"My lord, I am about to act, what do you have to say?" Wang Yongdao.

"I don't have time to say it now, I'll talk about it on the road, and act when the opportunity comes." Song Nan took off his helmet, took off the cloak on his body, and untied the armor on his body again.

Everyone was stunned together, and Wang Yong said, "My lord, this is?" ”

"I'm going to go in person, not because I'm not worried about you, it's because this matter is related to the success or failure of tomorrow's war, and I have to go in person to feel at ease." Song Nan took off his armor as he spoke, and motioned for Ye Fanggu to come over and help him tie his hairband.

Xu Tai Wang Yong was stunned, and Wang Yong said angrily: "How can the adults not believe what they say? If you don't want to go, you run away and go on an adventure. You are the commander in chief of the army, and you want to stay here to control the overall situation, how can you run to danger at every turn. ”

Xu Tai also said: "My lord, is this inappropriate? This is a deep into the military camp of 100,000 Tartars, and it is difficult to say something unpleasant, the possibility of success in this matter is very small, and once the Tartars find out, it will be difficult to get out. Adults can't be impulsive. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "That's how you guys view this operation?" This operation must be successful, otherwise you and I and more than 10,000 brothers will not survive the arrival of reinforcements tomorrow, this operation is not a child's play, nor is it a test to see if it can succeed, but it must be successful, you must understand this. ”

Wang Yong said: "Even so, you can take your brothers with you, and you don't have to go." ”

Song Nan said: "Let me ask you, do you know where the Tartar's flying eagle cannon is?" ”

Wang Yong shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's nothing more than the mountains occupied by the Tartars." ”

Song Nan snorted and said: "There are more than a dozen mountains, large and small, each of which may be hidden, if you look for them one by one, I am afraid that you will not be able to find them until dawn." And as soon as the day dawns, there is no more chance. Also, what would you do if you found the Tartar's Eagle cannon? ”

Wang Yong scratched his head and said, "Smash? No, it's all lumps of iron. Pushed into a ravine? It doesn't seem to work out, the Tartars can be used again when they are brought up, by the way, dig a pit and bury it, so that they can't find it. ”

Song Nan was angry and funny, sighed and said: "I'm afraid you don't believe that you can do this method, that's a hundred thousand battalions of Tartars, can you think of some strange methods?" Those dozens of big guys are difficult to deal with, and it is in vain to find them helpless. ”

Xu Tai said: "Maybe you can disassemble some parts and throw them away, so that the cannon can't be fired." ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "What Xu Tai said is a bit to the point, but it doesn't work. Our Ming army carried firearms to the battlefield, even if it was a firearm such as the Zhankou General Cannon, it would carry spare parts, and special personnel would follow it and replace it at any time. The Condor cannon of the Tartars must also be equipped with parts and replacement repairers, and it is useless to disassemble the parts, they replace them with new ones and continue to fire. ”

Everyone understood that what Song Nan said was true, and they were speechless for a while.

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't waste time, there is still more than an hour before dawn, and time is pressing." Aunt Fang, come and help me tie my headband. ”

Ye Fanggu sighed in her heart, after all, it was difficult to stop Song Nan from going on an adventure, but she also understood the current form, and followed the army all the way through several hard battles, and she finally understood the various risky moves that Song Nan had made before, it turned out that many times it was a last resort, for the sake of victory, for the sake of survival, Song Nan would make such a choice.

Song Nan tied up a hairband, put on a tights, and put on thin-soled fast boots under his feet, just like the clothes of the guards, but found that at some point, Ye Fanggu also pulled up the green silk behind her head, and changed into a tight clothes in the narrow cubicle behind the straw curtain; Song Nan frowned and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Ye Fanggu ignored it, hugged her fists at Wang Yong and said, "Lord Wang, the villain requests to participate, please ask Lord Wang to agree." ”

Wang Yong smacked his lips and looked at Song Nan, Song Nan shook his head helplessly, that night Ye Fanggu said that if she wanted to go on an adventure, she would follow the words that came to her mind, so she didn't waste time, waved her hand and said, "Action." ”

The jade rabbit slopes westward, and as dawn approaches, the moonlight gradually becomes dim; In a dark corner where no one was around, everyone put down the five-zhang high city wall with a long rope and quietly came to the north of the Great Wall. The land of the trefoot is full of thorns and stones, and logically speaking, the land that is set foot on is no longer the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the place beyond the Great Wall is the outer land.

Song Nan led everyone along the hillside cat's waist slowly, but the direction was towards the flank of the Tartar army.

While being careful not to make a noise under his feet, Song Nan whispered to the people around him: "The Condor cannons have a long range, and the mountains here are difficult to travel, so the Tartars will definitely set them up in a place where they can hit the Great Wall without needing to move forward with too much effort." Roughly speaking, it is three miles away from the Great Wall, where it belongs to the rear of the Tartars. ”

Wang Yong seemed to be a little enlightened, and whispered: "This Condor cannon needs to be visually aimed, and the field of vision must not be bad, so the place where it is placed must be on the mountainside or some flat ground on the top of the mountain, and it will definitely not be visited between the valleys." Do you say yes, sir? ”

Song Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Completely correct." Another thing to forget is that if the Tartars want to break through the defenses of the Great Wall, the Condor cannons are the weapons they rely on, so they must also be under the heavy protection of the Tartars, and it is unlikely that they will be on the sides or edges of the Tartar camp. So, we can roughly pinpoint where they are. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, it was originally like looking for a needle in a haystack, but now after Song Nan lightly said a few words, it immediately dawned on him, it turned out that after a shrewd brain analysis, things would be much simpler. But this brain's ability to analyze is not something that everyone has.

"Then why did we go to the Tartar flank? If I hadn't lost my way, the direction we were walking seemed to be due north, not the direction in which the Condor cannon was placed. Ye Fanggu said in a low voice.

Song Nan had no intention of laughing at her, but there was still a bit of ridicule in her tone: "Didn't Aunt Fang want us to walk to the 100,000 Tartar camp with such a swagger?" The front of the Tartar must be very vigilant, and we will be spotted if we are not careful, and the flanks will also be very low because they are on the side of the battlefield, so we can easily succeed. ”

"What do you mean...... We're going to attack the Tartars on the flanks? Wang Yong was stunned.

Song Nan corrected: "It's not an attack, it's a sneak attack; We will be quickly recognized by our night suits when we walk in the dense Tartar barracks, and we must get a Tartar armor to put on, so that we can go deep into the rear of the Tartar camp, and maybe unimpeded. ”

Only then did everyone understand that Song Nan wanted Qiao to pretend to be a Tartar soldier and enter the barracks, and it was good to wear a night suit to break inside, but it was not necessarily successful, because the Tartar soldiers were also organized, and the soldiers and horses to which they belonged were not allowed to camp together, and the uniforms were not the same, and there was also a danger of exposure.

Wang Yong whispered his worries to Song Nan, and Song Nan nodded and said: "You can only take one step at a time, and it is better to quietly capture a few Tartar soldiers along the way, and ask them for their passwords and the rules of the army." ”

Everyone rolled their eyes, it turned out that Song Nan was also bottomless, and the guards who had followed Song Nan for a long time were not very surprised, Lord Song's adventurous action almost went wrong, and it was not a matter of one or two times, but it was always possible to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious, and it was useless to worry about it, just listen to the command.

While they were talking, they had come to the side of a hill on the flank, and they were lying down in the long grass and looking up, but they saw that many felt tents had been set up on the slopes of the mountainside, with some lights and bonfires flashing, and there seemed to be a sound of talking.

Wang Yong didn't wait for Song Nan's instructions, so he took a dozen brothers to search around, and came back and reported in a low voice: "My lord, there are no guard posts around. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "It's strange that the Tartars don't arrange a night guard sentry, which is too careless." ”

"I don't think we're going to come down from the Great Wall and attack us, and I don't think it's necessary to set up a sentry." Wang Yongdao.

Song Nan thought about it and gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "No matter, let's take down the tents on the hillside in front of me first, Wang Yong, your subordinates are neat, and you can't make a noise to let the Tartars near the left know." ”

Wang Yong nodded slowly, waved his hand to gather the guards around him, and crawled along the hillside to a few tents on the gentle hillside a hundred steps away, Song Nan turned around and wanted to talk to Ye Fanggu, but found that his side was empty, and Ye Fanggu had disappeared. Song Nan hurriedly looked to the side, and saw Ye Fanggu biting a short sword in her mouth, her body prostrate on the ground, and she was climbing up the hillside behind Wang Yong and others. Song Nan swallowed and foamed, sighed, this lady like to fight and kill things because she has martial arts, although she has changed a lot over the years, Song Nan feels that she has never really conquered her.

The battle on the hillside started in an instant, and it ended instantly, seven or eight tents suddenly suffered an extremely swift attack, and the Tartars inside were quickly subdued, when Song Nan climbed up, there were more than a dozen corpses lying in several tents, and more than a dozen Tartars shrank together in panic, their faces full of panic.

Song Nan was surprised that they were dressed as ordinary herdsmen, how could there be any armor and blades, the dead and the captives were all dressed the same, although they were all men, but there were actually drooping old men among them, and there were two drooping children.

"My lord, these people don't look like Tartars' soldiers and horses, but like people captured by the army." Wang Yong was puzzled.

Song Nan squatted down and approached an old man with bleeding nostrils and asked, "Who are you?" With neither armor nor blades, how can these two armies face each other on the battlefield? ”

The old man trembled and said, "Immortal God blesses, the eldest master spares his life." ”

Song Nan said: "Say, if you say it, I will spare your lives." ”

The old man swallowed and spitted at the mouth: "We, we are all ordinary herdsmen, we were captured by the second prince with the army, we can't help it, we have never killed you Mingren, the eldest lord spares his life." ”

Song Nan's heart moved, and he continued to ask, "What is the duty of your stationing on this hillside?" ”

The old man said: "Thousands of herdsmen of our Horqin tribe are on the two mountains near the left, because they can't fight without blades and armor, so they can only cook food and water for the army here, and we have to dig fortifications and open mountain roads for them during the day, and we don't do anything else." ”

Song Nan straightened up, with a look of sudden realization on his face, and a question that lingered in his heart was solved.
