Chapter 570 Crazy Battle Plan

The banner of the Chici tribe is located at the west exit of the Menghe Mountain. The exit of the Menghe Mountain is like a huge trumpet, which becomes wider and wider as it goes outward until it ends at the mountains on both sides, and then it becomes a flat grassland.

At the exit of the mountain, there is a river flowing down from the mountains. This river gathers spring water and snow water from more than a dozen surrounding mountains. Every summer, the water volume will surge to form a lake five or six miles wide.

The lake blocks the mountain pass, and the banner of the Chici tribe is outside the lake.

The Chici tribe is different from the Ula clan. The Ula clan is a typical nomadic tribe. They only know how to graze and not to farm. The Chici tribe is indeed a half-farming and half-pastoral tribe. They have reclaimed a large amount of farmland around rivers and lakes and have been farming here for hundreds of years.

Their pastures are also divided into more than a dozen large and small ones. They are even very good at hunting. Many small tribes will hunt in the Menghe Mountain.

In addition to farming, the Chici tribe also has a city, Menghe City, which is their banner.

There are many shops and merchants in the city. Except for the customs and dress, there is not much difference from the city of Darong.

The merchants in Menghe City mainly come from Beiyuan Town and the snowy land, and some are merchants from the Wuliang Royal Court.

Darong did not open a trade market in the border town, nor did it allow merchants to sell goods to foreigners, especially the Wuliang Royal Court, which was strictly prohibited.

However, merchants have always been profit-driven. Back then, Ji Feiyu was engaged in smuggling in the west road of Chongshan Town, and the Wula tribe and the Chici tribe were his trading partners.

Now many border troops in Beiyuan Town are also doing business with the Wula tribe and the Chici tribe, and the scale of the business is even much larger than Ji Feiyu's smuggling trade back then.

The Menghe City of the Chici tribe is actually the commercial center in the east of the Wuliang Royal Court. Here you can not only find silk, porcelain, tea, etc. from Darong, but also herbs, furs, gems, etc. from the snowy land.

However, there has been a quiet atmosphere in Menghe City recently. Due to the war between the Wuliang Royal Court and Beiyuan Town, the merchants of Beiyuan Town could not come to Menghe City, which caused a heavy blow to the commercial trade in Menghe City.

In this regard, people in Menghe City were somewhat dissatisfied. The tribesmen of the Chici tribe did not care about Wutuo's great talent and strategy. They only wanted the goods from Dayong and used the goods of Dayong to make money.

The war between the Wuliang Royal Court and Beiyuan Town has affected the high-level people of the Chici tribe to make money.

Of course, their complaints only exist in their hearts, and they dare not disobey Wutuo's orders.

At this time, the Chici tribe was actively preparing for war. They dispatched a large number of young and strong men to guard the passes and forts in the Menghe Mountain Que, and at the same time they were training elite troops.

Even Tang Wuxi, the vassal king of the Chici tribe, had already set up a general's mansion at the westernmost pass of the Menghe Mountain Que.

At this time, Tang Wuxi was standing on the wall of the pass, looking into the depths of the Menghe Mountain Que.

The entire Menghe Mountain Pass is more than a hundred miles long, and there are three passes within this hundred miles, namely Dongque Pass, Zhongque Pass, and Xique Pass.

There are a large number of forts built on the mountains on both sides of the pass.

There are also small tribes of the Chici tribe living between the passes. These small tribes either farm or hunt. Although they live in poverty, they provide a lot of supplies for the soldiers in the pass.

"Your Majesty, we just received news that Chongshan Town is mobilizing troops on a large scale. It is expected that they will attack us within a month!"

A subordinate came from Tang Wuxi's side and reported.

Tang Wuxi asked calmly, "Do you know how many troops Chongshan Town has mobilized?"

The subordinate replied, "I'm not very clear, I just know that Chongshan Town has many troops gathering in our east!"

Tang Wuxi fell silent. Compared with the Ula tribe, the Chici tribe did not fear Chongshan Town, even though Yang Zhengshan burned 100,000 troops in the canyon inside Guanshankou, and more than 10,000 Hu cavalry among the 100,000 troops were young and strong men from their Chici tribe.

That defeat caused the Chici tribe to lose a lot of strength, but it did not make them feel afraid, because in his eyes it was a victory achieved by Yang Zhengshan with conspiracy and trickery.

After a long silence, Tang Wuxi suddenly said, "Send an order, order Baduer to lead the Jiawei to Dongque Pass to prepare for battle, and I will go to Dongque Pass in two days!"

"Yes!" The subordinate responded and retreated quickly.

Tang Wuxi was still very confident in blocking the Chongshan Town army outside the Menghe Mountain Pass.

Given the strategic location of the Menghe Mountain Pass, even if the soldiers of Chongshan Town were all warriors, he was confident that he could stop them.

This was not blind self-confidence, but the arrogance that grew out of his understanding of the Menghe Mountain Pass.

…

Dinghuwei, in the General's Office.

Yang Zhengshan sat in the main seat of the lobby, and the generals of Chongshan Town stood in the lobby.

Looking at the familiar faces, Yang Zhengshan smiled with ease, "After several years, I didn't expect that we can fight side by side again so soon!"

"It's been a few years since we last met, and the Marquis is still as elegant as ever!" Xie Yuan laughed.

Niu Zhuang also laughed, "Compared with the Marquis, we seem a lot older, haha~~"

Everyone laughed.

Among the eight generals, the oldest are Xie Yuan and Tang Feihu, who are older than Yang Zhengshan and are now over 60 years old.

Zhang Chengzhi, Niu Zhuang, and Qin He are slightly younger, just in their early 50s.

Zhang Mingwu and Luo Feiyu are even younger. Zhang Mingwu is only in his forties, while Luo Feiyu is not even forty yet.

Just from their appearance, Xie Yuan and Tang Feihu have gray hair, showing an air of old age. Zhang Chengzhi, Niu Zhuang and Qin He also have gray hair.

Yang Zhengshan looks younger than them.

After everyone laughed for a while, Yang Zhengshan's face became serious and he said, "Then let's talk about the expedition plan."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and everyone looked at Yang Zhengshan seriously.

Yang Zhengshan stood up and took out the map that had been prepared long ago. The map was hung on the screen. Yang Zhengshan pointed at the map with a thin stick and said, "The first battle, destroy the Ula tribe!"

"Tomorrow morning, the left and right battalions of the town will serve as the vanguard, all the way north, bypass the north of Sarij Lake, and attack the Ula tribe directly!"

"I have only one request, that is to be fast! Before the Ula tribe has reacted, directly attack the Ula clan's flag land!"

"One person and two horses, day and night, two days later, we will launch an attack on the Ula clan's flag land!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Chengze and Yang Chengxu.

The left and right battalions of the town are all cavalry, which is most suitable for launching surprise attacks. The Ula clan's banner does not have a strong city, so there is no problem with the cavalry attacking directly.

As for whether the Ula clan will be prepared, they will definitely be prepared, but Yang Zhengshan estimates that they will focus their defense on the south of the banner, because from Dinghuwei to the Ula clan's banner, the south of Sari Lake is the closest and the easiest to go.

Even if the Ula clan has defenses in the north of the banner, there is no need to be afraid, as long as it is not a strong city, it will not be able to stop the left and right battalions of the town.

If the left and right battalions of the town can't even take the Ula clan's banner, then Yang Zhengshan thinks there is no need to fight this battle, and they should honestly guard Chongshan Town to avoid losing soldiers and generals.

"I accept your orders!" Yang Mingzhen and Yang Chengze immediately stepped out to accept the orders.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and continued: "The reinforcement battalion of Dinghu Guard is stationed in Dinghu Guard to prevent the cavalry of Wuliang Hu tribe from attacking our grain road."

"The reinforcement battalion of Daning Guard assists Dinghu Guard in guarding the grain road, and at the same time, it must guard against the invasion of the Wuliang army from the west. Although the Wuliang army and Beiyuan Town are fighting fiercely now, the Wuliang Hu tribe may still send a detachment to attack the west road of our Chongshan Town!"

The west road of Chongshan Town is full of mountains and forests, and many places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Such terrain is very good to block the attack of the Wuliang Hu tribe army in the west, but it cannot guarantee that the Wuliang Hu tribe will not come.

Chongshan Town is connected to Beiyuan Town, but there are not many connected borders, because Chongshan Town is further north, and Beiyuan Town is actually southwest of Chongshan Town.

The two border towns are only connected for a short section in Liaoxi, which is about thirty miles.

At present, the Wuliang Hu tribe's offensive focus is on the central and western parts of Beiyuan Town. There are not many Hu cavalry intrusions in the east. This should be to prevent Chongshan Town from advancing westward.

No matter what the Wuliang Hu tribe thinks, Yang Zhengshan will not go to support Beiyuan Town. His plan is to besiege Wei to save Zhao.

Attack them and save them, so that the Wuliang army has to withdraw troops from Beiyuan Town to support.

"This~~" Luo Feiyu hesitated a little, and Xie Yuan also hesitated for a while before saying: "I will obey your order!"

Both of them were a little reluctant, for a simple reason. Guarding the grain road in the rear meant that they could not charge and capture cities on the battlefield in the front.

Xie Yuan is old, and he no longer has any ideas of making achievements, but Luo Feiyu is still young and he wants to earn more credit.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at them, not paying attention to their thoughts, and continued: "The other six reinforcement battalions will lead the civilians to set up camp outside the Menghe Mountain Gate!"

"It's here!"

He pointed a thin stick at an open space outside the Menghe Mountain Gate.

"Not only do you have to set up camp here, but you also have to pretend that there are 100,000 troops, and send out all the light cavalry to block all areas within 30 miles around to avoid local reconnaissance!"

No mistakes!

"You don't have to attack the pass inside the Menghe Mountain Gate, but you have to let the civilians build siege equipment."

"In short, you have to pretend that our main force is here!"

Yang Zhengshan's eyes swept over Yang Mingzhi and others.

Attack the Menghe Mountain Gate?

Don't be ridiculous, Yang Zhengshan's brain is not seriously ill, and he will definitely not bite the hard bone of the Menghe Mountain Gate.

His plan is to abandon the Menghe Mountain Gate and ignore the Chici tribe.

Didn't the Chici tribe want to defend Menghe Mountain?

Then let them do it.

We will open up another battlefield!

"This~~" Everyone looked at each other.

Yang Zhengshan said in a deep voice: "Six-way lieutenant generals, General Tang Feihu is the main general, Niu Zhuang is the deputy general, you must obey the orders of the two main and deputy generals, understand?"

As he said, he stared at Yang Mingzhi, and Yang Mingzhi's heart jumped. He knew that Yang Zhengshan was warning him.

As Yang Zhengshan's son and the leader of the second generation of the Yang family, Yang Mingzhi was proud!

His inner pride was somewhat arrogant, which made him look down on others.

In the entire Chongshan Town, except for Pang Tang and Zhou Lan, he was the third person.

He thought so and did so.

In Yang Zhengshan's eyes, this cheap son was a little bit arrogant, and he almost didn't know what the sky was high and the earth was thick.

Previously, Yang Mingzhi did not obey his orders and ran to Chongshan Pass, which already made him dissatisfied.

Now that all the generals have gathered, Yang Mingzhi is even more arrogant, especially in front of the other generals, Yang Mingzhi's attitude has always been very high.

In response to this, Yang Zhengshan had only one idea, which was to find a time to severely punish this cheap son.

"I obey your order!"

Tang Feihu and Niu Zhuang stepped out and responded, and the others followed suit.

Yang Zhengshan stared at Yang Mingzhi, "Military orders are like mountains. If anyone dares to disobey military orders, they will be directly punished by military law. The military law of Chongshan Town was set by this marquis himself. You haven't forgotten it!"

Tang Feihu looked at Yang Zhengshan and then at Yang Mingzhi. How could he not understand that this was his father teaching his son a lesson?

In fact, he had no ill feelings towards Yang Mingzhi. Yang Mingzhi had been a little arrogant in recent years, but they rarely met on weekdays. Even if Yang Mingzhi was arrogant, he would not ride on their heads and pee.

And there was Yang Zhengshan's face, so Yang Mingzhi was justified to be a little arrogant, and it was not a big deal.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will strictly enforce military orders!" Tang Feihu said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "Again, your mission is to pretend that our main force is here, the later you are exposed, the better!"

"Yang Mingzhen, Yang Chengze, after you attack the Wula tribe, immediately lead the two battalions of soldiers to cross the Menghe Mountain from this path. Your mission is also very simple, that is, to turn the hinterland of the Wuliang Royal Court upside down!"

A cold light flashed in Yang Zhengshan's eyes, "You have no reinforcements, no logistical supplies, and your only mission is to wipe out as many tribes as possible!"

"Without logistical supplies, you will fight to support the war. If you don't want to starve to death, then go and rob the food and cattle and sheep of the Hu people."

He will not destroy the Wuliang Royal Court, but he will not let the Wuliang Hu tribe go.

The butcher's knife will still be raised, and it will be sharper and bloodier than before.

Yang Mingzhen and Yang Chengze met each other, and there was a touch of excitement in their eyes.

"I obey your orders!"

Leading the troops alone, deep into the heartland of the Wulianghu tribe, raising the butcher knife and killing people!

Such a task makes them very excited.

Others cast envious eyes at them.

Especially Yang Mingzhi, he has understood Yang Zhengshan's warning, but this does not prevent his restless heart from stirring.

Yang Zhengshan continued to order: "The three camps in front, middle and back of the town will be led by this marquis personally."

His eyes fell on Song Dashan, Yang Minghao and Yang Chengxu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then drew a long arc on the map.

"Our goal is Yemi City!"

"Go around from the north of Menghe Mountain, go west along the edge of the snowfield for two thousand miles, and attack Yemi City, the capital of the Wuliang king!"

Besiege Wei to save Zhao, attack it and you must save it!

Doing this is undoubtedly a very risky behavior. If they are not careful, they will be surrounded by layers.

But Yang Zhengshan thinks this risk is worth taking.

As long as they can reach the outside of Yemi City, Yang Zhengshan's plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" will be considered a success.

Wutuo can't not return to Yemi City, unless he doesn't want the Wuliang King's Court.

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard Yang Zhengshan's plan.

Fighting for three thousand miles, attacking Wuliang King's City directly!

This plan is too crazy!

"My Lord, is it too risky to do this?" Xie Yuan couldn't help but remind him.

Yang Zhengshan nodded gently, "It's a bit risky, but it's easier than fighting to the death at Menghe Mountain Que!"

Everyone looked at Menghe Mountain Que and stopped talking.

Well, compared to fighting to the death at Menghe Mountain Que, they think it's better to surprise attack Wuliang King's City!

Damn, Menghe Mountain Que is too disgusting. The terrain inside is very steep, and the Wuliang King's Court has built so many passes and forts there. If you want to open up Menghe Mountain Que, I don't know how many lives will be filled.
