao, Yan Song and the others can't stand it anymore." His younger brother Liang Du came to report, but he saw cold sweat on Liang Xiao's forehead.
"Do you think we should take action?" Liang Xiao felt like there was a sharp blade hanging above his head.
"When we betrayed the old village leader, we were disloyal and unjust, then we betrayed Guo Ning, and now we betray the village leader Li. What do the heroes of the Central Plains think of us? Li Yue is a tiger and wolf. He rebelled on the mountain and my brother stood still. What do you want? "
Liang Xiao was shocked by every word. After betraying him so many times, who would dare to use him in the future? Liang Xiao knew very well what kind of virtue the Zheng family had. These days there are evil wolves everywhere that eat people without spitting out their bones.
"People like Yu Mo Dao, Yan Song, and Zhao Bang are definitely no match for Black Cloud Mountain, and no, neither is the Zheng family!" Liang Xiao came to his senses.
Zheng Sheng's behavior on the mountain has long fallen into everyone's eyes.
If all the children of the Zheng family are like this, they will probably be eaten by Heiyun Mountain in the future.
"Quickly gather the troops and follow me to suppress the rebellion." The secret message in his hand was torn into pieces.
So far, Li Yue, whom Liang Xiao is most afraid of, has not shown up yet, which makes him feel like a light is hanging on his back.
The beasts in the jungle have disappeared. They are definitely not escaping, but are dormant, preparing for a fatal blow!
