Yang Nianxi, Zhang Sanfeng, Master Kong Jian, Miejie Shitai, He Taichong, Xian Yutong, Guan Neng and several old men entered the back hall to discuss countermeasures. After a while, everyone returned to the hall from the back hall. Xiang Yan was stunned and asked, "Did they discuss it so quickly?" Zhou Zhiruo whispered, "What were they discussing? Apart from Gang Leader Yang, who else among those people had fought in the war?" Xiang Yan said again, "Then What are they doing in the back hall?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "Of course Gang Leader Yang made the suggestion, and the others applauded and agreed."
After everyone came to the hall, Yang Nianxi began to assign people to build fortifications at the entrance of the valley: martial arts masters holding swords were cutting down trees; those with empty hands were transporting trees; masters holding long weapons were digging holes and burying piles; and some people were building a road. The wooden wall that spans the valley. Behind the unfinished wooden wall, there was a three-foot-high platform on which Yang Nianxi and others stood.
These people discussed and issued orders at the same time, and the messengers flew up and down along the podium - the podium was very crude and did not even have a ladder. Fortunately, everyone has Qinggong, so climbing up to the podium is a piece of cake.
When Yang Nianxi was patrolling the wooden wall at night, Xiang Yan found the opportunity to ask Yang Nianxi, "Gang Leader Yang, what are we doing with this wooden wall?" Yang Nianxi said, "To stop the Tatar cavalry." Yan nodded and said, "Oh!" He then said, "Why don't we defend on the mountainside? It's certainly impossible for the Tatars to rush up the mountain on horseback." Yang Nianxi said, "The mountain road is narrow and our people can't move on the mountainside. There are not many men to fight the Tatars. In addition, Lingshi, Zhang Zhenren, and Master Kongjian do not support setting up defenses on the mountainside, and all advocate defending the foot of the mountain."
Xiang Yan wondered in his heart: "It seems that Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie are very confident in fighting Yuan Bing this time! But why do they think we can defeat Yuan Bing with less and more?"
Xiang Yan asked again: "What is the sand in the wooden wall used for?" Yang Nianxi said: "The wooden wall is uneven. If it is not filled with sand, it will not be stable. The gaps on the side are also easy for arrows to penetrate. In addition, the wooden wall is uneven. Even if sand is buried in the wall, it can withstand the Tatar rockets." Xiang Yan couldn't help but marveled: "There are so many ways to build a wooden wall."
Xiang Yan then asked: "What is the pit behind the wall for?" Yang Nianxi said: "That is a horse pit, used to block the Tatar cavalry when we retreat." Xiang Yan said in shock: "We can't defeat the Tatars. Are you kidding? Why do you need to prepare a horse trap for retreat?" Yang Nianxi smiled and said: "The number of Tatars is more than ten times that of ours, and they are well-equipped and well-trained. How do you think we can win?"
Xiang Yan said: "Since you know you can't beat me, why don't you just retreat to the mountainside to defend?" Yang Nianxi said: "You can't beat me even if you retreat to the mountainside. Do you think you can beat me if you retreat to the mountainside?" : "Although this battle is definitely lost, we can't just run away without seeing the Tatars' face! No matter what, we have to fight the Tatars before running away."
Xiang Yan asked again: "What is the wood piled behind there for?" Yang Nianxi said: "It is used to set fire during the retreat." Xiang Yan praised: "Gang leader Yang is really far-sighted and considerate." Yang Nianxi He said with a smile: "Isn't there "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" in Emei? If you read "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" well and fight a few battles with the Tatars, you will naturally understand this."
After breaking up with Yang Nianxi, Xiang Yan went to Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Senior sister, is there any "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" in Emei?" Zhou Zhiruo was stunned and said, "Yes. Do you want to read "Wu Mu's Suicide Note"? I'll help you. Lend it out." Xiang Yan added: "Since Emei also has "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", why is it Gang Leader Yang who is commanding everyone now? Our Emei teacher has never even made suggestions to Gang Leader Yang?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Gang Leader Yang has participated in the battle between the rebels and the Tatars. She is more experienced in fighting, so she will naturally take command this time. Although Emei also has the "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", we in Emei are a martial arts sect. You Have you ever seen any martial arts person reading military books? The division commander of our sect has neither read military books nor been on the battlefield, so what advice can he give to Gang Leader Yang?"
In the early morning of the next day, the leading troops of the Yuan soldiers arrived at the foot of Mount Emei, and the heroes were all ready. Yang Nianxi, Zhang Sanfeng and more than ten people stood on the command platform and gave orders. The heroes were divided into three teams - one team was on the wooden wall preparing to fight the Yuan soldiers; the other team was under the wooden wall preparing to replace the people on the wooden wall; The team rested outside the range of the Yuan soldiers' bows and arrows. Disciples from Emei, Wudang and the Beggar Clan formed the first team to guard the wooden wall.
The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty stood still, and a man rode his horse and rushed nearby, shouting to the heroes: "Listen, everyone on the mountain, the heavenly soldiers of the court are here just for..." Before the man finished shouting, an arrow suddenly shot out from behind, and the soldiers were shot. Shoot the man to death. Xiang Yan looked back and saw that there seemed to be a dispute between Master Miejie and Master Kongjian.
A group of Yuan soldiers rushed towards the wooden wall. As they approached, a group of black dots suddenly appeared among the Yuan soldiers. This group of black dots drew an arc in the sky and landed on everyone's heads. A scream came first. Shock the eardrum. Sure enough, the arrows are like locusts! I am afraid that few people in the martial arts world can stop this level of arrow rain.
