Volume 4: Iron General Huo Xiaotian Chapter 91: Iron Chariot
Shangguan Zhongxin said: "Yes, what Wei Xin said is very true, let's wait until we have really seen what the 'ironclad chariot' is, and then think about how to deal with it." After all, they only have 800 soldiers in Yungu Cottage, so they shouldn't be a big threat. ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "Okay, now that the other party's general situation is rough, we can be regarded as having a better understanding." Now, let's all talk about how we're going to send troops tomorrow, right? ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "I think so, since the other party claims to have some 'ironclad chariot', then we simply fight poison with poison." I'll just order 3,000 ironclad cavalry, I'll see how he responds, and we'll crush and attack like a sea of mountains. ”
Lu Weixin said: "Yes, according to the convention, our three thousand ironclad cavalry is enough." In addition, I want to organize a separate team of capable people, led by our four brothers, and when necessary, directly give him a thief to capture the king first, and then capture that Huo Xiao Tiansheng. ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "Of course, according to my father's intentions, it is best for us not to use force." In this way, let's salute first and then soldiers, and at that time, we will first ask Wei Xin and Pearson to worship the mountain first, and strive to deal with the affairs of the Gu Luo Kingdom Mission peacefully. As for our brigade, let's not directly press the border with large troops, so as not to cause obvious resistance from others, thinking that our Qi Wangfu is overwhelming people with power. ”
Lu Weixin said: "Well, I think it's completely okay." Early tomorrow morning, my third brother and I will take the first step and go directly to worship the mountain in accordance with the etiquette on the rivers and lakes to test the other party's true attitude. ”
Shangguan Zhongxin said: "Then the fourth brother and I will wait for you to set off for an hour before sending troops, and after we arrive nearby, we are not in a hurry to Chen Bingyungu Mountain." I remember that in that place, I still wanted to have a military town in our Qibei County, and we would wait for your news there first. ”
Chen Tianshi said: "When the time comes, the capable people brought by me and the second brother will first blend in with those businessmen who come and go, and each will find a place to hide and act at that time." ”
Du Leng was even more straightforward, and nodded slightly, which was in response to Chen Tianshi's words.
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "This is very good, it is still the same sentence, we will not only prepare for tomorrow's things with both hands, but also take two steps." We must not simply mix up the two things, and everything is based on the affairs of the Gu Luo Kingdom mission in front of us, and we can also be prepared to make certain concessions and sacrifices when necessary. ”
Lu Weixin said: "Fourth master, don't worry, I know my subordinates." ”
Shangguan Zhongxin said: "We don't need to worry too much about it, it's a big deal, tomorrow I will directly make a temporary posture of changing guards, and I will definitely not let them feel any sense of the pressure of the soldiers." Anyway, it's a very common thing for us to change guards in military towns in various places. ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "In that case, then let's get here here today, and everyone will prepare after they go back." ”
In other words, early in the morning of the third day, Lu Weixin and Liu Peisheng really came to the foot of Yungu Mountain early.
At this time, look at this Yungu Mountain, a good place for soldiers.
The whole Yungu Mountain is roughly in an east-west trend, with a total of nine mountains, stretching for forty or fifty miles. The third hill from the east is particularly prominent, and it is a steep and unusually steep mountain, with a majestic and majestic mountain formation.
The most remarkable thing is that when the third mountain is halfway up the mountain, it suddenly has three cliffs and cliffs, straight up and down, and it is a full height of 1780 meters.
Only the sunny side of the south side is slightly better, but at least there is a slope of seventy or eighty degrees, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up and down.
From a distance, on the steep slope to the south, there seems to be an artificially dug zigzag path up the mountain. There seem to be two iron chains next to it, which should be used to protect people from accidents that happen to those who go up the mountain.
In this way, this should be the only way up the mountain here, and the other three cliffs are absolutely difficult to climb and down.
However, it is very strange that despite the abruptness and danger of this third mountain, at the top of it, it seems to have a large open and flat space.
Although, from a distance, it is not clear what kind of large-scale buildings are on it. However, just by the colorful flags on it and hunting in the wind, you can guess that the situation above is by no means ordinary.
In particular, in the southeast of the top of the mountain, there is a colorful flag, embroidered with four big characters, no need to ask, it should be "Yungu cottage".
In addition, on top of the other eight hills, there seem to be some scattered walled villages. However, compared to the situation on the third mountain, the others can only be dwarfed, and they are simply insignificant.
At this time, looking at the periphery of the entire Yungu Mountain, all the nine mountains were surrounded by bluestone walls more than one zhang high, enclosed from the periphery. Only the south direction of the first hill remains, there is a so-called pass, and there is a two-and-a-half-story bluestone watchtower on each side.
Not only are there guards standing guard on the watchtowers on both sides, but there are also a few sturdy men with red turbans walking back and forth at the pass below.
Not only that, but there was a very deep trench outside the pass. I saw that it circled from the northeast direction of the first hill, and continued along this pass, extending to the northwest.
And at the location of that pass, there is also a suspension bridge pulled up high, it is estimated that Lu Weixin and they came early today, and this suspension bridge has not been put down.
Even so, less than two or three hundred meters south of this pass, on a large flat clearing, many small traders had gathered one after another.
In this large area of open space, there are two or three ordinary village sizes, no need to ask, this must be the so-called merchant distribution center in Yungu Mountain.
At this moment, Liu Peisheng, who stopped next to this distribution center from afar, said in a low voice: "I said big brother, this Yungu cottage is really magnificent, this is a trench suspension bridge, and a wall pass, dare to love, they really think of themselves as what they are doing to establish themselves as kings and countries within a country!" ”
Lu Weixin said: "This is secondary, let's leave it aside now, what is the actual combat effectiveness of their Yungu Cottage." Just this Yungu Mountain Ninth Company Battalion of the People's Republic of China is probably worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The most commendable thing is that this Huo Xiaotian of the family can be in charge of such a cottage at a young age, which is enough to prove that this person is by no means easy to match. ”
Liu Peisheng said: "Yes, what the eldest brother said is very true, so it seems that our brothers really have to be extra careful on this errand." ”
Lu Weixin said: "Yes, we really have to cheer up on this trip today, and we can't be sloppy at all." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly continued: "It's not a secret, as early as when our Celestial Empire was first decided, I really followed our Qi prince to this Yungu Cottage, but the situation at that time was definitely not the situation it is today. From this point of view, the Huo Xiaotian we are facing today may really be an 'iron general' who is a one-man man! ”
At this moment, at the position of the pass in front, a man holding a colorful flag suddenly stood on the east watchtower, and I saw him wave the flag in his hand several times in a row.
Immediately afterwards, the suspension bridge that was high above clattered down, and some people who looked like villagers came out of it one after another.
At the same time, in the open space here, those businessmen who arrived early also began to get busy in an instant. All of a sudden, the originally quiet crowd began to be noisy and lively.
Lu Weixin looked at it and said with a faint smile: "Come on, third child." Since our brothers are here, then don't stick to the pestle in it anymore, let's hurry in and ask to see the master of Huo Dazhai. ”
Liu Peisheng said: "Yes, let's hurry up, maybe our brothers can catch up with a 'good market' in the morning." The joy of the lord of Huo Dazhai may really be on the face of our Qi Wangfu, and he will return those envoys and tributes of the ancient Luo Kingdom to us happily. ”
