Wang Zhene's expression changed, and he looked at Meng Longfu who was walking up from the city tower. Behind him, more than a thousand cavalry, like a long dragon, filed in from the city gate and entered the city gate.
Inside, Liu Zhong and Zhuge Limin were dressed in armor and commanding the cavalry to arrange themselves.
Liu Jingxuan nodded, looked at Meng Longfu, and said with a smile: "You guys came at the right time. We just captured Muling Pass and you are here soon. Didn't the slaves come with you?"
Meng Longfu smiled slightly: "Brother A-Shou, the commander-in-chief is not as good as before this time. The queen goes out with the army. He has to personally be in the middle army to protect the queen's safety. He can no longer personally be in the front army like before, so this time,
I took the Chinese cavalry and merged with the cavalry troops from Beiqingzhou to take the first step."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "Sent out with only the cavalry, what mission has been given to you? Is it to reconnoiter the enemy's situation behind Daxian Mountain, or to appear in the enemy's territory, spread rumors that are beneficial to our army, and shake the enemy's morale?"
"
Meng Longfu curled up his lips: "This is a military plane. Please forgive Xiaolong for not being able to tell me, and please forgive Brother Ashou."
Liu Jingxuan laughed and patted Meng Longfu: "It's okay, things are different now than before. We are not only brothers in Jingkou like before, but also generals in the army. Matters involving military aircraft should not be disclosed. So, when you come back,
Not just to help us capture Muling Pass, but also to get out of the pass?"
Meng Longfu said seriously: "Exactly, the mission given to us by the Marshal is to quickly cross Daxian, and then go to Lunan to perform the mission. We also ask Brother Ashou to make it convenient."
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "Then please rest here for half a day. Although Muling Pass has been captured, there are still more than thirty miles on the Daxian Mountain Road. The possibility of an ambush by the enemy cannot be ruled out. Your cavalry is highly mobile.
Strong, but if we are ambushed in this canyon, there will be no room for turning around. Please wait for half a day, I have sent scouts to investigate ahead. Once the mountain road is safe, you can set off."
Meng Longfu laughed, waved his hand, pointed at the prisoners squatting beside the city tower, and said confidently: "Brother A Shou, the Yan thieves didn't even send heavy troops to defend the Muling Pass, so they let these old men go."
Being weak here is no different from withdrawing all the defenders, and there will be no defense on the mountain road behind. Moreover, these defenders raided you without even lighting up the smoke or sending a message, and the Yan thief's rear does not know this place now.
It has been lost. It is a good opportunity for us to quickly cross the Daxian Gorge and go deep into the Lunan Plain to complete the mission. There is no room for any delay. If we wait for the Yan thieves to react and then send troops to defend us, I am afraid that our opportunity will be lost."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "Ronglong, I understand your idea of meritorious service. Which of us Beifu men is not like this? But this time is unusual. It is a battle to destroy the country. The Pinghu Battle has never happened in a century. You are the leader of the entire army.
If the vanguard is lost, it will dampen the morale of the army and even change the entire battle situation. If the enemy situation in front of the canyon is unclear, we will lead the entire cavalry forward. If there is an ambush, all the few cavalry of our Beifu Army will be wiped out.
It’s ruined. In future wars, if we only have infantry and no cavalry, we will suffer a great loss!”
Meng Longfu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brother A-Shou, although Xiaolong is not talented, he has been in the army for many years. He followed the commander and fought many battles with you. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has experienced hundreds of battles.
These little ambush tricks don't stop me. I'm not going in rashly. I'll send cavalry to reconnoitre both sides and make sure it's safe before passing. But even if I'm reconnoitring and advancing, the cavalry is faster than the infantry. I'll wait for you to come and go.
If our scouts are delayed for more than half a day, they may be intercepted by the enemy. If our cavalry cannot move forward and miss the commander's battle plan, then I am afraid that Brother Ashou cannot bear this responsibility."
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "Ronglong, I just want to remind you. You are not my subordinate now, and I have no right to order you. Maybe in your opinion, I have failed before, more than once, and I am no longer qualified to teach you a lesson.
, but just because I have experienced failure, I want to tell you that taking risks when you are young, although it is the tradition of our Beifu men, there is also a lot of risk. Now that you are the forward leader, you need to be more responsible for the overall situation."
Meng Longfu smiled slightly: "Brother A-Shou, you have watched Xiaolong grow up since he was a child, and I have also learned martial arts and military tactics from you. In my eyes, you are just like my eldest brother and master. I don't care about you."
I dare not be disrespectful at all, but since Brother Jinu has given me the important task of being a forward, I have to work hard to complete it. It is not convenient to reveal this mission to you, but I still want to say that the military situation is like a fire. If I
The cavalry cannot go to Lunan quickly, which will ruin Brother Jinu's big event. Therefore, I must seize the time. I will fully conduct reconnaissance ahead and will never let the enemy ambush me when crossing the canyon. Please don't worry."
Having said this, he turned to the cavalry at the foot of the city tower and said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to take off your armor or dismount your horse. All sergeants drink water on their horses. After half a moment, they all set off for me. If you have any urine, please bear it with me. We are here."
Lu Di pees again!"
Liu Zhong's expression changed slightly under the tower: "Ronglong, the military situation ahead is unclear, are we going to set off now?"
Meng Longfu said in a deep voice: "Ah Zhong, you and your fifty brothers set out now and spread out for reconnaissance. There are scouts sent by Brother Ah Shou on the cliffs on both sides. Don't misunderstand them. Make sure that the tops of the mountains on both sides are safe before continuing."
Go forward and use our signal to inform the rear, do you understand?"
Liu Zhongyi performed a military salute: "You have the order!"
Meng Longfu turned to Liu Jingxuan and saluted: "Please also ask Ah Shou brother to inform Ah Zhong of the joint bugle number of the brothers ahead, so as not to cause any misunderstanding. If I arrange it this way, I won't be ambushed."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Wang Shenjun arranged the forward reconnaissance, you just need to hand it over to him."
Wang Zhene suddenly said: "Ronglong, there were a few puffs of black smoke rising up in Shannan just now. It may be that when you came over, the Yan army in Shannan Prefecture discovered your movements and reported to the rear. How about you
It’s better to wait first, we will use the infantry to go forward, control both sides of the canyon, and ensure the safety of the passage before you set off, which will only take a few hours."
He said, pointing to the well-dressed men on the surrounding towers: "These brothers have been following Brother Ashou for many years and are specially trained for mountain warfare. They climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. They are agile and agile.
The cavalry in this mountain road will only be faster than yours, and they will not miss you. Once you control the mountain road, you have to go out of the mountain. It only takes less than three hours. You can set off at night and arrive at dawn. Brothers, it is better to stay in the urine.
