Chapter 437: Mongol Invasion
Although he expected the loss of Datong, he felt that as the head of the nine sides, no matter how he could resist it for ten days and a half months, when Qiu Luan's reinforcements arrived, coupled with the reinforcements transferred from the direction of the Beijing Division in Guannei, it was not impossible to break Mongolia, at least to hold Datong, after all, the Mongolian cavalry fought fiercely in the field, but in the face of Jiancheng, it was powerless.
But now it's good, the same day will be lost, this time the morale of the Mongolian army can be higher than the sky, and if the Mongolian cavalry really has 100,000 people, in the nine sides of the rich and prosperous Datong Town around a plunder, there is no need to worry about logistics and supplies, when the time comes, Qiu Luan don't say to cut off people's back roads, don't set up ambushes for people to eat all, even if you burn high incense.
After thinking about it, there is no good way, Lu Bing is now doing a rush to Beijing, informing the emperor of this matter, and withdrawing all the three battalions outside Beijing into the city for defense, it seems that the only way, the three battalions of the wolf have also seen, the combat effectiveness is still inferior to the border army of Xuanfu, and most of them are old and weak, and the Mongolian soldiers fight in the field, which is tantamount to driving sheep into the tiger's mouth.
The Heavenly Wolf sighed, this kind of military affairs was beyond his ability, he thought of the results of the battle that night, looked at Feng Wu, and asked: "It's useless to think about these things, I can only pray for God's help, after we left that day, how was the battle in that camp?" A big battle between Leng Tianxiong and Helian Ba, who wins and who loses in the end? Listen to the townspeople. At that time, there were more than 1,000, what happened? ”
Feng Wu smiled: "Just a moment after you left, the reinforcements from the Xuanfu will arrive." After Leng Tianxiong and Helianba fought for a while, regardless of victory or defeat, Helianba saw the cavalry of our army attacking, and hurriedly grabbed a few horses with his two brothers. Fled to the east. ”
And Qiu Luan crawled out of the big tent, disgraced, he thought that Leng Tianxiong and Qu Caifeng were the people sent by Yan Song to harm him. Once he got in touch with his subordinates, he ordered these sergeants to attack Leng Tianxiong and the others in turn, saying that they were Mongol spies and kidnapped him to come to Guanwai. Leng Tianxiong suffered a dumb loss. Shot more than 100 people at once, you must know that on the battlefield, bows and arrows are flying sideways, iron cavalry rushing to kill, no matter how good your martial arts are, you can't play it, and finally Leng Tianxiong and his subordinates fought desperately to open a bloody road, broke out of the encirclement, and disappeared. ”
Sirius let out a sigh of relief. He could think of the thrilling at that time: "I'm afraid that Qiu Luan is afraid that Leng Tianxiong and others will reveal the matter of peace talks with the Mongols in front of Leng Tianxiong and others, so he will strike first." If you want to kill people and kill people, this person has a sensitive mind and a black belly like a scorpion, but it is a pity that he is not used for the right path. After repelling the Mongols this time, the first person to be eliminated must be this person. ”
Feng Wu smiled slightly: "That's later, I think we still have to think about how to get through this crisis now, Sky Wolf, the commander-in-chief let us stay, find a way to stop the advance of the Mongolian army, if not, go back to Beijing to meet him, he also said that this time we have all made a big mistake, this is when we will atone for our crimes, if we do not do well, the two crimes will be punished together, and we will be punished heavily after returning to Beijing." ”
The wolf smiled bitterly: "Why are you going to be punished heavily?" Obviously, I made an appointment with him before leaving the customs this time, and if I can disrupt the joint negotiation between Qiu Luan and Altan Khan, it will be considered a crime. ”
Feng Wu blinked: "Did you know our commander-in-chief on the first day?" Now that the Mongol soldiers have broken through, in fact, our operation was a failure, because although Qiu Luan and Altan Khan turned against each other, they did not let Altan stop attacking Datong and take the pace of the Beijing division. Now the commander-in-chief wants to return to Beijing to defend the emperor, and this task of containing the Mongolian army can only count on you, as for me, I will stay to monitor you. ”
The wolf couldn't cry and laughed: "You sneaked out of the headquarters in the capital this time, this crime is much bigger than mine, I finally offered a clever plan to let Altan Khan and Qiu Luan kill each other, but because you encountered a sandstorm and came back a day late, you have become the object of your surveillance?" And there is no heavenly reason!"
Feng Wu proudly puffed up his chest and said triumphantly: "Hehe, you can explain this to the commander-in-chief yourself in the future, he is now gone anyway, and you haven't come back before he leaves, he was very angry at that time, saying that if it was on the battlefield, he would have beheaded you, if I hadn't interceded for you, I was afraid that he would really kill you this time, after all, now that the state affairs are like this, can you expect him to be in a good mood?" ”
The wolf was silent, thinking that this was indeed the case, he raised his head and said, "Then why don't you go back with the commander-in-chief?" Didn't you say that you should try to distance yourself from me so that he would not have a misunderstanding? ”
Feng Wu's face flushed slightly: "You idiot, now Jinyi Wei is up and down, besides me, who else will look at you pleasing to the eye?" You are now the number one celebrity in the brocade guard, and you are loved by the commander-in-chief, how many people want to take this opportunity to step on you fiercely. If I hadn't stayed, but changed the deputy commander-in-chief Daklin or Murong Wu to stay, I'm afraid that if you don't die, you'll have to lose your skin. ”
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Sky Wolf, and he said coldly: "I want to see who has the ability to take my Sky Wolf's life!" Those who are not afraid of death can let the horses come. ”
Feng Wu shook his head: "Look at you, here you are again, yes, you are indeed a martial artist, they can't harm your life, but if you deliberately make a stumbling block, such as asking you to assassinate Altan Khan, or to burn the grain and grass of the Mongols, do this kind of mortal task, will you go?" Even if you can pick up a life and come back, as long as you can't complete the task, you will still be court-martialed. Sky Wolf, you want to serve the country now, not to be angry with others, right? ”
Heavenly Wolf sighed: "What you said makes sense, I am indeed impatient now, Feng Wu, it may be that I heard that the Mongolian army broke through the pass today, and there was a lot of chaos, so I said this kind of thing, sorry." ”
Feng Wu nodded: "Sky Wolf, you are extremely smart, but your personality is not calm enough, but this is also what I like about you, if you are really so scheming, joy and anger are not visible in color, then you will lose your most valuable straightforwardness, the kind of person who wears a mask and plays intrigues, I Feng Wu has seen too much, even if your martial arts are strong and your status is high, I will not be rare." ”
The sky wolf looked at Feng Wu, her color was very calm, obviously this passage just now was said after careful consideration, it was definitely not a momentary idea, and her eyes were full of love, just like a young girl with a spring look at her lover with an infatuated face.
Sky Wolf turned his head, avoiding her fiery gaze, and changed the subject: "Then what do you say we should do now?" What could be done to contain and defeat the Mongol army? ”
Feng Wu said: "I think the first thing we have to do now is to keep up with the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army is a full cavalry people, not like our Central Plains army mixed with foot and horse, to drive heavy carts and a large amount of grain and grass, their war horses come and go like the wind, and the cavalry is to carry dried meat that can be eaten for about a month as dry food, so our common method of burning military food in the Central Plains will not work for Mongolian soldiers." ”
"After catching up with the Mongol army, there are only two things that can be done, one is to inquire about the enemy's battle plan, find out their march route, and inform us. The second is to take the opportunity to assassinate the Mongol Khan or the general, if our luck is good enough to kill Altan Khan, then the Mongol army will have to withdraw if it does not withdraw. ”
The Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "It's not easy to talk about, this time the three brothers of Helian Ba are all by Alta's side, and judging from the scene of this secret conversation between Altan Khan and Qiu Luan, those Mongolian warriors are not weak, and their strength is at least above the level of elite disciples of the Good and Evil Sect." And I heard that the Mongols used stand-ins to confuse the enemy when they marched and fought, 100,000 troops, tens of thousands of yurts, and dozens of miles of company camps, and we didn't understand Mongolian, how could we sneak into the barracks, find me and assassinate them? ”
A sly glint flashed in Feng Wu's eyes: "When the time comes, you will look at me." (To be continued......)
