Taihang Mountain, with its steep shape, has always been regarded as a place of military importance. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the beacon fire has been incessant for more than 2,000 years. Its mountain range is in a north-south direction, while the east and west sides, horizontal veins and horizontal veins, and the terrain is complex.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will definitely lose your way when you walk into the Taihang Mountain.

However, with the guidance of special mountain and forest soldiers and local guides, the New Han Army will not get lost.

After Zhao Yun discussed with a group of generals, he immediately made a decision, he decided to personally lead an army deep into Taihang Mountain, and then bypassed, bypassed Maocheng, and attacked the 50,000 cavalry of Xin Ping and Han Meng.

In order not to be noticed by the soldiers of the Yuan army, Zhao Yun led an army, from the north far away from Maocheng more than ten miles into the Taihang Mountain, the army set off early in the morning, after entering the Taihang Mountain, around the mountains, from time to time under the guidance of the mountain and forest special forces, over some mountains, until the afternoon, the army barely reached the mountains more than 20 miles west of Maocheng. But it hasn't officially bypassed Maocheng yet.

It can be seen from this that it was only more than ten or twenty miles away from the outside of the mountain to Maocheng, and if you marched directly, it would take only two hours at most, but it would take more than half a day to cross the mountains from the mountains.

Needless to say, the march was hard. This is also an army transferred from Tai Shici's mixed army, and if Zhao Yun's cavalry is allowed to walk into the mountain, it will be even more difficult.

In fact, Tai Shici was originally a mixed army formed after seizing the Shangdang area, and these sergeants had already been trained to march in the mountains, otherwise, ordinary sergeants. After entering the deep mountains, even if they are allowed to cross the mountains and walk twenty or thirty miles of mountain roads. I'm afraid it will take a day.

Zhao Yun took the lead, no. Zhao Yun also walked. Entering the Taihang Mountain, there are some places that you really have to climb up, no matter how good Zhao Yun's war horse is, I am afraid that it is impossible to march in the mountains.

However, Zhao Yun, who was on foot, was still walking flat in the mountains, if he hadn't waited for the follow-up troops to follow, he would have already gone to the front and disappeared.

The general is a general directly under Tai Shici. It's called Sioux City. However, now he had to obey Zhao Yun's orders.

To be able to become a general, in terms of force, it will definitely not be a low-hand, generally, at least to reach the level of a second-rate general, and in terms of strategy, it must not be too bad, at least you must have a certain amount of military experience to be able to be promoted to a general. An army of more than 20,000 people. This, if it is placed in the period around the Yellow Turban Riot of the Han Dynasty, this is definitely a famous figure.

However, Zhao Yun is a little unfamiliar with Sioux City. Even if it has been a while since he changed troops with Tai Shici earlier.

Zhao Yun himself also has a pro-confidant, and eighteen Wu Yong's cronies have been pro-soldiers in recent years. has been following Zhao Yun's birth and death. I don't know if it's imitating Liu Yi's eighteen personal guards at the beginning, now. The generals in the army generally like to carry eighteen warriors by their side.

Other than that. There are also some lieutenant generals, personal generals, division generals, battalion generals, and so on.

These people, except for the basics, who had to supervise the march of the military horses during the march, were basically summoned by Su Cheng, followed behind Zhao Yun, and walked in front of the military column.

Ahead, there is a dangerous road in the valley that seems to suddenly crack, so as not to be discovered by the Yuan army outside the mountain, the army will follow the dangerous road along this valley. According to the scouts in front, at the end of the dangerous road in the valley, it is a dead end, and then the whole army has to climb the cliff, which is dozens of feet high and quite steep.

Zhao Yun stopped at the corner of the mountain entering the valley and carefully observed the deep valley in front of him.

In fact, such a dangerous valley is daunting, if the enemy army knows that its army will pass through these places first, then when their own army has completely entered this rift valley dangerous road, and then they push down the boulder from above, they can block the retreat of their own army, and at the same time, the soldiers in the rift valley will inevitably die without a place to bury.

At the beginning of entering Taihang Mountain and coming over the mountains and mountains, Zhao Yun was not too careful, nor did he feel too much uneasiness. However, I don't know why, now that I'm here, seeing such a terrain, I feel a little chill in my heart. Or, from here, straight out of the mountain pass, it's not far from Maocheng.

The one who went to the front to explore the way was a veteran of the mountain and forest special forces, and he came back to report that in addition to reporting the situation of the Rift Valley Mountain Road in front of him, he also reported that on the top of the Rift Valley cliff, there were very likely Yuan soldiers secretly watching these areas. It's just that he didn't dare to climb up to search, first, he didn't want to expose the target, and second, there were not too many mountain and forest special forces in Zhao Yun's army, and there were several of them, even if they sneaked up, if they ran into Yuan Jun, it would be difficult for them to eliminate Yuan Bing, but they would expose the traces of their own army because of this.

Zhao Yun subconsciously felt that this time the Qiantai march, to bypass Maocheng and attack the cavalry camp behind Maocheng, now here, should be the biggest test for his own army, can sneak over silently, this ambush of Yuan's cavalry, there will be at least eighty percent chance of success, if the traces of his army are exposed now, it is equivalent to losing the meaning of this battle. The intentions of his own army were detected by Yuan Jun, and there was no need to continue advancing.

In fact, there is only one opportunity, and missing this opportunity has aroused Yuan Jun's vigilance, and the next time he thinks about it, he is afraid that it will be even more difficult.

Zhao Yun observed the terrain, and he was relieved, there was no need to think about it, on the top of the cliff in this section of the rift, there was definitely Yuan Bing guarding it. Because, such a shape is dangerous, and it doesn't need to send many men and horses to destroy the enemy army that enters the rift. This natural and wonderful ambush terrain, even if you know that it is impossible to ambush the enemy in these places, you will subconsciously send some soldiers to prepare here, not to mention, even if you don't plan to ambush the enemy here, you must leave men and horses to keep an eye on the guard.

How do you get to guò?

Zhao Yun was thinking about it, but Su Cheng stepped forward and said to Zhao Yun with a smile: "General Zhao, give the order." ”

Zhao Yun was stunned, looking at the generals brought by Su Cheng, a little inexplicable.

"Hehe, General Zilong didn't know anything, when General Ziyi trained us. I once entered the Taihang Mountains to train, um. It's in the Shangdang area. General Ziyi felt that the Taihang Mountains. It's a very good place to fight, but fighting in these terrains is equal to both the enemy and the enemy, and there are advantages and disadvantages for everyone. Back then, we imagined that the enemy was at war with us in the Taihang Mountains. In addition, our various armies are also imaginary enemies to see who can win in these complex and dangerous mountain environments. Later, we all came to a conclusion. That is, in these environments, the strength of the army is actually secondary, and the most important thing is that there is an elite, an elite soldier, can be an enemy of ten people, and even, one person can kill thousands or hundreds of enemies. "Sioux City is a little sè, and it looks like a memory. To Zhao Yundao.

Most of the training methods are different depending on the different types of troops, and each branch of the army fights in different environments. The combat power that has been exerted is completely different. For example, if Zhao Yun's cavalry entered such a dangerous mountainous terrain to fight. I am afraid that its combat power will not be able to exert its combat power to fight on flat ground. In such a terrain, how could the cavalry charge?

Zhao Yun is also well aware of this. So, I don't care about Su Cheng's little smug appearance. What he cared about was whether Sioux City would have a way to get the army to pass through the rift valley quietly.

Therefore, Zhao Yun said humbly: "Okay, if you have a way, just say it quickly, your little thing, there will be a chance for you to brag in the future." Now, I don't want to hear that. ”

"Well, General, that's our experience." Su Cheng continued: "After entering the mountain, Su Mou transferred the most elite soldiers in our army and our generals together, the purpose of which is to open up a passage for our army under such circumstances. ”

"What do you mean to say......" Zhao Yun pointed to the Splitting Desire Mountain Cliff in front of him, and said with some understanding: "Is it our strongest soldier who stole up the cliff and destroyed the Yuan soldiers above?" ”

"That's right!" Su Cheng patted his ass and said: "Our General Ziyi, what I admire the most is General Zilong, saying that you are in charge of the army, leading the army to fight, witty and flexible, and can listen to the words of the generals below, and will definitely not be like ordinary generals, bent on going their own way, self-righteous, and self-serving." ”

", we are all the New Han Army, and the lord has repeatedly asked us to be brave when we fight, and when we are marching, we must be cautious and cautious. Now, our army has arrived here, and in front of us is a dangerous place where our whole army can be buried, if we rashly lead our army in. Once an accident happens, it's not something you and I can afford to lose. Those who follow us are our brothers, and we must be absolutely careful. Here, it is very close to Maocheng outside the mountain, I estimate that even if there is no army of Yuan Jun, there will definitely be Yuan Jun watching these places, and as soon as we enter this rift valley, Yuan Jun will inevitably find out. You say, don't be a sycophant, how are we going to proceed? ”

"Yes! General, this rift, on the top of the cliffs on both sides, it is estimated that the last general will be guarded by Yuan soldiers. However, Yuan Jun's men and horses are estimated not to be too many, not more than a thousand at most. Because of the terrain, Yuan Jun doesn't need to arrange too many people, it is enough for us to drink a pot. Their focus should be on the east of Maocheng. However, in this entire mountainous area, the last general thinks that there must be more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers scattered and hiding in the mountains to guard and block us. Su Chengdao pointed to the rift valley in front of him, as well as some dangerous mountains nearby: "Looking at these mountains, the Yuan soldiers will definitely be relatively scattered, the Yuan soldiers in each place, they are only responsible for their own areas, and it is not too easy for them to echo each other for the Yuan soldiers who are guarding other mountains." Therefore, the last general thinks that we should hide in this mountain range to rest now, and wait until it is almost dark, and the last general and General Zilong, each with 1,200 elite soldiers, will dive to the top of the cliff on both sides of the rift valley and quietly destroy the Yuan soldiers above. Then, taking advantage of the cover of night, our army sneaked through the night. ”

"Oh? Is that okay? It's not easy to walk at night in the mountains, let alone climb cliffs? Zhao Yun said with a little hesitation, you know, the mountain road is rugged, and it is not easy to march during the day.

"General Zilong, don't worry, the last general guarantees that our army will be able to get through Guò safely in the first half of the night, maybe, we will be able to rush to Yuan's cavalry camp in the second half of the night, maybe there will be time for us to rest for a while, and when it is dawn, we can launch a surprise attack on Yuan's cavalry camp."

"Well, that's good, that's it, try to rush to the Yuan army's cavalry camp in the second half of the night, and finally launch an attack at dawn, when the Yuan army is the most relaxed." Zhao Yun thinks this method is good.

After all. If you can't clear the Yuan soldiers on the top of the cliff, your own army will definitely not be able to get through from here.

"General Zilong. It should be noted that at the time of eliminating the Yuan army on the top of the cliff. You can't let Yuan Junfa show the warning, otherwise it will ......"

"If there are not many Yuan Jun on the top of the cliff, Zhao is confident that they will not be able to make a sound."

"Well, we can't act yet, but we can't do it until evening, when it's dark. In the mountains, it should be foggy in the evening. ”

Zhao Yun completely agreed with Su Cheng's plan of action and discussed the details. He gave the order to go down and let the sergeant hide in the mountains and forests for the time being, and wait until it was dark before marching.

Sure enough, although it was still late summer and early autumn, the weather was relatively hot, but in the evening, it became foggy. The temperature is also a little cooler.

Zhao Yun took eighteen personal guards, as well as one or two hundred other elite generals, first using the cover of mountains and forests and mist, and sometimes clinging to the mountain walls under some mountain roads. Quietly approaching the cliffs of the Rift Valley.

For Zhao Yun, climbing such a cliff is naturally pediatric, because. He himself grew up in the Taihang Mountains and studied art in Changshan when he was young. Mt. Changshan is also a steep mountain.

climbed to the top of the cliff without much effort, and it was exactly as Zhao Yun expected. Yuan Jun adopted the method of waiting for the rabbit. There were soldiers lurking here, and some huge rocks had been moved to the edge of the cliff. If there were no enemy troops passing underneath, these stones might have remained on the top of the cliff forever, but if one day, when they were guarding until there were really enemy troops passing underneath, these large stones would have been able to work, and the Yuan soldiers who had been assigned to wait here would have been able to perform miraculous deeds.

However, for the time being, although I saw the situation, I didn't see Yuan Bing, and it was not too easy to find out the hidden Yuan Bing on the top of the cliff that stretched for two or three miles, not to mention, I had to be careful not to let Yuan Bing find out.

The sun had already sunk, and the sky was slowly getting dark. Zhao Yun waited patiently, paying close attention to the situation on the top of the cliff.

After a long time, Zhao Yun heard a faint voice coming, and with a wave of his hand, he led the elite of more than 200 military generals who came up with him to search for them along the voice.

walked about a mile away from the top of the cliff, and in the middle, Zhao Yun silently killed three secret sentinels. Finally, Zhao Yun found a small Yuan army camp in a mountain col on the opposite side of the split, but there were not as many Yuan soldiers as Su Chengru estimated, and it was estimated that there were less than four hundred people.

However, even if it was 400 Yuan soldiers, if they were not destroyed in advance, if their army entered the rift, with their 3 or 400 Yuan soldiers, it would be enough to deal a fatal blow to their own army.

The generals who came with Zhao Yun, at least twenty or thirty of them had the strength of second-rate generals, and after consulting with everyone, they decided to raid this camp.

In the small barracks, there are about 40 tents in total, and each army will bring several elite soldiers to be responsible for one tent, and it is necessary to prevent the Yuan soldiers in the tents from giving warnings. You must know that on the opposite side of this small camp, there is another mountain not far away, and it is difficult to guarantee whether there are still Yuan soldiers guarding the opposite mountain range. In this way, one's entire combat intent may be shattered.

After assigning their respective targets, more than 200 generals and elites of the New Han Army immediately dispersed, and quietly sneaked into the Yuan Bing camp with their own people.

At the camp gate of the Yuan soldiers' barracks, there were two Yuan soldiers standing on both sides.

Of course, they should just put on a show, because, in this barren mountain range, and on this dangerous mountain cliff, it is impossible for the enemy to steal the camp, and the reason why they want to send two soldiers to guard the camp gate may be because they are afraid that a superior general will come to observe, and someone guarding the camp gate can report to the general in the camp in time.

At this time, when they were full of wine and food, the two Yuan soldiers, they were leaning on the wooden stakes on both sides of the camp gate, and they were talking across the camp gate.

It may be a hidden relationship, in this barracks, it seems that you can't light a fire casually, so now that it's dark, the barracks are a little dark, and the Yuan soldiers inside, under the condition of being bored, I'm afraid most of them have fallen asleep. There were also individual tents, and there were voices coming out.

But the gate of the camp was lit with torches, and it was deliberately not too bright. However, even if it is not too bright, if Zhao Yun and the others want to sneak into this Yuan Bing military camp, they must first solve the two gatekeeper Yuan soldiers in front of the camp gate, otherwise, there is no hiding place in the dozens of steps in front of the front camp gate, once someone approaches, they will definitely be able to see it for the first time.

The generals who followed behind Zhao Yun were a little difficult for a while, and they didn't know how to kill those two Yuan soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Yun gently inserted the spear in his hand into the ground, quickly took down the longbow on his back, and didn't see how he took the arrow, with a whoosh, a slight sound, and a white light, flew straight towards the two Yuan soldiers.

The generals of the New Han Army who followed behind Zhao Yun were suddenly startled, and they couldn't stop Zhao Yun yet. Because, in their minds, when the arrow is shot, it will make a sound, and the sound of the arrow may alarm the Yuan soldiers in the camp. In addition, Zhao Yun shot an arrow, and he could only shoot one to death, so it would be strange if the other saw someone being shot and didn't immediately shout a warning.

For a while, the generals who followed behind Zhao Yun couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats all of a sudden. (To be continued......)
