Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1302

Chapter 1300: Old Dragon Pond under Liupan Mountain

"Report... my lord, all the soldiers and horses of Yuanmeng are on the move, and they are all gathering towards Pingluo County..."

Qin Hao showed such an expression as expected, and said with a smile: "It seems that Temujin has also realized that the Yuanmeng iron cavalry is not good at defending the city. He knows that if he keeps defending, he will only become more and more passive, so he must concentrate his forces to defeat our army. The siege is outside Pingluo City, it seems that Pingluo County may not be attacked."

Wang Meng also laughed, and said: "My lord, this is a good thing, although we succeeded in conquering Guyuan County before, we also lost [-] troops.

If we continue to attack Pingluo County, the loss of troops will never be less than that of Guyuan County, and before the decisive battle, the greater the loss of our troops, the lower the winning rate of the decisive battle.

With the current situation in the battle in Ningxia, the hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass in Pingluo County have long been irrelevant to the overall situation. The next thing we need to consider is a decisive battle. "

Qin Hao nodded, and said: "What you said is very true, all the previous calculations are only for this last moment, so Hao will naturally not be careless in the slightest.

Where is Jiang Jiong? "

"The end is here." Jiang Jiong stood up.

"Send an order to stop marching towards Pingluo County and turn to Liupan Mountain.

In addition, once again issued a letter of war to Temujin, saying that I will fight him in front of the old dragon pool in Liupan Mountain. "

"promise."

Although the three counties of Hetao are dominated by plains, there are also many mountain peaks, such as Liupan Mountain, Helan Mountain, Xumi Mountain, Yunwu Mountain, and Tiandu Mountain.

It's just that because of the large distance between these mountains, the terrain is not too dangerous, and it is difficult to play the role of defending against the enemy. Of course, Helan Mountain and Liupan Mountain are exceptions.

When he and Murong Ke attacked Ningxia County before, in addition to guarding Ningxia City, Wang Meng also blocked the terrain through the terrain of Helan Mountain, making it difficult for Murong Ke's military advantage to be brought into play.

Liupan Mountain is also known as Long Mountain. The main peak is in Guyuan and Longde counties of Ningxia. It is 2928 meters above sea level. The watershed of the Jing River is steep and tortuous.

Liupan Mountain is named after the six layers of the ancient winding road to reach the top of the mountain. In the southeast of the mountain, there is a scenic spot of Laolongtan, which is one of the sources of Jingshui.

The reason why Qin Hao chose Liupanshan Laolongtan as the final battle location was not only because Liupanshan was the closest to his location, but also because it was a decisive battle location that was beneficial to both sides, and it would make the suspicious Temujin feel at ease.

"My lord, in the next decisive battle, the catapult and the well fence will not be needed, and it will be inconvenient to carry, and it will slow down the marching speed." Xue Rengui said.

Qin Hao nodded, and after a little thought, he said decisively: "Then burn it on the spot."

"what?"

Xue Rengui never expected that his lord would be such a prodigal, so he widened his eyes and said, "My lord, there are hundreds of catapults, and the cost of each catapult is not low, and the manufacturing cycle is not short, so it's too much to destroy." It's a pity."

"Then what do you say? Leave it to Temujin?"

Qin Hao asked back, Xue Rengui was speechless, these catapults were a sharp weapon in the siege before, but now they have become a drag on the decisive battle of the Han army.

"The most important thing for us now is to defeat Temujin. There are only hundreds of catapults. I can afford to lose them. At worst, we will build them in the future."

Qin Hao said indifferently. In fact, his heart was so distressed that he was dying, but in order to ensure the final victory, he was willing to pay this price.

Xue Rengui was still reluctant, and persuaded: "My lord, according to the general's opinion, it is better to dismantle the catapult and bury it in a secret place. After defeating Temujin, we can dig it out and use it."

Qin Hao couldn't help being taken aback, he had already put all his heart and soul into the decisive battle, but he didn't realize this method.

"I'll give you [-] cavalrymen. Be sure to finish it within half a day, and then catch up with the main force."

"promise."

On the other hand, after receiving Qin Hao's third letter of challenge, this time Temujin did not waver because of unknown dangers, but decisively chose to fight Qin Hao to the death.

He is the one with absolute strength, and in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile, so no matter what Qin Hao's calculations, Temujin only needs to see the tricks.

"Liupan Mountain? Old Dragon Pool?"

After seeing these two place names, Temujin couldn't help but chuckled: "Does Qin Hao want to follow the example of Xiang Yu and Han Xin and fight Da Yuan with his back?
I don't know where Qin Hao's self-confidence comes from. Do he really think that he can defeat my 14 fine cavalry with 24 cavalry by relying on the backwater battle and the fire bull formation?too naive. "

Speaking of this, Temujin pointed at the Han army envoy, and said calmly: "Go back and tell Qin Hao that there will be a battle to the death at noon tomorrow, the winner will be king, and the loser will be prosperous."

"Yes."

After the envoy left, Yang Silang stood up and said seriously, "Your Majesty, why did Qin Hao choose Liupanshan Laolongtan? Liupanshan is majestic and steep, but only a few dozen flat areas in front of Laolongtan are very suitable for cavalry combat. Is there any fraud in this?"

"Could it be that Qin Hao wants to use the old Longtan as a plan to flood it?"

Wo Kuotai stood up and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hao used the strategy of water attack and dug up the Han River to defeat Xiang Yu. Does he want to repeat the old trick?"

Yang Silang looked at the eye-socket Kuotai as if he was mentally retarded. What he saw was a little inexplicable, but Temujin explained: "The old dragon pool is just a pool of water. The area and flow of the pool are not large. The deepest The place is only two feet away, and it is absolutely impossible to carry out a water attack."

Wo Kuotai couldn't help but blushed when he heard the words. He was actually not familiar with the terrain of the Hetao, and it was just a flash of inspiration just now, so he brought it up without much thought, but he didn't expect it to be an impossible solution.

Wo Kuotai, who felt he had lost face, was ashamed to continue talking, so he had to retreat silently.

"You don't need to worry too much. You know, I have 24 iron cavalry in Dayuan, and Qin Hao only has 14 cavalry. Therefore, Qin Hao should be the one who should be worried."

Temujin looked at the generals in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Liupanshan, Laolongtan, there is nothing wrong with this location, even if Qin Hao wants to cheat..."

On that day, Yuanmeng's 24 cavalry assembled in Pingluo County, and then under the leadership of Temujin, they all headed towards Liupan Mountain.

At noon the next day, under the leadership of Temujin, 24 cavalry arrived thirty miles away from the old dragon pool, and Qin Hao also set up a formation five miles away from the old dragon pool, patiently waiting for the countdown to the final battle.
