Chapter one hundred and eighty fourth battle
Yang Nianxi, Zhang Sanfeng, Master Kong Jian, Master Miejie, He Taichong, Xian Yutong, Guan Neng and several old men entered the back hall to discuss countermeasures. After a while, everyone returned from the back hall to the hall. Xiang Yan was stunned and said: "
Did they discuss it so quickly?" Zhou Zhiruo whispered: "What are they discussing? Apart from Gang Leader Yang, who else among those people has fought in the war?" Xiang Yan asked again: "Then what are they doing in the back hall?
"Zhou Zhiruo said: "Of course it was Gang Leader Yang who made the suggestion, and the others applauded and agreed."
After everyone came to the hall, Yang Nianxi began to assign people to build fortifications at the entrance of the valley: martial arts masters holding swords were cutting down trees; those with empty hands were transporting trees; masters holding long weapons were digging holes and burying piles; and some people were building a road.
The wooden wall that spans the valley. Behind the unfinished wooden wall, there is a three-foot-high platform on which Yang Nianxi and others stand.
These people were discussing while issuing orders, and the messengers flew up and down along the podium - the podium was very crude, not even a ladder. Fortunately, everyone had light skills, so climbing up to the podium was a piece of cake.
When Yang Nianxi patrolled the wooden wall at night, Xiang Yan found the opportunity to ask Yang Nianxi, "Gang leader Yang, what are we doing with this wooden wall?" Yang Nianxi said, "To stop the Tatar cavalry."
Yan nodded and said, "Oh!" He then said, "Why don't we defend on the mountainside? It's definitely impossible for the Tatars to charge up the mountain on horseback." Yang Nianxi said, "The mountain road is narrow and our people can't move on the mountainside.
There are not many manpower to fight the Tatars. In addition, Lingshi, Zhang Zhenren, and Master Kong Jian do not support setting up defenses on the mountainside, and they all advocate defending the foot of the mountain."
Xiang Yan wondered in his heart: "It seems that Zhang Sanfeng, Master Jiejie
They are very confident about fighting Yuan Bing this time! But why do they think we can defeat Yuan Bing with fewer attacks and more?"
Xiang Yan asked again: "What is the sand in the wooden wall used for?" Yang Nianxi said: "The wooden wall is uneven. If it is not filled with sand, it will not be stable. The gaps on the sides can easily be penetrated by arrows. In addition, the wooden wall is uneven.
Even if sand is buried in the wall, it can withstand the Tatar rockets." Xiang Yan couldn't help but be speechless: "There are so many ways to build a wooden wall."
Xiang Yan then asked: "What is the pit behind the wall for?" Yang Nianxi said: "That is a horse pit, used to block the Tatar cavalry when we retreat." Xiang Yan said in shock: "We can't defeat the Tatars.
Why do you want to prepare a horse trap for retreat?" Yang Nianxi smiled and said: "The number of Tatars is more than ten times ours, and they are well-equipped and well-trained. How do you think we can win?"
Xiang Yan said: "Since you know you can't defeat it, why don't you just retreat to the mountainside to defend?" Yang Nianxi said: "You can't defeat it even if you retreat to the mountainside. Do you think you can defeat it if you retreat to the mountainside?"
: "Although this battle is definitely lost, we can't just run away without seeing the Tatars in person! No matter what, we have to fight the Tatars before running away."
Xiang Yan asked again: "What is the wood piled behind there for?" Yang Nianxi said: "It is used to set fire during the retreat." Xiang Yan praised: "Gang Leader Yang is really far-sighted and considerate." Yang Nianxi
He smiled and said: "Isn't there a "Suicide Note of Wu Mu" in Emei? If you read "The Suicide Note of Wu Mu" well and fight a few battles with the Tatars, you will naturally understand this."
After breaking up with Yang Nianxi, Xiang Yan went to Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Senior sister, Emei has "Wu Mu Yiyi"
"Book"?" Zhou Zhiruo was stunned and said: "Yes. Do you want to read "Wu Mu's suicide note"? I will borrow it for you." Xiang Yan said again: "Since Emei also has "Wu Mu's suicide note", why are you giving the command now?
Ours is Gang Leader Yang? Our Emei teacher has never even made suggestions to Gang Leader Yang?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Gang Leader Yang has participated in the battle between the rebels and the Tatars. She is more experienced in fighting, so she will naturally take command this time. Although Emei also has "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", we in Emei are a martial arts sect. You
Have you ever seen any martial arts person reading military books? The division commander of our sect has neither read military books nor been on the battlefield, so what advice can he give to Gang Leader Yang?"
In the early morning of the next day, the leading troops of the Yuan soldiers arrived at the foot of Mount Emei, and the heroes were all ready. Yang Nianxi, Zhang Sanfeng and more than ten people stood on the command platform and gave orders. The heroes were divided into three teams - one team was on the wooden wall preparing to face the Yuan soldiers.
; One team was under the wooden wall preparing to replace the people on the wooden wall; another team was resting outside the range of the Yuan soldiers' bows and arrows. Disciples from Emei, Wudang and the Beggar Clan were organized into the first team to guard the wooden wall.
The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty stood still, and one man rode his horse and rushed nearby, shouting to the heroes: "Listen, everyone on the mountain, the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court are here just for..." Before the man finished shouting, an arrow suddenly shot out from behind, and the soldiers were shot.
The man was shot to death. Xiang Yan looked back and saw that there seemed to be a dispute between Master Miejie and Master Kongjian.
A group of Yuan soldiers rushed towards the wooden wall. As they approached, a group of black dots suddenly appeared among the Yuan soldiers. This group of black dots drew an arc in the sky and landed on everyone's heads. A scream came first.
