Chapter 986: Looking at the North Mountain
"It seems that this second prince of Beiqing is a famous hero!" Shi Yuan also sighed, then looked at the vast river in front of him, and muttered, "Perhaps...... I really shouldn't have done that. ”
Shi Yuan's muttered sentence was only heard by Qiao Cannon and Liuli, who were standing on the side. Qiao Cannon couldn't help but be stunned, and then said to Shi Yuan with a serious face: "General Shi, now that the enemy is present, you must not have such thoughts!" ”
Seeing Qiao Cannon's serious face, Shi Yuan turned to a smile and shook his head, "Brother Qiao, don't worry!" I'm just feeling a little bit that the world is still very big, and if we don't make changes, we will still suffer sooner or later. Let's go! Speed up your march! ”
What world is so big that sooner or later it will suffer...... Although Qiao Cannon didn't know what Shi Yuan meant by this sentence, he didn't think too much about it when he saw Shi Yuan recover. Then he turned his head and shouted at the crowd behind him, "Run forward!" ”
Although Xuefeng Mountain is called Xuefeng Mountain, because the main peak is in Jiangbei, Jiangnan is just the end of the entire mountain range, so it is not very high. But even so, this is still like standing out from the crowd for the flat terrain in the south of the Yangtze River.
Unlike Taoyuan Mountain, a big mountain that suddenly "rises from the ground", Xuefeng Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles from north to south. Although there are only about fifty miles of mountainous land on this side of Nanqing, it still looks quite majestic.
The people of Shiyuan who ran forward soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. There were no accidents along the way, it seemed that this Xuefeng Mountain seemed to be a very good ambush place, but Shi Yuan still didn't relax in the slightest!
Previously, before leaving the camp, Shi Yuan asked Qiao Cannon to arrange the entire army. Of the six hundred people, thirty of them were selected and divided into a total of six squads according to the standard five-person squad model. As for the rest, they were divided into five companies in units of more than 100 people.
This action can be said to affect the whole body, so Shi Yuan is extra careful. The thirty people selected by Qiao Cannon were all extremely outstanding in the Dingnan Army in Jinling before. And Shi Yuan also gave them a very middle two name - "Eagle Squad"!
The vanguard of the Beiqing army should have arrived at the riverside, and according to the usual practice, temporary camping arrangements will definitely be made. Other words...... The Beiqing army will definitely send spies to investigate. This also means that Shi Yuan and the others will be very dangerous here now!
But even so, in order to choose a hidden hiding place, Shi Yuan decided to temporarily camp at the foot of this mountain!
Although he was in a hurry when he set off from Yangzhou City before, Shi Yuan still asked people to find a few locals in Yangzhou City, and after careful interrogation, he drew a rough sketch of the terrain of this Xuefeng Mountain. Although this kind of thing can only be used as a reference, the actual situation is far more complicated, but it can also play a lot of roles.
There are three large peaks in the Xuefeng Mountain to the south of the river. These three peaks start from the Yangtze River and divide the end of Xuefeng Mountain into three sections. In fact, Xuefeng Mountain is only the name before Daqing was not divided, and most of the local people in Yangzhou are called "Wangbei Mountain".
It is obviously impossible to directly select a place for an ambush now. You can only choose a general range, and then select a hidden ambush location from this range, which is the best plan!
Although the surprise attack after copying this move is a strange move, since you can think of it, the enemy army must also be able to think of it! This hideout must be extremely hidden. If the Beiqing army wants to conduct a full-scale search, once its whereabouts are discovered, then their team will become lambs entering the tiger's mouth.
Shi Yuan took out the map he had with him, then took out a pencil and drew a total of three lines on the map. It happened to turn this Wangbei Mountain into three sections.
"The Eagle Squad listens!" After doing this, Shi Yuan turned around and ordered the Eagle Squad who were following him and Qiao Cannon: "You disguise yourself as Chaifu, the first, second, third, and fourth teams will go south, and the fifth and sixth teams will go to the mountain peak in front of you." According to the indication of this map, you will investigate the road conditions, water sources and other conditions along the way, and after two incense sticks, be sure to gather here. ”
After Shi Yuan finished ordering, everyone in the Eagle Squad replied in unison: "Yes!" But just as they were about to leave, Shi Yuan emphasized uneasily: "Remember, be careful." If you encounter someone or other situation, you can avoid it and come back as soon as possible. ”
After giving instructions to the entire Eagle Squad, Shi Yuan turned to Liuli again and said, "Liuli, please go to the back to watch the Beiqing army that landed on the shore." If they do anything out of the ordinary, withdraw the report as soon as possible. ”
Liuli nodded after hearing this, and then turned away. Although there are horses at this time, in order to ensure that the movement is hidden, they can only choose to walk.
Shi Yuan watched Liuli go away, originally he didn't want to say more, because with Liuli's skills, this kind of thing was completely handy for her, but in the end, she still chased after her uneasily...... "Liuli, remember not to make trouble!" After two sticks of incense, we may evacuate here, remember to come back in time. ”
"Got it! It's verbose! "Ruri, who hasn't spoken all this time, seems to have recovered a little at this time. After saying to Shi Yuan impatiently, he walked away.
"Huh~" finally arranged everything, and Shi Yuan exhaled deeply. It was the first time to lead a team to do this kind of temporary command, saying that he was not nervous, but it was absolutely impossible. Especially when he saw the Beiqing army rolling up from the river before, he was completely shocked by that kind of scene. This kind of war, but a solid hand-to-hand combat, is completely piled up with lives!
"Brother Qiao, give the order to go down, rest on the spot, not allowed to live, and try to avoid leaving any traces!"
After saying to Qiao Cannon again, Shi Yuan turned around and looked at Wangbei Mountain in front of him. Now they are basically at the northernmost point of the heading north, which is by the river. This goes to the north mountain all the way to the outside of Yangzhou City, in fact, he doesn't have to walk so far, out of Yangzhou City, as long as he goes east along the official road, he can reach this Wangbei Mountain.
But to do so is completely pointless. The mountains on both sides of the river bank are dependent on Yangzhou, but at the same time, they are also dangerous. If Beiqing can't take Yangzhou City quickly, he will definitely think of other ways. When the time comes, the Beiqing army can completely take advantage of this terrain. Moreover, Shi Yuan's surprise attack was aimed at the back grain and grass of the Beiqing army, and if he hid too close to Yangzhou City, he would lose the opportunity to surprise him.
