Chapter 252: The Decisive Battle in Ivory Valley I

Evening came again, the Han army set up camp in the north of the primeval forest, and some generals organized soldiers to start cleaning up the corpses of soldiers in the primeval forest.

The marshal of the Han Dynasty began to discuss the battle against the Loulan army again, all the generals and generals knew the situation of the two-day war, the Han army can be said to have suffered a big loss, although it advanced through the primeval forest for a while, the battle from the pass moat to the primeval forest was passive, the soldiers and generals could be killed and wounded most of the time, this situation is over, fortunately, the Han is a large army, and the current military strength is enough to deal with the Loulan army.

The generalissimo of the Han Dynasty gave the marshal's order again, because he did not know the specific situation of the danger in the north mountain of Qishan, he could only deploy it according to the strategy of the regular army, and the generals and generals dispersed the marshal's account after receiving the order.

Although there were nearly 100 dead and wounded on the soldiers in the two-day battle, the general of the left banner and several hussar soldiers were not there, and the losses were also heavy, and it was a sufficient reminder to the Loulan court, that is, there was no way for the Loulan army to retreat tomorrow, and the decisive battle would be more tragic, and whether the people could survive or not was all in the mountain danger war.

The court is talking about it, and with the increase in the words of the ministers, everyone is really bottomless about sticking to the mountain for a while, because on the one hand, there are still nearly 10,000 people in the Han army, and on the other hand, all the battle conditions are clear, the casualties of the soldiers on both sides are visible, and the military strength of the Han army in Loulan is clear and known, and these aspects are enough to make the Han army have a clear offensiveness.

The court will be discussing, the sand table in the north of Qishan has already appeared in everyone's field of vision, there will be a sand table in the court, everyone is naturally around the sand table simulation to talk about it, most of the ministers are mainly to see, the main talk is of course a few generals, the reality and the sand table situation The generals have already had their own ideas and plans, so they talked about it according to reason, there must be defended, there can be held and abandoned, a mountain danger has become the last fortification of the generals to block the Han army, that is, the Ivory Valley.

Here I have to explain the topography of the Ivory Valley, why the generals think that the Ivory Valley in the north of Qishan Mountain is the place where the national army must defend to the death, the Ivory Valley is named because of the peculiar mountain, the Ivory Valley terrain is like the two tusks separated by the elephant's head, it is bifurcated, the good wide mountain road is divided by the peculiar high mountains from the middle, the valley invisibly appears two valley roads, a valley road is occupied by the river down the mountain to occupy one-third, two-thirds of the uneven mountain stone road and mud, but this road is a living road, It has been stretching all over the north of Qishan, and it is naturally the hidden direction of the people of Qishan.

Although the other road is wide for a while, the road is not occupied by the river, as the road extends forward, six or seven hundred meters is dead, that is, there is no mountain road, and there is a cliff in front of it, which shows the uniqueness of Ivory Valley.

The generals of Loulan agreed that as long as the Han army was introduced into the cliff road, the Loulan people had the possibility of defeating the Han army, if not, because of the huge disparity in the strength of the army, it was likely to be defeated, relying on the ivory valley to avoid being able to eliminate so many Han troops, and the mountain on the side of the dead block is more powerful than the people to go up the mountain to prepare in advance, it is the people can stick to it, and the people can use rolling wood and stones, and the people can act as soldiers, so that Four or five thousand soldiers of Loulan can all be deployed in the valley on one side.

The discussion is here, all that remains is how to lead the Han army into the Ivory Valley, at this time, you can see the unity, see the unity, not the Qiangyi and the Sa leaders said together: If you want to lead the Han army into the valley, a small number of soldiers must not be feasible, and our people are willing to be fleeing citizens, only in this way, with the participation of the people can the authenticity be realized, so that the Han army can chase and kill it with all its might.

Lan Qi'er and all the generals looked at the two foreign leaders for a while, of course, they were happy and worried and revered, in this case, how can they ensure the safety of the foreign people as much as possible?

The problem is out, yes, to put it mildly, then you can't really send it to death, pay the price of death!

The leaders of the Qiangyi and Sa tribes already had ideas and plans in their hearts, that is, hundreds of tribesmen suspended at the branch of the Ivory Valley in the way of carrying materials, and when the soldiers who were sticking to the dangerous fortifications in front of them withdrew from the battle, they would abandon the materials and withdraw with them, but at this time, they had to make desperate signs of escape, after all, it was a mountain road of several hundred meters, and once the tribesmen fled to the cliff, it would be relatively safe, and the people of the two tribes and the people of Loulan could put down enough ropes at the cliff in advance. The people and soldiers of our two tribes can get rid of contact with the Han army as quickly as possible, climb the mountain, and then push stones and trees to block the enemy's rear road when they exit the Ivory Valley Pass, so as to completely destroy the enemy who has entered the valley.

Lan Qi'er and all the ministers understood, the two leaders of the alien race seemed to have been prepared, and the plan and design made sense, but after all, the Ivory Valley was six or seven hundred meters long, could the hundreds of people of the two clans really get rid of the Han army so quickly, not necessarily, if it couldn't, it would be a strong death without the ability to resist!

Lan Qi'er is the empress, and she can't help but consider the alien people, so she said: The suggestions of the two leaders are feasible, so let's do it, the population of the two clans is not much after all, at least compared with the Loulan people, the method is adopted by the empress, and the implementation will be completed by the Loulan people, the empress can't let the ordinary people take risks, the people of Loulan soldiers can pretend to be them, about the female dependents, the empress will also choose among the Loulan women.

The leaders of the two different races heard the words of the empress Lan Qi'er, of course they knew that the empress had good intentions, so they said: Your Majesty, the people of my two clans are under the care of the empress and the clansmen, this matter is natural for the clan, the clansmen of the clan mostly make a living by catching snakes and hunting, climbing mountains, etc. are better than the noble clansmen, there are hundreds of clansmen with good physical strength, and some are no problem, the soldiers are better to prevent the valley on the other side, that is the place where all the people live and die, and there is the most important thing!

Lan Qi'er saw that the two leaders were so complaining, and what they said made some sense, so she said: Okay, this emperor respects the suggestions of the two leaders, and the clansmen will elect and organize!

Lan Qi'er immediately issued an imperial order, the two alien races were responsible for the affairs of the fleeing people, and the right banner general and two lieutenants retreated to the cliff of the dead ivory cliff together after holding the fortifications at the front of the Ivory Valley, all to cover the two clansmen's people first!

In the public discussion, the Loulan court has already set the deployment of the Ivory Valley on the one hand, and the rest is a few fortifications and the Ivory Valley on the other side of the fortifications and the stubborn defense.

The generals spoke at the beginning, and finally Lan Qi'er synthesized the public opinion and issued a holy decree related to the people of the three races, the first mountain fortification was held by General Soha and his two deputy generals and crossbowmen, and it could be advanced and retreated according to the facts, and it was not stubborn, and it was possible to retreat into the ivory valley of the third fortification to a certain extent.

The second mountain fortification system was defended by the general of the Right Banner and his lieutenant general, the eighteen hussars (five hussars died in the primeval forest), and as above, they insisted on not sticking to it, once they had to let it, they would retreat into the Ivory Valley together with the two alien people in the Ivory Valley, and die first and then live.

Once the conditions are formed, the people can use the rolling wood and stones on the high mountain, and the archers can release their arrows condescendingly, and all the large number of Han troops who follow up will all die in the valley.

The Han army knew that it was fooled, and it would definitely enter another ivory valley, and there was no possibility of life, the Han army was superior in numbers, and the Loulan army was advantageous.

The imperial order that Princess Tulong Anran, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, got for a while was to lead the Praetorian Guards to guard the national cave and materials, Lan Qi'er's imperial order was over, and everyone knelt on the ground to accept the order.

The temporary court meeting in Loulan ended, and when everyone just wanted to leave and disperse, a voice appeared again, everyone had heard it, and they already knew the person who said it in their hearts.

Lan Zhenshan had already arrived before the words fell, and walked quickly in front of everyone, and there was still a number of courtesies, kneeling in front of Lan Qi'er and saying: Auntie, I have something to say.......

Of course, Lan Qi'er knew that this kid must have his own views and opinions, so she said: Zhenshan, if you have something to say, say it.

Lan Zhenshan heard Lan Qi'er's words and said: I have listened to the opinions and arrangements of my aunt and all the adults, and I can hear it clearly, I know that the Ivory Valley is the last line of life and death for the people of our Loulan Ancient Kingdom, and I said that once the Ivory Valley is breached, our people will have no possibility of blocking the Han army, and at that time, the women and children of the people will have no power to fight back, and they will be killed, right, am I right?

If that's the case, why don't you plan for the worst, change from passive to active, I mean active and passive, you may not understand, I'll talk about it now.

First, I am very satisfied with the Empress Aunt's early mountain danger deployment, but I only have some small opinions about the later deployment in the Ivory Valley, that is, our country's 200 Janissaries should not be scattered everywhere, they should be assembled, assembled on the Ivory Valley, plus nearly 100 young people in our art field, it can form a force of no less than 300 people, if all the adult men of the country join it, it will definitely be the strength of one or two thousand people, and the dispersion will be weak, let the Han army be killed, if it really forms what I said, Then if you form an active fist, it's definitely a lot of power, isn't it?

Second, if the Han army breaks through the stubbornness of our army, the number of its soldiers should not be much at that time, seeing that there are thousands of soldiers on my ivory valley, there will be fear, if our soldiers and people are supported by gongs and drums, bee chrysalis and charge it, the effect should be brave, after all, it is for the wife and children and parents, it is the state of fighting, this is active, how I think it is better than passive, certain.

Everyone heard some truth for a while, of course they recognized it in their hearts, so the temporary court meeting began again, and everyone began to discuss again, discussing Lan Zhenshan's ideas, half an hour passed, and the plan came out, the early defense system was not changed, that is, the final passive was changed, changed to active, and the initiative was not a small range of Lan Zhenshan's thoughts, and the ministers agreed that since life and death were fateful, it was really time to use the Praetorian Guard and the Children's Army, so why not take the initiative of the whole people, and all the men up to the sixty-year-old man, Children down to the 14th Five-Year Plan are included in the final scope of entrenchment.

The leaders of the two alien races also expressed their attitude, and all the adult males of the alien race will also join the people who are holding on, and the aliens are not without combat power, but most of them are based on mutual injury and death, and they are ready to use poison powder and other close quarters to kill and injure the Han soldiers.

Of course, Lan Qi'er knew that Lan Zhenshan was talking about the worst and most cruel scene, it was the old and weak women and children of the people who fought for their lives.

Lan Qi'er knew that this was the last imperial order that she should make, it should be given first, and it really reached the stage where the people fought against the Han army for a living, and she may have died in battle, and she couldn't make this holy decree if she wanted to, so she made the most unwilling to see the scene of the holy decree, Princess An Ran and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tulong and Lan Zhenshan, got the holy decree of the emperor, and the group of people were all listed in the continuation of the war, and the three of them knew in their hearts that the national soldiers led by the three of them were the last hope for the survival of the old and weak women and children of the people, and the heart was below, Even if you pay with your life, you must hold on to the Ivory Mountain, and never let the Han army pass through the Ivory Valley, and you will not let it go for a single step.
