Zhang Zhidong said: "It should be said that the full name of the book is "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This book is profound and excellent. There is a short paragraph in the book. It is a story about the period when the Wei Kingdom destroyed the Shu Kingdom. The Wei army at that time General Deng Ai led his army to attack Sichuan. It would be very difficult for Deng Ai to lead his soldiers to attack from the front. Therefore, Deng Ai chose a dangerous trail that had been abandoned for many years. Although the road was difficult and dangerous, he persisted and finally succeeded in killing him. Go out and win unexpectedly."
After a pause, Zhang Zhidong continued: "If we attack Sankou Pavilion head-on, we will also face great difficulties. The situation is almost the same as that of Deng Ai. It is easy to hurt the soldiers under his command, and the effect will not be good. If we can find a place I think the trail leading to Sankou Pavilion must be effective. In addition, Sankou Pavilion is located in two mountains and forests. Since it is a mountain forest, there must be a mountain trail. I suggest that our two roads be divided into two groups. You Russian soldiers are responsible for exploring the mountains and forests on the right side of Sankou Pavilion, while we Qing soldiers are responsible for exploring the mountains and forests on the left side of Sankouting Pavilion. How about we investigate the situation separately."
The left and right directions mentioned by Zhang Zhidong have changed again.
Standing outside the Three-Kou Pavilion and looking at the mountain forest on the right, standing inside the Three-Kou Pavilion and looking at the left side of Sanlin, that is where Li Zhen deployed his soldiers, so Zhang Zhidong gave Mulla the opportunity to find the trail. Vijov.
However, Muravyov shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, I have sent soldiers to secretly explore the mountains and forests two days ago, but nothing was found."
Zhang Zhidong asked: "The soldiers went to explore the road and asked the local people."
Muravyov looked at his generals and the answer he got was no.
Zhang Zhidong shrugged and said: "The people who know the situation of Sankou Pavilion and Sanlin best must be the local people. The soldiers who go out to investigate the situation must ask more local people to understand the situation of Sankou Pavilion better, so as to find out The road leading to the interior of Sankou Pavilion, and then defeat Li Zhen in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Muravyov did not insist and nodded in agreement with Zhang Zhidong's suggestion.
After arranging the personnel, Yishan and Muravyov each sent soldiers to investigate. Within one day, the soldiers sent by Yishan returned without success. The soldiers sent by Muravyov finally found the trail that Li Zhen had explored in the past.
When the news came back, Muravyov suddenly became excited.
Unexpectedly, there is really a trail.
Zhang Zhidong stared at Muravyov and said: "Mr. Governor, although we have discovered the path leading to Sankou Pavilion, I think we should first send a group of soldiers to check whether there are any soldiers stationed on the other side. If there are any soldiers stationed there, soldiers, then what we are considering is how to kill these soldiers without anyone noticing and ensure that our traces are not discovered. If the other party does not arrange for soldiers to be stationed, we will drive straight in without delay."
Muravyov glanced at Zhang Zhidong and said: "I have done what you said. The brothers have found out clearly that there are no soldiers in the mountains and forests. This is a big loophole exposed by Li Zhen's army."
At this moment, Muravyov's tone was very strange, as if he said Zhang Zhidong did not need to intervene. Muravyov was repeatedly refuted by Zhang Zhidong and did not like Zhang Zhidong, so he spoke unkindly.
Zhang Zhidong smiled slightly and said: "In that case, I wish the governor's soldiers can successfully enter the three-kou pavilion and cooperate with us inside and outside. However, I have to remind you that I hope the governor will not miss this great opportunity, otherwise It will affect the time for our army to conquer Sankou Pavilion."
Muravyov snorted and said: "Konisky, take a brigade of three thousand soldiers into the mountains and forests, open up the situation, and enter the Three-Kou Pavilion as soon as possible. I will build up momentum outside the Three-Kou Pavilion to attract Li Zhen's attention. force."
Koniski said: "Mr. Governor, please rest assured that it will be completed."
A look of excitement appeared on Konisky's face. He had finally transformed from a guard beside Muravyov to a soldier, which meant that his road to promotion and wealth was not far away.
…
Three-port pavilion, on the tower of the fortress.
Peng Yulin reported in front of Li Zhen: "Your Majesty, the soldiers sent news earlier that the Russian soldiers discovered the trail in the mountain forest. When the Russian soldiers were investigating, the soldiers temporarily hid themselves to avoid the Russian soldiers. After investigation, there will definitely be a Russian army coming from the mountain trail next, and we can make arrangements to annihilate them."
Li Zhen said: "Let's get ready. Hey, it would be better if Muravyov personally led the soldiers. If Muravyov is captured, all problems will be solved."
…
The sky was bright and sunny, and because there were many woods in the mountains and they were close to the deep mountains and old forests, the eyes could not reach them. In addition, there was countless snow in the forest, and there was a slight chill, which made the Russian soldiers on the way feel very cold. Soldiers We were moving forward in the mountains and forests. Although there were trails, it was still difficult to keep going.
It took half a day to reach the top of the mountain peak and start climbing.
All the way up, the road was very rough. It was a winding and steep mountain road, and it was also a winding path. It was very inconvenient. A brigade of three thousand people became a long snake, like a snake wrapped around the mountain forest. The soldiers Knowing that this task was difficult and that he was shouldering the important task of defeating Li Zhen, he gritted his teeth and endured it, helping each other up.
Konisky said: "Brothers, work harder, we will reach the top in half an hour,"
Compared to going down, climbing up is very slow.
When Koniski and his soldiers were about to climb to the top, he became more and more anxious. He stopped for a short rest and took a breath before continuing to climb.
"Thud, tug, tug,,."
When Koniski was full of confidence, intensive gunshots suddenly rang out from the top of the mountain. The moment Koniski heard it, he shuddered in fright. He looked up and saw that machine guns appeared one after another on the top of the mountain, as well as Densely packed Qing soldiers stood on the top of the mountain and opened fire.
"Puff, puff,."
Under the intensive bullet attack, the soldiers on the mountain road were attacked and their steps were unsteady.
At this point, Konisky was stunned.
We clearly found out that there was no ambush on the mountain, so why did the Qing army suddenly appear?
Konisky knew that Li Zhen's soldiers controlled the commanding heights, and since it was difficult to climb up this place, the only option was to retreat, so Konisky ordered the retreat. At the moment Konisky ordered the retreat, people at the foot of the mountain Dense gunshots were heard again, and countless Qing soldiers emerged from the forest at the foot of the mountain, aiming their guns at the Russian soldiers on the mountainside.
A combined attack on the mountain and down the mountain gave Konisky desperate thoughts.
It is difficult to escape even with wings.
There was no way to escape now, and the only way out was to retreat down. Konisky ordered the soldiers to go down, go down the mountain as soon as possible, and prepare to withdraw from the mountain forest. This was the first time he led troops alone to encounter such a scene, and he was likely to face Death threats.
All this is so unhappy.
