Chapter 258: Winning a Thousand Miles
The Mongol army had been guarding in front of Tianlong Pass for half a month, and Chu Yin came to look for Yang An early, and said: "Alliance leader, our plan is about to come to an end! The people I sent out have guided Kublai Khan to watch the smoke according to the original plan, intentionally or unintentionally, and won his trust, and we have fewer and fewer people going out of the city every day to meet the battle, Kublai Khan has completely believed that the defenders in our city are insufficient, and we will forcibly attack the city in the near future. Our most crucial battle is coming soon!"
"It seems that I have to go to the city to stimulate him again, and firmly grasp the fighter plane in our hands, so that we can destroy the Mongols as much as possible!" Yang An said.
"That's what I mean, either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you have to let them know that it hurts, and that aggression has to pay a price!"
"That's right!"
After Yang An finished speaking, he called Zhang Quanzhong, explained some things, and took 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, 4,000 of these 5,000 people are members of the alliance, and 1,000 people are people from the alliance pretended to be Dali soldiers, although the clothes have been changed to the clothes of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but the weapons in their hands are all Dali's weapons, and the discerning people can see it at a glance, of course, they can't hide it from Kublai Khan!
Kublai Khan said: "Why did the leader of the Yang League personally lead the troops out of battle today?"
Yang An smiled: "Because now it's time to take your life!"
Kublai Khan laughed and said, "I thought that the leader of the Yang League was a real person, but I didn't expect that he would also say wild words, just how can you, a few thousand people, break my army of 100,000!"
Yang An also smiled and said: "I only brought 5,000 people, but I still have nearly 100,000 troops in Dali in the city, and 40,000 martial arts people in the Cangsong Alliance, you know!"
Kublai Khan said and looked at them, then looked at the city wall, and Burigud said in his ear: "The city is silent, Yang An's men are actually mixed with Dali's soldiers, it seems that there is indeed no one under Yang An's hands!"
"Even so, we should still be careful!" Kublai Khan said.
"Dali's army was heavily damaged by our army when it was in the Jinsha River, I'm afraid it is less than 70,000 now, and judging from the situation of the battle, there is no need to worry at all, the person who is worried is the 40,000 alliance army under Yang An, and now most of it has gone, even if Yang An retains some troops, it will not be too much, and it is also not a matter of worry!"
"There's no hurry!"
Burigud stepped forward and said, "Since you have more than 100,000 troops in the city, why don't you all go out of the city to fight!"
"It doesn't take so many people to deal with you!" Yang An pretended to be flustered and acted panicked!
Kublai Khan and Buri Gude laughed in their hearts, and Kublai Khan said, "Then try it!"
From time to time, the Mongols launched an attack, Yang An led five thousand people to resist, fought for half an hour, due to Yang An's many masters, the corpses of the Mongols fell all over the pass, I am afraid there are four or five thousand people, of course, Yang An's men also lost one or two thousand people!
At this moment, Chu Yin immediately called Jin on the city tower to collect his troops, and Yang An immediately returned to the city and closed the city gate! Chu Yin and the others came to greet him, and Yang An immediately said, "Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready!" Hatsugakure said.
"Well, every moment is critical, you must grasp it!"
"No problem! If we fight like this, Kublai Khan will feel that our strength is not very good! We will definitely attack immediately!" Chu Yin said.
"It's a pity to sacrifice those brothers!"
"How is it possible to do great things without sacrifice?
"Yes, as long as you can completely annihilate the Mongols and leave Kublai Khan's head, it is also worth it! You command at the head of the city, wait until an hour later, and then let them in, although we want to let them in, but we can't let them in too easily!" Yang An commanded.
"I know this, you can rest assured!"
Yang An took the leaders to ambush in a predetermined position, waiting for Kublai Khan's army to slowly arrive, Zhang Qi asked: "Alliance leader, the Mongol army still has 80,000 or 90,000 people, even if the front army arrives at us and falls into our ambush, I'm afraid there are still 50,000 or 60,000 behind, and if you want to annihilate all the Mongols, I'm afraid it's impossible!"
Yang An said with a smile: "There are less than 10,000 people ambushed here, how can I use such a few people to deal with the 100,000 Mongols, I, Yang An, will not do this kind of thing of hitting stones with eggs! This is just part of the plan, Zhang Mengzhu, you can just take a look! There will always be a time when you clap your hands and say hello!"
"When you say that, I have faith!"
About an hour later, the Mongols rushed in, Yang An asked the archers to shoot at the same time, and after shooting the arrows in their hands, they went up with their weapons, and after fighting for a while, everyone began to retreat!
Yang An fought and retreated, and at the same time there were still people on both sides coming out, first firing fierce arrows, and then fighting with weapons, but the number was not large, and he had to retreat to the east! Seeing the east gate, Yang An was excited, but unexpectedly, Bu Rigude flew out, stood on the wall of the east gate, and killed the guards on the city wall!
Yang An said in his heart, if he can't get out of the city, when the time comes, he will all die inside, if he is alone, it will be enough, but there are still tens of thousands of brothers, Yang An can't let them die in vain! Yang An said to Zhang Qi: "Zhang Mengmaster, I will drag Bu Rigude, you will escape from the east gate immediately, and after you get out, no matter what I do here to let Chu Yin proceed as planned!"
"Alliance leader, what should you do then!"
"According to the plan, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must not miss the opportunity, I will find a way!"
"Okay!" Although Zhang Qi was worried, he also knew the priority of the matter, and led people to break through to the east gate! Fortunately, the guards at the east gate were all his own people, and Yang An held up Burigude, so it was not too difficult to break through! As soon as he went out, the people led by Chu Yin had already been ambushed outside, and he immediately closed the gate from the outside!
Above the city tower, Yang An said: "Bu Rigude, let's stop for a while, let me ask you a question!"
"You say!" said Břigud!
"You said 100,000 people, how far would you have to stand along this street in the city?"
"Why do you ask this? It will take at least fifty miles!"
Yang An said with a smile: "I'll give you a little more than sixty or seventy miles, but coincidentally, Tianlong Pass is a full eighty miles from the West Gate to the East Gate! Do you know what this means?"
"You mean ......"
"It means that your 100,000 troops are all in Tianlong Pass, so do you know what the people in Tianlong Pass do?"
"It's no different from your Central Plains, it's also rice!"
Yang An said: "Although it is the same rice, but there is a difference, the rice here bears less grain, and to produce a family's rations, it takes five or six piles of grass larger than the house, so many of their things are made of this grass, houses, decorations, and some daily necessities, even so, there is still endless firewood and grass at their door, and the whole Tianlong Pass is like being made of grass!
Břigud looked down, and as he said, he said, "So what?"
"You said that you put your 100,000 army together with these firewood and grass, what can you do to make them disappear together?"
"You're going to set fire?"
"Have you ignored all the people in the city?"
"I forgot to tell you that the people in the city have withdrawn, which is why there will be less and less cooking smoke, by the way, there is one more thing I can also tell you by the way, our people and the people of Dali have not retreated, at the same time as you came in, they have set out from the east gate, and surrounded the south gate, the north gate and the west gate, maybe your spies have already found it, but unfortunately they have no time to tell Kublai Khan! One of the reasons why I fought and retreated was to let you know that we were resisting, not to lead you into a trap!
"You can go early!"
"If we get out of the city early, we won't be able to escape the eyes of your spies!
"It seems that everything is in your calculations!"
Yang An said: "I can burn others, but I can't burn you!"
"I won't go, not only will I not go, but I'll leave you behind!"
"Then it's up to you!"
Zhang Qi saw Chu Yin and said, "The alliance leader asked you to act according to the plan!"
"But ......" Chu Yin thought that Yang An was still inside, and he might not be able to escape by setting fire at this time, and then he thought about it, someone would always sacrifice to do great things, not to mention, if Yang An died, Wen Ruyu might have the opportunity to become his own woman! The whole sky was turned red by the firelight, and there was a lot of sorrow!
