Chapter 1245 Communications War
Chapter 1243: Communications War
Yang Liulang also knew that Yinshan City did not lack militiamen, but was in urgent need of the main elite. However, it was not an easy task to transfer reinforcements from Ningxia City to Yinshan City.
"Even if Governor Wang Meng agrees to send reinforcements, how can we break through the blockades and reach Yinshan? Now the Yinshan City is surrounded by Yuanmeng's sphere of influence."
Hearing Yang Liulang's question, Li Jing thought for a while and replied: "Although Yuanmeng's siege of Yinshan City is tight, the Hetao is a flat land. Yuanmeng cannot fortify everywhere. As long as we focus Yuanmeng's attention If we attract them all, the reinforcements will definitely have a chance to break through the blockade and enter Yinshan City."
Yang Liulang couldn't help but nodded after pondering for a while, and then asked: "But how should we contact Ningxia now?
Yinshan City's carrier pigeons have been used up, and once the carrier pigeons outside approach Yinshan City, they will either be shot down by Yuanmeng's vulture shooters, or they will be hunted by Yuanmeng's falcons, and the carrier pigeons will not be able to fly in at all. "
Since the decisive battle between the Yuan, Meng and Jin armies started, in addition to offensive and defensive battles, the communication battles between the two sides were also extremely fierce.
The main means of communication between the Jin army's counties was through carrier pigeons. In order to close the communication between the Jin army's armies, Temujin ordered Zhebie to form a team of sharp archers, all led by the Yuan Dynasty. It was composed of Mongolian vulture shooters and was specially used to shoot down the carrier pigeons of the Jin army.
In addition, Temujin also ordered all armies to shoot down any pigeons, regardless of whether they were homing pigeons or not.
More than two months of war made it difficult to see a single pigeon in the sky over the Hetao Plain. Tens of thousands of pigeons were shot down by Yuanmeng's eagle shooters, including many carrier pigeons mixed with the Jin army.
Yuanmeng's archers caused heavy casualties to the Jin army's carrier pigeons, so much so that the various armies no longer dared to conduct communications during the day, and instead all sent carrier pigeons at night.
Even the vulture shooters of Yuanmeng can only shoot pigeons during the day. But once it comes at night, it is so dark that no matter how good the eyesight is, it is difficult for an archer to spot a small pigeon.
It blocked the Jin army's communication during the day, but it could not block it at night. If it could not be completely blocked, it would be of no use.
In this regard, Temujin also thought of another very ingenious method, which was to release domesticated falcons. He had nearly a hundred falcons hovering over the city he was about to attack. A homing pigeon would kill one, and a hundred falcons would kill one. Hundred.
Yuanmeng's falcons made the Jin army in Yinshan and Ningxia miserable. Wang Meng and Li Jingdu once ordered the magic archers to shoot down the falcons from the sky, but the height of these falcons flew far higher than most. The range of the bow and arrow was such that even Luo Yi, who was the best at bow and arrow in the Jin army, could not shoot down.
Under the double blow of Temujin's bow and falcon, the Jin army's pigeon team suffered heavy casualties, and now Yinshan City is completely isolated from the outside world. Li Jing and Yang Liulang do not know the situation outside, and Wang Meng and Zhuge Liang do not Know the situation in Yinshan City.
“The inability to send the message is indeed the biggest problem.”
Li Jing's brows also frowned. After thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't think of any good solution. He said helplessly: "We can only send people to break out at night to ask for help."
"But our army has just severely damaged Yuanmeng. The 150,000 Yuanmeng army has surrounded Yinshan City. At this time, even if we break out at night, we may not be able to succeed." Yang Liulang said worriedly.
"No…"
Li Jing's eyes were full of wisdom, and he sneered after a flash of light: "If Temujin came in person, it would be difficult to break out at night, but the current commander-in-chief of Yuan Meng is Murong Chui."
“Is there any difference?” Yang Liulang asked doubtfully.
Li Jing glanced at Yang Liulang, and then explained: "I have studied Murong Chui carefully. He has a treacherous mind and complex thoughts, and he has learned how to protect himself and please the emperor.
Murong Ke and Murong Chui entered the Loop together. Murong Ke's performance was extremely dazzling and he made many extraordinary achievements, while Murong Chui's performance was mediocre and he was even forced into danger by Governor Wang Meng several times. That's why I think Murong Chui must be desperate at this time. He wanted to prove himself to Temujin through meritorious service.
And if it is seen that our army is going to ask for reinforcements, they may try their best to stop it on the surface, but secretly they may take the initiative to let us pass by, and then..."
Yang Liulang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said hastily: "And then ambush our reinforcements?"
“That’s right.” Li Jing smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: This Yang Liulang is not hopeless, but his ability to comprehend is a bit poor.
"How can we make Murong Chui see that our troops are out to seek help and not to attack at night?" Yang Liulang asked again.
Li Jing sighed helplessly when he saw this. He wanted to take back what he just said. This man was hopeless.
“Only by me, or General Yang Wulang, can we personally lead the breakout to show that our army is asking for help.”
This time Yang Liulang did not ask why. After all, the situation in Yinshan City was so critical, and Yang Liulang, as a guard, could not leave. Only two important people, Li Jing and Yang Wulang, asked for help could show that Yinshan City had already At stake.
Yang Liulang hesitated again. It was impossible to send Li Jing to ask for help. After all, he could not do without Li Jing, and now Yinshan City could not do without Li Jing, but he was not willing to take this risk with his fifth brother.
Just when Yang Liulang was hesitating, Yang Wulang took the initiative to stand up and said, "The general is willing to break out and ask for reinforcements."
“Fifth brother.”
Yang Liulang opened his mouth, but it could only turn into a sigh and did not say any words of apology.
Li Jingze said seriously: "General Yang Wulang, do you know that all of this is just my inference. If there is a mistake, you may not be able to come back."
Yang Wulang smiled and said: "General Li Jing, are you confident in your inference?"
Li Jing didn't say anything. He thought he had seen through Murong Chui, so of course he was confident. However, things were unpredictable, and he couldn't guarantee that his calculations would be correct.
Seeing that Li Jing didn't speak, Yang Wulang said: "General Li Jing, you haven't missed a thing since you arrived in Yinshan County. Maybe you don't have absolute confidence yourself, but I, Yang Wulang, have confidence in you, no matter success or failure." , I am willing to believe you."
Li Jing was also extremely moved, opened his mouth and said, "Come back alive."
"Um."
That night, Yang Wulang led five hundred elite cavalry out of the city from the south gate. As soon as he left the city, he was discovered by Yuan Meng's spies, who then reported to Murong Chui.
After Murong Chui finished listening, he pondered for a long time, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "You mean, after Yang Wulang led five hundred horses out of the city, he did not entangle with our army?"
"Yes, now Yang Wulang has led the army to the south, with unknown intentions. Will the general pursue and encircle him?"
After Murong Chui thought for a long time, a sneer flashed across his lips and said: "Chase."
"Understood, my subordinates will immediately send orders to all the troops on the front line to immediately dispatch troops to surround Yang Wulang."
“No, only pursue, not encircle and kill. Remember, don’t hurt Yang Wulang.”
“Here, promise, my subordinates will go and give the order immediately, ordering the frontline army to capture Yang Wulang alive...”
"No."
Murong Chui raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Let him go."
"ah?"
