Chapter 649: Enemy Tracks
readx;
As soon as the Nine Dragons were destroyed, the poisonous fog that permeated Ruyunzhou was quickly blown away by the wind. The soldiers and horses of the middle road army of the Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info rushed to Jinyunzhou, and after going out of Yunzhou, Jiangxia chose to go out of Heihanling Fort.
At the moment of walking out of Heihanling Fort, the road was completely buried by the wind and rain. As far as the eye can see, the plain outside the pass is already white, as if the heavens and the earth have become a white world at this moment. If a person takes a step forward, his entire foot will be buried by the snow on the ground.
Seeing such a situation, Jiang Xia's whole person was stunned. He rode his war horse and looked at the time in front of him for nearly ten breaths, and finally he had to sigh: "God don't bless me." ”
The poisonous fog that entered Yunzhou itself had already stopped him for several days, and the march map had been stolen again. He is now broken into Yunzhou, and he must work day and night to recover the original march. But now the roads were completely covered with wind and snow, and the march was bound to slow down.
But his march slowed down, and the Tatars couldn't go much faster. Because most of his soldiers and horses were infantry, and most of his soldiers and horses were cavalry.
After barely marching for two hours, many of the soldiers had frostbite on their feet and had to stop to rest. Seeing such a situation, Jiang Xia could only make a decision helplessly in the end. That is, he led 60,000 cavalry in the 200,000 army to take the lead, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were handed over to Gao Jia to lead, and then followed.
Under Jiang Xia, there are not a few people with strong martial arts, but there are very few real generals. Gao Jia, who was in charge of the martial arts hall for Jiang Xia and cultivated many elites of the martial arts hall, was considered a general, and Jiang Xia could finally rest assured that he would hand over the army to him.
According to Jiangxia's estimates, the Tatars were able to gather between 150,000 and 200,000 soldiers. His own 60,000 cavalry killed from the middle flank, which could completely contain the Tatar army, so that they had no time to harass the left and right armies.
Some people may wonder that since the Tatars only have 200,000 soldiers and horses at most, why didn't Jiang Xia simply gather his own 400,000 troops and kill Uliangha only from the middle lane.
Those who know how to march and fight will understand that if they do so, they will actually suffer a lot. Because the terrain outside the gate is flat, most of it is open land. And the Tatars were mostly cavalry. If an army of 400,000 was crammed together towards the Tatars, the Tatars could rely on the flexibility of their cavalry to constantly harass the infantry of Bactria . When the time comes, from Great Xia to Uliangha, I don't know if the last remaining troops can reach 200,000.
But it was different if he divided his troops into three routes, and with the strength of the Tatars, if he was also scattered into three routes, he would not be able to defeat any of them. But he only attacked one way with his combined forces, and the other two roads could directly smash the Yellow Dragon. So this is the most cost-effective and beneficial method.
Although the situation has changed now, Jiang Xia is confident that he has 60,000 cavalry, and it should not be much of a problem to use the mobility of the cavalry to contain the Tatar army. When the time comes, once the Tatar army wants to fight itself, it will run all over the mountains. Once you don't beat yourself, then you will chase his ass and kill him. In short, when the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I advance.
At the same time that Jiang Xia was marching to Wuliangha, in the Zhu family's mansion in Fuju Lane in the capital, he was now talking about Zhu Zaijiang's son's full moon banquet. The subordinates of the family were putting up lights everywhere, and Zhu Zaijiang was walking around the courtyard with his son in his arms, looking in a good mood.
Suddenly, Fuli's housekeeper sneaked up to Zhu Zaijiang's side and whispered a few words next to Zhu Zaijiang's ear. Zhu Zaijiang's brows suddenly furrowed after hearing this, and he handed over the child in his hand to the housekeeper beside him, and then hurriedly walked to the backyard by himself.
When he arrived in the backyard, Zhu Zaijiang stopped in place and looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he quickly ran to the firewood room. Although the firewood room looks dilapidated from the outside, there is actually a compartment with a lot of space inside. The cubicles are covered with mahogany floors and rosewood furniture, and they are very carefully furnished.
As soon as Zhu Zaijiang entered, five people in the room saluted him: "See the emperor!"
Zhu Zaijiang nodded, and waved his right hand: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy." Zhu Zaijiang walked to the chair and sat down, and glanced at the five people in front of him.
These six people are the male and female poison saint couples, their biological son Hua Fu Soul, and Jianghu Fujin Liu, and the Empty Gate Elder Nangong Wu.
Zhu Zaijiang asked the flower burial soul in puzzlement, "Why are you the only one who came back?"
"Back to the emperor, Weichen specially rushed back to report this matter to you. The Red Flame Poisonous Miasma created by Jiulong Ding failed to stop Jiang Xia for ten days, in fact, in just five days, Jiang Xia had already led people to sneak into Yunzhou, killed all the undead warriors, and destroyed Jiulong Ding.
In order to stop Jiang Xia, Li Bayi's predecessor made a fight with him, and finally his right hand was beheaded by Jiang Xia. Now the seniors are recuperating in Qinghedian and cannot enter Beijing for the time being. The flower burial soul said to Zhu Zaijiang.
When Zhu Zaijiang heard this, the whole person was shocked. Jiang Xia can break the red flame poisonous miasma, and can kill all the undead warriors who entered Yunzhou. These Zhu Zaijiang are acceptable, but Li Bayi's right hand is actually gone, which makes Zhu Zaijiang unacceptable.
You must know that Li Bayi's martial arts are the highest among all the people on his side. The fact that he can gather so many masters of the rivers and lakes around him now comes from the dragon protection clan that he has cultivated since the Yongle Dynasty. The second is derived from the virtue of Emperor Hongzhi. As for Sanma, it all depends on the prestige that Li Bayi played in the rivers and lakes when he was young.
Without Li Bayi, Zhu Zaijiang didn't know if he could still suppress these people. If these people stop listening to themselves, then everything for them will be over.
Zhu Zaijiang knocked on the table with his hand, and said to himself in a low voice: "I couldn't delay Jiangxia for ten days, and the Great Xia marching map sent by Sikong Qingqing didn't work at all. If you still want to put Jiang Xia together, I'm afraid you can only rely on God's blessing. ”
I don't know if God really blesses Zhu Zaijiang, since Jiangxia entered Yunzhou and exited the customs, he has always encountered snowstorms along the way. The strong wind blowing with wind and snow made Jiang Xia feel like he was going to be frozen into a statue every time.
However, fortunately, the cavalry brought out by Jiangxia was mostly led by some people from the martial arts hall. Although the storm was encountered several times, they never complained of hardship, let alone gave up.
Suddenly, the scout horse in front of him came back on a fast horse.
As soon as he saw Jiang Xia, Tanma immediately reported: "Your Majesty, there is a trace of the enemy ahead!" r1058
