I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31 Target Huangluling

Xiangyang Road is so important that it cannot be without fortifications.

In the future, this will become the southern starting point of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the gate guarding Huangluling will be the famous Jinsuoguan in later generations.

Today, the predecessor of Jinsuoguan is Huanglu Fort, a Chengguan mountain fortress set up by the Han Dynasty here, which can house two hundred elite soldiers.

After Huanglu Fort, the Bingzhou Army stationed 800 elite field troops in Fenyang County to rush for reinforcements at night. In the next two days at most, reinforcements from Jinyang City could arrive at the foot of the fort.

This is a complete three-dimensional defense line. It can be said that as long as Huanglu Fort is not lost, it will be difficult for the Hu people from the Xihe direction to enter the Jinzhong Basin.

But now this line of defense was given to the Huns because of the wave of attacks that Zhang Yi took them out to send. I also knew that the Huns would not abandon their defense there.

Now there are an unknown number of Hu soldiers waiting for reinforcements in Xihe County outside, but according to Jin Fangyan's statement inside Taiyuan County, there are still two full and well-organized Qianqi raiding teams on their way back. In less than two days, will arrive there.

They had already been delayed for a whole day yesterday, and it would be difficult to arrive before the barbarians retreated to the pass today, not to mention the fact that they had to capture the mountain fortress in Huangluling and blockade the Xiangyang Road.
"Huang Luling, I want to take it down," Su Yao raised his head and declared.

Capture Huangluling and blockade Xiangyang Road?
The young man really dared to think. Zhang Yang pressed his bulging temple:
"Brother Xian, do you know how many people we have?"

"About two hundred." Su Yao replied.

"Do you know how many Xiongnu horses are still in Taiyuan?" Zhang Yang asked.

"About two thousand." Su Yao replied again.

"Do you know how far Huangluling is from here?" Zhang Yang asked.

"About one hundred and sixty miles." Su Yao looked at the map on the system and answered clearly.

"You really know everything."

Zhang Yang was surprised, relieved, and sad:
"Okay! Then I won't talk about such a distance. We are already more than a day behind, or the gap between the two armies is more than ten times.

Let's talk about the Huanglu Fort, but it is a dangerous border defense point that our Han Dynasty Bingzhou Army has been strengthening and repairing for more than a hundred years. The terrain in front of the fort is steep and difficult for people and horses to move. Even if more than a hundred times the force is deployed to attack day and night, it can still be defended for several days. .

Brother Xian wants to take over this place, but it is really a fool's errand. "

"But can I do it?"

A glimmer of light flashed through Su Yao's deep pupils. He understood. It turned out that this was a hidden challenge in the event, and it had to be triggered by a verbal battle.

"Can it be done?"

Zhang Yang was engaged as Wu Meng, who was in charge of military affairs in Bingzhou. Of course, he knew the meaning of it.

If they can only take back the mountain fort, they can control the mountain road from a high position and arrange dozens of infantry archers to suppress the enemy's baggage. If they don't take the mountain fort, they can only abandon their carriages and go over the mountain.

This is Huanglubao's control over Xiangyang Road.

But right now, this mountain fortress is in the hands of the Huns:
"My dear brother, don't talk nonsense. It's enough for you to have this heart. Don't mention it again."

Su Yao glanced at Lu Bu and Jin Fangyan again:

"You think so too?"

"I admit that my virtuous brother is unparalleled in martial arts, but Huang Lubao? Impossible."

Lu Bu shook his head. He had seen the fortress standing on the ridge. It was worthy of the Iron Gate of Taiyuan West Gate. It was an absolutely difficult fortress to attack.

And Jin Fangyan chuckled:
"Compared with Huanglubao, I'm more curious about how the general is planning to attack first and get in front of our army? You must know that King Xiutu has issued a strict order, and three days ago he asked the three people in Jinzhong to be responsible for the looting. The Qianqi team will gather in Fenyang County within 3 days and return to the royal court. If they do not disobey the order, you will bump into the Huyan Jun tribe on the road, and by tomorrow, the Bu Ye tribe may even be waiting for you in Fenyang. "

Jin Fangyan shook his head again:

"And if you want to bypass them, you have to abandon the official road and walk into the wilderness, or even cross mountains and ridges. In any case, it is impossible to make it in time."

Su Yao glanced at the three of them and nodded, confident:
"Zhang Zhizhang and everyone talked eloquently for most of the day. They only talked about three difficulties. The first is time, the second is combat power, and the third is the indestructibility of the mountain fortress. But in my opinion, all these can be broken with just one sentence - the fortress It’s all broken from the inside.”

"what?"

The three of them looked at each other, unable to connect this sentence with the three difficulties.

Su Yao took two steps and came to Jin Fangyan:
"Since you said that you are a loyal subject of my great Han Dynasty and you are forced to become a thief, then it is your turn to play your role."

"Ah?" Jin Fangyan was confused.

"You are such a madman."

A few hours later, on the official road, Jin Fangyan led the team on horseback. Not far away, he could already see the scouts behind Huyan Junbu's palace.

From time to time, he would look back and observe Su Yao who was following him. He was both admired and fearful of this bold man, and the backs of his nervous palms were sweaty.

"I'm making the best use of everything, aren't I?"

Su Yao's strategy is actually very simple.

As we all know, the marching speed of an army is determined by the slowest unit in the team. If Hu Qi fled with all his strength, it might be more difficult for him to pursue him at this moment, but these fully loaded plunderers had to carry not only their belongings, but also their belongings. To escort the captured people, Su Yao would definitely be able to catch up as long as he dispatched all his troops.

As for the disparity in numbers and combat power between the two sides, Su Yao was not prepared to shoot at them with a full complement of Hun horse archers in the fields of the Jinzhong Basin.

Now that the Xiongnu's authentic vulture shooter was here and the Tataro tribe had been defeated, Su Yao made use of the Hu uniforms and equipment he had found, borrowed troops from Zhang Yang, and brought 83 people who were proficient in Hu in one go. They were equipped with elite soldiers from the north who had good language and riding skills, and they were equipped with one man and three horses, and they rode at full speed.

The distance of one hundred and sixty miles can be reached tonight at the speed they are marching at.

So in the end, as long as Jin Fangyan can be used to successfully deceive his fellow barbarians, most of the matter will be done.

Once Huanglu Fort is captured, the return route of these Huns will be completely cut off. For this task, Su Yao fought fiercely with Zhang Yang before winning:

"For the sake of our future, Zhang is betting on answering your letter.

Dear brother, you must take Huanglu Fort and hold on for three days. At that time, I will definitely invite reinforcements from the Jinyang County Sheriff! "

After that, Zhang Yang parted ways with Su Yao and rushed to Jinyang to ask for help, while Lu Bu temporarily stayed in Wubao due to the unrecovered old injury. At the same time, he was also wary of the deceitful accident that Jin Fangyan said.

"You know what to do next? Don't forget that our interests are the same. Helping us is helping yourself."

Looking at the barbarians getting closer and closer, Su Yao lightly reminded Jin Fangyan:
"If you dare to betray us, I guarantee you won't have a chance to say a second word."

Jin Fangyan swallowed his saliva and was about to argue when he suddenly saw the scouts of Huyan Jun's tribe in front of him discovering them.

The barbarian scouts, a group of five people, stared at them in a tight formation, gesturing from a distance to ask them to stop, and then detached a group of horses and came to ask questions:
“Everyone stop!

Are you from the Tatar Club?

Stop here and don't disturb our march. "
