The Nameless of the Common Clans

"That is to say, the mountaintops on both sides are occupied by the enemy?" Chen Mo looked at the map and then looked at Yang Ding. Chen Mo didn't care much about the powerful young general. At best, he was just a brave general. The biggest problem of Yique Pass was that the mountaintops were occupied.

"I can't do anything about it. There are only two troops stationed in Yique Pass, and there is no spare power to guard the mountaintops on both sides." Yang Ding smiled bitterly.

"General, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to blame you." Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "I came through Yique Pass in a hurry before. If you have nothing to do, can you take me to see the mountains on both sides?"

"Of course." Yang Ding stood up and smiled.

The grudge between Chen Mo and Hu Zhen had nothing to do with him, but from a personal point of view, Chen Mo, the commander, was obviously easier to get along with and would take his emotions into consideration when speaking. As for the rough kick that kicked Hu Zhen away before, it was Hu Zhen who asked for trouble. Even if you hold the military power, but the commander this time is Chen Mo, doing this is not only suspected of usurping power, but if you lose the battle, the main responsibility will not be Chen Mo but him.

"Will you two go together?" Chen Mo looked at Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen, as if the kicking incident just now had never happened.

"I am not feeling well, so I will not accompany the general on the tour." Hu Zhen's face was a little dark, and he clasped his fists to Chen Mo without sincerity, and stood up and left.

"Then I will go with the general." Hua Xiong also felt that Hu Zhen had gone too far, so in order to avoid embarrassing Chen Mo, he stood up and said with a smile.

"Let's go." Chen Mo didn't care, and led everyone out of the meeting hall and walked out of the city.

Yique Pass was built at the mouth of Xiangshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain. It is an important pass in the south of Luoyang. It is the only way for Luoyang to go south and Ruying to go north. When suppressing the Yellow Turbans, Liu Hong set up eight passes in Luoyang, and Yique Pass was one of them. The valleys are connected, and it is the key defense of Luoyang.

"There should be a sentry on the top of this mountain!" Chen Mo observed the mountains on both sides and turned back to ask Yang Dingdao. He remembered that his teacher Zang Hong said that the eight passes of Luoyang were built and perfected by Shaofu and many masters. Yique Pass is embedded in the gap between Xiangshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain. The position of the cliff tops on both sides is too harmful to Yique Pass. Although it is difficult to climb, if someone occupies these two places, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is equivalent to losing the initiative.

"There were indeed sentries originally, but when the bandits attacked, Guanzhong was short of manpower, and the other side had not discovered the key points of these two places, so I withdrew the manpower to defend the city." Yang Ding sighed.

Chen Mo nodded, but Hua Xiong frowned and said, "Could it be that Yuan Shu has already noticed the terrain of these two places and it is not easy to attack them by force, so he pretended not to notice them, and waited for General Yang to withdraw the sentries on the two hills to attack them."

"This..." Yang Ding felt a little ashamed, and he felt so afterwards.

"It's useless. If he doesn't withdraw, General Yang may not be able to wait until we arrive. These two sentries can't help our army defend." Chen Mo shook his head and changed the subject: "But although our army has sufficient troops now, losing these two places is equivalent to losing the initiative."

"I am ashamed." Yang Ding looked at Chen Mo with a little gratitude.

"Can we set up barriers on the city gates? Those bandits on the top of the mountain can't actually see the city. Even if we set up barriers, the arrows they shoot will be useless." Han Kai, who was following Chen Mo, looked at the high ground and suddenly said.

"They can't see it, but the Yuan army under the pass can see it. As long as the news is passed up, they only need to throw torches down, and the Yique Pass will be broken immediately." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"Then how to fight?" Hua Xiong frowned.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." After Chen Mo looked at the peaks on both sides, it was difficult to attack the top of these two mountains, especially when the enemy was already prepared, and another way to defeat the enemy was needed.

Everyone went all the way back to the pass. Chen Mo asked someone to call Hu Zhen, but Hu Zhen had already gone to bed and refused to come to discuss matters.

"General, don't blame me, General Hu..." Hua Xiong also felt that Hu Zhen had gone too far. From the beginning to now, except for the time when Hu Zhen took the main position, Chen Mo didn't let him. At other times, Chen Mo always let Hu Zhen go, and how could military secrets be mixed with personal grudges.

"It's okay. I have a plan. I wanted to invite Hu Zhen to discuss it together. How about we three decide on this matter?" Chen Mo shook his head. Hua Xiong was obedient now. At least Hua Xiong would not reject Chen Mo's orders as rudely as Hu Zhen did.

Yang Ding was closer to Chen Mo now. With the three of them, most of the things in Yique Pass could be decided.

"I am willing to obey the general's order!" Hua Xiong clasped his fists with Yang Ding.

"The enemy occupies the high ground. The enemy must know that our army is coming to help. Do you think that if we sneak into the camp tonight, will the enemy be prepared?" Chen Mo sat down and asked while looking at the map.

"Of course they will." Hua Xiong said as a matter of course. If he were the enemy's commander, he would definitely guard against his own camp being raided tonight.

Yang Ding nodded and said, "The thief general Yu She is a general under Yuan Shu. He is quite good at fighting and has a method for attacking cities."

"General Hua, if you were Yu She, what would you do if you successfully defeated our army's plan to rob the camp?" Chen Mo asked.

Hua Xiong was a little stunned by the question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Of course, we will withdraw our troops and rest, and fight again tomorrow."

"Okay, then we will rob the camp!" Chen Mo smiled.

"Uh..." Hua Xiong and Yang Ding looked at Chen Mo blankly, not understanding what he meant. You have already guessed that the other party must be prepared. What's the point of robbing the camp at this time? What kind of a trick is this?

"Of course we can't rob the camp normally." Chen Mo took a bamboo slip and roughly drew a military camp on it and said, "This is how a general military camp is furnished. Based on the terrain outside the pass, the rebel military camp should be set up like this."

Hua Xiong nodded. The layout of the military camp is considered a basic skill for the generals. Although there will be subtle differences depending on the level, the general shape is basically the same. Chen Mo's painting skills are good, although he is sketching on bamboo slips. , but it gives people a three-dimensional sense.

"If what I have predicted is correct, if I send troops to attack the camp tonight, there will definitely be rebels and scouts outside the pass. So General Hua, you and I will each lead a man and horse out of the pass." Chen Mo used a pen to mark the four gates of the military camp according to the four directions. He wrote the names of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu: "After leaving the pass, I will directly attack the Qinglong position. At this time, these scouts will return to the camp to report. General Hua will leave the city after our troops, but there is no need to attack. He will ride lightly." Go to the Suzaku position and hide."

Hua Xiong understood somewhat: "General, are you talking about attacking from both front and back?"

"No!" Chen Mo shook his head: "The bandit army has a lot of troops. Even if they know that someone is stealing the camp, they will not use all their troops to surround them. Therefore, even if they attack from the front and back, the opponent's position will not be messed up. They don't know that we will From where to attack the camp, all parties will be on heightened alert. There is no point in attacking from both front and back at this time.”

"The general's intention is..." Hua Xiong didn't understand.

"After I withdraw, wait for a stick of incense, and the general will fight out from the Suzaku position. After entering the camp, just burn his camp. When I see the rebel camp is on fire, I will lead my troops to fight out again to assist the general!" Chen Mo clicked on the Xuanwu position and said: "I will attack from the Xuanwu position and go straight to the White Tiger position. You and I will join forces at the White Tiger position!"

"General, take the order!" Although Hua Xiong thought it was a bit troublesome and might not work, since Chen Mo had given the order, he would not object. After all, although this strategy was a bit complicated, it sounded better than a direct night attack.

"As for General Yang!" Chen Mo looked at Yang Ding and said: "I'm not sure whether the other party will ambush a group of troops outside the city and wait for me to get out of the city. Therefore, General Yang's task is to guard the city gate! If the thief is found, , there is no mistake in closing the city gate immediately!”

"General, take your orders!" Yang Ding hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

The plan was decided, and Chen Mo and Hua Xiong went to arrange the people to attack the camp. Chen Mo's troops were all infantry, but he also had a Hun cavalry under his command. After Fuluo's death, these Hun soldiers rioted several times, and Chen Mo used them as the most cruel They suppressed it with various methods and redoubled their training. The total number of people who died in training alone was more than 500. The fear of Chen Mo among the rest has been integrated into their bones. Now Chen Mo gave an order to let them go to the fire pit. Li Chong didn't even frown.

This is not caused by morale, but sometimes it is more effective than morale. At least it will be very convenient to command, and it will be easier than ordinary elites. The most important thing is that these soldiers will not have any complaints against Chen Mo, even if they are not paid or given food. Same thing.

Chen Mo selected 800 people and took Dian Wei with him personally. Because he knew that the opponent must be on guard, after discovering that the guard of the camp gate was not tight, Chen Mo left Yu Sheng to lead 200 men to guard the camp gate. Once he found that the opponent had soldiers and horses coming from behind, If they are attacked, hold on to the camp gate to buy yourself time.

It's a pity that Chen Mo doesn't have a suitable cavalry general by his side. Otherwise, there would be no need for Chen Mo to take risks himself.

Chen Mo was not polite. As soon as he entered the camp, he set fires everywhere. In just a moment, the surrounding area was filled with flames. However, the tent he burned was empty. Chen Mo didn't waste any time. He turned around and ran back with the people. .

As soon as they left the camp, they saw torches coming from the distance like a long dragon, blocking the way back to Yique Pass.

At the same time, soldiers and horses rushed over from the south.

"This way!" He didn't panic, and he didn't rush back to the city. He led his troops and headed east along the mainland.

"Stop leaving, traitors!" A fire light lit up in front, and a group of men and horses came towards Chen Mo, which surprised Chen Mo.

"It seems that Yu She has some skills!" Seeing that he was surrounded on three sides, Chen Mo chuckled, turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go back to the military camp and set fire everywhere!"

The eight hundred cavalrymen did not panic at all, and followed Chen Mo back to the barracks, heading all the way towards the Xuanwu position. After a while, half of the entire barracks was in a sea of ​​fire. Yuan Jun, who was chasing Chen Mo in, could not continue the pursuit and could only Putting out the fire first, Chen Mo took the opportunity to open the Xuanwu throne gate and walked away...

Sorry, sorry, my schedule is totally messed up today.
