Chapter 193 Temujin’s Response (Part )

It was at the moment when Gao Changsheng raised his head.

Somewhere in the north, a pair of sharp eyes turned at the same time.

Two pairs of eyes seemed to see each other through the void.

"Report to the Khan, the spies our army left behind have sent back news."

"Gao Changsheng is stationed in Xiangfan with two divisions, but his own general's tent is set up outside the city. It seems that he wants to fight our army in the field."

A voice sounded.

As the voice fell, bursts of laughter were heard in the tent.

"Fight in the field, fight with my Yuan cavalry in the field."

"Where does Gao Changsheng get the courage? It's ridiculous."

You know, the Mongols were able to dominate the world by relying on their extremely powerful cavalry.

Charging into battle on the field is their specialty.

Especially since the army was commanded by Temujin, who had the strongest military spirit troops under his command.

Even they couldn't have imagined that there were people who dared to fight them in the wild.

"It's not surprising that Gao Changsheng became famous at a young age and looked down on others. In the battle of Yumen Pass, our army defeated the Sui army and killed Yang Lin. He might want to use the same hard-fought tactics to get back at them."

“Hahaha, since Gao Changsheng is seeking death, of course we must satisfy him. I seem to have seen countless Sui soldiers wailing.”

In just a moment, the big tent was filled with laughter and joy.

Obviously, no one thought that Gao Changsheng would have any advantage in such a field battle.

"How is Gao Changsheng's military deployment?"

Temujin was not like the generals in the tent.

But ask immediately.

"The specific deployment is unknown, but from the waving flags, we can tell that Gao Changsheng has occupied various high ground and passes around Xiangfan."

"But no one knows exactly how many troops there are in each location, or whether they are hidden."

Temujin turned his head sharply.

"Mark what you have found on the sand table for me."

Hearing this, the people below did not hesitate.

Wooden sticks were used instead of the flags that were seen and marked on the sand table.

Before the other party finished marking, Temujin suddenly looked down, his eyes shooting straight in a certain direction.

Then he slowly began to move.

"From the markings, Gao Changsheng is indeed deploying troops around Xiangfan."

Although this is not Gao Changsheng's entire arrangement, the distribution of the wooden sticks in front of us can give us a rough idea of ​​the situation.

"Does Gao Changsheng really want to fight me in the open? Or does he have some other tricks that even I can't see."

Temujin murmured.

But there was no panic in his eyes.

He really couldn't see what the other party was hiding at this moment, but he was not worried.

This kind of melee between large military groups is still a head-on field battle.

What is being compared is ultimately hard power; hiding some military forces will not have a decisive effect.

Although just before that, he had wiped out Yang Lin's army.

But he had planned for a long time, mobilized various means and forces, and also took advantage of some problems of Yang Lin and the Sui Dynasty itself to force him out of the pass.

That’s it. In the end, the losses in the battle were extremely tragic.

At this moment, Gao Changsheng had only arrived in Xiangfan not long ago. Temujin absolutely did not believe that he could lead the same overall situation.

"Continue to investigate. Gao Changsheng is so famous that he is definitely not an ordinary person. We cannot take him lightly."

"Of course, in a field battle outside the city, our Yuan men and our Mongolian men will never be weaker than anyone else."

Temujin said with a burning gaze.

"Since Gao Changsheng has put up such a strong display, I cannot but give him some respect."

"However, we still need to be on guard. Although our rear flanks seem to be as stable as a rock, nothing is impossible on the battlefield." "We must keep a close eye on every location and not be careless at all."

"As long as we are not surrounded by a detour, and face off head-on, the military soul troops in my hands are enough to break through any obstacle."

"Yes." All the generals in the tent nodded at the same time.

"Great Khan, what should we do with Yumen Pass and Wu Jianzhang's troops?"

"Although we are in a decisive battle with Gao Changsheng, Wu Jianzhang cannot help but pay attention to whether he should rely on the defense of Xiongguan Pass or..."

Mu Huali, who had been silent, spoke.

Although their main force slowly withdrew from Yumen Pass, they would obviously leave some troops inside the pass and would not give up directly.

"Just hold on till death."

Temujin smiled.

"Gao Changsheng did not join the Sui Dynasty, but deployed troops in Xiangfan and challenged this Khan to a decisive battle."

"I have to say, this was a loss for me in the first place."

"But how can Benhan always follow the other party's rhythm?"

"Whether it's Wu Jianzhang, Shi Wansui, or even Ding Yanping who is hiding in the dark."

"To monitor the Western Turks and intimidate me, haha, then I will just satisfy them."

Temujin's eyes were bloodshot as he looked coldly towards the distant sky.

It was almost at the moment when Temujin opened his mouth and raised his eyes.

Between the two cities of Xiangfan.

A burst of hurried horse hooves passed by.

Until under the fluttering general's flag.

"Report."

"General, there is news from the east."

"explain."

Gao Changsheng raised his eyes and snorted.

"General Wu sent a message saying that along the Yumen Pass, most of the Yuan army has slowly withdrawn and is heading towards Xiangfan."

"But the Yuan army in the northwest of Yumen Pass cleared the way before leaving."

"A huge gap has appeared along our northwest line, and according to intelligence, the Western Turkic army has been prepared for a long time and is now pouring in through the gap, seemingly intending to directly take over the area vacated by the Yuan army."

"Western Turkestan?" Li Jing's eyes widened suddenly.

"Temujin directly let the Western Turks in, and even gave them their territory. Is he trying to use the Western Turks to contain the Sui army on the eastern front?"

Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Such an obvious move naturally could not be hidden from him.

Now there are troops of the Sui Dynasty on both the east and west sides.

For Temujin, Gao Changsheng in Xiangfan in the west is undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with, and it will be Gao Changsheng that he will fight with all his strength.

But the other side cannot ignore Wu Jianzhang in the east.

After all, Wu Jianzhang also had a large army under his command. If Temujin ignored it, he would capture Yumen Pass and march straight in, which would directly threaten Temujin's rear.

Under normal circumstances, Temujin would have led most of his main forces into Xiangfan to fight Gao Changsheng, while the rest of the Yuan army, led by a certain general, would rely on the defense of Yumen Pass.

But leaving aside the western front for now, the Yuan army on the eastern front would definitely be at a disadvantage.

After all, it was impossible for Temujin to fight with all his strength along the way.

But unexpectedly, Temujin actually used such a method and directly gave the place to the Western Turks.

The invasion of the Western Turkic army would undoubtedly attract Wu Jianzhang's attention, and he could not ignore the Yuan army that remained behind.

In this situation, Wu Jianzhang was obviously unable to support the western front.

"Not only that, he probably also wants to use this to force Ding Yanping to reveal his identity."

"The Western Turks are advancing in a large scale. The so-called surveillance and defense are meaningless. Once they show up, they can only fight head-on. They can no longer sneak in secretly. The threat to the Yuan army is also greatly reduced."
