Only by being on the scene did Zhu Yongxing truly appreciate how difficult it was to fight on Gaoligong Mountain. The top of the mountain is cloudy and mist, and the cold is pressing, and people shiver from the cold; There is no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter on the mountainside, which is considered a spring climate; At the foot of the mountain, the sun is scorching, and you can sweat profusely and nibble on watermelons. In such an environment where the seasons change rapidly, it is the will of the soldiers that is more tested than the combat strength.

Moreover, it is not yet the rainy season, and the man-eating locusts have not yet come out, and the time has not yet come to turn the beautiful Ruchun mountainside into a colder than the Yama Temple. Gaoligong Mountain in the rainy season is far from being as simple as not bringing an umbrella to drench a chicken in soup on weekdays. The same wet clothes will become a life-threatening noose for countless people in Gaoligong Mountain.

Zhu Yongxing did not dare to hope that the soldiers under his command would have the disgusting tenacity of the Japanese devils, let alone that they would have the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was inspired by the tenacity, courage, and tenacity in history, and was not at all afraid of the Japanese devils, who were known for their courage to die.

The journey from Tengchong to Gaoligong Mountain will become muddy during the rainy season, making it extremely difficult to transport supplies, which are not particularly sufficient, and Zhu Yongxing certainly does not dare to imagine that his soldiers will be like the Japanese devils who rely on eating the corpses of their comrades to hold on.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yongxing reluctantly found that no matter whether the resistance was strong or not, and whether the Qing army retreated, once the rainy season came, his best choice was to retreat, and withdraw from this beautiful and strange Gaoligong Mountain.

What is this called, it should be called "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice"! There is no strong army in his hands that dares to fight, brave and tenacious, even if he has a lot of whimsical ideas and many tactical tactics that are ahead of the times, he cannot do it with all his might. Just like Taizu, if he is given a group of baby soldiers, he will not be able to give full play to the essence of guerrilla warfare!

Now the situation is similar, the ambush position chosen is not the most favorable hilltop, but the next most mountainside, taking into account the impact of the climate and environment on the troops. Although Zhu Yongxing made some preparations in advance, it was obviously unrealistic to ask people living in subtropical areas to come up with enough clothing and bedding to withstand the cold winter.

Thinking about it and weighing it, Zhu Yongxing didn't know when he fell asleep again. At this time, the clouds in the east are turning white and brightening, and the sun is about to burst out of the new day.

……………

The morning fog cleared in the sunlight and cleared the surrounding landscape. The wildflowers in the grass flaunted their colors towards the rising sun, and the scent of aroma dissolved and evaporated in the heat, but there was a dead silence all around.

After the midnight trek, the Qing army looked a little sluggish, the chicken-like mountain roads were rugged and difficult to walk, and in some places there were no roads at all, so they could only cut down weeds and branches to make a way. Even if you advance lightly, the armor must be carried, and now the armor bag is as heavy as a hill on the back, which shows that the energy of the Qing army has been exhausted.

Wang Jinbao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around for a while, and waved his hand to order the soldiers to move on. He didn't know that the troops needed to take a break, but the surrounding environment was not suitable, and the drinking water he carried with him was consumed very quickly during the arduous march, and there was not much left. He had to find a source of water before he could stop his troops and regain their strength.

The complex terrain of the mountains and valleys made Wang Jinbao feel that it would be a difficult task to outflank him, and in this place where the rocky cliffs were clustered and the jungle was dense, he could not see where the gray slopes were, and could only roughly judge that they had bypassed there and entered the belly of the mountain.

Despite this, Wang Jinbao did not lose confidence, but felt that the outflanking had been successful for most of the time, and the enemy should not be aware of it, otherwise he would not have set up an ambush in the dangerous place he passed.

The sun became hotter, the footsteps of the Qing army became heavier, the terrain was high and low, the trees on both sides of the trail were dense and grassy, and the mountain grass was as high as two meters. In some areas, there are low thorn bushes, and in other places there are steep canyons. Strictly speaking, it is not a canyon, but a gap between two strange rock cliffs.

The sound of ding-dong was faintly audible, it was the sound of running water. After concluding that it was not the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, Wang Jinbao secretly called God to bless him, and he shouted happily: "Brothers, there is a small river ahead, speed up!" ”

Hoping to give strength to the tired and thirsty Qing army, they turned into a path, which was a canyon several meters wide, dozens of meters high, no more than forty or fifty meters long, looking upward, the sunlight projected from above, making people dizzy and palpitating.

Looking further ahead, a small stream gushed merrily out of the mountain crevice, making a tinkling sound, and the green snake meandered like a snake in no knowing where it flowed. After stopping and observing for a moment, the Qing soldiers who took the lead entered the canyon, and they had already reached a dangerous place, and although the terrain here could also be ambushed, it was nothing in their hearts.

When the Chinese army led by Wang Jinbao arrived at the mouth of the canyon, the vanguard of the Qing army had already passed through, screaming happily and running towards the clear stream. Their actions undoubtedly brought encouragement and set an example for the Qing army behind, and even Wang Jinbao was infected.

Zhu Yongxing gave up the ambush arrangement in several dangerous places, and the intention of taking care of the Ming army made Wang Jinbao lower his vigilance. It gave him the illusion that the roundabout outflanking was completely unexpected by the enemy, and that there would be no trouble other than a difficult road.

The Qing army poured into the canyon in a steady stream, the front passed, the Chinese army passed for the most part, and the rearguard began to rush to the exhilarating sweet stream, for the suffocating and thirsty soldiers who crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains and drilled out of the ancient trees and old forests, the dingdong of the stream was the most beautiful and refreshing song.

Suddenly, a dark cloud obscured the sunlight casting, and a boulder fell from the sky, smashing several excited Qing soldiers to death or injury. In the screams, the stones on the canyon fell one after another, and the screams of the Qing army came one after another, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

Ambush! Wang Jinbao had just tasted the clear and cool stream water, and the joy in his heart was driven away without a trace by the sudden attack, and his heart couldn't help but "chuckle", a kind of fear with shock hit his heart, and his body and mind seemed to be soaked in the stream, and the cold instantly filled the whole body.

The rain of stones kept falling, not only slaughtering the Qing troops in the canyon, but also clogging the roads. But the Qing troops who passed through the canyon had nothing to do but watch, because they could not find a way to the top of the canyon.

"The whole army is in armor, and the front army is ready to attack, rushing up the mountain." Wang Jinbao's roar woke up the Qing army, who was at a loss for what to do.
