One is prosperous, then it is declining, and three is exhausted.

The Jin army suffered setbacks in Jiayue Town, and suffered two more defeats in Mengtong Town, with heavy losses in soldiers and even lower morale.

At this point, even ordinary Jin soldiers knew that the prospects were not good. If they can't make a breakthrough from these two towns, they will be trapped here.

Of course, this is not a certain death, there is still a road to death, that is, to get out of the mountains, forests and hills where there is no road.

There is no road in this world, but when there are many people walking, it becomes a road......

Of course, Wanyan and his subordinate generals don't know this sentence, and even if they do, I'm afraid they won't make this choice, it's too.

But the practical difficulties still have to be solved, whether to continue to attack Meng Tong Town, or to return to attack Jia Yue Town, although it is not easy, but the choice must be made after the end of the fallacy.

The fortifications of Mengtong Town are relatively rudimentary, but the firepower is stronger, and the troops seem to be abundant; The artillery fire of Jia Yuezhen was slightly weaker, but the fortifications were complete.

Wan Yan didn't want to toss back and forth, but when he saw the expressions of the generals, he reluctantly changed his mind.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of Jin Jun, he would rather climb and climb over the fortifications than be hit on the head by that kind of explosive weapon again.

After all, when attacking fortifications, martial arts and martial arts can still come in handy, but under the power of explosions, they are useless at all.

The Jin army gathered and reorganized, and the cavalry escorted the formation, and slowly retreated.

Meng Jiucheng did not order the pursuit, but arranged the army and continued to build fortifications to be foolproof.

The situation has reached the present, and the Jin army has been severely damaged, or even completely annihilated, which is already a very certain thing.

Because judging from the composition of the army, the men and horses of Wang Zhongfeng and Han Shouzhong's troops are all the original troops of the Red Turban Army, and they are stronger than Meng Jiucheng's side in terms of training and combat effectiveness.

And a considerable part of the troops led by Meng Jiucheng are Yang Miaozhen's subordinates. Although the distribution was disrupted and training was carried out, it was still relatively short in terms of time.

It's just that with the supervision of Yang Miaozhen and his generals, and the artillery of the Red Turban Army is sharp, these recruits don't show any cowardice.

After the arrangement was completed, Meng Jiucheng convened the generals for a military discussion.

It is of course the safest to just hold on and wait for the enemy to run out of food and grass supplies. But Meng Jiucheng also knows a saying, called long nights and dreams.

Although it was a bit risky to take the initiative to attack, it was still possible to suppress the space of the Jin army's activities so that it had to continue to devote its forces to attacking the fortifications.

"Meng Shuai wants to arrange another team between Jia Yue Town and Meng Tong Town?" Wang Min was not very familiar with this place, and could only look at the map to guess what Meng Jiucheng meant.

is not only to oppress the Jin army, but also to serve as an outpost of Meng Tong Town, such a deployment is nothing new. It's just that between the two towns, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are no dangerous places.

Looking at the map, Wang Min stretched out his hand and nodded, and said, "It seems that only Fanjiaguanzhuang Village and Dongluozhuang Village can be garrisoned." ”

"Occupy Fanjiaguanzhuang Village first, and then wait for the opportunity to enter Dongluozhuang Village, which will also reduce the activity space of the Jin Army by half." Yang Miaozhen said: "It's just that if our army divides its troops, it will definitely be weak, and if the Jin army concentrates its forces to counterattack, even Meng Tongzhen may not be able to defend it firmly enough." ”

Of course, Meng Jiucheng also knew this, if he occupied two villages, he would be worried about being broken by the Jin army if he had fewer soldiers, and if he had more soldiers, he would be afraid that the Jin army would go around the village, and even the defenders of Meng Tong Town would be insufficient.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng's idea was not to send a lot of horses, nor to occupy the village.

Meng Jiucheng stretched out his hand and dotted on the map, and said, "I want to send two thousand men and horses to camp on the official road of five miles and ten miles respectively. With such a distance, it is convenient to support each other, and even if they are defeated, they can quickly escape into a new camp and be protected. ”

On the official road? Wang Min and Yang Miaozhen glanced at each other, both a little puzzled. But I also somewhat understood what Meng Jiucheng meant.

The order must be to build this camp in Wuli first, and it is estimated that it will be very smooth, after all, the Jin army is far away, but the main force of Meng Tong Town is close.

After this camp is built, it will have a solid foothold, and then go forward five miles, and use the same method to build another village.

In step-by-step terms, it might be more accurate.

And occupying the official road and forcing the Jin army to go to the wilderness, although it is also flat, there are still some obstacles in the end, and the mobility cannot be brought into full play.

Moreover, the Jin army was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, and there were many carts carrying supplies and baggage. If you don't take the official road, you can only abandon the baggage, and even a large number of wounded.

This is obviously an unthinkable scenario, and it is not much different from throwing away armor.

Therefore, the Jin army was bound to capture the camp across the official road. So how will the Jin army respond to the possible reinforcements of the Red Turban Army and the retreat of the troops in the camp?

"I estimate that the Jin army will use cavalry to intersperse from the wilderness and cut off the retreat of the troops who have established official roads." Wang Min felt that if he commanded it, he would definitely do it, "In this way, there will not be many troops that can be used to attack the camp." ”

"If the two villages can be successfully built, I am ready to send 2,000 troops to the farthest camp, and only four or five hundred people will be left in the camp behind, but I want to bluff." Meng Jiucheng continued to say his own idea, "Coupled with the troops in Meng Tong Town, the head is hard, the waist is soft, and the heels are steady, which is such a situation. ”

Yang Miaozhen nodded and said, "The Jin army has already lost its troops, and it is estimated that there will be casualties when it turns around and fights Jia Yue Town again." If calculated in this way, the strength of the army will be about 2,000, and our army really does not need to be too afraid of war. ”

Wang Min glanced at Meng Jiucheng, he probably guessed Meng Jiucheng's thoughts, not to fight, but to oppress.

Jin Jun has already tossed back and forth. Even if you still can't break through Jia Yuezhen's defenses, after increasing the casualties again, it is unlikely that you will turn around and look for a breakthrough from Meng Tong Town's side, so won't it be a headless fly?

"Meng Shuai, I agree with this arrangement." Wang Min also agreed, paused, and asked, "Then when will you send troops to set up a village?" ”

"Dispatch after dusk." Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "At that time, the Jin army must have arrived in Jiayue Town, even if there is a horse scouting to detect the situation, it is unlikely that it will attack overnight." ”

"Can you build a camp overnight?" Yang Miaozhen still has some questions.

"More than 2,000 people is estimated to be not enough, but what about 4,000?" Meng Jiucheng said confidently: "Mengtong Town is basically safe, we only have a small number of troops left, and the troops who assisted in building the village will return tomorrow morning, which can be guaranteed." ”

Yang Miaozhen thought for a moment and nodded with a smile.

Although Meng Jiucheng is not a particularly qualified military commander, he is very powerful in calculation. The timing is accurate, and the troops are appropriately mobilized, which also makes people have to admire.
