Chapter 145: Sneak Attack

"What's the solution?"

Originally, Sun Huan's face was solemn, his eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a trace of dark clouds between his eyebrows, but after hearing that Ling Tong had a plan to break the city, his complexion changed rapidly, and he asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Ling Tong's expression was slightly worried, and he said: "General Sun, when Tong led the army to attack the city in the past two days, he also found that Yiling City was located in the very center, and there was only a small road about two miles wide outside the city. ”

"Yiling is located on a mountain col again, condescending, and it is difficult for our army to conquer!"

"Ketong also observed that both sides of Yiling City are continuous lofty mountains, and the height is taller than Yiling, so it ......"

"So, Gongji, do you want to lead an army quietly into the mountains, find a path into Yiling City, and capture the city?"

"Yes!"

"What General Sun said is very true."

When the words fell, Lu Xun also looked resolute and straight.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Sun Huan also thought of the danger, and couldn't help but show worry on his face, and muttered: "You can go into the mountains to find a way to attack the city, and it is difficult to say whether there is a way or not." ”

"Even if there is, it will definitely be difficult to find, after all, from below, the mountain range is extremely steep and steep, and there is no need to think about it, the cliffs in the mountains are essential!"

"Our army has just arrived here, and it is unfamiliar with the terrain of the mountains, so if we rush into the mountains, we will suffer all kinds of non-combat attrition losses if we are not careful."

"I'm afraid this strategy is not advisable!"

After pondering carefully, Sun Huan also had a solemn face, and said lightly, he weighed it in his heart for a moment, and he was inclined to deny this strategy.

After all, pinning the hope of breaking the city on an unfamiliar mountain range is obviously not the work of the leading general!

Secondly, not only that, but what he was more worried about in his heart was that the Jingzhou army stationed here had already gained insight into the terrain here, and it was convenient to set up an ambush in the dangerous place early in the morning.

If this is the case, then the army will rush forward, and the whole army will inevitably be annihilated.

However, after thinking for a moment, Sun Huan's eyes were still staring at Ling Tong from the side, and he said softly: "Gongji, since this policy was proposed by you, what do you think?" ”

"Can it be implemented?"

Hearing this, Ling Tong had a serious face and said in a deep voice: "General Sun, I think that if our army wants to capture Yiling City and then attack the entire Yidu County, then this strategy must be implemented. ”

"Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to capture Yiling with a strong attack alone, and with the precipitousness of this place."

As soon as these words fell, the worry on Sun Huan's face became thicker and thicker, and he pondered for a while, and muttered: "But Gongji, the enemy army has been stationed here all the year round, and he must be very familiar with the terrain of the mountains and rivers here. ”

"Once they find out this strategy of our army and set up an ambush in a dangerous place, won't our army have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth?"

"In this way, isn't stealing chickens and rice?"

At this moment, Sun Huan also raised his own concerns!

When the words fell, Ling Tong listened, but he smiled bitterly and explained slowly: "General Sun, this is also a helpless move. ”

"If our army must capture Yiling, then it must take risks."

"Otherwise, a strong attack will never be able to take the city."

After a pause, his face was pale, and he said comfortingly: "Of course, in fact, the situation is not as bad as imagined. ”

"At least, General Sun, you don't have to think about the ambush you are worried about."

"The unification can be guaranteed, and the ambush will definitely not exist."

As soon as the words fell, Sun Huan suddenly showed a puzzled gaze, and asked in an instant: "Gonggong, why are you so sure?" ”

"Because, the enemy's heart is not enough, through these two days of offensive and defensive battles, the commander can also clearly judge that the size of the defenders in the city is no more than 2,000 at most."

"They are holding the city, and there is still a glimmer of hope."

"But if you dare to divide the troops into two ways and take the opportunity to ambush the danger, then there will be a defense hole in the city."

"At that time, our army can break through the city directly from the front."

"After all, our army has a total of more than 10,000 troops, but through the mountains and narrow roads, at most 2,000 troops are enough!"

"The rest of the forces should also continue to besiege the city, distract the enemy's attention, and provide cover for the forces of the sneak attack."

"As the saying goes, soldiers have a saying: virtual and real, turn virtual into real, turn real into virtual, and turn real into virtual, the only way to win with soldiers!"

"Okay."

"Gongji, what you said is true, then I will agree with your plan, and then you will continue to command the main force to attack the city to attract the attention of the enemy, and this general will lead more than 2,000 soldiers to quietly go deep into the mountains to find a way into the city."

Hearing his words, Sun Huan's face suddenly turned excited, and he gave an order in an instant.

It's just that when Ling Tong heard this, he was taken aback, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and persuaded: "General Sun, don't!" ”

"This policy, since it is the idea of the whole, it is natural that the last general should go forward to implement it."

"Therefore, it is better for you to command the army to attack the city, general, and to attack from the mountains by the commander."

"No, no, no."

"As the main general, how can Huan watch the soldiers go to their deaths and be indifferent?"

"I should set an example myself, share the weal and sorrow with the soldiers, and go forward to do dangerous things and attack the enemy army."

At this time, Sun Huan hurriedly vetoed it and said.

Immediately, Ling Tong's face suddenly became serious, and he said sharply: "General Sun, it is precisely because you are a general that you can't risk yourself!" ”

"Otherwise, once you have a crisis in the mountains, then our army's morale will inevitably fall into instability."

"So, let's let the commander lead the army!"

For a while, with the argument based on reason, Sun Huan finally suppressed Ling Tong's idea with force, and decided that he would personally lead the people into the mountains to find a way to attack Yiling City.

At this point, Ling Tong was also extremely helpless, but he was helpless!

"Soldiers, I heard that the enemy's city is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can our army give up?"

"No, no."

"Well, all the divisions will form a formation in turn, pick up the ladder, and attack the city gate."

"Kill."

For a while, Ling Tong was worthy of being a general who had commanded the army for decades, and in just a few words, he inspired the belligerent heart of his own sergeants.

In the next second, under the command of Zai Ling Tong, all the troops formed a formation and went in turn towards the city gate, feinting and leaving.

At this time, above the city, the guard Chen Feng held a sharp sword in his hand, his eyes were firmly fixed on the Wu pawn who was about to attack in a big way, and he couldn't help roaring: "Crossbowman, prepare." ”

"As soon as the enemy is within range, fire."

"Today, we must guard Yiling, and we must not afford to lose!"

"No, no."

As soon as the order was given, many Jingzhou troops under his command also surrendered their promises, and then all kinds of bows and crossbows were held in various hands, waiting for the battle.

The advantage of Yiling City is that due to the high terrain, it is extremely difficult for the besieging side to climb the city wall and climb to the top of the city!

Just when the battle between the two sides was about to break out, no one noticed that thousands of soldiers were under the command of the main general Sun Huan, carrying a hook and quietly walking quickly from the side of the mountain road.
