Chapter 2348: Victory or defeat
So Zalar was so angry that he accepted Altan's poisonous plan almost without thinking.
...In his opinion, being able to flood the enemy with floods so that the Mongolian Erlang could defeat the opponent and defeat the opponent was the best strategy! Therefore, the Mongolians had formulated such a plan and followed the idea discussed by Altan and Zalar.
After three days of preparation, their plan was ready.
Today, the Mongolian army was about to launch this shocking blow to the enemy today! Their first step was to send a large army to dig the Yellow River embankment.
And as the river bank was about to collapse, they sent a team of soldiers to guard there, ready to dig the last layer of the river bank.
After that, they had to line up under the city of Nanjing and pretend to challenge the enemy troops in the city.
According to Altan's judgment, as long as they do this, the other side's 40,000 Shandong troops will inevitably leave the city to fight them.
After this, Altan will quickly retreat to the north of the Yellow River while allowing the troops that dug the Yellow River to complete their final dam breaking work.
In this way, the Shandong army that made the Mongolian army hate them and played with them repeatedly will be drowned in the city of Nanjing by the surging flood! Of course, there are many details in Altan's plan, and now he is finally discussing their sinister plan with Zalar.
At this moment, opposite them, the Shandong army had indeed left the city as the Mongolian army expected.
Moreover, Yang Miaozhen and the others were lined up, and it seemed that they were about to fight a big battle with the Mongolian army!... At this moment, opposite the Mongolian army, when Shi Baoying and Yang Miaozhen finished talking and were about to turn back to Nanjing.
Then Yang Miaozhen said with a joke to Shi Baoying: "General, there is no need to worry about our Shandong Army."
"According to Miaozhen's experience, every time the enemy thinks the commander is fooled..." "...In fact, they are the ones who are fooled in the end!"
At this time, Shi Baoying also smiled and nodded, and then Yang Miaozhen said the second half.
At this time, Yang Miaozhen watched Shi Baoying turn her horse's head and walk back.
But she shook her head in confusion and asked, "Miaozhen has something unknown... General Shi knows how far can the Meng army's sentry detectives be released?"
"The minimum is not less than 200 miles. Sometimes the Mongolian army scouts will even control the military movements around them, as far as 500 miles...what happened?"
At this time, Shi Baoying asked her while answering Yang Miaozhen's question.
"Since that's the case..." Yang Miaozhen also frowned slightly at this time and said, "How did my teacher know that the Mongolians were digging the Yellow River embankment?
Logically speaking, if he was so close, he would have been discovered by the Mongolians long ago?"
"Oh! You don't know anything about this."
At this time, Shi Baoying walked away and said to Yang Miaozhen with a smile: "Your teacher has another army that has been in Lintao, and has never taken it to Shandong, and rarely stayed in Tongzhou, so Miss Yang has never met them."
"That army will not arouse their suspicion even if it appears face to face in front of the Mongolian army."
Shi Baoying smiled and said to Yang Miaozhen: "Because they are not humans, but..."... In the lonely winter wilderness, a group of wild wolves were fighting and playing on the wasteland on the bank of the Yellow River.
Not far away from them was a Yellow River, and in the distance was the towering city of Nanjing.
These wild wolves are extremely cunning and have extremely fast pace.
Whether their ability to sprint for a short distance or speed of long distances, few other animal species can match them.
So when the Mongolian army approached their vicinity, these wild wolves would be extremely vigilant to drill into the ravine.
Due to their usual habits, the Mongolian army scouts also believed that as long as there were places where these wild wolves appeared, there would be no one to exist.
So when they see where there are wolves, they will even cancel the investigation of that place.
Because these Mongolians regard wolves as their totem, to them the wolf is their friend and sentinel.
As long as it is the place where wild wolves gather, there is absolutely no enemy army.
But at this moment, a guy in wolf's skin was lying prone to the wasteland among the pack.
His twinkling pupils, with the unique calm of the beasts, silently observing the Mongolian army camp in the distance!... Altan made a plan this time very detailed. In his plan to flood Nanjing City and all of them drowned the Shandong Army, the most important one was how their own people retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River.
Because while they retreated, they also had to leave all the Shandong army on the south bank of the Yellow River so that the enemy could not follow them through the Yellow River... Although this requirement sounds not easy, it is not difficult for Altan, a resourceful guy.
During these three days, the Mongolian army had prepared fifty catapults again, but did not place them on the south bank of the Yellow River, but were preparing to shoot against the enemy near the city of Nanjing, but instead placed them on the north side of the Yellow River.
At the same time, Altan has mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers to use their spears to chisel the entire ice surface of the Yellow River, so that the river surface can no longer be passed through.
What Altan did was almost exactly the same as the previous actions of Monk Wanyan Chen, who chiseled ice.
However, Monk Wanyan Chen dug a two-meter-wide river channel on the surface of the Yellow River, so that the enemy could not cross the river.
After the Mongolians dug up all the river surfaces, they left a 20-meter-wide ice surface!... The Mongolian army's plan was: Once the soldiers left on the south bank lure the Shandong army to attack the Mongolian army, and then dig the Yellow River ten miles upstream! After that, when the Mongolian army troops who dug up the Yellow River found that the river embankment broke, the river began to rush towards Nanjing on the south bank of the Yellow River, they would immediately shoot arrows and send signals to this side.
Therefore, after sending messages to the camp with a series of arrows every other mile, the Mongolian army on both sides of the Yellow River could get the news that the Yellow River was breached.
After that, the vanguard troops of the North Bank were responsible for attracting the Shandong Army, crossing the Yellow River along this 20-meter-wide ice passage and throwing the Shandong Army on the south bank! At the same time, fifty catapults located on the north bank of the Yellow River immediately threw huge rocks at the twenty-meter-wide ice surface.
While blocking the Shandong army from chasing the Yellow River, they used huge rocks to destroy the ice until they completely broke it! So when the Yellow River flood peak arrived, the Shandong army that was too hated would be flooded by the surging Yellow River water on the other side of the Mongolian army.
