Chapter 518: Circling the Queen
After the battle of the eastern border, the current strength of the Huan army is still about 150,000.
150,000 people, how manpower is huge.
It didn't take long at all, only a month or two, and the plank road was built.
A wooden road, winding over a cliff, deep into the mountains.
After the completion of the project, Sun Qi also immediately told Xiao Yuan the news.
But then there was no movement.
What did he mean by this, obviously he wanted Xiao Yuan to march.
In the camp of the Huan army, some generals were puzzled and couldn't help but say: "Sun Shuai, this strategy is really the best policy, why give it to the Qin army, it is better for our army to fight by itself, we will be able to take the Wutong lightly, and then the Wutong will be in the Liangdu." β
"Liangdu, it's not so easy to fight, Xue Wu still has an army of 300,000, you occupy Wutong, can he not be in a hurry." Sun Qi chuckled and said, "Let King Qin fight, he is the one who is most anxious." β
At the same time, the Qin army camp.
The generals are also discussing this matter.
Jia You said: "Sun Qi's intentions are obvious, that is, he wants our army to spare the Wutong, and when the time comes, Xue Wu will definitely use all his forces to attack our army, and the Huan army can sit back and enjoy its success." β
Analyzing the battle situation, behind Yanzhou is Wutong, if Rao's attack is successful, the 300,000 Liang army will be sandwiched in Yanzhou by the front and back, and Wutong can go directly to Liangdu, once this situation happens, Xue Wu will definitely ignore it and storm Wutong, as for the Huan army, where do you still have the heart to pay attention to it.
Sun Qi only needs to stay behind, don't have to do anything, just sit and watch Qin Liang's battle.
Thinking of this, Peng Shuang couldn't help but say: "Sun Qi, this person, what a big conspiracy. β
"It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy." Xiao Yuan said a word, shook his head and said: "He has calculated that we must march, because the Huan army has enough time to delay, but we can't afford to delay." β
What is Yangmou, that is, to set you openly, you have to drill.
Because of Wu Chu, Xiao Yuan was forced to be helpless and urgently needed to defeat Liangguo, so there was no way.
Two days later.
Under the cliffs, the boardwalk is connected to the ground.
Looking from afar, hanging in the air, one side is connected to the mountain wall, and the other side is the abyss, which can be described as dangerous.
When the Qin army arrived, Xiao Yuan first went up and stepped on it twice, and then without hesitation, he waved his hand directly: "Let's go!" β
With his order, the Qin army formed a long line and began to follow closely.
Half an hour later, on the cliff, as far as the eye could see, it was full of black armor and red tassels.
The regular plank road should be equipped with a railing on one side to prevent accidentally falling off the cliff, but for military reasons, these are obviously too late.
But fortunately, the width of the plank road is enough to accommodate two or three people side by side, and the planks are fixed by nails, not the kind of loose situation, the ancient plank road, which can be used for many years, is very strong.
But even so, looking at the bottomless abyss on one side, Xu Hu couldn't help but say: "Be careful, the king......"
Xiao Yuan was at the forefront, and after listening to his reminder, Shangguan Wenruo also immediately said, "General Xu, you are walking in front of the king." β
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Hu also reacted.
Knowing that they were worried about themselves, Xiao Yuan smiled, and he didn't pretentiously, so he leaned his back against the mountain wall and let Xu Hu walk in the front.
"Soldiers, be carefulβ"
"There are no guardrails on the plank road, don't slip under your feet, take care of the front and backββ"
In this way, the procession marched neither fast nor slow, and by the afternoon it had finally crossed the Ridge Mountains.
Xiao Yuan and some generals were the first to reach the ground, and the soldiers behind continued to come, and a few people came to the side and stood there to discuss.
"Get the map."
After a while, the map was handed over, and Xiao Yuan unfolded it, holding one side in his left hand and Xu Hu holding the other.
The generals gathered in front of the picture, Xiao Yuan first looked at it for a while, and then stretched out his hand and clicked on a place: "We are now, it should be here, and it is about fifty miles away from Wutong." β
"But we can't go this way, we have to go around in a big circle to achieve the surprise effect."
"From here."
As he spoke, he drew a half-arc between his fingers on the map.
When the generals heard this, they nodded one after another.
After confirming, Xiao Yuan put away the map and stuffed it to Wei Qing, then looked sideways at the soldiers who were still walking down, and looked at the surrounding environment.
"This is a rare deep mountain in the human world, so let the soldiers who came down first open up the road and wait for the army to gather."
"No!"
Two days later, somewhere in the mountains and forests outside the sycamore.
If someone came in at this time, Bao Zhun would be shocked, because the entire forest was densely packed with black armor and red tasseled Qin troops.
It's still very far from the city gate, and it's separated by a lot of hillsides.
But at this moment, it is approaching Wutong County.
Xiao Yuan had already looked at the map just now, and after putting it away, he asked Lin Chu again, "What is the current situation of Wutong?" β
"According to the intelligence of our army, in Wutong City, there are heavy troops of the Liang Army, constantly transporting grain, grass and ordnance to Yanzhou, plus some local officers and soldiers, the total number of people, not to mention thousands."
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he groaned for a while, and Peng Shuang said: "King, Wutong only has a few thousand enemy troops, and the last general suggested that he go straight to the city and attack this place in one fell swoop." β
"Don't worry." Xiao Yuan raised his hand and said, "Once our army appears, Wutong will inevitably close the city gate as soon as possible, and then defend it desperately." β
"And we, now there is no ladder, no siege equipment, although the number of troops, but it is difficult to attack the city, if we can't take here as soon as possible, then the news will be transmitted back to Yanzhou, Xue Wu will support with cavalry, and the situation will be bad."
Although the other party only has a few thousand people, if it really holds on for a day, it will be over, Yanzhou is behind him, and Xue Wu can support it extremely quickly.
This risk cannot be taken.
Even if you want to attack, you have to cut down trees and rush to the ladder.
However, after Xiao Yuan thought about it for a while, he smiled and said, "The sycamore is very easy to break, and there is no need for an army at all." β
Saying that, he also looked at Xu Hu and Peng Shuang: "You two, take off your armor, find a way to change into cloth clothes, disguise the people of Wutong, enter the city normally, and after you arrive at the city gate, quickly kill the guards, control the city gate, our army will arrive, as long as Wutong can't close the city, you can easily take it." β
After hearing what he said, Xu Hu and Peng Shuang couldn't help but glance at each other, and then clasped their fists together and said, "Order!" β
"Hurry up and get ready!" Xiao Yuan urged, for fear that there would be many dreams at night, and things would change.
Wutong Nai County, is after Yanzhou, because of Xue Wu's army, fully deployed Yanzhou, here has not been affected by the war, so usually, there are still pedestrians in and out of the city gate, but it is not as lively as before.
Wutong County Commander and some county officials didn't think that there would be any danger here, because there were 300,000 troops of their own country in front of them.
