Chapter 220: Attacking Hangu after the rear
Once the two passes of Juyong and Hangu are occupied, it is equivalent to directly blocking Yamulei's army in the middle.
When the time comes, the front and back will be flanked, dragged to the states to come with reinforcements, and directly come to an urn to catch turtles, and it will be difficult for Yamurai to run.
Now they are silently lurking, directly cutting off all contact with the outside world, no one knows their whereabouts, and now they are a strange army.
If you can take it by surprise and directly win the two levels that have been captured, it can be said that you can turn the tide of the battle in an instant.
Thinking of this, their eyes were full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to immediately receive the task and set off directly.
Song Biao hurriedly asked, "Sir, give an order, where do we surprise first?"
"Of course, it is the flat Juyong Pass, although the defenders in the city reach 10,000 people, but we can send a team, grab a few tongues, and then infiltrate in disguise, and make a surprise attack in the future, this Juyong Pass will not be properly taken."
Without waiting for Su Qi'an to speak, Er Meng talked boastfully on the side, don't look at this group of veterans, they are a group of ruffians, and their discipline is not so strict, but they have dealt with Rongbing all year round.
And in the bloody battlefields again and again, how can you survive without some ability.
Among this group of veterans, there are still many people who are quite familiar with the three front-line passes.
As long as they are given a direction, they can put forward their own opinions, which is why Su Qi'an chose them.
"At the critical moment, I didn't see it, Mengzi, you still have this brain, yes, I mean the same thing, Mr. give an order."
Looking at the eager eyes of the two, Su Qi'an shook his head with a smile, and said directly, "Mengzi's strategy is okay, but don't forget, we are a surprise army, so this time we will not fight Juyong Pass, but Hangu."
"Hanya?" The two were a little surprised.
The defenders of Hangu Pass were more than half of those of Juyong Pass, only more than 2,000 people, but his terrain was extremely dangerous and was built on a towering mountain peak.
There is only one road ahead, which is a valley, and the people in Hangu Pass, by virtue of the height of the terrain, can observe any wind and grass in the valley.
All around him, behind him, were towering cliffs, and it was basically impossible to climb over them.
Because of this, Hangu Pass can be attacked and retreated, even if there are only a few thousand people and horses, but it can personally block tens of thousands of horses.
Because of the importance of Hangu Pass, every time it is mentioned, the magnates who were killed have to be pulled out and scolded.
If it weren't for the loss of Hangu, it wouldn't have made Yamulei so bold and approached Tongguan without any scruples.
With their current 5,000 men, it is very difficult to attack Hangu, and they really can't think of where to start.
"A frontal attack can't be done, so naturally it's from the rear cliff." Su Qi'an said with a smile.
These words once again made many captains led by Song Biao and Er Meng look shocked.
For a while, none of them spoke, looking at the silent crowd, Su Qi said.
"What? Are you scared?"
Song Biao and the others shook their heads and said bluntly, "It's impossible to be afraid of death, but if Mr. wants to go up from the cliff of Hangu, it is impossible, although the cliff of Hangu Pass is not high, it is almost vertical, and with Da Liang's current climbing tools, it can't go up at all."
"Even if you go, I'm afraid that if you can board it, there will be no one in ten, and such a price will be sent to death in vain."
Song Biao said it very bluntly, and he didn't care at all about Su Qi'an's face.
If this were an ordinary person, these words would be a blow to morale, but Su Qi'an still had a smile on his face and looked at Song Biaodao.
"Okay, then I'll make a bet with you, I'll give me the climbing tools, if you can go up..."
"I'll wait for Mr. Su to take the lead." Song Biao, Er Meng and others were also very bold and hugged their fists.
"Okay, that's a deal."
Soon, Su Qi'an gave orders in turn to Song Biao, Er Meng and other more than a dozen lieutenants.
They received orders one after another and acted quickly.
Watching the crowd leave, this
At that time, Su Qi'an turned his head and said to Huang Wenyan beside him.
"Hehe, it seems that the position of this military advisor is quite suitable for you, I gave up and your companions, was recruited by a powerful family, and deliberately followed me to the battlefield to endure hardships, this deal is not cost-effective."
Regarding Su Qi'an's ridicule, Huang Wenyan's face was calm, he shook his head, and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and if they can't force it, following Mr. has always been what I want to do, and if Mr. doesn't help, the top ten jinshi places will not have anything to do with me."
"Now in the face of war, my husband has stepped forward, let alone me."
"Besides, Mr. is hiding it deep enough, Qi'an? Qi An, I'm afraid only Mr. can think of this."
Su Qi'an laughed, to be honest, for Huang Wenyan, Su Qi'an still admires it very much.
In the palace examination, he has already entered the top ten, although in the final second round, it is no surprise that he missed the top three.
But his name is still remembered by many powerful families, and soon, there are big families who solicit him, including many Guogong families.
But Huang Wenyan directly refused, and instead of accepting the solicitation like his companions, he stayed in Kyoto all the time.
In order to just want to meet Su Qi'an, after the last conversation, Huang Wenyan felt more and more that this Mr. Su was the person worthy of his follow.
If it weren't for this war, I'm afraid Huang Wenyan would have to miss it with Su Qi'an.
Knowing that Su Qi'an was going to the front line, Huang Wenyan found him without saying a word, and let Su Qi'an persuade him, Huang Wenyan was determined to follow.
Su Qi'an had no choice but to agree temporarily, went to the front line, marched and fought, but it was very bitter and tested his leg strength very much.
As soon as Huang Wenyan can't keep up, Su Qi'an will repatriate him, but the final result makes Su Qi'an startled.
This Huang Wenyan is really that kind of weak scholar, several times, catching up all the way, those legs, like an iron plate, made some veterans who looked down on them change their views later.
Huang Wenyan's performance in the past two days has also been recognized by Su Qi'an.
After all, a poor family, all the way to the imperial examination, and finally entered the top ten, but there is a great future ahead, give up if you say give up, follow Su Qi'an to endure this hardship, and there is still a danger to your life at any time.
In the eyes of other poor disciples, this is completely faulty and incomprehensible.
There is a contradiction between the poor family and the family, but after all, as long as the family throws an olive branch, most of the children of the poor family will accept it, and they have studied hard for more than ten years.
Where is a nerd like Huang Wenyan, who gives up his fame and fortune and goes to the front line instead, this is not a brain kicked.
Therefore, when Huang Wenyan made this choice, he had already broken off with his group of poor companions.
They don't understand, but Su Qi'an can quite understand that in all dynasties, there will always be a group of people who are for the righteousness of the world, and what they pursue is not fame and fortune.
It is the 10,000 people who have been behind for centuries, and this kind of thinking is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Following Su Qi'an, in Huang Wenyan's heart, he decided that he was a person who could change the general trend of the world.
Only Su Qi'an can accomplish the righteousness in his heart and his ambitions.
Five thousand soldiers began to act one after another, Huang Wenyan looked into the distance, with a little worry on his face, and said.
"Sir, your plan is good, but you left Kyoto and lost contact directly, in this way, there will definitely be gossip in the court, and some people against you will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and when the time comes, I am afraid that if you take Hangu, Your Majesty will definitely say something."
Su Qi'an nodded, "Wen Yan, what you said is not reasonable, I also know that my approach will definitely give a mouthful, but you also know that now that the war is urgent, if every action must be reported, then our amazing army will lose its meaning."
"You also know that blindly passive defense, shrinking back, waiting for others to fight, is not my combat style, as long as I can solve the crisis in Kyoto, let them talk about some gossip, I believe that Your Majesty should know which is more important."
"I'm not worried about the gossip of the DPRK, on the contrary, this famous general Yamulei, his style of play, I can't understand, this person is famous for mobile combat."
"The scouts who were released came to report that in two days, this mobile master was still attacking Tongguan with all his might, this kind of cumbersome style of play is a little too strange."
"Maybe it's because he wants to fight quickly, take Tongguan, and then drive straight in, so mobility can't change the current battle situation, and he can only attack with heavy troops." Huang Wenyan explained.
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and he still shook his head, "I thought the same way at first, but after two days of onslaught, he was so relieved of his back?"
"Although Juyong and Hangu are currently under his control, after all, it has not taken a long time to conquer, and it has not penetrated deep into the hinterland, and there is no half of the mass base, and his siege momentum is completely a strong attack, and he is not worried about someone sneaking up at all, which is really unusual."
"What Mr. means is that this person has other conspiracies, and the attack on Tongguan is fake, but in fact there are other intentions." Huang Wenyan still questioned.
Su Qi'an thought for a long time, and then said, "I don't know, I can't see anything in the current state of affairs, maybe I'm cautious, only by taking Hangu in front of me can I see the other party's next move."
Erasing the doubts in his mind, Su Qi'an came back to his senses, and then did not stop, and Huang Wenyan turned over and got on the horse, and the army of 5,000 people disappeared into the Gobi in the face of the vast wind and sand.
At the same time, Tongguan.
After receiving reinforcements from Kyoto, Tongguan's strength almost reached 40,000.
With the high walls of Tongguan, it was able to go head-to-head with more than 30,000 troops commanded by Yamulei.
It's a shame to say that an army of 40,000 people, and with the high city walls, was beaten by more than 30,000 Darong wolf soldiers, and could only be passively defended.
From this point of view, Da Liang's army is too weak, there is no way, Da Liang's policy has always been to emphasize literature and suppress the military, and now the requirements of the generals are not high, and it is good not to lose the city.
As for actively attacking and risking to go deep alone, they are not Su Qi'an, so bold, one is not good, not to mention that the whole army is annihilated, and they will definitely be punished by His Majesty after the war.
In this kind of atmosphere and thinking, it is no wonder that Da Liang will be invaded by Da Rong every year.
