Chen Guoqi thought for a moment and said: "Lord Zhu, it is definitely not possible to dispatch a large army, and it is not possible to attack at night - fierce beasts are rampant in the mountains and forests, and we can only go up the mountain with lanterns and torches. This is tantamount to telling the enemy that we should go up the mountain and beat them up the hill and make them hurry up and dig the dam to release the water. I planned to send fifty cavalry up the hill for a raid. If the enemy releases water, the cavalry hastened to retreat; If the enemy does not release the water, take the opportunity to destroy the enemy's defenders. Although it is a bit difficult, I believe in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard. Anyway, the cavalry was very fast, and I think it should be able to outrun the speed of the flood. ”

Wu Huping shook his head and said, "I agree with Lord Chen on the opinion of sending a small force to attack the enemy army. However, I don't think cavalry should be sent, but infantry should be sent to do this. The slope of the mountain in front of you is very large, and the speed of the cavalry going up and down the mountain must be greatly affected, and once the flood breaks out, it will be even more difficult for the cavalry to escape. When it comes to mountain warfare, infantry is far more mobile and flexible than cavalry. Although the infantry will certainly not be able to outrun the flood, they can hold on to the big tree, and the big tree will not run away from the flood. The number of troops should not be too small, a hundred should be about the same. ”

After listening to the opinions of the two generals, Zhu Youcheng clapped his hand and said: "Okay, just follow General Wu's opinion." ”

Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping listened to Zhu Youcheng's words, and they vied together to be the vanguard and lead the troops to eliminate the rebel troops stationed on the mountain.

Zhu Youcheng shook his head and said, "It is a virtue not to be afraid of death for the general, but you can't rush to the front ↖↗ in everything." The fighting generals in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are just novelists' words, which are not enough to be trusted. Imagine if the general died, who would lead the army next? Since this is a 100-person assault, the leader only needs to be 100 households. Both of you, remember that you must not go to the front until the last minute. The so-called will be the bones of the soldiers, and the soldiers will be the courage. You are the backbone of all soldiers, and it is unwise to take risks lightly. ”

When Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping heard this, their faces were solemn, and they both clasped their fists and said, "Thank you Lord Zhu for your teaching." ”

Soldiers don't have to pick, all the brocade guards are trained to be good soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Ming Dynasty, hear this task. It's really brave, and everyone is vying to be the first.

Chen Guoqi randomly selected a hundred households and asked them to take on the task of this charge.

The hundred households of Jinyiwei have all learned how to lead troops, and Yan Kuan, the one who was selected, is naturally no exception. He made a small pre-war mobilization before the expedition, and the soldiers were so excited that they screamed.

Because it was a small group of troops, Baihu asked the soldiers to take off the name and nameplate hanging around their necks according to the regulations, collect it, and hand it over to Zhu Youcheng.

Zhu Youcheng stroked the name plate and was moved in his heart. This expedition was actually a death-threatening mission. If the lake on the top of the mountain is released with water, how many soldiers can come back from this hundred households?

Zhu Youcheng said: "Remember, you must pay attention to your own safety when destroying the enemy. If there is a flash flood, don't hard top, find a big tree and tie yourself to the big tree. The longest time for the flood discharge is less than an hour, as long as you resist this hour, you will be fine. ”

Yan Kuan nodded. Departure with soldiers.

Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping brought soldiers and war horses to the high ground, and no one knew how much water there was on the top of the mountain. It's better to be careful where you can get to-

Yan Kuan led the soldiers to the top of the mountain.

They did not take the official road, but walked through the dense forest. Since the Yi people are plotting to release the water, there must be open whistles and secret whistles. If you take the official road, isn't it to send food to the Yiren?

Halfway up the mountain, Yan Kuan heard the sound of swaying leaves in front of him.

He immediately motioned for the soldiers to stop. Then hold up the binoculars and look ahead.

Yiren is still dark, and likes to wear black clothes. Whether it is Heiyi or Baiyi, they are all dressed in black. If it's late at night, it's easy to hide your figure. But it's daytime, and the sun is very strong. The Yiren are as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.

Yan Kuan effortlessly found the secret sentry of Yiren.

The long-range weapon of his troops is crossbows, which is why Chen Guoqi chose his 100 households to carry out the sneak attack mission. Since it was a sneak attack, the firearm unit must not be chosen, otherwise the earth-shattering sound would be audible even to the deaf, and the meaning of the sneak attack would be lost.

Yan Kuan waved his hand, several soldiers wound the crossbow, aimed it accurately, pulled the trigger, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", and the crossbow arrows flew towards the rebels in front.

The arrow was so accurate that the rebels fell to the ground and died without even snorting.

There was an observation post on the top of the tree, and he noticed that something was wrong on the ground, and he opened his mouth to shout, when a crossbow arrow flew and shot right into his mouth, blocking his call to call the police. He staggered, took several steps backwards, retreated to the railing, tripped over the railing, fell upside down, hung up a few branches, fell to the ground, and saw that he was not alive.

Yan Kuan smiled proudly and said, "Although I rarely make a move, as long as I make a move, I will definitely see blood." ”

One of the soldiers said timidly, "My lord, the arrow that hit the mouth seems to be my arrow......

Yan Kuan asked suspiciously, "Then where did my arrow go?" ”

The soldiers beside him shook their heads in unison.

After solving the outpost, Yan Kuan's soldiers stepped forward to search for the rebels' belongings, and then recovered the crossbow arrows.

The soldiers who were searching for the rebels and other outposts suddenly cheered softly and whispered, "Lord Yan, I have found your crossbow arrows." ”

Yan Kuan stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was his arrow. I saw a dead rabbit on the ground, which had been hit by an arrow in the neck and fell to the ground.

"This is deliberate by this official," Yan Kuan blushed, "I will win a big battle later, I have to celebrate, and eat dry food?" The birds are fading out of their beaks. At the celebration banquet, the official invited all the soldiers to eat roast rabbits. ”

The soldiers chuckled softly.

Along the way, he encountered five or six secret sentinels, all of which were so thrilling that they left behind the corpses of the rebels.

The brocade guard silently touched the top of the mountain, and sure enough, there were soldiers stationed there. Yan Kuan counted and found that the Yi people did not know how to count, and the so-called "heavy soldiers" were only five or six hundred.

Yan Kuan couldn't help grinning, and said to himself: "This is also called heavy soldiers? Laughing to death. ”

Yan Kuan didn't know that An Bangyan had the intention of putting two or three thousand people on the top of the mountain, but unfortunately the top of the mountain was so big that there were not so many soldiers stationed.

Yan Kuan silently calculated in his heart, he had one hundred and fourteen people in his hands, although the rebels had five or six hundred people, but their combat effectiveness was all scum, and there was no problem for Jinyi Wei to fight one dozen or six. It seems that before going up the mountain, the hard battle that I expected in my heart is unlikely to happen.

He laid out the battle plan in a low voice, only to hear a slight "creaking" sound in the dense forest.

Yan Kuan shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

Just listening to the sound of "whooshing", a hundred arrows were fired in the dense forest, and fifty or sixty rebels were shot down on the spot.

Then the brocade guard threw away his bow and crossbow, and rushed out of the woods with his spear.

The rebels were caught off guard, suffered a surprise attack, and the people were in turmoil. The soldiers of the rebels are like headless flies, scurrying around. Although the rebel officers tried their best to organize their troops to fight back, they had little success.

Jinyi Wei is really like a tiger and a wolf, rushing into the enemy's formation and slaughtering it. With each round of their raids, they always reaped the lives of a group of rebels.

Of course, the rebels didn't want to use their own blood to dye their military medals red for Jinyiwei, so they slashed at Jinyiwei with their knives.

These rebels are all descendants of An Bangyan, with strong martial arts, and they fight one-on-one with Jinyiwei, and there may be a possibility of victory.

It's a pity that they are facing a group of brocade guards, and as soon as the steel knife is cut down, they are held by the spear. As soon as they wanted to change their tactics, they felt a pain in their chests with the door wide open. They looked down and saw a bloody spear drawn from their chests, blood spurting wildly from their chests, their consciousness dissipating little by little as the blood sprayed.

That's the power of the Brocade Guard's spear formation—it works together seamlessly. Zhu Youcheng's military training is unity and assistance, a Jinyi guard may not be particularly powerful, but a group of Jinyi guards is the strongest combination of combat power, and even martial arts masters cannot escape their pursuit.

There are not no martial arts masters in the rebels, I saw a rebel flying up, his foot lightly on the tip of the gun, and he actually jumped next to the Jinyi guard, and cut off the arm of a Jinyi guard soldier with a gun. But the next move of the brocade guard surprised him, and the one-armed brocade guard actually hugged him with one hand. He slashed Jin Yiwei's back with a knife, but the Jin Yiwei just wouldn't let go, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a snowy steel knife was pulled out of his chest, it was Jin Yiwei's embroidered spring knife.

Seeing that his companion had killed the rebels, the brocade guard had a smile on his face, tilted his head, fell to the ground, and stopped breathing. (To be continued......)
