Chapter 37: Siege of the Mountain

Yin Yichen heard Ouyang Yuting say that he was here to report the news, and became more and more angry, and stomped on Ouyang Yuting's back and said angrily: "You guy, you are so spineless!

Ouyang Yuting was trampled and coughed, he coughed violently and said, "Ahem, cough... If the generals think that I have no backbone, I shouldn't come back, and if you want to kill me, kill me, it's just a pity for my hard work!"

Yin Yichen sneered: "Hmph, tell me what your hard work is?"

Ouyang Yuting said: "Only when I come back, Yimeng can be saved!"

At this time, Yinran said: "Let him get up!"

Yin Yichen removed the foot that was stepping on Ouyang Yuting's back and said, "Tell me what is in this package?"

Ouyang Yuting said unhurriedly: "This is the flower tongue, the bandits of Tianlong Mountain asked me to bring it. ”

Yin Yichen grabbed Ouyang Yuting's collar and said angrily: "Hmph!

Ouyang Yuting said with a disdainful face: "Only in this way can I save Yimeng, if you don't believe me, you will kill me." ”

Yin Ran said: "Yichen, let him finish." ”

Ouyang Yuting told everyone in detail about the fact that he and Yin Yimeng escaped from the General Military Mansion last night, met bandits in Tianlong Mountain, and Liu Huozi was killed, and he told the truth here.

Hearing that Liu Huozi was killed by the owl of Tianlong Mountain with a secret weapon, the one-eyed scar-faced Wang Split Zhu could no longer contain the anger in his chest and said: "Damn! Tianlong Mountain, these bandits raised by sons, I have to skin them today!"

Ouyang Yuting said: "That owl's special secret weapon hurts people, and it is difficult for the general to prevent it." ”

"Hahahaha, I'd like to see if the owl's stone is powerful, or if my throwing knife killed him first. It was Yao Mujun who was dressed in white, with fluttering clothes and a flying knife, who was good at flying knives, and his flying knives were like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, fast and accurate.

Yin Yichen asked, "Where is my sister now?"

Ouyang Yuting said: "Yimeng is locked up in the underground palace in Tianlong Mountain, I can find her, as long as we attack the mountain, we can save her." ”

Yin Yichen said: "Hmph, how can we believe you? Last night, you still wanted to save Ouyang De's dog thief out, and I suspect that you are also a spy sent by Ah Chitu!"

Ouyang Yuting said: "Then Ouyang De is my enemy, I am here to kill him!"

Yin Yichen reprimanded: "Nonsense, how did you all become enemies with the surname 'Ouyang'?"

Ouyang Yuting would never admit that it was actually his biological father, and he was thinking about it and didn't know how to answer.

Yin Ran said: "Let's not talk about these things for the time being, I will detain him first, and then I will take care of this matter when I lead the troops to level the Dragon Cottage." ”

Ouyang Yuting hurriedly said: "General Hugh wants to lock me up! You lead the troops to attack Tianlong Mountain, and I keep it is still useful?"

Yin Ran said: "What's the use of waste that even my daughter can't protect?"

Ouyang Yuting said: "Dare to ask the general what the terrain of Longshan was like that day? How was the deployment of troops? If the general went to Longshan that day, would he set up an ambush? Where would the ambush be located? I just came down from Tianlong Mountain, and I already have some understanding of the terrain there, and the other three bandit leaders also designed to kill the general. ”

Yin Ran asked, "How can you harm me?"

Ouyang Yuting said: "That owl asked me to send this 'flower tongue' back, just to find a way to lead the general to attack Tianlong Cottage from the back mountain, where he has already set up an ambush to wait for the general." ”

Yin Ran said: "Hmph, it seems that this Tianlong Mountain has always hated me for killing the mud bodhisattva, and I have to die soon!"

Ouyang Yuting said: "The general must not take it lightly, that day the main village of Longshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountain road is winding, and only one person is allowed to pass in many places. ”

Yin Ran said: "Hahaha, I've been marching and fighting for so many years, and I'm still afraid that a small cottage won't succeed?"

Yin Ran already had a strategy to break the enemy at this time, he had the intention to test the few generals present, and at the same time, he could also test the truth of what Ouyang Yuting said, so he asked, "Everyone, do you have a way?"

Yin Yichen and those generals, you look at me, but I look at you, but you have no strategy.

Ouyang Yuting saw that no one in the audience spoke, and said after a long silence: "Fire attack!" Although Ouyang Yuting didn't know the art of war, he was extremely smart, and he had already thought of countermeasures while observing the terrain of Tianlong Mountain on the road.

Yinran listened to Ouyang Yuting's idea and secretly combined the art of war, exactly the same as what he thought, and couldn't help but glance at this young man who had just turned twenty years old, but Ouyang Yuting's behavior was strange, and he didn't know who he was or foe, and Yinran didn't show it.

Suddenly, Yin Ran gave an order in a high-pitched and majestic voice: "The generals will each go back to the camp to count the soldiers and horses, and after an hour, they will send troops with me to suppress the bandits and level Tianlong Mountain!"

The generals shouted in unison: "No!" The voice echoed between heaven and earth, full of murderous aura!

At noon, the army marched out, and in less than two hours, it arrived near Tianlong Mountain, and Yinran immediately made a deployment.

The north side is the back mountain of Tianlong Mountain, Yinran ordered Wang Split Zhu to wear his own armor and disguise himself, and brought the handsome banner to lead two thousand foot soldiers and one thousand iron horsemen to feint from the back mountain to confuse the bandits on Tianlong Mountain and contain the bandit brigade.

When the two armies fought in the back mountain, Yan Jingchen and Yan Jingfeng brothers led 2,000 troops to attack the mountain from the west; Shang Puguang led 2,000 troops to attack the mountain from the east; Yinran himself led 2,000 foot soldiers and 500 gunners of the Shenji Battalion with Yin Yichen, Red Lady and Yao Mujun (an independent gun unit in the Ming Dynasty, equipped with muskets and muskets, more than a century ahead of the later Spanish musketeers. Attack from the front. Yin Ran also took Ouyang Yuting with him personally, in case he had different intentions.

Yinran ordered the soldiers of each department to carry firewood, grass and tar, and after the deployment, Yinran said to the one-eyed scarface Wang Splitzhu: "General Wang, you only need to feint and don't need to go up the mountain, when we attack the mountain on three sides, the bandits of Longshan will definitely escape from the back mountain that day, and then the general will personally lead the cavalry to cut and kill!"

Wang Splitzhu said: "Understood!"

So, the soldiers were divided into four roads, and the army drove to the foot of Tianlong Mountain, and an hour later the army had formed a siege of Tianlong Mountain.

Behind Tianlong Mountain, Mantis Mouth personally led two thousand bandits to ambush on the mountainside of the back mountain, and he took great pains to deal a fatal blow to Yinran's army. The praying mantis knew that Yin Ran would inevitably be bad this time, so he moved almost all the rolling logs, boulders, bows and arrows on Tianlong Mountain.

The praying mantis mouth was commanding in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up, hurry, hurry, put all the rolling wood for me, and then I will smash the old thief to death!"

"There are some more archers here, Lao Tzu wants to let them come and go!"

The praying mantis mouth was commanding, and when he saw the flag fluttering under the mountain, it was the well-trained Ming army, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, and the march of the army stirred up bursts of yellow sand on the northern land.

The praying mantis smiled at his subordinates: "Hahaha, Yinran has a false name, he even brought cavalry to attack the mountain, he doesn't know the art of war at all, it seems that the emperor is really blind, and Yinran will definitely die today!"

"The second master said very well, of course, Yinran's old thief is not the opponent of the three kings. The bandits immediately flattered.

At this time, the boy and the owl of Tianlong Mountain were leisurely drinking liquor and eating bloody hearts in the hall, they were confident that Tianlong Mountain was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they did not know that the end of the cottage was coming.

"It's not good, it's not good, the two kings are not good. "A bandit spy ran in out of breath.

The boy of Tianlong Mountain turned his heart towards the spy fiercely, and hit the spy in the lower abdomen, and actually beat the spy to the ground.

The boy of Tianlong Mountain said angrily: "Bastard, what are you arguing about?

The spy gasped and said, "Report... Report to the king, a large number of officers and soldiers have appeared around our cottage, and they... They also carried firewood and grass on their backs. ”

The owl whispered, "No! they're going to attack with fire!"

The owl said to the boy of Tianlong Mountain: "Big brother, that kid from Ouyang Yuting is really an unfed dog, he must have told Yinran about our plan to the old thief, and now Yinran has brought troops to surround the mountain." ”

The boy of Tianlong Mountain said: "What should I do now? Everything has been moved to the back mountain!"

The owl said: "Hmph, big brother, don't panic, we still have one last good card!"
