Just before the army set off, Sun Liang suddenly found Liu Fan and said worriedly: "Dashuai! I recommend going later! At least wait until it's completely dark, and then sneak away! ”

Liu Fan glanced at Sun Liang and asked, "Why?" Tell me your reasoning! ”

Sun Liang explained, "Just now I sent someone to find a guide, according to the local guide, from Hejin to Yangyi can only be passed by jumping canyon, in addition to this, you can only go back to Wu'an and start from Cishan to Yangyi, this road is too far, with our current situation, it is impossible to choose this road." And the terrain of the canyon is very steep, if the enemy sets up an ambush along the way, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties! ”

Liu Fan nodded and said, "And then?" Is this the only reason? ”

Sun Liang hurriedly said, "Of course not!" The main reason is that we are likely to be aware of our departure. After all, we have as many as 40,000 prisoners, and there must be many spies or dissidents among them, and they must have seen such a big move by our army. Once we leave, we will not be able to see these people with just the 1,000 people left behind, which is tantamount to telling the rogues of our whereabouts! So I suggest that I leave later, at least to avoid the eyes and ears of the rogue and buy time for our army! What do you think? ”

Liu Fan stood up and patted Sun Liang on the shoulder and said, "Sun Liang, you are very good!" You can do your due diligence to consider the whole army for us, and prove that I am not wrong. And your concerns are well founded, but I don't agree with you. The first thing you have to see is that our opponents are undisciplined. I probably wouldn't have dared to do that with a well-trained elite, but I'm not worried about these rogues! A night march is not something that anyone can do! At least not the rogue! Most of these homeless people are some coerced homeless people, in terms of hardware, these homeless people lack food and clothing, many of them have not eaten much meat, most of them suffer from severe night blindness, and at night they are completely blind. Not to mention marching and fighting, they may not be able to see it even when we stand in front of them at night when there is no fire. From the bottom of my heart, even if the rogues knew the news, they would not attack at night, because the only people who could sneak attack us were Liu Neng, Luo Rucai and others, and these people had suffered our big losses! Without cannon fodder as a cover, they wouldn't be stupid enough to fight with us on their own! Take 10,000 steps back and say, what if you are ambushed? Three or two thousand people, with our tens of thousands of troops, can completely defeat them in a short time! ”

In the end, Liu Fan concluded: "So! Sometimes you can't just see your own shortcomings, but also the shortcomings of your enemies! And night blindness is the enemy's deadliest vulnerability! You know, in order to overcome the loophole of night blindness among soldiers, I spend a lot of money every year to buy oranges from the south! Why? Thought tangerines could cure night blindness! In order to make the night battle our killer weapon! For the general, he must be judged! In the face of huge gains, this is still worth the risk! ”

Sun Liang looked at Liu Fan with reverence on his face, and said sincerely: "It's still handsome, and it's far-sighted!" I admire the humble position! ”

Liu Fan haha, waved his hand and said, "What kind of foresight, I also learned about this phenomenon by chance, just think a little more!" Well, we're running out of time! Go down and get ready, we're about to go!" ”

In the evening, twilight fell, and under the cover of night, Liu Fan led nearly 10,000 troops to slowly march along the canyon from He Jin to Yangyi. It is no stranger to the night march and the upper and lower parts of the captive army, and the combination of night emergencies, marches, and long-distance runs are all one of the training subjects of the captive army. The road in the canyon was not easy to walk, and the Breakers did not know anything about the road conditions here, even if there were local guides who were familiar with the road, the Breakers had to slow down their march, and the road was less than forty miles, and they walked for four hours, starting from the time of the time until the time of the ugly time to reach the mouth of the valley near Yangyi.

After arriving at the valley mouth, Liu Fan led the army to find a hillside, and under the cover of the terrain, Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to seize the time to rest, and he found Sun Liang, Song Cheng and various battalion-level officers to discuss countermeasures. The conditions on the march are limited, the soldiers are lying down and sleeping, Liu Fan and other officers don't pay attention to anything, a few people sit on the ground, Liu Fan, as the head of the first army, was the first to speak, "Now I will tell you about the situation in Yangyi, according to the confession of the tongue caught by the scouts, the current situation is that nearly 6,000 people in the first battalion and the second battalion were surrounded by more than 80,000 people in the small town of Yangyi, and the Liukou launched more than a dozen attacks on the town from morning to night, and nearly 10,000 corpses were abandoned by the Liukou in just one day, which shows the fierceness of the battle, At the same time, the casualties of the soldiers defending the city of our captives were not small. I guess the reason why the Liukou are attacking Yangyi so recklessly is to eat our first and second battalions before we can reinforce them. So we must act as soon as possible! I have decided to launch an offensive against the enemy army before the end of the Yin period, and strive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop to relieve the siege of Yangyi! Next, Sun Liang will explain to you the deployment of the enemy's troops! ”

After Liu Fan finished speaking, Sun Liang immediately said, "Battalion commanders, the current situation is as follows, the enemy army has a total of about 80,000 people, and they are led by the four leaders of the Eight Great Kings, Zhang Xianzhong, Man Tianfei, Xing Red Wolf, and Black Evil God. Among them, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, is the strongest, living at the south gate, flying all over the sky at the west gate, Xing Hongwolf at the east gate, and the black god at the north gate. The closest to us is the Black Demon Divine Department at the North Gate, with about 10,000 people, and its elite men and horses are only 1,000 people, and their strength is also the weakest. And now we have an army of more than 8,500 people, according to the plan of our staff team, we can divide into three groups to attack Mantianfei at the west gate, Xing Hongwolf at the east gate, and the black god at the north gate. ”

After listening to this, Song Cheng said with some doubts: "What about Zhang Xianzhong?" You said it too! He's the strongest! What if he sends someone to support us when we attack? Isn't this the one to be the enemy? ”

Sun Liang explained: "It is precisely because Zhang Xianzhong is the most powerful that we have to skip them!" Zhang Xianzhong lives at the south gate, and it is also the only place to flow to Shexian County after the defeat of the Liukou! Zhang Xianzhong! Although this man is the nominal leader of the alliance, he is vicious and selfish, and even if we attack other leaders, we will not save him! This strategy is also in line with the magic of encircling three queyi, we must leave a way for the rogue to survive, otherwise if the rogue does the battle of the trapped beast, the casualties of our army will inevitably increase! You must know that our combat goal is no longer to encircle and suppress the rogue! It's about relieving the siege of Yangyi! ”

Liu Fan stood up and said, "Okay! Now that Sun Liang has said it so clearly! Then do it! Now I declare a combat mission! Song Cheng, you lead three battalions to attack the West Gate, Jiang Wu, you lead four battalions to attack Xing Hongwolf at the East Gate, and I personally lead five battalions to attack the North Gate! Attack as soon as the time is over! (To be continued.) )
