I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1496 The Mongols launch a surprise attack, penetrating deep into Yuzhou

"Hulagu's plan is feasible! In this way, we can give full play to the advantages of our Mongol cavalry, take Fengzhou City at the lowest cost, and destroy Yuzhou's logistics and supply. Not only can we conquer Fengzhou City, but we can also lay the foundation for taking the entire Yuzhou City in the future."

Jochi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Hulagu was right to think things through! I was so focused on attacking the city that I forgot about the strengths of our Mongol cavalry. Let's do it your way!"

"We'll split our forces into several groups. One group will continue to besiege Fengzhou City, while the other will penetrate deep into the heart of Yuzhou to sabotage the grain supply routes!"

Tolui realized what was happening and immediately slapped his hand!
"Not only that, we can also contact the small tribes in Yuzhou that are oppressed by the Nightshade Army, offer them benefits, and get them to cooperate with our actions to jointly attack the Nightshade Army's supply lines and strongholds."

"The tribes on the grasslands have always respected the strong. As long as we can demonstrate sufficient strength and offer them some tangible benefits, they will surely be willing to join us. At that time, we will not only receive more assistance but also replenish our troops and supplies."

Si Hanfei said with a smile.

The four discussed the matter in detail and finalized a specific action plan.

Ladon led three thousand elite cavalrymen to set off first, bypassing Fengzhou City and heading straight for the eastern front of Yuzhou, destroying the grain route from Yulu City to Fengzhou City; after Typhon's army arrived, Hydra led another three thousand cavalrymen to the western front of Yuzhou, destroying the grain route from Yunzhou to Fengzhou City.

Sihanfei, Tuolei, and Jochi led their main forces to continue the siege of Fengzhou City, sending out cavalry to launch feigned attacks every day to distract the defending troops inside the city.

"Generals, I will lead the troops out immediately! I will live up to your expectations, destroy Yuzhou's supply lines as soon as possible, and make the greatest contribution to the capture of Fengzhou!"

Ladon stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three of them.

"General Ladon, take care on your journey! I wish you a resounding victory and swift success!"

"Tore said with a smile."

"This is my token. Take it. If you encounter any of our Mongol tribes or scattered cavalry, you can command them."

Si Hanfei handed La Dong a token.

Ladong accepted the token, solemnly put it away, clasped his hands in a fist salute again, and turned to walk out of the yurt.

"Brothers, follow me! Our target is the eastern front of Yuzhou. We'll sabotage the supply lines and plunder resources! It's time to prove ourselves!"

The wind and snow outside the tent were still heavy. La Dong mounted his horse and shouted at the three thousand elite cavalrymen who had already assembled.

"As ordered!"

Three thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the night sky and drowning out the howling of the wind and snow.

With a wave of his hand, Ladon led his cavalry, disappearing into the vast night like an arrow released from a bow.

Meanwhile, at Suoyang Pass, where Qianzhou and Yuzhou meet, the winter wind swirled withered grass and debris, lashing against the black flags of the military camp with a crisp, rustling sound.

The camps stretched for dozens of miles, their rammed earth walls whitened by frost and snow. The soldiers on the walls wore heavy black iron armor, their hands on their long swords, their eyes scanning the distant wilderness with vigilance.

This place is the throat of two states, connecting the Yuzhou grassland to the north and the hinterland of Qianzhou to the south. After the great victory at Yangwu Pass, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong led 20,000 Imperial Guards to garrison here, on the one hand to guard against the southward advance of Mongol cavalry, and on the other hand to receive the follow-up reinforcements from Qianzhou.

"This awful weather! It's so cold it hurts to the bone, and I can't even go out for a bit. I'm so bored I feel like I'm going to rot!" At this moment, Yuchi Gong was squatting by the fire pit outside the central command tent, holding a piece of freshly roasted mutton in his hand. Oil dripped down between his fingers as he tore into it, his cheeks bulging, and he complained indistinctly.

"Jingde, it's good that the border is stable. We're here to ensure that the people of Qianzhou in the rear can have a peaceful New Year. What's the rush?"

Qin Qiong, standing beside him, was dressed in silver armor with a tiger-headed golden spear at his waist. He was wiping the snow off his helmet plume and simply smiled faintly when he heard this.

Qin Qiong was calm and composed, always prioritizing the overall situation, which contrasted sharply with Yuchi Gong's boldness and impetuosity. The two had been partners for many years and had developed a perfect understanding.

Most of the soldiers in the camp were outside their tents, some wiping their weapons, some polishing their armor, and others warming themselves around the fire pit, chatting and laughing in hushed tones. Although they were on the border, they were very orderly. As the elite force under Su Ye's command, the Imperial Guards were the most disciplined in the world.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar. Three fast horses broke through the wind and snow and galloped toward the central command tent. Leading them was a messenger dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, with a red "urgent" flag on his back. The horses' hooves kicked up snowflakes as they trod on the frozen ground.

"Hmm? Such a hurried messenger! It seems the lord has given new orders!"

Yuchi Gong's eyes lit up. He threw away the lamb bone in his hand, patted the grease off his hands, and stood up.

Qin Qiong, who was at the head of the table, also put away his smile and went to greet him.

"General Qin, General Yuchi, the lord has ordered you two to immediately muster your troops and march north to support Fengzhou City in Yuzhou!"

The messenger dismounted before the tent, not even bothering to catch his breath, and pulled a sealed transfer order from his bosom, handing it over with both hands.

Qin Qiong received the transfer order, broke the wax seal, and stepped forward with Yuchi Gong.

The handwriting on the order was strong and vigorous, and it was Su Ye's own handwriting. The general content was that Temujin of Mongolia had sent Typhon to lead a large army south to besiege Fengzhou City. Zhao Kuangyin was holding firm and waiting for reinforcements. He ordered Qin Qiong to lead 10,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard to rush to the rescue, while Yuchi Gong would lead the remaining troops to follow. They were determined to defend Fengzhou City and contain the Mongol army.

"Typhon? That Mongol's strongest general, the ultimate war god of qi?"

Yuchi Gong raised an eyebrow, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Great! Finally, a tough battle is about to begin!"

Qin Qiong frowned. He had long heard of Typhon's reputation. He and Wang Xiangyang were both at the pinnacle of Gang Qi, the highest level of Gang Qi on the Tianwu Continent. Now, Zhao Kuangyin's forces were already insufficient. Facing such an opponent, Fengzhou City's situation was likely to be extremely difficult.

"My lord also said that he will send a general with you this time as an elite vanguard to guard against a surprise attack by Typhon."

The messenger added, stepping aside to make way for the person behind him.

It was only then that Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong noticed that there was a silent figure following behind the messenger.

The man stood in the wind and snow, his figure tall and straight, like a strong pine tree. Even from a distance, one could feel his imposing aura, an innate pressure that seemed to freeze the surrounding wind and snow.

He was dressed in a black dragon scale armor, with layers upon layers of armor plates covering his entire body like dragon scales. A round piece of black jade was inlaid on his chest, on which was carved a lifelike Yinglong soaring into the sky.

A golden jade belt was tied around his waist, with a dragon head buckle and flowing whiskers. He wore a black battle helmet with a white feather standing upright on the top. Dragon-shaped ear guards on both sides covered part of his face, revealing only a pair of deep, cold eyes.

Most striking was the long spear he held in his hand, about eighteen feet long. The shaft was made of an unknown black wood, and a ferocious dragon head was carved below the spear tip. The dragon's whiskers were outstretched, and its mouth was wide open, as if it were about to swallow the wind and clouds. The spear tail was a circular dragon tail counterweight, which was also engraved with fine patterns. It was Yinglong's exclusive weapon - "Overturning the Sea and Supporting the Sky Dragon Spear".
