Chapter 821: The Wind Rises

On the afternoon of October 11, the commander-in-chief Xu 13 commanded the soldiers of eight regiments, taking advantage of the favorable terrain such as hills, streams, and woods on the road, and setting up ditches, deer barricades, tripping horses, and other means of blocking the attack, trying by all means to delay the attack speed of the Xi Mukun Division.

Before dusk, the control strings of the Mu Kun Department and the Mo Hefu Department entered the Maogou River Realm one after another, and there were still more than ten miles left before the alliance blocking battlefield, and about sixty miles away from Fangcheng.

At this time, more than 30 miles away behind them, Ah Hui was slowly crossing a winding and undulating mountain range with his army, and the eastern part of the mountain range was mountainous, and the peaks were towering into the clouds, which was the vast Mayu Mountain, on the contrary, in the western part of the mountain range, there were endless hills and dense forests, extending for dozens of miles to Suotoushui.

"That's Da Niu Ling." Li Yi saw that Ah Hui was raising his eyes to look west, so he drove forward and pointed with a horsewhip, "Looking across the river is touching Douling." ”

Now the Touching Douling is under the control of the Middle-earthers, and the avenue from Baitan City to Fangcheng passes through the Touching Douling. Ah Hui was looking to the west, apparently worried about reinforcements from within the Great Wall. It has been a few days since receiving the news that the Turks went south to besiege Fangcheng, although the white wolf quickly withdrew to Fangcheng, but this does not prove that there have been no reinforcements in the Great Wall, once the army in the Great Wall roars, with the wolf nature of the Turks, it is impossible to fight with the Middle-earthers. Fighting will definitely not be able to defeat the people of Middle-earth. It was only possible to retreat to Sanhui City, but the situation continued to deteriorate. In the increasingly desperate situation, the Ahui alliance must be divided, and the Xi tribes must choose between the two powerful forces of Middle-earth and Turkic, and as far as the current general trend of Northeast Xinjiang is concerned, Middle-earth is dominant, and the Xi can only surrender to Middle-earth. If the Xi can't escape the fate of surrendering to Middle-earth in the end. What's the point of dying now? Just as the warning issued by Kong Yingda, a famous person in Middle-earth, during the previous negotiations. The longer the time drags on, the less things can be used to bargain, and the more unfavorable it is to the Xi people.

"King, we have no way out, no matter whether there are reinforcements in the Great Wall going north, and no matter whether the Turks want to fight a bloody battle in Anzhou, we have no way out." Li Yi said in a low voice, "The situation between the king and the tribes is very different, and the king surrenders. Nothing, survived, and even died and the clan was wiped out, and the tribes surrendered. They still have their own tribes, and they still enjoy vested interests and even more. This was made clear in the negotiations between the Middle-earthers, from which it is foreseeable that the conditions of the Turks must have been harsher than those of the Middle-earthers. Therefore, if the king wants to reverse the crisis, the only way to fight to the death is to fight to the death, just like the Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms, and lay the foundation for the top with a big victory over Chibi. And today's king can only defend his throne with a victory. ”

When Ah Huizheng heard this, he withdrew his gaze from the west, and looked at each other with Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong beside him, silent, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Li Yi said a pun, in fact, the meaning is very straightforward, persuade him not to look ahead, let alone indecisive, since he is determined to enter the Fangcheng battlefield, then move forward, and at the same time unite with the generals of the tribes and work together, after all, the greater the contradictions, the more conflicts, which is completely unfavorable to himself, for example, now, the former army generals and the rear army commanders are resentful, accusing each other, don't say that the order is forbidden, and even the exchange of voices can't be done, what kind of war is this?

At the moment of the great enemy, which is more important, Ah Huizheng of course knows that even if he can't wipe his face for a while, but from the overall situation, he has to compromise with the Mukun Department and the Mohefu Department, so after a little hesitation, he immediately asked, "How is the situation of the front army?" ”

"From the afternoon onwards, the interception of the Middle-earthers became more and more violent, and the advance army marched more slowly." Feng Hong immediately replied, "Ah Hui Bu has just sent an urgent report, the Mu Kun Department and the Mohefu Department have entered the Maogou River, considering that it is close to Fangcheng, coupled with the dangerous terrain of the Maogou River, the interception of the Middle Earth people is bound to be more tenacious, and the resistance of the front army will become greater and greater, so ......" Feng Hong glanced at Ah Huizheng, who had a cold expression, and cautiously suggested, "It is necessary for us to speed up, rush to Maogou River as soon as possible to camp, reduce the distance with the front army, and give strong support to the front army." ”

Ah Huizheng nodded and made a decisive decision, "Order all departments to speed up the march, and be sure to rush to Maogou River after dusk, and there must be no mistakes." ”

On the night of October 11, in a secluded river valley between Daniuling and Suotoushui, the governors Yue Gao, Gao Hu, and Chi Xiaodou Tieyi successively received urgent reports from scouts, and the front and rear armies of the Xi people had entered Maogou River, and the alliance's encirclement of the Xi army was about to be completed.

The three managers were overjoyed, and Chi Xiaodou Tieyi even burst out with foul language, and scolded Ah Huizheng viciously, "If Xi Yu delays for a few more days, we won't be able to hold on, people and horses are hiding in this kind of grass where birds don't, and we will go crazy after a long time." ”

"Xi Yu is still considered to give face, otherwise our dry food and forage will not be enough, and it will be easy to be exposed after a long time, but fortunately, there is no danger." Yue Gao smiled and said, "Two managers, should we set off when we have eaten and drunk enough, or will we set off after the early morning?" ”

"The night is long and there are many dreams, and when you are full of food and drink, you will set off, and strive to get out of Daniuling before dawn and complete the encirclement." Gao Hu said without hesitation, "Surround Xi Yu first, and then rest, so as not to have an accident and fall short." ”

"Good!" Yue Gao said, "Immediately send people down the river to get in touch with the Humiliation Wang's department, and tell Meng Ba that we will complete the siege tonight and launch an attack tomorrow morning, and ask them to cooperate." ”

The three of them reached an agreement, and the orders were issued quickly and in an orderly manner, and the officers and men of the Third Army of the Alliance and the Second Army of the Thunder quickly entered the pre-battle preparations and were ready to go.

On the morning of October 11, the chief manager Guo Ming and Lu Xingxing led the army out of the Parrot River and easily took the Parrot Village.

Parrot Village is located in the upper reaches of the Wulie River, where Han and Han are mixed, with a population of hundreds, engaged in hunting and harvesting medicinal herbs, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. The Mohefu Department of the Xi Nationality stationed fifty troops here, responsible for protecting the safety of the fortress, but unexpectedly, the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and in the face of thousands of Middle-earth troops, they had no power to fight back at all, so they could only tie their hands down.

Parrot Village is about sixty miles away from Niutoujinkou, and there is a Huixian Mountain in the middle, which is a natural barrier, where the alliance army hides and will not be discovered in the short term, but it is difficult to say after a long time, so Guo Ming and Lu Xingxing immediately sent scouts to Niutoujinkou to inquire about the military situation.

In the middle of the night, the scouts reported that there were a large number of Xi troops in Niutoujinkou, and the number of troops left behind on both sides of the Wulie River was estimated to be tens of thousands, which far exceeded the original expectations, making Guo Ming and Lu Xingxing feel very troubled.

"Ah Hui's main troops were divided into two routes, and he stayed behind to guard Wulieshui with heavy troops to ensure the safety of the retreat, which shows that he did not have the courage to fight to the death." Lu Xingxing shook his head and mocked, "Don't you know that the more you are afraid, the faster you will die."

"I didn't expect Ah Hui to make a wrong move and kill himself." Guo Ming also shook his head and sighed, "Ming Gong thought that Ah Hui was about to go north, and the battle of Maogou River was very difficult, so he outflanked Xi Lu's back road with heavy troops, Meng Ba's humiliation Wang Department controlled the strings, Xin Yigong (Han Shimo)'s leopard cavalry, as well as our tiger ben and hussars, three ways to attack Wulieshui to ensure that Xi Lu would not break through our encirclement, who expected that Ah Hui Zheng was divided into two roads, just gave us each opportunity to break through." ”

"There is no suspense in this battle, Ah Hui is dead." Lu Xingxing said confidently, "As long as we succeed in killing the enemy army on the east bank of Wulie Water and cut off the back road of Ah Hui, the Xi Yu will definitely be wiped out." ”

"Be careful, don't be careless and overturn the boat in the gutter." Guo Ming warned, "Since there are heavy troops on the east bank of Wulieshui, it will be very difficult for us to fight this battle, and if we want to annihilate them all, we must come up with a perfect strategy." ”

Lu Xingxing sneered, "With your two elite divisions, nearly 8,000 soldiers, can't you completely annihilate the East Coast Xi Prisoner?" Do you have to wait for the leopard cavalry on the south bank of the river to cross the river and compete with us for credit? ”

Guo Ming had no intention of arguing with him senselessly, and directly came up with countermeasures, "The other party is the Ma Army, facing head-on, our losses are too great, we will inevitably use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and attack the enemy's weaknesses with our own strengths, such as night attacks, what do you think?" ”

"Although a night attack can defeat Xi Yu in the shortest time, it is difficult to completely annihilate it." Lu Xingxing was a little hesitant.

"Don't be greedy for merit, and don't treat the lives of soldiers as child's play." Guo Ming sharply admonished, "Our most important enemy is the Turks, not Xi Lu, so we not only have to reduce losses and preserve our strength, but also win over Xi Lu and expand our strength. ”

Of course, Lu Xingxing saw the true purpose of Li Fengyun's alliance to humiliate the royal department, so he decisively gave up the greed in his heart, "If it is attacked at night, it can only be tomorrow night, but from the time calculation, there will definitely be a fierce battle in Maogou River tomorrow, Ah Huizheng finds himself encircled, and he is bound to desperately break through, and at the same time, in order to cut off Ah Huizheng's retreat as soon as possible, he will definitely launch an attack on the enemy army on the west bank of Wulieshui." According to the predetermined strategy, we launched an attack on the enemy army on the east bank of Wulie Water at the same time, so as to form a situation of east-west flanking, but if we change the strategy without authorization, the Humiliated King Department will attack alone, and we will have to bear the threat of the enemy army on the east and west sides of the strait to counterattack together, and the loss of the Humiliated King Department will be great, once Mengba is defeated, Xi Lu will go north to meet Ah Huizheng, Ah Hui Zheng will definitely break through and leave, so Xi Lu's army roars down, even if we succeed in the night attack, even if we finally block the Xi Lu army on the west bank of Wulie Shui, our losses are incalculable. ”

Guo Ming nodded, "That makes sense." According to the predetermined policy, Meng Ba will definitely take the initiative to attack tomorrow in order to cooperate with the Maogouchuan battlefield to encircle and annihilate Ah Huizheng. Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Xin Yigong (Han Shige) and Meng Ba are both keeping an eye on Wulieshui, and Ah Hui is staying behind in Wulieshui with heavy troops, they must know earlier than we and come up with countermeasures earlier, so ......"

"So it is possible that Xin Yigong (Han Shige) crossed the river and entered the battlefield in advance." Lu Xingxing comprehended, and immediately followed Guo Ming's words and said, "Under the current situation, if we want to ensure that A Huizheng is encircled and annihilated on the battlefield of Maogou River, we must not only cut off A Huizheng's retreat in the shortest possible time, but also resolutely prevent the enemy army on the west bank of Wulieshui from going north to rescue, and for this reason, we must first do our best to defeat the enemy army on the west bank of Wulieshui, and to achieve this goal, it is obviously not enough to rely on Mengba's humiliation of the king to control the strings, this point should be very clear to Xin Yigong, so it is very likely that he will cross the river to participate in the war." ”

Guo Ming pondered for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let's brainstorm and immediately convene a meeting of the unified army and other generals to discuss the strategy of attacking the enemy tomorrow." ”
