Chapter 1003: Falling Bird Ridge
In the original plan, Liu Yin was indeed preparing to besiege the city and send reinforcements, so he adopted the strategy of besieging Huguan City without fighting, but Liu Yin was not completely sure that Sima Jun would definitely send reinforcements, and it was completely necessary to prepare for both hands.

Regardless of whether Sima Jun's reinforcements arrived or not, Wen Yang trapped in Huguan City was already a turtle in the urn, and there was no chance to escape at all, don't look at Liu Yin's deployment of the army around Huguan is extremely loose, but all of them are stuck in the choke point, the reason why Wen Yang sent messengers is unimpeded is completely the result of the Shu army turning a blind eye, if the Shu army really wants the card, let alone a few big living people, even a mouse will not want to drill through.
The messengers sent by Wenyang went back and forth, and they had already been closely watched by the scouts of the Shu army, and the rescue soldiers were like fighting fires, and there was no movement on Sima Jun's side for so long, which was obviously abnormal, which meant that Sima Jun might have given up the rescue and would not send troops to the party again.
If this is really the case, then Wen Yang will definitely not sit and wait for the pot to be killed, it is inevitable to break through, and the only thing that is uncertain is when Wen Yang will break through.
No matter when Wenyang breaks through, Liu Yin is ready, if Wenyang breaks through, the possibility of going north, south or west is very small, and he will definitely go to the direction of Jizhou, that is, to the east.
And Liu Yin in the east has already deployed reinforcements, this ambush circle can kill two birds with one stone, if Yecheng reinforcements come, it is reinforcements, if Wen Yang breaks through, it will become an interception, 80,000 Shu troops laid a net of heaven and earth, Wen Yang is in a catastrophe.
Although uncertain, Liu Yin still issued an order for the armies to make all preparations, in his opinion, if Wenyang learned that Yecheng's reinforcements were not available, he was likely to jump over the wall in a hurry and break through in advance, and all armies of the Shu army must be fully prepared to not let one slip through the net.
This night the moon is dark and the wind is high, in order not to alarm the Shu army, Wen Yang ordered the horse to pick the bell and the title, and it is forbidden to make any sound.
The goal of Wenyang's breakthrough is the junction of the two armies of the Shu army in the southeast of Huguan City, during the day, Wenyang has secretly ascended to the heights to observe, although the Shu army has surrounded Huguan City on all sides, but this encirclement is not tight, between the two armies, there is a relatively large vacancy, and there, there is just a small road, which can lead to the southeast, if the Jin army wants to break through successfully, it is necessary to open a gap from here.
The breakthrough operation was originally the most difficult battle, leaving the cover of the city, the road ahead is boundless, and I don't know how many crises and ambushes are hidden, and this goes to Jizhou, you have to climb over the towering and precipitous Taihang Mountain, and the difficulties and hardships can be imagined.
But Wen Yang has no choice, if he is trapped in the lonely city, the final result can only be a dead end, the Shu army not only has a numerical advantage, but also has an invincible gunpowder weapon, if there are no reinforcements, the possibility of Wen Yang holding the pot pass is zero.
With sitting still, it is better to fight to the death, and it is better to leave early than to go late, while the Shu army has not yet formed a siege of Huguan City, it is the best opportunity for the Jin army to break through, and once the Shu army begins to besiege Huguan, and then want to break through, then try to climb to the sky.
Wen Yang showed his decisiveness and fortitude at this time, and he didn't even send scouts to explore the way without conducting reconnaissance, and Wen Yang had already made up his mind to break through overnight on the day he received Sima Jun's reply.
At first, the action was very smooth, Wen Yang chose this vacancy was very good, the Shu army camps on both sides were silent in a dark silence, it seemed that all the soldiers had fallen asleep, and the Jin army did not have any battle when they stepped on this path.
A good start is half the success, Qi Hong, Wu Mao and others were overjoyed, they didn't expect the Shu soldiers to sleep so deadly, and the Jin army passed by their side, and they would not notice it at all.
Qi Hong even had a plan to sneak attack the Shu camp, it was a pity that such a great opportunity was wasted.
Duan Guang, who was beside him, stopped him in time, and said in a low voice: "General Wen has ordered, don't startle the snake, this kind of extraneous thing, it is better to do less, everything is important to break through." ”
Qi Hong pursed his lips and said, "Of course I know the stakes, but it's just a momentary itch, just talk about it, you really take it seriously." ”
Duan Guang snorted coldly, ignored him, and commanded the army to move on.
Although it was dark and the road conditions were not good, the marching speed of the Jin army was not too slow, after passing through the defense line of the Shu army, the pace of the Jin army became faster, and they were not afraid to make any small noises at this time, as for loud noises and lighting torches, it was still strictly forbidden.
Under the silent night sky, the sound can be transmitted far away, and shouting loudly is very likely to alarm the Shu army in the distance, and the lights can be seen from dozens of miles, and it is absolutely forbidden to use it.
The Jin army walked dozens of miles of mountain roads in the dark, and when the day was about to dawn, they had reached the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain, and as long as they passed through the Grand Canyon, they could reach Jizhou.
Wen Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his choice is still correct, the current strength of the Shu army is not all put on the siege of Huguan, which gives him a chance to take advantage of it, this way, finally jumped out of the encirclement of the Shu army, although the next road is more difficult, but as long as he can return to Jizhou, there is still hope of survival.
Wen Yang ordered the Jin army to stop for a while, and after a night's journey, it was obvious that the sergeants were a little tired, so let them drink saliva, eat some dry food, and take a short rest, they were about to walk a more arduous journey, and it was extremely important to adjust their state.
Taking advantage of the rest of the sergeants, Wen Yang took people to check around, and through the morning light, Wen Yang saw that the canyon here was high, the peaks were numerous, and the mountains were majestic, which could be called a dangerous situation.
"Where is this?" Wen Yang asked casually.
One of the accompanying sergeants was familiar with geography and replied, "This is the Falling Bird Ridge." ”
Wen Yang frowned slightly, his name is Yang Yang, with the word bird, and this place is called Luoniao Ridge, which makes Wen Yang feel unlucky. "Why is it called that?"
"Back to the general, the peaks here are high and steep, and the birds can't fly, so the locals call it the Falling Bird Ridge."
Wen Yang sighed lightly, it was obvious that his good mood had been ruined by this bad mountain name, and he returned to the army happily, seeing that most of the soldiers had already eaten dry food, Wen Yang immediately ordered the team to assemble and prepare to cross the Falling Bird Ridge.
At this moment, suddenly countless people and horses poured out on the opposite mountain, and the general laughed at the top of the mountain: "Wen Yang! Look where you're still running away! (To be continued.) )
