Chapter 170: Regret (4)

The front army left the city of Deyang and headed towards the eagle's beak, and they marched so fast that a large amount of dust was raised on the official road, so that the sergeants at the back of the line had to temporarily cover their mouths and noses with their hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

You Qianhu was in the middle of the team, also bothered by the yellow sand raised, but he was used to this situation.

The march of the former army this time was not only fast, but also did not send many scouts to reconnoitre.

You Qianhu didn't have such a big self-confidence, all of this was made by Liu Heima before he set off, Liu Heima decided that the Song army was a turtle with a shrunken head, and there was no Song army stationed in Zhongjiang County at all, so the front army needed to capture Zhongjiang County as quickly as possible and gain a firm foothold, and then the army could successfully attack Tongchuan Fucheng.

You Qianhu is still a little more cautious, every day when he starts to march, he will send a small number of cavalry to reconnoitre, but starting from Chengdu Fucheng, until now, the march is unusually smooth, of course, now the former army is still marching within the jurisdiction of Chengdu Fulu, as for leaving Deyang Mansion and entering Zhongjiang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Tongchuan Mansion, what will happen to you, You Qianhu still has a little worry.

It's only ten miles from the eagle's beak.

You Qianhu stopped again, and the deputy Qianhu next to him followed, as for the many sergeants, they were still marching towards the front, and they did not slow down their pace at all.

There was the sound of horses' hooves all around, and it was a bit chaotic.

One day later is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and You Qianhu's plan is to let the former army sergeants spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Zhongjiang County.

In this regard, You Qianhu has sufficient self-confidence, in a county like Zhongjiang County, there is no regular Song army to guard and defend, that is, some head-catchers in the city, as well as local stragglers, these people do not have the slightest combat ability, I am afraid that the attack of the front army has just been rolled out, and the officials in the city will choose to open the city gate and surrender.

It was past noon, and there were still about 70 miles away from the county seat of Zhongjiang, so whether to choose to set up camp in the middle of the way, or choose to arrive at the county seat of Zhongjiang, at least surround the entire county seat, and wait until dawn the next day to attack.

This requires You Qianhu to make a decision.

After a short thought, You Qianhu spoke to the deputy Qianhu beside him.

"The front army must maintain the rhythm of rapid marching, arrive at Zhongjiang County before dark, and surround Zhongjiang County, so it will not attack today, and will launch an attack on the county seat early tomorrow morning."

The deputy Qianhu beside him showed hesitation again.

"Lord Qianhu, in front is the eagle's beak, after the eagle's beak, it is Zhongjiang County controlled by the Song army, the front army needs to be extra careful, if the Song army is prepared...

You Qianhu turned his head to look at Deputy Qianhu, his eyes were very bad.

"The front army is the most elite army in the army, the sergeants are brave in battle, even if the Song army is prepared, is it still worried that the Song army will set up an ambush, in terms of their combat effectiveness, where is the opponent of the front army, besides, the army enters Zhongjiang County, it is impossible to hide its whereabouts, sooner or later it will be exposed, if we are too careful, causing the officials in Zhongjiang County to quickly evacuate, take away money and grain and grass, and flee to Tongchuan City, leaving an empty city, wouldn't it be more difficult for us to attack Tongchuan City."

Deputy Qianhu shut up again, You Qianhu made sense, the five thousand soldiers of the former army, who fought hard, did not hope that after taking Zhongjiang County, they could have a lot of gains, if they took an empty city, the morale of the sergeants would definitely be frustrated.

Of course, Deputy Qianhu also knew that even if the Great Song officials in Zhongjiang County evacuated towards Tongchuan Prefecture, they would not be able to escape, and the army chased after them, and all of these people were prisoners.

However, attitude is very important, and the former army rushed to Zhongjiang County with great momentum and morale, and its anger could not be vented.

You Qianhu has a lot of opinions on the deputy Qianhu around him, this deputy Qianhu is too conservative, I don't know his thoughts, and I don't understand the thoughts of the handsome Liu Heima, he is always chirping, no wonder he is a lot older, and his qualifications are not shallow, and he is still a deputy Qianhu, and he can't be promoted.

"Okay, Deputy Qianhu, you lead the sergeants in the march at the front of the team, and I will command in the center, and tell all the brothers that they must arrive in Zhongjiang County before dark, and there must be no mistake."

In front of the Chinese army's tent, Wu Shaogang had already seen the yellow sand in the air.

At most, a quarter of an hour will be before the Mongol front army will enter the eagle's beak.

The scouts were already rushing to the limit, constantly reporting the news, which made Wu Shaogang feel unbelievable that the Mongolian army did not send any scouts to investigate, and swaggered towards the eagle's beak.

Could it be that the Meng army is so confident, is Liu Heima so confident, and the Meng army thinks that he can be invincible.

This question has always haunted Wu Shaogang's mind.

Hao Jing beside him has already taken off the hat and black yarn, and at this moment, the Chinese military tent, except for Yuan Shichun, who can come to report the news, the rest of the people can no longer get close, after all, the Chinese military tent is the best hub place, and it must not be exposed, otherwise the Mongolian army will directly attack the Chinese military tent, which may cause devastating consequences.

"Mr. Hao, isn't it possible that the Mongolian army doesn't like to send scouts to investigate?"

Hao Jing's expression was a little calm, but there was a hint of expectation in the calm, he hoped that his choice was not wrong, and this battle would prove everything.

"My lord, the Mongolian army should send scouts to fight, even if the Mongolian army is fighting, it is also very important to pay attention to reconnaissance, reconnaissance on the grassland is more important, where there are water and grass, which places are suitable for camping, all need to be investigated, Liu Heima's former army is so unscrupulous, his subordinates also feel strange, after thinking about it carefully, there are some answers."

"Please also sir analyze and analyze."

"Liu Heima has experienced a hundred battles, it is said that he should not do this, the former army of the Mongolian army is so unscrupulous, it must be Liu Heima's arrangement, otherwise the generals who lead the troops will not dare to do this, so the subordinates analyze, Liu Heima is looking forward to a quick victory, looking forward to victory, but this also makes some sense, even if you want to win the victory, you need to be cautious when you really fight."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, he also couldn't figure it out in this regard.

"The subordinates can only think that Liu Heima has some unspeakable reason, so he decided to do this."

"Well, sir's analysis is good, Liu Heima must have an extremely urgent psychology, hoping to be able to take Tongchuan Mansion City in the shortest possible time, I analyze three reasons, one is that Liu Heima looks down on the combat effectiveness of the Song army at all, thinking that the Song army is vulnerable, the second is that Liu Heima must take Tongchuan Mansion City as quickly as possible, so that the imperial army rushing to help has no time to act, and the third is that Liu Heima thinks that there will not be many soldiers in Zhongjiang County and Tongchuan Mansion City."

"Your Excellency analyzes that."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, with a relieved smile on his face.

I haven't had a smile like this in a long time.

Hao Jing's face also showed a smile.

Only Lu Xiufu didn't understand very well and couldn't help but speak.

"My lord has thought of something happy about, can you talk about it, and the lower officials are also happy."

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing and spoke with a smile.

"The front army of the Mongolian army marched so quickly, and did not even send scouts to reconnoiter along the road, which shows that they have an extremely urgent mentality, thinking about capturing Zhongjiang County and Tongchuan Mansion as soon as possible, including Liu Heima, but their move also shows another problem, that is, Liu Heima believes that there is no large-scale Song army in Tongchuan Prefecture, so they can have no scruples."

Hao Jing nodded, and Lu Xiufu suddenly realized.

"What my lord said is that the lower officials understood, our army rushed to fight at the eagle's beak, and the Mongol Tatars didn't know at all, they were still marching with a swagger, and they had no preparations, so that the attack of our army would catch the Mongol Tatars off guard."

Hao Jing looked at Lu Xiufu and then spoke.

"My lord just thought of this, so he was happy, if there was no accident in this battle, the front army of the Mongolian army would be in a catastrophe."

Wu Shaogang nodded again.

"Yes, what we need to pay attention to now is two things, one is that what is the position of the Mongolian army's Chinese army, how much distance is it from the front army, this point must be investigated, the time has passed, according to the situation we have, the Mongolian army should be encamped, so the distance between them and the front army, more and more widened, our time is sufficient, from now on, until tomorrow's time, enough."

"Second, we must do our best, we must completely annihilate the front army of the Mongolian army, although the front army of the Mongolian army is only 5,000 people, but all of them are cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is strong, we must not take it lightly, miss the opportunity, Ma Long led the Chinese army, and can rush to the eagle's beak at the right time, and then depending on the situation, the Chinese army can also join the battle."

Wu Shaogang's capital this time was very heavy, and he did not leave any reserves, 25,000 against 5,000 people, he had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and the arrangement of time and fighters was also the best.

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Hao Jing followed and spoke.

"My lord, the terrain of the eagle's beak is special, and it can't accommodate nearly 30,000 people to fight in it, and the subordinates believe that the 10,000 Chinese army led by Commander Ma can be divided into 5,000 people, which will be commanded by Deputy Zhang Du, and guard the entrance of the eagle's beak to prevent the Mongolian sergeants from escaping, and the other 5,000 people will join the battle as a reserve when the Mongolian army completely collapses."

"Mr. Hao's suggestion is very good, just follow this deployment, Yuan Shichun, quickly order the herald, inform Ma Long of this order, the Chinese army must arrive at the eagle's beak before the unitary time, the soldiers are divided into two routes, 5,000 people are under the command of Zhang Binghui, and the 5,000 people are on standby, waiting for the attack order."

Yuan Shichun was ordered to go and give the order.

Wu Shaogang let out a long breath, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked in the direction of the eagle's beak, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, which was the light of expectation.

A tragic battle is about to unfold. (To be continued.) )
