On the 27th, due to the heavy fog after the rain, the two armies did not make any move.

On the 28th, most of the flood waters subsided, and due to the impoundment of water in the mountains, forests and grasslands, the flow of the river increased compared with before the rains.

On this day, Wang Zhong also returned to the defensive line and held a defensive meeting.

Lantian Pass is steep, and they are afraid that the Beifu soldiers will follow the example of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Chengzu of the Han Dynasty to break through and cross the pass from other directions.

Therefore, everywhere in the valleys, river valleys, ravines, passes, and gorges were guarded and monitored by the Wei army, just like the flood control embankment, any point of penetration, it means that the situation has deteriorated.

Fearing the north like a tiger, too many troops are scattered and deployed, and it has already committed a big taboo...... But what can be done?

This unexpected, and not too unexpected, rain will trigger more variables in the strategy of both sides.

Wang Zhong had a new view of the current defense, and summoned all the generals of the partial army to come and discuss: "The road is slippery today, and I thought that Beifu would send light troops to raid various passes. The light soldiers fought to the death, our army was inferior to Beifu, and the troops were scattered, and there was a tendency to be broken and swept away one by one. I want to unite the garrisons to prevent this. ”

Zhang Xiong, Yang Ju, and Qiang Duan participated in the meeting, and Yang Ju and Qiang Duan, the two kings of Di, had no power to speak.

There are four famous kings in Wudu, one followed Ma Chao to attack Tianshui and was defeated and died; Another Lei Tong supported Liu Bei during the Battle of Hanzhong and died in the Battle of Xiafen.

During the battle of Xia Xuan, Qiang Duan was originally neutral, but when he saw the defeat of Wu Lan and Lei Tong, he grabbed Wu Lan who fled to the area under his control and beheaded him and presented it to the Wei army.

The only person who could discuss tactics with Wang Zhong was Zhang Xiong, and Wang Zhong's consideration was very reasonable.

Without this rain, when the Beifu soldiers launched an attack, the various strongholds of the Wei army could also respond and support each other.

Now the roads are slippery, which is not conducive to the attack of Beifu, and it is even more unfavorable for the mobilization of your own troops.

The morale of each other is different, Beifu has the determination to overcome the weather disadvantage, and his own side is unwilling to leave the camp to participate in the field battle, let alone step on the mud to fight the field battle...... This kind of field battle, with a slight loss, really can't run far.

However, the sudden merger of the stronghold defenders will make it a little difficult for the defenders to adapt.

Zhang Xiong retorted: "The road is difficult to travel, which is not conducive to the migration of officials. The last general thought that it should be reported to the governor, and the governor will decide. ”

"It's okay, this matter was supposed to be reported to the governor, but it was a matter of success or failure in this battle, and it had to be spread everywhere and prepared in advance. so as not to issue military orders and make mistakes in a hurry. ”

Wang Zhong set the tone of preparation with both hands, and Zhang Xiong did not refute.

At noon on this day, Ma Chaozhong's army camp began to move slowly, and it took half a day to move fifteen miles of mountain roads.

At night, a thick fog poured in from everywhere.

Ma Chao wiped a pair of Xuantie Mandarin Duck Gong in the tent, which was a double-type weapon changed from Tian Xin's Mandarin Duck Double Whip Smelting and Forging.

Ma Chao's use of the steel whip should also be very smooth, and the use of the mace should also be very smooth.

This is a little heavy for Ma Chao before the expedition, and it is dull and jerky when used, it may be that the revenge is about to be revenged, and Ma Chao feels that his body is constantly giving birth to more strength, which can make this pair of mandarin ducks.

Normal people use whips in their own way of using them, such as Tian Xin, who slashes double whips like fast swords...... It's definitely untenable.

The soldiers came to the tent gate: "Lord, Captain Yang will come to see you." ”

"Biography."

Ma Chao hung the mandarin ducks on the shelves, turned to the seat, and soon Yang Wan, who was in his forties, entered the account and arched his hand: "The minister will meet the public." ”

"Wan, how many years have you been with me?"

Ma Chao pointed casually, and when Yang Wan sat down, Ma Chao's eyes swept over the bridge of Yang Wan's nose, and there was a wound on the bridge of his nose, which almost cut a pair of eyes.

Yang Wan sat down and didn't have much restraint: "Back to Zhao Gong, it should be twelve or thirteen years." ”

"Well, it's been a long time, I heard that not long ago, Chen Gong apologized to the Huya officials before the battle, and I also have a debt to Guan Long Shimin."

Ma Chao's tone was low, thinking of the defeat of Guanzhong that year, and he ran to the Qiangdi tribe to encourage all the tribes to fight for Liangzhou with him.

But the Haoqiang in the eastern part of Liangzhou were tired of the war, they catered to themselves, and suddenly rebelled, killing all their wives, concubines, and children.

It was a war in which there was no winner and both sides lost, so Xiahou Yuan picked up a bargain, and since then Hubu Guan has been famous all over the world.

Yang was silent, this war was equivalent to going home for everyone.

His family, father, children, and tribes are waiting for him, and if he can't return to his tribes early, with the young age of his son, it will be difficult to control the situation, and there is a danger of breaking his family and destroying his clan.

Yang Wan looked at Ma Chao, who seemed to feel guilty, strangely, and simply gave his hand: "The public, there is a dispatch, and the minister will not give up." ”

"Hehe......"

Ma Chao smiled heartily: "Don't drink with me tonight, and set off tomorrow to go to General Yangwu, he will send troops to break through several cottages of the Wei army, so as to facilitate the hiding of tens of millions." ”

There were several predetermined ways to send Yang Wan to the Wei army's defense line to instigate the uprising.

There is no need for the Di people to flank the Wei army, but only for them to destroy the pontoon bridge leading to Bashangyuan and cut off Wang Zhong and Zhang Xiong's retreat.

At that time, there was no way to retreat, and in the face of the onslaught of Beifu, it was difficult for Wang Zhong's partial army to retreat.

On the city, at this moment, Tian Xin put on the light silk armor again, and walked back and forth in the various barracks of the military camp in the city, where the guards were feasting, and they were all wearing specially made light silk armor like him.

Luo Qiong, Xie Jing and other high-level generals gathered in the camp to dine, most of them were solemn, Tian Xin should not take the risk at this time, compared to Tian Xin being injured and killed, even the loss of one-third of the Beifu soldiers is acceptable.

But only Tian Xin can attack and occupy Lantian Pass in one fell swoop.

Lantian Pass is in the valley, but there is a rugged mountain road that is not suitable for the army to advance in formation.

Therefore, many siege equipment for large-scale protection cannot be used, and in this case, cooperate with the skilled officials...... can only be reduced to a target.

When Tian Xin walked out, Luo Qiong couldn't help but persuade again and again: "Princess, can you wait for Lu Changshi to arrive before sending troops?" ”

"It's too late, tonight the Wei army is the most lax."

Tian Xin didn't want to explain more, as long as he was the first to break into Lantian Pass, then Lantian Pass would be surnamed Tian.

Raising his hand and patting Luo Qiong's shoulder, Tian Xin comforted: "I have excellent eyesight at night, if there are ambush soldiers, I can detect it, and there are big tigers and two tigers exploring the way in front, so as not to mistakenly hit the enemy ambush." If you can't capture Lantian, you will also capture the mountain. ”

There are 70 miles of road to Lantian Pass, and after passing Lantian Pass, there are about 90 miles of road to the north, and there are about 90 miles of road to get out of the valley and see the flat and wide deer plateau.

The troops were dispatched in the middle of the night, and the morning fog was covered, and they arrived at Lantian Pass at about 11 o'clock tomorrow.

Even if they can't, they can capture the sparsely populated mountain, disintegrate the fighting spirit of the strongholds around Lantian Pass, and facilitate the forced landing of follow-up troops.

Lu Yi arrived in Shang County at noon yesterday, and he was able to arrive in Shangluo early this morning, waiting for Lu Yi to come to Shangda...... It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to lead his troops again.

When the day after tomorrow gradually dries, there will be no large-scale, long-term fog except for mountain fog in the morning.

The fog was a barrier to the two armies and an excellent tool to cover the trajectory of the march.
