Chapter 253: Blockage at both ends
The patio gate separates the north and the south, and it is not just to prevent one end. Once this pass is held, no one on either side can enter or exit. However, Li Xin and Liao Chuan were not nervous at all, because the whole plan had already been arranged.
"The army is encamped on the spot, pay close attention to the situation in the pass! Let's just wait, now, it's up to Liu Xiaohai to see the result! After listening to the report, Li Xin nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said.
The Huashan army was stationed on the north side of Tianjing Pass, blocking the way for Yao Chang and others to go north. And the geographical location of this Tianjing Pass also determined that after one end was blocked, they could only go south, and finally retreat to Yewang County and Hanoi County.
In the Guannei, Yao Chang and others, who had just escaped back, were somewhat relieved to see that the Huashan Army could not advance.
"Unexpectedly, the Huashan army came so quickly, it must have been premeditated! Otherwise, how could you have arrived at the party before us? Now that the army has been defeated and my brother has died at the hands of Li Xin, let's talk about it, what should we do? In a corner of the pass, Yao Chang looked at the people around him and asked.
The people who fled with him were not only the generals of the Yan army, but also some strategists and generals under Yao Xiang. After all, there are quite a few troops of 4,000 people, especially Yao Xiang has some ideas of his own, and he also knows the ability of his younger brother, so he specially sent Quan Yi to his side to help.
Now under the First World War, there are only more than 2,000 people left in the 4,000 army, but the main dead are the Yan army, and the more than 1,000 people in Yao Xiang have not suffered much losses. Everyone is now headed by Yao Chang, and at this time, he is naturally presiding over this kind of discussion.
"We have few soldiers and generals, and it is difficult to be the enemy of the Huashan army. For now, I'm afraid we can only retreat to Hanoi County first, and then ask the court for support! A general of the Yan Army proposed at this time.
"Yes, now the army is unstable, and there is a threat from the Huashan army outside the pass. If we stay here for a long time, I am afraid that the army will not have the fighting spirit at all, and in the end it is easy to change. Send people to Hanoi County for help as soon as possible, send a large army to respond, let's leave some people to garrison here, and the rest will withdraw to Hanoi! The proposal was approved by many people, after all, there is only one way in front of us.
"What do you think about Kwon joining the army?" Regarding this proposal, Yao Chang did not immediately express his opinion, but looked at the right wing on the side. After all, as a strategist, he should think more thoroughly about this matter than ordinary generals.
"General, in my opinion, there are only two paths to choose from now. Or, let's open the gate and surrender to the Huashan army. Or, let's fight to the end and not retreat! Quan Yi glanced at the people around him, and then said slowly.
"Surrender aside, if you want to fight to the end, do you have a chance of winning?" Hearing this, no one refuted it, because it was an obvious thing! Yao Chang asked after pondering for a while.
"The odds of victory depend on the number of troops, the strength of the battle, and the strategy. In a certain opinion, we can't have an advantage in any of these items now. The Huashan Army is now guarding the gates, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of tackling key problems, which is only a good sign! Moreover, although this Tianjing Pass is steep, it is deserted around, and the army has no food and grass to support here, so I am afraid that it will collapse without a fight in a few days! Quan Yi said lightly.
"With the intention of joining the army with power, then we should withdraw to Hanoi first!" Yao Chang probably understood.
Indeed, this Tianjing Pass is located in the mountains, and the gate is not particularly large. On top of that, there was no plan to store a large amount of food in advance and make sure to hold on to it.
After all, before the army broke through the pass and entered the Shangdang, I only thought that the next road would be smooth, but who would have thought that it would be driven back in the blink of an eye!
"Just leave a part of the troops and hold this pass! As for how to fight the next battle, the general should leave it to others to consider! Quan Yi nodded, probably meaning the same as the general who made the suggestion before.
However, there are some other meanings in his words, which only Yao Chang can understand. After he asked Yao Chang to evacuate to Hanoi, he handed over the battle to the Yan army to fight, so as to preserve his strength.
The best result is naturally to wait until the Yan army and the Huashan army are defeated, and then it is best to come out and pick peaches by themselves. From Yao Chang's point of view, this method should be the best choice for their Yao Jiajun.
"What Quan Senjun said is good, everything will be according to your words! The army rested for a while, and then immediately withdrew back to Hanoi. This place was handed over to General Lu to lead five hundred soldiers to garrison, waiting for reinforcements to arrive! After thinking for a while, Yao Chang ordered.
The Yan general who was named couldn't help but have a bitter face at this time. Everyone knows that this is not a good errand, but there is no way, after all, if you give up the patio pass at this time, everyone will wait to finish playing together!
After the arrangements were made, Yao Chang didn't dare to wait for a long time, and hurriedly led more than 1,600 people, not even caring about it when it was getting dark, and retreated all the way to the direction of Wanzi Chengguan. There's no way, I'm really afraid of long nights and dreams!
After more than an hour, the army finally arrived outside the Bowl City Pass. At this time, the bowl city was closed, the lights were flickering, and in the surrounding dark mountains, everyone saw that their hearts were a lot more stable.
Especially those ordinary soldiers who were miserable and worried, they all felt as if they had arrived home at this time, and they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and relax.
"Let's go, enter the customs quickly, rest for the night after passing the customs, and rush to Yewang County tomorrow!" After taking a look, Yao Chang ordered.
The group quickly ran towards Guanxia, but the strange thing was that under such a big movement, Guanxia did not react. Seeing this scene, the right wing who followed behind Yao Chang couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, and quietly pulled Yao Chang back.
"What?" Yao Chang was about to enter the customs, and after discovering this, he couldn't help asking.
"Something is wrong! General and go slowly, let Yan Jun go and see first! Quan Yi didn't know what was going on, so he had to whisper.
Hearing this, Yao Chang couldn't help but glance at it, and found something strange. After thinking about it for a while, he quietly slowed down and let the elated Yan army generals rush to the city first. And himself, along with Quan Yi and some Yao family army generals, were secretly observing.
Just when those Yan soldiers rushed to the city to call the door, suddenly a lot of torches fell from above the city, and they lit up the city at once. Then, from above the city, countless arrows suddenly flew down and fell into these Yan soldiers.
In an instant, the original excitement suddenly turned into horror. At this time, even the dullest people understand that the people above the city are not only not their own people, but also enemies. In a panic, everyone hurriedly retreated.
However, the roads in the city are narrow, and there is not much room for turnaround, so that these soldiers squeeze me and I step on you, everyone is crowded together, but no one can escape.
The city only cared about releasing arrows, and in just a few waves of arrow raindown, Yao Chang's side was already dead and wounded by hundreds of people.
"It's not good, there is an ambush, retreat quickly!" When Yao Chang saw this scene, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, glanced at the right wing beside him gratefully, and then shouted.
The soldiers who stayed behind also saw the scene in front at this time, and they dared to stay. Without waiting for Yao Chang to speak, he had already fled in the direction of Tianjing Pass. Because he was afraid that the Huashan army in Wanzichengguan would chase after him, he didn't dare to stop at all along the way.
The road between Wanzi Chengguan and Tianjing Pass is quite steep, so you should pay attention to safety when walking during the day, let alone at night. On the way to escape, many people fell directly under the cliff without paying attention, and even the corpse capital could not be found.
It's a pity that they didn't know that Liu Xiaohai, who was at the Bowl City Pass at the moment, did not plan to pursue these enemy troops.
"General, shall we let them run away like this?" A lieutenant who followed Liu Xiaohai said with some eagerness.
"Run? Will they be able to run? Don't forget, the Shogun is waiting for them on the other side! We don't have many people here, so it's no problem to guard the bowl city pass, but it's thankless to chase them, especially at night. Our task is to block their escape to the south and drive them back! Do you understand? Hearing this, Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but smile coldly and said.
"Yes, the last general didn't think it through!" Hearing this explanation, the captain hurriedly bowed and said.
"Tell your brothers, take the time to rest, and especially pay attention to the movements of the enemy troops on the wild king's side. We came quietly this time, and we can't let the other side find out that this bowl of Chengguan has been taken by us. Otherwise, if the opponent's army is coming, we may have to suffer from the enemy! Liu Xiaohai turned around, looked at the south, and explained.
"Yes, the last general will arrange it!"
This time, Liu Xiaohai only brought 300 people over. However, these 300 people are all elite people after selection. He took this group of people and quietly walked out of Yiguan, and then gradually approached Wanzichengguan in the northeast along the mountains and forests.
He won this level on the night of the first day, almost at the same time as the Battle of Gaodu.
Since the inside and outside of the pass are their own territory, some of the Yan soldiers guarding the pass never thought that there would be enemies to attack them. So, taking advantage of the night, the bowl was taken down by him and his people.
After that, he didn't do anything, just stayed quietly and waited for the result on Li Xin's side. For him, the purpose of this operation was only to block the road and block back the enemy from the patio.
