Looking at the raging Yellow River rushing eastward in the north, overlooking the wide plain at your feet, although there are mountains vaguely connected to the south, but on such a long defensive line, the half-built rammed earth wall seems so thin and fragile.

Nanying's heart swelled up with a strong sense of inappropriateness, this is the legendary "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open" Tiger Prison Xiongguan? Isn't that too much?

He pointed ahead in disbelief and said, "Did Dong Zhuo really order Li Dao to build a pass here?" Judging from the future, this danger seems to be a bit unworthy of the name! ”

Mo Zhe, who was following closely behind him, was stunned and hesitated: "General, although the last general also feels the same way, but Li Wei's 20,000 troops are here to supervise nearly 100,000 people to start work day and night, but it is indisputable!" ”

Ma Jun ran up the mountainside, bowed down and said: "General, under the pacification of our army, 70,000 people are ready, plus the 10,000 soldiers who cooperate with the construction of the city, just wait for the general to give an order, and the city construction project can be resumed immediately!" ”

After a pause, he added, "The best idea is that in three days we will be able to form a strong line of defense against the enemy!" ”

"Wait! Rong Ben will think about it! Nan Ying's heart was even more uneasy, and he said to himself: "Since this pass is so important, why has the former Qin Dynasty been put in place, but it has been abandoned to such an extent? ”

"General Hugh!" Ma Jun said a little eagerly: "General Gao Shun has just sent an urgent report, Lu Bu's army has all its cavalry, and it has appeared one hundred and fifty miles behind them, and it will arrive here in two and a half days at most." If we don't use all the time to build the pass, I'm afraid we will fall into a passive situation! ”

"How is the march of the ministries?" Nan Ying said movingly: "Will the advance of Lu Bu's army threaten them?" ”

"General rest assured!" Ma Jun smiled and said: "Sun Jian's army can reach it in half a day at most, and General Gao's headquarters is faster, I believe it will be here in less than three hours...... The one who discovered the whereabouts of Lu Bu's army was actually just the eye of the sky sent by General Gao's small force after the break! ”

"Supposedly, the situation is indeed very good!" Nan Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But why is Ben Jiang always faintly uneasy in his heart? ”

"Look!" Mo Zhe suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Another heavenly eye has fallen!" ”

Nanying and the generals looked up together, only to see a harrier eagle in the sky circling down, falling towards the mountain.

"Down the mountain!" Nan Ying said categorically: "Go and welcome the news of Tianyan, so as not to miss the time!" ”

It can be walked down the mountain. Sure enough, a Tianyan soldier galloped in and sent the latest news of Gao Shun, and the content was also good news, roughly saying that the main force of the cavalry had joined Sun Jian's army in the middle of the division, and was currently rushing to cross the river, and all the bridges would be demolished just after crossing the river, blocking the pursuit of Lu Bu's army.

When the generals heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Not counting the 2,000 naval troops of Li Shaojie's army, only the 25,000 infantry of Sun Jian's department and the 10,000 cavalry of Gao Shun's department arrived in time. Coupled with the 10,000 charioteers here, there are at least 45,000 cavalry, even if Lu Bu's 40,000 cavalry is killed, there is enough strength to fight hard, not to mention that pass? It seems that the big picture has been decided!

The eyes of all the generals looked at Nanying together, just waiting for him to give a military order for all the soldiers and civilians to jointly build the pass.

Nan Ying's face was filled with a rare look of hesitation, and finally said slowly: "Generals, this general has decided to mobilize all of them immediately.......

"General! Checkmate! Li Jin galloped like the wind. shouted wildly: "Slow down the order, the last general has brought an old man, and he has a major military situation to present!" ”

"What major military information?" Everyone blurted out together.

"General Nan!" On the improvised stretcher, the young man covered in blood was clearly on the verge of dying. When he saw Nanying, a pair of distracted eyes suddenly burst into bright light, and his whole body was half propped up: "I finally saw you!" ”

"You are?" Nan Ying looked at the familiar face and said movingly: "Yuan Fan! ”

Li Jin said gloomily: "The rangers under the last general found him when they were patrolling twenty miles away from here. When I found it, I had already been hit by several arrows, and I was about to fall off my horse and faint......."

"Yuan Fan, how did you come here?" Nan Ying grabbed Yuan Fan's outstretched palm. Shocked: "Could it be that the old lady is in danger?" ”

"Nope! Madam, she is safe and sound......" Yuan Fanqiang smiled: "It's you, the general, who has fallen into danger!" This place is a huge trap...... Madame, she inadvertently learned of Dong Zhuo's conspiracy through the protégé of Dong Jun's generals, and the special villain must inform the general......"

"What?" Nanying and the generals were shocked and shouted, "What trap? ”

"General, you ......" Nan Ying saw that Yuan Fan's voice was gradually lowered, and he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly put his ear to his mouth, only to hear him say weakly: "Li Dao's army, it's a bait...... The real pass is still in the west, and Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to hide it from Lu Bu, just to lure the general in...... The villain has personally investigated, and it is Niu Fu! ”

His voice was lower: "The villain lives up to his wife, and he lives up to the general......"

Nan Ying shouted wildly: "Yuan Fan, you can't die......"

Before he finished speaking, he only felt that the crook of his arm had sunk heavily, and he couldn't help but tremble violently.

Looking at Yuan Fan, who was passing away with a smile in his arms, Nan Ying trembled and gently put him down, and suddenly jumped up wildly: "Didn't Niu Fu cross the Yellow River to conquer the Baibo Army?" What's going on! Check, check it for Ben Jiang immediately! ”

When the majestic cavalry army of Gao Shun and the well-groomed infantry of Sun Jian's army in the distance appeared, the Tianyan and Fengyu divisions that poured out of the nest finally handed over the news to Nanying.

Nan Ying listened to the military intelligence officer's recitation one by one, and his eyes were full of rage. No wonder Li Dao's 20,000 troops were easily frightened back by Sun Binshuo's 500 men and horses, although a surprise ground movement caused unexpected trouble to his troops, but Li Dao should have already received Dong Zhuo's military order, just wait for the main force of the Bohai Navy to appear, and then want to feint and leave, inducing Nanying to continue to build a pass here to resist Lu Bu, but in fact, it was a plan for Dong Jun's army to lure the enemy deeper. They did not hesitate to recruit tens of thousands of people, firstly, in order to make a good show, and secondly, in order to be able to disperse the people in order to block the chaos of the Bohai Navy when the Bohai Navy attacked.

A hundred miles away from here, after a feint crossing of the Yellow River, Niu Fu's army quickly smuggled back again, occupying the spiral gate pass that had been in disrepair for a long time, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were strengthening the city defense day and night. According to intelligence analysis, this revolving gate pass should be a veritable tiger prison pass, which is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The terrain is extremely dangerous, and only a deep valley in the southwest leads directly to the imperial capital.

Nanying can almost assert now that no matter whether Lü Bu insists on returning to attack the Bohai Navy or not, Dong Zhuo must also have set up a follow-up among Lü Bu's subordinate generals, and someone will definitely hold Dong Zhuo's handwritten order to make Lü Bu hesitate to return to the division, so as to cooperate with Niu Fu to complete the encirclement of the Bohai Navy. As for the army led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, either they had reached a tacit understanding with Dong Zhuo, or Dong Zhuo didn't take them seriously at all.

It's ridiculous that he was bent on cutting off Lu Bu's back road, but he was almost dumpled by the enemy! How could Dong Zhuo know so much about his use of soldiers? Nanying's heart is even heavier, could it be that some master is pointing out from it? Then this person is too terrible!

His gaze swept over the newly erected tomb not far away. His eyes were full of sorrow, and he remembered the scene of his two meetings with Yuan Fan again, and the voice and smile of the handsome and steady young man seemed to be all yesterday...... It's hateful that he actually lost his good years in vain in order to remind himself of his mistakes in the use of troops, and buried his bones in the barren mountain! What face do you have to see Maren again?

"Brother Nan!"

"Hanyang!"

Gao Shun and Sun Jian's shouts pulled him back from his pain, and Nan Ying stood up, and finally walked towards them with a hint of joy on his face.

Gao Shun led the generals of the Bohai Navy, Sun Jian led Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and dozens of generals came together.

Gao Shun obviously already knew the bad situation of the battle. He didn't care about saying more, and shouted directly: "Map! ”

Dozens of generals came forward together, only to hear Ma Jun, who was in charge of introducing the military situation, say in a deep voice: "Now the situation is seriously unfavorable to our army, and the Niu Fu army stationed in Xiongguan in front has joined Li Dao's department. There are at least nearly 40,000 troops, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements from Luoyang behind them, if our army wants to conquer it quickly with a mere 45,000 troops......."

He exhaled a long breath of turbidity: "Even if there are a large number of attacking equipment, it will not be possible in the short term!" ”

"Not bad!" Gao Feng said: "And the army of Lu Bu who is chasing behind us. His 40,000 cavalry were only two days' journey away, and nearly 30,000 infantry followed, under the command of Guo Yan, who had left Yuan Shao's 200,000-strong coalition far behind. There is no risk of being attacked from the front and back! ”

"Two days!" He emphasized: "In two days at most, we will be attacked by the main force of Dong Zhuo's army of about 110,000 cavalry!" This is almost Dong Zhuo's entire military strength...... Therefore, our army has no chance of victory! ”

"Fuck! Only fight to the death! Some of the generals laughed angrily: "Niu Fu and Li Dao are mainly infantry troops, and their mobility is poor, so it is better for us to take advantage of their time to kill, immediately turn around to meet Lu Bu's cavalry, and kill a bloody road!" ”

"No!" Sun Binshuo objected: "Let's not say how the victory or defeat is, and we don't say how many casualties there are, just say that if we are entangled with Lu Bu, Niu Fu and Li Dao's army will be killed from the west, and Guo Yan's army will be killed from the east, and our army will only be wiped out!" ”

He bowed to Nanying and said: "General, our army has strayed into a trap, and our department is hard to escape the blame for negligence, please order the general to order Sun Jiaerlang to attack Niu Fu and Li Dao at night under his subordinates, and take the city pass again in one fell swoop!" ”

As soon as he said this, all the generals listened to it with enthusiasm, and for a while, all kinds of voices asking for war became chaotic.

"Shut up!" The crowd flickered away, Jia Xu walked in with a calm face, and the first sentence made everyone speechless: "You can't fight hard with Dong Zhuo, otherwise even if Dong Zhuo is destroyed, Yuan Shao will also devour us alive with a great loss of strength!" ”

"It's called Qunxiong to discuss Dong, in fact, everyone knows that the current trend has become a three-way confrontation!" His cold gaze swept the hearts of all the generals: "Once Dong Zhuo is destroyed, it will be about Eryuan to deal with us...... As for how their brothers will share the world, it is a matter for the future! ”

Jia Xu slapped his palm on the map: "If there is anyone who dares to fight hard with Dong Zhuo, demote him to a military position!" After he finished speaking, his slightly apologetic gaze fell on Sun Jian's face: "General Wentai, you and my family are like brothers, and you will definitely advance and retreat with him, right?" ”

"Of course!" Sun Jian nodded, and he said to Nan Ying: "Mr. Wenhe, the wise man of the world, his knowledge is really extraordinary, compared to Dong Zhuo, who has become notorious and unpopular, Er Yuan is our future enemy, and they must not be allowed to benefit from fishermen!" ”

"Since you can't fight hard!" Nanying perked up, and his eyes fell on the map again: "Then you can only smear oil on the soles of your feet...... As long as they withdraw from the encirclement, it will be Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao's turn to eat dog again! ”

"How to withdraw?" Ma Jun was surprised and said: "There are dangerous passes in the west, chasing soldiers in the east, mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north...... The last general understands! Does the general want to follow the example of the Yingshui War again? ”

Whether it was the generals of the Changsha Army or the generals of the Bohai Navy, they were moved together when they heard this, and Sun Jian remembered the old incident when he was trapped in Yingyang, but Nanying broke out of the mountains to break the siege, and couldn't help nodding slightly: "If you choose to withdraw from the Southern Mountain Range, it is indeed promising...... However, what about so many baggage and carriages? ”

Several Admirals of the Bohai Navy, who had experienced the battles of that day, lamented together. Will you be forced to give up a large number of war horses and chariots? Nowadays, these are not distributed by the court, but the family funds that have been purchased for many years after coming to Bohai!

"Wrong!" Nan Ying shook his head and said: "Since the reputation of our army for being proficient in mountain battles has spread, of course it is impossible for the enemy army to be unguarded, so the general will go the opposite way today......"

He pointed to the Yellow River on the map: "Cross the river!" ”

The generals were dumbfounded, Nan Ying slowly raised his hand and pointed to one of the generals: "Within one hour, I will come up with a strategy to cross the river, and order everyone to cross the Yellow River within a day and a half!" ”

It was Li Shaojie, who was pointed out to be the superintendent of the navy, he folded his fingers with a bitter face, and calculated: "The last general will have eight building boats, each boat can accommodate at least 400 people, if you squeeze it, there is no problem in crossing 3,000 people at a time, if you can choose a narrow river nearby, it will be faster......"

He thought about it cautiously, and finally patted his chest proudly: "If the general can allow the last general to be the master and give up some of the chariots and military horses, the last general is confident that he can cross the 45,000 army in a day and a half......."

"Wrong again! Still give up the carriage and horses? You scumbag! Nan Ying grabbed the collar of his robe, gritted his teeth and said, "Not only can't you give up the carriage and horses, but the general will also order you to take those 70,000 people!" Can't do it...... Ben will take you the Order of the Eagle General! ”

"My mother!" Li Shaojie's face was as white as paper all of a sudden, and he was stunned before he screamed in disregard of decency: "Don't let people live?" (To be continued......)

PS: I wish you all brothers a happy New Year's Day, good health, and happiness for the whole family! Please also send your tickets! Haha, Bai Xue took the initiative to ask for a recommendation ticket, but he waited for a thousand years!
