The lame man made a route, went west from Pipa Mountain, bypassed Daxue Mountain, went to Weirong City, then took Dadou Bagu, passed Qilian City, bypassed Zhangye, went to Qilian Shu along the foothills of Qilian Mountain, crossed Kongtong Mountain, bypassed Fulu City, and arrived at Jiuquan.

The whole journey is 1,300 miles.

The troops have been driving for three days, and they still haven't been able to get out of the snowy mountains, worried that the guide will lead the wrong way, Chen Mu asked again and again, and the guide said that he has been hunting here for 30 years and will never go wrong.

Chen Mu was curious and asked, what can you catch hunting on this snowy mountain?

The guide said that there are goats on the cliffs, bird eggs on the cedars, snow lotus in the crevices of the stone cliffs, and salmon in the Qingshui River.

Chen Mu praised it again and again.

Fortunately, it is summer, and although it is called a snow-capped mountain, it is actually only snowy at the top of the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like the mountain is wearing a white hat.

This white hat is said to be available all year round, and in the summer, when the snow melts partially, the water flows down the mountain, forming countless streams. The trickle also makes it convenient for the troops to drink water.

The troops marched with difficulty, the carriages and horses could not pass, and then even the carts were lost, and the soldiers continued to walk with food. The few horses, each heavily loaded, were tired and sweaty, and their muscles twitched from time to time.

Chen Mu looked left and right, fortunately there were no enemy troops here, otherwise he would have been raided and would not have been able to organize resistance at all.

Although it was hard to walk through the snowy mountains, it was safer without the enemy to stop it. When I arrived at Weirong City, I got some carts, loaded the grain on the carts again, and continued to walk northwest, but I didn't meet the enemy along the way, but this situation changed when I arrived at the Great Dou Tu Valley.

At this time, the Great Dou Ba Valley had been occupied by the enemy, and there were Sogdian eagle flags on the rocky pass of the valley, and the lame man visually observed that the enemy army was a battalion of 300 people.

If you want to cross the Great Doutugu, this battalion must be wiped out.

With Chen Mu, there was also a troop, which was the one who supported Zhang Ye.

That unit was a regiment of the 10th Division, and the commander of the lieutenant was named Wang Zhu. The food he brought was given to Lin Song. Lin Song is the captain of the First Brigade of the Eighth Division who has a meal with Chen Mu, and he also has a staff general named Wang Ting. Thinking of them, I also thought of Li Xian, the godson of the palm print of the Shangshan supervisor. The initial promise to see him again when he returned, it seemed that the promise was about to be fulfilled. And in his pocket, he still has Li Xian's money. I felt a little guilty, and I hoped that when I saw Li Xian again in the future, I would ask him to come over and promote him.

There is a premise here, Li Xian can survive this war.

Thinking of Zhang Ye, I can't help but think of that simple girl, after the last separation, Zhong Lixiang didn't know where she ran away, and she never showed up again.

"Cripple, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Chen Mu gathered the centurion and above officials in the army together, and built a sand table with soil and stones on the ground to deduce tactics.

The cripple frowned: "It's not difficult to beat this pass, it's just how to reduce the number of dead." Now that their scouts have also discovered us, all of them are on the defensive, if we want to fight head-on, we will not be able to take it without killing two or three hundred people. ”

"Two or three hundred..."Chen Mu felt that this loss was too great.

At this time, Yuan Hong said: "Isn't there a regiment of the Eighth Division behind us, on this road, let's open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers, and give them the vanguard." It's good for them to follow in our footsteps. Now that we've reached a threshold, what's the matter, they still want to eat ready-made? ”

Yuan Hong's words are petty, but they are not unreasonable.

Chen Mu didn't speak.

The lame man said: "You go, meet that guy named Wang Zhu, it's best to let him come over and discuss the attack together." ”

The cripple is the deputy general of the "Linyi Brigade", and his orders will take effect as long as they are not vetoed by Chen Mu.

Yuan Hong glanced at Chen Mu, Chen Mu nodded, Yuan Hong led a few people, rode on horses and ran to see Wang Zhu.

Soon after, Yuan Hong returned, and brought a lieutenant with him.

When Du Wei saw Chen Mu, he saluted and said, "Du Wei Wang ordered me to bring 300 people to assist the adults of the brigade school to break through the customs together." "New Lewen

Chen Mu said with a smile: "Why didn't Captain Wang come in person? ”

Du Wei smiled and said, "I don't know, anyway, he just asked me to come and listen to your command." ”

The cripple muttered in a low voice: "He didn't take our 'temporary brigade' in his eyes, we are a miscellaneous army, but they are regular troops." Don't look at people who are one level younger than you, and still look down on you. ”

Chen Mu glanced at the lame man and said in his heart: There are really a lot of bad things in the army.

A brigade of the regular army is about 3,000 people, while Chen Mu's brigade is only 1,000 people. As many as the 3rd Regiment of the 8th Division in the back. It's no wonder people look down on it.

Chen Mu doesn't care about these things. Since they sent 300 people, at least it shows that their attitude is positive, and they do not intend to take advantage of them in a dead face.

After chatting with this lieutenant for a while, I learned about the strength of his battalion, and there were thirty people with qigong, which was the most standard regular army configuration. And the soldiers under Chen Mu are definitely low-level, counting Chen Mu, there are only twenty people in the entire brigade who are equipped with qigong. However, in Chen Mu's troops, there are many masters.

"Cripple, why don't we go together?" Chen Mu said privately.

"Can you do it?" The cripple rolled his eyes: "As a brigade adult, I do everything by myself, do you want to save face?" ”

"Face up to fart." Chen Mu scolded: "I think that face speaks by strength, and as much strength as there is, there is as much face as possible." If you don't have the strength, what face do you want? I'm the first to take the lead, why am I still looked down upon? ”

"I mean, we don't want to lose face, I didn't say you." The cripple said: "I'll take Zhang Han up, you just watch it below." In addition, you should practice archery and don't waste your good fighting power. ”

"Oh yes, Tang Zhen gave me a keel bow, which is full, and it is the bow power of the eighth grade. Normally, I don't have time to practice, but today you charge, and I cover for you. ”

"You can see for sure, if the shot is crooked, whoever is hit by the arrow will die."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to shoot you in the head."

Chen Mu was not very interested in the bow because he felt that it was too difficult to aim. On the contrary, he has a lot of experience with crossbows, and he is still somewhat sure of the target within a hundred steps (one foot for the step, two feet for the step, one step is about 1.3 meters), and he does not dare to say that he has a hundred shots and a hundred hits, and seven of the ten arrows in the fixed target are still somewhat sure. After all, I had a foundation in shooting back then, and I also participated in competitions.

The Dadou Bagu Pass is actually not very high, and it doesn't look very strong, Chen Mu led his troops to garrison the enemy one stone's throw away. Chen Mu estimated that he felt the distance, and the other party couldn't shoot himself, but he could shoot the other party. But it doesn't seem interesting to shoot arrows by yourself. If the bow is broken, it may not be able to hurt a few people.

Cripple, Yuan Hong and others went to the mountains to cut down trees and make ladders, and Chen Mu stood at the bottom of the pass to practice archery.

Adjust the bow force to the maximum and pull the strong bow full, and the arm is already a little trembling.

"Bang-whoosh-" An arrow flew out.

"Woohoo!" The soldier beside him exclaimed: "This arrow of the captain is a mile (about three hundred and eighty steps). It's just that I don't know what the captain is aiming for? ”

In fact, Chen Mu aimed at the bird's nest in the tree in the distance, but the arrow was shot over, not to mention the bird's nest, it was too far away from the canopy, Chen Mu was embarrassed to say, only said to try the bow power casually. In fact, Chen Mu regretted it a little, it was better to shoot an arrow at the enemy. It seems that he still attaches too much importance to human life, and subconsciously regards the life of the enemy army as his life.

At this time, there was a commotion in the army, Chen Mu turned his head to see that the Tartar soldiers pushed the people of the Liang Dynasty to the head of the city.

The man cut off his head and threw it to the gate.

The child was strangled with a rope and hung on a flagpole.

and ripped the women*, and the enemy generals did that filthy thing at the head of the city.

This can make the morale of the Liang generals angry, and the restlessness in the army is becoming more and more serious. What are the soldiers doing to leave their homes and careers to become soldiers? Now that this is happening right in front of their eyes, the soldiers are furious, scolding, and ready to move.

Chen Mu was also very angry, but he had to hold down his position, and if he didn't have siege equipment, he would rush forward, and the loss would be unimaginable.

"Bring the ballista!" Chen Mu roared: "Put my keel bow on the crossbow frame, and I will shoot him with an arrow." ”
