Chapter 647: The Yuan Army is Coming!
In the bright tent, Yue Fei respectfully invited Xiao Rui to sit on the top seat.
Yue Fei was very excited, he was originally a person with no official and no title, although he was favored by Li Qingshan, he was only the third commander of the Nanshan Army. Unexpectedly, such a humble self was personally ordered by His Majesty, and he was unprecedentedly promoted to the official position of deputy chief soldier, commanding 40,000 soldiers and horses. He knew that many people were not convinced, and they secretly wondered why in their hearts.
Why?
Yue Fei quickly used his battle exploits to tell them why! With his courage and courage to die, he took the lead in the soldiers, so that the invincible Yuan army could lose its troops and generals, and then panic like a rat.
Therefore, Yue Fei is very grateful to His Majesty for this kindness, Yue Fei has long made up his mind to protect Great Xia with his life!
After Xiao Rui sat down, he stretched out his hand to signal Yue Fei to sit down, and then asked, "How long will it take to complete the construction of the wall?" ”
Yue Fei just sat down and hurriedly got up, and said respectfully: "It will take six months, it can be preliminarily completed, and a certain defense can be formed, and the next thing is to strengthen the scale, it is estimated that it will take one to two years before it can be impregnable!" ”
Although the Qimun Mountains span a long time, they are not completely connected, and in some places the mountains are low, and there are gaps. Now this Tiancang Pass is a gap, the length is more than 20 miles, so it is necessary to build a city wall to connect the mountains on both sides, so the gap is filled.
The preliminary completion that Yue Fei said is to tamp the soil foundation in the middle of the gap, preliminarily fill the gap, and then dig the rocks and fix the soil foundation with large stones to form a real city wall. The thickness of the city wall built in this way can reach more than ten meters, and the Yuan army cannot climb it at all.
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "This is a big project, and it will be the northern gate of Great Xia in the future, which can not only guard against the Yuan army in the north, but also rely on our strength." General Yue, you can't relax! ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task!" Yue Fei said solemnly.
Xiao Rui said again: "Can the Yuan army come to plunder during this time?" The melting of ice and snow is slow, which greatly affects the grazing of the Yuan people, they have to go south to plunder resources every spring, the previous Qi country was weak, so they were bullied, and now it is the turn of Great Xia to call the shots, and they must not be bullied! ”
"Half a month ago, the Yuan army gathered 50,000 troops to attack, and fled north in a hurry after being defeated by the last general, and the last general led people to chase the enemy for 100 miles, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, and then retreated for fear of an ambush in depth. Since that war, the Yuan army has been very honest. However, the scouts came to report that the Yuan army tried to sweep south from the direction of Linzhou and Liaozhou, where General Li and General Yang were in charge, and the Yuan army did not want to take advantage of it! Yue Fei said confidently.
Li Cunxiao was already a super master, and he had to be taught by Yue Fei the hemp knife and the hook and sickle gun, and it was easy to destroy the Yuan army. Yoyuki is a superb archer, and with his role as a super sniper, the enemy general is the first to be killed.
However, the two are fierce generals, but they are not talented generals.
Therefore, Xiao Rui gave the two of them a death order, that is, the pursuit of the enemy army must not exceed fifty miles, and they must retreat to avoid the Yuan army from setting a trap and killing the two.
And Yue Fei doesn't have to worry, it's not so easy for Yuan Jun to trap him.
At this time, Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Yue, it is impossible for the Yuan army that cannot grab the benefits to sit still, or gather more troops to go south, or look for other targets." However, most of the tribes of the Yuan State were concentrated in the east, and only the Mongol tribes migrated to the west and could invade the Dongqi region of the Qin State, so it was unlikely that the Yuan army would look for other targets, so it would have to gather more troops. Half a month has passed since the defeat of the last dimensional army, and it seems that the other side is brewing a larger-scale attack! ”
Xiao Rui nodded, if you don't grab it now, when Tiancang Pass is completed, the Yuan army will have no drama. The Khan of the Yuan Kingdom is not stupid and knows the severity.
Yue Fei smiled and said, "What Mr. Jia said is that although the scouts sent out by the last general did not find out the movement of the Yuan army, the humble position also expected that the Yuan army would not give up the southward looting, so the humble official has already ordered people to prepare!" ”
"Tell me about it!" Xiao Rui immediately asked.
Yue Fei ordered someone to bring the map, Yue Fei pointed to the terrain outside Tiancang Pass and introduced: "Your Majesty, the best way to deal with the cavalry of the Yuan State is to weaken their mobility, without the help of war horses, the combat effectiveness of the Yuan army will be greatly reduced." Therefore, he ordered people to set a trap outside the Heavenly Cangguan and wait for them to come. First of all, ten miles away, dug out five trenches as deep as one zhang, one and a half zhang wide, and as long as five miles, covered with bamboo chips, sprinkled with thin soil, the Yuan cavalry attacked, and the advance troops would inevitably fall into the trenches. At that time, the Yuan army could not go straight, and the troops must go around from the flanks in two steps. Among them, the left side of the detour, must pass through a dense forest, which will greatly limit the speed of the horse's march, and when the time comes, the lowly can use fire to attack, so that these Yuan troops can taste the hot taste. As for the Yuan army on the right, the humble duty prepared chariots and triphorses, in addition, although the war horses were well-trained, but once frightened, it was difficult to appease, so the humble duty used the sound of gunpowder explosion to create a fierce horse formation, tied firecrackers to the tail of the horse or the tail of the ox, and fled in all directions after being frightened, which could break up the formation of the Yuan army. ”
"If the Yuan army can get close to Tiancang Pass, there are Zhuge crossbows and strong crossbows here, and the soldiers' hemp knives and hook sickles will be their nightmare."
After listening to his arrangement, Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Yue's strategy is interlocking, even if the Yuan army comes with 150,000 cavalry, it will be difficult to take Tiancang Pass!" ”
"Mr. Jia Liao praised." General Yue replied with a smile.
As if to say something, as soon as Yue Fei's words fell, a guerrilla general hurriedly entered the tent and said: "Your Majesty, general, the scout sent the latest eagle report, and found that a large number of Yuan troops appeared seventy miles away in the north, and the number is probably 100,000, and it was assembled in a short time, and it attacked towards Tiancang Pass!" "510 Literature
Yue Fei raised his eyebrows, the Yuan army really came!
He immediately said to Xiao Rui: "Please also ask Your Majesty to move to the gate!" ”
Xiao Rui smiled and said, "No, I'll just sit here and wait for your good news!" ”
"This..."Although Yue Fei was full of confidence, the battlefield was changing, and he naturally didn't dare to put His Majesty in danger.
Therefore, Yue Fei looked at Jia Xu, hoping that he could help persuade His Majesty to quickly enter the city to watch the battle. At that time, even if there is an accident, His Majesty can quickly retreat, and Yue Fei will have no worries.
Who knew that Jia Xu did not persuade Xiao Rui, but persuaded Yue Fei: "General Yue, Your Majesty said a sentence before, the Son of Heaven guards the country!" Tiancang Pass is the northern gate of Great Xia, and now that the enemy army is attacking, how can Your Majesty take a step back? With only 100,000 enemy troops, General Yue, don't you have confidence? Your Majesty is full of confidence in you! ”
As soon as Yue Fei heard this, his blood instantly ignited, and he couldn't wait to pick up his spear and suddenly kill all the Yuan troops.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, and kill the Yuan Army as a congratulatory gift to Your Majesty." Yue Fei bowed, and then left with Xiao Rui's nod in agreement.
After Yue Fei received the eagle report, the Yuan army was closer to Tiancang Pass, and there were still fifty or sixty miles, and the horn of assembly immediately sounded in the barracks, and 40,000 soldiers gathered according to the formation of the army, the team, the sentry, the general and the battalion, and the entire army began to arrange the troops in an orderly manner.
According to Yue Fei's previous concept, 3,000 infantry hid in the woods on the east side, carrying fuel and preparing to attack by fire. Today it is a southwesterly wind, and the wind is just right for a fire attack.
The other phalanxes were waiting in front of the Tiancang Pass.
From afar, seeing the smoke and dust billowing on the northern land, the cavalry of the 100,000 yuan army was killed, stretching for several miles, it was the elite cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom, and the ordinary army could not stop it at all.
Seeing that Tiancang Pass was close in front of him, Yuan Jun's eyes showed eagerness one by one, as if he saw food, gold and silver, and women, as long as he rushed over, it was all his own.
Among them, the first hundred and ten Yuan troops were mad, they were the vanguard, the arrows of the whole cavalry, and they would tear open the heavenly cangguan like tearing the clothes of a beautiful girl.
It's closer, it's closer...
There are no front-line fighting generals, they are all mortal enemies, why bother to act and rush to kill the past!
When the Yuan army at the front was already wielding a long knife, the war horse they were sitting on suddenly stepped on the air, and even the people and horses fell forward, smashed the bamboo pieces used for covering, and fell directly into the trench. Who knows, before he could get up, another war horse fell in behind him, directly killing the lowest person.
Just like dumplings, all the cavalry at the front fell into the trench, even if a war horse jumped over, just ran two steps forward, and fell into the other trenches.
The scene was chaotic in an instant, and the Yuan army's overwhelming rush came to an abrupt end.
I don't know how many trenches are dug in front, and it seems that it is impossible to go straight, so the general of the Yuan army in the rear scolded, and then ordered someone to blow a horn and go around from the left and right flanks.
After testing, it was found that the trench was only five miles, so the Yuan army immediately boldly detoured from the left and right sides and continued to rush towards Tiancang Pass.
The Yuan army on the left naturally had to pass through a large forest, and they were also very cautious, fearing that there would be an ambush in the woods, so they released arrows into the woods, and there were heavy armored cavalry in front to lead the way, and their fully defended iron armor could block the attack of arrow feathers.
A large number of Yuan troops entered the woods and were not ambushed, and the heavy cavalry in front of them walked out of the woods, and these Yuan troops breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the Great Xia soldiers hiding on the periphery of the forest set fire to the trees, and the trees were poured with flammable oil, and the woods were also full of dry firewood and branches to support the combustion, so the fire burned instantly.
At the same time, the cavalry of the Yuan army, which had just come out of the woods, was also ambushed, and the heavy cavalry could not charge, so they lost the greatest advantage of the heavy cavalry.
Flames were lit all around, the road ahead was blocked, and a large number of Yuan troops were trapped in the woods and began to break through, completely messing up the phalanx.
The Yuan cavalry on the right was not attacked by fire, but they encountered a frenzied herd of horses and cattle and rushed towards them frantically.
