Chapter 824: Pear Valley
Huang Zhigui led dozens of ships to break through the waves and headed east. When he arrived at the east coast, all the officers and soldiers on the east coast had already fled, and most of the soldiers in the ghost square followed him and chased him.
The Huang brothers reached an agreement with the Guifangren. One person had ten taels of silver. For the Guifangren, the heads of officers and soldiers were equivalent to silver, so naturally they would not watch the defeated officers and soldiers escape.
The east bank was in a mess, and some Guifang soldiers were still checking the tents on the shore, hoping to find some valuable things from them. The food and grass piled up on the east bank and the horses that were too late to take away had all fallen into the hands of Guifang people.
Before Huang Zhigui landed, he saw many corpses lying on the ground, all over the shore, with blood stains on the ground. The battle just now seemed to be quite tragic.
On the shore, the tall and large Ghost Square Cave Master Yi Gusi was waiting. He was following several Ghost Square people in strange costumes. Huang Zhigui led dozens of small and large ships to the shore. The boat Huang Zhigui was still a short distance from the shore. He stood at the bow of the boat and waved to Yi Gusi from afar and smiled: "Master Yi Dong, I really believe in people!"
Yi Gusi put away his knife, folded his hands together, and laughed: "Master Qi, these officers and soldiers are really vulnerable and easier to deal with than I imagined."
When the ship was docked, Huang Zhigui got off the ship and saw that there were still hundreds of Guifang people left here, most of whom had already pursued the officers and soldiers. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Guifang people had already used materials on the spot and lit torches. These Guifang people were brave in fighting and had a bad temper. Obviously, they did not find much valuable things in the tent, so many people were furious and burned the officers and soldiers' tents.
"Master Qi, look at what are the methods of our ghost warriors?" Yi Gusi introduced several cave masters around Huang Zhigui, then pointed to the burning tent over there, and said with a proud smile: "The Great Qin warriors who were dominating the world back then were really as Master Qi said, but they were just a group of wine bags. Master Qi, this time, I am afraid that I will hand you a lot of people, hahahaha..."
Huang Zhigui forced a smile, but was a little surprised. Looking around, the Guifang warriors were either coarse cloth clothes or animal skin clothes, looking like a group of savages. Most of the Guifang people were very strong, and they had even seen a few Guifang warriors with bloody heads hanging around their waists.
There is no doubt that if the group of ghosts in front of me really want to start, they are indeed wild and difficult to tame.
Seeing that the Guifang people lit the tents of the officers and soldiers and burning in the fire, Huang Zhigui could only sigh and thought that these guys were really brave but not resourceful.
This sudden attack caught the officers and soldiers off guard, and everything went very smoothly. Huang Zhigui even felt that the other officers and soldiers had not known that they had been attacked here, but these stupid ghosts actually lit the tent. The fires were soaring into the sky. Even if the other officers and soldiers could not hear the sound from afar, they must have seen the fires here at this time.
"Master of the cave, are there three thousand people coming this time?" Surrounded by everyone, Huang Zhigui was wearing armor and a big sword at this time, and asked Yi Gusi.
Yi Gusi nodded and said, "We sent 3,200 troops to our sixteen caves, plus the staff of Master Qi, nearly 6,000. This battle is already 80% sure."
Huang Zhigui said: "King Master, it's not time to go. Let's quickly reorganize the army and head for Taiyuan City overnight." Seeing the ghost soldiers running around the camp, it was quite messy. Although Huang Zhigui was satisfied with the courage of the ghost soldiers in combat, he was still very disappointed with the discipline of their field soldiers. However, he quickly thought to himself that if such brave soldiers had a very strict discipline, it would be even harder to deal with in the future. It would be a good thing to have some flaws.
Yi Gusi then ordered the cave master beside him, "Call people and prepare to attack Taiyuan." Seeing that Huang Zhigui brought almost all his subordinates, Yi Gusi showed envy in his eyes. Huang Zhigui saw it and smiled: "Koke, after taking Taiyuan, you will deal with the arsenal in Taiyuan City. As far as I know, there are a lot of weapons and armor in Taiyuan City, which are all equipped by the Imperial Guards, very exquisite."
Yi Gusi's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Master Qi, this is certain."
The master of the caves of Guifang shouted loudly and summoned the Guifang warriors. There were still six or seven hundred people. Yi Gusi said to Huang Zhigui: "Master Qi, everyone else has been chasing the deserter. Let's chase after him..." After pausing, he leaned closer to Huang Zhigui's ear and whispered: "Master Qi, their reinforcements are probably going to chase him soon. Let's set off to Taiyuan City now..." He lowered his voice and smiled: "Tonight, let's see the bravery of our Guifang warriors. We have chosen the ambush place. When the officers and soldiers chased him, I will make no one of them left..." His face was full of excitement and his eyes were bright.
At that moment, the two men and horses joined together and headed straight towards Taiyuan City to the south. The cold wind was cold, and the few cavalrymen were in front, with more than two thousand people, full of murderous intent, like wolves and tigers.
Although the Guifang people are brave, the people under Huang Zhigui are not vegetarians. The Huang family has raised many disciples, and the strong men under the disciples are not just picking up one on the street. They were strictly deleting and selecting them at the beginning. Now more than a thousand subordinates of his subordinates may not have undergone strict military training, but their individual combat capabilities are not weak. If they fight against Guifang people one-on-one, they will definitely not be at a disadvantage.
In order not to show the target, Huang Zhigui ordered everyone to put out the torch. He was very familiar with the terrain of this area of Taiyuan, so he could still march smoothly even in the night.
"Master Yidong, where is the ambush place you mentioned?" Huang Zhigui and Yi Gusi rode in front and marched together. Huang Zhigui's horse was a good horse brought out from the island, while Yi Gusi's horse was snatched from the Yizhou military camp.
"There is a small valley on the way to Taiyuan." Yi Gusi said: "Although there are several roads to Taiyuan, the nearest road to Taiyuan is from there. Although the road is not easy to walk when passing through the valley, you can just ambush there. When our troops enter Taiyuan, the pursuers behind can quickly see that we are heading to Taiyuan. If they want to catch up with us as soon as possible, they will definitely choose that road...!"
"I know, you are talking about Lihua Valley." Huang Zhigui nodded slightly, "That's really a good place to ambush, but... the cave master, we can set up an ambush there, and the officers and soldiers may be prepared..."
Yi Gusi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Master Qi, they are afraid they have not figured out how many of us are there yet. Maybe they just thought that Master Qi's team landed on the shore assault. They may not expect that our ghost warriors have already come here. They will not know very well about our troops. Moreover, these wine bags are not good at fighting, but Yaowu Yang is more powerful than anyone else, and they will definitely chase him." He turned around and shouted, "Nuari!"
A cave master came up from behind, and was very respectful to Yi Gusi, and said, "Master Yi, what are the instructions?"
"According to the pre-design, you will stay here with 500 people. Remember, the officers and soldiers chase after them, don't fight and lead them to Lihua Valley. We set up an ambush there, and you will lead them to the bait." He looked at Huang Zhigui and smiled and said, "As long as the officers and soldiers can be led to the Lihua Valley smoothly, it will be a great achievement. Master Qi will definitely reward you!"
Huang Zhigui nodded and smiled: "Not bad."
At this moment, two fast horses from behind came to the side of Deyi Gusi, and it was reported: "The master of the cave, there are already a large number of officers and soldiers behind him moving towards this side!"
"Ah hahahaha..." Yi Gusi clapped his hands and smiled, "It's indeed a group of wine bags. Master Qi, it seems that those miscellaneous people are going to fall into the trap. Nuarli, you bring five hundred people, just wait here, light a torch, and lure them over. Remember, as long as they get closer, you should retreat quickly, the bigger the movement, the better..."
Huang Zhigui asked, "Master Yidong, five hundred people are enough? Why don't I leave some people behind?"
Yi Gusi shook his head and said, "Master Qi, the most important thing for us is to take down Taiyuan City. Only by taking down Taiyuan City can we rescue the old ghost master. Your manpower should be used to attack Taiyuan City. One more manpower and more effort, and we cannot waste it here. Master Qi, it is not advisable to go to the scene. The officers and soldiers are about to catch up, so we cannot delay..."
Huang Zhigui nodded, waved his hand, leaving Nuali with five hundred people to stay, and the rest went to Lihua Valley.
The entire army was not slow. After a while, several fast horses appeared from the front. Huang Zhigui raised his hand and immediately bent his bow and arrows from behind him. However, he saw several ghosts. The people were actually wearing heads on their waists, and their flesh was fuzzy. Huang Zhigui felt a little thrust when he saw it, but he knew that the heads must be from the officers and soldiers.
"The cave master, the officers and soldiers have all ran away." One person came up immediately, "We have killed hundreds of people, but the remaining Yizhou troops fled in scattered. The brothers were going to scatter and chase after him, but the master Jian cave ordered that they would not be dispersed. Now the brothers gathered in the Lihua Valley...!"
Yi Gusi nodded and said, "Very good." He said to Huang Zhigui: "Master Qi, Jian Hu has brought people to gather in the Lihua Valley. The Lihua Valley should now be in our control..."
Huang Zhigui nodded and smiled, "Okay, Master Yidong, your arrangements are very appropriate. If you take over Taiyuan City, you will definitely receive a reward."
Without further ado, the entire army continued to move forward. After more than an hour, they saw a shadow appearing in front of them, as if a giant beast with open mouth lying on its side in front of them. The entrance was also quite large. Huang Zhigui knew that it was Lihua Valley and the closest road to Yusuo Lake to Taiyuan City.
When they approached the valley entrance, a team of people came immediately, and the first one was also tall and tall. Huang Zhigui and others held the horse, but the man came forward, but it was Jian Hu, one of the sixteen cave masters of the Guifang.
Jian Hu had already come to Huang Zhigui with a smile, and said with a smile: "Master Qi, the Yizhou army has been defeated, the Lihua Valley has fallen into our hands, and both sides have ambushed our people. If the officers and soldiers don't come, they will be fine. If they come, they will never come back."
Yi Gusi said, "I have ordered Nu Ali to lead people to lure the officers and soldiers behind. They should not be here soon." He said, "Master Qi, you go to the valley first to Taiyuan City. We have packed up the officers and soldiers, and immediately follow us and take Taiyuan together!"
Huang Zhigui looked at the dark valley entrance ahead, and a strange look flashed through his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Master Yidong, let's go through the valley together, what do you think?"
