Chapter 168: Regret (2)

The scouts kept shuttling back and forth, and Yuan Shichun was almost waiting outside the Chinese military tent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is the first time that the intelligence agency and the scout have jointly done things, but this is a temporary arrangement, the scout is commanded by Du Xiaoqi, and the intelligence agency is directly responsible for Yuan Shichun.

The location of the joint work between the intelligence agency and the scouts is in the tent next to the Chinese military tent.

The 15,000 men of the former army have all arrived at the eagle's beak and are stationed at the predetermined place.

The 10,000 men of the rear army were stationed in a small village twenty miles away from the county seat of Zhongjiang, responsible for coordinating grain transportation and many logistical matters.

The two armies are stationed in the mountains, their whereabouts are unusually secret, and there are many scouts on the periphery of the army, dressed as ordinary farmers, scouting around, their main target is the merchants, and those who can move outside are the merchants, as for the farmers, they are busy with the autumn harvest at the moment, and they have no time to wander outside.

Wu Shaogang's Chinese military tent is in the middle of a mountainside.

From here, you can observe the surroundings, but outsiders can't see it at all.

The location of the Chinese military tent was personally surveyed and selected by Du Xiaoqi.

According to the information detected by the scouts, it can already be concluded that Liu Heima marched from the direction of Deyang, because the scouts had already found a large number of marching Mongol soldiers on the official road from Hanzhou to Deyang.

To the scout's surprise, these Mongol soldiers did not hide their whereabouts at all, marching with swagger.

To the surprise of the scouts, the Mongol sergeants marched very fast, and the marching procession was very neat, showing an extraordinary momentum.

When Wu Shao first got the information, the Mongolian front army had already arrived at Deyang Mansion and was preparing to march in the direction of the eagle's beak.

The information detected by the scouts was very accurate, the front army of the Mongol army was about 5,000 people, all of them were cavalry, and the marching speed was very fast.

The front army of the Mongol army did not send special scouts, but marched as fast as possible.

This made Wu Shaogang fall into contemplation and confusion, could it be that Liu Heima already had all the information, and there was no need to send scouts to investigate, it is certain that the Mongolian army led by Liu Heima would not be less than 30,000 people, because the front army had 5,000 people, and all of them were cavalry, from the perspective of the distribution habits of troops, the Chinese army was at least 25,000 people, including about 5,000 cavalry and about 20,000 foot soldiers.

Wu Shaogang had a brief discussion with Hao Jing, and Hao Jing, based on his own understanding and familiarity with the Mongolian army, concluded that the total number of the Mongolian army led by Liu Hema should be about 30,000, and the former army sent should be an elite army, which was responsible for opening the way and even attacking the city.

There is not much time left for Wu Shaogang to make a decision.

Whether to let go of the front army and attack the middle army, or concentrate superior forces and attack the front army, ignoring the Chinese army for the time being.

This decision must be made by Wu Shaogang, he is the coach, and it is impossible to consult others on such a major matter.

However, Hao Jing put forward his own suggestion, he suggested that the troops should be concentrated to attack the front army, and it was best to defeat the front army with lightning speed, so Liu Heima, who commanded the Chinese army, would definitely hesitate, after all, the front army of 5,000 people had extraordinary combat effectiveness.

As long as Liu Heima hesitated, the army could calmly deploy and wait for Liu Heima's attack.

Almost in the shortest possible time, Wu Shaogang agreed with Hao Jing's suggestion.

Wu Shaogang only has 15,000 soldiers under his command, facing the 25,000 people of the Mongolian Chinese army, there is no advantage at all, plus the Mongolian front army of 5,000 people, it is also a huge threat, if you let go of the front army to attack the Chinese army, once the front army of 5,000 people come to help, then in terms of troops, Wu Shaogang is at an absolute disadvantage, even if the 10,000 people led by Ma Long are pulled over, there is still no advantage in troops.

But attacking the Mongol front army was different, 15,000 people against 5,000 people, a threefold advantage, plus among these 15,000 people, nearly 10,000 were cavalry, which could completely deal with the 5,000 cavalry of the Mongol front army.

The task of fighting was quickly issued, and at this moment, the Mongolian front army outside the city of Deyang Mansion had already marched in the direction of the eagle's beak under the leadership of You Qianhu.

The topography of the eagle's beak is as its name, the official road in a canyon, there are peaks on both sides, the official road passes through the middle, the entrance place is like the tip of the eagle's beak, it is relatively narrow, and there is a small detour, after entering, the official road is getting wider and wider, and there are a lot of flat land on both sides of the official road.

If you draw it from the picture, it looks like the shape of an eagle's beak.

After passing the eagle's beak, you will enter the place under the jurisdiction of Zhongjiang County.

This is by no means the best place to set up an ambush, in fact, from Deyang to Zhongjiang, the official road of ninety miles, there is no good ambush location, you must know that the cold weapon era of combat, relying on swords, guns and arrows and face-to-face fighting, the personal quality of the sergeant and the strength of the combat effectiveness is the most important.

Whether it is Deyang or Zhongjiang, they all belong to the mountainous terrain, and there are few particularly open plains.

Fighting in mountainous areas has its peculiarities, and it is not easy for cavalry to deploy, but on the other hand, if you want to completely annihilate the cavalry, the difficulty is also huge.

Wu Shaogang's deployment has been completely determined.

Zhang Binghui led 5,000 sergeants, responsible for blocking the entrance after all the 5,000 people of the Mongolian front army entered the eagle's beak, no matter how the Mongol Tatars attacked, they must also defend, and the 10,000 sergeants led by Cai Siwei launched an attack from the front.

Wu Shaogang's deployment made Hao Jing gasp.

Hao Jing still reminded Wu Shaogang that the distance between the Mongolian front army and the Chinese army is not very far, at most about fifty miles, once the front army encounters an attack, the Chinese army will quickly rush to help when it learns the news, Wu Shaogang's arrangement is to completely annihilate the Mongolian front army, so the difficulty of such a battle is huge, the Mongolian front army will definitely fight to the death, and will send a large number of sergeants to pass the news to the Chinese army.

Wu Shaogang still insisted on his own arrangement, his reason was very simple, the Mongolian Tartars who had to fight were afraid, and for a long time in the future, they would not dare to covet Tongchuan Fu Road, so that they could buy time.

Mongolia's Chinese army is indeed a huge threat, but if you think too much, then you will be in a huge passivity, and only by breaking the cauldron and being careful can you let the sergeant burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Hao Jing listened to Wu Shaogang's explanation and stopped talking.

When the combat mission was deployed, Wu Shaogang's face was extremely serious.

Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Du Xiaoqi and others listened very carefully, and their faces were also serious.

This kind of combat method of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat has almost never appeared in the Song army, and any general, when commanding the battle, has a way out of retreat, which is probably the reason why it is difficult for the Song army sergeants to burst out with a huge murderous aura.

Wu Shaogang's side left only fifty guards, and all the rest were sent to the front line to fight.

Cai Siwei and others disagreed, and suggested that Wu Shaogang should leave at least a thousand people around him, this suggestion was categorically rejected by Wu Shaogang, and the identity of the special forces instructor made Wu Shaogang understand that the importance of fighting on the battlefield and the superiority of troops is huge.

There is no time to argue, the deployment has already begun.

Yuan Shichun is still sending information.

What Wu Shaogang didn't expect was that during the march of the Mongol front army, no scouts were still dispatched, and the speed of their march was very fast, almost to the extent that they had no scruples.

Another important news made Wu Shaogang breathe a long sigh of relief.

The distance between the Mongolian front army and the Chinese army should be more than 50 miles, because the speed of the front army's march was too fast, and it seems that the Mongolian officers who commanded the front army fought were eager to make meritorious contributions, and looked forward to being able to enter Zhongjiang County as soon as possible, to capture Zhongjiang County as soon as possible, and to get a good start.

This news is extremely important and very critical, Wu Shaogang ordered Yuan Shichun to find out where the Mongolian Chinese army is and how fast it is marching as quickly as possible.

Cai Siwei, Du Xiaoqi and others all went to prepare, leaving Zhang Binghui behind.

Wu Shaogang's face didn't have too many expressions.

"Zhang Binghui, in this battle, your task is the most arduous, you must firmly guard the entrance of the eagle's beak, and do not allow any Mongolian Tartar to escape from here, once the Mongolian front army is attacked, a large number of sergeants will definitely be sent to report to the Chinese army, as long as you can firmly hold the entrance, Cai Siwei They will have enough time to exterminate the Mongolian front army."

"The subordinates understand that the subordinates must live up to their mission."

"It's good to know, I saw that your face was not good just now, is it that you have not been able to take on the main attack task, and you are a little dissatisfied, if you have such an understanding, it is really dangerous."

Zhang Binghui's face turned red and he clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's just that my subordinates are confused."

"Very good, go and prepare, the Mongolian front army is already about to reach the eagle's beak."

After Zhang Binghui left, Wu Shaogang walked out of the Chinese military tent.

Hao Jing and Lu Xiufu also walked out.

Looking at the direction of the eagle's beak, Wu Shaogang's expression was still a little dignified.

Hao Jing beside him spoke.

"Your Excellency's judgment and deployment are the best, and my subordinates believe that the Mongolian front army is in a catastrophe."

"What Mr. Hao said is that the lower officials also see it this way."

Wu Shaogang's expression was slightly soothed.

"I know that victory must belong to us, but in the process of fighting, any unexpected situation may occur, I have sent a herald to inform Ma Long, asking him to make all preparations, leading the sergeant to march in the direction of the eagle's beak, we can not lose this battle, let alone make any mistakes, only by completely destroying the Mongolian front army, can we really deter the Chinese army, Liu Heima has experienced a hundred battles, not a painful defeat, he can't be shaken at all, if we completely exterminate the Mongolian front army, I believe in the brave Liu Heima, also hesitate, will not start the next battle right away.
