Chapter 250: Arrange the troops

The next day, Yang An discussed with the leaders how to deal with the enemy, and Yang An said: "The Mongolian army led by Kublai Khan can reach the Jinsha River the day after tomorrow at the latest! Dali soldiers can defend the city, if they really want to fight hard, most of them will be defeated, so I mean that this battle will be led by our alliance army, and Dali's army can assist from the side!"

Chu Yin said: "When I discussed with the people of the Gao family yesterday, I also said this, and they have no opinion!"

"So now the question is how to arrange the troops!"

Chu Yin stood up and said: "Although it is Cangshan military in the lower part, it is not a problem to arrange troops, but strategically the alliance leader still has to take the idea!"

"Tell me about it!"

"I have a few opinions to come up with for you to discuss, one of them, Dali is not like Mongolia, the weather can be said to be completely different from Mongolia, and they want to come, the first thing is to pass through the Jinsha River, although it is now winter, the water flow is not very urgent, but for the northerners who do not know the water, it is indeed a problem, the first point is to make a fuss in the Jinsha River! Second, the Mongols are mostly cavalry, and they fight on flat ground, even if you are all martial arts masters, you may not be able to win, not to mention, the other side is 100,000, we are only 40,000, so we have to work the decisive battle! Third, the Mongols are good at using scimitars, which are close attacks, and if we use spears and spears, we will have an advantage!"

Yang An said: "I know what you said, even if the weapons are superior, they can't be on the plains, and the Mongolian cavalry is unimaginably terrifying. Jinshajiang is our first line of defense, and we must first fight this battle well in order to take them down in one go!"

"That's right!"

Yang An said: "There is only one bridge across the north and south of the Jinsha River in Dali, and only here, the water flow is the most gentle, if they want to cross the river, they have nowhere else to go, that is, some bridges." Fan Tian led 10,000 men to lie in ambush at the bridgeheads, except for his own weapons, each of them brought a bow and 30 arrows, but when he saw the bridge stepping on, he rushed into the Jinsha River, and 10,000 arrows were fired at once, and he immediately retreated after 30 arrows were shot! Another 10 masters were sent to ambush at the bottom of the bridges, and when the number of Mongolian soldiers on the bridges exceeded 10,000, they ignited the explosives and blew up the bridges, and they jumped into the water and waited for an opportunity to escape!"

"Yes!"

"Zhang Qi, you lead 15,000 people from Songshan Martial Arts, after Fan Tian retreats, rob and kill the chasing soldiers who have just landed, kill as many as you can, if you meet Bu Rigude and his three disciples, retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Zhang Sanfeng, you lead the disciples of the New Fourth Sect, the Twelve Sword Sects of Shaoxing City, and the remaining disciples of Songshan to cover the retreat of Zhang Qi and others.

"Yes!"

The three of them each led their troops to set off, and Chu Yin said: "This battle must be won, it's just a matter of how many enemies are killed!"

"Oh, are you so sure?" Yang An asked.

"If the Mongol soldiers want to attack Dali, they must cross the river, as long as they cross the river, they will inevitably be ambushed, your formation is invulnerable, but there is one point, your formation is basically on the defensive, if they let them go, it may be a fatal attack on them!" Chu Yin said.

"The Mongol soldiers are very strong, an army of a few thousand people has defeated tens of thousands of gold soldiers, not to be underestimated, even if it is really as you said, there are heavy losses to them, then we must have a lot of losses, all the people are willing to follow me Yang An, how can I ignore their safety?"

"But the battle may not be so smooth in the future!"

"Isn't it you? By the way, you immediately inform Dali of our battle plan and let them respond randomly!" Yang An commanded.

"Good!"

Late at night, Yang An was still studying the map, Wen Ruyu and Youqu walked in, Youqu said: "I heard that you haven't eaten at night, I specially boiled four eggs for you, it's very sweet!"

Yang An was really a little hungry, picked up the bowl, thought for a while, put it down again, and said: "At this moment, your heroes are on the way to the Jinsha River, I'm afraid that even the cold dry food may not be able to eat, this egg is really a little difficult to swallow!"

"I heard Chu Yin say that we will definitely win this time, so you can rest assured!" Wen Ruyu said.

"Having said that, after all, it is necessary for everyone to work together and fight bloodily!"

"But you have to eat it anyway! And this is the egg we bought ourselves from the mountain, and we didn't use the army's money!"

"Okay, you have to be careful when you go down the mountain in the future, maybe there are Mongol spies who have infiltrated it!"

"Don't worry, ordinary people can't do anything to us, by the way, Brother Yang, you see that on this mountain, men have gone out to fight, but there are also a lot of female dependents here, I roughly calculated, I'm afraid there are three or four hundred people, they all know some martial arts, and some are still masters, it's better to organize them all and lead them by me, maybe they can come in handy in the future?"

"Yes, they don't have anything to do in the mountains anyway, you can pass the time by leading them to practice dancing together!"

"You agreed?" Yuqu stood up happily.

"But not now, because all the people are fighting outside, and suddenly let their female dependents follow the drill, I'm afraid that the people outside will have opinions that will affect the morale of the army, so it's better to wait for them to come back, and after discussion, make a decision!"

Youqu was a little unhappy, Wen Ruyu said: "Brother Yang is reasonable, you can endure it for a few more days!"

"Okay!"

Yang An said in his heart, every time there is a war, spies on both sides are inevitable, and there are not a few fine works in Dali City, especially the three passes outside Dali City and Cangshan are the most, so that Yang An has to change the way of sending troops. Yang An was struggling to deal with these details, but the statement of Youqu made Yang An come up with a plan, and he was secretly happy in his heart!

Wen Ruyu walked to Yang An's side and said, "Are you sure about the next battle?"

"I can't say it, the best way is to choose a mountain forest to fight, but from the Jinsha River to Dali Sanguan, there is no such mountain forest at all, you can only take one step at a time!"

"I'm sure you'll be able to beat them!"

"Since sitting doesn't help, let's go and see the house where I used to live!" Yang An said.

"Sister Dan Lian has already taken us there, and she's already packed it up and waiting for us to stay!"

"That's great, let's get over here!" said and walked out together!
