Although it was late at night, the lights in the combat command room were brightly lit. When Jin Feng arrived, Zhang Liang, Da Zhuang, Hou Hou and others also arrived.
There was a stretcher on the ground, and a scout was lying on the stretcher. A female military doctor was treating the wound on his leg.
The scout's face was pale, but when he saw Jin Feng, he said anxiously without asking, "Sir, King Qin's army has arrived at Wutou Mountain!"
"Arrived at Wutou Mountain?"
Jin Feng's face couldn't help but become solemn.
The scouts came back so quickly. Jin Feng had already guessed the result before he came, but he didn't expect that the enemy had already arrived at Wutou Mountain!
Wutou Mountain is about forty miles away from Brass Valley. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
When formulating the battle plan, Jin Feng considered whether to place the main camp in Wutou Mountain, but because Brass Valley had wind-proof mines and sufficient water storage, Jin Feng finally chose Brass Valley.
There was only one way to go between Zhuangzhuanggou and Wutou Mountain. The Qin army occupied Wutou Mountain, blocking Jin Feng's retreat to the south.
By then, with the Dang Xiang's Southern Expeditionary Army led by Li Lingrui to the north and the King of Qin's army to the south, Brass Valley would be completely trapped in a pincer attack from the north and the south, with no other way to go except a small mountain road to the west.
The small mountain road going west leads to the coal mine. In fact, there was no road before. It was only after Jin Feng ordered the prisoners and criminals to dig the mine that he managed to find a road.
This small mountain road is only more than one meter wide in many places. Transportation teams using bicycles to carry coal have to queue up to pass by. Tens of thousands of Shu troops want to leave the small mountain road, even if no one stops them, it will take a lot of time!
Moreover, the hilly road ends when it reaches the coal mine, so there is no point in running there.
So once the escape route is blocked, Jin Feng and the others will be in a more dangerous situation than the original Yuguan City!
Because there is the sea to the east of Yuguan City, even if it is attacked from the north and the south, Jin Feng can still transport supplies to Yuguan City through the sea. However, there are towering cliffs on the east and west sides of Brass Valley, so nothing can be sent in!
Jin Feng realized the seriousness of the matter at that time, but he knew that the matter had reached this point and that anger and anxiety could not solve anything, so he forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there?"
"It was already dark when we discovered them. The squad leader originally wanted to take us over for reconnaissance, but before we could get close, we were discovered by their scouts."
The scout said: "Although the specific number of people was not found, when we fought with the other scouts, they lit a lot of torches. There were several miles between the nearest torch and the farthest torch. The squad leader judged that there were at least tens of thousands of people!
"
At this point, the scout's eyes turned red: "They seemed to have guessed that we were going and had an ambush in advance. We were at the end of the team and were almost surrounded. The squad leader led the brothers to block the enemy and asked me to come back to report..."
"At least tens of thousands of people?"
Hearing this answer, Jin Feng felt even heavier.
He originally thought that if the number of King Qin's troops was not large, he would immediately send people to raid Wutou Mountain and take control of the fortress in his own hands, but the scouts said that King Qin's army would be at least tens of thousands...
The terrain of Wutou Mountain is too steep, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the King of Qin's army is unable to withstand the attack, with tens of thousands of people taking advantage of the terrain, it will be difficult for the Shu army to rush through!
Jin Feng wanted to ask again, but the scout suddenly fell back and fainted.
"Sir, he was hit by arrows in his leg and left shoulder. The arrow in his leg should have punctured a blood vessel. Although his thigh was temporarily tied on the road, he still lost too much blood!"
The female military doctor explained: "It's lucky that he can hold on and run back. I asked him to go to the medical room, but he insisted on coming to report the enemy's situation to you first..."
"Hurry up and rescue him!" Jin Feng frowned and said, "No matter what, we must save his life!"
"Yes!" The female military doctor saluted Jin Feng and asked the escort to carry the scout away.
Only then did Jin Feng realize that the ground under the stretcher was stained red with blood.
Jin Feng sighed silently, frowned and walked to the map.
When Zuo Feifei arrived, she immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the command room was very depressed. Even the monkey and Chen Fengzhi, who had always been noisy, became quiet at this time.
Zuo Feifei glanced at Jin Feng who was standing in front of the map, walked silently to Qing Mulan, and asked in a low voice what happened.
Jin Feng stared at the map for more than ten minutes before turning around and looking at Monkey: "Monkey, you personally lead a team of people to find out what is going on with King Qin's army!"
"Yes!" Monkey straightened his back and gave a military salute: "I promise to complete the mission!"
Chen Fengzhi opened his mouth, wanting to ask for orders to join the monkey, but in the end he swallowed his words.
There are specialties in the art industry, and Tiehuying is good at storming and charging, not infiltration reconnaissance. If they follow the monkeys, they will be held back.
Monkey raised his eyebrows at Chen Fengzhi, turned around and left.
When I walked to the door, I heard Jin Feng reminding me: "Don't take the official route!"
There is only one official road between Zhuzhuanggou and Wutou Mountain. The scouts who set out before originally planned to split up after passing Wutou Mountain. However, they encountered an ambush from the other party's scouts on Wutou Mountain, and only one of them came back.
people!
Even if he knew that the enemy was already ambushing him, he would not take the official route again without Jin Feng reminding him.
But knowing that Jin Feng was caring about him, Monkey turned his head and grinned at Jin Feng: "Don't worry, sir!"
"Sir, although Monkey is usually unreliable, he never shows off when it comes to business. Wutou Mountain is so big, and we still have telescopes, so he will be fine."
Da Zhuang looked at the monkey's back and comforted him.
Jin Feng glanced at Da Zhuang but did not answer.
Because he knew that Da Zhuang was not comforting him, but comforting himself.
Although Da Zhuang bickers and fights with Monkey every day, the relationship between the two is very deep.
"Brother Liang, notify the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division to assemble at the south entrance and wait for the monkeys to investigate clearly. If there is a chance, immediately set off to seize Wutou Mountain!"
Jin Feng said coldly: "If there is no chance, let the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division assist the Seventh Division and garrison Nangukou!"
The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has grown to include more than 100,000 people. In the past, the highest unit was at the regiment level, but now it has grown to the military level.
Jin Feng is currently the only commander of the escort agency, and Zhang Liang is the deputy commander.
The previous focus of defense was Dangxiang's Southern Expedition Army in the north. The main force of the Shu Army was also concentrated in the north of Brass Valley. There was only one division of the Seventh Division at the mouth of the South Valley. Bayi Chinese website
The terrain of Nangukou is not as suitable for defense as Beitoukou. Now that the Qin King's army has reached Wutou Mountain, it will definitely not work if only the Seventh Division is stationed at Nangukou.
"Yes!" Zhang Liang hurriedly ran out and personally informed the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division to prepare for battle.
