On the road from the Northern Chu Kingdom to Mengling City, there were three dangerous sections that were not easy to march. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Chu River is the first difficult path, and it is easy to be ambushed by enemy troops, and attacking half-crossed is a common strategy in the art of war. Xiang Shaojun, who led the army this time, is also a battlefield general, so he naturally knows the taboos.

After repeatedly sending scouts to find no trace of the enemy, the army survived the first danger unharmed. This made the Northern Chu reinforcements arrive a lot more relieved, and it seems that it is nothing more than this for his generals.

When they reached the second dangerous point, the army stopped its advance again. The mountains here are very steep, and the forests are dense and easy to hide. Even the scouts could hardly find out if there were enemy troops in ambush, so this time Xiang Shaojun was more cautious.

After breaking up the large army, the eagle saw the sorrow slowly, and the imaginary enemy did not appear. One of the generals laughed and said, "If our army attacks the enemy, I will definitely set up an ambush here, and when the enemy passes by, I will suddenly launch an attack, and the enemy army will be defeated without a fight!"

Xiang Shaojun continued to lead the army forward noncommittally, as for why Long Xiangnan didn't design in such a powerful place, he thought that Long Xiangnan must know that he was familiar with military aircraft and was unwilling to do that useless work.

The army marched forward in a hurry, the officers and men of the three armies were safe and sound, and their vigilance against the enemy army was reduced to the extreme.

A few days later, the army marched to the last place where it had to pass, and it was also the most dangerous terrain along the way, which was called Hulukou. The terrain is very narrow at both ends, but very open in the middle. In addition, the surrounding mountains are steep, but it is a natural danger.

After the garrison at Hulukou, all the generals did not dare to be careless. Generals who know a little about the art of war in this area will set up an ambush here, and with a very small number of troops, they can besiege dozens of times the enemy.

This time, Xiang Shaojun led 150,000 troops to reinforce Mengling City, and he even had a big stake this time, so he didn't dare to be careless at all. After sending scouts to explore to no avail, Xiang Shaojun, as the commander-in-chief, actually wanted to go to investigate in person.

"The commander can't, I can do it for me, but the officers and men of the three armies can't be handsome!" The generals dissuaded one after another, and Xiang Shaojun did not go in person, but sent several powerful henchmen and generals to investigate.

After some careful probing, they turned their bodies against each other.

"How is it?" Xiang Shaojun asked eagerly, when he set off, he carefully told these henchmen what to pay attention to, and he also trusted a few people very much.

"There was nothing suspicious, and there were no enemy troops anywhere. Several generals shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing.

Xiang Shaojun was puzzled, he looked around at the surrounding mountains and said, "Impossible? If the enemy army lets go of this last dangerous place, the rear will be flattened." ”

"Boss, it must be Long Xiangnan's presiding over the battle of Mengling City this time, so he can't care about coming to stop our army. Moreover, the Eastern Tang army only had 500,000 people, and no matter how powerful Long Xiangnan was, he would not dare to confront our army. One of the generals immediately explained.

The Eastern Tang Dynasty's forces were not dominant, and the reason why he was able to divide and surround the 400,000 Northern Chu army was that the generals were afraid of his reputation. If it is really hard to fight, the Northern Chu army is not weak.

Now they have come with 150,000 reinforcements, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of total strength. If it is explained in this way, the situation that several natural hazards are guarded by five people can also be explained.

"Haha, let his Long Xiangnan's strength be monstrous, and in the case that there is no general available in his hands, he can't do everything!" said the other person contemptuously, in his opinion, Long Xiangnan was just a vain name.

"Boss, I am willing to personally lead 10,000 soldiers to pass the test first and open the way for the coach. A general came out of the crowd and asked Xiang Shaojun for his life. His advance strategy is also very feasible, if there is really an ambush, it is likely to be exposed.

If the enemy does not care about these 10,000 soldiers, then when they intercept the follow-up troops, these two lines of troops and horses can form a flanking situation. And if they attack this advance army, they will lose the opportunity to surprise the rear army.

After thinking about it later, Xiang Shaojun made up his mind.

"The stakes are very important in this battle, if you lead the troops first, you must not retreat an inch, and there is no need to support our army until all of us pass through the gourd mouth!" Xiang Shaojun looked at the general solemnly and said, and handed a general order to his hand.

"If you can't clear the way for the commander, the last general will come to see you!" The general ordered arrows, lit 10,000 soldiers and horses, and went away.

"The three armies are ready, as soon as there is news from the front, we will set off at full speed!" Xiang Shaojun immediately gave the order, ordering the 150,000 army to move.

The 10,000-strong army, which was the vanguard, swept away, and they made no secret of their whereabouts. After the general entered the mouth of the gourd, his eyes paid close attention to the movements around him, and this dangerous terrain made his heart feel cold. If there really is an ambush at this time, they will not be able to escape even if they have wings.

The soldiers who followed closely behind the general also trembled at the steep cliffs on all sides, and the cry of the birds flying by the monkey made them feel a little creepy.

"I'm following up!Full speed ahead!" The general ordered 10,000 soldiers to rush out of the gourd mouth at full speed. If the enemy army really exists, they can reduce some losses in time, but they secretly pray in their hearts that there will be no enemy soldiers.

Perhaps their prayers worked, and the general, who galloped all the way out of the gourd's mouth, did not find the shadow of the enemy.

"There is no enemy?" Even the vanguard general was puzzled at this time, he really couldn't think of why the enemy army did not block their way. The terrain here is too treacherous, and it will be a trial and error here.

"It seems that Long Xiangnan is really a waste of fame, or his subordinates are some idiots who can only talk on paper. Hahaha~" The vanguard general laughed, and now he felt that the army of the Eastern Tang Dynasty seemed to be much weaker than he imagined, and it was not worth their caution at all.

"Report to the marshal, there is no obstacle ahead, you can quickly pass through the gourd mouth!" summoned the message and quickly left the news back, although Xiang Shaojun, who had been prepared for a long time, had doubts, but it was not too late to go through the gourd mouth first.

It was indeed not easy for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to pass through Hulukou, and they walked for an hour without the enemy's obstruction. If you can march dozens of miles in an hour on weekdays, you can only walk a few miles away in this gourd.

"There are no unusable generals in the Eastern Tang Dynasty! Such a natural danger makes it easy for me to pass by, and this time the battle of Long Xiangnan will definitely be defeated!" After the soldiers of the three armies passed through Hulukou, they were all convinced of this sentence. The other party didn't seize such a good opportunity, how could they annihilate the 150,000 Northern Chu reinforcements?

After passing through Hulukou safely, the march speed of the three armies was significantly faster. Even the most ordinary foot soldiers were eager to reach Mengling City as soon as possible at this time, so that they could kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. As for Long Xiangnan's prestige, they had already taken it to heart at this time.

From the generals to the soldiers, they all began to despise Long Xiangnan and the Eastern Tang Army from the bottom of their hearts. After all, although Long Xiangnan was famous, most of them had only heard rumors and had not seen them with their own eyes.

As for the coach Xiang Shaojun, although there is still a trace of it in his heart, he is no longer so jealous of Long Xiangnan.

"This time, maybe Long Xiangnan's hands are too few available talents, so he won't have time to make a plan to stop us, and our army is extremely fast, so we didn't give Long Xiangnan much time to react. Xiang Shaojun secretly thought about the whole thing, and also made his own inference.

"Maybe it's because Long Xiangnan's purpose is to let Northern Chu send troops to support Mengling City? After all, the military strength of Northern Chu is not unlimited. This speculation made Xiang Shaojun's heart skip a beat, but he quickly dispelled his thoughts. Even if there is not a single soldier in Northern Chu, it is a dream for the Eastern Tang Army to want to fall from the sky, let alone win or lose in one fell swoop.

"The three armies are working day and night, striving to reach Mengling City as soon as possible!" Seeing the eager looks of the soldiers, Xiang Shaojun had no choice but to continue to give the order to hurry. After all, looking at the appearance of the soldiers now, he has no intention of stopping and resting, and he has to conform to the will of the army.

After rushing out for hundreds of miles again, Xiang Shaojun had to stop and recuperate his army. Although the soldiers asked for orders and said that they could continue to march, Xiang Shaojun knew that they were all holding on, and it was completely a desire to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to support them to advance.

"Set up camp, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow. Mengling City is impregnable, and it will not be a big problem if it is delayed for a day!" As soon as the military order was given, all the sergeants suddenly vented their anger in their hearts, and began to bury the pot to cook and settle the camp.

A day's hurried journey had already exhausted these soldiers, and as Xiang Shaojun said, they were indeed all in a hurry. At this time, when night fell, all the sergeants fell asleep, and even the soldiers of the night vigil were tired.

At ten midnight, when people were most tired, a group of soldiers from the Eastern Tang Dynasty approached the camp of the Northern Chu army. The patrols scattered around the outside have long been eliminated by the archers one by one. The guards on the camp were also desperately supporting their bodies to keep themselves from falling, but their eyes were unwilling to open again.

"Whoosh~" Countless soldiers with burning oil shot into the camp of the Northern Chu army from a distance, and the boundless fire raged in an instant.

"Enemy attack!ah~" The screams pierced the sky, and the sleeping soldiers suddenly woke up. Their misty eyes simply can't adapt to the firelight!

"Charge with me!" Li Yitian took the lead and led the knights of the Dragon Tooth Battalion to rush into the burning camp of the Northern Chu Army.

"Kill!" "Killed!" In the face of the soldiers who were not in good clothes and armor and fled from the fire in a hurry, the Eastern Tang cavalry showed no mercy and slaughtered! )
