Chapter 225 drag down
Nige strode through the camp, listening to the shout of "attack the camp", he looked around, but he didn't see Song Jun's figure.

"Harichagai! Where are the people who raided the camp?"

Harichagai was still running in a hurry, and replied: "Going north, only twenty riders."

Nigger was displeased and asked, "Where's the horse?"

"Still looking, these people are like mice, they dare not call in, they only steal things."

As he spoke, he saw a big fire in the tent to the north.

Nige opened his bow while walking, squinted his eyes, and saw a group of Song soldiers wearing Mongolian leather armor outside the burning tent lighting the fire.

He shot an arrow, and with a "poof", the arrow pierced through a Song Bing's body.

The rest of the dozen or so Song soldiers did not dare to set fire again, and fled in all directions in an instant.

"A bunch of rats! Damn..."

The second attack on the camp tonight subsided again.

Nigger didn't chase after him, but stood there with his bow in his hand, looking at the burning tent with gloomy eyes.

"Commander, our luggage..."

"Let you find the horses!" Nigg roared, "As long as there are horses, you can grab the luggage anywhere!"

"Yes, when the horse is not so panicked, you can come back by blowing the whistle."

~~
A Mongolian horse snorted, looking at the high mountain in front of it, reluctant to go up.

A Hmong man is pulling it hard.

The horse's hooves scratched the ground and refused to move.

With a sound of "pa", Xiongshi gave it a whip, and it had no choice but to climb up the mountain reluctantly.

There are more than 70 Miao people, and they are walking up the mountain with forty horses.
"Uncle Aqi, what do we need so many horses for?" Xiong Shi asked.

Xiong Aqi said: "I think you are living a better life. What do you need a horse for? Killing it is still meat!"

"Uncle Ah Qi, Brother Xiong Shi. You can't kill and eat them. The old man said that if you sell them to Li Xianwei, you can sell them for a lot of money."

"I know." Xiong Aqi said, "It's a pity that we only found these. This is really strange. I think several villages sent people down to snatch horses. How did they know about this?"

"Li Xianwei sent someone to tell you."

"Let us Baiyanzhai lead all the horses."

Xiong Shi said: "Where can we take all the horses? What Li Xianwei wants is to make the Mongolian army lose their horses. The more people come to lead them, the more horses the Mongolian army can take."

"Hey, come to ten villages, each village only needs to bring [-] horses, and let these Mongolian troops be trapped in our territory..."

Someone shouted in the distance.

"Brother Xiong Shi, I found another one, and I'm eating bamboo leaves at the foot of the mountain!"

~~
"The commander... many horses are missing..."

"Missing?" Nige was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean missing?"

"It was stolen to the mountain again by the old man."

"Again?!" Nigg was furious, and cursed, "These southwestern barbarians, damn... how much did you get back?"

"More than 70 horses."

Nigger was silent, stroking his bald head with his big hands, looking a bit decadent.

A while ago, A Shu was also stolen from his horse, and in a fit of rage he pulled out the three villages of the local old man.

But things are different now.At that time, Ashu was the vanguard, and the army was in the rear. Now Nige is alone in Qingfu, and the army is eager to go eastward along the Yangtze River, and has no time to spend with him.

In addition, in the past, all the native villages did not support each other. Now if any village is attacked, the defenders of Qingfu County will support it.

The most important thing is that Nige is not the son of Wulianghetai...

"Harichagai, you idiot killed me." Nigg said, "I just let Tumen Baoyin guard the camp because I couldn't trust you. Look at you, you lost all the horses."

Unconvinced, Harichagai spat and said, "I never thought that Song people would dare to bring those people into the camp."

"If only Tumen Baoyin could think of it."

The next moment, there was movement outside the tent, it was Tumen Baoyin who had returned.

Of the 200 people Nige had met, only 70 came back, and Gardi died, and his already gloomy face became even uglier.

After telling all about what happened, Tumen Baoyin said in a tearful voice, "Commander, send two men to ride me back to the Marshal's camp, my leg is useless."

"it is good."

Tumen Baoyin said again: "This Qingfu County is different from what we thought, we shouldn't attack the city anymore, go to other places to capture some prisoners, then take back the ships, report to Marshal Du..."

Suddenly, a machete rested on his neck.

He froze for a moment, raised his head, and saw Nigg's cold eyes.

"Commander?"

"I've lost too many horses, so I can't send any more horses to take you back." Nigg said, "You don't have legs, so I can't take you away either."

"Don't be like this... I... I can live... Please..."

"No, you are a centurion, you cannot fall into the hands of Song Jun."

As Nigger said, the scimitar in his hand cut.

Tumen Baoyin stared, his throat had been cut, and he died of breathlessness.

"Changshengtian, please bless your people."

Nige murmured and closed Tumen Baoyin's eyes.

"Harichagai, go and kill the seriously injured..."

Throughout the night, remnants of soldiers fled back from Baiyan Mountain from time to time.

The remnants of Tumen Baoyin and Gardi were combined into a centurion, and Nige also had four centurions of the Tanma Red Army and one hundred Dali servants.

But there are only more than [-] war horses.

He had to admit that he was in trouble.

There's nothing wrong with losing a battle.

For more than ten years, the Mongolian army has been losing battles in Sichuan and Shu, and it is good to retreat; in comparison, the Song Dynasty could not bear the losses caused by the long-term war.

But this is a grand strategy, and he is not qualified to say these things.

For him, successive setbacks in a small county will only make Marshal Du think he is incompetent.

But without the war horse, if it drags on, it will become exhausted, and everyone may be stuck here, not to mention that Marshal Du didn't give him too much time.

No prisoners, luggage, time, horses, and insufficient troops... After much deliberation, Nige decided to give up attacking Qingfu County.

He planned to forcibly cross the Fujiang River, join the reinforcements on the east bank of the Fujiang River, and then snatch the warships and go down the river.

The next day, when the sky was getting dark, the Mongolian army set up camp, bypassed Qingfu County to the south, and then turned east to Fujiang.

Most of them have become infantry, and walking in the early morning, they seem a little staggering for no reason.

They are really not used to this kind of marching speed.

Suddenly, someone raised his head and shouted: "Commander, there is smoke!"

~~
A streak of wolf smoke rises from the high mountains in the south.

Li Xia stood on the tower and looked at it for a while, then said: "The Mongolian army is about to cross the river."

Fang Yankai was more stable, and pondered: "Could it be the Mongolian army's trick to lure the enemy?"

"They have no horses, and we are no longer afraid of them luring the enemy."

Fang Yankai reminded again: "The riders who patrol the river are not good at riding, so they should not go out on horseback, otherwise they may be snatched back by the Mongolian army."

Li Xia nodded, "Yes", and said, "What the owner said makes sense."

He had already put on his armor and planned to go out to fight, but after thinking about it, he stopped and spread out the map.

"Let's take a closer look at the owner's book for the tactics this time."

Fang Yankai was stunned, stroked his beard and said, "That's fine."

"After I stole the Mongolian army's horses last night, I thought that the Mongolian army had three countermeasures, and they all made corresponding arrangements." Li Xia said, "One is to climb the mountains and go north to Syria; the other is to climb up the villages and snatch the horses; The third is to cross the Fu River to snatch ships... It seems that they chose the third method."

Fang Yankai said: "This means that Mongolian reinforcements are likely to come from the east."

"Yes, but not yet."

"It is likely that this Mongolian reinforcements met the Changning Army."

Li Xia said: "I set up a watchtower on Diaokouyan. If there are Mongolian troops coming from the east, there will be smoke. Let's talk about how to fight Fujiang first... The Mongolian army must use Dali's servants to build a pontoon bridge, and then the cavalry will pass first. , to investigate on the east bank of the Fujiang River."

"good."

"I asked Bao San and Jiang Fan to arrange the boats upstream, wait for the Mongolian army to build the pontoon bridge, and attack halfway across."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Fang Yankai shook his head and said, "The Mongolian army is likely to be on guard. If the pontoon bridge is built strong, the boat may be captured by them."

"That's right, that's the case. There are our cannon stones on Qinggang Ridge on the east bank. How about using the cannon stones to destroy the pontoon bridge first, and then let the boats go down the river to shoot at the enemy soldiers on both sides?"

"It's safer that way."

Fang Yankai mused, but couldn't offer any more insights into Li Xia's arrangement, and finally reminded him a few words.

"Has Feiyu read "The Art of War"?"

"No." Li Xia said, "I don't quite understand."

Fang Yankai said: "The beginning of Sun Tzu's Art of War is "planning". This "planning" does not refer to tactics, but to "calculation". If you are few in number, disperse them first; if it is difficult to win for a while, then wait patiently until they are tired and weak."

Li Xia said: "I understand the meaning of the owner's book. In today's battle, we still don't want to kill the Mongolian army in large numbers, but just divide them into two."

"exactly……"

Fang Yankai twirled his beard and watched Li Xia walk out with a look of thought in his eyes.

All along, I feel that Li Feiyu is proud, but she has a calm and humble side when she does things clearly...

~~
"Oh!"

The cannon stones fell from Qinggang Ridge in the east of Fujiang River, breaking the floating bridge of the Mongolian army; the boats rushed down from the upper reaches of Fujiang River, knocking the Mongolian soldiers and Dali soldiers on the floating bridge into the river.

The Song army's arrow rain and cannon stones attacked the Dali servants and quickly defeated the servants.

When Nige was ready to fight back, the Song army quickly retreated along Fujiang.

He looked at the two centurions on the west bank of the Fujiang River, who were too late to cross the river, and was momentarily stunned.

Casualties are still small.

In fact, since entering the Qingfu Realm, the Mongolian army suffered little casualties in every small battle.

But things seem to be getting worse...

"Order to let them return to Syria."

Cannons were still being fired on Qinggang Ridge, and there was not much time for Nige to think about it. He gave the order and quickly led his troops eastward.

Niger began to realize that he might be stuck here.

He led the Mongolian army of two centuries to Yikouyan, and another artillery stone fell.

Immediately afterwards, several screams sounded, and the horses had fallen into the ditch...

~~
Harichagai led two centurions to stay on the west bank of Fujiang River, looking a little dazed.

Today's battle was supposed to capture the ships of the Song people and go down the river.

Now you want to walk back to Syria?
They had lost their horses, food, and arrows.

Haricha Gai was quite calm, and instead of ordering to march south, he ordered to go to the mountains to the north.

You can build some bamboo rafts and go down the river.

After repelling the Song army with arrows, they traveled for more than ten miles and stationed at a place called Chestnut Bay.

They couldn't find any captives and lost their servants, so they had to ask Mengzu to build bamboo rafts himself.

Harichagai was very worried, worried that the Song army would attack the camp, but he could only let the soldiers work hard to build bamboo rafts.

That night, the Song army indeed attacked the camp.

One by one rockets came and burned the whole bamboo forest.

……

Liu Jinsuo stood outside the bamboo grove with his gun in hand, watching the Meng soldiers rushing out of the fire, and watching the soldiers under him rush forward and stab them with their spears.

"Are you still afraid of them?"

"Not afraid!"

Speaking of this, Liu Jinsuo recalled the morale-boosting words taught by Li Xia, but couldn't remember them in the end, so he looked at Luhu.

Hu Hu couldn't even speak Chinese clearly, so he pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Liu Jinsuo then shouted: "Look, 200 of us can defeat [-] Mongolian troops, and they are no big deal!"

"Yes! No big deal!"

……

The shouts spread into the bamboo forest in the sea of ​​fire.

Harichagai touched the quiver behind him and found that there were no more arrows.

He listened to the cheers of Song people outside, although he couldn't understand, he felt strongly offended.

"Hey, if there are horses and arrows, I'll kill you all."

Harichagai didn't rush out again, he didn't want to die in the hands of those cowardly Song soldiers.

So he closed his eyes and let the fire hit him...
