So where did Gu Mulan come out?

Why did she suddenly launch an attack? Even the Mongols who were raiding a hundred miles away failed to find that the enemy was already close to her armpits?

In fact, this starts with the terrain near Xiangyang.

Before this, when General Qing Mulian came, he was walking the same road as Gu Mulan.

They all set out from the east and west routes of Lizhou, along the Han River to the vicinity of Xiangyang.

Qing Mulian took a boat on the Han River to approach Xiangyang at night, got off the boat thirty miles away from Xiangyang City and went to the south bank, and then bypassed Dahong Mountain, the north of Xiangyang City, which is the remnant of Wudang Mountain.

Then he reached the south of Hutou Peak, catching Guo Baoyu's Jiangnan camp off guard.

Today, Gu Mulan also came along the Han River, but she went shore north of the Han River when she arrived in the west of Xiangyang City at night! After getting ashore, this 5,000-person army has been hiding in the deep Han River trough.

This river trough is a deep trough washed out by the Han River water day after day.

At this location, the Mongolian army provocateurs saw no ship coming from the river in the distance, and thought there was no enemy situation.

Of course, they wouldn't jump into the ditch that was more than two rooms tall and went to take a look.

...So after the war started in the early morning, Gu Mulan kept hiding in the dark, looking for the most suitable opportunity for the raid.

But she found that shortly after the war started, the firepower at the top of Fancheng City had decayed at an extremely fast speed! Gu Mulan immediately knew that if she waited further, Fancheng would fall into the opponent.

So she had to give up the action of raiding the enemy's central army in the chaos and beheading Marshal Torre.

The plan was changed to quickly eliminate the enemy's long-range firepower, and then this shocking attack was launched.

As it turned out, the raid was indeed very successful.

Although Gu Mulan failed to directly destroy the enemy's central army, he still wiped out the Mongolian army's long-range firepower, thus successfully saving Fancheng.

...At this time, Jiang Yuxin on Fancheng was looking at the two troops below chasing and fleeing, and heading eastward along the northern wall of Fancheng.

Torre must have been angry and embarrassed at the moment, so he issued a decisive order to kill Mulan's cavalry at Gugu below the city.

In this case, General Gu Mulan's only way out was to bypass the east wall of Fancheng and come to the intervening road between the south wall of Fancheng and the Han River like the one hundred and fifty cavalry yesterday. Only in this way can they avoid being completely wiped out by the Mongolian army.

Although Gu Mulan's army achieved brilliant results, it does not mean that their 5,000 men can win the pursuit of two 10,000 troops of the Mongolian army.

Because the Mongolian army's cavalry and shooting skills are unparalleled in the world, as long as the distance between the two troops is within 70 meters, the shooting skills of Gu Mulan's troops in the rushing shooting may not be able to beat the Mongolian cavalry.

The reason why Gu Mulan was able to quickly break through the Mongolian army's position was because there were basically no archers on the Mongolian army's artillery and catapult positions, which captured the enemy's flaws.

But when Gu Mulan met the Mongolian cavalry who came and went like the wind and was as flexible and swift as flowing water.

It is not necessary for them to decide the outcome. As long as Gu Mulan is entangled by the Mongolian army and loses the sprint speed, it will be difficult for these 5,000 people to escape! When the battle came here, the targets that everyone on both sides of the enemy and us became the two cavalry units that chased and fled outside Fancheng.

At this time, almost everyone thought that Gu Mulan would definitely hide in the south of Fancheng City.

However, among the more than 100,000 enemy troops, three people did not think so.

These three people are: Marshal Jiang Yuxin and General Hai Mutang in Fancheng. As for the third person, he was another person squatting in the grass in the far east of Xiangyang City.

This person is the Shaoxing new army general who has disappeared in our sight for a long time... Wu Chaoyang!... Shaoxing where Wu Chaoyang is located is actually not close to Xiangyang.

But when they rushed to Xiangyang, they took advantage that no one could compare to, that is, they were closest to Lin'an! When the commander Shen Mo sent out the carrier pigeons, the pigeons arrived in Shaoxing only one or two hours, so Wu Chaoyang was the first unit to set off, several days ahead of all the troops.

Even after he set out for a night, the "Chief of the Dragon Slaying Battle" under Lin'an City had not yet begun! Wu Chaoyang walked upstream along the Yangtze River day and night, and landed near Xiangyang, down the Han River.

After that, he led his five thousand infantrymen and appeared in the mountains on the flank of the Mongolian army.

We have mentioned above that when the Han River flows through Xiangfan, it forms a "ji" shape. The inside of these characters is Xiangyang, and the outside is Fancheng.

When Wu Chaoyang approached here, he occupied a horizontal position on the shape of the "媠".

There is a steep mountain here, which is a place that Mongolian cavalry cannot reach.

After Wu Chaoyang arrived here overnight, he led his team down the mountain before dawn and came to the east of the battlefield.

They used the dense grass and vegetation at the foot of the mountain to hide themselves. After that, Wu Chaoyang was closely following the situation on the battlefield.

Unlike Gu Mulan, who led the cavalry and was good at raiding.

The troops led by Wu Chaoyang are known for their meticulous calculations and exquisite cooperation.

Besides, they are an infantry unit and have not strong mobility on the battlefield.

So when Wu Chaoyang was looking for a fighter, he kept deducing the direction of the battle situation in his mind.

Thinking about how to launch a sudden attack to cause a greater blow to the enemy.

But before he could take action, Gu Mulan, who was separated from him from Fancheng, led a cavalry team to stab the Mongols in the armpit first! Seeing that the enemy's long-range weapons were completely destroyed, Fancheng's crisis had been alleviated.

At this time, Wu Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and was also looking at Gu Mulan's cavalry army with concern.

Now this cavalry is coming from west to east, and it seems that it will take not long to bypass the east side of Fancheng and retreat to the south of Fancheng.

…"It seems that it should be safe."

At this time, beside Wu Chaoyang, his commander Wan Xishan squatted in the grass and said vaguely.

Like other soldiers, Wan Xishan squatted in one knee, but instead acted as a gangster basking in the sun, squatting on the ground with wide open arms and spreading his hips apart.

He was still biting a long grass stick in his mouth, so that he didn't speak clearly when he spoke.

Then Wan Xishan continued, "When our cavalry returned to Fancheng, General Wu, would you like to take advantage of the opportunity that the two Mongolian troops were passing by, and let him be cruel?"

When he said this, Wan Xishan looked up... and then he shivered! General Wu Chaoyang in front of him was frowning at the moment, with a grim look on his face. He said that he had never seen General Wu's expression before, so serious!
