In the military tent, the group had already sat down, waiting for orders. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiao Fenghe looked at everyone in front of him and said solemnly: "Rank." You should know that the people of Taiyuan City are retreating at this time, and if they are invaded by the Mongols at this time, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. So I had to stay here for seven days to buy enough time for them to retreat to Binh Duong. ”

"I'll understand!"

Nodding heavily, Zhao Zhi only felt that his body was heavy, and the rest of the people were also sitting upright, waiting for orders.

At this moment, in Taiyuan City, the Chinese Sect and the Quanzhen Sect are appeasing the people, if there are those who are willing to follow, they will be allowed to join the team, and if there are those who want to leave on their own and enter the mountains and forests to avoid trouble, they are also allowed to leave, that is, those who plan to stay in Taiyuan City are also persuaded to let them understand the danger.

Everything went in order, provided that the Mongol army would not come and disturb it.

"That being the case, then you will lead a thousand soldiers and horses to attack Chitang Pass. Remember, this battle was not a capture of the city, the purpose was to suppress the opponent so that it could buy time for our army. After all, Shi Tianze has countless strong generals and tens of thousands of armor, if he is not blocked in Chitang Pass, and when the opponent's forces are deployed, then we will definitely be trapped by it, and we will not be able to get out at all. It is precisely for this reason that I asked you to move north, the purpose is to contain the other party here, so as not to give the other party a chance. Do you know?" Xiao Feng carefully advised, lest the other party not understand what he meant, and let the sergeant suffer damage.

"The last general understands!"

Zhao Zhi left straight away and began to prepare for the next thing.

After a pause, Xiao Fenghe looked at the others and said, "Even so, you can't let go." There is also movement in the rest of the Mongols, and if they take advantage of this opportunity to attack, our army will be in danger. For Shi Tianze, who once narrowly attacked Taiyuan City, she has always been the most cautious, so as not to let the tragedy of Taiyuan City repeat again.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the staff officers did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and all of them began to operate in order to ensure that the whole war was under their control.

On the other side, Zhao Zhi had already brought his soldiers and horses to Chitangguan Town.

As soon as I arrived here, I heard the sound of people in the distance and the galloping horses, which were the world-famous Mongolian cavalry. After being defeated by the Red Phoenix Army several times, these murderous Mongol cavalry had long been unable to bear it, and wanted to use their sabers to cut off the heads of those who resisted one by one, so as to announce the horror of Mongolia.

Now, after getting Shi Tianze's permission, these cavalry immediately rushed out of this Chitang Pass like a group of wolves out of the cage, screaming and screaming, and for a while the sand and dust rose and the waves surged, like a huge wave swallowing the sky, wanting to completely annihilate the Red Phoenix Army that had been arranged.

"Is the cavalry charged? This kind of tactic, if it is an ordinary military formation, it will naturally be invincible, but do they think it can still work against us?"

Smiling contemptuously, Zhao Zhihe looked at the cavalry in the sky, but he was not afraid.

On his side, there were already thirty-six huge cannons lined up, this huge cannon was more than a foot long, and the caliber was enough to stuff into a fist, all of them raised their muzzles slightly to aim at the cavalry in the distance, and next to them were also three or five men with big shoulders and thick waists, stacks of black powder wrapped in silk and projectiles forged from fine iron were also neatly arranged, waiting for an order.

After the Quanzhen Sect joined, the Red Phoenix Army obtained their knowledge of the manufacturing method of the Tiangang Arrow, and combined with their own gunpowder method, they came up with this captivity cannon and the equipped Thunder Bullet.

Although it does not have the ability to move as it pleases, it also has the ability to control the explosion independently.

Under the blow, within ten zhang, there is the place where the thunder prison is vertical and horizontal.

Since the attack and defense of Taiyuan City, Xiao Feng ordered the Iron Smelting Institute to do its best to cast this captival cannon, and now it has made 36 captives and more than 1,000 thunderbolts, all of which have been brought here, so as to use the advantage of artillery to resist the opponent's numerical advantage.

"Fire!"

With a soft shout, thirty-six captives fired in unison.

The gunpowder was ignited by the red crystal, and then accompanied by the rumbling cannon, the thunder bullet immediately came out of the chamber, and in an instant it had come to the sky above the Mongolian cavalry, and the whole projectile immediately burst open, and the infinite power conceived in it was immediately released, and a thunder and flames gushed out, immediately staining all the cavalry within ten zhang, making it howl in pain, and then fell to the ground with a "bang", and was trampled into flesh by the many war horses that followed.

Receiving this fierce attack, the cavalry that followed up the attack suddenly stopped, not daring to break into this thunder-covered area, and the soldiers scattered in front were also frightened, but there was a warlord in the rear staring, so they had to fight hard to continue the charge.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and ordered again: "The whole army, charge immediately." ”

The Krup Cannon stopped immediately, after all, the Thunder Projectile is limited and needs to be used sparingly.

However, at this time, the tiger squat cannon also began to resound in the sky, after all, those cavalry had entered the range of the tiger squat cannon, and there were hundreds of people in this formation, they were divided into more than a dozen teams, the shield hand focused on resisting the opponent's shots, the axe hand focused on killing the enemy who rushed over, and the crossbowman focused on shooting the opponent with a gun, and for a time a dozen phalanxes were like a tornado, and they shot those scattered cavalry one after another quite quickly, leaving no one alive.

Faced with this heavy barrier, the Mongol cavalry had no choice but to retreat and find another way.

Despite this, Zhao Zhi was unwilling, raised his head and looked into the distance, and immediately asked, "Although it is to repel the opponent's attack." But with our strength, can't we capture this Chitang Pass?"

Since Shi Tianze retreated to Xinzhou, he ordered the mobilization of troops to rebuild this Chitang Pass. ”

Qin Jian, who was in charge of the Shenji Battalion, shook his head and said helplessly: "After the repair, this Chitang Pass has been greatly improved compared to the past, and the defense of the city wall alone is divided into three layers, each layer is half a mile away from each other, and the road is narrow and difficult to form an encirclement. Moreover, the other side is also guarded by city-breaking artillery, and it is really difficult for us to overcome it in a short period of time with our little soldiers and horses. ”

Before this, Xiao Feng had already sent Cheng Feng to lead his reconnaissance troops to find out the situation of the other party, and naturally knew that it would be difficult to capture Chitang Pass with only his own troops.

"Anyway, all we want is to delay the other party's troops, so we don't need to be in a hurry. Zhao Zhi replied, but his eyes were still staring at the level in front of him.

I saw the Chitang Pass in the distance, with towering mountains on both sides, the terrain is very steep and makes it difficult to climb, leaving only a sheep intestine trail in the middle to go deep into the mountains, and here has already built a city wall with mountain stones and wood, which happens to block the whole road.

This is Chitang Pass, is one of the three passes of ancient Taiyuan, because it is located in Hezhuang Village, Gaocun Township, Yangqu County, also known as "Hezhuang Pass", and the Shiling Pass 30 miles away is the horn of each other, its military position is very important, no matter the south attacks the north, the north attacks the south, the victory can advance quickly, the defeat can correspond to each other, it can be called the important pass of both attack and defense, it is the traffic point of Taiyuan leading to Dai, Yun, Ning, Shuo, known as the gateway of Taiyuan Xinding in and out.

The reason why Shi Tianze retreated to Xinzhou and stuck to this pass was to use this level to completely cut off the connection between the Red Phoenix Army and the north, so that he could only curl up in Jinzhong and could not move.

Now, Zhao Zhi had already led his army to this place, just to be able to lock up the other party and make it impossible for him to move south.

And in Chitang Pass, Shi Tianze stood high above the city head and looked into the distance, and at the foot of the city wall, huge pits were all over it, and even part of the city wall was completely collapsed, and the rubble was scattered all over the place.

These fortified walls, which did not guarantee their integrity under the shelling of the Krüpture guns, were still completely destroyed.

"Uncle, the Red Phoenix Army is really powerful, although we sent strong soldiers, we were still defeated by the other party. Shi Ji looked nervous, obviously shocked by the previous battle.

The shooting of the continuous artillery really surprised him, and if he hadn't moved his troops back in time, he was afraid that he would have been killed on the spot by the cannon in the sky. This kind of warfare has completely surpassed the past combat experience of the historical records, and even feels that what I have learned in the past is useless at all.

Because no matter what kind of combat method it is, under the sound of this thick cannon, it will inevitably become a pile of bones.

"It's just a little blocked, and it's not that the food and grass are cut off, so you don't have to worry. ”

Shi Tianze was not in a hurry, but was a little proud: "Just looking at the performance of the other party, presumably the Red Phoenix Army is really anxious." actually waved the army, and it looked quite powerful, and actually used a killing weapon such as a siege gun. ”

"In that case, uncle. After all, according to the fierce offensive of the Chifeng Army, I am afraid that this Chitang Pass will also be lost. Shi Ji asked in a low voice.

Although the number of the Chifeng army is small, but the military discipline is strict and there are many firearms, although they have several times the strength of the force, they can't block the edge, if it weren't for Shi Tianze in charge, I am afraid that this Chitang Pass will fall into the hands of the other party.

He and Shangba were both self-righteous, and they were defeated by Xiao Feng in the first battle of Yushe City, which is exactly the reason.

"It's okay!"

Shi Tianze waved lightly, and immediately calmed everyone down: "Although the Red Phoenix Army is fierce, its strength is weak and it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops. That being the case, you led your men and horses to enter the flank from Shiling Pass to attack its rear flank. In this case, in order to avoid being encircled and suppressed, the other party will definitely lead the army to retreat, so that the crisis of Chitang Pass can be solved. ”

"Boy understands!"

After receiving this order, Shi Ji immediately led 5,000 soldiers and horses to leave, preparing to go south from Shiling Pass, and then threaten the rear wing of the Red Phoenix Army.

In this case, Cheng Feng, who was located on Guanmao Mountain, naturally knew about it, and passed the news to the people in the staff of the Red Phoenix Army. Hearing this news, Zhao Zhi immediately became nervous. At present, they only have 7,000 people, and it is already difficult to resist Shi Tianze's 40,000 soldiers and horses.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Zhi immediately found Xiao Feng and asked: "At present, Chengfeng has discovered that the Mongolian army is sending troops from Shiling Pass, and if we continue to besiege Chitang Pass, I am afraid that we will fall into the encirclement of the other party." It will be difficult to escape. ”

"No! ”

Xiao Feng said secretly, "That's true", she has been thinking hard about the other party's strategy these days, and naturally she has expected this situation.

"Continue to attack?" Zhao Zhi was surprised for a moment.

Xiao Feng said in a deep voice: "That's right. Keep attacking. The Mongolian army is ready to attack at this moment, and if we are easily discouraged, I am afraid that the other side will take the opportunity to attack, and it will be difficult for us to resist the other party at that time. ”

"But what if that army attacks us from the rear?"

Zhao Zhi had doubts, in the military strength was already below, if he was still in the situation of being attacked on both sides, wouldn't it be very sure to seek death?

Xiao Feng did not move, and continued to order: "When the time comes, I will have my own methods, and you just act according to the order." His eyes wandered, but he fell on the pure yang iron box, his fingers on it and kept rubbing, and his face was still confident.

Although Zhao Zhi didn't know the situation, he knew that his lord had never done anything that he was not sure about, and the presiding officer of the Sakya Temple, Pa Sipa, had sent out to forcibly seize this pure yang iron box, and it was obvious that there must be some secret hidden in this iron box, and it was precisely because of this that his lord was so confident that even if he was surrounded by the other party, he would be able to escape and ascend to heaven.

"My subordinates understand!"

Zhao Zhi naturally complied with the order and retreated.

However, Xiao Feng only pointed a little in this pure yang iron box, causing it to automatically open to reveal the Xuanyang Heart Bead in it, and the brilliance flashed in it, showing all the surrounding thirty miles.

Looking at the immovable Chitang Pass in the distance, Xiao Feng said secretly: "The decisive time is today." I'm afraid I'll just have to see what you're capable of when the time comes!" When the words fell, she immediately flicked her hand, and the pure yang iron box was immediately re-sealed, protecting the Xuanyang Zhixin Bead in the center, and then walked towards the outside of the tent.

With her current cultivation, it is naturally easy to move herself, but if she moves thousands of troops and horses in an instant, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

............

Three days later, the sky was clear, and the history of the road was already leading his soldiers and horses like a bamboo, all the way towards Baijing Town.

"Is that the town of Shirai?"

Reining in the war horse under him, Shi Ji pointed the gun at the town in the distance.

And beside him, a spy had already replied: "That's right, that's Baijing Town." According to our investigation, there are only more than 100 people in this Baijing Town. And the Red Feng Army is at the Chitang Pass thirty miles away at the moment, and it will take at least half a day to rush back to this place. ”

"In that case, isn't the destruction of the Red Phoenix Army at this moment?"

Hearing the news, Shi Ji was already laughing.

Even the cavalry behind him, it was difficult to suppress the excitement of the war horses under him, and the horse's hooves were gently raised, splashing a puff of smoke and dust, just waiting for orders.

The main force of the Red Phoenix Army is fighting with Shi Tianze and the others in Chitang Pass, and he only needs to control this Baijing Town, he can cut off the grain and grass, and even if the Red Phoenix Army has great ability, in the absence of food and grass supply, the whole army will be wiped out.

"In that case, then wait and go with me!"

Full of joy, Shi Jigao waved the spear in his hand, and rushed towards Baijing Town in the distance, and the Mongolian army behind him was also full of killing intent, like a wave of waves, and the momentum followed, wanting to completely submerge the town in front of him.
