Chapter 251: The Siege of the City
The next day, Yang An and others went to the top of Cangshan early, lest news come from the battlefield, Yang An did not receive it in time, but until the evening, there was still no news, Yang An was restless, Wen Ruyu said: "Brother Yang, maybe the Mongols haven't arrived at the bridge, you don't have to worry too much!"
"How can you not be worried, the first time you command so many people to fight together, I'm afraid that there will be some mistakes!" Yang An clenched his fists, he was not so nervous when he first transferred his troops, but now when it came to the decisive victory, he felt a little sweaty all over!
After a while, there was really a spy who came up the mountain and said, "I've seen the alliance leader!"
"What do you say!"
"Our army won a great victory, killing more than 10,000 enemies, all according to your deployment, and they all retreated safely!"
"Great, what about the casualties?"
"It's too late to count, it's estimated that there will be no more than a hundred dead and wounded!"
"It's not bad, it's not bad, it's not bad!" Yang An breathed a sigh of relief!
"When I came back, the Dali army took advantage of the situation to attack Mongolia again and fought along the Jinsha River!"
Yang An said: "At this time, the Jinsha River is not more than the chest and abdomen, we attacked his front vanguard, they will inevitably tread the water to cross the river, we must have a considerable speed to retreat when we hit his head, and now Dali is attacking, just in time for their Chinese army to keep up, how can the Dali army be their opponent?"
Chu Yin said: "They just see that it is easy for us to kill the enemy, and they want to mix it up, but they don't know that without a careful plan, how easy it is to kill the enemy!"
Yang An said to the spies: "You go back immediately, let them not go back to Cangshan first, the Dali army is bound to be defeated and retreat, let them take Zhang Qi as the leader, cover the retreat of the Dali army, give up some clans, and directly return to Tianlong Pass to guard!"
"Yes!"
Chu Yin said: "It seems that these tribes can't escape the poisonous hands of the Mongols!"
"There is no way to do it, if there is no pass to block it, let alone the Dali army, even if we add it, we will not be able to stop the attack of the Mongols! We can only sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain, and even Dali will be destroyed at that time, and we can't lose the big because of the small ones! Fortunately, many people of these tribes have escaped to the three passes!"
"yes!"
Yang An said to Wen Ruyu and Youqu again: "I'm going to Tianlong Pass soon, I want to take all the people away, on Cangshan, except for the people who guard the mountain and the people who protect the grain and grass, only your daughters are left." Youqu, you have to remember what I said, after I left, I passed on my orders, so that all the female dependents were loose and tight, as if nothing had happened on the surface, and secretly practiced martial arts, and then said to Wen Ruyu and Yang Danlian: "If there is an emergency, Cangshan is commanded by the two of you, Danlian, especially you, must be in a hurry and avoid irritability!" Yang An knew that among the three, although Danlian was rarely by his side, and his martial arts were also the worst, but when it came to improvisation, only Danlian could!
"Okay!" Dan Lian replied.
"Brother Yang, you have to be careful!" Youqu said.
Yang An said: "Don't worry, Bu Rigude didn't kill me, I won't die so easily!"
"The next time you meet Burigude, you can't fight hard!" Wen Ruyu commanded.
"Okay, good, listen to you!" Yang An said in his heart, the next time he meets Burigude, the ghost will fight with him, unless he doesn't want to die, but then again, Yang An used Xuantian Innocent Qi here but didn't hurt it at all, which made Yang An a little unbelievable, could it be that the so-called heavenly punishment also has a time to nap?
When Yang An arrived at Tianlong Pass, Dali's army was really defeated and fled into Tianlong Pass, Cangshan's army also entered, Dali's army suffered heavy losses, and Cangshan also suffered a lot of losses when covering their retreat, so many tribes were razed to the ground, and the Mongolian army was still shouting outside the pass!
"Alliance leader, you came just in time, now that we are trapped in the city, the Mongolian generals are really good, no one dares to go out to fight!
"Yes, these generals under my command can't take him either!" Gao Taixiang said.
Yang An said: "Without a careful plan, don't go out rashly, otherwise you will only die in vain!"
"But at this time, where is the careful plan?"
"Fighting a war is not an overnight thing, and the methods are all thought of! In this way, tomorrow I will go out of the city with Zhang, and I will make a decision after a while!" Yang An did not have a plan to retreat from the enemy for a while, and he also knew that it would not have much effect for the two of them to go out of the city for a while, just to stabilize the morale of the army and let the soldiers know that they were not beaten to dare to go out!
At night, Chu Yin went to Yang An's room and asked, "Senior brother, have you ever thought of a plan to retreat from the enemy?"
"No way, we are too passive, there is no way to choose the main battlefield, there is no way to win this war!" Yang An said.
Chu Yin smiled and said, "Senior brother, who said that we have no way to choose the main battlefield!"
"It's all bare, not even a hill around, and the Mongol cavalry can go on a rampage, and none of us can stop it!"
"That's true outside the gates, but what about inside the gates?"
"You mean to set the venue for the decisive battle in the city?" Yang An asked!
"That's right, since some clans have already been sacrificed, what's the harm in sacrificing Tianlong Pass again? And if you plan carefully, you can not only wipe out the Mongol soldiers, but also prevent the people in the city from suffering!"
"Tell me about it!"
The people and soldiers in the city have to cook three meals a day, and when the cooking smoke rises everywhere, it can fill the sky of the entire Tianlong Pass, so that the daily cooking smoke gradually decreases, and the Mongolian soldiers must think that our people are decreasing, but they don't know that it is not the soldiers who are decreasing, but we have transferred the people in the city!"
Yang An smiled and said, "Senior brother, you are really better than me!" But there is a problem, how to convince the Mongols that our soldiers are decreasing?"
"This is even simpler, first of all, senior brother, you gather all the troops to go out of the city to meet the battle every day, and the same day is decreasing, and a few more people are sent to deliberately play the role of deserters, and then they are caught by the Mongolian soldiers, saying that because Dali does not give food to the Cangshan army, so the two armies have a conflict, so the people of Cangshan leave one after another, and then some Cangshan people retaliate against the Dali army and rob the food of the Dali army, and Dali is also in danger and has to go!"
"This plan is really seamless! You are really a hundred times stronger than me in the way of soldiers!" Yang An admired from the bottom of his heart!
"Soldier, treacherous!" said the two laughed!
