Chapter 1160: I wish it could be exchanged for a hundred years of peace

The common people are concerned about the war situation in Eastern Xinjiang, but they don't have the heart to think carefully about what changes have taken place in the war situation. Naturally, they will not understand what effect it will play in this scattered chess game after Fang solves the problem of Dongjiang. Nor did you know that this place in Malan Mountain had become the center of the storm.

In fact, the north-south direction of Malan Mountain is not far, and if the road is flat, this distance can be completed in less than a day at most. But if you go over the mountains and mountains, you can't pass it for three or four days. And even if the mountain doesn't look majestic, how difficult is it to walk through it like a wasteland?

Therefore, the canyon has become a traffic artery.

The east and south of Xinjiang are separated, and this place is the throat.

There is no pass in the north of the Malan Mountain Gorge, and the city pass built in the south was built in the reign of Huizong of the Great Sui Dynasty. Once this place was the territory of the Chu State.

The north mouth of the canyon

Countless soldiers and ants moved back and forth, carrying wood on their shoulders or two people carrying stones, piling up at the mouth of the canyon. These Mufu soldiers appeared a day after the Black Flag Army's men and horses passed, and they had obviously been waiting here for a long time.

Mu Guangling stood on the high slope and watched his soldiers busy piling up wood and stones.

He ordered the exit to the north of the Malan Mountain Gorge to be blocked, which was not a small project. The Malan Mountain Canyon is not very narrow, and it is not rugged, after the Great Sui knocked down this territory from the hands of Eastern Chu, he knew the importance of this place, so he requisitioned more than 100,000 local migrant workers, and it took a year to clean up the canyon.

In the narrowest part of the canyon, thirty or forty people can pass side by side.

"Grandpa Guo!"

The scout sent by Wei An to report the news knelt down on one knee and said, "The general has sent me to report to you that the ranks of the Black Flag Army have entered the mountain pass. In addition, the team of foreigners also arrived. The foreigners who came this time were wearing a banner with a painting not a black morning glory, but a hyacinth, which should be Mox's team. The one who opened the way in front was the general of the Chu State who had at least 200,000 troops and asked the grandfather of the country to give instructions, what to do next. ”

"You go back and tell him not to go into a hard encounter with foreigners. After the foreigners passed, all roads were blocked. Whether it's a big road or a small road, it's all blocked. The battlefield that persecuted the foreigners and the Black Flag Army was dozens of miles away from the Malanshan Pass. The Black Flag Army passed over this time under Chen Dingnan's department, with no less than 100,000 horses. The Malanshan Pass can accommodate up to 10,000 people, and the rest of the men and horses must be stationed in front of the mountain pass, and thirty percent of the Black Flag Army are cavalry, which cannot be used to guard the pass. Therefore, once this battle starts, there will be battlefields within a radius of dozens of miles. ”

"No matter what kind of fight the two sides have, don't meddle indiscriminately."

Mu Guangling ordered: "Tell Wei An that his duty is to watch the battle." Unless the Black Flag Army defeats the foreigners and retreats, he must immediately block the retreat of the foreigners, otherwise, there is no need to send troops. ”

"Whoa"

The scout said yes and turned to leave.

Mu Guangling looked at his subordinates in the distance, and the canyon had been basically blocked. The piles of stone and wood were about half a man's height, and they should be completely sealed before dark. He knew that he could not call on many troops now, and that the million-strong army he was once proud of could now call on no more than 600,000 after several years of war.

Among them, 100,000 people stayed in Mufu City, and 100,000 people stayed in Shili Gorge to contain Fenghuangtai. This time, he dispatched almost all the teams that the northern cities could mobilize, and he did not gather enough 200,000. Wei An had 150,000 in his hands, and compared to the two enemies he wanted to swallow in one bite, he alone had no advantage over him.

So Mu Guangling hated and was angry.

Obviously, he is the master of Dongjiang, but now he is suppressed by others.

The number of foreigners in the eastern frontier has been increasing, the initial strength of Xiurens was almost 400,000, and in the past few years, the fighting with Mufu, coupled with the fighting with other forces, the strength of Xiurens's subordinates has been reduced to about 250,000. However, the reinforcements of the Opru Empire came from Eastern Chu in a steady stream, and Mox had hundreds of thousands of people in his hands, as well as the foreigner named Proze, and there were many troops under his command.

At the beginning of the Black Flag Army, there were only 100,000 horses in Nalan Dingdong, but after fighting back and forth, Mufu's strength suffered great losses, but the strength of the Black Flag Army was almost not reduced! Fang Xie came with at least 700,000 people from the Black Flag Army Brigade, and in Eastern Xinjiang, Mu Guangling became the one who looked at other people's faces!

This made Mu Guangling, who was used to being the emperor of the Eastern Territory, how could he accept it?

"Solution, Lyman"

Mu Guangling muttered to himself.

"You two are both unborn heroes, but this Eastern Xinjiang is my territory!"

His eyes were full of fire and excitement.

After this battle, neither of you will be able to show off your might in front of me.

He thought to himself.

What an exciting thing to do.

Lyman, this man from across the ocean. He ascended the throne at a young age, eradicated dissidents, and then developed his national strength to fight everywhere, and supported a small country that was only a third-rate on the other side of the ocean by his own strength, becoming the largest empire and the overlord of a continent!

Fang Xie was originally a little-known little person, relying on the luck of not knowing how to come, he actually recovered the southwest one after another, pacified the southern Yan, and then set the northwest, occupied Chang'an, and deterred Jiangnan, and now it seems that half of his ass is sitting on the throne.

With such two people as opponents, how could Mu Guangling not be excited?

Malanshan Pass

Chen Dingnan nodded after listening to his subordinates report on the path.

"Chen He, Chen Ci, Chen Xiao, Chen Zhong."

He looked at the four young generals standing in front of him: "When I left home, you followed me. Over the years, I have led you to fight in the south and the north, and have gone through hundreds of battles, large and small, and most of you have been killed or injured in the Chen Jiahua array beside me, and I have been promoted one after another in the past few years, because you all have courage, wisdom and ability. And today's battle is the time to test us. ”

He stood up, his face solemn: "The prince has handed over the most important matter to us, and this battle will definitely affect the pattern of the entire Eastern Xinjiang." We are in the middle of the whirlpool, and all the wind and waves are swinging around us. If this battle is won, I will protect the four of you in front of the prince! ”

"The general just commands!"

The four of them clasped their fists and said, "Subordinates obey the general's orders!" ”

"Good!"

Chen Dingnan said: "Now, I will tell you carefully about the prince's arrangement. ”

He walked to the front of the map and pointed: "The north has been blocked by Mu Guangling's men and horses, which is expected. The prince had secretly dropped General Chen Yishan to make a detour before, and estimated that he would arrive in the north of Malan Mountain in three or five days at the latest, but what General Chen Yishan had to do was just in case. In case of defeat, we can only retreat north, and General Chen Yishan is responsible for attacking Mu Guangling's team to fight a bloody way for us. ”

Chen Dingnan said: "I told you this first, I want to tell you that the prince didn't let us gamble, he arranged a way back for us." But what I want to say is that we have to show the morale of the desperate! ”

"Here!"

He pointed: "The army led by Sanjin Hou has been coming from the north day and night, and after the battle, it will be able to go around behind the army of foreigners named Xiurens." Xiurens wanted to be a fisherman, he wouldn't have thought that our people would be able to come from Shanhaiguan so quickly. You can think about how hard it is for the team to rush from Shanhaiguan to Malan Mountain these days! ”

"If we can't play well, I'm sorry they rushed to support so desperately."

Chen Dingnan said: "Now one south and one north, all have the backing of the army arranged by the prince, so we just have to let go and fight." If nothing else, the first to attack is the Chu State to surrender troops, these people are definitely unwilling to do things for foreigners, no one is willing to be a slave after the country is broken, the prince has arranged for someone to quietly go to see the generals of the Chu army, if you can rebel, it is naturally the best, but we must be prepared not to rebel. ”

"The people of Chu are arrogant, but they are not good at fighting. So at first I would fight back. ”

"Chen He, Chen."

Chen Dingnan ordered: "If the army of Chu is the first to attack, you two will obey my orders." Seeing me give the order, the two of you each took 10,000 cavalry and attacked the two wings of the Chu army from the left and right. The Chu army had no experience in fighting cavalry, and they did not have firearms in their hands, so even if there were some, there was nothing to worry about. The main thing is that the Chu army is bound to be war-weary, so it will not be too difficult to fight back. ”

"If the people of Chu don't dare to oppose the foreigners, what we have to do is to let the people of Chu lose one battle at a time in the next few days. The foreigners will be anxious if they can't wait a few days, and then the foreigners' army will attack directly. ”

He put a little more weight on the map: "Chen Xiao, Chen Zhong." ”

"The subordinates are here!"

The two young generals strode forward: "Please give the general orders." ”

"I'll give you two 10,000 infantry each, and you'll take your troops into the mountains tonight. You have already explored that path, and although it is rugged and difficult, you can go up the mountain to hide the soldiers. You sent people to look out from a high place, and when you saw my order fireworks in the sky, you immediately led your troops out of the mountains and struck straight to the flank of the foreigners. ”

"Whoa!"

The two of them answered, their faces resolute.

"Next, it depends on whether the people of Chu are willing to be slaves and do their best to attack, or they still have a conscience and don't do things for foreigners."

Chen Dingnan instructed: "Go and prepare!" ”

"Whoa!"

The four young generals clenched their fists and turned to withdraw.

Chen Dingnan walked slowly to the door, holding on to the railing and looking out of the mountain pass.

He had 100,000 men under his command, and all of them were camped outside except for those who were stationed in the mountain pass. If the enemy wants to attack, he must first start from the large camp outside. I don't know how tragic this battle will be, and how many of the good men outside who have come to fight to the death with foreigners who are far away from their hometowns will be able to return.

Chen Dingnan took a deep breath and seemed to ask faintly, with a hint of blood in the air.

His hand gripped the railing tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were tensed.

"The prince said that after I am forty years old, there should be no war in the world. I am not yet thirty years old, and there are still more than ten years of war in the world, and I hope that I can change the peace for a hundred years. ”
