Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

However, as Wang Hong had just finished speaking and Wei Xiaokuan was about to tell us his strategy, a spy broke in through the gate and brought news of the crisis at Xuanyuan Pass.

Although Wang Yu already knew about this through the plot, when it really happened to him, he still had the urge to behead all the Han army spies.

These guys are totally a bunch of pig teammates.

However, Wang Yu also knew that the time had come for him to truly make a contribution. Once Xuanyuan Pass was lost, the huge city of Luoyang would only have Guangcheng Pass as its only gate.

Wang Hong, the commander-in-chief on the front line, was actually subject to great restrictions, because the only army he could directly manage was the 300,000-strong army in Hulao Pass.

However, for other passes, Wang Hong, as the Grand Commander, only has the power of command but not the power of transfer or dismissal.

However, Wang Yu has this right, after all, he has the Shangfang Zhanma Sword, but the key is that this thing is not something Wang Yu can use casually. Once Wang Yu uses it improperly, it will easily leave a handle.

So, even if Wang Yu had the Shangfang Zhanma Sword, he only used it as a ceremonial weapon and did not really use it. But now, it seems that it is time to use it.

At this time, after Wang Hong knew the crisis that Xuanyuan Pass would face, he handed over the matter of rescuing Xuanyuan Pass to Wang Yu, while he listened to Wei Xiaokuan's strategy to defeat the enemy.

Wei Xiaokuan's strategy is similar to that of Liu Bowen in the original novel. After all, there is not much difference in the intelligence of the two.

Wei Xiaokuan's strategy was to use part of the cavalry to support Xuanyuan Pass. After failing to capture the pass, the enemy would be more anxious, and at this time the Han cavalry would immediately take the initiative to attack, and the Yellow Turbans would definitely come to fight.

When Wei Xiaokuan said this, it immediately aroused Qin Hao's question.

"General Wei, I have a question. Since the Yellow Turbans knew that our army was sending out cavalry, even if they were eager to seize the official positions, why would they engage in a head-on battle with our army?" Qin Hao asked with a frown.

"Of course we will have a head-on battle!"

Wei Xiaokuan smiled confidently, then walked to the map and pointed, and the place he pointed to was Kaifeng.

"As long as the location of the decisive battle is set here, the Yellow Turbans will definitely fight a decisive battle with our army." Wei Xiaokuan said confidently.

Kaifeng in the late Han Dynasty was not the Bianjing of the Northern Song Dynasty, but just a relatively prosperous county town outside Luoyang. Because it was located outside the eight-pass defense zone, it has now been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

"That's right. Kaifeng is close to Chenliu. The Yellow Turbans have enough time to send more troops to encircle and suppress our cavalry." Qin Hao analyzed the situation and then asked Wei Xiaokuan, "But what good will this do for our army?"

"Of course there are benefits!" A cold light flashed in Wei Xiaokuan's eyes, and then he sneered: "You can see that Kaifeng has geographical advantages for our army."

"The terrain here is very flat, very suitable for cavalry combat. Our cavalry can use this terrain to conduct mobile warfare with the Yellow Turbans. When the battle is halfway through, another cavalry unit of our army will join in. Then..."

There was basically no need for Wei Xiaokuan to say the following words, everyone knew that the result would be a crushing defeat.

Wei Xiaokuan had already said this, so Wang Hong naturally knew what he should do, so he asked Wang Yu to dispatch cavalry to support Xuanyuan Pass! Wang Yu nodded and immediately ordered Yuchi Gong to be the main general, Lu Bu and Xiao Tianfeng to be the deputy generals, Yu Juluo, Feng Xinglie, Liu Guang, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei to be the auxiliary generals, and to lead a total of 36,000 cavalry from Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Hedong to support Xuanyuan Pass and then go out of the pass to provoke a battle.

"I obey your command!" Yuchi Gong immediately agreed. Although Lu Bu felt a little disappointed about this, he could do nothing about it.

After all, not only was Yuchi Gong's ability to command cavalry far superior to his, his martial arts skills were also as strong as his. Even if Lu Bu wanted to defeat Yuchi Gong, it would not be an easy task.

Seeing that his lord handed over the command of the cavalry to Yuchi Gong, Wei Xiaokuan could not help but nod in his heart. By combining Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, Yu Juro's Hedong Army, Liu Guang's Youzhou cavalry and Di Qing's cavalry together, he would be able to command them better, which would surely be effective in the decisive battle.

At this step, after receiving Wang Yu's order, Yuchi Gong immediately led Xiao Tianfeng, Lu Bu, Feng Xinglie and other generals and strode out.

After Xiao Tianfeng and many other generals gathered their cavalry, they immediately headed straight for Xuanyuan Pass in the southeast under the leadership of Yuchi Gong.

"General Yuchi Gong, although you led 36,000 cavalrymen south this time, there are still more than 40,000 cavalrymen inside the pass!"

"The Yellow Turban Army has been trying its best to attack Hulao Pass these days, but they have been unable to take it for a long time, so their military strength is naturally not as good as before. Zhang Jue certainly did not expect that our army would suddenly attack at this time."

"Therefore, as long as our army takes advantage of this opportunity and uses cavalry to attack the Yellow Turban Army's formation, we will surely be able to defeat the Yellow Turbans." Wei Xiaokuan offered another suggestion.

"General Wei, are you being too optimistic?" Dong Zhuo questioned, "General, you should know that the terrain in front of Hulao Pass is narrow and can only accommodate 5,000 cavalry at most."

"And the enemy's commander Xiang Yan is no ordinary man. If we only rely on this little force, I really don't think we can defeat the 50,000 Yellow Turbans outside the city."

As Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong, questioned Wei Xiaokuan, the generals in the army who were not optimistic about this plan also spoke out. In their opinion, even if cavalry had an advantage over infantry in combat, they should not forget that the Yellow Turbans also had cavalry.

Moreover, when facing an enemy that is ten times their size, no matter how skilled the Han cavalry is, it would be impossible to disrupt the enemy's formation.

Wei Xiaokuan had anticipated the opposition from the crowd, but at this moment, he still looked unconcerned. However, since so many people opposed it, he naturally had to speak up and explain.

However, before he could explain, Qin Hao on the side spoke first and said bluntly that if the impostor could be killed on the spot, the Yellow Turban Army would be defeated without a fight!

When everyone heard this, a glimmer of enlightenment suddenly flashed in their eyes.

Who would have thought that Xiang Yu, the best general in the world, could be killed by others? If it could be implemented, it would be feasible.

But in the eyes of some opponents, it is definitely not an easy task to kill the impostor. After all, since he is an impostor, he must be in the center of the Yellow Turban Army and will not really fight.

Therefore, in order to be conservative, these people still spoke out against it, and gave various reasons for their opposition. The most crucial one was whether the 5,000 cavalry could break through the enemy's defense line.
