Chapter 169: Confrontation

Mu Jishi, who received the report of exploring horses along the way, stood at the door of the military tent early, and when he saw Qianduyu getting out of the car, he hurriedly greeted him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"I felt relaxed when the general came to guide," Mu Jishi said with a smile.

"How's the front line?" asked Twilight with concern.

"Everything is under the control of the silver governor and the generals, and the Zheng army's forward has just entered the first line of defense, and when all the Chinese troops have entered, they can be launched", this Mu Jishi seemed to be confident.

"It's the first time for Mudusi to command such a big battle, and he is so calm, this command talent is innate," Qian Duyu praised.

"The generals have won the award, and the old man is acting according to your strategy of "three locks to resist the enemy", at most he is a firm executor, how can he have any command ability", Mu Jishi replied humbly.

"In the martial arts before, it was just fighting, killing, and competing, and suddenly having to command thousands of troops, which was really a little uncomfortable," Mu Jishi laughed at himself.

"No one is born to do this and that, once born, second mature, Du Si will soon be back to master the essentials of the army," Qian Duyu encouraged.

"What is this mountain called?" asked Twilight softly, pointing to the mountains that stretched not far behind her.

"This is the Five Peaks Mountain, the fourth peak, the fifth peak," Mu Jishi pointed to the mountain range that stretched from afar, and explained with a smile, "This is a natural barrier, so that Zheng Jun has only one way through the middle road."

At this time, a fast horse galloped from the side of the ferry, and the messenger dismounted and reported to Mu Jishi: "Report to General Mu, the vanguard of the Zheng army has approached the second line of defense, but the enemy's Chinese army has not entered the first line of defense for a long time.

"If the Chinese army does not catch up, they will have to put their vanguard in the third line of defense," said the herald of Mujishi.

The herald was given the order to go.

"General, what should we do if the Zheng Army's Chinese army is delayed in entering our preset position", Mu Jishi asked Qian Duyu with a helpless face.

"They must be waiting for some action, this ambush area, we can see it, but Zheng Jun must also be able to think about how many troops General Mu has reserved", Qian Duyu suddenly asked.

"There are still 3,000 assault troops, what instructions do the staff generals have, just give orders," Mu Zishi asked suspiciously.

"Mu Dusi, I shouldn't have interfered in the command of the army, I heard a report from Tanma on the way, there were 5,000 Zheng soldiers who disappeared when they passed through the Wufeng Mountain Pass, so I suspect that it was their light troops, climbing over Wufeng Mountain, and attacking us from behind, if I didn't guess wrong, Zheng Bing's army must be waiting for the signal that these 5,000 people arrived at the designated place, they can flank us back and forth, and hit us off guard", Qian Duyu pointed to Wufeng Mountain behind him, and said hesitantly.

"If that's the case, Zheng Jun is too cunning", "However, the cliff of Wufeng Mountain is not easy to climb", Mu Jishi glanced at Qianduyu suspiciously, and asked in disbelief.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we have to take all the possibilities into account, so the capital division will temporarily give me 1,000 troops, and I will lead it to guard the mountain pass," said Qianduyu, pointing to Wufeng Mountain not far away.

"How can the general lead the assault, you command here, and I will lead people to go", this Mu Jishi suddenly talked about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes.

"Mu Dusi, at the critical moment, this command position is yours, we must not talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, the military order is like a mountain, we all know it", Qian Duyu firmly refused.

"Then, then you bring all 3000 commandos", Mu Zishi said with a worried face, "I can't let you go to danger".

"That's also my speculation, maybe Zheng Jun didn't plan to climb over Wufeng Mountain at all, and he brought 1,000 soldiers to be prepared, but you can't lack reserves here, once the enemy crosses the third line of defense, you have to rely on this reserve to resist", Qian Duyu replied categorically.

"Don't hesitate," said Twilight with some anxious eyes.

"Divide 1,000 troops to be led by General Qianshen, and send a powerful guard to protect the safety of General Qianshen," Mu Jishi instructed the adjutant general behind him.

Mu Zishi's assault team hid in a forest not far from the tent, and in a few moments the lieutenant general came out of the dense forest with a team of archers, broadswords, pikes, and finally two groups of men and horses carrying two earthen cannons.

Twilight gave a brief explanation of the team's mission, which was to ambush, wait, and intercept enemy teams passing by in order to slow down their infiltration into the rear of our army.

The fifth peak of Wufeng Mountain was only more than five miles away from the rear camp of Mujishi, and in less than an hour, the team arrived at the designated place and laid an ambush in a bush on both sides of the biological pass of Wufeng Mountain.

Look at the peaks of these five peaks, stretching for hundreds of miles, like a camel crouching on the ground, but at the place of the fifth peak, the mountain suddenly becomes lower, and finally completely submerged in the earth, its remaining veins cross the mountain city, and suddenly come out on the other side of the mountain city, but that place is no longer called the five peaks mountain.

This fifth peak, although not high, is extremely steep, so there are not many people who climb it from here. Soon after the party was ambushed, a slight human voice was heard, and in a moment countless soldiers were seen climbing down the relatively low cliff on the south side of the fifth peak, and in a moment they were standing at the foot of the mountain.

The archers and two earthen cannons that had been prepared for a long time, the lieutenant general surnamed Li anxiously asked Qian Duyu for instructions to attack. But since there was no signal to be released, Twilight Feather didn't agree for a long time.

Two blue towed bombs rose into the air from the top of Wufeng Mountain, which was a clear signal from Zheng Jun to the Chinese army, but it was also a signal for Qianduyu to order an attack. Seeing a wave of Qianduyu's big hand, the impatient soldiers who had been waiting for a long time fired thousands of arrows at this time, and the Zheng army who rushed to the front fell down.

Two rumbling cannons rang out, and the earthen cannons bloomed among the Zheng army soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and several earthen shells also flew from the bushes to the Zheng army's .......

Zheng Jun, who had just climbed down the mountain, was caught off guard all of a sudden, and suddenly he was in a mess.

After a brief moment of confusion, the Zheng army swooped down on the bushes with his sword and gun. Another rain of arrows struck, and two more earthen cannons blossomed in the enemy group, and after knocking down a piece of corpse, about 3,000 Zheng troops rushed over.

The hand-to-hand combat, the sound of fighting and killing is endless. Twilight led a team of pikes into the middle of the line, followed ......closely by the 20-man guard.

Holding knives in both hands, Twilight Feather entered a no-man's land in the enemy formation, slashing the enemy like cutting melons, the knife was red, and the screams were deafening...... , but the guards and pikes behind him were not so lucky, and the guards of 20 men and the pikes of 200 men were quickly drowned in the enemy group.

Because the number of Mu troops was far lower than that of Zheng Jun, although there were strong opponents of Qian Duyu, Vice General Li and others, after nearly two hours of fighting, when it was getting late, there were still nearly 1,000 Zheng troops who rushed out of the ambush circle and rushed towards Mu Jishi's camp.
