Chapter 498: Hurry
"Quick, speed up the march!" Gao Shun urged the soldiers while looking ahead, looking anxious.
"General Gao, don't worry, if you march like this, by the time we arrive at Pingliang Pass, we will be exhausted, not to mention that we can't go into battle, and whether we can protect ourselves is a big problem!" Chen Zhi persuaded on the side, and unconsciously patted the horse to accelerate,
Although everyone understands the principle of using soldiers, but the anxious mood, everyone is the same, the news from Ma Yue is too shocking, Pingliangguan may not be guaranteed at any time, the gate of the empire was knocked on by Timur like this, so is it worth it?
"Third brother, you must hold on!" Qi Tian also locked his eyebrows and clenched his fists at this time,
"What, the 400,000 army has been annihilated, and Pingliangguan will not be guaranteed at any time?" Yuan Qi sat in Mingtang, shocked,
"Yes, Holy Lord, Timur lured our army out by being assassinated, and at this moment he should raise another army and keep Timur out of the country!"
Yuan pondered the case, Timur was stabbed, Guo Jia worked hard, but let Timur be the fisherman, and the time was also, and the life was also.
Yuan Qi raised his head and said with a smile: "Haha, even if Timur breaks through Pingliang Pass, he will be defeated by my Yuan clan! Kong Ming, let you preside over the matter of increasing the army! Yuan Qi left the dragon case with a slight smile,
In Pingliang Pass, Timur is sitting in the high hall at the moment, holding a wine glass, looking at the ministers under the case, can't help but be in high spirits, during the banquet, Timur is full of interest, not only drank a lot of wine, but also drank a higher degree of Arak shochu, this seventy-year-old man is like a young man, when the interest comes up, he also sings and dances with his many concubines. In this lifetime, he has built a brilliant deed, in the process of the establishment of his empire, no other powerful empire can meet its edge, more than thirty years of conquest war, he built a great empire with its capital in Samarkand, the territory from Delhi to Damascus, from the Aral Sea to the Persian Gulf. His soldiers were invincible, and his corpses were piled up like mountains, and his heads were built into towers.
As the last in his life, and he thought that he was the most likely to match his Yuan Empire, after the First World War, the 400,000 army was wiped out, and Pingliang Pass was prostrate at his feet, and now, as long as he can conquer the Yuan Empire again, he is the real Lord of the World, Genghis Khan!
Timur was so pleased that he drank a lot of wine during the feast and returned drunk.
Yanjing, Zhuge Liang personally ordered generals, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Zhang Chong, Zuo Ci, Huang Yong, Zhang Zong and other generals were impressively in the column, the heavenly return army, the earth return army and so on with the army to go out together, according to the meaning of Yuan Qi, this time in addition to the water army, the generals poured out of the nest, not only to resist the enemy outside the country, but also to beat Timur painfully, subdued!
Gao Shun and Chen Zhi after several days of rapid marching, finally with Ma Yue "victory division", Ma Yue was chased and beaten by Timur's cavalry all the way, that is really, running through the village and running across the river, all the way sad and singing, being beaten by a group of people, this feeling, very unhappy!
Fortunately, the 100,000 troops led by Gao Shun and Chen Zhi finally arrived, and this kind of pursuit stopped abruptly, although Guo Jia was a literati, but his mood was relatively better, compared to fleeing under the control of Timur, it was not the first time to flee in the country, it was relatively easy, and it was slightly more comforting to him emotionally. Ma Yue is bad, at this moment, his beard is stubble, unkempt, which makes Gao Shun and Chen Zhi sigh.
After a little freshening, Ma Yue sat with Guo Jia, Gao Shun, and Chen Zhi, discussing the next military plan, the front Timurid army had already broken through the Pingliang Pass, and their 100,000 army went to attack the city, and it was still unrealistic to win more with less. Therefore, after everyone discussed, they sent scouts to continue to investigate, and they waited for Qi Tian to lead the army to arrive before making a decision!
Qi Tian led the army all the way from Bingzhou, and it was not hard, because he was worried about Ma Yue, Qi Tian could walk more, rest less, and hurry up slowly, or "join the division" with Ma Yue after half a month.
Ma Yue and they were always on guard against Timur's army coming to cover up, so the soldiers divided into two routes, camped on the road, and formed a horn with Gao Shun and them, and they also knew that Qitian's reinforcements were coming.
Nervous waiting, eager anticipation, Timur's army did not cover up, but Qi Tian led the army to arrive, the two brothers finally met, naturally a long talk is indispensable, and when the moon is on the branches, everyone nervously discussed the countermeasures of the former enemy! It was another all-night stay, so hard!
In the rear, Zhuge Liang led 500,000 soldiers straight to Pingliang, and along the way with Pang Tong, Zhao Hu, Huang Yong, Zhang Chong, Zuo Ci and other advisers, generals repeatedly discussed combat strategies and troop allocation.
"Kong Ming, we can't lose this battle again!" Pang Tong and Kong Ming sat opposite each other and were talking,
"Yes, since Timur has won Pingliang Pass, he will definitely go all out, relying on Pingliang Pass, covering up to the Central Plains, and the follow-up troops will be endless, this is a tough battle!" Kong Ming also said with some concern,
"I don't know what the situation is now, General Qi, they should have fought with Timur at this moment. Pang Tong said,
"Our army was defeated in the first battle, and the morale of the three armies was low, so it is not appropriate to take the initiative to attack at this time, and we should do a good job of defense and then make a plot!" Kong Ming said,
"Yes, I think so too, if there is no big victory, this field will not be easy to come back. Do you want General Qi to defend first, and then move after our army meets?" Pang Tong said,
"I have ordered General Qi to be told that he should defend well, and Timur will take advantage of the victorious army, and our army should temporarily avoid the edge, and not be rash and regenerate new defeats!" Kong Ming said.
"That's very good!" Pang Tong took the tea and drank it down.
Although Qi Tian, Ma Yue, Guo Jia, Gao Shun and others led hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were elite heavy cavalry flying dragon troops, they did not attack, but had the same ideas as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. Zhuge Liang heard Yuan Qi talk about a war case on the earth, the Changping War between Qin and Zhao, and the king of Zhao was ignorant of the basic situation of Qin being strong and Zhao weak in terms of war guidance, and was anxious to win, and mistakenly adhered to the offensive strategy. Zhao Kuo, who was eager to win in accordance with King Zhao's intentions, changed Lian Po's defensive arrangements and military regulations, changed his generals, and organized an attack. In view of Zhao Kuo's weakness of being proud of the enemy, Bai Qi adopted the operational policy of feint defeat and retreat, lure the enemy from his position, and then divide and encircle and annihilate him, and finally won the war.
The Battle of Changping was the last turning point in the history of the Warring States Period, and the unification of the Qin State was only a matter of time. Yuan Qi also deliberately said before leaving: Zhao Qianche's lesson will happen to my Yuan clan in the end.
Now the Yuan clan was also annihilated by Timur in the first battle of 400,000 troops, the number is similar to the battle of Changping, but the Yuan empire still has a huge national strength to support, and there are millions of troops in the rear, compared with the Zhao State during the battle of Changping, it is much stronger, but if the same mistake happens again, the Yuan empire will be dangerous, so Zhuge Liang also told him in the letter, asking Qi Tian not to take the initiative to attack, so as not to make the same mistake.
Fortunately, everyone knows that this battle is related to the fortune of the country, and Ma Yue was defeated, and he did not dare to act rashly, so the time was in a hurry for the army led by Zhuge Liang. [.]
