Baihu said this, pointed to the map and said to Gao Jing: "You take the Ninth Army and bypass the Heyang section, and you must rush to Gushan before tomorrow afternoon to participate in the battle." At the same time, Chen Xi of the Seventh Army was warned that he must guard against the enemy of life. I estimate that the life melon has received support from Hexi, and this will become a big problem for my henchmen! ”

Takai immediately replied, "I understand." We must pay attention to it together with General Chen, strictly guard against the enemy of the life melon, and do not let the enemy of the life melon, rush out of the life melon, and come to the danger hài post road. ”

Bai Hu smiled slightly: "You are from the Ketou Army, so I sent you to Gushan." You have two tasks: one is to take over the command of Gushan, do your best to use your own strength, and prevent the Wei army from occupying Gushan; The second is to always pay attention to the retreat of the Zuo chief, although the Zuo chief decided to leave Anyi on the 24th, but you have to send someone to inform the Zuo chief, if necessary, throw down the supplies, the army at the fastest speed, rush to the drum mountain, with two leather chariot troops, to open the post road, the Heyang Wei army down the river! This is the order. ”

After beating his chest and saluting with his head held high, Gao Jing replied loudly: "Yes!" Great General. Job Guarantee to Complete the Mission! ”

The white tiger waved his hand: "You go quickly!" If you arrive early, you have a better chance of winning. ”

After Gao Jing said yes, he turned around and walked out of the Chinese army tent of the white tiger.

After Bai Hu waited for Gao Jing to leave, he smiled at Lieutenant General Zhao Ling: "I didn't expect the Wei army to discover our army's intentions so early, so I had to transfer you to the battlefield." ”

Zhao Ling followed with a smile and said, "General! I was originally a general in the army, should I go to the battlefield? ”

"Huh!" Bai Hu said with a smile: "Because you were injured, you were not assigned to the twenty war armies to train sergeants and counsellors for my military affairs, but now no one can take on the task of supporting Dushan, so I have to let you go." ”

Zhao Ling immediately returned excitedly: "Okay! This is the great general, believe me. I'm too late to be happy! ”

The white tiger said in embarrassment: "As far as the task of opening up Dushan to Gushan is concerned, the army I gave you makes your task too arduous. Because it was three newly formed baggage armies, and they had just transported supplies from Anyi to Fenyin. The training of these three baggage armies is not enough, and you and I know the combat strength! So, can you consider picking up the goods or not taking this task? ”

Zhao Ling has been eager to return to the battlefield since he was wounded, how could he let go of the opportunity in front of him, and immediately held his head high and gave the white tiger a chest-beating military salute, Lang Sheng returned: "General! Zhao Ling promised to complete the task. ”

Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Dushan is less than sixty miles away from Fenyin. Only the Eighth Army won the battle, with a division, plus a division and part of the army escorting supplies, totaling 7,000 people, so it was very difficult to be attacked by nearly 20,000 Wei troops. It's three o'clock in the hour, and you have to arrive in the next three quarters. When you arrive, you will mix the sergeants and officers with battlefield experience with the 30,000 new troops you have brought with you, and strive to launch a counteroffensive tomorrow morning. It's a talisman! ”

After Zhao Ling gave a chest-beating military salute, he took the talisman and said loudly: "General! You can rest assured! Although I don't dare to guarantee the exact time, within four days, with the cooperation of friendly forces in the south, there is no problem in driving the Wei army back to Yang. ”

The white tiger nodded and said with a smile: "The veteran will come out, one on the top two." I believe that. Let's go! ”

After Zhao Ling said yes, he left the military tent.

After the white tiger breathed a sigh of relief, he drank two sips of water before shouting again: "Someone!" ”

Dushan is the collective name of a series of small hills that are eight miles away from the ferry port on the east bank of Heyang. The post road winds around the foot of the mountain in this mountain cluster, about 20 miles. These mountains are not more than 20 zhang high, not dangerous, all are gentle slopes, people climb up very well, there are no big trees on the mountains, all thatched, so the field of vision is broad. It is this kind of terrain that makes these hills the best places to defend, and people can shoot directly at the enemies on the post road with bows and arrows as long as they stand on the hills. Not to mention, because the post road is built along the mountain, so it is not wide, as long as the post road is blocked with heavy objects, you can no longer use the post road.

It was this kind of terrain that Wei Yi and Wei Hu sent heavy troops to take Dushan. They plan to take Dushan as long as they lose the ferry and Drum Mountain, it doesn't matter, anyway, the post road is still in the hands of the Wei army, you can't use it no matter how many soldiers you have, I won't say that it will take half a month, and the main forces of Daliang and Hexi will arrive.

So, as soon as the Wei army crossed the river. Wei Hu sent his most attacking general, Zhang Bao, to lead an army of 10,000 people, 500 leather chariots, 500 light chariots, to attack Dushan.

Zhang Bao was very smooth at the beginning, and swept away the unsuspecting Qin troops along the way from Ganping in one go, but when he arrived at Dushan Pass, he encountered an opponent. The Qin army was not large, about less than 500 people, but it was guarded on the two mountains, and the road was blocked with carts and grain sacks, making it very difficult for the Wei army to attack. Zhang Bao took advantage of the night to attack twice in a row and called a stop. After he came to a place less than fifty steps away from the Qin army's defense and took a look, he said to the captain and deputy captain of his personal guard: "Have you two seen it!" That's right, it's these two mountain packs. The one that lit the fire on the mountain. Well! The two of you, still with five hundred men, touched me in the night! If you don't take the mountain bag, it will be difficult to occupy the intersection. ”

"Yes!" After the two captains responded to the order, they turned around and retreated, selected good people, and set off quietly. Since these two mountains are not large, less than a hundred steps away from the Wei army's forward position, no matter how much they detour, it will not take two quarters of an hour. And Zhang Bao waited for about two quarters of an hour before giving the order to attack. The Qin army on the mountain bag did not expect that the Wei army would be familiar with the road conditions and would touch the mountain from behind, so they focused all their attention on the front and fought fiercely with the Wei army. It's no wonder that the Qin army is not vigilant, but the Qin army has less than 500 people, and it has to defend two hills and a road junction. Just when the Qin army was fighting fiercely with the frontal Wei army, the two captains of the guard, each with five hundred people, touched these two mountains. After going up the mountain, he didn't answer, he slashed with a sword, and stabbed with a sword! The poor mountain was full of archers, a total of less than two hundred, and in less than a few breaths, it was all done with five hundred people to kill a hundred people, and then the Wei army lit a successful fire. lit the fire, did not shout, rushed directly down the mountain, and solved the less than 300 Qin troops on the post road, which were defended by carts and grain bags. The mountain pass fell into the hands of the Wei army in this way.

As soon as Zhang Bao occupied the Dushan Pass, he ordered the attack to continue. The two captains of the guards became full-time sneak attack on the mountain pack.
