The egret just gives a concept and a rough strategy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info specific situation in the valley, and he also got it from the report of the secret guard. This valley is called a valley because it is located in the basin of a canyon. Surrounded by all kinds of shrubs and vegetation, the entrance to the valley is hidden so deep that it is impossible to find it unless you are familiar with the terrain.

The environment is secluded, and it is naturally an excellent place to store grain. The grain and grass supplied to the Han Hu border army here have been very few for many years, which makes the reserves here abundant, and the minimum estimate is that the grain and grass here are not less than 60,000 or 70,000 tons.

Chen Kong was a horse bandit, and he had also taken refuge in the Chu State before, so he was naturally very concerned about the place where grain was stored in this border land, and even knew clearly the way to enter the valley. This is also why when he learned that Han Hu's army was embarrassed, he wanted to call Jiang Shaoxin and send the army to get his vote.

Now Han Hu's defensive circle can be described as full of mistakes and omissions. Because of the large number of troops, they can only barely strengthen their own checkpoint defenses, and if you want to defend everywhere, you can't do it.

Han Hu is timid and afraid of things, he is a power-grabbing person, and he attaches the most importance to his own safety, after the defeat of the border army, this guy not only has no opponents, and the centralization of power has increased greatly, but he is also afraid that the other party will take the opportunity to attack him, so he pulled the army to his side to defend. And there are also reserves of grain and grass in the border area, which is enough for the army around him, so the grain in this valley is not urgently needed by Han Hu.

As a result, there are less than 3,000 defense troops left in the Manchu Communists on this side of the valley, and it is not surprising that Chen Kong would say that if he attacked the valley, he could fight a battle.

Jiang Shaoxin, who was persuaded by Xue Yan, and Chen Kong, who had thoughts about the valley, began to recruit troops in the afternoon of the same day, completely ignoring the edict of the lord of the Han State.

According to Xue Yan, this dispatch of troops is at the request of the allies of the Xia Kingdom, in the righteousness of the whole alliance. It is not considered to be an unauthorized dispatch of troops and disobedience to the edict of the lord of the country. With Xia Guo taking the blame, and the egret making suggestions from afar, Jiang Shaoxin had no scruples, so together with Chen Kong, he organized an army of no less than 70,000, and marched straight towards the valley early the next morning.

Jiang Shaoxin himself has been defending at the border pass, and he has had enough of the days when he can only defend and not fight, and the soldiers under his command have not been able to obtain military merits, and they are also inexplicably excited about this dispatch. Over the years, it can be said that this group of hot-blooded men has not been suffocated.

The army of the Han State, in terms of strength, is not comparable to the Xia State and the Chu State. However, the formation and tactics of the Han army were led by the Three Kingdoms, and if the number of people was less than 10,000, they would not be arrayed. Then the Han State is definitely not the opponent of the Xia State or the Chu State, but if the array and the number of people is more than 10,000, so that the Han army can give full play to its advantages, then the equal Han army can resist the army of the Xia State or the Chu State with more than 30% of its own number. This is the power of the Han army.

We don't pay attention to individual combat, but pay attention to team combat. This is the characteristic of the Han State, so there are not many generals with outstanding personal strength in the Han State itself. Jiang Shaoxin, a border general, is only a six-star general, and there are only two generals under his command, both of which are only three stars. And Chen Kong is different, this bandit leader who was born as a horse bandit is also a master of the seven-star general, and there are six generals under his guards, and the most powerful one is the general-level nine-star consummation, and the strength cannot be underestimated, which is why several countries face the wolf narrow county city, and most of them are recruiting security rather than attacking hard.

The army of 70,000 marched for two days and rushed all the way to the range of the valley. Han Hu didn't even send a scout on his side, which made Jiang Shaoxin and Chen Kong's army go straight in, and it was incredibly smooth. It was only when they arrived near the valley that the news came from the scouts of Baili.

The support troops of the Chu State had already reached Tujiao Mountain on the border with Han, and it was only a day's journey from the valley.

"I'm afraid it's too late!" Chen Kong's complexion changed slightly, and he frowned and looked at Jiang Shaoxin, "It seems that the army of this Chu State is also marching all the way. It seems to be in a hurry, and after seeing it, it either found out about our advance or didn't bring much supplies with it, and needed to settle in the valley. But either way, it's not a good thing for us. ”

"Now it's all in the valley. Besides, it's useless. Jiang Shaoxin glanced at Chen Kong, "Don't always suffer from gains and losses, first knock down the valley, and take as much grain and grass as you can." When the other party comes in, everything that can't be taken will be burned. ”

Chen Kong knew that Jiang Shaoxin would arrange it like this, and his face ached. How much grain can be taken from the valley in less than a day? I'm afraid it's less than one-third of the grain stored in the valley. Burn the rest? This Jiang Shaoxin is simply not at home, and he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are. This is enough to save half a year's consumption of the empty wolf narrow county town.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong was fierce, "I can't control the time when the reinforcements from the Chu State arrive, can't we speed up the time to capture the valley?" Damn, this time give me an unreserved all-out attack, and within half an hour, Lao Tzu will see the camp gate of the valley open!"

The combination of the ruthless horse bandit leader and the bandit army under his command who saw the money was extremely terrifying. Before Jiang Shaoxin's siege troops could get forward, Chen Kong's vanguard army had already broken through the camp gate of the valley.

There are only 3,000 Chu troops in this deep valley, and even if they are not afraid of death, they will not be able to resist the attack of tens of thousands of people. After defending desperately for half an hour, the gate was opened by Chen Kong's bandit army, and the Chu army, which was less than 600 people, simply surrendered on their knees.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Chen Kong was still not satisfied with this speed, this is normal, every extra minute of time is a piece of grain and grass, that is, a lot of money. For Chen Kong, who values wealth more than life, snatching as much grain and grass as possible at the moment is the right thing.

Although Jiang Shaoxin also values grain and grass, he has the support of the logistics force of the Han State after all, unlike Chen Kong, an autonomous county and city order, who needs to have a headache for food and taxes every year.

Therefore, what he values more is to deal with the reinforcements of the Chu State.

"Niece Xueyan, the next situation is more dangerous. If the reinforcements of the Chu State see that the valley is robbed, they will definitely follow and attack, and I think the strategy of your Egret army division is very reliable, and I will definitely seize the opportunity. You might as well withdraw with Chen Kong's army. ”

"Uncle Jiang, this strategy came from my country's egret, and I came here in person. How can you do half the thing and leave. As for my uncle's concern for my safety, it is not necessary. Xue Yan shook her head, and then her true power flashed. "Although I advanced late, I am now a general-level one-star strength, even in the chaos of the war, I have the power to protect myself. ”

"What's more, as long as the strategy is implemented correctly, presumably we won't even have a chance to engage with the Chu army in a short fight. ”
