Chapter 155: Fighting Funiu Mountain

Funiu Mountain is located in the southwest of Henan Province, stretching 800 miles. It is connected to Qinling Mountain in the west, Huo Mountain in the east, Luocheng in the north, Han River in the south, Xionger Mountain in the north, and Xionger Mountain in the northwest. It is a very good geographical location. It is both a good hiding place and a good strategic base. If a base is established here, it will provide strong support to the army during the Northern Expedition. It is precisely from this point that Li Jun decided to lead the people into the mountains to develop.

To be honest, Li Jun is very unhappy to lead these people into the mountains. It will be very difficult after leading the people into the mountains, and life will be very difficult. It is not that Li Jun is afraid of suffering. Li Jun, a war hero, has never suffered any kind of suffering, so how could he care about this little suffering? It is because he has no place to live after entering the mountains and has no food. In addition, it is winter, there is ice and snow everywhere, and the north wind roars, blowing on his body like a knife. Funiu Mountain is the highest mountain range in Henan Province, and the temperature is even lower. You don’t need to think about how much of the suffering is.

However, Li Jun had no choice but to do it. If Li Jun let go, it goes without saying that the people would definitely be dead. When they returned to their hometown, they would definitely catch and hang the Mongolian army. The same was true for the people who returned spontaneously.

Li Jun could not do such a thing no matter what, and was determined to save them. He saved not many people, only a few hundred people, and in addition, he sent Niu Yuanhui and others to bring only a thousand people from other places, so the pitiful number of people could not fight against the Mongols at all.

If it were others, they would definitely not be able to deal with it. For Li Jun, he had a way of doing it, which others thought was impossible. After a brief look, Li Jun decided to go to Funiu Mountain and set up his base camp on Funiu Mountain. Although there were so many sufferings in entering the mountain, it was much better than waiting to die.

Li Jun is a visionary person. He foresaw that the Mongolian army would inevitably chase after him. The Mongolian army was best at destroying the destruction. Wherever they passed, they would inevitably be in ruins. They would definitely not let the people wherever they went. Li Jun fully utilized his strengths, "Liao made false statements", brought these people with them and went into the mountains together.

The peaks are towering, thousands of rocks compete, thousands of valleys are rugged, the forests are deep, the snow is covered with silver, and Funiu Mountain seems to be made of silver. The natural scenery of Funiu Mountain is extremely beautiful, and in today's terms, it is a good tourist destination. If it were in normal times, Li Jun would definitely enjoy the scenery with the mood of a poet. Now, he has no intention of browsing the beautiful mountains at all, because he wants to create opportunities for the people to survive.

Funiu Mountain is indeed a good place to hide, but when you first see it, there is no place to live or utensils for life. If you don’t deal with it, the word “frost and hunger” will cost many people’s lives.

"Niu Yuanhui, you go logging and building houses. Time is tight, so you don't have to be built in a normal manner. Just be able to shelter the wind and snow. Don't build a house on a mountain or on a hillside. The wind is strong and it will be very cold. Find a place with low terrain. Once it is built, arrange the elderly, children, women, and patients to live in. Young people with strong bodies, give in first, and finally move in." Li Jun assigned a task to Niu Yuanhui: "Look at this matter, handle it more flexibly."

Niu Yuanhui never expected that Li Jun would assign such an important task to him, and said happily: "Sir, please rest assured, I will do it well, I will do it well."

Niu Yuanhui looked like an honest farmer at first glance. In fact, he was quite talented and very clever in doing things. Li Jun was verified by his contact with the people who returned. He contacted the most common people, and was in the best mood, and most supported Li Jun's proposal to retreat to Funiu Mountain. Therefore, Li Jun assigned this task to him.

"Ding Datong, you take people to hunt. We have a lot of people and consume a lot of food. All you can eat can be hunted." Li Jun reminded a man in his forties: "Be careful of safety, and you must not have any accidents." Ding Datong is a hunter and is good at hunting, so Li Jun assigned the hunting mission to him.

If more than 10,000 people enter the mountain, they must first solve the problem of food and accommodation. They can live and eat, but they cannot make do with food. If a person does not eat, he will have to starve to death.

It was not without food. Li Jun took all the things he could take away. More than 10,000 people went into the mountain and brought about almost 10,000 kilograms of grain. However, for more than 10,000 kilograms of grain, it was impossible to withstand anything for more than 10,000 people. If you let go of your stomach, it would take only a few days to eat. Li Jun knew very well how dangerous the situation they were facing, and had to plan to send people to hunt as soon as they arrived in the mountains.

There are many birds and animals in Funiu Mountain. If you hunt well, it will be a good way to raise food. Of course, there is a difficulty, that is, hunting in the snow and ice, and the harvest may not be very good. In fact, hunting in winter has the benefits of hunting in winter. Many animals are hibernating, in today's terms, and will not run around. Experienced hunters will easily succeed, and the harvest will be even greater.

Li Jun said this very caringly, as if his relatives were giving advice. Ding Datong had never heard such easy-going advice in his life. He was very excited and said, "Sir, please rest assured. You don't have any other skills, and you still have a good hunting ability. Ding Datong promised him that he would never starve a fellow villager to death."

He is a hunter with extremely rich experience. He said such words with confidence. Li Jun felt relieved and said very approvingly: "Then I'll ask you all."

"Sir, just wait and see." Ding Datong waved his hand and set off with the hunting team.

Li Jun looked at Ding Datong and the others' backs until he could not see them, and said to a man in his fifties and sixties beside him: "Uncle Yao, I'll take you to log wood, make wooden nails and bamboo nails, and fill up the roads up the mountain. This matter involves the lives of more than 10,000 villagers, please give your attention."

It is very obvious that as soon as Li Jun and his friends settled in Funiu Mountain, the Mongolian army would come to suppress it immediately. If they were not prepared, the more than 10,000 people would be killed when the Mongolian army arrived. Li Jun decided to insert wooden nails and bamboo nails on several important passages up the mountain, and then accumulate some rolling wooden stones. If the Mongolians dared to come, they would definitely feel good.

The man's name is Yao Shouyi. He is a woodcutter in the mountains. He is very familiar with logging and has great experience. Naturally, he is the only thing he can do.

Yao Shouyi said excitedly: "Sir, I will do whatever you say, and there will be no problem." After a pause, he said: "I, Yao Shouyi, have lived for most of my life, and have been making cattle and horses for the Tartars. I have never lived a day of life. Now, sir, I will be a good person. Villagers, let's go!" He carried the axe and took the people there.

Under the Mongolian iron hooves, he was not the only one who made cows and horses. Li Jun sighed at his excited words and reminded him: "You must be careful and come back safely."

"Sir, please rest assured." Yao Shouyi's voice came from afar.

After arranging these things that must be arranged, Li Jun walked forward and came to a mountain depression where more than a thousand strong men gathered here, practicing assassination and fighting under the command of more than a dozen guards. They will be the patron saints of this peasant team, and they will use their lives and blood to defend the lives of more than 10,000 ordinary people.

Li Jun was born with a skill. His words were exciting. After selecting these people, Li Jun gave them a lecture. After listening to Li Jun's lecture, everyone was excited and wanted to fight to the death with the Mongolians. He practiced fighting skills very hard. Even in the middle of winter, everyone was sweating and their foreheads were steaming, like a big steamer.

Li Jun was very satisfied with their performance and kept nodding. However, the only drawback was that the weapons in their hands were really unsightly because they were holding wooden sticks, which had just been cut off, and kept oozing out of water.

They were farmers and had no weapons at all. The matter was hasty. Even if Li Jun had the ability to penetrate the sky and earth, he could not transform weapons like magic, so he had to ask them to cut down some wooden sticks as weapons.

Under Li Jun's clever deployment and the joint efforts of the people, after a few days, nearly 200 houses were built, with a few people, a dozen or even dozens of people crowded together and living together. Li Jun arranged the elderly, children, women and patients first, and could only barely enough. That's how Li Jun felt much more relieved.

Seeing that the weather was about to change again and it was about to snow, Li Jun had no choice but to send someone to find the cave. Except for those who had to concentrate, such as those who were trained, they all scattered and asked them to live in the cave. The cave was dark and humid, and it was not suitable for living at all, but it was really unimaginable that Li Jun had to come up with this bad plan. Otherwise, if there was a snow, I still didn't know how many people would freeze to death.

Of course, Li Jun set up disciplines for them to abide by them. These disciplines are mainly not to go down the mountain, and those who go down the mountain will definitely be more important. The reason is very simple. The conditions on the mountain are very difficult, and it is inevitable that someone can't stand it. If you want to take the risk of going down the mountain, maybe you will catch it by the Mongols, and the situation on the mountain will be known to the Mongols. That would be extremely unfavorable to Li Jun.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping down the mountain, Li Jun sent people to guard the important roads everywhere, and the leaders were all guards. They not only had strong military qualities, but also absolutely loyal and very reliable. It’s not that Li Jun doesn’t believe in the people, this is a practice and has to be guarded.

The hunting team has gained a lot, and they can catch a large number of birds and animals every day, no less than four or five thousand kilograms. There are two main reasons for such a result. One is that Ding Datong is rich in experience. The hunting team he led is composed of people with hunting experience. It is natural to be easy to hunt.

Another reason is that there are quite a few wild beasts in Funiu Mountain. The altitude of Funiu Mountain is high, and few people have arrived all year round. The wild beasts here have never competed with hunters. It is really a fool. There is still a reason to be unlucky when they meet the experienced Ding Datong and others.

Although the harvest is large, it is even more costly. Four or five thousand pounds are not enough to fill the gap between the teeth of more than 10,000 people. After Li Jun measured it, he ordered that all of them were supplied in a quantitative manner, except for the elderly, children, patients, young and middle-aged people who were trained, as well as those who had to do heavy work.

In order to best implement this measure, Li Jun set an example and his food supply was only half of the quantitative. With Li Jun's example, others were not able to say anything, so they could only accept the fact that quantitative was needed.

A long time later, Li Jun recalled this difficult time and commented: "It was the support of the villagers that quantitative measures were implemented. We survived this difficult time and contributed to the growth of the team."

The Mongolian army responded quickly enough. Less than ten days after Li Jun and his friends entered the mountain, a Mongolian army of 3,000 people rushed to the foot of Funiu Mountain and prepared to launch an attack on Funiu Mountain and eliminate the people on the mountain in one fell swoop.

If Li Jun hadn't had it been for Li Jun's clever plan, creating illusions, confusing them, and chasing them south with his nose, they would have arrived long ago, and Li Jun would have never been able to enter the mountain.

Luntoba is the commander of this Mongolian army. He rode on a tall horse and looked at the clouds and mist. He said disdainfully: "Damn it, the Nanman has turned into a rabbit, and he actually ran to the mountain to hide. Not to mention anything else, as long as I surround the mountain and don't attack, they will starve to death if they are frozen to death."

He was right. The current situation really hurts Li Jun. After a long time, Li Jun recalled this time and said: "I have never been so worried. Even when the Lin'an defense battle and when I need money the most, I have never been so anxious. What I worry most is that the Mongolians adopted the strategy of siege, because in the snow and ice, we rarely have food except hunting."

If Lundoba really did what he said and adopted a siege strategy, Li Jun would be in great trouble, but Li Jun would not be able to do anything. He had already thought of a solution, that is, if the Mongols really surrounded the mountains and could not pass, he would lead the people west from Funiu Mountain, because Funiu Mountain was close to the Qinling Mountains to the west and was close to Hanzhong.

Jie Jin is sweeping Hanzhong, and Li Jun will definitely get his support when he goes west, so the problem will be much easier.

Rontoba was just talking. He had no intention of surrounding the mountain. He sprayed a breath of heat from his big mouth and sneered: "I don't have time to go to them, pass on my orders and prepare to go up the mountain."

If he would surround the mountain without fighting, no matter whether his boss would cause trouble for him, whether he would scold him for being bloody, or remove his power, he would not be able to stand his self-esteem. The reason is very simple. The Mongolian army has never encountered such a large-scale resistance to Mongolian rule by the people of the Central Plains. For Luntoba, these ordinary people are similar to rabbits. When they see their shadows, they will be scared to the ground, and they will not be able to attack.

After ordering, the Mongolian army began to attack the mountain.

Funiu Mountain has a dangerous terrain and narrow roads, so it is not suitable for cavalry attacks. Not long after entering the mountain, the cavalry could not move. Lundoba ordered the Mongolian cavalry to dismount and prepare to abandon the horse and fight in the field. He thought that the Mongolian army had enough armed forces, had rich combat experience, and had the most experience in bullying the people. Even if there was no horse, they could win the battle, so they didn't take it seriously.

Under the supervision of Luntoba, the Mongolian army followed the mountain road to the mountain. The mountain road was too narrow, and the Mongolian army could only go up the mountain one by one. From the top of the mountain, it looked like a long dragon, winding and twisting, and twisting.

The Mongolian army was advancing very smoothly. No one was seen until halfway up the mountain. Not to mention the figure, no ghost was seen.

Rontoba jumped onto a protruding stone and shouted: "Hurry, hurry up, cheer me up and run faster. There are many young girls with white skin on the mountain, and whoever catches them will be."

The two favorite things that Mongolians like most are riding on horseback and the other is sleeping on women's chest. Women are their favorites. The order from Rondoba is like saying that you can do whatever you want. For Mongolian soldiers, this is too tempting. They are all energetic and shouted: "Stop up the mountain and catch the little girls alive!" Suddenly, their legs were strong and rushed faster than rabbits.

Thousands of people yelled together, and the sound was loud, as if they were thunderous, shaking the mountains and valleys, and thousands of peaks and valleys were shaking.

Rontoba looked at the Mongolian army with great energy, and was very proud of his wonderful ideas, and took a big step and rushed up the mountain. The excited Rontoba had no idea who his opponent was. If he knew that his opponent was Li Jun, who gave Kublai Khan a headache, he would definitely not be so excited.

"This Tartar is so arrogant that he puts the army together, but also sets up a long snake formation." Li Jun stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the Mongolian army climbing up the mountain, and commented very disdainfully.

Li Jun is right. In such an attack on the mountain, the army must not be placed in one direction. The reason is very simple. If the enemy blocks the mountain, he will be defeated if he suffers a setback. Put the army in several directions and attacks the mountain, and the chances of winning are much greater. The reason why Rontoba arranged this way was that he did not take the people seriously at all.

Besides, placing a long snake formation like this is also a taboo for military strategists. Not to mention that such troops are used in such a very unfavorable and dangerous terrain, it is not enough to place a long snake formation on the plain. As long as the opponent sends troops to attract one end and one tail, then concentrates his forces to attack the middle, and cuts it into two sections, and does not echo the front and back, it will be defeated. (Note: According to my opinion, there is no military common sense at all.)

Li Jun watched the Mongolian army climbing the mountain calmly and did not react at all. However, the reactions of the Ding Zhuang beside him were not as calm as his. They were very nervous, holding the wooden sticks in their hands tightly, so nervous that sweat was pouring out of their palms, and even sweat appeared on their foreheads.

The most nervous reaction was a bit exaggerated. A Ding Zhuang was so nervous that he wanted to scream. He reasonably told him not to scream, so he had to grab a piece of snow and stuff it into his mouth, blocking his mouth. He couldn't scream anymore.

The recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time all had this reaction and were very nervous. Li Jun was also nervous when he first worked with the Americans and understood their reaction very well.

Niu Yuanhui held the wooden stick and said to Li Jun: "Sir, let's fuck him!"

"No, wait a little longer, wait until they get closer before talking." Li Jun said leisurely, his tone was very calm, as if this was not on the battlefield, but was talking to people.

Niu Yuanhui said worriedly: "If the Tartars are too close, we may not..." He did not say the following words, and he understood the meaning very clearly, which was extremely unfavorable to them and they may not be able to beat them.

This is the truth. Ding Zhuang has only been training for a few days. Although he is hardworking, it is far from the regular Mongolian army. If the Mongolian army is approaching, they will naturally suffer the loss when they fight.
