Dominate Marvel

Ying Yi sat cross-legged quietly, with the long knife across his knees. Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun were already equipped with military equipment and were sitting next to him with serious expressions.

More than three thousand soldiers and horses were silent, and the atmosphere in the valley was tense.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, he said, "Report, my lord, I have found traces of the two traitors Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin!"

Ying Yi perked up: "Where?!"

"Hao Yaoqi's troops are on the left, and Liu Zongmin's troops are on the right. They are both hidden in the woods more than ten miles away!"

Ying Yi put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's explore again!"

Then he turned to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun and said, "The only thing I'm worried about is that the outside thieves will not come. It seems that I still have a high regard for the outside thieves."

Then he added: "But after thinking about it, it makes sense. Hao Yaoqi lost his army and generals for these two million taels of silver. How could he be willing to accept it if there was no gain? Liu Zongmin also came to seize the silver on the order of the intruder. Now that he has the silver, There is no way they can just watch."

"Let the soldiers eat and drink well and prepare for the battle."

Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun immediately did not dare to neglect, and ordered more than 3,000 soldiers to eat dry food on the spot.

The situation on the ground in Nanyang is not complicated. Apart from Ying Yi's hidden troops, there were only Huguang soldiers, Hao Yaoqi, and Liu Zongmin's traitors. But it is precisely because of this that Ying Yi can easily catch chestnuts from the fire.

Zuo Liangyu already knew that Zheng Yunzhi was "five thousand" young and strong. But Zuo Liangyu's inherent thinking never put these "five thousand young men" on the hostile side. He never thought that Ying Yi would play with him like this. I thought that at this time Zheng Yunzhi had brought these five thousand young men to fight fiercely with Li Guo from Kaifeng.

As for Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, they have no idea at all.

Each one of them stared at the 'silver'.

The soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and they were rewarded for not harvesting food at night.

"There is a group of officers and soldiers from the direction of Yuzhou heading towards the Baihe River Valley. They are already ten miles away."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yi asked, "How many people are there? Who is leading the troops?"

Ye Bushou said: "About fifteen thousand, with the word 'Left' written on the big flag."

Ying Yi waved his hand while thinking: "Let's explore again and continue to pay attention to the direction of Yuzhou."

"Here!"

After Ye Buqiu left, Ying Yi said to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun: "Zuo Liangyu is an old soldier. He will definitely not ignore Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin. Oh, there are three troops and horses in three directions within ten miles. Interesting." "

Zhou Li pondered: "What do you mean, sir, is there a group of soldiers behind Zuo Liangyu?"

Zhu Bingkun laughed: "They are all veterans. Zuo Liangyu sent 15,000 people, he had 40,000 people, and another 25,000 people. Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, one on the left and one on the right, both had more than 10,000 people. People are like each other’s horns.”

Ying Yi laughed: "I heard that Zuo Liangyu has a son named Zuo Mengeng. These fifteen thousand people must be headed by Zuo Mengeng. Zuo Liangyu is still hiding behind. At the end of the day, it's Zuo Menggen. Which one is better, Liang Yu, or Hao Yaoqi or Liu Zongmin?"

Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Li both laughed: "It should be the master's better move."

"Shili, it's almost here." Ying Yi stood up and said, "Give me the order and make preparations. There's still half an hour at most. At that time, the sky is going to be dark, the moon is dark and the night is murderous, and the wind is high and the sky is blazing."

...

Although soldiers are expensive and fast, the march of the army is still bloated after all. Ying Yi waited and waited for half an hour, but he didn't come. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, during which he kept returning several times, the left-shaped flag appeared outside the Bai River Valley.

"I didn't expect the two thieves, Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, to be quite clever."

Ying Yi muttered: "Unexpectedly, he stood still."

Fifteen thousand officers and soldiers have arrived outside the Baihe River Valley, but for more than half an hour, the two bandit soldiers hiding ten miles away on the left and right sides have not moved.

As expected, those who can get ahead, even thieves, are capable.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Zhou Li asked with a frown.

Ying Yi smiled and said, "Everything is on my plate, can you still escape? Follow my orders and don't be in a hurry."

"Coming in."

Outside the valley, the officers and soldiers packed up their gear and formed a group of people to sneak in.

"Fight or not?" Zhou Li was a little impatient.

Ying Yi smiled and said: "If they advance, we can retreat. But before we retreat, we still have to fight."

He waved his hand, and there was an orderly soldier waving the order flag next to him. Most of the more than 3,000 soldiers hiding in the valley began to withdraw up the mountain ridge, and the remaining small number were hidden in the forest. As the order flag was waved, there were three long goose calls. The trumpet sounded, and with the boom boom boom sound, hundreds of feather arrows flew out, followed by several screams.

A group of officers and soldiers who entered the valley were pinned in place by sparse arrows. After a few people died, they began to retreat.

As if it was a signal, these screams rang out, and most of the officers and soldiers from outside the valley began to enter the valley. Seven or eight cannons were deployed in a row, aiming at the valley. At the same time, about a thousand people separated from the large army and quickly rushed into the valley.

In the darkness, the bow strings made a clanging sound, and then there was the crackling of firecrackers. Occasionally, the light of fire flickered, and the screams became denser.

Ying Yi was condescending, his face extremely cold.

One thousand people, then one thousand more, a total of 3,000 people entered the valley. The hundred archers Ying Yi placed in the valley were forced to retreat one after another, and there were also casualties.

The officers and soldiers were very cautious and did not advance rashly. They compressed the space in the valley step by step. Upon seeing this, Ying Yi knew that it was almost done and nodded to the messenger next to him. A moment later, three more short goose horns sounded, and the archers in the valley suddenly relaxed. He took a breath and hurriedly looked at the beams on both sides to move away.

At this time, I heard the officers and soldiers in the valley shouting: "The thieves are on the beam!"

Not long after, seven or eight cannons from Taniguchi were aimed at the ridges on both sides of the Bai River Valley.

Ying Yi saw clearly that he did not want to take advantage of the officers and soldiers' cannons, so he led his men back into the dense forest and disappeared. The officers and soldiers fired several rows of cannons, but when there was no response, they sent a thousand people each to check the beams on both sides, but found only traces but no people.

Zuo Mengeng was very happy and asked people to explore the valley. Sure enough, there was money, so he was overjoyed.

"Hao Yaoqi must have few people in the valley to protect his privacy. No wonder he was forced to leave easily." Zuo Menggeng thought in his mind. He was very excited and shouted: "Give me the order. Don't touch the wooden boxes without permission. Move them all quickly." Come out, let’s go back to Yuzhou!”

In the dark night, Zuo Mengeng quickly transported dozens of heavy boxes out of the White River Valley and loaded them into the carriage one by one. He waved his troops away without even having time to examine them carefully.

Although Zuo Mengeng is young, he is also a veteran. What's more, Zuo Liangyu gave instructions when he arrived, saying that the thief was nearby, so he might not be watching, so he had to do it as soon as possible.

He kept this in mind and was anxious 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 cannons and couldn't help but sneer: "What a flag-waving barbarian, he really has the intention to betray King Chuang."

People around him were confused: "Why did the master say this?"

Liu Zongmin spat and said: "Everyone knows that the old man took the silver on the order of King Chuang, but Hao Yaoqi said it was not in his hands. He got the news about this stupid thing early, but concealed it and said it was not in his hands. In his hands, he deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors. What if he didn't have a treason? He had obviously obtained the money and hid it in the mountains, waiting for the opportunity to pull the pole and build the mountain."
