Tieguan Mountain, the junction of the fiefdoms of King Kang and King Ming, is a mountainous forest area, with mountains stretching for 700 miles, separating King Kang's Nanjing from King Ming's Beijing. At this time, at one of the mountain ridges, a large army was passing over the mountain.
This place is already about three hundred miles away from Danyang Mansion where Yunze is located. The army crossing the mountain is wearing the uniforms of the Ming Dynasty army in Beijing.
Yunze was standing at the foot of the mountain, and next to him was Song Bingqing, who was smiling like a girl. Beijing was sending 100,000 troops this time, ready to help Yunze.
After solving the threat of the Jin army, Yunze went to Beijing. Although he only brought five thousand people's troops with him, after arriving in the capital of Beijing, King Ming, who became the emperor of Beijing, did not dare to touch Yunze.
Not only because of the five thousand troops in Yunze's hands, but also because his daughter and son have surrendered to Yunze. Almost all of the more than two hundred thousand troops in his hands are in the hands of his daughters.
The daughter's meaning is very simple, that is, let him take refuge in Yunze. If he is not willing to take refuge, she will directly let her brother take over and then take refuge.
At this time, King Ming already knew that he was being ignored and was unable to resist at all. In addition, several ministers who opposed were killed by Song Bingqing with the power of thunder. In the end, the entire government and the public had no choice but to defect to Yunze.
Song Bingqing left her younger brother to take charge of the overall situation in Beijing, while she and Yunze led their 100,000 troops to come for support.
What Yunze meant was to climb over the Tieguan Mountain in front of him, go around to the back of the Jin army, and attack from both sides, destroying the Jin army at the border in one fell swoop.
Wanyan Zonghan brought an army of 200,000 to destroy the entire Jing Dynasty. He probably never thought that half of his army would be lost.
He originally wanted to divide his troops into two groups. The other group was led by his son Wanyan Abao. It should be a very simple matter to destroy Beijing. But along the way, they encountered Song Bingqing and Yun Ze, and their entire army was destroyed.
He was probably still dreaming about letting his son deliver a fatal blow to Yunze's army from the side.
The army quickly crossed Tieguan Mountain. In front of them was a plain. Not far ahead, it should be the place where Yunze encountered an ambush when he first entered Beijing.
The Jin Army should be about a hundred miles ahead. If he wants to sneak attack the Jin Army's rear, Yunze must choose a suitable time.
Yunze commanded the army to sneak towards the rear of the Jin army. The 100,000-strong army almost stayed in daylight and emerged at night. Yunze was not in a hurry, because although the Jin army was coming fiercely, with Yue Pengju, a fierce general, he could definitely stop them.
Yunze even felt that Yue Pengju could definitely defeat the Jin Army. He believed in Yue Pengju. Therefore, he was prepared to give the Jin Army a fatal blow at the most critical moment.
Because the strategic plan could not be determined for a while, Yunze did not summon Yue Pengju. He was worried that his side would affect Yue Pengju's performance, so he might as well give Yue Pengju a surprise at the critical moment.
Yunze was arranging how to deal with the Jin Army. On the other side, the 50,000 cavalrymen of the People's Army had arrived at the designated location, and the five generals had their final meeting.
They gathered on a small slope. Many lines were drawn on the ground, and several places were marked with names.
"Yao Zhen, you go to the east road and ambush them at Tiger Leaping Gorge here. Intelligence shows that King Kang's army of 200,000 is divided into a front army and a rear army. The front army is 100,000 and the rear army is 100,000."
"You are responsible for stopping the 100,000 soldiers from the front army. As long as they are held back, Zhang Xian and Xu Qing will be responsible for attacking from both sides. By then, when the front army is in chaos, the rear army will definitely come to help. Leave the rest to me Follow Wang Gui."
As the leader of this operation, Yang Xing told the other four people. The five people had discussed a rough attack plan when they arrived.
The last time was just to determine the time and steps of the attack. In addition to the 50,000 cavalry he brought, Yue Pengju also prepared 10,000 mobile infantry for them. Among them were artillery and even the air force.
The only pity is that there are not many artillery and air forces. After all, these strategic resources are very few and it is impossible to tilt them on a large scale. Being able to provide so much help is already to increase their chances of winning.
However, with these things and their 50,000 cavalry, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat 200,000 King Kang's army.
The other four people nodded after hearing this, with caution in their eyes. Although they were full of confidence, they were facing an army of 200,000 people, which was nearly four times their number.
"From now on, we must fight with all our strength to kill the enemy, and we will live up to the cultivation that the commander and the young master have given us. I will smile to the sky with my sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder behind. Everyone, take care of it!" Yang Xing looked at the four of them again and said.
His words shocked the four people's hearts, their eyes surged with fire, and their blood surged in their bodies.
They fought together with Yunze from the fierce battle in Tokyo. They still remember Yunze's poem, so they like to recite it before every battle.
Every time they read it, they can arouse the blood in their hearts. It can also make them more confident.
"Hmm... I will smile to the sky with my sword across my sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact. Everyone... I'll see you on the battlefield. Let's see who among us kills the most enemies..."
"Haha... Just watch... I am smiling to the sky, leaving my liver and gallbladder behind... I am leaving..."
"Gone...haha..."
These few people are not Confucian generals, they show a sense of heroism and a hint of dominance. While laughing wildly, several people went their separate ways. Each of the 60,000 troops followed their own generals.
Only Yang Xing and his 20,000 troops were left in place. He was responsible for the defense, so the 10,000 infantry were left to him. The remaining four men each led 10,000 cavalry to their respective positions.
Yang Xing stood up and ordered the army to set off and head towards the Tiger Leaping Gorge ahead. They still have three days before Kang Wang's 200,000 troops will arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Behind King Kang's army, there were one hundred thousand Jin troops, but the distance between the two sides was about a hundred miles. Even if they discovered the sudden change on King Kang's army, it would take at least two to three hours for the Jin army to rush over and rescue them.
They wanted to defeat King Kang's army within two to three hours. Even if they could not wipe out all of King Kang's army, they would directly cripple them until they were unable to fight. If more than 100,000 of them can be eliminated, or even more, the expected results will be achieved.
As for Yang Xing and the other five, they must confidently wipe out more than 150,000 of King Kang's army of 200,000. As long as their tactics are used properly. It would be a one-sided massacre.
Not to mention, the weapons they possess are simply not comparable to King Kang's army. This also increased their combat effectiveness exponentially.
It took Yang Xing less than two hours to arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge. This was King Kang's territory. Ever since Danyang's army came, King Kang's forces in this area had long been scared away.
Yang Xing sent 20,000 troops out to dig trenches. There were more than ten miles of open land in this area, but in these open areas, there were many hills and mountains.
It is not that difficult for the army to march here. At most, it is more difficult than marching on the plains, but if it is compared to marching in the mountains and forests, it is much better.
Yang Xing wanted to use his 10,000 infantrymen to set up a line of defense here, coupled with the auxiliary cavalry of 10,000 people, to block King Kang's 100,000-strong army here.
As long as their marching rhythm is disrupted and a sneak attack is launched when the enemy is preparing to set up camp, the enemy can definitely be caught off guard. At the same time, coupled with interference and intimidation from the air force and artillery. The enemy's military morale is absolutely in chaos.
In three days, Yang Xing formed a solid defense line covering more than ten miles in this area. This is the place where King Kang's army must pass, and they may not have thought that there would be blocking tactics on their side.
In the past, most of the battles between the two armies were charging at each other, competing for bravery and morale.
But the new tactics taught by Yunze, coupled with the new weapons, can definitely surprise King Kang's army. Coupled with the cavalry's charge, let alone the 200,000 troops on the opposite side, even if there are 200,000 more, I'm afraid it will all fail in the end.
Just when preparations were sufficient here, the 100,000 former troops of King Kang's army had already arrived. The leader this time was King Kang's third son, Song Huan, compared with his brother Song Yu and the crown prince of King Kang. The newly appointed prince actually has similar talents.
Speaking of which, the position of prince was originally not his turn, as he had two brothers above him. Unfortunately, his two brothers got into trouble with Yunze and both died. Finally, his father ascended the throne and became the emperor, and he was lucky enough to become the prince.
In this southern expedition to Danyang, after King Kang took refuge with the Jin people, to show his sincerity, he asked the prince to personally lead the expedition.
In order to express himself, the prince did not stay in the rear army. Instead, he appeared in the front army and took over the command. The rear army was handed over to his brother-in-law.
The generals of King Kang's army were actually dissatisfied. They were two young boys who didn't even know how to march and fight, so how could they lead the army. If it weren't for the generals who came out of the military formations that echoed each other.
The new crown prince Song Huan even wanted an army of 200,000 to march together. Such a march was most undesirable. After all, a long queue of 200,000 people would not only cause the march to be slow, but also prone to chaos.
The march alone can be several miles long. Once a gang breaks out somewhere, it will easily cause panic if the front and rear troops are unaware of the situation.
The generals who accompanied them actually wanted to march in several military formations, preferably in a way that the front, rear, left and right could respond to each other. But he was rejected by the new crown prince.
So there are now two military formations of the first 100,000 and the last 100,000. Both armies felt very bloated. It is impossible to move nimbly while marching.
We were about to reach the Tiger Leaping Gorge ahead. Although the area there was wide, due to the terrain, it was not conducive to such a large-scale march.
One of the accompanying deputy commanders came to the carriage where the prince was sitting. The prince was used to being extravagant and extravagant. The leader did not ride a horse and liked to sit in his own carriage.
"Prince, the front is Tiger Leaping Gorge. Can you send 10,000 troops forward first, and our army will continue to advance? Or, can we divide our 100,000 troops into ten batches to cross the gorge?"
The deputy commander asked Song Huan cautiously. Although the length of the Tiger Leaping Gorge in front was only three or four miles, accidents might still occur due to the length of these three or four miles.
"General Lu, if we march like this, the speed will be too slow. When will we be able to cross the Tiger Leaping Gorge? Didn't you say that the depth there is only three or four miles? What can happen in such a short distance? Besides, the horizontal and vertical depth is very long. There are more than ten miles of land, and our 100,000 troops are in it. If anyone comes over, the terrain we occupy is just right for counterattack."
Song Huan said coldly in the car. He doesn't want to waste time here, let alone go on an adventure with the former army. Even though he says he doesn't care, in his heart he is still most afraid of death. If he is really asked to go ahead with the 10,000 former army, he will not do it. .
But if he was asked to wait here for the front army to pass by before setting off, it might take an hour, or even more. Marching was already boring, so he couldn't afford to wait.
"There is no need to be too cautious. The army continues to move forward and pass as quickly as possible!" Song Huan continued to say.
Following his voice, the deputy commander next to the car opened his mouth, and could only swallow back what he wanted to say. He was just a minister, and was promoted by the other party. At this time, if he makes the other party uncomfortable, he is making himself uncomfortable. .
Although he was a little worried, he could only agree with the other party's words and command his troops to start rushing forward.
Soon, everyone appeared in front of Tiger Leaping Gorge. However, just as the army walked onto one of the hilly areas, suddenly, a banging sound sounded from the hills.
At the same time, many figures emerged from this hilly land, less than ten meters away from their front army. Those who had just arrived at King Kang's army fell in large numbers in an instant.
The remaining people haven't understood what happened, let alone expected that they would unexpectedly encounter someone here. They visually guessed that there was no talent in this hilly land. You can't see anyone from the side.
Not only in the hilly land here, but also in all the hilly land ahead, a group of people appeared out of nowhere. These people came up and attacked them with firecrackers.
They had heard of this thing before. During the last battle with Yunze, King Kang's army suffered a big loss with the golden gun.
"It's the People's Army, the People's Army of Danyang Prefecture, retreat quickly..." I don't know who was the first to speak, and those Kang Wang's troops immediately retreated in fright.
Just as they were retreating, the prince Song Huan, who was in the military formation, was alarmed by the sound. He finally got out of the carriage and looked at the situation ahead. His face turned slightly pale.
However, he quickly calmed down and shouted angrily at his subordinates: "Why are you panicking? There are just enemies blocking the way. Where are the shield soldiers? Set up a shield for the prince and kill all the enemies ambush in front of him. Huh... How dare you block it? To ambush in front of the army is really asking for death..."
He saw that although there were enemies blocking the road ahead, there seemed to be not many of them. Thinking of Song Huan, who had an army of 200,000 on his side, his face was full of excitement and excitement.
This was a good opportunity for him to make a contribution. With a hundred thousand troops on his side, he could not kill all the enemies in front of him.
Not to mention, there were still 100,000 troops in the rear. Thinking of this, he quickly ordered someone to send the 100,000 troops in the rear to follow. He felt that there might be tens of thousands of enemies in the Tiger Leaping Gorge ahead. This was just right. They had 200,000. The army crushed these enemies to death.
Seeing this, the deputy commander on the side wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but in the end he sighed and said nothing more. He just hoped that there wouldn't be too many enemy troops ahead. I also hope that these enemies are really stupid enough to block the road ahead.
Following Song Huan's order, the soldiers of King Kang's army suppressed their fear of the People's Army and finally began to counterattack again, with shield soldiers in front and archers and spearmen waiting behind. Nearly ten thousand people first launched an attack on the hilly land ahead.
At this time, the people's army on the hills retreated. Seeing this scene, Song Huan showed a look of ecstasy on his face. He felt that the People's Army was afraid and wanted to escape.
This aroused his competitive spirit, and he vowed to leave the enemies who blocked them. Without waiting for the deputy commander's order, he quickly ordered his 100,000 troops to pursue them.
Soon, all 100,000 troops rushed forward. Song Huan also got off the carriage and followed the army on horseback. When he appeared in the hilly areas where he was blocked every time.
The scene that appeared in front of him made his face full of astonishment.
