Although the North Mountain is low, it is surrounded by steep straight walls on all sides. It is similar to the situation of the Western Mountain here. It is nearly four feet high and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, the table above is actually not big, only enough to accommodate a few hundred people.

It’s useless for us to go up, because there is no place to stand with so many people. I guess that’s why Shanda people proposed to occupy Nanshan.”

After he finished speaking, he looked back and nodded, stroking his belly.

Wu Mao continued: "The Mayan River winds along the mountain. In fact, there is a western mountain here, but it is only a few feet higher than the stream, so it is not dangerous.

There are three or two families on it, and they have several vegetable plots where they grow taro by the river.

There is a small road at Liantang behind Xishan Mountain, which branches off from the official road. Then it follows the river and passes under Xishan Mountain to the northeast. There is a wooden plank bridge across the river. After crossing the bridge, you will reach the sunny slope of Nanshan Mountain.

Your Majesty and Defense want to occupy Nanshan, and it is easy to be discovered if you take the official road. I suggest you take this path behind the west mountain to catch surprise!"

"How far is it from Banqiao to the top of the mountain?" Zhou Qin asked.

"It's less than a mile!" Wu Mao added: "After reaching the north slope, there is a large stone on your right hand, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and the four characters 'Lai Fengtian Peak' are engraved on it.

Three hundred steps up the stone path next to it is Laifeng Pavilion." After hearing this, everyone started talking quietly.

"Brother Maocai said it very clearly. But I have a worry. Since Nanshan is an important place for guarding, it is not stupid to be afraid of the enemy.

He may have sent a few men to Lai Feng Pavilion, and I advise you to be careful with your defenses!" Master Ba said.

"It makes sense." Mr. Sheng nodded to Li Dan: "So you must be careful during your actions. Don't let the enemy spy on the truth. It would be bad if you find out the clues!"

"If this is the case, the team can only go so far." Wu Mao took another bowl and held it down:

"Suppose this is the West Mountain. Its south side protrudes slightly, and above it is the Dragon King Temple built in Dongyan Village.

The brigade must stop when it reaches this point, because if it goes further it will go around the foot of the mountain without any cover. If there is a lookout post on Laifeng Pavilion, he will find it."

"Okay, let's make a plan!" Li Dan stood up, and everyone stood up when they saw it.

"Gentlemen, the Yousanjiang tribe has been wiped out this morning. They were originally going to cooperate in the attack on Fengqiguan.

If the enemy troops wait for Yu Sanjiang to arrive, they will become suspicious, so we should take action sooner rather than later!

I am assigning tasks now. If you have any questions, please come to me after the meeting. Brother Maocai, Mr. Master Ba, please pay attention carefully to see if there are any omissions in what I said.

We will mobilize our entire army tonight according to Sheng Sheng's strategy and pounce on us with lightning speed!

First, we asked our brothers who have good eyesight at night to pull the animals. We used horse-drawn carriages and animals to pull the team to the lotus pond, where we put down Lin Baihu first.

Shanda people, since there are not many places to stand on the mountain, I suggest that Lin Baihu take the hundreds of officers and soldiers who can travel at night to reinforce Beishan.

The rest of us turned up the path to the southern foot of the Western Mountain. We first occupied the Western Mountain as our base and stored the food at the Dragon King Temple;

Send two teams to attack Nanshan. One team will be responsible for searching to ensure that everything is safe and then quickly send a warning to the direction of the enemy camp. The other team will go up the mountain to capture Feng Pavilion."

"Zhang Bo, Xianfu (Zhao Jingzi), you two take our team to Laifeng Pavilion!" Li Dan ordered, and the two of them were overjoyed.

"After capturing Feng Pavilion, immediately use lights to send back signals, two short and one long."

"Gu Da and Yang Yi led their troops to search the entire mountain to confirm whether it was safe, and then went west to alert the enemy. The firecrackers team and the archery team followed them to occupy a favorable position and provide cover at any time.

A team of Lao Song followed up and came up to Fengge to strengthen the defense on the top of the mountain.

If everything goes well and it starts to get light, Shanda people will lead the army forward to defend on the north slope.

Two hundred people from the fourth team of the rear camp followed up and sealed the road up the north slope with bamboo fences, pits and bamboo sticks. Be careful to bring digging tools and don't make too much noise."

Then Li Dan thought about it and pointed with his finger between Nanshan Mountain and Xishan Mountain and asked: "I wonder if this bridge can withstand large vehicles?"

"Usually a pallet truck can carry two or three stones, but it's hard to say if it's more." Wu Mao replied.

Li Dan nodded and continued: "Okay, the remaining 100 people from the rear camp will guard Banqiao and wait for instructions and make preparations to send reinforcements to the mountain at any time.

Xishan is the backup for Fengqiguan and must be defended.

Ma Jiuye led the escort team to occupy the west mountain and set up a warning. The left camp set up a large camp with the Dragon King Temple as the core, and planned to build facilities to shelter from the wind and rain to accommodate baggage, livestock and the wounded.

The Right Camp is responsible for transporting prisoners and other supplies to the Xishan Camp. Does anyone have questions?"
