Valley Emperor

Xin Ai Huang Taiji was still riding on the horse, looking at the elite cavalry under his command in a good mood. They turned into industrious engineers, moved stones from nearby, and then piled small stone piles on the wide road, or piled them up. Low parapet.

The chaotic stone formations they created were not even very dense, but scattered. The stone piles were not tall, and the tallest was only half a person's height. Most of them just dropped stones on the road.

Because their purpose is not to say that it is impossible to directly build a city wall in this area that is several kilometers wide.

Their purpose is just to make it impossible for the large convoys to pass smoothly in this area, forcing the vehicles of the Datang Army to spread out, so that they can take advantage of it.

After all, the biggest means of resisting the Tatar cavalry for the transport troops of the Tang Army is to form an array, and an array, whether it is a hollow phalanx of infantry or a vehicle array, requires a wide area, especially for vehicles. In other words, a large open area is needed to maintain a tight vehicle formation.

If it was just an ordinary road and there were no traffic on both sides, these vehicles would not be able to maintain a huge phalanx, and could only advance in traditional columns.

In this case, it will give Xin Ai Huang Taiji's cavalry a greater chance!

Xin Ai Huang Taiji's plan is quite simple, but it is extremely efficient.

After Liu Mengyang and others brought the transport troops to this area, they were all shocked by the persistence of the Tatars!

What they saw at this time was a rocky beach!

That's right, it's just a rocky beach. Liu Mengyang can say with certainty that this broken place was definitely a flat road a day ago.

For a moment, he seemed to think he had gone to the wrong place, but when he looked up at the mountains on both sides of the north and south, he knew that he had not gone to the wrong place.

But, how come there are so many rocks here, and there are also mounds built up by excavation?

Obviously, the Tatars on the opposite side did it!

These Tatars are really speechless. In such a large area, they actually choose to intercept and ambush themselves here? When you are stupid.

The reason why Liu Mengyang dared to lead the transport troops through this canyon is because although this place can barely be called a canyon, it is definitely not a dangerous place. At most, there are low hills on each side. The two low hilltops are the kind that can be rushed up directly by riding a horse.

At most, there is a small river nearby, but the water is no more than waist deep, so even if you cross the river directly, it will have no effect.

Even if they are blocked, they can turn around and leave at any time, because this canyon is very flat, and at the same time, it is two or three kilometers wide, which does not affect the troops' operations and maneuvering at all.

Therefore, this place looks like a canyon, but it is definitely not a dangerous place. The enemy is unlikely to intercept or ambush in such a place.

But that's what the Tatars on the opposite side did!

Moreover, the way of interception is very strange. There is no formation of cavalry charge, nor a tall city wall, nor any traps. It just dug a lot of dirt pits in the canyon and accumulated a lot of mounds. , again, many stones were moved from the nearby area.

Forcibly turned a flat land into a rocky beach full of pits!

What is this for?

It's not hard for Liu Mengyang to guess that they must have the idea of ​​breaking up their own car formation. Passing through this kind of rocky beach terrain, their car formation cannot be maintained at all.

Are you going to detour?

Liu Mengyang began to think about the possibility of taking a detour in his mind. The grassland is so wide, and it is almost the same wherever he goes. The reason why he chose to take this road is just because of inertia. The main force of the previous Ninth Army, Just follow this route.

Before that, there was no concept of a so-called road here!

Most of the roads on the grassland cannot be called roads at all. There is actually no difference between them and other places on the grassland. At most, there are more people walking.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the term detour does not exist, because there is no road in the usual sense at all, at most it is just a marching route.

At the same time, the troops of the Ninth Army have been on this route many times, and they are familiar with the situation along the way. More importantly, this route is the closest one after another.

Otherwise, Liu Mengyang would not choose to take this path.

It is feasible to take a detour, but it will also increase the distance and increase some uncontrollable risks.

What should I do?

When Liu Mengyang was thinking about it, a captain next to him rode his horse over and said, "Captain, do you want to open the way?"

"Open the way?" Liu Mengyang didn't think of this possibility. When he saw this 'rocky beach', his first thought was that the Tartars were in ambush, and then detoured, but the idea of ​​opening the way directly, he was never produced.

If you want to open the road, you need to remove the rubble on the road, fill up the dirt pits, not to mention arrange everything, but at least a few passages must be sorted out.

But in this process, the Tartars will definitely not be indifferent, and they are also people with bows, arrows and swords, and they will definitely not sit back and watch the road and remain indifferent.

At this time, Cao Guangtao also stepped forward and said: "If you open the way directly, I am afraid that the risk is very high. The enemy will definitely try to stop it. At that time, I am afraid that we will be in a hard fight here!"

But when Liu Mengyang heard Cao Guangtao's words, he seemed to remember something, and then murmured the words "hard fight", and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This smile is not a sneer, but a confident smile!

Immediately, everyone heard Liu Mengyang say: "Since the Tartars are so confident, then we naturally cannot retreat. Right here, we will fight them!"

After Liu Mengyang finished speaking, he gave the order to his subordinates: "Order the whole army to prepare for battle. Today, we will fight a **** path!"

While waiting for his subordinates to take orders to prepare, Liu Mengyang immediately took two steps forward, looking at the rocky beach ahead, and the thousands of Tatar cavalry behind the rocky beach!

Then he said to a personal soldier behind him: "You immediately report to the military headquarters!"

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then said in a very serious tone: "It is said that the headquarters intends to use the baggage as a temptation to fight the Tartars to the death. This battle is dangerous, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of the baggage. Quickly send allies to respond!"

When Liu Mengyang's personal soldiers heard this, they still didn't react for a while. He heard the conversation of several officers just now. Even if he wanted to open the way and rush over, it was definitely not enough to fight to the death. , they can still retreat, and then take a detour, how did they reach Liu Mengyang's mouth, this turned into a fight to the death!

And there is no plan to use baggage as bait!

The soldiers did not understand, but this did not prevent him from obeying the order!

After Liu Mengyang finished speaking, he quickly wrote a letter with charcoal pen, stamped it with the regimental headquarters and his own private seal, and handed it to the personal soldiers after the wax seal, so that he must send it to the military headquarters as soon as possible.

With doubts, the personal soldiers began to gallop on their horses. He didn't know what Liu Mengyang's plan was, but he could see from Liu Mengyang's demeanor that the matter was serious and he could not delay in the slightest.

Naturally, this personal soldier didn't know, and neither did the other officers. Liu Mengyang was planning to make a big ticket!

How big is it?

To the extent that this transport force will be wiped out!

Liu Mengyang took out the monocular once again and looked at the five thousand Tatar cavalry in front!

He murmured in his mouth: "As long as the previous battle loss ratio can be maintained, there is no harm in fighting with this Tartar. If this cavalry can be annihilated, even if the entire regiment is exhausted, it will be a big profit. !"

At this time, there were no other subordinate officers around him, and there were no personal soldiers, so no one heard his murmurings. If any subordinates heard his words, it would probably cause an uproar.

Liu Mengyang didn't even think about breaking through, and he didn't even care if he could send the baggage to the military headquarters. Anyway, the military department carried a lot of baggage with the army, and there was no shortage of supplies he escorted in a short period of time.

In addition, there are too many reserves on the Great Wall. If you lose a transport force like yourself, you can send a few more at any time!

But if you use your own transport force to fight off the opponent's thousands of cavalry, you don't need to fight all of their 5,000 cavalry, as long as you get rid of most of their cavalry, then you will make a lot of money.

Because he knew that if his transport troop was annihilated, the second transport troop on the Great Wall would appear again in two days at most, or even two in a short time.

But can the Tartars pull out another five thousand cavalry to intercept the food passage?

Even if it is possible, how long can the Tatar troops last?

Fighting on the grasslands in the north, fighting mobile warfare, and siege warfare are all nonsense. In Liu Mengyang's view, it is to exchange lives with these Tatars. , even the price of paying the same hundreds of thousands of soldiers and casualties is worth it.

Because he knew very well that the loss of ten or two hundred thousand troops would at most be the pain of a broken arm for the huge Tang Empire, but as long as the Tang Empire was given a few months, it would be relieved.

But at that time, the Tartars in the north probably couldn't even find a few young men...

What to spell ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is more effective than spelling out population!

Liu Mengyang holds this kind of thinking, and many senior generals actually hold this kind of thinking, but for the vast majority of middle and low-level officers and even ordinary soldiers, this kind of thinking is too extreme.

Even among senior officers, not everyone is like Liu Mengyang, who can regard the lives of soldiers as cold numbers, thinking that 3,000 infantry for 3,000 cavalry is a big profit.

Liu Mengyang also knew this kind of thinking of his own. He could do it in private, but he must not do it in public, let alone say it, otherwise, it would 100% shake the military's heart!

Liu Mengyang led the troops to make a forcible move on the rocky beach with the mentality of smashing the entire 13th carriage and creating an opportunity to kill more than half of the cavalry on the opposite side!

This move also made the opposite Xin Ai Huang Taiji deeply frown!

At this moment, he was quite unhappy, because he felt that the barbarians of the Southern Tang Dynasty were ignoring him!

With such a big trap set here, they can't see it?

Do not!

They can see!

Then why did they break in?

Because they feel that this trap is not easy, and they can break through it safely!
