Chapter 1300: Old Dragon Pond at the foot of Liupan Mountain

"Report ...... Qi Qi lord, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan and Mongolian tribes are pouring into the nest, and they are all gathering towards Pingluo County......"

Qin Hao showed such an expression, and said with a smile: "It seems that Temujin has also realized the weakness of Yuanmeng's iron cavalry that is not good at defending the city, he knows that defending it will only become more and more passive, so he must concentrate his forces to encircle and annihilate our army outside Pingluo City, it seems that this Pingluo County may not be able to attack." ”

Wang Meng also laughed and said, "Lord, this is a good thing, although we successfully conquered Guyuan County before, we also lost 8,000 troops.

If we continue to attack Pingluo County, the loss of troops will never be less than that of Guyuan County, and before the decisive battle, the greater the loss of our troops, the lower the victory rate of the decisive battle.

The battle situation in Ningxia is now in the current situation, and the hundreds of thousands of stones and grass in Pingluo County have long been irrelevant to the overall situation, and what we have to consider next should be a decisive battle. ”

Qin Hao nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true, many calculations before, just for this last moment, Hao naturally will not be careless."

Where is Jiang Yu? ”

"The end will be." Jiang Yu stood up.

"The order went down, stopped moving towards Pingluo County, and turned to advance in the direction of Liupan Mountain.

In addition, he sent a war letter to Temujin again, saying that Bengong would fight with him in front of the old dragon pool of Liupan Mountain. ”

"No."

Although the land of the three counties of Hetao is mainly plain, there are also many peaks, such as: Liupan Mountain, Helan Mountain, Sumeru Mountain, Yunwu Mountain, Tiandu Mountain, etc.

It's just that because of the large spacing between these mountains, the terrain is not too dangerous, and it is difficult to play a role in defending against the enemy, of course, Helan Mountain and Liupan Mountain are exceptions.

When he and Murong Ke attacked Ningxia County before, Wang Meng not only held Ningxia City, but also blocked the terrain of Helan Mountain, making it difficult for Murong Ke's military advantage to be brought into play.

Liupan Mountain is also known as Longshan, the main peak is in the territory of Guyuan and Longde counties in Ningxia, the altitude is 2928 meters, the mountain is roughly north-south direction, about 240 kilometers long, it is the boundary mountain of the Loess Plateau of northern Shaanxi and the Loess Plateau of Longxi, and the watershed of Wei River and Jing River, twists and turns are steep.

Liupan Mountain, to the ancient Pandao six times to reach the top of the mountain, hence the name, the southeast of the mountain hangs down the old Longtan victory, is one of the sources of Jingshui.

The reason why Qin Hao chose the decisive battle location in the old Longtan of Liupan Mountain was not only because Liupan Mountain was the closest to his position, but also because this was a decisive battle location that was beneficial to both sides, and it would be here to reassure the suspicious Tiemu Zhenzhen.

"My lord, in the next decisive battle, the catapult and the well will not be used, and it is not convenient to bring it, and it will slow down the march." Xue Rengui said.

Qin Hao nodded, and after a little contemplation, he said decisively: "Then burn it on the spot." ”

"Huh?"

Xue Rengui didn't expect his own lord's guild to be such a loser, his eyes widened and said: "Lord, that's hundreds of catapults, the cost of each one is not low, and the manufacturing cycle is not short, it's a pity to destroy it." ”

"So what do you say? Leave it to Temujin? ”

Qin Hao asked rhetorically, Xue Rengui was speechless, these catapults were siege weapons before, but now they have become a drag on the decisive battle of the Han army.

"The most important thing for us now is to defeat Temujin, it's just a hundred catapults, and my father will still lose it, so it's a big deal to build it in the future."

Qin Hao said with a nonchalant expression, in fact, his heart was also distressed to death, but in order to ensure the final victory, he was still willing to pay this price.

Xue Rengui was still reluctant, and persuaded: "My lord, according to the opinion of the general, it is better to disassemble the catapult and bury it in a secret place in place, and after defeating Temujin, we can dig it out and use it again." ”

Qin Hao couldn't help but be stunned, he had already put his whole heart on the decisive battle, but he didn't realize this method.

"Give you 5,000 cavalry, be sure to finish it in half a day, and then catch up with the main army."

"No."

On the other hand, after receiving Qin Hao's third letter of war, this time Temujin did not waver due to unknown dangers, but decisively chose to fight Qin Hao to the death.

He is the one with absolute strength, and in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery is futile, so no matter what Qin Hao's calculations, Temujin only needs to see the move.

"Liupan Mountain? Old Dragon Pond? ”

After seeing these two place names, Temujin couldn't help but chuckle: "Does Qin Hao want to follow Xiang Yu and Han Xin and have a fight with my Dayuan?"

I don't know where this Qin Hao got his confidence, do you really think that if you rely on the water and the fire bull formation, you can defeat my 240,000 elite horses with 140,000 steps? It's naïve. ”

Speaking of this, Temujin stretched out his hand and pointed at the envoy of the Han army, and said lightly: "You go back and tell Qin Hao that after noon tomorrow, you will not see you or disperse." ”

"Yes."

After the envoy left, Yang Shilang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why did Qin Hao choose the old dragon pond of Liupan Mountain?" Liupan Mountain is majestic and steep, only a few dozen flats in front of the old dragon pond, which are very suitable for cavalry combat, will there be fraud in this? ”

"Could it be that Qin Hao wants to use the old dragon pond to make a plan for flooding?"

Wo Kotai stood up and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hao used the water attack strategy at the beginning, and he dug up the Han water to defeat Xiang Yu, does he want to repeat the old trick?" ”

Yang Shilang looked at the eye socket and the platform as if he was mentally retarded, and the nest and platform he saw were a little inexplicable, and the superior Temujin explained: "The old dragon pond is just a pool of water, the water area and water flow of the pool are not large, and the deepest part is only two zhang, so it is absolutely impossible to carry out water attack." ”

Wo Kotai couldn't help but blush, he was not familiar with the terrain of the Hetao, and it was just a flash of inspiration just now, so he directly mentioned it without much thought, but he didn't expect it to be an impossible way to implement it.

Wo Kotai, who felt that he had lost face, had no face to continue talking, so he had to retreat silently.

"You don't have to worry too much, you know, my Dayuan has 240,000 iron horses, and Qin Hao only has 140,000 steps, so the person who should be worried should be him Qin Hao."

Temujin looked at the generals under the hall and said in a deep voice: "Liupan Mountain, Old Dragon Pond, there is no problem with this location, Qin Hao is ......difficult to cheat even if he wants to."

On the same day, the 240,000 iron cavalry of Yuan and Mongolia were assembled in Pingluo County, and then all of them went to Liupan Mountain under the command of Temujin.

At noon the next day, under the leadership of Temujin, 240,000 iron horsemen arrived thirty miles outside the old dragon pool, and Qin Hao also set up a formation five miles away from the old dragon pool, patiently waiting for the countdown to the most waiting decisive battle.
