Thirty-Seven Expeditions to the Mountains (4)

It has been five days since He Qi led his troops to garrison the water source, during which Jiao had organized three attacks to recapture the water source, but unfortunately all of them failed. After all, there are strong bows and crossbows in the He Qi army to defend them, and they can't be captured by a few poorly equipped Yue warriors. Especially He Qi, who was born with the surname of Luxury, He Qi's requirements for equipment can already be described as demanding, so his subordinates are well-equipped, and it can be said that no one in Jiangdong can compare with Sun Ce's Chinese army.

At the foot of the mountain, Qiao Ren and Sun Yi were both dressed in military uniforms and sat in the big tent, and their subordinate generals were also in armor, and suddenly there was a murderous atmosphere in the camp. Qiao Ren first spoke: "According to the report from the scout, the Jiao Ji camp has begun to be chaotic now, and the morale of the enemy is greatly reduced due to the lack of water, and it will take a lot of time to wait for him to go down the mountain. During the period, there will be a middle difference that is unpredictable, so General Sun and General Sun decided to strike first. ”

After Qiao Ren finished speaking, he signaled to Sun Yi and asked him to introduce the situation of Jiao Ji's rebellion, Sun Yi did not shirk and stood up, pointed to the map with his right hand and said: "Jiao has the main force of the thieves stationed in this mountain, this mountain is surrounded by cliffs, dozens of zhang high, the mountain road is dangerous and narrow, only one person is allowed, and the rebels are condescending, and it is difficult to look up to the enemy. If our army dares to attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be effective, so after consulting with Qiao Fuyue, it was decided to win by surprise. ”

At this time, Qiao Ren also took over the conversation and said loudly: "After I have sent scouts to investigate, combined with Wu Xun's map, I found that there is a hidden path behind this mountain, I want to select light and brave soldiers, take the night to Tiege Chop Mountain as a ladder to climb the mountain, and then use the cloth to help, the soldiers bravely climb up, take advantage of their unpreparedness to sneak attack, and then all the soldiers beat the drum horn on all sides to shock the enemy. What do the soldiers think? "The last question is purely superfluous, can the subordinates of Qiao Ren and Sun Yi raise any objections in the tent?

After half a moment, seeing that there was no doubt that the generals in the tent had finished discussing, Qiao Ren began to give his life. "When the governor goes, appoint Ren to temporarily supervise the three armies. Today, if there is a perfunctory military order, it will be dealt with by military law; If there is a violation of the yang and the yin, the military law will deal with it; If there is a cowardice, it will not be dealt with by military law. ”

"Wow," all the generals stood up with a look on their faces.

"Okay," Qiao Ren didn't say much when he saw this, and directly began to set up the formation according to his prior arrangement. "Gan Ning obeyed the order, and you led the troops and horses of your headquarters to climb up the trail to attack the enemy's tent." Although the number of Gan Ning's subordinates is small, there are only more than 1,000 people, but they are all Yizhou local, and Shu is mountainous and precipitous, so it is known as the difficult road of Shu, compared to the mountain in Bashu, this can only be regarded as a small hill in the eyes of Gan Ning.

"Wow," Gan Ning bowed forward, took the military order, and returned to his place to stand.

"Where is Sun Gao? You led your battalion with many soldiers and horses, prepared drums and trumpets to ambush in the mountains and forests, but when you saw that the enemy was on fire, you started to beat drums and trumpets. Qiao Ren then instructed Sun Yi's subordinate Sun Gaodao.

"Whoa"

"Where is Jia Hua? You led your own guards to ambush the main road behind the mountain with a good bow and crossbow, but when you saw the enemy, you shot him. "Jia Hua's personal guard song was transferred from the Wudifficult army, and the most well-equipped soldiers were also skilled in melee combat, and the bow and crossbow were fine, so Qiao Ren dared to arrange five hundred people to guard the main road.

"Oh" as a pro-guard Sima should not have left the main general's side an inch, but Jia Hua was often used as a sharp knife by Sun Ce when he was Sun Ce's personal guard, and he subconsciously took the order under Qiao Ren's command.

"The rest of the generals will lead their troops and horses to ambush me in front of me." Qiao Ren's last command last night was to stand up.

"Whoa"

"The army cooks on the third watch, and sets off on the fifth watch. The generals went and prepared. As for Gan Ning, he wanted to set off now, Qiao Ren didn't mention it.

When all the generals in the tent had dispersed, Sun Yi asked Qiao Ren, "Ziyan, are you completely sure." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ren smiled bitterly and said: "How can you be completely sure of marching and fighting, but if you have five points, it is worth a try." Third brother, to be honest, I'm panicking now, for fear that Xingba's people will be in danger because of my mistakes. After the generals retreated, Qiao Ren, who was still confident, immediately withered, looking at the cold sweat in his palms, Qiao Ren was also worried to death.

"Hey," Sun Yi sighed and turned to comfort Qiao Ren: "Ziyan, don't worry too much, although our plan is not seamless, it is also perfect." This morning, Jiao has just organized a wave of men and horses to retrieve the water source, and was defeated by He Dudu, tonight must be the lack of people and horses. That's right, Ziyan. Does this really need not be told to the Governor? It turned out that Qiao Ren's plan was not notified to He Qi, who was on the mountain.

Qiao Ren was a little distracted when he heard this, and only after a while did he say: "He Dudu will definitely have Jiao Ji's spies to monitor when he is stationed in the mountains, and if he tells him in advance, I am afraid that Jiao Ji will be suspicious." That's why I didn't tell the governor, but I'll send someone to inform him after the third watch. ”

Sun Yi thought about it for a while, but it was the same reason, so he didn't say anything. Instead of staring at the map in a daze, it seems that Sun Yide is also very nervous in his heart. Sun Yi was not afraid of fighting before the battle, but this kind of surprise attack was the first time after all, and who was not nervous about the first time.

------------------------------------------Boundary----------------------------------

The dark clouds are in the sky, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse, and it is a good weather for a surprise attack. Gan Ning's army marched the path covered with grass and trees, but fortunately, when Jinfan was in Shu County, there was no less Qingcheng and Emei's running around, and this kind of trail also walked a lot, and now although it is a little darker, it is also a familiar road.

"Boss, there is a steep cliff in front of you, and after that, it will be the camp of thieves." A Jinfan tun chief reported to Gan Ning

"You said you were going to call me General. The old rule is to find a few monkey cubs who can climb the mountain quickly to go up and have a look, and the rest of the brothers will make a ladder out of cloth strips and we will climb the mountain. By the way, what do you want to do to become a prince of the country? Gan Ning couldn't remember it for a while

But the tun chief replied to him: "Rope ladder, boss." ”

Gan Ning was not happy when he heard this: "Lao Tzu knows" After speaking, he kicked the butt of the tun chief, and said, "Don't go quickly" But the tun chief has long been familiar with Gan Ning's routine, and his ass flashed and actually dodged it.

The monkey cubs in Gan Ning's mouth are a few mountain people under him who were originally Badi, who originally begged for a living in the mountains and later joined Gan Ning's troops. Growing up on the mountain, I can climb with my bare hands, not to mention this small cliff that is not too steep.

In less than half an hour, the monkeys had set up a rope ladder on the cliff, and at the same time tied a few thick hemp ropes to the trees to fish down for the rest of the sergeants to climb. For a while, the sword light and shadow on the cliff appeared and the black shadow moved, and when I looked closely, it was all Gan Ning's soldiers who were climbing. At this time, they have all taken off their clothes and used them as ropes, and the tattoos on their naked bodies look more like Yue Min, and the Jin Fan who took off their clothes is more comfortable, and only wearing leather armor is their style, but taking off their clothes is undressing, and the bell that fell on the belt was not taken off and all bitten in their mouths.

When all the 1,000 men and horses climbed up, Gan Ning said, "Children, tie all the jingle bells to Lao Tzu." Remember to rush in and light the fire first, don't fall in love. As soon as the drum sounds, immediately go to the front gate. Remember, we only set fires, and we don't kill people. ”

"It's the boss." A thousand sergeants replied in unison, and after speaking, they quietly sneaked towards the stockade in an orderly manner.

"It's all said that it's General Lao Tzu." Gan Ning's sentence is a bit like talking to himself.

I have to say that Jiao did not expect that someone would come up from the rear cliff, and even the fence behind the stockade where his army was stationed was only one meter high, and he could directly climb over it. Yesterday afternoon, when people were sleepy and horses were lacking, and before dawn was when people were most tired, and there were few people patrolling the huge tents, and even the soldiers who were standing guard dozed off.

Gan Ning took the lead with a horse (although he didn't ride), and shouted the trumpet of Shudi: "Children, set fire." There was a lot of excitement in the conversation, and the soldiers were all familiar with the road, and it seemed that they had done a lot of arson before.

The soldiers of Jinfan all took out the fire fold from their arms, and lit the fire to these flammable military tents, and the bell of the waist pendant began to jingle continuously as the range of action increased, but the bell of the Jinfan Army was really necessary for the camp. With a sound and firelight, the Yue people in the village had no military discipline, and in this case, it was even more chaotic.

"General, you see that the enemy village is on fire." Sun Gao, who was dozing in the dense forest, was woken up by his guards.

"Oh," Sun Gao rubbed his still slightly red eyes and looked at the continuous fire of the village where Jiao had been stationed, and smiled from ear to ear, "Brothers, beat the drum for me hard." ”

For a time in the mountains, birds and beasts were frightened. And the already chaotic Jiao Jijun was even more chaotic, and for a while, the casualties caused by the soldiers trampling on each other continued to increase. "Chief, the camp has been bombed." A Vietnamese general in leather armor hurried to the camp where Jiao had been.

Jiao was already irritable due to lack of water, and at night he found a few Yue women with fair skin to vent the fire and finally fell asleep, and was woken up like this and wanted to have a seizure, but when he heard the sounds everywhere, his heart was half cold, and he pushed away the two women who were not wearing the slightest thread on his body, and hurriedly put on his clothes. For a while, the spring in the tent was infinite, but the Yue generals, who had not touched a woman in January, didn't mean anything about the white thighs, just waiting for Jiao to make up his mind.

Finally, when Jiao had already put on his clothes and armor, he heard: "Mao Gan immediately took his personal guards with me to Linli Mountain, where there are still 50,000 of my troops." Jiao was already anxious to get out of here quickly, but when he saw Mao Gan stunned at the door, he couldn't help kicking him angrily.

"Chief, there are 30,000 brothers here! There are nearly 100,000 of our tribes in the mountains. Let's run. "Mao Gan can't let go of the tribe here.

"! He Qi and Qiao Ren's army has already attacked, and it will be too late if they don't leave, just a few tribes. Seeing that Mao Gan was unmoved, Jiao almost wanted to kill him with a knife: "You can't go"

Xu was forced by Jiao Ji's Yinwei, Mao Gan nodded with difficulty, and took more than a hundred guards to escort Jiao Ji to the trail, but he didn't want to go and crashed into Jia Hua's arms.
