Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 75 Resist
When Zheng Sheng saw this look, he felt bad, "My lord, I have a plan to break the Heiyun bandits."

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

"The thieves gathered heavily in Xuanyuan Mountain. Isn't Heiyun Mountain, the old nest, empty? Why not turn around and attack it fiercely? Once the old nest is captured and threaten their families, the thieves will be subdued, and Xuanyuan Mountain will be destroyed without attack!" Zheng Sheng said triumphantly.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu's gaze was still cold, "The scouts have already inquired. Heiyun Mountain and Sishui Fort are solid and clear, and it is not easy for our army to capture them. In addition, the army must be exhausted after rushing back and forth. If Xuanyuan Mountain bandits follow me, If we cut off the Wei River or capture Mi County, our army will lose ground in advance and retreat, and there is a risk of being overthrown."

Marching and fighting is not just talking on paper. To mobilize 1 horses, [-] civilians will be needed to assist.

The front line to attack Heiyun Mountain was too long, which made it more difficult to supply logistics.

At that time, the Heiyun Mountain thieves only need to harass the grain road, and the army in front will not be able to stand it.

Heiyun Mountain was able to repel Gao Li's imperial guards, indicating that the mountain was heavily guarded.

For Zhang Yu, there were too many uncertainties, and his entire back was exposed to Xuanyuan Mountain's soldiers. No general knew how to fight like this.

Zhang Yu's evaluation of Zheng Sheng in his heart dropped a little bit, and the disciples of Jiaoliang were no more than that, so it's no wonder that such a dangerous place, Xuanyuan Mountain, can also fall...

Main village.

"General, the enemy has not attacked, rest at Huangtengkou!"

"Explore again."

"Follow the order!"

"Zhang Yu has been on the battlefield for a long time, I am afraid that the strategy of luring the enemy will not work." Cui Jin reminded in a low voice.

"As expected of the governor of Yuzhou!" Li Yue suddenly felt that this battle was not easy.

The governor of Yuzhou is almost a vassal.

The last time Weishui faced off, Zhang Yu had the advantage, but he didn't attack for a long time, which showed that he was cautious by nature.

Such a person, a simple trick to lure the enemy is naturally difficult to deceive him.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Wei Shan said: "This subordinate is willing to lead an army to attack at night!"

Cui Jin shook her head, "Zhang Yu has been fighting for many years, he is not comparable to Zheng Sheng and Guo Ning, so he must be prepared."

"If he doesn't fight, we won't fight. If we drag on, we will win. The last pass is heavily defended. There is no room for loss." Li Yue quickly adjusted his mentality.

You can't deceive yourself and others in war. You can despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to it tactically.

Cui Jin cupped her hands and said, "This subordinate will do it in person."

Liang Xiaodao: "The subordinates feel that the Feiyuan Gorge before the broken tiger's mouth should not be abandoned lightly. The mountains here are majestic and dangerous. One man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it. We only need five hundred elites, and some bows and arrows, beating trees, and rolling stones are enough to withstand Zhang Yuyue. The subordinates are willing to lead an army to deploy!"

It was too easy for Li Yue to attack the mountains, and he didn't carefully figure out the geography. Liang Xiao lived here for more than ten years, and no one knew the geography better than him.

"Then work hard, Captain Liang!"

The people on Xuanyuan Mountain put him on a par with Gou Zhan, and it shouldn't be much different, whether it's a mule or a horse, they always want to drag him out for a walk.

Moreover, his family members are in the main village, so there is no need to worry about him surrendering to the enemy.

Liang Xiao bowed his hands and retreated.

After the arrangements were made, Li Yue handed over the defense to Wei Shan, while he slept peacefully.

As a commander in chief, the calmer he is, the more peace of mind his subordinates will have.

Xuanyuan Mountain is steeper than Heiyun Mountain. There are not many paths leading to the main village, and they are all guarded. Scouts are spread all over the top of the mountain, so they are not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack.

Although he hadn't fought much with Zhang Yu, he had roughly figured out his temper, and he didn't like to take risks.

Otherwise, when Wei Shui confronted him, he would have killed him.

This sleep was quite solid.

Wake up in the morning refreshed and clear minded.

It was quiet all night, and there was no movement on either side, which made Li Yue more sure that his previous deduction was correct.

Zhang Yu was difficult to deal with, and it was not easy to defeat him.

But war doesn't have to be divided into life and death.

From the perspective of the general situation, defeating Zhang Yu is not a good thing. He is the governor of Yuzhou in Jiezhao. How could Yecheng not respond?

In principle, Heiyun Mountain is still in the incubation period, developing in secret, and must not be exposed to Jie Zhao in advance.

So this battle is to endure, to see who can't bear it first.

Boom, boom, boom...

There was a loud sound of war drums from the foot of the mountain, and Zhang Yu began to attack the mountain.

The momentum was even greater than the previous few times, and there were shouts of killing all over the mountain, as if the whole mountain was shaken.

Li Yue washed as usual, broke off a willow branch, dipped it in some salt, and began to brush his teeth. In the Qin Dynasty, there were bronze toothbrushes and "toothpaste" made of chalk powder.

Of course, this is a thing for nobles. It is good for ordinary people to have a mouthful of gruel every day, and there is basically no need to brush their teeth.

After washing, the scout happened to bring back the latest news.

"General, the enemy launched a fierce attack with Guo Ning as the vanguard, and Captain Xu fell into a hard fight."

"Guo Ning?"

It's not that the enemies don't get together, this guy really defected to Zhang Yu, and if he is here, Zheng Sheng must be there too.

"Exactly, this person is quite brave, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Qingnikou."

"Let Xu Cheng retreat and give up Qingnikou."

"Follow the order."

If the land is lost, the land is lost, and if the land is lost, the land is lost.

There is no need to die on a pass that is not well prepared. Preserving strength is the first choice.

Two hours later, the sound of fighting rang out again, but this time it was obviously more subdued than in the morning. It lasted from noon to Shen time, and finally the sound of fighting gradually faded away.

"General, Guo Ning was repelled by Captain Xu and Liang at Feiyuan Gorge." The scouts came to report happily.

"Great kindness!" Li Yue slapped his thigh, and Liang Xiao really didn't let him down.

Smart people naturally know how to choose.

It is Li Yue's greatest sincerity to promote him as a captain, equal to Wei Shan and Cui Jin.

Some things are tacit, everything depends on the performance, and it is meaningless to say it.

Besides surrendering to Zhang Yu, would Zhang Yu dare to reuse a capricious traitor?
The first line of defense is Liang Xiao and Xu Cheng, the second line of defense is Cui Jin, and the third line of defense is himself and Wei Shan. The mountain is full of food and grass, and Xuanyuan Mountain is as stable as a rock.

I am already in an invincible position!

The opponent attacked twice more, but they were all blocked back.

The first day is over.

People in Shangzhai were panicked at first, but after the news spread that Zhang Yu was blocked from attacking, people gradually calmed down.

If you can stop the first day, you can stop the second day!
Li Yue mobilized the young and strong on the mountain to send food, grass and ordnance to Feiyuan Gorge.

He also slaughtered ten sheep, and more than 30 chickens and ducks were roasted and sent over.

From far away, I could hear the cheers from Feizaru Gorge.

The soldiers in the main village were full of envy, but they were relieved when they saw that Li Yue's food was only a can of corn porridge.

Early the next morning, the battle kicked off.

Smoke and dust billowed from Feiyuan Gorge, Zhang Yu repeated his old trick and used fire attack.

But this time it didn't have much effect. Liang Xiao had already prepared himself, and the Sishui passed through here, flowing in the northeast direction.

With water, fire attacks are useless.

After fighting all day, Feiyuan Gorge was firmly in his hands.

At night, the fighting stopped, and the scouts reported the casualties, "The enemy lost more than 62 people, and our army suffered [-] casualties."

Such casualties are acceptable.

On the third and fourth days, Zhang Yu couldn't make any progress and was blocked at Feiyuan Gorge.

However, due to the fact that Liang Xiao and Xu Cheng must be exhausted after fighting for many days, Li Yue replaced Cui Jin and Wei Shan.

One is to rest and recuperate, and the other is to train troops by war.

Elite soldiers are all made.
