East Factory Governor

Chapter 812 Do something
So Qin Shuhuai immediately summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.

After discussing until late at night, everyone basically reached a consensus.

First, there is a great risk in defeating Talong head-on. After all, according to conventional inferences, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army defending Gyeonggi should not be weak, not to mention that the opponent has 5 people.

Second, the terrain of Dongwu is complex, with lush vegetation in most places, and there is a mountain range near Daguang, so the Ming army has the conditions to create an ambush.

As soon as the ambush was mentioned, it was necessary to find those local people from Dongwu for advice.

Ma Bo, the master of the Dongwu Branch of the White Lotus Sect, quickly came in with a few locals, analyzed a map in detail, and soon everyone set their sights on a mountain range.

This mountain range extends from north to south, about tens of miles long, and most of the mountains are virgin forests.

What's even better is that there is an avenue on the west side of the mountain, which leads directly to Daguang, which means that if he wants to find Qin Shuhuai who is stationed in Daguang for a decisive battle, he must pass through this road.

As for this road, the nearest one is only tens of meters away from the foot of the mountain, and the farthest one is only two or three miles away. What does this mean?
It means that if the Ming army sets up Hongyi cannons on the mountain, it can completely bombard the Dongwu army passing by.

And once the Ming army starts bombardment, the Dongwu army is bound to be in chaos, and the Ming army will have a chance to make a surprise attack at that time.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this mountain range stretches for dozens of miles, and the Ming army can ambush anywhere, but the chances of the other party's spies finding the Ming army in the vast virgin forest of tens of miles are very small .

Needless to say, the Ming army immediately placed the ambush at a place called Wulahe, [-] miles north of Daguang City.It's not far or close to the avenue, about a mile away, and it's not very noticeable—if it's too close to the avenue, the Dongwu spies will definitely focus on searching, but don't underestimate the Dongwu people in the jungle. search capabilities.

After making up his mind, the army set off immediately, and almost all of them came out. Only about [-] troops were deployed in Daguang City, and the [-] troops were mainly wounded soldiers during the siege.

The army rushed at night, and it took only an hour to reach Ulahe.

The Ming army brought two hundred Hongyi cannons with them when they set off—there were so many Hongyi cannons on the battleship, Qin Shuhuai didn't intend to let them be displayed on the ship.

Qin Shuhuai wanted to put all these cannons on the mountain.

However, at this time, the Demon Sect's Thick Earth Banner was raised. The soil on the mountain is soft. If the cannon is pushed up the mountain, it will leave deep rut marks. If there are too many rut marks, it will be difficult to completely cover them up. If the other party's spies come here to explore the way, As long as you are careful, you will find abnormalities.

Therefore, the cannon must be lifted up.

A cannon weighs about two thousand catties. Under normal circumstances, it would take twenty or thirty people to carry it up the mountain, and it is also very dangerous.However, there is no shortage of masters in the martial arts alliance, as long as there are ten masters above the Xuantong level, they can walk like flying.

So, all the two hundred cannons were lifted up the mountain, and the remaining 1 Ming troops followed closely behind. The demon sect's thick soil flag was at the end. They were responsible for covering the traces of the army with leaves and shrubs. .

This group of guys has a lot of methods. The vegetation that has been trampled can be restored, and the ones that cannot be restored are simply pulled out, and then the same vegetation is obtained from other places and "planted" on it, almost all traces are wiped off. Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but say "professional" after reading it.

After setting up the cannon and hiding the people, the Ming army began a long wait.

But Houtuqi continued to help disguise. This group of people seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, as if they couldn't sleep at night if they didn't hide these 1 people until they couldn't find them with a magnifying glass.

In the middle of the night, the spies from Dongchang came to report that the Dongwu army was about to set up camp twenty miles ahead.The Dongwu people seemed to be planning to rest there, recharge their energy and wait until the next day before marching.

Qin Shuhuai felt itchy when he heard it.

If the enemy army camped at night and rested, it would be a loss if they didn't do something.

After thinking about it, I found a few people from the Tang Sect.

Like most martial arts sects, the head of the Tang Sect, Tang Sanniang, did not come with the army this time, only a former manager of the Tang Sect surnamed Zhao and a dozen Tang Sect disciples, but because the Tang Sect was destroyed, this The steward who stayed in the coalition army to avoid catastrophe has been promoted to one of the elders.

Qin Shuhuai asked Elder Zhao, "Elder Zhao, before the head of Tang Sect returned to Sichuan, he told me that he had prepared some things for this expedition in case of emergencies. I wonder if you disciples of the Tang Sect brought these things? "

Elder Zhao nodded, "I have, but not many."

"Not much is how much?"

"Anyway, we can't kill as many as 5 people. This thing is really difficult to match. Many raw materials can only be picked once every ten or twenty years. The batch used to deal with the Demon Cult last time basically used up our inventory."

Qin Shuhuai's face was full of shadows, and he thought to himself, I didn't say that I would kill 5 people with poison!

"How much can that knock down?"

"Ten thousand people, if the placement is good."

Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, "That's enough."

The "thing" the two of them discussed was naturally used when dealing with the Demon Cult, the famous "thousands of poisons and thousands of Gu Xuanzhong".

So Qin Shuhuai called Li Daliang again, and told him about his plan, Li Daliang nodded immediately.

He said, "Duke, just leave this matter to us."

Qin Shuhuai shook his head and said, "No, I'll go with you two. Besides, this matter should not be made public, just do it quietly."

The reason why I don't want more people to know is actually because I don't want people from the Demon Cult to know.

After all, I used this poison to kill nearly ten thousand demon sect soldiers. Although the demon sect put down their old enemies to work with me now, it is always bad to remind them of the past.

So the two carried thousands of poisons and thousands of Gu Xuanzhong poison on their backs, and quietly went down the mountain.

Running wildly all the way with light work, taking advantage of the dark night, he quickly came to the enemy camp.

At this time, most of the camps of the Dongwu soldiers had been set up, and layers of patrol soldiers were everywhere, showing the good military quality of this army.

After camping, it is natural to bury the pot and cook.

Qin Shuhuai and Li Daliang looked at each other, and they were both glad that they came at the right time.

At night, with Qin Shuhuai and Li Daliang's cultivation base, it's no problem to come and go freely in the Dongwu camp.

They first looked around and found the most dense source of water for Dongwuhuofu soldiers. It was a small lake, and there were at least two hundred Dongwu soldiers guarding the lake.

Protecting water sources is something any experienced general will do.

Some of the two hundred black soldiers guarded at fixed points, and some patrolled and guarded, especially at the main water intake.

Qin Shuhuai and Li Daliang thought of a way together.

The two of them first figured out the walking route of the men who fetched water, and then ambush somewhere.

Not long after, three gangsters came over together, all carrying buckets in their hands.

Qin Shuhuai and Li Daliang immediately struck out and knocked the three people unconscious.

Then they dragged the three of them to the nearby woods, took off the clothes of two of them and put them on, and pretended to be cooks and soldiers with buckets to fetch water from the lake.

Of course, before leaving, Li Daliang broke the necks of all three of them.

After they came to the lake with buckets, they took advantage of the time to fetch water and secretly poured all the mystic bells with thousands of poisons into the lake.

In fact, when they were fetching water, there were about a dozen Dongwu soldiers around them ten steps away, but because of the darkness, these Dongwu soldiers couldn't see their movements clearly at all with their weak torches.

In addition, because many of the black soldiers in it are Akhmutan, they are usually trained by each village, and they don't know each other, so although Li Daliang and Qin Shuhuai are a bit unfamiliar, they didn't arouse the anger of the black soldiers on the bank. vigilance.

After everything was settled, Qin Shuhuai and Li Daliang came back.

As for whether the Dongwu people would find out that the three cooks were missing, Qin Shuhuai was actually not worried.

Because on the one hand, when they found out that the cooks and soldiers were missing, they probably had already finished their meal, so it would be useless for them to find out. up.

On the other hand, even if they found out that the cook was missing before eating, they would probably think that they had escaped.

And just because the three cooks disappeared, Qin Shuhuai felt that the possibility of giving up the cooked meal immediately after being alerted was high and relatively small—even, in order to avoid punishment, the generals in charge of the three cooks might not be Will report this matter.

Qin Shuhuai and Li Daliang returned to the ambush site after hiding their merits and fame, and they didn't tell anyone what they were doing. Only Elder Zhao of the Tang Sect knew, but he couldn't tell.

Let's say that night, there was nothing in the Dongwu camp, and it was extremely peaceful.

It takes six hours for the poison of the Thousand Poisons Thousand Gu Xuanzhong to take effect, so the time to witness the miracle has not yet come.

The next day was bright, and the Dongwu army, eager to find Qin Shuhuai's main force for a decisive battle, set off immediately after breakfast and headed straight for Daguang City.

The ambitious Talong looked firmly into the distance, just like when he led his elite troops to conquer the local armed forces of various ethnic groups in Dongwu, he had no reason to think that he would fail this time.

The Dongwu Dynasty was built down from his ancestors Mang Yinglong, King Liangyuan, and Anabilong, and it has achieved the most powerful period here. He has no reason to think that he will fail.

And in Ulahe, the Ming army was waiting in ambush.
