Wuguan, southeast direction, fifty miles away, there is a small county town belonging to Nanyang County, named Danshui County.

The population of this county is only a few thousand households, only more than 10,000 people, the county magistrate is a middle-aged scholar, named Cai Hong, a child of the Cai family in Jingzhou, he got up very early on this day, and he was dressed neatly, waiting at the city gate with the county government master book and long history.

"The general has worked hard all the way, I am Cai Hong, the magistrate of Danshui County!"

In the early morning in the cold wind, the snow danced, a group of soldiers and horses from Wancheng had quietly entered Danshui County, and the county magistrate Cai Hong hurriedly stepped forward.

"County Magistrate Cai, you are ready for the military camp to settle in!" The leader of the general was Chen Dao, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Flying Tiger Legion of the Wu Army, who raised his head, looked at the county magistrate, and asked.

"General, rest assured, we are ready, just east of the city!"

"Can it be kept secret?"

"The notice I have pasted yesterday, the god arrests the yamen on the grounds of cracking down on thieves, the whole city is under martial law for three days, the people are not allowed to go out, and within ten days, everyone is not allowed to go out of the city, as long as we are careful, no one will find out that a soldier and horse are stationed in the city!"

Cai Hong hurriedly said.

"Very good, this time I have to disturb the soldiers, and afterwards I will personally ask you for credit from the Nanyang County Guard!"

Chen Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then led the soldiers and horses into the city and stationed in a simple school field in the east of the city.

"County magistrate, they actually stationed tens of thousands of troops in our small city, why?" When this army of soldiers and horses passed by with a murderous aura, the county government secretary couldn't help but ask in a low voice beside the county magistrate.

"Don't ask us about things that you can't let us know, you're trying to find death!"

The county magistrate glared at him coldly, and then cautiously instructed: "Master Han, Chen Changshi, let me tell you, you have to keep an eye on Danshui City during this time, no one can go out of the city, if the news leaks, you and I will lose our heads!" ”

"Yes!"

When the main book and the long history heard this, they trembled and hurriedly got up.

……

In the barracks, all the soldiers quickly settled down, and after Chen Wu arranged the camp, he walked into a barracks and said to a young man in a brocade robe: "Zhou Shangshu, all the officers and soldiers of the 24th Division have arrived in Danshui County!" ”

"Set up camp on the spot, be careful, and try not to leak any traces!"

Zhou Yu's face was calm and his eyes were awe-inspiring.

"Yes!"

"What about the Twenty-Fifth Division?" Zhou Yu thought for a moment and asked.

"The 25th Division has been reduced to zero, and it is still in the process of going north!" Chen Wu replied: "I'm afraid that Wancheng has their eyes, so I staggered the time when the two divisions went north at the same time, after all, the movement is too big, so I estimate that they will be a little late, at least three days to arrive!" ”

"Let them speed up, don't delay business!" Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said.

In order to win Wuguan, he did not hesitate to mobilize the main forces of the two divisions of the Eighth Army to the north, just to ensure the success of this battle.

"Yes!"

Chen Wu's face was serious and his eyes were awe-inspiring.

He is also looking forward to this battle, if he can win the Wuguan without blood, it will definitely be a good thing for him, at least it will make his sons and daughters die a lot.

Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at the cold sky outside the barracks window, a smile appeared on his face, and he said abruptly: "Commander Chen, are you willing to follow me to see the power of Wuguan!" ”

"Be on your orders!"

Chen Wu's eyes lit up.

Both of them put on ordinary civilian clothes, then turned over and got on their horses, took a dozen or so guards who had changed into civilian clothes, and went straight to the direction of Wuguan after leaving the city.

……

Sidaoling.

This looks like a mountain range, in fact, there is only a cliff that can be crossed by a dead road, across the front of Wuguan, is the first natural danger pass of Wuguan, left and right mountain streams, the only road leads to Wuguan, next to the most dangerous mountain stream.

In front of and behind the mountain stream, there are four dangerous passes in the way in and out, so this place is also called Sidaoling.

This is the eastern gateway of Wuguan.

It is also a nail that Wu Jun must pull out if he wants to enter Wuguan.

"Towering Wuguan, the world is in danger, how much does it cost me to break through the barrier!"

Zhou Yu and Chen Wu rode side by side, standing under the Sidaoling, looking up one after another, looking up at the dangerous Sidaoling, looking at the outline of the Wuguan that could already be seen faintly, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"The danger of Wuguan is indeed extraordinary, if it is a strong attack, our soldiers will inevitably suffer countless casualties, if Jinyiwei's plan to change the sky can succeed this time, this battle can save the lives of countless sons and daughters!"

Chen Wu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Commander Chen, if I let me lead my troops to storm Sidaoling and take this pass in one night, are you sure?"

Zhou Yu's eyes looked at the heavily guarded Wei army on the mountain, and suddenly said.

This is the first pass of the Wei army, with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

However, with the danger of Sidaoling, they were enough to block the strong attack of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wu army.

"I can't think of a good way!"

Chen Wu looked at the surrounding terrain and pondered for a long time before he said: "We can only attack, if they don't increase their troops in time, we will have no problem taking Sidaoling overnight, but our casualties will be very large, this kind of offensive battle, kill a thousand enemies, I have to pay two thousand costs, unless I have to do it, I really don't want to storm this place!" ”

"Haha, several legions in the army envy Lu Fengxian for having two big arms on the left and right, Dong is good at fighting, attacking everything, Chen Wu is good at defending, no one can break it!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly bitterly: "It seems that I asked the wrong person today, if I asked about Dong Xi's rough blank, he would definitely say: Just a small pass, how can you stop it, give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

"Lord Shangshu really knows Dong Yuandai!"

A smile appeared on Chen Wu's face.

He and Dong Xi are the two great generals of the Flying Tiger Legion, one is good at attacking and the other is good at defending, and it is really not his strength in attacking cities and conquering cities.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Yu tightened the reins of the horse, turned around directly and said: "Go back and plan a lot, we must take these four mountains, and this plan to change the sky is that we take the four mountains before we enter the martial arts!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Wu nodded.

When the two returned to the Danshui County military camp with more than a dozen personal guards, it was already dark, they had a hasty meal, and then gathered the generals above the regiment to start a night battle, and launched a surprise attack plan on Sidaoling overnight.

"Lord Shangshu, since Zhang Xiu will surrender, why should we attack?" The commander of the 24th Division asked.

"Zhang Xiu is still a little unclear now, although he is biased towards our Wu Jun, but it is difficult to guarantee that he has no other thoughts, at this time we need to let Wu Jun see the strength of Wu Jun and completely stabilize his mentality!"

Zhou Yu asked rhetorically: "Let's put it this way, if you have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in your hands and are still sitting in a pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, will you surrender willingly?" ”

"No!"

The generals immediately understood.

This is to increase the weight and completely tilt the balance in Zhang Xiu's heart towards the Great Wu Dynasty.

"The Wei military captain of Sidaoling Town is named Zhang Han, Zhang Xiu's general, is a good Confucian general, his martial arts are not very good, but he is good at defense, he has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and the division of troops is set up at the pass under the mountain to set up the first defensive obstacle, there are one thousand soldiers and horses, the left wing of the mountainside sets up a second defensive obstacle, about five hundred soldiers and horses, the right wing of the mountainside, the third defensive obstacle, the soldiers and horses are also about five hundred, and finally the heavy soldiers of the mountain road are sticking to it, there are three thousand heavy soldiers, which we must face!"

Zhou Yu pointed to one of the marching maps and saw that the passes and detailed troop deployments were marked on it.

"Is there any deception if the deployment of troops on this is marked in such detail?"

Chen Wu looked at the marching map and suddenly became a little questioning.

"Commander Chen!"

Su Fei, who had been standing quietly on the side of Jingzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, heard this, and immediately looked angry: "This is the deployment map of the troops that our two Jinyi Wei hidden in Zhang Xiu's army in exchange for their lives, the mark on it is absolutely true, and I am willing to guarantee it with my life!" ”

This is the deployment map of the Sidaoling troops obtained by Jinyiwei.

They also paid a lot of money for this.

"I'm sorry, Su Qianhu, I'm not questioning Jinyiwei's loyalty and ability, I'm just cautious, after all, this big battle is fighting with the lives of our soldiers, and I, as a military commander, have to be careful!"

Chen Wu hurriedly apologized.

Although they are not popular in the imperial court, they are still very popular in the military, because their accurate intelligence has weakened countless casualties among military soldiers.

"Okay, Su Qianhu, in fact, Commander Chen has no malicious intentions, we just want to take down Sidaoling at the lowest cost!"

Zhou Yang stood up and played a round.

After speaking, he looked at Chen Wu, and immediately changed the topic, saying, "Commander Chen, if we only have one night, we must fight quickly, how do you think we should attack Sidaoling?" ”

"These four ridges are a dead loop, as long as we attack the first line of defense, it will trigger the movement of the second line of defense forces, and soon the third and fourth lines of defense will be alarmed, on the contrary, if we attack the strongest line of defense, it will trigger them to attack us from behind!"

Chen Wu stared at this map of the distribution of troops, and pondered for a long, long time before he spoke: "If you want to take this place, there is only one way, to attack it by surprise, use more than several times stronger troops, attack four defensive points at the same time, and forcibly push it over!" ”

"What the commander said is very true!"

"Attack four points at the same time to prevent them from answering each other!"

"You just need to be stronger!"

The generals nodded.

"If the troops of the two divisions are dispatched at the same time, can they be taken in one night?" Zhou Yu asked.

"You can give it a try!"

When Chen Wu heard this, he thought about it for a while before nodding in agreement.

"I've heard that a combat method called special warfare is proposed in today's martial arts hall!"

Su Fei said suddenly: "The terrain here is mountains and forests, if we take advantage of the night, we may be able to infiltrate with a small army, without killing or injuring them by surprise attacks, just to make trouble, burn their camp, destroy their food, and cause their self-chaos, and the army will launch a strong attack outside, and under the combination of inside and outside, will it reduce a lot of casualties?" ”

"Special operations?"

When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Jingzhou Martial Arts Hall also said this type of fighting!"

"But no one has tried!"

"It's hard to say if you can make it or not!"

"It's very risky!"

One by one, the regimental commanders and staff officers spoke one after another.

"That's a good idea!"

When Zhou Yu and the two of them heard this, their pupils also changed color, and they had also heard that it was a combat method proposed by His Majesty in May this year when he was in a class in Jinling Lecture Hall, and it is still in controversy.

But in this case, it is very beneficial for them to fight.

"Where are we going to find this elite army?"

Chen Wu thought for a moment and asked.

"Among the two divisions, you don't need many people to select elites with outstanding martial arts, thirty people are enough, I don't believe that you can't find more than 30 soldiers who are familiar with the mountains, have outstanding martial arts, and can also climb rocks and climb mountains!"

Su Fei said with a smile.

There are many Wuxi barbarians in the Eighth Army, and it is not difficult to find these soldiers who are extraordinary in martial arts and can also be familiar with the mountains.

"Su Qianhu's method, you can give it a try!"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam: "The terrain of Sidaoling, taking advantage of the night, even if the Wei army is heavily guarded, there is a gap that can penetrate into it, and if the inside and the outside are combined, it is really possible to take this place without much effort!" ”

"In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, I am willing to try!"

Chen Wu took a deep breath, and there was a resolution in his expression: "Lord Shangshu, I will personally select these elite soldiers, personally lead them to infiltrate, burn the Wei army camp, burn the Wei army's grain and grass, and when the time comes, you will personally lead the army to respond and break through the four mountains in one fell swoop!" ”

"You're going to go in person?"

Zhou Yu's eyes furrowed.

"In the Eighth Army, my martial arts are the highest, and I can only rest assured if I go in person!" Chen Wudao: "And the main force is personally led by Zhou Shangshu, and he can do better than me!" ”

Zhou Yu is the secretary of the General Staff, holding the power of the Military Aircraft Department, he can command the soldiers and horses, plus his ability is not comparable to himself, it is not a problem to control this point of soldiers and horses!

"Okay!"

Zhou Yu thought for a while, agreed, and said: "Starting tomorrow, you will select soldiers, and then use the surrounding peaks to mix as much as possible for a few days, sharpen your guns in battle, and if you are not happy, you will be light!" ”

"No!" Chen Wu took the order.

"Su Fei, is there any news from Governor Li Dadu?" Zhou Yu looked at Su Fei and asked.

"Yes, but it's not good news!"

When Su Fei said this, he immediately smiled slightly bitterly: "There is still some accident in the matter of plotting against Zhang Xiu, and it must be cooperated by Luoyang, so I am afraid that the time will be delayed for a few days!" ”

"What accident?" Zhou Yu frowned.

"The court of the Wei Dynasty has long been prepared for Zhang Xiu's rebellion, and during the Nanyang War, he asked Zhang Xiu to send his son Zhang Quan to Luoyang as a proton!"

Su Fei said analytically: "It's not that Zhang Xiu doesn't want to surrender to our Dawu, but for him, his son is more important, this is the only seedling of their Zhang family, he fights and kills all his life, and naturally he is not afraid of life and death, but he can't let the Zhang family die!" ”

"Human nature!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly: "It's a trouble for us, if we want Zhang Xiu to surrender, at least we have to take back Zhang Quan." ”

"Zhang Xiu is not a fool, why did he give his weakness to Luoyang?"

Chen Wu gritted his teeth.

"He was also forced to be helpless!"

Zhou Yu thought about it from Zhang Xiu's point of view, and soon had a result, and said: "I guess he didn't want to send Proton to Luoyang at the beginning, but he couldn't tear his face with Cao Wei, and he didn't want to give up his military power, so the only way was to let the court trust him, how to trust him, there was nothing more than Proton!" ”

"Now the Ruyang side has begun to rescue!" Su Fei said: "There should be results soon!" ”

"As soon as Luo Yang makes a move, it will inevitably alarm the Wei Dynasty!"

Zhou Yu said: "Our speed is going to be fast, before the Wei Dynasty reacts, we must take the Wuguan!" ”

"That's what the Metropolitan thinks too!"

Su Fei nodded.

"Winning Wuguan is waiting to tear through the gap in the last defensive line of the Wei Dynasty, and this battle is very important for us to attack Guanzhong in the future!"

Zhou Yu inexplicably felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart: "I hope everything can go well!" (To be continued.) )
