242.The Battle of Wutong Ridge (2)
Probably no one would have imagined that the Yuan army was overwhelming, and the last one to take the initiative to attack would be the Song army.
After Su Quandang was dressed neatly and rushed to the main hall of Cenxi Mansion, Liu Zaiyuan, Du Yu Hou Miaocheng, the deputy commander of the Tiangang army, and the commanders and deputy generals also rushed to the main hall. Zhao Da, who led two hundred flying dragon soldiers to Cen Xi to help, was also among them.
Liu Zaiyuan and Miao Cheng were originally commanders in the Xiang Army, and they were forty years old. In the current Tiangang army, it has a lot of prestige.
"Commander."
After the generals arrived in the main hall, they bowed to Su Quandang and sat down behind the bookcase.
Liu Zaiyuan arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what the commander ordered me to come late at night?" ”
The generals are also human, and they are really asleep by this time.
Su Quandang's eyes swept over the faces of the generals, and he arched his hand towards the south, "The emperor has an order to order me to go out of the city and annihilate Kong Yuan." ”
"Go out of the city and annihilate Kong Yuan?"
All the generals were surprised, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little puzzled.
Some of them were former commanders of the Xiang army, some were leaders of the rebel army, and some were bandit leaders.
Liu Zaiyuan was puzzled: "Commander, our army is no more than 10,000 people, go out of the city to attack Kong Yuan, can you win?" ”
It's no wonder he has no confidence.
These people used to be only stragglers, and when they fought with the Yuan army, they really rarely took advantage.
In the end, there is still a gap between the army organized by the people and the regular army.
Although they were all armed now, with as many as 3,500 Divine Dragon Guns and 400 Thunderbolt Cannons in the army, this still could not offset the fear of the Yuan Army in their hearts. This is as if the Yuan army had a strong self-confidence in the face of the Song army, and they have already developed habits, and it is difficult to change them in a short period of time.
Originally, after the successive victories of the guards and the forbidden army of the palace front, they were not afraid of the Yuan army, but unfortunately, they were not even able to defeat the system.
Su Quandang said lightly: "When the general and the emperor first came to Guangxi, there were only more than 30,000 troops and horses, but they destroyed more than 200,000 yuan of Ali Hague's army. ”
The generals' hearts were slightly cold.
Of course they all know about it.
The news of the Great Song Dynasty's victory in Guangxi had already spread all over the world, and if it weren't for that, they might not have traveled to Guangxi.
Liu Zaiyuan was silent for a while, and arched his hand: "I am willing to listen to the orders of the commander." ”
The crowd will follow.
Although they were still afraid of the Yuan army in their hearts, Su Quandang's words just now really improved their confidence a lot.
At the beginning, the emperor only led more than 30,000 soldiers, and more than 20,000 Xingguo troops commanded by the Wen army to defeat the Yuan Dynasty's victorious general Ali Hague, who had many soldiers and generals, and now although they only have 10,000 people, it seems that it is not impossible to defeat Kong Yuan's 20,000 yuan army?
They are not the original rabble now, but the real Great Song Dynasty forbidden army!
The generals finally set their identities a little right.
Seeing this, Su Quandang nodded, and walked to the sand table placed in the center of the main hall, "Everyone, please come and see." ”
The generals hurriedly gathered around the sand table.
There are guards holding the lamps beside them.
Under the light, the sand table presents all the terrain around Cenxi County with soil.
More than 20 miles to the east outside Cenxi County, there is a low hill among several mountain peaks, and there are five small black flags on it, which is where the garrison of Kong Yuan is located.
And from Cen Creek to the low hill, there are two roads to go. One of them is an official road, and the other is a trail along the mountain range.
Su Quan pointed his finger at the dwarf hill and said, "According to the news that the scouts have already obtained, Kong Yuan's 20,000 yuan army is stationed in the shape of a plum blossom in Wutong Ridge. The Chinese army and the four armies of the southeast, south, and northwest are about 4,000 soldiers, firmly occupying Wutongling. They occupy a geographical advantage, condescending, with the strength of our army, if they want to force an attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult. Do you generals think that this battle should be fought to win? ”
Liu Zaiyuan and the others were all pensive.
Then, Miao Cheng said: "It's better to win by point than to divide and attack, our army concentrates its forces in a sharp knife formation and penetrates directly into their middle army, taking Kong Yuan's dog's life?" ”
"Is it too late?"
Liu Zaiyuan said: "If our army's offensive is blocked, we can't penetrate their Chinese army like a bamboo, but I am afraid that we will be surrounded and annihilated by them." ”
Miao Cheng said: "The power of the Divine Dragon Gun sent by the emperor to the army is so powerful, it should be able to break the Yuan army, right?" ”
It's just that when he said this, even he didn't have much confidence.
The dragon is strong, but it is not invincible. The Yuan army is lonely and condescending, and the power of the arrows cannot be underestimated.
At this time, Zhao Da suddenly spoke, "Why don't I lead the Flying Dragon Soldiers to go directly and blow up their big tent." ”
He had two hundred grenadiers with him, and he was in high spirits.
The generals must have not heard what he said.
The two hundred Flying Dragon Army went to bombard the big tent of the Yuan Army, and the generals who were originally the bandit leaders present were not so arrogant!
Su Quandang's eyes were slightly bright.
He lowered his head and carefully looked at the terrain around Wutong Ridge, and said, "There will be a way, the generals will listen to the order!" ”
"In!"
The crowd will give up.
Su Quandang said: "There are slopes on the east and south sides of Wutong Ridge, and it is only a few hundred meters away from Wutong Ridge. General Zhao sent two Flying Dragon armies, 50 men each, carrying grenadiers from the trail to the hillside, occupying high places, and waiting to bombard the eastern and southern camps of the Yuan army. The remaining 100 Flying Dragon Army set off with the main force and attacked the camp west of the Yuan Army from the official road! ”
Zhao Da grinned, "Order!" ”
Su Quandang's eyes swept over the generals again, "General Pan, General Xu, General Li, and General He listen to orders!" ”
"The last general!"
"The four of you each led 1,000 elite soldiers and 500 firecracker troops, General Pan and General Xu all the way, ambushed at the foot of Xiyan Mountain in the east of Wutong Ridge, and General Li and General He all the way, ambushed at the foot of the mountain behind the peak of the southern part of Wutong Ridge. When the Flying Dragon Army bombards the Yuan army camp, and the Yuan army rushes out of the camp tent to the foot of the mountain to take the Flying Dragon Army, you will kill it from it, and you must destroy the Yuan army! ”
"Order!"
"General Wang, General Guan, General Tong, and General Huo listen to orders!"
"The last general!"
"Each of you led a thousand elite soldiers, and the envoy with this commander and Deputy Liu commanded the envoy to rush straight to the western camp of the Yuan army and the Chinese army from the official road!"
"Order!"
Su Quandang finally looked at Du Yu Hou Miao Cheng, "Du Yu Hou, you and the other two generals are guarding the city." ”
Miao Cheng nodded, he didn't have any objections to defending the city, but he was puzzled: "Commander, can you break the western camp of the Yuan army with four thousand soldiers and horses?" And our army did not have soldiers and horses to contain the northern camp of the Yuan army, when the battle started, the Yuan army in the west, north and the Chinese army but there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if you charge down the mountain, you are not dangerous? ”
When the rest of the generals heard this, they were also quite skeptical.
Su Quan's troops were divided into three routes, although there were big killing weapons such as grenadiers, but the troops of either way did not have the upper hand.
The east and south sides were fine, with 500 firearms, 50 grenadiers, and 2,000 elite soldiers, it was not impossible to defeat the 4,000 Yuan army in the camp.
However, the pressure on the 4,000 Song troops who took the western camp of the Yuan army directly from the western official road was much greater.
Even if all the remaining 2,500 firecrackers are sent out, they may not be able to stop the tens of thousands of Yuan troops!
You must know that the two camps in the west and north of the Yuan army are becoming corners.
Su Quandang suddenly chuckled and said, "Don't forget that our army still has four hundred thunderbolts!" ”
Miao Cheng was stunned.
He suddenly felt that it was as if there was really hope for victory in 4,000 against 10,000.
100 grenadiers and 400 thunderbolts, if they were fired in unison, he couldn't imagine the scene.
And Su Quandang said again: "Besides, if there is a cannon fire in the east first, will the soldiers in the northern camp of the Yuan army still be able to sit still?" ”
The generals stopped talking, and their eyes were full of hope.
"Alright."
Su Quandang slapped his hands on the edge of the sand table and said, "Generals, let's go down and make arrangements!" Assemble outside the city with your army and set off in two hours! ”
All the generals received the order, and they all left the palace.
Su Quandang looked at the sand table and muttered to himself, "If I can annihilate Kong Yuan, the emperor won't blame me for not saving cannonballs, right?" ”
After saying that, he himself laughed.
Aren't artillery shells meant to be used to fight enemy troops? When is it not a hit?
The military camps in Cenxi County soon became lively, and the soldiers heard the sound of drums in their sleep, and ran out of the camp tents one after another.
Soon after, a general led his soldiers to assemble outside the city and stand by.
In less than two hours, there were already torches outside Cenxi County like sparks in the sky, illuminating the outside of the city transparently.
Su Quan went outside the city and didn't say anything, just took Liu Zaiyuan and Zhao Da and led his soldiers to set off first.
They had two thousand and five firearms, one thousand and five elite soldiers, and one hundred dragons.
The torches formed a long snake, and without any cover, they went straight to Wutong Ridge along the official road outside the city.
When the scouts of the Yuan army lurking outside Cen Xi City saw this scene, they hurriedly went back at night to report it.
Dozens of minutes later, from inside the city, another Song army left the city.
It's just that this Song army didn't light a torch, and in the dark night, it couldn't be seen at all.
After they left the city, they marched along the trail to the mountain behind the peak and the west mountain in the dark, and the speed was much faster than that of Su Quandang's army.
