The situation of Juyongguan is dangerous, the east is connected with Lulong, Jieshi, and the west belongs to Taihang Mountain and Changshan, which is the danger of the world, and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

Although the Huns did not have to fight for anything, they had to invade Shanggu County in the south, burn, kill and plunder, if they did not want to rely on their horses and legs to climb over the endless poor mountains.

You can only pass here and follow the 18-kilometre-long valley all the way south!

If the Han army wanted to go deep into the desert to attack the Xiongnu, they would often repair in Shanggu County and set off from Juyong Pass all the way north.

Therefore, for both Han and Hungary, Juyong Pass belongs to the place that must be taken or kept!

"More than 10,000 headquarters cavalry, plus more than 30,000 vassal tribal cavalry, plus tens of thousands of herdsmen are young and strong, this team is not small."

In the gate building of Juyong Pass, Lu Fang, Tang Qi, and Huo Quzhi were facing the steep terrain outside the pass, discussing the information brought by the scouts.

"If Ben is not mistaken, then the traitor will not lead the main force!" Huo Quzhi judged, "It should be from here to stop our army from leaving the fortress and ensure the back road for Yi Zhixie's main force." ”

"Of course, it would be even better if we could go into the upper valley and grab it!"

Tang Qi nodded in agreement: "What Captain Huo said is good. ”

Because that's what it is!

Lu Fang was wearing a Jinxian crown, and his face was originally calm, but he was actually relieved when he heard the words: "In this way, as long as my Shanggu defenders hold it firmly, there is no need to worry?" ”

“……”

Tang and Huo were speechless for a moment.

Isn't it nonsense that you can feel at ease if you hold it firmly?

It doesn't matter if it's the main force or not, whether it's the main attack or not, you're firmly guarded, what are you worried about?

The question is how to "hold it firmly"!

Lu Fang also noticed that he had said the wrong thing, and he was a little anxious: "This official is saying that since it is not the main direction of attack, the offensive of the Huns will not be too fierce?" ”

"And the enemy is all cavalry, if the siege fails, will it continue to hold out?"

At first glance, it is the standard "common sense of the Huns" and the like, although the Han Dynasty does not necessarily have a book with this name.

But it can also be seen that it is indeed done and only done on paper.

Huo Quzhi sneered: "Lu Taishou, do you believe this?" ”

“……”

Tang Qi has seen what the so-called top Han looks like.

Although Captain Yao is also 2,000 stones, he is the highest military and political chief in the local area! The kind that the military regime grasps in one go!

In addition, the border county is too high by half a level by default, and there is nothing wrong with saying that someone is your superior!

But when I thought that Huo Qubing was also like this in front of the prime minister and even the Son of Heaven, I felt that Lu Fang's treatment was not bad.

And Tang Qi can also understand, after all, the two of them have just been cheated by Lu Taishou!

Why is the spies scattered out by the Yulin Army?

Because the scouts that Lu Taishou scattered were actually only in the range along the Juyongguan Valley!

The reason is that it is not easy for the army to be hidden, and the mountainous area is not conducive to cavalry marching, so as long as the military situation in the valley is under control.

Do you say that Huo Qu is sick or not?

Not to mention Huo Quzhi, a young man who was raised as a famous seed and was extremely talented.

Even Tang Qi was so shocked by Lu Taishou's operation that he couldn't speak!

If it weren't for the hundreds of Yulin troops brought, there happened to be soldiers from the border army scouts, and there were quite a few of them.

I'm afraid that the Han army will be blind!

The valley is endless, are you stupid to be a Hun!

Moreover, Zhao Xin, as a former general, has been in the Han army for a long time, and is extremely familiar with the military system and tactics of the Han army.

He can't stop your scouts?

Sure enough, if it weren't for the Yulin Army scouts to go out in time, I'm afraid that until Zhao Xin's army came to the city of Yongguan, Lu Taishou wouldn't be able to figure out how they came here!

"Taishou, order Captain Li Guang to lead a large army to help." Huo Quzhi's face was heavy, "Your defenders only have more than 20,000 people, and it will be a little difficult to hold on." ”

Lu Fang frowned: "The art of war is cloudy, five are attacked, and ten are surrounded." The Xiongnu are less than 100,000 people, and Juyongguan is a strong and deep city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there is no need for Captain Li to rush over, right? ”

"It's that the other cities are empty, so wouldn't it be nice to scatter Captain Li's troops and horses to various county towns and passes, just in case?"

Huo Quzhi looked at Tang Qi.

Tang Qi was helpless: "Envoy, Captain Huo has been raised in front of His Majesty since he was a child, and the general has been exposed to it, and he knows the tactics of the Huns the most. And he has also intersected with Zhao Xin many times, and he knows the enemy generals very well. ”

It is also Lu Fang, although he does not know soldiers, but he is not the kind of arrogant and narrow-minded person, Tang Qi is so good-mouthed.

It's okay to be stupid, there are experts here, as long as it's not bad.

Sure enough, although Lu Fang was a little embarrassed, he still nodded with a red face and said: "In this way, it will all be handed over to Captain Huo, this official really doesn't know about military affairs, and he killed the people in the county last year......

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a clear purpose, and the reinforcements were led by Li Guang.

It does not constitute a subordinate relationship with Huo Quai, just to give this wild horse a good rein.

And Tang Qi, Liu Che couldn't wait to let him go, for fear that his beloved Mr. Tang would be scraped off a layer of skin, how could he give him military power?

Doesn't that encourage people to rush to the front!

And what if Mr. Tang is good at everything, he will fight and pull his hips?

Therefore, among the three people present, there was really only Lu Fang, who was too guarded and could justifiably dispatch troops to mobilize Li Guang's troops!

The effect of Huo Qu's illness is to watch this Taishou don't let him be a moth!

For example, to stop him from giving blind orders, such as the one just now......

If Lu Fang insisted on going his own way, then Huo Quzhi and Tang Qi combined, coupled with Li Guang's trust in Huo Quzhi, could completely meddle in the command.

But in that case, it's not good for all three.

Seeing Lu Fang so upright, Xiao Huo couldn't stop sneering.

"Zhao Xin is familiar with the tactics of our army to defend the city, and he is the second king of the Xiongnu, and his supplies and soldiers are very sufficient. He must have been fully prepared for this visit! ”

"For the Huns, as long as the number of elites in their headquarters is guaranteed, there is no need to care at all how many vassal tribes die. Therefore, unless you can directly kill and injure Zhao Xin's headquarters, it is useless to kill as many vassal tribe soldiers as you want. ”

"Taken by the Huns, they don't dare to resist even if they are all gone!"

"And Zhao Xin has been in a high position in the Han Dynasty for many years, and he has a wide range of contacts, so it is not difficult to obtain some materials and drawings of engineering equipment through smuggling and looting, and make them on a large scale."

"This battle is a tough battle!"

Lu Fang was convinced: "Fortunately, Your Majesty let this official and General Li be transferred, otherwise, you will mistake the innocent people!" ”

As he spoke, the scout came to report again.

"Zhao Xinbu forward, according to me, there is less than half a day away!"

"How many?"

"There are about 40,000 people, of which less than 10,000 are wearing armor, which is the headquarters of the Huns!"

Lu Fang finally changed color.

"Those more than 40,000 people are just forwards!"
