Chapter 59: Ambush at Yandang

On the bank of the Canglan River, in Tang Tianshi’s central military tent, a group of people were gathered, waiting for the order from their superiors.

Tang Tianshi crossed his legs slightly, held the sword with one hand, and swept his majestic eyes over the crowd.

Then, he said, "Everyone, since the Mongol army broke through the Dark Great Wall and marched south, we have lost four counties in a short period of time. We have been defeated step by step, and even failed in many battles. Is it because I am too kind to you, which makes you feel lazy?"

"Wu Longchang, tell me, why didn't the ace Hades Armor Infantry you led defeat the Youdu Army in one fell swoop? Not to mention that you couldn't even deal with a small Mongolian soldier."

After saying this, he looked angrily at a bearded deputy general on his left.

Then a deputy general sitting behind him shouted angrily: "Zhou Chufeng, and you, why didn't you arrive at the designated location in the first time, allowing the enemy to seize the opportunity to successfully counterattack."

Suddenly, the entire central military tent fell silent.

Tang Tianshi slowly glanced at the crowd and said, "Each of you more or less took chances in the battle. I will not pursue it this time. If you make mistakes again next time, you will be punished for multiple crimes."

As he spoke, he grabbed the papers on the table and threw them directly to the ground, saying, "These are all reports from the scouts about the latest situation of the enemy. Now is an opportunity. I have decided to fight the enemy to the death."

Hearing this, the scholar at the side stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is full of strangeness. You must not pursue it rashly."

Seeing his men contradicting him, Tang Tianshi was furious and shouted, "Guo Zixing, don't think I don't know what you did behind the scenes and how much you got from the army. There are more than one person here who is on the same side as you. I just thought it was understandable and didn't pursue it."

"The enemy is now preparing to retreat. Even the troops guarding Shadun County are showing signs of retreating. At the same time, the treasures they looted have been buried, and the captives they want to take back to the Mongols to serve as slaves. This is our opportunity."

Liu Sibian, who was standing by, opened his mouth, glanced at his colleague Guo Zixing, and stopped talking.

Tang Tianshi continued, "Now, the retreat of the Mongol army is a foregone conclusion. What we need to do is to kill them all before they completely withdraw from Mingzhou."

Looking at his silent subordinates, Tang Tianshi said again: "Okay, now everyone go back and reorganize the troops. Once the Mongol army retreats, we will cross the Canglan River and fight to the death with the Mongol army."

At this moment, a man stood up from his seat, bowed slightly to Tang Tianshi, and said, "Your Highness, I want to know whether we will pursue this attack alone or together with General Zhenbei Li Yushang?"

"If it were us, we would have let Li Yushang know as soon as possible and refused to cooperate with him, so as not to make him an enemy; if we cooperate, we can let his army serve as the vanguard and we will reap the benefits."

Tang Tianshi looked at his confidants below and said calmly, "This king relies on this war to wash away the shame, so naturally he will not cooperate with Li Yushang. As for rejecting him, it is all your responsibility."

At this moment, a general rushed in and said, "General, the Mongol army on the other side has moved. They seem to be retreating."

Tang Tianshi asked the scouts to retreat and said, "Okay, I hope you can show your true abilities, drive the enemy out of Mingzhou, and avenge your brothers and sisters."

All the generals stood up together, clasped their fists and said loudly: "We obey your command."

All of a sudden, the entire camp sprang into action, but what Tang Tianshi didn't know was that everything here was delivered to Tie Caltrop by the members of the Canglang Squad.

In the Giant Forest at the western border, Chu Mo obtained a lot of spiritual objects for refining leather puppets. With the spiritual energy absorbed by Zhang Qing and Hua Rong on the battlefield during this period, he can now make leather puppets.

Despite this, Chu Mo had no plans to return to the theater. Instead, he wanted to wander around and search for the whereabouts of the Forget-Love Flower so that he could break through as soon as possible.

After collecting the Cuiyun bamboo, Chu Mo took Yang Jiye and continued to move forward.

In the silent forest, several ancient trees were suddenly cut off in half. The sound of them falling echoed around them, and even the earth shook.

I saw an old general fighting with a flying white monster.

"Pong"

Countless white feathers with a little blood fell, and the white monster was knocked against the ancient tree.

The old general took the opportunity to slash the white monster to death with his sword.

It was Chu Mo and Yang Jiye. The monster fighting with Yang Jiye was called White-Feathered Phoenix, a monster that could control wind and snow. It had a strong desire for revenge, and its feathers were like fine iron. It liked to use its feathers to cut the fur of its prey and torture it.

Looking at the white-feathered phoenix that was beheaded by a single knife, Chu Mo smiled and an idea came to his mind. He thought of making a leather puppet that was suitable for this kind of spiritual material.

Late that night, in the Mongol army camp, at Tiecalli's command, everyone quietly withdrew from the camp and soon disappeared in the vast moonlight.

Shortly after the Mongol army retreated, Tang Tianshi on the other side of the river received the news and immediately led the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops out in full force.

At the same time, after Li Yushang of Weiwu County took over this place, he began to confront the Mongolian Yuan garrison in Shadun County. He never acted rashly and only challenged them to a few battles.

Li Yushang was sitting on a chair, reading by lamplight at night, looking at military intelligence one by one, until the latest intelligence came, which made Li Yushang shocked.

Li Yushang had been paying close attention to the Mongols' every move all along, and of course he could clearly see that this was a trap set by the Mongols, but he did not expect Tang Tianshi to actually lead his troops to attack, and he could not help but curse in his heart.

He then summoned his men to discuss countermeasures.

In this way, the Mongolian army intended to retreat, and Tang Tianshi also pursued them vigorously. The two, one chasing and one fleeing, continued to advance deeper and deeper, and directly entered the Guhuang County.

After a night of running around, the sky became hazy and a thin layer of fog formed, which seemed to be getting heavier.

Tang Tianshi rode in front, followed by the generals. Looking ahead at the misty fog, he saw a tall black shadow stretching across the land. So Tang Tianshi pointed ahead and asked, "Is this Yandang Mountain?"

A general beside him said, "Your Highness, this is indeed Yandang Mountain. We have been following the horse hoof prints all the way here. I am afraid that the enemy has already passed Yandang Mountain. Should we continue to chase them?"

Just as Tang Tianshi was giving the order, Liu Sibian rode forward slowly and said, "Your Highness, the Yandang Mountains are high and densely forested, and coupled with the weather, there is a military strategy that says if you encounter a forest, you should go into it. I'm afraid there is an ambush."

Tang Tianshi nodded, thinking it made sense, but he was unwilling to give up chasing the enemy, so he asked, "Deputy General, how long does it take to bypass the nearest road of Yandang Mountain?"

The deputy general quickly took out the map from his arms, checked it, and said, "Your Majesty, it will take at least three hours to bypass Yandang Mountain."

Tang Tianshi had a gloomy face. After pondering for a while, he said in a cold voice: "Time does not allow us to take a detour. Inform the team ahead to explore the way first, and the rest will quickly cross Yandang Mountain."

Liu Sibian looked at the team slowly advancing into Yandang Mountain and sighed helplessly.

He knew that his prince was so eager to win a battle and was so eager for a victory that he had lost his mind and would not listen to his advice at all.

Despite this, Liu Sibian still rode his horse to catch up, even though he knew there was an ambush ahead. But he still wanted to share the emperor's worries, and even though there were swords, guns, and arrows ahead, he would always stay by the prince's side.
