Chapter 128: Simplifying

"Haha, don't worry, marshal, there is a way." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Is there any way you can say it quickly, don't sell it. It's not a matter for the army to block here, hurry up and fight the party, and take the state so that the lord can give good news!" Guan Yu said urgently.

"Actually, I'm also stupid, if it weren't for the marshal's reminder, I really couldn't think of it, if I let the lord come, I'm afraid I would really be scolded, this method is too simple." Guo Jia's whole person seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Guo Junshi, don't sell it, okay?" Guan Yu was reluctant, he had already been whetted by Guo Jia.

"Well, let me tell you, as soon as you hear it, you know it's very simple." Guo Jia said: "Think about it, when will it be the turn of our Heavenly Wolf Army for others to attack?" When did we attack others, and since we followed the lord, which time did we not take advantage of others? Now, if Zhang Yang wants to take advantage of our New Han Army, isn't he killing himself? ”

Guo Jia said, took the map and said, "Look, we are now in the area of Yicheng County, and the passage we are going to take is Yishuidao. Now, they've built a barrier at the mountain pass into the mountain to block the way of our army, right? ”

"That's right." Guan Yu said.

"They also built checkpoints at the bottom of the mountain or on some dangerous terrain between the two mountains, and in addition to this, they also set up an ambush on the mountain, and when we entered the mountain road, they pushed down the rolling stones and logs from above to kill and wound our soldiers." Guo Jia pointed to the place of the fortress on the map and said: "On the surface, they are blocking our army on the mountain road at the bottom of the mountain, and there are ambushes on the mountain, they think that in this way they can stop the attack of our Heavenly Wolf Army?" Hah..."

Guo Jia didn't wait for Guan Yu to urge, and directly burst into a foul mouth: "Damn, even I almost forgot, in fact, no matter how steep the mountain is, it can't stop our Heavenly Wolf Army, at least, it shouldn't be able to stop our army's underworld, right?" ”

"This is natural, Guo Junshi, you want to ......" Guan Yu seemed to understand Guo Jia's thoughts a little.

"Yes, they can go up the mountain, why can't we? Anyway, we are not in a hurry, so we will slowly consume it with them. Guo Jia said: "Pick out the good skills in the underworld in Taiyuan, they are all locals, there should be many people who are familiar with the party, let them go up the mountain, and kill the thieves on the mountain first." Even if you can't kill them, you can get rid of them. In this way, we occupy the commanding heights of the mountain, and so. We don't have to worry about the threat on our heads. Before pressing the army to the checkpoints, they have thousands of people at each level, and perhaps, if they see the wrong opportunity, they will retreat to the second line of defense. But in this way, won't we be able to safely seize a line of defense? ”

"Ha, yes, yes, it's such a simple way, we couldn't have imagined that we would have to have a headache for so many days about this matter." Guan Yu was also happy after hearing this, and at the same time said with some annoyance: "That's it." We can push forward one line at a time, and it won't be useful for them to have as many defenses as they have, and I really forgot that we can also climb up the mountain and attack their people on the mountain and their checkpoints at the foot of the mountain. ”

This man, sometimes. There are some very simple ways, often just don't think about it and don't pay attention to it.

"Nope. We don't have to go level by level. Don't forget, Zhang Yang scattered his army in various mountain passes to build checkpoints, trying to resist our attack in this way. They didn't have many horses on each of the routes. At most, it is only four or five thousand men and horses, in fact, we can concentrate all the gunpowder, open a passage, and completely annihilate the thousands of soldiers in each of Zhang Yang's checkpoints from the rear with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun in a roundabout way, so that we can destroy his three men and horses all the way, and there will be no more flamboyant people to set up obstacles for us to march. After that, you can directly besiege the party, and there will be no pressure. ”

"Yes, yes, we can besiege them before they have time to retreat."

"I see. This approach should work, and without further ado, we will act on it immediately. ”

Guan Yu said: "I will send a fast horse to inform Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and ask him to fight according to this method, and strive to eliminate Zhang Yang's army who is trying to block the advance of our Heavenly Wolf Army."

"I'm going to attack tomorrow, anyway, our various armies and horses are too far apart, it doesn't matter who attacks first and then attacks, Zhang Yang's people, they can't send the information so quickly." Guan Yu said.

"I think so." After a few stands, he thought about it and asked, "Then we don't care who is fast or slow, we will go directly to the hinterland of the party." ”

"Yes, every military horse, when they enter the Shangdang area, they will directly wave the army to Huguan, Zhang Yang should be in Huguan, other towns, we don't have to worry about them first. By the way, Yide, remember to have enough food and grass. Guan Yu explained.

"Understood, marshal, rest assured, when you enter the Shangdang area, I will order the logistics team that transports grain to march with you, and with Lao Zhang's logistics troops to follow, you don't have to worry about fighting in Shangdang for a month." Zhang Fei said.

"Okay, then you can arrange it first."

Zhang Fei uncovered the account and left.

Guan Yu immediately summoned his own soldiers, handed him the written secret letter, and asked him to send it to Lu Bu Zhao Yun in Shangdang as soon as possible, telling him the plan for the attack. Then, he gave another order, ordering the sergeant to prepare for the battle. Early tomorrow morning, 10,000 underworld gangsters will be selected and let them climb the mountains on both sides to solve the ambush of Zhang Yangjun's troops on the mountain.

Anyway, Guan Yu doesn't need to be in a hurry, he can attack slowly, and on the mountains on both sides, so many people have been sent to search and attack, even if he wants to catch a fly, he can catch it.

At dawn the next day, the whole army got up, and it didn't take long to see the 10,000 underworld that had been selected and sent.

After letting them eat and drink to their heart's content, Guan Yu gave an order, and they began to set off.

Guan Yu's military horses are mixed army, that is to say, an army of 50,000 horses, including 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and there are also spearmen, sword and shield hands, and archers.

The cavalry is useless, and after entering the mountain, the cavalry is difficult to walk, and it is not as convenient as the two legs of a man. In addition, due to the steep mountain terrain and the mountain road is not wide enough, the archers are not suitable to deploy, and the power of their concentrated attacks is also greatly reduced, so 15,000 spears, swords and shields are the main vanguard, and explosives are the main force.

Most of the 10,000 people from the underworld who searched the mountains were locals. Of course, for the convenience of climbing, they don't need to carry more things and carry a knife behind their backs. Most of these underworld members are rangers, and the people in Bingzhou are more fierce than Youzhou, and the basic men are all practicing martial arts, and their personal skills are very good. Their combat ability in the mountains and forests is also much stronger than that of the regular army of the Heavenly Wolf.

The 50,000 horses who did not climb the mountain to search, the infantry slowly began to enter the mountain in front, and due to the mountain situation, it was unlikely that the large army would pour into the mountain at once, so it was also necessary to put pressure on the defenders of the enemy checkpoint in the advanced part.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the men of the underworld were divided into two parts, 5,000 people each, and began to climb up the mountains on either side.

In the Taihang Mountains, the mountains in most places are dense forests, and only a few of the mountains will have no vegetation for some unknown reasons.

The mountains in front of you are all mountains with dense forests. Five thousand men on each side did not need to be many to disappear in the mountains and forests.

"Uh......" Wu Jiang, the hall master of the society here, climbed to the top of the mountain and looked left and right, then stood up and looked down the mountain, but did not speak.

"Hehe, do you see the problem?" Another hall master, Luo Haidao, said: "Such a dense forest. Not to mention the sandalwood, even if I push the rolling stones down from the top of the mountain, I dare not say that I can't go down the mountain path below. The stone is hard, but brittle, rolling down the mountain. Crash into the trees, such a dense forest. Within a few strokes, the stones will turn into a pile of rubble. There was no threat to the sergeants marching down the mountain trail below. ”

"You can always hide people, right?" Wu Jiang analyzed.

"Tibetans? Well, that's fine, but, if you think about it, what if the thieves hide here? How many centaurs do they have? In this wood, no one can attack us with rolling stones and trees. What can they do? Rush down to attack our home army? That's looking for death! Luo Hai said: "So, we don't have to worry about this place at all, what we have to do now is not to go all over the mountains to find those hundreds of thieves." It's about finding their ambush spots. Not every part of these mountains is suitable for them to attack, we just need to find out the places on the mountain that can be attacked with rolling stones and wood, so that we can search around that place and find the thieves hiding near the ambush point. ”

"Medium! I think we can, in this case, we will have a purposeful and quick search, where to attack the mountain road below, this is clear at a glance, we can walk from the top of the mountain, and we can roughly find the ambush point of the thieves. Wu Jiang's eyes lit up, and he grinned.

"Actually, it's not just that, think about it, if the thieves want to attack the team marching below us, they must be prepared in advance, right? For example, they had to collect the boulders and prepare the alders. Although there are big trees everywhere on the mountain, if you cut down the trees and cut off the branches, they will become sassers, but it is impossible for our soldiers to pass below before they go to collect stones and cut down trees, right? Luo Haidao: "So, let's find an ambush point that can attack the mountain road down the mountain, and find an ambush point with big stones and sassalo trees stacked together, then we can take that ambush point as the center, search around, find out the hidden thieves, and eliminate them!" ”

"Yes, Zhang Yang's thieves, there are definitely not many thieves on the mountain, as long as we eliminate their thieves on the mountain, our search mission will be roughly completed." Wu Jiang was excited, if they could eliminate the thieves attacking the Heavenly Wolf Army on the mountain, it would also be a credit.

"Okay, I've told you all about my ideas, do you want to do it together? If you don't want to, you still search step by step, I won't drag you down, and I and my ten brothers can also complete this task. Luo Hai blew a whistle and called the ten soldiers back to prepare to leave.

"Hey, don't, Hall Master Luo, let's estimate that there are hundreds or hundreds of thieves, right? Eleven of you, how many can you deal with? Wu Jiang pulled Luo Hai and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do it with you, but this credit has to be counted as our share, how about it?" ”

"Haha, enlightened? The credit is naturally everyone's, go. Luo Hai patted Wu Jiangdao.
