Chapter 743 Calculation (1 more)
The drums and horns sing, the beacon fires and the wolf smokes! Shocked the beasts and birds.
This side is silent and sets up a formation in a defending posture to wait for the opponent to attack. The Baimang Mountain is a dense forest and has no way at all. If the opponent wants to attack, there is only one way, which is called Jiuqugou.
As the name suggests, the mountain road is winding and 18 bends, and at most two carriages can be used with each other. There are either towering peaks or cliff-breaking arms on both sides. It is very difficult to march on such a road, so it is impossible to rush.
When the Huo family army and the Yun family army arrived here, they both passed through this road and knew the dangers of Jiuqugou.
For the Daxia attacking side, it was a very difficult road, but for Jiuhua, it was the best place to defend the land, setting up an ambush here, each setting is accurate.
Anyone with a little common sense and a mind will not choose to go through this path when seeing this path.
But... Daxia has no choice.
Unless you spare Baimang Mountain and go straight to the northwest from another road, and this road requires a large circle, the time of march alone will be extended by at least twenty days. This is the northwestern border of Daxia. If you have marching for such a long time, the military rations and other consumption will be too high and the supply cannot be provided, and you will not be able to guarantee the long-term battle later.
There is more than one Jiuhua on the border. Although Yaofang and Dayuan are fighting and not giving in to each other, the form of this generation is still complex.
There are still garrisons in Dayuan and Yaofang. They all know that the neighboring countries here will not open the doors to let others step on their own territory.
Yi Yongming was indeed ready. The hand that was opening the road ahead was either a knife or an axe, a small tree and vines, and they cut it straight over and walked forward around the big tree. The speed of the march was not too slow.
"I have to say that I still have some courage to walk into Jiuqugou." Yun Yinjie touched his chin and stood halfway up the mountain looking at the Daxia soldiers who had entered Jiuqugou. He had no hesitation at all, so hesitated that he was not afraid of being made by them.
"About this, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses! Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are leading the way, and the emperor personally fought for it. It is indeed a big deal." Huo Zhende could only know the number of soldiers and horses by looking at it briefly.
Gu Qingchen has never said much, and those present are worth more than her, but even though he doesn't say much, standing in front of these generals, it is difficult for people to ignore.
In addition to the special feature of a woman, the little bit of slaughtering aura she had on the battlefield was already a little bit of aura.
She may not have noticed it yet, but Gu Qingchen is no longer the same as before.
"Several generals, the Emperor of Daxia, resolutely walked through Jiuqugou. I'm afraid there will be a way to deal with our ambush. I'll go up and take a look." Gu Qingchen looked at the situation below and was a little worried.
Although from now on, the offensive side does not have an advantage in either aspect, and the people are in a good position and people are not at all involved, so how can we be so confident... It is abnormal and there must be monsters!
"I'll go." Luo Tianyou was always cautious. Gu Qingchen could think of it, so he naturally thought of it, and wanted to find out.
They have arranged the natural ambush points in Jiuqugou. With just one order, the Daxia soldiers will enter the ambush circle. It is not that easy to get out.
But Daxia should also know this very well, why can he still rush in so openly and without any fear?
Gu Qingchen looked at the situation below. General Luo's footsteps were faster than him, and he was not arrogant. He nodded and continued to stare.
"Gen. Huo, Tianyou will go. I'll have a hard time here."
"General Luo is careful."
Huo Zhende said in a deep voice, watching Luo Tianyou leave, and then looked at the young people beside him, feeling deeply moved. Half a year ago, they were all abilities, but they were so irritable, but they were so arrogant and impatient, and they could lead troops to fight, and they had to rush up and sink down. This was the talent for generals. It was rare for generals to be here.
It seems that the Huo family’s choice this time was right.
Because the master of nothingness attracts some kind of people to get close.
These young people are all good, good!
Especially there is a girl. Since seeing these two female generals, her two granddaughters are also ready to move...
Forget it, the world is different. You can achieve extraordinary talents in troubled times. Let them go. There is no eye for swords on the battlefield, but everyone has their own destiny.
General Gu was willing to let him go, and Huo Zhende could not be bad either.
I heard that when the prince went to Youzhou, the entire northwest, including Macaque City, were taken into account with the princess' command. Perhaps, this woman may not be inferior to a man.
"Veter Huo, Qingchen goes around and takes a look." There was always a hint of uneasiness in his heart.
Huo Zhende nodded, "Go."
"General Yun, what's the matter with you?" Huo Hengzhi looked at Gu Qingchen who was walking away, approached Yun Yinjie and said in a low voice.
Yun Yinjie nodded, "Gen. Huo, please say anything if you have anything to say." He was so enthusiastic that he actually saw something tricky, and he was waiting to see the excitement in his heart.
Huo Hengzhi is not young anymore, forty or fifty years old, he has been staring at Gu Qingchen just now, don't think he can't see it.
Then Gu Qingchen probably noticed it, so he walked away on the pretext of noticing...
"Is this General Gu a marriage?" He is a newcomer and is not very familiar with the situation. He has an idea in his mind, so of course he needs to ask clearly.
Even after hearing this sentence, Old General Huo couldn't help frowning. What did he do when these two armies were fighting?
Yun Yinjie thought to himself, look, he is so serious, it’s not right, Huo Hengzhi has a lot of sons and daughters, and his wife is alive, so she wants to take a concubine...
Taking this Gu Qingchen? He is afraid he is thinking too much.
Even he felt absurd.
"I have never heard of this. General Huo asked about the girl's marriage...is not suitable." Yun Yinjie joked.
There is a difference between closeness and distantness. Although Gu Qingchen is usually deserted, he is still familiar with him. In addition, Gu Qingchen is quite liked by his junior sister, so he has to help remind him.
"It made General Yun laugh, hey! If you don't look at General Gu like this woman, and be a father, you can't help but want to arrange something for your son. Thank you for telling me!" If you don't have a marriage, you can just mention it to Gu's hometown and try it...
This daughter-in-law is so good that she is suitable for their Huo family.
Well... it's for my son!
That's fine! Yun Yinjie touched his nose with a fake smile and said, the Huo family can't do such an uncontrollable one.
"I only know a rough idea about this. I'm afraid General Huo will take a closer look. After all, it's about the big matter of a woman's marriage..." It's not appropriate to ask so casually, but fortunately they are not others.
"Yes! Huo is just a rough man, thank you." Huo Hengzhi smiled. It seemed that he had no engagement.
When Huo Zhende listened, he didn't say anything and didn't stop him, he agreed with Huo Hengzhi's idea.
If this Gu Qingchen could be the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, well, he would look good. The Huo family was originally a general, but he would not be very happy about those ladies from the family.
Yun Yinjie's eyes turned, Xiaoxiao didn't respond, this... Unexpectedly, the people from the Huo family were so good, well, I turned around and told the junior sister about this.
It seems that General Gu is also worried about his granddaughter's marriage. Now, everyone has delivered it to his door.
"General Huo, if they want to use fire attack, they must reach the middle and upper section of the Jiuqugou. Here, Daxia's soldiers and horses are 500,000. If they enter the ditch and reach this position, there are probably 60,000 to 70,000 to the end... Let's ambush as soon as possible."
If the gap is not blocked at once and let them sneak in and light a fire, it will be troublesome.
Yun Yinjie was staggering the topic at the right time, and looking at the Daxia soldiers and horses that were still pouring into Jiuqugou, he also felt a little unusual.
Isn’t this clearly coming up to die?
"Hmph, if they can't get there, they will be taken over by the ambush. We have the advantage of our position. We will collect as much as they come. However, this march is a bit strange. Let's see if General Luo can see the other party's intentions." As for taking action, I waited for a while, and now the other party has just begun to pour into Jiuqugou.
"General Huo, I'll go and have a look, too."
Yun Yinjie looked at the direction where Luo Tianyou disappeared just now and frowned. No matter how confused the emperor of Daxia is, he would not know that this is an excellent place to set up an ambush.
The troops were still pouring in. They had previously predicted that the other party would test a few waves.
But now, there is no intention of temptation.
Jiuqu returned to the mouth of the ditch, Yi Jiuxi had stopped looking at the horse and watched Daxia soldiers constantly entering the valley road. His face was a little excited, and his eyes were a little abnormal, but the people around him had not noticed it.
"Your Majesty, this Jiuqugou road is too easy to set up an ambush. Why don't we let the front line protrude out the road and consume their ambush force bit by bit, and then the army will push in..."
The person who spoke was an old general who looked very bad at the soldiers and horses pouring into Jiuqugou.
Anyone who uses military force knows that this path is dangerous and all the things. Isn’t this kind of rush to seek death?
The emperor said that he had his own big plan, but they still don't know about this big plan. They only saw Daxia soldiers walking through the ambush circle of each other. If they didn't stop, it would be too late.
Although it was the first time that the emperor had personally fought, he would not be able to see such an obvious terrain.
He was very thoughtful, but he only received a look.
Yi Yongming sat on the back of a horse, wearing armor, only his eyes were exposed. He looked at it. The old general's lips moved, and finally shut up and stopped talking. However, he sighed in his heart and said in his heart, I hope the emperor has a brilliant plan.
Yi Yongming was too lazy to explain to these self-righteous old guys, and he didn't want to make any moves to affect morale.
He looked up at the battle flag flying beside him, curled his lips and smiled, and his eyes were full of confidence.
"Are the tincture ready?"
"Yes!" The deputy general on the side quickly replied.
The turmeric oil has been prepared long ago, but now it is ignited. I am afraid that it will run away when I see smoke and dust on the other end. What is the emperor planning to do with this fire attack?
Yi Yongming held the horse whip in his hand and pointed to the Jiuqugou in front of him, "Continue to move forward! Send the turmeric oil."
"yes!"
Although I was confused in my heart, no one asked more questions at this time, because the lessons of the old general were learned from.
In this battle, they knew that if the emperor wanted to win, they wanted to win, and they also wanted to win. They were indeed stronger than the other party, but now they were in the right time and place, so they should make plans for a long time and slowly.
Of course, regardless of the ambush, they could rush out of Baimang Mountain without 100,000 troops trampling over, but the losses were too great.
These days, the emperor has formulated a combat plan in the tent, but has not discussed it with them.
Now I can only worry about how the emperor arranged it.
When everyone smelled the smell of tincture oil, they couldn't help but frown. Once the fire arose, they would not follow their will and only burn the other party and not themselves.
"Zhao Yuanchu, bring people forward."
"Yes!" Zhao Yuanchu glanced at Jiuqugou and sneered at the generals around him.
What do these old people know? Let’s wait and see the show later.
Now, the northwest wind has begun to blow. If the girl said that, in a moment, the sky will change.
At that time, the northwest wind that lasts for a day and a night, and a fire will burn all the Jiuhua Army opposite.
They couldn't avoid this fire at all because... the emperor had a clever plan.
But now, I'll wait for a moment.
And those who entered Jiuqugou at this time... for the great victory in Daxia and to replace nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Huo family on the opposite side, it was worth it.
Just as 50,000 troops entered Jiuqugou, Yi Yongming raised his hand and finally ordered the marching to stop.
The old generals were relieved, but they had already entered 50,000 troops. Is it too late to call for a stop now?
The other party can take action at any time!
