Chapter 1075

30000 iron cavalry down the spirit gate

In the night, the iron horse ran like thunder.

Just when the Wulin meeting in Chang'an city was busy, Fang Xie and the Jingqi had left chunboting city and went straight to lingmen pass. Qingqi marched very fast. After leaving chunboting City, he hurried all the way. It took only ten days to reach the Qinhe river. Du Dingbei, who had already received the general's order, had led his troops to build a floating bridge, and the cavalry drove directly without delay.

Du Dingbei was ordered by Fang Xie to guard the Qinhe river. Fang Xie had sent someone to build a floating bridge before he left Chang'an city. Fang Xie didn't stay long in Qinhe river. After explaining some things about Du Dingbei, he left immediately. Du Dingbei sent it out thirty miles before he came back, and then ordered to strictly guard the floating bridge. There is no need to dismantle these floating bridges. Soon, the army of Chang'an city will go south and pass through here.

After leaving the Qinhe River, everything was smooth.

From Qinhe to lingmenguan, go all the way west along the Bank of Henan.

Lingmen pass is built on Zhengming mountain, which separates Shujing road from Jiangbei Road. The terrain of Shujing road is particularly similar to that of Shandong Road in the northwest. They are very long from north to South and very short from east to west. The difference is that one side of Shandong road is langrushan and the other side is plain. On one side of the Shujing road is Yishui and on the other side is Zhengming mountain.

But Zhengming mountain can't enter Jiangbei Road.

To cross Zhengming mountain, only lingmen pass.

This place is only dangerous, as you can see.

The strategy of the black flag army is to stop the Mongolian Yuan people to the west of Yishui as far as possible. In case they can't stop, there is still the lingmen pass to guard. The distance between lingmen pass and Yishui is actually the width of the garrison road. Before coming here, many soldiers thought that lingmen pass was next to Yishui, and outside lingmen pass was the battlefield of fierce battle with the Mongolian Yuan people.

After that, the soldiers realized that there was a whole garrison road between them.

To the west of Yishui is Shanjiang road. Song Zihui regretted that what he had guarded was Shanjiang Road, Pingan County, Pingan County. After Ping'an County is Yishui, the east of Yishui is the Shujing Road, the east of Shujing road is Zhengming mountain, and the east side of Zhengming is Jiangbei Road.

Because the Mongolians stepped up the offensive, some of the defenders of lingmen pass have been transferred to Yishui for support. Yan Zeng, who led the troops to guard the lingmen pass, has led his troops to the East Bank of Yishui. Now it is veteran Liu enjing who guards the lingmen pass.

"See the Lord!"

Because of guarding the pass, Liu enjing didn't attend the king calling ceremony of Fang Xie, so he made a big gift this time, and the title became the Lord.

"Old general, please get up."

Fang Xie took two steps to help Liu enjing up: "I haven't seen you for months. The old general has worked hard to guard the pass."

Liu enjing quickly shook her head: "The war is in Yishui, but it's not hard here. I'm looking forward to your coming, because your coming means that the counterattack against the Mongol Yuan people is about to begin. The war has been delayed for several months, and it's time for the Mongol Yuan people to know the strength of our black flag army. Lord, I want to fight! Although it's a heavy responsibility to guard the customs, there's no war. My bones are going to rust, and the sword needs to be seen Blood is sharp, and body bones need to be trained by fighting on the battlefield. "

"Ha ha"

Fang Xie laughed: "since the old general is eager to fight, I will grant you. After I lead the troops through the lingmen pass, you leave 3000 elite soldiers to guard the pass, and then lead the troops to come. If there is no accident, the counter attack will just begin when you arrive at the East Bank of Yishui."

"Great!"

Liu enjing was immediately excited. The veteran didn't catch up with the first western expedition. He had been looking forward to the real sword and gun of the Mongolian Yuan people. After all, so many of his old friends led troops to the northwest. They thought they could build more achievements, but they were defeated and died one by one.

Maybe he has more feelings than others.

"Lord, the news just came from the East Bank of Yishui yesterday. The attack of Mengyuan people is getting stronger and stronger day by day. After hearing this, I have been worried. I'm afraid it's a sign that mengge is going to escape."

Fang Xie nodded: "nine times out of ten, that's why I hurried from Chang'an city. In the Central Plains, are Mongolian Yuan Tartars able to come and go if they want?"

"Lord, if you can send a good general to lead troops around Meng Yuan and seal his way home, you may be able to capture Meng Ge alive! Meng Yuan has been established for more than 1000 years. Except that emperor Meng Yuan and Emperor Taizu of the Sui Dynasty suffered some losses in the fight at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Meng Yuan people have always been dominant in the war in the Central Plains. It has to be said that the cavalry of Meng Yuan people is really strong, as in the former Zheng Dynasty Later, the northwest was conquered by the number of Mengyuan people and the people were devastated... It would be a shame to capture Mengyuan Khan alive this time! For thousands of years, mengge is too conceited that Mengyuan Khan has not led his troops to the Central Plains for such a long distance. If he can be captured alive, Mengyuan will never recover. "

Fang Xie said with a smile, "I've arranged for someone to go, old general. This time you try to catch brother Meng yourself, and you can make a name in history."

Liu enjing said excitedly, "as a general, if we can meet this war, this life is enough!"

Fang Xie said as he walked, "old general, you don't have to wait for my military order after you lead the troops to the East Bank of Yishui. You can lead the troops to the lower reaches of Yishui, and I'll arrange naval warships to meet you. Don't worry about the war after you cross the river, just guard the main road to the south of Ping'an County."

"Ah?"

Liu enjing was stunned: "if brother Meng is defeated, he will inevitably flee to the northwest. Why does the Lord let his ministers guard the southeast?"

Fang Xie said with a smile, "just go and say there's no great credit waiting for you."

……

……

After replenishing supplies at lingmen pass, the team started again. For Qingqi, the width of the garrison road is really not far away. Most of the 30000 elite cavalry brought by Fang Xie this time are veterans when the black flag army was founded. The combat power of these cavalry is extraordinary.

Zhuge Wuyin and Liu Xuri were generals who could lead the black flag army when it was founded.

These two men are also the generals of the first western expedition of the great Sui Dynasty. They have not forgotten the humiliation of the tragic defeat and the collapse of 700000 troops in an instant. In fact, Fang Xie really picked up a big bargain. After the defeat, he fled from the grassland and built a camp on langrushan. The team gathered can be described as the elite of the elite. The quality of these people can be imagined if they can survive such a great rout.

Yang Kai, the county king, gave Fang Xie all the strength he had accumulated on the wolf milk mountain.

This team is the team of the black flag army.

It was with this team that Fang Xie achieved the feat of thousands of miles. From grassland training, back to the northwest, and then straight down to the southwest, this team has been tempered. Chen Dingnan and Chen Dongshan, who now resist Meng lie in the northwest, are actually the earliest black flag army. It is Cui Zhongzhen's men and horses, mostly soldiers trained after the establishment of the Zhuque mountain camp.

No words all the way

Fang Xie, with 30000 men and horses, entered the garrison road from lingmen pass and went to the East Bank of Yishui for another ten days.

This place is called qilipo.

Opposite qilipo is Ping'an County.

At this time, there were Yan Zeng's headquarters, Xu Xiaogong's headquarters, and the Navy duanzheng's headquarters on the East Bank of Yishui. There were no less than 100000 people. Relying on the danger of Yishui, even though the Mongolian Yuan army on the other side of the river is no less than 500000, the black flag army still does not lose the wind. The greatest meritorious service in this barrage was the Navy.

"See you, Lord!"

These generals met with great gifts.

"How was the war?"

After Fang Xie asked the people to get up, he didn't exchange greetings and asked directly about the war.

"Strange"

Duan Zheng's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Strange? What's strange?"

Fang Xie asked.

Duan Zheng said: "a few days ago, the Mongolian Yuan people attacked day by day, regardless of the cost, but the attack slowed down from the day before yesterday. Today, there is no attack. I was worried that the Mongolian Yuan people are going to withdraw, so I specially sent scouts to the other side by boat to explore secretly, but I found that the number of people and horses in the Mongolian Yuan camp has not decreased. After observing for a long time, there was no sign of troop mobilization."

"Don't fight or go?"

Fang Xie was silent for a while and shook his head. "It's really strange."

"And there is."

Duan Zheng stretched out his finger and pointed to the other side: "there is the camp of the Mongolian Yuan Black Mountain army. The combat power of the black mountain army is still riding on the Mongolian Yuan wolf. All the soldiers are brave and fearless. However, this afternoon, the black mountain army withdrew no less than ten miles to the West. It was the black mountain army that stormed before."

"There is the camp of Mengyuan wolf riding. After the black mountain army retreated ten miles, Mengyuan wolf riding also retreated ten miles. The two camps are still side by side, but they are not connected as before."

Fang Xie pondered for a moment and pointed to a big boat: "get on the boat, I'll cross the river to see!"

Without waiting for the crowd to dissuade, Fang Xie had strode out.

Standing in the bow of the big ship, Fang Xie held his eyes to the other side to observe. On the opposite bank, we can see the wolf riding team patrolling back and forth, but the camp has indeed withdrawn, at least ten miles away. This is obviously abnormal. If the Mongolian Yuan people are going to withdraw, there is no need to withdraw only these ten li. Fang Jie speculated that the Mengyuan people's fierce attack was to hide their retreat, but now, after the Mengyuan people's fierce attack, they stopped but didn't go.

"Over there!"

Duan Zheng suddenly pointed in a direction, which was the empty space of the black mountain army camp and the wolf Riding Camp. When I was on the East Bank of the river, I couldn't see the scene here because of the terrain. When the ship was approaching the West Bank of the river, I saw that there were two people and horses facing each other in a distance between the camp of the Heishan army and the camp of the Mongolian Yuan people.

"I'm afraid the Mongolian Yuan people have quarreled with each other?"

Xu Xiaogong speculated: "the LORD sent someone to spread the news of menglie rebellion in Northwest China. Did mengge really believe it, and the Heishan army's guy amnesty also believed it, so what's the contradiction between gaiamnesty and mengge?"

"Too obvious..."

Fang Xie suddenly said these three words.

Too obvious?

Duan Zheng, Xu Xiaogong and others didn't understand Fang Xie at first. After thinking for a while, Yan Zeng suddenly thought: "the Lord's meaning is that Mengyuan people are making an illusion?"

……

……

Mengyuan wolf Riding Camp

In the tallest tent.

Mengge glanced at the three heads on the tray in front of him and couldn't help frowning. These are three heads with the same face. They have the same name, Da free.

At this time, two people sitting opposite mengge, one is general Gai amnesty of the Montenegrin army, and the other is a living freedom.

"Now, sweat, can you rest assured?"

This living freedom is the second freedom that day. He was also the first to doubt the God in the big wheel temple.

Mengge nodded: "what is the purpose of your doing this?"

After being silent for a while, Gai Amnesty said in awe: "I don't want to be the enemy of big Khan, but I don't want to fight this war. Big Khan should know that whether this rumor is true or false, we have it here and Meng lie must also have it there. Therefore, nine times out of ten, Meng lie has really led the troops back."

"I killed three big freedom to tell Big Khan that you want big freedom to kill me, but it can't succeed. But I want to kill big Khan. It's easy. I don't do it, not because I'm afraid of anything, but because I don't want to make the grassland chaotic. As for the future, I'll finish the battle in front of me first."

Mengge asked, "do you want to set up a bureau to make the black flag army think I have a conflict with you and lead the black flag army over?"

Da Zi nodded: "yes, as long as the black mountain army and big Khan pretend to fight, the black flag army will not miss this opportunity and will cross the river on a large scale. At that time, the black flag army will be defeated when the black mountain army and the wolf horse suddenly surround. In this way, big Khan can return to the grassland without worries."

Mengge hesitated for a while and asked, "what do you really want to do?"

Big freedom replied seriously, "take a road that may make some detours, but... It's for freedom."

He pointed to gai amnesty: "he is..."

Then he pointed to himself: "me too."
