Chapter 184: Gusheng Pass

Liao Min heard Gu Yun ask for advice, and he rushed to be the first to speak: "Gusheng Pass must be opened, it is related to the supply line from Luozhou City to the capital, if it is not opened, even if our six thousand soldiers and horses enter the capital, they will become sourceless water!" ”

Gu Yun nodded in agreement, and drew a triangle on the map: "Gusheng Pass must be opened, it is related to the connection between the capital and Luozhou City, only by opening this line, plus Muzhou City, you can form a big horn trend, which can play an immeasurable role in pacifying the world as soon as possible!" ”

Liao Min seemed to be encouraged and continued to speak: "There are three checkpoints in Gusheng Pass, one is the one in front of us, the other is in the north, which is one of the strategic points for the capital to enter the northwest, and the other is the western barrier of Shuntianfu, these three checkpoints form a natural pocket. The sergeants lived in the pass, and the past business travelers passed through here, which made Gusheng Pass like a city. Therefore, although Gusheng Pass is a checkpoint, there are actually many ordinary people living in it, and there is no shortage of population and food, which is not conducive to a protracted war! ”

"This is true not only of Gusheng Pass, but also of the other two checkpoints outside the capital. Winning the Gusheng Pass is equivalent to tearing off a big hole in the defense of the capital! Suncheonfu is at our feet! Gu Yun also knows a little about Dashun, the checkpoints outside the capital, in addition to Gusheng Pass, there are also Shanhaiguan in the northeast and Dingnan Pass in the south. The capital can be said to be located in the middle of Dashun, from the capital to send troops, can be south and north, can be east and west, in addition to the political status of the capital, itself is a military strategic place.

At this time, Ning Guobin, who usually doesn't speak, interjected: "I know that there is a trail on the road that can bypass this checkpoint in the west of Gusheng Pass. But that path is so difficult to walk that you can't pass it if you're not a master! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! Gu Yun looked at Ning Guobin with interest. This is a general who talks less and does more, usually silent. At this time, he interjected, presumably there must be important news.

Sure enough, Ning Guobin came to the map and recalled for a while, pointed to a mountain range and said: "If I remember correctly, this is the trail, where there is a cliff on the mountainside, you need to grab a very long rope and slide down slowly, if you are not careful, you will fall to your death!" ”

"I'm not afraid! I have a magical scroll that allows you to slowly descend to the bottom of a cliff. There will be no problems with the pool! When Gu Yun heard Ning Guobin say this, he thought of the Feather Falling Technique Scroll, that kind of scroll was much cheaper than the Flying Technique Scroll, and it was just right to use it at this time.

Ning Guobin's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "That's how it will be done!" ”

Gu Yun then instructed: "Ning Guobin led his men and horses to follow me on the path, Xiaoyu Xiaomei and Xiaolan each led ten senior swordsmen to follow the army on the expedition, and the rest were under the command of Wu Gang, Liao Min was responsible for supervision, and Clark was responsible for guarding. Let's act as soon as we prepare. Depending on the situation, you will be attacked from inside and outside the gate! ”

"Yes!" Wu Gang and the others naturally nodded and took the order.

Everyone made a fire to cook, ready to fill their stomachs and nourish their spirits. Gu Yun, on the other hand, quietly went to the magic plane and purchased more than a thousand Feather Fall Scrolls. Thankfully, it's the headquarters of the Magic Society. There are a large number of high-level mages who sell all kinds of magic items in order to save money, otherwise it will be really difficult to get the scrolls he needs for a while.

After finishing the scroll, Gu Yun returned to the camp. When everyone was ready, he asked Ning Guobin to lead the way. led more than a thousand people to the mountains.

The mountain trails are narrow enough to be passed by one person. Fortunately, there were not too many people in a thousand, everyone was lightly armed, and they didn't encounter any powerful beasts along the way, and everyone reached the cliff smoothly.

The cliff is about 400 meters long, and there is a dense forest below, which is just enough for the soldiers to hide their figures. Of course, there are also disadvantages to dense forests, and if they are found and people light a fire, it will also cause heavy losses.

Gu Yun asked Xiao Yu and other masters to use the scroll feather to fall first, and with their example in front, the soldiers behind followed suit, and successfully used the feather falling scroll to go down to the dense forest.

Gu Yun went down to the dense forest at the last one, and when he came down, Ning Guobin stepped forward and reported: "Out of the dense forest, there is a military camp outside, which is the garrison of the defenders west of Gusheng Pass, there were about 10,000 officers and soldiers stationed here before, and they can be regarded as the elite of the imperial army, but now I don't know what the situation is!" ”

"This is not difficult, I'll take a few masters over to take a look!" Gu Yun nodded and looked into the depths of the dense forest.

Ning Guobin was also worried that there was a change outside the dense forest, so he nodded and said, "That's very good!" ”

Gu Yun took Xiaoyu and Ning Guobin, walked through the dense forest, and touched the barracks of the imperial army.

About half an hour later, they came to the outside of the dense forest, and indeed a military camp appeared in front of them.

The barracks were on a high ground, about four or five hundred meters away from the woods, square, with a total of four gates, covering an area of hundreds of acres. In the barracks, some soldiers are training, and looking at the number of people, there are as many as 20,000, which is obviously more than the 10,000 that Ning Guobin said.

Ning Guobin observed the soldiers in the barracks for a while, and said: "It seems that the imperial army is going to make some moves, the people here are obviously not guarding the guards, they lack training, and they seem to be newly recruited recruits!" ”

"The recruits are just right, saving us trouble!" Gu Yun didn't care about this. However, since there are new recruits here, his actions along the way have long been in the eyes of the imperial court, and it seems that the defense of the capital is strengthening!

But this is no different for Gu Yun, no matter how powerful the defense of the capital is, he will go to attack it, provided that he wins the Gusheng Pass. Thinking of this, Gu Yun said: "We will take the soldiers over, wait until the evening and launch a night attack, and destroy this camp first!" ”

"Yes!" Ning Guobin has no opinion on night attacks, winning more with less is originally intended to be a surprise attack, and night attacks are also one of the means of surprise attacks.

So, Ning Guobin returned to the dense forest on the other side of the cliff and brought the soldiers over. And Gu Yun informed Wu Gang and the others, asking them to feint and win the pass when they got the signal.

The soldiers rested in the dense forest until midnight when they were called up, and the army was about to move.

Gu Yun and the other soldiers were ready, and led them to within two hundred meters of the barracks, and quietly surrounded the three sides of the barracks, leaving only the gate to the west of Gusheng Pass unblocked.

After surrounding the barracks, Gu Yun and Xiaoyu Xiaomei Xiaolan immediately rose into the air, took out a grenade launcher and aimed at the barracks dormitory, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang - Bang Bang -

The sound of four grenades fired in a row rang out, and four barracks of the imperial army instantly burst into flames, three of which were accompanied by explosions.

Gu Yun fired an incendiary bomb, and wherever the grenade went, the camp was instantly ignited, and the flames rose into the sky.

Xiaoyu and the others fired high-explosive anti-personnel grenades, and wherever they went, the camp exploded instantly, and the high temperature generated by the explosion also ignited the flammable materials, which was also a burst of fire.

As Gu Yun and the other four launched a grenade attack, the soldiers in the barracks exploded in an instant, and the screams, shouts, and curses kept ringing. (To be continued......)
