Chapter 33 The Occasion of Death and Death II
"Tell the marshal, just now my 200,000 horses attacked for only one hour, at least more than 50,000 people were killed, and more than 30,000 soldiers were missing, and they did not return to the camp, and they may have been swallowed by various hidden weapons on Xiewang Mountain. In desperation, his subordinates could only withdraw their troops and try to counter them. At present, according to the spies, one of the main divisions of the Seventh Army and the remnants of the Sixtieth Army are on Xiewang Mountain. In addition, according to the information that has just been detected, the Beihai Kingdom has stationed a reinforced regiment of troops in Xiewang Mountain itself, with no less than three thousand troops. In this way, the Beihai army on the entire Xiewang Mountain is about 15,000 people. Not long ago, the last general stormed Jianzhu Peak with a million people, and it took three days and four nights to take a division after the Seventh Army was broken. This shows the strength of the Seventh Army's combat effectiveness. Moreover, Xiewang Mountain is a logistics supply base for the Beihai Army, equipped with the wooden door bed crossbow, the legendary artifact of the wooden gate, which poses a great threat to our attacking troops. Therefore, in the short term, the cost of breaking through Xiewang Mountain must be very heavy. Combined with the current battlefield situation, Subutai analyzed it carefully.
Chahe frowned, and then said categorically: "Military Division, from the perspective of the terrain, our army has opened the road to the Crescent River Valley, and the three passes and eleven cities on the periphery have also fallen into my hands, and there is no longer a threat on the flanks. Although this Xiewang Mountain is a hard bone, for now, it is insignificant to the entire battle situation. Therefore, the commander's opinion was to encircle Xiewang Mountain without fighting, and the main force immediately advanced to the Crescent River valley and took the Feiyu Pass, the core defense point of its front, as quickly as possible, so as to create favorable conditions for our cavalry troops to cross the river safely. ”
"Kuhler was in favor of the marshal's strategy. Baitu Changkuler said.
Subutai pondered for a moment and reminded: "Marshal, Caoyi Valley is only more than seventy miles away from Feiyu Pass. At present, our army has only 40,000 pro-troops of the commander guarding there. Besides, I'm afraid that those blood mines have also been seen by the defenders of Flying Fish Pass, presumably the Menglan Legion stationed in the Crescent River Valley at this time should have been alert. Therefore, his subordinates thought that the surprise attack was useless, and suggested that General Kuler immediately lead the cavalry to Caoyi Valley and set up camp outside the valley to prevent the Beihai army from counterattacking. And Marshal, you will lead the main force of our legion to Feiyu Pass. However, after arriving at the Flying Fish Pass, the marshal needs to cheat to death. ”
Before Su Butai's voice fell, Cha He stood up without a brush, angrily pointed at Su Butai's nose and scolded: "What are you cheating? Su Butai, what do you want to do with this handsome? If you don't do it, you'll really die!"
Su Butai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "The marshal is angry, the marshal is angry." Subutai has no intention of assassinating the marshal. The so-called fraudulent death is actually to create conditions for a surprise attack on Feiyu Pass. ”
"Oh? Didn't you just say that the raid was useless, then why did you say now that you want to create conditions for the raid?
"Huh. Subutai stood up, smiled a few times, and said, "Marshal, there is indeed no chance of a surprise attack. But there's no chance to create one. The wounding of the marshal is now known to the whole army. Therefore, the subordinates wanted to use this matter to confuse the defenders of Feiyu Pass. When the marshal arrived at Feiyu Pass, you scolded Sun Yaoguang's ancestors for eight generations, especially the fact that you were bombarded by blood thunder, you must be scolded vividly. Of course, about this swearing, the subordinates will think about it for you. After scolding, you led your troops to attack the city, pretending to be wounded, and fell from your horse. Then, his subordinates announced that the marshal had relapsed from the lightning strike and died, and the three armies had dressed you in linen and filial piety, and retreated to the vicinity of Caoyi Valley. At that time, the defenders of Feiyu Pass will inevitably relax their vigilance after learning that the commander of the Shangdang Legion, Cha and Buhua, have died. And secretly, Marshal, you secretly led the death squad to attack Feiyu Pass at night. After the success, General Kuler immediately led the cavalry troops to the Flying Fish Pass for reinforcements. Naturally, his subordinates will also lead troops to fully support the operation. In this way, the Flying Fish Pass is not at your fingertips. ”
"Hahaha! Well, Ben Shuai generously pretended to be dead and made this immortal achievement. Kuler, hurry up and take your troops to Caoyi Valley to station, and Ben Shuai will be there shortly. ”
"Yes, Marshal!" said Kuller, who then withdrew from the tent.
"Su Butai, leave two hundred troops to surround Xiewang Mountain to Ben Shuai, and don't let out a single ant. In any case, the "Thunder Light" must not be allowed to slip away. After Ben Shuai completely captured the Crescent River Valley, he must personally take Xiewang Mountain and cut off the head of this thunder. Obviously, for Sun Yaoguang, Chahe Buhua has a strong grudge.
"Yes, Marshal. Subutai said proudly, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
