Chapter 1091: Surprise Attack on the Valley of the Broken Letter (Medium)
The next day, in the big tent of the Qin army, all the generals gathered together, waiting for the main general Bai Qi to give the battle order.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although it is difficult to forcibly break through the Wild King City, this governor already has a strategy to break the enemy."
Hearing Bai Qi say this, everyone in the hall suddenly boiled, and Li Cunxiao immediately stood up and asked, "Governor, what is the clever plan?" ”
Bai Qi glanced at Li Cunxiao, and said word by word: "Break through the Hangu Pass and cut off the Yanglin grain road, and sooner or later the wild king will definitely collapse without a fight." ”
"What?"
Everyone was immediately shocked, they still thought that there was really a good way to start in vain, but they didn't think that it would be to attack Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass is one of the most dangerous passes in the world, although there are only 5,000 defenders in the pass, but it is extremely easy to resist ten times the enemy army.
Hangu Pass is several times more difficult to attack than Yewang City, and the Qin army has not even defeated Yewang City, but Bai Qi is going to attack Hangu Pass, which is even more difficult to fight? How can this be defeated?
"This, eh, Du Du, taking Hangu Pass can indeed cut off the grain route of the Liang army, but it must also be able to attack it."
"Yes, Dudu, with the current strength of our army, it is extremely reluctant to even capture Yewang City, let alone Hangu Pass."
"Governor, if you really go to attack Hangu Pass, I'm afraid that in the end you will only lose your troops and lose your generals, so you will think twice."
The generals spoke out one after another, but Bai Qi said unhurriedly: "This governor naturally knows this, Hangu Pass is indeed more difficult to fight than Yewang City, but not being able to defeat Yewang City does not mean that Hangu Pass cannot be defeated." ”
Just when the generals were a little dizzy by Bai Qirao, Bai Qi said categorically: "Everyone, please rest assured, this governor has a perfect plan in his heart, and he will definitely be able to successfully capture Hangu Pass, but now the only concern is how to hold Hangu." ”
Seeing that Bai Qi was thinking about defending the city, the generals were not as suspicious as before, after all, Bai Qi was never unsure of the battle, since he had already said so, then there must be a way to capture Hangu Pass.
"The strength of the capture of Hangu Pass cannot exceed 5,000 men and horses at most, otherwise it will be difficult for the ace army to completely trap the Liang army in Yewang City, and the Liang army in Guanzhong will never let Hangu Pass fall into the hands of our army."
After speaking, Bai Qi looked at the generals and said lightly: "With 5,000 soldiers and horses, capture and hold Hangu Pass for at least a month, I don't know which of you is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one took the initiative to ask for battle, after all, with 5,000 soldiers and horses to capture and hold Hangu Pass, this is almost an impossible task in their opinion.
"The last general, Zhou Yu, is willing to take on this important responsibility."
At this moment, the youngest Zhou Yu stood up to receive the order, and all the generals were surprised when they saw this.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Zhou Yu, you are still too young to take on this heavy responsibility. ”
"If the governor does not use the last general because of his age, the last general will not be convinced."
Seeing Zhou Yu's unhappy face, Bai Qi laughed instead and asked, "What do you have to disagree with?" ”
"Ambition is not old."
Zhou Yu looked directly at Bai Qi, neither humble nor arrogant: "Ganluo has twelve titles, and the lord has fifteen champions, Zhou Yu is seventeen years old, although he is not as good as the lord and Ganluo, but he still has the ability to hold Hangu Pass." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "As long as the plan of the Grand Governor can really capture Hangu Pass, Zhou Yu can hold Hangu for a month with 5,000 soldiers and horses." ”
"Okay."
A hint of relief flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and then he said lightly: "Since this is the case, the governor of Pontus will give you this opportunity." ”
"Where is Li Cunxiao?"
"The end will be."
"Zhou Yu is now ordered to be the main general, Li Cunxiao is the deputy general, and he will lead 5,000 troops to attack Hangu Pass, and there must be no mistake."
"No."
Zhou Yu didn't expect Bai Qi to send Li Cunxiao to be his deputy general, you must know that this is his first time leading the army, and he will be the first fierce in the world to be a deputy general, and this treatment is not even the lord.
Li Cunxiao is easy-going, and he usually takes great care of Zhou Yu, so even if Li Cunxiao's military rank is above him, Zhou Yu is not worried that Li Cunxiao will empty himself as the main general.
Before leaving, Zhou Yu also saw what Bai Qi said, and he would definitely be able to successfully capture the 'perfect strategy' of Hangu Pass.
What Zhou Yu didn't expect was that this foolproof strategy was not a strategy, but a living person for four people.
"This is Dugu's predecessor, who was my superior, and he will tell you how to break through Hangu Pass next."
Zhou Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, Bai Qi, the former superior of the Metropolitan Governor, with such an old seniority, was probably already working under the Duke of Qin in the era of the Yanmen Army.
Zhou Yu respectfully saluted Dugu's defeat, and after looking at the other three black-clothed masked people, Bai Qi did not introduce the identities of these three mysterious people to him.
It's not that Bai Qi didn't want to say it, and he didn't know the identities of these three people, Zhou Yu thought that these three people were Dugu's subordinates, so he didn't care too much.
These three mysterious people are Li Shimin, Li Maozhen and Li Mochou, and Li Xiuning went to find Li Yuanba, so he did not return with Li Shimin all the way.
Soon, the five thousand elites, including Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Battalion, had been assembled, and then secretly headed towards Hangu Pass under the leadership of Zhou Yu and Li Cunxiao.
Regarding the Qin army's division of troops in the direction of Hangu Pass, although Yang Lin in Yewang City was aware of this, he thought that this was Bai Qi's means to lure him out of the city, after all, he didn't think that the Qin army could break through Hangu Pass with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Seeing that Yang Lin didn't have any reaction, Bai Qi, who was already ready to deal with it, could only recruit back the ambushes that were ambushed in the major thoroughfares, and this also made Yang Lin secretly relieved, but he didn't know that the biggest crisis had been let go by himself.
During the rapid march, Li Cunxiao found that one of the three people around Dugu gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Li Cunxiao wanted to verify it in person, but was stopped by Duguqiu's defeat.
Seeing that the two were tense and about to fight, Zhou Yu hurriedly ran over to play a round, and a contradiction was temporarily resolved.
Afterwards, Zhou Yu said to Li Cunxiao with a helpless face: "Brother Li, why are you so impulsive, although you have successfully fused the double exercises, but Dugu is a great master after all." ”
A hint of pride flashed in Li Cunxiao's eyes: "What about the Great Grandmaster, if he really fights, he will definitely not be my opponent." ”
"Brother Li, they are all from their own family, why are they so stiff?"
Zhou Yu looked at Li Cunxiao and persuaded: "Dugu is a close confidant of Duke Qin, if you hurt him, it will make the lord embarrassed." ”
"Got it."
A hint of color flashed in Li Cunxiao's eyes, and he frowned: "I'm just a little curious about who that person is, and I always feel like I've seen him somewhere." ”
