Chapter 56 Changes in the Song Man War
The same question also exists in the hearts of many barbarians, because they also don't understand why the clan king suddenly sent people to order themselves to give up the established policy of ambush the Song people on the mountain road, and also retreat them back to the first line of defense in the true sense of the barbarians - the Black Mountain Cliff.
The grand campaign of the Song army naturally could not hide the eyes of the barbarians. After the news that the Song army was divided into three ways, the barbarians also made targeted arrangements, that is, to set up an ambush on the three mountain roads that the Song army must pass through. Among them, the wind that the Guizhou army on the left was supposed to pass through is one of them, and the other two places are Yingchou Rock in the direction of the middle army and the black pine hill that the right army must pass through.
In order to completely defeat the Song army in World War I, the barbarians used all the available troops this time and deployed 10,000 troops in all three dangerous places. In this way, although they are still at a disadvantage in total strength, they still have a fighting power. The barbarians are full of confidence in this battle, and they firmly believe that this battle will hit the Song army hard.
But the result was that before they met Song Jun, Mujeli sent someone to call back the other two people, which made it difficult for the barbarians who had been waiting for several days in these two places to accept. You should know that after the previous defeat of the Xizhou Army, the morale and fighting spirit of the barbarians has reached a new high point. They are convinced that their grasp of the location and unexpected attacks will definitely make the Song army suffer a big loss in these three places.
After seeing Mujeri, the leaders of many barbarian tribes began to question this barbarian king. After all, they did not have as many rules as the Central Plains Dynasty. Although Mujeri was nominally the co-owner of everyone, he still had to take into account everyone's ideas.
"King, why did you suddenly ask us to bring the men and horses back to the Black Mountain Cliff?"
"That is, in my opinion, Song Jun on our side will arrive in these two days. It's time to teach them a big lesson, but now they have wasted such a good opportunity!"
"The warriors below are very dissatisfied with this decision. If the king can't give us a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone!" ... Everyone said a word and began to question Mu Jerry.
After almost everyone expressed their complaints and dissatisfaction, Mu Jerry said, "My arrangement is naturally for our consideration, in order to save the lives of our warriors of all races. From your attitude, I can clearly see everyone's contempt for Song Jun. Now I can tell you that if we really fight against the Song people with such an attitude, we will definitely suffer!"
"Isn't the king's words too alarmist? We have fought with the Song army. We believe that as long as we seize the opportunity, it will not be difficult to completely annihilate them, let alone just want to hit them..." Immediately, someone shouted without accepting it, and also won the unanimous praise of almost everyone. Same.
At this time, Li Don, who stood next to Mu Jerry, said, "Don't be blinded by the previous victory. The king's decision is for us to achieve the final victory!" Maybe you don't know. In fact, the king has fought with Song Jun, or is it a night attack..."
"Ah? Has the clan king already had a relationship with the Song people? Did the king fail this time?
"Is it because the king failed at night that he dared not let us ambush the Song army again?"
Everyone began to speculate about Mujeri's raid, either in words or in their hearts. It was not until everyone calmed down again that Li Bei said, "There is a clan king in the town, and we occupy the time and place. Naturally, this battle has not failed. In this battle, we killed at least two or three thousand Song troops, and our own casualties were only a thousand..."
"Since it is a big victory, why did the king stop us from ambushing the Song army?"
"Just because we just took a little advantage. If we continue to fight, we will suffer." Mu Jerry knew that if he didn't make it clear, it was impossible for everyone to accept his own views, so he had to explain everything in detail: "At the beginning, we did take advantage of a lot because of the suddenness of the night attack, but the reaction ability of the Song army was still beyond our expectation. The tens of thousands of Song troops were not disturbed by our raid, but quickly organized a defensive force. In the end, although we killed a lot of Song troops, we could not completely defeat their defense at all.
"After thinking about it, if I hadn't made a decision at that time and ordered everyone to retreat before dawn, I'm afraid that it would be very difficult for us to retreat after Song Jun could see the situation around us.
"Since this battle, I have had a more comprehensive understanding of the Song army. Although the Xizhou army was easily defeated by us, the battle has too many advantages, and they can't represent the whole Song army, so if we want to really block the Song army, we still have to rely on better location!"
This is not all Mu Jerry's intention, but more about Li. Although Li Bei can't play football in Song Guozu, his own ability is still very large. He has seen a lot of clues from the First World War, thus persuading the king to call back the people and horses.
He knew very well that once he really fought with the Song army and lost, the courage that the barbarians had just summoned would be vented again. At that time, it would be more difficult to stop the Song army's purge. Then let them not fight with the Song army first, and then gather a certain barbarians to fight against the Song army by taking advantage of the danger of the Black Mountain Cliff, which is more conducive to the barbarians to play their strengths.
Listening to the king's self-contained that he was not the opponent of the Song army, which made the barbarians a little suspicious. After all, Mu Jieli's bravery and good at fighting are the key to being able to sit in the position of the king of the clan. If even he is not the opponent of the Song army, it is indeed impossible for him to get any benefits from the Song army.
After seeing that everyone had accepted this statement, Li Bei said again: "And the Black Mountain Cliff where we are now is much more dangerous than the previous places, and it is also beneficial for us to give full play to our strengths. As long as we are well prepared, no matter how powerful the Song army is, it will be difficult to attack. Even if they can really capture the Black Mountain Cliff defended by our heavy soldiers, there are still three natural dangers behind it, which is enough to make the Song army suffer a lot. There is an old saying in Song people that one drums, then declines, and three exhaustion. It means that as long as we can stop them for a period of time, when their offensive slows down and weakens, the Song army will no longer be so terrible. At that time, if we fight back and attack, we can't defeat them, and our own casualties can be minimized. How do you think this is better than the previous adventure?
Although people don't know much about this statement, and some are more dissatisfied with this practice, when things get to this point, people have retreated, and there is no need to argue any more. Therefore, the leaders of each department accepted Mu Jerry's arrangement and selected some good warriors from their subordinates to unite to guard the Black Mountain Cliff.
As for the other soldiers and horses retreating further before the arrival of the Song army, Mu Jerry will not put all the chips on this dangerous level, because behind the Black Mountain Cliff, there are still several important places such as the Tianmen and immortal sorrow that can be used to resist the invasion of the Song army. He planned to fight with the Song army. This is a protracted battle.
At this time, the three-way Song army was advancing at a slower speed. They did not know that the barbarians had completely reduced their defense line to the front line of the Black Mountain Cliff. Only the barbarians on the way would launch a raid on themselves, so they were even more careful. The scouts were scattered around, paying attention to all the wind and grass around them at any time. .
In this way, the speed of Song Jun's march slowed down. Originally, it only took two days, but they walked for more than five days in total. However, such careful vigilance did not gain anything until this large mountain forest was drilled out, and the other two people and horses were not disturbed by the barbarians.
After leaving this mountain forest, the three people can reconverge in one place, and the next thing they will face will be the real barbarian resistance. Although I don't know if the barbarians will be scared to retreat deeper into the mountains and forests, Song Jun still dares not be careless.
In the army, Wang Chong has recruited the generals of the left and right, and with the generals under his own command, more than 20 people gathered in front of the map. Most of the terrains painted on this map are located at the junction of Songjing and Song barbarians, such as the three dangerous places passed in front of them, but the dangerous places in the barbarians behind are very rough. Everyone just knows that there is such a place.
After sighing, Wang Chong said, "Everyone should understand that we don't know much about the situation of the barbarians. Although it is marked on this map, we still know too little about the terrain there and its danger. But in order to completely defeat the barbarians, these dangerous places must be broken through. I don't know what you think about this.
Everyone was also in a state of mind. After a long time, there was humanity: "Marshal, we have come here. There is no possibility of retreating. Just order us. What should we do!"
Wang Chong nodded with satisfaction: "Although we don't know how difficult the road ahead is, as long as our whole army is single-minded, we will definitely calm down these barbarians!" However, for the sake of safety, I decided to send a team of scouts to investigate first, and it is not too late to learn about these dangerous places before sending troops!" Speaking of this, he turned his eyes on Wang Junqing: "Junqing, this time it's up to you to take the scouts before the forward team to find out the situation there. Remember, be sure to explore everything there, including the terrain and the defense forces of the barbarians.
"Yes, I'll take you there!" Wang Junqing's eyes fell on the Black Mountain Cliff on the map. He knew that this was one of the most important points that could stop the Song army from advancing in the barbarism.
