Zhao Zhen was wearing armor and sitting on a divine white horse. The people of Bianjing City paid their most eager attention to the prince. As a prince, Zhao Zhen was not well-known among the people. On the one hand, this was because his father, Zhao Heng, had a son from old age, and he was still a single child. Zhao Zhen had almost no opportunity to go deep into the people since he was a child. It was not until the autumn of this year that Zhao Heng suddenly issued a secret order for Zhao Zhen to travel south with Kou Zhun. This may have a lot to do with Zhao Heng's illness. At this time, Zhao Zhen's execution of traitorous officials such as Ding Wei set up a good image among the people of Bianjing.
Zhao Zhen¡¯s team, escorting the prison car, began to slowly go out of Bianjing City, and had already left Bianjing City an hour later. After leaving Bianjing City, everyone began to be secretly on guard. []
Bao Zheng was sitting in a carriage at this time, with Cui Wei and Dong Xianxian sitting next to him. The carriage was huge, but there was a map in the middle. Cui Wei was still meditating in front of the map. Bao Zheng used his finger to trace the map all the way north along the road. When he reached a place, Bao Zheng Stop suddenly.
Bao Zheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but said to Cuiwei: "Fairy Cuiwei, do you know where this place is? What's the terrain like?"
Cui Wei said: "Bao Zheng, this place is called Juelongpo! Juelongpo is a lower valley with two cliffs and mountains on both sides. To get to Taishan Temple, in addition to passing by Juelongpo, you can only climb over the mountain. Ridge!"
Bao Zheng frowned slightly after hearing this place name. He pondered for a moment and then said to Cuiwei: "Fairy Cuiwei, have you sent anyone to explore the way here? If this place is controlled by others, we will be easily trapped!" Bao Zheng expressed his doubts.
Fairy Cuiwei nodded and said: "Bao Zheng, you are indeed careful. However, the terrain of Juelongpo is dangerous. In fact, the two high mountains on both sides, Tianjue Mountain and Dijue Mountain, are stationed with thousands of forbidden troops. These two mountains are easy to defend. It is difficult to attack and will not be easily controlled. Even if someone attacks this place by force, the garrison on the mountain will send out smoke to let the forbidden army in Bianjing City know."
Bao Zheng nodded after hearing Cui Wei's words. Although Cui Wei always feels uneasy in his heart, since Cui Wei said that this place is impregnable and the plan has been implemented, it is not easy to change his mind at the last minute.
Bao Zheng turned to Dong Xianxian and said: "Xian'er, you will be in charge of the warning fireworks later. In case of any emergency, the fireworks must be set off."
Dong Xianxian nodded at this time. She lifted the curtain of the carriage. Not far in front of the carriage was a huge smoke train. On the fireworks train, there were 500 high-altitude fireworks prepared by Bao Zheng. In fact, they had only one purpose, which was to prevent emergencies.
The 50,000 Fencheng forbidden troops led by Yang Wenguang had arrived at Taishan Temple at this time. They have been hiding on the high mountain where Taishan Temple is located, waiting for the secret envoys of Moutianhui to enter.
The vanguard of Zhao Zhen's army was Kou Sui. At this time, he was still wearing heavy filial piety, carrying a dragon stick eight feet long on his shoulders, and rode forward on the black horse of the divine horse. Unconsciously, the team walked for more than an hour. At this time, they were still an hour and a half away from Taishan Temple, and they had already reached the boundary of Juelongpo. Kou then looked in the direction of Juelongpo, and saw the Song army patrolling from time to time on the high mountains on both sides of Juelongpo. After the team reached Juelong Slope, they kept walking forward without incident. Bao Zheng was standing behind the horizontal bar outside the carriage. He looked at everything on Juelongpo and his expression became nervous.
quiet! So quiet! Bao Zheng's uneasy feeling began to become stronger and stronger. A small river appeared in front of it, and above the river was a pontoon bridge that could allow carriages to pass.
Bao Zheng couldn't help but ask at this time: "Fairy, come out quickly! Why are there rivers and floating bridges here?"
Cui Wei also walked out at this time, took a look at the small river, and immediately replied: "The terrain of Juelongpo is dangerous. In order to guard against strong enemies from the north, we dug this river. The river is five feet wide and two feet deep. It is only used as a barrier." The function of cavalry is that a river of this width cannot stop a large army. For an army, it does not take more than two seconds to build a pontoon bridge."
When Bao Zheng learned that the river had always existed, he felt like he was about to let go of the stone in his heart, but he always felt that something was wrong.
The team began to pass the pontoon bridge, and the people in front of them all passed smoothly. The fireworks truck had already started to get on the pontoon. At this moment, Bao Zheng suddenly had a bright idea in his mind and shouted: "The fireworks truck retreats quickly!"
Before the people in the team could react, they heard a loud roar, bursts of water arose under the pontoon, and the originally fragile pontoon was instantly destroyed. The huge fireworks car actually fell into the water in an instant.
At this time, Bao Zheng slapped the crossbar of the carriage and shouted: "When encountering an enemy attack, protect the prince!" This moment was exactly what Bao Zheng didn't want to see, but it still happened! At this moment, Bao Zheng felt that he was not plotting against others, but that others were plotting against him at every step. What I originally thought was a well-planned plan suddenly felt like I was being swept away in an instant.upset.
Kou Sui heard the loud noise in front and immediately shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and build the pontoon! No one can be scattered and must be concentrated."
The part of the pontoon that was destroyed just now was only a small part. Although a few people fell into the water, they were all masters and swam up in a short time, so no casualties were caused at all. Now Zhao Zhen's team was split into two by the broken pontoon bridge. This was an extremely dangerous thing.
Bao Zheng looked around, but his eyes fell on a prison cart. He immediately gave an order: "Push the prison cart into the water! Let the people over there come over!"
Bao Zheng¡¯s words instantly reminded the people in the team that the prison van had not passed through the pontoon at this time, and was all at Bao Zheng¡¯s end. After Bao Zheng gave the order, two prison cars were immediately pushed into the water, but the prisoners inside were drowned alive.
Just as Bao Zheng¡¯s people were pushing the prison car and the pontoon bridge, bursts of shouts suddenly rang out from the two mountains nearby. At some point, someone rushed over from both wings. Bao Zheng glanced at the men and horses rushing over, and immediately made a rough estimate. There were at least 7,000 to 8,000 people on one side. This group of people formed a fan-shaped encirclement and surrounded them.
Cui Wei glanced at the situation at this time, and immediately pulled out the command flag from the carriage. The huge red flag pointed in the direction he came from, and the target was Juelongpo.
Bao Zheng glanced at Juelongpo not far behind him and already knew Cuiwei's intention. It is the highest hill in the valley, and there are no trees to cover it, so we can rely on the terrain advantage there. Because the area around Juelongpo is empty, Cuiwei's advantage in formation command can be used. Nowadays, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves. If we want to have a chance of survival, we must fight against the odds!
Because the pontoon bridge is filled with two prison cars, it is ready for the team to come over. At this time, because there were many captains and corps commanders holding the line, and Cui Wei ascended high to wave the command flag, the army's morale was calm. Although it faced an enemy several times larger than its own, there was not much panic.
Cui Wei simply stood on the roof of the carriage at this time, and the people and horses quickly retreated. Kou Sui and others rode horses. After everyone had crossed the pontoon bridge safely, they then rushed across the pontoon bridge with their horses.
The troops gathered together successfully, and the troops retreated to the highest hillside, Juelongpo with lightning speed! Because the enemy troops on both sides came from the mountains and jungles on both sides that were far away, they formed an oval formation and began to slowly close in. Bao Zheng knew that facing this situation, it was impossible to break through with force. The enemy's strength is seven times that of our own, and our own basically does not have cavalry. In this situation, the probability of breaking through and surviving is zero.
The carriage where Cui Wei and Bao Zheng were sitting had already occupied the most central position, and the prince on his white horse had retreated to the side of the carriage. Bao Zheng glanced at Zhao Zhen who was riding on the white horse, and saw that he was a little excited at this time, but more trembling because of fear. He is trying his best to hide his timidity and wants to prove that he is a man. Bao Zheng looked at Zhao Zhen's expression and immediately thought to himself: This Zhao Zhen is only thirteen years old, and he has been pampered since he was a child. It is extremely difficult for him to be able to face a powerful enemy and stay calm in the face of danger.
Bao Zheng jumped off the carriage and walked up to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Highness, the sword has no eyes. You'd better go inside the carriage and hide for a while!"
Zhao Zhen shouted resolutely: "There are so many enemies and the disparity in strength between us and the enemy. How can you, as the highest officer of an army, live in a carriage? I will stand here today! Even if I cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, I will We must cheer for the great Song Dynasty man!"
Zhao Zhen¡¯s words spread across the hillside in an instant and reached the ears of every soldier of the Song Dynasty. Morale was instantly mobilized, and shouts and shouts rang out from the crowd.
Bao Zheng and others were a little stunned after hearing Zhao Zhen's words. He did not expect that Zhao Zhen, at such a young age, had already grasped the morale boost so well. When two armies fight, there are many factors that determine victory, among which morale is a very critical one.
Cui Wei was standing on the roof of the high carriage, waving the huge bright red flag in her hand! Suddenly, the two big drums in the center of Juelongpo began to sound. As the drums sounded, everyone on the field began to feel excited, and a chilling air began to slowly gather.
Cui Wei waved his flag and shouted: "Hold the formation!"
Cuiwei followed up with a rapid semaphore. Bao Zheng had learned the semaphore and knew Cuiwei's troop layout in an instant. Cuiwei dispatched the four armies in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. Kou Sui was in the south, Pan Su was in the west, Fang Qing was in the east, and Gongsun Ce was in the north.
After the semaphore, the four commanders were the first to take their positions, and then the commander's semaphore began to be announced. "Defend the formation!" After the flag, the two thousand warriors began to mobilize in an orderly manner. In an instant, the holding formation without any omissions was set up. After the formation was completed, a loud roar rang out from the entire Juelongpo. "Roar!" The voice shook the sky, the momentum was like a rainbow, and there was a wave of incomparable power.Starting from Cuiwei in the middle of Juelong Slope, he started to rush out in all directions with all his deterrence.
