Although this Lou Shifan has the temper of a young master, he remembers every word of gold quite clearly.

When she came out, she called the most favored Ah Yan beside her, and commanded:

"Grandma Seven said, no one is allowed to talk nonsense about her situation and chew her tongue, otherwise she will be thrown into the toad pond and sink! Spread this word so that all who have seen us in the morning may hear it! ”

"Yes, Third Young Marshal. Do you have any other commands? ”

"To the outside world, it is said that the seventh grandmother is too damp and sick, and no one is seen."

"Yes, is there anything else?"

Lou Shifan looked at these big black eyes, and said in a low voice: "And from tonight, you will come to my tent to serve." ”

"Yes." Ah Yan lowered his head and paused for two breaths before agreeing.

Lou Shifan's big tent is next to it, only separated by a fence. He walked back to his tent and called one of his own soldiers, saying, "Go and ask the leopard, and say that I will ask him for advice on military affairs." ”

The word "please" made the leopard come quickly, and said in a hearty voice with a fist in his chest:

"Third young marshal, Chen came to listen to the dispatch, I don't know what the young marshal has to discuss? You're too polite, where do you use the word 'please'? ”

This is a sturdy man with sideburns and beard, thick eyebrows and a big mouth, and he is not tall, standing on the ground steadily, and he knows that he has martial arts on his body at a glance.

"Where is my politeness, Uncle Chen, you are polite, come, come, please take a seat!" Although Lou Shifan is arrogant, his ability to please people is not bad.

He pulled the leopard to sit down and said, "Uncle Chen and Qi Niang came to help me in the battle, but Qi Niang was damp last night, and soon after going out this morning, I felt dizzy and dizzy and couldn't stand on the horse, so I hurried back to the big tent to rest."

But the military situation is like fire and it can't be delayed, so I invite you to come here to discuss how to break this enemy in Nanshan. ”

The leopard nodded when he heard this: "This morning, I also went to the side of Nanshan to take a turn, and the officers and soldiers occupied the terrain, so this battle is not easy to fight." Fortunately, the third young marshal withdrew his troops here in time, otherwise it would be dangerous to be attacked by the enemy on his back! ”

He didn't say this explicitly, but it made Lou Shifan's back as uncomfortable as a worm crawling, and he quickly nodded and said:

"Yes, the Nanshan guard general surnamed Sheng is the general of the official army, and it is said that he is from the border army and has rich experience.

There is also a Geyang regimental defense envoy named Li Sanlang, who is extremely cunning and difficult at a young age. These two people are put together, and the terrain of Nanshan is dangerous, so it is difficult to attack. ”

"Such terrain, didn't the third young marshal think of occupying it at the beginning?"

"Well, I sent somebody up. But firstly, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to come so quickly, and secondly, I didn't expect so many to come, and they were attacking at night, so they lost ground that night. ”

The leopard smiled and nodded. In fact, he had already heard about the story from many soldiers, but he didn't want to expose him to his face, so he continued to talk about attacking the mountain.

When he heard that the gate had been reoccupied, and that Tuanlian had built a new rammed earth wall inside, he couldn't help frowning:

"These officers and soldiers are powerful, interlocking, pressing step by step, very old-fashioned, really not to be underestimated!" After speaking, he looked at Lou Shifan and hugged his fists:

"A certain original read Lou Shuai's biography, and thought that the young marshal underestimated the enemy, but now it seems that you can't be blamed on everything."

Lou Shifan hurriedly bowed his hand: "I hope that Uncle Chen will help break down a few words in front of his father, Shifan is grateful!" ”

"Don't give orders, when I go back later, I will send someone to send a letter to Lou Shuai.

It's just that the three young marshals, good words are easy to say, to really occupy Nanshan, defeat the official army and capture Fengqi Pass, and realize Lou Shuai's strategy of cutting off the grain road, encircling Shangrao, and breaking Guangxin, this is the fundamental! ”

"The little nephew can save it, everything is up to Uncle Chen!"

For Lou Shifan's humility and sincerity, the leopard put on the shelf of the elders and was also very satisfied with the performance of the other party. So the two of them gathered 200 soldiers, went out to the camp again to survey the field, and discussed the way to capture Nanshan.

At this hour, the fog in the mountain had dissipated, and the observation post on the Feng Pavilion suddenly discovered the movement of these two hundred people.

"My lord, the red flag is waving in the attic!" One of the soldiers rushed to the door and shouted.

Sheng Huaien didn't know where to pick up this strange novel, and he was reading it with relish. Although he is not a well-educated Confucian student, he is still enough to read this kind of book ink.

Hearing this, he jumped up from his chair, rushed to the bottom of the attic and asked a small flag officer, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, the brother above said that he saw a pair of enemy troops coming down from the camp to our mountain, and there were about 200 people."

"I'll go up and take a look, immediately send someone to pull the rope and pass the word, and ask Li Defense to come up and take a look!"

"Yes!"

It turned out that for the convenience of communication between the mountain and the mountain, Li Dan used the old trick of the east mountain of Lingyan Temple, and put a sentry on the stone ladder every other way, with a total of five sentry posts from bottom to top.

From this sentry post to the next sentry post, a few pieces of metal are hung on the rope, and as soon as the "bang" sound is pulled, the sentry knows that he is going to pass the word.

A sentence was passed from the top of the mountain to the Chinese army camp at the foot of the mountain, or vice versa from the Chinese army to Sheng Huaien's ears above, and it only took a hundred steps to run each way.

But if you give the order to climb up and down the mountain, it is impossible to go one way without half an hour.

Although such a communication system takes up several manpower, the advantage is that it is fast and fast, and can win the shortest response time for solving problems.

At first, Sheng Huaien didn't think so, and when he used it, he felt that this method was good, and it was really fast and convenient to pass on a word! It's a pleasure to use now.

"Defense, there is a word from above, there is movement in the enemy camp, please go up and take a look!" A herald burst into the tent and said.

Li Danzheng was listening to Huang Qin's report that he had recruited and selected fifteen archers from the people, and when he heard this, he immediately got up and said as he walked out:

"Okay, you hurry up and let them join the team and train, and see if you can pick out fifteen people from the captives, so that the archery team will be complete."

"I guess that's enough! The captives have already skipped two or three rounds, and the rest are crooked melons and cracked dates, and I'd rather not make do with it! Huang Qin shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, you can recruit hunters on the spot, or then wait until the next battle is over, anyway, there are only a lot more prisoners!"

Li Dan smiled and waved his hand to let him go down, and then called Wu Mao and Zhao Jingzi to come up the mountain.

After looking at the mountain for a while, the group of people below retreated to Dazhai again. Sheng Huaien invited everyone to come down from the attic, walk outside to stand in the thatched hall, and ask a few people: "What do you think?" ”

"The thief is very careful, he should be a veteran." Wu Mao said.

"This gang of thieves must not give up, and they want to avenge that girl!" Zhao Jingzi touched his cheeks.

These days, he has a long beard and no tools to repair it, so he feels quite unaccustomed.

"I think they won't attack in the morning now, and if they want to start fighting, they will run out of morning food, around noon."

"Xianfu is right!" Li Dan nodded: "I saw two enemy generals just now, the one riding the flower horse must be Lou Shifan, and the other one doesn't know who it is."

After five night detectives, he came back and said what the name of the deputy general called Jin was called the mountain leopard, I don't know if it was him? ”

"I have an idea." Wu Mao suddenly raised his head: "I just saw that they sent people into the water, they must be exploring the flow and depth of the water."

You say, will the enemy cross the river and attack? Or do you make a feint in the west one way, and suddenly cross the river to attack Laifeng Pavilion Road in the other? ”

"And then go straight to the north gate and occupy the north junction?" Li Dan gasped.

"San Lang, the cliff in the north is only to come to Fengge Road, it is difficult for them to perform, what do you have to worry about?"

"No, Master Shan," Zhao Jingzi hurriedly said, "I have personally gone to see it, and there is a section of cliff on the north side that has collapsed to form a slope.

It's not easy, but people can still come up, and it's much easier than climbing a steep wall. ”

"Really?"

Li Dan nodded: "We listened to what Dou Zongqi of the official army said, and went down to see if it was true." That's why I decided to build the north gate.

But now the north gate has just been raised, and the walls on both sides are only three feet, so it must be too late! If the enemy wants to attack here, it will hit us in the soft underbelly! ”

Sheng Huaien looked back at the position where the stone stairs came up, walked a few steps there, and asked with his finger, "Do you think they will take this road?" ”

"Judging from the actions just now, the enemy should not have discovered this path yet." Wu Mao said.

"Good! In that case," Sheng Huaien turned around and walked back: "You go down and arrange, and follow the plan that they will attack from the west across the bridge."

How about I select a team of elites to personally lead the team down and arrange it in the north gate as the second line of defense? ”

"It's nice to have a team of reinforcements, of course, but do you want to go into battle yourself?"

"Five thousand people is not a small number, it is enough to attack a county seat." Sheng Huaien frowned and said: "The people guarding the north gate are all officers and soldiers, so naturally it is safest for me to go down and command in a unified manner." ”

Li Dan looked at Zhao Jingzi and Wu Mao, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll transfer Ma Jiu's escort team up again, and the Chinese army is on standby at any time to reinforce your side!" ”

Sheng Huaien was overjoyed: "This is better!" ”

"Then Xianfu went to pass the order, and left two hundred people in the front camp to guard the Xishan camp, and one hundred people reinforced Fengqi Pass to cooperate with the action of the right battalion.

You take Heimu to the right battalion, Zhou Ying is wounded, his original battalion deputy Zhu Erye is now going to the engineering team, you two temporarily serve as his battalion deputies, don't let him charge into battle in person. ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Jingzi turned around and hurriedly went down the mountain to execute.

"Brother Maocai, you take Yishi to Xiaobeiqiu to supervise the battle, urgently transfer a copper gun to the northeast, and if necessary, you can concentrate firepower to block Laifeng Pavilion Road."

Wu Mao agreed, turned his head and left.

Li Dan bowed his hand to Sheng Huaien: "Do you have any other instructions?" ”

"Brother Xian, it is not easy for you and me to come to this day hand in hand!" Sheng Huaien sighed and looked at the mountains:

"To have the opportunity to fight against 5,000 bandits with hundreds of officers and 1,000 regiments, my Sheng Huaien is worth living!

Anyway, I can see new things every day with your brother, and it's very interesting! To put it mildly, if I could in the next life, I would like to fight with you as a partner. ”

"Bah, bah, bah! Before this battle started, you should talk about the next life, even if you are a rough person, you can't be so unsophisticated, right? ”

Sheng Huaien laughed, and the laughter echoed on the top of the mountain, drifting away to the mountains in the distance.

The plan of the mountain leopard was not complicated, he still let Lou Shifan attack from the west side, this time he let him bring 3,000 people, and another 700 people to guard Fengqi Pass.

At the end, he came out slowly with the rear team and walked along the river at the junction. At this time, the frontal battlefield was already full of killings and flags.

This time, Lou Shifan himself led 2,000 people to attack head-on, and hundreds of people on each flank made a roundabout posture to attract the opponent's attention.

Just when the two sides were in full swing, the rear team of mountain leopards suddenly pounced on the river and quickly built a pontoon bridge with the wood and bamboo rafts they carried.

In just a quarter of an hour, 200 people swam across the river without waiting for the pontoon bridge to be built, rushed directly up the slope, smashed down the bamboo nails, and threw down the ropes that had been tied in advance.

These people then picked up the weapons on the ground and quickly rushed along Laifeng Pavilion Road to the north gate.

Just like Li Dan told Sheng Huaien, the north gate has not yet been completed, and only a simple door is made of bamboo.

Sheng Huaien, who had already descended the mountain to sit in the town, saw that the enemy really used this hand, sneered, and ordered the troops to abandon the gate and earthen wall after a little resistance, and move to the fence (second fence) more than 20 steps away from the rear to guard.

Seeing the assault team rushing into the north gate, the leopard was overjoyed, and his clever plan finally worked. He shouted, brandishing his blade, leading dozens of follow-up men into the north gate. As soon as I looked up, I heard two loud noises.

"Bang, bang". Great General! His mind was buzzing. If it's broken, how can the officers and soldiers have big guns?

Immediately after that, I heard "crackling", and the screams outside kept coming, and a cronie stumbled over:

"Captain, the officers and soldiers have guns, guns! There are so many generals, and so many birds, and so many of our brothers have been killed! He spoke with a shout, because the "crackling" in his ears never stopped.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two more "bang, bang", and then someone shouted: "The pontoon bridge is broken, the pontoon bridge is broken!" ”

Why didn't these three young marshals say that there was a big gun? Miscalculated, Mom's Lao Tzu miscalculated! The leopard suddenly felt a mixture of anger, humiliation, depression and remorse.

"Rush, rush up, either they die, or we fall here!" He shouted to his men.
