On the Yingzui Cliff, Li Xia stared at the river, while Nie Zhongyou and Yi Qing were standing behind him, waiting for instructions.
"Shimojia only has 2,000 troops. If we send more troops to Wugua Mountain, there will be only a thousand people left in the camp. Once they notice the movement, they will not fight us, but will disperse immediately. If we want to annihilate them, we must
Surround first."
Li Xia raised his hand and pointed to the pontoon bridge on the river in the distance, and said: "Ma Jiu, you lead two hundred people to seize the pontoon bridge first. Remember, kill the guards near the pontoon bridge without alerting the large Mongolian army."
Ma Jiu stood up and responded: "Yes."
"There are thirty people on the east and west side of the pontoon. You must first send a hundred people to swim across from the upstream. You can't escape even one person, do you understand?":.
"clear!"
Li Xia added: "After we cross the river, we will immediately burn the pontoon bridge to block the Mongolian army's escape route to the east. To the south is Yunding City, and General Kong will lead his troops to attack the Mongolian army head-on. We will block the west and north two
direction.
Yi Qing, Yunding's garrison was familiar with the terrain, and immediately moved westward after crossing the river, setting up an ambush at Leidayan; Nie Zhongyu, Wu Xin's army then crossed the river again and set up an ambush at Xiaoyunding.
Remember, don't rush to take action first. Wait until General Kong leads his troops down the mountain and the Mongolian army has fled before taking action."
Mongolian army camp.
Yesu replied: "The Song army has crossed the river three times, and they only have two or three small boats to carry heavy objects. The first time was at Jintang Gorge; the second time was at Huaikou east of Yanwangpo, swimming from the east bank.
To the west bank; the third time I swam from the west bank to the east cliff in Huaikou. Tonight is the fourth time..."
He clicked on the map and said: "We are here, Dongyue Temple. To the east is the wild boar forest. The pontoon bridge is built in the wild boar forest. This is where you sent 500 people to the east bank last time. This time the Song army will not
Maybe if we slowly cross the river, they can only fight for the pontoon bridge before they can attack us."
Shi Mojian only asked: "Shall we attack them while they are halfway across the pontoon bridge?"
"No." Yesuda'er shook his head and said: "The Song army has more people, so don't fight to the death easily. Once we are delayed, the Yunding City defenders will kill us, and we will be defeated."
"How to do that?"
"There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that 'it is better to settle the matter before fighting'." Yesuda'er murmured: "In the battle of Yan Wangpo, the Song army blocked the valley, making it difficult for more than a thousand of us to escape. This shows that Li Xia is cruel.
Battles often involve encirclement and annihilation, and it must be the same tonight... How many retreats do we have?"
"Two." Shi Mo pressed the button and said, "To the west, to the north."
He pointed it out to Yesuda'er on the map.
"I know this road to the west. This is where I came today." Yesuda'er said, "There is a valley here called 'Leidayan', which is a good place for an ambush."
Shi Mo said: "There is a mountain here in the north. It has been called 'Little Yunding' in recent years."
Yesu replied: "Shi Mo will take a thousand people to Wuhang Mountain, but don't really go. The cavalry who pretend to go south will go back after passing Zhongzui Liangzi, go around to Leidayan, and wait."
If the Song army wants to divide their troops and ambush them, I will lead the remaining 1,000 men to march west immediately and attack them from both sides."
Shi Mojian only asked: "What if the Song army didn't divide its troops?"
"If the Song army does not divide their forces, they will attack the camp with all their strength after crossing the river. I will feign defeat and march westward, leading them into Leidayan and ambushing them."
After Yesu Da'er finished speaking, a look of confidence appeared in his eyes, and he said: "Tonight, I will win..."
It's night and the moonlight is very bright.
Ma Jiu personally led a hundred people to swim across the Tuojiang River. Without wearing any armor, they crouched and ran along the wild boar forest to the pontoon bridge.
One hundred people walked lightly, and before the defenders at the pontoon could react, they suddenly attacked and killed them.
The battle ended quickly. Ma Jiu held the bloody knife and smiled again on his round face.
"Quickly, go inform Li Zhixian that you can cross the river..."
On a hillside not far away, several Mongolian soldiers were watching this scene from a distance, and then immediately got on their horses.
"Let's go and tell the general that the Song army has begun to cross the river..."
These Mongolian soldiers were highly skilled in riding, and they rode their horses quickly towards the Mongolian camp without making any sound in the dark.
All the Mongolian soldiers in the camp were not asleep and were already sitting on their horses waiting for orders.
After listening to the message, Yesuda'er had a satisfied expression on his face and ordered: "Get ready, the Song army has taken the bait."
After that, sentries and flying horses continued to report.
"Report, the Song Army has crossed the floating bridge..."
"Report, I saw the Song army dividing its troops, and a thousand people were heading west to Leidayan..."
Yesuda'er got on his horse and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Mongol Kingdom, set off! Kill these cowardly Song people!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" More than a thousand mengqi quickly attacked towards the west.
Yesuda'er knew that Shi Mojian had already ambushed the Song army at Leidayan, and would rush out as soon as the Song army arrived. When the Meng cavalry attacked from both sides, they could defeat the 1,500 Song army in one round, and then they could
Drive out the defeated troops and defeat most of the Song army.
He rode on the road heading west, and could see the mountains turning before his eyes under the moonlight.
A soldier bent down and looked at the footprints on the ground and reported: "General, the Song Army has passed just now."
"I know." Yesuda'er replied, looking like he was holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand, and even murmured to himself.
"Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise Shi Mo would have been defeated again tonight."
However, when they were approaching Lei Dayan, they had not yet heard the killing cry.
"Where is Shi Mo's bodyguard? Why haven't you set up an ambush yet?" Ye Suda'er shouted: "Wure, take the sentry cavalry forward to explore, what's going on..."
A rain of arrows suddenly shot down.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
"Kill!"
Along with the screams of the Meng soldiers, there were loud shouts from the Song people.
"Kill the prisoners!"
In front, rows of Song soldiers were holding spears, forming a huge formation. The Mongolian army had just turned around the mountain road, and the Mongolian cavalry in the front row had not had time to rein in their horses and had already collided with the Song army's spear formation.
"咴咴咴......"
Yesuda'er opened his mouth in disbelief, and quickly turned his head to look at the way he came. His intuition from many years of fighting told him that the Song army would catch up, and he must not fight the Song army here.
"Charge over! Warriors, the Song people are not yet secure, kill them!"
Yesuda'er did not hesitate and immediately ordered to break through the Song army in front.
Even in a very short period of time, he could see it. The Song army did not expect that the Mongolian army would arrive so soon. They did not have time to ambush at Leidayan, so the array was arranged in a hurry.
This proves that his analysis is correct. The question is where did the Shimojia go?
We can't worry about much at the moment, the most important thing is to escape.
"Kill them through!"
The Mengqi could not increase their speed, so they could only drive their horses forward, use head hammers and bent bows to fight the Song army. This kind of hand-to-hand combat was not their common tactic, and they basically maintained the same casualties as the Song army.
Yesu Da'er felt heartbroken and wanted to die.
The Mongolian army was small and could not withstand such attrition, so they always liked to take advantage of the cavalry to carry out harassment. If the battle was fought like this tonight, even if he won, he would also lose.
Fortunately, his observation was correct. The Song army was indeed unsteady. The Song general was also worried about the strength of his troops. He quickly ordered the Song soldiers to retreat to the mountains on both sides and attack the Mongolian army with a rain of arrows.
Seeing this, Yesuda'er charged first, finally breaking through the Song army's line, and led the defeated troops to escape westward.
But until now, he still didn't understand where Shi Mojian had gone...
The sound of horse hoofbeats kept ringing for a long time. It was not until daybreak that Ye Suda'er finally saw more than a hundred Mongolian riders galloping in front of them.
“Where’s the stone mosaic button?!”
Yesuda'er galloped up to meet them, but despite his anger, he glanced at the Mongolian soldiers who were coming. He saw that every one of them was in a miserable state, as if they had experienced a great defeat.
"Where's the Shimo button?" Yesu Da'er asked again, his voice already very restrained.
"General." Du La rode his horse forward to meet him, his voice full of fear, and said: "General Shi Mo has already...returned to the Heaven of Immortality."
"what happened?"
Du La didn't answer, just scratched his neck, looking very embarrassed.
Yesuda'er frowned, rode forward, and asked: "What's going on?"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a man behind Du Ya opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and an arrow shot out in response to the string.
Yesuda'er suddenly raised his head and saw the cluster of sharp arrows heading towards the door...
Thunder Rock.
Li Xia had already arrived with his troops, inspected the battlefield, and said, "It seems that the Mongolian army has changed their generals."
"It's a pity that the ambush was not successful." Nie Zhongyou said.
"It's not a pity. On the contrary, we have learned a lesson. You need to have enough intelligence to make a surprise attack. This new general is so powerful that he almost ambush us."
Li Xia looked calm and murmured again.
"Fortunately, he came a step late, and fortunately we saved a little extra this time..." To provide you with the fastest update of the Final Song Dynasty, Chapter 344 Breaking the Appointment is free to read.:.
