Hearing Meng Ding come in and say that he had found a shortcut to Chaoyang Valley, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun were overjoyed and stood up suddenly. ◎ Smart kids remember super fast hand play update *
"How? Have you figured out the situation in Chaoyang Mountain? Gongsun Chan couldn't wait to ask.
Meng Ding clasped his fists and saluted, and then said, "It should be said that I found a way to defeat the thief army in Chaoyang Valley." ”
"Let's talk about the situation in Chaoyang Mountain first." Zhao Yundao.
"Okay." Meng Ding Gong said: "Chaoyang Mountain is a big mountain that protrudes out of the mountainous area at the forefront of entering the hinterland of Montenegro. If we want to attack Montenegro, in fact, we don't need to attack the thief army in Chaoyang Mountain, we can completely bypass Chaoyang Mountain, enter the hinterland of Montenegro from other mountain roads, and join the main gong. ”
This Zhao Yun also knew for a long time, but there were many thieves in Chaoyang Mountain, and it was impossible to ignore these thieves and go deep into the Black Mountain region regardless of the past. Gongsun Zan was also worried that after his army bypassed, the thieves in Chaoyang Valley would come from behind.
In fact, Chaoyang Valley is not a canyon that can be walked through, it can only be regarded as a copycat stronghold of the Black Mountain Bandits.
The topography of Chaoyang Valley is in a depression into the col, and the bandits built an earthen wall at the mouth of the valley, which has become a natural cottage stronghold, where soldiers can be stationed in peacetime.
The bandits occupy this Chaoyang Valley, which is also convenient for them to go out and loot, so to speak, this Chaoyang Valley is a transit station that the Black Mountain thieves have always come to.
"Chaoyang Valley is actually a Jedi." Meng Ding said: "Although the valley is a bit big, except for the valley mouth, there is no mountain road in it to leave the valley. I and my men dived up to the mountain to see that the valley was surrounded on three sides by quite steep rock walls, and although they were not impossible to climb, there were only five or six places where they were relatively easy to climb. They had bandits guarding the easy places to climb in the mountains. As long as we clear the thieves on the mountain, as long as we block the mouth of the valley, then the thieves in the valley will be equivalent to a turtle in the urn, a dead end. ”
"Good! This time, I see that those thieves are still arrogant! Gongsun Zhan's expression widened, and he said with his hands in high gear.
Blocked here in recent days. Let him feel depressed, knowing the true situation of the thief soldiers, he is not ready to make a big fight?
He had always had a letter with Liu Yi and Yuan Shao, and Liu Yi defeated Montenegro's 100,000 army with only 20,000 troops. A few days ago, he also defeated a bandit army of tens of thousands of people. All the way to the place where it was only twenty miles away from the main peak of Montenegro. Similarly, Yuan Shao also had good news, attacking and killing all the way, destroying countless bandit cottages, but his Gongsun Zhan did not make much achievements, and there were not many black mountain thieves who were really eliminated. * This army of 70,000 or 80,000 thieves, as long as it is cleaned up, can also raise the prestige of his Gongsun Zhan.
However, his Gongsun Zhan's current army is actually only 50,000 military horses, plus Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalry, it is only 60,000 horses, which is less than the strength of the thief soldiers. Moreover. Zhao Yun is a cavalry, and he also has more than 20,000 soldiers who are cavalry without war horses, and he has to clean up these treacherous 70,000 or 80,000 thieves. Gongsun Chan is still a little worried.
He was excited for a moment, then calmed down and said, "But the thieves are guarding with the high wall in front of the valley, and Chaoyang Valley is a Jedi, so it's useless if we can't kill it." ”
"Hehe...... Meng Ding laughed gloomily, but closed his mouth and peeked at Gongsun Zhan and Zhao Yun with his eyes.
Zhao Yun and Meng Ke and Meng Ding brothers have spent a lot of time, the age difference between Meng Ding and Zhao Yun is not much, but Meng Ding is much more lively than Zhao Yun, and he usually likes to play tricks on people. Quirky. Therefore, as soon as he saw Meng Ding's expression, Zhao Yun knew that this guy would definitely have some hurtful ideas.
Zhao Yun glared at Meng Ding angrily, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Gongsun Taishou, you don't need to use your brain, didn't Meng Ding, this kid say that he has found a way to defeat the Black Mountain thief?" ”
"Huh? Right, right. Little Brother Mengding, hurry! Tell me how we can defeat the thieves in the valley. Although Gongsun Chan admired Zhao Yun very much, he didn't dare to underestimate Meng Ding, he acted with Meng Ding, and had already seen Meng Ding's ability to fight in the mountains and forests, and Meng Ding's combat methods opened the eyes of Gongsun Zhan, who only paid attention to cavalry combat, so he hurriedly asked Meng Ding humbly.
"Hey...... We were able to defeat this bandit without much effort, and we probably captured them all. ”
"Oh? Little brother Mengding, don't sell it, please say, what are we going to do? ”
"The Valley Jedi, as long as we clear the mountains around the valley of the thieves and occupy the cliffs on three sides of the valley, then we can attack with fire. Light a firewood on the mountain and throw it down,......" Meng Ding said with a wink.
"Fire attack? Wonderful! When Gongsun Chan heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Tell me how." Zhao Yun interjected: "Although there are cliffs on three sides of the valley, it is not impossible to throw lit firewood from the mountain, but the valley is so big, throwing firewood may not be able to burn the thieves, in this case, it is better to directly throw a big stone and wood to kill the thief." Besides, it's April, the forest is green, it's not easy to ignite, and there is a lot of rain, maybe it will rain again in a while, and this fire attack also depends on the climate. ”
"General Zhao, we have long thought of saying that it is a fire attack, but it is actually a smoke attack. We reconnoitred in the mountains and found that when the thieves in the valley made fires and made food, the smoke was so thick that it seemed difficult to dissipate, and it may be a problem of lack of ventilation. We heard that the lord got some black oil from the giant deer, and he doesn't need anything, just the black oil can make a fire......" Meng Ding said a little proudly.
"The black oil is in Dazepo, and it will take several days to transport it now." Zhao Yun frowned and said.
"Black oil can light a fire, but ordinary grease can also do it. Besides, we don't really attack fire, even if it's wet firewood, as long as it's drizzled with ordinary grease, it can still be ignited, and it will produce a foul smell, and when the time comes, get more of this firewood, and throw it into the valley one by one, and don't you smoke those thieves to the point that they can't stand it? As long as we keep making the pungent and unpleasant smoke, until the thieves in the valley surrender, hehe, seventy or eighty thousand thieves, trapped in the valley, there is no way to escape, there is no escape, if we don't surrender, we will only be killed alive, except to surrender, what else can they do? Meng Ding smiled evilly.
"Yes, in this case, it may really be feasible, count you as a clever kid, and I will give you a credit to the lord in the future." Zhao Yun listened. I think Mengding's method should work.
"Haha, that's great." Gongsun Zhan really laughed, and at the same time said as if he was a little jealous: "Liu Yi is really enviable, how can he have talents like Zilong and the Meng Ding brothers who can fight?" Alas. If I can have a wise man like you, why should I worry about not being able to achieve great things? ”
"Hehe, a little trick, don't worry about it, ordinary people can think of it, Gongsun Taishou is under the account, Tian Kai, Guan Jing and other generals. They are also resourceful generals. Zhao Yun smiled and praised several generals known to Gongsun Zhan.
"Haha, Zilong, you don't have to be modest. It's all because Brother Meng Ding has this plan, so let's act according to the plan, I don't know how many thieves there are on the mountain? After Gongsun Chan finished speaking, he asked Meng Ding again.
"There were not many thieves on the mountain, about a few thousand men, but they were all defended by the dangerous terrain. When we go up the hill to attack them, it's best to sneak up on them suddenly. ”
"Okay, then we'll pick out 10,000 elite soldiers right now. The soldiers went up the mountain in several ways, and it was estimated that they would be able to touch them after dark, and this time, I personally led the army to sneak attack. Gongsun Chan immediately said.
"General Gongsun, general, you still stay here to preside over the overall situation, block the valley mouth, beware of the thick smoke in the valley, the thieves can't stand it and want to escape from the valley, the general only needs to hold the valley, and the thieves come out one by one to catch one. Let's catch a pair of two. Tens of thousands of thieves were completely annihilated and captured, I'm afraid my lord won't be able to do it, general, congratulations. Zhao Yun also understood a little in his heart, Gongsun Zhan was a little envious of Liu Yi's many capable men, and he also understood that he vaguely wanted to recruit himself. Therefore, Zhao Yun also wanted to take care of Gongsun Zhan's affection more, and try his best not to be wary of Liu Yi, at least, during the attack on Montenegro, he could not let Gongsun Chan have some different thoughts about Liu Yi. As for what will happen in the future, whether he is an enemy or a friend with Gongsun Zhan, then we can only talk about it in the future.
"Attacking the thieves on the mountain, let me go with Meng Ding." Zhao Yundao.
"So...... All right. Gongsun Chan also knew that his sergeants were not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, so after thinking about it, he had no choice but to do so.
"General Gongsun, you just wait for the good news, tonight we will be able to take down the thieves on the mountain, control the cliffs on three sides of Chaoyang Valley, early tomorrow morning, we will start the smoke attack, now, please also ask the general, collect all the grease used to ignite in the army, if it is not enough, hurry up and find a way to get more, grease and pine resin can be."
"Okay, I'll order someone to prepare immediately, Zilong be careful."
……
Zhao Yun and Meng Ding left the Gongsun Zhan tent and returned to the headquarters barracks.
"Is it really okay to smoke off?" Zhao Yun asked the deputy general to start assembling some troops, dividing the 10,000 military horses into several roads, and Meng Ding's mountain and forest special warfare sergeant led the way, however, Zhao Yun was still a little cautious and asked Meng Ding again: "I see that Chaoyang Valley is very open, but I am afraid that the smoke attack will have no effect, and a lot of materials will be wasted." ”
"I think it's okay, besides, even if it doesn't work, it's smoked, how much combat power can those thieves have? It really can't be done, we can defeat the defeated soldiers in the valley if we attack the valley directly. Meng Ding said optimistically.
Zhao Yun thought about it and felt that it was the same reason, if the smoke attack was not good, then the strong attack would also capture this Chaoyang Valley.
Zhao Yun is used to being cautious, so he will not fight uncertain battles. But no matter what, to capture this Chaoyang Valley, the thieves on the mountain really have to be cleared, if the smoke attack works, then there is no need to storm it, and there is no need to attack the soldiers who have suffered too many casualties in the attack on the earth and stone wall. At present, there is no decisive battle with the main force of Montenegro, and we must preserve our strength as much as possible, and we can't lose too many troops early.
There are tens of thousands of thieves in Chaoyang Valley, more troops than their own army, the valley is absolute, they are bound to fight to the death, to be honest, it is really not easy to storm the earth and stone wall in front of Chaoyang Valley, even if it can be finally captured, there will be many casualties, there is no need.
Zhao Yun would rather bypass here and adopt the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, and it is better for the thieves in his valley to lead out to attack than to attack.
As he spoke, the 10,000 troops and horses of Zhao Yun's headquarters had already assembled, and every 2,000 people went all the way.
There was nothing to say, but Gongsun Zhan sent a sergeant to send some grease materials, and the soldiers brought them, gave an order, and marched separately.
Zhao Yun, under the guidance of a special operations sergeant in the mountains and forests, bypassed the mouth of Chaoyang Valley, avoided the eyes and ears of the thieves in Chaoyang Valley, and got into a dense forest.
In fact, there will be a rain from time to time in recent days, but it has already passed the spring of March, and even if there is rain, it will only be the next time, and the heavy rain will pass, and it will not be rainy all day.
But even so, the mountains and forests are still quite wet, and the sunlight overhead does not completely evaporate the water vapor in the forest, but it seems more humid, and when Zhao Yun and the others arrived at the side of the mountain, everyone on the sergeant's body was soaked.
Walking through the mountains and forests and climbing the mountains is indeed very tiring, and there is no road, and the sergeant can't be like the mountain and forest special warfare sergeant who led the way, he can walk through the dense forest freely, so Zhao Yun asked a few powerful sergeants to open the road in front of him with a firewood knife, split some thorns blocking the road along the way, and cut out a forest road through it.
The crackling sound of chopping, the creaking of sergeants' marching footsteps, and the startled birds and beasts of the mountains.
These, the movement is still quite big. In this way, it is very likely that the thieves on Chaoyang Mountain have been alarmed, but there is no way, if you really want to sneak to the location of the thieves, unless everyone can walk freely in the mountains and forests like those special combat soldiers in the mountains and forests, otherwise, it is impossible to sneak to the thieves in complete secret.
However, Zhao Yun didn't have too many scruples, because, deep in the mountains and dense forests, he believed that those thieves were just as difficult to pass through, and it was impossible for them to search all over the mountain, even if they knew that there might be officers and soldiers killing up the mountain, they didn't dare to come to fight, at most, they were guarding their passes, keeping an eye on the surroundings where they were, and strictly preventing the sneak attack of officers and soldiers.
Therefore, when it is said to be a sneak attack, it is actually a strong attack.
The thieves on the mountain, according to the intelligence reconnoitred by Meng Ding, they should all climb to the mountain from the mountain wall in Chaoyang Valley, not from other mountains in Chaoyang Mountain, so they don't have to worry about encountering the traps set by the thieves along the way, they only need to break through the dense forest and go up to the mountain to win.
Zhao Yun believed that in a frontal attack, the thieves on the mountain would definitely not be the opponent of his own sergeant.
In the morning, I fought a battle, killed a thief, and then Zhao Yun sent troops, in fact, it didn't take long, it was still morning. In other words, Zhao Yun and the other sergeants marched in the morning, but when Zhao Yun finally led the army to climb a mountain range not far from Chaoyang Valley, it turned out that the sun was setting westward.
It can be seen that it took three or four hours just to go up the mountain. (To be continued.) )
