Chapter 048: The Enemy Is in the Shadows

"Absolutely no problem. In the thunderstorm half a month ago, General Ben tried to shoot a shot, hitting a cliff in the northwest corner, blasting a big hole, and the stone collapsed to the ground, which was quite powerful! Gong Changyu held a cannonball and quickly advanced the barrel, "Yu Qian, ignition-"

"General, this cannon doesn't need to be ignited. Pull this rope directly to launch. The guard in the armory room smiled.

"Oh oh, you don't need to ignite it, this Shenwu Flying Cannon is different from our Qinghe country's homemade artillery, I almost forgot about this stubble." Gong Changyu patted his head embarrassedly, "Then I'll shoot!" ”

"General, wait, the last general still has something unknown, this big guy let's pull down the mountain, isn't it too conspicuous?" Yu Qian asked according to the Shenwu Flying Cannon.

"This?" Gong Changyu put down the rope of the artillery and thought for a while, "Yes, you are going to send wild boars, the artillery you bring is too heavy, it is too slow, and it will attract the attention of the blue wolf army, so don't move." ”

"Yes, General. Then I'm leaving. Yu Qian clasped his fists and saluted.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the lethality of this artillery." Gong Changyu pulled the rope violently. The cannonball whistled out of the barrel, rushed into the air, and then drew a graceful parabola, hitting a four- or five-hundred-year-old maple tree three hundred meters away, exploding in an instant, and being set on fire by the maple tree that was divided into three, and then crashed to the ground, startling countless birds.

"General, that ancient tree has a diameter of three or four meters at breast height, and it was destroyed with just one shell, this artillery is too good, right?" Yu Qian's eyes widened, looking at the burning tree trunk in the distance.

"Not really. General Liu Tianyou has sent elite soldiers to protect Lenghu Mountain for some time, and I also learned that Entu reported that there was something delicious to eat, so I sent him some. Gong Changyu patted the dust on his clothes.

"Of course. General, it's not too early, so I'll retire first. After Yu Qian finished speaking, he led the soldiers forward.

"Be careful on the road, go and go back quickly." Gong Changyu shouted loudly while standing next to the artillery.

"Thank you, General." Yu Qian replied.

So, Yu Qian led 40 soldiers who were best at escaping, loaded the wild boar into a trailer, and went down the mountain along the post road.

Gong Changyu, Feng Jiaoer, and Zhu Shuiqiang stood on the commanding heights on the top of the mountain, watching them leave until they couldn't see their backs.

"Big brother, Yu went to Jingbei before, there are many auspicious ones, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back......" Zhu Shuiqiang scratched the back of his hand.

"Shui Qiang, you mouth...... Can't you say something auspicious? Gong Changyu raised his palm, wanting to give Zhu Shuiqiang a mouthful, hesitated for a few seconds, and then put it down, "I hope the journey is safe." ”

"Changyu, it's still early, we have to deploy as soon as possible, and all the soldiers are on alert. Every pass sent troops to guard ......," Feng Jiao'er looked around at the surrounding terrain of Lenghu Mountain.

"Boss, there is a post road and three trails in Lenghu Mountain, how can we have so many troops to guard it?" Gong Changyu's face was embarrassed, "Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack and defend with offense." ”

"The enemy is in the shadows, we don't know where they are, and we don't know when they will arrive at Lenghu Mountain, how will they attack?" Feng Jiao'er asked.

"General, what the military advisor said is not unreasonable, we have laid some ground and mines in the mountain pass, once the enemy enters the minefield and triggers *, they will not be exposed." Zhu Shuiqiang said.

"The Blue Wolf Alliance is not an ordinary army, they have a way to deal with the ground and mines, what we can think of, they will also think of." Gong Changyu shook his head.

"Luzhou City was broken by the ground and mines, and the minefield is foolproof, what can they do to crack it?" Zhu Shuiqiang looked dazed.

"Set fire to the mountain, the ground and mines will explode one after another when they are hot...... We can't do that. Gong Changyu still disagreed with Zhu Shuiqiang's plan, "We don't have the time, let alone the manpower to lay mines." ”

"Let's go back to the camp first-" Feng Jiao'er picked a few red dandelions, dragged them in her hands, and walked ahead.

Looking at the dandelion in Feng Jiao'er's hand, Gong Changyu suddenly realized: "It is very likely that the blue wolf coalition will bypass our defense, climb the rock from the Longtan Tiger's Den, descend from the sky, and take the night to kill us by surprise." ”

"The rocks in Longtan Tiger's Den are extremely steep, do they want to die?" Zhu Shuiqiang said.

"This is not difficult for the Blue Wolf Alliance. Zhu Shuiqiang, after dinner, you immediately bring 100 people, focusing on defending the Longtan Tiger's Den, there can be no mistake. Gong Changyu finally found a breakthrough.

"Order, General." Zhu Shui Qiang answered......

Back in the camp, Feng Jiao'er opened the topographic map of Lenghu Mountain, at a loss, she used to command a tough battle, and she had never defended, and she had no bottom in her heart. Gong Changyu couldn't read the topographic map anyway, so he sat on the side, drank a little wine, and didn't say a word.

"Changyu, you are talking. The soldier is yours, I'm just a supernumerary military advisor. Feng Jiao'er spoke.

"You have a lot of ink in your stomach, you participated in the Jinchuan Uprising, and you also have a share in conquering Shicheng, you have a lot more ideas than me, so you should command......" Gong Changyu didn't raise his eyelids.

"Let me carry everything, you're a little bloody, okay?" Feng Jiao'er snatched the wine glass from Gong Changyu's hand, "The big war is coming, you still have the heart to drink!" ”

"Boss, isn't there only a thousand people in the Blue Wolf Alliance, a small battle, is it necessary to be nervous?" Gong Changyu picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

"Don't drink it, if you drink it again, the sun will go down!" Feng Jiao'er was furious, and hurriedly grabbed Gong Changyu's wine jug, "Drunk, how can you fight the Blue Wolf Army?" ”

Gong Chang really met Feng Jiao'er when he came, so he had to put down the wine jug: "Boss, you guard the camp for me on the mountain, I will take a musket team to do mobile combat, and as soon as I find the enemy, I will solve them on the spot." ”

"Do you want to pull out those two flying cannons?"

"Of course. Hide them in the artemisia grass, come as much as you want, and hit as much as you want. ”

"What will happen once the Blue Wolf Army disperses its forces and comes in?"

"It's better to spread out, and I have a scattered style of play. In the bamboo forest and on those paths, I made people make traps, buried the ground and mines, and ambushed the archers, so that they would not return. ”

"Changyu, we are such a small number of people, too scattered, and we don't have the strength to fight the enemy."

"We are familiar with the terrain, and each of us has two thunderbolts, are we afraid that they will not succeed?"

"Again, I'm afraid it might be superfluous."

"Don't say it, I'll go first, in charge." Gong Changyu carried an armor-piercing gun, went out of the camp, ordered a team of men and horses and went down the mountain......

After nightfall, the entire Lenghu Mountain was quiet, a few lights were faintly lit in the camp, and Feng Jiao'er sat in the tent of the Chinese army, not sleepy at all.

The husband made a shift in the camp tent: "The weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire and candle ......"

The Lenghu Mountain camp was an "empty camp" at that time, leaving only more than 20 soldiers to guard the camp, Gong Chang encountered this dangerous move, if the blue wolf army touched the Chinese military tent and grabbed Feng Jiao'er, it would be quite passive.

On the side of the tiger's den in Longtan, the moonlight is hazy.

Two or three hundred wolf troops with torches cut down some bamboo trees, and soon set up a pontoon bridge, through which they walked directly to the edge of the cliff on the opposite bank.

A leader waved his hand, and a dozen people behind him took out the rope hook from his body and shook it, and hooked some miscellaneous trees on the cliff face, these people climbed very fast, and the work of a meal reached the top of the cliff, tied one end of the rope to a few big trees, and threw down the cliff, learned the nightingale to call a few times, and then hid in the grove, waiting for the people below to come up.

Zhu Shuiqiang, who was hiding in the grass not far away, saw all this clearly. As the number of people coming up continued to increase, Li Dayu couldn't help it anymore and wanted to shoot.

"Wait." Zhu Shuiqiang held down Li Dayu's musket.

"Lord, they're all coming up, we can't stand it." Li Dayu said.

"What's the hurry, as soon as the gun goes off, the blue wolf army below will know that there is a change and will not come up again." Zhu Shui Qiang set up the Zhuge crossbow, "This guy can fire seven arrows at a time, and we brought ten, and we can defeat a lot of them in the first round." And then the second round of musket attacks, got it? ”

"Okay." Li Dayu had no choice but to continue lying on his stomach and aim at the target.

There were more and more blue wolf troops from the cliff to the top of the mountain, and as soon as they came up, they dispersed, and Zhu Shuiqiang felt uneasy. He had been counting the number of the Blue Wolf Army, two hundred and sixty-eight, two hundred and sixty-nine......

When he counted to two hundred and ninety-nine, the commander of the Blue Wolf Army finally came up, and he immediately gathered all the people, stood in line, and then counted the number of people, one by one.

"Let's go!" After the commander finished speaking, he held a torch, carried a musket, and led the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army to Zhu Shuiqiang's side.

Two or three hundred people pounced at once, Zhu Shuiqiang felt a huge pressure, seeing that the blue wolf army was getting closer and closer, he held his breath, estimated that the opponent was within thirty steps, and stepped on the foot of Zhuge crossbow, and then ten bows and arrows were sent out in a row in more than ten seconds, hitting the target one by one. Seeing this, the rest of the crossbowmen also followed and fired their crossbow arrows, rushing at the blue wolf coalition in front and knocking down a large area.

When the blue wolf army understood what was going on, the muskets rang out again, and there were a large number of casualties, and more than half of them were lost at once.

"There's an ambush ahead, disperseβ€”" shouted the leader of the Blue Wolf Alliance.

The blue wolf army immediately calmed down, quickly dispersed, retreated more than two hundred steps, and raised their guns together to shoot at Zhu Shuiqiang. The musket used by the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Alliance was the latest rifle, which could be fired seven times at a time, and the firepower far exceeded that of the Qinghe Army, and soon Zhu Shuiqiang's side was dumbfounded, and twenty or thirty soldiers were slightly injured at once.

"Big brother, our muskets are too slow to fire, what should we do?" Li Dayu was so anxious that his head was sweating.

"Withdraw." Zhu Shuiqiang took the soldiers and withdrew to the back of a minefield in an orderly manner, quietly waiting for the blue wolf army......
