After running dozens of steps, Azig suddenly grabbed the war horse, turned around and pointed to the head of the Iron Mountain City, and shouted hatefully: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, shoot them to death for me." ”

The archers, who were about to collect their troops with white flags, suddenly received the order to release their arrows, and they were immediately in a panic. After a moment of tidying up, the rain of arrows shot back at the head of Iron Mountain.

"Ugh."

Dreger sighed softly and turned his horse to meet Azig.

The fires under the city were completely burning, and the ladders were damaged.

At this time, there is no other benefit to releasing arrows except to vent anger, and it is better to simply withdraw the army and return to the camp to repair the team.

The Twelfth Master is still too young.

At the head of the city, assisting the Dongjiang soldiers to kill another dead soldier, Mao Youjun was slightly relieved to see that the fire had been ignited from under the city.

Without backup, there are only a few dead soldiers left in the city, how can they be killed.

Seeing that the golden archers were regrouping in a panic. Mao Youjun hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw, dodge the arrows, dodge the arrows first." ”

In Mao Youjun's shout, the Dongjiang sergeant quickly hid behind the door panel.

Seeing the fire rising behind him, the ladder was engulfed by tongues of fire, the backup road was cut off, and several Houjin dead soldiers no longer defended the city, and began to attack frantically before death.

It's just that before the golden dead man rushed out a few steps, the rain of arrows inlaid with white flags fell like raindrops, shooting the dead man wearing heavy armor like a hedgehog.

The dead soldier, who was already not moving quickly, became extremely heavy.

The dead man is really going to die now.

At sea, in the ship

"Mr. Mao, do you really want to do a big job?"

Hearing Mao Wenlong's plan, Shen Yourong had a shocked look on his face.

Shen Yourong really didn't expect that Mao Wenlong was not only not ready to retreat, but on the contrary, he was also ready to fight with the Tartars.

"Of course, what a great opportunity."

Mao Wenlong was in high spirits, and his eyes began to shine: "Tartar comes along the Yalu River and Shuojiang River, and there are all rugged mountain roads along the way, and the march is very inconvenient.

Although the main force of the Tartars has taken Uiju, it is still separated from Tieshan by Longchuan City.

Even if the Tartars come to help, Long Chuan can buy us at least 1 day. If we add in the time it takes to get on the road, we have 2-3 days of siege.

What's more, with the arrogant performance of the Tartars, they are likely to run to fight Guo Chuan or Dingzhou.

In that case, we would have more time.

Because the road is difficult, there are not many war horses brought by the Tartars on this road in Tieshan, as long as General Shen can help me transport the war horses, I have 7 percent certainty of victory. ”

There is still a sentence in Mao Wenlong's heart that he didn't say, that is, the tartar from Tieshan is the weakest inlaid white flag in Houjin.

"Okay, okay, since General Mao is so sure, how can the old man not help.

General Mao, where are the war horses? The old man is going to transport it to you. ”

Hearing that Mao Wenlong was so confident in the plan, Shen Yourong also had a smile on his face.

In the past, Shen Yourong had a lot of dissatisfaction with Mao Wenlong, most of which were because Mao Wenlong always lied about his military exploits.

Often killed two or three Houjin soldiers, Mao Wenlong dared to report the great victory of killing and injuring thousands of Houjin. Over the years, according to Mao Wenlong's good news that he injected too much water, the Houjin Eight Banners had already been killed by Mao Wenlong.

This kind of exaggerated success that is obviously "swimming but not attacking", but still has no discipline, is the real reason why Shen Yourong is dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong.

It is rare that Mao Wenlong is no longer "swimming but not attacking" this time, and is willing to take the initiative to launch an offensive against Houjin, and he is still very ambitious to fight a battle of annihilation. How could Shen Yourong not support it.

After a moment of thought, Shen Yourong kindly reminded Mao Wenlong: "General Mao, if you want to make such a big move, shouldn't you send a letter to Yuan Futai?" After all......"

Seeing Mao Wenlong's excited appearance, Shen Yourong believed that Mao Wenlong definitely didn't have the intention of reporting to Yuan Keli. This is another reason why Mao Wenlong is not treated well by civilian officials.

According to the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention launching a battle with tens of thousands of participants, you are launching a battle with hundreds of participants, and you must wait for Wenchen to make a decision.

If you do it without an order, then even if you win, the leading military minister will not have any good fruit to eat.

And Mao Wenlong, who was deep behind enemy lines and hung alone overseas, had never had the habit of reporting and asking for instructions due to geographical reasons.

In the past, small actions were just enough, but this time the Dongjiang Army made such a big move, if Yuan Keli was not notified, then even if Yuan Keli was generous, he would definitely not be able to stand it.

Seeing that Mao Wenlong really wanted to fight Houjin, Shen Yourong didn't want him to get into trouble with Yuan Keli to the point of incompatibility.

Hearing the kindness in Shen Yourong's words, Mao Wenlong nodded gratefully.

"Thank you General Shen for reminding me, I will arrange for someone to send the plan to Denglai urgently and report it to Yuan Futai to know.

It's just that in the current situation, if you have to wait for Yuan Futai's approval before acting, then the military aircraft will be delayed.

General Shen, are we doing it at the same time? ”

"That's fine. Where is the War Horse now? Phi Dao? ”

Looking at Mao Wenlong's eagerness to fight, Shen Yourong felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than before.

"Phi Island is not suitable for horses.

General Shen, the war horses of our Dongjiang Army are all raised in Pukou.

As long as you can bring 500 horses at a time, I will definitely be able to break through this road of Tartar in Iron Mountain. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong asked hopefully: "General Shen, our treasure ship can transport 500 horses at a time, right?" ”

"500 horses at a time? This treasure ship has never been transported. ”

Hearing the number of 500 horses, Shen Yourong frowned slightly.

"General Mao, our treasure ship used to transport grain and ordnance, and there is no problem in transporting 2,000 stones in one ship. But after all, these war horses are all living creatures, and whether they can be loaded with 500 horses, the old man is not very sure. You'll have to try. ”

Seeing Mao Wenlong's disappointed face, Shen Yourong smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Mao.

Pukou is not far from here, and at the speed of the Zhen transport ship, 2 hours is enough to run back and forth.

500 horses, one trip can't be finished, the old man runs twice. ”

Hearing Shen Yourong's words, Mao Wenlong showed a wry smile on his face.

"General Shen, this horse can't be landed for the time being, and it needs to stay on the treasure ship for a while. Only by hiding in the sea can we avoid the Tartars' probes. ”

"This, General Mao wants to ensure the suddenness of the raid on the Tartars, right? Not sure when you're ready to act? ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong's subtext, Shen Yourong's eyes flashed.

"When to raid, it depends on when the time comes.

General Shen, to tell you the truth, the safest time is, of course, after the main forces of my Dongjiang Army gather, I will go to raid the Tartars.

But if the Iron Mountain defense can create an opportunity, I don't mind a surprise attack from behind when the Tartars are at their tightest and crush them in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the centaur could not go ashore for the time being, and had to avoid the eyes and ears of the Tartars. ”

"Understood."

Nodding, a smile appeared on Shen Yourong's face.

"General Mao, you can investigate the battle situation in the direction of Iron Mountain.

At most, there will be half a day, and the old man's subordinates will be able to arrive. Coupled with the number of ships they were aboard, 500 horses would definitely be able to be transported at one time. It is impossible to mistake the use of troops by General Mao. ”

And back-up?

Mao Wenlong was really overjoyed this time.

It turned out that Shen Yourong not only brought the treasure ship, but he brought the main force of the Denglai Naval Army.

With the full help of the Denglai Naval Army, he will definitely win the battle of Tieshan.
