Chapter 66: Autumn Dew (I)

"Boom!" At the foot of the mountain, very far away, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded, not very loud, but it made the ghosts and wolves in heaven and earth cry and stop abruptly.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" , more thunder, one after another. Blow up the ground beneath your feet and tremble slightly.

A dull yellow glow flickered, followed by an eerie scarlet. It was at least seven or eight miles away from Yang Wanzhi and the others, but it made the big and small priests, heads, village owners, and cave masters present all turn blue.

Within a radius of five miles, on the top of large and small hills, beside the bonfire, countless mountain people ran back and forth. No one knows how to deal with it, let alone how many armies are hidden behind the sudden explosion of thunder.

At the foot of the mountain, it was not thunder, but the artillery used by the Red Turban Army. In the last two years, when fighting the Red Turban Army, the mountain people have become familiar with the light and sound of the fire.

However, no red turban thief has ever concentrated so much artillery to bombard indiscriminately before the two sides have officially come into contact. Unless they have too much silver and copper coins in their hands to spend them.

In this world, there is only one red turban thief who has so much silver and copper coins in his hand that he can't spend it all, and that is the Huaiyang Zhu butcher.

Zhu Butcher was eyeing everyone, and actually took advantage of the moon worship ceremony when everyone held a moon worship, and the starry night struck!

"Everyone, don't worry, this is Bai Qiling, he won't be able to climb up for a while!" Just when everyone was stunned by the sudden sound of cannons, there was an old voice, but it quickly sounded under Yang Wanzhi's feet.

It's not high, but it's hard to say at the key point. Immediately, Yang Wanzhi of the Flying Mountain Barbarian Tusi woke up from the shock, tore his throat and repeated loudly, "Blow the horn and tell everyone to rest assured." The enemy is far away! No matter who comes, the mountains are our world! ”

"Blow the horn and tell everyone to rest assured. The enemy is far away! No matter who comes, the mountains are our world! ”

"Blow the horn and tell everyone to rest assured. The enemy is far away! No matter who comes, the mountains are our world! ”

Hundreds of soldiers opened their throats and repeated, and the low sound of horns followed suit.

"Woo woo woo ————————!"

"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo ——————!"

Like the roar of the ghost king when he wakes up, it is transmitted from one fire to another, and then from the mouths of the lords, chiefs, and priests, it is translated into military orders, and repeats them over and over again until they reach the ears of every mountain dweller.

Zhu Butcher was so mad that he actually relied on the large number of artillery in his hands to choose to fight against the Miao army in the mountains who had been relying on the mountains for generations!

Zhu Butcher is looking for death by himself! In the mountains, almost exactly the same as the hometowns of the mountain people, how can the flatland people be the opponents of everyone. You must know that when everyone can walk, they are climbing over mountains and mountains, and people on flat land have to be out of breath even if they climb a gentle slope!

Soon, the soldiers of the Miao army on the hills regained their composure. Then, under the scolding of the twine and small gongs in the team, they began to assemble around their respective leaders. And the backbone of the entire Miao army, the Zhexi Xuanfu made Yang Wanzhi more calm, and swept a few more glances at the starting point of the cannon with his hand on the pergola, and then asked loudly, "Li Caifu!" Who's stationed at the foot of the mountain over there? How many yaks do you have? ”

"King, the pimple that hit the cannon should be the station of Shimeng Tusi in the Sixteen Villages of Dongxi." Deputy Wanhu Li Caifu immediately jumped up and responded with a somewhat gloating tone, "According to my last count, there are still more than 3,000 yaks under his command, all of whom can walk on the stones like flying, and there is no problem for a while!" ”

He was born in Shanyao, and his ancestor was the eldest son of King Chiyou. But Dongximan was born of insects, and he was born ignorant and lowly. The clansmen of both sides, as long as they are close to each other, often clash. And most of the time, it was the stronger Dongxi who had the last laugh. Therefore, seeing that it was Shi Meng's camp that was bombarded first, Li Caifu was indescribably happy in his heart.

"Hmm!" Yang Wanzhi frowned, ignoring the personal grievances of his generals. In fact, it is his original way to keep the friction between different mountain people a certain degree of intensity. Otherwise, if several toasts secretly unite, his authority will be directly threatened. "Who is closest to Shi Meng, and how many yaks are under their command?"

"It should be Bada Toast and Blueface Toast. The hill where they were stationed was next to several of the hills of Shi Meng Tusi. The number of yaks under their respective commands is about two thousand! Although Li Caifu is narrow-minded, his ability is not bad. Without any delay, the precise answer was casually reported.

"Tongtai, send someone to give the order immediately!" Yang Wanzhi nodded and quickly made a decision. "Let Bada Toast and Blue-faced Toast immediately form a team, raise torches and detour to the enemy's flanks. In case of obstruction, it is up to you to decide whether to fight or withdraw! ”

"Yes!" Deputy Wanhu Yang Tongtai agreed loudly and took two arrows from his brother's own soldiers. However, he didn't move immediately, frowned and thought about it, and reminded in a low voice, "Bada and Blue Face are very treacherous, you let them decide for themselves"

"I didn't expect them to do much!" Yang Wanzhi glanced at his younger brother, and in line with the idea of cultivating talents, he explained very patiently, "The black light is blind, do you think that the soldiers and horses of the Zhu Butcher dare to kill us in one go?" Isn't he afraid that we will lay a net? It's just that there are a lot of artillery in his hands, and he wants to take the lead in taking the lead. We don't believe in this evil, and directly use the way of others to treat others! ”

"Big brother is smart!" Yang Tongtai was so impressed that he didn't ask any more. Pick up the arrow and turn around and leave.

"Wanzhutai, Land Temple, Tiger Ridge, plus a Purple Cloud Hill! Grandma's, he Zhu butcher actually thought that Lao Tzu was scared? Play this trick with Lao Tzu! Yang Wanzhi continued to look in the direction of the cannon sound, his fingers curling and stretching. Although he led his troops into the Baiqiling mountains, it was to temporarily avoid the front cherry blossoms of the Huai'an army, and then find an opportunity to cut off the grain route. But he was not unprepared for the situation where the Huai'an army took the initiative to come to the door. The large and small hills, broken walls and water sources within a radius of twenty miles under his feet were all clearly investigated by him in advance. And for the sake of convenience, every important place was renamed.

Tonight, all these preparations came in handy. Dongximan, as a peripheral defense force, is stationed in Wanzhutai. After the Wanzhu platform and then up a 500-step high hillside, it is the land temple. Laohuling is about 300 steps above the back of the Land Temple, and then climbs more than 1,200 steps to climb to his Zhongjun tent, Baiqiling Ziyun Hill.

In other words, if the Huai'an army kills him from the position where the shell is currently bursting, to his feet. It is necessary to climb at least 2,000 steps of the mountain. Even with locals leading the way, it would take more than an hour to climb the six or seven miles of hillside. And at that time, the soldiers of the Huai'an Army were already so tired that their legs were weak, how could they still have the strength to attack the Miao Army?!

Anyone with the slightest hint of common sense would do that. Unless Zhu Butcher is really a madman. And even if he is really a madman, he can really kill his feet. These thousands of cronies under his command can also defeat him if they are waiting for work!

Thinking of this, Yang Wanzhi's heart became more and more stable. first glanced at his military advisor Zhang Yu, and then loudly dispatched his troops: "Xiao Yu, Jiang Ying, Liu Zhen, Li Fu, the four of you, go back to restrain the leaders under your command, don't panic, and don't move." Rest in place and wait for the order from the Chinese army! ”

"No!" The four heavy generals whose names he named agreed in unison, and then took their own soldiers and walked to the surrounding village owners and cave masters' stations.

"Notice, talent. You two also go down and reorganize your troops, and push your men and horses into that position! Yang Wanzhi thought for a moment, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the halfway up the mountain about three or four hundred steps away under his feet. Stuck there, then rest in place and recharge. Dongxi, Blueface and Bada can only be used as miscellaneous soldiers. The yaks of Beishan, Baipi and Jiuzhai are only suitable for partial teachers. At a really critical moment, I'm afraid we still have to go up to the top of our own brothers! ”

"Yes, we understand!" Yang Wanzhi's other younger brother, Yang Zhizhi, who is absolutely close to his confidant Li Caifu, nodded vigorously. Then they took the order and went to move their teams.

"Gourd, Mengzi, and grass wolf, you guys work hard, go and give orders to the South Bank Toast, Honglin Tusi and Bird's Nest Cave Masters, let them wait for the sky to dawn, and immediately go around the direction of the White Horse River, and give me the retreat of the Zhu butcher from behind!"

"Grasshopper, Lingling, and Wild Boar, the three of you go to Lulu Toast and tell him that I have agreed to the marriage between the two families. When this battle is over, his son will be able to come to his door and marry my daughter. But tomorrow when the sun comes out, he will have to kill me in front of the Land Temple immediately. Lao Tzu is watching him here in Ziyunling! ”

"Li Hui, Yang Xuan, Huang Feng, you set up the artillery for me and aim it at the Land Temple. If the thief kills over there, he will condescendingly bomb me! ”

"Feng An, Xiliang, Qin Wuyun, you"

One after another orders came out of Yang Wanzhi's mouth, and then from the left and right cronies, they quickly crossed the mountains and mountains, and reached the hands of the leaders and village owners everywhere around.

Horns, gongs and drums, and lights, all the contact methods that can be used at night, were also quickly used by the soldiers around Yang Wanzhi, and informed the Miao soldiers stationed on the surrounding hillsides that they did not need to be overly nervous, and continued to rest in place, waiting for further command of the Chinese army.

Because they were not official officers and soldiers of the Mengyuan court, when the Miao army was formed, the command structure was completely determined by the Yang father and son. And the father and son are rare in both civil and military affairs, and they are open-minded. After referring to the models of the officials and troops in various places, they decisively rebuilt the team according to the characteristics of the mountain people.

Therefore, there are not many redundant positions in the Miao army, like regular officers and soldiers. It is simply to restrain the cave owners and village owners with the descendants of the generals, and then use the cave owners and village owners to restrain the small gongs, hemp poles and yaks under their command. Although it is sloppy, it is clear enough. Even some village owners and cave owners themselves also serve as small gongs and hemp poles! Moreover, the efficiency of the completion of military orders has been multiplied.

The hills near the Chinese army quickly settled down before the herald soldiers arrived. A little farther away on the mountain, I heard the sound of the horn coming from the Central Army, and saw the light signal showing a sense of peace, and slowly restored order, and no longer messed up because of the sound of artillery several miles away.

In a few places, the first to restore stability in the barracks took the initiative to light up the lights. Soon, other battalions around followed suit. In a short time, on the top of the mountains, the lampballs and torches were connected. It was like a galaxy falling to the ground, and in the rumbling cannon, it looked extraordinarily bright.

"Humph——!" Looking at the sea of lights around him, Yang Wanzhi shook his head with a sneer. At first, he listened to Zhang Yu's suggestion, let go of Jiande City, and moved into Baiqiling, but he may not have the intention of staying out of the matter. And since Zhu Butcher has to kill the door if he gets cheap, don't blame himself for being too ruthless.

Let's let him be proud for a few hours, and wait early tomorrow morning to see how the children and grandchildren of the Chiyou Heavenly King sweep away thousands of armies!
