Chapter 240 Disturbing the Enemy
After dawn, Wu Liang joined forces with Taiwan to find the way to the south.

There are many mountains in this place, and the road is not easy to walk. Wu Lianghetai found a road along the mountain and walked to a land called "Lei Da Shi" in the evening.

Suddenly, there were several "booms", and a thunderous sound exploded.

"Beautiful!"

Several war horses were frightened and raised their front hoofs violently.

"I stepped on a thornbush! There is an ambush!"

At the same time, there were several horse neighs, and a Mongolian soldier fell into the horse ditch in front of him.

The rain of arrows came from the mountains and forests on both sides, and some soldiers fell to the ground.

"go!"

Wuliang Hetai could understand Chinese and heard the shouts in the mountains and forests.

"The Changning army is under the jurisdiction of Yi Shiying here, and you are surrounded, so surrender quickly!"

This sounds silly, but in his opinion, there is a sense of self-righteousness of Song Dynasty civil servants.

Surrender was of course impossible, but he was still secretly frightened.

Because it was a new defeat, the morale of the soldiers under his command was not high, and he didn't know that the enemy was outnumbered, so he didn't dare to fight hard, so he decisively led his troops back.

After retreating to an open place, Wu Liang Hetai felt a little relieved, but at the same time felt strange.

Xuzhou has been besieged for so long, and it is obviously impossible for the Changning army to contact Shi Jun, let alone expect to retreat from here, how could they set up an ambush in advance?

This matter was difficult to figure out for a while, so Wu Liang Hetai had to send scouts to immediately observe the terrain and the enemy's situation from a high place, looking for opportunities to break through...

~~
It is true that no Changning army came, it was Li Xia who faked his momentum with 500 people and temporarily blocked Wulianghetai in the ravine.

But it won't last long, let alone defeat the opponent.

Seeing that Meng Qi had adjusted, Fang Yankai was quite worried, and said: "I told you that even if he catches up with Wuliang Hetai, he is no match for him, now it is advisable to send someone to ask Shi Zhizhou for reinforcements."

"It's time to ask for help, but not to Shi Zhizhou. He has few soldiers. We should ask for help from the Changning Army." Li Xia said.

Fang Yankai murmured, "I'm afraid it's too late, it won't be until then."

"I have learned a lot about the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that the house owner told me recently. 'So if you can, you can show that you can't; if you can use it, you can show that you can't use it;

Fang Yankai shook his head and said: "I understand Feiyu's thinking, it's nothing more than being strong and avoiding it, anger and scratching it, and losing it and working hard, but he is a cavalry and you are an infantry. How can infantry drag down the cavalry? ?”

"Unless...you can predict where Wuliang Hetai is going."

"what for?"

Li Xia said: "What if we can block in front of Wuliang Hetai every time?"

"This... how to calculate?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Xia asked, "Where will he go back to Dali?"

"There are many mountains in southern Sichuan, and the safest road is often along the river."

"How many rivers are there?"

"The Jinsha River, the Guan River, and the Fu River are all near Xuzhou, and the Mongolian army dare not go any further." Fang Yankai mused, "Then follow the Changning River to the territory of the Yixi Department, and then return to Dali?"

Li Xia nodded and said, "I think so too."

Fang Yankai murmured, and said: "We managed to stop him for a day tonight, but tomorrow he will come to visit the camp, knowing that we are not strong enough."

"Then simply withdraw." Li Xia said: "Only a few people are left to bluff again, and we rush to Changning River overnight to set up another ambush."

Fang Yankai sighed and said, "The soldiers are too tired."

"It's better to be tired than to be dead."

Li Xia said this, and began to order: "Song He, you bring 20 people, light as many bonfires as possible, and make it look like 3000 people are stationed here."

"Yes."

"Yu Bing, take someone to report to the Changning Army, and ask them to lead troops to stop it."

"Yes."

"Xiong Shan, you lead people to go first, let Ma Youer lead the way, let the villagers along the way disperse into the mountains, and then go to Guhe Town to ask for some dry food."

"Yes……"

~~
At night, a Mengzu climbed up a high mountain, and when he looked over, he saw a little bit of fire in the forest in front of him.

He shook his head in frustration, and went down the mountain to report to Wuliang Hetai: "Marshal Du, the Song Army probably has 3000 people."

"Fart!" Wu Liang yelled on the stage, "Shi Jun only has 3000 people in total, and the Changning Army doesn't even have that many people!"

Hai Ri said: "That's... Shi Jun joined forces with the Changning Army?"

Wu Liang was silent on the table, finally willing to start thinking, and finally said: "It is very likely that a small number of people are raising suspicious soldiers."

"Then we rush over?"

"I'm afraid there is an ambush. Send people to scout the road at night, and take another road tomorrow..."

The next day, Wulianghetai walked eastward for a while, and finally came out of the mountains surrounded by the Yangtze River.

He resolutely headed towards the Changning River.

The Changning River also flows into the Yangtze River from south to north, originating in Guilai Prefecture.

Guilai Prefecture is the state of Jumi, where the Bo people live together and where the Sichuan and Yunnan borders.Song Ting set up the Changning Army in the north of Huilai Prefecture, not so much to fight against Mongolia, but to prevent the chaos of the Bo people... This was the case before the first battle of Wulianghetai to attack Shu.

After this battle, the situation will definitely change in the future.

Therefore, Wu Lianghetai felt that his own victory is also a victory, and his defeat is also a victory.

He wasn't worried about passing through Anning County, the Changning army station, he was sure that A Shu would be waiting for him there.

Marching like the wind, they reached Guhe Town on the west bank of the Changning River before noon.

Looking from a distance, I saw a group of people crossing a wooden bridge.

"Come up!"

More than [-] riders chased them out first, and the scared people fled quickly.

Several Mongolian soldiers rode up to the wooden bridge, and suddenly heard a loud "boom", the wooden bridge was blown off, and they were blown into the river.

But many fireballs of porcelain caltrops were tied to the bridge, dragging a long lead wire and being ignited by a Song army wearing leather armor.

Wu Liang Hetai was a little annoyed by such small fights.

He didn't need to cross the river, and he didn't order the pursuit. He sent scouts into Guhe Town to find out if there was anything wrong, and then led the troops in to rest.

He is a person who has experienced battles, and he will not lie in ambush in this kind of terrain. After looting, he will continue to lead his army to rush.

After running for seven or eight miles, a horse neighed suddenly, and a horse's hoof gave way and fell to the ground.

A Mongolian pawn fell to the ground and got up again, only to see his horse lying there wearily.

"What's wrong?!"

"Mara's belly..."

Soon, many more horses had the same reaction.

"Marshal Du, there are too many stomachs."

Wu Liang looked around and saw that almost all the horses were suffering from diarrhea, but the severity may vary.

He soon understood what was going on.

"Song people are despicable! They mixed croton powder with the forage."

It is not enough for war horses to only eat grass. They also need to eat salt and concentrated feed to grow fat, and they also need wheat bran and beans as forage.Besides, it is December now, there is no grass, and we need to eat stored hay.

However, there was a post house in Guhe Town, and some fodder was prepared in the stable, which must have been provided for the Changning Army when they marched.

Naturally they robbed it.

Whether there is poisoning in the well water, whether there is an ambush in the town, Wu Lianghetai is on guard, but he did not expect that the Song army only attacked the horses.

Wu Lianghetai was completely sure of what kind of villain was harassing him like making a fuss around him.If the Song army really had 3000 people, there would be no need to harass the defeated army like this.

"Despicable, villain. Your four ships, with a maximum of five hundred pawns, want to hold me back and prevent me from joining Ashu? Waste."

Although he has not met Li Xia yet, he can deduce Li Xia's strength and route, and from this he can deduce his purpose...

"Hai Rigu, choose a hundred horses that can still run, you first take someone to Anning County to tell A Shu, send someone to meet me."

"Yes."

"Be careful on the road, don't be ambushed by Song Jun."

Hai Rigu agreed, yelled, ordered his men and horses, and left.

Wu Lianghetai sent someone to look for herbs for treating horses. A little croton would not bother him, but it would take time.

And the reason why he didn't ride away by himself was because he wasn't sure that A Shu would be in Anning County, and he wasn't sure if there was an ambush ahead...
