The World Becomes Famous Chapter Fifty-fifth: The Brigade's Dangerous Move
In early summer, all kinds of wild flowers bloom, ranging from red to purple to pink to yellow, like brilliant spots embroidered on a large green carpet.
"Military advisor, the Great Khan has returned with a message sent by an eagle and has an answer!" Tuomu said with a happy face.
"What did the Great Khan say?" Zhehuali and Chiyan heard this and hurriedly asked for advice.
Tuomu said in high spirits: "The Great Khan will personally lead the 40,000 troops of the right route army to join us in three days. What the Great Khan means is that after the two armies merge, they will attack Datong with all their strength!"
"Great sweat!" Chi Yan knelt down on one knee, stroking his chest and shouted.
Zhehua Li laughed loudly: "We can win Datong this time, just around the corner."
Tuomu's eyes flashed fiercely, "After conquering Datong City, I will massacre all the hundreds of thousands of Han people in the city to avenge my dead Mongolian warriors!"
Chiyan knelt down and kowtowed, and said fiercely, "Commander, that's what it is. I, Chiyan, will make sure that no chickens or dogs are left in Datong City."
Zhehuali smiled bitterly but did not answer.
Dugu Xiaotian spread out the map on the city wall, dipped his finger in ink, and drew a large circle of the Mongolian military camp.
"Taking off wood is good at using troops. Mongolian military camps are built near mountains and rivers, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack."
We mobilized all the artillery and artillery shells in the city tonight. Head Song of the Wudang Sect led the light kung fu masters and set up the artillery on the hillside to the west of the Mongolian military camp. Then aiming here, Dugu Xiaotian drew six more in the circle of the Mongolian military camp.
The small circle is an important place for Mongolian soldiers to store grain, weapons, and horses.
Dugu Xiao visited the Mongolian military camp at night and had memorized the exact location of the main camps in the military camp.
The Mongolian army would not let their grain, grass, ordnance, and horses be destroyed by artillery. They would definitely send their elite troops to attack the mountains.
Dugu Xiaotian drew a line at the foot of the mountain and said slowly: "We have set up stakes to resist the horses and trip ropes here. Li Tianba led 200 musketeers from General Zhenwei's Mansion, and the princess led 200 poisonous archers from Prince Liao's Mansion to ambush them.
After initially resisting the Mongolian cavalry, they retreated to the mountain and led the Mongolian army up the mountain.
When the Mongolian army abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain, 400 people from the Five Elements Banners of the Sun and Moon Sect, together with 400 masters from Shaolin, Huashan, Diancang and other sects, intercepted and killed the Mongolian army halfway up the mountain."
Leader Song and I set up the artillery, and after we were able to bombard the Mongolian military camp, we, together with Wudang, Huashan and other masters, took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the enemy camp and set it on fire.
Shu Ling, Wu Ji, you two will act alone with me!"
Having said this, Dugu Xiaotian paused and said, "General Zhou, please mobilize the more than 30,000 troops and horses in the city. Wait until the third watch tonight, and when you see the Mongolian camp with flames rising into the sky, attack the Mongolian camp with all your strength!"
Zhou Yunhu nodded vigorously, "Young hero's clever plan! The general will definitely mobilize all his troops and fight to the death with the Mongolian army tonight!"
"Why did you ask me and Leng Wuji to follow you?" Song Shuling asked with a pout.
"The three of us took advantage of the chaos in the Mongolian military camp to assassinate Marshal Tuo Mu of the Mongolian army!" Dugu Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
"What a plan!" Qiao Wanyun slapped his thigh and shouted softly.
Dugu Xiaotian walked up to Leng Wuji and patted him lightly on the shoulder. "Brother Wuji, you have unparalleled dexterity. Don't let Na Tuomu escape tonight, I will protect you with all my strength!"
Leng Wuji was moved, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply: "Thank you 'Laughing Hero' for your support, Yin will definitely let that Tuomu die tonight!"
When Song Shuling heard this, she rubbed her hands excitedly, "Xiaotian, you are so awesome!"
Li Tianba stepped forward: "Brother Dugu is really a natural military genius. Although Tang has learned "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", he feels inferior. When should we take action?"
"Now prepare yourself individually. We will set off at the second watch tonight and bombard the Mongolian military camp at the third watch." Dugu Xiaotian smiled slightly and replied calmly.
Li Tianba was shocked when he heard this and was silent for a long time. He bowed and saluted, "Tang admires the talent of 'Laughing Man', so let's start preparations."
Song Qingfeng twisted his beard and smiled, "Xiao Tian is worthy of being the queen of the Ming army. He is naturally good at fighting. The soldiers are very fast and the Mongolian army will be defeated in this battle!"
Zhou Yunhu laughed loudly: "Young hero is so good at using soldiers that I will admire him, so I will mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city to fight the Tatars to the death tonight."
"General, please close the city gate tightly. No one is allowed to leave the city before the second watch tonight! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" Dugu Xiaotian warned.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and their confidence suddenly increased.
Zhu Cuixian stared at Dugu Xiaotian, her beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance, then her cheeks turned red and she quickly lowered her head.
Zhou Yunhu readily agreed and hurried down to the city to prepare.
On the ridge of the sky in the clouds, you can especially see this mountain statue. All the eight rivers meet in the south, and all the peaks squat in the north.
Hengshan is located 10 kilometers south of Hunyuan County, Datong City. It is a famous Taoist mountain. Zhang Guolao, one of the legendary "Eight Immortals", practiced immortality here. The famous Cuiping Peak Hanging Temple is the first scenic spot among the eighteen scenic spots in Hengshan.
Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, called it "the most spectacular sight in the world".
At the second watch, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Dugu Xiaotian led more than 80 light kung fu masters from various sects, carrying artillery components, shells, and artillery soldiers, and climbed to the top of a small peak in Hengshan Mountain.
The Sun Moon Sect, General Zhenwei's Mansion, Liao Prince's Mansion and other troops also started busy arrangements at the foot and mountainside of the mountain.
Dugu Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked towards the Mongolian army camp, and estimated the distance, "General Zhang, this is a little more than three miles away from the Mongolian army camp. Based on this height, the Hongyi artillery should be able to cover the entire Mongolian army camp. What do you think?"
Zhou Xiong, the commander of the artillery army, circled the peak, grabbed some dirt and tested the wind force, and said happily: "Young hero has seen it very accurately. The range of the Hongyi cannon is within two kilometers, and this position is just within the effective range. And
The northwest wind is very light tonight and will not affect our launch accuracy."
"It's just that the mountainous terrain is uneven, which affects the balance of our gun mount, and it will deviate from the crosshairs when firing. It needs to be cleaned up!"
"Okay, then choose this place, you guys wait a moment!" Dugu Xiaotian pulled out the Pingtian Sword and scraped horizontally and vertically on the top of the mountain. It only took half a cup of tea to clear out a width of more than ten feet on the top of the mountain.
of flat land.
Song Qingfeng touched the flat and smooth mountain peak and sighed: "The Pingtian Sword is really the best weapon in the world. It can cut through rocks like tofu!" Song Shuling heard this and touched the Zhenwu Sword in her hand, pursed her lips, and said, "No."
Say something.
Zhou Xiong and other artillerymen were amazed when they saw how powerful the Dugu Xiaotian Divine Sword was. They unpacked the bag, took out the artillery components, placed them on the flat ground, and began to install them.
"We have a total of ten artillery pieces and a total of 60 divine fire shells. Are they enough?" Song Qingfeng asked, twisting his beard.
"It's enough to cover grain, ordnance, stables and other important areas." Dugu Xiaotian replied, taking out a map and adjusting the angle of the muzzle with Zhou Xiong and other artillery commanders against the Mongolian military camp in the distance.
In the time it took to burn the incense, the artillery was set up properly, the cannonballs were loaded, and they were ready to be fired at any time.
"Master Song, you lead twenty Wudang disciples to guard this place and protect the safety of the artillery and artillery. Shu Ling, Wuji, I will go to ambush near the enemy camp."
"General Zhou, at the third watch, take my fireworks and rockets as your signal. Every time I fire a firework rocket, you will fire a volley. After shooting three rounds, the muzzle will move one inch to the left, and then bombard the Nanzhai Gate of the Mongolian army camp with two rounds.
.In the last round, bomb the handsome account here." Dugu Xiaotian pointed his fingers and warned Zhou Xiong seriously. Zhou Xiong nodded and remembered them one by one. Song Qingfeng did not dare to neglect, and also firmly remembered the exact location.
After Dugu Xiaotian finished his instructions, he carried the Pingtian Sword on his back, kicked more than ten firework rockets in his arms, said goodbye to Song Qingfeng, and quietly sneaked down the mountain with more than fifty Qinggong masters from Wudang and Huashan.
When they reached the mountainside and the foot of the mountain, Dugu Xiaotian checked the ambush and left with peace of mind after a while.
In the southeast corner of the Mongolian military camp, in a patch of weeds 30 feet away, Dugu Xiaotian, Song Shuling, Leng Wuji, Wudang Sect Zhou Yunbi, the leader of the Huashan Sect and others were quietly lurking.
Song Shuling took out the hourglass from her arms and checked it. She looked at the sky again and whispered: "It's already the third watch!"
