Chapter 848. War (III).

……

……

Just when the Mongol coalition army was forced to divide its troops to support the Zhenning Acropolis for the second time, Zhao Junchen had already led the main force of the border army of more than 30,000 troops to Chengxian in Gongchang Prefecture.

If the Mongol army wants to rush to the Acropolis of Zhenning in the shortest possible time, this is the only way to go.

Chengxian County belongs to the remaining veins of the West Qinling Mountains, and there are many high mountains and valleys in the territory, and the Qingni River and its tributaries run through it, and such a complex terrain is also the most easy to hide troops and ambush.

In the southwest of Chengxian County, there is an inconspicuous branch of the Qingni River, called the Xiaochuan River.

Because of the drought for many years, the water depth of the Xiaochuan River is only the depth of an adult's waist, and the river surface is not wide, and the narrowest part of the river is only more than ten meters away.

After consulting with all the generals and staff under his command, Zhao Junchen thought that when the Mongolian army rushed to the Acropolis of Zhenning, it was most likely to pass through here!

Therefore, after Zhao Junchen led the army to Chengxian, he divided his forces into two parts, one part was hidden on Yunluan Mountain south of the Xiaochuan River, and the other part was hidden in an unnamed valley north of the Xiaochuan River.

*

On this day, when the sun was rising, Zhao Junchen stood on Yunluan Mountain, quietly watching the scenery of Xiaochuan River in the distance.

On his slightly pale face, there was a faint regret on his expression.

"It's a pity that this small river is narrow and shallow, and at most it delays the Mongols' march slightly, and it does not form the conditions for a half-crossing attack, nor can it create the greatest advantage for the soldiers, otherwise this battle will be much easier......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help laughing at himself and shaking his head slightly, feeling that he was too greedy.

In the final analysis, when the war is approaching, Zhao Junchen has some gains and losses after all, and he can't wait to have all the advantages, so as to ensure the greatest chance of victory.

And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking darkly, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Zhao Junchen turned his head to look, only to see that it was Wu Qifan, the prefect of Xi'an, Zhou Bo, the envoy of Shaanxi, and Ma Hancheng, the deputy chief soldier of Guyuan.

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly at everyone, and then asked, "You are fortunate, but everything is arranged?" ”

Ma Hancheng replied respectfully: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, all arrangements have been made!" The 20,000 horses of our army have all been hidden on Yunluan Mountain, and they can be dispatched at any time! In addition, the two generals Qian Bao and Liu Manniu also led 13,000 soldiers and horses to hide in the nameless valley north of the Xiaochuan River. ”

Zhao Junchen asked again: "There are no flaws left, right?" ”

This time, it was Zhou Bo who replied: "Xiaguan has sent someone to clear the traces of the march near Yunluan Mountain overnight, and Xiaguan has also personally investigated and talked about it, so it will definitely not let the Mongolian coalition army find the flaws!" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said, "That's fine!" Now everything is ready, just waiting for the Mongols to take the bait! This Tianshui Rebellion can be regarded as a blessing and a curse! By mistake, the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Mongolian coalition army have now been divided into three parts, which just gives us the opportunity to break them one by one!

…… The 10,000 Mongol troops who attacked the Acropolis of Zhenning naturally had the general army to deal with the old general He Zhang, even if they could not completely defeat them, they could be stalemate for a while...... The main force of the Mongol coalition army attacking Jiezhou City was about 20,000 people, and naturally Wu Yuan was responsible for delaying it...... And now the Mongolian reinforcements who are about to pass through here, according to the intelligence, there are about 15,000 people, and they are our opponents this time! ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen's face showed a solemn expression, looked around at the civil and military officials in front of him, and said: "Among these three battlefields, we are the most important here!" We also have the most obvious advantage here! Our strength is more than twice that of the Mongols, occupying the advantage of the enemy's open and our dark, and the geographical advantage of the Xiaochuan River to delay the pace of the Mongols' march, the time, place, and people are all on our side! Therefore, there is no possibility of defeat in this battle!

However, our advantage is obvious, but the task is also the most severe, even if the other two battlefields can't hit the enemy hard, we can try to delay time and wait for our support, but we must fight and win, except to annihilate the enemy, there is no more choice!

According to the plan, as long as we simply defeat the Mongolian reinforcements, we can wave the army to the Zhenning Acropolis, and encircle and suppress the Mongolian army on the Zhenning Acropolis with He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan, at that time, the Mongolian coalition army will lose most of its strength, and our strategic advantage can be completely consolidated.

If everything goes well, the Mongols will be greatly weakened after this battle, and they will not be able to invade the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu again for decades to come, and at that time, you and I will also leave our names in the history books! Ladies and gentlemen, how many beats can you have in life? Win or lose, it's all in one fell swoop! ”

Zhao Junchen's tirade is not only clear and impassioned, but also explains the seriousness of the task and depicts a bright future prospect.

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, all the civil and military officials were mobilized, even Ma Hancheng, the deputy chief soldier of Guyuan, who had always been cowardly, was also in a state of courage, such as Wu Qifan, Zhou Bo and other civil officials, at this time, they were even more excited, and they couldn't wait to personally raise their knives to kill the enemy!

As Zhao Junchen said, as long as they win this battle, they can make a name for themselves in history, and the glory of life is all in this fight!

Under Zhao Junchen's plan, they already have the greatest advantage, if they still shrink their heads and tails like before, dare not let go, and let the opportunity be missed, they can't forgive themselves!

So, the civil and military people said in unison: "We must follow Lord Qincha and fight bravely to kill the enemy!" Destroy the enemy! Make a difference! Make a name for yourself! ”

After seeing everyone's determination, Zhao Junchen looked satisfied and said, "Everyone, this battle depends on your performance!" ”

*

Next, Zhao Junchen asked everyone for some details, and after making sure that nothing went wrong, he asked all the civil and military officials to return to their respective positions and stand by.

According to intelligence, the Mongol army will appear at any time, and everyone must be on standby at all times.

However, when the civil and military officials left one after another, Wu Qifan hesitated slightly, but stopped.

After everyone walked away, Wu Qifan said to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Qincha, after the Mongols appear, there will inevitably be a bitter battle here!" The lower official thinks that you only need to sit in the rear and command the overall situation, and you don't have to take risks yourself! Ningbian Fort is only more than ten miles away from here, and you can also receive battlefield dynamics at any time, which is the most suitable place, while the Mongols have not yet appeared, Xia Guan asked Lord Qincha to move to Ningbian Fort to take command! ”

Zhao Junchen glanced at Wu Qifan and said: "This matter has been said several times, this battle is too important, if I can't observe it in person, I really can't rest assured!" As for my safety, Lord Wu, you don't have to worry, if tens of thousands of troops can't protect me, then it is even more impossible to exterminate the Mongolian coalition army, if this battle can't destroy the Mongolian reinforcements, the Shaanxi-Gansu border army will be greatly damaged, and the situation in the northwest will be completely eroded, all because of my arrogance, then I deserve to be robbed! ”

Wu Qifan hesitated for a moment and said, "But Lord Qincha, your body ...... I'm afraid it's ......."

Wu Qifan has always been the most careful, and he has faintly noticed Zhao Junchen's physical condition.

In the past few days, Zhao Junchen's face has gradually become pale and bloodless, and he often talks secretly with the military doctor Gan Shun......

After hearing Wu Qifan's words, Zhao Junchen glanced at Wu Qifan deeply, and just said: "Ben Qincha's body can still hold on, and it must hold on!" ”

Wu Qifan saw that Zhao Junchen was firm, and he didn't persuade anything more, just sighed lightly, bowed to Zhao Junchen again, and then turned to leave.

After Wu Qifan walked away, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked Zhao Dali, the leader of the guards beside him, "I secretly confessed to you that matter, but it has already been done?" ”

Zhao Dali hurriedly nodded and said: "The right person has been found, and the villain has hidden him and is on standby at any time!" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "That's good!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen turned around again and looked at Xiaochuan River in the distance, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

*

Then, about half an hour later, Zhao Junchen received a report from Tanma.

The Mongol army has appeared!
