Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Moon

In addition to 80,000 foot soldiers, there are more than 10,000 cavalry troops gathered from all over the country, they have completed their task of harassment, and now they are facing a more difficult task, how to break through the Song army's military formation. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

What does Lee Ting-chi want to do? This is a big question lingering in Ta Chu's heart, he doesn't believe that the great exploits of the former will fall into such a simple, can be seen through at a glance of the trap, and it is perfect to his own surprise, originally ambushed in Mangdang Mountain, just want to wait for the Song army to go around the mountain, surprise attack one of them unprepared, but who would have thought, people directly into a pocket, shrunk into a ball.

From the perspective of the situation, more than 90,000 people surrounded the 100,000 Song army in the valley between Mangdang Mountain and the Yellow River, and the tower was placed at the mouth of the valley by two Han troops, and they had only one task, blocking the other party's way out, and the 60,000 Han army led by himself plus 10,000 Tanma Red Army was the main force of the attack.

"They're cooking in a pot!"

This valley is roughly high in the east and low in the west, but the height difference is not too obvious, it still looks flat, from his horse's head, you can easily see the movement of the Song army, his subordinates are right, the pillar or black or white light smoke, is not cooking smoke.

Are the Song people crazy? Cooking before the battle, not taking the peripheral enemies in your eyes, luring the enemy or ...... Anything else? Ta Chu stared at the enemy formation in the distance without saying a word, his eyesight was quite good, at a distance of two or three hundred paces, he could even see a large number of people behind the Song people's formation fetching water on the edge of the Yellow River, they were really cooking!

On the surface, except for the fact that there is no camp tent, everything is not much different from camping, and around the edge of the entire army array, is a circle of carts, which are used to transport grain and heavy weight, the kind that transports wounded soldiers, such a cart he is very familiar with, because it is used in the Yuan army, there are countless vehicles in Xuzhou City, it seems that the Song people have gained a lot all the way, at least the grain and grass are sufficient, when he thinks that this is all snatched from his jurisdiction, the tower out of the hatred itching, but the more so, the more he dare not despise.

He has been in Henan for many years, I don't know how many times he has confronted the Song people, and he has never encountered this situation, if Li Tingzhi is not crazy, he is doing this to let himself take the initiative to attack? The Song people are good at guarding, this is not difficult to understand, they are trapped in a Jedi, they are in a battle, there is no panic of being surrounded, this team is really different, but Ta Chu still doesn't understand a little, why is the other party sure that he will take the initiative to rush into battle, instead of waiting for them to break the siege?

The current situation is that the net has been completed, his army has blocked both ends of the river valley, and the Song people want to break through, either to hit the wall they have set up, or to retreat to the original way, or to run into the Mangdang Mountain in a panic, they can calmly deal with it, chase and kill, and achieve a relaxed and happy victory, as a qualified commander, they will naturally choose the most beneficial way of fighting, but this is exactly what he does not understand.

What if you weren't so eager to attack? The initiative is in hand, fight or retreat, when to fight is up to him, he doesn't believe that the Song people can keep shrinking here, but when his eyes stay again and again, Ta Chu always feels that something is wrong.

"How many Song people are here?"

This question suddenly asked, so that his subordinates looked at each other, an excellent spy, just by the eyes can see a rough idea, if it is more fine, they will confirm from the number of flags, if the gap is too obvious, will count, for a war of 100,000 this level, to achieve the last step, it is almost impossible, that is, Liu Yu's subordinates who have mastered the black technology, the same is not possible, they want to get a sufficient accurate number of people, they can only rely on people to pile up, several groups to do it in pieces, Finally, it will be summarized.

The prime minister's question could not be answered, and soon someone went to find the commander of the Tanma Red Army and Wanhu Ha, who was in charge of the detection affairs, and this person was the same as the tower, they were all Tang Wu people, and he answered without thinking about it: "More than 100,000." ”

"It's weird, this official always feels that there is something missing, when they invaded Xuzhou and sent troops to Bianliang, didn't they claim to be '500,000 people, sweeping Youyan?' ”

"The Song people are accustomed to bluffing, and there are also exaggerations and untruths."

Ta Chu was not satisfied with his subordinates' explanation, there must be something he had ignored here, and it was only when his fellow countryman who was a little stunned added a new situation that he let the people react.

"You mean, the Song people still have one way?" Tower's questioning forced him to reconfirm again, and the news he got was still a little unbelievable, in this case, they even divided their troops.

"Yes, according to the news found in Suzhou, when the Song people marched into Xuzhou, they were divided into two routes, and after they captured Bianliang, one of them was seen by the prime minister, and the number of people on the other road was not so much, about half of them were touched, but they never returned to the division." Ha prickly bald speaks with a big tongue, which makes it difficult to listen, but the general meaning is still very clear.

Ta out silently stared at the Song army formation in the distance, a little undecided, the reason why he did so many things is because the Song people are powerful, known as '500,000', how can there be a real number of more than 150,000, now that the other party has insufficient troops, his brain has to turn a few more turns, who knows if there will be fraud in this?

I have to say that Li Tingzhi's approach is indeed very similar to such a thing, he uses Xuzhou as bait to lure the other party to help, what if the other party uses himself as bait to lure him to fight? Good conspirators will think that the enemy is the same as him, and Ta Chu is no exception, and when he thinks about it, he suddenly shudders.

"Ha thorn bald, your cavalry immediately set off, along the Yongcheng, Xiayi, and Qianxian line search, they did not take the official road, most of them went around in a circle, no matter how they walked, they couldn't escape from these places, once there is news, come to report immediately, your people should try to hold them back, and the official allows you to act cheaply."

Ta De immediately decided, he was originally going to use this cavalry for pursuit, but now he can't take care of it, if the battle is in a scorching position, and a strange soldier suddenly appears on the flank, then everything he did before will become a joke, and only this cavalry can play a role in hindering.

"The herald ordered the Xuzhou Department to rush to Mangdang Mountain immediately, and it will not be before noon tomorrow, and the military law will be engaged." The second order was sent to Xuzhou, where the 30,000 men were supposed to be the last rope in the encirclement, but now that the situation had changed, his plans had to be changed accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, his tone became murderous, since the Song people wanted to divide the troops, he went the opposite way, Li Tingzhi stopped the army here, and it was useless to put 30,000 people in Xuzhou, and it was the most important thing to transfer them all and defeat the enemy in front of them.

As for the city of Xuzhou, it has never been put in the eyes of the tower from beginning to end, and it will not take much effort to get it back, and only the Song army in front of him is what he really values.

After a transfer of troops, and then look at the Song people's large array, the tower out of some new perceptions, from a high place, the whole large array presents an inverted semicircle, with an arc to protrude in front, the composition of this arc is countless carts, and the sergeants standing in the back, they occupy most of the river valley, back to the Yellow River, but it is the most suitable choice in this situation.

"It's ...... But the moon is in the moon! ”

The Song people like to put the formation is famous, no matter what the name of the formation can not cause the surprise of the tower, after the explanation of the Han scribe, only to know that this formation has been ancient, it is the best in the car formation, but the car is not the city wall after all, the determination has been decided, this candidate for breaking the formation, the tower out of the left and right looked left and right to see a person's body.

"Li Deqing."

"The end will be." General Xuanwei, Yidu Zilai New Army Wanhu, and Peijin Tiger Fu Li Heng replied.

"In the battle of Yangluo Fort, you went against the current first, shot the Song generals, and got the approval of the Great Khan himself, how is it today?"

"I am willing to break this formation for the prime minister!"

Li Heng took the order and left, and the tower gave him two Han army 10,000 troops, this was the first attack, he hoped to use this brave general to test the true strength of the Song people, so when another general around him wanted to say something, he was held down.

"Don't spend, don't be anxious, the war still has to be fought."

Almost at the same time, the war drums of the Song people and the horns of the Yuan people sounded together, Xu Wende, who had just eaten half of the cooking cake in his hand, quickly stood up, put the soup bowl on the ground, picked up the clairfront mirror handed over by his own soldiers, and looked into the distance from a big car in front of him.

"Fuck, so many people."

In his lens, there were large black shadows, countless Yuanren foot soldiers holding long knives and holding wooden cards were gradually approaching, the terrain of the Yuanren was slightly higher, it seemed that their momentum was more sufficient, they were very experienced, most of their bodies were shrunk behind the wooden cards, and their exposed feet moved extremely fast, which suddenly made Xu Wende's expression solemn.

...... I don't feel it at all.,I feel like I'm about to be unable to write.,This chapter is a little far away.,I'm trying to stay up late to make up for it.,I'm sorry everyone.。

The head of the spies couldn't help but say, and directly reported their speculation, as for whether people believe it or not, it is not something they can control.

In fact, their speculation is not wrong, as the only mountain group in the Huanghuai Plain, Mangdang Mountain is the best ambush place that Tachu can find, the mountainous area with a radius of more than 40 miles, hiding his army of 80,000, most of them are foot soldiers, and the cavalry is scattered along the line, carrying out uninterrupted raids, for this rumored Song strong army, he does not have a trace of contempt.

Because he knows that Boyan's talent is far above him, that is, Zuo Cheng instigated the capital, and he is also the best among the Yuan people, such people have been defeated in the hands of the other party, so the success of the victory is beyond doubt, for this reason, the moment Ta Chu received an urgent report from Henan and other places, he immediately made the decision to withdraw from the siege and return to the north, and did not even wait for the edict of the Great Khan.

The cavalry army that came out first immediately followed the line from Bianliang to Guide Mansion and stationed in various towns and villages, and under their cover, they almost completely concealed their tracks, at least they could also cover the main army, so that they could calmly enter the pre-set ambush ground, and the actions of the Xuzhou side were completely to hide people's eyes and ears.

"Is this where Han Gaozu slashed the snake?"

The main peak of Mangshan is not more than 100 steps high, in fact, it is a little more than the city wall, but the mountain is the mountain, it can be surprised, it is its biggest effect, at this time has been waiting here for several days Yuan people commander tower out, but also with great interest to visit the monuments.

"Legend is here, Qin Shi Huang often said, 'there is a son of heaven in the southeast', so because of the east travel disgusted, Gaozu is self-doubting, hidden, hidden in the Mangdang Mountain, the stone of leisure, in this mountain to meet the white snake, pull the sword and cut it, so the achievement of great things." A Han secretary pretended to drop his bookbag and explain it to him.

"Good place, sure enough, there is the intention of cutting snakes."

The tower out of the beard and laughed, everyone was suddenly enlightened, the Song army passed, is not the marching array, like a long snake, and they are like a sword out of the sheath, this battle has not yet started has harvested a good omen, naturally they are praised, sycophants do not want money to offer.

"Don't be careless, this snake is not another snake, and if you can't kill it, you will suffer from it."

"The prime minister said very much, we are the master, the Song people work on the expedition, we wait for the work, this is a defeat, the Song people do not know the practice, resist the heavenly soldiers, the day is not there, the second also, thousands of miles apart, the end can not care about each other, we are in danger, the location is advantageous, the third also, the people's will, the people hear the army to, eat the pot pulp, rejoice, this four also, there are these four victories, the enemy is in the palm of your hand, the prime minister is still humble, how not to make us ashamed."

Although it was a sycophant, it also slapped the heart of the tower, but on the surface, he still waved his hand again and again, and he had already completely accepted it in his heart, and what the other party said was everything he thought, in the case of the time, place, and people all occupied, and he didn't dare to be careless, if he still couldn't take the 100,000 Song army...... Of course, this is absolutely impossible, at least Tachu does not believe it.

"Marshal, the reconnaissance cavalry in front has reported that I have seen the dust and smoke of the enemy."

A news that they had been waiting for for a long time finally reached the mountain, and Ta Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that the Song people would not save him when they saw death, so that his plan would be in vain, as long as they could come, the plan would be half successful, but the superficial reserve was still necessary.

"Oh, do you know where they're going from?"

Mangdang Mountain is in the middle, you can take the official road, you can go around the foot of the mountain, Ta Chu asked, just to know the other side, I don't think that the Song people will choose another way, but I didn't expect that the answer of the person who came made him a little surprised.

"From the direction, it seems to be directly ahead of the official road."

For a while, he didn't know whether to say that the enemy was big, or that the art master was bold, the official road was sandwiched between the mountains and the Yellow River, once intercepted by himself, it was an extremely unfavorable situation, although the Yellow River was frozen, but it was not solid, a heavily armed Song foot soldier stepped on it, it must be the end of the fish belly, and the Song people were so anxious to rush back to Xuzhou?

"Each of them returns to the battle, acts according to the plan, and must annihilate them on the bank of the Yellow River, so that one person and one horse can escape!" Since the other party chose the terrain that was most beneficial to him, Ta Chu was also happy to accept this gift, and now his tone was not as cautious as before, but there was a kind of pride of ambition.

Facing the mountains and turning back to the water was originally a taboo in the march, but Li Tingzhi just did it, even if he received the news from the front, it was still the same.

From the foot of Mangdang Mountain to the shore of the Yellow River, only ten miles away, 100,000 troops immediately filled this area, when Li Tingzhi led the Chinese army into the river valley, the forward Xu Wende had not yet stepped out of the mountains and rivers, such a terrain, he had to be cautious, all the way to search forward, until he hit the front of the Tartar army formation.

At this moment, the sun was rising above the treetops, and the thin winter mist gradually dissipated, and it was found that all this was not by relying on the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, but by the whistle of the reconnaissance cavalry in front of him when he encountered the enemy, and the sharp whistling sound resounded through the river valley and the mountains, and when they completed the transformation from the alert formation to the battle formation, several war horses appeared in the field of vision carrying corpses full of arrows.

"Enemy attack!" Seeing all this, Xu Wende's blood went up in his head, the cold hairs on his body stood up, and the long knife in his hand drew a circle in the air and slashed down.

The cavalry behind him followed his instructions and slowly began to turn, and in front of them, one after another black and white flags were raised, and the well-organized military formation was like a wall, blocking the official road, stretching from the river bank to the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Just looking at it in the camera, Xu Wende knew that this wall was not something that his more than 3,000 horsemen could break through, Rulin's spear flashed a little golden light under the sun, approaching a distance of about 100 steps, and it was inserted into the dirt, the tip of the spear was diagonally forward, and in the vacant position, a crossbow arrow was exposed.

"Retreat!" He gave the order again, and the whole army turned sideways to the right, and made a great maneuver in the direction of Mangdang Mountain, leaving the previous valley before the first arrows fell.

Encountering the enemy on the road ahead confirmed the speculation of the spies before, Li Tingzhi was not surprised, long before Xu Wende returned, his army had already begun to act, and he smiled when he heard this: "It seems that we want to go together, and the infestation of the tower disappoints the prime minister." ”

"Do you suspect that the Yuan people are hiding their army here?"

"It is very likely that there are only more than 30,000 people in Xuzhou, although this road is nearly 300 miles long, but if you really want to hide tens of thousands of troops, you have to scatter them in countless villages, in that case, it will not play a role, and from the perspective of terrain, only here is the most suitable. Li Xiang's army returned to the division, no matter where it went around, it could not avoid these mountains, and when the time came, waiting for the opportunity to kill, it would definitely receive the effect of surprise soldiers. ”
