Chapter 2716: Fighting for wisdom and courage
Moreover, the strange flames that could burn people to death also made the Mongolian soldiers at the foot of the mountain feel unspeakable anxiety. Guo Baoyu could clearly know this by looking at the faces of the Mongolian soldiers.
For the fire that is burning for unknown things, its extremely tragic way of killing people will inevitably feel awe when you see it.
Guo Baoyu also knew that if he ordered the soldiers to rush upward, it would only cause greater damage to his own people, so he ordered the Mongolian army to retreat immediately.
At this time, the three generations of the Guo family looked at the top of the Hutou Peak on the mountain. Under the light of the fire, the top of the Hutou Peak was like a sharp wolf tooth standing towards the sky.
It was standing on the edge of the range that the flames shone, like a giant god standing in the dark!… “Can we fight during the day, can we be better?”
At this time, Guo Kan, who was fifteen or sixteen, saw that his grandfather and father were not talking, so he muttered in a low voice.
Then when he saw his father turn to look here, he saw Guo Kan straighten his back, and then said with a striking remark: "The position on the mountain is so small, how many people can be hidden in total?
During the day, we can siege from all sides and have a clear vision, which is conducive to the soldiers shooting arrows. At that time, our advantageous number can be exerted..." "When the enemy fires muskets, we can see more clearly during the day!"
At this time, Guo Dehai did not hesitate and interrupted his son with one sentence: "The top of the mountain is narrow, just like you said, when we really rushed to the top, we couldn't stand near the top!"
After saying that, he patted his son's head and said, "Master Torre's order is to let us attack Xiangyang City as soon as possible."
"So if you delay too long at the foot of this Hutou Mountain or kill too many Mongolian warriors in battle, you will not be glorious if you win our Guo family!"
"What do you think you should do?"
At this time, the old general Guo Baoyu, who had not made any sound for a long time, turned around and looked at his son Guo Dehai.
"Let's try it tomorrow to see if we can bypass Hutou Peak and attack Xiangyang City directly."
At this time, Guo Dehai continued: "The terrain on this Hutou Peak is small and the number of people is small, so it does not pose a threat to us."
"So as long as we can conquer Xiangyang City, we can just send troops to surround them and starve them to death directly. Why do we have to use human lives to pile up now?"
"What I said makes sense, but can this Hutou Peak get around? Can our Bing Peak go straight to the city of Xiangyang... Isn't it too much to say!"
When Guo Baoyu said this, he looked at the fire on the mountain in the distance, and a cold light flashed! "Let the soldiers build low walls outside the fire at night, at least they can sit behind without worrying about being shot by the opponent's muskets, and then send troops behind the short walls."
Guo Baoyu said coldly: "If the plan to circulate Xiangyang during the day tomorrow cannot be successful, we can let a large number of troops touch the back of the short wall and set out directly from the stone wall to attack the enemy."
"We just need to use one day to advance ten feet away and gain a foothold there..." Guo Baoyu turned around and looked at his own son and grandson, and said with a faint expression: "At that time, every soldier can shoot feather arrows onto the other party's position. When we shoot ten thousand arrows at once, they can't raise their heads. I see how these people guard this mountain!"
"Good way, daddy!"
At this time, Guo Dehai agreed in surprise when he heard this.
A hint of excitement appeared on the young man Guo Kan's face.
The young man thought to himself: My Mongolian army is invincible in the world, and every soldier is far better than the warriors of other countries.
With the combined force of our Guo family, who can stop our troops?
...In Xiangfan on both sides of the Han River, although the war that night stopped, everyone was busy with nervousness.
On the top of Hutou Peak, the resources sent by Blood Hand Liu Ming finally arrived successfully.
They brought a lot of canned food that was easy to store, as well as a can of can of water, and most importantly, a large number of grenades and incendiary bombs were also sent to the top of the mountain.
Miss Jiang Yuxin had already asked someone to dig up a cellar for storing weapons and equipment, and at this time they were putting these things inside.
If placed in the open air, the water in the jar will deteriorate rapidly, and it is extremely dangerous to store the incendiary bombs in the open air.
After doing this, Miss Jiang Yuxin sent her sister Chen Yaoguang down and asked her to continue to set up a line of thunder defense.
But this time, Chen Yaoguang came back faster than last time!…”The enemy is building a stone wall,” Chen Yaoguang frowned and reported to Miss Jiang with breathlessness: “Just under our noses, about one hundred to one hundred and one hundred and ten meters!”
"They want to rush in and take advantage of the range of the feather arrow."
When Miss Jiang heard this, she nodded thoughtfully while looking at Chen Yaoguang with excitement.
Then she noticed that behind Shen Yaoguang, the two soldiers were carrying a very big thing.
"What did you bring back?"
Miss Jiang asked Chen Yaoguang in confusion.
"I took advantage of their inattention and caught a prisoner back."
Chen Yaoguang's eyes smiled into a crack.
As she waved her hand together, the two soldiers behind her pounced on a large human-shaped package and threw it at Miss Jiang's feet!... On the other hand, Fancheng was also busy all night.
Hai Mutang launched migrant workers overnight to start an emergency repair offensive. They lit a fire under the city wall and dug the moat vigorously for a whole night! The moat, two feet wide and ten feet deep, quickly extended to both sides along the north gate.
The large amount of soft mud that had originally accumulated in the moat was dug out and was cultivated on the side facing the enemy.
Although digging trenches and transporting soil is extremely tiring, under the stimulation of a large amount of money and land, the recruited men are still working frantically and almost stopping for a moment.
The experienced Hai Mutang lets her soldiers watch them construction, so as to avoid sarcastic and strange words or passive slack among the civilians.
These soldiers also followed Hai Mutang's instructions and constantly encouraged these civilians to speed up their actions.
According to them, the work done by these civilians is as glorious as that of soldiers fighting, and is all to protect the villagers and neighbors in Fancheng.
This also made these villagers extremely tired, but they still used all their strength.
