Chapter 1189: Disguise
At dawn, the Wu army had already rushed on the sheep intestine trail leading to Yuyuan Pass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why Yuyuan Pass is called Yuyuan Pass is that the bend here is tortuous, and it is not far from Guancheng, but often all the way, it is a mountain and a heavy water, and it will be returned, which can be described as a dead horse running from the mountain. The road of Yuyuan Pass is extremely narrow, and many places can only accommodate three or two horses in parallel, and the terrain is bumpy and uneven, and it is difficult to walk.
Such terrain was nothing to the Han army, which was accustomed to mountain warfare, but for the Jiangdong soldiers who traveled by boat, it was miserable.
In this regard, Sun Xiu was also more helpless, indeed, mountain combat and marching were not what Wu Jun was good at, and if they went to Yuyuan Pass, it would undoubtedly be a bumpy road for them.
However, since this road has been chosen, there is no way to retreat, and only by taking the Yuyuan Pass can the Wu army gain the initiative in the overall situation.
Looking at the time, Sun Xiu was thinking that Jiang Bin must have led the army to fight at this time, and Wu Yan stayed in the camp to avoid the war, I don't know if I can hide it from Jiang Bin? If Jiang Bin launched an attack, would Wuyan, who only had 10,000 men, be able to resist the attack of the Han army?
Sun Xiu's only hope now is that Wu Yan can hold Jiang Bin back and provide him with a little time to attack Yuyuan Pass, otherwise, once Jiang Bin's army comes back to help, the Wu people will simply fall into the net with such a steep terrain in this area.
But in Luyang's situation, Sun Xiu's eyes were dark, and he couldn't know whether Wu Yan had been able to block the attack of the Han army, and whether Jiang Bin had seen through his plan to get rid of the golden cicada, but no matter what, Sun Xiu must continue to move forward, and everything is focused on taking the Yuyuan Pass.
According to the information obtained in advance, Jiang Bin attacked, took away about half of the men and horses in the Luonan area, and the rest of the men and horses, scattered in the three important passes of Yuyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Guangcheng Pass, and there are some other dangers, that is to say, there are not many defenders in Guangyuan Pass, and Sun Xiu came to attack with 40,000 people this time, and he has an absolute advantage in terms of troops.
But attacking the pass, most of the time can not say who has the advantage of the force who can win, such a dangerous point, although it can not reach the standard of one man as a pass, ten thousand people can not open, but the Xiongguan tiger distance, even if there are not many defenders, it is by no means possible that the Wu army can easily overcome.
Sun Xiu thought of this problem as early as when he planned to sneak attack Yuyuan Pass, and their biggest reliance now is to win by surprise, that is to say, whether they can win Yuyuan Pass is completely based on the complete unpreparedness of the Han army.
Such tactics are undoubtedly a bit risky, but Sun Xiu firmly believes that now that Jiang Bin, the main general of the Han army, is on the march, it is impossible for the Wu army to break through Jiang Bin's defense and directly attack the Yuyuan Pass, perhaps when they arrive at the Yuanyuan Pass, the Han army defending the city is sleeping peacefully.
Of course, in order to ensure the success rate of the sneak attack, Sun Xiu still sent Chen Guo to lead some men and horses to change into the costumes of the Han army, under the banner of the Han army, disguised and disguised, and walked at the forefront of the army.
Sun Xiu chose Chen Guo to change his disguise because Chen Guo was from Jingzhou, and some of the Wu soldiers selected were also from Jingzhou, you must know that the soldiers born in Jingxiang still account for a considerable proportion of the Han army, even if the current soldiers were born in Yizhou Shudi, but their ancestors and fathers are still Jingxiang people, and it is not easy to be recognized by using Jingzhou soldiers to pretend to be Han soldiers.
Chen Guo is a native of Xiling, Jingzhou, who speaks Jingzhou fluently, pretending to be Jiang Bin's subordinate, and leading people to go directly to Yuyuan Pass.
rushed to the bottom of the city, but the situation here was very different from what Sun Xiu imagined, the city gate was closed, there were many guards, and the security was extremely strict, and there was no such thing as peace of mind and the city gate was open.
Chen Guo chuckled in his heart, obviously, after Jiang Bin left, the defense of Yuyuan Pass was not relaxed because of this, but was heavily guarded, if he hadn't changed into the banner and clothes of the Han army, I am afraid that it would have been the bow and arrow of the Han army that greeted him at this time.
The sentry in the city looked at a group of men and horses that appeared in the city, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is it? Whoever comes is the same name! β
Chen Guo said that he was the Sima of a battalion under Jiang Bin according to the pre-arrangement, anyway, Jiang Bin had tens of thousands of people under his command, and it was impossible for these sentries to know them one by one, and it was very easy to be confused by this pass. What's more, Chen Guo is only pretending to be a middle-level military attachΓ©, and he is not a general or captain, looking at the army of more than 100,000 people, these middle-level officers are as many as cattle hairs, and they are inconspicuous.
Of course, this position can't be too low, if it's too low, Chen Guo will not be qualified to lead the people of this department.
Sure enough, the sentinels defending the city were not suspicious of Chen Guo's identity, and the uniform uniforms and military flags of these Han troops confused the sentinels' eyes, and the sentinels only continued to inquire about Chen Guo's intentions.
Chen Guo smiled and said: "General Hou won the battle in Luyang, and he has returned triumphantly, and our men and horses are fighting in the front. β
The soldiers in the city said in surprise: "The general only set out the day before yesterday, and he came back from winning the battle so quickly?" β
Chen Guo pretended to be very casual, and said: "Of course, those Wu people are simply vulnerable, and the general personally beheaded that Sun Xiu, captured 10,000 enemies, and the rest broke away, this battle was really painful." β
The Han soldiers in the city were unprepared, and were about to open the city gate to let Chen Guo in, but they heard someone say in a deep voice: "Slow, what is the situation outside the city." β
The soldiers defending the city immediately reported: "General Qiqi Wang, General Hou has won the battle in Luyang, and returned to the division in triumph, and outside the city are the men and horses who are fighting the outpost." β
The person who came was the Pingdong general Wang She, after listening to the soldier's report, he couldn't help but be suspicious, from Jiang Bin's expedition to the present, it was only three days, and it was already a victory and returned, this process is too fast, even if the Wu army is vulnerable, it can't be so fast.
He climbed the city tower and said to Chen Guo, "Where is General Hou now?" β
Chen Guo said: "General Hou has led his troops back, and there is still half a day's journey from Yuyuan Pass. β
Chen Guo was very calm when he said this, and Wang She couldn't see any clues, and said: "Listen to your accent, you are also from Jingxiang, I don't know where your ancestral home is?" Wang She is a native of Dangyang, Jingzhou, and Chen Guo's accent is the same, and the proportion of Jingxiang people in the Han army is not low, so Wang She has this question.
