Chapter 323: The Land of Broken Gold
"Chrysostom?"
"Ah, it is the junction of the two mountains, the terrain is very low, the slope is also very gentle, it is not difficult to turn over, but there is the tuyere, usually the mountain wind is very strong, people can't pass at all, only until the middle of each month, the wind will be smaller. ”
After hearing this, Ren Tianxing and Jin Zhuo glanced at each other, these two were famous generals who had seen the world, and their joy and anger were invisible, but at this time, their eyes were full of excitement.
You must know that this information is invaluable to the You Yan coalition army, they can use this place to bypass the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Twin Peaks City, enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom unknowingly, sneak to the back of the Twin Peaks City, and join forces with their own army on the other side, flank the Twin Peaks City, and completely annihilate the main force of the Jin army in the city.
After being silent for three seconds, Ren Tianxing said, "Brother, you take me to see it!"
"Now?"
"Yes, it's now! If it's really as my brother said, there is such a place, I still have a lot of gratitude, if my brother is willing, you can also follow me back to Yanguo, add an official to the knighthood, and be rich and noble for a lifetime!" Now, even if Ren Tianxing makes a heavy promise, he will not hesitate to agree.
The medicine farmer couldn't believe his ears, he was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while.
Under Jin Zhuo's continuous urging, he finally came back to his senses and said in a trembling voice: "But now the wind at the outlet is too strong, and it is difficult for people and animals to approach!"
Ren Tianxing said: "You just take me to see it, it doesn't matter if it's far away, we don't have to enter it." ”
He had nothing to say about the medicine farmer, who stomped his feet and nodded, "Okay, the villain will lead the way for the adults." ”
The medicine farmer went home and prepared for a while, then locked the door of his house and led Ren Tianxing and his party into the ascending mountain on the Jinchi border.
The Ascent Mountain is a continuous mountain range. Composed of countless mountain peaks, Chaoyang Village is located at the foot of the mountain, and it is not far north into the mountains.
The mountains are so big that when you enter them, you are surrounded by mountains as far as the eye can see. In addition to the mountain peaks are dense forests, if you are not familiar with the terrain here, anyone who comes in will turn around, and you can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
The medicine farmer obviously often goes in and out of this place, and he is familiar with the road in the mountains and forests, and the road he chooses is also very easy to walk.
The medicine farmer walked in front, and Ren Tianxing and the others rode slowly behind, walking for more than an hour, and the medicine farmer stopped. said: "My lord, I have to climb the mountain ahead, and I can't ride a horse anymore." ”
Ren Tianxing was also obedient, and ordered all his men to dismount, tied the horses to the edge of the mountain forest, and then followed the medicine farmer on foot to the deep mountains.
The medicine farmer took them through a mountain col, and the ground was full of gravel and sharp edges. Many of the Yan Army guards walked down, and the armor on their bodies made many dents.
The medicine farmer turned around in the col. Finally came out, had to climb the mountain, and had to cross the mountain, so after walking for more than two hours, the medicine farmer finally stopped.
He gasped and pointed ahead, and said to Ren Tianxing behind him, "My lord." There is the broken Chrysostom, out of the broken Chrysostom, it is the north side of the ascending mountain, and it is also the territory of the Jin Kingdom. ”
Ren Tianxing is not a general, and he is also a strong martial artist. But even he was tired and sweating profusely all the way down.
In this place where the medicine farmer stopped, the mountain wind was cold, piercing the bone marrow, scraping on the face, like countless small knives, making people feel hot and stinging.
He raised his eyes in the direction of the medicine farmer's finger, and in the distance, there was a big mountain, and there was a col between the two mountains, which must be what the medicine farmer said about breaking the golden mouth.
At such a distance, you can already feel the strong mountain wind, and if you get close, it is estimated that people will be blown away. But fortunately, the mountain wind will stop in the middle of the month, and this is where you can break through the pass of the Jin Kingdom.
This place is wonderful, the name is even more wonderful, the mouth of breaking gold, doesn't this just indicate that it is the mouth of breaking gold given by God to you?
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but smile on his back.
Jin Zhuo was also happy, walked to Ren Tianxing's side, and said: "General, with this broken golden mouth, it is easy for us to enter the golden land, it is now the beginning of the month, there are still a few days before the middle of the month, we have to prepare quickly." ”
"En!" Ren Tianxing nodded and said to the medicine farmer, "Brother still has a family?"
"No!" said the medicine farmer, shaking his head.
"Okay, my brother doesn't have to go home again, follow me back to the barracks, and when the moon is in the middle, my brother will take us here again, after the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, my brother will be the hero of our country, and the king of my family will reward my brother." Ren Tianxing said with a smile.
Now, the medicine farmer can only act according to the meaning of Ren Fang, he sighed and said, "The villain will rely on you in the future." ”
"Haha, brother, don't worry, I'll do what I say. ”
Ren Tianxing and Jin Zhuo withdrew from the mountains with the medicine farmers and returned to the barracks.
It was morning when they left the camp, and when they returned, it was evening.
Returning to the camp of the You Yan coalition army, Ren Tianxing personally arranged a camp tent for the medicine farmer, and sent someone to 'take care' of him.
As soon as he came in, he saw Chu Chen pacing back and forth in the tent.
Ren Tianxing knew why he came, but pretended not to know, walked back to his handsome position, sat down cross-legged, and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong with General Chu?"
Chu Chen saw that Ren Tianxing was full of smiles, and he didn't mean to be angry, but he was a little overwhelmed.
He specially explained to Chu Chen about sending troops to hunt and kill the people of the Red Kingdom in the morning, but he waited for him all day and did not come back until the evening.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Chen said, "Ren Shuai, what happened in the morning ......"
"What happened this morning, don't happen again in the future!" Ren Tianxing said with a pleasant face: "The attitude of the Red Kingdom is very important to our army, once the Red Country is annoyed and suddenly uses force against our army, I wonder if General Chu has considered the consequences of this?"
Chu Chen sneered and said, "It's just a few villagers, it's just a big deal that we can accompany Chi Guo for some money." ”
Ren Tianxing sighed and said, "Taking a step back, even if the Red Kingdom doesn't blame us, it is not benevolent and righteous to indiscriminately kill civilians and innocents. ”
"Ren Shuai, at this time, benevolence and righteousness are the benevolence of women! You and I have millions of people, but they are blocked by Shuangfeng City from the Jin Kingdom, and the amount of grain and grass consumed every day is astronomical, and if there is no progress, the morale of the whole army will be worn out, and if the lives of a few people in the Red Kingdom can be exchanged for the victory of our army, it will be worth it. ”
"Even if we don't kill them, without your plague tactics, our army can win. Ren Tianxing said.
"En?" Chu Chen was stunned, looked at Ren Tianxing blankly, and asked puzzledly, "How can Ren Shuai say this?"
Ren Tianxing smiled, and told Chu Chen about the fact that he was so guided by the medicine farmers and found the broken Jinkou, and then said: "General Chu, when the wind of the Jinkou breaks in the middle of the month, our army can bypass Shuangfeng City and directly break into the territory of Jinguo, and then take Shuangfeng City, it is easy to take Shuangfeng City, even if they are trapped, they can be trapped alive in the city!"
"Ah, is there such a thing?" "Can you enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom without passing through Twin Peaks City?" This news was too sudden for Chu Chen, as if a big pie fell from the sky and smashed on his head, making him fall into a state of astonishment, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
One person or one thing can often change the pattern of a war.
If it weren't for Ren Tianxing's good intentions, it would be impossible to find a medicine farmer who was familiar with the terrain of the ascending mountain, and if he hadn't found this medicine farmer, the situation of the war would have been completely different.
Now that the You Yan coalition army has mastered the shortcut to enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom, the balance of victory is also tilted in favor of the You Yan coalition army.
That night, the generals of the two armies of You Yan gathered in the Chinese military tent to discuss the next attack.
According to the meaning of the generals of the Yan Army, since they can enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom, the plague tactics of the You Army to exterminate humanity can also be stopped.
But the generals of the You Army with Chu Chen as the leader are resolutely opposed, and now they are only one step away from success, let them stop, how can they agree?
Chu Chen pointed out that even if his own army could go around the back of Twin Peaks, cut off the supply of the Jin army, and flank the Twin Peaks City in front and back, allowing the plague to spread in Twin Peaks City would still greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Jin army and greatly reduce the resistance to one's own attack.
In this matter, the reason why the Yan army opposed it was mostly out of moral opposition, and in the end, seeing You Jun's tough attitude, people stopped arguing and agreed to You Jun's plague tactics in a tacit manner.
As for the number of troops that entered the territory of Jin through the breaking of Jinkou, there was another dispute between You Yan and the two sides.
Ren Tianxing felt that it was better for his side and the You army to send 50,000 troops each, if they sent too many troops, it would be easy to be exposed, and it would not have the effect of surprising victory, and Shuangfeng City was a strong city defense in the south, and there was no defense in the north, and 100,000 people were enough.
Chu Chen's thinking was completely different from Ren Tianxing's, he felt that breaking the golden mouth was a godsend, and it would be too wasteful to only take Twin Peaks.
What he meant was that the You army sent 250,000 troops, the Yan army sent 50,000 troops, the two armies attacked Shuangfeng City with 100,000 people, and the other 200,000 You troops drove straight into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom and directly took the Jin capital Wancheng.
