Chapter 212: Siege of the City (13)
In the afternoon of the next day, the original siege plan was still carried out, and not long after the afternoon, the Fengjia army arrived as scheduled and launched an attack on Yazhou City again. When the sun set, the Feng family army led by Lin Feng turned around and returned to the camp, but this time, Lin Feng turned around halfway, and with a group of personal soldiers, he turned to the direction of Mengshan.
After galloping all the way for nearly half an hour, Lin Feng was picked up by Tang Yi, who had already learned the news and was waiting on the Mengshan Trail. Mengshan Trail, a road found by people in ancient times to go to Mengshan to pick tea, has also become an important road to Mengshan Mountain after hundreds of years of deliberate repair by the Tang Empire.
The Mengshan trail is smooth from north to south, high in the north and low in the south, and is flanked by mountains and rocks of several meters to more than ten meters, with a total length of nearly 1,000 meters. From the south entrance, it goes all the way to the north, although it is not a winding mountain road, but it is also twisting and turning, and after walking for a while, you will not be able to see the scene hundreds of meters away. However, the road is relatively wide, because Mengding tea has always been used as a tribute tea of the Tang Empire, so this road is not badly repaired, side by side, enough to pass nearly ten carriages, because of the special purpose, so even if it is the original narrow place, it is deliberately chiseled to widen the road, which is not much more than the normal passage.
The entire trail is almost entirely made of rocks of various sizes to prevent the road from getting too muddy during the rainy season. Through the Mengshan Trail, even if he reached the foot of the mountain that climbed Mengshan, before that, Lin Feng had never been here, but he had only learned some relevant information from the intelligence.
At this time, I had to sigh at the prosperity of the Tang Empire, even if it was such a place that produced tribute tea, just under the foot of the mountain, there was originally a camp that could accommodate thousands of people. Recently, the Fengjia army has expanded here, and after a large area of deforestation, paving roads, and building new camps, it is enough to accommodate no less than 5,000 people at a glance.
Around the camp at this time, there are many paths that can lead to different directions, according to Tang Yi, who led the way, in those different directions, the Fengjia army has arranged a different number of garrisons, and the most important thing is that in each garrison place, there are paths that can lead to the outside of the mountain, to the back of the entrance of the Mengshan Trail.
During the introduction, Zhuge Cheng, who was sweating profusely, came out of a corner of the camp with a few generals and personal guards, greeted Lin Feng with a smile on his face, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Hou! Look at this, are you still satisfied? ”
"Haha! Mr. does things, I am a hundred rest assured! Lin Feng laughed and turned over and got off the horse, handed the reins to the soldiers on the side, turned his head slightly to look around, his eyes were full of endless bonfires, and there were all kinds of smashing and sawing sounds of craftsmen in his ears, and even groups of craftsmen shouted in unison, he couldn't help but nodded at Zhuge Cheng with satisfaction, and praised: "It is really a blessing for the Feng family army to have Mr. sitting here!" ”
"Master Hou has won the prize!" Zhuge Cheng smiled modestly and arched his hand.
"Master Hou!"
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!"
Several generals behind Zhuge Cheng saw that they finally had a chance to speak, so they rushed to clasp their fists and salute.
"Haha! General Meng has worked hard all the way! And General Bian, General Chen! All the hard work! Among the several generals, Lin Feng was the only one who could be famous, and the rest were just familiar, but they couldn't name them, and then turned his head to find the location of the Chinese army's big tent, stretched out his arm, and beckoned everyone: "Go!" Earnings talk! ”
Meng Hong, as well as his two henchmen Bian Hao and Chen Yang, were all on the front line in Fengzhou, followed Lin Feng to attack Hechi County, and ambushed and attacked the rebels in the Yunyi Valley to make meritorious achievements. And this time to send reinforcements from Hanzhong Mansion, because there was no suitable general, Lin Feng pulled Meng Hong and other generals from the Fengzhou front line here. Originally, Meng Hong was a senior general of the Feng family's army, and now he was wearing a five-pointed maple ruby red badge, and even the two henchmen were replaced with five-pointed maple badges, and their faces were even more radiant, as if the future in front of them was bright.
After entering the account, everyone took their seats, Lin Feng first asked about some daily situations and praised Meng Hong and others who came from afar, and then cut to the chase: "Mr. Zhuge , how are all the arrangements here?" The enemy will probably arrive tomorrow morning after the sun rises! ”
"Hou Ye, rest assured! The end has been arranged! Zhuge Cheng smiled slightly, replied quite confidently, and then stretched out his finger and pointed at Tang Yi and Meng Hong, and invited credit for the two: "All this depends on the guidance of General Tang and General Meng, otherwise, I am afraid it will be really difficult to complete this task by relying on myself alone!" ”
"Mr. Zhuge is polite! The two of us are just fighting recklessly, and everything is thanks to Mr. Zhuge 's strong weapons! Tang Yi hurriedly waved his hand to explain, and then Meng Hong hurriedly shook his head and smiled and shirked: "Yes, yes, what General Tang said is that everything is still the credit of Mr. Zhuge , and the two of us are just trying our best to cooperate!" ”
"Don't go back and forth! Whose credit is it, Ben Hou can't be mistaken, right? Looking at the harmony between the three of them, Lin Feng was very happy, waved his hand and joked, then smiled faintly, and changed the topic again: "I don't know much about the situation here, and I came here tonight just to have a good time." In addition, by the way, take a look at our siege weapons, ready to gather all our forces immediately after this battle and launch a fatal blow against Yazhou City! And this time, all the command is still yours! ”
"Master Hou. This.. Zhuge Cheng obviously didn't expect Lin Feng to do this, he was already about to hand over the command, he was suddenly a little at a loss, looked at Tang Yi and Meng Hong on the side, and saw that the two of them were also at a loss, and they didn't know what to say next.
"Needless to say, this matter is decided! When I came, I also took a cursory look, plus General Tang introduced it to me, and I also know that the terrain here is a bit complicated, so I won't command randomly! Lest it be self-defeating and ruin a big thing! Lin Feng smiled very modestly, and while appeasing Zhuge Cheng, he also said the appropriate reasons, which made Zhuge Cheng feel a little relieved, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement.
As for Tang Yi and Meng Hong, they didn't have any opinions on this, originally as generals, they just obeyed orders, since Lin Feng had already said so, the two naturally had no objections. What's more, during the time that the two of them followed Zhuge Cheng, they really admired Zhuge Cheng in their hearts, especially after seeing Zhuge Cheng's various new inventions, they simply admired him for being a "failure"!
Although Lin Feng still left the command to himself, Zhuge Cheng would not be so arrogant that he didn't report anything, and then, Zhuge Cheng took out the terrain map, and Tang Yi and Meng Hong introduced the plan and deployment to Lin Feng in detail, and after Lin Feng understood them one by one, and made some questions and supplements, after repeated reviews, the plan was finally finalized.
