Li Luo sat in the commander's seat and talked eloquently: "You all know that our army is going to adopt a cage strategy this time. First the south, then the west, then the north, divide the jungle, and gradually clear it. As long as the sea supply continues, we will rely on the camp south of the Baiteng River on the east coast and slowly consume the Vietnamese army. ”

Shi Bi said with a smile: "Although the general uses water grinding kung fu, but steady and steady, step by step, this cage strategy is powerful, even if the Vietnamese army hides in the jungle, it will eventually be forced out to fight a decisive battle with our army." ”

Li Luo smiled slightly, "That's right." It is true that there are many Vietnamese soldiers, but when it comes to a dignified field duel, An Neng is my Dayuan iron cavalry opponent. This cage policy is to encroach step by step, sweep in turn, force the Vietnamese army to gather out of the mountains, and fight a decisive battle in the wilderness! ”

That's right, Li Luo's strategy is the cage policy used by later generations of devils, and it is very insidious.

At that time, the anti-Japanese army and civilians relied on the Taihang Mountains to attack the Japanese invaders out of nowhere, creating great trouble for the Japanese invaders. In the end, the Japanese invaders formulated a targeted cage policy. The anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the Taihang Mountains were swept in blocks.

It is to concentrate troops, first blockade and sweep a certain mountainous area, and then deal with the next area, encroach on it piece by piece, eliminate the living forces of our army, and compress the strategic and tactical space of our army.

As a result, the anti-Japanese army and civilians could only take the initiative to attack, mobilize more than 100 regiments, and fight a decisive battle against the Japanese invaders.

Li Luo wanted to use this tactic to deal with the Vietnamese army relying on the jungle.

The camp in the south of the Yangtze River on both sides of the Baiteng River is the power delivery center for launching the cage tactic, like two huge grinding discs, crushing the Vietnamese army little by little.

"The whole army is out, go to Anbang City first, and rescue the remnants of the party!"

Li Luo said, looked at a Tibetan general with a plateau red on his face, and ordered in Tubo: "General Mabarangjie, you lead the five thousand Tubo cavalry of your headquarters as the vanguard, and go to Anbang City first." Ben Shuaiti's army then arrived. ”

Ma Parangjie didn't expect the general to speak Tubo, and immediately felt close, he stood up and took the order: "Ou! ”

Li Luo took out one of the arrows from the command on the handsome position, and wrote on it with a red pen: "Ling Ma Barang is the striker, go to Anbang City first, this order." ”

Then, Li Luo handed over the arrow to Yan Falcon, the personal guard who served as the marching record, and Yan Falcon wrote down Li Luo's military order, and then handed the arrow to Mabalangjie.

"Didn't hide the plum, Yeli Duobu!" Li Luo suddenly shouted.

Two women dressed in personal soldier attire came out of the personal guard ranks, "General." ”

In the army, they did not call Li Luo the master, but the general.

After the two were rewarded to Li Luo by Kublai Khan, they initially thought about escaping and fled to the small Wu state established by the remnants of the party in western Sichuan.

But after a few months, I found that Li Luo turned out to be a rare good host. Not only did they not abuse them as slaves, but they were also very generous in terms of food and clothing, and they did not humiliate them, and even assigned official slaves to serve them.

So, the two of them temporarily extinguished their thoughts of escaping and stayed in peace.

On this expedition, Li Luo told them that there were thousands of remnants of the party trapped in Anbang City, and he was going to rescue them. The two girls really hit the plan, and they were moved and immediately volunteered to go with the army.

At this time, the generals had already discovered that the two were women. But no one made a fuss. When the Mongol army went out, many generals would take women with them. Even if you don't bring it, you will grab it outside.

"Please command, General!" The two women were wearing military uniforms and looked very heroic.

Li Luo said to Mabalangjie in the Tibetan language: "This is the party palace maid given by the Great Khan to the handsome, and she can speak the party language. When you go to Ampang City, you will take them with you, and you can interpret them on both sides. General Mabarangiel, they are the palace maids of the Great Khan, don't let anything happen to them. ”

Mabarang smiled and saluted, "Woo! Thank you to the general, the general can rest assured. ”

Li Luo said to the two women in the party language again: "Ben Shuai didn't lie to you, right? As soon as Ben Shuai came to Annan, the first thing he did was to rescue the remnants of the party, and this is for your sake. ”

The two girls were even more moved, and Yeli Duobu said, "Thank you, master." When we see General Li Yi, we will definitely let him know the kindness of the master. ”

Li Luo thought to himself, of course I have to let Li Yi know my kindness, otherwise why should I save him? Hey, I don't know if Anbang City is still holding on, whether the thousands of party cavalry are still alive, don't show the dead people with an expression at the end.

"You first follow General Mabarang, and don't run around willy." Li Luo advised, "Ben Shuai will arrive in Anbang City two days late. ”

"Yes." The two girls are getting more and more well-behaved.

Soon, Ma Palang Jie personally led 5,000 Tibetan cavalry, took Yeli Duobu and Wuzang Chumei, rumbled out of Qiongjiang City, and went east.

Ma Palang Jie only has 5,000 Tibetan cavalry, isn't Li Luo afraid that these 5,000 Tibetan cavalry will be surrounded and annihilated by the main force of the Vietnamese army?

Unafraid.

Because Li Luo had already known all the information about the Vietnamese army's arrangement.

According to Li Jiao's previous secret report. The Vietnamese army now has three heavy groups. One is the Xishan Army led by Chen Guojun, the king of Xingdao, with 100,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 township troops, distributed in the jungle west of the Red River Plain.

The second heavy army group was the Nanshan Army, led by Chen Rilian, the king of Zhaowen. There are 90,000 forbidden troops and 90,000 township troops, and their branches are in the jungle south of the Red River Flat.

The third heavy army group was the Haixi Army in the central part of the country, and it was also the only legion that did not hide in the jungle, mainly to defend Tian'an Province, led by Chen Guohui, the king of Zhaohua.

In other words, none of the three heavy army groups was arranged on the coast near Ampang City. Even if Annan wants to rearrange, it will be too late.

There were not many Vietnamese troops near Ampang City, and they were unable to destroy the 5,000 Tibetan cavalry of Mabarangjie.

Chen's father and son never imagined that the Yuan army, which had always been cross-bridged, would go against the norm this time, not to occupy the Red River flat with Thang Long City as the center, and not to look for the main force of the Vietnamese army to fight a decisive battle, but to run to the East China Sea Road, where the Vietnamese army was empty.

On that day, an army of more than 100,000 rolled eastward like a stream of iron. Even the continuous spring rain can't hide the power of the sky.

…………

Anbang Fortress is a defensive fortress near the east coast of Annam, and Anheung Fortress on the south coast, and is called "Shuangan Fortress in the East Sea".

At this time, the city of Anbang was completely miserable.

Since the instigation of the capital army was destroyed, Li Yi took 7,000 party cavalry to find a way to survive and went east to Anbang City. Ampang City had long been an empty city, and it happened to be occupied by him.

On the third day after he occupied An Bang City, the Vietnamese army followed and surrounded An Bang City.

Relying on the relatively strong city defense of Anbang City, the 7,000 party cavalry relied on killing horses to satisfy hunger, and repelled more than a dozen sieges of tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops.

The Vietnamese army was unable to overcome repeated attacks and suffered tens of thousands of casualties, so they simply changed their attack to a trap. Anyway, they also knew that the Yuan army in the city was killing horses to satisfy hunger, and they couldn't hold out for long, so there was no need to attack the city with their lives.

When the Dangxiang cavalry entered Anbang City, most of their horses were lost, and only more than 2,000 remained. After two or three months, the horses have been killed, and there are only more than 4,000 troops left.

The remaining party soldiers had no food for two days, and they were all dizzy from hunger. Even the horse bones were boiled into soup and drunk by them.

Everything that can be eaten in the city has been eaten.

Although he can barely fight, everyone knows that he won't be able to hold out for two days. Two days later, the city of Ampang will be destroyed, and no one will escape from the death of the battle.

The Vietnamese army outside the city has withdrawn a number, but there are still no less than 30,000 people besieging An Bang City, and several city gates are impassable.

Li Yi sat on the city tower with a knife, silently drenched in the drizzle, and his eyes were gloomy.

Just the day before yesterday, his war horse was killed. His war horse is the last war horse in the whole army. When the horse was killed, it was already hungry and skinny.

Last time he instigated the southern expedition of the capital, the party army had a full 10,000 iron cavalry, he was the deputy general, and his cousin Li Heng was the main general. As a result, his cousin died in battle, and he instigated the queen of the Dang Xiang Army, but he abandoned the Dang Xiang Army and used the Dang Xiang Army as a bait.

But the instigation did not end well, he died at the foot of Lang Mountain, and the Yuan army was wiped out except for him.

Li Yi was trapped in Anbang City, how did he know that the instigation was killed in battle and the Yuan army was annihilated? It was said by the Vietnamese army outside the city, and the Vietnamese army also took the heads of generals such as Instigation Du and Li Heng to persuade them to surrender under the city.

Li Yi didn't think about surrendering. It's just that the party members surrendered to Temujin, how could they still surrender to just Annam? I can't afford to lose this man!

And he knew that even if he surrendered, he would most likely be killed and captured by the Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese army did not kill prisoners once or twice. If you surrender and don't kill Yunyun, you should lie to him to open the city.

Li Yi was not fooled, but chose to stick to it.

But now, I can't hold it anymore.

If the Vietnamese army does not attack the city, they will starve to death. As for the reinforcements...... There is no hope anymore, there will be none. Even if the second batch of Yuan troops went south, it would be too late to save them.

Li Yi is not afraid of death, but he feels sorry for these thousands of party members, and he feels that it is not worth dying for Dayuan. In the past few decades, the party members are dying.

What kind of bullshit Dayuan, it doesn't matter if the party members are destroyed, and it is okay to surrender, but what do you get now? Even the clan name was changed to Tang Wu'er.

It's not worth it.

Speaking of which, he Li Yi is also a descendant of the Great Xia royal family, but he worked for Meng Yuan, the enemy who attacked and destroyed Great Xia and slaughtered the people of Great Xia, and finally died in the small wilderness of Annan, with no bones left.

I'm sorry ancestors!

The more Li Yi thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, angry, and ashamed.

"General." A voice lacking in energy interrupted Li Yi's thoughts, and then a general walked up to him with vague steps.

It is a thousand households of officials and fields.

"General." Yeli Sili's originally tall and burly body was also skinny, and he sat down beside Li Yi with a knife, "We can't go back." Do you want to open the city and die on the battlefield? It's better than starving to death. ”

Li Yi replied to the question and suddenly said, "Si Li, have you ever regretted serving Dayuan?" ”

Yeli Sili smiled bitterly, "Da Yuan has never really trusted the party members. We're just slave soldiers charging for Dayuan. But can it not be effective? Where do we decide? Although there were several party ministers in the DPRK and China, they were just window dressers for the Yuan court. ”

Li Yi sighed, "Why be afraid of death, why die without a place to go, unwilling." What happened to the soldiers? ”

Yeli Sili shook his head and said, "Close your eyes and wait for death, and you will be killed." ”

Li Yi gritted his teeth and said, "You're right. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to go out of the city and fight to the death of the Vietnamese army while there is still a little strength now, and it is better to die in battle than to starve to death. Pass me on the order ......"

"General!" Suddenly, a defender interrupted Li Yi's words, "Brigade of cavalry! ”

What the!

Li Yi and Ye Li Sili stood up and took a look, and sure enough, they found that a large group of cavalry had appeared in the western wilderness. It's just that because the distance is still far away, I can't see the flag clearly.

It's the Dayuan cavalry!

Li Yi suddenly became excited. He knew that the Vietnamese army did not have such a large-scale cavalry team, so there must be reinforcements.

"Reinforcements have arrived!" More than 4,000 hungry party soldiers all shouted and their morale soared.

At the same time, the Vietnamese army battalions outside the city also lined up to wait for the enemy. The 30,000 Vietnamese army soon listed several infantry phalanxes, and the only dozens of elephants were also placed in the forefront.

"Boom—"

Mabarangjie led 5,000 Tibetan cavalry, galloped 500 miles in two days, and finally arrived outside the city of Ampang. Seeing the Vietnamese army camp outside Ampang City, Mabalangjie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't late.

"It's reinforcements!" Li Yi laughed, "The imperial court finally hasn't forgotten me!" ”

The 5,000 Tibetan cavalry were like dragons and tigers, braving the drizzle and roaring, and the momentum was very amazing. However, the Vietnamese army remained unmoved, still standing still, and was ready for battle.

"The Yuankou cavalry came from afar, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, so there was nothing to fear, we took the initiative to attack, broke its sharpness, and the defeat was easy to hear!" The general of the Vietnamese army, Ruan Xuan, shouted, "The Yuan army has cavalry, and I have war elephants and poisonous arrows, so I'm afraid of where he will come!" Hmph, thousands of enemy riders, annihilation of the morning food! ”

Ruan Xuan didn't expect that the Yuan army reinforcements would be able to come here, if he knew, he would have fought hard to capture Anbang City at the cost of casualties.

However, although Ruan Xuan was very surprised in his heart, he was not afraid.

"Kill! Kill! The 30,000 Vietnamese troops shouted in unison, and their fighting spirit was boiling.

The horns of the Vietnamese army and the war drums shook the sky together.

Woowoo......

Knock knock knock......

"Attack!" Ruan Yan waved the command flag, except for 10,000 soldiers and horses to block the city gate, the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses pressed together and pressed towards the Tubo cavalry.

In particular, dozens of heavily armed elephants, under the control of the elephant soldiers, raised their long trunks, let out a strange cry that frightened the Yuan army, and rushed over with a bang.

The spearmen and crossbowmen of the Vietnamese army, lined up in a neat line, trotted behind the war elephants.

"Yuan Kou horsepower is exhausted, kill!"

The Yuan army failed to conquer Vietnam twice, and the most recent one was even completely annihilated, and even the commander was cut off. This made the Vietnamese army feel like a rainbow of war, their morale was high, and they even became arrogant.

The psychological superiority of the Vietnamese army has been established through two great victories in the national war.

Even if the same army has different confidences, the strength will be completely different.

At this time, the Vietnamese army, after a series of great victories, no longer took the Yuan army in their eyes.

This is something that Mabalangjie didn't expect, and even Li Luo didn't expect.

"The morale of the Vietnamese army is so strong!"

Mabarang was reluctant to fight at the moment. Because they came from afar, they were indeed sleepy and tired, and they needed at least half a day of rest and recovery before they could start the war.

But the Vietnamese army obviously did not give him a chance to recover his horsepower.

Ma Balang knot touched the oil and sweat on the horse's neck, looked at the war horse that was snorting and panting, and had to grit his teeth and order: "Withdraw!" ”

"General! Withdrawing at this time will hurt morale! A Tibetan general said.

Mabalan stammered and said, "Are you stupid Chaba! If you don't withdraw at this time, can you still fight! Remove! ”

"Beat!" The subordinate who was scolded as a chaba did not dare to persuade him anymore.

Suddenly, the 5,000-strong Tibetan army retreated, narrowing the distance between it and the Vietnamese army.

And the war horses of the Yuan army were also very frightened when they saw the behemoth-like war elephants, and this retreat was very embarrassing.

However, although the Yuan army was exhausted, it was not a problem to retreat to avoid the battle. The Vietnamese army could only watch the loss of valuable fighters.

"Damn! Cowardly Yuankou! Don't dare to fight! Ruan scolded angrily.

Now, the Vietnamese army has begun to scold the Yuan army with cowardice, and if the general of the Yuan army hears it, it is estimated that he will vomit blood in anger.

"The cavalry horsepower has been exhausted, and for the time being, they can only retreat and avoid the battle to protect themselves." Li Yi stood at the head of the city, a little disappointed.

Ye Li Sili said: "Although there are reinforcements, it is only 5,000 cavalry, and it is difficult to defeat the 30,000 Vietnamese army with high morale. I'm hungry and have little power, and I can't help much. ”

Li recalled: "At least the morale of our army has recovered. You can stay up for two more days. If there are no new reinforcements, there is no point. ”

Hope came suddenly, disappointment still came suddenly.

Mabalan retreated ten miles before giving the order to dismount and rest. At this point, it's getting dark.

"When the Vietnamese army sees that our reinforcements are coming, they will definitely step up the siege of the city. I didn't have to wait too long to recuperate. It was necessary to constantly harass the Vietnamese army so that they could not attack the city with peace of mind. The general must arrive within three days, and in these two or three days, the Vietnamese army must not be allowed to capture the city of An Bang. ”

"The party army in the city is estimated to have no combat power, and it is difficult to count on. The Vietnamese army has tens of thousands of people, which is several times that of our army, and there are war elephants, so they can't fight hard. Mabalan said.

A subordinate general said: "Although the Vietnamese army has many soldiers, if you take into account the four city gates, the strength will be diluted." General, it is better to go around the city with cavalry tomorrow and choose a city gate to enter. ”

Mabalan shook his head: "Don't go into the city. We are cavalry, and it is easy to enter the city and difficult to get out of the city. What if you enter the city, it is not the general who comes first, but the reinforcements of the Vietnamese army? Aren't we stuck in the city? Don't forget, our army only has a few days' worth of food and grass. ”

The general said: "The general clearly sees that the last general has not thought it through." ”

Mabalang then made arrangements. He had only one purpose, to prevent the Vietnamese army from attacking the city.

At night, the Vietnamese army really attacked the city again, and the hungry and dizzy party defenders had no choice but to take up arms.

When the city gate was in danger, the Tibetan cavalry finally arrived and harassed the rear of the Vietnamese army.

Although the Vietnamese army had already taken precautions, it had no choice but to give up the siege of the Yuan cavalry.

In the next two days, the Tibetan cavalry continued to harass the Vietnamese army, but did not fight a decisive battle, and the Vietnamese army had a six-fold advantage in the air force, and it was impossible to solve this cavalry.

However, almost all the party troops in the city were so hungry that they couldn't lift their weapons and couldn't draw their bows.

At this time, as long as the Vietnamese army attacked the city, it would take at most half an hour to break through the city.

"It's over." Li Yi stood on the city tower with difficulty, looking at the cavalry of the Yuan Army who were constantly harassing the camp of the Vietnamese army, shaking his head and sighing: "It's too late." ”

Ma Balang Jie was also very tired in the past two days, he pointed to the city, shook his head and smiled bitterly at Ye Li Duobu and Wu Hide Mei: "Two ladies, Ben General has done his best, and he may not be able to save the party army in the city." ”

Although the two girls couldn't understand the Tibetan dialect, they understood the meaning of the Mabalangjie and couldn't help crying loudly.

Nguyen La, the general of the Vietnamese army outside the city of An Bang, finally ran out of patience.

"Order, immediately attack the city with all your might! Regardless of the Yuankou cavalry attacking the camp, let's take Anbang City first! ”

At the sound of the order, the Vietnamese army immediately began to attack the city again.

Li Yi at the head of the city, Ye Lisley, and Mabalangjie outside the city all had drastic changes in their expressions.

Wild Lidobu and Unhidden Plum are even more earthy.

But as soon as the siege equipment of the Vietnamese army was laid out, the cheers of the party troops in the city were heard.

When the 30,000 Vietnamese troops looked back, they saw a huge team appear on the field, and a tall black horsetail Sulu ingot and a blue wolf battle flag appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Mabalangjie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "The general has arrived!" ”

Nori Dobu and Ume didn't hide looked at Daxu together, and both of them were surprised and delighted in their beautiful eyes. They had never been so desperate for Li Luo to appear.

"The master has arrived!"

Li Yi and others in the city were even more excited, and many people burst into tears.

"That's the commander of the expedition, the new general has arrived!" Li Yi said loudly.

The general of the Vietnamese army looked at the Yuan army who was getting closer and closer, and he was shocked in his heart.

This is the main force of Yuankou! How did you come to Tokai Road? Shouldn't it be on the Red River Flatlands?

The main force of Dayue is not on the Donghai Road, but the main army of Yuankou has come to the Donghai Road! This......

"Collect the troops! Back to camp! Ruan Xuan couldn't think much about it, so he could only order the troops to be collected and returned to the camp to hold on, while sending people on horseback to report the news.

Ma Parangjie saw a few fast horses rushing out of the Vietnamese army's large array, where did he not know that he was going to report the news?

"Catch up with the Vietnamese army's messenger cavalry and shoot them!" Mabalam ordered.

"Beat!"

A group of Tibetan cavalry immediately chased after them.

Immediately afterwards, the main army led by Li Luo drove to the city of Anbang with an unbeatable momentum.

ps: Don't say anything, it's the end of the month, tearful eyes for support! Woo...
