Chapter 514: Just fight and don’t talk nonsense

Kuoke Taimengre was the younger brother of the Great Khan of the Mongol Yuan. As a special agent, he was equivalent to the prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, but his power was much greater than that of the prince. In addition to private soldiers in the fiefs, the princes of the Sui Dynasty were basically isolated from military power by the emperor. However, the special agents of the Mongol Yuan were not like that. They not only had a pasture with abundant water and grass, but also held heavy troops.

In the Mongolian Yuan, the Special Service had a special identity, that is, the heir to the imperial power. If the descendants of the Khan were still young, according to the rules of the Golden Family, the Khan would choose the most suitable person from his brothers to inherit the Khan throne. Those who obtained the Khan throne would also inherit the Khan's private property, including his wife.

However, according to the rules, after the descendants of the previous Khan grew up, the Khan position must be returned to him.

Rules are good, but since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, many times have happened to the Khan passing the Khan throne to his brothers, but never have returned the Khan throne.

None of the descendants of the previous Khan could survive until adulthood.

At that time, Mengge's father took over the scepter from his uncle and became the new Khan of the Mongol Yuan. At that time, Mengge's brother, that is, his uncle's son, was only nine years old. According to the rules, he had to wait until he was fourteen years old before he could take over the power again. The first thing Mengge's father did after becoming a Khan was to let the nine-year-old child die of serious illness.

Mengge doesn't have to worry. His eldest son is now twenty years old, and he is extremely brave and has almost a slight sensation. So Mengge is not worried about the inheritance of the Khan throne, and what he is worried about is even more serious.

When Queke Tai Menglie led his troops to the Sui Dynasty, he actually had many complaints. How could he not understand Mengge's intentions? Mengge did not expect him to make more military achievements, but hoped that he would be shot to death by the Han people. As long as he died, the thousands of miles of grassland would be occupied by Mengge, and the most important thing was to get rid of the threats to the Khan throne.

There was a time when Meng Lie even had the idea that he would not return to the royal court. He had hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry in his hand, and it was not impossible to stand on the grassland even if he was independent. But this time, he had to obey Mengge's call and lead his troops back. The Golden Family is facing the most severe test in history. If it could not be resisted, this great family that had ruled the grassland for hundreds of years would become history.

Although this test came from Mengge's decision, Mengge brought the Golden Family into the war, Menglie did not blame him. Menglie knew very clearly that he would do this even if he changed himself.

Such a good opportunity, people in the Golden Family would not be able to let go.

And everything we face now is expected.

The only thing that surprised Meng Lie was the changeable and untrustworthy people of the Sui people. At that time, he promised the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty to send troops to Luo Yao with all his might, and would try his best to get rid of Luo Yao, on the premise that the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty allowed them to leave and return to the grassland after the war.

The Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty agreed to be extremely happy, but in a blink of an eye, people blocked the canyon.

In fact, after the war against Luo Yao started, Meng Lie was unhappy. Although the surprise attack wiped out more than half of Luo Yao's troops, the nearly 100 masters sent out did not come back alive, including two great shamans, more than a dozen little shamans, and the royal court masters. He attached great importance to Luo Yao. You must know that any of the two great shamans were above the ninth grade of the Central Plains martial arts, but he still couldn't do anything to Luo Yao at all.

Later, he received a secret letter from Mengge and asked him to quickly lead his troops back to the royal court for support. Meng Lie immediately led his troops back. When the people sent by Baihuo told him that the Langrushan Canyon was blocked, Meng Lie was very annoyed and sent someone to the Sui army camp to question. The Emperor of the Sui army who was leading troops to besiege Jinyang told him the people sent, and the emperor did not know who was blocking the canyon. The emperor of the Sui Dynasty said that he didn't even know whether the army was a Sui country.

Meng Lie naturally did not believe the lies of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but at this time he had no time to waste any more. He knew very well that once the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty led his troops to conquer Jinyang and Li Yuanshan's rebels were completely defeated, the sick emperor would lead his troops to besiege him immediately, and the battle between the royal court was intensified and he had to return immediately.

If Mengge was alone in his life and death, he wouldn't care.

But now it is related to the life and death of the entire Golden Family, and he must rush back.

From outside Fangu, Meng Lie sent people to cut down trees overnight to tie up cloud ladders. The Mongyuan people were not adapted to this Han siege method, but at this time, they could only force themselves to adapt. The thing that the Mongyuan people were most reluctant to do was to leave their war horses on the battlefield.

Now that the way home is blocked, they can only dismount and become infantry to fight like the Han people.

Meng Lie was not interested in Fan Gucheng. He sent his general Gu Luo to camp outside Fan Gu Gu, monitoring Fan Gu's Han army. The purpose of the defenders in this small city was not to defend the city, but to harass the rear team of the Mongols. Once the Mongols began to attack the canyon, the Han army in Fan Gu city would immediately stick to the back like an annoying fly. Therefore, Meng Lie divided the 20,000 troops and did not attack, but only blocked the Han people from Fan Gu city from coming out.

Meng Lie sent general Bai Huo to lead an army of 10,000 to monitor the Han people's mountain village on Langru Mountain. The man and horse were the same as Fan Gu's Han army's Han army, and also to support the defenders in the canyon.

After the Mongyuan Wolf Cavalry arrived, he prepared siege equipment overnight. Not only did he tie up many ladders, but he also cut down huge trees and prepared to build siege hammers. Fengli is very smart. In recent years, he has been learning the fighting methods of the Han people, especially the siege tactics. He knew that the two huge empires, the Great Sui and the Mongols, were difficult to live in peace, and sooner or later, wars would break out. Taking this opportunity to learn more Han people's siege skills, if the Mongols and Yuan troops attacked the Sui Kingdom again in the future, they would not be helpless against those strong cities.

But what I didn't expect was that the siege technique I learned was now used on the way home.

Meng Lie, who knew the combat power of the Sui people defending the city, did not immediately order an attack. He began to prepare equipment that night. For three or four days, the cavalry of the Mongolian Yuan were cutting down trees and tied countless ladders. He also built two slightly simple siege hammers, trying to hit the stone wall with giant trees.

Fang Jie saw all the preparations of the Mongols, but he didn't seem to care much, but he just patrolled the city defense every day. All the cavalry rested in the canyon, and they would also climb the stone wall to defend when necessary. However, there were 20,000 infantry in the canyon, which was quite abundant for defense. The Mongols could not mobilize troops to support Meng Lie to attack the city from the west, which was even more favorable for Fang Jie.

I originally planned to defend both sides, but now I only need to defend one side and the pressure is much less.

Before the emperor solved the remnants of the Jinyang rebels, Fang Jie had no reinforcements. The emperor could not draw troops for him because the rebels still had considerable strength. Once the emperor led his army to attack Meng Lie's wolf cavalry, then Li Xiaoche, Meng Wansui, and Yin Poshan's rebels would face the attack of the official army from behind.

So Fang Jie had only two choices. First, persist until the emperor wiped out the rebels and led their troops to support him. Second, all the Black Flag Army died in the Langru Mountain Canyon.

...

...

On the seventh day after Meng Lie led his army to Langru Mountain, it seemed that they were ready. It has to be said that Meng Lie was a natural person who led troops. He could create countless ladders and even siege hammers in just seven days. Not only did he learn quickly and comprehend quickly, but he was also strict in the army.

At noon on the seventh day, about a team of wolves of ten thousand people were separated from the camp, and went straight to the canyon without siege equipment. When they saw dust and smoke rising, the high-level lookout hand blew a warning horn. Five hundred soldiers were already on the stone wall, and the reserve team under the city was already in place. After the horn sounded, the archers put the archer neatly at their feet, pulled out a feather arrow and placed it on the string, staring at the dust and smoke floating over outside the city.

Because the length of the stone wall is limited, the defense of 500 people on the wall has reached its limit. However, according to Sun Kaidao's instructions, Lu Fenghou built the stone wall very well, not at the entrance of the valley, but one mile inside the canyon. This distance is not chosen at will, but a decision after consideration. Entering the canyon is about one mile, and the place is the narrowest. The Mongols could not exert their troops in this place, and they would not invest too much force at one time. The canyon behind the stone wall is relatively wide, which is convenient for garrison.

The biggest advantage of Sun Kaidao is that he can think of all the details.

Watching the team of wolf riders rush into the canyon, the faces of each defender on the stone wall became serious.

It's nonsense to say you're not nervous.

No one is calm before the war, but after the fight, they will forget their fear.

After the golden flag embroidered with black flying wolf appeared in the defenders' sight, the scene became extremely quiet. When the cavalry stopped, the dust smoke from the horse's hooves floated up.

Under the big banner, Queke Taimengre, wearing golden armor, carefully observed the defenders on the stone wall with the clairvoyance he snatched from the Han people, and even did not let go of the expressions on the soldiers' faces. When he did not find the expression of fear from the defenders, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm afraid this battle will not be easier."

He did not look at the stone wall first, nor did he look at the terrain first, but observed the defenders first.

"Jieliu"

Meng Lie pointed to the stone wall and ordered, "Let the defenders come out, I have something to say to him."

His general, Zhe Liebe, urged his horse to move forward, and was forced to stop by the defenders' warning arrows fifty steps away from the stone wall. He raised his neck and roared a few times. Although the words of the Han people were awkward, there was no obstacle in communication.

"Let your general come out, the secret service has something to ask."

Qilin shouted in a muffled voice on the stone wall: "My marquis said, "If you want to fight, you will have nothing to say to you barbarians. If you want to go back to the grassland, you can break through this stone wall first!"

Zheliu turned around and reported to Meng Lie.

Meng Lie raised his eyebrows, and was silent for a while and urged the horse to move forward in person. Dozens of followers held cavalry shields tightly to protect him, fearing that the Han people would attack him in a sneak attack with cold arrows.

"Is the guard on the city wall General Fang?"

Quaktemmanre shouted loudly.

He waited for a while, but no one answered and continued to shout: "Khan asked you to meet in the royal court. There is something important to discuss. Why is General Fang so unwise? You should understand that this matter involves not Sui people or Mongolian people, but you. If you are willing to open the door and let me lead the army over, I will go with you to the royal court!"

"If you are confused, I can solve your doubts!"

After shouting for a while, no one responded. He wanted to urge the horse to walk forward. Suddenly, a feather arrow broke through the air and was particularly accurate. The personal soldiers holding the cavalry shield could not react in time. A guard beside Meng Lie who had no armor piercing eyes trembled and reached out to grab the armor-breaking cone in front of Meng Lie. The arrow cluster was less than one foot away from Meng Lie's eyes.

Meng Lie looked at the guard and nodded in praise. The guard threw the armor-breaking cone aside and looked proud. His expression seemed to be saying, "What does a mere feather arrow count as a result."

Just when he was proud, a buzzing sound suddenly came, and the heavy crossbow roared. The guard immediately turned pale and grabbed Meng Lie and dodged to one side. With a puff, the famous grassland where Meng Lie sat was nailed to the ground by the heavy crossbow.

Meng Lie, who was still in shock, did not expect Fang Jie to say anything, and even if the two armies were fighting, they would not have such a barbaric approach.

"My general still said the same thing: if you want to fight, you will get out if you don't fight!"

Qilin shouted at the top of his throat, then picked up a big stone and threw it from the wall. He was born with divine power, and he threw a big stone of more than a hundred kilograms dozens of meters. The wolf cavalry hurriedly protected Meng Lie and retreated, and a burst of laughter broke out from the stone wall immediately.
