Hearing Zhao Hui say this, Xu Shipeng obviously did not have the slightest intention of being willing. He still complained: "Could it be that Huo Han's kid with 30,000 horses will definitely be able to easily capture Ganyang Dao?" General, you are partial! ”

"Bold!" Zhao Hui scolded when he heard this, Xu Shipeng was also stunned when he heard Zhao Hui's angry voice, but more grievances erupted like a blowout, and he said aggrievedly: "General, the last general has been following you for almost ten years, and the battle in the south and the north is not less!" Isn't the feats of war as good as that of a Huo Han who has only followed you for two or three years? The last general, I don't accept it! ”

Seeing Xu Shipeng, whose face was flushed and his eyes were also gloomy, Zhao Hui's heart softened. He grabbed Xu Shipeng's shoulder and said patiently: "You are far more important than Huo Han in my heart!" You are my most loyal veteran Zhao Hui! It's the big deal of the Zezhou Army! However, Ganyang Road is indeed extraordinary. Why do I have to go to Ganyang Road? It's not because he has strong fighting ability and is higher in strategy and tactics than you, but because, Zhang Cheng! ”

"Zhang Cheng? Is that the hairy boy who has not dried up? What did he count? But after winning a battle in Zhenxiong Pass, what can he stand out about? Xu Shipeng said with disdain, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

"You! Let you go to Ganyang Road, how sure are you that you can take it? Even if you can take it, how many people do you think you can take down Ganyang Dao? Zhao Hui asked with some dissatisfaction.

"This ...... There are high mountains on both sides of the Ganyang Road, which is difficult to climb. You can only rely on the way of storming Ganyang Road! Moreover, behind Ganyang Road, there are still more than 100,000 troops stationed, and it is indeed not easy to capture Ganyang Road! Even if you go all out, I'm afraid that most of Zezhou will lose here! Xu Shipeng, who came to his senses at this time, carefully analyzed it and found that if he wanted to successfully win Ganyang Dao, the difficulty was by no means just words.

"Yes! Let you go, the soldiers of Zezhou are brave, but at least seventy or eighty thousand people must be sacrificed to capture Ganyang Road. It's a race against time! Can't let that endless stream of Gyeongju troops come up! It's unimaginably difficult! But Zhang Cheng's kid is different! Don't underestimate this kid! His ambition is not small, he went to Northland County to be a county guard, although he did not want to go through life and death again. But in my opinion, he is more, I'm afraid there are other schemes! But he couldn't have flipped out of the palm of my hand! ”

"Don't talk about this, don't look at him as a general in the army now. But I dare to say that if he continues to be a general, his merits will never be inferior to yours, or even far surpass yours! In the future, it is not impossible to become a general, or even a metropolitan governor, and lead thousands of troops and horses! His ability to lead troops, his ability to command battles, and his way of thinking are far from being comparable to you! The reason why I let Huo Han be the main general of this attack on Ganyang Dao is mainly because of Zhang Cheng! Huo Han has a deep affection for him, and this kid is a person who values love and righteousness, he will never sit back and watch Huo Han fail. ”

In the Daqian Empire, the Metropolitan Governor was the commander of the three armies and was in charge of the army of a country. Its power is so great that it can be said that it is truly one person above and below ten thousand people!

"Ahh The general ...... "Hearing this, Xu Shipeng was extremely shocked!

"That's it! I won't say anything superfluous, let's wait and see! Defeating the Gyeongju Army is the most important thing! Our hegemony needs such people! Do you understand? Zhao Hui said in a deep voice.

"Yes! General, the last general understands! ”

The words were divided into two ends, Huo Han, who had just finished discussing countermeasures with Yang Qiong and Han Jian, looked a little tired, he sat on the chair, looking at the map a little distractedly, and suddenly a young man walked in outside.

"Zhang Cheng! It's so late. If you don't go back to rest, why did you come to me? Huo Han said with some surprise.

Glancing at Huo Han helplessly, Zhang Cheng said: "Commander, I came to mean the general!" ”

"Oh? The marshal gave you an order? Didn't he already promise you to go south? He looked at Zhang Cheng a little strangely and asked.

"Hehe, the marshal doesn't let any other commanders fight in Ganyang Dao, but as soon as you bring it up, you can't wait to agree. Don't you feel that something is wrong? Do you think that you are more sure than the old general Xu Shipeng to be able to win the Ganyang Dao? Zhang Cheng's series of questions immediately blinded Huo Han, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood that there was something wrong with this.

But he didn't want to think about the twists and turns, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what the purpose of the great general, this battle must be won!" Soldiers, never ask anything else! The duty of a soldier is to fight and win the war! ”

He now understands the personality of the commander, and if he talks too much, it may make it the opposite. Zhang Cheng didn't want to say more, he walked to the map and said to Huo Han: "Then let's talk to the commander about this sweet sheep road!" Come and see! ”

After Huo Han approached, Zhang Cheng pointed to the high mountains on both sides of Ganyang Road and said: "Judging from the map, there are high mountains on both sides of Ganyang Road, and the city wall of Ganyang Road is five or six zhang, and our army is at the bottom of the slope, and it is very unfavorable for us to attack from the back!" If you want to work hard, I am afraid that the losses will be very heavy, and the result may not be able to win the Ganyang Road! ”

Speaking of the war, Huo Han, who was still thinking about the lawsuit just now, immediately came to his senses, he nodded and said, "Yes! This Ganyang Road is simply a moat! However, if you want to take Ganyang Road, there is only one way, that is, organize a death squad, with the strength of a division, fiercely attack the city tower, attack the city tower as quickly as possible, and take Ganyang Road before the enemy reinforcements arrive. It is possible to turn a disadvantage into an advantage! As long as we occupy Ganyang Road, we can condescend and look at the Gyeongju army, and even attack the Gyeongju army with lightning speed, and take the opponent by surprise! ”

A veteran is worthy of being a veteran, and this is a very feasible strategic deployment in the normal way of military operations. Zhang Cheng looked at Huo Han with admiration, and after thinking about how to phrase it, Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "It's naturally safer to do this, but can you guarantee that the death squad will definitely be able to take the city?" Not necessarily, right? ”

Huo Han couldn't help but sigh a little, shook his head and didn't speak.

Zhang Cheng didn't rush to speak, Huo Han stared at the map for a long time, he pondered for a long time, and finally said with a light in his eyes: "I thought of it!" Night Raid! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! In terms of traditional fighting methods, Zhang Cheng was too late, and he took advantage of such an opportunity to learn from him with an open mind.

"The more than 40,000 soldiers and horses who have been killed and wounded in front have already caused considerable damage to the enemy, and at the same time, they have also resisted the onslaught of our army day and night during this time, and they have become a tired division. As long as I continue to attack for two days, I will definitely be able to completely incapacitate the soldiers of Ganyang Dao! When the time comes, I will rest for another day, and in the early hours of the night, when the enemy army is most in trouble, I will send an elite army to climb up to the top of the city and assassinate the enemy. Quickly occupy the city, and then the army will attack the city with all its might, and under the fierce offensive, the enemy army will definitely be defeated, and at that time, the general will lead the army to cover and kill, and the enemy army will inevitably retreat completely. The more Huo Han said, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. In his eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride.

"Good! The Governor is a battle-hardened veteran! That's a great plan! There's one more point, though. What should I do when the army storms Ganyang Road and the enemy's reinforcements come? It will inevitably take some time to take the city! During this time, how to fight? Zhang Cheng thought about it carefully and asked.

"Huh? Well, it's more troublesome! Hey, it's a race against time! Victory or defeat is all up to providence! Huo Han was helpless.

"It's better to do this, the commander will give me a battalion of troops, and I will have a battalion climb the high mountain on the right side of Ganyang Road and go straight into the city of Ganyang Road! Stop the arrival of enemy reinforcements! Buy time for the Overseer! Zhang Cheng said.

"Over the mountains? Do you know how high this mountain is? According to the guide, Gannan Mountain is more than 1,800 meters long. There is snow above 500 meters, and the road is extremely rugged! Once the army enters the mountain, what if it gets lost? What should I do if I encounter an avalanche or other accident? No, absolutely not! I can't joke with the lives of fifteen hundred soldiers! You can't even exchange your life for my Huo Han's military exploits! When Huo Han heard this, he was pleasantly surprised at first, but then he vetoed it. Very resolute!

Seeing Huo Han like this, Zhang Cheng's heart warmed, Huo Han thought about him, he reciprocated, and he should do something for him! Zhang Cheng said quite resolutely: "Commander! Could it be that the frontal assault on Ganyang Road will not be dead? Only in this way will we be able to win the war in one fight! Trust me! I will definitely make it! If there is really an accident, it can be regarded as repaying the Governor for his cultivation of humble duties! Please let me go! Finally, Zhang Cheng knelt down and pleaded.

Glancing at Zhang Cheng deeply, tears of emotion flowed from his eyes. He grabbed Zhang Cheng's arched hands and shook them. said: "Whether it succeeds or not, you must come back alive!" ”

Zhang Cheng saw Huo Han nodding, he stood up happily, and the two of them calculated the specific battle plan again, and Zhang Cheng left!

As soon as the next day dawned, Zhang Cheng took Tie Zhu, his ten-person team and Huo Han's personal guard battalion of 1,000 people to Gannan Mountain under the leadership of the guide.

The Third Military Town, which had rested all night, took the lead in provoking the girder and taking the lead. Han Jian was also ruthless enough, and under Huo Han's order, he directly selected the fatherless and motherless people in the third army town, and the only son in the family formed a death squad, a battalion of troops, and stormed the city. Han Jian also promised that the first one to attack the city would directly promote him to be a captain! 500 taels of silver!

There will be brave men under the reward! The soldiers of this battalion are really not afraid of death, and they regard death as home! He didn't even look at the arrows that came down from the city, and rushed forward desperately.

Climbing the ladder, one person was knocked down, and more people made up for it. Rush to the city wall one after another! The city walls, which have been dyed crimson with blood, will be even more enchanting and ghostly!

"Smash me! Smash hard! The Jizhou army must not be allowed to rush up! As the head guard of Ganyangdao City, Yin Tianba, the commander of the first military town of the Gyeongju Army, and the second and third military towns, waved his war knife and shouted.

Yin Tianba really deserves to be a great general. Will be talented. Every time he passed a soldier, the warrior was in high spirits, and all of them fought to the death.

Long Yue, the commander of the Second Military Town on the side, said to Yin Tianba with a sad face: "Brother Yin, the enemy army seems to have become more crazy!" Look at those Jizhou sergeants one by one, where the hell are they here to fight! It's just a death sentence! Look at the eyes of the Jizhou army one by one, they are even redder than when we killed his father and mother! We have been fighting hard for more than half a month, and there are only 12,000 soldiers and horses left of the 30,000 people. If you continue to fight like this, Gan Yangdao is afraid that she won't be able to keep it! ”

"No! The general said, I must be staring at Zhao Hui here for a month! We must fight to the death! The general has his own plans, and the general this time he transferred 10,000 cavalry from the Gyeongju Army and 5,000 cavalry from Runzhou, for what purpose, you know better than me. And what is the purpose of our army holding out here, you know better than me! Long Yue, don't say more. Defend yourself against the enemy! Yin Tianba said sharply.

"Yes!" Long Yue knew that this was indeed the case, the general had already transferred 15,000 cavalry from the Ganyang Daorao army, wanting to go around to the back of the enemy, and when the two armies were stalemate, they would flank the Jizhou Zezhou army from behind! In order to completely crush the enemy army! Only the top brass in Gyeongju knew about this matter.

Thinking of these top secrets, Long Yue had no choice but to retreat!

Different from the fierce battle on Ganyang Road, Zhang Cheng was leading a thousand soldiers and horses to detour to Gannan Mountain at this moment, and walked for half a day, because the road was rugged and extremely difficult. A brigade of 1,000 people wanted to walk on extremely narrow mountain roads, with great difficulty. But they have already climbed to a position of eight hundred meters under the guidance of their guides. Sure enough, as the guide said, after a height of 500 meters, snow appeared on Gannan Mountain. Roads have become more difficult.

The brothers wore three layers of cotton clothes, overcame the severe cold, gritted their teeth and endured the cold, and walked forward desperately.

The cold wind was blowing, Zhang Cheng looked at the endless snow, a pair of feet buried in the knee-thick snow, he saw a thousand people being stretched out, the team that was originally very slow because the road was difficult to walk, now walking even slower!

Zhang Cheng stood in the middle of the team, and he shouted desperately: "Brothers, we have now walked half the distance, and in one more day at most, we can climb over Gannan Mountain and rush out of the snow!" When the time comes, it will be us to kill the enemy army and decapitate the meritorious service! The general's position is yours! Brothers, work hard! ”

Zhang Cheng's prestige in the First Military Town is still there. Just because of the battle of Zhang Cheng Zhenxiongguan, all the soldiers in the First Military Town were all thrown to him! Even after tea and dinner, the soldiers of the First Army Town will come up with this heroic story to talk about! It is precisely because of this that they are willing to follow Zhang Cheng and take such a risk! They instinctively believe that Zhang Cheng can lead them, behead the enemy, and make military merits!

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, their originally complaining mood seemed to be much better. Gritted his teeth and continued to advance.

Until the night, the soldiers of the personal guard battalion, who had been walking in the snow for a day, were exhausted and hungry and cold, and finally after Zhang Cheng's order, they could take a temporary rest.

A thousand people rested in a cave on the mountain, and everyone took out the firewood that had been prepared long ago and lit a fire. Eating godmother.

Zhang Cheng called the guide, who was already very unbearable, his lips were purple from the cold, and his body was trembling. When he came to Zhang Cheng, his hands kept rubbing back and forth.

"General, what did the general tell me?"

"Look, where are we now?" Zhang Cheng also endured the severe cold, and said with some disadvantages.

The guide thought for a moment, he gritted his teeth and trembled and said, "General, general, general." At our current speed, we should have traveled to the position of 1,200 meters of Gannan Mountain, all the way, all the way through the diagonal line, we should have reached the destination! ”

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed! He stood up and shouted at his brothers, "Brothers! Did you hear that? After a hard day's work, we have arrived at our destination! Tonight, everyone will take out all the wine they have brought with them, drink some of them, and warm up their bodies! Have a good night's rest, and tomorrow we will go down the mountain and go straight into the enemy's city! Kill them by surprise! ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and it was forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, if it weren't for the fact that they had climbed the snow mountain this time, they wouldn't have had this opportunity to drink! What's more, they finally don't have to go through such a cold! Although Jizhou is also very cold, they are climbing on the snowy mountains, they have to wear leather armor, carry weapons and dry food on their backs, and there is no shelter in the slightest, the cold wind has been blowing, such a continuous cold, even the snowman is afraid and can't bear it!

Everyone drank a lot of wine, and with a strong sense of drunkenness, they fell asleep. Even Zhang Cheng, who has never drunk alcohol, drank a little more, and then fell asleep!
