Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 984: Use troops like a god!

Use troops like a god!

When they heard these four words, the whole court was shocked. Everyone then realized that the King of Qin’s military report was a victory report!
Someone couldn't wait to ask: "Minister Dong, what's going on ahead?"

Dong Yue then explained it clearly.

It turned out that when Yuwen Ye led his troops eastward, he did not go directly to the aid of Cijian as previously planned. Instead, he crossed Cijian and went south along the Yishui River to directly attack Yique Pass south of Luoyang, where 30,000 troops were stationed. The commander of Yique Pass, Tan Chong, was a spineless person who was indecisive and had little strength. After a defeat in a battle, he immediately surrendered to the King of Qin.

Yuwen Ye, who occupied Yique Pass, rested his troops, but did not turn back to rescue Cijian. Instead, he sent another force to the north to attack Luoyang!

The loss of Yique Pass had already made Liang Shide panic, so when he heard that someone was going to attack Luoyang, he immediately closed the city gates and ordered Dagu Pass in the southeast of Luoyang and Mengjin Pass in the northeast to immediately transfer troops to defend. As long as these two groups of troops returned, the defenders in Luoyang City would rush out again, and the three-sided attack would be enough to defeat Yuwen Ye's troops!
However, these two passes are far and near from Luoyang, and the troops sent out traveled through mountain roads and water routes, at different speeds.

In the end, the 10,000 troops from Dagu Pass arrived first.

Without waiting for the reinforcements to arrive at the city of Luoyang, just as they were preparing to cross the Yishui River, Yuwen Ye's troops stationed at Yique Pass suddenly rushed out, and turned around with the troops pretending to attack Luoyang, encircling and annihilating all the reinforcements at Dagu Pass!

At the same time, the message sent by Yuwen Ye to Cijian finally arrived.

After receiving his order, Shentu Tai led part of the troops defending Cijian and suddenly moved out diagonally, directly intercepting the 5,000 troops heading south from Mengjin Pass. These people moved slowly and were already scattered. Moreover, before they came, they had heard about Yuwen Ye's annihilation of the reinforcements at Dagu Pass, which further shook their morale. So when they saw Shentu Tai's troops charging out, they didn't even pay attention to see who was leading the troops or how many troops the other side had, and they were directly defeated.

After this group was defeated, the two thousand troops led by Shentu Tai merged with Yuwen Ye's own troops, marched eastward, and broke through Dagu Pass.

He then persuaded the commander of Huanyuan Pass, east of Dagu Pass, to surrender.

At this point, the three major passes on the entire southern line of Luoyang were all breached.

As for Mengjin Pass to the north of Luoyang, after losing 5,000 soldiers, they heard that Yuwen Ye and Shentu Tai had joined forces to continue their march north. Some of their own soldiers fled, and in the end, less than half of their troops were left to guard the pass. They were like frightened birds, and could hardly form any resistance. Yanshi Pass to the south of Mengjin Pass also closed its gates after hearing these battle reports, and no matter what orders Liang Shide sent, it would no longer respond, and refused to send out troops.

After hearing this detailed battle report, the ministers in the court were so excited that their faces turned red. Some old generals laughed without caring about their manners and said repeatedly: "Good, good, good!"

"He really is a master at using troops!"

"With a great general like the King of Qin in our Great Sheng Dynasty, why should we worry about the unrest in the world?!"

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin is worthy of being the General of Tiance!" Hearing these words, Yuwen Yuan was so excited that his whole body was shaking. Since he ascended the throne, he has almost bid farewell to his military career. Even in the last battle of Longmendu, although he went to the front line, his original intention was only to persuade Jiang Chongen to surrender, not to really use troops. However, the feelings of a military general in his heart are not a status, which can be erased by time.

Even by just looking at those few lines in the military newspaper, he could imagine the scene of soldiers fighting bloody battles with weapons and spears!
Moreover, Yuwen Ye was indeed a master in military strategy.

He led only 30,000 troops. Even if he really went to rescue Cijian directly and joined forces with the few remaining troops of Yuwen Cheng, it would be difficult to fight against the large number of defenders in Luoyang and the eight pass cities. Moreover, if he really rescued Cijian first, during this period of time, no matter whether the defenders of Luoyang or the other passes sent troops to attack together, they would only be besieged and eventually defeated.

However, no one expected that he would divide his forces and rule them separately, and cleverly use the time difference in sending troops to various passes, and also dispatch Shentu Tai's surprise troops. No matter whether they were dealing with Yique Pass or Dagu Pass, they were always in a superior position in terms of military strength, concentrated their attacks, divided and defeated these cities. This level of troop deployment is difficult to achieve so accurately even on a map or on paper!

If not a heavenly general, what is it?!

At this moment, all the previous conflicts in his heart were successfully washed away. Yuwen Yuan smiled and said, "The King of Qin is a good fighter!"

Hearing him say this, the officials in the court were even more ecstatic, and they all echoed, "Yes, as long as His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin takes action, there is no need to worry about taking Dongdu down."

"With His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin here, His Majesty can rest easy!"

"Let's wait for the next good news from King Qin!"

When the court was filled with joy and excitement, Yuwen Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Then, what about the King of Qi?"

As soon as these two words came out, the Taiji Hall, which was originally bustling with activity, suddenly became quiet again, and everyone came back to their senses. Yuwen Ye's original mission was to rush to Cijian to rescue the King of Qi. However, instead of rushing to Cijian to rescue him, he also transferred Shentu Taihe and two thousand troops from Cijian. In this way, the King of Qi, who was defending Cijian, had even fewer troops at his disposal. Wouldn't his current situation be even more dangerous? ?
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yuan hurriedly picked up the battle report and read it from top to bottom. Indeed, there was not a single word mentioning Ci Jian and Yuwen Cheng.

So, in this battle, Yuwen Ye completely ignored Yuwen Cheng?
Yu Wenyuan's brows slowly wrinkled.

He was also a man who had fought bravely on the battlefield. Although Yuwen Ye's fighting style was powerful, there was a serious problem, which was that he completely ignored Cijian and even more so Yuwen Cheng, the King of Qi in Cijian. When he was galloping around Luoyang and cooperating seamlessly with Shentu Tai, Liang Shide could not have had no reaction. He might have wanted to avoid Yuwen Ye's troops, but Yuwen Cheng, who had already experienced a defeat and retreated to Cijian, was Liang Shide's best target. What's more, Shentu Tai had taken away two thousand troops, and there might not be many troops left around Yuwen Cheng.

Even if Yuwen Yuan himself was in Liang Shide's position, he would definitely send troops to attack Cijian frantically.

As long as Cijian is captured and Yuwen Cheng is arrested, it will be a serious blow to the Dasheng Dynasty. It is even possible that he wants to use the life of King Qi to threaten Yuwen Yuan and the Dasheng Dynasty.

In other words, Yuwen Cheng must have had a very difficult time during this period!
