Prime Minister Miao Cheng can be a complete victory in the battle of the river valley in the coming year, not only let the prepared enemy coalition army retreat in a crushing defeat, but also sent his deputy general Xia Yu to advance his country's army into the border of Niuling Country, stationed on Shuanglong Mountain in Niuling Country, and make a posture of further continuing to march deep into the hinterland of Niuling Country. Showing the way of others, returning the body of others, waiting for the opportunity to annex Niuling Country in one fell swoop. At present, the situation in Niuling Country is very critical. At this critical juncture when the scholar king could not return to China, Marshal Tian Long felt that he, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, had to fulfill his due duty at a critical moment. As the commander of a country, the most important thing to do is to defend your own land and keep the invasion from the country. Therefore, when he got the garrison of Xia Yu, the deputy general of Cuizhu Kingdom, within his own borders, Tian Dashuai immediately rushed back to the imperial court from the border of Linshi Kingdom, organized the elite soldiers of the kingdom, and rushed straight to Shuanglong Mountain, where General Xia Yu was stationed.

Marshal Tian Long sent people to inquire and learned that at present, Prime Minister Miao Wen only appointed Xia Yu to lead a small army into the territory of Niuling, and did not arrange for a backup army to be deployed at the border. Marshal Tian felt that this was a bit out of line with the conventional way of using troops, but Prime Minister Miao Wen, who had always used troops strangely, would not make some conventional low-level mistakes, and Marshal Tian Long felt confused, and he really didn't know what kind of medicine Prime Minister Miao Wen sold in his gourd. No amount of speculation will help, Marshal Tian Long feels that the top priority now is to destroy the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom that has advanced into his own country as soon as possible, so as to achieve the goal of dispelling the enemy's arrogance and growing his own prestige. Xia Yu's single army went straight into the country without backup, which made Marshal Tian Long feel that with his military talent, he could destroy a small-scale enemy army that a single army went straight into, and let himself, the generalissimo of a country's soldiers and horses, go out in person, it was simply a slaughtering knife.

Marshal Tian Long is proficient in military affairs, he has always paid attention to judging the time and sizing up the situation, acting when the opportunity arises, and also knows the importance of the struggle between soldiers, time, place, and people. After leading the army to surround Shuanglong Mountain at great speed, he first carefully observed the geographical shape of Shuanglong Mountain and the natural layout of the surrounding terrain. Mt. Ssangyong is a lonely mountain that stands in the territory of the country, it is not connected to the other mountains around it, this mountain has a certain height, the mountain is surrounded by cliffs, and only in the east there is a channel that gradually slows down to the top. Marshal Tian Long felt that Prime Minister Miao Wen arranged for General Xia Yu to entrench on this hill because he took a fancy to this cottage and only had a narrow path leading to the top of the mountain, which had the advantage of being a man and a man. The surrounding cliffs of Shuanglong Mountain are overgrown with leafy trees, and underneath the trees are weeds and fallen leaves that have accumulated over the years. Tian Dashuai felt that relying on his military talent and skillful use of the art of war, the army led by Xia Yu would definitely die without a place to be buried.

Saying goes; Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Marshal Tian Long mistakenly guessed Prime Minister Miao Wen's intentions, and Prime Minister Miao had no intention of sending troops to invade the territory of other countries, he just wanted to give the enemy a little color. After General Xia Yu garrisoned the territory of Niuling State, Prime Minister Miao Cheng gave General Xia Yu a key reminder according to the geographical situation of the garrison, General Xia is quite a smart person, and he knows how to take what indispensable measures according to the actual situation. In order to deal with the needs of the need, General Xia Yu organized troops to hoard a large number of rolling stones at the entrance of Shuanglong Mountain, because Marshal Tian Long's besieging army has many generals, if they want to form a death squad and pounce on the cottage to attack the cottage, General Xia plans to put the hoarded rolling stones down to serve them, so as to maintain their own strength and damage the enemy's soldiers. General Xia, who was well versed in the method of military use by Prime Minister Miao Wen, also organized soldiers to dig several pools with large capacity on Shuanglong Cottage, and relied on natural rainfall to fill several pools with water. Because according to Prime Minister Miao's arrangement in advance, a large amount of military grain and grass has long been stored on the cottage, which is enough for the garrison for a long time. General Xia felt that he was stationed here with his troops, and did not feel the slightest threat, so he only led a few soldiers to patrol around the cottage all day to observe the movements of Marshal Tian Long's army.

Marshal Tian Long thought about defeating the garrison of the Cuizhu Kingdom on his own land as soon as possible, so as not to be ridiculed by his own people, if this hidden danger was not eliminated in time, once they were allowed to gain a firm foothold, and then advance in depth by the trend, it would make others laugh at them for stealing chickens and rice. Marshal Tian Long, based on his many years of war experience, felt that Prime Minister Miao Wen let Xia Yu garrison Shuanglong Mountain, which was nothing more than self-destruction, and he only used a little trick to annihilate Xia Yu's army.

After prior observation, Marshal Tian Long knew that this Shuanglong Mountain was surrounded by trees and weeds, and there were many dead branches and leaves piled up on the mountainside. If you attack with fire, the fire will burn upwards along the foot of the mountain, and with the help of flammable materials such as dead branches and leaves, the fire will be very ferocious when it enters the cottage. Once Xia Yu's army is surrounded by raging fire on the cottage, there is no possibility of escaping death at all. Moreover, this Shuanglong Mountain is a mountain that stands alone, and once a fire breaks out around it, it will only harm this mountain, and will not cause the fire to spread and implicate other mountain bees in the consequence.

Marshal Tian Long chose a relatively dark night, which was sometimes stormy. Marshal Tian secretly organized the soldiers to prepare a large number of torches in advance, and ordered the whole army to enter the tent to rest after dark. In the middle of the night, Marshal Tian Long ordered the soldiers to light the torches prepared in advance as quickly as possible and throw them around Shuanglong Mountain. This dry weed and tree, in this early spring that has just recovered, has not yet sprouted and grown leaves, and it will burn at one point. The fire burned from the bottom up, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon it would spread to the top of the cottage. Regarding this sudden cottage fire, General Xia Yu had expected it for a long time, and he had been prepared for it. When the fire jumped up to the top of the mountain, General Xia organized the cottage soldiers to pour the water stored in the pool in advance into the fire with utensils. Water is the nemesis of fire, and it was poured with enough water, and the fire planned by Marshal Tian Long was extinguished by the garrison of the cottage before it reached the top of the cottage. The troops stationed at the top of the hill were unscathed. After dawn, General Xia Yu ordered the soldiers to hang the military flag of the cottage higher, without the shelter of the trees on the mountainside, the flag of the Cuizhu Kingdom fluttering on the top of the Shuanglong Mountain was even more eye-catching. Seeing this scene, Marshal Tian Long, who had thought that he would win in one fell swoop, was almost angry and ashamed.

Tian Long felt that he was a little careless and underestimated the enemy. Judging from the current situation, the troops stationed in the cottage deliberately fought with them, because they used fire this time, and Tian Dashuai's besieging army retreated several kilometers after the cottage caught fire in order to avoid damaging their own army from the flames rolling down from the cottage. In the absence of an army siege, the cottage garrison led by General Xia showed no signs of taking the opportunity to retreat. Tian Dashuai found that in the course of the consistent contest with the army of Cuizhu Kingdom, his own plans always did not work, and most of them backfired.

This Cuizhu Kingdom army stationed on Shuanglong Mountain is simply a tumor in Niuling Country, if this tumor is not removed as soon as possible, the toxin of this tumor will spread throughout the entire territory of Niuling Country. Marshal Tian Long made up his mind to take advantage of the large number of people in his army, and decided to seize the time to organize several batches of detachments and carry out a strong attack on Shuanglong Mountain at the risk of losing his troops and losing his generals.

The problem to be solved at present is that even if we cannot destroy the enemy forces that insist on entrenching in the country, we must try by all means to drive them away, so Marshal Tian Long changed the original strategic method, no longer adopted the method of encirclement by regiments, and simply moved all the troops to the foot of the mountain at the entrance of the cottage, and planned to carry out a strong attack from the entrance.

After Tian Dashuai's troops were re-stationed, they did not hesitate to organize the first batch of death squads and attack the top of the mountain at the risk of being killed. In the process of advancing to the top of the mountain, the upward attacking team was hardly sniped by the soldiers organized by General Xia Yu along the way. When they almost arrived at the gate of the cottage, the soldiers of the Cuizhu Kingdom who were guarding the top of the mountain immediately opened the gate of the village, and pushed down all the rolling stones that had been prepared.

Faced with this situation, Tian Dashuai did not flinch, and immediately organized the second group of soldiers to rush to the mountain. When the second batch of soldiers arrived, they enjoyed the same treatment, most of the dead and wounded, and these soldiers also called their fathers and mothers, and the situation was extremely miserable.

Tian Dashuai speculated that the rolling stones prepared by General Xia Yu in the cottage could not be inexhaustible, and one after another, he organized a third group of soldiers to rush to the mountain. This time, General Xia Yu did not wait for the enemy army to reach the top of the mountain before taking action, he observed that when the group of soldiers organized by Tian Dashuai was almost halfway up the mountain, he organized the soldiers on the top of the mountain to use tools to pour water stored in the pond into the path leading to the cottage one after another. The already narrow mountain path was washed by the sudden mountain water, and the road became slippery, and the soldiers who were halfway up the mountain could not step on their feet in impatience, and all their brains rolled down from the mountainside.

The cunning general Xia Yu, when the preservation of the rolling stones was not exhausted, took this suddenly difficult to deal with method, and washed the road leading to the cottage with the stored rainwater, which became slippery and impassable, Tian Dashuai had no other way but to order the troops to be collected, and then bury the unfortunate soldiers on the spot, observe the movement, and think about the next step.

Marshal Tian Long was extremely depressed, and he was the generalissimo of the kingdom, leading a large army to deal with Xia Yu, an unknown junior, but he ended up like this. When I entered the barracks, I couldn't help but use alcohol to kill my sorrows, and I felt that I had really reached a low point in my life.

General Xia Yu led the army to be stationed on the Shuanglong Cottage, and did not lose a single soldier or general, but he was able to calmly deal with several attacks by Marshal Tian Long. Prime Minister Miao Wen, who got the news, felt that General Xia Yu, who was unknown before, could become the backbone of the kingdom in the future.
