Time flies like a white horse, and two months pass in a flash.

The army that went out to Wudu had been assembled half a month ago, and the grain, grass, and equipment needed by the army were also hoarded in the warehouses outside the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were just waiting for Lu Bu to wave his sword, and the army could drive straight into the Wudu Zhizhi to argue.

During this time, Lu Bu spent most of the rest of his time in the barracks training military horses, except for taking two hours to return to his home every day, during which he also visited Pang Shu.

In the entire Han Dynasty, there are not many people who Lu Bu regards as friends, and Pang Shu is counted as one. In the previous life, Lu Bu was defeated in Chang'an, Pang Shu disregarded the danger of his life, and secretly hid Lu Bu's wife and daughter in his mansion, until Lu Bu settled down in Yanzhou, Pang Shu quietly returned Lu Bu's wife and daughter to Lu Bu, and he himself died in the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

In this regard, Lu Bu was both grateful and guilty, so when Pang Shu came to Longxi, Lu Bu gave him a mansion, and also gave Pang Shu a lot of help in business, which can be regarded as making up for the harm caused to him in his previous life.

On the second day of the ninth month, with Lu Bu's order, the army of Bingzhou was divided into four routes, and under the leadership of the generals, they entered the Wudu realm.

The sky is like ink, and the mountains are vast.

The mountains between Hanyang and Wudu stretch for a hundred and ten miles, abrupt and precipitous, although it is not as difficult as Shu Road, but Wudu is located in the Qishan Mountains, and the road is better than Jingshan.

If you go through the "Iron Dragon Valley", this 100-mile-long mountain range is only about a day's foot, but in the mountains without roads, the 10,000 horses led by Wei Yan have been walking for five days, and they still haven't reached the foot of the opposite mountain.

Along the way, there were nearly 100 soldiers who lost their minds because of the rugged and steep mountain roads. As many as 300 people broke their hands and feet.

As the chief general of the three armies, although Wei Yan wanted to win the first merit, he couldn't bear to leave these disabled soldiers in the deep mountains and old forests to fend for themselves, so he selected 300 soldiers with strong physiques from the team and asked them to carry or support or carry or carry, no matter which method was used. The wounded must be taken out of this mountain forest.

On the morning of the eighth day, the majestic mountains finally came to an end.

Looking south in the woods swaying in the wind, Wudu City, which is thirty miles away, can be vaguely seen, as long as you pass through the remaining veins of Tielong Mountain and Wudu City, you can reach Liang Shuang's lair and argue.

"The soldiers worked harder, and when they got down this steep slope, the front was flat, and they walked thirty miles to the east to completely get out of this mountain."

Yan Xing stood on a rock. Pointing to the steep wall under his feet, he shouted loudly to the team behind him.

Wei Yan took off his helmet, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked relieved: "Yanming, your guide did a good job, although there were some tragic losses along the way, and many soldiers were damaged, but at least it saved half a month of time compared to the detour to Wudu." When our troops are in the city. Liang Shuang's soldiers and horses must have been caught off guard and turned into a pot of porridge! ”

"The general's words are really embarrassing to me, the reason why I can walk freely in the mountains. That's because of me and Yue...... He fought against the Qiang people with General Han Sui all the year round, so he was quite familiar with the battle in the mountains and forests. After receiving the praise of the main general, Yan Xing smiled. Xuan even explained the reason why he was familiar with jungle warfare.

Wei Yan didn't care about Yan Xing's pause, nodded and said, "When this battle is over, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the lord!" ”

"Then so-and-so thanked the general first," Yan Xing said, clasping his fists and saluting Wei Yan.

Zhou Tai caught up from behind at this time, due to the hot weather. He had already taken off his armor and was naked/naked, revealing a strong chest muscle, wearing only a pair of pants and soap boots on top and bottom, completely disregarding his personal appearance.

Wei Yan glanced at Zhou Tai, shook his head and sighed: "Youping, as the deputy marshal of the three armies, can you pay attention to your image?" ”

Wei Yan and Zhou Tai have partnered not once or twice, and each time they are impressed by Zhou Tai's casual behavior, from drinking water with a bucket to sleeping and snoring, from using a wooden stick to use a stick to eat, he completely disregards everyone's hygiene, take the last Northern Expedition Han Sui as an example, when he and Gan Ning were arguing in the handsome tent, he casually spit the grape skin on the ground, and he still has the demeanor of a general, he is simply a ruffian.

Zhou Tai had a bold personality, so he naturally did not get annoyed by Wei Yan's words, but laughed loudly: "Since General Wei criticized, a certain person must be taught" After speaking, he took off the two gear armor on his shoulders and put it on his body.

Wei Yan shook his head and said to Yan Xing: "General Youping is like this, Yanming don't mind!" ”

Yan Xinglang said loudly: "In a certain opinion, although General Youping is usually very arrogant, but at a critical moment, he is extremely careful, if he hadn't been stunned by his deception last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been defeated." ”

Zhou Tai grinned: "I love to listen to Yanming's words!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's hurry and try to cross this mountain range before it gets dark" Wei Yan hurriedly waved his hand, ending this overflowing and short conversation.

As the sun set on the western mountain, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the army groped for more than ten miles, Wei Yan stopped Yan Xing in front: "Yanming, you are more familiar with the mountains, after the army arrives at the foot of the mountain, you go to Wudu alone to spy on the military situation and see if Liang Shuang's guard is tight?" After returning to report to me, I will decide again whether to attack at night, or to stay in the mountains and wait for the opportunity, and go and return quickly, without mistake. ”

"The last general commands!"

Yan Xing agreed, and they all led the way in front of him, leading more than 10,000 elite soldiers to climb down the mountain. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, he left the team to rest in the pine forest, and went straight along the trail to Runan to spy on the army.

Wei Yan made an agreement with Huang Zhong when he set out on the expedition, and three days after the elite soldiers who attacked Xia Wei left, Huang Zhong led his troops to attack Mumen to take the river pool, and attracted Liang Shuang's army to the north of Wudu City, so as to ensure that Wei Yan's army could reach Xia Wei smoothly and have a surprise effect.

Wei Yan pinched his fingers and calculated, the hour had almost arrived, and it was estimated that Huang Zhong had led 15,000 people to pass through Shangbang, preparing to sneak attack the Wudu army in the middle of the valley after dark, killing him and throwing away his armor and crushing the army.

Thirty miles south of Wudu. At the foot of the mountains.

The sky was already completely dark, and Wei Yan led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to rest in the pine and cypress at the foot of the mountain for more than two hours, recuperating and recuperating, just waiting for an order to gradually give an order, and they were about to attack like a tiger coming down the mountain.

In the darkness of the night, the sound of horses' hooves sounded. From far and near, it was Yan Xing who went to Wudu to inquire about the news.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he turned over and dismounted, panting and went straight to where Wei Yan was, and returned to his life: "General Qiyu, find out clearly!" ”

Wei Yanzheng, Zhou Tai and a few generals gathered around to look at the topographic map of the mountains and rivers, and when they saw Yan Xing returning, they frowned: "Yanming, where did you win the horses?" Thou gallop in the mountains, and the sound of your hooves is crisp. If the enemy sentry hears it, wouldn't it be a mistake for me? ”

Yan Xingdao: "General, please rest assured, the twenty-three sentry cavalry of the enemy army have been killed by a certain person, and there are no enemy troops waiting here!" Yan Xing immediately arched his hand and said.

After Wei Yan heard this, he looked Yan Xing up and down by the moonlight, only to see that his white armor was stained with a lot of blood, and there were many fewer carved feathers in the quiver, and he said categorically: "Are you sure that the other party only has more than 20 sentinels?" ”

The general scouts are scattered all over the place. If there is no special thing, there is no reason to get together. That's why Wei Yan had to determine whether the news was true or not.

Yan Xing affirmed: "A certain conclusion is true, when I went, they were burning fire and drinking in the valley, and after the last general beheaded them, they also deliberately hid in the dark and observed for more than half an hour, and did not find that there was an enemy sentry after the appearance. Then he rode back. ”

Wei Yan paused, and said in a deep voice: "You went to Wudu to spy this time, have you ever sighed about the military situation?" ”

Yan Xing immediately cheered up: "Back to the general, the soldiers and horses of Wudu suddenly went north, and there were only 2,000 people in the city at this time."

Wei Yan's spirit was shocked. Pointing at Yan Xing, he hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?" ”

If what Yan Xing said is true, he will change his strategy and attack Wudu City at night, although this is not in line with the original plan, but it has the effect of half the effort, and the surprise attack should not have many soldiers and horses, three thousand people are enough.

Yan Xing didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "General Qiyu, the situation is true, not only did a certain person go to the sentinel around Wudu City, but even mixed into the city and walked around, but he was very clear about the deployment of the Wudu Army in the city!" ”

Wei Yan believed that the enemy troops in Wudu City estimated that they had received the battle report from Mumen, so they sent a large army to rush to the aid of the Mumen defenders, and there was no doubt that there were few soldiers in the city.

Zhou Tai frowned, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we can follow the strategy of the military advisor to besiege and argue!" ”

"No" Wei Yan immediately stretched out his hand to object, and then smashed his fist on the table: "Fight Wudu!" ”

When the surrounding generals heard this, they were shocked, the purpose of their trip was to attack him by surprise, and to besiege and argue, why Wei Yan temporarily changed his attention, and it was good to seize Wudu, but it had violated Jia Xu's original intention, this was disobedience.

Wei Yan grinned: "I mean, divide the troops into two ways, one way to capture Wudu, and one way to besiege and debate"

Zhou Tai frowned, and said worriedly: "Wen Chang, although this plan is good, but ......" Temporary Jia Xu had already told them that they must act according to the plan and not mess up the overall plan.

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "Outside, the military order is not subject to it, for the generals, when the battlefield changes and look at the seizure, at this time the fighter has arrived, we can't help but catch it, the reason why they transferred the army to the north is because General Huang Zhong attacked Mumen, they went to help, as long as they captured the city of Wudu, this enemy army will become a turtle in the urn, have you ever realized that there is General Gao Shun in the west, General Huang Zhong in the north, and the army of the lord in the east, as long as we cut off their retreat, this army will not escape!" ”

Wei Yan's idea is not bold, at this time they have gone deep into the hinterland of Wudu, if they can't capture Wudu in time, when the enemy army comes to their senses, what awaits them will be destruction, if the capture of Wudu is successful, this will be a great achievement.

Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, damn it, fuck it."

Seeing that Zhou Tai opened his mouth to agree, Wei Yan turned his eyes to Yan Xing and several partial generals, everyone thought for a while, and then said in unison: "We listen to the general!" ”

"Good!" Wei Yan made a big move to gather the generals together, and then whispered earnestly: "We only need to ......" (to be continued......
