In order to prevent a sneak attack along the way, a small number of cavalry opened the way in front of the road, and the infantry guarded the main camp of the Chinese army, with 5,000 long-range crossbowmen at the end, and then a convoy of grain and grass baggage.

"In front is the Lianheng Mountain Range, the main peak of the Cockscomb Peak is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the peak is unusually flat, it is an excellent place to garrison, and the field of vision is very wide, you can overlook the movement of the entire Bauhinia Pass.

The art of war is cloudy, when encountering water, build a camp in the mountain, pass the order to go down, immediately cut down trees, and set up camp on the main peak. ”

After inspecting the east fence and thinking about it, it was finally decided to place the main camp in the cockscomb peak.

Except for the main peak of the cockscomb, the rest of the place is a plain, and the view is blocked by the mountain, which is easy to be ambushed.

"The commander of the East Fence, by all means, although the Rooster Crown Peak is the highest peak of the Lianheng Mountain Range, it is not connected with other peaks, once it is besieged by the rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Several lieutenant generals raised their own questions, and they were all veterans who followed Commander Qin Lan to fight in all directions.

It is the beginning of spring, the ice and snow have just melted, everything is still in the embryonic stage of recovery, and there is no sufficient source of food in the Lianheng Mountains.

A few trails down the mountain, once occupied by the rebels, the 30,000-strong army could only be trapped and killed at the top.

"Are you questioning me?"

Dong Li's face was solemn, he frowned slightly, and sneered: "I have been reading the art of war since I was a child, and I have been immersed in studying various wars all day long, and I have long been able to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and I am not afraid of the Yanzhou rebels.

Our Black Feather military camp carries 15 days of grain and grass, and according to Commander Qin Lan, there is no grain in the Bauhinia Pass, and the Qilian Snow Mountain in Yanzhou is steep and precipitous, and it will take at least three or four months for the new grain to reach the pass. ”

"This ......" several lieutenant generals, hesitating.

Dongli's decision has a certain basis, and it is not easy to veto, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the veterans are also considering potential crises.

Even if the probability of an accident is less than one percent, it is enough to make them encounter the danger of total annihilation.

"Even if we are surrounded, we can still ask Yongguan for help, relying on the dangerous terrain of the main peak, waiting for the help of Commander Qin Lan, with the current food of the rebels, they can't afford to consume. "Higashiri is full of confidence.

"In this way, the ministers will lead two thousand foot soldiers to guard the side peak, and they will form a corner with you. ”

"I said you veterans, you are really afraid to do things, forget it, do it, I will give you five thousand weak brigades, you can do whatever you like, but you are not allowed to rob me of my credit. ”

Dongli deliberately took away the group of veterans under Qin Lan's account, and replaced the generals in the main camp with obedient cronies.

Then he ordered people to cut down all the trees on the top of the peak, and set up the main camp on the most conspicuous peak, and the white tents stretched for several miles, even at the foot of the far mountain, the scenery of the main camp could be clearly seen.

Fortifications were then built around the mountainside and light and dark sentinels were installed.

Ensure that the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended.

"The army repaired in place for two days, and the day after tomorrow at dawn launched a general attack on the Bauhinia Pass on time, and before nightfall, Ben would have hoped to have dinner in the pass. ”

After the camp was determined, the soldiers set up pots and stoves on the spot, lit a fire to cook, and the smoke rose from the stove, surrounding the sky above the cockscomb peak.

On the other side, he pretended to be the secret sentry of Orion and reported the situation here to Jiang Feng in the Bauhinia Pass.

"Build a camp on the top of the mountain, Cockscomb Peak is a dead peak......"

Looking at this wave of operations in Dongli, Jiang Feng's mind suddenly thought of a historical story, Zhuge Liang slashed the horse with tears.

The way of camping in the east fence is exactly the same as that of Ma Tan who guarded the street pavilion back then, and tens of thousands of troops were placed in the lonely main peak of the cockscomb, and they were stunned to put themselves in a dilemma.

"Nangong Dongli, since he was a child, studied the art of war in the Taishi Mansion, and is quite accomplished in tactics, but he has only a handful of opportunities to lead the army, although he has a record of complete victory, but those battles are all won by the number of people and weapons. ”

"In that case, let me break his all-win streak. ”

Jiang Feng focused his gaze on the map, glanced up at Chu He, and said, "Dongli has just arrived at Rooster Crown Peak, and he hasn't yet gained a firm foothold, so I think the success rate of a surprise attack at night is very high. ”

"Then Your Highness, how do you plan to fight this battle? Although the main peak of the cockscomb is a dead peak, it has a wide field of vision, if you send troops outside the Bauhinia Pass, it will definitely be detected by the East Fence, and the surprise attack will have a certain degree of difficulty. ”

As for how to fight? Chu He didn't care.

With the current strength of the Yanzhou Tiger Army, both in terms of equipment and numbers, they can crush the Black Feather Army, as long as Jiang Feng is willing, he can destroy the army of the Eastern Fence in minutes.

The reason why various tactics are also considered is to minimize losses and destroy the opponent with minimal losses without exposing the real combat power as much as possible.

"Between Yongguan and Jiguan Peak, there is a large hilly area, you personally go over the Chu River, and plant a mine array there to hinder Qin Lan's reinforcements, as long as it can be delayed for a few hours, it is enough.

In addition, I will transfer you 8,000 Suojiao light cavalry and 2,000 dragon Qiang arrow arrays to guard in the rainforest outside Yongguan, once Qin Lan pours out of the nest to help the east fence, you will lead the army to take advantage of the weakness to enter and capture Yongguan. ”

Yongguan is only eighty miles away from Jiguan Peak, and the iron cavalry can reach the battlefield in one hour at the earliest.

But according to the current situation, the East Fence expedition to Bauhinia Pass has taken away 30,000 elites, and the Yongguan defenders are already less than 50,000, and the number of elites is even more limited, and Commander Qin Lan will most likely not rush to the aid of East Fence.

Because of the rush to the aid of Rooster Crown, Yongguan has become an empty city.

Even so, Jiang Feng still made a perfect plan in advance to respond to all changes.

"The tens of thousands of Black Feather Army of Cockscomb Peak are handed over to me, and I just wanted this opportunity to meet the eldest cousin of Dongli. ”

Jiang Feng closed his eyes and waited for darkness.

After the sun completely set, the night gradually fell, and the surroundings were pitch black, and the shield soldiers of the Jiuli tribe went out of the city overnight and occupied several sheep intestine trails leading to the bottom of the mountain from Jiguan Peak as fast as possible.

Then the flags of the various tribes of Yanzhou were planted in the most conspicuous position at the foot of the mountain, so that the garrison at the top of the peak could see the scene of the flags fluttering below.

The thick shield array is as solid as a city wall, which can effectively block the view, and behind it lies an ambush of howitzer arrays, and behind it is full of Yanzhou banners, the size of a hundred thousand troops.

"Wait for another two hours, if Qin Lan doesn't send troops to help Jiguan Peak, then cover the main peak with an artillery array, and then press forward with a shield array to harvest the battlefield. ”

Jiang Feng and Xiang Yu came to the foot of the Rooster Peak in person, and Xu Chu stayed behind at the Bauhinia Pass.

The camp at the top of the Cockscomb Peak is four or five hundred meters higher than the foot of the mountain, which has exceeded the effective killing range of the Longqiang Wind Arrow, and can only mobilize the howitzer battalion, and the flat peak can fully exert the maximum power of the artillery array.
