Chapter 2886: Who is the hero
At this time, the Yanshan Mountains were covered with clouds and the situation became increasingly tense.
Before the army of the Grand Tutor of Huanzhou, Bolu, arrived, the information about the Mongolian march was sent to Shen Mo by secret envoys sent by Lu Wuyu.
This time, Bolu led an army of 120,000 and approached the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with the firearms built by the Mongolian army with the whole country. He was obviously determined to win.
At this time, Shen Mo had already prepared this defensive battle!... The situation Shen Mo was facing now is: he had occupied all the dangerous passes in the direction north of the Yanshan line.
Here, the Yuguan Guards' Guards' 2,000 Marines, the Xifengkou's 3,000 Huaiyang Legion's heavy infantry, and the Gubeikou's 7,000 Huaiyang Legion, led by Shen Mo himself.
In the direction of Shen Mo to the west, General Ma Zhiyuan of the Shandong Army led three thousand infantry soldiers to guard Juyong Pass.
At the same time, Yang Qingyue led 7,000 troops to block Dushikou, and this Shanxing Army was led by Yang Qingyue.
Further west of Yang Qingyue was Wang Yunfeng's troops, with five thousand infantry guarding Juyong Pass.
At the same time, west of Juyongguan, Wang Yunfeng led 10,000 troops to defend Chen Jiagu.
Wang Yunfeng's subordinates actually only had 10,000 Dongxing Army members, and the other 5,000 were escorting 5,000 Shushan Army captured by Zhang Rou's troops. This was temporarily supported by Marshal Jiang Yuxin of the Western Route Army to Wang Yunfeng.
In addition, there is also a Feihukou dangerous pass hanging alone in the middle of Yanshan Mountain, which is guarded by the Eight Hundred Dead Craft Camp.
In other words, the Northern Army led by Shen Mo almost defended the entire Yanshan Mountains with 30,000 troops!... After that, it was Marshal Jiang Yuxin's Western Route Army. She originally brought 30,000 people from Bashan, Shushan and Chengdu.
But now there is only half of the Shushan Army, so her troops are 25,000.
At this time, Marshal Jiang Yuxin received the commander's order and knew that the troops at Feihukou were weak, so he immediately ordered the commander of the Shushan Army Zhao Jinping to take the remaining 5,000 people to help Feihukou.
She herself, with the two cavalry units of Chengdu Army and Bashan Army, disappeared strangely on the south side of the Yanshan Mountains.
Judging from the usual behavior of Marshal Jiang Yuxin, it is estimated that when she appears again, she will definitely be at the most uncomfortable critical juncture of the enemy.
...And after Yang Miaozhen's Eastern Route Army successively occupied Qigou Pass and Waqiao Pass, it was actually in the center of the arched Yanshan Mountains.
The Yanshan defense line to the north of her is like a horned bow full of, and she is in the position of the string pulling hand.
After receiving Shen Mo's military order, Yang Miaozhen immediately led his Lin'an Army, Hongxing Army and Aoxing Army began to operate.
...For Shen Mo, the Mongolian Army's counterattack was unquestionable, and the enemy's goals were relatively easy to determine.
According to Shen Mo's inference, after Bolu's last failure, he would definitely be more cautious in commanding his troops.
Therefore, he avoided the Tongzhou army's front in Yanshan area and was unlikely to directly enter the rear pass.
In other words, Bolu actually has only two goals, namely Dushikou, which was guarded by Yang Qingyue, and Gubeikou, which Shen Mo personally guarded.
At this moment, Shen Mo was looking into the distance on the wall of Gubeikou.
Now the Bolu army has reached forty miles north of him, approaching Gubeikou Chengguan day and night.
Generally speaking, the Mongolian army can only arrive in two quarters of an hour.
But now Bolu's army has been walking for a day and a night, and has only walked less than ten miles! Because there are mountains and dangerous peaks in front of Gubeikou, Shen Mo used the flexible defensive positions set up by the Huaiyang Army's mountain infantry to plunge the Bolu army into a quagmire.
In such a dangerous terrain, it is very easy for the mountain infantry army to play its advantages.
What's more, their defensive positions were set up by Shen Mo based on military maps.
Between the peaks, the bullets fired by the mountain infantry were condescending, with no blind spots at all.
Moreover, the speed of the infantry on the mountain was as fast as flying on grass, so for the Mongolian cavalry, they now lost their mobility in the mountains and became the one that could not move forward.
What's more, Bolu's army brought a huge number of artillery this time, so their actions became slower and slower.
It is estimated that they will have to walk another two days to reach the rest of the journey.
At this time, Shen Mo looked into the distance, but seemed to be worried.
… “What’s wrong with the commander?”
Taoist Priest Ling Xiaozi walked over with a smile. He held a canned beef soybeans in his hand. While eating, he asked Shen Mo with juice splashed everywhere.
"Look at your promising prospects! The family has so much money, and it's so delicious when you eat this thing!"
Shen Mo turned around and saw that it was Ling Xiaozi, and replied with a smile.
"Don't mention it, I've eaten this thing on the sea for two years."
Ling Xiaozi smiled and said, "These cans are so disgusting to me on the sea. I thought I would never think about this again in my life!"
"I never thought that I would miss this can again after a few years!"
At this moment, Ling Xiaozi finished eating the canned food, licked the gravy on the lid of the box, and reluctantly threw the empty box next to it.
Ling Xiaozi looked at Shen Mo with an inquiring look, and was puzzled by the reason why Shen Mo's solemn expression was very confusing.
At this time, Shen Mo saw that there were no outsiders around him, so he whispered to Ling Xiaozi: "I was relieved this time... Do you still remember that traitor?"
"Remember!"
When Ling Xiaozi heard the word "traitor", he immediately became energetic! A light flashed in his eyes and said to Shen Mo: "It was that guy who launched an economic war four years ago, which almost destroyed Tongzhou's business reputation.
After all, the commander calculated the time when I returned from the U.S., and defeated that guy's conspiracy."
"A few days ago, he was in Lin'an again, revealing his identity as our secret spy, Song Wuhui, almost killing that kid... Why did you think of him at this time, commander?"
"Why did I remember him?
You don’t know! I came here with fear this time!"
Shen Mo looked at Ling Xiaozi with a wry smile and said, "Ninety thousand troops rushed towards Yan Yun. This is a battle that concerns the peril of the nation. How can there be any mistakes?"
"If the traitor knew the details of our actions, he would definitely obstruct the war.
But judging from the current situation, the Mongolian army knew nothing about the information we sent troops... Obviously, the traitor did not secretly stumbling on us."
"This is strange!"
After thinking about it, the old Taoist Ling Xiaozi was shocked! He realized that the commander was under such a great pressure to send troops this time! Isn’t that?
In this military operation, the suddenness of sending troops is the most important prerequisite.
