“If I look at it, we can still only do raids, and they can only be carried out at night.
Just tonight! Tonight we will lead our brothers to launch a surprise attack on the enemy in three directions at the same time.
Only at night, when the enemy can't see us clearly and we don't know how many people have died around us, can it greatly reduce the brothers' fear of the mass death of their colleagues.
We only have this one chance! "
Zhang Kai slapped the floor heavily with a determined expression.
Although he was afraid of death, he had no room to retreat now.
But suddenly he noticed that Zhao Ming on the side was holding his chopsticks behind his back, and then used the chopsticks to write and draw something on the ground.
"Brother Zhao...what are you doing?"
"Didn't you see the picture?"
Zhao Ming shook his head and pointed to a line drawn in it.
"Look here is the river in front of us! This river passes through us and finally merges into a deep pool 500 meters west of Maoming'an and Darhan.
And to the north of this deep pool is the mountain range that extends all the way to our place. The mountain range goes all the way east from our place. When it gets close to Maoming'anbu, the mountain range drops all the way, and by their place it has become a hillside. "
"Brother Zhao, what on earth do you want to say?"
Zhang Kai's face was full of suspicion. What kind of trouble would he make after talking so much?
"Zhang He, you are familiar with the terrain in this area. Could you please tell me, if we go east from the east mountain range, can we go around the flanks after climbing over the mountain?"
As soon as Zhao Ming said these words, everyone vaguely understood what he meant.
"Master Zhao, do you want to..."
"Well, I'm just thinking about the feasibility. I'm not sure yet."
Zhao Ming nodded and shook his head.
"It's definitely not possible to charge head-on. We won't be able to pass the machine gun level, and the cavalry charge is too noisy, so it's impossible to charge through the hail of bullets.
Brothers' lives should not be lost in this kind of thing! "
"If we can climb over the mountains, go around from the southeast, and penetrate directly into the opponent's back, then we can win this battle, otherwise..."
Zhao Ming didn't say much next, but if it didn't work, he would have to do it forcefully.
"no!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang He still shook his head.
"The mountains near Huozhongtun are too high and too dangerous, and the texture is not hard. It is simply unrealistic to climb. If you are not careful, you will slip.
More importantly, even if we can get over, how will this horse get over?
Without a horse, isn’t this a living target?”
Regarding Zhao Ming's idea, Zhang He rejected it after just a moment's thought.
The reason why he was reassured about Huo Zhongtun's defense before was because of these mountains.
Not only is it difficult for them to get out, it is also difficult for outsiders to get in.
Zhao Ming fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said calmly, "How can you know if you don't try it? After dinner later, I will take a few brothers to try it."
He still didn't want to give up this idea. If it could be done, how many brothers would die less.
As for negotiating with the Outer Mongols, that is something that is beyond even the slightest thought.
Both sides have killed so many people on each other, so there is no way to talk about peace talks.
And now the other party must be more confident. It is difficult for the other party to compromise!
Having an idea is better than having no idea. Everyone began to grab the food in their hands quickly, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountains on the east side of Huozhongtun.
In fact, there is no need to look at it. Zhao Ming recently walked around this palm-sized place.
The total Huozhongtun camp is only about the size of five or six football fields, and you can go back and forth casually on horseback.
The surrounding peaks are about four to five hundred meters on average. The first two to three hundred meters are relatively good and gentle, and the higher they go up, the steeper they become.
Looking up, it really gives people a very desperate feeling.
This is not a hilly area in the south. The mountains are bare, with only a few trees and a lot of thick snow.
If you get closer and pull the rocks on the mountain wall casually, they will break into pieces, like a shoddy project.
"It's really hard to climb in this damn place." Looking at the situation, Zhang Kai shook his head.
On such a mountain, let alone climbing, you have to worry about landslides.
Zhao Ming also had no idea about this mountain now.
Rather than climbing this broken mountain, he would rather lead his brothers to charge, at least the death would be worth it.
However, Zhang He, who had always been opposed at this time, had other ideas.
"Master Zhao! Do you want to go directly to Maoming Andalhan?"
"Well, why do you have any ideas?" Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows.
"In this case, we actually don't need to go around here at all."
Zhang He's eyes were gleaming.
As he spoke, he squatted down, picked up the gravel beside him, and began to write and draw on the ground.
He sketched out a topographic map like the one drawn by Zhao Ming before. A simple line represented the nearby river at this time, and several triangles represented the mountain peaks.
I saw him pointing to one of the points.
"Master Zhao, you see, we can go out from Huozhongtun first, walk about four to five hundred meters, and then go north to enter another narrow mountain col.
This place was originally inaccessible before. It was usually a mountain stream winding down through the gaps between several peaks. But now the river is frozen.
The running water may be slower, but it will probably be about the same tomorrow, so we can go!
Walking in here, there is a mountain col heading east. Follow this mountain col all the way east, with peaks on both sides as shields. Through this section, you can go directly to the two northern slopes.
You won't be seen at all along the way! "
The more he talked about this, the brighter his eyes became. There was also a herdsman boy in Huozhongtun in this area who suddenly had a whim and wanted to see where this river and the river in the pond came from.
But it is difficult to enter there on weekdays. The water flow in that mountain stream is very fast and abundant, especially during the flood season after the beginning of spring, the water flow is even more rapid and deep.
But in winter, the mountain stream enters the dry season. Although there is still some water flow, the water flow slows down significantly, and it freezes easily, almost the same time as the river freezes.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Zhang He's suggestion.
If what Zhang He said is true, then this is indeed a treasure place that can penetrate the opponent's belly and back.
"Okay! At nightfall, I will take a few brothers to explore the way. If we find it feasible, we will take action tonight!"
Zhao Ming punched the ground, his face full of excitement.
I also feel quite bitter in my heart. If I were not in this poor place, how could I be compared with a group of Mongolians on firearms.
If this were the south, if a warlord team could be drawn out casually, there would be no need for a local tycoon warlord. Some ordinary warlords could easily come up with one or two artillery battalions.
If it were Yan Laoxi's command or even a random equipment brigade, they could crush this group of Outer Mongolians.
However, there are no ifs. As long as these firearms are used properly here, the Outer Mongols can slaughter the entire grassland!
