Chapter 123: Ambushing up

"Mu Zhali is about to enter the ambush circle, and we finally caught this fish." Li Junsong said to the generals lightly: "General Liu will catch this fish."

Liu Hezi looked at Jin and said sorry, "This fish is mine, you can't compete with me, and said, "Abide by the order."

Jie Jin was already a little jealous of such a good thing, and gave Liu Hezi another look, which made him even more unhappy. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."

"Little cavalry, don't go there. The terrain there is complicated and it is not convenient for your cavalry to unfold." Liu Hezi smiled. He said very sincerely. His real intention was that you should not come. I will have no chance if you come.

Jie Jin is famous for his ruthless moves. If he had driven up, Liu Hezi would not have many scenes and found such a beautiful excuse. Jie Jin would not know that, and said unconvincedly: "General Liu, don't worry. Brothers are heroes at horses, and they are heroes without horses." This was said very loudly. No one can hear it and have to admit that only real heroes can say such things.

His cavalry is the elite of the entire army, proficient in a variety of techniques and tactics, and his abandoned horse and infantry battles are not inferior to other troops. Liu Hezi was really worried that he would come and make excuses again. Li Jun shook his hand to stop them and said, "I am very happy that you can have such a fighting spirit. However, you can't hurt the harmony. No matter who goes, you will work for the court."

"That's not something that can't be seen by General Liu as hell. In that case, he will feel very uncomfortable." Jie Jin muttered.

Li Jun almost laughed and said, "Don't worry, you have your mission. General Liu is right. The terrain there is too complicated and it is not convenient for cavalry to fight. If you abandon the horse and the infantry battle, you will definitely not be able to fight badly. You cannot maximize your advantages. The tasks I assigned you can give full play to your strengths."

Jie Jin, who was originally bitter, was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Emperor, what is our mission? Please rest assured, you will fight wherever the emperor points." He looked confident and almost slapped his chest.

Although the beauty of adulthood is a virtue, Li Jun also has this beautiful quality, but he may not necessarily become beautiful again and again. This time he is very uncooperable with Jie Jin and said, "If you want to fight, just wait first and arrange General Liu's affairs before telling you."

"Abide by the order!" Jie Jin smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. These two words were not spoken, but were sung.

Li Jun pointed to Jie Jin and said, "You boy, you speak better than singing. General Liu, after he encircled and annihilated Mu Zhali, you don't have to turn back or wait for us to arrive. Choose a group of elite light troops to move forward quickly, go here and take it down in one fell swoop."

Looking at the place where Li Jun pointed, Liu Hezi's eyes shone brightly and almost sang: "Prince, please rest assured. I will complete the task and I will not make any mistakes."

"You are a sensible person. The overall situation of the imperial court entering Guanzhong here is very important. You are only allowed to succeed, not fail." Li Jun's face was somber.

Li Jun is a man who is slight and laughs at the face of the millions of Mongolian troops. He rarely has such serious times, which shows the importance of this place. Liu Hezi, an excellent strategist, also understands the importance of this place and said confidently: "Your Majesty, I must open the door of Guanzhong no matter what."

"I will feel relieved with you. At that time, Xu Guanghan's special forces will cooperate with your actions." Liu Hezi never speaks loudly. He said so confidently, it goes without saying that he is naturally sure, and Li Jun is very satisfied.

The special forces are famous and show their skills in the Lin'an Security Battle and the decisive battle of Jiangnan. Boyan and Guo Kan have suffered great losses in their hands. If they were deployed here, it would be great. With their support, it would be a sure thing to win this strategic location. Liu Hezi was very excited and said, "Thank you, the emperor."

"General Xu, how are you doing?" Li Jun asked Xu Guanghan.

Xu Guanghan shouted: "Return to the emperor, I am ready for everything, just waiting for the emperor to issue an order."

"That's good, that's good." Li Jun used two in a row to express his reassurance about this heroic army and said, "If it's a game of chess in Guanzhong, this is the eye for the overall situation. Once the eyes are done, the whole game will be won. If it is smashed, the whole game will be lost."

Although Guanzhong is an important place, the Mongols also have strict defense, especially those important strategic places where heavy troops are stationed. When entering Guanzhong from Sichuan, there is a natural danger of Qinling Mountains, which is necessary to pass, and it is difficult to send troops to Guanzhong. Perhaps it is precisely from this point that Zhuge Liang did not adopt Wei Yan's suggestion to send troops to Jiaziguan and adhere to the strategy of going to Qishan six times. If the Song army wants to advance into Guanzhong, it must open the door to Guanzhong and take down several important strategic areas, so that a large number of troops can appear on the land of Guanzhong.

Li Jun's metaphor is very appropriate. Liu Hezi and Xu Guanghan thrust their chests and said in unison: "Emperor, even if I am broken into pieces, I will succeed."

"Don't say such things." It is a very happy thing for the two loving generals to have such determination. Li Jun smiled and said, "We must not only succeed, but also take care of ourselves. The great cause of restoration has just begun, and we must also make achievements for the court."

Xu Guanghan and Liu Hezi were very moved and said, "Thank you, the emperor."

"You kid knows how to fight. I will give you a big fish now and give you Boerhu. Do you kid have the confidence to catch this big fish?" Li Jun said to Jie Jin with a smile.

"Dare!" Jie Jin blurted out without thinking and said, "Even if Kublai Khan comes in person, I will capture him alive."

Li Jun pointed to the map and said, "Your location is here. Boer suddenly arrived here, and I will wait for him here. You fight out from behind and let's drive him here together."

"Your Majesty, isn't it right?" Jie Jin looked at the map and blurted out: "Your Majesty, isn't he, Borhu, rushing southward? He won't go to Chengdu?" Jie Jin and Li Jun had an extraordinary relationship, so he dared to point out Li Jun's wrongness directly. If it were someone else, it would definitely be very tactful.

As Jie Jin said, there is a big loophole in Li Jun's deployment, that is, no one in the south will stop Boerhu. It is very likely that he will flow south and enter Chengdu. In that case, the trouble will be great.

Liu Hezi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, General Jie is right. The south must be guarded. I think Jiao Yu can be sent to ambush here."

Li Jun, who is good at accepting advice, did not accept their suggestions this time and said, "No need. If Bor suddenly fled south, he would be thrown into the trap and he would not be able to escape."

Li Jun is a humble person and rarely speaks so much. Liu Hezi and Jie Jin and others looked at Li Jun in surprise. Jie Jin thought for a while and said, "Master, can you sprinkle beans into soldiers?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not Jiang Taigong." Li Jun smiled and said, "I don't have the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers, but I still have some skills out of nothing. I don't need a soldier or a soldier here, but I can collect millions of soldiers."

Muzalli's army was marching on the mountain road. The mountain road was extremely narrow and steep, so the team was dragged very long. If you looked from the air, it would definitely be a long dragon.

Mu Zhali grabbed the horse's head and looked at the mountain. The terrain here was quite dangerous. If someone was ambushing, the problem would be very serious. In such a dangerous place, the ambushing army does not need many people, but only a few army is enough to kill him.

Mu Zhali was a little unbelievable if the Song army appeared here to set up an ambush and plotted against him. However, being cautious has always been an important reason for his invincibility. It is precisely because of his advantage that Kublai Khan gave him the important task and handed over the defense of Sichuan and Shaanxi to him.

"Stop." Mu Zhali waved his hand and ordered, and the advance Mongolian army stopped immediately.

"Baiduo, Bo Chili." Muzhali pointed out the names of two close commanders and said, "You will take our team and climb up the mountains to guard the army."

This is an ancient practice. If it is a modern war, just use firepower to reconnaise. If there is an enemy in ambush, the true form will appear in the face of a fierce firepower reconnaissance.

He was too careful in this way, but it was always good to be careful in such a dangerous place. Two commanders took the order and led our team to climb up the mountains on both sides, shouldering the heavy responsibility of alert.

Before the two thousand-man teams took their place, Mu Zhali ordered the army to rest and did not move forward again until the two thousand-man teams sent back the safety message.

The efforts will always be rewarded. The two teams of thousands of people sent by Mu Zhali quickly discovered the danger because they discovered the flag left by the Song army and the stove for cooking. Mu Zhali, who received this news, was shocked and secretly glad that he had the foresight, so he left a hand in advance and sent someone to watch.

Mu Zhali climbed to the mountains in person regardless of the danger. It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but he almost turned his nose tilted when he saw it. The Song army also had flags and stoves, which was true. What made him angry was that he didn't know when these things were. He roughly estimated that it had been at least ten years.

The Mongolian-Song War was fought in Sichuan for twenty years. It was entirely possible that the lost Song army fled to the mountains to hide, and there was no need to be surprised at all. Mu Zhali, who understood this period, scolded the two thousand men and ordered the army to advance.

After this incident, Mu Zhali was worried about the two commanders and decided to warn him personally and took a team of thousands of people on the mountain. It was calm for two consecutive days, and nothing happened. Apart from discovering many stoves and flag tents that the Song army used many years ago, they found nothing. Even the beasts in the mountains may have smelled the murderous aura of the Mongols and fled.

On the third day, something happened and found that the slogan left by the evil Song army was "Listen to the Tatars: Jianmen Pass has been restored by the Song Dynasty. If the Tatars dare to invade our territory, they will definitely tell you that there will be no return."

Mu Zhali was very clear about the situation at Jianmen Pass. It was really dangerous. He was surprised by this discovery. He was not sure whether it was true or whether the Song army deliberately promoted it to confuse him. When he was confused, Wang Dechen sent someone to send an urgent letter and urged him to hurry to Jianmen Pass as soon as possible.

Mu Zhali naturally recognized Wang Dechen's handwriting. He could tell at a glance that this was Wang Dechen's handwritten letter. The answer was already out. This was the propaganda of the Song army. For an important place like Jianmen Pass, it would be wrong to attack the Song army and not send reinforcements. It is normal for the Song army to send people to make trouble, so there is no need to be surprised at all. It can be seen that although the Song army calculated that the Mongolians would send reinforcements, they could not do anything to him to intimidate him.

Wang Dechen, who understood this period, had any concerns and ordered to move forward. Of course, people were still sent to stay on the mountains. Although the Song army had no choice but to send some small troops to make trouble, it was still possible to mobilize the mountain people to throw some stones on the mountain, kill and injure several others, etc.

To be more serious, organize the mountain people to roll some stones down, block the road he is moving forward, making it impossible for him to move forward, and delay his actions. If this is the case, the Song army attacking Jianmen Pass will have more time.

Mu Zhali is worthy of being a famous general. His worries were finally fulfilled and they were attacked. It was not the regular army of the Song army that attacked them. Strictly speaking, it was not the army at all, but the nearby mountain citizens. These mountain citizens were really clever enough. This was Mu Zhali's idea, but in fact, they should mean that their actions were wise.

The mountain people hid in the dark, waiting for the Mongolian army to pass by, and watched Lengzi shoot arrows or throw stones. What made the Mongolian army even more unbearable was that they would dig pits and put ropes in.

These things are used a lot on the battlefield. The Mongolian army has experienced a lot and doesn’t care. What they can’t stand is the mountain people’s scams. Sams were originally used to scam wild animals, but they also had a good effect on the Mongolian army, which made them tremble.

The so-called rope trap is to dig a hole where you have to settle down, put the rope, press the mechanism, and put it in the rope as soon as you step on it, take a plane, and have an inverted gold hook.

The Mongolian army has never encountered such a thing before, and it is impossible to be afraid of them. The Qinling Mountains are hundreds of miles long and the mountains are numerous and dense, which is most suitable for this kind of lasso, which makes the alert Mongolian soldiers suffer a lot. Many people are fortunate to experience this new way of playing and hang them upside down.

It is a little bit to just hang upside down. What the Mongolians are most unbearable is that once they are hanged up, a shower of arrows will fly, and one of them will die if they are not properly handled. Fortunately, these arrows are made of locals and are not sharp arrows used by the army, otherwise their casualties would be much greater. Even so, the two thousand guards of Mongolian soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties.

What's even more amazing is that these mountain men's archery skills are not very good, and one arrow can't be shot in ten arrows. The Mongolian soldiers mocked them for shooting arrows as luck, and whether they can shoot is purely about luck. Their kung fu is first-class in escaping. Whenever the Mongolian soldiers chase them, they run faster than rabbits and cannot catch up at all. If one is not done well, they will even hit their cold arrows.

The mountain people were only harassing and did not bring much harm. Mu Zhali decided to ignore them after weighing the pros and cons of the matter. In the war, an army would always encounter many unexpected situations, and those who could be ignored would be ignored. This is a general practice in the war.

What made Muzhali most happy was that he received the order from Borhu to move forward at full speed. He set out from Chang'an and wanted to rush to Jianmen Pass in one go, but unexpectedly, after a few days of leaving, Kublai Khan's will came from Dadu, asking him to move in an irregular manner and obey Borhu's orders.

Although he did not understand the intention, he still faithfully executed it. The order that Boer suddenly asked him to push for all his strength was what he was looking forward to day and night, and he was very excited to execute it.

People's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. When Mu Zhali doesn't want to advance at full speed, he has a chance. When he wants to advance at full speed, he has no chance. The reason is very simple. He doesn't know where the mountain people came out, as if they had nothing to do after dinner, and they were just going against him. They are entangled all day long, and when they have the chance, they rolled down huge rocks from the mountain, killing and injuring many Mongolian soldiers, and even more serious, they will block the road.

As for the Mongolian soldiers who served as the guard, it was even worse. It can be said that there was no peace for a moment and they were terrified all the time. Needless to say, the mountain people had more arrows, and the accuracy also increased. They could not hit the target for a long time before, but now, although they were not accurate at one shot, at least five or six arrows would hit the target in ten arrows.

The attack of the Mongolian army was not taken seriously at all. What they couldn't stand was that the arrow was painted with violent poison, and as long as a little skin was broken, they would be worried about their lives, which caused a lot of horror in the Mongolian army.

Maybe the mountain people hated the Mongolians to the core. Apart from applying poison to the arrows, they didn't know where they got so many poisonous snakes, hung them in the air with baskets, and pressed the mechanisms. When the Mongolian army was touched, the poisonous snakes fell from the sky. They didn't have to think about the consequences. If you bite it, you would definitely die.

There are many snakes and insects in the Qinling Mountains, so it is not surprising that they want to catch snakes. What makes Mu Zhali strange is that the mountain people are too capable and can catch so many snakes when the Qinling Mountains are about to enter winter. This can only be explained by one reason: the mountain people hate the Mongolians.

In the face of all kinds of strange blows, the Mongolian army, which had never known what fear was, was also frightened. They were eager to walk out of the Qinling Mountains quickly and no longer endured this fatal torture. They all used their strength to move forward, and could travel for two days a day.

This result was exactly what Mu Zhali needed, and he was very happy. What made him most happy was that he also found a small number of Song soldiers among the mountain citizens, which only showed one problem: the Song army had no power to stop him from advancing, so he thought of a way to mobilize the mountain citizens.

The hidden conclusion behind this is that he can move forward with confidence and boldness.

According to the common sense of war, his conclusion was correct. However, Li Jun's playing style was completely different from the conventional playing style. Mu Zhali's inference was all wrong, and he had no idea that a big net had already been exposed to him.

"Special forces are special forces. Not only are they fighting well, but they are also performing well in the play." Liu Hezi stood on the mountain, watching the Mongolian army advancing at the foot of the mountain facing Xu Guanghan Road beside him.

"General Liu has been awarded too much. These are the emperor's tricks, and I just implement them." Xu Guanghan said to a group of mountain people with humility: "Brothers, you have done a good job. The battle is about to begin, and you have changed your clothes."
