Mangya Mountain.
The mountain is not high, and there is a flat land halfway up the mountain, which is very suitable for camping. There is also a cave with two mountain springs.
Zhang Guang led his men immediately halfway up the mountain. He stood on a huge rock and glanced at his team.
Without those obedient Han auxiliary soldiers, all the capable Mongolian soldiers were capable and fierce, which was much more pleasing to the eye.
Even some wounded soldiers are not afraid of trouble. Those with serious injuries may not survive, but those with minor injuries will definitely get better.
The Mongolian people are a fighting nation. They came from the white water and black mountains. They have rough skin and thick flesh.
"You two lead the troops to cut down the trees and build the mountain stronghold according to the terrain."
"You two, lead the troops to set up tents and build a granary to store food. The granary is the top priority. It must be kept away from the ground and repaired tightly to ensure food safety."
Zhang Guang put one hand on his hips and held the handle of the knife at his waist with the other. He lowered his head and gave order to his centurions in an orderly manner.
"Yes." After receiving the order, the centurion immediately responded, turned around and went down.
Zhang Guang took a look and saw that the soldiers put down their weapons without complaining, picked up their hatchets to chop down trees, and set up tents. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. He thought for a moment, jumped down from the rock, and asked a centurion: "Talha. How many days can our food last?"
"According to the normal portion, you can still eat it for twenty-five days. If you save a little, you can eat it for thirty-five days, or even longer."
Talha, who was tall and had a fierce look on his face, said without thinking.
"Let's follow the thirty-five day schedule. Although I don't know if General Jin will enter the mountain in person, the supporting troops will definitely come. It took us more than twenty days to clear the road into the mountain. If I were In Wu Nian, the roads will still be blocked. It will also take a similar amount of time for the reinforcements to arrive. But we still have enough time to spare, and we cannot estimate the time."
Zhang Guang thought for a moment and said to Talha.
They don’t have the logistics, but that’s okay. The reinforcements will definitely bring food. As long as the reinforcements arrive and besiege Beishan Fort on three sides again, he is very confident that the battle will be resolved within ten days.
After breaking into Beishan Fort, food, women, massacre, everything was available.
Let the soldiers let go of their hands and feet, act recklessly, and vent their anger.
This battle was indeed not pretty, and it was also hard work.
After learning about the food situation, Zhang Guang first went to check out the nearby mountain streams, and then went into the cave to look at two mountain springs.
Although he killed all the Han auxiliary soldiers, he still left his guides behind. The guide promised that these two mountain springs will flow out all year round.
Guarding the mountain, there are springs and food.
It is stronger than guarding a castle.
Castles can be sieged. How to lay siege to the cottage on the mountain? Not to mention heavy siege equipment, it is difficult to set up ladders.
After wandering around for a while, Zhang Guang returned to the rock and stood up, taking a look around. Thanks to the hard work of the soldiers, the cottage has begun to take shape.
"Hahaha. Now the offense and defense have switched. We can't capture his Beishan Fortress, and he can't capture my Mangya Mountain. If he's not afraid of death, he can attack." Zhang Guangzhi was so proud that he put his hands on his hips and laughed. stand up.
The centurions around him also laughed cooperatively.
"It's just Wu Nian. He only dared to do evil because of the castle and conspiracy. Now that we have a good location, how can he dare to come here?"
"If he dares to come, I don't need you to take action personally. I will lead three centurions to defeat Wu Nian."
"Yeah. Without Beishan Fort, Wu Nian would be worth at most three centurions' worth of troops."
Although they failed three times in a row, they were all defeated by Wu Nian's machinations. Although he feels aggrieved, his fighting spirit remains unchanged.
Now the offense and defense switch, they start to defend the cottage. It seemed like I had found my footing, and I felt confident.
"Look, sir. There are people moving on that mountain." At this time, a Mongolian soldier pointed to a nearby mountain and said.
Zhang Guang turned around and saw a crowd of people on the mountain.
"Don't panic. These are the people who are watching. Wu Nian really doesn't dare to attack Mangya Mountain. Haha." Zhang Guang looked at it and said disapprovingly.
"Let's go. Light up the fire and cook the wine. Have a sip of wine to warm yourself up." Zhang Guang jumped off the rock again and said hello.
"Yes." The centurions glanced disdainfully at the men and horses on the opposite hill, then responded and followed Zhang Guang into the tent.
Wu Nian divided his troops into four parts.
Zhang Jin, Tieniu, and Liu Wu each led some troops to build fortifications on the three main roads. He himself led Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng to a mountain next to Mangya Mountain to monitor Zhang Guang's situation.
Li Yong led the militiamen and stayed in Beishan Fort to coordinate the overall situation.
His camp has just been set up.
It started to snow.
It was raining heavily with hail and snow. The soldiers saw hailstones the size of eggs falling, and they hurriedly ran away to avoid the hailstones, but a few unlucky ones were still injured.
Wu Nian stood at the entrance of the tent, looking up at the falling snowflakes in the sky and listening to the thumping sound of hail falling on the trees.
The corners of his mouth turned up, and his smile gradually grew bigger and bigger. Finally his mouth opened and he let out a loud laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng beside him also laughed and felt refreshed.
It's really snowing.
This is a good start, if it snows heavily for three days and three nights in a row.
Heavy snow closed the mountains.
When the laughter subsided, Wu Nian turned back to Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng and said: "Brothers, God is helping us. Zhang Guang, I will take it. If Jin Huanshan is not convinced, he will lead his troops to fight against me. "
"General. You just said that because he couldn't get in." Wang Gui made a joke.
"Isn't that natural? How can I compete with him on flat ground?" Of course Wu Nian was not angry and laughed again.
It's great if your fist is big, but if you can't hit it with a big fist, I'm asking you if you're angry?
Wu Nian has always admitted that the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers were tyrannical and Jin Huanshan was tyrannical.
He is indeed inferior, but that doesn't mean he can't win.
Ha ha.
The three brothers looked at the heavy snow in the sky and talked and laughed for a while. Wu Nian is hungry. In winter, he consumes a lot of food.
"Li You. Go and bring the wine and meat in." Wu Nian ordered a soldier in the tent.
"Yes." The soldier responded and immediately went down.
Soon after, several soldiers brought wine and meat. The three Wu Nian brothers were also down-to-earth and did not let their own soldiers wait on them.
The three of them cooked wine, grilled meat, drank heavily, and ate large pieces of meat.
Wu Nian drank and ate happily here.
Zhang Guang's side was numb.
CTM.
