In the midst of lightning, Yao Guangqi made a decision, he couldn't fall in love, otherwise more and more monsters would come up, and it would be even more difficult to deal with at that time.

He dodged the monster's attack, and at the same time, he lifted his breath and jumped upward, tiptoed the monster's shoulder, jumped to the rope he had just tied, and climbed out of the wooden fence with a little foot.

But before Yao Guangqi's feet hit the ground, he heard another strange cry at the bottom of the pit, and it was a common howl of many monsters, and the sound was very terrifying and harsh in the dark night.

At the same time, there was movement in the arrow tower, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the arrow tower.

There is no way to hide, what to do? Yao Guangqi was in a hurry, he quickly cut off both ends of the rope, and hid in the shadow of the arrow tower again.

Yao Guangqi completely understood at this moment why the big pit had to be made into such a strange shape as a big pit and a small one, because only this strange shape could prevent the monsters from climbing up and trap these monsters.

The Yi people came out with those sticks again, and like the previous time, they waved the sticks repeatedly below, Yao Guangqi finally understood that these sticks were not to fight these monsters, but more to let the monsters see the sticks and be afraid.

Because even if those monsters have amazing jumping power, four or five people high pits, they can't jump to the height of the wooden fence, and it is likely that these monsters have been whipped with wooden sticks since childhood, and they are afraid of wooden sticks in their memory, so once they are irritable, the Yi people will take out these wooden sticks and make a gesture to deter bullet pressure, so that the monster's emotions can be calmed down.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yao Guangqi's mind, if there was enough gunpowder, he could blow up all these monsters...... Suddenly, a plan came to his mind.

Back in the camp, Yao Guangqi told Zhang Yu what he had seen and heard, and Zhang Yu was really taken aback: "Hundreds of monsters, no wonder Guo Ying's tens of thousands of troops have been defeated." But there is one thing I don't understand, why do you have to trap monsters in a big pit at night? This doesn't make sense. Besides, why didn't they choose a more secret place, why did they choose that rocky mountain that was prone to leaks? ”

Yao Guangqi frowned and said: "The situation we have is limited, I guess it may be because of the monsters that the Yi people originally raised there, although the monsters are powerful and capable of fighting, but after all, the beast nature is difficult to tame, and it is also difficult to discipline, and there are many of them, it is difficult to restrain them, so they can only camp and start a war near the monsters that have been raised, and quickly recover the monsters after the battle." And in order to prevent the monster from escaping, I don't dare to chase after the win, because once the pursuit is made, it is likely that there will be monsters escaping, and the two we met before are probably left alone after the war. ”

Zhang Yu nodded: "Reasonable, when you say this, I also figured it out." I've been thinking about it before, Guo Ying never mentioned being pursued by enemy soldiers in the letter asking for help, I doubted whether Guo Ying was hiding the defeat, because it stands to reason that if you win the battle, you will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the Yuan army's non-pursuit is unreasonable, according to your analysis, this matter is reasonable, the other Yuan troops have no combat power, they dare not pursue, and they can't let these monsters pursue, so the enemy will not pursue at all. ”

Yao Guangqi laughed and teased: "Why don't you say it in front of Fu Youde?" ”

Zhang Yu also smiled at it: "What I learned from you, I don't want to explain it thoroughly, so as not to offend people." However, it occurred to me that if I was not sure that I could kill them head-on, I would attack them and outwit them, and I suddenly thought that we could attack them head-on, and then pretend to be defeated, and lead them into a valley and set them on fire. ”

Yao Guangqi said with a smile: "I thought so at first, but on the way back, I deliberately walked around and looked at the terrain, because I thought the same thing as you at that time." But now, although this plan is good, but there is a little loophole, I'm afraid it's difficult to be perfect, I just said, this monster is different from people, and the method of using this monster by the Yi people should have been tried and tested repeatedly. So if you really want to set up an ambush, the ambush place can't be too far from the stone mountain, I looked carefully, there is no steep valley suitable for ambush in that area, if the ambush site is too far, I'm afraid they won't chase it. ”

"So what do you say?" Zhang Yu felt reasonable, he knew that Yao Guangqi must have thought of a way.

Yao Guangqi smiled mysteriously: "You come here with your ears," and when Zhang Yu got closer, Yao Guangqi suddenly laughed: "You really think I have thought of a way to lie to you." ”

After making a little joke, Yao Guangqi became serious again: "The key now is that we must first meet with Guo Ying, and then wait for the general's reinforcements to come to converge, otherwise with our little strength, any strategy will be in vain." ”

When Yao Guangqi only went up the mountain to investigate, Zhang Yu didn't wait, he sent someone to send a letter to Fu Youde, and on the other hand, he sent someone to look for Guo Yingjun, at this moment he had already contacted Guo Ying, so Zhang Yu's 1,000 men and horses easily converged with Guo Ying's main force.

Seeing Guo Ying, the two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and then told all about what they saw and heard when they explored Stone Mountain at night.

To Yao Guangqi's surprise, Guo Ying did not show a surprised look when he listened, but after listening, he calmly said to Yao Guangqi: "Although my people did not go deep into the tiger's den like you, I also inquired about something. ”

Yao Guangqi's eyes lit up, and he heard Guo Ying say: "Although I lost both battles, I was not idle, I sent someone to inquire secretly in the local area, and finally found a person who knew the inside story, this person had often come to Wusa to go to the horse gang before, and was very familiar with the local situation. ”

Guo Ying continued, according to the businessman, no one in the local people knew the origin of these monsters, only that there were no such things in the local area a few years ago, and a few years ago, this monster suddenly appeared, and there were only a dozen of them at the beginning, and they were raised on that stone mountain.

It is said that the monster was docile during the day, but at night it was inexplicably irritable, so it had to be locked up at night.

These monsters all belong to a person named Yihe Aizhue, Yihe Aizhue is the leader of the largest Yi tribe in the local area, at the beginning, Yihe Aizhue only occasionally used these monsters to rob the caravans, because these monsters are extremely powerful, ordinary three or five people are not opponents at all, so the caravan is not an opponent at all, since then, there are fewer Han people doing business in this area.

Later, these monsters grew rapidly, more and more in number, and there was a problem, it is said that these monsters are particularly edible, a monster can top the food of three or four strong men, they robbed the caravan of the Han people in order to be able to feed these monsters, as there are more and more monsters, the food in the Yihe Eldra village cannot afford to support these monsters.

In order to feed these monsters, Yihe Ai Zhuo turned to the Mongols for help, before that, although the local Yi people in Wusa were nominally obedient to the Mongols, but in fact the Mongols could not effectively manage, and the Mongols were only symbolically appointed officials, but most of the officials had never taken office, and the local rules had not changed for thousands of years, and they were governed by the chiefs of various ethnic groups.

But since Yihe Ai Zhuo received the food of the Mongols, he really submitted to the Mongols, not only accepted the canonization of the King of Liang, but also actively connected the Yi leaders of the various villages to form an army of the Yi people, which was led by Yihe Ai Zhuo, publicly declared his allegiance to the Liang King of Yunnan, and declared before the Ming army came that he would not leave a piece of armor for the Ming army that would invade the future.

After listening to Guo Ying's story, Yao Guangqi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "The elite army you mentioned in the letter should be composed of this monster. ”

Guo Ying nodded, he had not been able to come up with a plan to break the enemy these days, and he was depressed, but at this moment, Yao Guangqi came, he had hope, and his mood was much better: "The general praised you for being resourceful and thoughtful, how about it, is there any good way this time?" ”

Yao Guangqi nodded, but did not speak, turned around and came to Guo Ying's handsome case, and pointed to the pen and paper on the table: "Can it be used?" ”

Guo Ying waved his hand generously and grinned: "Use it, use it, Lao Guo, I'm a rough person, I put those things in a pretend, but in fact, I rarely use them myself." ”

Yao Guangqi bowed his head and wrote quickly, and soon, a letter was written, and he handed it to Guo Ying, "Please send a fast horse to the general, the general will act according to the plan when he sees this letter." The rest is for us to do it first. ”

"How?" Guo Ying came to his senses and said with gusting hands: "Just say it, I've been holding it for many days, and I want to do a good job." ”

Three days later, Yao Guangqi and Guo Ying received Fu Youde's reply, the two read the letter, looked at each other and smiled, Yao Guangqi nodded, and Guo Ying clapped his hands decisively: "Do it tomorrow." ”

In the evening of the next day, the army opened fire in advance, and as soon as it was dark, Guo Ying led the men and horses out of the camp, unlike the last time when 10,000 horses attacked the enemy camp, this time Guo Ying poured out, leaving only an empty camp.

After leaving the camp, the Ming army was divided into two roads, one was led by Guo Ying himself, and secretly marched towards the Yi army camp at the foot of the stone mountain, and the other was led by Yao Guangqi.

According to the plan, the two groups of people will launch a sneak attack at the same time, so that the Yi people will not be able to care for each other. On the fourth watch, as soon as the appointed time arrived, Yao Guangqi decisively ordered: attack.

The 1,000 men and horses are all elite who are brave and good at shooting, including the Flying Feather Battalion, which has made many achievements along the way. As soon as they received the order, the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion quickly stood up and aimed at the top of the Arrow Tower with the Beiping crossbow in front of the Beiping Crossbow.

I only heard a burst of screams and screams, and the Yi people who were guarding on the roof of the building were hit by arrows one after another. Soon, there was a reaction in the arrow tower, and with a chaotic footstep, a black shadow flickered in the arrow hole on the second floor, and the door was opened, and a group of Yi soldiers rushed out.

A few Yi people just rushed out of the gate, before they could gain a firm foothold, they heard a few searches, and then looked down to see that they were hit by three arrows in the chest at the same time, and one of them was hit by six arrows in the chest, these Yi people didn't even shout, they raised their heads and fell.
