Chapter 47 How to act?
Meteor cannons, thunder cannons, and pine cannons form layered strikes; relying on fortifications to consume the enemy for defense, forcing the enemy to fight decisively on a narrow battlefield...
After the battle, the feeling brought to people was huge, especially Yang Miaozhen and his subordinates.
At this time, they understood the profound meaning of Meng Jiucheng asking them to learn first and then lead the troops.
Fortunately, Yang Miaozhen, Wang Min and others gave their soldiers in advance the death order. They would rather die than retreat and supervise the battle harshly. Finally, there was no such thing that made them feel embarrassed.
The air was filled with the smell of nitrification and blood. Yang Miaozhen rode a horse slowly on the battlefield, but his beautiful eyes never left the figure far away.
Meng Jiucheng rode his horse and did not stop his horse's head until he approached.
Looking at each other, a smile appeared on his face and the unspeakable affection appeared.
"Miaozhen." Meng Jiucheng spoke first and smiled happily, "I haven't seen you for a day, it's like three autumns. This is so good. I've tasted it."
Yang Miaozhen's face turned red, she glanced at Meng Jiucheng, swallowed all the greetings and concerns, and said angrily: "If you don't speak well, I won't come to see you next time."
Meng Jiucheng laughed, and walked with Yang Miaozhen in a thick face, and told his fiancée the battle of Takahashi Town to his fiancée.
Yang Miaozhen gradually returned to his anger and said with emotion: "If it weren't for spending so many Jin soldiers in Gaoqiao Town, he would have had more time fighting today and more casualties!"
"Is this the elite of the Jin army?" Meng Jiucheng asked uncertainly: "How about the Bihua Hat Army?"
Yang Miaozhen thought for a while and said, "Is it a little worse? The riding and martial arts of the Flower Hat Army are still very powerful."
Cavalry! Meng Jiucheng nodded, still not very confident in fighting with cavalry.
"But--" Yang Miaozhen saw Meng Jiucheng's appearance and turned to say, "Even if the Flower Hat Army wants to attack Gaoqiao Town and be blocked on this official road, they will still be defeated."
"Miaozhen--" Meng Jiucheng looked at Yang Miaozhen and smiled and said, "Are you comforting me? Actually, I am not very afraid of the Flower Hat Army. Our enemy is the Mongolian Army, and this opponent really gives me a headache."
"Meng Army?" Yang Miaozhen was a little confused, thought for a while, and nodded, "The Mongolian Army is indeed very powerful, and it made the Jin army lose its armor. But for us, it will be a matter of the future to confront the Mongolian Army."
In fact, it won't be long since then.
Meng Jiucheng did not say anything in detail, but instead discussed with Yang Miaozhen about rectifying the troops and going to attack Wanyan Elun.
One of the two Jin troops that copied Muling Pass had been destroyed. Wanyan Eren was advancing from the east towards Muling Pass, and he was like a lonely army.
If he could attack Li in front and back, and the Red Turban Army dispatched five or six thousand troops, he would have great hope of winning.
If Li Quan did not send troops, the deployment would have to be changed. Without tens of thousands of troops, Meng Jiucheng was not ready to fight against Wanyan Eren.
The current situation is very favorable. Meng Jiucheng immediately sent someone to send a message to the Pegasus, ordering Wang Zhongfeng and Han Shouzhong to lead the army to siege Anqiu and make up for the gap in the Jin army's southward journey.
It is not just as simple as filling the gap. After Anqiu, Wanyan's men and women were cut off from retreat and the prospects were bleak.
Of course, the actions launched now are based on one premise, that is, Li Quan can defend Muling Pass, blocking Pusan Anzhen's main force, and also causing Wanyan Eren's men to be attacked.
To this end, Meng Jiucheng sent someone to send a letter to Li Quan. In addition to telling him that the Jin army that copied from the back had failed to stabilize the morale of the army, he also sent thirty stone throwing machines.
It is always not so reassuring to rely on others. Meng Jiucheng stationed 5,000 troops in Gaoqiao Town and stepped up fortifications to prevent the Jin army from breaking through Muling Pass and heading south.
We rectified the troops, placed casualties, replenished ammunition, and made a intensive arrangement, and only two days later were we ready to fight again.
There was also news from Li Quan that the messenger brought some money and letters from Li Quan.
Li Quan expressed his gratitude to the Red Turban Army for its support, although he was somewhat skeptical about the Red Turban Army's annihilation of Pusanliu's family, and then his views on attacking Wanyan's false opinion.
"If the soldiers do not leave the pass, they must defend themselves by risk, so that Wanyan's army will be stopped at the pass and wait for their fatigue and disadvantages..."
Meng Jiucheng handed the letter to Yang Miaozhen and touched his chin and began to ponder.
It seems that although Li Quan's troops have tens of thousands, they are not confident than Meng Jiuzheng's field battle with the Jin army. Of course, they have been defeated many times and suffered losses many times. It is impossible to be worthy of this kind of fear and stability.
But in this way, the Red Turban Army can only deploy about 6,000 troops. Even if they can win, they will inevitably suffer a lot of losses.
"I am so timid that I dare not lead troops out of the pass and attack." Yang Miaozhen immediately expressed disdainful views on this. "If our army sends troops, it is very likely that it will be a fight alone and will not be able to obtain the cooperation of Li Quan's troops."
Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "The rebel army lost to the Jin army in the field, and was afraid of defeating repeatedly. This is also impossible. Since that's the case, let's call the generals and discuss how to act! Anyway, we have to take action, so we can't let Li Quan be defeated so quickly."
Yang Miaozhen also knew that Muling Pass was of great effect as a barrier. However, Li Quan politely declined the Red Turban Army's request to send troops into the Pass and assist in defense, which was obviously not trusting enough.
"I dare not go out of the pass and attack, nor let us send troops to help. I am so short-sighted." Yang Miaozhen ordered his personal soldiers to summon the generals, and he was still complaining.
Meng Jiucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there was no good idea. This is one of the disadvantages of the rebel army. He did not talk about the disagreement of each other, but was still guarding against each other.
But the overall situation is still biased towards the Red Turban Army. As long as it can survive the attack of Pusan Anzhen, Pusan Anzhen will be unable to launch again from the beginning of next spring.
Next year, the Mongolian army will occupy the Zhongdu of the Jin Dynasty (now Beijing) and tentatively attack the Jin Kingdom after the capital was moved.

The Jin Kingdom lost nearly 200,000 troops in the Battle of Zhongdu, and the entire north was even more critical. It had to concentrate its troops and resources to resist the Mongolian army's attack on Henan, and could no longer provide reinforcements to the war in Shandong.
The heroes are not free. By that time, no matter how powerful Pusan Anzhen is, she will be a young wife who is hard to cook without rice.
Well, there is no need to be that time. Pusan Anzhen is now in a short position, not having enough troops and food to launch a continuous attack, and not having the power to pursue the scattered rebels relentlessly.
Moreover, it is not only the Red Turban Army that supports Li Quan and restrains the Jin army.
Perhaps I really understood the truth that my lips were dead and my teeth were cold, maybe I had tasted the benefits of joint combat, or maybe I was taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Jin army had no time to take care of him, Liu Erzu, Peng Yibin and other rebels were also taking action.
