The night was getting dark, and there were continuous bonfires on the secret road under the mountain ridge, like a long dragon circling seven or eight miles away. Jin Bing had no choice but to camp on the mountain road, which was really embarrassing.

In February, the land of Yanjing is still not much different from the mid-winter season. The north wind is biting and cold at night, making it unbearable. If you are camping, you will naturally have a simple camp. You are looking for a flat place with leeward wind, and you can also pitch a tent.

Keep out the cold. However, the space on the mountain road is limited, there are many soldiers and horses, and there is no place to stay when people are close to each other. How can we easily set up a tent to block the cold wind?

This section of the secret road winds around the middle of the mountain, and the wind is stronger in the valleys. The temperature in the mountains is much lower than the temperature outside, which is normal. Tonight, these Jin soldiers who camped are really suffering. No matter how bright the bonfire is,

It is also difficult to dispel the extremely cold weather at night.

Of course, for the senior generals in the army, there is no worry about the cold weather, because they have all set up tents. Coach Xiao Huaizhong's tent was set up meticulously even under such circumstances. It occupied the most of the gentle slope of the secret road of the Chinese army.

The best location to shelter from the wind, you will definitely not be affected by the cold wind.

At this moment, the lights in Xiao Huaizhong's tent were brightly lit. The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and it was very warm inside. Xiao Huaizhong even took off his leather hat and leather cloak. Even so, there were still traces of blood on the green scalp of his yin and yang head.

Some sweating.

In the big tent, several generals from the front camp were listening to Xiao Huaizhong's arrangements for tonight's attack. Xiao Zhengde had previously suggested a continuous attack, but Xiao Huaizhong vetoed it. However, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Huaizhong informed them that the generals from the front camp came to the camp to discuss matters tonight.

As for action, Xiao Zhengde has long been accustomed to Xiao Huaizhong's fickleness. It is no secret that Xiao Huaizhong has a foxy character and often breaks his promises.

"Guys, I called you here naturally for the purpose of fighting. It's really disgusting to have a few hundred thieves blocking the way of my army. They occupied the territory and gained momentum for a while, so they thought they could really use the mantis as a chariot.

, it’s really ridiculous. Originally, I didn’t take it seriously. This is not a failure, it’s just that they temporarily occupied the advantageous location and succeeded for a while.”

The generals hurriedly said: "What the marshal said is absolutely true."

Xiao Huaizhong nodded and said: "However, if this matter spreads, others will think that we have no way to deal with them. Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. I called you here to tell you that we will launch another attack tonight.

However, the loss of a hard attack is not small, and it is not the best option after all. I looked at the terrain and found that the mountain ridge occupied by the opponent rests on the east peak. We will climb the mountain from the side tonight, and then go around to their heads to attack them unexpectedly.

, will surely be able to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.”

All the generals were somewhat silent after hearing this, and they obviously had reservations about the plan proposed by Xiao Huaizhong.

"What? Do you think it's not feasible?" Xiao Huaizhong asked in a deep voice.

The generals looked at each other in shock and did not dare to speak. Xiao Zhengde said bravely: "The marshal's plan is indeed exquisite. This is called treating the other person with his own medicine. They take advantage of the geographical advantage, and we also use the geographical advantage to attack them. It is a good idea.

Plan. But..."

Xiao Huaizhong smiled and twirled his beard as he listened to Xiao Zhengde's words and heard him praising his plan, feeling quite proud. But when Xiao Zhengde changed the subject, he seemed to have some difficulties.

"But what? Just say whatever you have to say. Why are you hesitating?" Xiao Huaizhong frowned.

"Yes, let me tell you straight. I'm afraid we won't be able to climb the mountains to the east. The mountains are densely forested.

The mountain is covered with snow and the rocks are steep. It may be difficult for us to go up the mountain. If we are not careful, we will be broken into pieces. Besides, the mountain forest is dark, so it is not easy to climb through the dense forest. It is difficult to walk through the large forest sea alone." Xiao Zhengde said boldly.

Xiao Huaizhong's face darkened. This was the solution he came up with in a flash of inspiration. By going around the mountain, he could go straight to the hillside on the east side of the mountain ridge. By then, he would be condescending and cooperate with the attack on the slope, and he would succeed in one fell swoop. But Xiao Zhengde actually said this The difficulty really made Xiao Huaizhong a little angry.

"Zhengde, since I think this plan is difficult, but I don't know which one is more difficult than a frontal attack? I listen to your opinions and never act arbitrarily. In this case, tonight's plan will be changed to a direct attack on the ramp. You guys are going back to the camp to prepare and lead a forceful attack with your own troops and horses. Even if all the people in the front army are killed, you are not allowed to stop. If you die, I will personally lead the troops to continue. This is all It’s to your liking.”

The faces of all the generals changed, and they each dug out Xiao Zhengde fiercely with their eyes, thinking: It's okay now, we are all going to die. What are you doing, you bitch? It's self-defeating now, everyone is going to die. I'm going to be killed by you.

Xiao Zhengde was also startled. His intention was just to raise a question, but he didn't expect Xiao Huaizhong to ask his front army to attack the ramp tonight. This was not the result he wanted. The tragedy during the day today is still vivid in his mind. Eating and talking are already part of nature. Attacking the ramp? Isn’t that going to die?

"No, no, no, Marshal, I am not questioning the Marshal's plan. This plan is excellent. What I mean is that some people who are good at climbing through mountains and forests must be selected to implement this plan. Otherwise, the Marshal, a brilliant man The plan will definitely not be realized perfectly. It’s not that I think it’s difficult or flawed, in fact, I’m in awe of it.” Xiao Zhengde said quickly.

Xiao Huaizhong chuckled and said: "So that's what you meant, and I understand. It seems that you support my plan."

"Support, of course. Ten thousand support." Xiao Zhengde said hurriedly.

Xiao Huaizhong looked at the others, and the other generals nodded their heads, saying repeatedly that the plan was perfect and would definitely succeed, without any objections.

Xiao Huaizhong nodded and said: "Okay, since you all agree, don't delay and start taking action immediately. General Yelvmeng, is your hometown in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains? You have been accustomed to operating in the mountains and forests since you were a child. Tonight's interspersed plan You must be the leader. Tonight, you will lead a thousand soldiers to the hillside east of the mountain ridge. When you arrive, fire fireworks as a signal. Then you will attack the mountain ridge. Zhengde, you and other generals are ready. , once General Yelu reaches the top of the mountain ridge, you must lead the people to rush up the mountain ridge. Use a two-pronged approach to kill all the enemies and leave no one behind."

Yelumeng didn't expect that this job would eventually fall on him. But he couldn't refuse, otherwise the marshal might have to let the former army directly attack and die. Speaking of the experience of climbing through the mountains and cliffs, Yelumeng did his part. He was born in In the mountains and wilderness, he has been climbing over mountains, ridges, and forests since he was a child. He is the only one who is most suitable for this.

"The general will obey your orders!"

"The general will obey your orders!"

Everyone accepted the promise. Xiao Huaizhong put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Then take action immediately, I am waiting for your good news. If you succeed tonight, I will present a commendation to the court for you. If you fail, Engage in military law."

Everyone was filled with awe, and they all agreed and left quickly.

…

The night wind swept through the trees on the hillside, and the mountains and forests roared like thunderous waves.

On the high slope of Dongshan Mountain, Fang Zian, Zhang Ruomei and Shen Ling'er panted and climbed up the big stone on the ridge. On the stone, Feng Yiming was standing in the cold night wind, scanning the dark hillside and the mountains with eagle eyes like lightning. valley.

Feng Yiming had already seen the traces of Fang Zian and others, and was not surprised by their arrival.

"Brother Zian, you are here. I heard that today was a very tragic day, but you held on. It's really impressive. You did it." Feng Yiming said.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Brother Feng, are you itching to watch on the top of the mountain? Do you feel a little regretful that you were not able to participate in this battle?"

Feng Yiming laughed, shook his head and said: "Regret? I wish I didn't have to go to the battlefield from now on. I have fought too many battles, and I no longer need to go to war today to prove myself. I am also tired of the battlefield and tired of fighting."

Fang Zian nodded, looked at Feng Yiming and said: "Brother Feng, I'm sorry to disturb your pure life. However, although you are tired of fighting, sometimes you have to continue to do the things you are tired of. This is the helplessness of life. "

Feng Yiming nodded and said: "Don't be sorry, you help the prince, the prince saved my life, so I help you. When I say tired, I don't mean to be timid. In this world, if you don't kill people, people will kill you. A pure life? I never had."

Fang Zian chuckled and said: "Yes, the world is so big, there is no place for purity. No matter how much persistence and ideals you have when you are born as a human being, and you understand some principles, you will never be able to become pure."

Feng Yiming nodded slowly and agreed.

"Brother Feng, why didn't you ask me why I came?" Fang Zian asked with a smile.

Feng Yiming said in a deep voice: "Do you still have to ask? Did you judge that they would climb this mountain tonight and break into the camp from the hillside? So you came to help?"

Fang Zian asked: "What do you think, Brother Feng?"

Feng Yiming nodded and said: "I thought so too. So I stood in the forest and looked around. They had to go through the forest and go around the mountain ridge, and it was impossible to advance in the dark. I was looking for fire. In addition, I had sent people to set up defenses along the edge of the forest. , they will alert you once they notice any movement. They have no chance of achieving their goal. Zian, you don’t have to worry. In fact, you are not even here to help, you should take the time to sleep."

Fang Zian said: "It's not that I don't have confidence in you. I'm different from you. I don't want to miss any battle, so that I can withstand the test and baptism of the battlefield and achieve myself. Brother Feng, you can do whatever you want. , I’m not here to tell you what to do, but to listen to your arrangements.”

Feng Yiming said: "I'm serious, how can I coordinate you?"

Fang Zirong said: "The Yue Family Army is the best in the world, and Brother Feng is one of the best soldiers in the Yue Family Army. Compared with you, I am far behind. Therefore, you are fully qualified to be like this. I hope that in the future After we successfully return to the Song Dynasty, eradicate the traitors, and assist the prince in ascending the throne, you and I can become true friends. I like people like Brother Feng, and I am willing to make friends with people like you."

Feng Yiming smiled and said: "Are we still friends?"

Fang Zian said: "I'm talking about true friends, not friends who gather together because of interests."
