Dingguo

Chapter 503, Layout Platform Level 1

In the early autumn of the 18th year of Jingyuan, King Sejong issued an order to the entire army of Alu, pouring all the power of the whole country, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jinling!At the same time, Wan Yanchu, the five sons of King Sejong who had already arrived on the southern line, launched an attack on Jiang Jingyuan's army with 15 cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] infantry and [-] northern troops, and a total of [-] troops. 【】

Wherever Yan Chu's army goes, the former guards can't resist!It was only when he retreated to the platform pass that he managed to stabilize his position.

In the platform pass, Jiang Jingyuan's 20 troops guarded the pass going south.

Zhang Hejun on Jiangdong Road had already approached Huainan Road from the side after receiving Jiang Jingyuan's request for a joint battle.

A battle around the platform barrier is brewing.

The Jing people's vanguard cavalry has run out of momentum, and the platform pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Jing people have to enter a temporary repair and confront Jiang Jingyuan's army in front of the pass!

With an army of 20, Jiang Jingyuan did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he stood quietly at the pass, waiting for the momentum of the Beijing people to be exhausted.

On the Guanlou of the platform pass, there are densely dressed soldiers standing densely.These soldiers were all full of energy and full of air, and they didn't have the slightest bit of frustration from the defeat of the previous few days.

It fully shows that the shrinkage of the entire army in the first two days did not have much impact on the morale of the army.

After a dozen generals accompanied Jiang Jingyuan to inspect the Guanlou, they all looked outside the Guanlou.

Outside the city gate, there are camps of Jingren!

"Marshal, the people of Beijing have called for battle for two days! Are we still going to fight?"

Jiang Jingyuan is in his early forties, but his face looks like someone in his fifties, with deep and wide eyebrow wrinkles.He is a veteran of the army for many years. He has never left the army since he was 50 years old.Step by step to today, until now has this opportunity to show their talents.

The Jingren suddenly went south, and he has been paying attention to the Jingren's movements, not unaware of it.

However, the long border and the specific location of the Jing people going south are really difficult to detect.Moreover, the large army was fortified on the border, and the two armies were intertwined. They entered a desperate fight from the beginning, and the Feng army did not have the upper hand.There are 20 troops in the air, but it is difficult to defeat the cavalry of the Beijingers.

Therefore, once the war broke out, the arrangement of retreating to the platform gate was a strategy he had already decided.Prior to this, all kinds of supplies had already been secretly transported into the platform!The main force of the former guard army, including the army tent, has already moved to the platform pass.All the new troops are conducting emergency drills in the pass.Only a small part of the defenders were left on the border to confuse the sight of the Beijing army.

In his vision, if the people of Beijing really wanted to go south, the platform pass would be the main battlefield where the former guards would fight the people of Beijing.

There are three major benefits in the decisive battle on the platform!

First, no matter which direction the Beijingers rushed from Huainan Road, they had to pass through the platform pass.Holding the platform off is equivalent to cutting off the Jingren's way out, even if the Jingren don't want to fight a decisive battle on the platform.

With a well-prepared iron wall, fight against the scattered Beijing soldiers in the wild.Before the decisive battle started, Feng Jun had a great advantage.

Second, Platform Pass is only four days away from Jinling City, and all kinds of supplies will only come in a steady stream.In order to protect Jinling, the whole army will only use their lives together.Therefore, guarding the platform pass, the army's morale is firm, the supplies are sufficient, and the geographical advantage is fully occupied.

Third, luring the enemy into the seal, lengthened the enemy's supplies, digested the enemy's vigor, and created an opportunity for Zhang Hejun to rush in from the side.As long as the Jing people can't get off the platform within ten days, and Zhang Hejun rushes out from the side, or directly cuts off the Jing people's food supply, the [-] Jing people's army is just a plate of vegetables, and they will eat as many as they come. How many.

So Jiang Jingyuan just smiled and shook his head when he heard the general said that he wanted to take the initiative to attack!

Another partial general said: "You are stupid! We are sitting on the Xiongguan Pass, do we need to grind our teeth with the people of Beijing? The commander is forcing them to forcibly attack the pass. We have 20 troops in this pass, guarding the pass There are more people than researchers, and we can eat as many people as they come.”

"That can't make the people of Beijing arrogant! When I retreated, I lost more than 1000 horses, and I was gnashing my teeth to take revenge."

Because I don't know where the Jing people went south, there are still many soldiers on the front line to confuse the enemy!When the Beijingers rushed in, there were more than ten thousand people who had no time to retreat back into the pass!If it wasn't for the increase in troops this time, Jiang Jingyuan would not have dared to spend such a large amount of money if he had soldiers at his disposal.

"There is a time for you to kill the enemy." Jiang Jingyuan coldly looked at the Beijing camp outside the pass, then turned and walked to the commander's mansion under the pass.

A group of generals also hurriedly followed the commander and entered the commander's mansion.

There is a huge sand table in the Stone Hall of the Shuai Mansion, marking the general terrain around the platform.

As soon as Jiang Jingyuan entered the stone hall, he took off his helmet and handed it to the guards, pointing to the sand table and asking, "Where is Zhang Hejun now?"

The military general hurriedly pointed to a small flag and said, "We arrived in Qi Town yesterday!"

Jiang Jingyuan frowned and scolded: "I was in Heli the day before yesterday, and I just arrived in Qizhen yesterday. The distance between the two places is only fifty miles. It is not a mountain road, nor is there a waterway obstructing it, and the road is not muddy. Is he climbing?"

There was no sound in the entire military tent.

Zhang Hejun is not under the control of Jiang Jingyuan, and Jiang Jingyuan's anger is useless.

"If we go like this, it will take at least eight days before we can encircle outside the pass! If Zhang He misses my good deed, I will definitely skin him." Jiang Jingyuan drank a big mouthful of water and stood still beside the sand table.

A general said: "The platform pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Will Wan Yanchu divide his troops and pass by the side?"

Jiang Jingyuan glanced at the general, and did not refute, but just followed the general's tone and said: "Tell me."

"If Wanyan Chu wants to divide his troops, he must send out cavalry to go south. To the west of the platform pass, there are mountains and the Huai River. Not to mention the difficulty of cavalry, it will take a very long time. So it is impossible. Rather To the east of the platform pass, there is still a gap."

Another general said: "I'm afraid there is no gap in the east! The Huai River went from east to west, bypassing the platform, and completely blocked the people in Beijing. This was originally a natural line of defense. And the east is On Jiangdong Road, there is Zhang Hejun. Zhang Hejun is heading for Platform Pass right now, how can the Jing cavalry survive?"

"The Jing people also have a navy! Cavalry may not be unable to cross the Huai River. Don't forget, since the Jing people dare to attack our border, crossing the Huai River should be planned. If such a preparation is made, why should the Jing people come to attack ?”

"If the people of Beijing had prepared to fight across the Huai River early in the morning, they would not have entangled with our army at all. The border is so long, they would come in quietly, cross the Huai River directly, and pass between Zhang He's army and our army."

"Perhaps the people in Beijing didn't do this, but deliberately wanted to attract the attention of our army!"

"Use the whole army to attract the attention of our army?"
