Chapter 132 Every dog butcher
Late at night, the strong wind destroyed the city and the murderous atmosphere dispersed.
"Report - Wanyan Zonghan's army has been launched, and the whole army is going east!" Send the detailed report outside the city.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night is high, and the killing is getting more and more goods." The corners of Chu Tianya's mouth were slightly raised, and his hands were patted on the mutilated and bloody woman's wall. "The generals will gather at the South Gate and prepare to sneak straight to Huanglong Valley by detour!"
"Uh?" The generals couldn't help but be stunned. Wang Xun said, "Tianya, Wanyan Zonghan's army was stationed at the north gate and headed east; but we opened the south gate to attack, and the target also pointed to Huanglong Valley in the southern foot of Taihang - that's really the south!"
Chu Tianya smiled and waved his hand to call the guide next to him. He took out the map and approached the torch. He pointed to the map and said, "Brothers, please see, Taiyuan City is located in the northeast of Fenshui. If our army goes out of the south city to cross the Huanglong Valley by Fenshui, it can avoid the ambush set up by Wanyan Zonghan along the way. And give his ambush a cut off and form an anti-encirclement of them. As for the Huanglong Valley at the southeast foot of Taihang, this is the place where Baixu set up an ambush to annihilate Yan Zonghan's army. I think Baixu must be more familiar with the terrain in the Taihang area than us. It is reasonable for him to choose the location here. Since he is cooperating with the army, we must trust his decision. Our army can't fight alone. Just join us in Huanglong Valley and then cooperate with the operation.
"It makes sense." Wang Xun smiled and praised, "Other than that, we can at least cut off the ambush set up by the Bird Slave and swallow them! - We can't destroy Wanyan Zonghan in one breath, and cutting off his tails is also a kind of anger!"
"That's exactly what I mean." Chu Tianya said, "Please invite all the brothers to gather at the south gate. An hour after Wanyan Zonghan left, let's open the south gate to pursue. Remember, if you sneak out, you can't alarm the enemy. Otherwise, our army will encounter a counterattack, even if it is possible to be counterattacked by them and killed in Taiyuan.
"Yes!" The generals left with promise.
Wang Xun stayed and stopped for half a step. After the generals left, he said with a little shame, "Tianya, I made a mistake just now. I shouldn't ask you in public. You don't have to explain the military plan and the motivation of the army so clearly to the generals. Military orders are used to enforce, not to question and explain.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm just giving orders on behalf of my teacher for the time being. My official position is low and junior, and it is reasonable for the generals to have doubts about my military order.
Wang Xun sighed and nodded, "Now I know why my father respects you so much. You are indeed highly qualified, especially in the military. The discipline of the Chu army, which has been formed for no more than three months, is much stricter than that of the Victory Army. From today's platoon, it can't be seen that you are the first time to command the battle. Tianya, if you can have your own army and erect absolute trust and authority, I believe it will be an invincible elite division... Well, without further ado, I'll rectify the people!"
Chu Tianya said goodbye to Wang Xun with a smile on his face. He thought to himself that my future way out must be inseparable from the military. I have to speed up my studies and improve my literacy. How to integrate the spiritual concepts and scientific knowledge of the 21st century in my mind into the military in the Song Dynasty requires an extremely long process of exploration and practice. Those things that transcend the times are not so easy to carry out... Step by step, let's solve the immediate problems first!
An hour later, the south gate of Taiyuan City, which had been cast by copper juice and locked, finally opened after being closed for more than 100 days. In the darkness, countless soldiers quietly sneaked out, crossed the frozen thick ice Fenshui River, and turned to the foot of Taihang Mountain in the southeast.
Originally, if cavalry was used in such a pursuit, it would be twice the result with half the effort. But now there are only benches left in Taiyuan City with four legs, and the rest have fallen into people's stomachs. The six men and horses who attacked Taiyuan this time, Chu Tianya personally hit his head to explore the way, including the other five rears, all of which were all the same. In order to catch up with Wanyan Zonghan's cavalry, all the soldiers did not wear thick armor and ran around desperately all the way to catch up with the battle between Taihang Mountain and Wanyan Zonghan.
Soon, the army entered the Taihang Mountains. Chu Tianya took a mountain road shortcut, and the rugged branches of the mountain road was even more difficult to walk, so he sent 500 pawns to cut the road. Although the march is difficult, this shortcut saves at least 20 or 30 miles. The cavalry marching speed of the Jurchens is fast, but it is more difficult for them to enter the mountains. This is also where Chu Tianya dares to take a southeast detour for dozens of miles to chase the enemy. At the same time, it is also an important reason why Bai Wei chose Huanglong Valley as the enemy's a site to annihilate.
Huanglong Valley is more than 50 miles long, nearly half a mile wide, and only three cars can be parallel in the narrow place. It is located at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in Taihang, Shandong Province. In spring and summer, there are shallow streams and rivers flowing horizontally, and they dry up into a permafrost valley in autumn and winter. On the northwest side of the valley is the walled Taihang Giant Peak, and on the south side is a relatively gentle mountain forest mound, forming a staggered land of two mountains and valleys.
is indeed the best choice for ambush interception.
Baixu sent Ada to tell Chu Tianya in detail about his platoon. At that time, the ten people and horses in the nine mountains of Taihang will be ambushed in various dangerous areas of Taihang Mountain on the northwest side of Huanglong Valley, condescendingly launching an attack on the golden soldiers, trying to intercept their people and horses, and using various breaking tactics to suppress them. According to the agreement, the task of Taiyuan pursuers is to block the exit of Huanglong Valley in the southwest section. On the one hand, it can stop the Jurchens from retreating in the direction of Taiyuan, and on the other hand, it can also resist the counterattack of the ambush that Wanyan Zonghan may have set up in the rear.
And the main force of Xu Han's Wang Shi is responsible for blocking the eastern valley of Huanglong Valley - give Wanyan Zonghan a urn to catch the turtle, and then let him have no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and he will definitely fall in this valley!
At dawn, Chu Tianya finally stood at the reserved place - the mouth of the valley on the west side of Huanglong Valley!
He walked through dozens of miles of mountain road overnight. He was the same as the 20,000 soldiers under his men, and he felt a little exhausted.
Chu Tianya then ordered that the soldiers of the whole army should rest immediately, regain their physical strength and energy to prepare for the next battle. However, when it came to the sun, the Nvzhen army still passed by. It can be seen that after entering the mountain forest, the marching speed of the female cavalry army was not very fast.
This Huanglong Valley is the only way for the Jurra and the Jur's army to retreat to the east, and Wanyan Zonghan also had no choice but to take this road. After entering the forest boundary of Taihang Mountain, Wanyan Zonghan, who knew the way to use troops, sent several people to explore the way, and then let the army move slowly from behind to avoid falling into the ambush circle. Tens of thousands of Jurz real troops, pulled into a snake shape for more than ten miles, meandering forward at the southeast foot of Taihang Mountain.
At noon, the first sentinel of the Jurchman appeared in the vision of Chu Tianya. The sergeants ambushed in the high mountains, motionless, quietly watching several whistlers passing through the front and back.
After nearly an hour, the winding Juvzhen army entered the mouth of the valley of Huanglong Valley. Chu Tianya looked condescendingly. The Jvzhen cavalry was like a group of mosquitoes connected from the beginning to the end, and there was no end at a glance from beginning to end. After entering the mountain forest, they obviously walked quite cautiously and slowly. The two wings of the army have wandering horses to scout the surrounding situation. The front and rear flags echo to convey information and orders. There is an appropriate spacing between each cavalry in case of an attack at any time. When there is a sudden situation, they will turn the horse's head and run back, and it will not be trampled on each other.
Although it is called defeat and withdrawal, the Juri true army in front of us is not panic at all, and it is orderly and easy to advance and retreat.
Wisdom and experience always come from practice, which can't be learned from books. While watching, Chu Tianya is thinking and learning. Wanyan Zonghan's caution and old-fashioned military use can be regarded as a quite profound lesson for Chu Tianya.
It really takes a lot of patience to kill such a cunning prey.
Ten or twenty thousand horses were ambushed on the mountain in the southwest of Huanglong Valley, waiting quietly for a whole day.
The generals and soldiers had been impatient for a long time. They tried to rush down and fight with the real woman several times, but they were stopped by Chu Tianya. It was not until the last female cavalry gradually got the news in the eyes of everyone that Wang Xun and other generals came forward to ask - when to attack?
"Wait for another time to burn incense, and our army will go down to pile up firewood and set fire to cut off the mouth of the valley." Chu Tianya said, "Our task is to cooperate with the friendly army of Taihang and the king division of the Song Dynasty, and block the ambush of the female real. If you kill early, the whole ambush plan will be over!"
The generals retreated and made preparations for each other.
Soon after, Chu Tianya saw that the situation was clear that the Jurchens did not return, so he ordered Wang Xun to lead the headquarters to go down the mountain, pile up firewood and set fire to the valley; the rest of the people pushed forward, and chose to ambush nearby on both sides of the valley to be ready to intercept and kill the enemy!
Nearly 20,000 people in the six departments moved according to the order, which was finally orderly. Before long, the mouth of Huanglong Valley was full of tree trunks and branches, and a big fire was burning. Taiyuan people and horses were still ambushed on both sides of the fire, and the crossbows were ready!
Almost at the same time as the fire started, countless fiery red banners were shown at the same time in the northern foothills of Huanglong Valley, and the drums shook the horns - the people and horses of Taihang Jiushan, let's do it!
"There is indeed an ambush!" Wanyan Zonghan was not shocked at all. The well-prepared Gushen, Wu Lihai and other generals led the two-wing cavalry to fight against the Taipedang horse attacking the mountain!
A big war broke out in the narrow valley in an instant!
The rebels in Taihang Village are well prepared. They were not in a hurry to hit, but first threw countless rolling wood and fireballs from the high and steep mountain. With the fire arrows, a fire suddenly burned in Huanglong Valley!
Wanyan Zonghan was a little annoyed at this time. After ordering the Valley God and others to cut off the enemy, the rest of the soldiers and horses quickly withdrew from the valley.
But the terrain in the valley can't tolerate the cavalry to run wildly. In addition, huge rolling wood and fireballs kept rushing down from the mountain to cut off the mountain road. In the past, the Jurit-rath cavalry, who trekked through the mountains and rivers, were very embarrassed. After all, the horses are not as calm as people. When they see the rolling wood fireball hitting, they jump and rush in panic. The formation of the Jvzhen army fell into chaos for a moment, and many cavalrymen were lifted off their horseback by the frightened war horses and trampled to death.
Wanyan Zonghan's reaction was also fast. He decisively ordered - "The whole army disarmed and lead the horse to walk!" When it's urgent, you can abandon the horse out of the valley!"
The real female cavalrymen were extremely unwilling to abandon their living and proud war horses, and got off the horse to lead the horse.
The valley god, the house sea and other generals also turned into pawns and fought back to the mountain desperately to cover the breakthrough of Wanyan Zonghan's army. After the people and horses in Taihang Mountain threw a rolling wood and set off a fire, the horn changed into a drum and became urgent. The people and horses ambush on the mountain pulled out their blades and rushed down the mountain, and launched a white-edged battle with the Jurch!
Wanyan Zonghan led his horse to make an emergency breakthrough in the east valley. Although he was a little embarrassed, he escaped smoothly and quickly. The ten ambushs laid in the valley by Bai Shu, each of which brought great trouble to the Jurchens, and indeed cut a lot of Jurchens into local small strands. However, most of the real women still closely followed Wanyan Zonghan to break out.
On a mountain peak, Bai Xun looked down with his hand and shook his head and said, "Wanyan Zonghan is really not an idle person. In this tragic situation of loss of land and unfavorable conditions, his army is still in its own duties and in order. Although our ambush was successful, it could not completely defeat him at all. At most, it could only bring him some loss and weakening.
"I can't wait for 20,000 people. It's good to be able to do this." Guan Shan took a step forward and said with a cold face, "It's just the messenger we sent to Xu Han's army. Why is there still no reply? I don't know if Xu Han will accept the proposal of the military division to block the east valley entrance of Huanglong Valley?
"I don't know." Bai Shu shook his head blankly, "It's actually a little unrealistic to ask the royal master of the court to follow our arrangement. Therefore, we can only do our best and listen to fate. If Xu Han can abandon his private thoughts and sincerely serve the country and go to block Wanyan Zonghan, then today is the time when Wanyan Zonghan dies; if not, it is also God's will. Wanyan Zonghan's life should not be like this.
"Listen to the military division's tone, as if the latter situation is more likely to happen?" Guan Shan frowned and looked at the scene of the fierce battle at the foot of the mountain and said, "In fact, the military division didn't say anything, and Guan had already expected it. In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, the origin is to fight for power and defraud, and the generals in the army are unconvinced by each other. When did they see several princes working together to serve the country? Like Xu Han, a civilian commander who leads the army outside, won't even listen to the advice of his generals. If you want him to listen to our military advice, I'm afraid it's difficult to reach the sky - I just hate that I'm too weak and I don't have too many soldiers and horses. Otherwise, why do you have to swallow your anger and ask those officials for help?"
Bai Xu said, "I remember that I once said something when I chatted with Chu Tianya in Taiyuan, and I still remember it deeply. Today, it's really a good answer.
"What are you talking about?"
"There are many dog slaughterers who are righteous, and most of them are scholars." Bai Wei showed a faint and helpless wry smile and sighed gently, "As a scholar, I have to agree with his point of view now!"
