Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 121
Xun Yu ordered someone to open the military topographic map, and went to the screen to examine it carefully.

The generals didn't know Xun Yu's intentions, so they all kept silent and waited for the next sentence.

There are many mountains in the northwest, but in Jincheng County, there are Wuling, Longwei Mountain, Gaolan Mountain, Laji Mountain, etc., or horizontal walls in the north and south, or stretching from east to west. Although there are official roads from Yunwu to Xihai, there are also many places. Dangerous terrain can be a pass.

The terrain of Shigu is dangerous, located in the south of Huangshui, between Linqiang and Anyi.

There is no news of the fall of Linqiang. Gao Shun chose to stop the Qianghu army here, which was obviously proposed after careful consideration. No matter in terms of time or geography, it is most suitable to stop the Qianghu army in Shuugu.

Right now, there are changes in the West Sea, and the danger of the situation cannot be delayed, and Luo Zheng is going out again, so there is really no hesitation.

Xun Yu thought for a moment, then turned around and said loudly without hesitation: "In this case, I invite General Gao Shun to lead an army of [-] troops to Shuogu to meet the Qianghu rebels, so as to buy enough time for the general and Ma Teng to decide the outcome. "

Gao Shun stood up and said solemnly: "The general will obey."

"No!"

Wu Xi immediately objected: "It hasn't been long since the troops stationed in the field, and their hearts have not been attached. If they mutiny before the battle, the general situation will be over. Some people think that they should concentrate their troops to defend Yunwu to the death, and then fortify the wall to clear the country. They only need to defend for a few months. If you can't attack Yunwu, you will retreat naturally."

Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals also nodded in agreement, apparently not thinking that Gao Shun could hold back [-] Qiang soldiers.

Cheng Yin and Ma Wan's faces were gloomy, and they were secretly unhappy.

Wu Xi had no intention of speaking, but he offended Han Sui's surrender.

Xun Yu frowned slightly, looked at Gao Shun and said, "What do you think, General?"

Gao Shun didn't talk much, but he spoke loudly, "If there is any mistake, the general is willing to come and see you!"

Xun Yu's eyes were strange, and the last worry in his heart was gone. At that time, he pulled out the saber given by Luo Zheng, and said loudly: "I have decided that the general's saber is here. You should not persuade me any more. General Gao Shun should prepare quickly. send troops."

"As ordered."

Gao Shun accepted the order solemnly, and then strode out of the hall.

Xun Yu didn't dare to be negligent, so he ordered ten fast horses to Wuwei to look for Luo Zheng's army, and reported the military situation and the corresponding arrangements.

As for the armaments and fodder needed by the army for the expedition, they were also mobilized in place at the first time.

Xun Yu's Wang Zuozhi's talent is not blown out. He is not only good at strategy, but also very good at managing politics. The internal affairs under Luo Zheng's rule can be said to be extremely corrupt, and he can also manage them in a short period of time. It is a rare talent.

If not, it would take at least ten days and a half months for Gao Shun's army to march.

Wuling has rugged mountain roads and many dangerous peaks.

Zhang Meng led an army of [-] men and walked slowly on the mountain road.

An army of five thousand is no more than dozens of people, and it will not be able to get up quickly with food, fodder and luggage.If you travel light and fast, you can cross Wuling in one day if you walk fast, but it will take at least two days to drive a cart.

Zhang Meng hurried and walked for two full days before he crossed Wuling.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Meng had no choice but to order the army to camp on the spot, and wait for the next day to go north again.

Not long after, smoke and dust rose from the barracks.

After walking on the mountain road for a day, the soldiers were so tired that their feet were sore and weak. After cooking and eating half full, except for the soldiers on duty at night, the rest of the soldiers hid in the simple tents early and fell asleep without thinking about anything. no more.

It was getting dark quickly, and night covered the earth.

The night watch soldiers stared blankly at the darkness in the distance, and their spirits were listless.

After driving the mountain road for a day, even the strongest man is a bit tired. In addition, the news of Wuwei's fall has spread, which has dealt a fatal blow to morale. It's no wonder that the soldiers can cheer up.

By the time the moon was in the middle of the sky, the camp had completely quieted down, except for the occasional chirping of spring cicadas.

Beside the wooden fence in the northwest corner, a grease torch was crackling, and there was a pungent smell of smoke.

Luo Zheng stood next to the torch with a knife, staring at the distant night sky.

It's normal to be bullied and excluded in the army, this kind of thing exists in any army.

The rout soldiers who were incorporated are now being squeezed out, and more than a hundred people are all sent to watch the night.In recent years, Luo Zheng finally tasted the helplessness of being a small soldier again, and the feeling that his fate could not be controlled by himself made him very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, all of this is only temporary, just for one night.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Xu Laosan rushed behind him.

"Have you ever contacted Zilong Dajun?"

Luo Zheng asked without looking back, as if he had eyes behind his head.

Xu Laosan excitedly said: "We have already made contact. General Zhao Yun has ambushed [-] cavalry in a valley [-] miles away in front of him. He only waits for the fire to be used as a sign, and all the ambush troops will be sent out to raid Zhang Meng's camp."

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound, and waved his hand without looking back.

Xu Laosan lost his excitement for a while, not daring to talk nonsense, and quickly stepped aside.

After waiting for about half an hour, three flames lit up in the northwest direction one after another.

Other soldiers on duty at night saw it, but they didn't bother to pay attention to it. They just leaned against the wooden fence and took a nap.

About an hour later, in the darkness dozens of steps away, a personal soldier rushed over quickly.

"My lord, the ministries are already in place."

The soldiers rushed forward and said in a low voice excitedly: "General Zhao Yun's six thousand cavalry have surrounded Zhang Meng's camp. When the lord breaks Zhang Meng's camp, he will encircle him on all sides, making it difficult for Zhang Meng's wings to fly. The net is captured."

Luo Zhengji said: "Okay, order Zhao Yun not to let one escape."

"As ordered."

The soldiers agreed, and then turned around and ran into the darkness.

Soon, the gate of the vegetable garden opened under the night, and groups of cavalry came out and quickly formed formation in the camp.

This is the northwest corner of Zhang Meng's camp, and the nearby teams of night soldiers have been quietly cleared away, but after nearly a thousand cavalrymen came out from the vegetable garden, there was finally a lot of commotion.

Several war horses were out of control, and suddenly turned from day to night, and they all raised their heads and neighed in fright.

This cry immediately alarmed the sleeping soldiers in the nearby tents.

"Where is the horse neighing?"

Some soldiers who got up at night were full of doubts and went out of the tent to check.

When he saw the densely packed cavalry not far away, he was taken aback. After being stunned for a second, his face changed drastically and he yelled loudly, "Enemy attack, enemy attack, the enemy army has already rushed in!" La!"

The peaceful night sky was quickly shattered, and the camp immediately exploded.

The soldiers were awakened from their sleep, all at a loss, not knowing what happened.

Seeing that Luo Zheng had missed his traces, he didn't hesitate anymore, and ordered the thousand Qiang Hu cavalry who had already lined up to immediately divide into ten teams and enter the barracks. They killed anyone they saw, and threw torches when they saw tents. The huge barracks soon It boils back to the sky.
