Humane Yongchang

Chapter 458
"Kill..."

The smelly warm night wind, surrounded by deafening shouts of killing, surged violently under the night.

The white-haired veteran stood on a high hill with his sword in his hands, looking down at the battlefield below with a blank expression, his cloudy eyes were as calm as a bottomless ancient well, the ups and downs on the battlefield Even the flickering sea of ​​flames could not cause even the slightest ripple in his eyes.

When the shouts of killing on the battlefield below gradually weakened, Zhao Tuo, who was soaked in armor, hurried to the hill surrounded by Yibiao's short soldiers holding high torches.

From a distance, he saw the tall and straight figure with the white hair fluttering in the night wind, a look of awe flashed in his eyes, then he lowered his head, bent his back slightly, and trotted to the white hair. In front of the veteran, he clasped his hands respectfully and said: "General, the rear is ready!"

Hearing this, the white-haired veteran raised his eyelids to look at the moon-black and windy sky.

He lowered his head again, and glanced at the soldiers and horses of his own side who had retreated to their own formation on the battlefield.

"Then..."

He lowered his eyelids and said lightly, "Let's begin!"

The sound was as soft as a breeze, but fell into Zhao Tuo's ears like thunder.

His whole body trembled suddenly, his waist that had never been straight bent straight down, and he responded loudly with chills on his back: "Here!"

After saying that, he got up and rushed down the hill, walking faster and faster, more and more chaotic...

The white-haired veteran seemed to have never seen him, his lowered eyes were fixedly looking at the Han army camp crawling on the impact plain in the distance.

……

On the other side, Chen Sheng and Ji Bu were still buried in front of the war chess sand table, deducing the real intention of the enemy to attack the camp.

"Report..."

The messenger rushed into the tent with an energetic announcement, and saluted with fists together: "My lord, the forward of our army has successfully repelled the incoming enemy army, and the scouts have re-established an early warning mechanism for ten miles around the camp..."

At this point in the harassment war, it was almost over.

If the fight continues, it will no longer be a harassment war, but a decisive battle!

But Chen Sheng always felt that this battle was not quite right...

Ji Bu also felt it. He glanced at the sand table and asked uncertainly, "Could it be that this is the Yongzhou Army's plan to exhaust the troops?"

As soon as the words fell, he shook his head and vetoed the statement himself: "There is no plan to exhaust the army in the evening, but it is not right to say that this battle is to test our army's defenses..."

To achieve the tactical goal of tired soldiers, of course, the attack must be launched at midnight when the enemy soldiers sleep the most.

Before it is dark, if you launch a raid, the enemy will naturally take precautions. Once you are prepared, no matter what tricks you have behind you, it will be difficult for you to make further achievements.

As for the tentative battle, this wave of anticlimactic raids is far from enough to test the combat effectiveness and deployment of their soldiers. You must know that they only sent two divisions of troops to fight against the incoming Yongzhou army. go back...

Chen Sheng couldn't think of a reason, so he could only order: "Explore again!"

"only!"

The orderly received the order with fists folded, hurriedly withdrew from the command tent, and conveyed the king's order to the soldiers and horses who were on guard.

In the current environment, "re-investigation" means to continue to be vigilant...

"you say……"

Chen Sheng stroked the hilt of his saber, pondered hard and said, "Could this be a trick of the suspicious soldiers?"

"Back to the king, the last general also has the same feeling!"

Like him, Ji Bu stared at the sand table intently and thought hard: "But I never imagined that they can use this battle to hide their intentions..."

This is also what Chen Sheng couldn't figure out.

The so-called tactics of suspicious soldiers are like smoke bombs.

Smoke bombs are not fireworks, and no one would throw a smoke bomb just to see the smoke.

Throwing smoke bombs can only confuse the enemy and cover oneself.

Then the problem is coming...

Their 15 soldiers of the Second Red Army blocked the only exit of Hangu Pass, and the Yongzhou Army threw smoke bombs into this exit.

Who can be confused?

Who can cover again?

"Report..."

Just when Chen Sheng and Ji Bu couldn't figure it out, suddenly another messenger rushed into the commander's tent, clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Majesty, eleven regiments of fast horses will return, and suddenly there are nearly a hundred ships of all sizes on the Wei River." boat, go down the water..."

After Chen Sheng and Ji Bu heard the words, they immediately looked at the northeast corner of the camp on the sand table.

Ji Bu hesitated and said in a low voice, "Could it be that this army is their killer move?"

Chen Sheng denied it subconsciously: "It's not quite like it. If the opponent's move is to 'conceal the sky', then this surprise soldier will come too late!"

The Yongzhou army outside the camp has already retreated, and all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the camp are still in a state of serious formation. At this time, even if the strange soldier on the river can enter his camp, it will not be able to cause any big storms. .

Putting on such a big battle, it can't be for them to perform a show for the Second Red Army...

Chen Sheng stared intently at the blue ribbon representing the river on the sand table, his brain turned wildly, and went through all the cold weapon wars that could be connected with the river in a very short period of time...

When his consciousness flashed to a certain point, he suddenly got stuck.

He froze for a moment, realized that this possibility was indeed possible, and then settled down to follow this possibility to expand and supplement...

After a few breaths, Chen Sheng was startled, and he lost his voice: "Water attack?"

Ji Bu on the side suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Sheng when he heard the sound, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

He personally inspected the terrain of the camp, not only not lower than the Weishui River, but also slightly higher than the Weishui River.

Although the height is not much, but even if it is only at the same level as the river, it is not easy to use the Weishui to break through their camp...

Before he could figure it out, Chen Sheng asked again and again: "Is there any abnormality in the recent rainfall? Is there any abnormality in the flow of the Wei River? Did you check the river carefully when you camped?"

His speech was so rapid that he spat out words "aggressively" like a machine gun.

Ji Bu opened his mouth several times, his face turned red, but he couldn't utter a word.

Since I can't get in the words.

I also don't know how to answer it at all!
Seeing that he couldn't answer a single sentence, Chen Sheng was so anxious that he was so anxious that he would tear up the handsome tent and plunder it on the Weishui River to inspect it for himself. He was forced to push back again.

'Time is running out……'

He bent his knees and squatted on the sand table, while looking at the terrain changes around the camp from a head-up perspective, he asked without turning his head, "Around the camp, which direction is the terrain higher?"

Ji Bu didn't hesitate any more this time, and replied urgently, "South, there are mountains in the south!"

Chen Sheng didn't hesitate any longer, stood up and shook his body, the black and yellow air that was as strong as the substance gushed out, tore the dome of the handsome tent, and turned into a shining black and yellow "Chen" king flag with a height of more than twenty feet, Tearing the darkness, twenty or thirty miles away can be seen.

Pressing the sword, Chen Sheng slowly soared into the air, tried his best to mobilize the true energy in his body, and shouted: "I am Chen Sheng, the three armies listen to my orders, turn around and face south, turn south, turn south..."

The shouts full of anger, like thunder, suppressed all the noisy voices, and spread throughout the ten-mile camp!

All the soldiers of the Second Red Army suddenly raised their heads to look at the Xuanhuang King Banner that seemed to be pierced into the black sky, and expressions of shock, doubt, enthusiasm, and solemnity flashed across their brows and eyes.

Chen Sheng said "Turn around on the spot and go south" three times, and there was no longer any noisy sound in the huge camp that stretched for ten miles.

All the soldiers of the Second Red Army stood solemnly facing the black and yellow battle flag that was almost shining!

With the development of the Red Army Corps to the present, there may be many soldiers who have never seen their general in person.

But there are very few red-clothed soldiers who have never even heard Chen Sheng's voice...

Never doubt the loyalty of the Red Army to Chen Sheng!
Three voices of "Turn around on the same spot and go south" fell, and Chen Sheng could no longer hear any human voices in his ears. He knew in his heart that the 15 soldiers of the Second Red Army below had reacted, and immediately stopped hesitating, turned up the volume again, and fought hard. Shouted: "Target in the southern mountains and forests, run in a straight line in formation, if there is an obstacle, just run through it... let's go!"

"only!"

The shouts were like mountains and tsunami, surging towards Chen Sheng from all directions, like the sound of torrential rain stretching for hundreds of miles, and also like the sound of thunder in the dry sky at the time of the Waking of Insects.

Before the call came to an end, the sound of footsteps flooded the night again.

Chen Sheng looked down at the army running below with the help of the human emperor's battle flag, and he saw black heads all over the place, running towards the south like ants moving their house. It's one after another...

It is not neat and orderly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mess.

But as far as Chen Sheng could see, he hadn't seen the chaotic situation of crowding and trampling.

This can't really be blamed on these soldiers. On such a dark and windy night, they didn't receive any notice in advance, and they didn't have any route planning. When they said they were going, 15 soldiers and horses rushed in one direction...

This is the Red Army, and the emergency assembly and armed cross-country training are almost at the cost of practicing.

If it were the other troops in Kyushu, even if the Huben army came, they would have to crash for several miles in a series of crashes.

Seeing the dark crowd of people continuously flowing from below him to the south, Chen Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Weishui.

He is now shouldering the important task of lighting the camp, so he cannot go to the Wei River to see it.

But he dared to bet that those hundreds of ships, big and small, were all loaded with stones and trees...

If he lost the bet, he would lose face and money.

But if he wins the bet, what he wins is the lives of 15 soldiers of the Second Red Army!

'In the end, I'm still careless! '

Chen Sheng was frightened and angry, and quickly replayed the poisonous plan from beginning to end.

Many questions that he could not understand before.

At this moment, take the result to push back, and it suddenly becomes clear in an instant!

Yongzhou, located in the northwest corner of Kyushu, has only two passages connected to the outside world.

The first one is Hangu standing in front of them.

The second is to take a detour to Wuguan and Lantian to enter Xianyang.

With the two passages, Hangu is shorter and the road is easier to travel. As long as Hangu Pass can be broken, it will be easy to supply food and fodder.

As for the Wuguan and Lantian routes, it takes two to three times the distance, and the roads are extremely steep and rugged, and only one person can pass through the narrow places, and small groups of soldiers and horses can barely pass, but a hundred thousand troops cannot pass at all!
Therefore, if the Han army wants to attack Yongzhou, they can only go through Hangu Pass! (During the Warring States period, when the six eastern countries attacked Qin, they always attacked Hangu Pass. The first time someone took soldiers and horses to Wuguan and Lantian entered the pass, it was when Han Gaozu entered the pass, and Hangu Pass was blocked by people. , can only turn to Wuguan and Lantian to enter Xianyang, but at that time Han Gaozu only had a few thousand soldiers)

Since Hangu Pass is dead.

Then the place where the Han army camped when they attacked Hangu Pass was naturally dead!

When the army is marching outside, they are extremely particular about setting up camp. They have very strict requirements on the position, terrain, water source, and surrounding environment. It is not easy to set up camp just by looking for any place.

With so many harsh conditions ruled out, this is the most suitable place to set up a camp, and it must be here.

Ji Bu can understand things, how can Bai Qi not understand?

The Bai Qi in Hangu Pass, although not as domineering as the god-killing Wu Anjun in another time and space, is still an old bastard who has studied the art of war for a year. , but also more delicate, more mellow!

After finalizing the camping site of the Han army, and then looking for a sure-fire strategy to defeat the enemy based on the terrain and environment.

Choosing the method of water attack is naturally a matter of course!

Does the water attack require a time when heavy rains cause drinking water to skyrocket?
Blocking the upstream tributary, and digging it up again when it is activated, can also achieve the same effect!
Water attack needs to block the downstream river?
No need, pre-reform the downstream river channel to make the river bed shallower and the river channel narrower, and then completely silt it before starting, and the same effect can be achieved!

The most important thing is that although the height of the Han army camp is slightly higher than the river, it is far lower than the other side of the river. Once the water flow is tyrannical, it will inevitably pour towards the Han army camp.

At that time, Hong Feng will cross the border, and I am afraid that a single wave will destroy the camp...

What a trick to suspect soldiers, what a good way to hide the sky, what a good way to flood the entire army!
When Chen Sheng came to this point, he heard a muffled roar that seemed like a flash flood, coming from far and near from the west.

Oh, no need to replay.

He won the bet!

Chen Sheng turned his face away and looked towards the direction of Hangu Pass, his eyes seemed to pass through the space, and collided with the gray-haired veteran.

"Ha ha……"

Chen Shengming was so angry that several veins on his forehead and neck were throbbing, but his tone was so soft that he seemed to startle Night Breeze in fear: "I treat you as my compatriots, but you regard me as your chief?"

very good……

I hit you earlier, it was official business!

From this moment on, personal enmity must be added!

He lowered his head and watched helplessly as the sparkling black water poured into the camp one after another, submerging everything.

In the roar of the rushing river, only sporadic wailing of cattle and sheep can be heard...

……

On the high hill, the white-haired veteran looked at the black and yellow Hanwang battle flag that looked like a lighthouse in the Han army camp from a distance, and there was a trace of regret on his vicissitudes and indifferent face: "For Mountain Jiuren, all achievements fall short..."

The plan to flood the Han army was concocted by him alone.

The only link that can be called a flaw in this plan is the hundred and ten ships.

He spent a lot of thought on this, but failed to find a better solution.

He originally thought that diverting the attention of the Han army by attacking the camp with a large army, even if it was not enough to perfectly cover the ships, would be enough to make those ships reach the pre-reformed river when the Han army scouts discovered them.

According to his calculations, as long as those ships can only sink in the predetermined river, even if the Han army can react, they should not be able to escape the flood peak...

In fact, the progress of the plan is indeed according to what he planned, one step is correct!
The only thing he didn't expect was that Chen Sheng, the King of Han who was supposed to be in Youzhou, would suddenly appear outside Hangu Pass.

To reverse such a big game of chess with one's own strength...

It's really scary for young people!

The white-haired veteran took one last look at the Xuanhuang King Banner, and his old face once again regained the indifference of Gujing Wubo: "Return to the camp."
