"Quick, climb up, you two are optimistic!" The old boy squatted in the grass under the hillside and shouted in a low voice, "Be careful, don't let the Mongolian Tatars see it, otherwise we won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”

On the other side of the hill, the earth was trembling, and the Mongolian cavalry was slowly moving forward with no end in sight, and the sentry horses were constantly rushing up the hillside, and after watching for a while, they turned to catch up with the group. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but these sentry riders didn't expect that in the grass not far away, there was a hidden enemy they least wanted to find.

"The Mongolian Tartar sentinels have passed two batches, but this group of guys didn't think of the truth that the lights were dark, and they just looked into the distance." A soldier in front of him crawled over and couldn't help but laugh softly and said, "The people lying on the top of the mountain were almost touching their horses' hooves just now, and they didn't notice anyone at all. ”

Lao Tong's eyes widened suddenly, and he lowered his voice and reprimanded: "You can't take it lightly, it was your luck just now, if you step on your waist and hands, I want to see if you can support it!" ”

Suddenly, several young brocade-clothed guards stuck out their tongues, and no one had the courage to refute.

Lao Tong and Lao Guan are known as "Tongguan of Jinyi Guard", this nickname is not called out in vain, not to mention before, this time it was he who sent the news of the deployment of troops in Jingzhao Mansion in time, and took his brothers to fan the flames in the city, which made the Mongolian army in turmoil, and the second impact of the Shence army directly killed the city, so that even the Jingzhao Mansion with an iron gate gate (which can prevent the explosives from blowing up the door) and the urn city had to surrender in front of the red dragon flag.

"How many Mongol Tartars are there?" Lao Tong said in a deep voice. After the death of Prince Zhenjin, Wang Jin had vaguely judged that there were only two possibilities for Mongolia: retreat and death battle, so it was necessary to find out the state of Mongolia's march as soon as possible.

As the Mongol army passed through Chencang Road and withdrew from Hanzhong, the Shence army stationed in Jingzhaofu was also nervous, and the Jinghu army was eager to try in Xiangyang, which made Liu Quan also hurriedly dispatch troops. As soon as the Mongolian army in Tongchuan Prefecture moved, the Sichuan and Shu army, which had just recovered its breath, was naturally not to be outdone, and all the elite veterans who were drawn out went to the front line.

Sichuan and Shaanxi, which had just become peaceful because of the subsidence of several major battles in succession, were once again shrouded in thick war clouds, and now the two sides aimed at each other's vital points of the opponent, and moved the whole body with one shot, as long as there was one side of the wind and grass, the other side would definitely not hesitate to fight to the death.

Regardless of the intermittent 50 years of Mengsong War, there were also several bloody battles between the Ming army and Mongolia this year, and this sudden war has lasted for more than a month.

It is precisely because he knows that once the fight starts, he will rest until death, so Wang Jin is also very cautious, and deliberately sent out the backbone of the brocade guards such as Lao Tong and Lao Guan, and must find out the purpose of the Mongolian Tartars. Otherwise, if a few young brocade guards make a fuss, it won't end well if things get bigger.

"Looking at the past, there were quite a few people, 70,000 or 80,000." One of the soldiers whispered.

Lao Tong suddenly exhaled softly: "Seventy or eighty thousand・・・・・・ looking at it like this, it should be the main force of the Mongolian Tartars, have these Mongolian Tartars raised white flags?" ”

"White flags? The entire queue was black, and there was no coffin in sight of the real golden prince, and I didn't know what these Mongolian Tatars were up to. A tenth general knew what Lao Tong meant, and said with some doubts, "Could it be that the Mongolian Tartars are preparing to mourn secretly?" ”

"Secret?" Lao Tong's eyes widened suddenly, "I'm afraid the news of the death has already reached His Royal Highness King Ming, what are the Mongolian Tartars doing with such great effort and not mourning!" ”

Suddenly, all the young soldiers looked at the old boy in surprise. Just now, everyone ate ice and lay in the snow on the top of the mountain for so long, and watched this Mongolian army pass one after another from the sentry to the rearguard, but they really didn't see a large coffin included. According to the usual Mongolian practice, there should have been a huge wagon in the army to transport the coffin, showing the high respect for the dead.

Lao Tong's fingers were already in the snow, and his brow was furrowed. What does the Mongolian Tartar want to do, although he secretly fought with the Mongolian Tartar when he was in Jingzhao Mansion before, he has never experienced such a difficult situation.

It is impossible for the Mongol Tatars to keep their mourning secret, then there is another possibility, the purpose of their main army is not to go north one after another, but to have other uses. Although this official road is already located in the northwest of Jingzhao Mansion, the northwest and even the north are actually the weak defenses of Jingzhao Mansion, and now the eyes of the Shence Army are on the west.

If such an army of 70,000 or 80,000 suddenly came from the north, it was very likely that the Shence army would be caught off guard at that time.

"No, the whereabouts of the Mongolian Tatars are so strange, there must be a deception." Lao Tong said in a deep voice, "So-and-so will continue to follow with two people, and you will quickly send the news back." ”

Several sentinels who had not experienced a few major battles had already begun to break out in a cold sweat on their spines, and they naturally understood the whereabouts of the seventy or eighty thousand troops, and even the success or failure of the entire Guanzhong War. Such a burden falls on anyone's shoulders, and it can be nervous.

Exhaled, Lao Tong patted the shoulder of the ten generals beside him: "For Da Ming." ”

In the snow nest, all the soldiers muttered and repeated in a low voice at the same time: "For the sake of Da Ming!" ”

Not only for this dynasty, but also for the family standing behind them praying for the safe return of their children, for the sake of peace and tranquility for a long time afterward.

――――――――――――――――

"I don't know the true intentions of the Mongol Tatars?!" Wang Jin slapped the paper in his hand on the table, "So many six doors and brocade guards, as well as our sentry horses, all of them are scattered out one by one, and finally give such a message, what are you doing to eat!" ”

Tang Zhen hurriedly grabbed Wang Jin: "Old Wang, calm down!" We can see the means and abilities of the Six Gates and the Jinyi Guard clearly, and even they can't figure it out, which shows that the Mongolian Tartars must want to make something tricky. And you see, now the main force of the Mongol Tatars has passed through Fengxiang Mansion and arrived in Jingzhou (now Lingtai). Even if the Mongol Tatars want to send troops, what can they shake us? ”

Although Tang Zhen came forward to stop Wang Jin, the generals in charge of the sentry cavalry below couldn't help but bow their heads in shame, and even the people in the six doors and brocade guards, who had always been arrogant, showed a helpless and bitter smile. Wang Jin scolded them for scolding, six gates, Jinyi Wei and Sentinel Cavalry, these are three batches of strength, it stands to reason that so many people are scattered, even if there is a little wind and grass in the Qishan area, they can also be surveyed clearly, but now only a Jinyi Guard has found the main force of the Mongolian Tartars, and the rest of the people have not only found the march path of the rest of the Mongolian army, but not even a single Mongolian figure.

Exhaling lightly, Wang Jin said in a deep voice: "The Mongolian Tatars must want to stab us, Na Muhan and Zhenjin are originally siblings, and they are still young and vigorous age, and they suddenly encounter such a major event, even if Kublai Khan can endure it, it is very likely that Na Muhan will disobey the order." ”

Tang Zhen frowned and looked at Wang Jin: "Then what should I do now?" His Royal Highness King Ming is rushing over from the east with people・・・・・・"

"When King Ming arrives, the daylilies will be cold!" Wang Jin stomped his feet and stretched out his hand to point to Yutu, "We can't wait in fear in this Jingzhao Mansion now. It is necessary to find out where the Mongolian Tatars are. Send out all the cavalry that can be sent, they are not needed to defend the city, and the other six gates and Jinyi guards do not need to hurry to track the main force of the Mongol Tartars now, and they must ensure the safety of the road from Tongguan to Jingzhaofu. ”

Glancing at the map, Tang Zhen took a light breath: "What did you notice?" ”

"It's not right, we can't figure out the reality of the Mongolian Tatars, so we can only rely on luck." Wang Jin replied in a deep voice, "You see that there is another passage to the south of Jingzhao Mansion, which goes straight to Jingzhao Mansion from Hanzhong, and you can attack the city to the west, and cut off the communication between Jingzhao and Tongguan to the east. Once the Mongol Tartars move their main force north and attract our attention, and then draw an elite army from here to kill them, then we can be captured. ”

"Meridian Valley!" Tang Zhen was born in a literati and is well-read, and before he saw the place on the map, he already understood that these three words had blurted out.

Meridian Valley is the most dangerous valley road in the six roads of the Qinling Mountains, its north mouth is called "Zi", it leads directly to Nanshan, it is only 100 miles away from Jingzhao Mansion, and the south mouth is called "noon", which is in Hanzhong. That is to say, if an elite enters the Meridian Valley from Hanzhong, after a trek of six hundred and sixty miles, it can appear under the city of Jingzhaofu by surprise, and it can completely catch the defenders by surprise.

Historically, this Meridian Valley is also famous for Wei Yan's "Meridian Valley Scheme", which has never existed on paper because it has never existed on paper, so historians and military strategists have conducted a lot of discussions on its feasibility, but it has not been conclusive. Just because no one has the opportunity to try it doesn't mean it won't work.

"You say the Mongol Tartars will come out of the Meridian Valley?!" Tang Zhen felt that his hands were trembling a little, if this was the case, it was estimated that the Mongolian Tatars were not far from the valley mouth now, and they were even on the way to kill the city now.

"Just guessing." Wang Jin paced in front of the map, "No one dares to guarantee that there is no such possibility." It depends on whether Namuhan has the ability and guts. If the elite soldiers go to the Meridian Valley and disrupt the defense of the defenders of Jingzhao Mansion by surprise, and then the army that has already reached the front line of Jingzhou suddenly turns back, it is enough for us to drink a pot. ”

Tang Zhen looked at Wang Jin without hesitation: "Where is the coffin of the real golden prince?" According to the information sent back by the sentinels, the coffin of the real golden prince was not found among the main army of the Mongol Tatars・・・・・・"

"Who said that the Mongol Tartars only had these two route armies?" Wang Jin propped up the table with his hand and said lightly, "They can completely send a force to detour to the northwest of the river, not to mention that there are still their cavalry in the west of the river to respond, which is far more stable than Qishan Road." And without the coffin of the real golden prince as an obstacle, Namuhan can completely ・・・・・・"

"Report!" A herald rushed in quickly, "Commander, Marquis Yu, something is wrong, our grain team from Tongguan encountered the Mongolian Tatar cavalry, and it was burned clean, and there were not a few people running back!" ”

"What!" Wang Jin Huo Ran slapped the table.

And Tang Zhen's body shook, and he looked at Wang Jin with difficulty, this guy is too crow-mouthed!

For a while, the entire conference hall was in an uproar.

Wang Jin slowly sat down on the chair and shook his head: "I didn't expect it to be a step slower." ”

Tang Zhen looked at him, his brows already tightened: "What should I do?" ”

If even Wang Jin can't come up with a way, then is there really only one possibility for the Shence army to be surrounded and sit still? The Sichuan Shu army was still a few days to prepare for Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Jue took people to the death in Mianzhu Pass, but the back of the Gundam has not been idle, the grain, grass and equipment of the surrounding state capitals have all been moved over, not to mention, the emergency documents are sent out like snowflakes.

But now that the Mongol Tatars came so suddenly, and the Shence army was on a long journey and an expedition to break through the city, they were already sleepy and tired, where did they still have the energy to defend the city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements? Even the explosives packs of the Flying Thunder Cannon and the arrows of the bed crossbow were not enough, and the grain and grass in the city could only last for three days, and it had always relied on the transportation of grain and grass in the Kanto region.

Once this battle starts, it will be even more difficult and bloody than Chengdu Mansion, and there will be no chance of winning!

Just when everyone was panicking, Wang Jin suddenly reached out and waved all the paper, cups, and even inkstones, pen and ink on the table to the ground, and in a burst of ping-pong sound, including Tang Zhen, everyone looked at Wang Jin in surprise. They had never seen the commander like this, and they were more and more worried in their hearts, could it be that the commander had given up on himself?

Who knew that Wang Jin didn't look at the things scattered on the ground, but walked to the wall, pulled down the map hanging there and spread it on the table, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at everyone present, so that everyone who was seen by him couldn't help but shudder.

The commander's eyes seemed to have a red lotus fire burning.

Wang Jin said coldly: "The Mongolian Tartars have sent themselves to the door, which is what we have dreamed of for so many days." There's no reason not to pay! The Shence Army has been able to get to this day, not by fighting a good fight, don't forget, we have come from adversity step by step to today! ”

There was a sudden silence in the chamber.

No one will forget the glory of Ye Yingwu starting from scratch and leading them to fight bloodily. At that time, which war was not fought to the death, and which war was not fought by small and large!

"Now we are strong, but it doesn't mean that we have no ruthlessness at the beginning!" Wang Jin pressed his hand on the map, and there was a resoluteness in his voice, "Pass a certain order, the front compartment and the left compartment will immediately go south, garrison Lantian, and the right compartment will go north to guard Longshouyuan, and the Chinese army will sit in the city." In addition, all the cavalry of each compartment were drawn out, and a certain one went to Tongguan, so we must open up our grain road! Old Tang, stay in the city and pay attention to the movements of the Quartet. ”

"Open up the grain road or come some-and-so, you stay in the city." Tang Zhen said in a deep voice.

Although the seventy or eighty thousand main forces of the Mongolian Tatars who stayed in the city may be killed at any time, after all, with the Jingzhaofu city wall as the support, and the main force of the Shence Army here, it can definitely be called safe in the short term, and opening up the grain road is to fight with the Mongolian Tatar cavalry who do not know the number in the wilderness, and the slightest carelessness will be the end of the total annihilation, so neither of them wants to let the other party take risks.

Wang Jin pressed the table: "A certain is a commander, you are all waiting, now you have to listen to so-and-so!" ”

Taking a step forward in the face of Wang Jin's gaze, Tang Zhen did not flinch in the slightest: "It's because so-and-so is Du Yuhou, you are the commander, the Shence Army can do without Du Yuhou, but it can't be without the commander!" If so-and-so fails, take the brothers to live, and if so-and-so succeeds, you and I will be in this city! ”

Before the words fell, Tang Zhen flicked his sleeves and strode out, not even giving Wang Jin a chance to argue and refute.

Wang Jin was stunned, and just wanted to catch up, but he could not hold back his pace.

This guy has been in the army for a long time, and he is also good-tempered, and he is no longer the weak scholar who was powerless when he and he first met.

Looking at the dark clouds that were pressed down like thick ink outside, Wang Jin sighed.

This protracted war has changed too many people. Now that Da Ming has come to this position step by step, let yourself draw an imperfect end to this battle.

Looking around, Wang Jin shouted in a deep voice: "Do the order immediately!" ”

"No!" Many generals responded with a bang, and there was a sound on the ground. (To be continued.) )
