Chapter 6: Race against time!
"Then what if you go from the direction of Yin Mountain and go directly over the Evil Yang Ridge?" Zhao Chen stared at the location of the Han Ting on the map, and the three people in the military tent who heard it were still discussing the detour, and they were silent for a long time, and then raised their heads to look at Li Jing and asked.
The location of the Turkic Han Court is just on the north side of the Yin Mountain, and the south side where they are located is exactly separated by a Yin Mountain.
"It's not a good idea!" However, when Zhao Chen's words fell, Li Jing didn't wait to speak, but the old lieutenant Chi Gong on the side had already shook his head and opened his mouth with a solemn face.
Then, without waiting for Zhao Chen to ask, he pointed to the Yin Mountain on the map and said: "The Yin Mountain Range, the mountains are steep, if the army wants to directly climb over the Yin Mountain, it is simply impossible!" ”
"Hmm!" When the old lieutenant Chi Gong said this, Duan Zhixuan on the side also interjected: "Actually, it is not impossible to directly cross Yin Mountain, but the army can cross the past only when the horses are abandoned!" ”
The mountains are steep, and in some places there are ditches and ditches, if you abandon the horses and just rely on the two legs of the army, then, as Duan Zhixuan said, it is not impossible to climb over the Yin Mountain.
It's just that once the horses are abandoned, even if the army can cross over and reach the rear of the Han Court, how can it be?
With only two legs, you have to fight with the cavalry of the Turks?
Obviously impossible!
"What then?" Yin Mountain can not be crossed, and it is impossible to make a detour to hit Han Ting directly, Zhao Chen stared at the map on the handsome case, and asked with a frown.
"Over the Yin Mountain. It's not impossible! Zhao Chen's words fell, and Li Jing, who had been silent, suddenly frowned. Looking at the map on the table, he said in a deep voice: "When Your Majesty formed an alliance with Tuli back then, it was from Yin Mountain, have you forgotten?" ”
As soon as Li Jing's words came out, the expressions on the faces of the old lieutenant Chi Gong and Duan Zhixuan were both slightly stunned. There was a moment of distraction and surprise in his eyes.
Zhao Chen's expression couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Thinking of Li Jing's words in his mind, after a while, he remembered that Li Er had been in the Wude period. There was an alliance with Tuli.
That should be a matter of seven or eight years of martial arts. The Turks attacked the Tang Dynasty on a large scale, and for a time the soldiers were in danger, and Li Yuan sent Li Er to follow Jiancheng at that time, and at the same time went to the north to defend.
And at this time, coinciding with the chaos in Jiangnan Province, Datang became an enemy at home and abroad for a while, and Li Yuan had to concentrate his energy as a last resort. Started to put it in Gangnam.
As a result, the Turks attacked the Tang Dynasty. Returning with a full load, I want to reconcile and enjoy it at this time;
And Datang was anxious to quell the Jiangnan Rebellion, and also wanted to transfer troops to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, and in the end, the two sides hit it off, and a reconciliation was reached.
Subsequently, Li Er, as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, led people into Yinshan Mountain, along a canyon in the Yinshan Mountain Range, and went north to form an alliance with Tuli.
And what Li Jing said at this time was the Yinshan Canyon that Li Er took people away at the beginning!
If the army chooses this canyon to go north, then it can go directly to the Evil Yang Ridge, and then cross the Evil Yang Ridge, and at the bottom of the mountain is where the Turkic Han Court is located!
When Zhao Chen heard Li Jing's words, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the map again, but unfortunately, the map only marked the approximate mountain-shaped leyline, and he couldn't see the specific terrain at all.
"It's too risky!" However, Li Jing's words fell, and after thinking slightly, the old lieutenant Chi Gong suddenly shook his head with a solemn face and vetoed.
"Why?" Zhao Chen already felt that this method was the best solution at present, but as a result, when he heard that the old lieutenant Chi Gong would veto it, he suddenly asked in surprise.
Old Lieutenant Chi Gong's voice fell, but Li Jing, who was sitting there, was silent, staring at the map on the table, without saying a word, obviously, as the old lieutenant Chi Gong said, this method is a bit too risky.
"This canyon old man knows!" The old lieutenant Chi Gong frowned, and said with a slight sigh: "There are lofty mountains on both sides, once the army enters the canyon, there is only one way forward, and there is no chance to retreat at all!" ”
"General Wei Chi is right!" Li Jing, who was originally silent, also took a breath at this time, his fingers followed the Yin Mountain on the map, diagonally upward, and said with a frown: "There are extremely high peaks on both sides of the canyon, once the army enters, then you can only get out of the canyon by crossing the Evil Yang Ridge, otherwise you will be trapped in the canyon!" ”
When Zhao Chen heard Li Jing's words, he immediately gasped, and finally understood why the old lieutenant Chi Gong said that Li Jing's method would be too risky, so he categorically vetoed it.
If it is really as the old lieutenant Chi Gong said to Li Jing, the situation in the canyon is really like this, then it is not an adventure.
Rather, they are gambling with the lives of tens of thousands of people in the army!
Once an army of tens of thousands of people enters the canyon, if everything goes well, it will be fine to go straight to the Evil Sun Ridge.
But once the Turks discover the whereabouts of the army, the consequences are unimaginable, as long as the Turks attack in front, the entire canyon will probably become the grave of the Tang army.
In the big tent, there was silence for a while, and several methods were rejected one after another, and the army fell into anxiety all of a sudden, and several people in the big tent were all clueless.
"Let's go back first!" Seeing that the sky outside was already cloudy, several people in the big tent were all silent, and they couldn't say why, in the end, Li Jing had to sigh, raised his head and looked at Zhao Chen and the others and said.
"There's always a way!" When the old lieutenant Chi Gong heard Li Jing's words, he simply stood up neatly, and said comforting as if he was walking towards the outside of the military tent.
Zhao Chen saw that the old lieutenant Chi Gong got up to leave, and he also stood up, said goodbye to Li Jing, and then came out of the military tent and went back to his military tent directly.
From the early morning when he was called to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the matter, it was a full hour, and when he came back at this time, it was already dawn.
When Zhao Chen returned to the camp, several early fireheads were preparing breakfast, and the whole camp was wafting with the smell of food mixed with cooking smoke.
The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army had already been accustomed to getting up early to train in the new military camp, but at this time, when the other people in the camp were still lying on the couch, the Flying Tiger Army had already gotten up early and completed the morning run under the leadership of Zhu Youliang.
When Zhao Chen entered, Cheng Chumo and others, who had just finished their morning run, were brushing their teeth and washing their faces there, and when they saw Zhao Chen coming in, they immediately raised their heads, took a mouthful of toothpaste foam, and smirked at Zhao Chen.
However, Zhao Chen seemed a little in a low mood because of what happened just now, and as soon as he entered the camp, he went back to his military tent directly, and naturally he didn't notice the funny things of Cheng Chumo and the others.
Probably, he felt that Zhao Chen's mood was not high, and then, Cheng Chumo walked into Zhao Chen's military tent, looked at Zhao Chen lying on the couch, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
What happened just now belongs to the secret of the army, and it is easy not to leak it out, but Cheng Chumo is his brother, and he knows the severity, so he will not say it.
So, when Zhao Chen heard Cheng Chumo's words, he turned over and sat up from the couch, pointed to the opposite position, motioned for Cheng Chumo to sit down, and told Cheng Chumo what was in the military tent just now.
"What then?" Cheng Chumo listened to Zhao Chen's words, and just now he had an indifferent face, but at this time, like Zhao Chen, he frowned and looked at Zhao Chen.
"I can only wait for news from the British Princess!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at Cheng Chumo, sighed and said.
This time, the Sixth Route Army, the Middle Route Army where Li Jing is located, and the Eastern Route Army led by Li Ji are the main forces attacking the Turks this time.
"If you want me to say, then you might as well go straight into the canyon!" Cheng Chumo pinched his nostrils with his fingers and said lazily: "Then you must be Turkic, can you find us?" Maybe by the time he finds out, we've already copied his back road! ”
"To put it mildly, that's tens of thousands of lives!" When Zhao Chen heard Cheng Chumo's words, he couldn't help but pouted and smiled: "If so, if something really goes wrong, who can afford this responsibility!" ”
While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and then, Zhao Chen's bureaucrats came in to report, saying that the chief manager had sent someone to invite them, and they were about to go to the big tent to discuss matters.
"There's news!" Zhao Chen just left the big tent, Li Jing sent someone to invite again, there is no doubt that there is news from Li Ji's side, Zhao Chen thought of this, then stood up from the couch and walked towards the outside of the tent.
However, when he was about to walk out of the tent door, Zhao Chen suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and frowned at Cheng Chumo, and asked, "Where did you wipe your nose just now?" ”
Subsequently, when he saw Cheng Chumo's gaze and subconsciously looked at his couch, Zhao Chen suddenly became angry, pointed at Cheng Chumo and said, "Come back and settle accounts with you!" ”
When these words fell, Zhao Chen didn't bother to reason with Cheng Chumo anymore, turned around and rushed towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
"It's too late to wait!" In the big tent, Li Jing was standing behind the handsome case at this moment, his face was gloomy and terrible, and when Zhao Chen and the old lieutenant Chi Gong all came in, as soon as they spoke, they looked at the three of them and said.
Without waiting for the three of them to speak, Li Jing shook a piece of paper in his hand and further explained: "I just received a telegram from the British duke, where the Yellow River moraine has begun to snow, and there is not much time left for us!" ”
The moraine is located in the north of Yinshan, the north is a desolate desert, the south is the rushing Yellow River, and to the east is where the Turkic Han court is located, which is considered to have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Turks.
At this time, snow fell at the mouth of the moraine, which means that the south side where they are located, there is not much time for snow to fall, and it is estimated that there may be a large area of snow in these ten days and a half months.
And once the snow falls, the entire army will be trapped here, and only when the snow completely stops, then decide whether to attack the Turks.
It is impossible for the army to be so endlessly delayed here, so the best thing to do is to act before the snow falls! (To be continued.) )
