Chapter 191 Ambush
On Yanfang Village, several big birds flew over.

Li Xia looked up and watched them fly across the sky, heading south.

He followed them with his eyes, wanting to see if they would be shot down by the Mongols.

As far as the eye can see, the Mongolian army in the distance is a row of black spots, and the few birds turned around the mountain and disappeared.

Even Li Xia himself didn't know anything about the Mongolian army's combat power, and he was not sure about this first battle...

"County lieutenant, it's the job of the Junlian inspector to defend against these Mengtars." Lai Ba'er persuaded in a low voice.

Lai Ba'er was originally an archer in Qingfu County, and he was also the last one to stab Li Xia four times in the sword fight. Because of this, he also became famous in Qingfu County.

He had been in the third class of the county government office for a long time, and he was a little slippery. He knew that not speaking loudly would disturb morale, so he leaned next to Li Xia, and said, "It's not that I'm a villain, but I feel that I'm losing money and I fought for others."

"If the county captain makes a decision, the villain should never talk too much." Bao San said: "But if it is to stop this Mongolian army, it should be fought by Wu Tong; if it is to train troops, it is just right to fight with more than [-] people in Yanfangzhai , against these more than a hundred veterans of the Mongolian army, our new arrests must have suffered heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Li Xia nodded and said, "I understand what you said."

He looked at the two squad leaders and the chiefs around him, and first asked them to sit down on the floor so as not to be seen by the opposite hill.

"These are common senses. According to common sense, the five-foot road should be guarded by Junlian inspectors; according to common sense, [-] Song troops are in Jinjiangsha. Both water and land roads are safe and sound.

According to common sense, Dali should not be destroyed by Mongolia, Mongolia should not go north from the southwest, Shimen Pass should not be broken, and the Mongolian army should not walk five feet.According to common sense, the Great Song Dynasty is bound to perish. "

The last sentence made everyone's expressions change.

But Li Xia didn't realize it, and said: "People's hearts are like this, and they feel that the battle should be handed over to others, which is still far away from themselves. When Hanzhong, Chengdu, and Dali were here, everyone was so lucky.

Now the Mongols are in sight, the main battle is 150 miles to the west, and the Mongolian army's partial division is ten miles in front of us.Still thinking that someone else should fight, counting on Zhang Shi to win, counting on Wu Tong to win, and still making such a fluke.

To be honest, I am not optimistic about Wu Tong, this man has too much merchant spirit over military force.If this Mongolian army is allowed to go out five feet and kill Qingfu County, we can still point to Wu Tong's head and ask him, "You should guard it"?Ruomeng soldiers' swords were about to hit our necks, and we still want to report this luck and hope that others will spare our lives?
Lai Ba'er, you talk about responsibility and power, and Bao San, you talk about the method of training soldiers.Reasons are right, but fighting is not reasonable.To fight is to be unreasonable. "

When Li Xia said this, no matter how everyone reacted, his tone became more determined.

In his opinion, the first enemy to face in this battle was not the soldiers, but the cowardice in the hearts of the soldiers.

He has participated in many competitions and understands this deeply.

"Speaking of this battle, this is a very rare opportunity. We just pulled out Yanfangzhai, even if we only killed 30 to [-] people, the morale of the recruits was at its peak when they saw blood.

We rested for two days, and saw them first, so as to be prepared; the terrain at the foot of the mountain is narrow, and we are condescending, which is the best terrain; the Mongolian army has only a hundred people, and the follow-up troops cannot support them on this five-foot road.

If you don't seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if you don't seize it at the right time, place, and people.Would it be possible to wait until the plains, facing thousands, or even tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, before considering how to lead the first battle of recruits? "

After finishing speaking, Li Xia raised his hand to stop the elders from speaking.

"Bao San, Jiang Fan, you are old soldiers, and the soldiers are the most convinced of you. Put away all your worries and experiences, and tell the soldiers that we will ambush the Mongolian army in this battle, and we will surely win."

"Yes!" Bao San said: "The villain understands, fuck the 'reason', this battle must be won!"

"Keep down, don't startle the bird. Be gentle."

"Yes."

"Huuhu, go and select 60 people with the best archery skills, prepare bows and arrows, and choose the best ambush point."

"Yes……"

~~
A Mongolian soldier named "Bayin" was ordered by the centurion Duke to lead people up a high mountain.

He held a pickaxe in his hand, so he could hang on to the rocks to borrow strength, and he would dig twice directly when he encountered a place that was not easy to climb, and dug out a place where he could stay.

Over the years, Wulianghetai moved to the southwest, passed through Tubo, and defeated Wuman, Baiman, Guiman, Fumo, Moxie and other tribes. .

After climbing for more than an hour, I finally reached the top of the mountain.

Bayin ate some dry food, kicked the guide brought from Wumeng, and asked, "What mountain is this?"

"The jar is sharp. The place where the centurion is about to reach is called Yanfanggou. The road there is wider, and there is a chisel on the cliff. The chiseled road is not easy to walk. It seems that the centurion should rest in Yanfanggou ..."

Bayin scolded, "You don't need to teach the centurion to march."

He squinted his eyes for a while, pointed to the high mountain next to Yanfanggou and asked, "Is there a stockade on that mountain?"

"The villain followed this path a few years ago, and there was no village at that time."

"There is a stockade now." Bayin said: "I can see that the trees on the top of the mountain have been cut down, but it can only be a small stockade. It's not like the big village we pulled up."

"Yes, yes, only the general can pull out the old man's stronghold. The villain was... frightened, petrified."

Bayin wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped talking, his eyes narrowed gradually.

"Are those people..."

~~
It was almost noon, and Duke looked over, and there was finally a slightly open road ahead.

He had already asked the guide, and he knew that it was called Yanfanggou, and it was a place where he could rest, eat some dry food, and avoid the sun.

Looking up again, there are high and steep mountains on both sides of Yanfanggou.But it is not a cliff, the trees are dense, and it is still possible to climb.

The deep mountains and old forests can be used for hunting, and if there is a source of water, it is a place where the barbarians can build a village.

Du Ke looked up, but there was no beacon smoke for ten miles.

He was a little impatient, and he had walked more than half of the five-foot road. The Song army hadn't discovered people like himself, and the defense was too lax.

A Shu said at the beginning that Shu soldiers gathered in the north of the river, and the defenses in the south of Shu must be empty. If the battle goes well, they will go straight to Hezhou and take Sichuan and Shu.

Even if it doesn't go well, Zhao Song will have to build defenses in southern Shu if he fights a fierce battle.It is equivalent to opening up another battlefield outside Lianghuai, Jinghu, and Sichuan.

Then, with the national strength of Zhao Song, a place with such a big ass, it would be too late.

As soon as Du Ke heard it, he suddenly realized that the purpose of this fight was to let Zhao Song know that "I will give you a hard time from behind you".

As long as you are ruthless enough, whether you win or lose on the battlefield, you will win.

Du Ke felt that A Shu looked rough, but he was really smart.

Just thinking about this, a Mongolian soldier named "Dari" made a suggestion.

"Centurion, the Song army didn't find us here, or we can simply speed up the march and finish the journey of five or six days in three days. Before the Song army can react, climb to their pass city from both sides. Snatch Guancheng and make a head start?"

When Du Ke heard it, he was quite moved, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head.

"Listen to General A Shu, he told us to explore the way, just explore the way, a closed city, don't take it seriously."

Having said this, the team has almost arrived at Yanfanggou.

Suddenly, a sound of blare came from afar.

Du Ke looked up and shouted suddenly: "There is an ambush!"
