Chapter 33: Attacking Lanyu
"The general's explanation is accurate, it is indeed the siege of Wei to save Zhao." Zhu Qingshan said with a smile.
Luo Cheng asked suspiciously: "It's okay to attack Lan Yuguo, but there are two questions. ”
Zhu Qingshan: "General, please speak." ”
Luo Cheng: "First, the people in Qingfeng Village don't have war horses, do they still have combat power after the attack?" Second, with just a thousand people here, how much impact can it really have on Lan Yuguo? ”
When Lan Yuguo sent troops, Luo Chengcheng knew that the 50,000 horses brought by Chen Bao were one-third of the overall strength of Lan Yuguo, and compared to Chu State, Lan Yuguo's total strength was less than 200,000 troops, of course, it was not a cause for concern.
But for Xizhou, for Yumen Pass, this force is too strong.
Chen Bao took away one-third, isn't there still two-thirds left, what use can these more than 1,000 people have?
It is true that a realm martial artist can be invincible, but if Luo Cheng is really allowed to fight against 10,000 people single-handedly, the final outcome must be that he dies in battle, and it is not that he can kill 10,000 people, but he can fight against 10,000 people, he will be tired to death!
This is also why after the eighteen cavalry of Yanyun were destroyed before, Luo Cheng rushed and killed for a while at will and ran away, he alone could not defeat those heavy cavalry, the heavy cavalry was the elite, not he alone could be annihilated.
Zhu Qingshan said: "We are not going to attack Lan Yu Kingdom, but to harass it, the general must know that the warlords of Lan Yu Kingdom are divided, the royal court exists in name only, and other warlords from all walks of life in order to suppress Chen Bao's development, they have forced his territory to the closest position to Xizhou, which is why we know him so well." ”
"This time to go to Lanyu Country, what we have to face is Chen Bao's territory, and the remaining troops in his territory at the moment are less than 5,000, and there is no general who can take on a great responsibility, more than 1,000 brothers in Qingfeng Village are all good hands, plus our help, supplemented by the general's bravery, it is not difficult to take Chen Bao's empty territory."
"The general doesn't have to worry that the other warlords of Lan Yuguo will help, they can't wait to see Chen Bao suffer, once Chen Bao's territory is damaged, it is good if they don't fall into the ground, and they will never attack us, and Chen Bao can't let his territory be captured by us, because he can't occupy the Yumen Pass!"
Saying this, Luo Chengcheng understood, and then nodded.
Even if Chen Bao defeated the Yumen Pass, he would not be able to defend it, so he would definitely retreat, and the way to retreat was to the east of Lan Yuguo, close to the territory of Xizhou.
Once the territory is seized or destroyed, he has no way to retreat, so Chen Bao will definitely send troops back to help him at that time!
The 5,000 people left behind are actually the caretakers, Chen Bao and the other warlords of Lan Yuguo know that he won this battle, and it will be hiss or his after he goes back, but if he loses, then there will be nothing.
This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Bao is unwilling to take a huge risk to storm the Yumen Pass!
On the side of Yumen Pass before, the reason why Chu Yuqing and Bai Qi did not make up a plan to disrupt the rear of Lan Yuguo was that they did not know this information, and secondly, they did not know the desert terrain and could not march.
And now, all the problems are clear, and Luo Cheng will naturally not hesitate any longer.
The next day, Luo became the leader, Huang Zhi and Huang Kai were supplemented, and the remaining three spiritual realm masters of Qingfeng Village each led hundreds of people, Zhu Qingshan accompanied him as a military advisor, and more than 1,000 people almost poured out of the nest and went towards Lanyu Country, leaving only dozens of people to stay in Qingfeng Village.
Qingfeng Village was already on the edge of the desert, and they often went to Lan Yuguo to do things, so the distance was close and they were familiar with the road conditions, and it only took one day to cross the desert and come to the oasis where Lan Yuguo was located.
After resting for the night, he continued to travel early in the morning of the third day, and by noon he was already less than twenty miles away from Chen Bao's territory.
Luo Cheng ordered to continue to rest, and after eating and drinking enough to rest, he raided at night!
Zhu Qingshan and the others were very familiar with Chen Bao's territory, and Luo Cheng formulated a combat policy according to the information they gave, just waiting for dark.
"Whether the Yumen Pass is safe or not depends on this battle, everyone, I apologize to you for the previous aggressiveness, if this battle is successful, after I go back, I will ask for credit for you in front of the lord!"
After night fell, before leaving, Luo Cheng looked at Huang Zhi, Zhu Qingshan and others and said solemnly.
Huang Zhi grinned: "I don't care about this kind of thing, I just want to kill the enemy and ensure the peace of the people of Xizhou." ”
Zhu Qingshan also smiled and said: "If General Luo can convince us, after this battle, everyone in Qingfeng Village will be the head of the general!" ”
Luo Cheng shook his head: "Whether you can follow me or not depends on how the lord arranges it." ”
The crowd laughed again.
It was dark, Luo Cheng took the lead, and led the people of Qingfeng Village to quickly rush towards Chen Bao's territory.
They had already taken advantage of the night to approach this place, and after an order, Luo Cheng, Huang Zhi, Huang Kai and the other three spiritual realm masters, a total of six people, rode six war horses and rushed to the front, and more than a thousand Qingfeng Zhai masters followed closely behind.
The soldiers under Chen Bao's command were not easy to follow, and soon discovered their traces, the soldiers on the guard tower sounded the horn, sounded the alarm bell, and one after another "enemy attack" sounded at night, and Chen Bao's territory was running rapidly.
The general who stayed behind was just a Spirit Realm martial artist, and he was not at the peak of his cultivation, and he was inferior to Huang Zhi, but he had also been on the battlefield, and he could be regarded as having some ability.
After calming down, he figured out that the other party only had about a thousand people, and the general quickly made a deployment, relying on the defensive measures in the territory, plus five thousand defenders, these people must have come and gone, and he had this confidence.
However, he misestimated one point, that is, Luo Cheng's combat power!
The territory has no city walls, so the defense is completely incomparable with Yumen Pass, and the simple rejection of the horse was shattered by Luo Cheng with a spiritual wave sweep, and then more than a thousand people rampage like a tiger descending the mountain, Luo became a sharp knife, Huang Zhi and Huang Kai followed closely with three spiritual realm martial artists.
Where the six people passed, they left a piece of corpse, one in the realm, one at the peak of the spirit realm, and four in the spirit realm, this kind of combat power is by no means stoppable by ordinary soldiers, Luo Cheng and the others are like a bamboo, and they have not encountered the slightest difficult obstacle at all.
The battle was crushing from the beginning, although the number of thousands of people was small, but all of them were extremely powerful, and the five thousand defenders left behind by Chen Bao only had the most basic weapons, and it was difficult to make up even a complete set of armor.
Lan Yuguo is too poor!
"Whew!"
The spirit realm general left by Chen Bao was beheaded by Luo Cheng with a scimitar, his head flew up into the sky, and the cloud-piercing spear was accurately selected, and his head was raised high by Luo Cheng to demonstrate, so the defenders who couldn't resist it were even more defeated and retreated.
Countless people scattered and fled, panicking, and the leaders of Qingfeng Village led people to chase and kill, until late at night, when it was almost dawn, Chen Bao's territory was already in shambles.
With 3,000 enemy killed in the first battle and less than 300 casualties, this is undoubtedly a great victory!
The most important thing is the strategic significance of this battle, Chen Bao's rear is lost, and the military morale will definitely be lost on the frontal battlefield, and the Xizhou army with Bai Qi as the commander will never miss this opportunity!
Luo Cheng sent people to return to Yumen Pass overnight to report on the horse, and he himself took the rest of Qingfeng Village to continue to sweep Chen Leopard's territory, and killed anyone he saw!
"Hahaha!"
Huang Zhi and the others burst into laughter.
"Happy!"
"It's a pleasure!"
"It's been a long time since I've had this pleasure!"
The people of Qingfeng Village are not so much bandits and bandits, but rather the soldiers of Yumen Pass, Huang Zhi was the general of Yumen Pass before, and He Yi is still the deputy under his command, but when the defenders of Yumen Pass were transferred away, and Huang Zhi left with some henchmen, He Yi did not follow.
Yumen Pass can't be left without people, He Yi stayed definitely not because he was greedy for power, let alone thinking that Huang Zhi was gone, he He Yi would be able to be powerful in Yumen Pass, he just didn't want Yumen Pass to become an empty city!
This is the fundamental reason why after Chu Yuqing came to Yumen Pass, there were only 8,000 recruits here, and he couldn't even find a decent veteran!
From this point of view, Huang Zhi did something wrong, if it wasn't for the fact that Lan Yuguo didn't think about starting a war at the beginning, then if Chu Yuqing and Bai Qi couldn't get up, Yumen Pass would have been lost.
So Huang Zhi and others are still under a lot of pressure in their hearts, and now that they are venting, everyone feels extremely happy and proud!
