The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1019 Cruel Plan
In this way, the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry continued to pile up, and when it affected the soldiers and horses to charge, they had to send people to clear the road.

The Han army took this opportunity to replace the wounded in the spear and shield formation. As a result, the Mongolian cavalry charged desperately before and damaged the Han army's formation, and was readjusted by the Han army.The spear and shield formation became unbreakable again, and the results of hard work were destroyed once again.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry has fallen into an endless loop.

Charge, clean up the corpses, charge again, clean up the corpses again.

The Mongolian cavalry broke out from the morning, and now they have been charging for half a day, and it is noon.However, they did not achieve the slightest result. The spear and shield array of the Han army still stood in place, motionless.

The soldiers on both sides were hungry, but the soldiers and horses of the Han army could replenish food and water under the cover of the gun shield formation.

The Mongolian cavalry wanted to eat and drink, so they had to retreat to a safe area in the valley.

In the morning's fight, the Mongolian cavalry had suffered more than 3000 casualties, while the Han army had suffered less than a hundred casualties.

Wo Kuotai's face was extremely gloomy at the moment, the soldiers were exhausted, he could only lead the soldiers and horses back to the safe area in the valley, and let the soldiers eat and drink enough to replenish their strength.

"Snapped!"

Wo Kuotai suddenly slapped himself on the face, and shouted: "I was deceived by lard, and brought a hundred thousand brothers to this valley. The entrance of this valley is extremely narrow, and the Han army's arrow rain is extremely dense, but after a while , the corpses of our army officers and soldiers blocked the way to charge. Our army spent time clearing the road, and the Han army can change their formations. How to repeat the cycle is a dead end. How can we break out of the encirclement!"

After a whole morning's charge, Wo Kuotai has realized at this moment that the hundred thousand cavalry are likely to be buried in the valley of the wolf.

"Prince, let's eat something first!" A soldier reached out and took out the dry food bag on his waist, preparing to give some to Wo Kuotai to satisfy his hunger.

Suddenly the soldier's face changed, he tore off the dry food bag, and turned the bag upside down, only some beef jerky residue fell out of the bag.

This soldier has a lot of food, a bag of dry food can last for three days without fighting.But yesterday, he ran all day and exhausted a lot of energy, and he had almost eaten all the dry food.

The soldiers fumbled for the water bag on the horse again and shook it, but it was also empty.

"My dry food is finished!" The soldier stared blankly at the dry food bag, his face suddenly turned pale.

What does running out of dry food mean in this case?means death!

A person can live for seven days without food and only drinks water, but only three days without water.

The Mongolian cavalry carried three days of dry food and water with them, and this amount could be used for three days without exhaustion of physical strength when not fighting.It has been a day and a half since the expedition yesterday morning. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry is in a fighting state and eats more than usual.

The dry food for three days when there is no war can only be eaten for about two days during war.It was already noon the next day, that is to say, the Mongolian cavalry had eaten the noon meal, and at night, some soldiers might be hungry.

Wo Kuotai suddenly trembled all over his body, and he suddenly felt the breath of death approaching. When he was in the Mongolian grassland, he didn't have to worry about food and drink, but now he was trapped in the Valley of Sirius, and he would face bombing for at most one day. The situation of running out of food.

Bor suddenly ordered: "Quickly, collect all the dry food and water in the hands of the soldiers and distribute them uniformly. Also, collect the horse blood from the horses and put them in empty bags. Let someone handle it for me and treat it as dry food."

"Ouch..." Wo Kuotai was already hungry at the moment, and after listening to Borhu's order, he suddenly retched.The taste of horse meat is like dry firewood, far less delicious than beef.Thinking that in the next few days he could only eat horse meat and drink horse blood to satisfy his hunger, he shuddered.

Boer suddenly saw this situation, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, you have seen it before. Thousands of our soldiers were killed in the morning's fight, but it was ineffective. If we continue to break through in the afternoon, we can only let the soldiers die in vain. .

However, the Han army obviously intends to besiege our army to death, so there should be no casualties, and they will take the initiative to enter the valley.

In this case, our army cannot continue to break through and increase casualties. We should tighten our belts to live and preserve our strength in the valley.We have sent troops from Mongolia several times. If we can persist for a period of time, other troops may win. The Han army here rushes to support, or learns about our army and sends troops to rescue. "

When Wo Kuotai heard the words, he immediately felt a glimmer of life, and said quickly: "Uncle, you are right. Now we have to persevere, and taking the initiative can only be self-defeating, as the Han army wants. We are all cavalry. One person and one horse, this one horse saves food and expenses, at least it can keep our army going for half a month, half a month, it should be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."

"It should be possible, prince, don't give up until the last moment!" Boer suddenly patted Wo Kuotai on the shoulder and said.

"Well! Uncle, don't worry, I won't be easily attacked by the Han army." Wo Kuotai nodded, and a glimmer of hope returned in his heart.

Afterwards, Wo Kuotai sent people to collect the dry food and water in the hands of the soldiers, and distributed them uniformly.He also sent people to deal with the dead war horses and even the corpses of his own soldiers. Wo Kuotai also asked people not to waste them, and quietly dealt with them as military rations.

Now, time is life for the Mongolian cavalry. If they can persist for one more day, they may get support and escape.

In the afternoon, the Mongolian cavalry stopped charging.

After Xue Rengui and his party had lunch, seeing that the Mongolian cavalry hadn't broken through, Liu Wu Yunzhao continued to guard Taniguchi.So he came to the south and consulted with Yang Jiye and others on how to deal with the Mongolian cavalry.

Xue Rengui said to Yang Jiye and the other generals: "Now the Mongolian cavalry are not breaking through. If I expected it to be true, it should be that they know that there is no hope of breaking through, so they want to preserve their strength and wait for rescue."

Yang Yande wondered: "The Mongolian cavalry only had three days of dry food and water, and now they may have used up more than half of it. They lasted for three days at most. How could they wait for support?"

Yang Jiye explained: "How could the Mongols be so simple? They have a tough personality, and it is no problem to drink blood like a hair. Although the dry food and water are almost used up, there are still horses. A horse can feed a soldier for more than ten days and half a month. , if the Mongolian cavalry live on war horses, they may wait for support."

Yang Yande murmured: "This will be troublesome. According to the report from the scouts, a cavalry has already appeared in the north of Yunzhong County. If Yunzhong is not far from Yanmen, they should know the news from Wo Kuotai soon. If that Mongolian army comes to help, they are likely to break through and leave."

Xue Rengui's face darkened and he said: "Now that the [-] Mongolian cavalry have been trapped in the Valley of the Sirius, how can I let them leave easily, and within three days, these [-] soldiers and horses will be destroyed!"

Yang Jiye was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "I wonder what the Governor Xue's plan is?"

"I plan to use fire to attack. This plan will harm the peace of heaven. I didn't plan to use it, but now I have to." Xue Rengui sighed.

"Huo Gong..." Yang Jiye's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he lowered his voice and said to Xue Rengui: "General Xue should not do this trick, if the news gets out, General Xue's reputation will be ruined."

Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "Mongols are the great enemy of our Han, and now they are trapped in the Valley of the Sirius. To die under the sword of our Han army is also to die, and to die in the sea of ​​fire is also to die. As long as we can eradicate them, it doesn't matter how he dies." .”

Yang Jiye pondered for a while, and said: "That's fine, I did this with the general. If those scholar-bureaucrats condemn it, we will bear it together."

Xue Rengui was very moved, and said: "Thank you General Yang, come here, pass on an order to let the soldiers go to the nearby mountains and forests to prepare more dry firewood. In addition, prepare kerosene, charcoal, sulfur and other things!"

"No!" Hearing this, the soldier hurried down to prepare.

Xue Rengui's tactic was fire attack, throwing dry firewood from the mountains on both sides of Tianlang Valley, and burning the Mongolian cavalry in the valley.

Under normal circumstances, generals are unwilling to use fire attacks, because fire attacks are too cruel.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang faced the Tengjia Army in the battle of capturing Menghuo seven times, and his generals proposed to use fire attack. Zhuge Liang knew that the fire attack would work, but he was unwilling at first.It wasn't until later that there was no other way, so he used fire attack.Later, he attributed his early death to using too much fire attack.

Because the fire attack hurts the harmony of the sky, use it to shorten your life.

But now that the Mongolian cavalry were besieged in the Valley of the Sirius, they would run out of ammunition and food in half a month at most, so it was even more wrong for Xue Rengui to attack with fire at this moment.

But now the Mongolian cavalry chooses to garrison in the valley, relying on war horses to survive, if the Mongolian cavalry really waits for reinforcements, then all the hard work will really be ruined.

Therefore, Xue Rengui could only choose such a cruel strategy of attacking with fire to completely destroy the Mongolian cavalry in a short period of time, lest the cavalry be rescued.

The inner mountain wall of Sirius Valley is very steep. If you want to climb to the top of the mountains on both sides, you can only climb the gentle slope from the back.And if you want to climb from the valley to the mountains on both sides, there is no way for ordinary people to do it.Only a few hunters who are good at climbing may be able to climb the mountain from the Valley of Sirius.

However, the Mongolian cavalry lived in the grasslands, and they were only good at riding and shooting. They could not climb mountains and ridges, and there was no way to climb to the top of the mountain from the cliffs on both sides.

When it was very dark, the soldiers brought a large amount of dry firewood from the nearby mountains and forests, and some soldiers bought kerosene, saltpeter, sulfur, etc. from the nearby cities.

Xue Rengui, Yang Jiye and others will lead the soldiers to carry dry firewood to the top of the mountain, and bundles of dry firewood will be thrown from the top of the mountain into the valley.Fire oil, sulfur and other things poured into the valley like heavy rain.

It was already dark at this moment, and the Mongolian soldiers also lit torches.Without the Han army setting fire, dry firewood, and kerosene falling into the valley, the fire in Sirius Valley began to spread.

Seeing this situation, Wo Kuotai was so frightened that his scalp was numb, and he said bitterly: "The Han army actually used fire attack. Don't they always boast of benevolence and righteousness, and would not use such a cruel strategy? Is the sky going to forget me?"
