Chapter 855: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
With the onset of winter, the days become shorter and shorter, lengthening the endless nights and making the dawn of each day late.
The time had just entered the beginning of the unitary hour, and it was the darkest time before dawn, Ye Liyou was awakened by a rush of footsteps, hurriedly dressed and got up and walked out of the door, and saw his own soldiers standing at the door of the room in a little panic.
"Why are you so flustered?" Ye Liyu frowned, his cheeks were sharp and angular, his thin lips, and his single eyelid eyes were hard to mess with.
"General, good ...... It seems that the earthquake is on fire. The pro-soldier stammered a little nervously in the face of Noriyu's deep eyes.
"It's on fire...... Noriyu still frowned.
"The flames are soaring into the sky, what we can see clearly here, and there will definitely be no mistakes, which is the direction of the Great Earthquake Pass." The pro-soldier explained again.
Ye Liyou didn't even say anything this time, and walked directly out of the room in the direction of Anrong Guan's door, and walked for a while before asking, "Can you send someone to investigate?" ”
"Not yet, the last general thought of asking the general to make a decision first." The soldier said as he followed.
Ye Liyou nodded slightly with satisfaction, he was at odds with Li Ren and Li Xiao, which was a well-known thing in Guanshan.
And this time, Lord Su Daosu handed over the matter of pinching Ye Qing of the Song Dynasty to himself, and also mobilized more than 3,000 people of Li Xiao for his own use, Li Xiao is afraid that he has already scolded his eight generations of ancestors in his stomach in the past two days, right?
The earthquake suddenly caught fire in the early hours of the morning, is this what Li Xiao is secretly doing again? Or is it ...... Because you are dissatisfied with yourself, you want to drag yourself back and grab credit from yourself?
Even without Ye Liyou climbing the beacon tower, now as long as he stands above the gate of the camp, he can vaguely see the scene of the fire in the direction of the Great Earthquake Pass, especially in the darkest time before dawn, the firelight is particularly bright and dazzling, as if it has further narrowed the distance between the two passes.
"Did you find anything else?" At the cold dawn, Ye Liyou's eyes under the light of the torch were also extremely cold, looking at the soldiers on duty like knives, and after a pause, he said, "Do you hear the sound of fighting, horses' hooves, etc.?" ”
"General Hui, I didn't hear anything this night, but a moment ago, all of a sudden, a fire rose in the sky over there, without warning." When the soldier knew what Noriyu was asking, he hurriedly replied.
Nodding silently, Ye Liyu once again set his eyes on the western sky, the fire in the sky showed no signs of weakness, and he watched from a distance, as if there was a feeling of becoming more and more violent.
"General, look at the ...... over there."
Noli Yu followed the soldier's finger and looked at it, only to see that at the end of the dark night, which was still dark just now, accompanied by a little starlight, an imperceptible flame suddenly turned into a sky of fire and burned at the end of the night.
"Li Xiao, bastard, can't he really rob me of my credit?" Ye Liyou closed his thin lips tightly, and his eyes were fixed on the two fires in the sky, as if he could already see that in order to snatch the credit, Li Xiao disregarded the overall situation and privately ordered his subordinates to fight against the Song people who were supposed to go to the Great Earthquake Pass yesterday.
Under the raging fire, the sound of fighting was all over the sky, the Song people and the Xia army were intertwined in the Great Earthquake Pass camp, and the two largest grain and grass camps had been ignited, even if it was far away, you could feel the scorching sensation of the fire.
The Xia soldiers and the Xia army who poured into the camp of the Great Earthquake Pass have been fighting for more than an hour, and until now, no soldier of the Great Earthquake Pass has had the opportunity to escape from the front and rear camp gates to ventilate the news.
The head of Li Xiao, who was originally used to deter the Xia people, no longer knew where it had been kicked, and at this time, there was only one headless fat corpse in the room, drained of blood, sitting quietly on a chair, and the raging fire had already burned half of the house, and it was rapidly devouring the fat headless corpse.
"Open the camp gate to the east of the Great Earthquake Pass." Ye Qing sat on horseback, looked at the camp where there were not many people resisting, and said calmly.
With the addition of Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, the morale of the defenders of the entire Great Earthquake Pass completely collapsed, and in the face of the wolves-like ferocious Flower Planter Army, the Xia people were completely unable to parry, and under the fragile situation, the battle of the Great Earthquake Pass only lasted for a short quarter of an hour, and then it became a unilateral massacre of the Flower Planter Army again.
Zhong Silkworm had already begun to gather the soldiers under his command, and when he appeared in front of Ye Qing's eyes covered in exhaustion mixed with blood, he still had the strength to show two rows of white teeth
Smirked.
"Don't be too happy, I don't plan to let you rest now, go out of the camp immediately, and set up an ambush ahead, but ......." Ye Qing lightly clamped the horse's belly, and as the war horse took two steps forward and got closer to Zhong Silkworm, Ye Qing said with a smile on his face: "But you must remember that if there are reinforcements in Anrong Pass rushing to this side, you only need to see the first wave of people coming, and you don't have to expose your ......." ”
"The last general understands that since we want to divert the tiger from the mountain and lure the snake out of the hole, and want to seize the Anrong Pass, it is best to wait for them to come out of the Anrong Pass, and then go to tackle the problem, isn't that the case?" Zhong Silkworm wiped the blood on his face and said.
Ye Qing didn't feel the slightest relief because of the breakthrough of the Great Earthquake Pass, so he sighed in the cold air, and then said: "We don't have much time, when the sun rises, we must take the Anrong Pass, and then go straight to the red deer without stopping." Yesterday, in one day, the news of the loss of the Guguan was learned by the Hot Gongji, so if we delay the time in Anrong Pass, it will be equivalent to giving the Hot Gongji time to kick our ass from behind, and Hot Gongji, he will never be in Xingqing Mansion at this moment, it is very likely that he is waiting for the news that we were ambushed and died in Lanzhou Mansion. Anjung Sekino is difficult, but you are the ....... ”
"Don't worry, my lord, when the sun rises today, the last general will promise to take Ye Liyou's head and wait for you at the gate." Zhong Silkworm put away her smile and replied positively.
"There may be unforeseen consequences in tackling key problems, and it is also possible that Mo Xiaobao and I will not be able to completely contain the enemy army, which will make them sneak attack you from behind, at this time, no matter what method you use, you must remember to break the pass!" Ye Qing leaned over and patted Zhong Silkworm on the shoulder, and then made way for Zhong Silkworm so that Zhong Silkworm could lead nearly three thousand people out of the customs immediately.
The distance between the Great Earthquake Pass and Anrong Pass is not too far, and Zhong Silkworm has already delayed some time in the Great Earthquake Pass, so if you want to find a suitable position for them to hide before encountering the reinforcements of Anrong Pass, and wait for the Anrong Pass to be empty before tackling the problem, you need to rush to the aid of others, send scouts to investigate the front of the Great Earthquake Pass, and quickly find a place to hide.
After watching Zhong Silkworm's 3,000 people set off from the camp gate of the Great Earthquake Pass one after another, Ye Qing's eyes couldn't help but look at the gradually brightening eastern sky, and he didn't know how Ye Liyou of Anrong Pass would choose, whether to only send scouts to investigate the truth and reality, or directly send reinforcements over when the scouts couldn't go back.
Of course, no matter what form of war, there is never a certainty, war has always been a game for adventurers and gamblers, as long as you feel that you are more than 50% sure, then there is no need to be indecisive and look ahead.
There are those who use the wrong tactics on the battlefield and cause their own army to be defeated, but more cases of defeat almost all come from the indecision of the commander-in-chief, looking forward and backward, being afraid of this for a while, afraid of the wolf and afraid of the tiger, and finally delaying the best fighter, so that their own situation and blink of an eye will change from active to passive, and the advantage will be transformed into the inferior side, and the balance of victory will unconsciously tilt towards the other side.
The reason why Ye Qing bet that Ye Liyou would send reinforcements to help Li Xiao was not because of the good relationship between the two, on the contrary, from the conversation with Li Xiao yesterday, it could be completely heard that there must be various contradictions between Ye Liyou and Li Xiao, or various reasons why they look down on each other.
But Ye Qing always remembered that Li Xiao had said yesterday that Ye Liyou is not greedy for women and does not like money, so is it possible for Ye Liyou to be really a saint who does not eat fireworks in the world?
Just as Shi Miyuan is greedy for money and is not good at sè, Han Yanxuan loves power and likes sè, but he regards money like dung, Ye Liyou in Ye Qing's analysis, he can completely apply Han Yanxuan's characteristics to him, neither greedy for money nor good sè, then this person must like power.
In addition, he is not on good terms with Li Xiao, Li Xiao also looks down on him, and he also looks down on Li Xiao, which is enough to show that this person just wants to climb up and be promoted by his military exploits.
What's more, Su Dao watched all this in Malu Pass again, so as long as there was a big movement in Dazhen Pass, from Ye Liyou's point of view, like a person with persecution paranoia, he would inevitably think at the first time that this was Li Xiao who wanted to grab credit from him, and planned to swallow the Song army alone and take all the military merits.
But he had to beware of whether this was a trick specially designed for him by Li Xiao, so in order to avoid disobeying Su Dao's military orders, and in case of being exploited by the Song people, Ye Liyou would inevitably send his own henchmen to help, and leave himself and others to guard Anrong Pass together.
When Mo Xiaobao hurried over, there were only scattered pursuits left in the entire camp of the Great Earthquake Pass, and most of the soldiers had already begun
Cleaning the battlefield under the sky sè is about to light up.
"Your Excellency......." Mo Xiaobao rode his horse to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "This is handed over to you, facing the camp gate of the Xia Kingdom, try to block it as much as possible, no matter what method you use, outside the gate, it would be more perfect if you could still set a few traps, no matter what, we have to prevent Xia people from rushing from behind." ”
"Yes, sir. It's just that you have to be careful next, Zhong Silkworm wants to steal Anrong Pass by surprise, and the last general will set up an ambush here again, my lord, is it unnecessary to set up an ambush....... Mo Xiaobao still wants to fight side by side with Ye Qing, after all, the next step is to rely on Ye Qing to lead a thousand people to fight head-on with the Xia soldiers of Anrong Pass, and this pressure will definitely not be small.
"Then I'll wait for you to rush to my aid when you're done, but in any case, your ambush at the Great Earthquake Pass will determine whether we will have enough time to rest once we break through the Anjung Pass. After all, after passing the Anrong Pass, the real fight and cruel battlefield will appear in front of our eyes. Ye Qing looked at the eyes gurgling, afraid that this guy didn't take the matter of setting a trap at the Great Earthquake Pass to stop the Xia people's reinforcements to heart, and would be hastily perfunctory, so he had to remind Mo Xiaobao of the importance of setting up an ambush here.
Sure enough, as Ye Qing expected, when he finished speaking, Mo Xiaobao put away the trace of relaxation on his face, nodded solemnly at Ye Qing, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will never live up to your expectations, but the last general will also rush over to meet you as soon as possible." ”
"Be careful, don't be careless." Ye Qing looked at the time, then turned his horse's head and began to slowly gallop in the direction of Anrong Pass.
Breaking two checkpoints in a row in one day and one night, for Ye Qing, it is not an achievement, the solid pass is the pass that was abandoned, and the big earthquake pass is also a pass deliberately created by the Xia people to be lax in defense and used to numb their vigilance, the purpose is to let themselves continue to move forward without doubting him, so as to enter Anrong Pass with confidence.
Of course, whether it was Hot Gongji, Su Dao, or the guards of the various passes on Guanlong Road, they never thought that they had already known that they wanted to ambush him since they had not entered Xingqing Mansion, and naturally they would not have thought that as soon as they entered Guanshan, they would take the initiative to attack and start uprooting from the first pass, and it was like a massacre.
This is definitely something that the hot Gongji, and even the entire Great Xia Kingdom could not expect, and for Ye Qing, this is also the only opportunity for him to take the initiative and seize the initiative.
He didn't leave the Dasan Pass, and he didn't let Qin Jiayuan Road go, but instead chose the Guanlong Road, which was one more pass than the pass, which could be regarded as a means for Ye Qing to paralyze the hot and hot Gongji and others, and it could be regarded as a way for him to lead the army of planting flowers and take a bloody road of death and rebirth.
The eastern sky gradually revealed the white of the fish belly, and the scouts who began to send out were gradually increasing, and even Hai Dongqing on his shoulders seemed to smell the delicious taste of blood again, jumping around on Ye Qing's shoulders excitedly.
led the army of 1,000 people behind him, and after completely walking out of the jurisdiction of the Great Earthquake Pass, the 1,000-strong army of the flower planters became three cavalry teams on the way, the old Beiwei army in front, Ye Qing in the middle, and the flower planter army in the rear.
The scouts came one after another with the news of encountering the scouts of Anrong Guanxia, and Ye Qing's scouts also carried out the order extremely firmly, no matter who they met, they would be killed on the spot.
Therefore, Ye Liyou at the head of the city, looking at the sky in the east, the fish belly white, the raging fire in the sky became lighter and lighter, but after the thick black smoke rose from the beacon tower, his brows were wrinkled even tighter.
He believed that Li Xiao would not joke about this matter because of his personal grudges, and he would not use the wolf smoke of the beacon tower to drag his hind legs, so there was only one reason at the moment, that is, the dead fat man could not eat everyone in the Song army, and even was in a precarious situation, so he had to light the wolf smoke and ask himself and Guguan for help.
"General, none of the scouts have returned." The pro-soldier next to him said to Ye Liyou, who had been standing above the gate for more than an hour.
"Don't worry, let's wait, by the way, let Ye Liqun come to see me." The corners of Ye Liyou's mouth said with a smile on his face.
He was not in a hurry to send troops out immediately, in his opinion, as long as the reinforcements he sent out at that time could catch up with the defenders of the distant Guguan Pass at the same time, it would be enough.
What's more, now in the Great Earthquake Pass, it is the dead fat man who is uncomfortable, and it is the soldiers under his command who are dead, and they have a fart relationship with themselves, it is best to all of them are dead, and the strength of the Song people has been exhausted, wouldn't it be better to clean up the mess by yourself?
