Daqingshan is thousands of feet high, with steep peaks and jagged rocks. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with only a narrow main road on the east side winding straight up.
Xiao Fan took advantage of the geographical advantage of being easy to defend but difficult to attack, and set up posts on the mountain road every three steps and one sentry every five steps to intercept snipers.
Long Qingtian and other generals were hovering in the void, looking at Xiao Fan's defense arrangements and nodding frequently.
"I didn't expect that Prince Xiao from Prince Pingnan's Palace, despite his young age, has some real talent and learning in marching and fighting."
Long Qingtian nodded.
"The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It depends on how Marshal Mo will break the situation!"
Zhao Benshan frowned.
"It's just dark now, so the attack is expected to be carried out late at night. The visibility is not good at that time, which is conducive to the attack..."
A general muttered.
"Well, this is the best option, but Xiao Fan will definitely be on guard. And the deadline for this military exercise is tomorrow morning. They will probably stay up all night and focus on duty in the second half of the night..."
Long Qingtian muttered.
As soon as Long Qingtian finished speaking, Mo Wen led the team to the foot of Daqing Mountain.
"Hey, they are here? What are they doing?"
Zhao Benshan looked at this team and said doubtfully.
I saw Mo Wen leading his team to the foot of the mountain. He had no intention of attacking, but began to set up camp and make fires to cook food.
After a while, smoke rose from the foot of the mountain.
"Wonderful!"
Long Qingtian high-fived and praised.
Xiao Fan was on the march in a hurry, and he only brought marching rations, just a simple meal to satisfy his hunger.
Mo Wen is here making a big fire to make rice, with rich ingredients. After a while, the rice at the foot of the mountain is fragrant, and the aroma of meat is overflowing.
Mo Wen and his group were eating meat and drinking wine.
"Cheer up! If nothing else, they will launch an attack late at night. If you win this military exercise, I'll treat you to a drink..."
Xiao Fan, who was on the mountain, looked at this scene, said a few words and walked away with a livid face.
"Everyone, how about we go down and have some food too?"
A general licked his lips and said.
He saw Mo Wen roasting a more than two hundred kilograms of armored ox, golden in color and constantly emitting fragrant aroma.
"Haha... After General Xiao said that, I'm really a little hungry. Let's go down and eat some!"
Long Qingtian said with a smile.
"Haha... let's go try Marshal Mo's craftsmanship together. This armored cow looks good..."
"Hahaha... General Liu said, let's go together, go together..."
A group of old people chatted and laughed and headed towards the camp where Mo Wen was stationed.
"General Long, General Zhao, you are here, come and have something with us..."
Mo Wen greeted.
"Hahaha... Many thanks to Marshal Mo for the kind invitation. It's time to try Marshal Mo's craftsmanship!"
Long Qingtian found a place to sit down and said with a smile.
Mo Wen cut the roasted beef into pieces and served it on a plate. Each general got a large piece.
"Hmm... this tastes really good! The skin is golden and crispy, the meat is tender and delicate, the heat is just right, and the meat is not bad at all..."
Zhao Benshan took a bite and chewed.
All the generals had their mouths full of food and praised him repeatedly.
"Smells! It smells so good! It's so delicious..."
Long Qingtian praised.
“I didn’t expect that Marshal Mo’s troops under his command were unparalleled, and his barbecue skills were also outstanding!”
"General Long is so complimentary. There is still a lot of meat. Please eat more..."
Mo Wen said with a smile.
The people at the foot of the mountain were feasting, and the Pingnan soldiers on the mountain felt their throats rolling as they smelled the tempting fragrance.
After drinking and eating, everyone was chatting and resting.
"Marshal Mo, you are so good at what you do! Attack the enemy's heart first, use delicious food to weaken their fighting spirit, and wait until late at night before launching the attack again..."
Long Qingtian said with a smile.
"General Long, our attack has begun!"
Mo Wen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly.
"here we go?"
When all the generals heard this, their eyes widened and they looked at Mo Wen.
"Speaking of which, thanks to the cooperation of all the generals, I have made up this perfect link..."
Mo Wen smiled mysteriously.
"Cooperate? Let's come over and eat..."
Long Qingtian said doubtfully.
All the generals were also confused and confused.
"Wait...you mean the number of people!"
Long Qingtian stood up and scanned the camp.
There are one hundred tents in the camp, a standard ten-person tent.
But the number of soldiers did not match the number, there were a hundred fewer soldiers!
Under the cover of night, the defenders on the mountainside could only judge the number of troops based on the number of tents and the smoke from cooking fires. The only risk of being discovered was that they were filled by their own group.
"They're not going up the cliff on the back, are they?"
After being reminded by Long Qingtian, Zhao Benshan also noticed the fishiness in it and spoke out.
When all the generals heard this, they were all shocked.
The cliffs on three sides of Daqing Mountain are straight up and down, steep and precipitous.
The rocks are slippery on rainy days, how do you climb up there?
"Exactly!"
Mo Wen nodded and smiled.
…
Daqingshan, cliff on the north.
With the help of ropes, a team of 100 people had almost climbed to the top of the cliff.
Mo Wen equipped this team with simple rock climbing equipment, including ropes, iron locks, rope nooses, rock picks, and rock hammers.
I saw them hammering the rock in their hands onto the rock wall, and then nailing the rock cone to the cliff and fixing it.
This small group of 100 people was led by Xuanyuan Qingfeng. They did not set off with the larger army, but were sent here by Mo Wen to climb up the northern cliff.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng led people to climb up ten ropes, and after a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the top of Daqing Mountain.
Under the cover of night, they disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"It's too bad for them. We are eating solid food, and they are eating delicious food down there..."
A Pingnan soldier complained to his companions.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, this solid food is hard to swallow. Eat some to cushion your stomach first, stay up all night, and hold on until tomorrow morning..."
Another soldier frowned.
"What else can we eat? Where else can we..."
The voice of the Pingnan soldier stopped suddenly.
"What’s wrong with you?"
He was about to turn around, but someone covered his mouth.
"Don't move. According to the rules, you have been killed!"
The two Pingnan soldiers were speechless and could only nod their heads up and down to show that they knew.
"Please lie here for a while. I think it won't be long and the exercise will be over soon..."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng let go of his hand and said.
The same scene occurred at various sentry points.
Xiao Fan did not expect that the attack had already started. It was just that the mountain was not attacked from the bottom up, but from the top down.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Fan sat in the handsome tent with a gloomy expression.
Opposite him, Xuanyuan Qingfeng and others were standing.
"you lose!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said softly.
Xiao Fan clenched his fists and said dejectedly.
"I lost!"
