Chapter 2972 2974 [Victory in the first battle]
After the distribution, Xiang Nan immediately led the group of heroes, armed with all their weapons, and went down the mountain to meet the enemy.
When I came to the middle of the mountain, I saw Yuan soldiers had already set up camp at the foot of the mountain and guarded all the mountain roads.
Except for the birds, it is impossible for anyone to escape.
"Hey, that's..." Xiang Nan suddenly saw a few flags in the camp that looked familiar.
He used the Zixia magical power to transport the true energy to the eyes, and his eyesight increased several times, and he finally saw the flags clearly.
It was the gold-embroidered flags that were planted on the big Persian ship before.
"Damn it, those Persians really didn't have faith, they actually colluded with Yuan Ting." Xiang Nan was filled with righteous indignation when he saw it.
He originally let the Persian Mingjiao go, and didn't let Juejue Shitai kill them all. Unexpectedly, they would avenge their kindness, instead of returning to Persia as promised, they colluded with Yuan Ting instead.
It is really tolerable, which one is unbearable.
All the heroes saw that Xiang Nan's face was suddenly covered with purple clouds, and then passed away suddenly. It was really miraculous, and they couldn't help being surprised. They felt that Xiang Nan was possessed by a fairy, and they had a little more confidence in him.
And when they learned that the Persian Mingjiao had colluded with Yuan Ting, they couldn't help but cursed in anger.
"Sure enough, they are not of my race, so their hearts must be different. Song Shaoxia, this time we must not spare them lightly."
"That's right, if you catch these Persians again this time, you must kill them without mercy, and you must not let them go."
"These **** broke their promises, broke their promises and became fat. They can no longer be called human beings. They must be taught a lesson."
Xiang Nan nodded, and then ordered everyone to start preparing rocks, giant trees, artillery, tung oil, etc., to prepare for an offensive and defensive battle with Yuan soldiers.
…
Wudang Mountain is more than 1,600 meters above sea level, with 18 upper and lower plateaus, with twists and turns and winding peaks.
Not to mention that one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it, but it is not so easy to attack, and it is bound to pay a heavy price.
At this time, there are 1,500 people on Wudang Mountain, and most of them are martial arts masters. It is not a problem for one to be ten.
Therefore, with only 20,000 elite soldiers, it is still a bit difficult to take down Wudang Mountain.
Under Xiang Nan's arrangement, the heroes began to prepare.
Pile boulders, build passes, store kerosene, prepare logs... Arrange them one by one.
The most important thing is the artillery shipped by Xiang Nantuo Haisha faction. Although these guns were originally ship guns, the classification of ancient artillery is not so accurate.
As long as it can make a sound and injure people, it is enough.
Just as the heroes were preparing, a scribe in Tsing Yi came up the mountain.
"Dong Bisheng, His Royal Highness Prince Kukutmur is here to accompany you, and I am hereby ordered by the Prince to persuade you heroes to surrender. If you are willing to lay down your arms and submit to my Dayuan, His Royal Highness will reward you heavily. Don't hesitate to pay money or beauties.
If it is not the case, once the army attacks the mountain, you will not be able to eat and walk around. "The scribe in Tsing Yi stepped forward and said.
"Tell your prince, all our heroes rose up only to save the common people and restore our Han people. Life and death have long been out of the question. If you fight, then come to fight. If you are afraid of death, you are not a good man!" Xiang Nan said loudly.
Dong Bisheng nodded when he heard this, and was about to turn around and leave.
Xiang Nan suddenly asked again, "Is Kukutmoor leading the army this time?"
"Hahahaha, do you know whose ashram Wudang Mountain is?! This is the ashram of Emperor Zhenwu, and I am the heir of Emperor Zhenwu. No matter how powerful your prince is, he is only a mere mortal, can he be compared with my heir of Zhenwu?" Xiang Nan sneered, "By the way, is your Princess Min Min Te Moore here?"
Dong Bisheng smiled slightly when he heard it, "So what if it's here. To tell you the truth, it's our princess's idea to lead a heavy army to surround Wudang Mountain this time when you are getting married."
"So that's it." Xiang Nan nodded, and suddenly thrust out a sword, only to see a flash of sword light, and then Dong Bisheng's ears fell to the ground, causing him to scream out in pain.
"You are a Han Chinese, but you are working for the Yuan people. Cutting off your ears is a small punishment and a big punishment." Xiang Nan said coldly.
Dong Bisheng grinned his teeth in pain, but he had no choice but to cover his ears and walked down the mountain like a lost dog.
Everyone saw that he was able to cut off two ears with only one stab of the sword. The strangeness and speed of the sword stroke was really unimaginable, and they couldn't help applauding loudly.
…
After a while, Yamashita seemed to have received the news that the heroes were not going to surrender, and immediately began to beat the drums and ordered to send troops.
Following that, five thousand-man teams came to fight up the mountain together.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he immediately issued an order, calling on all heroes to respond to the enemy.
A moment later, the thousand-man team came up the mountain.
Xiang Nan gave an order, and the heroes immediately attacked with hidden weapons. I saw countless stones attacking Yuan soldiers like migrating locusts.
The Yuan soldiers immediately raised their shields to defend, and at the same time, bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot towards the mountain.
The Great Yuan Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and the quality of Yuan soldiers is actually far less elite than the Mongolian army a hundred years ago.
But Wang Baobao and his father Ruyang Wang are now the only people available to the Yuan court, who are responsible for helping the Yuan court put out fires and suppress rebellion.
Therefore, this army can be described as brave and good at fighting, extremely elite, and it is the most available soldier in the Yuan court. Facing the attack of the heroes, there is naturally a way to deal with it.
A stack of shields can block hidden weapons. But bending a bow and nodding an arrow, you can fight back, which is truly remarkable.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is not a mediocre person. If he had known that Yuan people were good at riding and shooting, he would not be unprepared. As early as when the upper and lower eighteen passes were built, preparations had been made in advance.
The pass is made of boulders, and the top is sealed with trees as beams, shaped like an upside-down box, which can effectively prevent arrow attacks.
This point, people who have not read the art of war and have real contact with actual combat, will definitely never think of it.
…
Seeing Yuan soldiers holding their shields, shooting arrows upwards and attacking the mountain at the same time, Xiang Nan was not in a hurry, but ordered the group of heroes to fill up the gunpowder and get ready to go.
When Yuan soldiers approached the pass, they were less than twenty meters away.
Xiang Nan gave an order, "Light it up!"
Just listen to bang, bang, bang, bang, several cannons sounded in a row, sand and stones splashed, flames flew into the air, hundreds of Yuan soldiers were bombarded by this round of cannons, their limbs were all over the ground, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Seeing this scene, both Yuan Bing and the heroes were shocked.
Although all heroes are used to seeing life and death, such tragic scenes are not often seen. To be honest, fighting in martial arts is really nothing compared to fighting in the battlefield.
Martial arts fights, with a scale of more than 2,000 people, are extremely rare. Most of them are fire gangs of a hundred or twenty or thirty people. And on the battlefield, it is perfectly normal for hundreds of thousands of people to fight together.
It is much larger, crueler and more shocking than fighting in martial arts.
Seeing that the morale of the Yuan soldiers was hindered, Xiang Nan immediately took the opportunity to call on the heroes to fire hidden weapons. After a round of volley, more than two hundred Yuan soldiers were killed, forcing the Yuan soldiers to retreat temporarily.
When the heroes saw it, they applauded one after another. It was a small victory in the first battle.
