Chapter 9 The Three Ways of Grabbing the Valley
Luer Mountain is a north-south mountain range, and Kauer Valley is located right in the middle of Luer Mountain, as if it had been cut by a giant axe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The valley is flanked on both sides by cliffs that are almost perpendicular to the ground, and there is no place to see a foothold or two. There is very little vegetation on the cliffs, let alone any birds and living creatures.
The open area at both ends of the Kauer Valley is shaped like a huge hourglass when viewed horizontally, and Liuyu and Yanyan occupy the two openings of the hourglass, that is, the valley mouths at the east and west ends of the Kauer Valley.
Between the two valley mouths, there is a flat olive-shape, and it is like a phoenix eye, so the whole Kagoya is very narrow and long from a distance.
Although the hinterland of Kagoya may seem narrow and long, the average width is about two miles. Almost in the middle of the valley, the "Repulse Bay", which is the boundary between Liuyu and Yanyan, is nearly five miles wide.
When Liuyu and Yan Yan were fighting here, they couldn't even see the end of the north and the south.
Nangong Ao entered the East Valley with Qingying, and then walked along the cliff on the south side along the road.
Kiyokage observed the scene along the road, and realized that the further he walked into the middle of Kagoya, the more he could not see the cliff on the north side until it was completely obscure.
Soldiers stationed in the valley and generals patrolling could already be seen ahead.
Nangong Ao raised his hand to signal everyone to slow down, and pointed to the checkpoint, "Madam Qin, ahead is the last clear post for Yan Yan to enter our camp, and there are several more to go. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and nodded at the ink wolf, who immediately rode out of his horse and headed towards the sentinel point.
When Qingying and the others arrived, the defenders of the outpost did not stop them and let them go directly.
The setting of the sentinel in the valley and the location where the secret sentinel can be set on the cliff are either staggered with each other, or exist at the same time, and the distance between Kiyokage and the others is not fixed.
In the blink of an eye, the group had come to the last sentinel point.
Nangong Ao helped Qingying off his horse and walked towards the soldiers.
The lieutenant in charge of the sentinel was no stranger to Nangong Ao, after all, he often came here to patrol, but he felt a little familiar and unfamiliar with the young man beside him.
It wasn't until a few people approached that the captain recognized the young man dressed as a soldier as Nangong Ao's wife, and they were the military advisor of the Yuwang Army.
"General, military advisor." The lieutenant arched his hand at the two of them, very respectfully.
"Everyone's worked hard!" Kiyokage nodded at him, and bowed to the other guards.
When the captain heard this, he met her soft eyes, his heart warmed, and he said, "I don't know what the military advisor commands?" ”
"There's nothing else to do, don't worry about it, I'll wait all the way here to rest for a while, and then I'm going to Repulse Bay to explore."
The lieutenant nodded, thinking to himself, the last time the army division went to Beifu, this time it was the first time he arrived in Kauer Valley, and he must have wanted to explore the terrain in person.
The army division's military strategy is famous all over the world, maybe this time she can get along with what good strategy.
The lieutenant thought that although General Nangong was there, there should be no problem, but he still couldn't help but remind, "General, military division, about two miles ahead is the location of Repulse Bay, the middle of Repulse Bay is relatively flat and easy to walk, and there are often cavalry patrols by Yan Yan going deep, please be careful." ”
"Hmm!" Qingying nodded and thanked, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
Nangong Ao also nodded at him, and then said, "It's almost, let's continue to go!" lest when you go back it will be dark, and it will be difficult to see the direction in the valley, and you will not be able to see the road clearly. ”
When everyone heard the sound and got on the horse, Nangong Ao had some situations to explain to Qingying, so he rode with Qingying.
Repulse Bay is just a very narrow stream, and at its widest point it is only about four feet. Twisting and turning, submerging into the north and south ends of the Kauer Valley. The water is also shallow, reaching the height of a person's calf at its deepest, and most of them are only ankle-deep.
The brook is overgrown with weeds, which would normally grow luxuriantly, but due to its strategic location, coupled with the invasion of Yan Yan over the years, the wars and patrols of the army have prevented these weeds from growing very tall, or they have been broken down as soon as they grow, and in some places they have even been trampled bald.
Qingying listened to Nangong Ao explain some of the nearby situations to himself in his ear, recalled the scenery in the valley he had seen along the way, and probably depicted the appearance of the Kauer Valley in his heart.
"In addition to the West Valley Pass, if you go about ten miles ahead, you will enter the Holy City."
Qingying nodded, and couldn't help sighing, "No wonder, this place can't be attacked for a long time." Such terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, whether it is Yan Yan or ours. Even if we have a way to capture Kauer Valley, if we can't immediately capture the Holy City, this Kauer Valley will not be able to defend it, just like Yan Yan beating us, if we can't take the Jiaguan City by chance, we will also not be able to hold Kauer Valley. Only capture Kauer Valley, and the result will only give the opponent a chance to catch a turtle in an urn. ”
"Sister-in-law, do you have a way?"
Qingying smiled helplessly, "It's hard to say now!" I hope to capture Kauer Valley with the least amount of damage, and then take advantage of the situation to attack the Holy City, which is the safest in one step. But at this stage, none of the three ways to attack Kagoya can do this. ”
Ink Wolf was a little confused when he heard this, so he asked, "Are there three ways to capture Kauer Valley now?" Isn't it just a hard hit? ”
Qingying sighed lightly and shook his head at the ink wolf's straight brain, "There are three ways to capture Kauer Valley, the first is to send people to make a detour from Luer Mountain to attack the opponent's rear, but this method has a drawback, that is, the number of people sent cannot be too much, so as to maintain flexibility, and the detour in the mountains requires a high level of physical requirements, and this method can only be used to destroy the opponent's specific target."
The second is to use cavalry to open the way, quickly pass through the valley of Kauer, and directly raid the opponent's military camp, taking it by surprise. Because the Kauer Valley is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, and there are very few footholds, there is no place to do anything other than the sentinel points set up, so the possibility of an ambush halfway through the valley is almost zero, and it is impossible to volley halfway. When the cavalry rushed to the opponent's barracks, the news from the other party may have arrived almost before, and if they were not prepared, they would be damaged. However, this method must be in line with the time of day. Kauer Valley is darker at night and has no clear vision, or when the weather is foggy, it can launch a surprise attack. However, the last time there was a war in Kauer Valley, Yan Yan had already used this method, and they would definitely take strict precautions against it, and we would have little chance of success.
As for this last method, it is what you said about direct hard fighting, which is nothing to say, this method consumes the most troops, which is not conducive to the follow-up siege. As I said earlier, it is not enough to take Kauer Valley, it must be captured together with the Holy City, otherwise it will be useless. ”
