The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 492 Night Attack on Pingxing Ridge

Zhao Gou received the battle report from Yue Fei that the army had arrived at Pingxingling.

Suddenly, Zhao Gou fell into memory, because this Pingxing Ridge is the "Pingxing Pass" of later generations.There is Mount Heng in the north of Pingxing Ridge, and Mount Wutai in the south, and Pingxing Ridge is where a narrow graben-like depression is located between the two mountains.

It can be said that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no retreat, and the only way to attack is to face it head-on.

Yue Fei also took the idea of ​​finding out the surrounding environment before making plans, and the spies he sent reported: "General, except for the mountains and mountains, the altitude here is very high. It is impossible to detour. There is only this road. Unless it is entering from Guangling County and attacking from the rear; or it is attacking from the side from Feihu County, but General Liu is confronting the Liao army, and he is at a loss."

"Is there really no other way?" Yue Fei said in a deep voice.

The man nodded affirmatively, and replied: "There is no other way!"

Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "General, why don't we contact General Liu and discuss the battle plan with him!"

Yue Fei said: "That's fine too!"

Therefore, Yue Fei wrote to Liu Guangshi to discuss the plan with him.Because of the previous battle plan, it didn't work here.Although there is a strategic topographic map, it is difficult to figure out an inch of land.Then, he negotiated again with Liu Guangshi, but Han Shizhong was still on the road and had not yet arrived at his destination.

As a result of the discussion between the two of them, Yue Fei sent troops to help Liu Guangshi capture Feihu County, and after Liu Guangshi captured it, he immediately sent troops to support and attack from the side.Because of this, Liu Guangshi immediately sent troops to Pingxingling without Zhao Gou's consent.

After Zhao Gou read the battle report, he was very happy. The cooperation between Liu Guangshi and Yue Fei was also a big improvement.As for Liu Guangshi not rectifying Feihu County, Zhao Gou did not blame him.Because this is not a big deal in the first place, as long as he wants to, he can immediately send a large army to take over, and it is also to better prevent the Liao army from attacking back.

"General, General Liu sent someone to say that the army is planning to march here!"

Yue Fei was overjoyed and said: "Since this is the case, then Feihu County has already been captured, and Pingxingling will be next."

The terrain of Pingxing Ridge is indeed somewhat different from other places. It is really surrounded by mountains and cannot see other places.Moreover, Pingxing Ridge is at the commanding height of the mountain depression, that is to say, everything around can be observed through Pingxing Ridge.

If you advance rashly, there is no wide road ahead, only narrow roads.If a big war really broke out, it would be difficult for the Song army to display its own strength, let alone the problem of heavy deaths.Therefore, Yue Fei has been thinking about how to attack.

Now that Liu Guangshi led the army to come day and night, he knew that the time was ripe.After several days of exploration, Yue Fei finally knew that there were 2000 troops here, and his own had more than [-] troops.If it is forced to break in, there will be countless casualties, and the corpses will pile up into mountains.

Yue Fei thought about it, but still felt that he couldn't face it head-on.If they found traces of themselves and others, it would be even more difficult to attack.For a few days, Yue Fei was so preoccupied that he couldn't fall asleep. All he could think about was how to capture Pingxingling.

"If it can fly, it will be much easier!" Yue Fei looked at the sound of birds from the mountain peaks, and saw the birds flying around. He thought that if he attacked, he would definitely suffer severe punishment from the front. The blow, if it flies from the sky, it will be different.

Yue Fei suddenly remembered a tactic mentioned in that military book, which was the 'flying technique'.As long as you use wooden poles, canvas, and ropes, you can glide.However, Yue Fei had never tried this tactic.Because, there are many things to consider in this situation, not only the flying parts are solid, but also the weather cooperation. Only when the wind blows can you fly farther, and you also need good control. It can be said that this tactic is not much at all. practical effect.

Now that the agreed time is getting closer, Yue Fei is getting impatient.

If the enemy is unprepared, go for a sneak attack, this is the best way.However, it is not that simple to fly over.Now that there is no way to retreat, Yue Fei can only take a risk. He ordered people to follow the production method recorded in the book, and finally completed a glider.

It was also said in the military book that this was originally the principle of using the kite to borrow the wind.This method was originally a punishment, that is, to tie a prisoner or a slave to it and jump off the cliff directly, and the final roar of the tied person can be clearly heard.

Yue Fei ordered people to make the umbrella wings, and the lower poles and fan bones are all wooden poles.Since there are no bamboo poles here, all wooden poles are used, and light wooden poles are specially selected.In fact, it only takes an hour to make such a glider, and it doesn't have to be too complicated.

After the glider was finished, Yue Fei tried it himself, but the quality was not good enough, almost costing Yue Fei several times, but he still insisted on urging it to be finished.Finally, the emperor paid off, and Yue Fei finally made a simple glider, and the flying distance was only about [-] meters.However, these were enough, and he immediately ordered people to hurry up and make them.

After that, another 200 people were selected from the army, and they started to study with Yue Fei.Because they all have some basic knowledge of martial arts, they learn quickly.Then, Yue Fei ordered them to become the vanguard force to attack Pingxingling, led by him personally, while Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others approached quietly.

Yue Fei sent someone to deliver a message, telling Yu Liu Guangshi to continue to harass the border, and it is best to arrive here tomorrow.Because, he was preparing the army to set out to attack Pingxingling.

That night, Yue Fei led 200 people. They took off their heavy military uniforms and set off with light clothes. Taking advantage of the windy night here, they ordered people to detour to the south of Pingxing, which is Mount Wutai.However, they didn't go to Wutai Mountain, they only ordered people to start attacking after they formed a condescending situation at halfway up.

At this moment, most of the Liao army has rested.Although they were ordered to guard this place to the death, they squatted on guard for several nights, but they still disappeared.Just at this moment, the city guards saw a bird-like object flying overhead and didn't pay any attention.

Until more and more people come flying, their direction is Pingxing Ridge.At this time, someone realized that something was wrong, and wanted to call someone, but it was already too late.Because Yue Fei and others have led a vanguard force to attack Pingxingling in an all-round way.

"The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming! The enemy..." Before he could finish his words, he was killed by Yue Fei with a sword, and his action was a great battle in Pingxingling.Again, this battle was inevitable, so they had to work hard to kill them all.

In addition, when Yue Fei was attacking Pingxingling, Yue Fei sent out another firework, that is to say, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others led the army to attack.Yue Fei and the [-] soldiers resisted the Liao army's attack time and time again, and Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others also attacked, because they were lying in ambush at the foot of Pingxingling, and they would immediately attack when they received the signal. He rushed up, wanting to capture Pingxing Ridge in one fell swoop.
