Chapter 1126: Plan to increase stoves
Chapter 1124: Plan to increase stoves
Temujin traveled across the grasslands and won hundreds of battles over the years. Under this series of great victories, the Yuan army also developed an invincible power.
So, Temujin just gave a simple encouragement, and the morale of the Yuan army immediately exploded to the top, and they all roared crazily and launched the most violent attack on Zhenbeiguan.
“Kill…”
The Yuan army first charged with cavalry, and then suppressed it with bows and arrows. After a few rounds, the cavalry retreated. The infantry at the rear carried ladders, pushed the well rails, and catapults to the top, while the cavalry assisted from the side.
Almost all Yuanmeng soldiers were good at riding and shooting. They mounted as cavalry and dismounted as infantry, so these Yuanmeng infantrymen were actually dismounted cavalry.
As for those who have the luxury to use cavalry as infantry, except for Yuanmeng, I am afraid that no other force is willing to do this.
Looking at the army attacking the city, Temujin couldn't help but a flash of pleasure flashed in his eyes. He touched the scar on his face and said to himself: "Qin Hao, I, Temujin, have come to seek revenge from you. Let's stop this time." If you want to take advantage of the Jin army first, it will be you next time."
Since the establishment of Yuanmeng, Temujin has been recuperating, but that is just to accumulate strength. He has never given up his goal of going south to the Central Plains, nor has he given up his plan to seek revenge from Qin Hao.
Temujin knew that the Jin army was the biggest obstacle to his march south, so he tried to win over aristocratic families and Shanxi merchants at all costs, and more than half of the tasks of the Xuanjing Division were also arranged for the north.
The political and business circles of the Jin army were relatively clean compared to other states. However, Qin and Wen still arrested so many Shanxi merchants and officials in this purge. The main reason was Temujin's external efforts.
Qin Wen was quite harsh on the aristocratic families and Shanxi merchants, and Temujin's temptation outside was so great, and the moral character and will of the Shanxi merchants were only the same, so it was quite normal for them to be bribed by Temujin.
Temujin wanted to corrupt the political and business circles of the Jin army to leverage the foundation of the Jin army and delay the development process of the Jin army. However, he did not want Qin Wen to have too strong control over Bingbei. No matter how hard he tried, he could only Letting the Jin army suffer for a while will not have the effect of shaking the foundation of the Jin army.
Under Temujin’s governance, Yuan and Meng’s national power grew rapidly. Although the Jin army’s military strength has not expanded much in recent years, its overall strength has also continued to grow. The greatest contribution to the development of the Jin army was the Hetao.
The land of the Hetao has fertile water and soil, which can be said to be a natural granary. Coupled with Qin Hao's high-yielding grain seeds, countless grains are produced every year.
Although Temujin did not know the specific amount of grain production in the Hetao, it was not until the Jin army relied on the huge grain production in the Hetao that it not only easily fed more than three million soldiers and civilians in the north, but also maintained a very high development rate. .
Although today's Yuan and Meng Dynasties have strong national power, due to their nomadic state structure, the problem of food and grass is still a big problem.
The output of the Hetao is huge, which also makes Temujin covet the Hetao granary. Once the large granary of the Hetao is recaptured, Yuan and Meng will no longer have to worry about food in the future.
Temujin knew that the longer time passed, the more consolidated the Jin army's rule in the Hetao would be. But when he was ready and decided to launch a war to retake the Hetao, a young man named Wang Mang appeared in front of him. He also used the threat of the Jin army to persuade him to send troops to prevent the Jin army from going south.
Temujin knew that Wang Mang just wanted to use Yuanmeng to hold back the Jin army, but Wang Mang was using him and at the same time being used by him.
Temujin wished that the Han people would fall into internal fighting and kill each other. Now he could let the Han people fight among themselves without provocation, which was exactly what he wanted.
Temujin agreed to Wang Mang without thinking, because even without Wang Mang's appearance, he still wanted to recapture the Loop, and Wang Mang's participation would make his plan smoother. After that, everything went as Temujin expected. The main force of the Jin army was attracted by him to the two passes in northern Xinjiang. Yang Jian also agreed to his request to use the road to attack Jin. Murong Ke and Murong Chui both successfully invaded. Loop.
"Nowadays, the defense force at Zhenbeiguan is unprecedentedly weak, and outside the Hetao there is Yuan Meng's twenty-strong army with 70,000 cavalry. Qin Wen is destined to be unable to defend the Hetao this time." Temujin said to himself with great confidence. .
At Zhenbei Pass, Yang Liulang saw that although the Yuan army's offensive was crazy, the formation was orderly and without any chaos, and his heart could not help but become extremely solemn.
“Archer, prepare for three shots, release...”
"Prepare rocks and rolls of wood to smash them for me..."
“The catapult, with kerosene bombs, aims at the enemy’s well…”
Yang Liu calmly conducted the command of the city defense. Although the Yuan army's offensive was fierce, it was almost impossible to capture the town and pass the gate in a short time, but it would be difficult to say if it took a long time.
Now Yang Liulang can no longer guarantee that he can hold on for a month.
Facing Temujin, who had a command of 102 after activating the skill, Yang Liulang, who had a command of 94, was naturally forced to suffer miserably. If he had not been on the defensive side, I am afraid that the Jin army would have been defeated by Temujin.
Yang Ye didn't know what a terrifying opponent his son was facing, and he was about to have a formal first round confrontation with Murong Ke.
“Father, commander, we found a stove left by the Yuan army in front of us.” Yang Dalanghui reported.
Yang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this and said: "Take me to take a look quickly."
After walking quickly to the stove, Yang Ye reached out and grabbed a handful of stove ash, rubbed it and said with a smile: "This should be left by the Yuan army yesterday. It seems that we are not far from the Yuan army. Let's do some statistics. How many stoves were left by the Yuan army?"
When fighting in ancient times, they always carried iron pots with them. After setting up camp, they built earthen stoves on the spot, and then lit fires for cooking. Therefore, the number of troops can be inferred from the stoves.
“Commander Father, we have already calculated the statistics. The Yuan army left a thousand stoves in total.”
Yang Ye couldn't help but frown when he heard this. One stove can provide food for twenty soldiers. If there are a thousand stoves, wouldn't it mean that the Yuan army has 20,000 people?
After pondering for a long time, Yang Ye sneered and said: "During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin used the plan of reducing stoves to defeat Pang Juan, but now Murong Ke wants to use this plan of increasing stoves to frame me.
If this partial division of the Yuan Army had 20,000 troops, the main force would definitely give us a warning, but so far there has been no warning. It can be seen that the number of the Yuan Army will never exceed 10,000.
Murong Ke must have known that our army was catching up, so he used such a small trick to trick our army into retreating. How could I, Yang Ye, fall into his trap so easily. "
At this point, Yang Yechang took a breath and immediately ordered: "March immediately. We will definitely catch up before dark. Tonight will be Murong Ke's last night in the Hetao. He will not be able to see the sun tomorrow."
