Chapter 951: Sound East Strikes West

Although he seemed to be in control in front of the surprise attack of the Wei soldiers, as if victory was within reach, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun actually had no bottom in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

But he had to show that he was winning, after all, in the past two days, due to the failure of the surprise attack on the high wolf, the morale of the nearly 20,000 surprise attack Wei soldiers under his command has always been in a low state, if the morale of these soldiers cannot be stimulated, then this battle will not have to be fought anymore, and it will definitely be defeated.

Therefore, he deceived his generals and attributed the "failure of the sneak attack on the high wolf" to tactical considerations, and it was "a flaw that must be exposed to the South Korean army in order to win".

In this regard, I have to say that Zhao Hongrun is under great pressure, after all, in fact, he has not come up with any good ways yet.

But even so, Zhao Hongrun still did not give up, firstly, he shouldered the expectations of nearly 20,000 soldiers under his command, and secondly, he did not want to spend the rest of his life in South Korea. "PS King Su: What the hell does the book review say about the author's new book "The Korean Court"??"

Therefore, in the past two days, Zhao Hongrun has climbed to the highest point of Weiqiu every day and looked in all directions, not only to peek at the defense facilities of the Korean army at the foot of the mountain, but also to find a breakthrough from the current predicament.

According to Zhao Hongrun's estimates, the distance from east to west is about eight miles, the distance between north and south is about seven miles, and the highest mountain is about 200 zhang.

In the hills, Weiqiu is a relatively large existence, but it is still not enough to garrison nearly 20,000 surprise attack Wei troops, so the deputy battalion of the third battalion of the Yanling Army stationed Gan Ben on the east bank of the unknown river southwest of Weiqiu, not only to ensure the Wei army's access to water, but also because this Weiqiu is not enough to station nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that since the Wei soldiers settled in Weiqiu, the beasts living in this hill can be said to have been subjected to seedlings, whether they are fierce or non-threatening mountain beasts, they have become things used by Wei soldiers to satisfy their hunger.

It is said that the Wei soldiers also killed three litters of tigers in this hill, and among the rest of the wild beasts hunted and captured, there were also many mountain beasts that Zhao Hongrun could name or could not name, such as a leopard with a pattern on its back such as a copper coin, a pheasant with brown fur and a tail like a horse's tail (Brown Horse Pheasant), a pheasant with white feathers and horns on its ears, and various wild boars, monkeys, musk deer, foxes, green sheep, rabbits, and so on.

Zhao Hongrun, who was fortunate enough to taste this kind of mountain treasure, couldn't help but sigh, this time their Wei army was really guilty of the local beasts, especially for the three litters of tigers, after all, every year in winter, it is the period when tigers are in estrus and breeding, if it is not for the Wei army to come here, maybe in the spring next year, the three litters of tigers will give birth to a few litters of tigers.

This emotion only turned around in Zhao Hongrun's mind a few times, and he immediately left it behind, after all, his top priority was how to find a way to defeat the Korean army under the mountain. Even if it is a step back, at least it is necessary to ensure that the nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers under his command avoid the annihilation of the entire army.

"The strength of the South Korean army seems to be more than in the previous two days...... Is it the reinforcements of the High Wolves? ”

On this day, Zhao Hongrun stood on the top of Weiqiu Mountain, looking at the Han army camp at the foot of Weiqiu Mountain.

I don't know if it was to prevent the Wei army from sneaking up on Gao Wolf, the Han army deployed the main force on the west and southwest of Weiqiu. From the flags fluttering over the Korean military camps, it is not difficult for Zhao Hongrun to deduce the composition of these Korean troops—that is, the Jin Huang Army, the Feng Ying Army, the Storm Kite Army, and, another relatively unfamiliar force, which seems to be a South Korean reinforcement from Gao Wolf.

In all fairness, for the current situation of the Wei army, if the Korean army at the foot of the mountain is pure cavalry, Zhao Hongrun is not afraid, because the cavalry is not conducive to fighting in the mountains and forests, even if there are more cavalry, it will not be able to threaten the Wei army that occupies this Wei hill; On the contrary, if the Korean army at the foot of the mountain is all infantry, Zhao Hongrun is not worried, after all, although the Korean infantry is not weak, it will not be the opponent of the Wei heavy infantry in large-scale corps battles.

But the bad thing is that at this moment, the Korean army under Weiqiu Mountain not only has infantry but also cavalry, which basically blocks Zhao Hongrun's idea of attacking.

After all, in the absence of heavy cavalry on the horses, it was almost impossible for the Wei army to defeat the powerful Korean cavalry in the wilderness.

"We must find a way to separate the infantry and cavalry of the Korean army......

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at the south of Weiqiu.

In the south of Weiqiu, there is a mountain range about ten miles away, which is more than the land of Weiqiu, according to the mark on the map, it is "Calf Mountain", a mountain range shaped like a lying cow.

As for why it is not called Funiu Mountain, it is because this mountain range is very close to the southern part of the Taihang Mountain system, if you climb high and look at it, "Calf Mountain" seems to be a protected calf in the south side of the Taihang Mountain, hence the name.

As for why Zhao Hongrun cares more about the 'Calf Mountain', it is because on the south side of the Calf Mountain, there is the granary of Tianmen Pass-Gaodu.

In fact, in the area of Qianniu Mountain, there are two high capitals, the old city is located on the east side of the Qianniu Mountain, that is, on a mountain called "Lingxi" about 30 or so away on the east side of the entire Qianniu Mountain. "Note: The entire Taihang Mountain is like a "3", and the Hyun Clan, Gao Du, and Gao Wolf are all within the bend below."

Therefore, as the name suggests, Lingxi is the narrow and long subsidiary mountain system on the west side of Taihang Mountain, and it is also the western periphery of the entire Taihang Mountain.

Once upon a time, the Wei people built a city on the Lingxi Ridge to the east of the Calf Mountain, guarding the "Calf-Gaodu Basin". However, after the Korean army occupied Tianmen Pass, the old city of Gaodu was almost abandoned, and the Koreans moved the new city to the south of Calf Mountain, where grain and grass were piled up for the war of soldiers out of Tianmen Pass.

By the way, Zhao Hongjiang, the fourth prince of Wei, ventured across the Taihang Mountain trail and spied into the basin behind Tianmen Pass, where a continuous camp of 100,000 cavalry was built, and these camps were stationed in the Gaodu Basin.

If there is a chance, Zhao Hongrun does not mind sneaking up on the new Gaodu, after all, for the entire strategy, the strategic significance of Gaodu is far greater than that of Gaowolf, Gaodu is related to the defense of the entire Tianmen Pass, if this defensive granary city is attacked, Tianmen Pass is bound to be in danger.

However, if you think about it, it is not realistic for the Wei army to sneak attack Gaodu, because Wei Qiu is about ten miles away from the calf mountain, which is a flat wilderness, if the Wei army rashly sends troops to the calf mountain, then when the Korean cavalry comes to pursue, the Wei army will have no danger to defend and will be defeated on this flat terrain.

Therefore, the only way is to bypass from the "Lingxi" in the east, but this road needs to pass through the outer mountains of the Taihang Mountain, so the speed of the march can be imagined, and it may take ten and a half days and a half to attack the Gaodu by the Wei army.

Of course, the Wei army can also choose to take the flat road of the Gaodu Basin, in this case, it may only take two or three days, but this road is far less concealed than the previous one, and it is easy to be detected in advance by the defenders of Gaodu.

However, this road is more selective, because the scope of Taihang Mountain is too wide, if Zhao Hongrun's nearly 20,000 Wei troops have a way to escape into Taihang Mountain, not to mention Jin Huang, Storm Kite, and Feng Ting's nearly 50,000 or 60,000 troops at the moment, even if it is 500,000 or 5 million, it is unlikely that Zhao Hongrun's army will be found in the entire Taihang Mountain system.

Although there are many fierce beasts in Taihang Mountain, it is believed that in front of nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers, those fierce beasts are only food at best.

"I hope that Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying think the same way......

Squinting his eyes, Zhao Hongrun secretly made up his mind.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Wei army stationed at the foot of the southwest mountain of Weiqiu had an abnormal movement, and two Wei generals, Gan Ben and She Li, led thousands of Wei soldiers to set up defenses along the long east bank of the unknown river, burying the antlers of the deer in the mud one by one, and building a defensive line along the line.

Even, every thirty zhang, the Wei army built a post that could accommodate about ten soldiers.

"What is Wei Jun trying to do?"

After learning about this, Storm Kite looked puzzled and couldn't figure out the purpose of Wei Jun.

At this time, Feng Ying reminded on the side: "Could it be that Wei Gongzirun, trying to build a defense between Weiqiu and Liniu Mountain step by step, cut off our army, and facilitate him to take the high capital?" ”

The storm kite frowned, immediately took the map of the army, and frowned at the unknown river on the map that bypassed Weiqiu and Calf Mountain in an "S" shape.

Not to mention, if the Wei army took advantage of this river and used the method of step-by-step to build a whole defense line between Weiqiu and Liniu Mountain, there would really be no good way for the Han army to do so.

After all, no matter how strong the Korean cavalry was, it was impossible to fly over the river that was seven or eight feet long to attack the Wei army on the other side of the river, not to mention that the other party was also preparing to build defenses such as repelling antlers on the riverbank.

And if you rely on infantry alone, the Korean infantry is no match for the infantry of the Wei State.

But the problem is that Gaodu is not something that Wei Gongzirun can capture if he wants to, you must know that the army under the command of Wei Gongzirun is all infantry, and there are no war weapons such as catapults in the army, and the infantry alone wants to take Gaodu, is this underestimating the garrison of Gaodu?

You must know that the garrison of Gaodu is actually one with the defenders of Tianmen Pass, and it is almost impossible for it to be captured by the 20,000 infantry of Wei Gongzirun.

"Since that Wei Gongzi is seeking his own death, let him go."

After pondering for a long time but unable to think of a clue, Storm Kite chose not to move, after all, he firmly believed that it was impossible for this Wei army to capture Gaodu.

After two or three days, the Wei army was still building defensive facilities along the river between Weiqiu and Liniu Mountain, and the storm kite never understood the real purpose of the Wei army.

It wasn't until the sixth day of the first month of November that a cavalry scout deployed on the east side of Weiqiu suddenly came to report that the Wei army had secretly descended from the east side of Weiqiu and quietly moved to the Taihang Mountain in the east.

"Damn it! Then Wei Gongzirun wants to escape! ”
