A group of generals followed Wu Ming out of the camp, and immediately several generals took a breath of cold air.

What a steep mountain! The absolute height of this mountain is about three hundred zhang, two peaks are high on the left and right sides, the mountain peak is like a knife and an axe, even the Jin army can not climb to the top, can only camp in the middle of the mountainside, the two peaks are like a mold carved out, there is only a gentle place at the foot of the mountain, since the height of about ten zhang, the mountain becomes steep sharply, the two sides quickly shrink to the middle, the more up the narrower, to about 100 zhang has only half the width of the bottom. There are stone stairs in the middle of the two peaks, and the stone stairs are still running forward one step at first, but by about thirty zhang, the steps are almost overlapping. At about 60 zhang, it was impossible to climb with just the steps, and iron chains began to appear on both sides to prevent someone from falling directly from the height of 60 zhang if they leaned back.

In the middle of the two peaks is a passage that can only accommodate two horsemen in parallel, and every Han general's eyes lit up when they saw this passage. Because after this passage is behind the main force of the Jin Army, once the breakthrough is successful, the rear of the main force of the Jin Army will be completely cut off. The question is, how can I get through this channel?

"Can you get around?" Liu Anbang watched it for a long time, his neck was sore when he looked at it, and he knew that such a mountain was unbeatable, so he asked Wu Ming at the moment.

Wu Ming shook his head slowly.

To the left, they will move away from the main force, so that the Jin army can cut itself off at any time, making the left army a lone army, and moving away from the Jin army will also lead to the inability to pose a threat to the Jin army; To the right, the Jin army on this hill will threaten their flank, and they will also be combined with the middle route army, so the strategy of threatening the flank of the Jin army will be completely ineffective.

They must succeed in the breakthrough here, otherwise the entire strategy will have to be revised. The problem is that the army has already moved, and it is too late to revise the strategy. What's more, even if it is too late, it will be modified into a head-on battle with the Jin army, what advantage does the Han army have?

"What's that?" A general suddenly pointed to the mountain peak on the right and asked.

At sunset, a strange flag was fluttering, it was not the wolf head flag of the Jin Army, but a flag painted with strange animals.

The generals looked at the banner with their hands over the sun.

"It looks like a unicorn!" A general with good eyesight said.

"Could it be a different tribal flag?" Another general speculated.

"It's a different tribe, indeed." Bai Buxin suddenly spoke, "This tribe is very special, called the traitor tribe!" ”

"What?" Several people asked in unison.

"That's the banner of the Good Friendship Army!" Bai Buxin's words answered everyone's doubts.

The name of the Goodwill Army is known to all the generals, this is a troop composed of traitors, but everyone has never seen this unit, let alone what their banner looks like. If it weren't for Bai Buxin, who was responsible for interrogating the traitor Zhang Sande who was caught, Bai Buxin wouldn't know, but fortunately, Bai Buxin thought deeply, and there was no omission at all that should be asked, and there was no ambiguity at all when he should ask, so just now a general said that there was a unicorn painted on this banner, and Bai Buxin immediately remembered Zhang Sande's confession: There was a unicorn painted on the banner of the Friendship Army.

Now these two peaks, one is guarded by the banner of the Jin Army, and the other is of course guarded by the Jin Army, but it is such a banner, the only possibility is that this force is the legendary Goodwill Army.

Wu Ming couldn't think of anything to do for a while, the sun had already set, and he said at the moment: "It's getting late, go back to the headquarters, and prepare to attack early tomorrow morning!" ”

The generals returned to camp one after another.

Wu Ming stretched his waist.

He is not iron-clad, he is also a man of flesh and blood, and he is nearly fifty years old, and the rush of these days has made him more and more tired. He decided to take a good shower and rest, and tomorrow, there was still a bad battle to be fought.

A cough came from behind him: "General Wu, the last general has something to say." ”

Wu Ming stopped.

If it was another general, he would have told the general to talk about it tomorrow. But this voice he had to hear. This voice is Wei Qing's.

Wei Qing has never taken the initiative to look for him, and since he has taken the initiative to find him today, there must be something important.

Wei Qing walked to Wu Ming's side, looked at the generals who were returning to the camp in chaos, and said in a low voice, "Take a step to speak." ”

Wu Ming wondered in his heart, is there anything else to hide from the generals? He suddenly thought, could it be that Wei Qing also began to suspect that person had leaked his secret to Gu Weidong?

He involuntarily followed Wei Qing a few steps and walked away from everyone for a distance.

Wei Qing lowered his voice and said to Wu Ming: "General, have you ever thought about where this goodwill army came from? ”

"What?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he had thought about it, Wei Qing didn't think about who leaked the secret at all, but was thinking about the enemy situation.

Wei Qing repeated the question again.

Wu Ming thought about it for a while, and suddenly sighed in his heart. "Not good!" He couldn't help but blurt out exclaimed.

Fortunately, they are now some distance away from the generals, otherwise this will be an absolute chaos in the hearts of the army.

There is definitely a reason why Wu Ming is so gaffe.

The reason for this is in Wei Qing's answer to this question.

This goodwill army was originally in the rear of the Jin army, but now it has been pulled to the front, so where did they come from? The answer is: across the river.

Since they were able to cross the river, then of course the grain and grass equipment could also cross the river. In other words, although the logistics supply of the Jin army may still not be easy, at least it has recovered enough to increase its troops.

Then, if the Han army cannot win this battle, or although it wins but delays for too long, it will give the Jin army time to regroup its forces, so that the first to bear the brunt is the left Han army that has entered the rear of the Jin army, and once the left army fails, the Jin army can use the newly arrived forces to counterattack the middle Han army from the flank, but threaten the left side of the Han army in the middle road. In other words, either a quick victory, or, not only the Left Army will fail, but the entire Han Army will lose! Thinking of this terrible consequence, how could Wu Ming not lose his temper?

"We still have a chance." Wei Qing didn't expect Wu Ming to lose his temper so much, and hurriedly comforted, "The Jin army has no troops to adjust for a while, otherwise they wouldn't have transferred this most ineffective traitor army to make up the numbers." ”

Wu Ming nodded. Thinking that the large army of the Jin army was still fighting against the Kingdom of France, it could not be transferred here to support for a while. But this matter can't be gambled on, no more, as long as there is a twenty or thirty thousand Jin army mobilized to attack from behind them, and the Jin army on this mountain takes the opportunity to attack, the entire left army will be finished, at least not to threaten the main force of the Jin army.

"Tomorrow, we will attack and we must take Vermilion Bird Mountain!" Wu Ming squeezed a sentence out from between his teeth, his face distorted in the darkening sky.

Early the next morning, Wu Ming redeployed his troops. The second left team retreated behind the entire Left Route Army, and sentry outwards for fifty miles every day to prevent the Jin Army from attacking from behind with new reinforcements. The third left team is the reserve of the entire Left Route Army, Wu Ming does not plan to use the most elite troops in the entire Left Route Army to fight a war of attrition with the Jin Army, but to leave it, in case of an attack by the Jin Army, the second left team is unreliable, and the left third team must go up at the critical moment.

The 1st, 4th, and 5th armies on the left were ready to take turns attacking the mountain. Everyone knows that this strong attack will never succeed at one time, and such a steep mountain is only afraid that it will have to pay a huge price.

At the same time, Wu Ming also personally wrote two letters to the great Sima Xie Xuan and the commander of the Central Route Army, the general Zhu Wei, to report the current situation, and ordered someone to send them out in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

The horn sounded, and the left team was the first to strike. This narrow mountain road could not use a large number of soldiers at all, but two thousand men were dispatched on the left and the right to attack the two peaks.

Wu Ming followed closely behind the attacking troops on the right, and he wanted to see the situation here for himself.

The commander of the attack force on the right was General Huang An, who saw General Dingyuan coming in person, and knew that this was a great opportunity to show his ability, and shouted loudly to direct the soldiers forward.

The Han soldiers walked all the way through the gentle foot of the mountain and climbed a section of stone steps. Wu Ming followed behind the team, his heart became more and more nervous, he didn't know where the first blocking point of the traitor army was? Why is there no manpower for such a good blocking point?

As soon as the mountain road turned, a cliff stood abruptly. The Han army was already approaching that cliff. The figure on the cliff swayed, and a flag was played, and on the flag was clearly a big unicorn.

"It's the Goodwill Army!" The generals and soldiers shouted.

"Kill them all this time!" Several centurions said in unison, and everyone was red-eyed.

The aggressors are hateful, but it is even more hateful for their compatriots to openly betray the country and act as tigers. This time, these scum must not be forgiven!

General Huang Shen gave a loud order, and a team of 100 people moved forward quickly, and in a blink of an eye they had reached the cliff.

Before the Han soldiers could climb up, several large stones were suddenly thrown down from the cliff, and the first two soldiers couldn't dodge, and they were smashed and cracked. Four or five soldiers hurriedly tried to dodge, but the cliff was so steep that one could not stand and rolled down. The centurion shouted and ordered the soldiers to withdraw first.

Although General Huang Shen's eyes were looking ahead, his mind was on Wu Ming behind him, and he must take advantage of this rare opportunity to show his unparalleled combat command ability. Seeing that the mountain was so treacherous, he commanded the battle with twelve points of spirit, and when he saw that the strong attack was unsuccessful, he immediately ordered: "Prepare arrows!" ”

More than a hundred archers immediately gathered.

"Put!" At the sound of the order, the archers released their arrows one after another.

The platform on the cliff was not very large, and the mountain was narrow, so those defending soldiers had nowhere to hide, and they couldn't help but be chaotic for a while.

"Put it again!" Seeing that this plan succeeded, Huang Shen was overjoyed in his heart and urged again and again.

On the platform for a while, he called his father and mother, and those goodwill troops did not have the best armor and body protection, and they were usually just thugs of the Jin Army, but now they were suddenly faced with the attack of bows and arrows, and they had nothing to do for a while.
