Yang Ling ascended to the high point of the platform, two rows of personal soldiers with Pu Dao lined up in front of the stage, facing the soldiers of each department, the bright and dangling Pu Dao was carried on the shoulder, the blade was upward, as if it would be slashed out at any time, with their fierce body shape and cold expression, it was daunting.

Although he didn't read much, this oath was written in advance by the staff, and the words were written in advance, and the generosity of the words made a group of civil and military officials enthusiastic.

The content of the speech was nothing more than to praise the Sichuan army for its good fighting, and all those present were elites in the army, and then talk about military superiority and confidence in victory, and finally led the crowd to chant the slogan 'The national thief is not broken, and he does not dare to return defeated', and the speech ended successfully.

The wind on the platform was blowing, and Yang Ling's cloak was blown with the sound of hunting. After Li Sen finished speaking, he took off his cloak and handed it to the captain on the side, and then took a step forward, Li Sen stepped back to the side, and the eyes of all the officers and soldiers were focused on Yang Ling.

Yang Ling raised his anger and said loudly: "The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations!" ”

Although his voice was loud, it could only be heard clearly within a radius of dozens of zhang, but each department in the army had its own heralds, who could convey his words, Yang Ling paused for a moment, and then continued: "On this expedition, the commander has ordered the three armies, and the following seven prohibitions must not be violated, and those who violate them will not be punished." ”

"1. Those who surrender to the enemy, behead!"

"Second, those who set up for the enemy's escapees, behead!"

"3. Those who accept bribes from the enemy, behead!"

"Fourth, those who leak military planes, behead!"

"Five, those who escape, behead!"

"Sixth, those who don't listen to orders, behead!"

"Seventh, those who fear the enemy and avoid war, slash!"

Seven must-kill orders, Yang Ling paused for a moment every time he said a word, and let the herald pass the military orders in turn, and the army that was originally shouting slogans was like a pool of still water.

Who is this guy who is speaking? Heavenly Killer Star Yang cut off his head, and he cut off more than 1,000 heads with an order, including the second-rank members of the imperial court, he said that killing people was absolutely unambiguous. More than 200 snow swords in front of him added a bit of murderous aura to Yang Ling's words, no matter the generals and soldiers, everyone was awe-inspiring when they heard these seven killing orders.

Yang Ling finally raised his breath and shouted: "The officers and soldiers of all armies should fight bravely to kill the enemy, and those who do not violate these seven prohibitions will not be restrained." This official hereby wishes all the soldiers a victory and success! At the time of triumph, the official should set up a banquet and set up wine to wash the dust and celebrate the achievements of all the soldiers! ”

Those who do not violate the seven prohibitions will not be restricted!

How could these veterans not hear Yang Ling's words, they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere that had just been frightened, everyone regarded military discipline as a tiger, and at this time they understood it, and suddenly everyone became a tiger.

Yang Ling swept his eyes around and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Under the guidance of the flag, groups of soldiers began to march separately, leaving the school field and heading for the battlefield. Staff General Li Ze's department attacked Rong County, staff general Lin Yingyuan's department attacked from Mangkou, guerrilla general Cui Gui's department attacked from Li Ziguan, commanded Jiao Hong to lead his troops to attack from the ferry shop, and garrisoned Jin Guoying to attack from the Golden Goose Pond, and the smoke of war ignited at the same time in Xuzhou counties. In the face of the Ming army's superior troops, equipment and powerful offensive, they all climbed high and relied on danger, and stubbornly resisted with simple standard crossbow stones.

However, there was a huge disparity in strength between each other, and the Ming army was abnormal, becoming high-spirited and extremely brave, especially keen on tackling tough challenges, and finally tasted the power of the court officers and soldiers.

The Ming army was like a mountain eagle that saw a rabbit, chasing and fighting, and followed closely. Different from the past, the Ming army was not familiar with the secret roads in the mountains, although the army was like a snake, echoing back and forth, or often led by the Duzhang barbarians to a fork in the road, a dead end, in the mountains for a long time can not go out, and take advantage of this effort, the Duzhang barbarians have long been nowhere to be seen, and they caught and sought in the mountains, and even haunted their back road, or appeared in the cottage that had already been broken by them.

However, this time, it was difficult for the Ming army to be led to a fork in the road and a dead end by them, and the chance of being ambushed was greatly reduced, and the channels through which the barbarians could get the news had already been blocked.

Some of the thieves who joined them had heard of the magical legend that Yang Ling had summoned the wind and waves to destroy the Japanese in Qiantang and called the east wind to eliminate the eunuchs in Longshan. The attack was the most terrifying, and the resistance in many places weakened a lot, and they often abandoned the village and fled to the mountains after a slight attack.

In just five days, the convenient reports everywhere were frequently spread, and the Ming armies in various counties continued to achieve victories, capturing more than 100 cottages such as Longbei, Leopard's Tail, and Tonggu Pond, beheading more than 2,400 people, capturing more than 400 people, and capturing more than 700 rice warehouses, 63 copper drums, and a large number of cattle, horses, pigs and sheep.

In the past, the Ming army captured the cottage, because of the heavy casualties during the attack on the mountain, in order to vent their anger, the cottage was often burned down. Those simple thatched huts and fences were all wooden structures, easy to erect and easier to burn, but this time the Ming army was unusual, did not set fire to vent their anger, but built blockhouses and stone walls at the dangerous places of the occupied cottages, and marched into the camp step by step.

Moreover, wherever the stubborn resistance was captured, soldiers and horses were stationed, officials were arranged, and at the same time the displaced people of various ethnic groups were moved to implement the tuntian, and all the ownerless fields where the families rebelled in the mountains were distributed.

As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there are no males and females in the killing array, and when it comes to the time of the soldiers, if they are still kind-hearted and soft-faced, they are undoubtedly digging their own graves. The new officials, who had been instructed in detail by Yan Gaocai, resolutely suppressed the new officials who had destroyed the emigration and the construction of a new village organizer at this time, and exchanged the temporary chaos for long-term peace and stability.

These landless homeless people, tenants who moved in, and those who used to work in the landlord's Haoqiang's house, and who rushed to work in the government's recruitment, each family got more than 10 acres of fertile land for nothing, and became a propertied class overnight, and they were all very happy, not only did they stay in the local area with all their hearts, but also took the initiative to establish a civil defense and people's strength, assisted the officials and soldiers in searching for traitors, and stabilized the place.

At the same time, Yang Ling did not send the wolf army sent by the six clans to the battlefield, but only specially assisted the officers and soldiers to patrol the various cottages that had been conquered, clear out the remaining rebels, and stabilize the situation as soon as possible. In this way, the space for the barbarians to move and fight is getting smaller and smaller, and they can only retreat step by step and begin to concentrate on a few fortresses.

At the same time, however, the new local officials treated the barbarians who were obedient and close to them with great kindness, and their personal property and land were completely protected, and no one was allowed to bully and seize them, and they did not stop the government from escaping, but consciously used the mouths of these people to spread the government's policy of preferential treatment to those who came to surrender on their own initiative.

One after another, sure enough, there are some people who are afraid of the dead, and those who love the family are trembling, and they are trying to sneak out of the mountains to surrender to the government, and these newly opened village officials are really generous and fulfill their promises, although there are not many people who surrender, but the surrenderers are endless, and there are people who escape from the mountains every day.

Yan Gaocai also took into account that there might be spies deliberately released by the barbarians among these people, and under the control of the local officials and the people, they could not get any useful real information from the military, but instead heard a lot of mysterious and even contradictory news, if there were really spies among them, I am afraid that the news would spread back to the mountain, which would only make the barbarians even more confused.

The imperial court appeased those who were favored and severely cracked down on the rebellion, which greatly weakened the combat power of the barbarians, and it took more than half a month for only a few of the most dangerous cottages left in the places controlled by the barbarians, and all the other territories had fallen into the hands of the imperial army.

In the Xuzhou camp, small red flags were planted all over the mountains and valleys on the sand table, and although the remaining green flags were the least numerous, they were all planted at the highest.

Yang Ling pointed to the green flags and said: "The remaining cottages are less than one percent of the captured cottages, but these are also the largest and most difficult cottages, with dense mountains and forests, and natural dangers and difficult to walk, which can be described as the most in China." Whether or not Xuzhou can succeed in suppressing bandits and counterinsurgency depends on whether these places can be taken, otherwise it will fall short in the end. ”。

Zhu Rangjin said worriedly: "Lord Qincha, according to the barbarians, they have been frustrated again and again, and they should be escorted out to think that Brother Wang is a hostage, but our army has attacked Lian Ke, and the barbarians only know how to retreat and resist, and they never mention the matter of Brother Wang's detention, will Brother Wang have already been."

Yang Ling muttered: "The second prince doesn't have to worry too much, didn't the captured barbarians all confess that the prince was imprisoned in Nine Silk City?" There has never been news of the murder of the son, and in the opinion of this official, it must be Ah Da who thinks that the sky is dangerous and our army will definitely not be able to attack, so he disdains to use the son of the world as a hostage to block our offensive, but wants to defeat our army in the battle array, so that our army will no longer dare to speak of war."

Zhu Rangjin opened his mouth, and finally sighed deeply, he knew that this was Yang Ling's excuse to comfort, with the victory of the Ming army, the barbarians only knew how to resist to the death, but they didn't mention the matter of coercing the prince, even if the barbarians were simple-minded and lacked scheming, but since they were able to put forward many conditions to the king of Shu with the prince before, how could they not think of blocking the Ming army in front of the battle now? It seems that they have misestimated the sanity of the barbarians, and the prince Zhu Rangxu has been killed by the barbarians, but everyone knows this matter, and no one wants to pierce this layer of window paper.

Feng Shenzheng was afraid that the second prince would be sad, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Lord Yang, the remaining cottages are easy to defend and difficult to attack, across the Tonggu Ridge in front of our army, the four walls are steep, and the distance of hundreds of meters in front of the mountain gate is just a sheep intestine trail opened up in the valley, and the barbarians only need dozens of people to build on the stones, which is enough to resist millions of soldiers and horses, which is really difficult to attack."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Although Tongguling is dangerous, but in the past, the imperial army attacked the mountain and was repeatedly frustrated, and it was difficult to advance an inch, in fact, it fell into a misunderstanding, and it was difficult to introspect when it was in a daze, otherwise why would it be difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops to advance an inch?" ”

Zhu Rangjin was also aroused by curiosity, and couldn't help but ask: "What? After this natural danger has been depicted and repaired by the captive, the simulated scenery on the sand table has been very realistic, and it has been seen four or five times under it, it is really difficult to break. ”

Yang Ling walked to the sand table, pointed to a key pass and said: "Second Prince, Lord Feng, you see, this is Tonggu Ridge, three cliffs and cliffs, difficult to climb, there is only this rugged mountain road up the mountain, and the thieves have several bunkers built on the mountain, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack." My mistake is: why do we have to take these bunkers? ”

Yang Ling pointed out: "These bunkers are all built on top of mountain hazards, and they are not in charge. It is difficult for our army to pass, but if we select some of the elite soldiers with strong skills, we can avoid these bunkers, and the light soldiers will go deep and go straight to the lair, so why fight with them in the mountain pass for the victory of a fort and a card?

You must know that these pillboxes are built in danger, high above, and conducive to guarding the passes, but they are not conducive to the barbarians sending troops to attack before and after, and there are not many soldiers in these pillboxes, and those who want to attack us in front and back cannot do it in terms of troops. ”

Zhu Rangjin took a breath of cold air and said: "My lord, this plan is too risky, the light cavalry is deep, even if you avoid these key passes, you will not be able to capture the cottage behind, and then there will be these pillboxes to obstruct the passage of heavy troops, and those who go deep in the light army will be annihilated by the barbarian army counterattack without backup."

Yang Ling praised: "That's right, with a light army, it is impossible to capture the cottage, so the official light cavalry is deep, attacking the cottage is fake, and blocking the reinforcements of the cottage is true." There are several dangerous forts on the mountain, which we cannot break from the outside, but from both sides of the cottage, we can climb straight up.

At the top of the mountain, the bunkers facing the bottom of the mountain lose their barrier effect, and the number of light troops who rush through should not be under the barbarian army in the bunkers, and these bunkers are taken down, and the heavy brigade can pass calmly, and then it will be easy to take the cottage. ”

Yang Ling's "return to the horse gun" listened to Feng Shenzheng and Zhu Rangjin were stunned, Feng Shenzheng said: "My lord, no matter how brave our army is, the number of light soldiers who rush through is extremely limited, and there are not so many people in front of the gate of the village, and it is impossible to pull the heavy artillery in, at this time, we have to divide the troops to go up the mountain and counterattack the bunker, how can the barbarians in the cottage not fight back?" How did the intruding light soldiers stop the barbarians in the cottage from counterattacking, and hold out until the pillbox was conquered and the officers and soldiers of the brigade came to help? ”

"Fighting with knives and guns, naturally invincible", Yang Ling said lightly.

Zhu Rangjin's eyes flashed, and he said, "My lord, I think there must be another weapon to defeat the enemy?" ”

Yang Ling smiled and said: "When this official dealt with the rebellious Dongchang Fanzi, he once used a rocket improved according to the army's 'Hundred Tigers Rushing Arrows', which can be carried by a single person, with amazing lethality, and can defeat one enemy in a short period of time. I have already informed the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau to rush to build them at night, and at the same time, I have also rushed to produce firearms with the surname of thistle terrestris, swarm bee cannons, large honeycombs, wind and dust cannons, and other firearms with the surname of blocking and shielding, which are enough to stop the reinforcements rushing out of the Tongguling Village."

Zhu Rangjin suddenly said: "My lord, it was this batch of firearms that was transported out of the camp before, right?" No wonder the escort is cautious."

Yang Ling bowed his head and said: "Exactly, this batch of firearms was transported to Li Sen's camp, Tongguling, and I will ask this commander to personally command and seize it."

Zhu Rangjin said happily: "The terrain of Yuwang Mountain is similar to Tongguling, so don't adults have to use the same strategy?" ”

Yang Ling shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It's the same." Although there is only a slight difference between this Yuwang Mountain and Tongguling, the firearms used to attack Tongguling are not used. You see, Yuwang Mountain is steep on all sides, standing like a city, there is no road around the mountain, only the west pass and the flag planting mountain have a pass road to go up, the mountainside of the main peak of the black hat is halfway up to build a stone village, this village is built around the mountain, the boulder is the wall, the height is not more than zhang, the size of the city is about 100 acres, there is a big village gate, a small village gate. The front of the gate is wide, and the huge stone walls on both sides stretch for hundreds of meters. If the army were to attack under this wall, it would not be difficult to break through the city.

The most difficult place of this mountain is not in front of the village, and the sheep intestine trail that leads to the cottage is more than 100 zhang, and the narrowest place only allows one car to pass through. And next to it is a hundred-zhang cliff, above the cliff is a dense forest, the barbarians cover in the forest, throwing rolling wood and stones, the official is to use 100,000 troops to pile up, and can not cross this hundred-zhang long road of death. ”

The officials nodded again and again, thinking that the Ming army had repeatedly failed in the battle against the barbarians, not because the barbarians were extremely brave, but because their location was extremely dangerous, and it was really beyond the power of manpower to fight.

Yang Ling continued: "These cliffs are flat and high, they can't be climbed, arrows can't be shot, barbarians hide on them, if they kill 100,000 of my soldiers and lose 100 of their own people, I'm afraid they will all die of exhaustion, and none of them will be killed by us." This mountain is dangerous in this place, if there are no barbarians to set up an ambush in the cliffs and dense forests of this mountain road, the so-called dangerous and unassailable Yuwang Mountain can be broken with a snap of a finger.

It's just that the stone village is built between the mountains, even if the light troops are sent to attack the city, the left and right are still a cliff, and it is impossible to climb up, so the 'back horse gun' to deal with Tongguling is not used here. ”

Several other officials looked at each other when they heard this, and from Yang Ling's tone, it was obvious that he already had a way to deal with it, but he didn't sell it at this level, and these civil and military officials present just couldn't think of how to solve the cliffs around them, which were difficult to reach with bows and arrows, and difficult to climb with spirit apes, to deal with the barbarians hiding in the dense forest on the top of the mountain.

Governor Feng couldn't help but ask, "How are you going to break this natural danger?" ”

Yang Ling took a breath and said lightly: "Everything is ready, only the 'east wind' is owed." The official is also waiting, this 'east wind' should also arrive."

The 'east wind' has arrived.

Named after Qincha Yang Ling, the Dongfeng two-stage carrier rocket produced by the Fujian Ordnance Bureau has arrived.

In the naval battle of suppressing the Japanese, there were generals of the Ming army who suggested the use of firearms such as "fire dragon out of the water", but although this firearm flew far away, the thrust generated by the burning of gunpowder was unbalanced, and the direction was too poor, especially the wind direction and wind speed at sea were uncertain, and the fire dragon could only be resigned to fate as soon as it was released, and the practical effect was limited, so Yang Ling did not participate.

However, he was very interested in this primitive two-stage rocket, although it was not the same as the multi-stage launch vehicles and anti-ship missiles of later generations, but the Chinese in the Ming Dynasty could boldly imagine and design this weapon, and he felt that this imaginative spirit was more valuable, so he retained the Ordnance Bureau's design research on this firearm.

The 'Fire Dragon Out of the Water' is an amphibious rocket made of a thin five-foot-long bamboo tube with a wooden dragon head in front and a wooden dragon tail in the back. The dragon is equipped with several rockets, and the lead leads out of the hole under the dragon's head. There are a total of 4 bazookas under the dragon's body, and it looks like a flying dragon with four wings.

The two sets of rocket leads in front and back of the fire dragon are kinked together. The bottom of the front rocket cartridge is connected to the lead from the dragon's head. When fired, the four powder cartridges in the lower part of the dragon's body are lit to propel the dragon forward. After the powder cartridge is burned, the rocket inside the dragon's body ignites and flies out, shooting at the enemy. This kind of rocket has applied the principle of parallel and series connection of rockets. Horizontal flights can reach a distance of three or four miles.

In addition, there are 'Divine Fire Flying Crow', 'Flying Sky Shaking Thunder' and other long-range attack firearms, the Divine Fire Flying Crow has a bird head, a bird tail, and bird wings, which can fly hundreds of feet, and is loaded with explosives, and four rockets are also bundled under the abdomen as a booster. Most of these firearms do not yet have the capability to deliver accurate strikes against human bodies and stationary targets.

Like the "fire dragon out of the water" vivid dragon head, dragon body, dragon tail, originally more decorative surname, in fact, will affect the direction of the rocket's propulsion and produce greater resistance, "fire crow" bird wings although it is to enhance the flight stability of the surname, but the shape is also similar to the real bird wings, not only to make it time-consuming, but in order to pursue the likeness, the stability of the surname is not very good.

When Yang Ling was supervising the development of the Franc machine gun in the Ordnance Bureau, he saw these firearms, and according to his request, he canceled all kinds of fancy names for these firearms, and named the Dongfeng No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 rockets according to the range and main role of different firearms.

At the same time, he asked Zheng Lao, a firearms expert, to transform some flashy decorative parts of the surname. 'Fire Dragon Out of the Water', now Dongfeng No. 1, is streamlined as a whole and has the longest range. Originally, in order to pursue beauty, the dragon's belly can only install four arrowheads, now it has increased to seven, and the effect has been changed from killing to arson, the arrow is wrapped in gunpowder, wrapped in layers of cotton paper, and then greased, and the strong wind does not extinguish when ignited, and the water is not extinguished.

Dongfeng No. 2, which was transformed from the 'Divine Fire Crow', is still pot-bellied, like a space shuttle, and the bird's wings are still similar, but the original sticky feathers have been removed, and they have become flat like paper. The belly of the bird is filled with flammable and smoke-burning materials, mixed with arsenic, phosphorus and other things that tend to emit a burning smell.

The fireworks in the dense forest on the top of the mountain are difficult to disperse, this kind of thing burns in it and releases a large amount of poisonous smoke, coupled with the rockets like monkeys scurrying around, in the primeval mountain forest with dead leaves like mud and a few feet thick, the guerrilla general Cui Gui stood in front of Yuwang Mountain, looking at the mountain shape that was still dark and heavy under the moonlight and standing like a giant for a long time, nodded and said: "Very good, most of the mountains here are as steep as mirrors, rising from the ground, although it is extremely dangerous, but it is convenient to set fire, there are these hundred and ten zhang cliffs below, no matter how fierce the fire is, it is difficult to harm the rest of the mountains." Otherwise, it's a nuisance. ”

"Let's get started!"

In the night, rockets spewed light and swooped down on the dark mountaintops. After a while, a dark cloud floated from the top of the mountain, and the 'dark cloud' gathered more and more, and finally obscured the moon like a hook.

Half an hour later, the night sky was red, the flames were burning the sky, looking at the situation from a distance, the top of the mountain did not say that the Tibetans, even the stones were melted, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they did not want to find a hiding place.

The firelight reflects the bottom of the mountain is also bright, I believe that if you get to the front of the mountain, I am afraid that it will be as bright as day.

"My lord, why do you have to attack at night?" After all, it's been three watches, and the fireworks have been watched for a long time, and the deputy general Pan Dong yawned and asked a little boringly.

Cui Gui, who had a pockmarked face, smiled and said: "Brother, you don't understand this, the moon is dark and the night is killing, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire, this is like looking for Sister Yao, like our identity, we have to pay attention to a tune, right?" ”

He tightened his robe and shouted, "Brothers, attack the mountain!" ”

"Kill!" The soldiers shouted, under the light of the largest torch in history, the army went to the stone village in a grand manner, Lingxiao Mountain was built in the late Southern Song Dynasty, Baoyou Yimao year (1225), the Yuan army first took Yunnan, and then turned to attack Sichuan. In order to resist the Yuan Dynasty and enter Sichuan, the Song army of Rong County built castles in steep places in various places, and stored grain for the troops to attack and defend the base place, so they built Lingxiao City on Lingxiao Mountain.

Lingxiao City, Hechuan Diaoyu City, Leshan Lingyun City, and Yibin Donggao City were all important castles of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty at that time. Later, because of the surrender of Leshan and Yibin guards, Lingxiao City was breached.

After the periphery was basically cleared, Song Xiaoai and Wu Hanchao led the wolf soldiers to quietly arrive at Lingxiao Mountain. At this time, the task of clearing and suppressing in various places has basically come to an end, and the men and horses have begun to assemble in Tongluoling, Duduzhai, Lingxiaocheng and other places.

Wu Hanchao personally led the wolf soldiers who were good at rock climbing and mountaineering to continuously sneak into the mountains to explore the situation near Lingxiao City, while waiting for Yang Ling to reinforce Lingxiao Mountain.

The peaks of Lingxiao Mountain are rising, and they are about to take over the sky. There are only two sheep intestine dangerous roads on the way up the mountain, one leads to the new village gate by the "broken neck rock", and the other is circled up to the old village gate by the "Longbei Dam" through 48 turns.

There is a fracture at the junction between the "Broken Neck Rock" and the back soil mountain, which is more than 7 meters wide. There is a wooden bridge on it, pedestrians pass through the bridge, look down at the bottom of the seam, unfathomable, make people tremble, and their hands and feet are weak. There is a soldier here, which is really sad for the gods. The old village gate in front is fortified layer by layer, and the danger is everywhere, and the possibility of a hard attack is very small.

The guard here is the brother of the chief of Ah Da, this man is infinite, brave and less wise, the surname is cruel, this time before the public rebellion, he often led people down the mountain to harass, robbed property, annihilated silver women, and was called the evil duck. Because of his misfortune, most of the people in the vicinity have fled in recent years, and the ten rooms and nine empty rooms are very desolate.

But his Lingxiao City is really unattainable, and the forty-eight turns are like a moat, making people helpless. Song Xiaoai and Wu Hanchao deliberately only sent a small force of troops to attack with a tentative surname, and they were beaten back several times in a row, and the two were not in a hurry.

This day, after all kinds of preparations, Song Xiaoai is finally ready to start. This period of saying that Wu Hanchao and Wu Hanchao get along day and night, leading the troops together, the two seem to have returned to the old days of fighting against the Japanese in Jiangnan, although Wu's father obstructed, it has always been a heart disease between the two, but on the surface, the two avoided talking about it, and it seemed that they had completely restored their intimacy.

Wu Hanchao led more than 300 carefully selected wolf soldiers, each of whom was dressed in tatters, clothed and animal skins, like all barbarians, and pretended to be men and women, old and young, with different identities, and their blades were hidden in the dark.

To take Lingxiao City, the back mountain can not be attacked, the road in front of the mountain is rugged, there are huge rocks and cliffs everywhere, like wolf teeth intertwined, forty-eight turns to attack hard, almost impossible.

Wu Hanchao personally led the scouts, snooped secretly, and found that there were always people from the Duzhang Barbarian tribe who fled to the mountains, most hundreds, less dozens, so he decided on this fraudulent plan. The upper levels of Lingxiao City are not suitable for attacking, but if the soldiers do not reach the front of the city, there is no extravagance to talk about attacking the city.

Wu Hanchao wanted to take the risk of using hundreds of warriors to deceive the first pass, and use this as a base to cover the army to climb the mountain, although these more than 300 people were carefully selected, but the pressure they bear can be imagined. You must know that Ling Xiaocheng is condescending, it is difficult to walk in forty-eight corners, and you can see the soldiers and horses under the mountain from a distance, so Song Xiaoai's army can't follow closely at any time.

If the deception fails, it is very likely that all of these more than 300 people will be buried in front of Lingxiao City, even if the city gate is opened by fraud and the signal is released immediately, it will take a long time for Song Xiaoai's army to rush to the front of the city.

Song Xiaoai was dressed in a Ming army general's robe, silently watched them get ready, quietly walked in front of Wu Hanchao, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, take care."

Wu Hanchao looked at her concerned eyes, and suddenly smiled slightly, he remembered that the two of them were at peace for the first time, in order to defeat the stubborn Donghua Lunosuke, when he was climbing in the back mountain, Song Xiaoai also had the same concerned eyes, but now her eyes are as affectionate as the sea, but she didn't have it at that time.

She's still her, she's not her, she's grown up. I still remember that the brutal Song Xiaoai ordered the wolf soldiers to attack the mountain unreasonably, like a slave of her own family, and desperately wanted to protect his safety, but this time, although it was more dangerous and she was more worried, she did not give such an order.

She already knows how to use reason to restrain her feelings, knows how to respect others, and knows how to be a general.

Wu Hanchao nodded, turned around silently, waved his hand, and set off with more than three hundred warriors.

Song Xiaoai watched them disappear into the mountain col, then turned around, led the generals back to the tent, and said to the generals under her jurisdiction with a serious expression: "Generals, whether Lingxiao City can be taken or not is a move today." Jin garrison, responsible for the feint attack on the back mountain, but when he saw the smoke rising in the front village, he immediately made a big noise, attracted the attention of the barbarians, and reduced the pressure of the friendly troops in the front village, you set off immediately! ”

Jin Shoubei arched his hand and said: "The last general will be ordered!" Then he led his men and horses to the Broken Neck Rock.

"General Lin Shen is responsible for preparing hooks, ropes, rattan ropes, hanging ladders, wooden ladders and other tackling equipment, when the officer leads the light troops up the mountain to help, you will then move, catch up with the mountain as soon as possible, the most important thing for you is time, the sooner you come, the better, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe."

"The last general obeys!" General Lin Shen was also ordered to retreat.

Song Xiaoai's command is determined, quite the prestige of a general, and she commanded awe-inspiringly: "Deputy General Chen."

"Lord Song!" A roar at the door interrupted Song Xiaoai's order, she looked up at the door in amazement, and saw an official with a long belly, tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, although he was wearing a civil official robe, the majestic aura was a few points stronger than the generals in the tent.

"Wow! The future husband is here", Song Xiaoai was startled, and hurriedly bent her eyebrows, put on a sweet smile, and said obediently: "Master Wu, are you here to escort the grain and grass?" ”

"Aang! Grain and grass are coming! Wu Wen snorted and entered the handsome tent, standing with his waist crossed, and did not salute, obviously full of anger.

Song Xiaoai was full of joy, Wu Wending escorted grain and grass here several times, Wu Hanchao was afraid to avoid it, and the old man also left after the delivery, and he didn't deal with himself at all, it was rare that he was willing to enter the account and talk to himself today.

Song Xiaoai hurriedly said: "This official is discussing major military affairs, does Master Wu have any important matters to discuss?" ”

"Military affairs?" Wu Wending became more and more angry the more he listened, and said: "The lower officials just want to inquire about when the major affairs of the military aircraft will have to be discussed, and the lower officials will have to transport a few times of grain and grass to the foot of Lingxiao Mountain."

Song Xiaoai's eyes rolled, and she said strangely: "Master Wu, what does this mean?" ”

"What do you mean? Hum! Wu Wending said indignantly: "The progress of the officers and soldiers everywhere to suppress bandits is extremely fast, but what about here? Discussing all day long, feints, so far there has not been a serious battle, this grain and grass has been wasted a lot, do you think it is easy to transport some food? My baggage soldiers have been sick for a few trips, and seven of them have fallen off the cliff and died, and you are still thinking about it! ”

Lao Wu didn't think much of the female commander, he was the surname of the big killing, and he couldn't understand the overall plan of others if he wasn't in Song Xiaoai's army, so he took it for granted that Song Xiaoai was weak and afraid of war, and he had a lot of resentment in his heart when he brought food.

This time the grain transportation was damaged due to the mountain road, it took a lot of twists and turns, and four people were killed, but as soon as the grain was transported into the camp, I saw a group of officers and soldiers out of the camp, and a dozen heard that it was Jin Garrison who led the troops to feint to attack Lingxiao City.

This time, Lao Wu can blow up, and he still feints? When is this going to be a head? Therefore, Lao Wu broke into the handsome tent and reprimanded the Yongshuai here.

Song Xiaoai hurriedly explained: "Master Wu, you don't know something."

"Although you are the commander, don't forget that under the military law of Lord Qincha's Seven Killings, is there such a thing as cutting those who avoid war and are afraid of war? When this official returns to Xuzhou, he will report the situation here to the Qincha, and you are here one by one to be cowardly and afraid of war, to delay the warplanes, to sit back and watch the barbarians be ferocious, and to spend military resources, food and grass, which is really unreasonable."

Song Xiaoaiguang opened her mouth, couldn't interject, and her heart gradually became angry, but she was not angry, and the middle officer was angry.

This army was put together temporarily, and the generals under his command belonged to different affiliations, and the Chinese officers were also sent temporarily, and he didn't know who this bearded old man who was transporting grain was.

He pointed at Wu Wending's nose and shouted: "Since you talk about military law, do you know the seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings?" If you complain more, you will be angry with your commander, and you will be killed! Gather the crowd to discuss matters and enter the account privately, behead! The thief is unknown, less is more, cut! Boldly transport the grain officer, roar the army, reprimand the officer, and commit many crimes, come, escort him out, behead! ”

The officers and soldiers on both sides were already impatient, stepped forward to clasp Wu Wending's arms, and dragged them out, "Bah~", Song Xiaoai raised his hand and called, looked left and right, no one made a sound.

She glared at her big eyes, and then glared again: "A bunch of idiots, why didn't anyone shout to keep people under the knife?" ”

"Keep people under the knife! Slow down! A coquettish cry came from the tent.

The one who shouted, Song Xiaoai, the commander of the three armies, and Lord Song is also.
