Chapter 1285: Treacherous
Chapter 1285: Treacherous
After a short discussion, it was finally decided that Zhuge Liang, Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng would lead 30,000 cavalry to carry out the final core task.
Huo Quzhi, Long Ji, Ran Min, Luo Yi, and Xiang Yu led 21,000 cavalry, carried all the banners, disguised themselves as the army out of the Sai to kill in Mobei, and continued to implement the scorched earth tactics, while attracting Murong Ke's attention.
When Xiang Yu learned that Long He was going to continue to go out with Huo Quai, he also asked Zhuge Liang to go with him, Zhuge Liang agreed without thinking about it, after all, there was a big master of Xiang Yu's level, and Huo Quai's trip would be relatively safe.
In order to ensure the safety of Huo Quai's trip, Zhuge Liang handed over all the cavalry materials such as bows, crossbows, arrows, and javelins in his army to Huo Quzhi, after all, the most important thing in cavalry combat is arrows.
The preparations before the army went out of the fortress were also very sufficient, and eight million feather arrows were prepared, and it took 1,600 carriages to carry them, and this directly emptied the Jinyang armory.
But even if so many arrows are prepared, it is still not enough, because Zhuge Liang does not know how many battles he will fight, and the consumption rate of arrows is very fast, so the Han army will recover arrows after every battle before.
But even if the Han army collected arrows while fighting, the total number of arrows of the Han army continued to decline, and now there are less than four million left.
Zhuge Liang gave Huo Qubing all four million arrows to ensure that he had enough arrows to use, and also gave 21,000 cavalry to the north, all of which were equipped with the luxurious configuration of one person and four horsemen.
Of course, these war horses were all captured from Yuanmeng, after all, they slaughtered more than a dozen tribes in Yuanmeng in a row, as well as the 150,000 cavalry that defeated Huchuquan, and now the most important thing for the army out of the fortress is war horses.
In addition, Zhuge Liang also gave Huo Qubing 10,000 pairs of armor, so that everyone in the soldiers who went north to Mobei had armor to wear.
Zhuge Liang stuffed three-quarters of the army's supplies to the northbound army, as if he was unarmed to the teeth, but even this only increased their survival rate, not to ensure that they could all come back alive.

Outside the Dragon City.
When he learned that Hu Chuquan not only fought without authorization, but was also defeated by the Han army, and the 150,000 army lost 130,000, Murong Ke couldn't sit still anymore, and directly left the army and rushed back to Longcheng first.
Looking at the Jingguan outside the city, a trace of thought flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, no wonder Hu Chuquan couldn't help it, this time Zhuge Liang was too vicious.
"Someone will destroy this Jingguan, and all the bones will be buried in a place." Murong Ke ordered.
"No."
Subsequently, Murong Ke entered the city with a cadre of guards, and saw Tuo Lei and the Manchu civil and military forces of the Yuanmeng court at the first time.
At this time, the ministers of Yuan and Mongolia were not as aggressive as before, most of them bowed their heads and did not speak, while a small number of people were shirking their responsibilities to each other.
Murong Ke directly ignored these people and said to Tuo Lei: "King Tuo Lei, Zhuge Liang's radical method is so obvious, why don't you stop King Hu Chuquan?" ”
Tuo Lei glanced at Murong Ke, and said with a bitter face: "Why didn't this king stop him?" But at that time, the excitement of the Manchu Dynasty could not be stopped at all. Besides, no one expected Zhuge Liang to master the lost Fire Bull Array.
Zhuge Liang and Huo Bing killed all the way, they didn't know how many cows they robbed, as long as there was a fire ox array, our army would not dare to approach, how could this battle be fought? ”
Murong Ke knew that now was not the time to be held responsible, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, the Fire Bull Formation is a bit obvious, and the shortcomings are equally obvious, I will not give the Han Army a chance to play the Fire Bull Array." ”
Seeing Murong Ke's confident look, a trace of surprise couldn't help but flash in Tuo Lei's eyes, could it be that Murong Ke had a way to crack the Fire Bull Formation so quickly?
Kai didn't wait for Tuo Lei to ask in detail, and suddenly another soldier came to report: "King Qiyu, General Murong, the Han army is all marching north, and the intention is unknown." ”
"North?"
Murong Ke and Tuo Lei exclaimed at the same time, and Tuo Lei frowned and said: "The 100,000 main iron cavalry will arrive in Dragon City tomorrow, and the mortal Han army will not flee to the south as soon as possible, but go north?" Does Zhuge Liang really think that with just one Fire Ox Array, he can fight against the power of my Great Yuan One Country? ”
Murong Ke's brows also furrowed, and when he heard Tuo Lei say this, he immediately retorted: "Impossible, Zhuge Liang, as a disciple of Guigu, cannot be so unwise, he must have another purpose in doing this." ”
"And what exactly is his purpose?"
"I don't know, maybe they just wanted to hit my Da Yuan hard, and they didn't plan to go back alive at all."
Although Murong Ke didn't know Zhuge Liang's intentions, he knew one thing, that is, he must not let the Han army continue to slaughter in Mobei.
You must know that most of the tribes in Monan have now migrated to Mobei, and Mobei at this time can have nearly half of the population of Yuanmeng, once there is a little mistake, the foundation of Yuanmeng will be hit hard.
The next day, after the main force of 100,000 yuan arrived in Longcheng, he did not make any stops, and was led by Murong Ke to Mobei to encircle and suppress the Saihan army.
————————
Hetao, Yinshan County.
"What? You say that tens of thousands of Han troops have entered the hinterland of Yinshan County? ”
After getting the news, Murong Ke was stunned at first, and then naturally became angry.
"What's the use of you guys? Tens of thousands of troops crossed the border, and no one found out, all of them were blind? Do you have to wait for the Han army to enter Yinshan City before you can see it? ”
Murong Chui didn't have to think about it to know that the living Han army that went deep into Yinshan must have come to save Yinshan City.
After Murong Ke brought the 100,000 iron cavalry from Zhenbei Pass back to the grassland, Yuan Meng only had 50,000 elites and 150,000 slave troops left in Yinshan County, but even this was more than enough to capture Yinshan City.
Under Murong Chui's steady and steady tactics, even Li Jing didn't have much room to play, and the defense of Yinshan City was constantly impacted, both the main army and the militia suffered great losses, and now it was almost to the point of running out of ammunition and food.
At this time, if the reinforcements of the Han army were allowed to enter Yinshan City, then all Murong Chui's previous efforts would be in vain, and he didn't know how long it would take to break through Yinshan.
"Come on, drag this derelict guy down for me and deal with it according to military law." Murong ordered expressionlessly.
The commander who was kneeling below suddenly changed his complexion, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but Murong Chui didn't react at all.
With a scream, a head was picked up by the guards, and the generals were all silent, and they didn't even dare to breathe more.
