Deep in the mountains of Fushan County.
On Yundang Mountain, Long Qie led eight thousand people and was still lingering. Wan Yanxian led 10,000 Mongolian soldiers and still surrounded Yundang Mountain with water, waiting for the dragon to run out of food and defeat without a fight.
Under such circumstances, Long Qie naturally did not know that Wu Nian had already sent troops.
But Wan Yanxian got the first-hand news.
In the cottage, in the big tent, the flames in the stove were burning constantly.
"Hahahaha." After receiving the news, Wan Yanxian stood up from his seat and let out a series of loud laughs, his eyes bright and scary.
Interesting, interesting. It was so much fun. Wu Nian, the turtle, really left Beishan Fort and attacked Guyun County.
This is a victory delivered to your door. Jin Huanshan can't kill you, I'll kill you.
After taking a deep breath, Wan Yanxian sat back on the stool, picked up the leg of lamb on the plate next to him, cut the meat into pieces with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"He is saving people, we are killing people. Long Qie can't hold on much longer, and my ten thousand soldiers are all around. Although I really want to chop off Wu Nian's head and give it to Jin Huanshan, but I have to eat in one bite. First, I want to chop off Wu Nian's head and give it to Jin Huanshan. Let’s talk about eating the dragon. Order all counties and cities to close their city gates tightly. The defenders are not allowed to go out of the city to attack the enemy, so as not to expose their flaws."
"As long as we defend the city, the mob in Beishan Fort will not be able to do anything to us. Once I kill Long Qie, I will gather my troops to defeat Wu Nian and take advantage of the situation to capture Beishan Fort."
Wan Yanxian was very excited, and the blood in his body began to boil. Long Qie is so boring. Only playing with an opponent like Wu Nian can seduce his interest.
But he was also very calm and to the point, not intending to reveal any flaws.
He has led troops for many years without ever failing. Although I have never studied guerrilla warfare, I instinctively know that it is very dangerous for defenders to go out of the city to fight fiercely.
Take insurance first and order the garrison to defend the city. To cope with all changes by remaining unchanged, let's first eat the fruit of victory in the first stage, the people Wu Nian wants to save, and then eat it.
"Yes." The captain, who was standing in front of Wan Yanxian across the stove, responded, turned around and went down to deliver the order.
"There is a way to heaven, but you don't take it. If there is no door to hell, you rush in. Just watch the dragon die and don't do anything to save people."
Wanyanxian sneered, and then he felt that it was too slow to cut with a knife, so he simply grabbed the whole leg of lamb with his right hand and started to eat it. He took big bites and his mouth was full of oil, as if he was a tiger eating.
To the west of Guyun County, about ten miles away, there is a mountain named Luyun. Luyun Mountain is flat and can be used to station troops and horses.
Zhang Jin led 300 elite soldiers and 800 militiamen, carrying a small amount of dry food on his back, and headed east in an upright manner, swaggering through the market, spreading news, and recruiting Long Qie's old troops.
Zhang Jin raised a banner on Luyun Mountain.
There are three banners: "Yan Han", "Fuxing Han General Wu", and "Zhang".
A snake can't do without a head, but it's different with a head.
Wu Nian was well-known, so Zhang Jin was able to pull off the tiger's skin. Long Qie's old tribe, which had been dispersed by the Mongolian soldiers near and far, and some heroes who were ready to make a move, came to Luyun Mountain one after another.
Within three days, he had gathered nine thousand troops. Half of them are strong and strong, and half are old and weak. When Long Qie broke through, there were still more than 30,000 people. In this ice and snow, many people froze and starved to death. Those who survived were mostly strong.
Luyun Mountain is now a mess, tents are stationed crookedly, people move around the mountain at will, and disputes occasionally break out.
What a ragtag bunch, of no use.
A green rock was covered with soil and hay. Zhang Jin carefully climbed onto the rock, holding the knife at his waist, looking at the camp, with the backbone of his men behind him. That is, people like Baihu and Zongqi.
He had three hundred men under his command for a long time. During the recent period of recruitment, there were originally six to seven hundred men, but Tieniu raided several hundred of them to form the [Tieniu Thousand Households].
We are all brothers. Besides, this is Wu Nian's order, so he has no complaints. But it also caused an embarrassment.
He had three hundred elite soldiers under his command, but there were actually ten hundred households.
"What a mob." After watching for a while, Zhang Jin showed a wry smile, jumped forward, and landed on the snow. His legs suddenly sank, and the snow reached his knees.
It's one thing to have a mob, but it's another thing to have insufficient food and grass.
Food cannot be transported in the snow, so they only brought a small amount of food when they went out. These rabble also have no provisions.
According to the plan, he should lead these nine thousand troops to attack Guyun County as a bluff. Let Wu Nian have the opportunity to surround the area and fight for reinforcements, and then capture Guyun and Shanguang counties.
If you have food, you can take your time and plan the layout. But if there is no food, we need to race against time.
Originally, Beishan Fort's only information about Guangyang Mansion was the topographic map drawn by Liu Zhixing.
The distribution of the garrison, the population, the food supply, and the identity of the garrison commanders in the four cities controlled by Wan Yanxian were not known at all. But as the people gathered, Zhang Jin got some information.
Ancient Cloud City is a small city, with a population of about 40,000 inside and outside the city. The current defenders number more than 2,000 people, all of whom are Han soldiers.
One thousand captain was named Xu Min, and the other thousand captain was named Lu Gu.
They are all said to be brave and good at fighting.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jin curled his lips. They are all unknown people. How can they be brave and good at fighting? If we meet on the battlefield, we won't be able to kill him with one blow.
It's just that they sit on the city, so it's harder to bite.
Also interesting.
The Meng Yuan soldiers looked down upon Wu Nian's soldiers and horses. Wu Nian's soldiers and horses also looked down upon thousands of Han households. Although Zhang Jin's soldiers and horses were also a ragtag group, it only took a few months to form an army with tens of thousands of Han households.
Both sides are the same word.
vegetable.
The situation in Shanguang City is a little worse than that in Ancient Cloud City. There are about 30,000 people inside and outside the city, and there are currently only more than 2,000 defenders in the city.
One thousand captain was named Liu Chong, and the other thousand captain was named Lu Guangzhi.
The most amazing thing is.
The county magistrate of Guyun County is called Linghu Zhi. This person is ordinary and not an important role. But coincidentally, his wife was the sister of Liu Chong, the commander of Shanguang City.
I heard that Liu Chong's parents died young and he was raised entirely by his sister. He respects his precious sister very much.
While he pretended to attack Guyun City, he sent people pretending to be Linghu Zhi's slaves to ask Liu Chong for help. Liu Chong was worried about his sister and led his troops to rescue her.
The general direction remains unchanged, but micro-control can be performed.
Zhang Jin thinks this strategy is good.
Surrounding a point for reinforcements also requires details.
It was impossible that as soon as he attacked Guyun City, Shanguang City immediately sent troops to rescue him.
"Find someone who is from Ancient Cloud City and is smart." Zhang Jin turned around, selected one from the row of hundreds of households behind him, and ordered.
"Yes." The chosen one responded and immediately went down to look for someone.
