The breeze rises, and the thin clouds rise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 20,000 elites of the Mengwu army marched eastward along the foot of the southern foot of Yaoshan overnight, but the strong aura of slaughter was slightly contrary to the growth of all things in spring.

Along the way, although there were demon vultures flying high into the clouds, staring at the grass and trees within a radius of hundreds of miles in the sky, and the demon pupil people sitting in the bronze chariot, they could almost distinguish the subtle breath of an ant mixed into the queue, but Meng Zhan still took the trouble to send more scouts, repeatedly confirming the position of the two vanguard alliances of the Keree and Tuoba tribes and the distance from them.

There are less than 50,000 soldiers left in the Monghurs, and they can't afford to suffer heavy casualties.

The army stopped in front of a low ridge at the southern foot of Silverstone Beach and Yaoshan Mountain to rest, and Meng Zhan took Tie Kun and other generals who rushed over to converge, surrounded by hundreds of horsemen, and galloped into the battlefield of Silverpebble Beach where yesterday's bloody battle was fought, wanting to take a look at the signs left after yesterday's bloody battle.

Yesterday, because of the fear that the Mongol War led the Mongol troops to come to help, after Tuoba Yan and Zuo Vulture hurriedly retreated, no one sent troops and horses back to clean up the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, after a night of shelf, hundreds of thousands, fat as fox roe deer crows, smelling the smell of death, have rushed to enjoy the gluttonous feast, only one night, at this time, most of the corpses of the Creebe soldiers who were stripped of their clothes and armor after the battle were killed, have turned into white bones, making the battlefield on the west bank of Silverpebble Beach like a hell of bones.

Meng Zhan, Tie Kun and hundreds of others rode over, and the crows flew up like dark clouds, drifting into the distance.

There are also some late demon crows, who are unwilling to run in vain, and are still pacing in the white bone bushes, carefully pecking off the residual flesh in the cracks of the bones, and not afraid of Meng Zhan, Tie Kun and others coming.

"Tie Kun, you will fight yesterday again, and tell me carefully. Meng Zhan clasped his hands, frowned at the wretched battlefield on the west bank of Silverpebble Beach, and leaned sideways to say to Tie Kun.

The many barbarian generals behind Meng Zhan, when they met just now, they listened to Tie Kun's description of yesterday's bloody battle, and thought that Tie Kun was boasting about his achievements, and he had a lot of disdain in his heart, and he didn't listen seriously.

Tie Kun reluctantly recounted the details of the First World War, and this time, because of the detailed questions of Meng Zhan, he took the trouble to repeat it again from the harassment and lure of the early pursuit battle, to the crossing of the river and the half-crossing attack, the control of the time point, the focus of the troops, etc.

The details that Meng Zhan inserted from time to time were also straight to the point, which made Tie Kun admire this veteran who had been in Hanhai for a hundred years, and there were indeed not simple places.

When Tie Kun recounted the whole battle again, Meng Zhan and several generals couldn't help but admire, the battle of the Iron Cliff Department yesterday was not a fluke, but a real, with superb command skills, won an exciting victory.

In the grasslands along the coast of the Hanhai Sea, there is no large terrain barrier, it is difficult to have room for strategy, the hostile tribes are usually straightforward to kill and kill, all the tribes like to crush the weak enemy with absolute strength, the weak either surrender or flee, occasionally there are sneak attacks or small means such as attacking the enemy to save, but it has never been the mainstream of inter-tribal warfare on the grassland.

And because the grassland is extremely vast, the cavalry-based tribal soldiers are better at long-distance, rapid movement, interspersed combat, and the application of battle formations in the situation battlefield is direct and rude, and there are not so many skills to pay attention to, but the command skills and control of the local battlefield shown by Tie Kun in the Battle of Silver Pebble Beach seem to open the door for everyone to step into the new world.

*************************

Although the vanguard of the Tuoba and Kereb tribes lost their armor at Silverpebble Beach and suffered more than 2,000 casualties, they did not withdraw there, and the Mongolian war had no intention of rushing forward for the time being, so they set up a large camp on the west bank of Silverpebble Beach.

It soon darkened, and the starry bonfires lit up the prairie and the stars in the sky.

There was occasional laughter in the whole camp, but it was immediately stopped, everything was so orderly, and the strictness of the army in the war can be seen.

Meng Zhan is a pragmatist, there is no decoration in his big tent of the Chinese army, and the generals are all sitting on the ground in animal skins, listening to the details of Meng Zhan's arrangements for tomorrow's battle.

"Tomorrow, if we can sweep away the vanguard soldiers of the Kereh Department and the Tuoba Department with a thunderous momentum, the follow-up reinforcements of the two divisions will inevitably advance cautiously and cautiously; now the excavation of the underground palace has reached a critical point, and there is no room for failure, so I hope that the generals will work hard to beat the enemy army to the cold first, which will also buy more time for the arrival of the Khanate's reinforcements. Meng Zhan hammered the long case hard and ended his speech.

Looking at the generals who responded one after another, Meng Zhan's heart was cold.

He said extremely categorically and impassionedly on the surface, but he was not at all steady, and there were more and more signs that when the Khan King explored the ruins of the underground palace, he was not lightly injured, and even if the Khan King Mu Hao was not injured, Mu Ke, the old thief, would never have any good intentions for the Mughul tribe when he presided over the overall situation of Black Rock City.

If they can successfully dig out the Great Inheritance Array from the ancient ruins under the Yao Mountain, Mu Ke does not want the Great Inheritance Array to fall into the hands of enemy tribes such as the Kelie Department and the Tuoba Tribe, and may send troops to help, but if the excavation of the underground palace does not progress for a long time, the continuation of the Mengwu tribe for hundreds of years may come to an end.

Because it is very likely that Mu Ke's reinforcements will not appear until the alliance between the Kereh and Tuoba tribes is split due to the competition for ancient ruins.

Tie Kun saw Meng Zhan saying inspiring words, but his brows were always locked, knowing that Meng Zhan was not optimistic about the future, and the shadow in his heart became deeper.

After the discussion, Tie Kun walked out of the big tent and saw Chen Hai and Yao Wenjin as his entourage, standing outside the big tent and looking up at Liao Kuo's starry sky, he didn't say anything at the time, and only when he returned to the camp of the two thousand wolf riders did he let Chen Hai follow him to the tent to talk.

"I was discussing in the big tent just now, and Zuo Gong's plan, Cao Gong should have heard it outside the big tent - I don't know what Cao Gong can teach me?" Tie Kun invited Chen Hai to sit down next to him this time, leaning over to ask for advice.

Hearing that the titles had changed, Chen Hai smiled in his heart and said:

"If Meng Zhan is determined to eat the enemy's advance at the cost of casualties, he should cross the Silver Pebble Beach in one go, and storm the enemy's camp at night, so as not to give the enemy a chance to breathe and strengthen the defensive line, but it's a pity that Mengzhan's determination is too unfirm -- Tie Ye asked for advice overnight, I believe he also felt this......

"......," Tie Kun sighed lightly and said, "The losses of the Mengwu in Tongkou are too heavy to bear even greater losses. ”

"The enemy general has also seen through the hole cards of Mengzhan, there is no way to fight this battle......" Chen Hai shrugged and smiled, the main general did not have the will of iron, hesitated, he was not optimistic about tomorrow's battle, even if the strength of the Mengwu Department was slightly superior, but he was not optimistic at all, and said.

"How?"

"Before, the forward alliance of the two clans of the Keree Department and the Tuoba Tribe, although there were many mistakes, but they did not show too many flaws, especially yesterday when our department had been in a series of bloody battles and people were sleepy, Tuoba Yan led troops to help, and did not try to cross the river to eat us, which shows that Tuoba Yan is also stable in his use of troops, but such a steady general, in the face of the superior strength of the Mengwu Army, did not think of temporarily retreating to the depths of the grassland, but camped on the east bank of Silverstone Beach, isn't it just that he does not dare to fight a tough battle in the Mongolian War?"

Tie Kun smiled bitterly, and realized that there was really no way to fight tomorrow.

Chen Hai continued: "Tomorrow's battle, can't fight, the attack is slightly frustrated, Meng Zhan may choose to retreat, but tomorrow don't have to worry about a big defeat, the real headache is how to fight after the Meng Zhan's hole cards are completely seen through." After all, the Khan King may return to Blackstone City from his ancestral land at any time to regain power, and if he can dig out the ancient relics from the underground palace, it is impossible for King Zuo to let the ancient relics fall into the hands of the enemy, but the Iron Cliff tribe must follow the Mengwu tribe, and bet that these two points will be realized?"

"According to Cao Gong's view, how is the Iron Cliff Department good?" Tie Kun asked.

"No matter how many enemy reinforcements come, all the combat strength of the Mengwu Department has completely shrunk back to the western foot of Yaoshan Mountain, which is not the best policy, no matter how bad it is, build another defensive line at the southern foot of Yaoshan to contain the enemy's flank, so that it cannot attack the western foot of Yaoshan with all its might...... The Iron Cliff Department should fight for this errand. ”

"There may be nearly 100,000 follow-up reinforcements from the Keree Department and the Tuoba Department, and the 2,000 war cavalry of the Iron Cliff Department are hanging alone, what can they do? Tie Kun sighed and said.

Chen Hai smiled and said: "Meng Zhan guards the western foothills, Tie Ye guards the southern foothills, and the two armies can be connected to each other through the valley road in the middle of Yaoshan Mountain, which is not considered to be alone." The soldiers of the Iron Cliff Department are small, and they have already occupied the terrain according to the danger, and in addition, the clansmen and slaves can be armed to resist the onslaught of the enemy, who said that there are only two thousand war horses available?"

"Armed slave?" Tie Kun's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated.

The 30,000 tribesmen of the Iron Cliff Department, after deducting the old and weak women and children, all the adult males were sent to the battlefield to be armed, and 10,000 troops were available, but at this time, the number of Terran slaves at the western foot of Yaoshan Mountain was too much, just arm these slaves and fight back against the Iron Cliff Department in the process of defense.
