Chapter 304: The Shayu Pass has its own strategies
It was another sleepless march, and it was not until the evening of the second day that Yao Ruoyu and others finally arrived at the junction of Wenbang and Guang'an.
This was originally a small town in Hezhou, named Shayu Town, but later because the city-state twice absorbed displaced people on a large scale, most of the residents in the town moved to Diaoyu City, and the town was abandoned for a period of time.
Until a year and a half ago, with the establishment of Yitong City and Sanjiang City, surrounded by three acropolis, Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai and others deliberately chose several dangerous places as the passes on the border of Wenbang, one of which is this Shayu Town.
Shayu Town is in a dangerous terrain, the whole town is located in a canyon, the canyons on both sides stretch for thousands of miles, there are few roads that can be traveled, and it is also the only way for Guang'an City to enter the city-state.
So long before, Zhou Zhi had been ordered by Yao Ruoyu to lead five hundred soldiers to garrison here, anyway, the distance between this place and Wenbang was only twenty miles, and as long as he activated the spirit array arranged in advance, he could resist a hundredfold enemy, and he could calmly wait for Wenbang's reinforcements to arrive.
When Yao Ruoyu arrived, it was obvious that this place had just gone through a fierce battle, and the strong smell of blood had not yet dissipated, and wild dogs, vultures and other creatures could be seen everywhere on the mountain walls on both sides.
Yao Ruoyu and the others had just come to the gate, the city gate had been opened, Ren Jiasheng and the three lieutenant generals hurried out and welcomed everyone into the pass.
Just after entering the pass, Ren Jiasheng was already overjoyed: "Brother demon, you are finally here, if you go down, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on." ”
"What do you say?" Yao Ruoyu looked left and right and asked, "What about Song Kai?"
"They're in the command room, everybody's there. Ren Jiasheng replied.
Yao Shan and other lieutenant generals were instructed to lead the army to be stationed, and Yao Ruoyu, Yang Renjie, and Li Yilin, under the leadership of Ren Jiasheng, came to the command room in the center of the pass not long after.
At this time, the command room was already full of people, Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, Zou Buyi, and Zhou Zhi stood in front of the sand table and talked in a low voice, while Fu Feng, Fu Chaozan, Jiang Siyu, Li Huan, Chen Meng and others stood around, interjecting a few words from time to time.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu and them come in, everyone was overjoyed, and Xu Xuanrong was also slightly relieved, and then chuckled: "How is Tongnan City?"
"Killed more than 4,000 golden soldiers, the rest is not to worry about, Tongnan City doesn't need to worry about it for the time being, let's talk about it here first," took off his cloak and threw it on the side of the seat, Yao Ruoyu walked quickly to the sand table, looked down, and asked, "How is the situation now?"
Zhou Zhi picked it up and replied: "Luck is good, before the battle with them, the news of the dark department has already been transmitted, because we know that the other party has 16,000 people, so we didn't dare to go out at will, we relied on the spirit array for a long time before, and just fought with them, the loss is not heavy, but it is not light." ”
Song Kai bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "This time, in addition to ordinary soldiers, there are five people in the five realms of the army, Wan Yan Roar and Wan Yan Xiao, who have fought before, as well as the city lord Wan Yan Cheng of Nanchong City, Wan Yan Yi, the city defense general, and Wan Yan Qiuge, the hall master of the Black Lotus Sect in Nanchong City. ”
"Fortunately, there are Mr. Chen and the two elders of the Chu family this time, as well as Wu Xue's master," Xu Xuanrong frowned slightly, and said indifferently, "I also temporarily flattened the other party's five realms, and didn't let them interfere in the previous battle, otherwise the loss this time will probably be even greater." ”
"Five Five Realms?" Yao Ruoyu narrowed his eyes and muttered, "I can match the Five Realms with the momentum of the Night Dragon Rider, and the other party only needs to have no one to reach the Five Realms Consummation, and when the next time I fight, I will most likely be able to kill one or two of the opponent's Five Realms." ”
Yang Renjie grinned: "With the Thunder God Battalion, the Beast God Camp and the Night Dragoon, we can also gain the upper hand in group battles." ”
Hearing this, Zou Buyi, who had always been silent, suddenly moved, and said lightly: "Since we have the advantage, then the Jin soldiers are afraid that they will have to retreat." ”
"How did they know we had the upper hand?" Fu Feng suddenly sneered, squinting at him.
Zou Buyi didn't care when he heard this, shrugged his shoulders, and chuckled: "Guess." ”
Song Kai nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yao, they came from Tongnan, and they came back with Abu, so most of them went to the north gate, in this case, Jin Guo must have already known about their return, we can understand that they will have the upper hand next, of course they also understand." ”
"Report!" While a few people were talking, a sentry suddenly walked in quickly outside the door, hugged his fists and said, "Just now the spies outside the city reported that the allied forces of Guang'an and Nanchong have retreated, and the camp is all cleaned up, not like pretending." ”
Fu Feng's face suddenly turned red, and Yang Renjie, Li Yilin and others, who had obviously seconded his words, were also embarrassed, but Zou Buyi still didn't change his face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Pursuit?"
"Poor Kou Mo chase," Yao Ruoyu shook his head at first, then his eyes lit up, and Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, and Zou Buyi each looked at each other, and then chuckled, "But it's not impossible." ”
Song Kai pointed to the sand table and said solemnly: "Jin Guo is good at cavalry field warfare, not siege warfare, and now they have no upper hand in terms of strength or masters, so retreat is inevitable, but it is not necessarily that he intends to stop fighting, but he wants to find a terrain suitable for cavalry warfare to fight with us." ”
Song Kai's fingertips slid lightly along the sand table, then stopped in one place, raised his eyebrows and said, "Here." ”
Yao Ruoyu glanced at the place and frowned, "Yue Chi?"
Zou Buyi smiled: "This is a small city in Guang'an, the terrain is open, although it is said to be a plain, but the terrain is undulating, mud swamps, thorns are everywhere, which is not conducive to cavalry charge, but the spirit master of the Black Lotus Sect in Jin has cast spells, which can ignore the terrain, this is the best choice to face our literary and artistic army." ”
"There is also a Wusheng City between Yuechi City and us," Yao Ruoyu groaned in his heart and frowned, "If they plan to face us outside Yuechi, then this Wusheng City ......"
"Most of them just give up, or they will arrange for a guy who no one likes to go over to guard the town. Song Kai, who is good at perceiving the dark side of people's hearts, suddenly sneered.
Seeing that Xu Xuanrong also nodded in agreement, Yao Ruoyu immediately bowed his head and said: "In this case, the whole army will rest for a day, start tomorrow, attack Wusheng City, and then outside this Yuechi City, and the two cities of Guang'an and Nanchong will join forces to fight it out!"
"Yes!"
*——*——*——*
At the same time, among the retreating Jin army, several people were riding forward and talking in low voices.
"Little Prince, according to your plan, the whole army has withdrawn to Yuechi City, but the literary army may not have the courage to dare to pursue it, after all, out of the Shayu Pass is the territory of my Dajin......"
Wan Yan Qiongyu suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Wan Yan Xiao's words, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said indifferently: "Do you think there is a problem with my plan?"
Wan Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and Wan Yan hurriedly snorted when he saw this: "Where, how can the little prince make a mistake, it's just that Xiao He has always been careful, and he is always worried that there will be a guy who is unstable and spoils the little prince's plan." ”
With a sneer, Wanyan Qiongyu raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I know that I rashly interfered in your battle this time, and also changed your plan, which really makes you very embarrassed, after all, the guy surnamed Ding is the chief staff of Wanyan Emperor Yi, and even the two sect masters of the Black Lotus Sect can't help him, how can I dare to interfere in his layout......"
The four generals Wan Yan Roar, Wan Yan Xiao, Wan Yan Zhan, and Wan Yan Yi were all embarrassed when they heard this, and Wan Yan Qiuge, the only Black Lotus Sect branch master, was looking at his nose and nose, and he looked like he hadn't heard it at all.
After sneering a few times, Wanyan Qiongyu slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said in a deep voice: "I competed with Emperor Wanyan for the throne, it was a personal dispute, this time to move troops against the Song Dynasty, it is related to the future prosperity and decline of my Dajin, even if I Wanyan Qiongyu insists on the throne, I will not deliberately destroy Ding Yanzhi's layout because of his identity, please rest assured." ”
Wan Yan Zhan glanced at the others a few times, and said with a smile: "The little prince is so open-minded, Wan Yan Zhan admires it." ”
Wanyan Qiongyu smiled and said lightly: "Before coming to Guang'an, I personally visited Ding Yanzhi, and I also had his permission to dare to intervene in the war here. ”
Seeing that Yan Yan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wan Yan Qiongyu's eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't say anything, and said indifferently: "Wenbang is different from back then, now they have two people in the Six Realms, and there are close to ten people in the Five Realms, although the army under their command is only more than 20,000 people, but the dark night dragon cavalry is enough to resist a hundred times the army, and the Xiang family thunder cavalry should not be underestimated. ”
Wan Yan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said with his head bowed: "What the little prince said is very true, so this plan, I, Guang'an and Nanchong, have no plans to do it, but just hope to contain the Wenbang army here and prevent them from interfering in our war with the Song Dynasty." ”
"It's just that I have a personal enmity with that Wen Bang, or rather, a mortal enmity!" Wan Yan Qiongyu's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "If you don't destroy Wen Bang, my heart barrier is difficult to break, and the five realms are also difficult to break through, so the reason why I came here this time is for the sake of Xiao Wang's path." ”
Everyone couldn't help but look awe-struck when they heard this, Wanyan Qiongyu, as the third place on the splendid list, is now the consummation of the four realms, and he is only one step away from the five realms, thinking that he can break through the five realms at any time, but they don't want him to have mental obstacles because of the relationship between the literary and artistic army, which is equivalent to saying that the literary and artistic army will not be destroyed, and he is very likely to stop at the consummation of the four realms in the future.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wanyan Qiongyu said coldly: "So before I came this time, I had already used my father's order to let the elites of Mianyang and Deyang come to reinforce, and there were four five realms with the army, plus you, nine five realms, plus 30,000 troops, why worry about the immortality of the literary and artistic army?"
"But the dark night dragon rider ......" Yan Qiuge finally couldn't bear it anymore and hesitated.
The corners of his lips twitched, and Wanyan Qiongyu sneered slowly: "The Nutao Army has quietly returned to Sichuan at dawn today, and the Nutao Army in Chongqing at this moment is just a pretence of the Chengdu Fucheng Defense Army. ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, the Angry Tao Army is the elite under the command of Wanyan Crazy Tao, all of them are the Three Realms Perfect, and there are three Five Realms and thirty Four Realms in charge, even if they still can't deal with the Night Dragoon, but the containment is enough.
Thinking about it this way, this time the literary and artistic army is a full 40,000 army, as well as twelve people in the five realms, and the four realms are as high as more than 50 people.
