Chapter 31 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Wushan,.
Finally, after waiting for sunset, the soldiers who had been sent to Paz to inquire about the military finally returned with news.
Seeing the soldier who inquired about the news coming back, Jiuhuang asked, "How is Paz doing now?" ”
The soldiers returned to Wushan from the city of Path under the mountain non-stop, and before they had time to rest and take a breath, they listened to Jiuhuang's questioning, and told Jiuhuang what they had seen and asked from Paz one by one.
"The last general obeyed the instructions of the county lord, dressed up as a city wanderer, and after going down from Wushan to the outside of the city of Pass, he wandered outside the city with some beggars, watching the merchants of the city gate of Path Batu Jingzhou are bustling with each other, and the city of Path does not care because Batu is at war with the Celestial Empire, and the guards of the city gate are also very lazy, and there is not much inspection of the passers-by."
Jiuhuang listened to the soldier's report, and bowed his head to think about the soldier's words; Until the soldier finished speaking, Jiuhuang still did not come back to his senses.
Seeing this, the plain girl who was standing aside and listening saw Jiuhuang's appearance, glanced at the soldier who was panting and said, "You go down and rest first!" ”
After the soldiers left, Jiuhuang raised his head to look at Su Nu, and asked Su Nu after the soldiers' report, "What do you think of Path's affairs?" ”
Su Nu had already listened to the soldier's words on the side just now, and then thought about it slightly in her heart and analyzed it.
Now that she heard Jiuhuang ask, Su Nu said her opinion, "If it is really as the soldier said, then the defender of the city of Paz will either do it on purpose, or in his opinion, Batu is fighting with the Celestial Empire, and Batu has more than 400,000 troops stationed in Jingzhou, he thinks that it is impossible for the Celestial Empire army to come to shoot and die, so it is so sluggish." ”
"So which one do you think they prefer?" Jiuhuang asked again after Su Nu's words fell.
When Su Nu heard this, she immediately replied without thinking: "I think they are more inclined to the latter; According to the warlike nature of the Batu, if the former is the former, it is not at all suitable for their nature; You know, they could not have known about the fact that we had led our army into Batuu; If they had known, we would not have been able to consult here in peace about how to pass through Paz. ”
That's right, after listening to Su Nu's answer, Jiuhuang nodded in agreement and thought of going with her. However, in addition to this reason, Jiuhuang also made a decision in her heart to think that Path's main general might be more inclined to the latter one, which made her so decided, and this thought was the strong intuition in her heart.
Don't ask her why she trusts her instincts so much, because this strong intuition that Lord Paz will be the latter is too strong. Although it is too absurd to use intuition to determine the military situation, Jiuhuang always believes that his intuition must be not wrong.
Jiuhuang once again did a good job of studying the terrain map laid on the ground, and then said to Su Nu: "Although Path's defense is relatively lazy now, we have an army of 30,000, even if we enter Path in batches, it will arouse the suspicion of the chief general of Path, and with so many large armies, it is impossible to enter Paz in batches on the same day, and we don't have much time to waste on this." ”
Jiuhuang said to Su Nu while looking at the terrain map, then stretched out his slender jade finger, and his index finger stayed on the ground trying to get on an inconspicuous small black dot, and continued: "Do you see this black dot?" If there is no mistake in this land attempt, then this should be a small village after Paz, and according to the name above, it is a desert village. ”
Su Nu looked at the place pointed by Jiuhuang, and it was indeed marked that this place was called Desert Village, but Su Nu didn't understand what Jiuhuang meant by saying this to her, "Is there anything wrong here?" ”
Jiuhuang kept thinking in his mind, then raised his head and said: "I want to use this place as a meeting point, and I will lead a thousand soldiers as the vanguard to lure out the Batu army in Paz City, and you take advantage of the chaos to take the remaining soldiers from Paz to this place, and after you all have passed, I will take this thousand soldiers to join you in the desert." ”
This idea came to Jiuhuang's mind when she saw the desert village from the terrain map after listening to the soldiers' military intelligence report to the city of Pass.
It's just that after hearing about Jiuhuang's method, although Su Nu agreed, she said: "This method is feasible; It's just that I will lead an army of 1,000 as the vanguard to lead away the army of Batu in Paz City, while you lead the rest of the army through the desert village of Pathau and wait. ”
Hearing this, Jiuhuang glanced at the Su Nu and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the Su Nu who knew her intentions: "You are the main general, how can I let you take this risk; And as the deputy general this time, I should be the striker. What's more, Paz is an important city at the border pass of Batu, and the people sent by King Batu to garrison it will definitely not be ordinary soldiers, they still have thousands of people. ”
Although what Su Nu said is not wrong, in Jiuhuang's heart, although she and Su Nu have not seen each other for so many years, in each other's hearts, they both regard each other as their relatives, so why should they be so careless in front of their relatives?
Even if the thousands of Batu soldiers stationed in Paz were the elite of Batu, then she couldn't let Su Nu go on an adventure.
"I'll still be the striker, and you will take advantage of the chaos with the rest of the army to pass Pass."
Jiuhuang said undoubtedly, Su Nu still wanted to insist that she be the striker, but Jiuhuang suddenly said: "This is a military order!" ”
The two words of the military order pressed on Su Nu's head like a mountain, so that she could no longer argue with Jiuhuang. Immediately, Su Nu said: "Then you bring 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard to lure away the Batu soldiers in Paz City, there may have been too few people before." ”
Jiuhuang shook his head and said, "Just a thousand people, and all the rest will be taken by you to take advantage of my soldiers to lead Paz away, and pass through Paz to the desert village." ”
At the insistence of Jiuhuang, Jiuhuang finally led a thousand Heavenly Dynasty soldiers as the vanguard to lead away the Batu army in Path City, while Su Nu led the remaining soldiers through the Path Dao Desert Village to wait.
After the agreement was reached, the Nine Phoenix let the army continue to rest here for two hours; At nightfall, Jiuhuang jumped out of the elite army of 30,000 soldiers and set out from Wushan as a vanguard under him, heading towards the city of Path at the bottom of the mountain.
At this time, in the city of Path, although Batu is now fighting with the Celestial Empire, because after Batu occupied Jingzhou ten years ago; Originally known as Batu Pass on the border with the Celestial Empire, Paz had begun to relax his vigilance ten years ago; Now even in the face of the battle between Batu and the Celestial Empire, Pasi's defense is quite relaxed, because in the eyes of Path's main general Qianmo, Jingzhou has hundreds of thousands of Batu's overall situation, even if the people of the Celestial Empire want to fight, they can't beat Pasi.
And they didn't know that although Jingzhou North Batu occupied, the Celestial Empire was also in a big war with Batu, and the Batu army in Jingzhou was also garrisoned by more than 400,000 people, but under the unknowable situation of the Jingzhou Batu army, Jiuhuang had already entered Batu with 30,000 elite soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and now it is coming to Paz City with 1,000 elite soldiers.
At the point where he reached the force outside the city of Paz, Jiuhuang ordered the soldiers of the Celestial Empire behind him to stop; It was here that he himself looked around, and then instructed the soldiers to dig many small pits in this place under the darkness of the night, and even asked the soldiers to sharpen some of the branches she had told them to bring from Wushan and stick them in the holes they had dug, and then cover them with a layer of sand.
When this is done, it will be an hour later; Jiuhuang immediately ordered the soldiers to rest here for a while, and then continued to walk towards the city of Path.
The night was surprisingly dark tonight, as if it knew what was going to happen tonight, so it hid in the clouds early, revealing only a faint glimmer of light.
Because it is a border pass, only during the day, passers-by will have it; And once the night came, everyone listened to this and went in and out of the gate.
Therefore, at this time, at the gate of Pass, although the lights are bright, a high city, although it is a small city, it is also an important pass of Batu, but except for the guards who are guarding the city gate in twos and threes and squinting, there are no pedestrians at the gate of Pass, and even a few soldiers are sparsely guarding the city tower.
When Jiuhuang took a thousand soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty to the gate of the city, the Batu soldiers guarding the city gate did not find any trace of Jiuhuang and others.
Or Batu's defenders seemed to know that they were in danger, and suddenly opened their eyes, and saw Jiuhuang looking at him with murderous intent, and the subconscious soldiers exclaimed, "There are enemy troops!" ”
This was the last thing this soldier said in the world, and after he exclaimed, he was used by Jiuhuang to wipe his neck. Although there was only a small cut on the neck, the warm blood kept bubbling out of the wound, like a clear spring, and there was a slight flow sound under the dark night.
And after the words of this soldier, the soldiers who defended the city with him also came to their senses and cheered up their spirits; Even so, on top of the difference in time, they were quickly resolved by the Nine Phoenix and the Celestial Empire soldiers brought by the Nine Phoenix.
Above the city tower, the soldiers who were also squinting suddenly heard the exclamation of the city tower under the city, and they all opened their eyes to see the movement under the city tower, and through the fire of the city tower, they saw that Jiuhuang and others were dressed as soldiers of the Heavenly Empire, and their hearts suddenly sudden, and a soldier immediately ran towards the Qianmo Mansion in the city.
When Qian Mo heard the report of the soldiers and hurried over with the army in Paz City, what she saw was that Jiuhuang led the soldiers of the Celestial Empire to annihilate all the Batu soldiers at the gate of Pas City, and Jiuhuang was waiting outside Paz City with the soldiers of the Thousand Heavenly Dynasty brought by her.
