The scope of Yunluan Mountain is about a thousand hectares, but the terrain is not very steep. Most of the mountain roads are only gentle slopes. The mountain pass in the west is also relatively wide. There is dense vegetation below the mountainside. The height of the main peak is only more than 200 feet.
In short, Yunluan Mountain is by no means a natural chasm.
Zhao Junchen originally chose Yunluan Mountain as a place for an ambush because he believed that the terrain of Yunluan Mountain was both conducive to hiding troops and allowing the army to move quickly.
However, although such a mountainous terrain is conducive to hiding troops and operations, it is not conducive to defense!
In fact, luring the enemy to attack Yunluan Mountain was only Zhao Junchen's temporary plan, which exceeded Zhao Junchen's pre-war expectations. Otherwise, Zhao Junchen would definitely choose a place with steep terrain as his camp.
Fortunately, because Yunluan Mountain is close to the south bank of Xiaochuan River, only two or three miles away from the battlefield, it may be affected by the war at any time, and Zhao Junchen is a man who cherishes his life, so before the war began, he naturally focused on strengthening the defense of Yunluan Mountain. , when arranging for the substitute Mo Xiaolin to enter the battlefield, Zhao Junchen even ordered the defenders to seize the time to make arrangements.
Nowadays, these arrangements come in handy.
When the Mongols attacked Yunluan Mountain, they saw that the mountain was relatively flat and the number of defenders was not large. They originally thought they could attack the mountain in one go, but they did not expect that they would hit the iron plate hard. !
I saw rolling logs and rocks rolling down the hillside, not only killing and injuring many Mongolian cavalry, but also blocking the originally spacious mountain road in Yunluan Mountain!
The defenders occupied a commanding vantage point and kept shooting arrows. The number of arrows was not very dense, but the Mongolian cavalry had no room to escape, let alone the ability to fight back. These arrows were still deadly enough!
There were many sharp blades and tripping ropes hidden in the grass near the mountain road, which caused the Mongolian cavalry to suffer a lot during the charge!
Therefore, the Mongols' first two hasty attacks on the mountain were quickly repulsed, and at the cost of more than a hundred lives.
"Damn it! I fell into a trap! This is a trick by the Han people to lure us into dividing our forces!"
Seeing that Yunluan Mountain was heavily guarded, it was obvious that it had been prepared for a long time. Yasida finally realized belatedly that all this was a trick of the cunning Han people, and couldn't help but feel furious!
I originally thought that I was plotting against the Han imperial envoy, but I didn't expect that the Han imperial envoy was also plotting against me. When I wanted to "capture the thief and capture the king", the Han imperial envoy also had the idea of "moving the tiger away from the mountain"!
However, while she was filled with anger, Yasida was also slightly panicked!
Yasida has rich combat experience and has already vaguely guessed Zhao Junchen's intention!
In order to hunt down the Han imperial envoy, Yasita took away more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry from the battlefield. He originally thought that he could make a great contribution in one fell swoop, but he did not expect that he could not catch the Han imperial envoy. Instead, he was dragged at the foot of Yunluan Mountain. dilemma! As the Mongolian troops on the main battlefield were reduced by nearly half, it was naturally difficult to withstand the siege of the Han army! After all the remaining Mongolian soldiers on the battlefield are annihilated by the main force of the Han army, Yasida will also be attacked by the Han army inside and outside. It will definitely be a disastrous defeat, and it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated!
Thinking of this, Yasida was naturally panicked and felt that the overall situation was not good.
On the other side, Amul also thought of the same moment and asked urgently: "General Yasida, what should we do? Although the mountains here are not very steep, the Han army has obviously been prepared for a while. We couldn’t break through it for a while, so it must have been a deliberate attempt to lure us here... But because of this division, our troops on the rear battlefield are weak, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on for too long! Or should we return to the battlefield immediately?”
Yasida felt fierce in her heart, but said in a vicious voice: "It's useless to go back now! Behind us is the battlefield, and there is no way to escape. The only way is to attack the mountain as soon as possible and seize the Han imperial envoy. As long as we capture the Han imperial envoy, we can turn the tide of the war! There is still Su He in the rear battlefield, so we should be able to hold on for a while longer!"
Amul hesitated for a moment, then asked: "But the Han army is heavily fortified. If we are unable to break through, wouldn't it be a serious matter?"
Yasida roared in a low voice with a ferocious face: "So, even if we use all our efforts, we must capture the Han imperial envoy. This battle can only be won but not defeated! If we cannot break through the Han army's defense line in a short period of time, Then I will simply set fire to the mountain. At worst, I can burn the Han imperial envoy to death and let him be buried with us! Maybe the Han army on the battlefield will chaos after seeing us burning the mountain, and we will have A chance to turn defeat into victory!"
After hearing Yasida's decision, Amul finally made up his mind, nodded fiercely and said: "Okay, let's attack twice more! If we can't break through the Han army's defense line after two times, we will set fire to the mountain! We must kill all the people on the mountain. The Han imperial envoys and Han troops were all burned to death!"

At the same time, when Zhao Junchen rushed to the defense line on the mountainside, the defenders had just repelled the Mongolian attack, but everyone did not relax and still closely monitored the movements of the Mongolian army at the foot of the mountain.
After seeing Zhao Junchen appear, the defenders spontaneously burst into cheers.
The garrison soldiers at Yunluan Mountain are all from the new army of soldiers formed by Zhao Junchen himself. Because of Zhao Junchen's brainwashing methods and generous salary, he was already close to Zhao Junchen, but now he has witnessed Zhao Junchen personally go into battle to kill the enemy. After his deeds, these originally rebellious veterans became more obedient to Zhao Junchen!
Amidst the cheers of all the soldiers, Zhao Junchen's expression remained serious. After inspecting the defense line for a while, he asked the military attache in charge of this defense line: "The Mongols want to capture me and their offensive is extremely fierce. Soldiers But can you still hold on?"
This military attache's name was Jiang Xiao. He looked at Zhao Junchen with a rather fanatical, almost pious look. It was obvious that he had completely returned to Zhao Junchen.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Jiang Xiao replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, our soldiers are full of fighting spirit and fully prepared in advance. No matter how fierce the Mongol Tatar offensive is, our soldiers can still hold on." ! Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, as long as there are still soldiers alive in my new army, I will never let the Mongolian Tatars touch a hair of your head!"
Zhao Junchen nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed across his expression.
He didn't know that the Mongols had already made up their minds - if they couldn't attack for a long time, they would set fire to the mountain. He thought that the defense force of Yunluan Mountain was enough to withstand the Mongols' attack for at least half an hour. Then he saw the fierceness of the defenders. The fighting spirit and a little more confidence in my heart.
So, Zhao Junchen patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and said: "Speak to the soldiers for me and ask them to pay attention to the strength of the counterattack and keep an eye on the Mongolian movements. Your task is not only to prevent the Mongolian attack." , and you have to drag the Mongols here... If the Mongols want to leave here and return to the battlefield, you will even take the initiative..."
At this point, Zhao Junchen's voice suddenly became louder and he added: "... Of course, I also need to remind the soldiers to pay attention to casualties. This battle will be won soon. I hope all the soldiers can be alive to celebrate with me!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, the surrounding soldiers were all excited, and Jiang Xiao's expression became even more excited, and he said loudly again: "I understand, I understand!"
However, before Jiang Xiao could convey Zhao Junchen's order to the defenders, there was a sudden commotion at the foot of the mountain, and it was the Mongols who began to gather and prepare to attack the mountain again.
