After passing Jiashan, the Xuzhou army began to tightly seal the whereabouts of the army!

Although the 8,000 army was dressed in the enemy's battle robes, Zhuge Jun still chose the unconventional way of marching day and night, and as far away from villages, towns, and cities as possible, he specially chose the barren mountains and Daze to march, and at the same time, Yan Yan and Chen Deng also sent a large number of scouts and scouts to hunt down the peddlers, pawns, woodcutters and hunters they encountered along the way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, these peddlers, pawns, woodcutters, and hunters are innocent, and Yan Yan and Chen Deng still can't let them go!

Again, it's better to kill the wrong one, don't let it go, once you let go of these peddlers and pawns, woodcutters and hunters, the Xuzhou army will face the risk of being exposed at any time, and this time, the Xuzhou army will be attacking: Dingyuan, once the whereabouts are defeated in advance, I am afraid that I can think of it with my toes, and the plan to attack Dingmai will definitely come to naught!

And whether or not Dingyuan can be captured is the most critical move in the entire strategy proposed by Chen Deng!

Among Yuan Shu's generals, Ji Ling Yang Feng has the highest prestige and the greatest power, and the army brought by Ji Ling Yang Feng to Culai Mountain is 80,000 or 90,000 people, and the number of troops is not only more than Yuan Shu, but even 10,000 more than the rest of the people's armies combined!

Therefore, if Ji Ling's army cannot be mobilized, then Chen Deng's strategy will not be realized at all!

Because, as long as Ji Ling is still by Yuan Shu's side, as long as Yuan Cao is still fighting together, he will be destroyed by them in the middle of a hand!

Because of this, the news of the sneak attack on Dingyuan must not be leaked in advance!

Seven days later, the Xuzhou army had already passed Huailing, and it was only less than two hundred miles away from Dingyuan!

At the northern foot of Niutou Mountain in Dingyuan, 8,000 Xuzhou troops are resting in a dense forest in a secluded valley.

Although this valley is remote, it is only less than a hundred miles away from Dingyuan City.

Although it was broad daylight now, after ten consecutive days of high-intensity night marching, most of the officers and men of the Xuzhou army were exhausted, and they had already fallen asleep.

Zhuge Jun, Yan Yan, Chen Deng, and Huang Zhong were completely sleepy, and the three of them were getting together to discuss the plan of the surprise attack on Dingyuan.

Spring and Autumn Warring States for more than 500 years, Dingyuan has always been an important town, after hundreds of years of operation, the scale of the city of Dingyuan has been extremely large, the city fortifications are also extremely strong, coupled with the large population of Dingyuan, the strong man is abundant, although Yuan Shu took away 50,000 troops, but the troops left in Dingyuan will not be less.

Zhuge Jun said: "Dingyuan is divided into large and small cities, the circumference of the big city is more than 20 miles, the circumference of the small city is more than 10 miles, the wall is four zhang high, and the north and south sides are dug ditches to think that the moat, and the strong attack is afraid that there is no chance of victory!" ”

Huang Zhong thought for a while, and suddenly proposed: "Can you send a few hundred sharp soldiers to quietly enter the city from the mouth of the drainage channel, and then open the city gate at night to receive the army into the city?" ”

Zhuge Jun suddenly looked uplifted when he heard this, but where Xiongcheng Dayi, there must be hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, and the water and drainage of so many residents is a big deal, so there are basically huge water supply and drainage projects, so that this water supply and drainage system has become a secret passage connecting the inside and outside of the city.

"No, no." Yan Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The old man once carefully surveyed the drainage channel of Gaoping, its east and west are about twenty zhang long, the north and south are about four zhang wide, and the depth is about two zhang, all of which are made of boulders, the water mouth is divided into three layers, each layer has five square water holes, and the stones in the hole are staggered, and the water comes out of it and people are not allowed to pass, it is not possible at all!" ”

Zhuge Jun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Gaoping's drainage system is so tightly repaired? It's better than Changsha in the 21st century, and Changsha in the 21st century can see sewage flowing everywhere! ”

Yan Yan sighed, and said helplessly: "Gongzi doesn't know, Dingyuan's water supply and drainage system is specially designed by famous skilled craftsmen. ”

Huang Zhong said again: "Then we can only send Rui Shiqiao and Orion into the city." ”

"This is not good, you yourself don't know who Yan Xiang is, and the one who guards the city must be his genius brother."

"Then go to the city in phases and batches." Huang Zhong said again, "Then assemble and seize the city gate at night!" ”

"Entering the city in phases and batches is more likely to cause accidents!" Yan Yan shook his head again and again when he heard this, it is true that these soldiers are unstoppable, and it is true that they are not afraid of death, but their temper is too domineering, if they let these big-headed soldiers enter Dinggong City and no one restrains them, it will be strange if they don't make trouble, but once they make trouble, then they will play everything!

"Then it can't be helped." Huang Zhong spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Is there any other way?" ”

When the three of them were at a loss, Zhou Cang suddenly strode over and made a report: "Childe, the scout has reported, there is a group of merchants from outside the mountain pass in front, there are more than 500 good horses but only about 50 people, our army is just short of horses, did you send troops to kill this group of merchants, and then take away this batch of good horses?" ”

"And this?" Zhu Huoran got up and said in a deep voice, "Let Jiang Xu take five hundred people and take the horse away!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Cang suddenly agreed and took the order, but Yan Yan's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly said, "Third son, the old man has a plan to enter the city!" ”

On the galloping road at the northern foot of Niutou Mountain, more than 50 merchants are riding more than 500 good horses forward.

This is a group of Dawan merchants who came to the Central Plains to sell horses, led by a thin Hu man named Tagore, but in order to facilitate business with the Central Plains people, he gave himself a Chinese name, called Li Geor.

Tagore naturally didn't know that his more than 500 good horses were still being targeted by others, and at this time, he was leading more than 50 warriors from the clan to drive the horses forward unhurriedly, and less than eighty miles in front of him was the Han people, and Tagore never thought that his horse team would be attacked here.

Without warning, a wolf's tooth arrow suddenly roared out from the dense forest in front of him.

The Dawan warriors who were riding at the front were defenseless, and they were shot through the throat at once, and immediately turned over and fell off their horses.

The next moment, dense locust feathered arrows had been shot out of the dense forest and grass on both sides of the gallop, and the more than fifty great food warriors who walked in front of the horses and fell behind them screamed and planted their horses.

At this time, the horses in the middle were also frightened and began to run wildly in all directions.

Tagore believed in the reins of his horse and was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but hundreds of Central Plains people suddenly rushed out of the dense forests on both sides, and all of them were heavily armored soldiers wearing iron armor and holding large shields.

Seeing the two heavily armored warriors carrying Leng Sensen's long knives and killing him directly, Tagore was suddenly terrified, and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Don't don't, don't kill me, I am a friend of General Yuan Shu, as long as you let me live, I am willing to sacrifice another five hundred good horses, no, a thousand good horses!" ”

Jiang Xu carried the bronze man, and was about to smash the Dawanhu man in front of him who was lying on horseback and pretending to be dead, but he couldn't prevent this Hu man from speaking the Central Plains, although he had a strong Xiliang accent, but he could understand it, as soon as he heard that this Dawanhu man could offer another thousand good horses, Xu Chu didn't dare to make his own opinion, and immediately shouted: "Tie up, take it back and hand it over to the general." ”

"No!" The two Danyang military camp soldiers suddenly agreed, stepped forward and tore Tagore off his horse and tied him up without saying anything.

After less than a moment, more than 500 good horses were all driven into the dense forest on the side of the gallop, and the corpses of more than 50 Dawan Huqi were also dragged into the forest and hidden.
