Zhang Fei has been in Zigui County for two days.

But for a while, Zhang Fei really didn't know how to break through the mouth of the Yangtze River Gorge that was blocking his attack on Yizhou.

Ma Zhongchang, who accompanied the army, Ma Wuliang, Ma Liang, and Ma Yan's second brother, he was helpless in the face of such a situation.

The current situation is no longer a matter that can be solved by a few military horses, even if you have thousands of troops, in the face of such terrain, you have no way to attack.

People's Guanzhai is located on the road, on a mountain road that can only be used for one or two people to pass guò, not to mention that there is a Yizhou army on the cliffs and cliffs along the mountain road, even if the Xinhan army can be killed safely outside this pass? Do one or two people go up together to attack someone's village? Someone will kill you with a big rock.

Two days later, Huang Zu finally arrived, and there was a naval army sent by Dongting Lake to support Zhang Fei, and of course, a batch of weapons and equipment were also transported by the way.

Zigui County official office is full of generals.

Zhang Fei couldn't bear it a little, and said a little anxiously: "General Huang Zu, generals, you have come just in time, the current situation is a bit difficult to open." Come and give General Ben a total! ”

Huang Zu seemed to be a little helpless, and seemed a little reluctant to spread his hands and said: "General Zhang, you are going to make Huang embarrassed, ask me for a plan, it is better to ask Mr. Ma for a plan." Seriously, if Huang had a way to capture the pass of the Yizhou army, Huang would have already opened the passage to Shu back then. If that were the case, the original Jingzhou army would have already entered Yizhou. No need to ...... later."

Huang Zu is now, in fact, he does not really want to serve the New Han Dynasty. He only promised Liu Yi to guard Jiangxia for Liu Yi. He was not mentally prepared to fight for the New Han Dynasty. However, now that he is under Zhang Fei's jurisdiction, it is not good not to listen to Zhang Fei's orders. If it wasn't Zhang Fei who wrote a letter to transfer him before, but Sun Gan or Yi wanted to transfer him, he would have found some excuse to push him away, casually saying that he was sick, and he would not have led the army to Zigui County, at least not in person.

Of course. Huang Zu may still miss Liu Biao a little bit in his heart, but he is also a person who knows things. He also knew in his heart that it was indeed a favor for Liu Yi to be able to treat him like this. He couldn't chill Liu Yi too much. In particular, he knows what kind of person Zhang Fei is, and Liu Yi will probably think about his mental problems, and will not make him too embarrassed. But Zhang Fei would never consider any of his problems. If he can't be mobilized, in case Zhang Fei is annoyed by this, he may not care about anything in the future, and it is very likely that he will be killed first. Zhang Fei wants to kill someone. Who dares to say that they will be able to stop it? Huang Zu asked himself if he was Zhang Fei's opponent.

"General Huang Zu, don't be modest, I've heard a lot of people say it. General Huang Zu, you are good at using soldiers, brave and strategic. Fight bravely, at least. It's better than the brains of a big and rough man. You should know the specific situation, right? Let's talk about how to march to Yizhou with our current situation. Zhang Fei seemed to be about to catch Huang Zu, and he had to ask Huang Zu to give him advice.

Hehe, with Zhang Fei's temperament, he wanted to directly wave his army to kill him, but the reality was like that, how could he kill him? So, I have to be patient.

"Huang Mou understands...... Huang Zu was helpless, he just thought about it reluctantly: "General Zhang, in fact, from our Jingzhou, all the way to Yizhou, like our current pass, there should be a lot, want to fight all the way in, I think...... It's almost impossible. ”

"Uh, no way? Even if it's not possible, we have to kill it. Zhang Fei's eyes widened, as if he was not satisfied with Huang Zu's words.

"General Zhang, attacking the city and plundering the fortress and seizing the enemy's passes is nothing more than a method of storming, besieging, sneak attacking, counter-attacking, and so on." Huang Zu knew that if Zhang Fei was not satisfied, he was afraid that he would not have to leave today, so he had to analyze it head-on: "In the face of the pass in front of us, it is obviously impossible to storm and besiege, so the only way to do this is to work hard from sneak attacks and counter-attacks." ”

"Yes, yes, this is not an ordinary city pass, a forcible siege or something, it is impossible at all." Zhang Fei saw that Huang Zu really had some ideas, and couldn't help but urge happily: "Then tell me quickly, what about the sneak attack?" What about the other way around? ”

"Sneak attack, that is, sneaking into the pass, trying to find a way to kill them at once, has General Zhang considered this method? Will it work? Although Huang Zu knew the word attacking the city, he hadn't considered how to attack the city, in fact, Huang Zu was not a strategist, and his resourcefulness would not be much better than Zhang Fei, but he would just spend a little more brains than Zhang Fei.

These methods, as long as they are leading the army, in the face of Zhang Fei's current situation, they will already consider the feasibility of these methods and whether they can adopt which method can be adopted.

"The current Yizhou Army, their vigilance is too high, and it is unlikely that they want to sneak attack, even if they want to go around and sneak attack, there is no other way to kill that pass." Ma Zhong often said: "We have already inquired with the local people, and they all said that in addition to this road along the Yangtze River, they really can't find a way to go directly to the mouth of the Yangtze River gorge. The special soldiers of the mountains and forests that we borrowed from the Xinhan army in Dongting Lake, they have also explored the road, and it is impossible for our army to climb over those mountains and bypass them. ”

"A sneak attack is impossible, so the only way to do it is to use the counter, can you contact the guards at that pass? Is it possible to persuade them? Huang Zu said: "If we can persuade its defenders to surrender, then we don't have to fight, we can seize the pass ahead." ”

Ma Zhongchang shook his head and said: "This is also unlikely, our people will not be able to connect with the guards of the Yizhou Army at all, they will not let people enter the customs at all now, but anyone who approaches their defensive area will be killed." ”

"Alas...... Then that's going to be hard. Huang Zu shook his head helplessly and remained silent.

"Oh, by the way, who is the reinforcement from Dongting Lake to lead the army?" Zhang Fei woke up, and the fleet of the Xinhan Army in Dongting Lake almost came to Zigui County with Huang Zujun. He hasn't specially met with the commander of the Dongting Lake Xinzhou Naval Army.

"General Zhang Fei is the last general. Dragon Song. A young general stood up and bowed to Zhang Fei.

"Dragon Song? Why does this name sound familiar? Zhang Fei looked at Ma Zhongchang a little blankly.

"Ahh This ...... "Ma Zhong often scratched his head, indicating that he didn't know him."

Zhang Fei and Ma Zhongchang were all officially from the New Han Dynasty after Jingzhou was recovered, and they were naturally unfamiliar with some old people in the New Han Dynasty.

"Hehe, it's not strange that General Zhang Fei doesn't recognize the last general, the last general is nothing in the New Han Army. I've heard of the last general. Maybe I heard my brother-in-law talk about it, right? Long Ge smiled and said, "Long Xin is my sister, the son of the leader of a stream of water thieves in Dongting Lake back then. ”

"Huh? I remember. Huang Zu suddenly looked at Long Ge and said, "Sure enough, heroic boy, I have actually heard of your father and son a long time ago, but I have never had the opportunity to see you." ”

"Hehe, General Huang Zu, if we had met a long time ago, I'm afraid that either you will die or I will live." Long Ge said with a relaxed face.

Although Long Ge is not too famous in the New Han Dynasty, relatively speaking, the martial arts are not very strong. Now he can only be regarded as a second-rate general. However, he has experienced countless battles, and with Huang Xu's little slippery head, he has really learned a lot. When it comes to fighting, he is also quite clever and has his own ideas. This time. He took the initiative to invite Ying, who was responsible for bringing a New Han Army naval army to support Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was originally a person who didn't like red tape. People who have something to say, so. There was no special meeting with Huang Zu and the generals from Dongting Lake Xinzhou, and they were directly invited here to discuss matters, so they didn't know Long Ge yet.

"It turned out to be the younger brother of my brother Liu Yi's younger sister. Haha, not bad, well, for a while, let's drink and not get drunk! Zhang Fei suddenly had a good impression of Long Ge, if it weren't for the many generals now, he would have wanted to go up to pull Long Ge over and drink with him.

Ma Zhongchang glanced at Zhang Fei angrily, this guy, as soon as he saw someone he had a good impression of, the first thing he wanted to pull someone to drink with him was. He didn't forget the main thing now, and said to Long Ge: "General Long Ge, I have been looking up for a long time, now, we are all helpless about how to attack Yizhou, I don't know what you think about General Long Ge?" ”

In terms of the experience of fighting, many people are really not as good as Long Ge, and in the face of how to fight a battle, Long Ge's thinking is much more open.

He has been thinking about this issue without saying anything.

Seeing that Ma Zhong often asked himself, Long Ge naturally would not be modest, and he said solemnly: "General Zhang, General Huang, Mr. Ma, the lord's order, the last general also knows." So, don't forget, the lord didn't mean that we must attack Yizhou. However, it requires us to attract the attention of Liu Zhang in Yizhou as much as possible, so that Liu Zhang does not dare to act rashly. And this so-called rash act should refer to the current alliance between him and others. Therefore, I think that we don't need to be too anxious now, what we should do is to know that the Yizhou army knows first, and now, we have pressed the border with a large army and are preparing for a large-scale attack. ”

"Yes, yes, we have thought about this question for a long time, but now how can we let the Yizhou Army know?"

"General Zhang, attacking by land, there is only one dangerous mountain road, and our military horses cannot be opened, so it is impossible for the Yizhou army to feel the pressure." Long Ge seemed to think for a while and said, "We might as well do this for the time being, we can put the army on the river, well, now we have a lot of warships to Zigui County, right?" On the river surface that is about a mile wide, hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of military horses are lined up on the boat, so that the Yizhou army at the Yangtze River Gorge Pass in front of us can see very intuitively, we are beating drums and shouting in unison, even if we don't directly kill their pass river, it is enough to make them feel the pressure, right? In this way, they must report the situation to Chengdu. In addition, General Zhang Fei can go to the pass to fight and send people to fight separately, in the name of the major generals of our army, so that when the enemy army hears that our army has actually dispatched so many generals, can they not panic? Originally, a General Zhang Fei could deter them, but what if General Huang Zhong, General Gan Ning, and General Guan Yu were added? Finding someone to pretend to be a general is a trivial matter, and it is a very easy thing. ”

Syllable!

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and said happily: "Not bad, not bad!" This method is feasible, and in this way, it will definitely make the Yizhou army nervous and scared immediately. ”

The army is on the mountain road. It is not easy for the defenders of Yizhou to feel the pressure, but. What if the rivers were full of warships and soldiers of the New Han Army? Can they not panic? As soon as they panicked, they had to send the situation to Liu Zhang quickly. And when Liu Zhang learned about it, he must have been even more scared.

"Well, General Long Ge, even if this is the case, it is unlikely that we will break through the pass ahead, and in this case, the Yizhou side will definitely increase its troops to defend it immediately, in this case. Wouldn't it be much more difficult for us to break through this hurdle? ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, the pass is dead, people are alive, I believe that there will be a way to break through this pass. The position we put up temporarily was just to attract the attention of the Yizhou army and make the Yizhou side feel the pressure. Next. We can slowly figure out a way to break through the barriers that stand in front of us. Long Ge said with a relaxed face: "General Zhang, you and General Huang will put pressure on the front pass tomorrow and give Long three days." Maybe we can find a way to break through the pass ahead. ”

"Well, there's no way around it." Zhang Fei nodded and adopted Long Ge's opinion.

The generals discussed the details again. And they departed.

After Long Ge left, he immediately found the dozen or so soldiers who had lent Zhang Fei a special soldier in the mountains and forests earlier.

Long Ge really had no choice at this time. It's just that he has been following Liu Yi for a long time, and he has learned a little bit of Taishan's temperament that does not change color when it collapses in front of him. I can calm down and think about everything, and I am no longer as frizzy as before.

Moreover, Long Ge knows that in this world, there is no absolute Jedi, and under any circumstances, it is necessary to turn disadvantages into advantages.

After listening to the soldiers' scouting descriptions, they were asked to describe the mountainous terrain they had reconnoitred.

Through the map, Long Ge saw the situation of the enemy on both sides very intuitively.

The west of Zigui is a big mountain, no, not only the west, in fact, all directions, the entire Zigui County, in fact, is equivalent to a small land, but under the mountain in the north, there is a Yangtze River flowing through.

According to the description, it is unlikely that he would want to lead the army directly over the mountains. Long Ge also had no choice for a while.

The next day, when Long Ge was gathering warships and horses in Zhang Fei, Huang Zu and other generals to show off their might to the Yizhou army at the pass, Long Ge decided to personally inspect the terrain.

At noon, Long Ge first walked around the foot of the mountain along the west side of Zigui County, and walked into the mountain where Zigui County meets in the southwest.

He found that there was a river meandering out of the corner of the southwestern mountains, and his heart moved, and he followed the river into the mountains to investigate. Finally, I went to the bottom of some cliffs and saw a waterfall cascading down the mountain.

Rivers......

Where there are mountains, there must be rivers, Long Ge thought, the mountains in the west of Zigui County, there are rivers on this side, then, on the other side, there should also be rivers, right? There is no road in the mountains, but isn't it a road where the river flows? If the river on the other side flows into the Yangtze River to the north, isn't it equivalent to following the river and directly reaching the pass of the mountain pass? Of course, the premise is that the river under the foot of the mountain on the other side does not flow directly down the cliff like this side, otherwise it will be difficult for the sergeant to dive along the river.

Long Ge thought of this possibility, and his heart was moved, and he immediately called those special soldiers in the mountains and forests, and asked them to go into the mountains to search immediately. One, to find a way, you can let your military horses from Zigui County light yì over the way over the mountain. The second is to find out whether there will be a river on the other side of this mountain.

Long Ge thought about it and was still a little uneasy, and decided to explore it with this group of soldiers.

At this time, the section of the Yangtze River outside Zigui County was already full of warships, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Han Army were all lined up on the warships, slowly moving towards the direction of the pass.

And Zhang Fei, with hundreds of soldiers on his side, several of them were pretending to be the prestigious generals of the New Han Army, marching from the mountain road to the pass together.

The Yizhou army in the mouth of the Yangtze River gorge, they were on the mountain, on the pass, and they saw the dense warships of the New Han Army on the river. Those warships seem to be able to pave a long stretch of the Yangtze River.

With the sound of war drums on the warship, the soldiers shouted and shook the sky, and the Yizhou army guarding the pass was all awe-inspiring, and no one dared to slack off, so they hurriedly entered the battle state.

Leng Bao and Lei Tong were drinking wine in the tabernacle, and they talked about each other.

"Humph! The lord is too worried, guarding the mouth of the Yangtze River Gorge that is not open for thousands of people, even if Liu Yi has thousands of troops and horses? Don't want to kill in. ”

"General Leng Bao, don't underestimate the enemy. The invincible prestige of the New Han Army was not earned for nothing, it was accumulated after one battle after another. At the beginning, the Xinhan Army also fought a lot of tough battles and battles, but weren't they all defeated? So we really can't take it lightly. The lord sent Lei to come, just to assist General Leng, but he had no other meaning. ”

"Hehe, Brother Lei, there is no need to say more, drinking and drinking......" Leng Bao's triangular eyes narrowed and he toasted.

"Report ......"

At this time, a sergeant sent an urgent report.

"General Leng, General Lei, the big thing is not good, the New Han Army is coming, and they have dispatched tens of thousands of elite soldiers to kill it!"

"What?"

With a clang, the flask in the military tent was tipped over, and it was knocked over when the cold bag stood up suddenly.

"What are you kidding? Our fortress is set up on a narrow mountain road, and they can still deploy tens of thousands of troops and horses to attack us? Leng Bao strode out of the tent and asked. (To be continued......)
