The hilltop where Wu Nian is located.
God is very fair, and the snow is equally divided.
On the mountain stronghold, the soldiers were working hard to clear the snow. The action is very slippery. They are all from Liaodong and are very good at handling snow.
However, it is not common for it to snow heavily for three days and three nights in a row.
There are also quite a few soldiers who are cutting down trees and cooking breakfast.
And the clean snow has become a source of water.
Their external situation is exactly the same as that of the Mongolian people. Just a little bit.
Wu Nian has brought enough food. If there is not enough food, he can send someone to Li Yong to transport it.
Outside the cottage. On a cleared mountainous area, Wu Nian wore boots made of deerskin and looked up at Mangya Mountain in front of him. Behind him were Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng. The three of them stood with their swords in hand, looking very imposing.
"General. This time the mountain is overwhelming. Zhang Guang will never be able to make a comeback." Wang Gui said with a happy face.
"Yes. It snowed heavily for three days and three nights. It was difficult for him to go out." Zhang Sheng also nodded heavily and smiled.
Wu Nian shook his head, his expression serious.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng looked at each other, both confused. Why are you still not happy about this?
"The more critical the situation is, the less likely we are to underestimate the enemy. Now the Meng Yuan people still have food, their soldiers are elite, and their morale is not bad. If I were Zhang Guang, I would break through at a fixed point. Let Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, and Tieniu Be careful. Order our soldiers to prepare for battle."
Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
There are only two ways for the Mongolian people.
One is to break through immediately and engage in a bloody battle.
The second is to guard the hilltop and wait for reinforcements.
The latter is not terrible.
The Mongolian people would not have much food if a rationing system was implemented. Then later on, the Meng Yuan people will become weaker.
In such a bad situation, it is unclear whether Jin Huanshan can come in.
Wait until the Meng Yuan people are weak before launching an attack. Can be defeated in one fell swoop.
But if the Meng Yuan people break through immediately, it will also be a test for them.
"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, who were a little distracted, immediately became solemn, calmed down, and responded in unison. Immediately, Wang Gui went down in person and sent someone to tell Zhang Jin and the other three people at the dangerous pass at the foot of the mountain to be more alert.
Wu Nian left no loopholes and gave Zhang Guang no chance.
An hour passed quickly, and Wu Nian still stood there, looking at Mangya Mountain across the way. The Meng Yuan soldiers did not leave the village to clean up the snow, and they obviously had no intention of going out.
Wu Nian stretched out his right hand and pinched his chin, with a sinister light shining in his eyes.
He has a plan. But this plan cannot be implemented now. The Meng Yuan people still have morale and physical strength. It would be bad if Zhang Guang is offended and Zhang Guang is ruthless enough to break through.
Let’s talk in ten days.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian called Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng and went back to the camp to warm up by the fire. Although Liaodong people have thick skin and thick flesh that can withstand freezing, who doesn’t like to be warmer?
Ten days later.
Perhaps Zhang Guang's prayers had an effect. It hadn't snowed in the past ten days, but it was too cold and the snow didn't melt.
Outside the cottage, in the cleared space.
Wu Nian stood facing Mangya Mountain, with Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng behind him.
"Wang Gui. Let the soldiers prepare to clear the snow on the road outside the stronghold. Shout loudly and pretend to attack Mangya Mountain."
After Wu Nian looked at it for a long time, he turned to Wang Gui and said.
"Why is this?" Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were both stunned. Ten days ago, weren't you worried that Zhang Guang would come out to fight to the death?
Why are you pretending to attack again now?
"Deplete their physical strength and further consume their food." Wu Nian showed a relaxed smile on his face and explained: "The essence of guerrilla warfare is not to allow the enemy to recuperate."
"Since they have made up their mind to defend Mangya Mountain and wait for reinforcements, they will definitely distribute food. When people are immobile, their physical strength will be preserved."
"If we pretend to attack Mangya Mountain, even if it is just a pretense, they will have to take action. In this cold weather, their physical exertion will be terrible, and if they do not get enough food to supplement them, it will be very difficult. The soldiers will There were complaints.”
"It's no better now than it was ten days ago. Ten days ago, I was afraid that Zhang Guang's head would get hot and he would rush out. At that time, the Meng Yuan soldiers were well fed, strong, and had high morale. But these ten days have worn down their morale."
"As the saying goes, once you make great progress, you will be weak again, and then you will rest again."
"Even if they knew we were consuming them, they would not dare to come out again."
Guerrilla warfare or something.
Wu Nian had also discussed it with Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others before. But from theory to turning it into your own experience and instinct, this requires a process.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng never thought of this idea. Their eyes lit up after hearing this, and the more they thought about it, the more clever the plan became.
And the timing is also very good.
It couldn't be used ten days ago.
It will be ready for use in ten days.
"Yes." The two responded and immediately went to mobilize the soldiers. Unlike the soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Wu Nian's soldiers were well fed and drank, had plenty of physical strength, and had high morale.
Under the leadership of Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, the soldiers walked out of the stronghold openly, cleared the snow bit by bit, and even carried the ladder out.
"kill!!!!"
"Kill all the Mengyuan people."
"Attack, attack."
The soldiers were still very much in the fun, shouting and killing in a chaotic manner, and assumed an offensive posture.
Everything was as expected by Wu Nian.
The morale of the current Mongolian soldiers is very low.
On Mangya Mountain, inside the Mongolian stronghold.
More than a thousand people live in this small village, and except for guarding, patrolling, and clearing snow, they are almost motionless at other times.
Food was strictly rationed, and the soldiers could only eat half full every day.
Fortunately, they were soldiers from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, who came from further north and were resistant to cold and frost. If the soldiers came from the south, they would probably fall ill on a large scale under such circumstances.
After eating half full, your physical strength will decrease.
Morale, of course, gradually declined.
However, there is no problem in defending Mangya Mountain Village. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhang Guang himself is in good spirits. No matter how much food is distributed, he will not distribute it to him. Not only does he have enough to eat every day, but he also has meat.
He took some soldiers and patrolled the stronghold and was quite satisfied.
As long as you hold the camp and wait for reinforcements, you will win.
"kill!!!"
"Attack! Attack!"
"Kill all the Mengyuan people."
At this moment, bursts of roaring and killing sounds came from the mountain opposite. Zhang Guang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He shouted: "Wu Nian is coming to attack us. Everyone put on their war jackets, armor, and weapons, and walked out of the tent to be on guard."
"Those who are slack will be killed without mercy."
Following Zhang Guang's shouts, the centurions also took action. Groups of Mongolian soldiers who were resting in tents quickly put on their jackets and armor and came to the stronghold.
Many people shivered together. They had not eaten enough and left the warm tent. It was too cold.
The wind is still a bit strong today. The winter wind was like a knife, cutting their faces with pain.
Zhang Guang was very excited.
Come on Wu Nian.
"You dare to attack me. If a thousand people come, a thousand people will die. If ten thousand people come, ten thousand people will die." Zhang Guang held the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand and thought to himself.
He has always been eager for Wu Nian's attack.
This place is too easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its defense is much stronger than that of Beishan Fort.
In a fight, the casualties may be 1 to 5, or even greater.
Even if Wu Nian sends 10,000 troops, he is not afraid.
The issue is.
Did he have ten thousand soldiers in the year of Wu?
