Chapter 639: Danger lurks
In the desert, a group of Han troops marched slowly, marching in the direction of Wolf Juxu Mountain, Hua Mulan looked at the war eagle in the sky, and there was no trace of the Mongolian army for the time being.
Surrounded by the Gobi, the Han army marched along the route of the Battle of Mobei and Huo Qubing to defeat the Xiongnu.
After the outbreak of the Battle of Mobei with the Xiongnu, Chutian returned to Dingxiang County from this route, so he was familiar with this route.
"Let's rest here for now."
Chu Tian ordered the whole army to stop and rest, and then determined the location of the Han army with Zu Chongzhi, who had already entered the desert.
"There are no villages in such places."
Mi Fang dismounted, and the heavy iron armor made him sweat.
"The white-robed army has reached the front, and tonight the five colonels of the Northern Army and the women's army will take turns patrolling. The Women's Army, the Heavy Cavalry Guards, camped on the left and right, and the Tiger Guards were responsible for the guards. ”
Chutian temporary resettlement camp.
The middle route army was 400,000, and the marching army was hundreds of miles long. When he set up camp, Chu Tian could only command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the legions were either in front or lagging behind.
"All the soldiers cheer up, protect the lord, and it is the duty of the five schools of our Northern Army!"
Mi Fang lectured to the five schools of the Northern Army, and all the captains and non-commissioned officers of the five schools of the Northern Army were all solemn.
"The Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army doesn't seem to be very reliable, and we need to be careful."
Hua Mulan caught a glimpse of Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Xing Daorong and other five tiger generals full of confidence, but worried.
"The Great General has stopped marching!"
"We're here too."
Tongque found a river and stationed it by the river to ensure that it could supply water for an army of 100,000 people.
"You're on patrol."
Tongque arranged for several generals to be in charge of patrolling.
The Han army raised a bonfire, and everyone was preoccupied, and they marched in the Gobi for a while, gradually approaching the Wolf Juxu Mountain.
Mobei Dragon City is located in the west of Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is the holy land of the Xiongnu, and is now occupied by Temujin.
The closer it got to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, the more dangerous it became, and Temujin may have deployed heavy troops there.
The Mongol cavalry was uncertain in the steppes, so it was difficult to tell where they would go.
"It seems that last time it was also Mulan and I on an expedition to Mobei."
Chutian remembered the third epic battle, and it was also Hua Mulan who went to Mobei with him.
This time, no less.
Huo Qing sat aside, stirring firewood with a branch, absent-mindedly.
In the darkness, a burst of shouts and killings suddenly broke out, and Chu Tian and the others couldn't help but be alarmed.
Not only Chu Tian and other high-level officials, but all the soldiers were like frightened birds, all of them rose up to fight.
Hua Mulan even pulled out the Tang knife and half-blocked it in front of Chu Tian.
"The whole army must not panic! But the Mongol cavalry raid?! ”
Chu Tian knew that the war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scouts were basically useless at night, so there was a possibility that the Mongol cavalry would raid the Han army for hundreds of miles.
Soon, a cavalryman from the fifth colonel of the Northern Army came back and reported: "When General Xing Daorong was patrolling, he encountered a group of wild wolves and fought with them, so there was such a movement!" ”
“……”
It turned out to be a false alarm, and everyone sat down again.
"Tell the soldiers, don't be surprised, when you encounter a wild wolf, you can use a bow and arrow to drive it away."
Chu Tian was scared out of a cold sweat by Xing Daorong.
Being raided and hand-to-hand by the Mongol cavalry at night was not a good thing.
"My brother took this road in the last battle of Mobei, he fought bravely and won Huo Quai's appreciation."
Huo Qing mentioned her brother.
"Huo An is indeed a little reckless, but only people with this kind of character can mix in the Western Regions. After all, the situation in the Western Regions is somewhat complicated. ”
Fifty miles away from the Han army, a group of wild wolves showed their dark green eyes in the dark, like the master of the night, and there was a wolf howl from time to time.
A large hand stroked the fur of a wild wolf, and the Mongol general Mu Huali emerged from the darkness.
"The Han army is not far ahead, but they seem to have deployed scouts. Use this pack of wild wolves, attract them, and then attack the Han army camp, preferably burning their grain carts. ”
Mu Huali is not afraid of wild wolves, but wild wolves are very docile to them.
Another Mongol general, Subutai, also emerged from the darkness: "The grain wagons of the Han army are left behind, and the Han army in front can be pinned down with a partial division, and then attack its rear with the main force and burn its grain wagons." ”
"The two of us, who will contain and who will attack the grain cart?"
"My cavalry is faster and good at running, and I am best suited to attack the grain wagons."
"Yes."
Mu Huali and Subutai acted separately.
A pack of wild wolves approached the Han camp again, along with the Mongol cavalry, whose figures haunted the darkness......
"Impossible, how can I defeat you......"
In the camp of the Right Route Army, Li Dingguo, a general from Jiaozhou, and Chang Yuchun, a general from Liaodong, fought, and the two of them just competed in force, and as a result, Li Dingguo was defeated by Chang Yuchun, and his wrist holding a gun was numb.
"There are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. Of course, you are powerful in Jiaozhou, but there are still many heroes in the world! ”
Chang Yuchun harvested guns, was strong, defeated Li Dingguo, but he was not complacent.
Li Dingguo followed Jiaozhou Mu Wang Defa to send a limited number of foreign wars, and did not participate in several national wars, and Chang Yuchun has seen countless emperor-level heroes.
Chang Yuchun fought with Lu Bu, Wanyan Aguta, Temujin, Jin Wushu and others, and his vision was naturally much higher.
"I'm convinced of this battle. But marching and fighting may not lose you. ”
Li Dingguo also had a sense of arrogance in his chest.
It's one thing for one's martial arts to fall behind, and it's another thing to command a legion to march and fight.
"Then it depends on this expedition to Mobei, whose combat exploits can be better."
Chang Yuchun is also not afraid, as the number one general of Mingguan, he is not afraid.
"Okay, you have the physical strength to compete here, it is better to save your physical strength to prevent the Jin soldiers or the Mongol cavalry from attacking. We are located between Mobei and the fishing sea, and it is difficult to replenish, and it is a time of vulnerability. ”
Mingguan stopped the two energetic generals, and then set up the camp.
Li Dingguo returned to the camp of the Jiaozhou army.
"That person is indeed a dragon and tiger among people."
Fu Youde caught a glimpse of the battle between Li Dingguo and Chang Yuchun, and knew that Chang Yuchun was a rare fierce general, and suppressed Li Dingguo.
"It's Huang Degong's turn to patrol tonight, don't be careful."
Wang Defa was dissatisfied with Li Dingguo's exhaustion of physical strength in order to compete with Chang Yuchun, but he did not say it explicitly.
Leaving the fishing sea and entering the desert, the scheduled progress of the Right Route Army and the Left Route Army and the Middle Route Army was almost the same, and all generals and soldiers should save as much physical strength and food and grass as possible to avoid being besieged by the Mongol cavalry.
Sometimes, the physical strength of the legion is also very important.
If one side is physically exhausted in the middle of the battle, the other side can quickly gain the upper hand.
"Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou are in charge of patrolling."
Mingguan has also arranged for patrol candidates.
Of the 300,000 troops, at least 30,000 cavalry did not rest, but remained vigilant.
"Wanyan Aguda has been injured, why do he dare to come?"
Zu Dashou led a team of Guanning iron cavalry to patrol ten miles away from the camp, such a distance was enough to inform the army.
Moreover, as a player, Mingguan also arranged a number of dark whistles.
Even if enemy horses avoid the Sentry Gates, the Sentry will detect their every move.
"General, there seems to be a pack of wild wolves there!"
A Guanning iron rider found the turquoise eyes in the darkness and exclaimed to Zu Dashou.
"Come with me and kill them!"
Zu Dashou took off his horned bow and led a team of cavalry to chase the wolf.
In the darkness, Wanyan's cheeks were half-exposed, and beside him, there was a group of wild wolves around, but he was indifferent.
"The Han army is encamped here, and it will definitely be annihilated."
There were dozens of black shadows behind the fight, all of them were generals in armor, each full of murderous aura.
One of the generals limped towards Wanyan Aguta, almost side by side with Wanyan Aguta: "Lord Wanyan, the Great Khan has sent troops to help you this time at the risk of the loss of Hala and Lin and Mobei Dragon City, and I hope that after defeating Mingguan, you will not forget your promise." ”
Wanyan Aguta's expression barely changed: "This king knows that asking the Great Khan for reinforcements requires a sufficient price, and you don't need to make repeated orders." ”
Timur said: "It is good that Lord Wanyan knows. ”
Wanyan Aguta looked at the group of people brought by Timur: "How many captains have you come?" ”
"Eight."
"Eight captains also want to defeat Mingguan? You are underestimating the Liaodong Army, their combat power is strong, and they are not inferior to contain the two kingdoms with their own strength. Together, we have less than 200,000 troops. ”
Wanyan Aguta learned of the number of reinforcements in Timur and couldn't help but be annoyed.
Timur did not smile and said respectfully to an arriving Mongol general; "Lord Batu, Lord Wanyan seems to be unimpressed by your strength."
"Batu, who are you from the Mongol Empire?"
Because of Timur's change of attitude, Wanyan Aguta turned his attention to the Mongol generals led by the darkness.
80,000 Mongol cavalry, the commander does not seem to be Timur, but someone else.
A young Mongol general emerged from the darkness: "In Batu, the Lower Golden Horde, on the order of the Great Khan, I came to help Lord Wanyan and break the Liaodong Army." ”
"...... of the Golden Horde"
Wanyan Aguda was slightly moved, this is a civilization no less than the Jin Kingdom, spanning Eastern Europe, West Asia, Central Asia and other places for hundreds of years.
"Since it's from the Golden Horde, then I'm relieved."
Wanyan Aguda thought that Timur and Batu each brought a group of generals, and felt a little relieved.
"When will the army of the Liao Kingdom come to converge?"
Batu made people light torches and looked around at the people, except for some soldiers and horses of the Jin State and the Golden Horde, there was no trace of the soldiers and horses of the Liao State.
"Hai Dongqing has already sent news that the Liao soldiers will arrive on time tonight."
"The person who leads the team, is it Yelu Abaoji, or Xiao Xuan?"
"Yelu Abaoji."
"Since it is Yelu Abaoji, then this time our three kings will attack the Liaodong Army together, and we will be nine out of ten."
Wanyan Aguda thought of Yelu Abaoji, who was on an equal footing with him, and was immediately relieved.
Batu, as the actual founder of the Golden Horde, also belongs to the same level as Wanyan Aguta and Yelu Abaoji.
This time, it is the real three kings teaming up.
"The Liao soldiers have arrived!"
A Jin State scout cavalry came to report to Wanyan Agu.
In the darkness, a detachment of cavalry was approaching. 100,000 cavalry of the Liao State set out from the Horqin grassland, marched day and night, and successfully joined forces with Batu and Wanyan Agu.
Yelu Abaoji appeared under the support of a group of Liao military generals, and the three kings looked at each other in the firelight, and they all felt each other's extraordinary.
All three have the Monarch trait.
Yelu Abaoji's eyes fell on Timur again, and he faintly noticed that this cowardly general of the Xue army also had the characteristics of a monarch.
Timur was observing the generals brought by Yelu Abaoji.
Jelu Huge, Jelu Slan, Xiao Tart Rin...... And Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Sui noticed Timur's eyes and just smiled slightly.
"Mingguan has hit us hard, and this revenge must be avenged. Defeat Mingguan, and we will carve up Liaodong together. ”
Yelu Abaoji took the initiative to join forces with Wanyan Aguta. Although in his bones, Wanyan Agu's beating brought an uncomfortable feeling to Yelu Abaoji, but Yelu Abaoji knew that if they didn't join forces, they would all be annexed by the Liaodong Army.
There is still a way to survive when they join forces, and if they are defeated, they will become servants of the Liaodong Army.
"We should be able to win."
"It should be, it has to win."
"Can you figure out the camp deployment of the Han army?"
"The Han army set up layers of sentry defenses, and it was impossible to investigate, so it could only simply encircle and raid."
The three kings briefly discussed, and then agreed that the troops would divide into three routes to flank the Han army camp, and end the battle with cavalry when the sky could distinguish between us and the enemy in the early morning.
The Liao army, the Jin soldiers, and the army of the Golden Horde assembled here.
The Golden Horde also had the pressure brought by Catherine's army, so Batu could only invest 80,000 cavalry in the Battle of Mobei.
Even so, Batu thought it was enough.
Among the 80,000 cavalry were the eldest sons of the Mongol Empire.
"Xiao Sui is also in the army, it seems that this time we must fight and make achievements."
Timur was assigned a new group of cowardly Xue troops and Central Asian cavalry, and planned to use this opportunity to train the newly recruited cowardly Xue army, improve their rank, and at the same time make war achievements, and try to climb to the position of commander or vice king of the Mongol Empire.
"This Timur, his eyes are really uncomfortable......"
Xiao Sui noticed Timur's eyes, guessed Timur's thoughts, and felt disgusted, but for the sake of the Triple Alliance, he remained silent.
"Temujin is not necessarily reliable, if Temujin is allowed to defeat the Han Empire, he will most likely annex us."
When Brother Yelu Xiu was resting, he took the initiative to say to Xiao Xuan, Yelu Xianzhen and others.
"Whether it is Temujin or the Han Empire, once it wins, it will swallow the tiger. The strong take all, and the weak can only sit back and wait for them to lose. This is also a helpless thing. ”
Xiao Sui found that although he had the ability, in front of the terrifying empire, a person's ability was limited after all, after all, there were emperor-level commanders and fierce generals everywhere, and there was no shortage of her.
"Defeat Mingguan first." Yelu Abaoji came to the generals, "If we can't even defeat Mingguan, how can we talk about building a big empire." ”
The momentum of all the Liao generals has changed.
The Liaodong Army was a big mountain in front of them.
Xiao Tart-rin asked; "When to strike?"
Xiao Sui said: "At the end of the night, it will be the time when the whole army will attack. ”
