Chapter 17 The Burning Hero
The moonlight is like silver!
A team was marching in a hurry while the moon was shining. Their banner had the word "Feng" written on it, and needless to say, the leader of the team was Feng Qingluan.
This is a team made up of the gang members of the Spring and Autumn Society. The leader is Feng Qingluan, and the deputy leader is Du Kangqiao.
The destination of their trip was Yangdu City in Jiangbei.
When they left Tianyang City, it was ten days ago. Sun Chenggang, the king of the Great Domain, also wanted to capture Tianyang City, and he sent a war letter to Wu Shixun.
Sun Chenggang has been entrenched in the capital of Yang for many years, very powerful, Wu Shixun asked the capital of Yang to pay taxes, Sun Chenggang was furious, killed the messenger sent by Wu Shixun and threatened to take Tianyang City in three months.
Wu Shixun naturally couldn't let him attack. Feng Qingluan's idea for him was that since he wanted to attack Tianyang City, he would give him a first strike to attack his Yangdu City.
Wu Shixun listened to his advice and asked him to lead the gang of the Spring and Autumn Society as the vanguard, cross the Xunyang River, and set out on the Northern Expedition.
He and Du Kangqiao led the gang of the Spring and Autumn Society to triumph all the way.
In front is Dusong Pass, as long as you rush through Dusong Pass, you will arrive at the city of Yangdu.
Sun Chenggang couldn't imagine that his troops were so rubbish, but the Liangzi had already been settled, and Wu Shixun would not spare himself easily.
Fortunately, there is Dusong Pass, the only path among the two cliffs, which is really a one-man pass, and it is impossible to open.
Sun Chenggang sent his most elite troops to garrison Dusong Pass, and his death order was that if there was Dusong Pass, there would be defenders, and if there was no Dusong Pass, the defenders would have to live and die together with Dusong Pass.
Although Feng Qingluan is the leader, it is still the deputy leader Du Kangqiao who has the final say.
Du Kangqiao told him that he should study carefully, and that what he learned from books could only be consolidated in practice.
Feng Qingluan knew that this was Du Kangqiao cultivating him and making him a general who could truly lead his troops into battle.
Someone came to report: "The front is Dusong Pass!" ”
"Helper, when you will tackle the key problems, you will command from behind, and you must not rush to the front!" Du Kangqiao whispered to him.
"I've practiced martial arts, and I've learned swordsmanship!" Feng Qingluan whispered: "If I don't lead the troops to rush and kill, how can the sergeants fight to kill the enemy!"
"An excellent commander is not to charge into battle by himself, but to have a strategic vision, command thousands of troops and horses to charge into battle, and be able to win battles, rather than being brave alone!" Although he is the leader of the gang, Du Kangqiao is not polite when he speaks.
The moonlight is shining.
The gang of the Spring and Autumn Society just wanted to take the Dusong Pass in one fell swoop in the night.
The crowd moved on.
"Helper, the front is Dusong Pass!" Du Kangqiao said in a low voice.
Feng Qingluan raised his eyes and looked, under the moonlight, there were mountains and mountains, and between the two cliffs, there was a path.
The path is a hand-hewn stone staircase, winding up, and between the cliffs, there are huge stone towers.
Feng Qingluan couldn't help but gasp, such a dangerous pass is rare in the world, not to mention tackling key problems, even if you climb up, you will be panting.
"Brother Du, I've seen it, I'm afraid this Dusong Pass will be difficult to attack!" He was a little discouraged, if he attacked, he didn't know how many of the Spring and Autumn Society's gangs would be killed or injured.
"Helper, don't worry, how dangerous the pass, there is also a way to overcome it, I think the dangerous pass that is difficult to overcome is not here, but in the hearts of the people, if the people in Yangdu City don't want us to attack it, it will be difficult for us to attack, if the people in Yangdu City are against Sun Chenggang, we can capture Dusong Pass!"
Feng Qingluan didn't seem to understand Du Kangqiao's words, but he understood that if he wanted to do things, he had to rely on the people of the world.
Looking at the dangerous Dusong Pass, Du Kangqiao hurriedly convened the leaders of the Spring and Autumn Festival to study how to take the Dusong Pass.
"If we attack hard, the defenders above are like flying locusts, even if we have thousands of troops, we are afraid that it will be difficult to overcome!" Someone said.
"Such a Xiongguan can't be attacked, only outwitted!" One of them whispered.
"Nonsense!" Du Kangqiao reprimanded: "Outwit, how to outwit the law?" ”
When he asked, everyone was silent, and no one had a good idea at this time.
"Let's try his reality!" Du Kangqiao said, and ordered people to beat the war drums and attack the key problems in foreign clothes.
In an instant, the golden drums sounded in unison, and the shouts of killing were heard.
Listening only to the constant swishing sound, the defenders on the gate shot countless arrows. Then there was a boom, and countless stones rolled down.
Feng Qingluan saw the strength of guarding the pass. "Brother Du, you really have to find a way, otherwise, bypass Dusong Pass!"
Du Kangqiao's face sank, and he said: "This is the only way to capture Yangdu City, if it is a detour, this mountain, not to mention more than a thousand miles, we have lost the opportunity, don't want to capture Yangdu City!" ”
After listening to Du Kangqiao's words, Feng Qingluan understood that what he said was good, and he must face the difficulties.
"Marshal Wu ordered that Dusong Pass must be taken within two days!" The herald gives the order urgently.
Feng Qingluan agreed. Du Kangqiao said: "Wu Dashuai wants to take Dusong Pass, and he doesn't come in person, just let our brothers in the Spring and Autumn Festival send them to death!" ”
Feng Qingluan hurriedly searched in his mind for the memory of how to attack the dangerous pass. The examples of the battles recorded in the book quickly came out of his mind.
"Brother Du, let's find some people who are good at climbing, climb the cliff, go around to the back of Dusong Pass, attack back and forth, and capture Dusong Pass, wouldn't it be much easier!"
Du Kangqiao smiled bitterly: "Helper, I have thought of this idea a long time ago, but look at it, this cliff is difficult for apes to climb, how can we climb it!" ”
Feng Qingluan was a little discouraged, after all, he was young, so he had no actual combat experience.
"Brother Du, I still have an idea, let our gang carefully search the surroundings to see if there are any nearby residents, they may have a way!"
"Helper, this is a good idea, I'll send someone to visit!" Du Kangqiao gave an order and sent people to visit the farmers here.
In the middle of the night, the people who had gone out to look for it came back on business, and there was no one living here at all.
Feng Qingluan understood that this idea would not work, and it seemed that there was only a strong attack.
"Brother Du, it's already the second half of the night, should we send someone to tackle the problem?"
Du Kangqiao pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Dashuai gave us two days, and there is one night tomorrow night, what we do tonight is to sleep!"
Feng Qingluan understood that this was to let the sergeants rest for a while and recuperate their spirits.
"Then we will beat the golden drums in unison, we will rest, so that the enemy guarding the pass will not rest!" Du Kangqiao agreed. And let the sergeants go into the woods to rest.
Feng Qingluan hurriedly stopped: "The sergeants can't enter the woods, in case the enemy sets fire, we are afraid that it will be difficult to get out!" ”
"Helper, I haven't thought of these yet, you are so talented and learned, and your future is limitless!" Du Kangqiao immediately ordered the team to retreat and find an open place to rest.
"Brother Du, after dawn, we can let the sergeant go to the gate and shout and scold, if the defending enemy can't hold his breath and goes out of the pass to fight with us, won't we be able to take advantage of the weakness!"
Feng Qingluan secretly thought, even if his idea is not clever, he has to think of what to say.
"We must take advantage of the chaos to find their shortcomings, even if we attack hard, we must exhaust them and make them tired!" Du Kangqiao said, closed his eyes and fell asleep, Feng Qingluan looked at the bright moon in the sky and fell into deep thought.
I saw that around Mingyue, there was a huge aura, and he said in his heart: "It seems that there will be a strong wind tomorrow!" ”
When I closed my eyes, I couldn't sleep, and I was still thinking about how to win Dusong Pass.
Thinking about it, there is no good idea.
The sky was slightly bright, and sure enough, there was a strong wind, and in an instant, the sand flew away.
Du Kangqiao said: "Helper, we tackle key problems, such a gale, their arrows are not accurate!" ”
Feng Qingluan said: "Brother Du, you come to command, I will lead the people to take the lead!" ”
Du Kangqiao glared at him and said: "Helper, you remember, you are the helper, you can't risk your life, and also, with me, you can't hold a sword, what I want is for you to control the whole situation and command us to win the battle, perhaps, you don't have this ability yet, but you have to learn and learn the skills to fight!" ”
"But, I can't look at you, watch the gang die!"
"If I can take Dusong Pass, what is the pity of my life, remember, you are commanding the battle, not risking death to charge!" Du Kangqiao repeatedly admonished.
"Command people, scold the battle under the gate!" Du Kangqiao commanded.
Hundreds of people lined up at the gate, shouting and scolding, but the defending enemy was unmoved, and no one was seen at all.
Feng Qingluan understood that this idea would not work, and he would never switch to battle if he defended the enemy and waited for work.
Du Kangqiao ordered the soldiers to storm Dusong Pass.
The west wind was fierce, although the defenders' arrows were blown by the wind, but the boulder rolled down, it was really difficult to dodge, there was no way, Du Kangqiao ordered the sergeants who attacked the key points to withdraw.
"How can you capture Dusong Pass!" Feng Qingluan thought of the five old men of Feng.
He picked up a steel knife and wiped it on his neck, and suddenly a voice sounded in his ears: "Feng Qingluan, this is a matter of the world, I won't help you, but I won't let you kill yourself, you must not have such a bad idea to let me help you in the future!" ”
Feng Wu Old Man did not show up, Feng Qingluan knew that Feng Wu Old Man would never help him easily.
The wind was even more intense, blowing people on their backs.
Feng Qingluan stared at Dusong Pass.
Suddenly, he saw that the trees in front of Dusong Pass were bent by the wind! Dense trees everywhere.
He had an idea.
"Brother Du, these places are so densely wooded, can we attack them with fire!"
"Now the wind is not in the right direction, how can you attack with fire!" Du Kang Bridge Road.
As soon as Du Kangqiao's voice fell, suddenly the wind direction changed, and it was a south wind.
"Brother Du, the direction of the wind has changed!" Feng Qingluan said in surprise.
"It seems that God has helped us, and we will attack with fire!" Du Kangqiao commanded: "Ignition".
The sergeants took out the oil, sprinkled it on the bushes, lit a fire, and in an instant, the fire burned.
The vegetation on the mountain is dense, and the strong wind urges the fire to burn on the mountain.
The sergeant guarding the pass never imagined that such a strong south wind would blow at this time. The fire burned, and soon, Dusongguan seemed to be roasted on a fire.
The wind still doesn't stop. Feng Qingluan looked at the fire in the mountains, and felt uncomfortable for a while, if it wasn't for the battle between the two armies, where would such a thing be done
