Chapter 998 Can't Afford It
"This mountain cannot be attacked hastily." Cao Wenzhao called his nephew back, looked at the hill in front of him, and pondered.
There are two cannons on the mountain, as well as a large number of firearms and crossbows, and if your own forces are several times that of the enemy, it is no problem to force the mountain. But in fact, the rogues on the mountain are several times that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
There is no advantage in troops, and it is still occupied by people, and if it really fights, no matter how powerful the Guanning Iron Cavalry is, there will be heavy casualties.
The three thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry under his command had already suffered a lot of casualties in the last battle, and now there are less than two thousand and five people, and if they fight such a tough battle again, they don't know how many casualties there will be.
To be honest, he can't afford such a loss anymore!
Cao Bianjiao: "Let's attack at night? ”
Cao Wenzhao: "They will definitely take precautions, their troops are several times larger than ours, and a part of them will take turns to keep vigil in the middle of the night, and we can't find a chance." ”
Cao Bianjiao: "......"
Trouble!
The two uncles and nephews froze here, unable to move.
That night, Cao Bianjiao sneaked to the foot of the mountain and looked towards the hillside, where the rogues on the mountain really separated some people and planted torches everywhere on the mountainside.
Not to mention sneaking up to the top of the mountain, you may not even be able to touch the mountainside and be discovered.
There is nothing the two uncles and nephews can do!
Early the next morning, Cao Bianjiao stood in front of the camp with a pair of black eyes, and looked at Zhou Gongshan with a depressed face: "Uncle, we can only wait for Lu Xiang to come over, he has a lot of soldiers, and he has a few cannons in his hand." You can use artillery to bombard the top of the mountain, and then rely on the superiority of troops to hit it. ”
Cao Wenzhao nodded.
At this moment, a sentry came over and reported: "General, Gao Jie has followed. ”
Cao Wenzhao didn't take this news seriously: "It's useless for Gao Jie to come, and he doesn't have the ability to attack Zhou Gongshan." ”
Sentinel: "Gao Jie didn't bring his own headquarters, he brought Mr. Bai's militia." ”
Cao Wenzhao: "What? ”
That's a bit outrageous.
Cao Wenzhao turned his head and saw an army of thousands of people coming to the outside of his barracks.
Walking in front was Gao Jie, who only led a small group of personal soldiers.
And following behind was the militia group of Gaojia Village.
Cao Wenzhao is no stranger to this militia group, when he was seriously injured and was almost killed by the generals, it was this militia that rescued his uncle and nephew.
He also knows a little about the combat power of the militia group.
Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Bai, you're here too."
White Kite: "I heard that General Cao is in trouble here?" ”
Cao Wenzhao nodded and pointed to Zhou Gongshan in front of him: "The two cannons of the thief army are erected on the top of the mountain...... There are also a large number of firecrackers and crossbowmen guarding it, and the attack on the mountain is only afraid that the loss will be too great. ”
The white kite smiled: "Then leave it to us here." ”
Cao Wenzhao: "Your command is full of firecrackers, and it is not suitable to attack the mountain, the enemy is hiding behind the stones, and your firecrackers can't hit it, but they can condescend and beat with firearms." ”
Gao Jie suddenly spoke, and smiled: "General Cao, don't worry, Mr. Bai has a cannon." ”
Cao Wenzhao: "? ”
A big question mark jumped...... -
The thief army on the mountain was condescending, and from a distance you could see that the officers and soldiers were beginning to prepare to attack the mountain, the military formation was moving, and a large number of soldiers poured to the foot of the mountain and formed a formation.
The sentries of the thief army hurriedly informed the boss Tiger and Lone Tiger.
The two tigers immediately ran to the edge of the hillside, looked down, and then saw a white kite dressed in white at a glance.
There's no way, his pretending to be forced, and the embarrassing stubble is so eye-catching, it's not easy to see it.
Tiger: "Ah, isn't this the guy we met in Luoyang?" Call...... White...... What is white? ”
Duhu: "Brother, his name is White Kite." ”
Tiger: "Yes, yes, yes, it's this guy who made our plan to grab a vote in Luoyang failed." Hey, I didn't expect him to come again, last time he guarded Luoyang, but this time it was we guarding Zhougong Mountain, hahaha, it's time to take revenge and blood hatred. ”
The tiger waved fifty scolders and shouted at the bottom of the mountain together: "White kite! We know you, last time you took advantage of the location, but this time the location is on our side, so you will have no return. ”
The white kite took out an iron shouting microphone and shouted to the mountain: "Although you are rude, I am very polite, after all, I attach great importance to etiquette." ”
The tiger laughed: "What kind of etiquette do you talk about in war?" ”
White Kite: "The so-called salute before the soldiers, I will give you one last chance now, lay down your arms, go down the mountain and surrender." It can be regarded as a voluntary surrender plot, and the labor reform time can be reduced by forty percent, and if you miss this village, there will be no such shop. ”
Tiger: "Hahaha, what are you talking about?" ”
The white kite shook his head: "Since the etiquette is not successful, then it can only be a soldier." ”
After speaking, the white kite waved his hand: "Raise the reconnaissance hot air balloon."
So, the rogues on the mountain watched at the foot of the mountain in the distance, blowing a huge ball, which became more and more bulging, more and more drumming, and then slowly rose into the air, with a huge blue seed, and a person was sitting in the blue seed.
Rogues: "Wow? What the hell? ”
The hot air balloon flew and flew, and soon, it flew higher than where the rogues were entrenched. The rogues did not entrench themselves at the highest point of Zhougong Mountain, the place where they were entrenched was only a small peak that was not deep into the mountain.
The hot air balloon went up and up, up to a much higher position than them, condescendingly, just watching them.
Rogues: "......"
The man on the hot air balloon took out his binoculars, looked left, right, forward, and back at Zhou Gongshan, and after reading it, he put down the binoculars, took out a pen and paper, and drew the layout of the Liukou's troops, the defensive position, and the various dangers on the hillside.
Then the paper is loaded into a bamboo tube and hung on a rope attached to the bottom of the hot air balloon, and the bamboo tube slides down the rope to the ground.
On the ground, the white kite received the bamboo tube, unfolded it and glanced at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting!" ”
Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, Gao Jie, surrounded them together: "Take a look, let's take a look." ”
The white kite spread out the picture for everyone to see: "Their two cannons are mounted here...... Here, here, and here on the hillside there are a large number of firecrackers in ambush...... The repeater ...... here"
Gao Jie leaned over to look at the picture, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Amazing, really amazing." Before the battle, you can see the enemy's layout clearly. ”
Cao Wenzhao is not as strange as Gao Jie, the white kite used to lend him a hot air balloon, he knows the power of this hot air balloon. So I just looked at the drawings seriously and thought carefully about how to hit them.
On the side of the white kite, he ordered: "The enemy's key arrangements have been clearly seen, and it is the turn of the artillery battalion to blow up their dilapidated fortifications even more." ”
