In the early morning, tens of thousands of Luobei cavalry roared past outside Yijing City. They were the secret troops of Luobei Khan Arsleng, responsible for the surprise attack on Yijing and the attack on the Fengwu Army's prestigious Mengsa tribe... ·········
Looking at the tall city wall of Yi Jing vaguely revealed in the distance, Mengsa's heart was full of excitement, and the excitement could not be concealed on his rough face. Since the rise of the Kipchak Khanate in the third year of Anhe, the grassland situation has reversed for the Luobei people. After losing power, he was the only Luo Bei general who led his troops to attack Yijing in the past ten years!
Although their purpose was not to capture Yijing, but to intimidate Youyan soldiers and civilians into politically attacking the Fengwu Army, this was still an incredible achievement!
Thinking of this, Monsa shouted to the cavalry beside him:
"Warriors of Luo Bei, the city of Yijing of the Zhou people is right in front of you. Let these docile two-legged sheep take a look at the bravery of the grassland warriors!"
Mengsa's real arm shouted, and he immediately received a response from his elite Luobei cavalry. These prairie barbarians started to cry and howl in excitement.
Seeing that his military morale was available, the enthusiastic Mengsa immediately laughed and rushed towards Yijing City not far away. At the same time, Zhang Meng, who was responsible for guarding the city on Yijing City, was also observing Luo Bei outside the city with a telescope. Seeing the movements of the people, Zhang Meng, who was a little depressed, spat on the ground angrily and said bitterly:
"This battle was really frustrating for him!"
He Jingyun, who was standing aside, ignored Zhang Meng's complaints and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you all ready?"
Zhang Meng nodded and said:
"The people outside the city had been evacuated yesterday. In addition, in order to prevent Mengsa from seeing the clues, the soldiers guarding the city were not notified of the appearance of the Luobei people... ·”
Hearing this answer, He Jingyun slightly nodded. Although Ye Mingsheng withstood the collective pressure of civil servants, but also considering the impact on people's livelihood, Ye Mingsheng ordered that the people living outside the city be evacuated to safe places as much as possible, and the people's Keep losses to a minimum!
He patted Zhang Meng's shoulder heavily with his single arm, and He Jingyun said in a deep voice:
"If you feel aggrieved, you will take off Mengsa's head immediately. I, the Fengwu Army, have put in a lot of effort in this battle and the commander-in-chief has also been under a lot of pressure, so we must win this battle!"
Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with a fierce look and he said in a deep voice:
"Master He, please rest assured that none of these grassland barbarians can leave!"
Mengsa, who still didn't know that a trap was quickly forming on his head, was excitedly leading his men outside Yijing City, galloping excitedly and using their Luobi people's skillful riding and archery skills to shoot arrows at Yijing City. The soldiers who defended the city could not lift their heads under the heavy rain. While shooting arrows, they used the most vicious words to attack the Fengwu army.
"I only know the cowardly Zhou people who are hiding behind the city! Your Grandpa Luo Bei is here, and you still haven't handed over all your food and treasure!"
"You two-legged sheep, my uncle is here to sleep with your wife! The tender skin of your Zhou women is my favorite!"
"Hand over the women's food, and we will let you live! Open the door quickly and wait for us to rush in and kill you all!"
The soldiers who were guarding the city, who had not been notified of the Luo Bei attack before, were suddenly scolded and ridden by Luo Bei. They were a little panicked for a while and lost sight of the other. However, the usual strict training soon took effect, and the soldiers Under the organization of various generals, an effective counterattack was quickly organized, using firecrackers to fight back against the Luobi people...
Although the Luobei people are good at mounted archery, and the elite cavalrymen of the Luobei people who followed Mengsa were all wearing armor, they still began to appear in front of the Polu guns with a longer shooting range and greater power. The casualties, especially those who scolded the most harshly and had bad mouths, were all sniped by precision shooters from various departments of the Fengwu Army!
The reaction speed of the Fengwu Army shocked Mengsa. He originally thought that the Fengwu Army could restore order in an hour after they were caught off guard. However, the Fengwu Army only used a stick of incense. Within a short period of time, an effective counterattack was organized.
Although it is a pity, Mengsa also knows that they are not attacking Yijing City this time. Although Luo Bei's hundreds of thousands of cavalry outside Youyan have restrained the main force of the Fengwu Army, it is too long to stay in the enemy's hinterland. It is also very dangerous for a long time.
So even though he was a little regretful, seeing that the intimidation mission assigned by the Great Khan was basically completed, Meng Sa waved his hand and prepared to retreat.
Although the Luo Bei people were greedy, they believed in the wolf as their totem, and their actions were very consistent. They cooperated with each other very well. Each department took turns to cover and left Yijing City calmly, leaving only a mess under Yijing City.
After withdrawing from Yijing, Mengsa led his troops to gallop all the way east towards Jizhou. This was their retreat route. While retreating, they would burn, kill and loot in the east of Youyan, causing great harm to the local people. panic, thereby attacking the foundation of Fengwu Army's rule...
About two hours later, Mengsa led his troops to a place called Mingyun Mountain. This is a rare valley and hilly terrain in the north of Youyan. On the east side of the valley, there is a town called Mingyun. small villages and towns with a permanent population of about a thousand households.
As the saying goes, people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Mingyun Town, which is backed by Mingyun Mountain, has more than 80% of the population making a living by hunting and collecting medicines in the mountains. Because Mingyun Mountain is rich in products, the people of Mingyun Town Life is still enjoyable, and it is one of the few wealthy villages and towns in eastern Youyan.
It is precisely because of this wealth that this quiet little village has unfortunately become the first disaster place in Mengsa's plan to kill Youyan in the east. In Mengsa's view, this small village has tens of thousands of people under his command. In front of the wolf-like tiger-like prairie warriors, he was like a magnesium neodymium with all his clothes on. He could be manipulated and bullied by them.
Just when Mengsa led his troops into the middle of the valley, hoping to reach Mingyun Town as soon as possible to enjoy the pleasure of conquest, explosions suddenly occurred on both sides of the canyon. Huge boulders on both sides of the valley fell one after another, and dozens of Luobi were killed. The cavalry suffered an instant disaster, being killed and wounded by falling stones. Not only that, these falling stones also cut off the road and divided Luo Bei's army into two, blocking the progress of Luo Bei's main force!
This sudden change made all the soldiers, including Mengsa, think they had encountered an enemy attack. These elite Luobi cavalry quickly formed a battle formation. However, what surprised them was that they were busy working for a while, and what they saw in front of them was There is no sign of the Fengwu Army!
Seeing this slightly strange scene, Mengsa, who was surrounded by the team, was also very surprised. As a close confidant of the Great Khan, he had been in the army for decades and had fought dozens of wars, large and small, but he had never He had never seen anything like this before. He scanned both sides of the valley with hawk-like eyes. Seeing that there was still nothing suspicious, Mengsa waved his hand and ordered:
"Move the falling stones..."
"yes!"
Following his order, hundreds of Luobi cavalry jumped off their horses and prepared to remove the boulders blocking the road. However, as soon as they started to take action, dozens of muffled sounds of firecrackers were heard in the valley. As soon as they appeared, more than ten Luobi soldiers fell down.
Following the sound of the firecrackers, Mengsa also quickly discovered the Fengwu Army soldiers ambushing in the valley. They were not wearing traditional armor, but some strange rags, but these rags seemed to be able to match the valley. The environment complemented each other well, making it difficult for people to spot them. Although it was a little strange why these people were dressed like this, Mengsa still issued the order immediately.
"There they are! Shoot them!"
Before Mengsa's words could be fully finished, dozens of hundreds of sharp arrows were shot at the Fengwu troops in the valley. However, it was a pity that those strange figures seemed to have been prepared and hid in advance. Arriving behind a rock, Mengsa ordered his men to outflank that side, and then arranged for others to continue the unfinished work of removing the stones blocking the middle of the road.
A stick of incense passed and the stone blocking the road was removed, but the people sent out to arrest came back and reported to Mengsa. They killed several Fengwu soldiers, but because of the complicated mountainous terrain, most of the Fengwu soldiers escaped. Although Mengsa was a little disappointed with this, they had no choice but to continue on their way. However, they did not go far in the valley when they ushered in a new wave of cold shots from the Fengwu Army... ·········
It was almost exactly the same as before. The Fengwu army buried explosives in hidden places on both sides of the valley. When the Luobi cavalry came over, they detonated the explosives and let the falling rocks block the passage. Then, while waiting for the Luobi soldiers to clear the road, those strangely dressed The Fengwu Army is just a cold attack. These people seem to have received special training and will run away without bothering you at all.
Although this did not cause much damage to the Luobi people who had a large number of soldiers and horses, it made the Luobi people very uncomfortable. The progress of the march also stopped and became very slow. Although the Luobi people were large in number , but due to the terrain restrictions of the valley, there is no way to fully deploy it, and it is impossible to annihilate this specially decorated Fengwu army.
The same situation happened twice, and Mengsa immediately became alert. He felt something was wrong. Their action plan was highly confidential in Luobei, and this strange Fengwu army appeared here and placed explosives here in advance. It's obvious that the opponent has known his battle plan for a long time and is stalling for time!
When he realized this, a chill immediately rose from Mengsa's back. If what he thought was correct, it was self-evident what he would encounter after walking out of the valley!
Mensa, who was silent for a few seconds and felt the danger, suddenly shouted:
"Everyone pass through the valley quickly without any delay! Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
Under Mengsa's order, these Luobi cavalry all started to rush forward. On the slopes on both sides of the valley, all the Flying Tiger Camps had Zhang Xu. Seeing the changes in the Luobi people's expressions, a hint of disdain immediately appeared. It's too late for the humble people to wake up now. They have no time.
After receiving the information, the General Staff Headquarters selected this place as the location for annihilation. The purpose of the entire Feihu Camp dispatch this time was to use the terrain advantages to hold back the Luobei people and provide sufficient supplies to the Fengwu Army officers who were surrounded from the east and west. time, and now that their mission at Feihu Camp has been completed, a large encirclement has been formed. These Luobi people are just wishful thinking in trying to escape!
Regardless of the casualties, it took Mengsa another hour to lead the exhausted Luo Bei cavalry who had been harassed by the Flying Tiger Camp and walked out of the valley. Just when he was full of expectations for Jizhou When Comrade Luo Bei was able to restrain the Fengwu Army from coming over, the neat military formation of the Fengwu Army's Third Division and the dark muzzle of the red cannon suddenly appeared in front of him!
Just when Mengsa wanted to lead his Luo Bei warriors with a face full of grief and anger and fight desperately, more deadly news came from behind him. Zhang Meng led 20,000 Yijing defenders to follow. , they fell into a desperate situation being attacked from both sides by the Fengwu Army!
·················
·················
Three hours later, Yi Jing, the Governor's Mansion
Extremely excited, He Jingyun quickly walked into Ye Mingsheng's study, bowed and reported to Ye Mingsheng:
"Commander, Zhang Meng and Lin Huaiwu came back with news that six thousand Luobi people under the enemy general Mengsa were killed in the battle at Mingyun Mountain, and the remaining four thousand people all surrendered. Lin Huaiwu has led his troops back to Jizhou as planned. Zhang Meng We are escorting the Luo Bei prisoners back!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng had a faint smile on his face, nodded and said:
"Zhang Meng and Lin Huaiwu did a good job this time!"
Speaking of this, Ye Mingsheng seemed to think of something again, and said to He Jingyun:
"That Luo Gang in your staff department is also very good!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's praise, He Jingyun also had an idea and asked Ye Mingsheng for credit for Luo Gang and said:
"Although Luo Gang was only transferred from the front-line troops to the staff department last year, he is a down-to-earth man who works hard and does not complain. I always think that he is a good candidate who can take on greater responsibilities!"
After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and said:
"He is now a third-class staff officer?"
"yes!"
"Then promote him to the position of second-class staff officer, and reward him with five hundred taels of silver, ten bolts of silk, and one hundred bolts of silk!" Ye Mingsheng said:
As a superior in the military, the most important thing is fairness in rewards and punishments. Those who have merit must be rewarded and those who have failed must be punished. Only in this way can rewards and punishments be fair to further motivate the soldiers. Luo Gang is a contributor to this battle plan. Without his plan There would be no great victory in Mingyun Mountain this time, so he must be rewarded heavily to show Ye Mingsheng's fairness...
