Chapter 16 20,000 elite soldiers have entered, and the soldiers are directed at Fenzhou City
Full of loess, full of ravines. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the territory of this mountain, a cavalry was galloping, running towards the place where the sun was rising. Although the sun was scorching and the heat wave was soaring, these cavalrymen did not dare to do it twice, and they buried their heads in the dust and sand and ran into the distance.
According to the marshal's order, they must arrive in Lüliang within seven days, and take the north to take the city of Taiyuan, so that they can form a siege with Shi Tianze, and completely block the Red Phoenix Army in Taiyuan, so that it can not echo from the end to end, and can only be trapped in one place.
But at this moment, there was dust rising in the distance, and I saw that it was Li Yuanfu, who had gone deep into Fenzhou alone and encouraged the people here to gather together to besiege Fenzhou.
And when they saw him coming, the cavalry gear turned sideways and made way for him to come directly to the marshal who was in the heart of the army. And in this military array, there is a person standing on the tall horse, the body is as tall as a tiger and a leopard, a pair of sharp eyes are fierce, and the full mouth and beard are even more rude, it is really a generation of northland madmen.
When Li Yuanfu saw this person, he no longer showed off his previous publicity, and immediately bowed his head and said cautiously: "Father." What you told me has been done. ”
"Oh. I know!" Responding casually, Li Minghao stared at it and asked again: "That's right." Have you gotten the firearms in the Red Phoenix Army?"
Taken aback by these words, Li Yuanfu was immediately frightened and asked in a low voice: "Please forgive the child for being stupid and not handling this matter." ”
"No! Even so, then why did I send you to Fenzhou?" An angry face appeared, Li Minghao immediately scolded, and even took the leather whip off his waist and whipped Li Yuanfu at this time.
Crackling, every blow was merciless, all fell on Li Yuanfu's back, causing his skin to open and blood to flow all over the ground, even so, Li Yuanfu still gritted his teeth, continued to kneel on the ground, and begged in a low voice: "Please forgive the child for being incompetent and not solving the problem for his father." It's just a father, who didn't mention it when you told your child to go, so why do you wonder now?"
"Humph!"
Hearing this, Li Minghao was immediately annoyed: "Who knows what the Khan thought that day, and he didn't allocate it to me because of the lack of firearms." I don't even have a single siege cannon or a hand cannon under my command. Although I have 20,000 cavalry, if I don't have this firearm, wouldn't it be the same as bare-handed in the eyes of the other party?" After saying that, he swept over Li Yuanfu, who was trembling on the ground, and became even more angry: "It's all called you incompetent, and you have forgotten about this matter." ”
He is also a fierce general who fought in the army, and naturally knew that when the Chifeng Army annihilated the He monk Batu with firearms, the form of the war in the world began to change.
If you don't have a firearm as sharp as a tiger cannon or a gun, then you will only be slaughtered by others like being naked against a special forces armed to the teeth. It was precisely because of this that after he found out that his army was not equipped with firearms, he began to get anxious, trying to let his children reveal the secret of firearms manufacturing in the Red Phoenix Army, so that he could also make firearms.
Li Yuanfu understood the reason and hurriedly persuaded: "Father, don't be afraid. I have already laid a secret line in Fenzhou, even if there are firearms to help. When the time comes, as long as I secretly order, the other party will naturally open the door and surrender, and all the secrets of the Chifeng Armament will naturally be known to my father. At that time, what was there to worry about?"
If you do something wrong against him, you have to be beaten half to death, and you can only exonerate yourself by telling him something that you are happy about.
Li Minghao put away the long whip and laughed: "Even so, I blamed you for it." "Looking into the distance, the ray of sunlight has faded away, but it is shrouded in endless darkness, and after a long day of marching, the whole army is also a little tired, and it is time to rest.
"Immediately lead the whole army to rest in place. ”
After instructing the cavalry around him to convey the order, a hint of love appeared in Li Yuanfu's eyes: "And you are also back." Then I will give you five thousand cavalry as a vanguard, and I will test the enemy's tracks. Remember, we must ensure the safety of our army's route, you know?"
"The child understood. ”
Lee Myung-ho immediately bowed his head and accepted the order.
Since the other party said so, he had no room to resist.
After all, as his father, Li Yuanfu will never allow anyone to dare to disobey his orders, even his wife and children.
The night returned, the full moon was shining, and another day had passed. After the second day, Li Yuanfu had already gathered his troops and horses, and brought out a gust of wind and dust, which was swallowed up by the huge hole that cracked in the ground. These have been eroded by flowing water for a long time, and each one is very large, the largest can reach the top and the inside, and the small one cannot even be walked by the horses, making it an excellent hiding place.
If someone is hiding troops nearby, I am afraid that even if they are close, it will be difficult to find them.
It is precisely because of this that Li Minghao will let Li Yuanfu serve as the vanguard to search for this place where the ground has collapsed, so as to ensure the safety of the entire army.
Walking in this ravine, Li Yuanfu was silent, just looked coldly at everything around him, the mountain walls on both sides were steep and almost vertical, leaving only a gap in his head for the sun to fall, as if the entire sky had been cut in half. And they walked in this ravine, going deeper and deeper into every realm, so as to make sure that there was no enemy in this ravine.
Although the Red Phoenix Army was restrained by Shi Tianze, there has always been no shortage of rebels on this vast land.
If one of them accidentally falls into a trap, it is a trivial matter to lose their troops, and if they delay the fighter plane and let the Red Phoenix Army escape, then they should be killed.
After a brief truce with the Song Dynasty, the biggest goal of the entire Mongolia at present is to completely annihilate the Red Phoenix Army, so that it will be completely wiped out without leaving a trace of life, and it is precisely because of this that their Great Khan Wo Kotai will mobilize more than 100,000 personnel, plus the people are close to a million huge army, in order to be able to completely wipe out the Red Phoenix Army.
There is no other reason, just because the location of the Red Phoenix Army is too important.
The north can threaten the Mobei generation, the south can contact the Southern Song Dynasty, the east can take the Jianghuai generation, and the west can also seize the Hetao generation, such an important place is controlled by the Red Phoenix Army, which is undoubtedly equivalent to being placed in the heart of Mongolia with a long needle, only need to poke sharply to make this behemoth crash to the ground, no longer the breath of the past.
And their father Li Minghao also had this intention in mind, trying to occupy this land in Jinzhong through the Eastern Expedition, so as to further expand his power, so as to make it stronger and more powerful, and to look at his life's long-cherished wish.
Thinking about this, Li Yuanfu was silent.
It's just that there are still people around him who are indignant and whisper: "Young marshal." Please forgive the general for saying that your efforts are really not worth it. ”
"Sister Wei, don't talk nonsense. My father did it for the sake of the great plan, and I am his son, so it is natural that I should do my filial piety for him. What is the need to sacrifice mere sacrifice?" staring at him, Li Yuanfu scolded in a low voice.
"But the young marshal. You also know that the marshal has a fierce temperament and is ruthless, and in the past he once sat back and watched his own people be wiped out by the Mongols, and only wanted to survive for himself, otherwise how could he exchange it for the glory he has today?" Compared to the red thief and demon girl, it is really too far behind. ”
Li Yuanfu just shook his head and continued to persuade: "If it weren't for my father's enduring humiliation, how could we escape and survive in the world? ”
"I know!" Frightened by this, Wei Mingmeile immediately stopped talking, but she stopped talking.
In this battle, although they had 20,000 cavalry, but the battle was far beyond the Hengshan, far beyond the ability of the soldiers, and the labor expedition was very stressful on the grain and grass and logistics, and there was no firearms and other weapons to help, if it was against the Red Phoenix Army, I really didn't know who won and who lost in this battle.
The two of them stopped talking, but continued to advance with the army.
As soon as the three days passed, they had already passed safely from the Hengshan Mountain, and they had already arrived in front of Luliang City. Look at this place, the strange peaks are towering and straight into the sky, the ground is full of ravines and valleys to cut the earth, the hills are undulating and even more vast, and every place reveals the old age that spans the world.
"Is that Luliang City?"
Standing on a high ground, Li Minghao looked at an ancient city in the distance.
According to Wenshui, a circle of city walls against the mountains is undulating, and finally a circle, and within this city wall, the people who have lived here for generations are starting a day's work according to the old days, carrying water, cooking, weaving, weaving, on the hillside not far away, there are some pigs and sheep leisurely grazing plants on it, and there are a few herdsmen waiting next to it, taking care of it on the side.
Everything seemed to be very leisurely, but they did not know that a few miles away from here, a cavalry was rushing towards this side with teeth and claws.
Li Minghao beckoned to Li Yuanfu in the distance and said, "Li Yuanfu." You will lead your soldiers and horses to take this Luliang City for me. In addition, the army was running out of food and grass for several days, so it was necessary to collect enough food from the city to ensure the needs of the entire army. Got it?"
"I see. ”
Li Yuanfu immediately acted according to the order, and rushed into the city of Luliang with his soldiers and horses.
The strength of the Chifeng army is too weak, and it can only deploy its only forces on important military places such as Taiyuan Mansion, Fenzhou City, and Pingyang Mansion, and as for this Luliang City, it is simply unable to divide enough troops to ensure safety, and can only rely on the wealthy families in its city to organize themselves to resist the enemy's invasion.
However, with these gentry alone, how can they fight against Li Yuanfu's elite cavalry?
After a while, the city wall was completely breached, and the Mongolian cavalry also stepped on the horse's hooves to break into this ancient city and slaughter, and those who saw the grain, cattle, sheep and livestock were all pulled away and rushed into the army, this place is too far away from Yinchuan, and there are 800 miles of Hanhai in the middle of it, in order to meet the needs of the army, there is only to grab food on the spot.
Whoever resists, there will be no forgiveness!
This is what the Mongolian army has always done, and the Red Phoenix Army is now in trouble in the land of Jinzhong, which can be said to be panicked under Mongolian rule, and the uprisings have come and gone, which is really a headache. It is precisely because of this that Nawo Kotai does not intend to play any benevolent and righteous acts, and he will not control the actions of the army under his command at all, and they have done too much about the so-called massacre of the city, so they will not care at all.
With deterrence to deter the heroes, now those uprisings have also been suppressed, and only the Red Phoenix Army needs to be wiped out, and the entire northern land will be completely stable.
Wokotai has always been decisive in killing, so naturally he doesn't care about his reputation.
And this Li Minghao doesn't care at all, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, naturally there is no obstacle, and the entire city is brought under his command quite smoothly, and the next goal is naturally Fenzhou, which is three hundred miles away from here, only need to occupy Fenzhou to directly cut off the logistics supply of the Red Phoenix Army, and can directly threaten Luzhou City and Taiyuan City with this place.
At that time, he only needs to wait on the side to watch the Red Phoenix Army and Shi Tianze fight each other, at that time, in order to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army, Shi Tianze will definitely pay a tragic price, and then he can take advantage of the situation, and when he successfully annihilates the Red Phoenix Army, he can also completely take those firearms and their casting methods as his own, and even take the opportunity to get rid of Shi Tianze, who has always been a great threat to himself。
Not to mention this, the fall of Luliang City was quickly transmitted to the ears of Jinmeng and Qiu Lie in Fenzhou.
"I didn't expect that Li Minghao to be so fast, but he actually came here on the fourth day?" With a worried face, Jin Meng only felt that the pressure doubled.
This disparity in the war, he also began to lift for the first time, he was under the protection of Xiao Feng before, so he had never experienced it, but now it is really all on his shoulders, it is really heavier than Mount Tai.
Qiu Lie asked, "In that case, how should we deal with it?"
"Although that guy has captured Luliang City, but the vicinity of Luliang City is full of mountains, and the mountain road is difficult to cross and cannot be crossed, and a single person may be able to act, but if he leads tens of thousands of troops, it is definitely difficult to come. Therefore, if this person wants to exterminate our Red Phoenix Army, when he goes to Fenyang and then steps into Fenshui from this city, he can use this place to threaten our army's grain and grass transportation line, facing north can threaten Taiyuan City, facing south can threaten Fenzhou City, so we can only take the initiative to make it trapped in Fenyang without causing serious consequences. Qiu Lie swept over everyone and immediately shouted.
All the officers and priests in the room replied, "I know." Then he left the table and began to prepare for everything.
They didn't expect that Li Minghao would act so quickly, although it was so fortunate that he had been prepared before, so he didn't need to make more preparations to act, although there were only 6,000 soldiers and horses, but with a strong city, firearms and gunboats, he should be able to support the opponent's troops for a period of time, and then he only needed to support until the main force of the Chifeng Army led by Xiao Feng arrived, so he could naturally lift the danger.
