Chapter 241

Not far in front of Wulianghetai, on a hill called "Lishan", Li Xia's men were ambushing.

"Why isn't the Changning army coming?" Fang Yankai murmured while looking south.

He finally had some confidence in stopping Wuliang Hetai.

At first, I felt that it was impossible to drag down the cavalry with infantry.But now the cavalry's horses can't run for the time being, as long as the Changning army can rush to besiege, it may not be impossible to really intercept and kill Wulianghetai.

"How long can it last?" Li Xia asked.

"Four or five hours... It's hard to say, people are good at raising horses, so maybe there is a way to make the horses recover faster." Fang Yankai said.

He felt that Li Xia wasn't completely crazy, at least he didn't rush to attack [-] Mengqi with [-] recruits.

"The landlord thinks, where is Ashu at this time?"

"As long as it's not nearby." Fang Yankai was stunned at this point, and asked, "What do Feiyu think?"

"I'm afraid he's just south of us."

Fang Yankai said: "If that's the case, I'm afraid the success will fall short..."

"County Lieutenant, Yu Bing is back..."

~~
Yu Bing climbed up the mountain, still panting with difficulty.

Li Xia watched this scene silently, then turned his head and glanced in the direction of Anning County in the south, only to see that the road was empty.

Fang Yankai had already gone up to meet Yu Bing, and asked, "Where's the Changning Army? Did you send anyone?"

"Anning County is besieged by the Mongolian army."

"What?" Fang Yankai was surprised.

"The Mongolian army has five thousand horsemen, and they have surrounded the city, and the villain can't get in." Yu Bing panted heavily, and said again: "The villain has inquired about it, and the Changning army has only a thousand garrisons and the township guarding the city bravely. Commander Yi rushes to help." Jiang'an is gone. I'm afraid we won't be able to send anyone to help."

Fang Yankai sighed dejectedly.

"Ashu arrived in Anning County?"

In today's situation, Shi Jun and Zhang Shi will be reorganizing the captured navy; Yi Shiying will also receive news to return to aid.The main force of the Song Army will be able to arrive within two or three days.

As far as A Shu is concerned, he must retreat south within two or three days.

However, the distance between Ashu and Wulianghetai, the father and son, is only thirty miles, and within thirty miles, there are only 500 people like Li Xia.

Not to mention whether 500 people can win against 800 people, once Ashu gets the news, or Wulianghetai's horses recover, these 500 people are still in danger of being wiped out.

……

"Feiyu, don't go crazy, be rational," Fang Yankai reminded in a low voice.

Li Xia frowned, as if in deep thought.

He doesn't think he's crazy, and has always followed the principle of "win first, then fight". While harassing Wuliang Hetai, he created conditions for the Changning Army and the Syrian Army to catch up and encircle him.

But on the battlefield, it is impossible to achieve the most ideal combat environment every time.

Ah Shu is not weak, and has rushed to meet Wu Liang Hetai in the fastest time

Suddenly, someone shouted: "County captain! Youmeng is riding over!"

Li Xia turned his head and looked north, only to see nearly a hundred Mongolian troops galloping towards this side.

"They are going to ask Ashu for help." Fang Yankai said, "Wu Lianghetai also guessed that Ashu is ahead."

"Yes, they have a tacit understanding."

"No chance, forget it."

Bao San asked: "Why don't we annihilate the Mongolian army of hundreds of riders and not let them pass the news?"

"This is cavalry, how can we wipe it all out? Run out one. Ashu will send troops to come, can we 500 people defeat Wuliang Hetai within an hour or two?"

"County lieutenant, do you want to do it?"

Li Xia said, "Let them go."

Fang Yankai breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful... Fortunately, Li Feiyu was not impulsive, and it was a pity that after two days of chasing him, he finally failed.

"It's a blessing to be able to defeat the navy, but it's still impossible to kill the general... You and I should go back and ask Zhizhou for forgiveness."

Li Xia narrowed his eyes, watching the hundreds of Mongolian troops galloping past at the foot of the mountain, and said, "Let's go..."

"Let's go." Fang Yankai nodded.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the second half of Li Xia's sentence.

"Let's go, let's kill Wuliang Hetai."

~~
"Marshal Du, Song Jun has come to kill him."

Wu Liang Hetai looked very calm.

He had already counted the number of people, and after sending out the people who asked for help and searched for herbs, he had only 670 people with him.

Most of the war horses have collapsed, and only 35 horses can stand up and run.

Since his expedition to Dali, the Mongolian soldiers under his command have been suffering casualties, but they have not received much replenishment.There are only twelve teams of the Red Army to explore the horses left in this expedition to Shu.

This time he was defeated by Shi Jun, and lost half again.

Until now, he was finally caught in this dangerous situation.

There are two choices at this time, either to flee with more than [-] cavalry, or to fight.

He didn't hesitate.

"Fight!"

~~
"Hold up your shield, be careful of Mongolian arrows!"

"Archer ready!"

In the midst of shouting orders, five hundred river patrolmen lined up and rushed towards Wulianghetai's formation.

Although Fang Yankai was a civil servant, he still ran in the formation with a knife in his hand.

It's not that he didn't dissuade Li Xia, but he couldn't persuade...

"Think about it, you five hundred recruits, how can you fight against the hundred-war veterans of Wuliang?!"

"I think clearly and think we can win."

"Huh? Can you win?"

"Yes. The Mongolian army was newly defeated. They fled in a hurry, their horses fell to the ground, and their morale was low. But we took advantage of the victory to pursue and rested here in advance, and our morale was high;
The Mongolian army was alone and deep, and they didn't know that Ashu was ahead. If they couldn't fight for a long time, they would think of retreating.We are all locals, we want to defend our country;
We were condescending, first looked at their formation layout, and knew ourselves and the enemy; while the Mongolian army stopped hastily in the middle of the road, not knowing whether our side was true or false, and felt timid..."

"No, no matter how you look at it, it's too risky. Let me tell you, even Shi Zhizhou never thought of beheading Wuliang Hetai."

"Housekeeper, you taught me the art of war. But not every time you can take advantage of it like in the art of war. You won't encounter Wu Lianghetai again and lose your mount, fighting with us on foot with only 700 people... …there is only one chance, and it is fleeting.”

"But what if we lose?"

"How can you always win a war? The Mongolian army also wins and loses, but if you let him go this time, and he leads troops to fight again next time, what price will he have to pay to create an opportunity like today?"

"Feiyu, you can't convince me..."

"Then you shut up. The decisions I made were not perfect, and I never made perfect choices. There are many dilemmas in the world, and there is always a choice."

Fang Yankai didn't try to persuade him anymore, when Li Xia really decided to fight, what he did was no longer to dissuade, but started to fight.

At least one thing Li Xia said was right, he was defending his home and country...

~~
"Fire arrows!"

Arrows rained down from both sides.

"Kill the past!"

The soldiers started to run.

Ma Youer held the spear and looked at the Mongolian army in front of him, feeling a little scared and a little excited.

He has never been to Wuchidao, but only heard from those old people who have been to Wuchidao that "the Mongolian army's infantry is just like that". The Mongolian army was defeated.

Coupled with the great victory in the Yangtze River Water Battle this time, Ma Youer felt that he was winning all the time, and his mind was full of rewards if he won the battle.

In fact, Ma Youer has never faced the Mongolian army at close range, and he is not very good at fighting.

But his chief Hong Aliu once said, "War is not about fighting. Fighting is about charging when you are told, and when you are told to thrust your spear out, you just need to be obedient. It's very simple..."

"It's very simple." Ma Youer thought to himself, striding forward.

Arrows fell on the shield above his head like rain.

"First row, stab!"

Suddenly he yelled, Ma Youer trembled, but it was not his turn to stab, he could only see the comrade in front of him when he looked.

There was a sudden scream, and he panicked.

The next moment, he suddenly thought that behind him was Anning County, his mother's home, and his grandfather still lived there...

~~
Outside Anning County.

Ashu had heard the sound of horseshoes, and said, "It's Abu who has come to join us."

"Marshal Du is here?"

Someone watched from a distance, and after a while, shouted with great joy: "It's Hai Rigu! It's true that Marshal Du is here!"

After a while, Hai Rigu rushed to the front of the Mongolian army, and suddenly there was another neigh, and the front hoof of the horse he stepped on gave way and fell down.

Ziyou Mengqi stepped forward to catch him and brought him to Ashu.

"What's going on? Where's Abu?"

"It's just thirty miles to the north." Hai Ri Gu said: "The horses ate the forage with crotons and all diarrhea."

"Damn it, Song Jun wants to ambush him." Ashu pulled the reins and shouted, "Si Re, you continue to attack the city! Meng Gen, take your thousand-man team to meet Abu with me..."

Meng Qi moved extremely fast, and in a short while, the two thousand-man teams were pulled out of the battlefield, turned their horses and ran northward.

"Drive! Let's see which Song people dare to chase, we will kill them all!"

"Kill, kill them all..."
