Chapter 146: A Plan to Knock on the Mountain

Liang Jin, Chu Hong, and Luo Hu's eyes shot the same light at the same time, and between them and Lin Han, they understood their respective thoughts, it was impossible for their brothers not to save them, even if their subordinates thought that this person had no possibility of saving this matter, but they still had to go, this was the result that they had decided a long time ago.

It is better to live and die than to live alone. No one can die before their eyes. Because they are brothers.

"And me, I'm going too. ”

Jiang Ming slowly stepped forward, stood in front of the four of them, his eyes were extremely firm, and he smiled loudly: "This matter, it's not good without me." ”

Liang Jin, Luo Hu, and Chu Hong were all stunned, they were not surprised by Jiang Ming's appearance, but because Jiang Ming had not recovered from his serious injury, they also participated in this meeting, and joined their union at the first time, this kind of performance that had become a knee-jerk reaction made them quite satisfied, but they were also secretly worried.

Lin Han said: "You don't have to go, this matter is dangerous, the two camps of Jinlin and Zhu Gai are connected, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses are all stationed near Cloud Falcon Mountain, and there are also six or seven generals with more than eight rank in their military camp, you are just sending people to the head if you are injured, sick and crippled, and if you miss it, we will have to save you, your behavior is not very good." ”

Jiang Ming heard the meaning of Lin Han's refusal to let him participate in the war, how could he not know what he thought, but he had made a decision, he would not change it, he pretended to be angry and pushed Lin Han away, and said: "Don't give me this set, even if I am injured, I will not be killed by some miscellaneous soldiers, and you still want to bully me while I am injured?

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ming and Lin Han both laughed out loud in unison, and the solemn meeting seemed to have turned into a farce for a while, and Liang Jin and the others were stunned for a few seconds as if they had seen a mental illness.

Luo Hu said in a low voice: "These two people are usually quite normal, why did they suddenly go crazy?"

Chu Hong said: "Could this be the legendary heart with a soul, and it's too out of place, right?"

At this moment, the sentry came to report: "Back to the commanders, Lou Zhong, the general of the eighth section of the Panglu military camp, led thousands of men and horses to cross the area under the jurisdiction of our battalion and enter the Jiaozhi Mountains, but Lou Zhong does not seem to have given up and is preparing for the second round of impact." ”

Another sentry came into the camp and said: "Back to the commanders, Li Zhengxing and Luo Yaohua under the Pang Lu tent are calling for battle in front of the camp, and there are many people behind them, and there are probably tens of thousands of people. ”

Hearing this news, the faces of the people in the tent instantly became solemn, and Liang Jin said: "Pang Lu may have already gotten the news, although there are many soldiers and horses who come to challenge, but there are only two generals who can make me feel pressure, so it is obvious that this is to cover up the cover of the army sent by Pang Lu to really encircle and suppress Menglang, but if we don't fight, I'm afraid this military camp will really face the danger of a big war, and the advantage of the number of soldiers and horses will be revealed." ”

Chu Hong asked: "Then what should we do?" Pang Lu sent troops and horses to contain it, so we had to leave the main army to guard the barracks, and the generals who could go to the northern mountains and forests could not all take action, but if there was any more delay, I was afraid that Meng Lang might not be able to support the combined siege of those three armies. ”

Liang Jin said: "In this way, our plan must be changed, not only to rescue Meng Lang in time, but also to do a good job of guarding the military camp, this point we need to arrange carefully, if we all go out of the camp to the northern mountains and forests, then the empty military camp martial arts will create opportunities for Li Zhengxing and others." ”

Luo Hu pondered: "The roads in the mountains and forests in the north are narrow, and what we want you to face is the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhu Gai and Jinlin, and their combat strength naturally exceeds us several times, so we can only outwit and not attack, and for the geography of that area, my eldest son and I undoubtedly have a great advantage, but you and Hanzi can guard the military camp." ”

Lin Han said: "What you said is very reasonable, but the northern mountains and forests must be full of traps now, and you also need a guide who is good at mountain warfare, otherwise it is very likely that you will fall into the encirclement of the enemy, not to mention saving people, I am afraid that you will also fall into it." ”

Chu Hong said: "Am I not a guide who is good at mountain warfare? You mean that we will also march in several ways to confuse the vision of the enemy's spies to a certain extent, and at the same time, we will be led by a warrior who is good at mountain warfare, and then make a convergence after going to Cloud Falcon Mountain." ”

Lin Han said: "That's what it means, I heard that Du Henghe is very talented in this area and can walk with Luohu, and you will take Miss Huanziyu to march from another road, and my battalion will also have a large army to support you as your main army, and at the same time restrain the attack with Li Zhengxing and Luo Yaohua's army, if we can, we will launch a full-scale attack on Jiaozhi City to deter Pang Lu, and it is very likely that the pressure you face will be weakened a little." ”

Liang Jin said: "That's right, since Hanzi and I can't go, Mengzi's life will be handed over to you." The danger you will face will be several times greater than ours, and because the armies of Jin Lin and Zhu Gai have not been completely attacked from beginning to end, we do not know the details of their strength, which means that you are facing an army that we do not know very well, and this situation is even more disadvantageous to you, so every foot army must not make a mistake, and can only succeed and not fail. ”

Luo Hu and Chu Hong looked at each other, their eyes were very solemn, and they said in unison: "Understood!" At this moment, Liang Jin and Lin Han handed over Meng Lang's life

In their hands, because only if they successfully go to Cloud Falcon Mountain and successfully repel the enemy army, Meng Lang can be rescued.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, Mu Ya, who had been silent, spoke up, he walked over to Liang Jin, took the topographic map around Jiaozhi City in his hand and looked at it for a long time, frowned, and said: "With all due respect, you only think about how to meet Pang Lu's tricks, but you have forgotten a very important matter, how is Meng Lang's current situation?

Liang Jin paused in his tone and said, "Mr. Mu Ya, what do you mean ......?"

Mu Ya waved his hand, called a group of generals to his side, and said: "You look at this map, Cloud Falcon Mountain is about three hundred miles away, and the road in the middle is mostly swamps and mountain roads that no one has walked, and the five commanders estimated that they were also trying to join the army as soon as possible, so they thought about taking this road to avoid risks, his strategy was not wrong, but Jin Lin and Zhu Gai were able to stop him just right, do you think this kind of coincidence is not worth doubting?"

Lin Han said: "What does Mr. Mu Ya mean is that there are spies in Meng Lang's army?"

Mu Ya snorted lightly: "It's not that there is anything to describe, his thousand-strong army has been attacked several times under the siege of Jinlin and Zhu Gai, but it is still not annihilated, this is not related to the bravery of the five commanders, but the importance of the people around Meng Lang, you should not have imagined these before I said this, right?"

Jiang Ming said: "Could it be that the number of spies in the besieged army of Meng Lang has reached a large proportion, or there are more important spies among them? That's why Meng Lang will be ambushed again and again, otherwise with his reasons for fighting, he will not choose to enter the lonely mountain to wait for rescue until he is at a dead end." And that spy may be the person next to Meng Lang, and the reason why Jin Lin and Zhu Gai didn't kill Meng Lang as soon as possible was because they wanted to lure us into action, and second, they also needed to rescue the spy who was around Meng Lang. ”

Chu Hong's face was stunned, as if he had heard something strange, and he was dumbfounded: "These are all your speculations?"

Mu Ya didn't have an expression, and he didn't pay attention to what the leaders were thinking, and continued: "What Jiang Ming said is my guess, but it's not actually a guess, because I am already ninety percent sure that their plan is exactly like this, if we rush into the mountains and forests, I'm afraid that before we reach the Cloud Falcon Mountain, we will be consumed by a group of guerrillas." And it was not that they were unwilling to take Menglang, but that they were waiting for an opportunity, waiting for that mountain to really become a dangerous mountain, and they could take it down without too many soldiers. ”

"When I used to live in Songtao Ridge, I used to walk the mountain road to the area of Cloud Falcon Mountain, where the trees on the mountain are broad-leaved deciduous forests, and often lose countless leaves before autumn arrives, so that area is the easiest to hide ambushes and set traps. Moreover, the altitude of the Cloud Falcon Mountain is not very high, there is a natural mountain stream in the mountain, and it is not a problem to let Meng Lang hold on there for a few days, but as far as I know, the mosquitoes there are extremely powerful, and there were Qin soldiers who were guarding there earlier because they were bitten by mosquitoes, which caused a large-scale epidemic, and the weather is hot and dry now, if the Meng Lang army has been exposed to the water sources and mosquitoes there for a long time, it is very likely to fall into an uncontrollable situation, which is the worst. ”

Liang Jin said eagerly: "Mr. Mu Ya, what you said reminds me, when we came to this area earlier, the mountain lord had not yet captured the northern mountain forest area, there was indeed an epidemic there, where the infected person's mouth ulcerated and could not eat, and stones would appear in the abdomen within two or three days, and then blisters appeared all over the body, and then the body began to rot. The epidemic was very devastating at that time, and almost all of the more than 5,000 people in the Qin army at that time were all infected, including two martial arts masters of the eighth rank, and finally their bodies were burned to control the epidemic. ”

Luo Hu said: "The epidemic had a wide impact, but fortunately, the mountain owner ordered a ban on traveling in that area as soon as possible, and sprinkled a large amount of quicklime to prevent the infected from coming to the area of Wohua Mountain, otherwise Wohua Mountain would also suffer a catastrophe." But isn't this epidemic a long time ago? Is it possible to spread again?"

Liang Jin said solemnly: "The source of the epidemic was not the people who were infected at the beginning, and the other creatures that were active in the area of Yunfalcon Mountain, the military advisor had a judgment at that time, saying that the air in that area was depressed and cold, the mountain streams could not draw the sun, the forests could not take light, the mosquitoes could not be purified, the birds and beasts could not wash their feet, and other yin things were in the middle, so it caused the spread of the epidemic. In the past few years, although human beings have not set foot in it for a long time, the source of the epidemic there has never been found and destroyed, and Mengzi may really face the risk of being contaminated with the epidemic there. ”

Mu Ya said: "That's right, so you have to understand one thing, what you want to save is likely to be the latest source of the epidemic, if Meng Lang is not injured, then the dirty air may not be enough to cause him to get sick, but as long as he and his soldiers and horses are injured, then the possibility of them getting involved in the epidemic will increase." ”

Chu Hong shouted angrily: "So what? Isn't that epidemic rumored that there is no medicine to suppress it? If Mengzi accidentally provokes it, then we have to kill him?"

Jiang Ming said: "Mu Ya, everyone has not thought of these before, but since you said it, does it prove that you have a way? Meng Lang can't die so easily, if there is a way, even if it is more difficult, you have to do it." ”

Mu Ya sighed lightly and said, "I can't do anything about the epidemic

, but I can indeed come up with some ideas for rescuing Meng Lang, but this method is difficult to implement, and if you are not careful, you will also fall into a place of no return. ”

Luo Hu said: "Please Mr. Mu Ya arrange, in order to save Meng Lang, we are willing to give all our energy, even if it is life!"

Mu Ya slowed down and said: "Jin Lin once held a position in the northern city, and he also knew about the epidemic back then, Jiang Ming, let me ask you, if you are a general, how should you place your army?"

Jiang Ming said: "You asked the wrong person, right? How did I know about leading troops to fight, according to my thoughts, it was to kill Meng Lang's army in one fell swoop, and stay away from these places." Or drive Meng Lang to the place where the plague originated, and then keep it outside himself, and let them die of the plague, although it is a little too vicious. ”

Mu Ya said: "That's right, you, a layman who doesn't know much about leading soldiers, know these truths, how could Jin Lin and Zhu Gai not know? In this case, their own armies will be built in open and ventilated places, and there will be a clean water source, and their own people will be strictly guarded against entering the area where Meng Lang is located, so as to prevent the spread of the disease. ”

Jiang Ming said: "These people are also ruthless, and they really regard Meng Lang as a test test to test the epidemic, but since they are in the mountains and forests, how can there be an open place there? Could it be that they can still set fire to the mountains?"

Mu Ya said: "Yes, they will set fire to the mountain, but because of mosquito bites, they are likely to set up a mountain as a camp, although if this continues, they will fall into a lonely mountain like Meng Lang, but in order not to get infected with the epidemic, they have no other choice, this is your opportunity." ”

Luo Hu said: "Sir, please make it clear." ”

Mu Ya said: "Those who set fire must first spread their fire materials and know the direction of the wind before they can ignite the fire." However, Jin Lin and Zhu Gai, as high-ranking officers of the Qin Dynasty, could not have set fire to their own people in vain, and the continuous mountains and forests in the north were very likely to cause 800 miles of mountains and forests to scorch the earth, which was not the result they hoped for. The day before yesterday, on the road, I observed the stars in these days, and found that two strong winds would reach the vicinity of the Cloud Falcon Mountain at night in two days, which would be an opportunity for Jinlin and them, because it was the collision of two strong winds, which would suppress the spread of the fire in the middle, so as to realize the idea of emptying several mountains without causing a full-blown fire. Luohu, Chu Hong, you must arrive at the Cloud Falcon Mountain at night in two days, and change the direction of the wind at the time of the fire, so that the fire will directly burn the Cloud Falcon Mountain, and in that dangerous place, the encirclement of Jinlin and Zhu Gai will be weakened, and you will have a chance to rescue Meng Lang's army. ”

When Luo Hu heard such a bold idea, he looked shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Mu Ya, you're not joking with me, are you? Change the direction of the wind? How can I have that ability? There is also a fire that wants to cover the Cloud Falcon Mountain, so if Meng Lang is accidentally trapped in it, won't the ending be just as tragic?"

Mu Ya said: "I'm not joking, I already told you before, I passed by Cloud Falcon Mountain a few years ago, I saw the scenery there, and I know that there is the source of the epidemic, so I also know some of the secrets." I don't have to hide it from you, the source of the epidemic there was originally artificially arranged, and there is an extremely mysterious Qimen formation, which can call the wind and rain, so that the source of the epidemic in it can not be destroyed. ”

"What? the source of the artificially arranged disease? and a strange formation? what is hidden in it?" the crowd began to ask.

Mu Ya shook his head and said, "I don't know why someone arranged that formation to protect the source of the epidemic, but after I discovered the mystery, I went deep into the Cloud Falcon Mountain, but I spent a day looking for it, but I almost got lost in it, so I was even more sure of my guess, someone wanted to do something with the help of the epidemic." ”

Everyone came back to their senses from the shock, and Lin Han said: "No matter who that person is, no matter what his purpose is, but it is definitely not a good person to keep the source of this epidemic that hurts the heavens and reason, but judging from the fact that he can arrange a wonderful formation, he must be a person who has the means to reach the sky, but we can't be provoked." ”

Mu Ya said: "That's true, so we still focus on saving people first." At that time, I carefully studied that formation, and found that the formation was ranked as a creation, and it was divided into five other gates, which could only be regarded as a formation that had just reached the status level, and it was impossible for me to destroy it, but I could change it with the help of an external force, and that external force was the fire. When the fire reaches the wooden gate, you will use brute force to temporarily destroy the structure of the wooden door, and the formation will automatically guide the wind to pour into the Cloud Falcon Mountain, and when the formation is automatically repaired, the fire has already spread for hundreds of miles, and maybe even the tens of thousands of troops of Jin Lin and Zhu Gai will be buried in one fell swoop. I'll draw you a detailed road map in a moment, and I'm familiar with the terrain, so it's not hard for you to get out of the weakest part of the fire. ”

Liang Jin said: "Although Mr. Mu Ya's method may cause a large-scale fire in the northern mountains and forests, but in the face of the siege and killing of the Qin soldiers, we have no other way but to gain vitality through this means, and Meng Lang can only survive by relying on Mr. 's clever plan." ”

Mu Ya said: "This plan is seventy percent certain, and the speed of the march of Luo Hu and Chu Hong determines the key to victory or defeat, please take care!"

"Take care!"

The generals under the tent bowed to Luo Hu and Chu Hong together.
