Chapter 281: Invulnerable Huizhou Army
"It's coming so fast, I thought I'd have to wait two more days."
Xiangyan and their preparations from Wuzhou City to Quyoudao Pass took three days to march normally, and later it took two days to build fortifications in front of the pass, which added up to only five days, originally conservatively estimated that Shangguan Tangyuan would only arrive at Quyoudao on the seventh day of the expedition, but they did not expect them to march quite fast, two days faster than expected.
Xiangyan walked out of the camp account, Qu Jiangshan came into view, the towering and upright Qu Jiangshan completely cut off the road to the west, the east is the turbulent river, Xiangyan has already asked Xu Ce to make a simple sluice, if Shangguan Tangyuan dares to cross the border from the river and mountain halfway, then Xiangyan will open the gate and release the water, and directly rush Shangguan Tangyuan back to Huizhou.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Xiangyan commanded left and right, and a group of 100 people rode fast horses and ran to the mountainside of Qujiang Mountain.
Xiangyan came halfway up the mountain, and couldn't help but be shocked when she looked at the dense figures in the distance!
The march of 30,000 men was neatly like a machine, and the sentry cavalry was always on guard around the army, and there was no flaw at all!
It is conceivable how high the combat level of the Huizhou army is.
"You can tell from the march that this is going to be a tough battle." Xiangyan said worriedly.
Although the formation can give full play to the coordination ability of the soldiers, it cannot improve the combat level, and judging from the combat level alone, Xiangyan has fallen into an extremely unfavorable situation.
As the saying goes, one force will drop ten!
Throughout the ages, there have been many feats of one person breaking the formation or several people breaking the formation, and in the face of real strength, the number of people and the formation are useless.
Fortunately, after seeing the appearance of the Huizhou army, Xiangyan also has some ways to deal with it, but it is a little difficult to repel it head-on.
"Yes, the appearance and style of the army are not comparable to our army, even if it is the strong Chen army, it is only half a catty and eight taels in front of the Huizhou army." Feng Quan also nodded and said, although he hadn't heard of any famous generals in Huizhou, but this majestic army was enough to make him worry a lot. "I didn't expect Shangguan Tangyuan to be able to bring the army like this, worthy of being Mr. Dugu's disciple."
"It's seamless." Xu Ce frowned, but he still commented truthfully, he was the same junior of Shangguan Tangyuan, and he knew very early that Shangguan Tangyuan was favored by Dugu Chuan because of his military talent, but the first time he saw Shangguan Tangyuan leading troops to fight, he couldn't help but be anxious, this is the most tricky enemy. "In the past, it was because Jiangdong was three-legged, and Huizhou had the trouble of Kou State, so Shangguan Tangyuan didn't take action to clean up Wu Fan, but now Su Shuo is restrained by Zhao Lingjie, and Huizhou's trouble has also been alleviated a lot, which makes Shangguan Tangyuan free up his hand to attack Wuzhou, which not only makes him famous, but also follows his wishes."
"Yes, the thief is too effective for several surrounding forces, and it completely gives them a reason to attack Wuzhou." Xiangyan couldn't help but nod. Shangguan Tangyuan could have taken advantage of Su Shuo's westward expedition to choose to attack Wuzhou or Suzhou, but he did not move, neither cut down Wu nor conquered Suzhou, Xiangyan thought about it, Shangguan Tangyuan should be waiting for such an opportunity!
It is easy to attack the city, but difficult to attack the heart.
Now Wuzhou is designated as a traitor, as long as Shangguan Tangyuan captures Wuzhou, it can not only collect Wuzhou, but also complete the holy decree of the five emperors of Qin, and also harvest the hearts of the people of Wuzhou.
The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, and Shangguan Tangyuan's actions can be somewhat reminiscent.
Compared with the quick-track Wuzhou, which took the lead and used extraordinary means to reform, the heritage of Huizhou is more profound, and the soldiers of Huizhou are also in the real sense of raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.
"Let's go back to the barracks first, with the speed of their march, there is no chance for us to wait for work." Xiangyan and the others left after observing for a while, instead of sighing here, it is better to go back and make plans in advance.
On the other side, Shangguan Tangyuan's scout team had already mastered the information of Xiangyan and the others.
"Lord, as you expected, Xiang Zilan and the others really went up to the mountainside of Qujiang to observe our military situation, and the battle we made for them to show should have been remembered by them." Lan Rongchang laughed rudely.
Lan Rongchang is the vanguard general in the army led by Shangguan Tangyuan, although he does not have the courage to be unstoppable, but unlike his rough appearance, his command ability is first-class, and what he is best at is the group tactics he learned from Shangguan Tangyuan.
"Okay, you immediately lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to occupy the most open place on the mountainside of Qujiang." Shangguan Tangyuan pretended to ponder when he heard this, according to his expectations, Xiang Zilan should be able to narrow the scope of the enemy.
The higher the place, the easier it is to command and cast the formation, although Xiangyan occupies the Quyou Road Pass, but its height is not enough to overlook the whole battlefield, so Xiangyan is slower than him to deal with it.
"Yes." Lan Rongchang immediately led 5,000 lightly armed infantry to occupy the mountainside of Qujiang Mountain.
The news reached Xiangyan's ears in less than half an hour.
"They occupy Qujiangshan? Qujiangshan is five miles away from Quyoudao Pass, although the military book says that it is easy to resist the enemy by choosing a high place to camp, but it is impossible for them to want to fight a protracted war? Feng Quan said in surprise, it was very strange for Shangguan Tangyuan's behavior.
Xiangyan has other ideas, for people like them who are addicted to formations, it is natural that there must be a certain distance to deal with the changes in the formation freely, Qu Jiangshan is too far away for the battlefield chosen by Xiangyan, although standing on Qu Jiangshan can clearly see the change of the battle situation, but it is not conducive to command at all, unless there is a tool for remote communication, but there is no telephone here, let alone radio, how can there be such a means of remote communication, Xiangyan can't think of what Shangguan Tangyuan is going to do for a while.
"Could it be that they want to fight with the place where they set up camp? The spies just said that there were thousands of people occupying Qujiang Mountain," Xu Zhan asked.
"Possibly." Feng Quan agreed with Xu Zhan's statement, dividing the troops into two places is something that often happens on the battlefield, and fighting each other is also the most common way to camp.
At this time, Xu Ce put forward a very dangerous idea: "Qujiangshan can go to Wuzhou City by bypassing the Quyou Road, although it will take some more time, but as long as they go to attack Wuzhou City, then we will inevitably withdraw some troops to help, they can fight guerrilla warfare, but as soon as we withdraw, we will be exhausted, and then they will have one more point to win the Quyou Road Pass." ”
Xu Ce had already figured out Shangguan Tangyuan's thoughts to the limit, and at the same time, he also thought that Shangguan Tangyuan was extremely likely to do so!
