Zhao Gou received a battle report from Yue Fei that the army had arrived at Pingxingling. Books.com ( . V o Dt . c o Mīŧ
Suddenly, Zhao Gou fell into memory, because this Pingxingling was the "Pingxingguan" of later generations. There is Heng Mountain in the north and Wutai Mountain in the south, and Pingxing Ridge is the location of a narrow trench-type depression between the two mountains.
It can be said that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no way to retreat, and the only way to attack is to meet it head-on.
Yue Fei also took a clear look at the surrounding environment before making plans, and the spies he sent out reported: "Report, the general is here except for mountains and mountains, the altitude is very high, it is impossible to make a detour, only this road, unless you enter from Guangling County, attack from behind; If it weren't for the flank attack from Feihu County, it would just be that General Liu was confronting the Liao army, and he lacked skills. â
"Is there really no other way?" Yue Fei said in a deep voice.
The man nodded affirmatively and replied, "There is no other way!" â
Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "General, why don't we contact General Liu and then discuss the battle plan with him!" â
Yue Fei said: "That's fine!" â
So, Yue Fei wrote a letter to Liu Guangshi to discuss the plan with him. Because of the previous battle plan, it didn't work here. Although there is a strategic topographic map, it is difficult to find out an inch of land. Then, he renegotiated with Liu Guangshi, but Han Shizhong was still on the road and had not yet arrived at his destination.
As a result of the discussion between the two of them, Yue Fei sent troops to help Liu Guangshi capture Feihu County, and then after Liu Guangshi took it, he immediately sent troops to support and attack from the side. Because of this, Liu Guangshi immediately sent troops to Pingxingling without Zhao Gou's consent.
After Zhao Gou read the battle report, he was very happy, and the cooperation between Liu Guangshi and Yue Fei was also a great progress. As for Liu Guangshi's failure to rectify Feihu County, Zhao Gou did not blame him. Because this was not a big deal, as long as he wanted, he could immediately send a large army to take over, and it was also to better prevent the Liao army from counterattacking.
"General, General Liu sent someone to say that the army is thinking about marching here!"
Yue Fei was overjoyed and said: "Since this is the case, then Feihu County has been captured, and the next thing is Pingxingling." â
The topography of Pingxingling is indeed a little different from other places, it is really surrounded by mountains, and you can't see other places. In addition, the Pingxing Ridge is at the commanding height of the mountain depression, which means that everything around can be observed through the Pingxing Ridge.
If you rush into the army, there is no wide road ahead, only a narrow road. If there was a real big war, it would be difficult for the Song army to exert its own strength, let alone the problem of heavy deaths. Therefore, Yue Fei has been thinking about what method to use to attack.
Now that Liu Guangshi led the army to come day and night, he knew that the time was ripe. After several days of exploration, Yue Fei finally knew that there were 2,000 troops here, and his own army was more than 10,000. If it is a hard break, there will be countless casualties and a mountain of corpses.
Yue Fei thought about it, but still felt that he couldn't meet it head-on. If they find out the traces of others and others, it will definitely be even more difficult to attack. Within a few days, Yue Fei was so preoccupied that he couldn't sleep, and all he was thinking about was how to capture Pingxingling.
"If you can fly, that's a lot easier!" Yue Fei looked at the sound of birds coming from the mountain peak, and saw the birds flying around, he thought, if he attacked, he would inevitably suffer a severe blow from the front, and if he flew from the sky, it would be different.
Yue Fei suddenly remembered one of the tactics mentioned in the military book, which was the 'Flying Technique'. As long as it is tied tightly with wooden poles, canvas, ropes, it is possible to glide. However, Yue Fei had never tried this tactic. Because, there are many things to consider in this situation, not only the flying parts are firm, but also the weather cooperation, only the wind can fly farther, and it also requires good control, it can be said that this tactic has little practical effect at all.
Now that the appointed time is getting closer and closer, Yue Fei is a little impatient.
If you take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and go to sneak attack, this is the best way. However, it is not so simple to fly past. Now that there is no way back, Yue Fei can only take a risk, and he ordered people to finally complete a glider according to the production method recorded in the book.
It was also said in that military book that this was originally the principle of using a kite with the help of the wind. This method was originally a punishment, and it was also to tie the prisoner or slave to the face and jump directly from the cliff, and the last screams of the bound person could be clearly heard.
Yue Fei ordered someone to make the wings, and the struts and fan bones below were all wooden poles. Since there were no bamboo poles to be found here, all wooden poles were used, and light wooden poles were specially chosen. In fact, it only takes an hour to make such a glider, and it does not have to be too complicated.
When the glider was made, Yue Fei personally tested it, the quality was not good, and he almost killed Yue Fei several times, but he still insisted on supervising the production. Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, Yue Fei finally made a simple glider, and the flight distance was only about 100 meters. However, these were enough, and he immediately ordered someone to hurry up and make it.
After that, another 200 people were selected in the army, and they followed Yue Fei and began to study. Since they all have some martial arts foundation, they learn quickly. Then, Yue Fei ordered them to be the vanguard of the attack on Pingxingling, led by him personally, while Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others quietly approached.
Yue Fei sent someone to deliver a message, informing Yu Liu Guangshi that he would continue to disturb the border, and it was best to arrive here tomorrow. Because, he prepared to set off with a large army to attack Pingxingling.
That night, Yue Fei led 200 people, they took off their heavy military uniforms, all of them set off lightly, taking advantage of the premise that there was a wind in the evening, and ordered people to make a detour to the south of Pingxing, which is also Wutai Mountain. However, they did not go to Wutai Mountain, only halfway up, and after forming a condescending situation, they ordered people to start attacking.
At this moment, most of the Liao army has rested. Although they were ordered to defend this place, they squatted for several nights, but they were still nowhere to be seen. At this moment, the defenders of the city saw a bird-like object flying overhead, and did not pay any attention.
Until more and more people flew in, their direction was Pingxingling. At this time, someone noticed that something was wrong and wanted to prepare to call someone, but it was too late. Because Yue Fei and the others had already led a vanguard force to attack Pingxingling in an all-round way.
"The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming! Enemy ......" Before he finished his words, he was killed by Yue Fei with a sword, and his actions were also a big battle in Pingxingling. This battle was inevitable, which made them have to kill them all with all their might.
In addition, when Yue Fei was attacking Pingxingling, Yue Fei sent out another fireworks, which also allowed Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others to lead the army to attack. Yue Fei and the 200 soldiers resisted the attacks of the Liao army again and again, and Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others also attacked, because they were ambushed at the foot of the Pingxingling Mountain, and they would immediately rush when they received the signal, wanting to capture the Pingxingling in one fell swoop.
