Chapter 235: Empty City, Medium Plan

The sky was dark, the moonlight shrouded the earth, the moon hung high, and the ground below was unobstructed, only an endless desolation.

Who would have thought that tonight would be so long, and in just one or two hours, Da Liang Kyoto was still worried about the attack of the Rong soldiers.

It was only a long time, and as Su Qi'an took Hangu Pass, the attack and the Tongguan defenders converged, and the battlefield situation was reversed in an instant.

directly repelled the Darong Wolf Legion, and the situation between the two sides instantly returned to a stalemate.

And taking advantage of the retreat of the enemy, Su Qi'an led tens of thousands of troops in Tongguan to assemble in an instant and launch a counterattack.

The soft moonlight poured down, and the endless desolate land below was instantly filled with countless figures galloping.

They were wearing armor and had no words, but when they ran wildly, they exuded a solemn aura, which made people dare not approach.

These soldiers, like a giant dragon, only rushed forward, and the speed was very fast, and along the way, there was a cloud of flying dust behind them.

Su Qi'an, who was the leader, sat on horseback and led an army of more than 30,000 people, galloping all the way.

According to their speed, at most a stick of incense will be able to reach Juyong Pass.

With an army of more than 30,000, it is still a little difficult to arrive together, after all, each branch of the army is different, and the speed of marching is also different.

The fastest runner was naturally the cavalry unit led by Su Qi'an, who, as the vanguard, was also responsible for reconnaissance tasks.

Fortunately, along the way, there were no ambushes and sneak attacks.

The number of Su Qi'an's cavalry troops is not large, only about 5,000 people, but these 5,000 people are definitely not something that ordinary lone honored soldiers can provoke.

And in their rear, about a dozen miles away, is their follow-up troops.

The two sides are very close, and no matter what happens to the vanguard force, or the enemy attack of the large army in the rear, the two sides can quickly converge and gather.

Su Qi'an was not worried about the sneak attack and ambush, but was quite looking forward to it, and he wished that Yamuli would leave his troops behind and ambush them.

In this way, he can also have a good fight with Amurai, but as a master of battlefield maneuvering.

In the terrain where there is no way to hide their whereabouts, they arrange for soldiers to ambush and engage the opposing army, which is not in line with the fighting style of a mobile master.

This kind of fighting directly based on the strength of each other, without relying on any terrain and city passes, is a very stupid way of fighting.

Fighting a war is not so simple and straightforward, but it is necessary to use troops flexibly, and never fight to the death.

Su Qi'an, who has read the military theory books written by the instructors, can quite understand this.

This time, he took 5,000 cavalry and went on a long-distance expedition, just to find out the bottom of this famous general.

Running like this, Su Qi'an's five thousand cavalry finally stopped less than four or five miles away from Juyong Pass.

After walking a mile or two, you will reach the sight and reconnaissance range of Juyong Pass, and no movement can escape the eyes of the defenders of Juyong Pass.

Su Qi'an didn't plan to rush up directly at this time, but planned to send a small force to harass and tempt.

In order to probe the strength of the various checkpoints of the Juyong Pass garrison, if he is not fooled, Su Qi'an will not suffer, it can be a kind of harassment.

It is more of a psychological deterrent, and then, after sending a few small troops from both sides of the city wall can not be bypassed.

No matter how cautious Su Qi'an is, after all, he is responsible for the more than 30,000 soldiers under him.

And more importantly, as he gradually approached Juyong Pass, Su Qi'an keenly found that the front seemed to be too quiet.

This kind of quietness is so unusual, even if there is an ambush in Amurai, or if there is really no guard at all, everyone sleeps, but it is impossible to be so quiet.

This kind of quietness is like the Juyong Pass in front of it is an empty city, which makes Su Qi'an's heart tighten.

He didn't think much about it, waved his hand, and in an instant, under the cover of night, several cavalry squads, each very far apart, walked towards the front of Juyong Pass.

At the same time, several other cavalry squads dismounted directly, took off their armor, and put them on

The nightwalk quietly disappeared into the vast night.

Su Qi'an sat on the horse's back, staring ahead, holding the horse rope with both hands, patiently waiting for the news ahead.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, about a quarter of an hour passed, and the darkness ahead did not move for a minute.

It stands to reason that at this juncture, even the defenders of Juyong Pass turned a blind eye to the cavalry squad heading towards them in order not to reveal their position.

But it's impossible that there is no movement at all, which is too calm.

Su Qi'an's heart tensed, his eyes flickered, and not long after, the darkness ahead suddenly sounded a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

Several cavalry squads sent out returned one after another, and none of them were injured, so it can be said that all of them returned.

Looking at the returning cavalry squad, Su Qi'an seemed to have a prejudgment in his heart, and without waiting for the cavalry squad to reply, Su Qi'an's voice sounded.

"Juyongguan is an empty city!"

The soldiers of the cavalry squad looked at Su Qi'an, and then nodded solemnly, "The commander-in-chief is right, Juyongguan is an empty city, there is no shadow of half of the honored soldiers in it, not even the wounded soldiers, these are still told by the new army who touched the sentry."

"Now they're searching the city, let's go back to the commander-in-chief."

Su Qi'an nodded and said directly, "Let's go, let's take a look!"

As soon as the horse rope was tightened, Su Qi'an's five thousand cavalry did not hesitate and quickly walked towards the Juyong Pass in front.

When Su Qi'an came to the gate of Juyong Pass, the new army that had entered the sentry in advance had already opened the gate, and Su Qi'an and a group of people rushed into Juyong Pass.

The new army, which had touched the sentry in advance, was already waiting for Su Qi'an in the city, and when he saw Su Qi'an come in, a big man led by him said, "With the command, after our investigation, there is no one in Juyong Pass, it is a real empty city."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the rear were a little commotion, and their faces were full of doubt.

Such a large city has 10,000 defenders in the city itself, plus the army of Amulei and other troops who retreated to Juyongguan, there are more than 30,000 people in total.

So many people, it's only been a few hours, right under their noses, and they just disappeared? Evaporated out of thin air? They couldn't believe it.

You must know that the withdrawal of Yamulei and the return of troops to Juyong Pass were confirmed by the defenders of Hangu Pass.

The main task of Hangu Pass is to monitor Juyongguan's every move.

After taking Hangu Pass, Su Qi'an was worried that the defenders of Juyong Pass would try to attack Hangu Pass, or Yamulei's withdrawal would also attack Hangu Pass.

And they did exactly that, and after the withdrawal of the wolf army from Tongguan, the wolf army of Yamulei quickly turned to Hangu Pass.

They did not storm onslaught, but tried to harass, and each time they sent no more than a thousand troops, just to consume the soldiers of Hangu Pass.

This attrition lasted for half an hour, and finally Amurai withdrew his army and headed in the direction of Juyong Pass.

These are all the garrisons of Hangu Pass, and there are detailed records in the military reports sent to Su Qi'an.

After receiving an important reminder from Su Qi'an, Song Biao and Er Meng, who stayed in Hangu Pass, focused on them from the cliff of the back city wall.

Yamurai's harassment, he really sent several other teams of surprise attack soldiers to try to attack from the cliff in the back mountain, but because of preparation, Yamurai's surprise attack did not achieve good results, and finally withdrew.

But how long has they been withdrawing, not to mention them, along with the Juyong Pass defenders, they are gone.

This really puzzled everyone, even Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, thinking.

His mind was like a movie, quickly passing over the previous battles, and reviewing the contents of the military newspaper little by little.

This silence lasted for half a burnt incense, and Su Qi'an seemed to think of something, and said directly to Su Yong behind him, "Quick, bring the military report sent to me by Biaozi and Er Meng." Look at the book

Su Yong didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got a military report from his subordinates and handed it to Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an's gaze quickly passed from the military newspaper

Again, it seemed that he was looking for something, and after reading the general's report back and forth several times, Su Qi'an's frowning brows finally stretched.

He said softly, "Yamu Lei is worthy of being a master of maneuvering, he didn't think about attacking Hangu Pass at the beginning, but in the name of attacking, he made Biaozi and them unable to pull away, I think at that time, the 10,000 defenders of Juyong Pass were transferred away."

"When the defenders of Juyong Pass withdrew, Yamulei's wolf legion deliberately went to Juyong Pass in front of Biaozi, Biaozi's troops were not many, and it was impossible to send troops to follow, so it was natural to think that Yamulei's army and the defenders of Juyong Pass had converged."

Hearing Su Qi'an say this, the faces of the people who were still a little commotion just now were full of shock.

It is really awesome to be able to wipe out tens of thousands of troops silently, and until now, I don't know where it is.

Shocked to shocked, but they didn't quite understand Amurai's intention to do this, Juyongguan was a flat horse.

But with the strength in his hands and the thick walls of Juyong Pass, he still has the ability to resist them.

Even if Juyong Pass is breached, their casualties must be not small, and there is no need to directly abandon Juyong Pass, this defensive wall.

Now without the protection of Juyong Pass, won't Yamulei's tens of thousands of troops become turtles in the urn?

"Commander-in-chief, did you say that the wolf army of Amurai would know that they had failed to attack the city and that they would not have a good chance next time, so they would withdraw their troops."

At this time, someone asked.

Su Qi'an also wanted to admit this result, but unfortunately, with his opinion of Yamulei, if nothing else, he said that he was a master of maneuvering, which was not in line with his style of leading troops at all.

His tens of thousands of troops disappeared like this, and there was no withdrawal, unless.

Su Qi'an thought of something in an instant, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "It's not good, we have been tricked, Yamuli gave up Juyong Pass, not to withdraw the army, but to Tongguan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces also changed, if the shock just now was only out of the swiftness of Yamure's action, then this time, it was because of his boldness.

The style of acting really can't be guessed by ordinary people, and there is really a comparison with their commander-in-chief.
