In the dark sky, the moon shrouded the earth, and the bright moon hung high. The ground below was unobstructed, only endless desolation.
Who would have thought that tonight would last so long. In just one or two hours, the capital of Great Liang was still worried about the attack by the soldiers.
Only a short time later, as Su Qi'an captured Hangu Pass and joined the Tongguan garrison, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.
Directly repelling the Da Rong Wolf Legion, the situation between the two sides instantly returned to a stalemate.
And taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, Su Qi'an led tens of thousands of troops from Tongguan to instantly assemble and launch a counterattack.
The soft moonlight poured down, and in the endless desolate land below, there were countless figures galloping in an instant.
They were wearing armor and said nothing, but as they ran wildly, they exuded a chilling aura that made people afraid to approach them.
These soldiers, like a giant dragon, rushed forward at a very fast speed, leaving a cloud of flying dust behind them as they passed along the way.
The leader, Su Qi'an, sat on horseback and led an army of more than 30,000 people, running wildly.
According to their speed, it would take at least one stick of incense to reach Juyong Pass.
It is still difficult for an army of more than 30,000 to arrive together. After all, the different types of troops have different marching speeds.
The fastest runner was naturally the cavalry unit led by Su Qi'an. As the vanguard, they were also responsible for the reconnaissance mission.
Fortunately, along the way, no soldiers were found to ambush and attack.
Su Qi'an's cavalry troops are not large in number, only about 5,000 people, but these 5,000 people are definitely not something that ordinary lone soldiers can provoke.
And behind them, about a dozen miles away, was their follow-up troops.
The distance between the two sides is very close. No matter what happens to the leading troops or the large forces in the rear encounter enemy attacks, both sides can quickly gather together.
Su Qi'an was not worried about the sneak attack and ambush, but was looking forward to it. He wished that Yamlei would keep his troops and ambush them.
In this way, he can also have a good fight with Yamure, but as a master of battlefield maneuvers.
Arranging soldiers to ambush and fight the opponent's army in the terrain without any hiding place is not in line with the mobile master's style of play.
This is a very stupid way of fighting directly based on the strength of each party's troops and without relying on any terrain or city gates.
Fighting a war is not as simple as going straight, but requires flexible use of troops, and a battle to the death must never be fought.
Su Qi'an, who has read military theory books written by teachers, can understand this quite well.
This time, he led five thousand cavalry on a long-distance attack just to find out the background of this famous Daei general.
After running like this, Su Qian's five thousand cavalry finally stopped in front of a place less than four or five miles away from Juyong Pass.
Walking a mile or two ahead, you will reach the visual inspection range of Juyong Pass. No movement can escape the eyes of the defenders of Juyong Pass.
Su Qi'an did not plan to rush forward in a swarm at this time, but planned to send a small force to harass and test.
The purpose is to explore the strength of the Juyongguan garrison at each checkpoint. If he is not fooled, Su Qi'an will not suffer. It can be a kind of harassment.
It was even more of a psychological shock. Then, I sent a few small troops to see if they could get around the city walls on both sides.
No matter how cautious Su Qian was, after all, he was responsible for more than 30,000 soldiers under his command.
And more importantly, as he gradually approached Juyong Pass, Su Qian keenly discovered that the front seemed too quiet.
This kind of silence is so unusual. Even if Yamlei has an ambush, or if there is really no alert at all and everyone is asleep, it still can't be so quiet.
This kind of silence was like the Juyongguan in front was an empty city, which made Su Qian's heart tighten.
He no longer thought about it and waved his hand. In an instant, under the cover of night, several cavalry squads, each far apart, headed towards Juyong Pass ahead.
At the same time, several other cavalry squads dismounted, took off their armor, and put on
The night clothes disappeared quietly into the vast night.
Su Qian sat on the horse, looking forward, holding the horse rope tightly with both hands, patiently waiting for the news ahead.
Time passed like this, minute by minute. About a quarter of an hour passed, and there was no movement in the darkness ahead.
It stands to reason that at this juncture, even if the defenders of Juyong Pass turned a blind eye to the cavalry squad heading towards them in order not to expose their position.
But it is impossible that there is no movement at all. This is too calm.
Su Qi'an's heart was tense and her eyes flashed. Not long after, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the darkness ahead.
Several cavalry squads sent out returned one after another. No one of them was injured. It can be said that they all returned.
Looking at the returning cavalry team, Su Qi'an seemed to have a prediction. Before the cavalry team could reply, Su Qi'an's voice rang out.
"Juyongguan is an empty city!"
The soldiers of the cavalry squad looked at Su Qi'an and then nodded solemnly, "The commander-in-chief is right. Juyongguan is just an empty city. There is not a single shadow of an honorable soldier in it. Not even the wounded soldiers are seen. These are still new soldiers who touched the sentry. The army told us."
"Now they are searching in the city, let us return first and report to the commander-in-chief."
Su Qian nodded and said directly, "Let's go take a look!"
As soon as the horse ropes were tightened, Su Qian's five thousand cavalry quickly headed towards Juyong Pass ahead without hesitation.
When Su Qi'an arrived at the gate of Juyong Pass, the new army who had gone in ahead of time had already opened the gate, and Su Qi'an and other troops rushed into Juyong Pass.
The new army, which had sent out the sentry in advance, was already waiting for Su Qi'an in the city. Seeing Su Qi'an coming in, the leader of the big man said, "Use the command and after our inspection, there is no one in Juyong Pass. It is a real empty city."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the rear became a little commotion, with deep doubts on their faces.
For such a big city, there are ten thousand defenders in the city itself, plus Yamulei and other troops who retreated from Juyong Pass, there are more than thirty thousand people in total.
So many people, just a few hours later, disappeared right under their noses? Evaporated out of thin air? They really couldn't believe it.
You know, Yamulei's withdrawal of troops and return to Juyong Pass was confirmed by the defenders of Hangu Pass.
The main task of Hangu Pass is to monitor every move of Juyong Pass.
After taking Hangu Pass, Su Qian was worried that the defenders of Juyong Pass would try to attack Hangu Pass, or Yamulei's withdrawal would also harass Hangu Pass.
And they did exactly that. After Yamulei's Wolf Legion withdrew from Tongguan, they quickly turned to Hangu Pass.
They did not attack fiercely, but tested and harassed them. Each time they sent no more than a thousand troops, just to wear down the soldiers at Hangu Pass.
This kind of consumption lasted for half an hour, and finally Yamulei withdrew his troops and headed towards Juyongguan.
These are the defenders of Hangu Pass, and there are detailed records in the military report sent to Su Qi'an.
After receiving Su Qi'an's important reminder, Song Biao and Er Meng who stayed at Hangu Pass moved them from the cliff of the back city wall to focus on them.
Due to Yamure's harassment, several other groups of surprise soldiers were actually sent to try to attack from the back mountain cliff. However, due to preparations, Yamlei's surprise attack did not achieve good results, and they eventually withdrew.
But it had only been a long time since they withdrew. Not to mention them, they and the defenders of Juyongguan were all gone.
This really puzzled everyone, even Su Qian's eyes flashed, thinking.
His mind was like playing a movie, quickly going through the previous battles and reviewing the contents of the military reports bit by bit.
This silence lasted for half a stick of incense. Su Qi'an seemed to have thought of something and said directly to Su Yong behind him, "Quick, bring me the military report sent to me by Biaozi and Ermeng." Read Shula.
Su Yong did not dare to neglect, and quickly got a military report from his subordinates and handed it to Su Qi'an.
Su Qian's eyes quickly passed over the military report.
Once, as if he was looking for something, when the general reported back and forth several times, Su Qian's frown finally relaxed.
He said softly, "Yamulei is worthy of being a master of maneuvers. He never thought of attacking Hangu Pass in the first place. He just used the name of attacking to make Biaozi and the others unable to escape. I think at that time, the ten thousand defenders of Juyong Pass The army was mobilized and left."
"When the Juyong Pass defenders evacuated, Yamulei's wolf army deliberately went to Juyongguan in front of Biaozi. Biaozi did not have many troops and it was impossible to send troops to follow. Therefore, it was natural to think that Yamulei's army and Juyongguan The defenders have gathered."
Hearing what Su Qian said, everyone who had been in a commotion just now had shock written all over their faces.
Being able to make an army of tens of thousands disappear silently, and until now, no one knows where it is, is really awesome.
They were shocked, but they didn't quite understand Yamulei's intention of doing this. Juyongguan was a flat road.
But with the troops at his disposal and the high walls of Juyongguan, he was still able to resist them.
Even if Juyong Pass was breached, their casualties would definitely be considerable, and there was no need to directly abandon Juyong Pass, this defensive city wall.
Now without the protection of Juyongguan, wouldn't Yamulei's tens of thousands of troops become a turtle in a urn?
"Commander-in-Chief, do you think Yamurei's wolf army knew that they failed to attack the city and had no chance to get better next time, so they withdrew."
At this time, someone asked.
Su Qi'an also wanted to admit this result in his heart, but unfortunately, based on his view of Yamurei, if he didn't say anything else, just saying that he was a master of mobility was not in line with his style of leading troops.
His tens of thousands of troops just disappeared, and there was no withdrawal unless.
Su Qian suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he said quickly, "No, we fell into a trap. Yamulei gave up Juyong Pass, not to withdraw his troops, but to Tong Pass!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions also changed. If the shock just now was just because of Yamulei's quick action, then this time, they were amazed at his boldness.
His acting style really cannot be guessed by ordinary people, and it is really comparable to their commander-in-chief.
