Chapter 238: The Way to Attack the Mountain
At night, Xia Yanran returned to the room after shopping for things, and saw that he was busy under the candlelight, so he said: "Childe, I have prepared the items needed for the happy event, you can come and see, I am afraid that Xiao Er will be careless, so I asked Xiao Er to go to the street with me to buy." β
Shen Feng didn't raise his head and said: "No need, you went to buy it in person, I don't worry." β
Xia Yanran asked Xiao Er to put down the items, in order to buy these items, she made her sweat, and at this time saw that he was making something that she had never seen before, she sat opposite him and watched for a while in curiosity, and finally couldn't help asking: "Childe, are you making kites?"
Shen Feng sniffed her fragrant sweat: "Yes, I saw a beautiful girl outside just now, and when I came back, I thought about making a kite for her." β
Xia Yanran said lightly: "In this way, the son is busy alone, I won't bother."
Shen Feng raised his head and grinned: "You also believe this, Miss Xia still doesn't know me as a person, since I promised to save your maid, I will never dry the net for three days and fish for two days." β
Xia Yanran glanced at him and said, "Then why do you make such a kite?"
Shen Feng stopped what he was doing and said, "Of course, it's for your maid to escape from the wolf's den." β
Xia Yanran glanced at this unusual kite a few times and asked, "Why do you have to make your kite bigger than others?"
"Keep it a secret for the time being, lest you leak the military information!" Shen Feng grinned.
"You like to whet people's appetite first, and then make something unexpected-" Xia Yanran glanced at him charmingly, then pointed to the kite and said, "You added a wooden board and steel nails here, do you want to fold the kite?"
"Well, if you don't fold it up, you won't be able to bring it into the centipede village-" Shen Feng said, "Miss Xia, please help me get a hammer"
Xia Yanran obediently went out to find the hammer, and after a while, she came back quickly, but she also brought a person, and the person who came shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, it turns out that you are here, I thought you went back." β
This guy must have done it on purpose, seeing Xia Yanran here, he probably shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that people would not hear him, Shen Feng smiled indifferently and said, "I went to Shuchuan a few days ago. β
"Oh, how did you end up with Xia Cainu. Tang Wei grinned.
"Coincidentally, I was also in Shuchuan a few days ago. Xia Yanran smiled slightly: "Unfortunately, I was captured by bandits on the way, thanks to Shen Gongzi's rescue, this time he came to help me rescue the maid in the centipede village." β
Tang Wei's eyes lit up, and he opened his eyes and said, "Do you have a way to go to the centipede village?"
Shen Feng said with a smile: "I have already mixed into the centipede village, the king of the centipede village is ready to get married today, and the matter of his marriage is handed over to me to deal with, so I can go in and out of the centipede village these days." β
"Great!" Tang Wei exclaimed excitedly: "Brother-in-law, we are all a family, I won't be polite to you, that's the case, I made a military order to capture Centipede Mountain within half a month, but Centipede Mountain is dangerous and tortuous, and there is a reed forest around, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this time I only led five hundred soldiers and horses, if there is no map of Centipede Mountain, it is difficult to capture this place, and Centipede Mountain is close to Yiling, if you can't fight quickly, in case Manichaean reinforcements arrive, it will be formed before and after the enemy. β
This brother-in-law is still not polite, I haven't skimmed the eight characters with Miss Tang, how did I become a family, and smiled helplessly: "Do you want me to help you get the map of Centipede Mountain?"
Tang Wei said with a smile: "Yes, brother-in-law, you must help me this time, my military order has been issued, if the half-month period is up, I can't capture Centipede Mountain, so I have to go back with my head up." β
Xia Yanran groaned for a while and said: "Childe, if you can help General Tang capture Centipede Mountain, whether it is for Dahua or for the people, it will be of great benefit, first, the Centipede Village sits on the mountain, endangering the people, and secondly, if you capture Centipede Mountain, you can drive straight into attack Yiling in the future, and there will be no worries, and if you capture Centipede Mountain, you can cut off Jingzhou and Yiling, so that the two cities can not take care of each other." β
"The name of Xia Cainu is indeed worthy of its name!" Tang Wei said: "If Centipede Mountain is not taken for a day, Dahua will have a headache for a day, let alone exterminate Manichaeism." β
Alas, I wanted to live a small life in peace, why are these troublesome and dangerous things on me one by one, the key is that this bastard brother-in-law talks to me about feelings, and I can't talk about it if I don't help him, Shen Feng smiled helplessly: "Since you all say so, I can't say it if I don't help, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to find out." β
Shen Feng turned around and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Tang Wei said solemnly: "As soon as we get the map, we will do it immediately, the sooner the better!"
Shen Feng said in a deep voice: "Did you really only bring five hundred people this time?"
"This can still be fake, there were only three hundred people, and the next two hundred people still came to me on my knees, and I could only sneak in to attack Centipede Mountain, if I brought a handful of people, before I came, I would besiege the Manichaean people!" Tang Wei said depressedly: "Besides, Dahua's troops are limited, I just want to ask for more soldiers and horses, and I don't want to." β
Shen Feng said helplessly: "Do you know how many people there are in Centipede Village?"
"About 10,000 people. Tang Wei said cautiously.
"That was a few days ago!" Shen Feng smiled and said, "Now that the Centipede Village has garrisoned 80,000 troops, I think these 70,000 people are ready to welcome you."
Tang Wei's face was bloodless, and he scolded in shock and anger: "Damn, do Manichaeans know that I am coming, why did they start stationing troops as soon as Lao Tzu came!"
"The timing is indeed very coincidental!" Shen Feng suddenly thought of the Du family's father and son, since there are Manichaean people in the civil office, there should also be Manichaean people in the military attachΓ©, otherwise it would not be Tang Wei who was just preparing to attack the Centipede Village, and the Manichaean sect would have wantonly deployed troops.
Xia Yanran muttered: "The Manichaean Sect knows that General Tang is coming, could it be that there are cultists lurking in the army, then this battle will be difficult to fight."
Tang Wei's first thought was that there were Manichaean people in the barracks, otherwise Manichaeism would not have seen the opportunity, and he originally wanted to sneak attack and be caught off guard, but he didn't expect this to be a trap to invite you into the urn.
Shen Feng suddenly said: "I have a way, you can see if it works"
"Brother-in-law, what method do you say?" Tang Wei said anxiously by pulling his shoulders.
"Since the Manichaean Sect has long known that you are going to attack the Centipede Village, then your five hundred men and horses must be very clear, they are 80,000 horses waiting for your five hundred soldiers and horses to send them to death, and the psychology will generally be slack, and it will be just two days before the king of the cottage wants to marry, and the night of the marriage is the best time to attack. Shen Feng slowly analyzed.
Tang Wei muttered: "Even if the bandits are slack, there are more than 80,000 of them, and they will send at least half of their troops to guard the mountain road."
"That's right, I've been to Centipede Mountain once before, and there are countless archers and guards in ambush along the way, at least 40,000 people. Shen Feng said: "So I thought of a way to make these 40,000 soldiers and horses vulnerable."
"Brother-in-law, tell me quickly, what can I do?"
"Burn the centipede village!" Shen Feng said loudly: "Once their nest burns up, they will definitely panic, but then we will have a chance."
When Tang Wei heard this, he patted him on the shoulder excitedly and said, "Good idea, as soon as I see the fire, I will immediately lead someone to rush up."
Shen Feng said with a smile: "When the time comes, let a few people take advantage of the chaos to shout that the king is dead or lie about the 100,000 Chinese soldiers to kill the mountain, in short, make some bluff kung fu, make them more chaotic, anyway, these tens of thousands of people have been so drunk that they don't even remember their mothers, it is estimated that whatever I shout, they will listen to." β
Xia Yanran covered her mouth and chuckled, and Tang Wei also laughed a few times.
Shen Feng said: "As for how to attack this, brother-in-law, you should know better, if you want to clean up these tens of thousands of people with five hundred people, you still need to work hard."
Tang Wei sighed and said: "This is also a distressing place, this time I don't plan to go back alive, if I have three long and two short, brother-in-law, you have to take good care of my sister for me." β
Lose his life on the battlefield at any time, if he doesn't have the determination to die, he won't lead five hundred people alone, this is his future brother-in-law after all, Shen Feng also wants to help him as much as possible, and he said after a deep sigh: "It's not that there are no battles in history that win more with less, the more dangerous this mountain is, the easier it is to take advantage of it, I will try to steal the map tomorrow, with the map, I can have more certainty." β
Tang Wei's face became solemn, and he said: "Although you are my brother-in-law, but we didn't have a very deep friendship before, but today I know that you are so brotherly, and my sister really didn't look away!"
Shen Feng coughed a few times, he knew that he was not that kind of hero, although it was a little dangerous this time, but if he was careful, he could also retreat with his whole body, if he really wanted to put on his armor and stomach to fight hard, he might retreat.
"Shen Gongzi is resourceful, heroic and righteous, in order to save me a maid, he is dedicated, it is commendable that Shen Gongzi is just a civilian, if he can help General Tang to suppress bandits this time and make great contributions, he will definitely be able to achieve a folk talk. Xia Yanran's beautiful eyes overflowed with colorful light and said.
Miss Xia, please don't say it again, men are afraid of being famous and women are afraid of being fat, if you make me famous, give me a military rank when the time comes, and then be arrested for military service, where is Lao Tzu going to cry, Shen Feng smiled dryly: "Miss Xia, don't praise me so much, I can't afford the advantages you said." β
Why did he change his temper all of a sudden, he usually doesn't like others to say good things about him, Xia Yanran smiled puzzledly, but Tang Wei said as a matter of course: "Xia Cainu is very right, if I win this battle, I will definitely tell my father the details." β
Shen Feng was dumb and couldn't say whether he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis, he smiled awkwardly, and the three of them discussed in detail for an hour, and they didn't leave until midnight, and the night passed.
