Chapter 133
Three days after Wei Zhen entered the mountain, he encountered the enemy's stronghold for the first time.) Before he arrived, the 500 "Mutayi Assassins" under Amina who belonged to the "Variety Saint" Ejitane had already detected the movements of the enemy.
"Uncle Wei, I'm afraid their attack will be very large this time. Our people scrambled in directly. They told our people that the old man in the mountains personally led the army to fight, and gathered a large number of troops from Zhao Xu and the Mongols. Zhao Xu even equipped them with as many as 20 flying swallow iii crossbows. I heard that those things have been arranged near the preset battlefield."
Wei Zhen was not very clear about the situation in the mountains. However, with Amina and her subordinates at this moment, the battle situation was very clear to him. The army led by "the old man in the mountains - Alavadin Muhammad" should have wanted to fight an encirclement and annihilation against his subordinates. After all, the other party is more than three times that of his subordinates. If they knew the strength of their subordinates, they would not plan to siege.
However, Zhao Xu did not take action, and the Mongolian generals did not come forward, but led the army to attack by "the old man in the mountains - Alavadin Muhammad". I am afraid that one would want to consume his strength, and the other purpose was to test it. This gave Wei Zhen a difficult question, that is, whether the stronghold he was facing should be fired at this moment. After a bombardment, the old man in the mountains - Alavadin Muhammad" might have to retreat with his subordinates.
As Wei Zhen's main goal, if he runs away, wouldn't it be very discouraging? In addition, if he doesn't fight, then he will start a war with the subordinates of "the old man in the mountains - Alavadin Muhammad", and only God knows what the stronghold behind him will do.
After Amina briefly introduced the situation, she saw Wei Zhen facing the map and said no to cheat. She just used her hand to touch her shaved chin, sucking a cigar desperately, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Uncle Wei, do you have any difficulties?"
Amina did not use official titles to call Wei Zhen, and Zhao Fubo never used official titles to call Wei Zhen. This is Zhao Fubo's way of expressing respect to Wei Zhen. Although it would not allow Wei Zhen to get anything more, respect was enough for him. After all, he taught Zhao Fubo's Kung Fubo back then, and he also gave Zhao Fubo an iron vest armor. From a certain perspective, if it weren't for Wei Zhen, there would probably be Zhao Fubo, who was both civil and military.
"Tsk, this matter is not easy to deal with!"
Wei Zhen was sobbing. It was not that he was not capable, but that he had too much appetite. Just imagine that his army of less than 10,000 people, although his combat capability was super strong, he had to face an army of more than 35,000 people. If he was run away by the other party and then set up fortresses on the hills one by one, Wei Zhen would attack him one by one, then the battle would take a long time, and the supplies needed would be another level of magnitude.
Therefore, if we could eat the army of 35,000 people, knock the mountain and shake the tigers, and scare Zhao Xu and the others out of the mountain. At that time, the "lancers" and "ghost army" under Zhao Fubo could annihilate the enemy's heavy army groups in the field. If things could develop like this, then there would not be too much materials and combat time required.
"Wei Zhen, what's wrong? You have any ideas to say!"
Amina was anxious. Her temper was never very good, otherwise, except for Zhao Fubo and her mother-in-law Ejitane, she would have a cold face to most people every day. Therefore, when she was anxious to urge her, Wei Zhen had to tell her the situation. In this battle, although Amina followed his orders, Amina was one of the future queens. In the Chinese Empire, she was one of the three mothers of the country, and her status was definitely not low.
"Mrs. Amina, I'm a little embarrassed. You see, there is a stronghold in front of us. According to the reconnaissance, there are about 3,000 people. It is also equipped with reincarnation cannons and flying swallow iii type crossbows. When we attack, we may scare away the army led by the old man in the mountains. But if we don't attack, they may make trouble behind when fighting with the army in front!"
Amina looked at the map and Wei Zhen explained a little, and she immediately understood Wei Zhen's worries. However, she immediately came up with a solution, but this incident made Wei Zhen start to get into trouble again.
"Uncle Wei, I see this problem easy to solve. The location of that stronghold is easy to control the nearby mountain roads. Although it clears the obstacles, as you said, it may scare away the enemy. Of course, there will be problems if you don't fight. Why not do this? I will take people up quietly and surround them first. Then ask them to surrender in the name of my mother-in-law. The status and reputation of my mother-in-law and father-in-law in the vulture nest are still good."
Just imagine, one of the future queens will take risks personally. Even if she leads a team of "lancers", their combat capabilities are extremely strong, and they are unlikely to be able to deal with the enemy in the entire fortress. If you accidentally lose the queen, how can you fight this battle?
"That won't work, Mrs. Amina, I heard that there are not only Mu Tuyi people there, but also Zhao Xu's subordinates and Mongolian soldiers there. If you go there and you are not hurt by them, this battle will be even more impossible!"
Amina was a little displeased. She was an assassin and did not have as long-term vision or overall view as Shu Yuer or Princess Qili. According to Wei Zhen's embarrassment, her solution was the best solution. As long as she took it quietly, she could even place five "Hell Messenger II-type field cannons" there. In addition, the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" and "Reincarnation cannons" would only require a small army to control the fortress.
When fighting again, relying on the fortress to arrange an encirclement circle, I want to follow Wei Zhen’s plan to encircle the troops of the “Old Man in the Mountains—Alavadin Muhammad”, and I will be sure to get the most. But now because of his own completeness, Wei Zhen does not agree to do this, so how can this problem be solved?
Just when Wei Zhen and Amina were in a dilemma and didn't know how to do this, someone came out of the officer next to him, who was Lu Kengding, the son of "the old man in the mountains - Alavadin Muhammad".
As a member of the "Ghost Army", he was seconded to Amina because he was familiar with everything in the vulture nest. When Lu Kengding moved, Zhao Fubo did not ask him to persuade him to surrender because of his relationship with the "old man in the mountains - Alavadin Muhammad". So now he thinks it's time to show himself!
