On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 36 If I were to use troops at this time

Soon, under Gu Changsheng's arrangement, the defenders of the Great Zhou Dynasty reorganized and moved towards Tumu Fort.

the other side.

In the Jin Kingdom’s camp.

Genghis Khan also received news that the vanguard troops had been wiped out.

"Great Khan, the large army of the Zhou Kingdom has arrived at Datong Pass. Our army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and none of the [-] elites were spared."

The Jin generals who came to report the news were full of grief.

This was their worst defeat since the beginning of the war, and also the most massive loss.

After all, no one expected that Dazhou's counterattack would be so violent.

Just facing a temptation from them, they all came out in force, catching them off guard.

"Oh, I see."

Genghis Khan's face was calm after receiving the news, as if he didn't care about the destruction of these [-] elites.

Touching a domesticated wolf next to him, he had a confident smile on his face.

"When the enemy retreats, we advance. When the enemy advances, we retreat. Call the entire army to evacuate immediately and rush to Tumubao overnight."

what!
The Jin general was startled when he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment. Soon after he realized the Khan's intention, his face suddenly showed ecstasy.

Yes.

Now the main forces of Da Zhou are gathered at Datong Pass.

If at this time, they turned their guns and launched a surprise attack on Tumu Fort, it would be impossible to resist the 50 cavalry under their command with the current defenders of Tumu Fort alone.

and.

Compared with Datong Pass, the terrain of Tumubao is the real key to Dazhou.

After taking down Tumu Fort, they can go straight into the Central Plains without any obstacles.

"The Great Khan is indeed wise and powerful. With such a clever plan, we can easily break through Zhou's defense with the minimum expenditure of troops."

The Jin general who realized this suddenly said excitedly.

"This is nothing. Da Zhou is just Ben Khan's first target. As long as we can take the lead in breaking through the defense this time and engulf Da Zhou's national power."

"The remaining four countries are not worth mentioning."

Genghis Khan spoke calmly, but his eyes were filled with wildness and murderous intent.

Among the six countries.

With the current national strength of the Zhou Dynasty being the lowest, except for the troublesome Fengtianhou, everyone in the imperial court of the Zhou Dynasty, including the Emperor Wu, is incompetent.

Now he has used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to drag Gu Changsheng's energy to Datong Pass.

As for whether there are other generals and ministers in Dazhou who can turn the tide.

It's not that he underestimated anyone in Da Zhou.

Rather, except for Gu Changsheng, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty could fight.

"Gather the entire army and advance to Tumu Fort immediately!"

"In compliance with the will of the Great Khan, in this battle, our army of the Jin Kingdom will definitely be overwhelming!"

…………

After several days of marching, Zhou's troops finally arrived at Tumubao.

"Report to Commander Gu that a large number of cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Jin were found twenty miles away."

The soldiers who came to report the news looked at Gu Changsheng with admiration in their eyes.

Just as his general expected, the real target of the grassland overlord was not Datong Pass at all.

But it is a civil fort.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the border would be broken.

Even if they were aware of it, it would be too late to turn back.

"What a cunning Genghis Khan. He first launched a detailed attack on Datong Pass to attract our army's attention, and then secretly withdrew his troops to launch a surprise attack on Tumubao."

"We must not let them get what they want. Commander Gu, I will ask for a battle. Please give me [-] cavalry to ensure that these Huns never come back."

After seeing through the conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom, many generals were filled with burning eyes and asked Gu Changsheng for help, determined to fight to the death with these cunning Huns.

"Is the tragedy finally about to begin?"

Wu Mingyue's heartbeat also accelerated as the notes were narrated.

In this battle, hundreds of thousands of border defenders were wiped out, and Gu Changsheng was captured.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was on the verge of extinction.

Even though she knew the outcome in advance, she still couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Because only Gu Changsheng knew the detailed process of this battle.After this battle, Gu Changsheng once returned to the court and fell into a state of confusion.

Ridiculed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was the god of war in Tumubao and was the shame of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If Gu Changsheng had not once again made extraordinary achievements on the battlefield after regaining his strength, perhaps the story of this generation of great rebels would no longer continue.

I really hope that this is how the story unfolds.

Wu Mingyue's eyes were complicated.

"The Kingdom of Jin is the attacker, and we are the defender. Remember not to make any mistakes. I will only give you [-] soldiers and horses to set up defenses in the earthen fort. Remember not to go out to meet the enemy. You can only defend but not attack."

"Gu Shuai..."

"The Kingdom of Jin does not know that the main force of our army has evacuated Tumu Fort from Datong Pass. If we attack at this time and cooperate with the defenders of Datong Pass, we will definitely be able to capture it in one fell swoop."

"Your mission is to guard the earthen fortress, there is no need to make any other noise."

"This is a military order!"

Gu Changsheng ordered.

"The minister takes orders."

After hearing Gu Changsheng's order, even though he was unwilling to do so, the general still accepted the order.

After all, during this period of time, Gu Changsheng had used his wisdom and strength to prove that his skills in military warfare were far beyond what they could understand.

Gu Changsheng was too cautious in this move.

In the main hall, Wu Mingyue couldn't help but frown.

Now the attention of the Jin army was completely attracted to the defenders of Tumubao, and they did not expect that the large troops of Zhou Dynasty had rushed to Tumubao for support.

This is the best opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

If she were to use troops, she would definitely send out all her forces to surround the enemy and cooperate with the earth-fort defenders on the front line to attack from both sides.

Annihilate the Jin cavalry in one fell swoop.

But Gu Changsheng, who was overly cautious, missed this opportunity.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that it led to the complete defeat... after that.

What a great opportunity, but Gu Changsheng missed it like this.

Wu Mingyue sighed in her heart and shook her head secretly.

No one is perfect, and smart people often get fooled by their cleverness.

Genghis Khan had been unable to attack the earthen fortress for a long time, so he must have expected that the main force of Zhou Dynasty had arrived.

If you are prepared in advance, it will be even more difficult to launch a sneak attack.

It's not that Wu Mingyue has any prejudice against Gu Changsheng in her heart, in fact, she even has doubts about Gu Changsheng's purpose of entering Dazhou.

When it comes to arranging troops to fight, she has always believed that the other party is a prodigy in the world, unmatched by anyone.

But now I feel a little disappointed about this battle.

It would be a pity that such a military wizard who was astonishing both ancient and modern times would be reduced to the future God of War in Tumu Fortress.

After thinking about it, Wu Mingyue couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Changsheng.

"Inform the Great Khan that our vanguard has approached the twenty mile range of Tumubao and has not found any ambush. Do you want to continue to advance?"

No one could have imagined that even after confirming that the main force of the Zhou garrison would now gather at Datong Pass.

Genghis Khan, the overlord of the grasslands, still did not rush into the world greedily.

Instead, they chose to send vanguard troops forward to lure the enemy deeper.

Once they fall into the trap, the real army hidden in the rear will be dispatched to form an encirclement and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Don't worry, let the vanguard continue to move forward to test."

Genghis Khan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Now the main force of the Jin Kingdom has completely gathered at Tumu Fort.

Even if Gu Changsheng from Datong Pass learned the news and came at this time, it would already be too late.

There is absolutely no need for them to risk their lives.

After all, the terrain of the Tumu Fort was dangerous. If they were ambushed at this location, the army would be without water or food.

"The great man is wise and far-sighted, and the humble ministers admire him endlessly."

At this moment, all the Jin generals admired him deeply.

He ordered all ministries to arrange their formations as originally planned and advance steadily. "

Genghis Khan waved his hand, signaling for everyone to retreat, and then closed his eyes to rest and prepare for the next battle.
