The first year of Chu Can, the fifth day of August. Three days after Ye Xingcan and Lu Li, a report was reported from the frontier that Beiyin had gathered 400,000 troops, and under the leadership of Zuowei Wang Hu Leiba, they passed through the Yunjiang grassland and went straight to Jianxing.

On the day when the military report was sent to the Yongning Palace, the Fengdong and Fengnan forts, which together with Cangge City constituted the first line of defense in the northwest, had been captured by the Beiyin cavalry, and less than half a day of the military report was transmitted again, Lanling City, which was located in the easternmost part of the border, was lost, and Bada City in the west had also fallen into the encirclement of the enemy, and Cangge City, an important border town, was in danger.

On the same day, the old prince Yang Su sat in the regular hall, looked at Yongning Wang Yeyao, and only asked: "Beiyin has moved, a large number of troops have been transferred, and the palace has received a tip, why is it still in such a situation?" ”

Ye Yao pointed to the microscopic sand table built in imitation of the terrain of the border of Yongbei, and said: "A month ago, the secret agents lurking in Beiyin sent back the news that Beiyin Khan Hu Lei Heng ordered the leaders of all tribes to gather troops, and Zuowei Wang Hu Lei Ba also transferred troops to the west to assemble. We rehearsed the route of the Beiyin march, thinking that it would pass through the Tuoda Gobi, first capture Bada, and then take the western gap of Tianyan Mountain, and go straight to Jianxing, so we ordered Nie Qian, the commander of the Northern Army of the Wind Cavalry Army, to lead the Northern Army to lay a defensive line in Yanbada City, which could block the impact of the 200,000 troops of Beiyin. ”

Ye Yao silently clasped the handsome staff, his eyebrows were like knives, and there was a dignified and murderous aura, and he continued, "In order to avoid being attacked from behind, Beiyin should also seize Cangge City, I have ordered the infantry commander Lin Chunfeng to lead the infantry and the bow and crossbow battalion to set off for many days, and it should be almost to Cangge." Cangge has always been garrisoned by wind cavalry, built on the mountain, with strong walls, complete weapons, and sufficient grain and grass, even in the absence of reinforcements, it is not difficult to resist several times the opponent's forces and hold on for a month. The Beiyin army is 400,000, and our mobile forces should only be around 200,000, so we need to defend Cangge City, drag on for enough time, and break the Beiyin army one by one with the advantage of the local battlefield. ”

"It's just," Ye Yao looked at the old prince and paused, "With the current battle situation, they seem to be thinking about Lanling and Chunyang Pass." With that, he looked at Qin Mo, who was standing beside him and had not spoken.

Qin Mo stood in front of the table, his hands were silent, and he kept his head down to deduce the marching route, feeling Ye Yao looking at him, he did not hesitate, and said directly, "Lanling is not rich and cannot be used as a supply point, although the Chunyang Pass can be used as the main route to attack Jianxing, but the main force of Beiyin is in the west, and the detour to Lanling to take Chunyang Pass will not only increase the marching time, but also easily cause the soldiers to run long distances and fight fatigue." At the same time, the terrain of Chunyang Pass is peculiar, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, Yongning Wangfu has always deployed heavy troops in Chunyang Pass. If it were me, I would also choose Bada, and then concentrate on taking Cangge, send infantry to guard, and use these two cities as supply points. ”

After that, he looked at Ye Yao, his eyes were facing each other, all of them were cold, the two of them were shocked, Ye Yao put down the handsome battle, propped his hands on the table, and said directly, "So, if it wasn't for the secret agent who came to the news of the mutiny, then we were played by the thunder, and now half of the wind riders are trapped in Bada, and they can't rush to the aid of Chunyang Pass in time, and the infantry have rushed to Cangge City...... Then, the question now is how many troops Beiyin is ready to put into Chunyang Pass. ”

The old prince got up and looked back at Ye Yao, but he shook his head, and only said, "In the past few years, Gu has won a lot, I'm afraid you are too underestimating Beiyin's long-dormant attack this time." The voice was calm, but it was full of murderous intent.

Then, his finger pointed to Cangge City, and continued, "Cangge is the key, and Lei Lei must be here, waiting for you." ”

Without waiting for Ye Yao to react, there was a falcon sound outside the hall, Qin Yan quickly walked out of the hall, a white falcon landed steadily on his left arm, he took off the note on the ankle ring and handed it to Ye Yao.

The note came from Cangge City, only one sentence: Lei Lei appeared and Beiyin came to the army of at least 100,000.

Ye Yao took a deep breath and paused, but laughed, "This King Zuo Wei is really brave and good at fighting and holding grudges, he wants to use himself as bait to lure me to Cangge, where he avenges me for killing his wife and children." It seems that he wants me to choose between Cangge City and Chunyang Pass. ”

Ye Yao looked at the people in the hall, knocked on the sand table, and said slowly, "Beiyin sent a big gift to the door, how can this king not accept it." ”

Hearing Ye Yao say this, Qin Bingyi, the palace strategist, had already understood the layout of the prince, and secretly thought about it, if the Beiyin army really has 400,000, and the Fengqi Northern Army can trap in Bada, it proves that the soldiers and horses who feint to attack Bada should not be too few, except for at least 100,000 soldiers and horses invested in the frontal battlefield of Cangge, then the army attacking Chunyang Pass should be around 200,000.

200,000 people must be divided into the advance, the Chinese army and the backup, in addition to the vanguard, the speed can not be fast, Jianxing is only three days away from Chunyang Pass, day and night, two days should be able to arrive, there is time to rush.

Qin Bingyi calculated the available strength of the Yongning Palace, in addition to the Fengcai Northern Army, as well as the main infantry force and bow and crossbow battalion that had almost arrived in Cangge City, and also had to remove the defenders who stayed in Jianxing, and the Fengcai Southern Army that was guarding the northwest and Hanzhong line because they had to guard against Dayong. Then the Yongning Palace's 350,000 wind riders and snow riders, who can guard Chunyang Pass, are at most 50,000, which is a fourfold difference.

Qin Bingyi hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Yao and said, "Since the prince wants to take Duanxue Iron Cavalry to aid Cangge and place the main force in Cangge City, he must want to win this game first, but if Beiyin really plans to use Cangge to trap the prince, the old prince will relapse from his old illness and need to sit in Jianxing." Chunyang Pass is only the main general and deputy general of the Eastern Army of the Wind Cavalry, although the combat power is not weak, but to block the other party, let alone 200,000 troops, the Arabian Nights ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Bingyi rolled up his sleeves, in such a battle with a huge disparity in combat power, the prince was calm and relaxed, and finally understood his plan, and also shook the feather fan in his hand, looking at Qin Mo who did not speak again.

Ye Yao nodded, but he smiled and didn't say anything, silently holding his hands, just looking at Qin Mo deeply, his eyes did not hide the blatant calculation, and then smiled and bowed.

Wuling army stationed on the border of Yongtang and Tang Dynasty, two years ago, the seventeen-year-old major general Qin Mo led his troops to the capital of the Tang Dynasty Chuyang City, the so-called "night kite" knife to cut the Tang Dynasty, since then the Tang Dynasty has been serving Dayong as Zhengshuo, and the years have been paying tribute.

So far, Qin Mo and Ye Yao are called Dayong's "double bi", although they have never fought against Beiyin, but not to mention the combat strength of the Tang Dynasty, after all, on the border of Yongtang and Tang, they have been fighting for seven years. Not to mention, the Wuling Army has always been heavily offensive, and the trapping camp is one of the elites.

In addition, two months ago, Qin Mo was the attacker, and he explored the terrain around the pass on the spot, and if he wanted to say that he was familiar with Chunyang Pass, he would definitely not lose to the defenders. What's more, Qin Mo is a handsome talent, and the terrain he sees in Chunyang Pass is definitely based on military strategy.

What's more, at the beginning of the martial arts, in order to defeat Ye Yao and Duanxue Tieqi, Qin Mo practiced a variety of offensive modes, so that he was able to win more with less.

There is no need to support it, and Ye Yao doesn't think that the military generals who lead Beiyin to attack Chunyang Pass are Qin Mo's opponents, let alone the route and formation. Beiyin made a lot of calculations, but he missed this major general of the Wuling Army who received a special order from the Great Yongdao Sect and secretly came to play martial arts.

Seeing that the Yongning Mansion had calculated himself solidly, Qin Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he had to raise his hand, point to Chunyang Pass, and said, "Okay, I will take the camp to Chunyang Pass, but it is only less than 60,000 troops, although the terrain of Chunyang is superior, but the pass is not good at infantry combat, although your wind cavalry is called wind cavalry, but half of the formation is infantry, the real cavalry of the wind cavalry Eastern Army is afraid that there are less than 30,000, plus the cavalry in the defending army, even if all my Wuling men die in Chunyang Pass, I am afraid that I will not be able to fill this pit." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall had already understood King Yongning's plan.

Although the old prince Yang Su was silent, his eyes were scorching, he thought about it and said, "If Chunyang Pass is lost, there is no need for Jianxing to defend it anymore, you can take the Jianxing defenders and the Laxue Iron Cavalry who stayed in the third line of defense, and then send 10,000 crossbowmen from Cangge to help, although it will be about a day late, but there are a lot of crossbowmen in Chunyang Pass, and the number of troops is 100,000." In the northwest border army, the strength of the snow cavalry is far superior to the wind cavalry, although the Laxue iron cavalry is not as good as Duanxue, but the number is 20,000, even against the descendants of the Beiyin royal court, there is a chance of victory. ”

As he spoke, he took out the Yongning Tiger Talisman and solemnly handed it to Qin Mo, "Please General Qin take my Yongning Wangfu Marshal Seal, so far, except for the wind cavalry trapped in Bada and the pro-army brought by Xiao Yao to Cangge, all the troops in the northwest are at your disposal." ”

Qin Mo respectfully held the military salute, took the tiger talisman, and pondered a little in his heart, although Beiyin has the advantage in the overall number of troops, but he came from a long journey, and threw half of the main army in Chunyang Pass, just talking about the local battlefield of Cangge, Ye Yao's combat power is actually above Beiyin, not to mention winning, it is not impossible to swallow all the dumplings for the Beiyin army.

said yes, and asked Ye Yao again, "I will desperately drag the main army of Beiyin, how long will it take you to take down Lei Ba?" ”

Ye Yao understood what Qin Mo was thinking, and only felt that there was a strange power, which made him feel at ease, "You can enter Chunyang Pass in two days, the fastest, I can rush to Cangge in four days, and you need to stick to Chunyang Pass for seven days." ”

Ye Yao thought for a while and continued, "When I eat 100,000 soldiers and horses in Beiyin, solve the problem of Lei Ba, the boss has an accident, and the Beiyin army attacking Chunyang Pass will definitely be in chaos, not to mention that the Beiyin army has a complicated source, except for the royal court's pro-army, they are all composed of private soldiers from various tribes, and there are many racial factions in the army, and the degree of organization and obedience is relatively low. The only thing I am worried about is that I don't know if this descendant army is placed in Cangge or Chunyang Pass, or both. ”

Qin Mo didn't talk anymore, what if he put it, now the troops that can be invested in Cangge and Chunyang Pass are already clear, and it doesn't matter where the royal court's army is, it's just a battle to the death.

Life, or death, has long been decided, so why bother.

Now that the arrangements had been made, the crowd quickly dispersed, gathered their troops and horses, and prepared to set off overnight.

The trapped camp received the commander's order, and no one delayed and did not want to participate in the battle, so he changed into a battle shirt. Six thousand soldiers, all dressed in black armor, the mountain logo on the left chest flashed under the cold moon.

Qin Mo only waited for the defenders of Jianxing City to assemble, and then set off immediately, and a day later he joined Laxue Tieqi at the foot of Tianyan Mountain. Thinking of this, the road ahead was unknown, and before he knew it, he walked to the front of Xingyue Pavilion, and he was afraid that Ye Xingcan would be worried, so he hesitated.

I didn't want Ye Xingcan to walk out of the boudoir, but when the two met, Qin Mo was a little nervous, and he didn't know what to say.

Ye Xingcan heard in the evening that Beiyin was coming to attack, and the army was about to be launched, and he guessed that his brother was going to go on the expedition, so he was worried, so he hurriedly went out, but he didn't want to see Qin Mo at the door, and he was also dressed in military uniform.

Ye Xingcan was a little strange, his face was already pale with fright, he looked at him in a daze, and only asked, why is he wearing armor?

Beiyin is coming, there are wind rides and snow rides, why do you need him to go to the battlefield.
