Chapter 411 There is a different world
It took two days to cross the short distance between two peaks and valleys, secretly cleared 11 secret sentries along the way, and finally peeked outside the mountain pass where the thieves' battalion was stationed in the early morning of the third day.
Leaning on the cold ice and snowy hillside, I saw that the three peaks in front of me stood in a zig shape, and the peaks were tightly connected, surrounded by a courtyard-like valley, and the valley mouth was facing the direction of the ancient plank road in the north.
The mouth of the valley is an arch bridge-shaped beam, which is connected above, and there is a natural door hole below, which is like an axe, forming a natural fortress gate. Above the beam, you can see artificially piled up the wooden pile wall, and many figures go back and forth on it. There are two huge wooden doors at the huge door hole below, tightly locking the mountain road into the valley.
Song Nan's heart beat. Such a magical place was actually found by the thief soldiers. It was indeed a place to hold on. And in just a few months, they had already had some business. No wonder they made a mistake in their judgment and thought that they would break out of the mountain after it snowed, but the thief soldiers did the opposite and stayed here.
"Lord Song, the inner side of the valley is full of cliffs, and it is impossible to enter the valley from the mountain wall at all, and there are several sentries at the tops of the three peaks, which can not only watch the enemy, but also have a beacon alarm station. I'm afraid it is impossible to enter the valley from elsewhere."
Zhao Yu saw Song Nan's eyebrows looking at the peak and lost no time to make up for it.
"Shut up, no one treats you as a mute if you don't talk. Don't you have eyes? We can all see the beacon watchtower on the top of the mountain. Wang Yong scolded in a low voice.
Zhao sneered, but his heart was quite proud. How capable do you think you are? I brought you here. What can you do? It is clear that the camp is here. Do you have a way to break through it?
Song Nan looked carefully for a while and saw that the defense of the valley mouth is really strong. This terrain only needs to stand on the beam of the valley mouth and defend with bows and arrow stones. No matter how many officers and soldiers there are, it will not help. Valley mouth can accommodate more than ten people to enter side by side. No matter how large the number of soldiers and horses is, it can only be used, and can only become a living target above.
Look at the green smoke in the valley, and you can faintly see the wooden house, stone house tents and other things. It can be seen that it is indeed the nest of the thief soldiers. Unfortunately, when you enter the mountain, you can't bring General Zankou in, otherwise you can carry out long-range bombing. More than 20 door generals can turn the valley upside down.
"For today's plan, we can only find a way from the side cliff, and maybe we can unconsciously take down the lookout and warning platform on the side cliff." Song Nan pointed to the terrain and discussed with Wang Yong.
"But this man said that there are many hidden whistles on the hillside on the side, and he can't do them without knowing it." Wang Yong frowned and said, "Besides, the fire gun around the camp cannot be used for the time being, otherwise its whereabouts will be exposed."
Song Nan nodded and agreed that when he got to the left of the old nest, he could not quickly solve it with fire in the dark whistles or in the cave woods like halfway. It is not known. Although the roar of the fire can be heard, it takes a short time to solve the enemy cleanly. After the instantaneous sound, it calmed down, and on the contrary It will not attract the attention of the next dark whistle.
As hesitating, Zhao Yu said, "I know a secret path up the mountain. Along the way, it is not under the surveillance of the sentry station and the alarm station. If you have real ability, I guarantee that you can destroy the ears and eyes of the mountain."
Song Nan was stunned and looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Is there such a good thing?"
Zhao said, "Of course it's not so cheap. I won't tell you this news for nothing. I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"I tell you the route, and you let me go. Although we have reached an agreement and you promised to spare my life, I went to Beijing to be tried, not to mention the punishment, and finally assigned to the border city as a slave of the armored man. I don't want to suffer that crime. To be honest, I might as well be killed by you in such a life.
Song Nan said coldly, "Zhao Yu, I thought you were a trustworthy person, but I didn't expect you to keep your back hand and blackmail me here."
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Lord Song, we are tacit. It seems that we have no way to live at all. After making it clear, you said that you would spare me not die before was just perfunctory to me. Don't think I don't know. You lied to me and I lied to you, and everyone was even."
Song Nan said, "What if I don't agree?"
Zhao said, "Then Lord Song will find a way to attack the valley by yourself. I won't serve you. If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want. Don't blame me for not warning you that your soldiers and horses are useless in front of such terrain. If you can't sneak into the valley to fight outside, not to mention your thousands of officers and soldiers, ten times more is useless. Although we eat, drink and live very simple, when we entered the mountain, dozens of fire guns in the Yizhou Armory were caught, and almost everyone had a set of bows and arrows. Seven or eight hundred bundles of arrows were also brought in painstakingly. In the early winter, we also made a lot of bamboo javels in the mountain. In short, tens of thousands of people could not want to enter the valley. Maybe Lord Song has a lot of soldiers, but he is not afraid of the death of 350,000.
Wang waved his hand bravely and shouted, "Don't make me angry. If you piss me off, I will make up my mind not to make this deal."
Wang Yong said angrily, "Then I will invite you to taste the 18 punishments of Jinyiwei."
Zhao Qi sneered and said, "I'm not afraid. At worst, I will rush to the cliff and have a good time."
Wang Yong was still waiting to scold. Song Nan waved her hand with a calm face and said, "Okay, stop it, Zhao Yu, that's the condition I promise you."
Zhao Yi laughed and said, "Lord Song still knows the overall situation, and your subordinates will play tricks and become a big weapon."
Song Nan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What are you saying? Don't piss me off. If you mess with me, I won't enter the valley. I will also torture you to death. At worst, the men will withdraw from the mountain and besiege. I don't believe that these thousands of thieves can live in the mountain for a lifetime. I'm afraid the military food you brought in is about to bottom out. Is it possible for you to open up fields and grow grain in the valley as farmers?
Zhao was shocked. Song Nan said that he hit the door of life. When the officers and soldiers entered the mountain, the thieves said that the officers and soldiers were stupid. Obviously, they only needed to be trapped outside the mountain, and the thieves inside for a long time would not be able to support it; but they had to come into the mountain. At this moment, it seems that it is not that the officers and soldiers do not know the simplest way, but for another reason.
"Are you sleepy?" Zhao Wei's mouth is as hard as a dead duck's mouth, but his momentum is much weaker.
Song Nan spread out the map, ordered his personal guard to bring pen and ink, marked the location of the three peaks on the map, and said to Zhao Yu, "I want to launch an attack from the peak on the right. You mark a route."
Zhao took the pen and suddenly said, "The peak on the right is not easy to move. I only know the secret route of the peak on the left."
Song Nan frowned and said, "How can it be? The hillside on the left looks bare and there is no place to hide. There are many forest boulders on the right, but why is it much easier on the left?"
Zhao opened his mouth and said blankly, "Who are you going to ask me?" Anyway, I only know the passage of the peak on the left, and I don't know on the right. If you want to go up from the right, I can't guarantee that you won't be noticed by the sentry.
Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "Well, according to you, let's go up to the mountain on the left."
Zhao said, "It's better for Lord Song to come with me. I don't agree with him. I don't care if I quarreled with him all the way."
Wang Yong scolded angrily, "Fuck your mother, are you looking for a fight?"
Song Nan hurriedly said, "That's all. I'll take someone with you."
Wang Yong hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, there is no reason for you to clear the thief's sentry post and alarm station in person, but you stay behind."
After Song Nan pulled Wang Yong to the rock, she whispered, "The mountain on the right is densely forested. You can take people up from the right. After solving the sentry on the mountain, we both fell into the valley with long ropes at the same time, launched an attack at the same time, created chaos in the valley, and then let the army that came took the opportunity to rush into the valley. In comparison, Zhao Yu is much safer as a hostage, but it's you, so be careful.
Wang Yong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Song Nan smiled and said, "I can avoid the sentry, so I can only take 20 people. You can bring more people, and the remaining 80 people belong to you. In case you are found on the mountain, you can get out with more people. Don't argue. That's it. This is a military order.
Wang Yong did want to refuse, but Song Nan had cut off his words in advance; Song Nan waved to Li Daniu and said, "Where is the army now?"
Li Daniu said, "Last night, General Xu Tai sent soldiers and said that they had met with Lord Jiang's soldiers and horses and are now on their way. The road is not easy to walk, and the army is scattered on the slopes of the valley and marching, and I'm afraid it will not be very fast. But after all, the road has been tripped by us. Although it is difficult, it is estimated that we should arrive tomorrow morning. ."
Song Nan calculated and said, "If we arrive tomorrow morning, then we will start in the early morning. Wang Yong ordered the brothers to stand by while the sun comes out and have a good sleep on the rocks. After dark, we will act in the dark. If everything goes well, we can go back to the morning to eliminate the thief squad."
