After Guo Yan, who was suspicious, saw Gao Shun so cautious, he couldn't help but sneer: "General Gao, you are so careful, are you too cautious?" According to Mr. Li's speculation, the number of Baiyun City's troops following behind is only two or three hundred thousand at most, even if every soldier on the other side is a battle-hardened soldier, but we are not weak, not to mention, we have a total of 600,000 troops under our leadership, even if we are facing head-on, we are not afraid of him! ”
Gao Shun didn't have much expression on his face, and he didn't explain much, he was not a person of many words, he just said: "The army of Baiyun City should not be underestimated at any time, if Lord Guo takes it lightly, I am afraid that it will only be us who will regret it at that time." ”
Guo Yan was obviously a little dissatisfied with Gao Shun's attitude, and after snorting lightly, he didn't say anything, but the meaning expressed in that expression was very obvious, that is, let's see!
Gao Shun ignored Guo Yan's thoughts, and only cared about leading the army to follow behind the army, and sent scouts and cavalry from time to time to reconnoiter the surrounding terrain.
After walking for nearly two hours, Guo Yan pointed to a narrow area in front of the right and said: "Gao Shun, look ahead, there is a mountain on the south side, and the Yellow River is a kilometer away on the north side. However, if General Gao, your strength is not good, and let the sunshine slip away from your side, it is your responsibility alone. ”
Gao Shun frowned, not because of Guo Yan's words of shirking responsibility, but because of him: "I don't think this is suitable for ambushing the Sunshine Army, although the method you said can indeed surround the Baiyun City army in the middle, and with the strength of our respective 300,000 troops, we can indeed seal the passage at both ends." But don't forget the heavy cavalry of White Cloud City, which is composed of ironclad rhinos. The area is almost 20 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, and most importantly it is flat. Just right for the heavy cavalry charge, Lord Guo, do you think your army can hold back the iron hooves of the 100,000 heavy cavalry in Baiyun City? ”
Guo Yan and Dong Zhuo participated in the Xiliang rebellion, although he had never seen the heavy cavalry under the command of the sunshine, but he had also heard of it, and the reason why he didn't expect this before was because he did not find any trace of this army in the army led by Yang Tian, whether it was in Bishui Pass or Tiger Prison Pass. None of the horrible heavy cavalry showed up, so he felt that Sunshine should not have sent this army.
Therefore, after listening to Gao Shun's words, Guo Yan did not agree very much, and said: "Gao Shun, you are too worried, right?" This Baiyun City army attacked outside Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass for nearly a month. We have never seen that heavy cavalry, and even after they entered the Luoyang Territory through Guò Tiger Pass, our scouts have never found that the other side has heavy cavalry. It is very likely that the other side did not bring heavy cavalry to participate in this battle at all. Moreover, do you think the other side will send heavy cavalry to do this to take in refugees? ”
Gao Shun said: "What you said is only possible, but what if Sunshine brings his Blue Dragon Legion with him?" Could it be that Lord Guo intends to tie the fate of the Taishi to your inference? You must know that the Iron Rhinoceros of the Blue Dragon Legion's mount is not a mount in the real sense, it is also a pet, and it can be included in the pet space. In normal times, how can you see these ironclad rhinos? Or do you think the sun will involve these heavy cavalry on ironclad rhinos in siege warfare? ”
Guo Yan was speechless for a moment, in fact, with Guo Yan's ability, he could also think of these truths. It's just that now he is carried away by the atmosphere and jealousy, so that he not only failed to ridicule Gao Shun now, but touched his nose with ashes.
Gao Shun is not a person who can be ignored and unforgiving, and seeing that Guo Yan no longer speaks. He didn't say anything more and continued to follow the main army.
In the process. There are still people left behind, and they don't know if Sunshine will continue to send troops to follow behind to take in these people, but even if someone follows, they will not take action for the time being. Because Dong Zhuo gave an order, they must bring Sunshine's head back, if they act rashly and scare Sunshine away, they will not only have no merit at that time, but will also be punished.
After another sixty or seventy kilometers like this, Gao Shun suddenly stopped, pointed to a hilly area in front of him and asked Guo Yan, "Lord Guo, what do you think of the terrain ahead?" ”
Guo Yan frowned and looked forward, and found that the place Gao Shun pointed to was the place where the large army passed, which belonged to the shallow hill terrain, of course, this does not matter, the key is that in addition to the official road, all around here are covered with tall trees, and because of the terrain, the official road is winding and circling, and the heavy cavalry is in this place, and it is completely impossible to give full play to their charging advantages.
If that's all there is, Guo Yan might have retorted to Gao Shun, but on the west side of the shallow hill, a river flows into the Yellow River from south to north, making the shallow hill a peninsula jutting out into the water, surrounded by water on three sides, and the only westward access is only a bridge.
In "Under Heaven", this kind of bridge in the wilderness is automatically generated by the system, although it cannot be said that it cannot be broken, but it is definitely difficult. This is not because the bridge has a system of special protection, but because the quality of the materials used to build the bridge itself is very high, and the lowest is about four or five grades of stone, which is absolutely impossible to break by conventional means.
If this bridge can be broken, maybe Dong Zhuo won't have such a headache as he does now, because as long as he waits for his army to pass the bridge and send someone to break the bridge, even if there are tens of millions of troops behind, if there are not enough boats, he can only stay quietly on the other side of the river. By the time they crossed the river by boat, Dong Zhuo's army had already run to an unknown place. However, even if the bridge cannot be broken, the terrain is definitely very favorable, as long as an elite army is sent to block the bridge, and then the army surrounds from behind, the big thing can be decided! Moreover, the trees here are dense, let alone an army of 600,000, even if it is an army of millions, as long as they hide in the jungle, the army of Baiyun City will definitely not be able to find it.
After reading it, although Guo Yan was dissatisfied with Gao Shunduo in his heart, he had to admit that this was indeed a good place to block the army of Baiyun City, and immediately nodded and said, "This place is okay!" The trap camp under General Gao's command is strong and cooperates with each other, which is perfect for guarding the narrow bridge. As for attacking from behind, let me do it! ”
Gao Shun didn't understand Guo Yan's plan, it was nothing more than that he wanted to hand over most of the army under his command to him, and once he won the victory, he would be able to gain greater credit. Moreover, in Guo Yan's heart, the victory of this war is already an ironclad thing, and he will not take any risks because of this.
However, Gao Shun did not intend to argue with Guo Yan, although Guo Yan's words were not good, and his thoughts were also very selfish, Gao Shun knew that he was indeed more suitable for guarding the bridge than Guo Yan, or that the trap camp under his command was more suitable for guarding the narrow bridge. Therefore, Gao Shun did not object to Guo Yan's request.
Immediately, the two discussed the details of the battle for a while, but in the end they could not come up with a good result! The reason for this is naturally that Guo Yan is dissatisfied with Gao Shun.
In the end, the two sides only set the general direction, and by this time Dong Zhuo's large army had already passed the bridge. Gao Shun and Guo Yan did not delay and began to act separately.
Gao Shun only led the remaining 3,000 trapping camps and 30,000 eighth-order sword and shield soldiers under his command, and crossed the bridge directly. Although it is a bridge, it is not narrow at all, and the width of the bridge deck is nearly 100 meters, which is difficult to see in the real world.
Gao Shun didn't think that he could defend this bridge with his three thousand trapped camps, but he knew that Yang Tian had a super legion composed of ninth-order soldiers, although there were not many of them, but their combat effectiveness was indeed amazing. Even if his 3,000 trapped camp is wiped out, I'm afraid he won't be able to destroy the ninth-order soldiers with less than 1,000 people.
Fortunately, Gao Shun did not plan to annihilate the Baiyun City army with his own people, all he had to do was to drag the other party's footsteps and buy more time for Guo Yan's army behind him to annihilate the enemy. In this time, it is enough not to let the other party rush across the bridge, which is why Gao Shun brought 30,000 sword and shield soldiers with him while taking his 3,000 trapped camps. After all, this is a defensive battle, and compared to other classes, sword and shield soldiers are more suitable.
At the same time as Gao Shun left, Guo Yan also led more than 500,000 troops to hide in the surrounding dense forests, and this team spread more than ten mountains. And while entering the forest, Guo Yan also ordered the army of the palace to clean up the traces of the scene, so as not to be discovered abnormally. After all, he also knows the priorities of the matter, and if he fails to lead this resistance battle due to his own negligence, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
……
However, after Gao Shun and the others waited for a small half a day, the sky slowly darkened, but there was still no movement on the official road to the east, and even the air was quiet, except for the occasional vulture cavalry or two circling around, the powerful golden eagle cavalry that Li Ru speculated did not appear.
Gao Shun didn't think that the plans of himself and the others had been exposed, because their actions completely avoided Inhuman. At the same time as the ambush, not only were there a large number of vulture cavalry patrolling in the air, but there were also countless scout cavalry around, the purpose of which was to keep it secret.
But the other party still didn't appear, which couldn't help but make Gao Shun and Guo Yan feel that something was wrong, and Guo Yan was still a little afraid of those strategists under the sunshine. In the process of quelling the rebellion in Xiliang, the reason why the hundreds of thousands of troops in Baiyun City were invincible in the great war in which millions of troops participated was that those strategists could be said to have made great contributions.
Guo Yan is even a little skeptical now, whether the actions of himself and the others have been speculated by the other party, knowing that they can't overcome his own people, he doesn't plan to continue to follow.
If this is the case, will their plans be completely frustrated? (To be continued)
