Chilong Mountain, located in the southeast coast of Wanning County, the mountain is not high, but the slope is large, all are volcanic rock structures, the rocks are like scales, sharp and piercing, difficult to climb. The southeast corner of the mountain extends into the sea, and the northwest side is steep and difficult to climb, except for the east side, which has a gentle slope and an intermittent rock-hewn path to the top.

At this point, the end of the gravel path has been cut off by layers of deer bars, and in the middle there is a thick fence wooden gate for entry and exit, and behind the deer barracks is a newly built camp, with tents like mushrooms in the forest. There are soldiers in armor who patrol sharply, there are soldiers who sweat like rain digging trenches and digging pits, there are craftsmen who clank and knock on armor, and there are soldiers who carry flags in and out in a hurry. The whole camp was tense and orderly, and a large banner with the word "horse" was raised high, indicating the identity of the commander of this military camp, and the passing ships were all fearful.

Ma Fuji, 10,000 households in Qiongzhou, was a fierce general who set off a bloody storm in Qiongnan five or six years ago. No matter the merchants, the natives, the customers, or the Li Fang, no one knows his murderous name. At this time, this former Song army general, and now Meng Yuan's accomplice, is sharpening his knife Huohuo, waiting for the upcoming Dragon Bird Army.

Why didn't Ma Fuji wait for work in the Wan'an Army, but instead went to this Chilong Mountain to set up camp? The reason is very simple, the Wan'an Army has no defensive rank.

Wan'an Army, built in the reign of Song Shaoding (1228-1233), more than 30 years later than the Jiyang Military City. "The vastness is less than a hundred zhang, the south opens a door, and the middle is a public house." There are dozens of Turkish military and civilian houses. That is, each side is only 25 zhang at most, and the area of the city is only more than ten acres, which is only equivalent to one-fifth of the Jiyang Military City. Because the precipitation of Wan'an is twice that of Jiyang Military City, and the city is built of earth, without bricks, it is exposed to flooding all year round, but it has been "collapsed for a long time" in decades.

The military city collapsed, and there were only dozens of people's houses. Ma Fuji led the Yuan Army's new annex army of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, so they could only do it themselves, cut down trees to build houses, and plant thorn bamboos around them, thinking that they were barriers.

For a time, the scale of Wan'an Military City had the potential to catch up with Jiyang Military City. It's just that the quantity has gone up, and the quality is far behind, at best, it can only be called Wan'an Barracks. Such a military camp, not to mention compared with Jiyang Military City, even if you find a random mountain range and build a fortress according to local conditions, it is much stronger than it.

So Ma Fuji chose Chilong Mountain, as for why he didn't choose Wanning County - in other words, even a garrison military city is broken to this point, how good can the administrative-based county be?

Ma Fuji divided half of the men and horses to guard the Wan'an military camp, and led 1,000 men and horses to build a fortress on Chilong Mountain. As soon as this was built, it immediately took the initiative strategically, so that the Dragon Bird Army that came to conquer fell into passivity.

When the smoke of the beacon wolf rose in Duzhou Mountain, the patrol soldiers of the new annex army on Chilong Mountain stopped, and the servants who built the fortress were frightened that Nangu forgot to dig the soil, and the clanging sound suddenly stopped, and the soldiers carrying the flag entered and exited more quickly......

Ma Fuji boarded the wooden bucket standing on the top of the peak and looked in the direction of wolf smoke for a while, and then returned to the camp, but instead of beating drums and gathering generals, he shouted: "Get pen, ink and paper." ”

The military office was busy taking pen, ink and paper to serve, Ma Fuji held the wolf hair, waved it, and called the guards without waiting for the ink to dry: "Paste the paper on the trunk of the tree in the most conspicuous place under the mountain, I want Zhao Hunt to see it at first sight after landing on the shore." ”

……

Three miles away from the coastline, on the heavy platform of the ship, Zhao Lie was holding a scope to observe Chilong Mountain, but he did not see Ma Fuji's ink treasure, but looked at the white background with the word "horse" embroidered with red borders.

The commanders of the other two warships, Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou, boarded the ship on a sampan respectively and discussed the next move with Zhao Lie, Shi Yang and others.

The generals' eyes were all looking at the fluttering banner. Jiang Fenglie said in a deep voice: "Ma Fuji is also a general, he acted decisively, and he actually dared to abandon the Wan'an Army and divide his troops to stand in Chilong Mountain. As soon as he nails this wedge, we have to be held back by it. It's a bad battle, and it has to be fought. ”

Ma Fuji's intention was obvious, and even Jueyuan, a monk who didn't have much tactical awareness, could see it.

If you want to capture the Wan'an army, you must first take Chilong Mountain. If you ignore it and go around the mountain, the Wan'an army will block its head, and the new annexed army on the mountain will hit the tail, and it will fall into the danger of being difficult to take care of the head and tail, and the enemy will be in danger on the back of the belly, which is really a taboo for soldiers. If the troops are sufficient, they can divide their troops to fight like a horse and a machine, one to intercept the enemy in Chilong Mountain, and the other to capture the Wan'an army. However, the Dragon Bird Army only has one-fifth of the strength of the enemy army in Wan'an, and it is far from being close to the word "sufficient". Even if the weapons are sharp, it is extremely risky to do so, let alone dedicate some of the troops to guard the ships at sea.

So there is only one last option, and the last thing any army is willing to do but has to do - attack!

Ma Fuji has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers will not exceed 500, while the Dragon Bird Army has only more than 230 soldiers. However, in an offensive and defensive battle, the attacker can only send soldiers, while the defender can use auxiliaries or even servants to defend, such as throwing a stone, pouring gold juice or something, which will invisibly double or even several times the number of troops. Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Sparrow Army would have to have at least ten times more troops, that is, more than 3,000 troops to launch an attack to have a chance of victory. Therefore, the art of war has the saying "five to attack it, ten to surround it".

There are insufficient troops, difficult terrain, and heavy defenses. It is not difficult to imagine the tragic price to be paid for the assault, and such a price is unbearable for the nascent Dragon Sparrow Army.

What to do?

"The last general can lead a strange army that is good at climbing and rope up from the southeast, which is the weak link of the horse defense." Ouyang Guanhou was born as a chivalrous man, and he was also the leader of the black crow's dark claws, and he was the best at coming and going, and he liked to use strange things, so he naturally came up with this idea.

Shi Yang disagreed: "Can you find a few good players who can climb such a cliff?" Ten? Twenty? Thirty of you, that defense is indeed weaker than the others, but there is no strong firepower, and only twenty or thirty people will not want to break through in a short time. In my opinion, using odd is risky, and it won't work in front of a veteran like Ma Fuji. ”

Jiang Fenglie glanced at Shi Yang appreciatively, he didn't expect that this former soldier also had such an insight, and said in a deep voice: "General Shi is right, this plan is not feasible, and you need to find another strategy." ”

"What else can I do, let our team go, as long as we have enough bullets, God blocks and kills God, and the devil blocks and kills demons." Since Ding Xiaoqi won Duzhou Mountain with a stick of incense, he has been full of confidence, and he has thirty-two guns in his hand, and he has the momentum I have in the world.

"Kill you!" Ding Xiaoyi stretched out his hand and knocked his younger brother on the head, "Is your team really invincible?" Take a look at Brother Zhao...... They all look at you. ”

Ding Xiaoqi peeked at it, and sure enough, Zhao Lie had a speechless expression.

Ouyang Guanhou said: "If you want to attack, you should also let our loyal team go to ......."

"You can't storm it." Ding Xiaoyi, who rarely spoke, burst out of a sentence.

As Zhao Lie's earliest team, Ding Xiaoyi, who has performed well in all previous battles, is still white, not even as good as her younger brother. Ding Xiaoqi is also a famous escort officer, and has the title of Chengjielang (from Jiupin). It's not that Zhao Lie doesn't want to be an official for Ding Xiaoyi, but as a woman, she really doesn't have this precedent and can't set this precedent. Ding Xiaoyi is also very aware of this, and has never complained, as always, fight when it is time to fight, and advise when it is time to make suggestions.

At this moment, Ding Xiaoyi strongly opposed the assault: "It is easy to cut your hands and feet by climbing this mountain rock, and the rock chips are brittle and easy to break, which is very dangerous...... No, never! ”

"So what do you say?" Ding Xiaoqi asked her sister rhetorically.

Ding Xiaoyi lowered his head and thought for a long time, but he could only shake his head.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Jiang Fenglie's calm voice sounded: "It is not advisable to attack strongly, it is not feasible to surprise soldiers, the enemy wants to force me to attack the mountain, why don't I lead the enemy down the mountain?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi pouted quickly: "How to lead?" ”

Jiang Fenglie didn't speak, only stomped on the deck with his feet.

Ouyang Guanhou reacted very quickly, and blurted out: "Good plan!" ”

Shi Yang also reacted, patted his thigh and said, "That's right, I have to go down the mountain if I change it." ”

Ding Xiaoqi still looked inexplicable: "What is a good plan?" ”

Ding Xiaoyi knocked his younger brother again: "Didn't your junior team arrest and kill anyone?" Now you will be destroyed. ”

Zhao Lie patted the guardrail: "Shi Yi insists on getting it, that's it." Ponies want to play pinching, that's fine, let's play too, see who can play whom! ”
