Chapter 134: Yique Passes
"In other words, the summits on both sides are occupied by enemy troops?" Chen Mo looked at the map, and then looked at Yang Dingdao, Chen Mo didn't care much about what kind of powerful young general, at best, he was just a brave general, and the biggest problem at the moment was that the top of the mountain was occupied.
"The last general can't, the garrison of Yique Pass is only two people, and there is no spare strength to guard the top of the mountain on both sides." Yang Ding smiled bitterly.
"Don't misunderstand, the general has no intention of blaming." Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "I passed through Yique Pass before, and I came in a hurry, if the general is fine, can you take me to see the mountains on both sides?" ”
"Nature." Yang Ding got up and smiled.
The grievances between Chen Mo and Hu Zhen have nothing to do with him, but in terms of personal perception, Chen Mo, the main general, is obviously easier to get along with, and he will take into account his emotions when he speaks, as for the previous rough kick that kicked Hu Zhen away, that is, Hu Zhen is bored with himself, even if you have military power in your hands, but this time the main will be Chen Mo, not only is there a suspicion of trespassing, but if you lose the battle, the main responsibility is not Chen Mo but on him.
"Are you going together?" Chen Mo looked at Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen, as if the thing he kicked just now had never happened.
"The last general is not feeling well, so he will not accompany the general on the tour." Hu Zhen's face was a little dark, and he hugged Chen Mo with no sincerity, got up and left.
"Let's go with the general." Hua Xiong also felt that Hu Zhen was a little too much, so in order to avoid Chen Mo's embarrassment, he got up and smiled.
"Let's go." Chen Mo didn't care, and led everyone out of the council hall and went out of the city.
Yique Pass is built at the pass of Xiangshan and Longmen Mountain, it is an important pass in the south of Luoyang, Luoyang goes south, Ruying must go north, when the Yellow Turban was suppressed, Liu Hong set up eight passes in Luoyang, Yique Pass is one of them, the valley is connected, it is the defense of Luoyang.
"There should be a sentry on the top of this mountain!" Chen Mo observed the mountains on both sides, turned around and asked Yang Dingdao, he remembered that the teacher Zang Hong said that this Luoyang Eight Passes was built and perfected by Shaofu led by many masters, and Yique Pass was embedded in the gap between Xiangshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain, and the position of the cliff top on both sides was too harmful to Yique Pass, and although it was difficult to climb, if someone occupied these two places, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was equivalent to losing the first move.
"Originally, there was indeed a sentry, but the thieves attacked, Guanzhong was short of manpower, and the other party did not find the key to these two places for a long time, so the last general withdrew his manpower to defend the city." Yang Ding sighed and said.
Chen Mo nodded, but Hua Xiong on the side frowned and said: "Could it be that Yuan Shu has already sensed these two terrains, and it is not easy to attack, so he pretended not to find it, and when General Yang removed the sentry posts on the two hills, he took the opportunity to attack them." ”
"This ......" Yang Ding was a little ashamed, and he also felt that it was the case afterwards.
"It's useless, if you don't withdraw, maybe General Yang won't be able to defend us, and these two checkpoints can't help our army defend." Chen Mo shook his head and turned the topic away: "However, although our army has sufficient troops now, losing these two places is equivalent to losing the first move. ”
"The last will be ashamed." Yang Ding looked at Chen Mo with a little gratitude.
"Can you put up a barrier on the city, those mountaintop thieves can't actually see the city, we just set up a barrier, and the arrows they shoot will be useless." Han Kai, who was following Chen Mo, looked at the high ground and said suddenly.
"They can't see it, but the Yuan army under the pass can see it, as long as the news spreads, they only need to throw the torch down, and this Yique Pass will be broken immediately." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"And how is this going to be fought?" Hua Xiong frowned.
"I'll talk about it later." After Chen Mo looked at the peaks on both sides, it was very difficult for these two mountains to attack the top of the mountain, especially when the other party had already taken precautions, and he had to think of another move to break the enemy.
Everyone went all the way back to Guancheng, and Chen Mo asked people to call Hu Zhen, but Hu Zhen had already fallen asleep and refused to come to discuss the matter.
"General don't blame, General Hu he ......" Hua Xiong also felt that Hu Zhen was a little too much, from the beginning to the present, except for the time when Hu Zhen took the dominant position, Chen Mo did not let him, and Chen Mo has been letting Hu Zhen at other times, and the military aircraft is a major event, how can he have personal grievances.
"It's okay, I have a plan, I wanted to invite Hu Zhen to discuss together, so how about you and me decide on this matter?" Chen Mo shook his head, now Hua Xiong is obedient, at least Chen Mo's order Hua Xiong will not refuse unceremoniously like Hu Zhen.
Yang Ding is now closer to Chen Mo, and with the three of them, most of the things in Yique Pass can be decided.
"The last general is willing to respect the general's order!" Hua Xiong and Yang Ding hugged their fists.
"The other party occupies the high ground, and the enemy must know about our army's coming to help, the two of you think that if you steal the camp tonight, will the other party be prepared?" Chen Mo sat down and asked while looking at the map.
"Of course." Hua Xiong naturally said that if he was the main commander of the enemy army, he would definitely guard against his own side to rob the camp tonight.
Yang Ding nodded and said: "The thief general Yu She, who is a general under Yuan Shu, is quite good at fighting and has rules for attacking the city. ”
"General Hua, if you are that Yu She, what if you succeed in breaking our army's strategy of robbing the camp?" Chen Mo asked.
Hua Xiong was a little stunned by the question, thought for a while, and said: "I will collect the troops and repair them, and fight again tomorrow." ”
"Okay, then we'll rob the camp!" Chen Mo smiled.
"Uh......" Hua Xiong and Yang Ding looked at Chen Mo blankly, puzzled, you have speculated that the other party must be prepared, what is the point of robbing the camp at this time? What kind of trick is this?
"Of course you can't rob the camp normally." Chen Mo took a bamboo slip, roughly drew the appearance of a military camp on it, and said: "The general military camp furnishings are probably like this, according to the terrain outside the gate, the thief army camp should be set up like this." ”
Hua Xiong nodded, the layout of the military camp is a basic skill for the leading generals, although there will be differences in subtleties according to different levels, but the general shape is basically the same, Chen Mo's painting skills are good, although it is outlined on bamboo slips, but it gives people a three-dimensional feeling.
"If my expectations are correct, if I send troops to attack the camp tonight, there will definitely be thieves outside the pass to scout the horses, so General Hua, you and I will each lead a team of men and horses out of the customs." Chen Mo used a pen to write down the names of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu at the four gates of the military camp according to the four phases: "After leaving the customs, I will directly attack the Qinglong position, at this time, these scouts will return to the camp to report, General Hua will go out of the city after my department, but there is no need to attack, and lead the light horse to the Vermilion Bird position to hide and hide." ”
Hua Xiong somewhat understood: "The general is talking about the front and back attacks?" ”
"No!" Chen Mo shook his head: "The thief army has a lot of troops, even if they know that someone is stealing the camp, they will not take out all their forces to encircle it, so even if they attack from the front and back, the opponent's position will not be chaotic, they don't know where we will attack the camp, so all parties will strengthen their vigilance, and it is meaningless to attack back and forth at this time." ”
"What the general means is ......" Hua Xiong was a little puzzled.
"After I withdraw, wait for a stick of incense, the general will be killed from the Suzaku position, and after entering the camp, just burn his camp tent, I will lead the troops to kill again and answer the general!" Chen Mo nodded at the Xuanwu position and said: "I will enter from the Xuanwu position and go straight to the White Tiger position, and you and I will join forces at the White Tiger position!" ”
"The last general commands!" Although Hua Xiong felt that it was a little troublesome and might not work, since Chen Mo had already given the order, he would not object, after all, although this strategy was a bit complicated, it sounded better than a direct night attack.
"As for General Yang!" Chen Mo looked at Yang Ding and said: "I'm not sure if the other party will ambush a group of men outside the city and grab the door after I leave the city, so General Yang's character is to defend the city gate!" If you find a thief, close the city gate immediately! ”
"The last general commands!" Yang Ding hurriedly hugged his fists.
The plan has been decided, at the moment Chen Mo and Hua Xiong went to arrange the people who attacked the camp, Chen Mo's headquarters were all infantry, but he also had a Hun cavalry under his command, after Yu Fuluo's death, these Hun soldiers rioted several times, and were suppressed by Chen Mo with the most cruel means, and doubled their training, just the training died, there were more than 500 people before and after, and the rest, the fear of Chen Mo has been integrated into his bones, and now Chen Mo gave an order, that is, let them rush into the fire pit without frowning.
This is not due to morale, but sometimes it is more effective than morale, at least it will be very convenient to command, more convenient than ordinary elites, and most importantly, these soldiers will not have any complaints about Chen Mo, even if they don't send money and food.
Chen Mo selected 800 people and personally took Dian Wei, because he knew that the other party must be on guard, so after finding that the other party's gate was not well guarded, Chen Mo left Yu Sheng to lead 200 people to guard the gate, once he found that the other party had soldiers and horses attacking from the rear, he would defend the gate to buy time for himself.
It's a pity that Chen Mo doesn't have a suitable cavalry general by his side now, otherwise this kind of thing would not require Chen Mo to take risks in person.
Chen Mo was not polite, as soon as he entered the camp, he set fire everywhere, just for a moment, the surrounding flames were soaring, but the tent that he burned was empty, Chen Mo didn't talk nonsense, he directly turned the horse's head and ran back with people.
As soon as he left the camp, he saw a series of torches in the distance rushing towards this side like a long dragon, blocking the way back to Yique Pass.
At the same time, soldiers and horses from the south rushed over.
"This way!" He was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to return to the city, so he took the men and horses and went east along the mainland.
"The traitor is gone!" A fire lit up in front of him, and a group of men and horses were killing towards Chen Mo's side, which surprised Chen Mo a lot.
"It seems that this Yu Shi has some ability!" Chen Mo saw that he was surrounded on three sides, he laughed, turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go, go back to the barracks, and set fire to me everywhere!" ”
The eight hundred cavalry did not panic at all, followed Chen Mo back to the barracks, and killed all the way towards the Xuanwu position, and after a while, half of the entire military camp fell into the sea of fire, and the Yuan army that chased Chen Mo could not continue to pursue, so he could only put out the fire first, Chen Mo took the opportunity to open the Xuanwu position gate and walked away......
