Kezhou, Chenshui Pass.
This pass located in the north of Kezhou has been the northern barrier for King Huang Daochong of Kezhou for a long time.
"Huang Daochong, the king of Kezhou, was worried about Beiyu coming to attack, so he left this pass. Military advisor——"
"No." Huang Daochong interrupted hesitantly, "I remember clearly, Huang Daochong has never been king, right?"
"Strategist, everyone in the world says so. He is the uncrowned king."
The old man was silent for a while and simply stopped struggling. Continue to listen to the general in front of you and analyze the battle situation between the enemy and ourselves.
"Although we now have food and supplies, the soldiers are exhausted after many days of attacks, and are now surrounded by dangers. The Beiyu people have rushed to the city gate and set up camp. This looks like they are going to trap our Western Shu army to death. Military Advisor, Now, I have become a lone army."
Huang Daochong nodded without any fear.
"Behind, there will most likely be reinforcements from Beiyu, attacking Chenshuiguan from both sides. As early as the attack on Chenshuiguan, I had made the worst plan. But General Ma Yi, you need to understand that killing a sheep is like killing a sheep." Generally speaking, I have already raised the knife and pointed it at Bei Yu's chest."
After a pause, Huang Daochong said with joy, "Although the situation has changed, no matter what, I am waiting for this time to confuse Beiyu's defense. For me, Xishu, this is great joy! No need to worry about being trapped, Lord After getting the information, Dongfang Military Advisor will definitely find a way to take advantage of the opportunity."
Listening, Ma Yi also looked moved.
"General Ma Yi, are you afraid?"
"Afraid, I'm afraid!" Ma Yi raised his head and laughed.
…
In Kezhou territory, a group of 3,000 light infantrymen marched carefully along the front. The general leading the army was none other than Xu Changgong, the younger brother of the King of Shu.
Although there are only three thousand people, Bow Dog has tried its best to select people who are good at shooting. Moreover, each step bow has increased from the first two pots of arrows to four pots. I also brought some extra cans of fire oil.
Of course, for the speed of the march. He had to wear the lightest cloth armor.
"General Xu."
A scout rushed back and hurried to Gong Dog's side.
"The enemy general Jiang Meng is increasing patrols outside Chenshui Pass every day. Moreover, he is worried that we have reinforcements in Western Shu, and there are almost no posts five miles away."
Gongou listened silently. In the Jiangnan area, Xi Shu's military strength is already stretched thin, unless it is to let Miao Tong's navy go ashore and turn into infantry. But how is this possible? Miao Tong's more than 20,000 naval troops are almost the last line of defense in Jiangnan.
"General Xu, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, where is the city gate?"
"There are enemy troops under the city, so it's difficult to get close, but from a distance, it seems that the defense is adequate and morale is high."
Gong Dog was silent for a long time.
"In the past few days, every night, you will join me and shoot at the Beiyu patrol team. Remember to use the forest as a cover, shoot once, and then change places immediately. In addition, although it has stopped raining these two days, But the road is muddy. I have a solution—"
"I am waiting for these three thousand people to take advantage of the night to walk back and forth in the depression area not far away to increase the footprints in the depression. If so, when the secret sentries of the Beiyu people detect it, they may think that it is me from Xishu The army has crossed the river, making it easier for sneak attacks."
"General Xu's brilliant plan!" The scout looked excited.
"The enemy is strong and we are weak. There will be enemy reinforcements soon. Rush to Chenshui Pass on the other side. If the force of the attack is 10%, it will be even more difficult for Qingfeng Military Advisor. What we have to do , just to disrupt Jiang Meng’s plan!”
Gathered around Gong Gou, many good archers from Western Shu nodded seriously.
"It's a pity that the crossbow weapon needs to be transported from Chengdu. Otherwise, this time it will be of great use."
The repeated crossbows of Western Shu were not popular among the entire army due to their iron consumption. It is usually used during fights in dense forests and mountains. But no one could have imagined that this battle would turn into what it is now.
In the north of Kezhou, under Chenshui Pass.
During these two days, veteran Jiang Meng always liked to raise his head and look at the city gate ahead. He couldn't understand how Qingfeng dared.
With only a few days' marching provisions, he had to guard a big pass. What to eat? What to drink? When they pretended to be retreating, the food reserves in Chenshui Pass could not last even five days. What's more, this is an army of nearly 20,000 people.
But he always felt that Qingfeng was definitely not seeking death. Moreover, the Xishu guards on top of the city were in high spirits and did not look disappointed at all.
"Military Affairs Officer!" Jiang Meng turned around and shouted.
Not long after, a fat captain ran over in a hurry.
"How much food and grass are left?"
"Don't worry, General. Everything has been prepared for this massacre. The food and fodder hidden earlier is enough to last my army for three months."
Jiang Meng looked satisfied.
Regardless of whether it was food, grass, baggage, or weapons and armor, Qingfeng in the city gate was far inferior to him. Moreover, the little strategist is also on the way.
As long as a double attack is formed, Qingfeng will definitely die!
…
The intelligence from Jiangnan was finally delivered to Dingdong Pass after seven or eight days.
"The war in Jiangnan has changed." After reading the intelligence, Dongfang Jing's voice was deep, "Lord, I already understand the intention of the Huang family this time."
Xu Mu nodded silently.
The intelligence said that Lao Huang did not fight with Jiang Meng. After each suffered casualties, he took the opportunity to go north and captured Chenshui Pass in one fell swoop.
"What I didn't expect is that the head of the Huang family is really smart. He had already expected that he had buried a lot of food and grass in Kezhou. This time, the lone army of the head of the Huang family was like a nail, nailing the North On Yu's chest. His intention is to make Bei Yu's entire layout start to fall into disarray."
After a pause, Dongfang Jing continued to speak hesitantly.
"But my lord, have you ever thought about how one Jiang Meng could lay out such a big plan? Previously, when the sheepherder came back from outside, you and I both thought that this person had entered Jiangnan. But when I look at the counselors in the whole world, the sheepherder If the plan is prudent, no matter what happens, Jiang Meng's Eastern Route Army will not be in danger and become a lonely army."
"What does Bo Lie mean?"
Dongfang Jing was silent for a moment, "According to me, this kind of strategy is more like a means of winning... You also know that he always likes surprises, such as that time of a thousand attacks. What I'm worried about is that the head of the Huang family The moment we rushed into Kezhou, we had already fallen into the trap. Although it disrupted the battle, we were still trapped in the urn of Beiyu."
"I also know that the relationship between my lord and the head of the Huang family is extraordinary... But with the recent war confrontation, I'm afraid there will be another war disaster. My lord should stay in Dingzhou, why not... send Chen Zhong first."
"There's something wrong with Bo Lie's tone."
"If the person who makes the plan really always wins, I'm worried that the Lord will be in danger. But I also understand that deep down in the Lord's heart, he has probably already decided to leave."
Dongfang Jing sighed, "Whether it's me in Western Shu or Beiyu, the future war will become confusing with the actions of the Huang Family Master. Of course, for me in Western Shu, the benefits are greater than the Disadvantage, I think the Huang family leader also saw this."
"Bo Lie, the Huang family... have almost dedicated their lives to me, Xi Shu."
Just this sentence made Dongfang Jing's calm face become extremely moved.
