Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 245 The Forgotten Passage
Although Chen Ying has never commanded a siege operation, it doesn't mean he can't.If they were to attack Chang'an, Chen Ying wouldn't even touch Chang'an City without a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, given the support and morale of the Chang'an defenders.But seeing the towering and majestic Yanmen Pass, Chen Ying felt that if he didn't throw tens of thousands under Yanmen Pass, he might have no hope of success.

"It's not easy to fight!" Liu Tongtong said with a bitter face: "It seems that Liu Wuzhou is very well prepared..."

Chen Ying looked at Liu Tong and said, "Is there a way to go around?"

Liu Tong looked at Chen Ying in disbelief and said, "If Yanmen Pass can be bypassed, is there any point in Yanmen Pass?"

Chen Ying felt inexplicable when he heard this.In the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the aggression of the Mongolian army, the north continued to set up dangerous gates and build defense lines, forming the outer and inner sides.The inner part refers to the inner line of the Great Wall starting from Pianguan County in Shanxi, passing through Shenchi, Ningwu, Daixian, Shuoxian, and Yuxian County in Hebei, to Yanqing County in Hebei, winding more than 1000 kilometers.On this line of defense, the fort was created and the army was stationed.The three passes of Bauhinia, Daoma, and Juyong are called the inner three passes.The three passes of Biantou, Ningwu and Yanmen are called the Three Outer Passes.Among the three outer passes, Biantou is the extreme side, and Yanmen is the main point, while Ning Wujie is the second pass, controlling the head of the inner side, the situation is particularly important.

In fact, Chen Ying did not know that Pianguan was first built during the Five Dynasties, and Liu Chong built Piantouzhai in Han Guangling (on a mountain ridge one mile east of Pianguan today) when he proclaimed himself emperor in Jinyang.In this day and age, there is not even a shadow of Pian Guan.As for Ningwu Pass, it was established in the Ming Dynasty.That is to say, the outer three passes, except for Yanmen Pass, the other two passes have no shadow yet.

"It's good to be forgotten!" Chen Ying said, "Ashina Simo!"

"The end is here!"

"Lingwu Youjun is fully armed, carrying half a month's dry food, how far can he march in a day and a night!"

"The mountain road is rugged, the road is inconvenient, and the horse can't run fast, but it should not be less than 150 miles!"

Hearing the conversation between Chen Ying and Ashina Simo, all the generals of the Lingwu Youjun became excited, looked at each other, and exchanged eager eyes.

Forced march?
Long-distance attack?

Catch the thief first to catch the king?
Although the Lingwu Youjun is the latest unit of the three armies under Chen Ying's command.But they are originally a nation on horseback, and they all have confidence.

Chen should unfold the map.From Yanmen Pass to Ningwu Pass, if you take the inside route, the distance is not far but two hundred miles.If you march by force, you can get there by gritting your teeth and persevering for a day and a night.If you take the outside line, the distance will be nearly doubled.To go outside, you need to go back to Shuozhou first, back and forth.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly.The distance of nearly [-] miles can be done without any effort if it is on the plains, but in the mountains, the difficulty is not so great.Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, and said coldly: "One day and one night, three hundred miles of mountain road! Tomorrow, at this time, launch an attack immediately!"

All the generals were shocked, fully armed, provided for half a month, and marched on the mountain road for three hundred miles. What are they going to do?Liu Tong looked at Chen Ying's finger, although Chen Ying subconsciously pointed his finger at Ningwu Pass, but at this time, there was no Ningwu Pass, but there was Loufan Pass.

Liu Tong instantly understood what Chen Ying meant. This was changing the Abandoned Yanmen Pass to Loufan Pass as a breakthrough direction.Although Loufan Pass is not as strong and steep as Yanmen Pass, Loufan Pass is not something Turkic barbarians like Ashina Simo can break through easily.Liu Tong is quite, if you give him three thousand soldiers and horses, relying on Lou Fanguan, he can let Ashina Simo's Lingwu right army shed the last drop of blood.

Liu Tong's expression suddenly became serious: "General, I am willing to serve as a military counselor with the Lingwu Youjun."

Chen Ying clasped his hands behind his back and said, "There are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the first. In the case of tight defenses, if you want to break through Yanmen Pass, you have to use human lives to fill it. The most taboo thing for this general is to use the blood of soldiers to dye red." My own road to promotion. Now Hedong is bleeding and Taiyuan is bleeding. As the Tang army, we are duty-bound to recover the lost land. Those guys in the Tang court only want to take off my head and seize my military power. In their minds, they have never thought about it. Hedong is a line of interest that our country cannot afford to lose. Once it is lost, Datang will be over. Now most of Hedong is lost, no need to ask, I am sure that some of Guanzhong have already started With Zheng Wang Shichong, Hebei Dou Jiande, and even Liu Wuzhou. They don't think about the interests of this country, I think about it! One day and one night, before Liu Wuzhou has time to strengthen the defense of Loufanguan, take him down Loufanguan. The Loufan Pass is defended by Liu Wuzhou's army, even if you hit me with your head, you will break the Loufan Pass! Can it be done?"

Ashina Sima said loudly: "Don't break the building, come and see me!"

Liu Tong also said: "Don't break the building, come and see me!"

Chen Yingdao: "Then get ready, replenish dry food, prepare equipment, and set off in half an hour!"

From this time on, Chen Ying's butterfly wings indeed fanned the entire history.

Liu Tong and Ashina Simo led the generals of the Lingwu right army to leave and go down to prepare.

Chen Ying looked in the direction of the pass, thinking like a cat scratching in his heart.

Partial pass only makes people forget.It is because Pianguan relies on the Yellow River. Generally speaking, whether it is the Turks or the Huns, they send troops in summer. When they can send troops in summer, the Yellow River swells, and a Yellow River becomes a natural moat for Pianguan.To cross the Yellow River by force is no less difficult than crossing mountains and ridges, but once the Yellow River is frozen in winter, the entire Yellow River will be full of loopholes, so the partial pass will be forgotten.

However, for Chen Ying, the Yellow River is not a natural danger, but a power booster.It is precisely because of the existence of the Yellow River that his troops in the Hetao area can support more than [-] troops with very little manpower.

Chen Ying looked at the generals under his command, especially Zhang Huaiwei, who was an old man who followed Chen Ying in Jingyang.However, if there is an advantage, it will definitely be cheaper for one's own people first, and Zhang Huaiwei is one's own people.Chen Yingdao: "Do you know this place? From here there is a valley where ten horses can run side by side. Along this valley, you can turn south and enter Weize Pass. Now Princess Pingyang leads the troops to stand firm at Weize Pass. If you are the first It must be a great achievement to appear in Weize Pass!"

When Xu Jingzong heard about Princess Pingyang, he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, I request you to accompany the army as a military counselor!"

"Can!"

Chen Yingdao: "Yu Guni, Zhang Huaiwei!"

"exist!"

"Lingwu Zuo Army's first and second turns to Chongfu, Dingyuan Army's second turn to Chongfu, headed by Yu Guni, Deputy Zhang Huaiwei, and Counselor Xu Jingzong for military affairs! Go south along Hanguangling to support Weizeguan!"

……

Half an hour later, more than [-] troops left Yanmen Pass successively from the seven Zhechong mansions of the Lingwu Right Army, the two Zhechong Mansions of the Lingwu Left Army, and the second Zhechong Mansion of the Dingyuan Army.At this time, Chen Ying only had four Zhechong mansions left by the Lingwu Zuo Army and two Zhechong Mansions by the Dingyuan Army.

The number of people and horses has been reduced by two thirds.I just want to use a fool to see the problem.

Liu Wuzhou saw that Chen Ying's army formation had become much sparser, and said with a gloomy face: "Chen Ying's children have divided up their troops. Not good... Lou Fanguan."

Liu Wuzhou turned to Shangshu Zhang Lun and said, "Who is at the gate of the Temperance Building now?"

Zhang Lun said: "Huang Ziying's son, Huang Shizheng!"

Fan Junzhang said: "Not good, Huang Shizheng is just a dude, it's okay to walk the birds and amuse the horses, let him guard the Loufan Pass, and the Loufan Pass will be lost!"

Liu Wuzhou said: "Zhang Qing, it's better for you to go to the Loufan Pass, you must guard the Loufan Pass, if there is a loss in the Loufan Pass, our good situation will definitely be lost!"

"I obey my orders!"

Zhang Lun didn't shirk, and he took the order and left.However, Zhang Lun personally led two or three hundred personal guards, and did not carry any luggage and supplies at all.

Looking at Zhang Lun's back, Liu Wuzhou said with a smile: "With Zhang Lun here, the Loufan Pass will be safe and sound, and Chen Ying'er will be hit hard."

Fan Junzhang nodded approvingly and said, "Children Chen Ying is quite quick-witted, he can't be disobeyed when things happen, and he decisively divides the troops. Just this kind of determination is beyond the reach of his peers."

However, whether Liu Wuzhou or Fan Junzhang, they never thought of it.In fact, Chen Ying's real killing move is not Ashina Simo's way, nor is it a surprise attack on Lou Fanguan.His real killing move is instead a side pass long forgotten by Liu Wuzhou and everyone else.

The purpose of using Ashina Simo's [-] soldiers and horses is to attract Liu Wuzhou's attention, and at the same time, it can better cover Yu Guni and Zhang Huaiwei's surprise soldiers, so that they can advance into Weize Pass without anyone noticing.
