"Da Nan Pass is a choice, but if you only win this pass, you will inevitably be attacked from both sides. If you choose one of the two cities of Yulin and Liangshan and take it together with Da Nanguan, do you think you should take that city? Yang Congyi asked again.

I have just talked about the problem of Yulin, there is no doubt that Yulin seems to be the most suitable to win, but in fact it is extremely risky.

Everyone thought for a moment, and then understood what Yang Congyi meant.

"Liangshan was originally the enemy's front-line base camp, now Li Yue's army has controlled Dananguan and Yulin, approaching Yongzhou, then Liangshan has become the enemy's rear, the front battle, can not achieve results for a long time, will be transferred to the rear, Liangshan's defensive strength is probably not strong, we can consider taking Liangshan, and then control Dananguan, completely cut off the front line and the rear, and so on the front line of the enemy army cut off, will retreat, then the Yongzhou army will take the opportunity to cover up, the enemy will definitely be defeated, flee back to Liangshan, or directly bypass Liangshan, return to Li Yue." Yao Chang analyzed.

"Putting aside the rest, how should Liangshan be taken?"

"Is Liangshan City high? Liangshan has few soldiers, and if the city is not high, it can be attacked. ”

"A big border city, the city is strong, and the walls are three feet high."

"Set up an ambush to lure the enemy out of the city?"

"Liangshan is behind enemy lines, how to lure the enemy out of the city. Since the army is small and it is an important town, if it were me, I would not go out of the city easily, Li Yue people have been at war with the Zhancheng State for many years, and they have used the trick of luring the enemy many times, and I am afraid that it will not work to use it against them in Liangshan. ”

"The prison army should have already thought of a good idea, so don't beat around the bush to fish for our appetite." Su Zhong shouted.

Yang Congyi said: "Okay, then I'll tell me what I think." Just now you all talked about the Great South Pass, this pass must be taken, there is nothing to say. And how to take Liangshan, the population is 20,000 or 30,000, and the defenders are more than 2,000 people, it is not suitable for us to storm or lure the enemy out of the city, so there is only one way to take it, sneak into the city, and the inside and the outside should be combined. There are not many people who go in, twenty or thirty people are enough, take the city gate at night, and the Xuanwei army will go straight into the city, fight head-on, and take the city in one fell swoop. ”

"That's the easiest way to do it. I am willing to take people to sneak into Liangshan and be a pioneer! Su Zhong said loudly.

Yang Congyi said well, and then continued: "It's just that the march is difficult, if you want to appear in Liangshan unnoticed, you have to climb over the mountains, and it will take at least five days. Once the enemy forces on the front line retreat in two ways, passing through Yulin and Tongmian, our rear road will be in danger. Therefore, we also have to transfer the Youyi army to lure them north, so that the enemy army does not dare to go south to Tongmian, so as to ensure that we have no worries about the back road, once the enemy army retreats to the Great South Pass, we can not resist, so we will burn Liangshan City and return to Tongmian. What do you guys think? ”

"I'm afraid you can't move." When it came to You Yijun, Yao Chang was angry in his heart.

Yang Congyi said: "Don't worry, I have my own way." Then he put away the map, and then said: "The route from Tongmian to Liangshan has been explored, and the whole army will rest for two days, and the troops will send to Liangshan two days later!" ”

"Yes!" The congregation answered with a loud voice.

The generals left, Su Zhong was left alone, and after Yang Congyi communicated with him, he asked him to go back to select people, and immediately rushed to Liangshan and mixed into the city to standby.

The whole army rested for two days, the camp was quiet, and although no orders were received, everyone knew in their hearts that the battle was about to begin.

In the past two days, Yang Congyi called the spies sent by Tongmian to investigate the news, carefully inquired and checked many details, summoned the generals, solved their doubts one by one, and arranged tasks.

It is not difficult to take Liangshan, but the difficult thing is how to hold it after taking it. Therefore, the passage from Liangshan to Li Yue should also be controlled, so as to gain more time for the garrison of Liangshan, and at the same time, it is necessary to quietly take the Great South Pass, and the enemy army in Yulin cannot be aware of it in the short term.

Two days later, the whole army marched out, crossed the mountains and mountains through Tongmian, and headed westward, all the way was difficult and difficult, needless to say. Fortunately, a few days ago, the Xuanwei army practiced for several days, and they already had experience in climbing mountains and trees, and the high mountains and deep valleys, dense forests and vines could not stop the army from moving forward.

Just when the Xuanwei army marched all the way to the west, the Youyi army that stayed in Dongxing Town finally waited for tens of thousands of people and the grain and grass sent by Qinzhou City.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the You Yijun stayed in Dongxing Town for another three days, and waited for the Qinzhou Prefecture government officials to send the grain and grass to the mountain with tens of thousands of people, and then the whole army marched to the mountain.

It took 10,000 Youyi troops two and a half days to arrive at Natong, and the soldiers and generals had to rest, and this rest was two days. Then go north for five miles, turn to the west, go to the middle of the mountain, the Youyi army who is accustomed to the wide and flat official road, where can you take a sheep intestine path, the marching speed is extremely slow, more than 60 miles of mountain road, a whole four days.

As soon as he arrived in Dongzhong to camp and rest, a personal soldier came to report that the Xuanwei army had an important military briefing.

Li Gengda looked down on the hairy boy Yang Jianjun in his heart, and even more looked down on the Xuanwei army who had to carry their own food, grass and ordnance when they marched to fight. Originally, I didn't want to see it, but after thinking about it, they poured out of the nest and could find out some useful news for the You Yijun, maybe they couldn't say.

Immediately, his expression was relieved, and he still saw what military information they could send.

As soon as the Xuanwei Army herald entered the camp, Li Geng said, "What military information do you have?" ”

The herald said: "The Xuanwei army has gone to capture Liangshan, an important border town on the Li-Yue border, six days ago, and captured the Great South Pass. Now Yulin City has two thousand defenders, if the speed of the Youyi army is fast enough, the merit of recapturing Yulin will be given to the Youyi army, if within six days, the Youyi army can not take Yulin City, Xuanwei Army will send troops from Da Nanguan in six days to capture Yulin City. ”

"What? Just with 3,000 people, you want to go south to the pass and take the city? Li Geng couldn't help but want to laugh, he didn't dare to say such a big thing with 10,000 people, and the small 3,000 Yi Guards dared to boast, I was afraid that they would be tired of being alive.

"Yes, the army of the Xuanwei Army should have arrived near Liangshan today, if there is no big accident, Liangshan can be captured tonight, and Da Nanguan can be taken tomorrow." The herald's tone was firm and his voice was loud, as if he had already taken the two places.

Li Geng's face tightened, and he immediately asked, "How many enemy troops are there in Liangshan?" How many are there in Da Nanguan? ”

The herald told the truth: "There are 2,000 old and weak defenders in Liangshan, and 500 people in Dananguan. ”

"What, that's it?" Li Geng stood up suddenly, he couldn't be calm anymore, he was annoyed, and he couldn't wait for the You Yijun to put on his wings and rush to Liangshan and Dananguan immediately!

"Yes, the news that our garrison in Tongmian sneaked into Liangshan and Dananguan to investigate and came back is absolutely true." The herald was telling the truth, and naturally he was not guilty.

"Order, the whole army will pull out and take back Yulin!" Li Geng's face was ugly, and he hurriedly left the camp with his sword.

The camp tent that had just been set up rested, and as soon as the order was given, the march was immediately dismantled, and the Youyi army cursed and cursed from top to bottom, but they could only follow the order.

The tent was quickly dismantled, and an hour later the whole army moved north.

Li Geng secretly scolded Yang Congyi countless times in his heart, this kid is too unkind, he found out about the enemy early, but he didn't report in advance, but the soldiers came to Liangshan City to report, did he want to see You Yijun's jokes? The little Huiyi Guardian still wants to win one pass and two cities in one go, and become a big fat man in one bite, be careful to break your teeth!

No, it's not supposed to be a joke, what qualifications do they have to watch jokes. They only have more than 3,000 people, even if they take Liangshan and Da Nan Pass, they must divide their troops to defend, not only to prevent Li Yue from snatching Liangshan, but also to prevent the enemy army of Yulin City from seizing Da Nan Pass.

After the army took action, Li Geng calmed down and quickly figured out the situation of the Xuanwei army, what to give You Yijun a meritorious service, but he just wanted You Yijun to help defend the Great South Pass, how could 10,000 elite Youyi army become the foil of the Huiyi Guard!

This meritorious tour army must all be collected in the bag, Yulin, Dananguan, Liangshan, don't want to fall into the hands of the escort team!

"Drop your baggage, speed up your march, and you must rush to Yulin City within five days!"

The military order of the commander soon spread throughout the Youyi army, and the soldiers left everything except the weapons in their hands, marched with all their might, and rushed to Yulin.

After five days of forced marching, passing through the barren and populated canyon, crossing the uninhabited primitive jungle, and losing dozens of people, the Xuanwei army finally arrived ten miles east of Liangshan City, and then the whole army rested here.

At the same time, he sent someone to sneak into the city and inform Su Zhong of the agreed attack time, so that he could open the east gate at midnight the next day.

The spies who went to the city to investigate reported that everything was normal in Liangshan, and that grain and grass were transported into the city from time to time at the east, south, and west gates, while grain and grass were transported out of the north gate.

It seems that after burning the enemy's 100,000 loads of military rations last time, the impact on the enemy army is not small, and the three city gates are opened, collecting grain from all over the country, it seems that there is not much food in Liangshan City, which is not enough to supply the 50,000 troops on the front line.

After resting for a day, in the afternoon of the next day, Yang Congyi summoned Yao Chang, Yuan Hua and other battalion commanders and began to arrange the task of seizing the city.

"Set off tonight on the first watch, arrive at the east of the city before the third watch, and wait for the order from the city one mile away. After receiving the order, Yuan Huaying advanced to the city, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to the north gate, and all the way to the west gate. Liu Shiying then entered the city, also divided into two routes, controlling the south gate and the east gate. Yao Chang's camp and Zhang Dai's camp entered the city after Su Zhong's camp, and the three battalions went straight to the defender's camp. I led the guard battalion and attacked the state capital yamen. After Yao Changying and Zhang Dai completed their tasks, they went to the streets to patrol, and if there were night walkers, they should be killed, but they should not break into people's houses at night, so as not to increase casualties. The four gates are closed, and if anyone approaches and wants to leave the city, they will also be killed. Do you get it? ”

"Understood!" The four of them walked together.

"Good. This is the success or failure of the first battle for you, to me, to the entire Xuanwei army, are very important, take Liangshan, you can cut off the supply of food and grass to the enemy army in Yongzhou, once the enemy army retreats, the Xuanwei army will make the first great contribution, you are just around the corner! Once you're in the city, you'll do your best to take the gates as quickly as possible and destroy the enemy! ”

"The last general will definitely do his best!" The four of them quickly left after making a statement.
