Chapter 360 Chapter 371: Xue Rengui's Prestige

When Li Hao and Xue Rengui arrived at Fenghua Valley with two thousand fine riders, Li Hao found that Wuyanggang, which was still a little bustling, had no idlers at the moment, only a few guards guarding them. Seeing them coming, a The guard ran away, apparently to report the news.

Li Hao knew that they were Hou Junji's guard posts here, but he had no choice. If he wanted the fastest rescue, he had to go through Fenghua Valley, otherwise he would have to detour for more than 70 miles.

Li Hao and the others came to Wuyanggang and stopped before rejecting the spurs. After rejecting the spurs, there were only eight guards, and there was obvious fear in their eyes. Li Hao stepped forward and asked coldly, "Whose subordinates are you?"

A guard in armor stammered: "I...we are the Jinwu Guard, the emperor is here to hunt, and we are ordered to seal the mountain, you... who are you! Leave quickly!"

"Are you the Jinwu Guard?" Li Hao grinned coldly, "If you were the Jinwu Guard, wouldn't you know me?"

The guard felt even more guilty when he heard the words, and said, "You... who are you!"

Li Hao gave Xue Rengui a look: "Brother Xue! Tell him who I am!"

Xue Rengui held Fang Tian's painted halberd, pointed at the guard, and said loudly: "Put up your dog ears and listen carefully. The person in front of you is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Captain Feng Xiao, Marquis of Lantian County Li Hao Li Shi Kuang!"

The eight guards were all shocked when they heard the words. They were all soldiers, so they had heard of Li Hao's name. Li Hao's name may not be very famous in the court, but in the army, he is like a god of war. , Because Li Hao has created too many miracles in battle, and he has never been defeated in any battle, and he has never lost a single battle. In normal times, they would definitely be excited to see Li Hao, but they are Hou Junji's subordinates. Just in the middle of a major event of rebellion, how can we not be frightened when we suddenly see Li Hao leading his troops.

Li Hao glanced at the eight of them coldly, and suddenly raised his hand and said, "Come here, take these eight people down!"

Immediately, more than a dozen Xuanjia troops stepped forward and surrounded the eight people, ready to attack, the eight guards confronted each other with guns, and the guard in armor panicked and shouted: "Li Hao, do you want to plot rebellion?"

"You guys are the ones who rebelled." Li Hao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Can you pretend to be the Jinwu Guard? Do you think Benhou is blind? Benhou often goes in and out of Taiji Palace. Jinwu Guard has seen a lot, Jinwu General Wei Li Yuanzhong and Benhou also have a good friendship, Benhou has never seen a Jinwu Guard dressed as poorly as you!"

The four of them looked at the equipment on their bodies one after another. It was indeed a bit shabby. Only the person who spoke was wearing armor, and it was a dull old armor. Although the rest of them were wearing military uniforms, they were all old and washed well. It changed color.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the bushes beside him: "Poetry! Save me! Go save me!" While speaking, a figure covered in blood crawled out of the bushes.

Li Hao's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and help that person come here!"

A Xuanjia soldier hurried over to help the bloody man over. Li Hao and Xue Rengui had dismounted to meet him. When they got closer, Li Hao and Xue Rengui exclaimed at the same time: "Li Yuanzhong!"

That's right, the person in front of him is Li Yuanzhong, General of the Jinwu Guard. Li Yuanzhong fought hard to break through last night, but Hou Junji had expected it a long time ago and sent troops to intercept him. Li Yuanzhong was outnumbered and a dozen of Jinwu Guard's masters were all killed in battle. However, the dozen or so Jinwu guards held back hundreds of rebels and covered Li Yuanzhong's escape down the mountain. The rebels couldn't catch up, so they could only shoot arrows. Li Yuanzhong was hit by three arrows, but fortunately none of them hit the vital point. When we arrived at Wuyanggang, we found that there were rebels guarding us, so we couldn't cross the post, so we could only hide in the bushes. Due to the blood loss after the injury, Li Yuanzhong was very weak and fell asleep. He was awakened by Li Hao's voice just now. Only then did he climb out of the grass excitedly.

"It's me! Poetry madness, it's me!" Li Yuanzhong burst into tears with excitement, and shouted, "Go and save the emperor, the emperor is besieged by them on the top of the mountain. Poison Arrow..."

"What!" Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words, and lost his voice, "Your Majesty was poisoned by an arrow? What's the situation?"

Li Yuanzhong was extremely weak and said: "The imperial doctor said that His Majesty is not in danger of life for the time being, but he won't be able to wake up for a while, but the Jinwu Guard and the Habayashi Guard can't last long, Hou Junji has too many people..."

Li Hao hurriedly asked: "How many people do they have?"

Li Yuanzhong said: "They still have more than 1 people, and now there are less than [-] of them!"

Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and asked again: "Do you know where their camp is located?"

Li Yuanzhong pointed at Shaohua Mountain from a distance, and said, "It's on Baizhangping on the mountainside over there."

"Okay, I see." Li Hao turned his head and said, "Military doctor, come and treat General Li quickly, and leave twenty people here to guard and wait for King Jin's troops."

Then he turned his head and asked Xue Rengui: "Rengui, how do you think we should save him?"

Xue Rengui pondered for a while, then said: "Master Hou, the rebel forces are far superior to ours, and they are condescending, so it is not suitable to attack hard. We should deal with them, disperse their forces, and hold them back first to ensure the safety of the emperor. Come, attack again in one fell swoop, there is a chance of winning."

"En." Li Hao nodded upon hearing the words, "That's right, it should be so, how should it be deployed?"

Xue Rengui said: "Divide the troops to attack and harass, and leave as soon as they stick together. Don't love to fight. If Hou Junji doesn't intend to pay attention to it and is ready to attack the top of the mountain with all his heart, then we will make a false statement and attack his camp, encircle Wei and save Zhao. If possible, we will I would like to lead a thousand soldiers to attack from the rear of the enemy by taking a small path, to catch the enemy by surprise, and to strengthen the prestige first. Lord Hou traveled to the mountainside through Fenghua Valley, and attracted his troops from the front, but Lord Hou must be careful. Junji may lay an ambush along the way."

Li Hao looked at Xue Rengui in surprise, and asked, "Is there a path here?"

"Yes." Xue Rengui said, "I brought the special forces to Shaohua Mountain for jungle field training, so I know the terrain very well. From Wuyanggang to the north, there will be a swamp called Ziyuan Swamp. Pass this swamp and you will see the path leading to the mountainside."

Li Hao frowned and asked, "Then how do you get through the swamp?"

Xue Rengui said: "I have my own way of thinking about this. Time is running out now, so I ask Lord Hou to make up his mind quickly."

Li Hao nodded and said: "Okay, you lead a thousand soldiers, cross the swamp and take a small path to the enemy's rear, I will harass you from the front, and you will attack from behind!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui accepted the order excitedly. After waiting for so many years, he can finally go to the battlefield. Although it is not as enjoyable as killing foreigners, defending the emperor is also very exciting.

Li Hao and Xue Rengui split up, Xue Rengui headed north towards Ziyuan Ze, while Li Hao continued to march northwest along the official road.

In the afternoon, Li Hao had already started to lead his troops up the mountain, and he was very careful along the way to prevent an ambush. Sure enough, within 10 minutes of climbing the mountain, a dense rain of arrows flew from the woods in front of him. Fortunately, Li Hao found it early and shouted: "There is an ambush!"

All the Xuanjia troops hurried forward, erected tall iron shields, and built a shield wall in front to block the first wave of arrow rain. Li Hao took a look at the terrain. They were on the rugged mountain road. In the dense forest, they could not fight back, so he ordered the Xuanjia army to advance quickly, rush into the forest and kill the enemy's ambush troops.

The Xuanjia army rushed up with shields and braved the arrow rain, and then there was an endless stream of screams in the forest, and the arrow rain stopped.

"Quick! Go for reinforcements!" Li Hao yelled, and a thousand elite soldiers rushed up to reinforce them. There were about a thousand rebels in the forest, but they had already been killed by the Xuanjia Army and fled in all directions. They were no match for the Xuanjia Army at all. After chasing and killing for seven or eight miles, leaving behind corpses all over the place, only about a hundred people escaped in the end.

Li Hao immediately gave the order to rush up the mountain before the fleeing rebels had time to report back, so they walked up the rugged mountain road, and soon reached the mountainside, where there was a large space, quite open, with a The mountain road leads to a huge flat land with a radius of hundreds of feet. That flat land is a shortcut to the mountain. No wonder Hou Jun will set up the tooth tent there.

Looking at Hou Junji's camp from a distance, Li Hao blew the iron whistle, and the sound of the whistle echoed in the valley and spread far away. Not long after, a flag emerged from the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, shaking it. After a few clicks, Li Hao knew that Xue Rengui had arrived.

Just as Li Hao was about to send troops to attack Hou Junji's camp, he saw three thousand rebels rushing out of the camp and charging towards them.

Li Hao took a quick look at the surrounding terrain. The mountain pass was only more than one foot wide.

The group of rebels only rushed halfway, and stopped on the mountain road. Sure enough, Hou Junji was not a reckless man, so he didn't dare to let them rush over.

The two sides just confronted each other like this, and neither of them moved forward. Li Hao squinted his eyes and muttered to himself: "It seems that Hou Junji is planning to use this group of people to block me. It's okay, they have a limited number of people, 3000 less. People, let's see how he still attacks the mountain."

Li Hao just spent time with the rebels. As long as they don't attack the mountain, Li Shimin will be safe. When Li Zhi brings another two thousand elites, his chances of winning will be even greater. Quick battle, the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be for him, so Li Hao is not in a hurry, because he knows that Li Chengqian and Hou Junji are more anxious than him.

Hou Junji was indeed in a hurry. He was almost impatient at the moment. When he heard that Li Hao had led his troops to King Qin, he knew that his plan of conspiracy this time had no chance of winning. He had to take down the mountain as soon as possible and kill Li Shimin.

So Hou Junji quickly issued an order, and the nine thousand army divided into three groups to attack the mountain. Hou Junji came to the front of the battle to command, and he must rush up the mountain. Then, there were shouts of killing on the mountain, and the rebels attacked the mountain again.

Just when the rebel army was about to attack the mountain after a series of victories, suddenly a messenger came to report that the Yazhang was attacked in the rear, and the prince was dying.

Hou Junji was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops, and went back to the camp to save the prince. He thought it was Li Hao who had come to attack him, but when he arrived at the camp, he found that a young general with a Fang Tian painted halberd was leading the army to the camp, and he was still running around. After setting fire to the camp, more than half of the [-] defenders in the camp were killed. Li Chengqian fled in a panic under the protection of the remnants.

When the general who made Fang Tian draw the halberd saw Hou Junji coming back, he immediately ordered to withdraw his troops and went into the forest. Hou Junji was so angry that he yelled at the forest: "Where are you bastards, someone will report his name!"

"I am Xue Rengui from the Dragon Gate!" The loud voice came from afar, resounding through the mountains and forests.
