Chapter 090 The first time
"High up a little more." Wei Ba raised his neck and looked at the Kongming lantern rising higher and higher - no, now he has nothing to do with Prime Minister Zhuge. This is the invention of Wei Zongjun. He rose higher and higher, and he emitted a soft light in the dusk, like a miracle.
He spent two days preparing this Kongming lantern. He had never calculated how many pieces of silk he used. Anyway, the number was amazing, so the lamp was big enough to make Meng Da in Fangling City notice the red "Han" character on the lamp.
"Mengda, once this lamp is released, you can feel at ease, but I am in danger. I don't know how many people will send to chase me. But it doesn't matter, I am now condescending, one, one, two, and one pair.
What made Wei Ba happier than the favorable terrain was the surprised gaze of the soldiers. They raised their heads one by one, and watched the light ball of silk sacs slowly expand into an extremely huge ball on the action of a pot of fire, and then slowly rose to the sky and turned into a ball of light and shadow. Looking at the word "Han" sewn from red silk on the ball, and then thinking about the light ball that was originally so huge, they were all shocked.
No one expected that Wei Ba would use this method to show Meng Da and Wei Jun his arrival. This incredible method was so successful that it not only achieved its goal perfectly, but also successfully captured the hearts of a thousand soldiers.
"Wei Jun, you are so good, you can actually... come up with such a solution." Zhang Yan smacked his lips and shook his head. Although he witnessed all this with his own eyes, he still found it incredible.
Wei Ba smiled reservedly, trying to make himself look calm and composed. "Zi Wang, do you think Meng Da in the city can see that word clearly?"
Zhang Shu smiled: "Even if he can't see it, there are always people under his command who have good eyesight to see it. I don't think there is any problem, this silk sac..." He shook his tilt for too long, his neck was sore, and his neck bones made a giggle. "This silk sac is too big, I think it's a little bigger than the city tower on the top of the city. If I can see the city tower, he should be able to see this silk sac."
"I don't think there is any problem," Zhou Yu echoed: "It will soon become dark and you will see clearly. It will be northwest wind again, which will blow the silk bag towards Fangling, so they can see more clearly."
"That's good." Wei Ba actually had done calculations before, and it was estimated that Meng Da could see the words above clearly at such a distance. Now he asked a few questions, just to take the opportunity to say a few words to these two people and bring them closer together. "Yun Yang, you arrange someone to take care of this silk bag and pull it down in time. As long as the wind is not strong, we will let the signal light turn on overnight."
"It must be sure, don't worry, join the army. I'm just sleeping today and I will never let any mistakes in this signal light." Zhou Yu grinned and laughed, looking at the light ball in the sky, as if he was looking at a beautiful woman, and he couldn't bear to move his eyes away for a moment.
The soldiers were so shocked that after dinner, when it was time to rest, many people refused to sleep. They quietly got out of the tent, raised their necks, and looked at the light ball that was a little brighter than the moon through the sparse or dense tree canopy.
Wei Ba and others who were discussing each other looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly. Zhou Yu and Zhang Shu walked over and whispered to their subordinates to sleep immediately, otherwise they would be punished to watch for a night, and the curious soldiers reluctantly retracted their tents.
Zhou and Zhang walked around and returned to Wei Ba. Zhang shrugged. Half an hour after the signal light rose into the sky, he learned this action. Now it is very natural, as if he had this habit for a long time. He smiled bitterly: "Join the army, these men have never seen the world. The first time they saw such a strange thing, I was very curious."
"It's okay to be curious, but it can't affect rest." Wei Ba said: "We marching for two days and one night. Tomorrow, there may be fierce battles in the middle of the night. If you don't hurry up and rest, you won't have physical strength to fight at that time."
"It is reasonable to join the army, and we have ordered them to go to bed." Zhang Shu said.
"Okay, let's discuss the next battle." Wei Ba took out a picture of the situation just drawn and spread it on the ground. Tang Qianyu stood beside him with a torch and illuminated the map. Zhang Yu and Zhou Yu looked at Wei Ba's shiny eyes under the torch, and naturally became serious. They sat on the stool, leaned over to look at the map, and listened to Wei Ba's arrangements.
According to the reconnaissance of Dunwu and others, this mountain basically travels east-west. Behind them is a narrow valley, which is the way they came. In front of them, there is a hillside with a slope of about 40 degrees. After descending this slope and walking four or five hundred steps forward, it is the camp of the Wei army. If the Wei army wants to attack them, the fastest way is to climb this slope. However, this slope is not easy to climb, and the casualties will inevitably be heavy.
On the south side of the mountain is a small raised cliff, which is straight up and down, and it is difficult to climb without special tools. On the north side of the mountain, there is a higher mountain, like a sharp spearhead, thrusting straight into the sky. It is also difficult to march on that mountain, and just send a few people to monitor it can ensure safety.
In other words, as long as they defend the mountain where they are, even if Sima Yi transferred all 30,000 troops to attack, he would not be able to do anything to Wei Ba in a short time. The only limitation of defending this mountain was food. They marched urgently and only brought dry food for ten days. If it took two to three days to return, he could only stay here for seven days at most. If it took more than seven days, he had to retreat.
Wei Ba didn't know if seven days were enough. His original plan was to hope that Wei Feng could break through Mulanshe within seven days, join forces with Zhuge Qiao to reach Fangling, so that Zhao Guang could transport military rations along the Mianshui River to the vicinity of Fangling, or pass Shangyong, cross Zhushan and deliver the food and grass to his hands.
These are all plans. Although it is possible to achieve the plan, the plan is always a plan. Whether it can be realized in the end depends on the person who executes the plan. Now Wei Ba is most concerned about his elder brother Wei Feng. He led 4,000 people to Mulan Shou. Whether he can quickly take down Mulan Shou is really a question worth discussing. After all, Mulan Shou has three thousand Wei troops guarded, and if he attacks for a strong attack, there is basically no possibility of victory. This is the first time that the elder brother goes on a war. If he has a stubborn temper and insists on taking down Mulan Shou before he will give up, then things will be troublesome.
When Wei Feng thought of Chen Xiang's disregard for him, Wei Ba felt a little uneasy. Wei Feng was not like him. In Wei Feng's heart, the verse was the verse, which was different from the invited strategists, and it was an insurmountable difference.
The more Wei Ba thought about it, the more he regretted it. He was full of troubles, and all kinds of terrible results came out. Even though he knew that the possibility was not great, he began to ferment after his repeated consideration. When he was planning in Anyang, he was far from experiencing this fear. Now he is on the battlefield. Although the war has not yet begun, the atmosphere before the war has made him very sensitive.
"Join the army?" Dunwu didn't know when he came back. Seeing Wei Ba staring at the map for a long time without saying anything, his face was a little pale, while Zhou Riyu and Zhang Shu's eyes were a little weird. He immediately realized Wei Ba's mood at this moment. He shouted quietly: "The surroundings are arranged. As long as the Wei Army takes any action, we will receive an alarm as soon as possible."
Wei Ba was shocked, came to his senses, and nodded in a panic: "That's good, that's good. This... what else do you have to add?"
Zhang Yu coughed, pointed to the map, and said a few things to pay attention to. Zhou Yu didn't say anything, but just nodded. The plan was quickly decided, and Zhang Yu guarded the front line, Zhou Yu guarded the position on the right side, and Wei Ba was in the central army to support him.
After the agreement, Zhang Xi and Zhou Yu stood up and said goodbye. Zhou Yu walked with big strides, but Zhang Xi rubbed for a while. After Zhou Yu walked far, he said, "Is this your first time joining the army?"
Wei Ba nodded awkwardly. Dunwu's eyes tightened and his face sank.
Zhang Xi smiled: "Two years ago, I followed my colleagues to fight for the first time. The enemy was some rebels in Qiang. Before I went there, I was ambitious and felt that I could definitely kill the generals and seize the flag and make great contributions. What do you think in the end?"
Wei Ba understood what he meant, was no longer so embarrassed, and looked at Zhang Shu with gratitude: "No matter what, since you can stand here and speak now and become a commander, your performance will not be too bad."
Zhang Shu bit his lip, as if he was embarrassed. He thought for a while, then he covered his mouth with his hands, covered most of his face and said, "It's shameful to say that when the war drum sounded, I only knew to follow my brother. Wherever he went, I would go, completely forgot where the enemy was. When the fight began, I went to draw my sword, and then I realized that I only had a scabbard."
He paused, shook his head, as if he was still ashamed of what happened back then: "After the war, I can't remember whether I had fought with the Qiang people face to face. I only knew that my legs had run away without any sense, and my hands were trembling. Hahaha..."
After Zhang Shu said that, he laughed twice on his back, looked at Wei Ba, and said encouragemently: "Join the army, I believe that your first combat experience will definitely be better than mine. Even now, if you are in your position, I don't know if I can still make it clear. Believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to do it."
Wei Ba stood up and bowed: "Thank you!"
Zhang Shu bowed his hand and gave a greeting, glanced at Wei Ba, turned around and left.
Wei Ba slowly straightened his waist, looked through the treetops, looked at Fangling City in the distance and the Wei army camp with countless lights on, clenched his fists and said secretly: "Wei Ba, you will definitely do it."——————Please collect and recommend it!
