Chapter 343: Defeat is like a mountain
After an overnight military meeting, the dust settled on the discussion of the surprise attack plan.
Leader of the Surprise Raiders: Gan Hui.
Sergeant: 3,000 elite sergeants.
Strategic goal: cut off the connection between the third and fourth passes, and break through the two levels in one fell swoop.
Battle plan: Because the second and third passes of Xianxia Pass are at the peak of the mountain range, from the third pass to the fourth pass, it is the mountain road down the mountain range, which is easy to attack and easy to defend. After the mountaineering surprise attack, he directly attacked Zheng Jun, who was defenseless at the third pass, and won the third pass in one fell swoop. Then 1,000 men were left to guard the Sanguan Gate to resist the Zheng army reinforcements from the 4th Pass, and the remaining 2,000 people broke through from behind the 2nd Pass and completely annihilated the Zheng army guarding the 2nd Pass.
The specific embodiment plan: one is that the She people who are good at crossing the mountains and mountains, the Fang people use bamboo and giant trees to build a simple passage at the bottom of the stream to open the way, and when they climb over the mountains, they are also crossed by the She people and the Fang people first, and the fixed nylon rope is dropped, and the surprise attack team then crosses the ridge.
Second, in order to cover the surprise attack of the surprise attack team, it was not discovered by the Zheng army's sentry. After the surprise attack team began to break through, Fang Yuan's side sent sergeants to storm the second pass gate from the front, and shouted through loudspeakers, which not only boosted morale, but also covered up the sound of the surprise attack team crossing the bottom of the stream.
The only objection was Najib, the commander of the She people and the Fang people, who broke through a pass, and the mountain special battalion was all involved in the auxiliary work of opening mountains and building bridges, and did not participate in the real battlefield rush, and did not even cut the head of a Zheng soldier.
When they participated in the battle against the Zheng army this time, they came to cut off people's heads for good fields, and they didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, where did the heads come from?
Najib strongly demanded that the second and third passes be attacked, and the mountain special battalion would be the vanguard and carry out the assault.
Fang Yuan's kind words appeased Najib, since Najib's mountain special battalion wants to be a pioneer, then let him go! The task of feint to respond to Gan Hui's surprise attack was directly handed over to the mountain special battalion.
Najib happily accepted the order and went to greet the She people and fangs in the mountain camp to prepare for battle.
Within two days, preparations for the raid were well underway.
The She people and the Fang people led by Najib used the bamboo and big trees in the mountains as the raw materials for paving and construction, and threw them directly into the deep stream after cutting them down. Then send people down to the deep stream, use rattan and hemp rope to tie these bamboos and tree trunks, and put them in the deep ditch and dangerous places, so as to make a simple marching path.
Gan Hui selected 3,000 elites with strong arm strength from among the 30,000-step camp sergeants, and practiced climbing up and down along the nylon rope set up in the deep stream every day to carry out adaptive exercises.
Two days later, near dusk, a hundred She people and fangren who built bridges and paved the road had laid a simple passage to the second pass, and the three thousand surprise attack of the Xuanjia army had gone down to the bottom of the stream, stretching for at least two miles.
The She people who went to explore the road reported that the sergeant Zheng Jun had closed the fence of the lower stream to get water, and the smoke of cooking rose in the Zheng Jun barracks, and he was fetching water to make food.
Half an hour later, night fell, and the surprise raiding party finally began to move, marching along the bottom of the stream.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Sergeant of the Xuanjia Army, listen up! Cutting off one head is one acre of fertile land, cutting off ten heads will have no worries about food and clothing, and cutting a hundred will bless the descendants! I want to seal my wife and cut off Zheng Junjun's head! If you want to get ahead, cut off the head of Zheng Junjun! ”
"Sergeant Zheng Jun, capture the hundreds of households in our army who came to surrender, and avoid death! Capture the surrender of thousands of households in this army, and reward 50 acres of fertile land! Arrest the deputy general who surrenders, and reward 100 acres of fertile land! cut off the head of the main general Zhou Quanbin, rewarded 500 acres of fertile land, and sealed thousands of households; Those who capture Zhou Quanbin alive will be rewarded with 1,000 acres of fertile land, and the commander of the guard will be sealed! ”
Fang Yuan's tweeter constantly preached the policy of rewards to both the enemy and us, one was to improve our side and disintegrate the morale of the enemy's army; On a quiet night, the loudspeaker could be heard for miles, directly masking any sound made by the surprise team at the bottom of the stream.
In addition to the propaganda of the loudspeakers, the first group of feints of Zheng army prisoners began to charge to the mountain road below the second pass, and began to bombard the gate with artillery; Followed by the main mountain special battalion that really attacked the closed gate.
Zheng Jun, who was closing the door, listened to the loudspeaker of the Xuanjia Army, especially the hundreds and thousands of households that bore the brunt of the battle, and the heads could be exchanged for good land.
The only one who was in danger was the main general Zhou Quanbin, who saw the Xuanjia Army coming to attack the gate, and thought that the general attack of the Xuanjia Army had begun, so he directly dispatched the Zheng army in the rear camp to support the gate, and personally commanded the artillery on the gate to start firing back.
The feint attack on the gate was in full swing, and the surprise attack team at the bottom of the stream had successfully crossed the sentry post of the Zheng army, and after two hours, arrived at the bottom of the stream under the third and fourth passes.
Ten She people climbed the mountain ridge to explore the road first, and half of the Zheng army at the third gate was stationed at the gate, and half was dispatched by Zhou Quanbin to participate in the guard at the second gate, and they were not vigilant at all about the situation in the rear.
One by one, the sergeants of the surprise raid team crossed the ridge and climbed the mountain within four hours of the predetermined raid.
Behind is the fourth pass, in front of which is the gate of the third pass, and inside the gate, hundreds of Zheng army barracks are densely built on both sides of the mountain road, as well as the open space on the ridge.
Ten Zheng Jun sergeants who were patrolling the night also discovered the anomaly on this side, but before they could escape, they were shot and killed by the She people and Fang people who were in ambush with bows and arrows.
Because the Xuanjia Army implemented a big pot rice policy, it did not take credit for the head, and Gan Hui did not go to compete with the She people and the Fang people for their heads, and even took the initiative to order the She people and the Fang people to come forward and cut off the heads of Zheng Jun.
Twelve heads, twelve acres of fertile land.
The surprise attack of the Xuanjia sergeant was led by the She people and the Fang people, and marched along the mountain road to the mountain ridge mountain, along the way, the 100 front teams of the She people and the Fang people easily shot and killed the Zheng army who patrolled the night on two roads, as well as three sentry posts along the way.
Everyone quietly came to the barracks of Sanguan, most of Zheng Jun was still asleep, and a small number of Zheng Jun had just woken up, not realizing that death had descended on their heads.
The Xuanjia army raised their sabers one after another, preparing to start a complete annihilation of the defenseless Zheng army inside the Sanguan Gate!
It was getting dark, and dawn had finally arrived.
When the first Zheng army sergeant opened the camp gate and was about to go to fetch water and make food, he was greeted by the sabre of the Xuanjia sergeant.
"Kill!"
Gan Hui gave an order, and the surprise attack team began to attack every Zheng army barracks.
The war of the three levels is not a war, but a one-sided slaughter!
The Zheng army, which was attacked by a sneak attack, had no organized resistance, and could only organize ten people in a barracks to resist sporadically.
Gan Hui divided two thousand Xuanjia troops one by one to clear out the Zheng army sergeants who were still resisting, and personally led a thousand sergeants to rush straight to the gate, as long as he could win the three passes, Zhou Quanbin, who was still stationed at the second pass, was a turtle in the urn, and there was no way out.
Where can the three hundred Zheng troops stationed at the Sanguan Gate be able to stop Gan Hui who rushed to the front like a wolf and a tiger, as well as the Xuanjia sergeants. In less than two quarters of an hour, it was completely defeated, and the defeated soldiers did not dare to flee for their lives after the third pass, but opened the gate and went straight to the second pass.
Gan Hui effortlessly took over the three gates, and at the same time, he also took over the five artillery pieces erected on the gates.
There is only less than a mile between the second pass and the third pass, and Gan Hui stands on top of the third pass, and can clearly see the three hundred military camps built by the three thousand Zheng troops within the second pass.
A small half of these barracks are within the range of the three-pass guns!
Gan Hui was so angry that he directly ordered a few captured Zheng army artillerymen to immediately fire at the Erguan Pass.
"Boom!"
When the first cannon sound sounded at the gate of the third pass, and the first buckshot fell on a military camp in the second pass, Zhou Quanbin, who still wanted to defend the second pass, knew it.
This time, the tide has turned!
Not only is the third pass gone, but there are no reinforcements, and the second pass that is surrounded by the front and rear will inevitably be lost, and then the four passes without any terrain advantage will never be able to hold.
All in all, I thought it was solid before, and it was a fairy pass that could not be opened by a husband; When formulating a strategy, Xianxia Pass, which could hold Fang Yuan for at least three to six months, was completely captured within a month!
Zhou Quanbin, who was the chief general stationed at Xianxia Pass, made a military order to Zheng Sen before the battle, but now he was almost desperate, slowly kneeling on the ground and drawing out his saber.
Losing the responsibility of the defeated army in Xianxia Pass, he can only apologize to Zheng Sen for his guilt!
