"You're beautiful!" Li Dan put down the bowl and wiped his mouth: "You came here so late, you must not have come to me to brag, right?" ”

As soon as he said this, Mr. Sheng was immediately discouraged. "Damn, this bandit just doesn't want us to have a reprieve from it.

As soon as I pressed this head, it got up again!

No, Fengqi Guan sent someone to report to me, saying that 4,000 bandits suddenly appeared under the pass, and there were only more than 300 brothers guarding the pass, and told us to hurry up and join him. ”

"Only three hundred people in the close?" Li Dan was surprised.

"yes!" Sheng Huaien also felt that this matter made people scratch their heads.

"Fengqi Guan was originally set up a card for tax collection, and he never thought about fighting a big battle.

After Shangrao was tight, two teams of reinforcements were transferred from the Guangxin Guard to have 300 people.

Fortunately, it is located on the north mountain, the terrain is steep, and it is inconvenient to attack, but the top of the mountain is so big with a radius of 200 steps, even if you want to put more people, it is impossible.

Lin Baihu went to Fengqi Pass, and he said that the village was only two feet of earth wall, and a wooden fence was erected on it as a fence.

Even if it has good terrain, it will definitely not be able to hold it after a long time! ”

"If you want to say that, how can we save it? Send ten or twenty? It's not a big deal. Li Dan spread his hands in embarrassment.

Sheng Huaien sighed, turned his wine bowl upside down, and took the rice bowl in front of Li Dan as well. Say:

"I've discussed it with Kobayashi, and that's the only way to do it.

You see, this is the North Mountain where the Guanzhai is located, and that is the South Mountain. This is the town of Fengling. I put a few chopsticks on the table, and I think it's the Mayan River.

The river turns a bay along Nanshan to the west of Fengling Town, see? If you don't go to Fengqi Pass, at least two more trips to the river will have to cross the Nanshan Mountain. ”

"Well, so if you just want to collect taxes, it's enough to set up a fence on the narrow side of the North Mountain Road, but you may not be able to stand up to a strong enemy attack, right?"

"Yes!" Sheng Huaien was very happy to see him understand so quickly, and patted the edge of the table and pointed and said:

"So, our key is in Nanshan!

The terrain of the South Mountain is higher than the North Mountain, and there is a Laifeng Pavilion on the top of the mountain, and if you take it, you can control and overlook the entire battlefield.

If Nanshan is lost, people will send a few people to surround the village below, and they will not call the upper side to harass them, and then the brigade will spend some effort to make two more trips to the river, and he can also come over Nanshan with his baggage on his shoulders.

If we are unlucky, we will walk halfway, and if we are lucky, we will shrink in this temple, no matter what, we will have to face a strong enemy, and the terrain advantage will be equal to the numerical advantage of the upper family, at least the two sides will be even. ”

"Understood. Therefore, your opinion is to strike first, seize Laifeng Pavilion, and seize the initiative.

Moreover, in this way, the south and the north echo, and it is difficult for the enemy to continue to surround the fortress, as long as they retreat, the crisis will be resolved. Right? ”

"That's right, if they don't want to be beaten passively, they have to retreat, or even retreat to Fengling Town!"

"But ......." Li Dan looked up at Sheng Huaien: "In this way, Nanshan will be attacked by the enemy, otherwise they won't be able to take Beishan!" ”

"That's right." Sheng Huaien slapped his big hand on the table: "How about it, it's very dangerous, do you want to do it?" ”

Li Dan slowly raised his hand to stroke the back of his head, and suddenly asked, "By the way, where are the 1,200 people who built the road hiding now?" The bandits' attack on Beishan won't affect them, right? ”

"Rest assured. They are all concentrated in Sanjialong at the foot of the West Mountain to rest for a mile, why do you want to use it? ”

"I'm thinking about three things," Li Dan said, crossing his arms.

"One, how not to alarm the enemy to raid Nanshan and occupy Laifeng Pavilion?

Second, build a fortress in Nanshan as fast as possible, so that the enemy army is helpless here?

Third, how to transfer the grain, grass, and baggage to the hands of the Shangrao defenders? ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed with his hand: "The most important thing in this is to seize the Feng Pavilion."

Now that the enemy has just arrived at the pass, and they find that there are not many defenders on the pass, they may not pay too much attention to Nanshan for the time being.

But suppose they find out that reinforcements are coming and realize the importance of Nanshan and take the first step, then everything will be over!

So whether they are fast or we are fast will decide the survival of Fengqiguan and the three hundred officers and brothers! ”

"Saburo is extremely right!" Sheng Huaien clapped his hands:

"That's why I came to see you tonight. If we procrastinate and leave tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help! ”

"Can you march at night......?" Li Dan looked at General Sheng: "Can those officers and soldiers under you do it?" ”

"Here's the trouble." Sheng Huaien sighed and leaned back in the chair and smiled bitterly: "We have touched it up and down, and there are only 100 people who can see clearly and walk at night, what can this manpower do?" ”

"So you're coming to me for counsel?" Li Dan nodded: "Lao Sheng, don't spit out, what are your plans?" ”

"Me?" Sheng Huaien smiled: "I just want to come and borrow troops from you, I heard that your people can walk at night?" ”

Li Dan shook his head: "The dozens of people who followed me at the beginning must be fine, but later you handed over Zhao Cheng's people to me, and those people who ate meat for many days should not be a big problem."

Others are not easy to say, neither know nor have tried.

The right camp and the rear camp have water people and Orion backgrounds, and it is estimated that it is possible to gather thirty or fifty people. But that's not enough to fight against 4,000 enemies, right? ”

"Alas, this is a real person! So what to do? Sheng Huaien scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Don't worry, I'll call a few brothers to discuss. It's better for everyone to think together than two of us. ”

After speaking, Li Dan called Brother Mao Zai to come in and asked him to invite the three battalion leaders, Ma Jiu, and several team leaders from the front battalion, as well as Zhao Jingzi, Huang Qin, and Master Ba to discuss the matter.

Brother Mao was just about to turn around and go out when he was stopped again, Li Dan added:

"You go and ask Mr. Shigezhi if he knows the terrain over there at Fengqi Pass? If he's familiar, please tell me about it! ”

After a short time, several groups of people came in the hall one after another.

When everyone heard that there was another war, they immediately became excited, like cats who had tasted fresh fish. But when they heard that there were 4,000 people on the other side, they were all quiet again.

"Defense, let's cut off the three rivers one-on-one, and we may not be able to fight against four thousand people or I'm not sure." Xiao Wanhe shook his head and said as he pondered the words.

Although he was still not satisfied with his fishing this time, this did not mean that he would use his brothers in his battalion to fight for the officers and soldiers. These are two different things!

"Lao Xiao, don't be afraid of this, don't you just fight again?" Tan Zhongxuan disagreed:

"I think let's listen to what Master Sheng means first, but now we have a small 2,000 victorious division, and the morale can be used!"

"You think you're invincible in the world just after a battle? The casualties in this battle were not large, but the whole army together lost 200 people. If this is against 4,000 bandits, then ....... Xiao Wanhe looked at everyone and didn't say any more.

"Well, Xiao Yingzheng is not unreasonable, we are late in the army, and it is a fluke to win this battle.

This is still the result of the ring by ring design to put the three rivers in it.

He is the leader of the navy and has to come to fight a land battle, and he deserves to be unlucky! Li Dan's words caused everyone to laugh.

The atmosphere became more lively, and he continued: "But the casualties are not small, especially in the middle of the game, very tenacious!"

In the end, Lao Xiao suddenly killed from the east, which I really didn't expect.

You Sanjiang panicked, he was hit by a firearm at this moment! ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Li Dan nodded at the upside-down bowl on the table and said, "But let's think about it, if you don't save the officials and soldiers on the table, what will be the result?" ”

Needless to say? Everyone looked at each other, and Master Ba said: "The four thousand bandits will go down the mountain directly, we will either stay here and fight them, or throw away the baggage and run back to Geyang!" ”

"I can't run, where are I going?" Xiao Wanhe smiled bitterly:

"There are still miles of water on the road further east, and we all come here on rafts, but you can't do anything about livestock and carts, and you can't throw them all to others!"

One sentence negates the possibility of retreat, and there is only one way left.

"Since we can't retreat and have to face them in the end, why don't we take the initiative?" Li Dan said:

"Lord Shan's opinion is to raid and take Nanshan opposite Guanzhai, occupy the commanding heights of Laifeng Pavilion, threaten the flank of the bandits, and force them to let go of their mouths biting Fengqi Pass and retreat to the opposite side.

It is better to face each other across the Mayan River on both sides, or they will retreat to Fengling Town. ”

"Eh, that's a good plan!" A few people nodded again and again when they heard this, and Sheng Huaien stroked the tiger's whiskers with a look on his face.

Although he was not familiar with the local situation, after listening to Lin Baihu's introduction, he put forward this direction with many years of combat experience, and it should be said that he still reacted quickly and was quite decisive.

"Is this Nanshan easy to guard?"

"Why don't you just go to Beishan and join the defenders?"

"Well, what happens after we take Nanshan, can't the bandits still attack us directly?"

Several voices asked.

"Defense, can I say a few words to you?"

Li Dan looked at the sound and saw that Wu Mao had come at some point, and was leaning against the door frame with his hands folded. "Brother Maocai, please come in and talk at the table!" He immediately shouted hello.

Someone got up to give way, and Wu Mao thanked him one by one and came to the front.

For the convenience of the discussion, Kuroki deliberately lit two torches and fixed them on the pillars on both sides, and the room was much brighter than the original oil lamp.

"What does it smell like?" Zhao Jingzi sniffled.

"Horse oil." Kuroki grinned as he pointed to the torch. It turned out that what the migrant workers ate tonight was meat taken from the mules and horses that died in battle.

Kuroki wrapped rags around the branches, stained with boiled grease. Although the light was bright, the smell was so smoky that Emperor Zhao had to change to the door.

"Please listen to me," Wu Mao pointed and said, "I passed through Fengqi Pass many times when I went down to Shangrao and Guangxin.

The North Mountain is lower than the South Mountain, so Li Defense said that to occupy the South Mountain is to seize the commanding heights.

Although the north mountain is low, there are steep straight walls on all sides, similar to the situation of the west mountain here, which is nearly four zhang high, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, the upper table is actually not large, only enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

It's useless for us to go up, because there is no place to stand so many people, and I guess that's why Master Sheng proposed to occupy Nanshan. ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced back, and Sheng always stroked his stomach and nodded.

Wu Mao continued: "The Mayan River meanders along the mountain, in fact, there is a western mountain in this place, but it is only a few feet higher than the stream, so it is not dangerous.

There are three or two families on it, and there are several vegetable patches, and taro is planted by the river.

There is a small road in the lotus pond behind the West Mountain, which is branched off from the official road, and then along the river through the West Mountain, there is a wooden plank bridge across the river to the northeast, and the bridge is the sunny slope of the South Mountain.

Adults and defenses want to occupy Nanshan, and it is easy to be discovered by taking the official road, so I suggest taking the path behind this West Mountain, which can be unexpected! ”

"How far is Banqiao to the top of the mountain?" Zhou Qin asked.

"Less than a mile!" Wu Mao added: "After arriving at the north slope, there is a big stone in the right hand, the face is as smooth as a mirror, and the words 'come to Fengtianfeng' are engraved on it.

Three hundred steps from the stone pedal path next to it is to come to the Feng Pavilion. The crowd whispered and talked a lot.

Brother Maocai said very clearly. But I have a concern. Since Nanshan is a key place to watch, it is not stupid to be afraid of the enemy.

He may have sent a small number of people to come to the Feng Pavilion there, and advised the adults and the defense to be careful! Master Ba said.

"Makes sense." Mr. Sheng nodded to Li Dan: "So pay attention during the operation, don't let the enemy spy on the truth, and it's bad to see the clues!" ”

"If that's the case, the brigade can only go here." Wu Mao took another bowl and buckled it:

"Assuming this is the West Mountain, its south side is slightly protruding, and on the top is the Dragon King Temple built by Dongyan Village.

The brigade had to stop when it came here, because if it went any further, it would go around the foot of the mountain without shelter, and if there was really a lookout post on the Feng Pavilion, he would find out. ”

"Okay, then it's settled!" Li Dan got up, and everyone stood up at a glance.

"Gentlemen, the Sanjiang Department has been annihilated this morning, and they were originally going to cooperate with the attack on Fengqi Pass.

If the enemy army waits for the Sanjiang River to not arrive, it will be suspicious, so we should do it sooner rather than later!

I am now assigning tasks and will come to me when everyone has any questions. Brother Maocai, Master Ba, you two are careful to see if there are any omissions in what I said.

We will dispatch the whole army tonight according to the strategy of Lord Sheng, and pounce on it with lightning speed!

First of all, let's let the brothers with good vision at night pull the livestock, use the carriage and cattle to pull the team to the lotus pond, and put down Lin Baihu here first.

Lord Shan, since there are not many footholds on the mountain, I suggest that Lin Baihu take the hundred officers and soldiers who can travel at night to reinforce Beishan.

The rest of the people turned onto the path to the south foot of the West Mountain, and we first occupied the West Mountain as the heel and stored the grain in the Dragon King Temple;

Two teams were sent to attack Nanshan, one team was responsible for searching to ensure that it was safe and quickly alerted to the direction of the enemy camp, and the other went up the mountain to capture Fengge. ”

"Zhang cymbals, Xianfu (Zhao Jingzi), you two take the team to come to Fengge!" Li Dan assigned, and the two were overjoyed.

"After taking down the Phoenix Pavilion, immediately use the light to send back the signal, two short and one long."

"Gu Da and Yang Yi led the team to search the whole mountain to confirm whether it was safe, and then went west to guard the enemy, and the fire and arrow team followed behind them to occupy a favorable position and cover at any time.

Lao Song's team followed up and came up to Fengge to strengthen the defense of the mountaintop.

If all goes well and the sky begins to lighten, the grand man will lead the officers and troops forward to the north slope for defense.

Two hundred people from the four teams of the rear battalion followed up and sealed the road up the mountain on the north slope with bamboo fences, traps and bamboo sticks. Be careful to bring your digging tools and keep them from making too loud noises. ”

Then Li Dan thought about it and pointed to the gap between Nanshan and Xishan and asked, "I don't know if this bridge can stop the big car?" ”

"It should be okay for an ordinary board truck to have two or three stone goods, but it's hard to say more." Wu Mao replied.

Li Dan nodded, and then said: "Okay, there are 100 people left in the rear camp, hold Banqiao, listen to instructions and make preparations, and send reinforcements to the mountain at any time."

Xishan is the backing of Fengqi Pass, and it cannot be guarded.

Ma Jiuye led the escort team to occupy the West Mountain to arrange a guard, and the left battalion set up a large camp with the Longwang Temple as the core, planning to build a shelter facility to accommodate the baggage, livestock and the wounded.

The right battalion was responsible for transporting prisoners and other supplies to the West Hill camp. Anyone's Questions? ”

"I have a problem." Xiao Wanhe raised his hand: "How big does it take for the left camp to build the Xishan camp?" I'm afraid we're going to run out of manpower. ”
