Erdemutu also has another layer of identity, it is a chess piece that Tokhtobuhua planted in the Mobei Mongolian tribe back then, he can become the leader of the tribe, it is also due to the help of the other party, and now it is time to use his chess piece.

Soon, the news spread to the headquarters of Ku Xiao'er twenty miles away, and after seeing this note, he was completely relieved. It seems that their worries are superfluous, all because the mercenaries believe too much in the Mobei Mongol army, so their opportunity has come.

I don't know how many days, this time Ku Xiao'er can finally get a good night's sleep, just wait for the dawn to attack on all fronts, and then attack from above with Lakshin, and join forces inside and outside with Erdemutu, and the mercenaries will be hit hard.

Halfway up the mountain, at the Xuanshi slope, the army of Lakshen also rested, they were also recuperating and looking forward to the dawn, and then counterattacked with all their might, before the main force of the Great Khan arrived, they first inflicted heavy losses on the mercenaries, and made a great achievement.

The mercenary battalion below the mountain was also silent, and they were ordered to rest early after dinner in the evening, as if they were also preparing for the next big battle. It's just that few people know that the time they chose to fight was not in the morning, but in the middle of the night.

When the time came to the third watch, that is, in the early hours of the morning, a rapid whistle suddenly sounded in the camp of the mercenaries, and the horn of the emergency assembly was officially sounded, and countless neat soldiers walked out of the big tent, holding sabers, leading the war horses and began to assemble.

At the top of Saihan Mountain, although it was still pitch black, the dense mercenary soldiers were already holding their swords and preparing for a battle.

The summit of Mount Saihan, the bait land that Lakshin refers to, is not at all the strength of one battalion, as the outside world speculated, but an army of twenty battalions.

In the past few days, the number of waterwheels heading to the top of the mountain to deliver water has suddenly increased, but few people know that every carriage that goes up the mountain is loaded with neatly groomed mercenary soldiers, who sneak into the mountain under the pretext of delivering water.

These were originally within Yang Chendong's plan. He was not an immortal, so he naturally did not expect that the Tatar army would use this as a point of attack to start the first battle. The reason why he arranged twenty battalions of soldiers and horses here was to have a chance to be ruthless behind the Tatar army, but he never thought that it would come in handy so quickly.

And the person in charge of the task of lurking and guarding the mountain is Xu Yunsheng, who has just been promoted to the head of the reconnaissance regiment for a short time.

This Xu Yunsheng is an old man, he served in the army when Yang Chen Dongnan Ming was fighting, and he can be said to be a person with a lot of achievements. It's just that considering the importance of scouts and the extremely high quality requirements of personnel, his official position is not high, but he was awarded the rank of colonel as the commander of a regiment, which is enough to explain everything. If one day he is not willing to work in the reconnaissance regiment, he can be a division commander casually, and his ability is more than enough.

The mercenaries have a security service, and it is difficult to ensure that other forces also use their own intelligence organizations. Knowing that it was likely that the senior officers under his command were all targeted early, Yang Chendong did not use them this time, but sent Xu Yunsheng, who had always been elusive and difficult to find the enemy, and sent him to the mountain to be responsible for this hidden mission.

Also on the mission with Xu Yunsheng were Tian Hu and Bai Shuang. They are all highly talented students in Shicheng Academy, especially in military studies, which is very prominent, and this time the two of them are transferred to fight together with Regiment Commander Xu, which is also giving them the opportunity to participate in actual combat.

Three smart people, three capable people get together, and their strength can be imagined. When they learned that there was a report from the mountain that someone had the idea of Saihan Mountain, the three of them decided to plan after some discussion, and took the initiative to give up the Xuanshi Slope halfway up the mountain, showing that the enemy was weak and at the same time looking for the best fighter.

Originally, the three of them were still a little distressed, what would they do if Lakshen's troops attacked the top of the mountain? I didn't expect others to cooperate with me like that, and I actually surrounded but did not attack, which made the three of them overjoyed, and at the same time, they arranged for twenty battalions of troops to rest early. It wasn't until about eleven o'clock in the evening that everyone was woken up and ready for a night attack.

Night fighting is one of the subjects that mercenaries often train. When the nutrition is completely up, the so-called night blindness has nothing to do with them at all, and with such a foundation, they have already possessed the conditions of the husband when they fight at night.

And tonight is when they fight back. Didn't Lakshin want to come and fight on both sides? That's good, just return it to his body in the way of others, and give him a two-sided attack first, and completely eliminate them.

The time was a few hours earlier than the time of the opponent's attack, and it was well prepared, which gave the mercenaries the first hand and more chances to win.

In the early hours of the morning, the mercenary camp below the mountain became lively, and with a flashbang that lit up the sky for half a day, the general attack began. Armies began to attack the top of Mount Saihan.

The sudden attack caught the enemy who was resting on the Xuanshi slope halfway up the mountain by surprise. Rakshen got out of the big tent, and while wearing the armor on his body, he asked Mu Qi who rushed over, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not clear, but it looks like the mercenaries attacked in advance." Mu Qi also replied with a puzzled expression.

"Attack in the night, or charge up the mountain, hum! I really don't know who gave the mercenaries the courage to meet the enemy immediately. By the way, there is still a battalion of enemies on the mountain, there is no need to keep them now, quickly send people to take them down. A cold look appeared on Lakshin's face.

Although it was somewhat unexpected for the mercenaries to attack in the middle of the night, he was condescending, and his defense at night was not slack, and it was not so easy for anyone to attack the mountain. As long as he waited until dawn and his line of sight was not obstructed, he could launch a counterattack with the main army down the mountain.

Only, will the mercenaries give them a chance to launch a counterattack?

Just as Lakshin was still giving military orders to Mu Qi, behind them, on the top of Saihan Mountain, a deafening shout of killing suddenly came out, and 8,000 mercenaries rushed down the mountain like fierce tigers.

Poor Rakshin never took the mercenaries on the mountain seriously, so he just arranged a thousand soldiers for defense. It is said that 1,000 to 400 should be enough, but 1,000 to 8,000 is not half a star.

The Tatar army of 1,000 had not yet figured out what was going on, when a rain of bows and arrows came at them, and hundreds of people were killed by bows and arrows, and then their lines were overwhelmed by the army of mercenaries who rushed down the mountain in an instant.

Xu Yunsheng, who was mixed in the army, laughed, waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly, "Comrades-in-arms, the time for meritorious service has come, rush!" ”

"Rush." Tian Hu and Bai Shuang on the side also shouted frantically together, and their eyes flashed with excitement.

The sudden appearance of 8,000 mercenaries hit the Tatar army in a daze, and he didn't know how there were so many enemies, and Lakshin continued to mobilize the army to block the attack, and at the same time lit three bonfires that had been prepared long ago, which was a signal for help, and once the situation was critical, it would be used as a warning to ask for help from the Ku Er's department under the mountain.

There was a sudden movement in the mercenaries, which naturally could not hide the sight of Ku Xiao'er's scouts, and after the news was reported, Ku Xiao'er also got up and raised the tent, and then saw the three bonfires being lit, which made him very puzzled. "What's going on? The war has just begun, why did General Laksin ask for help? Are the mercenaries really so brave that they have rushed halfway up the mountain? ”

"Impossible." Mu Ren shook his head, "The Xuanshi slope is a gentle slope that is two miles long, although it is not very steep, it is long, and it is impossible for the mercenaries to rush to the middle of the mountain so quickly. ”

"yes, the terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can't be lost so quickly." General Hulin also echoed it.

"Let's go, let's go, let's not care about so much, even if Lakshin asks for help, he must have encountered some unsolvable problem, so we will support it immediately. General Hulin, you quickly order 5,000 cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the mercenary camp, General Muren, you lead 5,000 cavalry to follow, no matter what, you must attract the attention of the mercenaries to relieve the pressure on General Lakshin. ”

The sudden attack of the mercenaries mobilized the entire battlefield. Countless mercenaries came out one by one, in an orderly manner, as if the goal had already been clarified. However, the Mobei Mongolian tribes, one by one, the small leaders came to the big tent of Narisong with sleepy eyes, and they still don't know what happened?

"Okay, everyone's here, now I'll assign the task. But before that, there is still one thing to be done first, where is General Erdemutu? That day Song looked at everyone with a bright expression, and suddenly shouted such a sentence.

"Ahh Instinctively, Erdemutu agreed. Seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to draw his sword to resist, but he had no intention of calculating or not, where would he be an opponent, and he was pressed right at the moment.

After being pressed to a solid point, struggling to no avail, Erdemutu immediately shouted loudly, "Narisong, what do you want to do?" Do you want to take this opportunity to exclude dissidents? And you, just like that, tell you that today he cleaned me up, and tomorrow he will do you down. ”

"Shut up, you traitor." Seeing that there was a commotion in the crowd, Narisong immediately drank it.

Originally, some of the small leaders were ready to ask Narisong what he was going to do, and if he really wanted to get rid of them, he would have to resist. But as soon as they heard the word traitor, everyone's mouths that wanted to be opened immediately closed again.
