Chapter 426: Xunyang Defense Line, Attack!

In Qichun City, Yu Jin is not here.

He sits in Jiangxia and strategizes.

The person in charge of Qichun at the moment was Wenpin, the deputy envoy of the Guiyi Army.

"General A Hui Nan, please!"

After sitting in Jiangxia for several years, Wenpin had to live a good life, but after all, he was a general and deputy military envoy. After getting a taste of power, it was difficult to extricate himself.

He had no choice before.

After all, without merit, one cannot be promoted to a higher position.

But it is different now.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to attack Wu.

And he is in Jiangxia.

What a good opportunity this is to make a contribution?

"General, please!"

Ah Huinan was welcomed into the city by Wenpin.

Before the war, the city was very lively.

Soldiers and civilians can be seen everywhere.

Either making tools or transporting supplies.

Seeing Ah Hui's confusion, Wenpin said at the side:

"Xunyang City is a fortified city, and it is managed by Lu Xun. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to attack it, it will be impossible without sufficient siege equipment."

Ah Huinan nodded and entered the government office with Wenpin.

In the hall, a table of wine and food has been prepared.

"The general is a brave general. This time he has brought three hundred elite cavalry. It is expected that those Jiangdong rats will not even be able to leave the city and fortress."

Originally, there were also cavalry troops among the civilian army.

not much.

There were only a few hundred people.

However, over the years, whether as a scout and messenger to deliver news, or as a vanguard soldier, harassing Soochow, a lot of losses were lost, but there was no replacement.

The hundreds of cavalry troops were almost gone.

As a result, on the border between Han and Wu, the Han army was at a disadvantage in its scouting and ranger warfare.

"That's why I came here. The little Wu Kingdom is ridiculous. Wait until I lead my troops and kill them all!"

Wenpin poured wine for Ah Huinan and said, "The governor of Wu State, Lu Xun, is still somewhat capable. The general must not fall into Wu State's plan."

Ah Hui nodded.

"I know."

He has well-developed limbs, but his mind is not simple.

Any ordinary plan to gain Ah Hui Nan's life is simply a fool's errand.

"Lu Xun is in Xunyang, and Xunyang has a special geographical location. It is on the only road between mountains. If you want to go down the river, you must get through Xunyang!"

Xunyang is sandwiched between the Dabie Mountains and the Luoxiao Mountains, leaving a corridor hundreds of miles wide.

Hundreds of miles wide, it is naturally difficult to defend.

But Lu Xun naturally would not spread his troops over a hundred miles.

He built walled fortresses and even mountain fortresses on the only way he could pass through, as if he wanted to fight the Han army to the death.

If the Han army wants to survive Xunyang safely, they must knock down these mountain cities and fortresses one by one. Otherwise, the army's logistics will definitely be cut off.

But the time it takes and the price we have to pay to knock down the fortresses and mountain cities one by one is too great.

"And according to the news I know, Lu Xun has laid hidden stakes on the river and locked the river across the river. It is impossible for the navy to attack."

After listening to Wenpin's words, Ah Huinan realized that it was not that easy to attack Wu State this time.

"General, please come."

Although the two of them only had a few bites of food and wine, they were both working people. After chatting and getting excited, they immediately walked to the map from Qichun to Xunyang on the wall of the lobby. "I have sent scouts to investigate the situation before. At the very least, they have built strongholds on Banbi Mountain and Yuping Mountain. These two places will choke the general. Unless he is knocked down, the warship cannot enter the river at all."

The solitary peak of Banbi Mountain rises high, the cliff is like a cut, and it stands abruptly in the middle of the river, standing like a pass. It forms an angle with Yuping Mountain on the north bank, creating a dangerous situation.

In later generations, it became a famous battlefield for the Taiping Army to block the Qing troops.

"This is the place that must be conquered. In addition, Wu's navy is unparalleled in the world, and Lu Xun also cleverly used the courage of Wu's navy to incorporate Nansi Lake, Chi Lake, and Wushan Lake into the river. This means that Wu's army's The speed of support is extremely fast. If we attack the Wu army's stronghold in Yuping Mountain and Banbi Mountain, reinforcements from the Wu army will arrive within a day or two."

The implication is that if the stronghold cannot be captured in a day or two, it will be completely impossible to capture it.

Wu State has the advantage of the navy, and now Lu Xun's move basically brings out all the advantages of the navy.

The Wu army took root at key points between Qichun and Xunyang. No matter where the Han army attacked, the Wu army could support it immediately and gain numerical advantage.

After all, Ah Huinan was not a master of tactics. When he heard this, he was already confused.

"What does the deputy military envoy mean?"

"My idea is this. There are two options. The first is a stupid way to knock down Wu's strongholds one by one. No matter how fast Wu's reinforcements are, they can't offset the gap in strength. If this is the case, our army will The loss must be huge and a lot of time will be wasted.

The second method is to feint to attack one place, attracting the Wu army to rescue them, and then attack other mountain cities and fortresses with the main force. Of course, this strategy may not be effective. Therefore, I have a dangerous move, which is to select elite people to wait for the feint attack. After one side attracted the main force of the Wu army, they immediately headed towards Jianye. Instead of attacking the mountain city, they directly captured the king because they lost food to the enemy! "

Capture the king directly?

Is this a decapitation tactic?

It's just that there will be soldiers guarding Jianye City!

Moreover, Jianye City is also a big city. If these people go deep alone, the possibility of capturing the king is not high, but the possibility of the entire army being annihilated is not small.

Even a very nervous person like Ah Hui-nan felt that this method was too crazy.

"If this battle succeeds, it will be able to accomplish great feats. If it fails, it will also draw down the Wu army's energy. When I, the great Han, attack Wu, it will be easier to break through the Xunyang defense line."

Ah Hui murmured, shook his head, and said: "This strategy should be discussed with His Highness first. The deployment of Wu Army's troops is still unclear. I will lead my elite cavalry to explore Wu Army's intelligence first."

Even if they want to use Wenpin's dangerous plan, they still need to find out Wu Jun's arrangement on the front line of Xunyang.

Wenpin also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

After all, there is still more than a month and almost two months before the defeat of Wu.

Hopefully, within the next month or two, he will have more ready.

If the defeat of Wu is successful!

With his merits as a civil servant, he was finally able to gain a firm foothold in the Han Dynasty's court.

After a feast.

The next day.

Ah Huinan led three hundred cavalry troops out of Qichun City and ran towards Xunyang.

Along the way, Ah Huinan spread out the cavalry and searched for information.

Needless to say, when encountering Wu scouts, they all swarm up and encounter the Wu army's fortress or cottage. They look at the records outside and occasionally provoke the Wu army to come out from the fortress and cottage.

But the success rate is a bit impressive.

Most of the Wu army huddled in the mountain fort and did not come out at all.

Only a small number of defenders with relatively large numbers dared to send out three to four hundred men to fight against Ah Hui Nan.

However.

How brave is Ah Hui'nan?

These Wu troops who went out to fight were basically smashed to pieces by the humanoid Gundam Ah Huinan.

They even destroyed a Wu Jun stronghold.

Late at night, Ah Huinan led the army back to the city.

Today's results can be described as quite fruitful.

Break down a stronghold and kill hundreds of people.

I found out a lot of the details of Wu Jun's cottage fortress.

On the blank map, cottages and fortresses began to be marked densely.

The battlefield that was originally foggy finally became clearer.
