Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1434 Sneak Attack Thirteen
This wave of operations by the Ming army not only made Yuan Shao incomprehensible, but also made many people incomprehensible. For example, the soldiers of the Youzhou Yan Army on the Sunset Pavilion were also a little confused.

"The upper west gate let go of the city gate defense?"

Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu peeped at each other, some couldn't believe that the Ming army was so bold.

"The Ming army dared to be called the most powerful soldier in the world, it really is extraordinary courage!"

On the contrary, the young counselor Pang Tong sighed a little.

"Mr. Pang, can you guess what the Ming army is planning?" Zhang Xiu asked directly.

"I can't see through!"

Pang Tong shook his head, oh, although he is resourceful, he knows what he is capable of. Given him a few years, he can hold on. But now, he is better than Zhou Guo. Talented, slightly inexperienced.

Whether it is Xi Zhicai or Tian Feng, they have experienced many battles and made countless suggestions to achieve this achievement.

He said softly: "I only know one thing. The Ming army may not have enough troops, so they put all their eggs in one basket and gathered their troops to fight. Instead of going to the west gate and the east gate, they didn't want to disperse and gather their troops. Let's fight to the death!"

"What do you mean, that means the Ming army is determined to fight the Hebei Zhou army!"

Zhang Fei's giant copper-bell-like eyes flickered to fight: "Tell me at this time, if we send troops to attack Shangximen, can we directly take Luoyang City!"

"Whether Luo Yang can be taken down, I can't guarantee, but there is one thing, whoever enters the pass first, dies!"

Pang Tong poured cold water on him.

The more this time, the more he wants to calm himself down.

Even if they were lucky enough to win Luoyang City, they would definitely be targeted by the public at that time. The Yan army is not the Ming army, and the Yan army does not have such courage.

"Then we will never be able to win Guanzhong?" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth with hatred, very upset.

"Neither!"

Pang Tong smiled and said softly: "There are still opportunities, it depends on whether we can aim at the opportunity!"

"Continue to wait?"

Zhang Xiu suddenly understood.

"Wait!"

Pang Tong nodded: "In this battle, we can stay out of it, but now we have been mixed in, so there is only one goal, and that is not to seek merit, but to seek no fault!"

All the generals in the battalion admired Pang Tong, a strategist with a somewhat ugly face but full of ingenuity.

………………

"Isn't Zhang Yide the master who can restrain himself?" Yuan Shao looked ahead with a gloomy look in his eyes: "They haven't sent troops until now, it seems that they can't be counted on!"

"My lord, although Zhang Yide is reckless and belligerent, he has quite a few advisors around him!"

The judge clasped his hands and said, "I can advise him!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "One of the people I am most impressed with is very young and has a strange appearance, but this person's ability is not simple. This person's name is Pang Tong, and he is the son of the late Jingzhou Confucian Pang Ji. A rare talent, somehow, was recruited by Youzhou!"

"Ok!"

Yuan Shao curled his lips, but he didn't care too much: "You don't have to care too much about a mere young man!"

Sunset Pavilion does not send troops.

But the war remains.

In the northern suburbs of Luoyang, the shouts of killing were endless, and the sounds of Jin and Ge fighting were repeated one after another, covering the entire battlefield.

The battle is raging.

This is a bloody confrontation, but in this way, the Zhou army will face the Ming army in an all-round way, and the fight will be alive. If the fight continues, it will be a situation where both sides will suffer.

……

The sun is about to set.

Before the sun set, the Zhou army suddenly called Jin to withdraw its troops, gathered its troops back, and the Ming army also took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle range.

Both sides began to lick their wounds.

Command.

Zhang Liao is still stable now, and he doesn't have to go to the battlefield to fight in person. Even the third army is still hiding, and he dare not release it directly.

After all, the war has only just begun.

But from the beginning, it was already very intense.

"How about the casualties?"

Zhang Liao looked at Huang Shao. Huang Shao's face was tired, with blood on his forehead and face.

"The casualties are not small. The battalions are still counting, but it is estimated that there are no more than a thousand people!" Huang Shao was a little sad and angry: "As long as the enemy kills too fiercely, our formation will be reversed before it is too late. So until the end of the battle, they were suppressed and beaten!"

The Zhou army is very strong. Even in terms of battle formation and individual ability, they are not trained as professional soldiers for many years.

"Hebei Zhou Jun is also an elite who has experienced hundreds of battles and has not been on the battlefield for many years. Naturally, he will suffer a bit in a fight, as long as I can hold on!"

Zhang Liao said in a low voice: "For now, the front and the left and right wings are not a big problem. Tomorrow, we can continue to close the defense line and operate Luoyang as a defense line. Maybe we can hold on for a longer time!"

"Why don't they dare to come in when the upper east gate and upper west gate are open?"

A general asked such a question.

Today, the Ming army had no choice but to let go of these two city gates in order to gather their forces and to cover up their forces. Even if the city gates were empty, even if the enemy troops came out from these two city gates, they would not be surprised.

However, when the city gates were emptiest, no matter whether it was the Hebei Zhou army, the Youzhou Yan army, or the Hulaoguan where the Wei army was stationed in the Central Plains, they did not dare to send troops to attack the upper east gate and upper west gate.

This made many generals feel puzzled.

"They dare not come in because they are not ready for street fighting and are afraid of losing money!"

Zhang Liao responded directly to this question.

"But we can't take it lightly!"

Zhang Liao's eyes were like lightning, and he swept them away, and his voice became a little louder: "Pound, I will leave Luoyang's defense tonight to you, beware of their night attack and destroy the city!"

"promise!"

Pound took the lead.

"General, when can we fight back!"

The Ming army has always advocated offense. During this period of time, they have been suppressed and beaten. In fact, the soldiers are already a little emotional.

"very soon!"

Zhang Liao replied softly, looking forward with his eyes, a little perplexed and tenacious.

He muttered to himself: "Xi Zhicai, it's up to you!"

The prerequisite for him to counterattack is that Xi Zhi succeeds.

Only by taking down the Zhou army's granary on Wangyue Mountain, then the Ming army can hold the initiative in the entire battlefield, otherwise, the counterattack is meaningless.

........................

The road is open, but it is easy to be followed no matter it is day or night. The only way to go is the mountain road, and the mountain road is rugged, so you have to be prepared.

In such a night, one after another figure passed through the jungle.

For the first two battalions.

One is Zhanhu Camp and the other is Modao Camp.

"Master Participating in Politics, why don't you take a break first!"

They were exhausted from the continuous rush.

Xi Zhicai took a look, the main force of the Fifth Battalion, Asuka, Chongshan, and Heijia, these soldiers are already very exhausted, if they continue on the road, they will consume too much energy, even if they arrive at the location, it will be difficult to be effective.

"Take a break for an hour!"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, and finally gave the order.

"My lord, this is the map after the scouts personally surveyed it. It's all in the vicinity. The mountain roads are rugged, the waterways are crisscross, and the terrain is very complicated!"

A lieutenant came over with a marching map, spat at him, and said so passionately: "If we want to get close to the target, I'm afraid we need to find a better way to go!"

"Go by water!"

This is the strategic plan that Xi Zhicai had made with Zhang Liao at the headquarters before: "Upriver along the Luo River!"

"If you want to go by water, what about a boat? We need a boat?"

"We don't have so many people, so we don't need too many boats!" Xi Zhicai shook his head: "What I mean is, some go north along the way, and some go north by boat!"

A two-pronged approach.

"That's a good idea!"

Several school lieutenants also gathered together to discuss.

………………

The sky under the night sky is a little cold and bleak.

"Get up and get ready to go!"

Xi Zhicai looked at his pocket watch, and drove everyone up cruelly, because he was running out of time and had to get close to Wangyue Mountain as soon as possible.

This mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is no scenery at dawn to help, a sneak attack may be a bloody battle.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"Flying Bird Camp has already prepared ships at the ferry, and they are all ordinary ships that have been scavenged from both sides of the river. They can only go north, and they are of little use!"

"Enough is enough!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes flickered, and he gave a low voice: "Leihu!"

"exist!"

Lei Hu folded his hands and stood by.

As the lieutenant of Zhanhu Camp, Lei Hu's reputation has become more and more famous over the years. After all, Zhanhu Camp is the most elite independent combat battalion of the Ming army.

"Your battalion goes up the water!"

Xi Zhicai spread out the marching map and swaggered with the light of a candle: "This location is about to disembark. Wangyue Mountain is originally placed between the Yellow River and the Luoshui River. We can't startle the snake!"

Luoshui is also a road, a road of sneak attack.

"promise!"

Leihu surrendered and took the lead.

..........................................

night, quiet.

Moon Mountain.

This crescent-like mountain is framed between the left and right mountains, relying on the water of the Yellow River and the great river, flowing continuously, surrounded by Luoshui, with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

A huge military camp stands here, but after its establishment, it is basically rarely seen.

This barracks is quite special. There are granaries built here one after another.

"Pass down the order, inspect the soldiers, you must be careful, don't let there be a trace of fire, once the water goes out, none of us can afford it!"

Chun Yuqiong is a Confucian general, a scholar, but he has a talent for marching and fighting, and his qualifications are very old.

Back then in Luoyang City, he and Yuan Shao were at the same level, and they were both one of the Eight Captains of Xiyuan.

These years of relying on Yuan Shao, he has gained more and more trust from Yuan Shao.

"promise!"

The generals became more cautious.

After all, Zhou Jun spent huge sums of money and built a granary at any cost. Many of the grain and grass in the granary were hoarded here.

As long as there is something that affects the problem of a provincial government, I am afraid that let alone these small soldiers, a lot of people will be sacked by then.

Chunyuqiong likes to do things by himself, not that he doesn't trust people, but that he has to see it himself before he can rest assured, so he patrols the camp every day.

"General, [-] carts of grain have entered the granary today, and there will be another [-] carts at noon tomorrow!"

"That is to be careful, and nothing will go wrong with the car!"

"Yes!"

Chunyu Qiong held the hilt of the saber in his hand, and wore a battle armor. He inspected the granaries one by one before returning to the camp in peace.

Back in the camp, a young man cupped his hands and saluted: "General, do you want to take a bath!"

"In the army, there is no need for this!"

Chunyu Qiong shook his head.

"Xiao Liang!"

Chunyuqiong took off his battle robe, knelt down, and suddenly said to the young man, "You should apply to go to the front line. There is no combat merit to be gained here!"

"fine!"

Chun Yuliang smiled, and said: "Defense is also a kind of military exploit, defending Wangyue Mountain is equivalent to guaranteeing the king's logistics, which is also a credit!"

"But……"

There are not many people in Chunyu's family, so Chunyuqiong has great hopes for this young clansman.

"Uncle, you are still in power now, and I am somewhat safe under your command. If I go to the front line, I can't say that I will be slandered by others, and I will die in battle. The ferocity of the Ming army is well known in the world!"

Chunyu Liang said with a wry smile.

There are many factions in the Zhou army, and there are many examples of insidious people.

"Since you say so, it's up to you!"

Chunyu Qiong's eyes darkened for a moment. This tribe gave him a lot of surprises. Not only are they thoughtful, but they also see things thoroughly: "If you have merit in the future, I will find a way to let you do it!"

When they go to the battlefield, they all want to make contributions and glorify their ancestors.

"Thank you uncle for the promotion!"

Chun Yuliang bowed his hands, his expression was a little excited, but under his agitated expression, there was a little bit of guilt hidden, but no one could see it.

"It's late at night, go back and rest, you don't need to accompany me again!"

"promise!"

Chunyu Liang accepted the order, turned around and left the camp.

Only then did Chunyu Qiong sit down on his knees, his expression was a little wrinkled, and he looked at some things on the desk with a slightly deep look.

This is Wangyue Mountain's defensive deployment map, but he always feels that something is wrong.

The defense of Wangyue Mountain was arranged by him himself.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a big problem, but where is the biggest problem? He has experienced countless battlefields and has a keen intuition, so when looking at this troop distribution map, he always feels that something is wrong.

........................

Chun Yuliang, who left the tent, returned to his own tent.

In his camp, there are more than ten soldiers discussing with each other.

"Lord Colonel!"

Seeing Chunyu Liang's return, everyone saluted quickly.

"Is there a result?"

Chunyu Liang's expression was cold.

"Catch the thief and capture the king!"

A young man said: "We've thought about it. There are not many people that Jing Wusi can mobilize. We don't trust others. For such a big matter, we have to do it ourselves!"
