Tiger Roaring Ridge!

In the mountains, in the swamp, the official road is thirty zhang wide, extending into the depths of the Tiger Roaring Ridge.

When Hou Zhen led his troops from the imperial city, he seized the opportunity as soon as possible and took the lead in deploying defenses in the Huxiaoling area on the east side of the official road.

The camp was built on the mountain, and the Vietnamese army hid in the dense forest, forming a posture of attacking and retreating in the official road of the mountain range.

Although Hou Zhen only had 30,000 Vietnamese troops under his account, Hou Zhen was still full of confidence that the Yan army would not come from the south, no matter how many troops he led, he would not want to pass through the Tiger Roaring Ridge.

If you force your way into the Tiger Roaring Ridge and prevent the Yan army from being wiped out, you will also kill more than half of the Yan army.

In addition, Hou Zhen ordered his soldiers to spread turf where they could, especially on the edge of the swamp, to create signs of a wide and smooth road.

After using the surrounding environment to form a bunker, Hou Zhen secretly ordered the spies to go to the south of the Tiger Roaring Mountains to reconnoiter the traces of the Yan army.

Hou Zhen was convinced that if Han Yanxi, Guo Xiaoyan and others could not induce Emperor Yan to make a plan, Emperor Yan would lead the Yan army from the south to the north, and Huxiao Ridge would become a place where the Yan army must pass.

At that time, he must have faced a huge front, so as the general of the Tiger Roaring Ridge, Hou Zhen was extremely cautious, for fear that he would take a wrong step and lead the Vietnamese army under his command into the bottomless abyss.

He led the troops to be stationed in the Tiger Roaring Ridge on the fifth day, and the spies sent back the news from the south, and Emperor Yan led the Yan army to hurriedly approach the direction of the Tiger Roaring Ridge.

Upon learning of the Yan army's movements, Hou Zhen quickly ordered the army to prepare for war, and sent a herald to Huangyu Mountain to convey the news to Han Yanxi, hoping that Han Yanxi would send reinforcements to come.

He firmly believed that the defense in the Tiger Roaring Ridge would definitely hit the Yan army hard with the help of the terrain, and if the two armies of Yan and Yue fought desperately, the Vietnamese army under his command might not be able to stop the 300,000 Yan army.

In order to keep the imperial city safe, it is necessary to block the Yan army in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, and not let the Yan army cross the Tiger Roaring Ridge without a single soldier, otherwise, the imperial city is easy to cause the Yan army to threaten.

Not long after the herald departed, before he returned from Topaz Mountain, a herald came from the direction of Topaz Mountain.

The emperor sent a herald to come, which exceeded Hou Zhen's expectations and made Hou Zhen overjoyed.

Inviting the herald into the marshal's tent and sending someone to prepare tea, Hou Zhen sat on the main seat of the marshal tent, stared at the herald and asked: "The Yan army pounced from the southern tiger to the tiger roaring ridge, has the emperor been informed of the Yan army's movements and made slight adjustments in strategy?"

He hoped that Han Yanxi would adapt to the situation and change the strategy set in the court according to the movements of the Yan army.

"General Hou rest assured, the emperor has learned that Emperor Yan led the troops to come to Huxiaoling, in order to avoid General Hou being difficult to support alone, he has ordered General Yan, who is stationed at Jinshakou, to lead the army to quickly rush to the aid of the general, at present, the general only needs to wait a little, and General Yan will definitely come before nightfall." The herald did not hesitate to raise the order to Emperor Hou Zhen Daoming.

Hearing this, Hou Zhen's hanging heart relaxed slightly, sighed long, and thanked Dai De: "The emperor is wise, understand the hard work of the general, no matter what, I want to know, how many troops did General Yan lead when he came from Jinshakou?"

General Hou, Emperor Yan and his subordinate Yan generals are good at making strange moves, the emperor is afraid that Emperor Yan will attack the west, therefore, the main force of the Yue army is still stationed in Huangshakou, General Yan came, led 30,000 elites, if with the help of the terrain of Tiger Roaring Ridge, blocking the pace of the Yan army is all right. If you can't stop the pace of the Yan army and transfer troops to Huxiao Mountain, it will only take one day, so the general doesn't have to worry about the edge of the Yan army, and the entire Yue country is standing behind the general." The herald is clever and colorful, word by word, hoping to resolve Hou Zhen's inner speculation.

"Okay, good, 30,000 troops are enough, if all the troops under a certain account are hidden in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, 60,000 Vietnamese troops are enough to contain the edge of the Yan army!" Hou Zhen got up and praised again and again, as if he was in a state of victory.

Pondering slightly, Hou Zhen confidently said to the herald: "Go back and report to the emperor, don't worry, it will make it difficult for the Yan army to move an inch in front of the Tiger Roaring Ridge!"

"Yes!"

The herald got up, bowed his hand slightly, did not linger long, and turned to leave.

The crisis is approaching quickly, Hou Zhen is unprecedentedly vigilant, and the Yan army directly takes the imperial city. The life and death of the Yue country is currently closely related to him!

A hundred miles away from the Tiger Roar Pass, Lin Feng led the Yan army to gallop quickly, and he could clearly see the mountains in the distance during the march.

Even if there were towering clouds and mountains in front of him, Lin Feng still didn't stop, at least, he firmly believed that within fifty miles of the Tiger Roaring Ridge, the Yan army was always in a safe state.

At present, all you need to do is send spies to quickly scout Tiger Roaring Ridge. Osprey Crossing, Jinshakou, and Huangyu Mountain movements, after all, they led the troops to the Imperial City of the Yue Kingdom, and their purpose was to understand the movements of the Vietnamese army, so as to make a good choice.

From early morning to dusk, Lin Feng led the army slowly and quickly, and at dusk, it was only thirty miles away from Tiger Roaring Ridge.

At this time, Lin Feng did not continue to order the army to move forward, but chose a relatively flat area to set up camp and wait for the news from the spies from all over the place.

At the same time, there were already members of the Dark Arrow who took a hot air balloon and quietly touched in the direction of Huangyu Mountain, in a vain attempt to assassinate Han Yanxi unknowingly, although Lin Feng did not have much hope for assassinating Han Yanxi, but he was always paying attention.

At night, the spies from all walks of life gradually returned, and through the spies' reports, Lin Feng probably knew the number and movements of the Vietnamese troops in Huxiaoling, Osprey Crossing, Jinshakou, and Huangyu Mountain.

Feng Shihu, Ju Wentai, Feng Yi, and Meng Kuo, the four main generals of the Yan army, gradually became clear about the movements of the Vietnamese army.

Hou Zhen set up camp in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, waiting for the Yan army to enter the tiger's mouth, facing the terrain near the Tiger Roaring Ridge and the invasion of the Vietnamese army near Jinshakou, so that Feng Shihu's four generals clearly understood the hardships faced by the Yan army when they went to the imperial capital of the Yue Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the terrain of Tiger Roaring Ridge is strange, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the last general proposes to follow the example of the battle of Centipede Ridge when he was cutting down Shu, and use the flying army to adopt a fire attack strategy to quickly eliminate the Vietnamese army in Tiger Roaring Ridge, since the other side has increased troops in the direction of Tiger Roaring Ridge, it proves that Han Yanxi cares very much about the safety of the imperial city." Feng Yi reminded Lin Feng that he wanted to make a quick decision.

In the air in front of Lin Feng, instead of hesitating and melancholy, he gave birth to a faint smile, Hou Zhen set up the camp on the top of Tiger Roaring Mountain, which reminded him of the allusion of Zhuge slashing horses with tears.

Although the west of Tiger Roaring Ridge is swampy, and the lakes and rivers are farther away, which proves that this place is rich in water sources, the abundance of water in the plains does not mean that the water sources on the top of Tiger Roaring Ridge are abundant.

As far as he knows, the top of Tiger Roaring Mountain is mostly dense forests, and the terrain is very complex, and it is impossible to form a water source at all.

According to the report of the spies, since Hou Zhen led the army to station at the top of Huxiaoling Mountain, he arranged for soldiers to fetch water in the southwest area of Huxiaoling every day, and spent manpower and material resources to transport it up the mountain.

One point alone proves that Hou Zhen is similar to Ma Yan, and they are both generals who cannot be alone.

It is easy for the Yan army to capture the Tiger Roaring Ridge, especially in the hot summer, once the water source is lost, the Vietnamese army in the Tiger Roaring Ridge will have no way to retreat.

"General Feng, things are not as difficult as they seem on the surface, don't you notice, is Hou Zhen a straw bag?"

Straw bag?

Hearing this, Feng Yi was stunned, and looked at Lin Feng with a somewhat puzzled expression, in his opinion, Hou Zhen's arrangement of troops was not wrong, at least for now, it did block the pace of the Yan army.

Feng Shihu, Ju Wentai, and Meng Kuo were also surprised, and looked at Lin Feng with doubts.

When he was young, Lin Feng glanced at the four generals in front of him, and said with a smile: "General Feng, Hou Zhen lives the military camp on the top of the mountain, which seems to be unattainable and difficult to overcome, and it is like a wedge in front of the Yan army, but don't forget that in the spies report, Hou Zhen sent soldiers to fetch water in the southwest river and transport it up the mountain. What does this mean, don't you generals understand?"

"This.... Your Majesty, is Hou Zhen cocooning himself?"

Feng Shihu first guessed what Lin Feng wanted to remind the four of them in his words, and asked incredibly.

Hou Zhen has 30,000 Vietnamese troops under his tent, the number is not much, but with the terrain, it can indeed block the edge of the Yan army, but Hou Zhen built the camp on the top of the mountain, if there is not enough drinking water support, in the hot summer, it is easy to have problems.

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Hou Zhen is cocooning himself, what do we have to do, I can only say that Han Yanxi doesn't know anyone, but before I think about whether Yan Hu leads the reinforcements to come, we will occupy the water source near the Tiger Roaring Ridge, or after Yan Hu leads the army to come, we will join Hou Zhen and seize the water source?"

"Your Majesty, when you are constantly suffering from the chaos, the last general suggests that you must occupy the water source near the Tiger Roaring Ridge before Yan Hu arrives, which will force Hou Zhen to lead the army to leave the Tiger Roaring Ridge and turn around and set up camp near the Imperial City of Yue.

Perhaps, in the transfer of the other party, we will have a good opportunity!" Feng Shihu proposed that the sooner the water source was occupied, the sooner the Yue army under Hou Zhen's tent would suffer, and the sooner the Yan army would open up the passage to the imperial city of Yue. Strive to let Han Yanxi lead the army back to help and participate in the defense of the imperial city.

However, Ju Wentai immediately retorted: "General Feng, I think that after Yan Hu led the troops to arrive, it would be easier to annihilate the Vietnamese army by choosing to occupy the water source. Don't forget, the spies reported that there were a lot of reinforcements under Yan Hu's account, and he felt that if Yan Hu led the troops to arrive and noticed Hou Zhen's stupid move, he would definitely take the lead in proposing to Hou Zhen to transfer the military camp, and we would take advantage of the other party's unstable foothold to strike at 60,000 Vietnamese troops.

If Yanhu is like Hou Zhen without foresight, and the 60,000 Vietnamese troops are concentrated in Huxiao Mountain, we will cut off its water supply, which will make the 60,000 Vietnamese troops fall into a state of isolation and helplessness.

Annihilating 60,000 Vietnamese troops in one fell swoop, once and for all, they will be directly killed in the imperial city of Yue."

At this time, Meng Kuo stood up and said: "General Feng, General Ju, you may forget one thing, Yan Hu came from Jinshakou, and he must have known that the Yan army arrived near the Tiger Roaring Ridge, and he also learned that Hou Zhen had stationed the camp in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, what if he led the troops to come in a hurry and took the lead in leading the troops to occupy the water source near the Tiger Roaring Ridge, so a certain support General Feng's suggestion is to strike first and control the water source."

"That's right, we must take the lead in controlling the water source, this is undoubtedly to control the lives of the 30,000 Vietnamese troops under Hou Zhen's account, however, a certain proposal, do not directly control the water source, but choose to leave an ambush near the water source, if Yan Hu leads the troops to come and directly seize the water source, we happen to ambush. Annihilated the 30,000 Vietnamese troops under Yan Hu's tent, without Yan Hu's help, Hou Zhen and the Yue army would be a dead fish.

If Yanhu directly joins Hou Zhen, he can directly annihilate 60,000 Vietnamese troops according to the recommended proposal, and on the whole, this can achieve the goal of completely annihilating 60,000 Vietnamese troops." Feng Yi synthesized Feng Shihu, Ju Wentai, and Meng Kuo to express his thoughts.

For a while, all the generals in the tent focused their eyes on Lin Feng, waiting for Lin Feng to make a choice.

"You must control the water source, Feng Yi's strategy is not wrong, take the lead in annihilating Hou Zhen and Yan Hu, you can adopt Feng Yi's strategy, ambush, cut off its water source, kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, Yanhu led the troops to be stationed at Jinshakou, which is very close to Huxiaoling, so if Yanhu leads the troops to come, we must fight quickly.

However, the Tiger Roaring Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the water source of the Tiger Roaring Ridge is cut off, it will take time to force the Vietnamese army to submit, so there must be an army to closely monitor the Vietnamese army coming to the Jinshakou barracks. Lin Feng commanded loudly, and from his expression, he could already see that the victory was in hand.

"The emperor can rest assured, after Yanhu comes from Jinshakou, the remaining Vietnamese troops do not want to set foot on the land near Huxiaoling." Meng Kuo bowed his head and said very confidently.

For a while, the tent was extremely quiet, Lin Feng was silent for a moment, and ordered: "General Ju, ambush Yanhu near the water source, and control the matter of the water source, you are fully responsible, and you can lead 50,000 elite soldiers."

"Your Majesty, you need to be cautious and careful about the ambush, the number of 50,000 soldiers is very large, and the general only needs to lead 20,000 iron cavalry!" Ju Wentai did not directly agree, and said his own proposal.

"Okay, you personally lead 20,000 blade warriors, cooperate with Lin Shi, remember, be careful of the swamps near the water source, these places are like devils devouring people's lives, falling into them, and will not let anyone go." Lin Feng agreed with Ju Wentai's proposal, and by the way, reminded the other party to be cautious in detecting the swamp near the water source.

Moreover, Lin Feng knew that not only the southern region had a lot of swamps near Huxiao Mountain, but also a large number of swamps in the entire lake area, which was difficult to prevent.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, there will be a way to restrain him!" Ju Wentai bowed slightly.

"Feng Yi, you personally lead the iron cavalry to closely monitor the Vietnamese troops stationed in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, after the other party loses the water source, it is best to persuade the other party to surrender, you can't lobby the other party, it will take three or five days, the Tiger Roaring Ridge will definitely be self-defeating, you are fully responsible for this matter!" Lin Feng commanded.

On the surface, Feng Yi's task is extremely simple, but in fact it is very difficult to execute, after all, the Yan army is not familiar with the terrain near Huxiao Ridge for the time being, and needs to determine the specific location of the Vietnamese army under Hou Zhen's tent through several skirmishes, and by the way, find out the Vietnamese army's fortifications on the top of Huxiao Mountain.

However, the terrain of Huxiao Ridge is complex, and it is easy to be attacked by the other side in the early stage of cutting off the water source of the Vietnamese army, so it must be the veteran Feng Yi in charge.

"The emperor can rest assured, the last general will guarantee that three days after General Ju cuts off the water source of the Vietnamese army, the passage from Huxiao Ridge to the imperial capital of the Yue Kingdom will be opened!" Feng Yi bowed his head and was very confident." General Feng, I hope you will be victorious and successful!" Lin Feng patted Feng Yi on the shoulder and comforted.

Immediately, he turned to stare at Feng Shihu and ordered: "Feng Shihu, when we led the troops to come, there were Wu troops following along the way, these people are sneaky, they must not be well-intentioned, General Feng, you lead the troops to deploy in the south, be careful that the Wu-Yue coalition army is colluding in the south and suddenly attack the Yan army camp!"

"Yes!"
