Chapter 2790: Who would have expected the prince to be as cunning as a wolf, go straight to Huaixi, and take a false shot

At the same time, they also took a picture of the Han River defense line handed over to them by Marshal Jiang, which contained the fortifications designed by Marshal Jiang himself.

After they crossed the river, the ferries on the Han River were still busy coming and going.

The ships transported a large number of civilians, tools and food across the Han River in an endless stream.

These people were the husbands collected from Fancheng before this.

There are also young and middle-aged people newly recruited by Marshal Jiang in Xiangyang City.

They all happily crossed the Han River and helped Wu Chaoyang and other Tongzhou troops build fortifications.

Because they do such a job, not only are they delicious and delicious, but also have money.

What's more, even if they don't pay them money, these people are willing to help these Tongzhou soldiers build defense lines.

After all, they are here to protect them, after this war.

The soldiers of the Tongzhou army were killed and injured, but no one of the people in Fancheng died because of this battle - this is the best proof that the Tongzhou army is sympathetic to the people! Therefore, there were 30,000 civilians and 1,200 coolies who crossed the river with the troops.

He took Chen Yaoguang, the commander-in-chief of the line of defense, and crossed the Han River in a mighty manner.

At this time, after Marshal Jiang had arranged everything, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the distant northeast, where the Tolei army disappeared.

She knew that her husband never cared about the gains and losses of a city and a place, but instead hated any people in the Song Dynasty who were killed and plundered.

He didn't care about the credit for occupying prefectures and counties at all, but always put a large number of killing and injuring the Mongolian army's vitality first.

So this time, he would never spare the invading army!...Torai is currently moving rapidly towards the northeast.

Under his urging, the Mongolian army, which had already had terrifying mobility, showed their powerful movement speed.

When they rushed to the northeast for a hundred miles, they saw that there were more than one hundred miles ahead, Nanyang, the strategic important place in the Nanyang Basin.

After they passed Nanyang, they would not take long to reach the Fangcheng Pass that had already been lost after nightfall yesterday.

But when he ran here, Tolei probably had already left the Tongzhou army scouts behind him far away.

So he made an extremely bold decision without hesitation - to let his troops turn directly to the east! As soon as he saw Tolei turning rapidly, Guo Kan, a young man who had been following his central army, immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

At this time, the general beside Tolei was warm and could not help but quickly figured out why Tolei did this. He then looked at his coach in shock.

It turned out that Tolei had been leading his troops to speed towards the Fangcheng Pass in the northeast, but now he suddenly turned.

It was just to confuse the Xiangyang enemy in the rear and the Tongzhou army in front of them that blocked their retreat.

In other words, the retreat path that Tolei wants to choose is not Fangcheng Pass.

He actually wanted to boldly follow the passage between the mountains in the Huaihe River source and directly penetrate into the Huainan West Road controlled by Shen Mo! After he rushed out along the passage between Tongbai Mountain and Funiu Mountain, his troops could gallop on the North China Plain at that time... It turned out that Tolei was the idea! The Tolei general's move suddenly changed direction was indeed unexpected.

After thinking about this, Wen Buhua was convinced by Tolei.

But when I saw this, I think someone might ask.

Why did the new army on Huainan West Road not take this relatively shortcut when they set out to Xiangfan, but insisted on going upstream along the Yangtze River?

In fact, the reason for this is very simple. The first is that the new army on Huainan West Road does not have all equipped war horses.

If they travel by land, the arrival time may be similar to the Han River waterway, but unlike taking a boat, long-distance marching on land will seriously consume the physical fitness of the soldiers.

When they arrived in Xiangfan, it would be difficult for these new soldiers to continue fighting in a tired state.

In terms of military tactics, "If you fight for profit for fifty miles, you will be defeated by the general."

That's what it means.

Besides, if the Huaixi New Army took this passage, then they walked out of the passage between Tongbai Mountain and Funiu Mountain. On the journey close to Xiangyang, they were actually on the same route as the Mongolian army! In that case, they might have to fight an encounter with the Mongolian army before they arrived in Xiangyang.

Therefore, General Hai Mutang chose the route of Hanjiang when he led his troops here.

In fact, there are many such trivial matters, but Shen Mo's disciples can solve these problems one by one with the military knowledge they have learned before, a lot of practical deductions, and actual combat experience.

...When Tuo Lei walked towards this road, he felt a little nervous.

Tuolei's actions are indeed surprising enough, but he is also worried that since the enemy is deliberately trying to block him on the Nanyang Plain, the Huaihe River source passage ahead may not be safe.

Perhaps an enemy army had already stopped there and was preparing to block their Mongolian army! After noon, the Mongolian army troops who had been running for more than 200 miles finally arrived at the front of the Huaihe River passage between Tongbai Mountain and Funiu Mountain.

At this time, Tolei knew that if he wanted to escape, he had to act quickly.

So he sent more than a thousand scouts to cross the passage and march forward while investigating.

At the same time, he himself was in front of this valley, anxiously waiting for the news coming from the front.

Seeing the cavalry scouts running into the valley, about half a bucket of milk were squeezed, Tolei still didn't hear gunshots coming from the valley.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and then ordered five teams of thousands to drive into the depths of the valley.

At present, there is a small river in the middle of the valley in front of him, and this trickle of water channel is the source of the vast Huai River.

In addition to the river beach covered with fists and pebbles by the river, the valley between the mountains is further to the sides.

On both sides of the river valley, fallen leaves are yellowed by the sun and maple forests blown red by the autumn wind are stacked layer by layer, with bright and vivid colors.

The deep mountains in front of you are empty and quiet, and all the leaves in the forest bloom in the most beautiful moment as they are about to fall.

At this time, Tolei was still looking at the five thousand-person teams ahead with fear. They were gradually approaching the mountain pass ahead.

But at this moment, a fierce gunshot suddenly came from the depths of the valley! The gunshots in the mountains echoed through the valley, appearing dull and distant.

At this moment, Tolei felt that all his hair was blowing up! Tongzhou Army! Listening to the sound, the gunshots should be five miles away from them.
