Chapter 283: Zong Bi burned the Crystal Dragon Ridge
Han Chang stared at the breeze on the Crystal Dragon Ridge for a long time, and he realized that he couldn't eliminate Han Shizhong with hatred and bravery alone!
Han Shizhong, in Han Chang's heart, he had cursed this person's name several times, and suddenly Han Chang had a flash of inspiration and had an idea! He turned his head and asked the guard behind him, "How far is the fourth prince from here?" β
"Tell the general, the army of the fourth prince is only two miles away from us!"
"Tell me to go down, pause the attack on the mountain, and stand by in place!" Han Chang frowned, since Wanyan Zongbi had already come, he had to go to see Wanyan Zongbi and let Zongbi understand what was going on!
When Han Chang appeared in front of Wanyan Zongbi's horse, Zongbi's face was already so dark that Cheng DΓΉ couldn't be black, and before Han Chang could speak, Wanyan Zongbi actually directly whipped Han Chang's body with a horse whip: "Han Chang, why did the sneak attack fail?" β
Han Chang was trembling when he was whipped by the horse whip, but Han Chang didn't dare to express his resentment at all, this stirrup left the saddle and knelt in front of Yan Zongbi's horse and cried and said: "Four wolf masters, in order not to alarm Han Shizhong when they came to Jinglong Ridge, their subordinate cousin Han Rui took a thousand strong soldiers to follow the mountain road in the dark, but Han Shizhong's sinister and cunning man had already ambushed soldiers on both sides of the mountain road and waited for our troops to enter the pockets he had arranged!" β
"Han Chang, do you mean that Han Shizhong has already made preparations in advance?" Wanyan Zongbi looked at Han Chang with some disbelief and asked.
"Tell the four wolf lords that Han Chang has been killed in battle, and more than half of the thousand soldiers have been killed or wounded. If the wolf lord doesn't believe it. You can ask in the subordinate army! Han Chang's face showed a look of grievance.
Wanyan Zongbi's teeth gurgled with hatred. "Han Shizhong, no matter how great your ability is, this wolf master will let you crush your bones and scatter ashes!"
"The wolf lord is angry!" Ha Miqi, who was following behind Wan Yan Zongbi, reminded Wan Yan Zongbi softly: "Wolf Lord, since Han Shizhong is ready to defend, does it make sense for us to attack again?" β
"What do you mean?" Wanyan Zongbi turned his head to look at Ha Miyan and said.
"The wolf lord is now favored by the second wolf lord, and he has the prototype of a separate army, and now what the wolf lord needs is military merit, not whether he can eliminate Han Shizhong!" Ha Mi Chi said that here it is. couldn't help but pause in his tone, and when he was sure that Zong Bi's eyes were staring at him, Ha Mi Qi said slowly: "The plan now is how we can cross the old ferry port as soon as possible and enter Tokyo as quickly as possible!" β
Zong Bi didn't say anything immediately, but stood on his horse and pondered for a moment, he smiled and said, "Ha Mi, what you said about crossing the old ferry is probably just a delusion, if you want to think of the old ferry, you must go over Jinglong Ridge!" β
Ha Mi smiled and said, "Wolf Lord, is there no trail on this Crystal Dragon Ridge that can lead to the old ferry?" β
"Ha Mi, Han Shizhong will not get rid of it. Even if we arrive at the old ferry, we may not be able to cross the Yellow River safely! β
"Four wolf masters, subordinates already have a strategy to break the enemy!" Han Chang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly interjected.
"Han Chang. Do you already have a plan to break the enemy? Wanyan Zongbi was overjoyed and shouted: "Since you have a plan to break the enemy, why don't you say it early!" Zong Bi smiled and said, "Han Chang, quickly get up and talk to Gu about what is the plan to break the enemy?" β
Han Chang glanced at Yan Zongbi and said softly: "Use the way of others to govern themselves!" β
Wanyan Zongbi and Ha Mi Qi suddenly glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Fire attack? β
"Jinglong Ridge traverses from southeast to northwest, and the whole mountain is about five miles long, and Qingfeng Guan is right on the top of the only mountain road, and it is in the middle zone!" When Han Chang said this, he glanced at Yan Zongbi and said, "It's the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the north wind is howling, as long as we put more fire on the northwest edge to burn, I dare to guarantee that Jinglong Ridge will become a sea of fire in less than a quarter of an hour, and when Han Shizhong breaks through in the fire, we can let our soldiers dig a new road directly at the northwest edge!" β
Wanyan Zongbi did not directly comment on the advantages and disadvantages of Han Chang's strategy, but said to Han Chang: "Now it is only a few hundred steps away from Jinglong Ridge, Han Chang, you lead the way, I just want to see the terrain of this Jinglong Ridge!" β
As he spoke, Wanyan Zongbi drew his war horse, and galloped towards Jinglong Ridge with his cocktail crested goldfinch axe! Chi Zhanhui followed closely with a dozen guards.
Han Chang was stunned, after all, there was not much time to contact Yan Zongbi, and Han Chang couldn't help but stare at Ha Michi.
Ha Mi Chi glanced at Han Chang and said in his heart: "Although this person is a Han person, he has nearly 10,000 soldiers, and because he is a Yan person, he will definitely be the head snake in the Youyun area in the future!" "Thinking of this, Ha Mi Chi also had the heart to befriend Han Chang in his heart, and smiled at Han Chang at the moment: "General Han, don't panic, the wolf lord is going to investigate the field, you better get on the horse quickly and we will go together!"
Han Chang couldn't help but be overjoyed after being reminded by Ha Mi Chi, and whispered to Ha Mi Chi with his fists: "Military Master Hui'en, Han Chang has written it down!" β
After Han Chang said this, he turned around and got on his war horse, and as soon as he urged the war horse, he chased after Yan Zongbi!
Ha Mi Qi looked at Han Chang's back, and urged the war horse to gallop slowly with Wan Yan Zongbi with a smile.
At the foot of Jinglong Ridge, Wanyan Zongbi in military uniform watched the terrain of Jinglong Ridge, most of the soldiers under Han Chang had never seen Wanyan Zongbi, but as soon as they saw Wanyan Zongbi's aura and the people surrounding Chi Zhanhui and others behind him, they were secretly guessing the identity of Wanyan Zongbi in their hearts.
Han Shizhong stood in front of the protective wall built in front of Qingfeng Temple, and saw that more than a dozen Jurchen Tartar soldiers suddenly poured in under the mountain, and the armor and clothing were completely different from the costumes of Han Chang's pioneer battalion, Han Shizhong sighed softly: "It seems that Wanyan Zongbi has arrived!" β
Zhu Jing smiled on the side: "General, we have won a small victory for a while, and the brothers all say that the general is a god, and he can inflict such a heavy blow on the Jin soldiers, he is really the leader of the generals of our dynasty!" β
Han Shizhong shook his head and said: "Zhu Jing, now the Jin soldiers are strong, but the number of people in the audience is probably several times the number of our army, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers is also better than the combat effectiveness of our Great Song soldiers, although we occupy the advantage of the terrain." But now it seems that today's battle will be a difficult and difficult battle. Now I have an injury to my left arm. Some things have to be done with all your might! β
Zhu Jing naturally understood the meaning of Han Shizhong's words, he hugged his fists and said: "General Han doesn't need to worry too much, as long as we are optimistic about this mountain road leading to Qingfeng Temple, no matter how many troops the Jin soldiers have, I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb it!" β
Han Shizhong looked at the dense Jin soldiers under the mountain and shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about is that Wanyan Zongbi will definitely not attack us from the mountain road!" β
Zhu Jing asked puzzledly: "General, is there any trick that Yan Zongbi still can't do?" β
Han Shizhong thought for a while and instructed Zhu Jing: "Is there still a Taoist priest in the Qingfeng Temple?" β
Zhu Jing replied: "Daoist Taixu has already escorted his wife across the river with two disciples, and there should be two more disciples in the temple at this time!" "Okay. You go and get those two Dao Masters here, there are some things I need to ask!" β
Zhu Jing said yes and left.
The kung fu was not big, Zhu Jing walked over with two Taoist priests quickly, the two Taoist priests were tall and short, the tall body was thinner, and the short body was fatter. The two of them look like they are in their twenties. The two came to Han Shizhong and saluted: "Qingfeng, Qingyun see General Han!" β
Han Shizhong said with a smile; "The two Dao Elders don't need to be polite, I asked the two Dao Masters to invite me just to ask if there is only one way down the mountain to the mountain?"
Qingfeng and Qingyun glanced at each other, and the tall Qingfeng said, "General Han, there is only one way!" β
When Han Shizhong heard this, he couldn't help but say, "What does the little Taoist mean?" β
Qingfeng said, "Tell General Han." The road was walked by people, and now if the Jin soldiers have the determination to capture Jinglong Ridge. I'm afraid the general may not be able to hold it! "Qingfeng, do you know what you're talking about?" Zhu Jing said angrily: "General Han is injured and still insists on leading us all to fight against the Jin soldiers, but you are saying some frustrating words here!" β
Han Shizhong signaled Zhu Jing not to get excited with his hand on the side, Han Shizhong glanced at Qingfeng and said, "Qingfeng Daoist, what is the reason for your worry?"
Qingfeng saw that Han Shizhong did not look angry, so he put down his apprehension and said to Han Shizhong: "Jinglong Ridge is not a steep mountain, so if Jin Bing wants to go up the mountain, he will definitely come up with a way!" β
Han Shizhong couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard Qingfeng's words, he smiled, as if he wanted to relieve the pressure in his heart, "How far is Jinglongling from the old ferry?" β
Qingyun took over and said: "It only takes half an hour to go down the mountain from Qingfeng Temple to the old ferry port in the northeast direction!" β
"Is there an ambush near the old ferry?" Han Shizhong asked a little anxiously.
Qingyun and Qingfeng glanced at each other and said, "The terrain from Jinglongling to Laodukou is relatively flat, and there is almost no terrain to cover!" β
Han Shizhong was a little crying and laughing: "In this way, Jinglong Ridge can only be the only terrain to snipe the golden soldiers?" β
Qingfeng and Qingyun were silent for a moment, and they didn't even know what to say, for a long time, Qingyun sighed and said: "Jinglongling is not high, but there are many trees, and the mountains are full of thorns, if the Jin soldiers take advantage of the north wind to burn Jinglongling, and then take advantage of the fire to go up the mountain!" β
Han Shizhong didn't even look at the two of them, in fact, what Qingyun said was exactly what Han Shizhong said in Han Shizhong's heart, this is also why Han Shizhong invited the two Taoist masters, he originally tried to find the location of the ambush from Jinglong Ridge to the old ferry, but the result was extremely disappointed Han Shizhong!
Wanyan Zonghan at the bottom of the mountain stared at Jinglong Ridge while saying to Han Changyan behind him: "You organize the pioneer battalion to continue to feint on Jinglong Ridge!" We must not let Han Shizhong realize that we are still moving! β
Han Chang nodded and said, "The subordinates will prepare immediately!" β
"By the way, don't use cavalry this time!" Wanyan Zongbi instructed: "You'd better attack with infantry!" β
Han Chang nodded and immediately gathered his pioneer battalion, Han Chang directly divided the eight thousand men and horses of the pioneer battalion into eight teams, Han Chang instructed the eight captains to say: "From now on, our team will climb up the mountain along the mountains on both sides of the mountain road, everyone must have short knives and claw hooks in their hands, and they will climb the mountain as long as they have the opportunity!" β
The eight captains all nodded, they had already read a lot of things from Han Chang's face, this battle was a crucial battle for Han Chang! So the captains didn't dare to pass the buck!
Zong Bi watched Han Chang seriously arranging the soldiers to attack the mountain, and couldn't help but agree with Han Chang, Wanyan Zongbi said to Ha Mi: "You quickly call the two of you Lu Bu and Shu Lie Su!" β
The two of them, Lu Bu and Shu Liesu, came to Zong Bi. Standing in front of Zong Bi's horse, he shouted: "Hurry up and see the wolf lord!" β
Wanyan Zongbi threw the stirrup out of the saddle. got off the war horse and smiled at the two: "Have you forgotten the shame of the Battle of Shilipo?" β
I don't know the meaning of Yan Zongbi's words. At that moment, he said: 'Wolf Lord, Shilipo has been defeated, we will remember this revenge!' β
"Okay, there is a saying in the Central Plains that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!" Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said: "But our hatred will not last for ten years, and tonight we can return the fire of Shilipo to Han Shizhong!" β
Lu Bu and Shu Lie's eyes lit up, and the two of them hugged their fists and said: "My subordinates are willing to follow the wolf lord to avenge Han Shizhong's burning revenge on the Shili Slope!" β
"Listen to the order!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Lone ordered the two of you to take your men and horses to open a path from the northwest edge of Jinglong Ridge first, and then set fire to the trees and weeds there in half an hour, you two remember that you must master the timing. When the north wind is strong, you must set it on fire! β
Lu Bu and Shu Lie nodded quickly and said, "Will the subordinates attack Jinglong Ridge after arson?" β
"Standby!" Wanyan Zongbi's face didn't have any expression.
"Subordinates obey!" Naturally, the two of them didn't dare to ask more, so they took the order and left!
At this time, Ha Mi Chi and Chi Zhan Hui saw Yan Zongbi get off the horse, and naturally dismounted and stood on both sides of Wan Yan Zongbi, Ha Mi Chi whispered: "Wolf master, my subordinates always feel that we should explore whether there is a way to the old ferry!" "Strategist, don't worry!" Wanyan Zongbi said without a trace of a smile on his face: "The most important thing in the battle between the two armies is the timing, sometimes once you can't grasp some opportunities, maybe it will be the destruction of an army!" β
After seeing Yan Zongbi, he said this. Knowing that it was no longer appropriate for him to say anything, the only thing he could do was to accompany Wan Yan Zongbi to watch how Han Chang, Lu Bu, and Shu Lie Su swayed the scene of Fire Attack Jinglong Ridge to the extreme!
At this time. Seeing that the soldiers of Han Chang's first pioneer battalion had begun to climb frantically towards Jinglong Ridge, many soldiers had claw hooks in their hands, and they used claw hooks to directly hook the pine trees on the mountain, and then pulled the rope of the claw hook with one hand, and stuck the mountain soil with a waist knife in the other hand to climb towards the height of Jinglong Ridge!
One soldier, two soldiers, three soldiers... I saw soldiers of the pioneer battalion climbing on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road, and they were trying to adjust their mentality. While they were crawling with all their might, they were thinking about how to capture Han Shizhong alive, after all, whoever could hold Han Shizhong, Wanyan Zongbi would definitely reward him.
Han Shizhong watched from the mountain, Han Chang commanded a team of soldiers not to take the mountain road, but to climb from the slopes on both sides of the mountain road and go straight to the top of the Jinglong Ridge!
Han Shizhong's face was solemn, and he shouted: "Brothers, listen, whether it is an archer or a thrower, you must aim at the target and try to hit it with one hit!" β
The morale of the Song soldiers was high at this time, and they all replied when they heard Han Shizhong's shouting: "Don't worry, general, we will obey orders!" β
Han Shizhong nodded but said to Zhu Jing in a low voice: "Now that Wanyan Zongbi has arrived at the foot of Jinglong Ridge, although they want to avenge the revenge of Shilipo, they actually want to pass through Jinglong Ridge to reach the old ferry!" β
Zhu Jing nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" β
"So, I'm worried that their attack is fake, and the secret arson is real!" Han Shizhong looked at the northwest and said in a solemn tone.
"General, I don't know what we should do?" Zhu Jing was also shocked when he heard it, after all, the fire in Shilipo was vivid, and the scene of Jin Bing being burned by the fire made Zhu Jing unforgettable for life!
"You take 4,000 soldiers from the northwest side of the ridge to cut down all the pine trees and wild grasses from the top of the mountain to the distance of a foot and a half down the slope, so as to ensure that when the fire breaks out at the bottom of the mountain, the fire will not spread to the top of the mountain and the mountain behind!" When Han Shizhong said this, he grabbed Zhu Jing's hand and said, "In addition, put all the felled trees and uprooted weeds on the top of the mountain, I can still use them!" β
Zhu Jing hugged his fists and said: 'My subordinates will do it!' β
Han Shizhong nodded and instructed Zhu Jingyan: "This time the time is urgent, once the north wind is strong, the Jin soldiers may set fire from the northwest!" So you have to hurry! β
Zhu Jing nodded, turned around and transferred troops to cut down trees and weed!
At this time, some of the soldiers of Han Chang's first team under the command of the captain of the first team had already climbed halfway up the mountain, and at this time, the archers and throwers of the Song soldiers began to fight back against the invading Jin soldiers!
The Song soldiers hid behind some thick trees from the top of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, and some even lay on the trees, holding their breath and waiting for the golden soldiers to climb up, one arrow after another rushed towards the set goal, puff puff and puff blood splashed in the dark night, facing the fact that the fifty or sixty soldiers who rushed to the front were killed by the Song soldiers, the captain of the first team had to order the first team of soldiers to retreat!
Han Chang sat on the horse and watched his first team of soldiers retreat, Han Chang was not angry at all, because Han Chang understood that Yan Zongbi completely wanted to exchange the lives of his soldiers for Han Shizhong's neglect of the northwest, so as to achieve the best effect of the fire attack!
When the second group of soldiers launched the second climb under the command of the captain, gusts of wind raged and rolled up endless wind and sand.
Wanyan Zongbi suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "It's really God who helps me, Han Shizhong wants to see how you have passed the lonely level!" Lone is going to burn Jinglong Ridge today! β
Ha Mi Qi also looked at the wind and sand on the side with a look of surprise on his face, and said secretly: "Why did the north wind suddenly rise on this day?" (To be continued......)
