Chapter 2972 ??Chapter 2974 [Victory in the first battle]
After the distribution, Xiang Nan immediately led the heroes and soldiers down the mountain to meet the enemy.
When they reached the mountainside, they saw that Yuan soldiers had camped at the foot of the mountain and guarded all the mountain roads.
No one can escape except the birds.
"Hey, that''s..." Xiang Nan suddenly saw a few familiar flags in the camp.
He used the Zixia magic power and directed the true energy to his eyes. His eyesight immediately increased several times, and he finally saw the flags clearly.
??It was the same gold-embroidered flags that had been planted on the Persian ship.
“Damn it, those Persians really have no faith and actually colluded with Yuan Ting.” When Xiang Nan saw this, he was filled with indignation.
He originally let the Persian Mingjiao go, but did not let Master Jue kill them all. Unexpectedly, they actually repaid their favor and did not return to Persia as promised. Instead, they colluded with Yuan Ting.
It is really tolerable, but nothing can be tolerated.
When all the heroes saw that Xiang Nan''s face was suddenly filled with purple clouds, and then disappeared suddenly, it was so magical that they couldn''t help being surprised. They felt that he was possessed by a god, and they had a little more confidence in him.
When they learned that the Persian Mingjiao actually colluded with the Yuan Dynasty, they couldn''t help but cursed in anger.
"They are indeed not of my race, and their minds must be different. Young Master Song, we must not spare them lightly this time."
“That’s right, if we catch these Persians again this time, we must kill them without mercy and never let them go.”
“These **** are treacherous, broke their promises and got fat. They can no longer be called human beings. They must be taught a lesson.”
Xiang Nan nodded, and then ordered everyone to prepare stones, giant trees, artillery, tung oil, etc., to prepare for an offensive and defensive battle with the Yuan soldiers.
…
?Wudang Mountain is more than 1,600 meters above sea level. It has 18 upper and lower mountains, winding and winding, with twists and turns.
?It is not said that one man can guard the barrier, but ten thousand men cannot break it, but it is not that easy to attack it, and you will definitely have to pay a heavy price.
At this time, the total number of people on Wudang Mountain totaled 1,500, and most of them were martial arts masters, so it was not a problem to count one against ten.
Hence, with only 20,000 elite soldiers, it is still difficult to capture Wudang Mountain.
Under Xiang Nan''s arrangement, the heroes began to prepare.
Pile boulders, build passes, reserve kerosene, prepare rolling logs...arrange them one by one.
The most important thing is the cannons transported by the Xiangnan Tuo Haisha faction. Although these cannons were originally ship cannons, the ancient classification of cannons was not so precise.
As long as it can be fired and hurt, that is enough.
While the heroes were preparing, a scribe in blue came up the mountain.
"I am Dong Bisheng, and His Highness Prince Kukutmul is accompanying me. I have been ordered by the Prince to persuade all heroes to surrender. If you are willing to put down your arms and submit to me, Dayuan, Your Highness the Prince will be generously rewarded. No money or beauties will be spared."
?If not, once the army attacks the mountain, you won''t be able to carry it around. "The scribe in Tsing Yi stepped forward and said.
"Tell your prince, we heroes are revolting just to save the common people and restore our Han people''s rivers and mountains. Life and death have long been ignored. If you want to fight, then come and fight. If you are afraid of death, you are not a hero!" Xiang Nan said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Dong Bisheng nodded and was about to turn around and leave.
Xiang Nan suddenly asked again, "Is Kukutmul leading the army this time?"
"Yes, His Highness the Prince is wise, martial, brave and good at fighting. You are definitely no match for him." Dong Bisheng nodded and said.
"Hahahaha, do you know whose dojo is in Wudang Mountain?! This is the dojo of Emperor Zhenwu, and I am the descendant of Emperor Zhenwu. No matter how powerful your prince is, he is just a mere mortal, can he be compared with my successor, Zhenwu?" Xiang Nan sneered and said, "By the way, has your princess Min Mintemuir come?" Upon hearing this, Dong Bisheng smiled slightly and said, "So what if she comes. To tell you the truth, on the occasion of your wedding this time, It was our princess’s idea to lead a heavy army to surround Wudang Mountain.”
"That''s it." Xiang Nan nodded, and suddenly thrust out a sword. There was a flash of sword light, and then Dong Bisheng''s ears fell to the ground, and he screamed out in pain.
"You are a Han Chinese, but you have sacrificed your life for the Yuan people. Cutting off your ears is a small punishment but a big warning." Xiang Nan said coldly.
Dong Bisheng grimaced in pain, but Xiang Nan had no choice but to cover his ears and walk down the mountain like a lost dog.
??Everyone saw that he could cut off two ears with only one thrust of his sword. The sword was so strange and fast that it was unbelievable, and they couldn''t help but cheer loudly.
…
?After a while, Yamashita seemed to have received the news that the heroes were not ready to surrender, and immediately began to beat the war drums and ordered the general to send troops.
?Following this, I saw five teams of thousands of people, fighting together up the mountain.
As soon as Xiang Nan saw it, he immediately issued an order and called on the heroes to respond to the enemy.
After a while, a team of thousands came up the mountain.
Xiang Nan gave the order, and the heroes immediately attacked with hidden weapons. He saw countless stones attacking Yuan Bing like locusts.
The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty immediately raised their shields to defend themselves. At the same time, they bent their bows and shot arrows towards the mountain.
?A hundred years after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the quality of the Yuan soldiers was actually far behind the elite level of the Mongolian army a hundred years ago.
But Wang Baobao and his father, King Ruyang, are now the only people available to the Yuan Ting. They are responsible for helping the Yuan Ting put out fires and suppress rebellions.
Therefore, this army can be said to be brave, good at fighting, and extremely elite. It is the most usable soldier of the Yuan Dynasty. Faced with the attack of the heroes, there is naturally a way to deal with it.
A stack of shields can block hidden weapons. And with a bent bow and an arrow, you can fight back, which is really amazing.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is not a mediocre person. If he had known that the Yuan people were good at riding and shooting, he would not have failed to take precautions. Preparations had been made as early as when the Shangxiabapan Pass was being built.
??The pass was built with boulders piled up, and trees were used as beams to seal the top. It was shaped like an inverted box, which could effectively prevent arrow attacks.
This point would never be thought of by anyone who has not read the Art of War and has been exposed to actual combat.
…
Seeing the Yuan soldiers holding their shields and shooting arrows upwards while attacking the mountain, Xiang Nan was not in a hurry, but ordered the heroes to fill up the gunpowder and prepare for the attack.
When the Yuan soldiers approached the pass, they were less than twenty meters away.
Xiang Nan gave the order "Light the fire!"
Just listen to boom, boom, boom, boom, several cannons rang out, sand and gravel flew, and flames rose into the sky. Hundreds of soldiers were hit by this round of artillery fire, leaving their limbs all over the ground and their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
?Seeing this scene, both Yuan soldiers and other heroes were shocked.
?Although all heroes are used to seeing life and death, such tragic scenes are not common. To be honest, fighting in the martial arts world is nothing compared to fighting on the battlefield.
Wulin fights involving more than 2,000 people are extremely rare. Most of them were just a group of hundreds, twenty or thirty people. On the battlefield, it is completely normal for hundreds of thousands of people to fight together.
It is much larger, crueler, and more shocking than a martial arts fight.
Seeing that the morale of the Yuan soldiers was low, 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 all the heroes saw him, they cheered, it was a small victory in the first battle.
