Chapter 11 Careful Action

The plan is complete, but it is only a rough one. Meng Jiucheng summoned the staff officers to discuss together, first, to pick up the missing pieces and make the plan more perfect; The second is to enable the staff officers to be tempered and grow faster.

The result of the discussion was gratifying, and Meng Jiucheng thought that the plan was already very perfect, but it was still found faulty by brainstorming and readjusted. Meng Jiucheng felt that even if he was very picky, he couldn't find anything wrong anymore.

With Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Ruxin as the main generals, he led three battalions of men and horses disguised as red jackets and went straight to Tieyong Mountain, striving to arrive in one night and half a day, and immediately began to arrange an ambush position.

Meng Jiucheng's side reported to Wanyan Bode in Mizhou the next day, only saying that Yang An'er's remnant army of more than 3,000 people, led by his sister Yang Miaozhen, wanted to cross the border to the south, but was blocked by it, and retreated north.

To play the name of Yang Miaozhen is to increase the weight and enhance the attraction of Wanyan Bode. The two battalions became three battalions, which made the force stronger, and even if Wanyan Bode sent most of his men and horses, relying on mountains and firearms, it was enough to resist.

If Wanyan Bode ignores it, Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Ruxin will build forts and fortresses according to Tieqi Mountain, stabilize the foundation, and attack the surrounding areas, thus driving a wedge in Mizhou.

If Yan Bode divides his troops, depending on the number of his troops, Wang Zhongfeng's troops will hold on to Tieqi Mountain, contain and consume his troops; Or use ambushes to inflict heavy damage, or even annihilate them.

And Meng Jiucheng's side can quietly dispatch, or cut off the enemy's retreat, and attack the enemy with Wang Zhongfeng's men and horses; Or a large army will go straight to Mizhou, seize the enemy's foundation, and then attack the enemy outside.

After such an adjustment, Meng Jiucheng felt that it was the most prudent, and whether Yan Bode moved or not, the Red Turban Army could take corresponding actions to make the situation more favorable.

And as a smokescreen bomb for the battle plan, he sent money, abandoned the fortress, and was very respectful to Fang Chennan, and even promised him that he could walk anywhere.

These illusions seemed to have achieved good results, and after Fang Chennan sent the money back to Mizhou, he discussed it with Wanyan Bode and returned. He told Meng Jiucheng that all the demands had been reported to Jinting and asked him to wait for good news. At the same time, he also gave Meng Jiucheng a sword, which was a gift from Wanyan Bode and a way to show sincerity.

Of course, Meng Jiucheng made an inexplicable look of gratitude, and sent someone to protect Fang Chennan and let him walk and watch in the base area.

As soon as Fang Chennan left, Meng Jiucheng gathered his generals and began to carry out operations.

………..

The sky was a brilliant blue, with only a few thin gauze sticking to the air, like a girl in a beautiful blue dress, with a thin white scarf around her neck.

The endless procession marched rapidly along the main road and trail towards Tie Yong Mountain.

The forward battalion had set out last night, led by the personnel who had reconnoitred and scouted in advance, and should have entered the mountainous area of Tieqi Mountain by now. The next two battalions were slower because they had a lot of baggage, but they were able to arrive at noon.

Zheng Ruxin reined in the horse's head, ran to a mound on the side of the road, and watched from the horse. Several pro-soldiers followed and protected, holding a large flag with the word "Yang" written on it.

That's right, Zheng Ruxin pretended to be Yang Miaozhen, anyway, there are very few people who know Yang Miaozhen, and if you want to deceive, you can only end Yan Bode.

It was all red, and the army was like two red ribbons, winding forward.

Wanyan Bird is bound to be fooled!

Zheng Ruxin is confident in this, although it is only the first step of the plan. Moreover, even if Wanyan Bode did not move and did not divide his troops, it would be advantageous to establish a base area that radiates the surrounding areas with Tieqi Mountain as the foundation.

"Order-" Zheng Ruxin stretched out his finger and told the herald, "Order the troops, speed up a little more, and you must enter the mountains before noon." ”

"Obey, General." The herald immediately bowed, and when he had finished saluting, he turned his horse's head and galloped along the avenue.

Zheng Ruxin watched for a while, and saw that the advance speed of the troops was faster, so he pulled out his horse and went down the mound and ran into the distance with a few personal soldiers.

At this time, Wang Zhongfeng, who had already entered Tie Yong Mountain, in addition to sending responders, immediately stopped to set up camps, arrange guards, survey the terrain, and choose to block and ambush positions.

In Wang Zhongfeng's view, the three battalions dispatched this time have become stronger, and many soldiers have become experienced after actual combat. In order to move quickly, the stone thrower naturally did not carry, but there were more flying thunder cannons and pine cannons, which were completely based on the posture of winning with firepower.

Despite this, Wang Zhongfeng did not feel relaxed. This is just the beginning, and the real battle with the Jin army is still much longer. And based on Tie Yong Mountain, the biggest difficulty is still grain and grass. If Wanyan Bode does not move, and the troops only carry ten days' worth of food, and then they can only rely on supplies from the rear, they will inevitably be discovered, and the plan to lure the enemy to attack will be ruined.

Therefore, Wang Zhongfeng not only had to complete the arrangement in the mountains as soon as possible, but also strive to attack outwards and create momentum, so that Wan Yan Bode could not ignore it.

Moreover, this operation should be the first time that the Red Turban Army faced the cavalry-based Jin Army, and it was a two-way battle before joining forces with Liu Erzu and Peng Yibin to attack the city.

Wang Zhongfeng saw Meng Jiucheng's caution and caution, and also saw the lack of confidence hidden in his heart. Therefore, this battle must be won. Otherwise, Meng Jiucheng's psychological shadow will be difficult to lift.

Later generations belong to Qingdao Tieqi Mountain, the mountains are stacked, the stone color is like iron, the pegs stand in public, and a hundred springs contend. In ancient times, it was known as "36 peaks and 72 springs".

However, Wang Zhongfeng did not choose to ambush in the mountains, but carefully surveyed the hilly and mountainous areas near the mountains. This was his idea, and he had carefully discussed it with Meng Jiucheng and others.

The terrain in the mountains is dangerous, and it is difficult for people and horses to walk, which is certainly a good place for ambushes. But the enemy will also be vigilant, and will not even penetrate easily. If the enemy is not fooled, then what is the use of a good ambush ground?

However, if the enemy wants to be defeated, and can greatly suppress the enemy's cavalry superiority, and make one's own side occupy a certain terrain advantage, then it can only retreat to the second. The hills and mountains are not too dangerous, and it is precisely because of this that the enemy may let his guard down and fall into the trap without realizing it.

Wang Zhongfeng finally chose the place to ambush, it was a small valley, except for the mountain pass, which was relatively wide and flat. Subsequently, he consulted with several staff officers of the army and made a preliminary decision. Then it's time to make a battle plan and lay out the battlefield.

When the two battalions of the follow-up troops arrived one after another, Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Xinru surveyed together, discussed with the staff officers, and finally decided on the plan to lure the enemy. and decided to march out of Liuwang Town tomorrow morning to make the momentum bigger.
