Strategists, as a rule, just say what the lord wants to say but is not easy to say with his own mouth.

While it is sometimes possible to come up with a unique approach to specific advice, most of the time, the greatest role of a counselor is not to make recommendations, but to increase the confidence or give up superfluous desires for the sake of the Lord.

Director Guan Jing is all here.

If you expect him to put forward a strategic statement, I am afraid that it will never be possible, but it is not a problem to enhance Gongsun Zhan's confidence. After all, in Guan Jing's view, the person he admires most in this life is General Gongsun Zhan...... Where in the world is there anything that General White Horse can't do?

If you say that you will capture Wuruan Pass, then you will have to capture Wuruan Pass.

It's just that Wuruan Pass doesn't actually need them to capture it.

Jiang Jin led the Wuhuan soldiers on the Yishui River to defeat Zou Dan's battle report to Wuruan, and Gao Ran smiled as he looked at the Gongsun army that attacked the city one after another.

"I'm afraid General Bergui is in a hurry."

Two days ago, the already fierce Gongsun army attacked the place more fiercely and was not afraid of death, and the number of elite soldiers in the siege army was also increasing.

Gao Ran, who knew about this, was not only worried, but relieved. There is still half a day, the mission of guarding Wuruan Pass left by the lord Yan Zhongqing to him was successfully completed, and thousands of enemies were killed before and after the defense of the city, and Yu Wan was wounded, which can be described as a fruitful battle; What's more, the most important thing is that taking the opportunity of Gongsun Zhan's siege of the city, he successively took turns to pull more than 10,000 new soldiers from the camp in Guannei to the city, so that they could have a good feel of what is called a battlefield.

Although the casualties were heavy, in the end, the arrows from the gate were not enough to kill, most of the soldiers were killed but not killed, and after recuperation, the 7,000 people who survived from the new strokes of more than 10,000 villagers could become the main pawns who had seen life and death.

They are far from being the best soldiers, but at least they have seen the stone cannons fall on their sides, and they will not be routed by a single charge of the enemy after going through the battle formation.

Ten days of training is not worth a day of defending the city!

Seeing that he was going to abandon this pass, Gao was a little reluctant in his heart. Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's attacks, Gao Ran ordered the defenders on the city to withdraw nearly half, and stroked the mottled battlements with his hand to Tai Shici, who ascended the city, and sighed: "If this Qingxu Mountain Road is a little wider, what if we are here to share the level with Gongsun Bogui!" ”

Tai Shi Ci laughed when he heard this, walked to Gao Lan's side and said, "When Fang was guarding the city, the general didn't say that. ”

Isn't it, just now that the defense has been adjusted to this time, Gao Ran has a lot of resentment towards this Wuruan Pass, and he can't wait to kill it even if he doesn't defend the city pass.

"People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless." Gao Ran smiled and shook his head, and asked Tai Shici, "Ziyi, can the army retreat?" ”

"The various departments have been waiting, and the two new soldiers have been escorted by the Yan Zhao warriors and slowly retreated." Tai Shi Ci knew that this retreat was not easy, and said to Gao Lan: "General, why don't you retreat by leading the troops under you, and the general ambushes the pursuers on Qingxu Mountain Road?" ”

Recently, most of Gongsun Zhan's subordinates have bypassed the pass from the rear mountain road, and the retreat of the soldiers and horses cannot be interrupted by a small group of enemy troops, but it is much easier to defend the enemy army on the Qingxu Mountain Road to fight an ambush.

After all, He Hun Lu is a Goguryeo, at least now none of them can trust the Goguryeo.

"No need, you set up an ambush in the mountains, fast horses and light bows, and retreat quickly...... Don't take too long, put two cold arrows and go to Yuxian, don't let someone wait too long. Gao Ran smiled freely, gave up the opportunity to Tai Shici to obtain military exploits, and said categorically: "Pass the order on my behalf, He Hun Lu will be in the front, Zhang Junyi will be in the back, and the army will withdraw to Yu County!" ”

No one is a child, you will not push me in this matter, Tai Shi Ci immediately hugged his fists and gave the order, the army gradually withdrew from Wuruan Pass, and walked along the winding mountain road towards Yu County, for a time there were only more than 1,000 new soldiers left in Tai Shi Ci on the city pass, and the camp under the pass was also demolished, leaving only more than 2,000 archers and cavalry soldiers who were ready to go.

The time for the retreat of Gao Lan's army was well chosen, it was in the evening, and the smoke of cooking rose behind the enemy army in the evening sunset, and the sergeants of the archery battalion also lit the smoke in order to lead the enemy army to attack the city...... Gongsun Chan is not a good man and a woman, in order to harass the tired soldiers guarding the pass, every time the smoke rises at the pass, he will send troops and horses to attack.

That is, Gongsun Chan didn't know that Yanbei had stationed 20,000 troops in Wuruan Pass, if he really only stationed a few thousand, he would really be annoyed to death by Gongsun Zhan!

In fact, this method of warfare is very effective in conventional warfare, and now it is not the era of etiquette in the Spring and Autumn Period, and now people are even unscrupulous in order to win, and the etiquette has long been collapsed with the fall of imperial power, and the world is chaotic and people are competing to eat each other, where can we tolerate the etiquette!

If you attack, you are unprepared, and if you are unprepared, you will be unexpected!

Cooking smoke together, Gongsun Chan really took the bait. Relying on the advantage of many soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates always took turns to eat, and the smoke of the cooking stove was lit and no longer fell, seeing the smoke rising in the pass, but in a moment, hundreds of people rushed to the pass, and the roaring stone cannon exploded again at the head of the city.

In the ten-day war, the wooden fence has already been demolished by the Gongsun army, and even the gate has been broken dangerously, and now the gate is full of piles of wood and boulders, which are piled up tightly, and the city gate is almost completely destroyed, not to mention that the two rushing cars were also poured with fire oil and burned, and it is hopeless to capture the city gate.

With several cloud ladders taking advantage of the falling stones to catch up on the city, Tai Shici roared angrily, and the sergeants hidden behind the battlements leaned out one after another and spread their already open strong bows towards the pass, and at the time of the landing, a Gongsun army was shot to the ground.

They didn't even have time to observe whether the arrows they shot hit or not, so they dodged behind the battlements again in Tai Shici's shouting, almost in an instant, a rain of arrows shot up, and the arrows collided with the battlements with the sound of gold and stone, and more than a dozen defenders who couldn't dodge were shot by the rain of arrows and fell down the city.

This is the last battle for Tai Shi Ci to defend the city, and the good fire oil, sheep stones, and even sickles and axes that have been prepared have been thrown to the pass by the defenders at this time, and these heavy weapons dedicated to defending the city have brought huge casualties to the pass in the blink of an eye, but the situation on the pass is not very good.

Several ladders were overturned or burned, and the siege soldiers slowly retreated with their wounded robes, watching the sky gradually darken, Tai Shici said no more, and ordered the left and right to close themselves like a tide and retreat almost at the same time as the enemy army.

Five Ruan Pass, abandon the guard.
