"Kublai Khan came with Meng Ge last time and saw our tactics, this time the barbed wire fence and the trap, he is afraid that he has been prepared."
Guo Xiang turned his head to look at Ye Fei, the last time the Mongolian army was defeated, it was mainly because he didn't understand the White Night Army and despised the martial arts masters.
"Moreover, the last time I was able to assassinate Meng Ge, this time I can't do it, I don't believe it, Kublai Khan didn't have a few decent masters around him."
Guo Xiang remembered that some staff officers had proposed a plan to assassinate the special combat team again, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he shook his head, these people are really lucky, the assassination can be done once, but it does not mean that the second time can be successful. Kublai Khan's personal expedition this time, there is no master around to protect him, so it's called hell.
Ye Fei frowned, his eyes were fixed, pondering Guo Xiang's words, "Trapped, if it is a cavalry charge, it will inevitably cause great losses, but what if they attack first with infantry?" ”
When Guo Xiang heard this, he thought for a moment and immediately replied: "You mean that they will use cannon fodder to try out the pit?" And these cannon fodder ......"
She hesitated for a moment, a little unsure, but Ye Fei took out a hidden sentence for her, "That's right, it's very likely that it is an army composed of Han people, or even ......."
Ye Fei's voice was slightly low, "Even they will temporarily arrest the nearby people to open the way!" ”
"This, what should we do?"
Guo Xiang frowned and raised his thin eyebrows, facing the unarmed people, it is not possible to fight like this, it is not good not to fight, it will cause psychological distress to the soldiers, and if it is not fought, the position will be lost in vain.
"It's very simple, first explain it to the soldiers, explain the consequences of these people rushing over, and let them make a choice, whether to watch the city fall and their families die with them, or let this group of innocent people die."
Ye Fei's words were extremely cold, Guo Xiang almost thought that this was from the mouth of her younger brother, she looked at Ye Fei deeply, and said secretly in her heart, "No wonder my younger brother is so optimistic about Ye Fei and Tang Zhe, these two people are really ruthless and have an iron-blooded military style." ”
"We can also use this propaganda to drive a trend, let the soldiers increase their hatred of the Mongolian army, and let those guys in Luoyang City who are afraid of death see how those Mongolian lords treat the people under their rule!"
Ye Fei smiled, but that smile made Guo Xiang feel an inexplicable coldness.
"What about barbed wire, this thing is not easy to fill in with people, right?"
Guo Xiang asked again, the pit can still be filled and moved away by people, but behind the barbed wire is an ambush with muskets, even if they rush in front of the barbed wire, they will be instantly beaten into a sieve.
"According to the information provided by the intelligence officers, the Mongol army will come to the city at noon tomorrow, and as soon as they come, they will definitely choose to test it first."
Ye Fei smiled, pointed to the troops running outside the city and arranging positions, only to see that a forest of barbed wire had been erected outside the city, with spikes to resist horses, dusty, and many people were digging in the ground.
Guo Xiang looked at Ye Fei and didn't speak, waiting for Ye Fei to continue to explain.
"They are tempting in order to find out the layout of our position, and you say that you will remove the barbed wire, when will they choose to carry it out? My guess is that at night they will have a move. ”
When Guo Xiang heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was surprised: "You mean that they will send experts to remove the barbed wire at night?" ”
Ye Fei nodded and said with a smile: "If I am the commander opposite, I am faced with such a situation, there are only two choices, one is to take advantage of the night to send martial arts masters to cut the barbed wire without knowing it; The second is a strong attack, using cavalry horses to storm the position and break the barbed wire. ”
"But the second option will cause a lot of casualties among the cavalry, so they will definitely choose the first option."
Ye Fei hugged his shoulders and said very confidently, Guo Xiang thought about it, it was really the case, when the Mongolian army did not have hot weapons and cannons, and used cannonballs to wash the ground and defeat the position of the White Night Army, the first kind of martial arts master to perform this kind of task is the most suitable. The precedent of the assassination of the Mongol Great Khan by the special combat team members has aroused their attention to martial arts masters!
"That's why my brother transferred two-thirds of the special operations team here?"
Guo Xiang remembered the special operations team that was elusive and only dispatched by Bai Ye, and suddenly woke up.
"Not only that, but the commander transferred two-thirds of the special operations team here, and also for the safety of the city."
Ye Fei shook his head and said, looking back at Luoyang City, there must be Mongolian spies lurking there, once the two sides fight tomorrow, maybe there will be Mongolian masters entering the city to make trouble.
"This is Luoyang after all, and it is really not difficult for those who are disgruntled with us to hook up with Mongolian spies."
Guo Xiang nodded and looked into the distance, this battle was different from five years ago, that is, both sides had made preparations and arrangements, not as rushed as last time, one side was in a hurry to attack the city, and the other side was in a hurry.
"The day after tomorrow, after losing a group of masters, Mongolia will either choose to rest or attack hard. If they choose to rest, they will surround the whole of Luoyang, cut off all food and water sources, and fight a war of attrition with us. ”
Ye Fei sighed, this plan was formulated with many factors in mind, and many aspects wanted to be covered one by one, but even if people are wise, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to tell what will happen in the next moment.
"Therefore, we have to force them to attack the city, and the Mongol army cannot afford to fight a war of attrition, which is why Tang Zhe went out with the third division?"
Guo Xiang asked Ye Fei, although she was the division commander, her military literacy was not as good as these two.
"Yes, his task is very heavy, one is to cut off the supply of the Mongol army and force them to attack the city; Second, don't you see that it's autumn now, and the weather is good? ”
Ye Fei suddenly smiled and said a strange sentence, pointing his finger at this wilderness, Guo Xiangshun saw that the grass blades had withered and yellowed, and the leaves were scattered and flying, this was a bleak and dry season.
"You want to attack with fire and burn the whole wilderness?"
Guo Xiang looked at it for a while, and his eyes glared at the boss, these two madmen actually wanted to burn the wilderness and kill the Mongolian army.
"Do you remember that the military commander once told us the story of the Three Kingdoms? Although the army commander has repeatedly emphasized that many of them are fictional, Jiangdong Zhou Lang burned Chibi, and Lu Xun burned the camp for 700 miles, which is very touching to hear! ”
Ye Fei walked around the city wall, smiling and clenching his fists, his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, as if he saw those invincible Mongolian troops rolling in the fire, wailing and screaming in the fire.
"I saw that when Tang Zhe went out, he pulled dozens of big cans, and you got all the fierce fire oil out of the city?"
Guo Xiang recalled that when Tang Zhe went out, he slapped the dozens of big jars with a smile on his face, and his face was full of deterrence, how strange it was!
"No, there are more than a dozen cans left for lighting at night to prevent the Mongol army from sneaking up."
Waving his hand, Ye Fei said very casually, Bai Ye no longer cares about military command, but only delineates the direction of development after the war, so that the officers have more room to play, and they can wantonly sketch the war picture in their hearts.
Pouted, Guo Xiang didn't want to say anything, he was also calculating in his heart, the Mongolian army was 200,000, and the entire Luoyang garrison was only 18,000 people, and Tang Zhe also took a division, and the remaining troops in the city were only 12,000 combat soldiers. The difference between the forces of the two sides is almost 20 times, and the thought of it makes people despair.
In ancient times, there was a case of winning more with less, but it was not common after all, and it was still on the basis of the right time, place and people.
This is also the reason why some people in Luoyang City can't hold back, the Mongolian army is powerful, as long as the commander of the Mongolian army is not a fool, no matter how you look at the White Night Army, there is no chance of victory.
Not only did they think so, but also the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongol side did so, and if Mongolia moved seriously, the White Night Force would be crushed alive like a bedbug, and there would be no second result.
…………………………………………
The noon of the second day had passed, and before the afternoon, the earth in the distance of Luoyang City heard the sound of shaking, and the whole ground was like a war drum being beaten, and the drum surface was shaking.
Feeling this vibration and hearing this voice, some people in several mansions in Luoyang City are secretly meeting and exchanging information with each other, and they are ready to really do it.
The ground shook, and billowing clouds of smoke and dust rose from the distant sky, as if they were about to reach the clouds and wipe out the sky.
At the junction of heaven and earth, a torrent of iron horses came vertically and horizontally, galloping horses' hooves, snowy scimitar cold light, and the Mongolian army appeared here.
On the battlefield, the veterans and counselors are comforting the shocked recruits, telling them that the Mongolian iron cavalry is nothing remarkable, they are the same people, they are like livestock, they will die, you have no way out, if you retreat, the city will be ruined, and from then on live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs.
The recruits stabilized, crawled through the lines, and took aim with their muskets, but their foreheads were covered with dense sweat.
"It's started, right?"
Tangzhou City, Bai Ye stood outside the headquarters, looked in the direction of Luoyang, and whispered to himself.
"Here we go!"
Young Tang Zhe, dressed in camouflage and holding a telescope, stood in a mountain forest, with a group of gray-clad troops behind him.
"It's finally here, the big battle has begun!"
Ye Fei and Guo Xiang looked at each other and smiled, the cool autumn breeze came with the sun, and the breath of war permeated the four fields.
"Attention, be ready, detect movement, and kill on the spot. Men and women, young and old! ”
Luoyang City, in the dark, a few eyes loomed, and a dull voice sounded, full of killing intent, cold-blooded and ruthless.
