Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, the guide has been found. Read М"

Qingfengkou Bastion.

After another two days of fierce fighting with the Black Iron King, Chang Wei brought a man over at noon.

This is a middle-aged man with a hare on his back. Behind him is an eight-year-old child. He is hiding behind the man and looking at the soldiers coming and going with timid eyes. There is also a trace of uneasiness in the man's eyes, and he does not dare to Look at Zhao Xu with a straight eye.

Zhao Xu smiled helplessly. In ancient times, people were afraid of the powerful. When facing the powerful, they were like a sheep standing in front of a lion.

"This man, please take us there." Zhao Xu said.

The man nodded, but his expression was hesitant, as if he had something to say. Chang Wei understood immediately and said to the general beside him: "Give this man a hundred taels of silver."

The one hundred taels of silver was exactly the amount of the reward he had offered when he was looking for the guide. After hearing this, the general trotted away and came over with the one hundred taels of silver after a while.

The man seemed relieved when he saw the money, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"This is what you deserve." Zhao Xu smiled.

This time the man will lead his soldiers into Qingfeng Mountain to lead the way, and may also face war.

For him, this was tantamount to risking his life, so giving him some money was not too much.

Putting the silver into his arms, the man said, "Please follow the common people." After that, the man went eastward.

Zhao Xu naturally found a guide to launch a surprise attack on the Black Iron King's tent.

One of the reasons why ancient marches took broad roads was to prevent the army from getting lost.

Therefore, if you are not very familiar with the terrain, the army rarely wanders around in the mountains, because the trees in the mountains block the sky and make it easier for people to lose their way.

It was for this reason that he asked Chang Wei to find a guide.

This is the same as the old horse knowing the way.

Wei Qun saluted Zhao Xu and Chang Wei, and followed the man for about ten miles. After stopping, the man pointed ahead and said, "General, this is the trail I used to go up the mountain for hunting. Follow this trail to go up the mountain and arrive at The mountain on the right side of Qingfeng Mountain.”

Weiqun looked in the direction pointed by the man's finger. In front of him was an almost straight rock wall with a parallel slope that sloped down from top to bottom.

They dismounted and led the soldiers over first. The guards frowned and said, "It's too dangerous. This rock wall is at least twenty meters high. If you fall, you will be dead."

After hearing what Wei Qun said, the man was a little nervous and said: "General, you can go up this trail. Every time I go up the mountain, I go up from this trail. It must be fine. I will climb up and show it to the general."

The old man's words gave Wei Qun a flash of inspiration. The man must have developed a mountain climbing skill by hunting in the mountains for many years. For him, going up the mountain was like walking on flat ground, but it was very difficult for these soldiers. In this case, why not let them The man pulled a rope up.

Tie a few ropes to the trees on the mountain to form a rope ladder, and find a place below along the ramp to fix it, so that the soldiers can go up the rope without fear of falling.

Thinking like this, Wei Qun expressed his thoughts. The man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

The soldiers came back soon and brought seven or eight long and thick hemp ropes.

Following Wei Qun's method, the man climbed to the top of the mountain with a hemp rope, and then dropped the hemp rope on an old tree on the edge of the cliff.

Then he came down and threw other hemp ropes on different trees, while the guards and the soldiers fixed the other end on a boulder at the foot of the mountain.

After climbing up the rope to the top of the mountain, Wei Qun finally understood what high mountains and dense forests meant. Even at noon, the mountain forest was eerie and filled with the smell of decaying plants.

Following the man's guidance, they followed the path trodden by the man and groped their way north.

After walking for more than ten miles, they soon saw the Black Iron King's camp from the mountain peak. On the 100-meter-high mountain peak, the entire camp was within the sight of the guards. At this time, he picked up the Observing through the telescope, I quickly found Beidi soldiers at the foot of the mountain who were cutting down soldiers to make ladders.

After confirming that this path could lead them to the side of the mountainside of the Black Iron King's tent, the guards led the people down the mountain and set markers along the road in preparation for bringing the army back.

Return to the bastion.

Wei Qun told Zhao Xu what he had observed.

The mountains of Yanshan rise and fall one after another, like waves. It is not easy to get around to the side of the Black Iron King's tent.

He said: "Tomorrow we will set up an infantry square in front of the bastion and pretend to be in a decisive battle with the Black Iron King's tent. Then Enko will definitely attack with more troops, and then use flintlocks to eliminate them. A group of Beidi soldiers led five thousand soldiers up the mountain from the trail at night, and attacked the Black Iron King's tent in the dark. A battle would determine the outcome, and at least they would have to suffer a lot of damage," Zhao Xu said.

Generally speaking, the camps of the Black Iron King's Tent are distributed in a long strip in the middle of the ravine of Qingfeng Mountain. The dense forest on this side of the mountain is very suitable for infantry to hide, and the slope of the mountain is not steep, making it very suitable for ambushing soldiers for a surprise attack.

"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone said in unison.
