Chapter 57: A Detour

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard Guo Youzhi's words, no one wanted to fight with a firearm unit equipped with the same equipment as their own troops, although the Hong army had rich combat experience, and they would not be afraid of anyone if they really wanted to fight, but if everyone was equipped with the same equipment, even if they could win, their own casualties would inevitably be heavy. Everyone here is aware of the terrifying lethality of firearms.

Guo Youzhi deduced that it was impossible for other cities to have large-scale firearms and equipment, which solved a big problem, but what about other problems?

"What if Liu Feng sends troops to copy our back road?" Zhang Bao raised this issue that everyone is worried about.

"Whew! What's there to be afraid of, as long as he dares to come, a certain hits him #Mother won't recognize him. The vulture sneered.

Everyone has become accustomed to the unreliability of the vultures, and instinctively chose to ignore his words. But Guo Youzhi didn't ignore it, on the contrary, he felt that what the vulture bone said was very reasonable. He pondered for a while and said:

"In this way, we will leave some men and horses to monitor the White Emperor City, and if he dares to bring his troops out, we will ambush him. It is estimated that there will not be too many troops in the White Emperor City, and the fire # spearmen are estimated to be one to two thousand, and as for the cold weapon troops, there will be a few thousand at most, and there will be no more than 10,000.

We only need a small number of centaurs to watch them, and as long as they make any changes, we can use these centaurs to deal with them, so that we can solve our worries. ”

Guo Youzhi's analysis is reasonable, before Wei and Wu besieged Shu, and the troops that Shu could draw were all transferred to the front. Xu Jing and Wu Yi tried their best to transfer Zhuge Liang from the center, but at the same time they transferred Zhuge Liang, they also exhausted the domestic troops.

This may be regarded as a side effect of transferring Zhuge Liang, the biggest consequence of this side effect is that now the country has reached the point where there are almost no soldiers available, and when Liu Hou counterattacked Chengdu, they found out about this embarrassing situation. The thousands of people sent to the White Emperor City to assist Liu Feng in preventing Liu Hou from entering Shu were still a little bit of money that they collected from many sources and comprehensively solicited them.

Therefore, no matter how well the conspiracy is played, there is no corresponding strength as the foundation, just like the reeds on the wall, top-heavy and shallow.

"Okay, then let's leave a regiment of fire # spearmen, plus two thousand rattan armor soldiers to cooperate with them in the battle, I believe it is enough to deal with Liu Feng." Liu Houdao.

"Well, it's enough, with the comparison of the forces of the two sides, such a configuration is enough. Separate these centaurs, and the combat power of the main forces will not be greatly affected. Guo Youzhi stroked the goat's beard under his chin and said. His beard was originally very short, but after several years of continuous development, it has developed to the size of a goatee, and I don't know if he will become a beautiful beard if he continues to develop.

"Who wants to stay and do this post-break work?" Liu Hou asked the generals.

The generals look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. After all, Liu Feng would not necessarily go out of the city to sneak attack the back of the Hong army, and leaving people to spy on him was just in case. This means that it is very likely that there will be no war to fight and no achievements to make if you stay. No one wants to do a leisurely job that doesn't seem cheap to be made.

"Although the military strength we left behind is enough to deal with Liu Feng's troops out of the city, we will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 ourselves, if we face them head-on, our army will definitely suffer a lot of damage. However, if you occupy favorable terrain, you can encircle it and attack it by sneak attack, and you can completely annihilate the enemy with a small number of casualties. Therefore, the generals who remain should be good at hiding and sneak attacking. Guo Youzhi added.

Everyone was still staring at each other like Zhang Fei piercing a needle. Liu Hou saw that no one made a sound, so he had to personally order: "Huang Xu!" ”

"Here!" Huang Xu, the head of the third regiment, stood up, put his feet together, and made a standing posture. Everyone looked at him with their eyes brushed, secretly relieved in their hearts, and Huang Xu screamed bad luck in his heart. Everyone had a premonition in their hearts, and sure enough, they only listened to Liu Houdao:

"Huang Xu, you are the best at stealth, hiding and sneak attacking, this task will be handed over to you, you lead the people of the headquarters, and then draw two thousand vine armor soldiers from the vulture bones, be sure not to let Liu Feng sneak attack our main force."

Huang Xu is the son of Huang Zhong, and his archery skills are very good, so he was once sent by Liu Hou to the Cobra special forces for special training, and has carried out jungle sniper missions many times. After he became the commander of the third regiment, he brought to his team the skills and combat styles such as stealth, concealment, and sneak attack that the special forces learned.

Therefore, the third regiment is a very distinctive regiment, if there is still that general, that regiment is the most suitable for carrying out the task of ambushing and sneaking up on Liu Feng, it is none other than Huang Xu and his third regiment.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Huang Xu yelled. Although he was dissatisfied, an order was an order, and he could only carry it out and not shirk it. Don't say that Liu Hou is now the emperor, even if it is the identity of the original prince and the identity of the commander of the Hong army, once he officially gives the order, the entire Hong army will only "guarantee the completion of the task", and there is no prevarication at all.

After several years of fighting, although Liu Hou is still young, his prestige in the Hong army is already incomparable.

"General Huang also asks to be cautious, pay attention to hiding your whereabouts and preserving your strength. It's best not to let Liu Feng notice your savings, so that he can send troops with confidence. We must not go head-to-head with them, because the other side also has firearms, and we must give full consideration to this point in battle, so as not to cause our own side a large loss.

Firearms units are slow to reload, and if they can sneak up by surprise, then the fire # gun is no different from a burning stick. Another point is to guard against the other side's thunderbolts. Fire # guns and thunderbolts are one long range and one close range, and when designing, these two points should be fully taken into account, and do not be careless. Guo Youzhi earnestly instructed.

"Thank you Mr. Guo for your advice, I remember it." Huang Xu thanked Guo Youzhi.

"Okay, this matter is settled, let's discuss the route." Liu Houdao.

"When the uncle entered Yizhou from Zigui into Badong, along the Han River, and then stationed in Jiameng Pass, and later through Fucheng, Mianzhu, Guanghan to Chengdu. Could we also follow this route? "Guan Xing mentioned a building at this time, and he said the road map of Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan that year.

Liu Hou walked to the map, followed the route he said with his hand, and said, "It's too far to go this way, and it's a big circle." The difficulty of the Shu road is difficult to go to the blue sky, the road is difficult to travel, and the road is far away, so it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Although we have calculated Sun Quan, Eastern Wu will not be able to send troops for the time being, but Wei has sent troops, and the second and third uncles are under great pressure. We have to do our best to win, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. ”

Guo Youzhi also walked to the map, pointed to the map and said: "The most convenient and fast route is to go up the river, through the Yandao (now Yibin), Jiazhou (now Leshan), and around the river pavilion to enter the river. If you go this way, you can reach Chengdu in less than ten months. It's a pity that Liu Feng held the White Emperor City and blocked the Yangtze River with artillery, and our ships couldn't get up.

However, the current of the river is so rapid that ordinary fishing boats and rafts cannot go upstream, and only a dual-powered boat with sails and propellers like the 'Jingzhou' can fight against the current and go upstream. ”

Everyone was also saddened, all along, the Hong army was invincible, but I didn't expect to encounter an impenetrable fortress just after the battle this time, in fact, this was a great blow to morale. Before Guo Youzhi could continue, Zhang Bao suddenly had an idea and said:

"I once heard Adou say......" At this time, Guan Xing pulled a corner of him and gave him a look.

Zhang Bao didn't understand the meaning of his eyes at all, his eyes widened, he looked at Guan Xing and said, "What, why are you pulling my clothes?" ”

"Uh......" Guan Xing was speechless, so he had to say clearly, "If you want to call your majesty, you can't call Adou." ”

Liu Hou has already been proclaimed emperor, and the emperor has the majesty of an emperor, so Guo Youzhi specially talked to these two brothers and Zhang Xingcai, asking them not to be so casual in their titles in the future. In the past, when Liu Hou was still the crown prince, they all called Liu Hou "Adou" or "Little Adou", but now that he has become the emperor, it is obviously inappropriate to call him like this.

However, Zhang Bao was obviously not used to this change, so he called 'Adou' out again.

"Oh, oh, that's right, it's Majesty." Zhang Bao hurriedly changed his words.

"His Majesty is wise and wise. He once said that the strongest fortresses in the world are often breached from within. Are we trying to find a way to break through the White Emperor City from within? Zhang Bao slapped Liu Hou on the back.

All eyes brushed on Zhang Bao again. Originally, he had given up his plan to continue attacking White Emperor City, but now he was discussing the question of how to detour, and this Zhang Bao turned the topic back here, which was really a bit unreliable.

Hearing Zhang Bao's words, a glimmer of hope rose in Liu Hou's heart, and he called the liaison officer of the "CIA" to ask him about the situation of the "CIA" in the White Emperor City. This liaison took out a roster and flipped through it for a long time before he found the page of White Emperor City.

Liu Hou couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw it. The CIA's work focused on Wei and Wu and the border cities bordering them. Cities like White Emperor City, which used to belong to the mainland, often had only one liaison stationed there.

These liaison officers are usually responsible for collecting some social conditions and public opinions, and if there are local tyrants and shoddy gentry who oppress and exploit the people, officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, and there are big thieves and bandits who commit adultery and the local government does not deal with them in a timely manner, causing the people's resentment to boil, they will also report the situation. This liaison is a bit of a monitor of the imperial history.

These liaison officers usually disguise themselves as ordinary people, usually the owners of restaurants and restaurants, so that they can easily find out the news. They have no power in the city, and they only have a few cooks, how do you let them cooperate with you inside and outside when they attack the city, how do you seize the city gate and let your army enter the city?

What's more, now that the four gates of the White Emperor City are closed, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, Liu Hou can't get in touch with the people in the city at all. Now it's not a martial arts movie, where is there that kind of flying eaves and walking on the wall, and even the city wall can run up the master master and master master after a few rubs, as soon as the city gate is closed, the city and the outside of the city are basically cut off.

"Well, it would have been a good plan, but unfortunately we didn't think of it before. If we had thought earlier, we could have set up in advance and let more people sneak into the city and wait for the opportunity to act. It's too late now, Liu Feng will inevitably close the city gates, and our people won't be able to blend in, so there will be no possibility of attacking from the inside. Forget it, let's think about how to take a detour into Shu. Liu Houyi said happily.
