Chapter 356: Decadent Jin Huan Mountain
Wu Nian, who put away his complicated emotions and embarked on the journey again, had a heart as hard as iron. Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, rode beside him.
Zhang Sheng endured the bumps of the horse, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart. He could not help but grin. He looked back at the long team and asked: "General, are we going to Yacheng?"
Yacheng is a county seat under the rule of Yingqing Prefecture and under the control of Puguli. The city is medium in size, and the city defense is weak because tens of thousands of Han soldiers were mobilized to defend it.
"Ya City is good. We only have enough food for five days now. If we can capture Ya City, we will have supplies. Even if we lose our teeth, we will capture Ya City."
Wang Gui had a hungry wolf-like look in his eyes, holding the horse's reins tightly with both hands, gritting his teeth.
"That's right." Zhang Sheng nodded heavily.
Although they broke through the first level, they could not go far without food.
Wu Nian himself said that he would follow him to capture the city. Of course, he would capture the city and replenish food and other military supplies.
But Wu Nian had other ideas. He shook his head and said, "My goal is not Yacheng, but Chong County next door."
"Uh!!!" Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were so stunned when they heard this that they forgot to control the war horses and couldn't help falling behind. They quickly urged the war horses and returned to the position side by side with Wu Nian. Wang Gui looked puzzled and asked in a deep voice.
Said: "General, Chong County is not located in the northwest. We are going in the wrong direction."
"Yes. Chong County is in the northeast." Zhang Sheng also said in confusion.
"Even you think so, that's right." Wu Nian smiled, and then explained in a low voice: "There are traces of our brigade's movements. If we go straight to Yacheng, Jin Huanshan is not dead yet.
, can issue orders. He must hurry up and take the small road to notify the defenders of Yacheng to strengthen their vigilance."
"And when night came, we suddenly changed direction. We took the Yunshan Trail and suddenly headed towards Chongxian County. We drove all night and we could arrive the next day."
"In this way, Chongxian was caught off guard. It was too late for Jinhuan Mountain to rescue us. After we captured Chongxian and rested for a day or two, we collected food, grass and baggage and continued to travel in this area, with the ultimate goal of returning to Beishan Fort.
"
The so-called guerrilla warfare is to take the enemy by surprise and win by surprise. This is another plan to build a plank road in the open and covertly cross the Chencang.
They strode towards Yacheng, actually attacking Chong County.
After the battle at Jinhuan Mountain, the situation changed fundamentally. Ten thousand households in the Meng Yuan Dynasty did not dare to disperse their troops anymore, lest they be defeated one by one by him.
It is difficult to form a circle of encirclement, as long as the spies get the information properly.
Either fighting or retreating, Wu Nian was very confident to take this group of troops back to Beishan Fort. Now Wu Nian has almost no contact with Beishan Fort.
But according to the plan, Wu Nian guessed that Beishan Fort was already attacking the city and accumulating strength. After they returned, their strength would become huge.
There is food and grass accumulation, material accumulation, and soldiers capable of fighting. Even the 40,000 households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty made a comeback again.
He was not afraid either.
There is no longer any way to defend the city. If Jin Huanshan dares to come, he will dare to lead seven thousand troops to launch a sneak attack.
Block the enemy from outside the country.
Let Beishan Fort develop with peace of mind for a few years, and then it will be self-sufficient, and then there will be great potential.
The base is secure and we can think of ways to counterattack.
"That's it." Zhang Sheng put down his right hand holding the horse's rein, pinched his chin, and suddenly realized.
"This is unexpected." Wang Gui nodded, with a smile on his face.
Wu Nian took out a piece of big cake from behind the horse and started to bite into it. As he chewed, he said: "It's not very comfortable along the way. We have to march day and night. Eat some dry food quickly, otherwise you won't be able to hold on."
The taste of the flatbread is a bit bland and not very tasty, but it is better than filling your stomach.
"Um."
Wang Gui, Zhang made a grunt, and quickly took out the big cake and started eating the dried meat.
Apart from anything else, they had already consumed a lot in the battle just now, so they needed to replenish their supplies.
............
On top of a mountain.
Jin Huanshan, surrounded by his own soldiers, fled here. After confirming that there were no pursuers in the rear, they stopped to rest with confidence.
An officer among the soldiers immediately ordered the rest of the soldiers to disperse and take charge of guarding. Then he supported Jin Huanshan and sat on a rock.
The officer took off the sheepskin water bag he carried from his waist, handed it to Jin Huanshan, and said, "General, please drink some water."
But Jin Huanshan didn't respond.
His horse was gone, his helmet was gone, and his long-handled sword was also lost. All that was left was his blood-stained battle armor and the saber at his waist.
The hair on his head was spread out, his face was stained with blood and dust, and he was looking straight ahead in a daze.
He looked as embarrassed as a bereaved dog. Where could he be as elegant and calm as he was chatting and laughing with Zhang Bu in Jiang County?
He is half Han Chinese and has always been a handsome person.
The soldiers are all close to the general. No matter how cruel a general is, he will still treat his soldiers well, let alone the officers among the soldiers.
Of course, the soldiers will also respect and love the general.
"Hey." The officer looked at Jin Huanshan and felt really distressed and couldn't bear it, but he had no choice but to sigh, and then he found a stone to sit on.
This battle was really fought in vain.
There was no excuse to cover up. They lost. With two thousand elite Mongolian and Yuan soldiers, plus a reorganized Han army of thousands of captains, they competed with Wu Nian.
Although they did not have an advantage in terms of strength, they were definitely strong enough in terms of quality. But they were defeated.
In the past, their military combination could defeat the Liaodong general's 20,000 troops.
This time.
Miserable failure!
Even General Wanhu almost died. If they had not captured Jin Huanshan, Jin Huanshan would have died heroically and became the first Mongolian and Yuan general Wanhu to die in battle.
For a time, it was difficult for the officer himself to accept it, let alone Jin Huanshan?
The general really tried his best. He killed countless soldiers of Wu Nian's army with one big sword. But the more the enemy killed, the more they killed. The more they killed, the more they killed.
When Jin Huanshan heard the officer's long sigh, his expression finally changed. He moved his left hand and placed it on the handle of the knife at his waist. At that moment, he felt like drawing the knife to kill himself.
Such a shame.
Such a shame.
But after Jin Huanshan struggled for a long time, he finally let go of the handle of the knife in his hand. He was dead at that time, but now that he has escaped, it is difficult to die.
"I became the first Wanhu to be defeated head-on. I lost all face. Now I don't have the courage to die. I will live in being laughed at and discussed by others for the rest of my life."
Thinking of this, Jin Huanshan's face gradually turned red, his strong body trembled, and then he lowered his head in despair.
This time it was a blow.
