Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Dingguo and Nighthawk were both practical people. Once they decided what they wanted to do, they became silent and began to carefully observe the tall Dingjun Mountain opposite, where a heavy army was stationed. They first drew a terrain map  , and then marked the locations of the outposts and outposts one by one on the map, and also delineated each area. On the map, mark where there was a big rock, where there was a ditch, etc. as accurately as possible.  ¡÷¨J The more preparation you have, the more chance you have of winning. Li Dingguo understood this truth. Once they got into work, the two of them immediately forgot about time and kept observing, digging out the hidden sentries set up by Hong Chengchou and looking for patrols.  Follow the rules and never miss any possible breakthrough. In addition, you also need to consider factors such as time.  Two days, two full days, except for changing the observation location or angle from time to time, and if it were not for adding or subtracting something on the map with charcoal from time to time, the two of them would not move for half a day, and they would almost become "Wangwang Stone".  Li Dingguo and Nighthawk stayed awake for two days. They drank some cold water when they were thirsty and ate some dry food when they were hungry. Finally, their efforts were not in vain. After two days and two nights, they drew a very detailed map of Dingjun Mountain.  Defense map.  Of course, most of the credit goes to clairvoyance, and the cold weather also helped a lot. The leaves fell, which minimized the factor of sight.  After returning to Wujiawan, the two went to the house of the village patriarch Wu Youtian and fell asleep. They slept from morning until midnight.  They didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and they didn't dare to neglect for a moment. Their eyes turned into rabbit eyes and they were mentally exhausted. If the mission wasn't urgent, they could just sleep for another day and night. Unfortunately, time didn't allow for it. Once Lu Haoshan led the way,  The army was about to arrive. Secondly, Hong Chengchou led his troops to help encircle and suppress Zhang Rui. I didn't know when he would return.  Of course it¡¯s better to act when he¡¯s not here.  After getting up, the two of them finished washing.  After having another meal carefully prepared by Chief Wu Youtian, they immediately took out their respective maps and began to compare them, looking for their own shortcomings and learning from each other's strengths. The comparison lasted an hour, and each party had some mistakes and omissions, and even went out in the middle.  After correction and summary, I finally got a relatively complete defense map.  Li Dingguo picked up the map and began to look for a path leading up the mountain.  It is very difficult to accurately predetermine the target without letting the enemy discover it, avoid the layers of open posts and hidden sentries, and take into account the patrols. Hong Chengchou was a famous general with rich experience. He also set up ten patrols on a mountain.  The second line of defense can be described as abnormal.  It is to reach the destination, not only to achieve the goal.  It was also necessary to formulate a withdrawal route, which was not an easy task. Li Dingguo continued to calculate and deduce, frowning from time to time.  At the end of the day, I pushed the pen away somewhat helplessly.  Although the Nighthawk can provide the Qing army with armor and can sneak in, it must be blown up close to it.  It became an almost impossible task to escape calmly after making such a noise.  Seeing Li Dingguo push away the pen, Nighthawk smiled bitterly and said, "General. You're right, Hong Chengchou managed the Dingjun Mountain Pass like an iron barrel. I heard that there are several slogans for going up the mountain. The Hongyi  The cannon is placed in a cave. It is said that Hong Chengchou's warrant is required to approach it. It can be said that it is heavily guarded. If you want to think of a way in Hanzhong City to create a little chaos, maybe this opportunity will come out. " "At the beginning, Nighthawk came.  Not optimistic about this plan, but now seeing Li Dingguo's frustrated look, he quickly persuaded him from the side.  Li Dingguo said with some helplessness: "No matter how you calculate it, it's still close in the end. The defense projects are interconnected, which is really amazing." "That is, even if the general arrives successfully, it will not be easy to escape after he succeeds, unless they all fall asleep.  But this is simply impossible. The general is the rising star of Sichuan, and the governor also values ??the general very much. There is no need to risk his life." Nighthawk said in a low voice: "There is no need to take risks alone if the situation cannot be violated. I will tell the governor.  Explain the situation, and I don¡¯t think you will blame the general. " Li Dingguo is a popular figure in Sichuan and has won the trust of the governor. His uncle Li Nian is the chief think tank of the governor. The two uncles and nephews are very popular in Sichuan.  With such characters, Nighthawk naturally wants to get closer to each other.  This is called Huahuaqiaozi, which is carried by everyone.  "Asleep?" Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and soon his eyes lit up and he said, "There is a way. Why didn't I think of it? Just do it like this." Nighthawk was stunned when he heard this, and said with some confusion: "General,  What do you mean?" Li Dingguo changed his depressed look and said cheerfully: "It can't be implemented in the future, because no matter how you calculate it, there is never enough time. Fortunately, you reminded me, that's right, it's just one word, sleep.  It can be solved as soon as you fall asleep." Nighthawk was confused and said in surprise: "General, don't you still want to make up your mind about Junshan?"   "It didn't work just now, but fortunately you reminded us, so we let those soldiers fall asleep so that we can start." "I would like to hear the details." Li Dingguo said with confidence: "Now that winter has not gone,  The branches have not sprouted yet, and the field of view is very wide. There is no chance during the day. We can only wait for night. The best time is after the second watch. Only then will the density of defense be relaxed, and we will have the opportunity to sneak in. To reach the destination, we still need to wait.  There is not enough time to blow up the target smoothly, but Ben will be inspired by your words. Since it cannot be completed in one night, then we will use two nights. The night before, we will first sneak to the vicinity of the Hongyi Cannon, and then lurk in the water.  In the ditch, wait until dark before taking action." After a pause, Li Dingguo chuckled and continued: "The people who can guard the Hongyi cannon should be Hong Chengchou's soldiers. It can be seen that Hong Chengchou treats his soldiers well, and he is afraid that they will be wronged.  We send cooks to deliver supper to them every night. As long as we can do something with the supper, the Hongyi artillery will be at our fingertips. "Hiding under the eyes of more than 20,000 Qing soldiers during the day?  This is definitely a crazy idea, let alone how to tamper with the food. Nighthawk was shocked when he heard this. He came back to his senses and quickly comforted: "General, no, even if you can succeed, you have to  It is too difficult to retreat from the heavy defenses. General, please think twice." "Of course, I will not let my brothers die, Nighthawk, as long as you prepare my horse at the location I designated.  But if you say that Dingjun Mountain is the butt of a tiger, then I will touch the tiger and show it to you," Li Dingguo said with confidence.  "But. General" "Let's decide." Li Dingguo said firmly.  Seeing that Li Dingguo had made up his mind, Nighthawk knew that it would be useless to talk any more, so he could only say, "Yes, if the general needs anything, just ask me. I will try my best." "Okay, I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Nighthawk." Li Dingguo was also polite.  .  The two discussed for a while, and soon, Li Dingguo gathered his men who had rested for two days, took out the map, and explained the defense of Dingjun Mountain in detail.  He told his men about his plan, and everyone gathered together to discuss it for a long time. Even Nighthawk was a little surprised when he heard it.  For example, what steps should be used to be fast and the sound volume can be controlled to a minimum, how many meters should be walked in how much time, what clothes to wear, where to reach before the Qing army changes defense, how to react when the enemy discovers it, etc., it can be said that it is meticulous  To the extreme, they even made several kinds of records when encountering emergencies. Even Nighthawk, who was accustomed to intelligence work, was moved by this professional spirit.  Nighthawk finally understood that Li Dingguo¡¯s ability to stand in this position and gain such respect from the Governor was definitely due to more than just luck.  After listening to Li Dingguo's plan, Nighthawk became more confident that Li Dingguo could destroy the Hongyi cannon.  Time flies.  In winter, night falls very quickly, and there are no programs in remote mountain villages. The villagers of Wujiawan have eaten early.  As soon as it gets dark, I hide in bed, firstly to keep warm, and secondly, to save some lamp oil when it gets dark.  The team members specially selected by Li Dingguo gathered at the home of the leader Wu Youtian. Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, waiting for the time to set off.  Three updates are coming.  Li Dingguo opened his eyes suddenly and whispered: "Action!" With the order, the men who had been sitting quietly began to move. They had been prepared for a long time, and each one of them was like an agile rabbit or a ghost in the dark.  , without lighting a torch, we set out on the road relying only on the dim starlight, and soon disappeared on the country road.  Professional, the Nighthawk on the side secretly shouted in his mind: Everyone is wearing black night clothes, from head to toe, even the shoes are black soft-soled cloth shoes, and the face is wrapped in a black scarf, only a pair of eyes are exposed.  The most exaggerated thing is that in order to prevent the weapons from reflecting light, all weapons were wrapped in black cloth before departure.  This team has already done everything I thought of. Even the details I didn¡¯t think of, these people have also done it.  Hope everything goes well.  "Sir, what should we do now?" Wu Youtian whispered from the side.  After these unexpelled guests left, Wu Youtian breathed a sigh of relief. The Qing army was now closely monitoring them. Although the people in the village were all members of his own family, these people were a time bomb in the village. Now that they are gone, this way  There is no need to worry, even if the Qing soldiers come to search, there is no need to be afraid.  ¡°A small village with only more than thirty households suddenly became a little conspicuous when dozens of people poured into it.  Nighthawk said expressionlessly: "You have people deal with all the traces and just treat them as if they have never been here." No matter whether the mission is successful or not, Li Dingguo and his party will not come back here again. This is just a place to stay, here  Li DingjunThe mountain is so close and if you make such a big noise, you will definitely be implicated.  "Yes, sir." After Nighthawk finished his instructions, he stopped talking, turned around and disappeared into the vast night In fact, Nighthawk didn't finish walking. He left Wujiawan Village and went straight to the road he walked with Li Dingguo yesterday.  On the Bijia Mountain where he was observing, he took out his clairvoyance and carefully searched for Li Dingguo and others, because he had made an appointment with Li Dingguo. If necessary, the nighthawk would make noise at the foot of the mountain to attract attention and create opportunities for Li Dingguo.  Nighthawk participated in the planning, and also listened to the secret meeting between Li Dingguo and his subordinates. He knew Li Dingguo's route and soon found Li Dingguo and his party in the eyes of the clairvoyant.  To be honest, if Li Dingguo's route had not been known in advance, it would have been difficult to find them, because they were almost disappearing into the night. Nighthawk saw that Li Dingguo took the lead and walked at the front, attacking his subordinates from time to time.  Gestures and sign language communication were used throughout the process. Those subordinates cooperated with dozens of people as if they were one person, showing great tacit understanding.  The reason why I recognized Li Dingguo was that he was very tall and tall, and he felt like he stood out among so many people.  As Li Dingguo and others advanced, the closer they got to Dingjun Mountain, the more nervous Nighthawk became. They were afraid that if they were accidentally discovered by the Qing army, not only would all their previous efforts be wasted, but their lives would also be in danger.  Soon, Nighthawk's heart slowly relaxed, and his worry turned into appreciation.  Because Li Dingguo and the others performed so well, they were too good to find fault with: their steps were so light, their movements were so agile, and their timing was so perfect. They overcame obstacles, passed through blockades, and avoided enemy patrols.  He is as skillful as taking a leisurely stroll. While moving forward, he does not forget to eliminate the traces behind him. That kind of sneaking in like a drizzle of water to moisten things is enough to be written in a textbook.  While admiring it, Nighthawk became proud again and applauded the powerful Sichuan army.  As a member of the Sichuan Army, he is naturally worthy of pride and pride.  Nighthawk watched, feeling that he was not following and cooperating, but enjoying a big show, and this big show was the kind of show that was really broadcast live. It was really worth it.  In the telescope, the speed of Li Dingguo and his party varied between fast and slow. When it was fast, it would advance dozens of meters in a moment, and when it was slow, it would not move for half an hour.  And the timing is also different. Sometimes we take advantage of the enemy's change of defense to advance, and sometimes we take advantage of the soldiers on the sentry turning around to urinate. Fortunately, there are always no dangers. The most thrilling one is a patrol on the mountainside.  They were supposed to be on patrol, but they didn't expect that a soldier had hidden something private and took it out to share with his comrades. They stopped.  It took up the time for Li Dingguo and his party to pass. Fortunately, they all passed without any danger in the end.  Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, a trace of white fish belly appeared on the horizon.  Unconsciously, it was dawn. Just before dawn, Li Dingguo and his party successfully reached the deep ditch over there. Dozens of people disappeared into the deep ditch in a few breaths.  Nighthawk let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that Li Dingguo successfully passed the first level.  As soon as it was daytime, Li Dingguo led his people to hide in the ditch. They hid in the ditch motionless and spent the night in fear. Everyone was tired and had to stay there for the whole day. It was the best way to pass the time.  The most important thing is to sleep, so that you can recharge your batteries, but not everyone can sleep, someone needs to be on guard, so Li Dingguo gestured for his men to sleep in batches.  ¡­¡­¡­ For a military camp, it is mostly tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The reason is very simple. Someone is on guard outside. If anything happens, the brothers outside will deal with it first. In this mentality, the internal defense is stronger than the external defense.  Be loose.  The people inside were not only much more relaxed, but also much better treated. For example, the guards guarding the Hongyi cannon were not only paid well, but their food and drinks were also different from those of ordinary soldiers. In order to keep the guards energetic, Hong Chengchou ordered the cook.  At three o'clock every night, supper is given to the soldiers guarding the Hongyi cannon.  The old man is the cook responsible for delivering supper.  "Damn, that old turtle must be out of money, otherwise I will lose one night, and I will almost lose my pants." The old man muttered this night while carrying the supper on the way.  All the old man's family members died in the war. Now he can feed the whole family by himself. He usually likes to gamble on second-hand money. This night, he lost all the money he just received. Not to mention the pain in his heart, he couldn't help but curse him for winning.  His old turtle, an old man with a short neck, looks like a turtle, so he is called Laogui. He is very lucky tonight.  "Get out of the way." Just as the old man passed a fork in the road, a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly walked out from beside him. They walked ahead without any reason and even shouted at the old man to get out of the way.  The old guy didn¡¯t dare to say anything because he heard that the person who said this had a Shaanxi accent. Most of the people with a Shaanxi accent were soldiers of General Pingxi. He didn¡¯t dare to offend these people.  "Hey, suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up, he saw the patrol?The person walking at the end had a money bag behind his waist. I wonder if he was walking in a hurry when gambling, and it was not tied securely. It was shaking and shaking, and it looked like it was about to fall.  Drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it quickly, the old man kept shouting in his heart. Now that he had lost all his money, he was eager to pay for it. I wonder if he heard the call of the old guy, and the money bag shook twice.  , and suddenly fell into the grass nearby. What made the old man's heart beat faster was that the guy who dropped the money didn't even notice.  The God of Wealth came to the door, but he couldn't stop him. The old man deliberately slowed down his pace. After the patrols passed by, the old man with gleaming eyes immediately put down the food box, carrying the lantern, and immediately went to the grass to look for the man.  Dropped money bag.  Just when the old man lowered his head to look for the money bag, a man suddenly flashed out of the darkness. This man was dressed in black and only showed a pair of bright eyes. He glanced at the old man who was happily picking up money and took out a bag from his arms.  Pack the white powder, pour it quietly into the soup can, and mix it with your fingers a few times, then gently restore the food box to its original shape, and then retreat calmly before the old man comes back.  "One tael, two taels, five taels, well, there are still more than thirty copper coins here, hehe, it's paid. This place is almost equal to my two months' salary. It's really blessed by the God of Wealth." The old man nodded the money.  , put it in his arms with a smile, and muttered: "I found a treasure on the ground, I can't find it after asking the sky and the earth." The old man who was only looking for money didn't notice that someone had tampered with his food box.  , not to mention that the team of people patrolling in front of him just turned a corner and disappeared quietly into the flowers on the roadside. He was just a small person and didn't have that much thought.  ? Take the chef's cashier to dry the chef, where so much experience, but the old man did not expect that sometimes the little people can change the big event.  After picking up the silver, the old man happily took up the burden of filling the food box again, whistling and delivering supper to the soldiers.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
