Chapter 220 Mountains
Centurion Xiri turned his head on the mountainside and saw Nige retreating westward.

This is impossible.

Today, the generals of the Song Army took advantage of the mountains and currents to complete a blockade.

But Nige failed to occupy the commanding heights, and could not see the strength and layout of the Song Army.For the sake of safety, the battlefield must be opened to give full play to the advantages of the Mongolian army in riding and shooting.

The order Xiri received was to continue to attack the mountain and occupy the top of the mountain.

He led his men to climb up another section, and found that Song Jun began to shoot stones in his direction again.

Xiri was furious, turned his head, and suddenly found that the Song army down the mountain did not pursue Nige, but began to surround him, the centurion and two hundred servants.

"Aren't you chasing Nigg? It's too calm."

Xi Ri felt extremely surprised.

In today's battle, Song Bing's momentum has always made people feel that he is going to defeat the entire Mongolian army, and has already taken advantage. Unexpectedly, the main attack direction can be changed in an instant.

"Ordinary people can't be so calm..."

He muttered something and looked west.

The two centurions of Galdi and Tumen Baoyin set off later than him, and went west for a long way. They had not climbed high enough, and they had already turned around and went down the mountain to gather the captives and Dali's servants after receiving the order. up.

"They're all gone? But Song Jun didn't chase after him..."

Xiri shivered suddenly, realizing that he had been divided and surrounded.

Only then did he feel panicked, and even asked Gardi and Tumen Baoyin for help.

But it was too late.

Nige was blocked by Dali's rout, while the distance between Gardi and Tumen Baoyin had been opened.

"Exiute!" Xiri yelled a foul word, very angry.

……

Most of the Mongolian army had already rushed far west, and the defeated army chased after them.

The setting sun ran ahead of them.

As the sun sets, Xiri can no longer change the fact that she is surrounded by the Song Army...

~~
On the top of Balan Mountain, the prepared cannon stones have gradually been used up.

Seeing that the tactical encirclement was completed and the victory was determined, Li Xia drew out his sword and rushed down the mountain.

Most of his subordinates are recruits, and he needs to lead the way to boost morale.

Li Xia had never studied the art of war. All his commands came from thinking about fighting the Mongolian army, and some of them came from Zhang Shi's reflection on his defeat.

He learned the tactics of the Mongolian army, but the Mongolian army used cavalry to divide and outflank, while he used mountains and rivers to divide and outflank.

……

"puff."

The long sword pierced the neck of a Dali servant, and Li Xia suddenly thought of Gao Mingyue.

He thought about how these Dali people were fighting for the Mongolian army so loyally, how could she and her family restore the situation in Dali.

This thought flashed by, Li Xia's eyes became firmer, and his sword swing became more fierce.

"prick!"

Xiong Shi roared and rushed forward.

He thought he was right to follow Li Xia in the army.

Baiyan Mountain is right behind, and you can see it from here.

The county lieutenant from a foreign country is still working so hard to defeat the enemy, how can the local men still shrink back?

Following Xiong Shi's loud roar, the spear in Mao Yi'er Yishi's hand plunged down at the same instant.

Some of them don't know how to fight yet.

They will, and they will only stab together under orders.

"Puff puff……"

Dali's servant soldiers almost collapsed after only one encounter.

"Stab!" Xiong Shan shouted again.

Standing in the ranks, Yang Ben held on to his spear, and finally forgot the art of war in his mind, and followed orders like his comrades.

He has been punished many times for disobeying orders, and seeing the blood of the enemy soldiers today, he also knows that the whole team is more effective than fighting alone.

But Yang Ben couldn't help but look at the Mongolian army centurion in the distance.

He really wanted to rush up and take the opponent's head.

I want to stand out and make contributions, but I have to listen to orders.

At this moment, he was full of enthusiasm, but also deeply depressed, and all these emotions could only be swayed with the spear in his hand.

"Kill..."

He didn't know how long he had been killed, but suddenly, Yang Ben stared and looked through the blood mist, and saw Liu Jinsuo rushing forward almost desperately, and pierced the centurion's throat with a single shot.

He felt very unwilling.

If he is the leader of the squad, he can also lead people directly to the enemy general.

But Xiongshan only wanted to drive away the scattered Dali servants and disperse the Mongolian army, and he didn't know how to cut the enemy's formation...

~~
Xiri is more unwilling than Yang Ben.

After Xili fell into the siege, his fighting spirit was not firm, and he wanted to run westward from the mountainside to retake the horses, but was thrown into disorder.

If he tried to escape again, a spear had already pierced his throat.

He also heard the big man behind him panting and cursing.

"Damn! You said that I have never fought a war? Could it be that I have never fought a war?!"

~~
The battle was over before sunset...

Another 16-year-old boy might be dazzled by the victory, but Li Xia was still very calm.

He knew that today could only be regarded as a small victory. Except for the snatching of three ships and more than 200 prisoners, the difference in battle losses between the two sides was not much.

Probably with 50 casualties, more than [-] Mongolian soldiers were killed.

Now is not the time to expand the results of the war.

Li Xia quickly ordered to withdraw the troops, and at the same time issued one order after another.

"Count the casualties, search and rescue the wounded..."

"The Dali soldiers who drove away the captives dragged the boat back to the camp as soon as possible..."

"Let Song He inform the Miao villages in the west, such as Duantou Mountain and Jianzi Mountain, to prepare cannon stones at all times, so that the Mongolian army will think that we have troops stationed on the mountain. Tell them, remember to prevent the Mongolian army from attacking at night..."

"Let Yu Bing quickly notify the county seat to move all the people into the city before tomorrow..."

"Huhu, you lead people to guard Balan Mountain, detect the movement of the Mongolian army, and replenish stones and trees..."

"Liu Jinsuo, you and I go to the west to have a look. Everyone else, hurry back to the camp to prepare..."

"..."

After an order, Li Xia led Liu Jinsuo's team of 100 people along the mountain to the west.

It's getting dark.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw a bonfire at the foot of the mountain.

"Damn it, these Mengtars gathered the rout so quickly." Liu Jinsuo scolded.

Li Xia said: "Send someone to inform each village of the location of the Mongolian army..."

After watching for a while, I saw that the Mongolian army at the foot of the mountain had extinguished the bonfire, and with the sound of horseshoes, they disappeared.

"Did they find us?"

"No, it's because of caution, not to camp too close to the battlefield."

Looking at the mountains in the night, Li Xia felt that after today's small victory, the battle would be even more difficult.

The Mongolian army lost their boats, and they will come in from any mountain next.

No matter how difficult it is to calculate their route and ambush them like today...

~~
At dawn, Li Xia woke up in the forest.

He didn't dare to light a fire at night. He only slept for a while, and his body was covered with dew.

He took out the map from his pocket and looked at it, but luckily it wasn't wet yet.

On the map, the terrain of Qingfu County is like an eye, with mountains in the north and south sandwiching it, and the county seat is like an eyeball.

And Fu Jiang is like a knife mark on the eyes, breaking through the north and south mountains.

The reason why Li Xia went to guard the five-foot road was to prevent the Mongolian army from going down the Fujiang River from the south.

But yesterday they met at Balan Mountain, in order to prevent the Mongolian army from going up the Fu River from the north.

The north-south waterways are guarded, and the Mongolian army can only climb over the mountains, which means that they cannot carry too much supplies.

This is the meaning of the strong wall and the clear field.

Li Xia drew his hand along the north and south mountains of Qingfu County on the map, and murmured.

"Dare to come in and drag you to death here."

He stood up, led people down the mountain, observed the horseshoe prints left by the Mongolian army on the ground, chased for a while, and continued to mark on the map, preparing for the next ambush.

~~
Nige didn't know that Li Xia was following him.

He gathered four centurions of Red Army scouts and more than a hundred Dali servants, thinking about the next situation.

Did you go back to Syria to report to Wuliang Hetai and you lost?Or continue to plunder Qingfu County, snatch back ships and food, and then go down the Fu River?

After hesitating for a long time, Nige sent someone to report that he was blocked by more than a thousand people from the Changning Army. He also said that there was a navy in Qingfu County, and asked Marshal Du to send troops to attack from the east.

And he planned to climb over the mountains, recover the loss, and cover up this small defeat...

After making these arrangements, Nige realized that the three captive ships and the sailors of the Song soldiers were actually somewhat cumbersome.

It is precisely because of them that the Song army knew its marching route in advance and set up an ambush, losing the advantage of coming and going like the wind.

"E Xiute! What kind of navy do you want? The navy will only implicate me!"

……

In the next two days, Nige led his troops to try to climb the mountain in the valley southwest of Fuqing County, but they were attacked by artillery stones in Duolingou Mountain, Jianzi Mountain and other places.

He was surprised how there were so many garrisons in such a small county, and he had two judgments in his heart.

Either there are some indigenous barbarians on the mountain who have learned how to fire a cannon; or, it is really the Changning Army stationed in Qingfu County.

Nige was too lazy to attack these poor cottages, looking around, he was going to cross the mountain at Leech Ridge...

~~
"The Mongolian army is about to cross the mountain at Leech Ridge."

Li Xia sat on the ground, spread out the map, and recruited everyone around him.

"Let's set things up..."
