The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1003 Falling Bird Ridge

In the original plan, Liu Yin was indeed planning to besiege the city and fight for aid, so he adopted the strategy of besieging and not fighting Huguan City. However, Liu Yin was not completely sure that Sima Jun would definitely send reinforcements. necessary.

Regardless of whether Sima Jun's reinforcements arrive or not, Wen Yang who is trapped in Huguan City is already a turtle in a urn, and there is no chance of escape at all. Although Liu Yin's troops deployed around Huguan are extremely loose, they are all stuck in the Huguan City. On the main throat, the reason why the messengers sent by Wenyang were unimpeded was entirely the result of the Shu army turning a blind eye. If the Shu army really wanted to get stuck, let alone a few living people, it was just a Mice can't even think about getting through.

The envoys sent by Wenyang came back and forth, and they were already closely watched by the scouts of the Shu army. Rescuing soldiers was like fighting a fire. It was obviously abnormal that Sima Jun hadn't moved for such a long time, which meant that Sima Jun might have died. If you give up the rescue, you will not send troops to Shangdang again.

If this is the case, then Wen Yang will definitely not sit and wait for death at Huguan. Breaking through is inevitable. The only uncertainty is when Wen Yang will break through.

No matter when Wenyang breaks through, Liu Yin is ready. If Wenyang breaks through, the possibility of going north, south or west is very small, and he will definitely go to Jizhou, that is, go east.

In the east, Liu Yin has already deployed reinforcement troops, and this ambush circle can be used for two purposes. If reinforcements from Yecheng come, it will be reinforcements. If Wenyang breaks through, it will become an interception. Wen Yang is doomed to escape the sky-wide net laid down by the army.

Although he was not sure, Liu Yin still issued an order to make all preparations for the army. In his opinion, if Wenyang learned that Yecheng's reinforcements were not available, he would probably jump over the wall in a hurry and break through the encirclement in advance. The army must be fully prepared so that no one will slip through the net.

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. In order not to disturb the Shu army, Wen Yang ordered the horse picker to hold the bell, and forbid to make any noise.

The target of Wenyang's breakout was the junction of the two armies of the Shu Army in the southeast of Huguan City. During the day, Wenyang had already secretly climbed up to observe. But the encirclement is not tight. There is a relatively large gap between the two armies, and there is a small road that can lead to the southeast. If the Jin army wants to break through successfully, it must open from here. a gap.

The battle to break out of the siege was originally the most difficult battle. After leaving the cover of the city, the road ahead is vast, and I don’t know how many crises and ambushes are hidden. Moreover, to go to Jizhou, you have to climb the majestic and steep Taihang Mountain. The difficulties and hardships can be imagined .

But Wenyang has no choice. If he is trapped in the isolated city, the final result can only be a dead end. The Shu army not only has an advantage in numbers, but also has invincible gunpowder weapons. If there is no reinforcement, the possibility of Wenyang holding Huguan is zero.

Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death, and it is better to leave early than to leave late. It is the best opportunity for the Jin army to break through before the Shu army has formed a siege on Huguan City. After the siege, if you want to break out of the siege, then try to reach the sky.

Wen Yang showed his determination and fortitude at this time, and he didn't even carry out reconnaissance by sending scouts to scout the way. On the day Wen Yang received Sima Jun's reply, he had already made up his mind to break through overnight.

The initial operation went very smoothly. The space Wenyang chose was very good. The camps of the Shu army on both sides were silent in the darkness. It seemed that all the soldiers had fallen asleep. At that time, there was no fighting.

A good start is half the success. Qi Hong, Wu Mao and others were overjoyed. They never thought that the Shu soldiers would sleep so dead, and the Jin army passed by them without realizing it.

Qi Hong even made a plan to sneak attack Shu Ying. It's a pity that such a great opportunity was wasted.

Duan Guang who was beside him stopped him in time, and said in a low voice: "General Wen ordered that you must not startle the snake. It is better to do less of such out-of-the-way things, and the most important thing is to break through the encirclement."

Qi Hong curled his lips, and said: "Of course I know the pros and cons, but it's just a momentary itch, just talking, you really take it seriously."

Duan Guang snorted coldly, ignored him, and directed the army to move on.

Although it was dark and the road conditions were bad, the Jin army's marching speed was not too slow. After passing through the Shu army's defense line, the Jin army's pace became faster. At this time, they were not afraid of making any small noises. , As for making loud noises and lighting torches, it is strictly forbidden.

Under the silent night sky, the sound can be transmitted very far. Shouting loudly is very likely to alarm the Shu army in the distance, and the lights can be seen from dozens of miles away. It is absolutely forbidden to use it. .

The Jin army walked dozens of miles of mountain roads in the dark. When it was about to dawn, they had already reached the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain. As long as they crossed the Grand Canyon, they could reach Jizhou.

Wen Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that his choice is still correct. The current strength of the Shu army is not all on the siege of Huguan, which gives him an opportunity to take advantage of it. After traveling all the way, he finally jumped out. The encirclement of the Shu army, although the next journey will be more difficult, but as long as they can return to Jizhou, there is still hope of survival.

Wen Yang ordered the Jin army to stop for a while. After driving all night, it could be seen that the sergeants were a little tired. He asked them to drink water, eat some dry food, and take a short rest. They were about to take a more difficult journey. It is very important to adjust the state.

Taking advantage of the time when all the soldiers were resting, Wen Yang took people to look around. Through the morning light, Wen Yang saw that the canyon was hanging high, there were many peaks, and the mountains were majestic, which could be called a dangerous place.

"Where is this?" Wen Yang asked casually.

Some of the accompanying sergeants who were familiar with geography replied, "This is Luoniaoling."

Wen Yang frowned slightly, his name was Yang, with the character for bird, and the name of this place was Luo Niao Ling, which made Wen Yang feel unlucky. "Why such a name?"

"Back to the general, the peaks here are so high that birds cannot fly, so the locals call it Luoniaoling."

Wen Yang let out a sigh. It was obvious that his good mood was ruined by the bad mountain name, and he returned to the army in a dispirited mood. Seeing that most of the soldiers had finished their dry food, Wen Yang immediately ordered the troops to assemble , ready to climb over Luoniao Ridge.

At this moment, countless people suddenly poured out from the opposite mountain, and a general laughed loudly on the top of the mountain: "Wenyang! See where you are still running!"
