Huo Quzhi also had a smile on his face, and said, "As long as he leaves Mingxi City, he will be our prey!"

"Not just a prey, but a doomed prey!"

Ran Min looked at the direction where Hukou Pass was located and said, "If he really comes to Shangguan Mountain, then we can attack them from the side at most, with the reaction ability of the army of the Bailan Kingdom, under the command of Tan Wenbo, maybe it can cause us a lot of losses." But now ......"

With a smile on his face, Ran Min said: "He went to Hukou Pass, that is, he handed over the back to our cavalry!"

"Immediately inform General Han Sen, who is guarding Hukou Pass, and tell him to be prepared, he must delay time, and at the same time, he must not let anything happen to Hukou Pass. ”

It takes more than three hours to reach Hukou Pass from Mingxi City, but it only takes less than two hours to reach Hukou Pass from where Ran Min and Huo Quai's army are now.

Even if the enemy army was an hour ahead of them now, the heralds that Ran Min sent out now would be able to get to the Hukou Pass one step ahead and let Han Sen arrange the defenses.

Han Sen was the only remaining general who faced the attack of Zhong Yuda, the general of the Ziyang Kingdom, and defended Wanhe City to the death, and his ability was not weak, and he had been under Meng Tian since he took over the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

Moreover, with a unique ability to defend the city, coupled with nearly 100,000 soldiers in the city, there is definitely no problem in delaying the enemy army.

After the enemy attacked, Ran Min and Huo Qubing led 150,000 iron cavalry to attack directly from the rear, which was definitely a complete disruption of the enemy's formation.

At that time, there will be only one step left before victory.

It can be said that Ran Min's arrangement is the best choice now, and as long as the enemy army can't find the iron cavalry under Ran Min's command, this battle is basically a decisive victory.

"Tell the army, slow down, and make sure that the enemy does not discover our whereabouts. ”

"Yes!"

After the order went down, Ran Min and Huo Qubing led 150,000 cavalry to Hukou Pass, but the speed was not fast, and they were waiting for the army under Tan Wenbo to launch an attack at Hukou Pass as soon as possible.

......

On the avenue leading from Mingxi City to Hukou Pass, Tan Wenbo led the army forward.

He looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, at this time it was more than half of the afternoon, even if the daylight was long now, it would be dark when he reached Hukou Pass, which was not a good thing for him.

After all, his mind was to catch the tiger by surprise and not be discovered in advance.

"Ordered the army, rest in place, hurry an hour before dawn tomorrow morning, strive to go directly to the Hukou Pass at dawn, and take the Hukou Pass in one fell swoop while the enemy army has no reaction. ”

"Yes!"

After Tan Wenbo's order went down, the army immediately stopped and rested in place.

"General, news has come from the Jinyi Guard's secret agents that the enemy has stopped advancing. ”

On Ran Min's side, the Jinyi Guard spies, who had been secretly following Tan Wenbo's army, passed the news over as soon as the enemy stopped.

"Stopped?"

Before Ran Min finished speaking, Huo Quzhi hurriedly asked, "Is the news confirmed?"

"General, the news came from the secret agent of Jinyiwei's 'Tian', and there is absolutely no problem. ”

Suddenly, Ran Min's brows furrowed.

The Jinyi Wei secret agent is divided into three levels: heaven, earth and man.

Because this is the absolute main battlefield, they have always used the word 'Tian' secret agents, and the news they came from means that there is no mistake.

Huo Quzhi also knew this, he also frowned, and said, "Big brother, the enemy army has just left Mingxi City for less than an hour and a half, how could it stop advancing?

"Impossible!"

Ran Min shook his head directly and said, "If you really find us, then you must know that we are cavalry, and Tan Wenbo will definitely immediately lead the army and retreat to Mingxi City, instead of stationing on the plain." ”

"For an infantry camp, even if the defense is not weak, in the case of a cavalry charge, it will cause huge damage, and even if they can destroy us, the casualties will be at least twice as much as ours. ”

"Tan Wenbo can decisively decide to attack Hukou Pass, then he will not be such a fool. He must have had something in mind. ”

"But what can be the plan for this?" Huo Quzhi was very puzzled, and said: "His army has already left Mingxi City, and now he hasn't discovered us, what can he do?"

"I can't see through it either. Ran Min sighed lightly and said, "If the prime minister and Lord Guo Jia are here, they will definitely be able to see through the enemy's plans." ”

Ran Min and Huo Qubing can be regarded as a generation of famous generals, but compared with Jia Xu and Guo Jia in terms of planning, there is still a big gap.

"Then big brother, what should we do?" Huo Quzhi looked at Ran Min and asked.

"Wait!"

Ran Min stared at the soldiers in front of him and said, "Send an order to the Jinyi Guard's secret agents, and closely monitor the enemy's movements under the condition of ensuring that they are not discovered, as long as there is the slightest movement of the enemy army, the news must be transmitted to me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier immediately took the order.

At the same time, Ran Min also arranged for the army to rest in place to maintain physical strength.

After arranging these, Ran Min sighed lightly and said, "What we can do next, and the only thing we can do, is to wait, wait for the Jinyi Guard to pass on the enemy's movements, and then see the next move." ”

Huo Quzhi listened, and could only sigh lightly, there was no good way.

......

After receiving the information from Ran Min, Han Sen immediately ordered his soldiers to go to the city and prepare for battle.

But a few hours passed, and there was still no enemy to be seen under the tiger's mouth.

Looking up at the sky, there was only less than an hour left before dark, and the enemy army had not yet appeared, and there was basically no chance to attack the city.

"General, is there a mistake in the information sent by General Ran Min? The Hukou Pass is empty, and not a single enemy can be seen, how can there be an army of more than 900,000 troops from Tan Wenbo to attack the city?" asked an adjutant general beside Han Sen.

"No, it is absolutely impossible!" Han Sen shook his head directly, stared at the front of Hukou Pass, and said in a deep voice: "General Ran Min is a general, if he can't be 100% sure, there will definitely be no news, the enemy army must be moving, it doesn't appear now, only there may be some accident." ”

"But general, if we continue to wait like this, the energy of our soldiers will not be able to withstand it, and if the enemy army really comes, the combat effectiveness will be very limited. "The adjutant is a little worried.

Han Sen groaned slightly, and immediately said, "Order the army to take turns to rest, but be sure to ensure that there are at least 10,000 soldiers on the city wall." ”

"Yes!"

After Han Sen's order went down, the lieutenant general immediately began to make arrangements, letting the army take turns to rest and ensure physical strength.

"General Ran Min's news will definitely not be wrong!" staring at the front of the Tiger Pass, Han Sen muttered in a low voice, "It's just that why hasn't the enemy army shown up yet, what are they doing?"
