Chapter 66

The two peaks outside Wuji mountain, one east and one west, stand on both sides of the official road. It is said that they are peaks, but in fact they are not very different from the hillsides, because they are neither high nor steep. They can climb mountains from all directions.

Ganning with 50 elite riders quietly arrived at the foot of Dongfeng mountain. He hid in the forest, looked at the withering forest, left 20 soldiers to watch the horses, and led the remaining 30 people to the East peak.

After a while, he entered the mountain forest.

"Be careful. You can't make a sound under any circumstances, you know?"

Entering the mountain forest, Gan Ning reminds me again.

"I know!"

All the soldiers nodded.

Ganning hand a move, then led people to quickly go up the mountain.

Few people have the advantage of few people, action is cheap, not easy to be found. Especially when Gan Ning walked up the mountain, every time he passed a certain distance, he left a soldier hiding in the same place, paying attention to the movement around him.

Once there is any wind and grass on the mountain, he can get the news in the shortest time, and then make a response.

Nearly to the top of the mountain, Ganning found the whereabouts of a Wei Yan soldier. He took people, quietly followed, and finally found the location of Wei Yan soldiers.

This is near the top of the mountain.

In this area, the terrain is flat, but also uneven, with trees all over the area, surrounded by countless Artemisia and leaves.

A tent, spread on the ground.

Around the tent, there are soldiers patrolling, three steps for one post, five steps for one sentry, and the layout is very strict.

Now there is no war, and the soldiers on patrol are not relaxed, which shows that their military discipline is strict.

Ganning can't get close, so he can only look at it in the dark. He went through all the tents and made a rough estimate. The number of soldiers stationed on the mountain is about 800.

This number is not much different from the number of soldiers estimated by the sentinel. After all, with fewer soldiers, we can't guard the mountain peak. With more people stationed, Wei Yan's troops will be reduced.

Eight hundred, no more, no less.

"With these 800 soldiers stationed, it's not easy to capture Dongfeng head-on."

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes, very unwilling.

He took the soldiers to Dongfeng. Although the main purpose of his coming was to inquire about information, he didn't want to just inquire about information and wanted to make contributions.

"Go, look around."

Gan Ning whispered orders, with his soldiers quietly retreat.

Leaving the top of the mountain, Ganning went around the peak and spent nearly an hour to find out the situation.

East peak, no water.

All the water resources have to be supplied by the camp of Weiyan in Wuji mountain.

In addition, there are trees all over the mountain, and most of them are pines and cypresses. Now in early autumn, the leaves wither and fall densely on the ground, making the ground seem like a carpet.

Gan Ning stepped on the pine needles and leaves on the ground, went down the mountain to the hiding place, and made a quick calculation in his heart.

Now that I'm here, I can't come back empty handed. I have to make some big noise.

Gan Ning looked at the dense woods and suddenly had a plan in mind. With a smile on his lips, he looked at the soldiers he had brought and asked, "who among you has a flare?"

"I have it!"

One of the soldiers answered.

"So do I, general."

"I brought it."

……

The rest of the soldiers answered one after another.

Every one of them has a fire fold. After all, it's a must in the wild. In order to make a fire, we must have a fire fold.

Gan Ning said with a smile, "OK, it's easy to do."

He waved and surrounded everyone. Gan Ning's eyes swept the crowd and said in a deep voice, "although we are here to inquire about the news, we can't go back empty handed, right?"

The soldiers all nodded.

They understand Gan Ning's nature and know that this time, they will not go back empty handed.

There was a flash of light in Gan Ning's eyes and a fierce look on his face. He solemnly said, "I think it's not advisable to attack Dongfeng by force. We are not enough people to plug our teeth. "

"The only way is by fire!"

"On the East peak, there are dense pine and cypress forests, and the ground is covered with leaves. Now the autumn air is crisp, the fallen leaves are dry, and the Artemisia grass is also dried in the sun, which is very easy to ignite. "

"As long as we light a fire in the mountains, Dongfeng will turn into a sea of fire. The soldiers on the mountain will surely go down the mountain when they are caught in a sea of fire. We will wait at the foot of the mountain and kill the soldiers who go down the mountain. "

"Wei Yan thought that if he controlled the East and West peaks, he would be able to compete with Wuji mountain and keep Wuji mountain, but he ignored the special environment of the East peak."

"This time, let him suffer a big loss."

Gan Ning clenched his fist and waved it fiercely in the air, which made his face look better.

"The general is wise!"The soldiers were excited when they heard the words and praised them.

Gan Ning big sleeve a whisk, command a way: "the time of action, put in the evening.". After dark, it's good for action and it's good for us to retreat. Now they all stay here honestly and act immediately after dark. "

"Here it is

All the soldiers should go down together.

……

After Wei Yan was injured, he led the troops to evacuate quickly.

After three li's withdrawal, he found that there were no pursuers in the rear, so he ordered to stop.

The army rested and counted the losses.

He bandaged the wound himself.

Zhang Xiu's shot really penetrated into his left shoulder and bone, injuring his bones. One hundred days after the injury, it is impossible for him to recover completely from the shoulder injury in a short time.

"Cruel Zhang Xiu."

Wei Yan is biting his teeth and suffering from pain.

When he finished dressing the wound, he sat quietly and thought about what to do next. After a short time, a small school came to Wei Yan and saluted him.

Huang Ben, a famous schoolmaster, respectfully reported: "my Lord, we attacked Zhang Xiu's camp, killing 68 soldiers and injuring 98. The rest of the soldiers, it's no big deal. "

"Let the soldiers rest in place!"

Wei asked.

He didn't care about the loss of 68 people. After all, the loss was small.

"Here it is

Huang Ben answered, and immediately sent the order.

Wei Yan looked at the wound of his left shoulder and saw that there was dark red blood in the wound. His eyes were full of reluctance. If he returns to Wuji mountain now, how can he face the soldiers in the army?

He doesn't want to retreat!

Wei Yan sat with a sudden plan and immediately said, "Huang Ben!"

"Yes

When Huang Ben heard Wei Yan's words, he immediately came over and said, "what's your order?"

Wei Yan said: "the order goes down to find a secret place, and all the soldiers go to rest. After dark, we touch Zhang Xiu's camp and harass it again. "

Huang Ben raised his eyebrows and said with some worry: "do you want to harass me, my lord?"

The previous attack failed.

What's the point of harassing again?

Wei Yan big sleeve a whisk, no doubt way: "when the previous harassment, Zhang Xiu was on guard, so we failed. Now we retreat, and then return to harass, Zhang Xiu must not expect. Our attack at night is to make Zhang Xiu's soldiers unable to have a good rest. It doesn't involve fighting. You don't have to worry about it. "

"Here it is

After hearing Wei Yan's words, Huang Ben was also relieved. After all, if there is no war, there will be no danger. He immediately arranged for a team of sentinels to go around looking for hiding places, ready to hide.
