Chapter 184: Disappearing Out of Thin Air
The commander of the 200,000 cavalry sent by Hua'an is named Guan Shan, a general under him, brave and unparalleled, and a great grandmaster. Hua An also summoned thirteen grandmasters from nearby for him, and there were more grandmasters coming over later.
The task given to him by Hua'an is to drag the Tiger Roaring Army at all costs, and not let the Tiger Roaring Army return to Southern Chu. As long as the Tiger Roaring Army does not take the initiative to break through, then intercept it. If you want to break through, then fight to the death.
Guan Shan arrived near the Dark Cloud Mountains more than a day later, and according to the spies' report, the Tiger Roaring Army never came out after entering the Dark Cloud Mountains. However, the specific situation has not been clarified, and the Tiger Roaring Army has been cleaning up the scouts, but two scouts were lucky enough to sneak in, and found that the Tiger Roaring Army was camped halfway up the mountain and set up defenses.
As long as he didn't run, Guan Shan didn't care. The longer the Tiger Roaring Army was stationed in the Wuyun Mountains, the happier Guan Shan became. The order he received was only to intercept, not to annihilate the Tiger Roaring Army. He didn't dare to be careless about this Tiger Roaring Army, after all, Yuan Hao's 200,000 army was almost completely wiped out.
More than ten miles away from the Wuyun Mountains, he stopped at a hill and began to set up camp. He wasn't going to attack the mountain, as long as the Tiger Roaring Army didn't leave, he would always be here waiting. Wait for Zhang Fengming's army of Eastern Qi to come over, and wait for more grandmasters to be mobilized.
It's very easy to set up camp, and it can be done in half a day. After the stabilization, Guan Shan immediately sent a large number of scouts, and he gave a death order to figure out the military deployment of Southern Chu at all costs. In addition, it was also summoned to the intelligence organization Longtang of the Great Zhou, so that Longtang could monitor a radius of thousands of miles.
He was afraid that the Tiger Roaring Army would secretly Chen Cang, so he had to make sure that the Tiger Roaring Army was still on the mountain, as long as it was in the Dark Cloud Mountains, then it didn't matter how the Tiger Roaring Army played.
A large number of scouts were sent out, and feedback was quickly available. Those scouts will be killed once they get close to the Dark Cloud Mountains, and the Tiger Roaring Army has arranged a lot of sergeants and masters on the periphery to hunt and kill scouts, and the Dark Cloud Mountains can't get close.
Guan Shan was not in a hurry, and continued to send scouts to investigate, while waiting for the intelligence feedback from Longtang's side. In the middle of the night, there was feedback from the Dragon Hall, and there was no trace of the army in a radius of thousands of miles.
Guan Shan is relieved!
Since the Tiger Roaring Army has not left, it can only be in the Dark Cloud Mountains. No matter what kind of moths the Tiger Roaring Army is doing inside, they are all unable to fly, Zhang Fengming's army is only a day or two away from here, Zhang Fengming has an army of 400,000, and there are many grandmasters in the army. Guan Shan was going to wait for Zhang Fengming to come and let him attack, and he would just watch the play on the side. Anyway, no matter who fights it, as long as he destroys the Tiger Roaring Army, he will be a great achievement.
He didn't take it lightly, and kept sending a large number of scouts to monitor him, and he sat leisurely in the handsome camp, waiting to watch the play.
......
The information on the arrival of the Guanshan army, Li Yunyi and they already knew.
Zhuge Jian Lu Guanhou They are very anxious, they have been in the Wuyun Mountain Range for two or three days, and the time has been delayed for a long time, and if they continue to drag on, they are afraid that Zhang Fengming's army will come.
But Li Yunyi didn't make any moves, just let Zhuge Jian's army continue to cut down trees to make rafts, and at the same time, he also let many cavalrymen run around on the mountains on horseback, running all over half the mountain, and he didn't know what he was doing.
At night, Zhuge Jian couldn't help it, they gathered together and went to Li Yunyi's handsome camp. Before he entered, he met a general of the Huya Army, and he arched his hand and said: "The generals are just in time, and the generals and military advisors are invited." β
"Oh?"
Zhuge Jian and the others looked happy, is Li Yunyi finally going to act? They hurriedly walked in, Xiong Jun and Li Yunyi were sitting inside, and Gonggong Fu and Jiang Xiaocian were standing on both sides. After everyone saluted, they all looked at Li Yunyi, waiting for his order.
Feng Wuchen is no longer here, everyone is only polite to Xiong Jun on the surface, and they don't recognize this general in their hearts. On the contrary, Li Yunyi and the others all thought that Ye Xiangfo was the person who was the actual leader of the Tiger Roaring Army, and everyone had some respect and admiration for Li Yunyi along the way, and was willing to listen. In addition, Li Yunyi has a faint commanding temperament, which makes everyone feel at ease, and they are used to subconsciously obeying his orders during this time.
"Here we are. β
Li Yunyi smiled and said: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, it may rain tonight, this rain is our east wind, let's act tonight, whether we can go back to Nanchu smoothly depends on our luck." β
When the generals saw the confident light in Li Yunyi's eyes, they were all shocked in their hearts, and they all bowed down and said, "Please give the order to the military advisor!"
"Give the order first, bury the pot and cook, then recuperate, and be ready to go to war at any time at night!" Li Yunyi waved his hand and said: "The specific arrangement, let's talk about it after nightfall." All the mysteries will be solved tonight. β
"Whoa!"
The generals retreated, each went back and set up, the army had a beautiful meal, and the horses were fed. Then the whole army rested and waited for nightfall.
At dusk, it was about to rain, the sky became very dark, the visibility was very low, and the atmosphere was very dreary. Li Yunyi ordered all the troops to pull out the camp and go to the place where Zhuge Jian cut trees to make rafts in the north of the Wuyun Mountains.
Zhuge Jian, Lu Guanhou and the others all sank in their hearts, Li Yunyi wouldn't really go crazy and leave on a raft with hundreds of thousands of troops, right? Although a lot of rafts were made, it was a little difficult for 300,000 troops to squeeze on, let alone war horses.
If you want to ride on a raft, all the horses must be left behind. They left on a raft to cover up the news for the night, and they were sure to be discovered early the next morning.
Just kidding, this is the boundary of the Great Zhou, there are scouts everywhere, hundreds of thousands of troops have to ride tens of thousands of rafts, what a spectacular and eye-catching scene is that? I'm afraid that the rafts will be dozens of miles long, right?
Once discovered, the Great Zhou army and Zhang Fengming's army chased after them on war horses, and they could catch up in a day at most. Without war horses, they can only become lambs to the slaughter, and eventually stay in the land of Dazhou.
"Zhuge Sword!"
After arriving below, Li Yunyi ordered: "Let your army push the raft into the water, and then pile the raft with branches, and every ten rafts are connected together, and the ten rafts send one person to control." β
"Forehead ......"
Zhuge Jian didn't understand, and Princess Yunfei Lu Guanhou was even more confused. The raft is full of branches? How can you transport people? Only one person is needed for ten rafts? Li Yunyi has made the 100,000 army work hard for a day or two, is this a joke?
Although Zhuge Jian didn't understand, he didn't ask much and carried out the order. The raft has been made, and the branches are all over the place, so just put down the water and tie it up. Soon rows of rafts entered the water, and Li Yunyi did not let the rafts that entered the water first move, and let people pull them with ropes.
After waiting for half an hour, more than 10,000 rafts had been laid. Li Yunyi ordered the raft in front of him to go first, and at the same time, Li Yunyi said with a deep sigh: "Father-in-law Fu, Jiang Xiaochan, General Ding should act according to the plan." β
"Good!"
Gonggong Fu and Jiang Xiaocian both took the order and left, and soon the blood wolf cavalry was dispatched and divided into two teams, half of which rushed along the river on the left, and the other half went to a bridge not far away. Rounding the other side of the river, and also rushing along the river, Jiang Xiaocian and Fu Gonggong sat in the two blood wolf cavalry respectively.
"This ......"
Everyone was even more confused, what did Li Yunyi send the Blood Wolf Cavalry to do? And sent two grandmasters? Down the river? Is this to escort these rafts?
A large number of rafts kept going into the water, and after waiting for an hour again, all the rafts were in the water. Some of Zhuge Jian's sergeants also drifted downstream with the raft, and Li Yunyi's order to these sergeants was to turn around and follow the blood wolf cavalry. There are not many of these sergeants, only thousands, but Zhuge Jian is not distressed, and it doesn't matter if he loses them all.
"Strategist, what are you?"
Zhuge Jian just didn't understand what Li Yunyi meant by doing this. The rest of the people also didn't understand, there were big question marks written on their heads, Li Yunyi didn't explain, and waved his hand and said: "The whole army obeys the order, goes up the mountain in batches, and walks according to the footprints of the mountain, don't step on new footprints." Don't worry, I'll explain it to you later. β
The generals could only mobilize their own troops to go up the mountain in batches, and after arriving at the previous camp, Li Yunyi did not let the army stop. Instead, let the army continue up the hill and climb to the top. It is better to go up the mountain in batches, because there are many footprints that have been stepped on before, but there will be no new footprints.
The Uyun Mountains are so named because of their high altitude and the fact that the summit is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. After arriving at the top of the mountain, the army was covered with white fog on all sides, and the visibility was even lower, and it could only look down on the distance of ten meters around it.
"Boom~"
The sky was finally raining, and it was stormy. Li Yunyi asked the army to rest under a boulder on the top of the mountain, and the whole army was not encamped, Li Yunyi asked the sergeant to put all the war horses in their mouths to prevent them from making sounds.
"Let the scout battalion go out and withdraw all the scouts and outposts on the periphery, and don't leave any of them behind. β
Li Yunyi ordered again, and after Zhuge Jian and the others gave the order, they vaguely guessed Li Yunyi's thoughts in their hearts, and they looked at each other a few times, but they were all a little speechless.
Divert the tiger from the mountain and hide from the sky and cross the sea?
Li Yunyi wanted to use the raft to create an illusion that Guan Shan would think that they had left on the raft? And then lead Guan Shan's army to chase after them along the river? As soon as the army left, there would be no army in the south, and they could run all the way into the territory of Nanchu?
It seems that the Blood Wolf Battalion is indeed going to guard the raft, and the role of the Blood Wolf Battalion should be to clear the scouts on both sides of the Tianyun River and ensure that the army on the raft is fake if it is discovered in a short time? The Blood Wolf Battalion does not need to cover up for too long, one or two days is enough.
At first glance, this may seem like a clever strategy, but it has a fatal problem!
An army of 300,000 is not 300, 300. Hiding on the top of the mountain, Guan Shan, as a veteran, how could he be so easily deceived? He would definitely send a large number of scouts to search, as long as any scout reached the top of the mountain, the 300,000 troops here could hide it?
"It's not rightβ"
Lu Guanhou's eyes shrank suddenly, he remembered one thing, when he attacked Dongqi Linyi City before, there was a strange thing.
Gonggong Fu hid in the Vulture Mountain Range with an army of 10,000 flowers, and the scouts in Linyi City didn't notice it at all, could it be that Li Yunyi could do it this time? Let the 300,000 army disappear out of thin air?
