The night was dark and the wind was biting. From time to time in the mountains and forests, shrill howls of wolves can be heard, and murderous intent is everywhere.
"Da da da!!!"
The sound of marching of large groups of people suddenly sounded.
The front of the people and horses. Although Wu Nian was exhausted, he still ran very fast. Soon he led the troops and arrived at the foot of Xingshi Mountain.
He raised his head and glanced at Xingshi Mountain. The mountain was very high and the night was dark, so of course he couldn't see clearly. But Wu Nian's face showed joy.
"The mountain is very quiet. It seems that Lieutenant Guan Xiao has successfully occupied the mountain stronghold. Immediately send people to our camp and tell the two Qianhu who stayed behind that we have won. Let them not worry and they can adjust their defense to normal. Prepare to receive and treat wounded soldiers."
A big stone fell in Wu Nian's heart. He exhaled a breath of turbid air and turned to a Qianhu.
"Yes." The Qianhu responded and immediately handed down the order. Then. Wu Nian first asked people to go up the mountain to inform Guan Jinhan, and then led his troops up the mountain.
Xingshi Mountain. On the flagpole of the cottage. There are flags with the characters "Wu" and "Guan" on them, and the flags sound loudly, declaring the identity of the owner of this place.
Guan Jinhan was wearing armor and leading two teams of soldiers, waiting at the gate of the village.
"General. Are you okay?" Guan Jinhan saw Wu Nian covered in blood and immediately frowned and asked worriedly.
"It's okay. It's all the enemy's blood." Wu Nian waved his hand, and then looked at the armor on Guan Jinhan's body, which was also covered in blood. I couldn't help but ask: "What about you?"
"It's all the blood of the enemy." Guan Jinhan felt relieved and said with a smile.
"Hahaha." The two looked at each other and laughed. Xingshi Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was captured by them.
Guard the Xingshi Road and block the connection between Guangyang Mansion and Huanglong Mansion.
This small step is the key to entering Guangyang Mansion. The battle of Guangyang Mansion has officially begun.
After laughing, the two entered the cottage together. Wu Nian turned around and looked around. There were traces of fighting everywhere.
Soldiers are cleaning up corpses and treating wounded soldiers. Some of the injured soldiers endured the pain, while others couldn't help but groan in pain.
Wu Nian sighed, shook his head and said nothing. Going to the battlefield means entering the gate of hell. Wu Nian put away his mood and continued to look.
The bodies of the Meng Yuan people were stripped of their armor and battle coats, and were thrown out of the village at will, waiting for further burial tomorrow.
Although the weather is cold now and the probability of plague is low, the bodies still need to be buried.
"Very good. The granaries are still well preserved." Wu Nian's eyes lit up after seeing the granaries one after another.
"The Meng Yuan soldiers on guard planned to burn down the granaries before they were about to fail. Fortunately, their granaries were scattered. Although a few were burned, most of them were saved." Guan Jinhan nodded, and he was also happy. .
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction.
They had an army of ten thousand households. In order to move the army quickly, they did not bring much food and grass. The food and grass in the stronghold was enough to last five thousand captains for one or two years.
In addition to the grain and grass they brought, there should be no problem for ten thousand households to feed the soldiers for a year.
A full year.
It was enough for them to decide the outcome with the Meng Yuan people. If it's not enough to eat, you can also ask Liu Zhixing to deliver some.
Wu Nian and Guan Jinhan came to the big tent together. They let the soldiers in first and took off their armor for them. They didn't have any change of clothes, so they went bare-chested and lit a bonfire to keep warm.
Although the weather was cold, they were strong and not too cold. But after killing this for a long time, both of them were hungry. Let the soldiers go down to see what is on the mountain and eat it.
The soldiers quickly got some dry food, dried meat, and drinks. The two of them ate and drank until they were full. Guan Jinhan left the tent to Wu Nian and went down.
This back tent should be Liu Chong's residence. Wu Nian didn't mind it, so he entered the back tent and fell asleep. After sleeping, the sun was shining brightly the next morning.
As soon as Wu Nian woke up, a soldier came in carrying a washbasin and a change of clean clothes. Wu Nian washed up and put on his clothes.
Another soldier served hot mutton soup. Before Wu Nian started eating, Guan Jinhan walked in from outside.
"General." Guan Jinhan saluted Wu Nian.
Wu Nian raised his eyes and looked at Guan Jinhan. After a night's rest, he looked rosy and energetic.
"Have you eaten?" Wu Nian asked with a smile.
"I've eaten." Guan Jinhan said.
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded, picked up the mutton soup, and started devouring it. After a bowl of meat soup, Wu Nian felt much better, so he raised his head and asked, "How are you doing? Have all the soldiers and wounded soldiers gathered at Xingshi Mountain?"
"They're all coming up. I've also blocked the entrance to the north with a big stone."
"If an enemy digs in, there will definitely be a noise."
Guan Jinhan sat on the Taishi chair, smiled and nodded.
"Yes. This mountain is not a flaw. As long as you are prepared, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Wu Nian nodded, and then continued to work on the mutton soup until he was completely full and drunk.
He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go down with the iron pot.
"Brother, I have to rush to the front line immediately. Commander Zhao Yanting and the others will fight with Jin Ruiyun, Wan Yanxian, and Hou Wancheng to capture Guangyang Mansion."
"I'll leave Xingshi Mountain to you. I'm relieved that you are calm and resourceful. But I still have to remind you. You must keep Liu Chong's lessons learned in mind. You are guarding this mountain and cannot go into battle easily."
"Don't feel embarrassed. Let's take our heads back firmly and hide in the turtle shell." Wu Nian said in a deep voice with an extremely serious expression.
"General, don't worry. I know how powerful I am." Guan Jinhan didn't think Wu Nian was verbose. He solemnly clasped his fists in salute and responded in a deep voice.
"Yeah." Wu Nian laughed and nodded lightly.
Wu Nian had eaten and drank enough, and he had also confessed what needed to be explained. He called his soldiers to come in, put on heavy armor, and walked out of the tent with Guan Jinhan to the gate of the camp.
Guan Jinhan cupped his fists to send him off, and Wu Nian resolutely turned around and walked down the mountain. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of soldiers had been waiting for a long time.
The flag with the word "Wu" is very majestic.
Wu Nian reached out and took the golden riding whip handed over by his own soldiers, stepped on the stirrups made of rotten silver, jumped onto the horse vigorously, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and headed forward.
"drive!!!!"
He shouted, and the horse's hooves splashed with flying snow.
Hundreds of soldiers, either on horseback or on foot, quickly followed Wu Nian's footsteps.
The key to Guangyang Mansion is in hand.
And the war has just begun.
"Wan Yanxian, Jin Ruiyun, Hou Wancheng. I'm here." Thinking of these old friends, the real Meng Yuan Wanhu, peerless generals. Wu Nian's eyes showed a fierce light.
Guangyang Mansion does not need Mengyuan people to guard it.
I will slaughter you all.
