Chapter 532: Committing a Crime Against the Wind (5)

The war book has not replied, and Bailiyan has no intention of really provoking the sensitive nerves of the defenders to go out of the city to fight, as long as the defenders in the city are attracted up and down the east gate city wall, and create favorable conditions for blowing up the city wall and causing huge casualties, the purpose of the war letter will be achieved.

He has never advocated fighting a dignified battle, and he has not even fought a battle in a decent way so far, and at the moment the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is obvious that there will be no good results in being tough.

On the day of the battle, Bailiyan sent people to the city to provoke, Yabuke strictly guarded the city, closed the city gate and did not go out, but found that the situation in the coalition camp was abnormal.

"What are the northerners doing?"

He found that the coalition army had only sent a few men out of the camp to challenge, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were in the besieging phalanx, and in the middle of the phalanx were horses and unicorns carrying supplies, as well as a large number of women and children.

"Is this an escape? Are they stupid! ”

Yabuk secretly said in his heart, he had already thought that the coalition army was going to escape, but he really couldn't figure it out, more than 100,000 people dragged their families with their mouths, and in the face of his 1450,000 soldiers and horses, how could they escape.

Thinking of this, Yabuk decided to find out:

"Come, herald the warriors in the army, go out of the city to fight!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

When he was young, the east gate was wide open, and a team of thousands of honors came out, and Bai Liyan immediately thought that the confrontation had lasted so long, most of them were because he saw that he was packing and moving in his camp, and he didn't know the depth, and he was ready to come to the test.

"Jiang Jie, have all the authentic people withdrawn?"

"It's all withdrawn."

"Give a decree to withdraw the people under the city."

Jiang Jie was surprised:

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for our army to remove people. The war book is under our army, if you miss the appointment, you will lose your trust from now on. ”

"Stupid, we scolded for an hour and a half, and they shouldn't fight, they didn't break the appointment first. Now go out of the city to fight, who knows if they are cheating, we are not tired of cheating, understand? ”

"Oh......"

Bailiyan has no intention of fighting at all, no matter whether Jin Xuedi should fight or not, he will not let his soldiers die in vain.

When Jiang Jie went to give the order, Bailiyan ordered Baihe to light a fire, and at the same time let people overturn the wooden fence at the south gate of the camp to facilitate the army to leave the camp. Sikong Nan and Fang Liang took the lead, after Lu Gao broke off, the left and right flanks of the royal guests and coalition forces covered, and the new vassals, women and baggage slowly walked in the big array.

When Yabuk learned that the coalition had withdrawn his men, he immediately felt a sense of humiliation, and before he could withdraw his men and horses to the city, the next moment he saw the coalition army pulling out the camp and heading south:

"Damn the northerners, you are so stupid! Come. ”

After speaking, the left and right heralds stepped forward:

"Your subordinates are here, what do you command?"

"Command Dekebo outside the city to immediately pursue the northerners."

"Yes!"

As soon as the herald turned around and left, suddenly the mountain shook under his feet, and then there was a deafening explosion, even if it was more than two miles away, it was still a loud roar.

Yabuk was stunned and almost fell headlong, but when he steadied his steps and looked north, he heard a violent explosion again, and a huge fire rose two or three miles to the north, and the smoke of the fierce explosion billowed out.

"What the hell...... What's going on! ”

Yabuk was stunned to see the black-red clouds of smoke rising in the air, and the shock and confusion on his face were beyond measure. At the same time, the explosion also caused the coalition forces to stop and watch.

"Don't even look at it, if you don't want to get a knife, give me a quick walk, hurry up and ......"

The military attache drove the soldiers to continue on their way, while Baili Yan rode a horse, looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the northwest with great enjoyment, and the comfort in his heart jumped on his face:

"This fried is enough for them to drink a pot."

At this time, Jiang Jie put away the binoculars, and his excitement was overflowing:

"My lord, it's collapsed, the northern section of the east gate city wall has collapsed, say less than a hundred steps, this sound is really powerful!"

"It's nothing to collapse dozens of feet of the city wall, but the masonry and rubble flying on the city wall is the place where it kills. The Jin Xuedi people concentrated their forces under the city wall of the East Gate, and if they were to gather together, they would have killed or wounded two or three thousand people, or even more. ”

Bailiyan estimated that the fire that had just risen was fifty or sixty meters high, and its impact radius was proportional to the height, which meant that within a radius of 100 meters, it would be affected, which was equivalent to sitting on a huge bomb.

The coalition forces were urged to move south, and just as Yabuk was almost bleeding from the dead and wounded by the huge explosion just now, with a second violent explosion, an astonishing black mushroom cloud rose from the sky again.

This time, it was closer to the east gate, less than a mile away, and because the explosion was close to the road, the casualties were more severe than the first explosion, and the morale of the army suffered an unprecedented heavy blow.

The pursuers who tried to pursue the coalition forces were hit head-on by the gunpowder canisters of the coalition grenadiers in the third explosion half an hour later, and Bai Liyan was able to lead the army to break away from Calezer and move closer to Gongliangwen.

Three days later, Gongliangwen received the news of Bailiyan's command, and then led his army north, and the two armies met at Yalts Ai Waterfall four days later. Gongliangwen plundered more than 160,000 Central Plains people, of which more than 76,000 were men, and the rest were women, children and teenagers.

For those who refused to accept the troubles and pull the mountain, Gongliangwen was not merciful, and made an example in several places, which greatly deterred the unscrupulous people.

Due to the bloody purge of the first generation of Central Plains citizens in Posong Province, the only few first-generation and most second-generation Central Plains men in Posong Province were all young and middle-aged, which greatly expanded the human resources of the coalition army. At this point, the coalition has become a climate.

IELTS Ai means long hair of a beautiful woman in the Jinxuedi language, which is a metaphor for the magnificence of a waterfall.

On the second day after the meeting, the coalition army began to build six pontoon bridges, and the Zhijun visited Malay to report that 400,000 Jin Xuedi recruits who had driven to the front line from the Guannai arrived at Posong City and were approaching Yashang.

"The enemy is about three hundred and thirty miles away from the IELTS Airland Road in a straight line." Bai Liyan pointed to the map and said: "It takes at least six days for 400,000 people to walk, but the Jinxuedi infantry army is all on horseback, so its 400,000 people can arrive in three days at the earliest, and four or five days at the latest."

If cavalry is with them, their cavalry may arrive first, so our army must make a detour to the lower reaches of the waterfall, build a pontoon bridge to cross the waterfall river, and camp on the east bank to prevent it from crossing the waterfall river. ”

"If this is the case, our army of more than 300,000 people will have to confront the barbarian army across the river here, once the barbarian army besieges the outer edge of the Cupigong Valley and the soldiers and horses detour behind our army, our army will be surrounded on all sides, and the gains will outweigh the losses." Gong Liangwen hit the nail on the head and said, pointing to the valley of Cupigong and continuing to ask: "How many miles is our army from Cupigong now?" ”

"Our army is in the south, and the Khubi Gong is in the northwest of our army, and we need to travel about 300 miles to the northwest, but our army has more than 300,000 people, carrying men and women's baggage, and in any case, they can't outrun the cavalry of the Jinxuedi people, even if they don't cross the waterfall river, our army will still be trapped on the west bank. What is the wisdom of General Gongliang? ”

"Where is the upper reaches of the falls?"

"The upstream is the deep mountain and old forest, this waterfall is more than 20 zhang high and low, and more than 100 zhang wide. The west bank has ordered the scouts to probe, and the brigade cannot go up to the waterfall, and there is a road on the east bank to go up the waterfall, but it is absolutely impossible to allow more than 300,000 people to pass through the road, so it is impossible to climb to the heights. ”

"Where's downstream?"

"Downstream, there are forests and plains, which are conducive to cavalry fighting. At the current pace of our army's march, it would take at least ten days to walk to Khubigon. ”

"Then according to the will of the son, cross the east bank of the river, what should our army do?"

"Our army of more than 300,000 people, as well as livestock, horses, and baggage, even if we set off now, we can walk at most 100 miles in three days, and the cavalry of Jin Xuedi will be able to reach the west bank in the afternoon after the third day, and they will be able to catch up on the fourth day, so our army will not be able to get rid of the pursuit."

"Then Yan Gongzi has ever thought about leaving the pontoon bridge to the barbarian army?"

Bai Liyan was surprised and couldn't help asking:

"What does General Gongliang mean?"

"Our army can leave a group of men and horses to continue the confrontation by the river, and order the brigade to go north. At the same time, a collision raft was built and went down the water, making it impossible to erect a pontoon bridge downstream. ”

Gongliangwen planned to build a pontoon bridge under the waterfall, and then destroy the conditions for setting up pontoon bridges in other parts of the waterfall river with impact felling, forcing the Jinxuedi people to cross the river on the pontoon bridge built by the coalition forces. Even if the navy was mobilized to assist in crossing the river, it would be too late.

In this way, the Jinxuedi people can be temporarily blocked on the west bank of the waterfall, and the coalition forces will leave troops on the east bank to block the Jinxuedi people from crossing the river, and the brigade will continue to move north, and wait until the distance is widened, and then destroy the pontoon bridge, and the coalition forces on the east bank will finally break through.

The reason why the pontoon bridge was retained was that it could continue to occupy the river space and prevent the Jin Xuedi people from erecting a pontoon bridge on the opposite bank.

Second, the initiative of the pontoon bridge across the two banks is in the hands of the coalition forces, if the pontoon bridge is cut after crossing the river, the Jin Xuedi people will set up a pontoon bridge on the west bank, and the coalition forces that stick to the east bank will not be able to withdraw, once they retreat, the Jin Xuedi people will repair the pontoon bridge to the east bank within one day if they are fully prepared.

But if the pontoon bridge continues to exist across both banks, the coalition forces on the east coast can cut the pontoon bridge at any time and cause it to collapse.

Of course, if the Jinxuedi people cut off the pontoon bridge on the east bank, they can also build the bridge themselves, but there are fewer woods along the river on the west bank, and the coalition forces are training the bridge from both sides at the same time, and there are more trees on the east bank, so the east bank is the fastest to build.

After the nearby trees on the West Bank were cut down by the coalition forces, the Jinxuedi people could not obtain timber on the West Bank, so they had to haul it from farther away, which was extremely inconvenient. If the coalition forces cut down and burn all the nearby forests on the west bank, it will be more difficult for the Kinshel people to build pontoon bridges on the west bank in a short time.

Third, not all coastal areas are suitable for building pontoon bridges and bridges, and they must be waters with average flow speed, narrow river surface, and basically the same water surface as the tidal flat ground to meet the conditions for building pontoon bridges.

In the lower reaches of the river north of the Yalts Ai Falls, only four or five miles north of the waterfall are in the middle of the waterfalls, and the coalition forces occupy more than the space.

Further north, the banks are high, and the river level is below the water level, if it is not the rainy season, the water level is suspended from the river bank for some distance, so there are very few places downstream that can meet the needs of building pontoon bridges, unless you go further north to find a place to cross the river

When the pontoon bridge cannot be erected in the downstream in a short time, the ready-made pontoon bridge will force it to seize the bridge, and the coalition forces will be able to hold the pass on the east bank, and the Jinxuedi people will not be able to cross the bridge.

Bailiyan led the army to continue north to Qiu Bigong the next day, and ordered Lu Gao's mixed army and 10,000 coalition troops to stay on the east bank, and assisted Gongliangwen with 30,000 people to guard the pontoon bridge.
