After hearing this, the soldiers of Qianlong Camp who were originally complaining because they didn't wait for the game, stood up one after another with surprised expressions on their faces.
After they came to Shanhaiguan, they first wasted seven days, and then transported food and grass for seven days. Less than half a month passed, and they didn't even see the shadow of any achievements. Why did the commander say this?
Li Changkong saw the confused looks in everyone's eyes and sighed secretly in his heart. If things go on like this, there will definitely be problems. Fortunately, now, things have turned around!
"I just received a top-secret message. There are thieves from the Northern Yuan Dynasty who want to rob the next batch of food and grass!"
"Not only that, but he also wants to pretend to be a food transport team and enter the customs, and do such dirty things!"
"Killing them is a great achievement!"
"Gentlemen, do you still dare to fight with me!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd of Qianlong Camp soldiers suddenly burst into commotion.
Some people still didn't believe it and asked loudly: "General, are you serious about this?"
"If there is any lie, I, Li Changkong, have the head on my neck. You can just come and get it!"
Hearing this, the whole army was shocked.
"Since the general has said so, what reason do we have to back down?"
"That's right! I came here this time to go into battle and kill the enemy. Now that a great opportunity is presented to me, is there any reason to back down?"
"Very good!" Li Changkong looked around and saw that all the soldiers were excited and eager to fight, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly.
This Qianlong Camp is indeed an elite, and even half a month of wasted time cannot erase the spirit in his heart!
"Where is the messenger?"
"Young man is here!" Li Changkong gave an order, and the messenger stood up from the crowd with firm eyes and an excited expression.
"Very good! You can quickly spread what I just said to Guan Nei!"
"The message was passed to General Zheng Lun, did you understand?"
"clear!"
After the ordering soldiers left quickly, Li Changkong looked at the many remaining soldiers and continued: "The rest have been waiting for me and training day and night for the past few days!"
"In my opinion, the next food transport convoy will arrive within the next few days. By then, it will be the time for us to have a bloody battle with the Beiyuan Barbarians!"
"No!" The three thousand soldiers of Qianlong Camp were all excited and seemed to be looking forward to that day.
…
Two days later, Jia Taisui came flying from a distance and said, "Here we come!"
"The grain transport convoy is about thirty miles away from here."
When Li Changkong heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Old Zhang goes to mobilize the soldiers, and Lao Jia continues to inquire!"
"Let's meet at Xiaogushan behind Hulukou!"
"Hulukou, Xiaogushan?" Zhu Ben was a little surprised and asked, "What's the point of these two places?"
"Of course there is. Hulukou is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is an excellent place to set up an ambush. If I were from Beiyuan, I would definitely set up an ambush here, block the exit, and rob the grain transport convoy!"
"And Xiaogushan is located directly north of Hulukou. Not only can you clearly see the inside of Hulukou, but Xiaogushan cannot be seen from Hulukou!"
"If my guess is correct, the Beiyuan people really set up an ambush here. Then we occupying Xiaogushan will have an absolute geographical advantage. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat!"
"At that time, when the Beiyuan people enter the Hulukou first, we will kill all the Beiyuan people guarding the exit and replace them, and we will catch turtles in an urn!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Even Zhang Han couldn't help but admire: "Old Li, you can be considered as repaying the other person in the same way."
"I'm afraid that the people of Beiyuan will never guess that they died under their own scheme."
"Without further ado, take action!" Li Changkong sneered, with murderous intent in his eyes!
…
Half an hour later, Xiaogushan.
Li Changkong and his three thousand Qianlong Camp soldiers were already in position and well ambush, waiting for the arrival of the turtle in the urn.
Soon after, Zhu Ben came.
"Old Li, the grain transport team is only seven or eight miles away from here."
Li Changkong nodded after hearing this, as he expected.
After a while, Jia Taisui also came.
However, his face looked a little ugly.
He did not tell the information in front of the entire army. Instead, he walked up to Li Changkong and others and whispered: "Oh no, Beiyuan's army must be at least ten thousand strong."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Han and Zhu Ben's faces suddenly became ugly.
"Are they crazy? It's just a food transport team that requires 10,000 people?" Zhu Ben felt that this world was extremely ridiculous.
"If there are only a few thousand people, we can still swallow more than ten thousand... The difference between us and the enemy is really huge, how about... we should withdraw first? Wait until the reinforcements from the pass arrive, and then make plans?" Zhang Hand said.
However, Li Changkong shook his head: "When the reinforcements from the pass arrive, this great achievement will already belong to others. How will it be the turn of outsiders like us?"
"But we can't swallow this team at all! There are more than 10,000 people. No matter how elite the Qianlong Battalion is, it is still a fledgling army. How can we fight one against three!" Zhang Han was a little anxious. He felt that Li Changkong was a little over the top.
Facing Zhang Han's warning, Li Changkong turned a deaf ear and frowned. After thinking for a moment, Li Changkong suddenly became happy!
"Old Jia, there are many ferocious beasts in these deep mountains and forests, right?"
"Yes!" Jia Taisui was a little confused, but still answered truthfully.
"Lao Zhu, I remember you were very good at taming bees. You could even tame a wasp. Can you tame this beast?"
When Zhu Ben heard this, he was immediately stunned: "This...I, I haven't tried it either."
"A wasp doesn't even understand human nature. This ferocious beast is at least equivalent to me, a human child. It has some humanity. Since you can tame a wasp, ferocious beasts will naturally not be a problem."
"You don't need to participate in the next battle. You can go into the deep forest to tame or drive them away."
"I just want you to wait for my order. Once the order is given, I want a group of ferocious beasts to rush to the gourd mouth in groups. Is it possible to do it?"
"Ah? I...I don't know!" Zhu Ben felt that he was being put in a difficult position.
"Since Lao Zhu has no problem, let's continue discussing the next step!"
"No! Why don't I have a problem? I have a problem! There is a big problem!" Zhu Ben was going crazy. After all, this was a matter of life and death. How could he make such a hasty decision?
"Old Jia, throw this guy into the mountains."
"Remember, use the rocket as your signal when the time comes! If you see the rocket rising into the sky, drive the beast away and come in through the exit!"
"I...I'll try my best!"
"It's not about trying your best, it's about doing it!" As soon as Li Changkong finished speaking, Zhu Ben was grabbed by Jia Taisui and thrown into the distant forest.
"Next, as the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as we can capture the opponent's leader first, by then, let alone three thousand versus ten thousand, or even three thousand versus one hundred thousand, we can fight!"
