Li Dingguo and Nighthawk are both practical people, once they decided to do something, the two became silent, and began to carefully observe the high Dingjun Mountain on the opposite side, where a heavy army was stationed, the two first drew a topographic map, and then marked the location of each bright post and secret post on the map one by one, and also marked down each area separately, and the map was accurate to where there was a big stone, where there was a ditch, etc., and marked them one by one as much as possible.

A little more preparation is also a better chance of winning, Li Dingguo understands this truth, once they enter the working state, the two of them forget the time all of a sudden, and keep observing, digging out the bright posts and secret posts laid by Hong Chengchou, looking for the law of patrolling, and not letting go of any breakthrough that can be broken through, in addition to calculating time and other factors.

Two days, two full days, in addition to changing a place or angle of observation from time to time, if it were not for the use of charcoal to add or subtract some things on the map from time to time, both of them did not move for half a day, and they were about to become "Wangwu Stone", Li Dingguo and Nighthawk did not sleep for two days, drank some cold water when they were thirsty, and nibbled on some dry food when they were hungry, and finally, their efforts were not in vain, and it took two days and two nights for the two to draw a very detailed defense map of Dingjun Mountain.

Of course, the credit also goes to the clairvoyant, and the cold weather also helps a lot, the leaves fall, and the sight factor is minimized.

After returning to Wujiawan, the two went to the house of Wu Youtian, the patriarch of the village, and fell asleep, sleeping from morning to noon.

I didn't sleep for two days and two nights, I didn't dare to slack off for a moment, the eyes of the two of them were boiled into rabbit eyes, and they were mentally exhausted, if it wasn't for the urgency of the task, the two of them would have slept for another day and a night, but unfortunately time did not allow, first, Lu Haoshan led the army to arrive, and second, Hong Chengchou led the troops to help encircle and suppress Zhang Rui, I don't know when he will return.

Of course, he's better off when he's not here.

After getting up, the two finished washing. After using the meal carefully prepared by the patriarch of Wu Youtian, he immediately began to take out their respective maps and began to compare, looking for their own shortcomings, which can be regarded as learning from each other's strengths and making up for their weaknesses.

Li Dingguo picked up the map and began to look for a path that would lead to the mountain. It is very difficult to accurately predetermine the target, and not let the enemy find it, avoid the layers of open posts and secret posts, and take care of the patrol, Hong Chengchou was originally a famous general, experienced, and set up twelve lines of defense on a mountain, which can be described as a metamorphosis.

It's about getting to the destination, not just to reach the goal. It is not an easy task to formulate a route for evacuation, and Li Dingguo constantly calculates and deduces, frowning from time to time. In the end, I pushed the pen a little helplessly.

Although Nighthawk can provide the armor of the Qing army and can be mixed in, it must be blown up closely. Making such a move and then escaping calmly became an almost impossible task.

Seeing Li Dingguo push the pen away, Nighthawk smiled bitterly and said, "General." The small one is right, this Dingjun mountain pass makes Hong Chengchou operate like an iron bucket, I heard that there are several sets of slogans on the mountain, the Hongyi cannon is placed in a cave, it is said that Hong Chengchou's warrant is needed to get close, it can be said that it is heavily guarded, no one should think of a way to create a little chaos in Hanzhong City, maybe this opportunity will come out. ”

At the beginning, Nighthawk was not optimistic about this plan, but now seeing Li Dingguo's depressed face, he hurriedly persuaded on the side.

Li Dingguo said helplessly: "No matter how you calculate it, it will be a little bit worse in the end, and the defense projects are interlocking, which is indeed remarkable." ”

"That is, even if the general arrives in a smooth way, it will not be easy to escape after he succeeds, unless they are all asleep, but this is simply impossible, the general is the rising star of Sichuan, and the governor also attaches great importance to the general, so there is no need to risk his life." Nighthawk whispered, "There is no need to risk it alone, the little one will explain the situation to the Governor, and I don't think the Lord will blame the General." ”

Li Dingguo is a popular man in Sichuan, and he has won the trust of the Governor, his uncle Li Nian, the chief think tank of the Governor, and the uncle and nephew can be hot in Sichuan.

This is called Huahuaqiaozi and everyone lifts.

"Asleep?" Li Dingguo paused for a moment, and soon his eyes lit up and said: "There is a way, how could I not think of it, just do it." ”

Nighthawk froze for a moment when he heard this, and said with some puzzlement: "General, what do you mean?" ”

Li Dingguo changed his depressed appearance just now, and suddenly said with a high spirit: "It can't be implemented before, that is, no matter how it is calculated, it is always not enough time, fortunately, you reminded, that's right, it's just a word, sleep, as long as you fall asleep, you can solve it." ”

Nighthawk was confused when he heard this, and said in surprise: "General, you don't still want to make up your mind about the military mountain, do you?" Didn't you just say no? ”

"Not just now, but fortunately, we reminded the soldiers to sleep so we could do it."

"The little ones want to hear about it."

Li Dingguo said with a confident face: "Now the winter has not gone, the branches have not yet sprouted, the field of vision is very broad, there is no chance during the day, only wait for the night, the best time is after the second watch, then the density of the defense will be loosened, we will have the opportunity to dive in, to reach the destination and blow up the target, there is not enough time, but Ben will be inspired by your words, since it can't be completed in one night, then we will use the time of two nights, the night before to dive to the vicinity of the Hongyi cannon, and then lurk in the ditch, wait until it is dark before acting." ”

After a pause, Li Dingguo smiled and continued: "The one who can guard the Hongyi cannon should be Hong Chengchou's personal soldiers, and it can be seen that Hong Chengchou is good to his personal soldiers, for fear that they will be wronged, and every night he sends a cook to send them supper during the third watch, as long as we can do something from the supper, the Hongyi cannon will be at our fingertips." ”

Hiding under the noses of more than 20,000 Qing soldiers during the day?

This is definitely a crazy idea, let alone how to do things with the food, Nighthawk was stunned when he heard this, came back to his senses, and hurriedly comforted: "General, no, even if you can succeed, but to retreat from the heavy defense, this is too difficult and too difficult, please think twice." ”

"Ben will naturally not let his brothers go to death, Nighthawk, as long as you prepare a horse for me in the position I designated, you say that this Dingjun Mountain is the ass of a tiger, then I will touch this tiger to show you." Li Dingguo said confidently.

"But. General ......."

"So decide." Li Dingguo said with a firm face.

Seeing that Li Dingguo had made up his mind, Nighthawk knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to say: "Yes, if the general has any needs, just give orders, the small ones must do their best." ”

"Okay, as soon as you have Mr. Lao Yeya." Li Dingguo was also not polite.

The two discussed for a while, and soon, Li Dingguo gathered his subordinates who had rested for two days, took out a map, and explained the defense of Dingjun Mountain in detail. And he told his men about his plan, and the people gathered around for most of the day, and even Nighthawk was a little surprised when he heard it.

For example, what kind of pace speed to use and how to control the sound volume to the minimum, how many meters to walk in how much time, what clothes to wear, what position to reach before the Qing army changes guards, how to react when the enemy discovers it, and so on.

Nighthawk finally understood that Li Dingguo was able to stand in this position and be respected by the governor like this, relying on more than luck.

After listening to Li Dingguo's plan, Nighthawk had a little more confidence in Li Dingguo's ability to destroy the Hongyi cannon.

Time flies. In winter, night always falls very quickly, there is no program in the remote mountain village, and the villagers of Wujiawan have eaten early. As soon as it gets dark, I hide in bed, one is ambiguous, and the other is to save some lamp oil, and it is dark. Li Dingguo's specially selected team members gathered at the home of Li Chang Wu Youtian, and everyone sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed to recuperate, waiting for the time to set off.

Three more and one arrive. Li Dingguo opened his eyes abruptly and whispered: "Action!" ”

At the sound of the order, the men who had been sitting quietly moved at once, and they were like agile rabbits and ghosts in the dark, and they did not light torches, but only relied on the thin starlight to go on the road, and soon disappeared on the country road.

Professional, the nighthawk on the side secretly shouted in his heart: everyone is wearing black night clothes, black from head to toe, even the shoes are black soft-soled cloth shoes, the face is wrapped in a black face towel, only a pair of eyes are exposed, the most exaggerated thing is that in order to prevent the reflection of the weapons, before departure, all the weapons are wrapped in black cloth.

What I thought of, this team has done a good job, that is, the details that I didn't think of, these people have also done it.

Hopefully, a qiēshun lì.

"My lord, what now?" Wu Youtian whispered on the side.

After these unchased guests left, Wu Youtian was obviously relieved, now the Qing army is very strict monitoring, although the village is all their own family, but these people are a time bomb in the village after all, now that they are gone, there is no need to worry, even if there are Qing soldiers to search, there is no need to be afraid.

A small village with only more than 30 households, with dozens of people pouring in at once, is indeed a bit conspicuous.

Nighthawk said expressionlessly, "You let people deal with all traces as if they hadn't come." ”

Regardless of whether the mission is successful or not, Li Dingguo and his entourage will not return here, this is just a foothold, this is so close to Dingjun Mountain, and if such a big movement is made, it will definitely be implicated.

"Yes, sir."

When Nighthawk had finished speaking, he stopped talking, turned around and disappeared into the night.........

In fact, Nighthawk did not finish, out of Wujiawan Village, went straight to the Beacon Mountain that he observed with Li Dingguo yesterday, took out his clairvoyant eyes, and carefully searched for the figure of Li Dingguo and others, because he made an appointment with Li Dingguo, if necessary, Nighthawk would make movement under the mountain to attract attention and create opportunities for Li Dingguo.

Nighthawk participated in the planning, and also listened to the secret meeting of Li Dingguo and his subordinates, knew Li Dingguo's route, and soon found Li Dingguo and his party in the clairvoyant.

To tell the truth, if you didn't know Li Dingguo's route in advance, it would be really difficult to find them, because they were almost about to melt into the night, Nighthawk saw that Li Dingguo took the lead and walked in the front, from time to time he made various gestures to his subordinates, and communicated in sign language throughout the whole process, and those subordinates cooperated with dozens of people like one person, which seemed to have a very tacit understanding.

The reason for recognizing Li Dingguo is that Li Dingguo is very burly, and he has a feeling of standing out from the crowd among so many people.

With the advancement of Li Dingguo and others, the closer they got to Dingjun Mountain, the more nervous they became, for fear that they would be discovered by the Qing army if they were not careful, not only would their previous achievements be lost, but they were most afraid that their lives would not be guaranteed.

Soon, Nighthawk's heart slowly relaxed, and it turned from worry to appreciation. Because Li Dingguo and their appearance are so good, they are too good to pick out the thorns: the footsteps are so light, the movements are so agile, the timing is so right, they are over obstacles, through the blockade, avoiding enemy patrols, they are as skillful as a leisurely stroll, and while advancing, they do not forget to eliminate the traces behind, the kind of infiltration that is like a drizzle of moisture, which is enough to be written in a textbook.

While admiring, Nighthawk began to be proud again, applauding the mighty Sichuan army. He is a member of the Sichuan Army, so he is naturally proud and proud.

Nighthawk looked at it, and felt that he was not watching and cooperating, but enjoying a big play, and this big drama was still the kind that was broadcast live, which was really worth it.

In the telescope, the speed of Li Dingguo and his entourage was fast and slow, and when it was fast, it would advance dozens of meters in a while, and when it was slow, it would not move for half an hour. And then the timing is different, sometimes seizing the enemy to change the guard to advance, sometimes taking advantage of the sentry soldiers to turn around and pee, fortunately, there is always a danger, the most thrilling is a patrol on the mountainside. was supposed to patrol over, but unexpectedly, some soldiers hid private goods and took them out to share with their comrades, and they stopped. It took up the time of Li Dingguo and his entourage to get through guò, but fortunately, in the end, they all passed guò without danger.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, a trace of fish belly white was revealed in the sky. Before I knew it, it was about to dawn, and just a moment before dawn, Li Dingguo and his entourage arrived at the deep ditch along the way, and dozens of people disappeared into the deep ditch in a few breaths.

Nighthawk breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew that Li Dingguo had passed the first hurdle smoothly.

As soon as it was daytime, Li Dingguo took people to hide in the deep ditch, hiding in the ditch without moving, and after a night of worry, everyone was tired, and they had to stay all day, the best thing to pass the time was to sleep, so that they could recuperate, but not everyone could sleep, someone needed to be vigilant, Li Dingguo gestured to let his subordinates sleep in batches.

………

For a military camp, most of them are tight on the outside and loose on the inside, the reason is very simple, there are people on guard outside, and if there is anything, the brothers outside will deal with it first, and under this kind of psychology, the internal defense is looser than the outside defense.

The people inside are not only much more relaxed, but also much higher in terms of treatment, such as the pro-soldiers guarding the Hongyi cannon, they are not only paid high, but also different from ordinary soldiers in terms of food.

The old guy is the cook who delivers supper.

"Damn, that old turtle must be out of a thousand, or Lao Tzu will lose one night, and he will almost lose his pants." This night, the old guy was hurrying away with his supper, and he chattered in his mind.

The old guy's family died in the war, and now he is a person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, and he likes to gamble second-hand on weekdays, and this night he lost all the money he just received, not to mention the pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold the old turtle who won his silver, it was an old man with a very short neck, like a turtle so he was called an old turtle, and his luck was very strong tonight.

"Get out of the way" When the old man had just passed a fork in the road, a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly walked out next to him, and he couldn't help but walk in front, and whispered at the old man to give way.

The old guy didn't dare to say anything, because he heard that the person who said this had a Shaanxi accent, and most of the people with a Shaanxi accent were the personal soldiers of General Pingxi, and these people didn't dare to provoke.

Hey, suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up, and he saw a person walking at the back of the patrol with a money bag behind his waist, I don't know if he was in a hurry when gambling money, not tied steadily, shaking, shaking, and about to fall.

Drop, drop, drop, hurry up, the old guy kept calling in his heart, and now he was in a hurry to turn over the money, I don't know if he heard the old guy's call, the money bag shook twice, and suddenly fell into the grass next to him, which made the old guy's heart beat faster, and the guy who dropped the money was unaware.

The old man deliberately slowed down, and after the patrol passed, the old man with bright eyes immediately put down the food box, and immediately went to the grass with a lantern to look for the fallen money bag.

Just when the old man looked down to look for the money bag, a person suddenly flashed out of the darkness, this person was dressed in black and only showed a pair of bright eyes, glanced at the old man who was happily picking up money, took out a bag of white powder from his arms, poured it into the soup can silently, and mixed it with his fingers a few times, and then gently restored the food box to its original state, and calmly retreated before the old man returned.

"One tael, two taels, five taels, well, there are more than 30 copper coins here, hehe, it's gone, it's almost worth my two months' salary, it's really blessed by the God of Wealth." The old man finished counting the silver, put it in his arms with a smile, and muttered in his mouth: "I found a treasure on the ground, but I can't find it." ”

The old guy who was just looking for money didn't notice that people were doing things on his food box, and he didn't expect that the team of people patrolling ahead of him just turned a corner and quietly disappeared into the flowers on the side of the road, he was just a small person, and he didn't have so many thoughts.

Take the cook's salary to do the cook's business, where to worry so much, but the old guy didn't expect that sometimes small people can also change big events.

After picking up the silver, the old man happily picked up the burden full of food boxes again, and whistled to deliver supper to those pro-soldiers and grandfathers. (To be continued......)
