In the ice and snow, a group of cavalry galloped quickly.
The trees and mountains on the roadside flashed by, and the cold wind blew on the face, making people feel raw.
After a while, the team stopped on a narrow road.
There were steep mountain walls on both sides of the narrow road.
The mountain walls were tens of feet high and towered into the clouds.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, as big as goose feathers.
Every member of the cavalry team came to a halt.
Everyone is covered with a thick layer of snowflakes.
Yang Jinrong, who was at the front, turned around and asked, "Captain Deng, this is what you are talking about."
"Yes."
Deng Xiaochao nodded, rode forward, pointed his riding whip at the mountain walls on both sides, and said: "General Yang, please look, the mountain walls on both sides are so steep that it is almost impossible for people to climb.
We only need to ambush our brothers here."
At both ends of the corridor, when He Shichang's escort team enters this corridor, we will block their way out and retreat from the front and back, and they will not be able to escape even if they have wings."
Yang Jinrong carefully observed the terrain here and was very satisfied.
He smiled and said to Deng Xiaochao: "This is a good place chosen by Captain Deng.
This is it."
After saying that, Yang Jinrong pondered for a moment, and then said to Deng Xiaochao: "Deng Duwei, when the killing starts later, don't hurt He Shichang's life.
After all, he is also a general, and his relationship with the general is not bad, or Leave him alive" Deng Xiaochao sneered in his heart, hesitated for a moment and said: "General Yang, since you two have a good relationship, it is very likely that He Shichang will recognize you.
If you let him go, he will think of this scene afterwards and suspect that If you are killed, do you think he will let you go?
General Yang, you cannot be kind to women when doing important things.
At critical moments, You must not be soft now, otherwise it will be too late when you want to regret it.
Now not only the Tianshan Army is short of military pay, but the Desert Army is also short of military pay.
Why did Marshal Wang only allocate military pay to He Shichang, but ignored the Desert Army?
There is a difference between closeness and distance.
General Yang is probably not as important to Marshal Wang as He Shichang."
Yang Jinrong struggled in his heart for a while, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Okay, when the fight starts later, kill them all, leaving no one alive."
"I understand."
Deng Xiaochao agreed with his fists clasped, and then waved to the masked knights behind him and shouted: "Everyone is divided into two.
The people on the left will follow me to the exit of the aisle, and the people on the right will follow General Yang to the entrance of the aisle behind.
When all the targets enter the tunnel, do they understand the attack from the front and back?"
"promise" The team quickly split into two.
One team returned to the original route and ambush behind the cliffs on both sides of the entrance to the double road, and the other team ambush behind the cliff at the exit.
After about an hour, a team came from far away.
This was a Tang Army cavalry team with more than fifty people.
There were six carriages in the team.
The carriages were loaded with large wooden boxes, all of which were tied with thick hemp ropes.
He Shichang, fully clothed and riding a horse, walked at the front of the team.
He whipped his horse with a whip from time to time and shouted back: "Hurry up, those behind will follow."
A soldier rode up to catch up with He Shichang and asked: "General, I don't know what's going on with the Tianshan Army.
Can we stabilize the situation by taking these copper coins?"
Another soldier also caught up and said: "Yes, General, what if we go over with these coins and are robbed by the soldiers?"
"Who dares?"
He Shichang snorted coldly and said, "Before, we didn't pay the soldiers, so those soldiers got into chaos.
Now we go back with the military pay.
If they dare to mess up again, it's a rebellion."

The soldier who spoke first said again: "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy in my heart."
He Shichang thought that the soldiers were scared, so he could only comfort him: "Don't be afraid.
As long as the army stabilizes, you will have done a great job, and I will not treat you badly."
The soldier didn't make a sound.
He lowered his head while riding on the horse and didn't know what he was thinking.
When the team was about to enter the lane, the soldier on the left looked at the large number of horse hoof prints on the snow and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there so many horse hoof prints in this wilderness?
It looks like a large group of people are passing by."
The soldier on the right smiled and said: "There is nothing strange about this.
This road is the road to Gaochang.
There are many people on the road.
It is normal to have these horse hoof prints."
"There are no footprints, only horse hoof prints, and there are a lot of them.
Who would brave the wind and snow on this snowy day?"
"What you are saying is strange.
We can all brave the snow and rush on the road, so why don't others also have urgent matters to rush on the road in the heavy snow?"
The soldier on the left asked: "General, we are about to enter the passage.
The younger one will go and explore the road first."
He Shichang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't be suspicious all the time.
This is a road with many pedestrians.
Nothing will happen.
Let's ask the sergeants behind to hurry up."
"Yes, General" The wheels of the carriage creaked on the snow.
From time to time, someone yelled at the animals pulling the carriage, and the whips crackled.
He Shichang and his party walked into the corridor.
"There's someone behind me!"
Suddenly a loud shout spread to the entire team.
He Shichang turned around and saw that a team had indeed appeared behind the team.
Those people were all masked, holding a variety of weapons, blocking the retreat and charging towards them.
He was shocked and immediately shouted: "Quick, hurry up and get out of the lane, drive" The horsemen driving the carriage and the soldiers protecting the carriage began to panic.
There were only more than fifty of them.
The enemy came from behind.
They wanted to turn around but they had no courage, so they could only rush the carriage towards the exit of the road.
Just when He Shichang and others were about to rush out of the intersection in fear, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way forward.
The war horse raised its hooves and stood up.
He Shichang on the horse was almost knocked off the horse.
"Lu" finally calmed the war horse, but He Shichang was already very frightened.
Deng Xiaochao, who was running at the front on horseback with his face covered, took out his weapon and pointed his finger forward, shouting: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The knight behind him stood up and roared, and the sound of a large number of horse hooves resounded throughout the entire road.
At this time, the pursuers behind him had also caught up with He Shichang's team from behind.
He Shichang, who was frightened, could not escape at this time.
There were cliffs on both sides, and there were blocks in front and behind.
There was almost no other way except to bite the bullet and fight.
At the critical moment, He Shichang still aroused a trace of blood.
He drew his horizontal sword and shouted: "Brothers, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road.

Follow me and fight a bloody road."
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Tang Army who were escorting the soldiers knew that they had to fight to the death.
If they didn't fight, they would die.
Since the other party set up an ambush here and covered their faces, they just didn't want anyone to know their identity.
Even if they surrender, they would be dead ends.
The only way to survive is to fight to the death.
If you can get out, you will survive.
If you can't, you will die here.
The two sides quickly engaged in battle, but He Shichang failed to rush out.
In the snowy road, the horses could not run fast and were blocked in front.
The two sides fought in a melee.
He Shichang's men and horses were blocked in the middle and could not advance or retreat.
They were flanked from front to back.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and casualties skyrocketed.
There was no suspense about the outcome.
All He Shichang's men were killed, and he himself was hacked off his horse by Deng Xiaochao and was seriously injured.
Yang Jinrong jumped off the horse, pulled down his mask and walked towards the seriously injured He Shichang with a knife.
When He Shichang saw that the leader of the masked men was actually Yang Jinrong, he pointed at Yang Jinrong in shock: "You, you, Yang Jinrong, why are you doing this?"
"Wait until you get to the Hall of the King of Hell to ask the Lord of Hell."
After Yang Jinrong said this, he raised his knife and chopped off, and his head rolled to the side for a moment.
Deng Xiaochao said loudly at this time: "It's over.
Brothers, drive the carriage and leave here immediately.
Take the dead brothers away with you.
Check them carefully to see if anything is left behind.
Don't leave any evidence to be traced."
"promise" Bodies were lying on the snow, and the blood had dyed the snow red.
Yang Jinrong and others quickly drove the carriage away from the direction of the road.
The team walked at high speed for twenty or thirty miles, far away from the place where the battle had just taken place.
Only then did Yang Jinrong relax and feel happy.
This operation was finally a success.
As long as all the money is transported back, the military salary of the Desert Army can be solved. , and there were still some left, and other people in the team also began to lower their masks and started talking and laughing.
After walking for another thirty miles, Deng Xiaochao saw that many people in the team were a little tired.
After all, they had just gone through a big battle and had driven such a long distance so fast that everyone was very tired.
So he suggested to Yang Jinrong: "General Yang , I see that everyone is very tired, why not stop and rest for a while."
Yang Jinrong looked around, then put up a pergola and looked forward.
He saw a valley a few miles ahead, where he could take shelter from the wind and snow, so he pointed to the front and said, "Go and rest in the valley in front.
You can also take shelter."
Take shelter from the wind and snow, it’s too cold in the wild.”
"That's okay."
Deng Xiaochao agreed, waving his riding crop and loudly said: "Brothers, work harder and go to the valley ahead to rest."
The team soon arrived in the valley.
Deng Xiaochao, under Yang Jinrong's instructions, asked the soldiers to rest.
These people were their own soldiers, and they were all trustworthy people.
They were not too particular.

Everyone found their own place to rest and eat.
Dry food and water to drink.
At this moment, hundreds of people suddenly rushed out from the snow-covered slopes on both sides.
These people were wearing various clothes and all had their faces covered.
They rushed down the slope shouting and holding various weapons.
Come to Yang Jinrong and others.
Yang Jinrong and others who were resting and had completely given up their guard were shocked and panicked.
The ambush troops rushed down too fast.
Yang Jinrong was scattered by the large ambush troops before he could even organize his defense.
The two sides immediately started a melee, panicking.
Yang Jinrong and others were killed and retreated continuously.
The soldiers rushed to fight, lacked preparation, and showed their timidity.
Only 30% of their 100% combat power was used.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Jinrong's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and were ambushed one by one.
They were chopped to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Deng Xiaochao immediately pulled Yang Jinrong and ran towards the horse.
Yang Jinrong shouted: "Let me go, I will fight with them."
Deng Xiaochao did not let go.
He pulled Yang Jinrong and ran while saying loudly: "General Yang, don't be stupid.
We can't take away the military pay.
It's important to escape now.
Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood."
"Hey" Yang Jinrong also knew that what Deng Xiaochao said was right.
After sighing, he and he ran to the horse, got on the horse, and the two of them immediately hit the horse and ran forward.
In a short time, Yang Jinrong's soldiers were all killed, but Deng Xiaochao's soldiers were all safe and sound.
They were neither killed nor injured, and they all got up from the ground.
The leader of the ambush pulled down his mask and ordered: "Check again to see if you are pretending to be dead.
Make it clean and don't leave any tails."
The person who said this was clearly Chu Ge.
He had not shown up since he was replaced by Yang Jinrong as the envoy of the Desert Army.
No one would have thought that he would appear here
