Chapter 546
547 , The Way Of Stealing The Han Army
“Look, if the Han army’s North Road army wants to reach us, they can only walk through this small narrow area of plain between Alashan and Aalahu, unless they are willing to spend more time bypassing Alashan from the south, Or bypass Ara Lake from the north.”
Xiao Chastab Abu explained.
“and then?”
Kara Ulan is still puzzled.
“As I see it, the Han army has destroyed the Jin Dynasty all the way, destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Ping Mongolia, Dangxixia, horses and Tubo, and they have already been the arrogant divisions of Dali, so they will definitely not spend more time on detours. It must pass through the plain between Ala Lake and Ala Mountain.
“The terrain here is low and the area is small. I have already arranged for people to move here half a month ago. When the time comes, as long as the embankment of the Lake Ara is dug up, it can be…”
Xiao Cha stabbed Abu with a smirk when he said that.
Speaking of which, he learned this strategy from the Han army.
When Liu Zhao flooded the Mongolian army of millions, he was inspired.
“Wonderful! This plan is wonderful!”
Kara Ulan couldn’t help but clapped his hands in excitement and almost jumped up.
“Ahead is the plain crossing between Alashan and Alahu.
Zhuge Liang looked solemnly at the narrow plain ahead.
To the south is the rolling Alashan Mountains, and the end of the line of sight to the north is the endless Ala Lake.
“Yes, Prime Minister, if you want to reach Alima and other cities, the fastest way is to pass through here. Otherwise, you can only detour for thousands of miles, bypassing Ala Lake or Ala Mountain.”5
A guide who knows the local terrain.
“A thousand miles detour?
Zhuge Liang frowned.
He is a cautious person, and of course he understands that the terrain in front of him is the most suitable place for ambush.
“If someone digs the embankment of the Lake Ara, the water of Lake Ara will surely flow into this low-lying plain. At that time, let alone an army of one million, I am afraid that even if one million comes, there will be death and no life!” ”
After Zhuge Liang muttered for a while, he immediately raised his head and said loudly: “Come on, the army will stop marching and set up camp on the spot, and send cavalry to explore the surrounding area, especially the shores of Lake Ara.”
After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang felt uneasy again, and asked the soldiers to raise the hot air balloon to explore the nearby area by hot air balloon.
Zhuge Liang’s caution played a role.
Two days later.
“As expected, I want to dig Ara Lake and flood my army of millions!
Zhuge Liang laughed.
Any tactic, once exposed, is no longer a threat.
Zhuge Liang immediately dispatched a cavalry unit led by experts in the rivers and lakes to annihilate these Xiliao soldiers who wanted to dig the embankment.
In addition, a beacon tower was also set up in Yan’an, Ala Lake, to prevent the Western Liao Army from trying to dig the embankment when it was not prepared.
After doing all this, Zhuge Liang swept his army through this small plain, which was nothing more than an extra seven or eight days of time.
Xiao Chashi Abu and Kara Wulan, who heard the news, were pale.
“Xiao Cha stabbed Abu, your plan failed!”
“Damn, this Han army is not only brave, but also a hundred times smarter than the most cunning fox!”
“However, your strategy is not completely ineffective. The second batch of reinforcements from our Kepchak Khanate, a total of 200,000 troops, can reach here in just five days.
“Yes, the 300,000 troops that I have recruited from the rear of the Western Liao Dynasty can also arrive here in three days, and before the Han army arrives, we will have more than 1.3 million troops!
The arrival of the reinforcements gave Xiao Chashi Abu and Kara Wulan some confidence.
