Chapter 165: Chu Yu's plan
When Wang Gang came to Yanmen Pass, it was already three watches, taking advantage of the hazy moonlight at night, Wang Gang looked at the Yanmen Pass, rows of neat stone houses, which stored a large number of grain, weapons and armor, the woodcutters and people had been transferred by Zhang Liao, and these materials were sent by Zhang Liao.
I think when I first came to Yanmen Pass, there was only a dilapidated checkpoint here, but now it has become a military fortress, there were originally many merchants, resting here at night, because of the Huns' invasion, all the people fled to the south, and there was no one merchant.
Huang Zhong also looked at Yanmen Pass curiously, he had heard of Yanmen Pass, but he had never seen it. Also impressed by the majesty of this level, Yanmen has a total of three city walls, the westernmost city wall is the highest, about seven zhang, the city wall is 100,000 zhang wide, can accommodate 1,000 people to guard the city, build an arrow tower, a military room, a watchtower. There is also a low wall more than three feet high. There were stone stairs on both sides, so that the soldiers could quickly climb the city wall.
Two hundred steps away from the west city wall, there is a three-zhang high city wall, which encloses Yanmen Pass into a small city, where military facilities are generally stored, and ordinary merchants cannot stay here. Outside the middle city wall is a small commercial area, where merchants generally exchange goods, and the houses on both sides are also rented out to merchants, bringing a lot of income to Yanmen Pass. Five miles to the east of Zhongcheng District, is the east city wall built by Wang Gang, after a year of reinforcement, it has been more than five zhang high. It's just that the walls are narrow and can't accommodate too many soldiers.
Zhang Liao did not use these incomes indiscriminately, and they were all piled up in the stone room.
When Fan Chong saw Wang Gang coming, his heart finally let go, and then he reported the situation of the past few days to Wang Gang, and when Wang Gang heard that the casualties exceeded two thousand, his face suddenly darkened.
Several people came to the stone room, the soldiers lit the lamps and candles, and a few big boxes in the corner suddenly aroused Wang Gang's idea, Wang Gang stepped forward to open it, only to see a box full of copper coins, and opened several in a row, and found that it was full of copper coins, and a box of gold, which was enough for hundreds of catties.
"Where did these copper coins come from?"
Wang Gang asked with some puzzlement.
"These should be the tariffs of Yanmen Pass this year, Zhang Taishou stayed here" Fan Chong seemed to remember that Zhang Liao had told him something, he didn't care too much at the time, he didn't expect there to be so much.
"This Zhang Liao"
Wang Gang sighed, and his mood was much better.
"How many more people are there in the Huns"
"More than 10,000 Hun slaughter troops, 7,000 Hun cavalry, days of siege, Hugh Tu soldiers casualties are too large, morale is low, I think it will not take a few days, the Huns will withdraw"
"Then wait for the Huns to withdraw their troops, my handsome cavalry will cover and kill, and the Hun cavalry who will be able to kill will cry and cry for my mother," Wu Zhao hurriedly spoke.
Several people looked at him like idiots, the Huns had 7,000 cavalry, and you had 200 cavalry to cover and kill, what do you think, when defending the city, the Hun cavalry could not exert their might, if in the wilderness, the Hun cavalry could suppress the infantry to fight.
Wu Zhao looked at everyone's gaze, and also felt that he had said the wrong thing, and lowered his head a little shyly, playing with his spear.
"The Huns are powerful, the cavalry is even more ferocious and abnormal, General Anton still needs to be cautious" Huang Zhong was also worried that when Wang Gang waited for the Huns to withdraw his troops, he would lead his troops to chase and kill, and when the Huns counterattacked, I am afraid that they would be defeated.
"Thank you General Huang for reminding me, I'm not stupid enough to fight a decisive battle with the Hun cavalry in the field" After Wang Gang finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Zhao again, and his voice was obvious. Looking at Chu Yu on the side, he lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something, and couldn't help but ask.
"What is Chu Yu thinking?"
"I'm wondering if I can introduce the Hun army into the pass, so that the advantages of the Hun cavalry will not be brought into play."
Chu Yu has been with Wang Gang for the longest time, and he is also the most familiar with Yanmen Pass, and he once defeated the Xiu Tu army in Yanmen Pass with Wang Gang.
Fan Chong listened to Chu Yu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he spoke.
"Chu Yu is right, we can introduce the Hun soldiers into Guanzhong, and then come to an urn to catch turtles, but we must think carefully to be foolproof"
Wang Gang suddenly understood that if the Huns were allowed to retreat so simply, he would not be reconciled.
"Tomorrow, the Huns will attack the city, pretend to be invincible, retreat in defeat, block at the east city wall, hide the archers in the mountains on both sides, and then suddenly kill, the Huns will definitely be in chaos" Fan Chong said the whole plan roughly, and looked at Wang Gang with unfinished eyes.
"Demolish the houses on both sides, so that the Huns don't hide inside, and then the power of the archers can be brought into play," Chu Yu reminded.
"Yes, now order the soldiers to demolish the house, and there will be General Lao Huang"
Wang Gang immediately ordered Huang Zhong and Wu Zhao to lead the soldiers to demolish the houses.
Seeing Huang Zhong leaving, Wang just spoke.
"General Huang is a general of the unified army, with the talent of arrows, leading archers, and is very powerful."
Wang Gang told Fan Chong some information about Huang Zhong.
Fan Chong and Chu Yu were also slightly surprised when they heard that Huang Zhong had the talent of the Arrow God, and the two of them also knew what the talent of the Arrow God meant, and they also understood the purpose of Wang Gang bringing Huang Zhong over.
"General, how many more soldiers can be recruited"
Wang Gang didn't explain, he stretched out his hand to open the exchange device, Fan Chong glanced at it, showed a mysterious smile, and spoke.
"Then I'll be relieved"
"Mr. Fan wants to recruit as many more soldiers as he asks, as long as he can seriously injure the Hun army, it doesn't matter if the 50 million copper coins are used up."
Fifty million can be exchanged for five thousand soldiers.
"Maybe not a serious injury, but a total annihilation"
"I'm afraid it's not easy to annihilate them all," Chu Yu said with some uncertainty.
"The Hun cavalry comes and goes like the wind, even if the archers are ambushed on the mountains on both sides, the Hun cavalry can quickly withdraw to the outside of the pass, and the Huns must be behind the Hugh Tu soldiers, it is not easy to annihilate them all" Wang Gang also didn't believe that he could completely annihilate the Hun cavalry.
"Then if there is an army that kills out of the pass and cuts off the retreat of the Huns, the general thinks that it is possible to annihilate the Hun cavalry" Fan Chong said calmly.
"How can you hide a troop in the pass, the Huns ......" Wang Gang said this, as if he thought of something, and patted his head hard.
"Then I'll hide in the stone chamber tomorrow"
"General, no," Fan Chong and Chu Yu spoke at the same time.
"I'll stay here, I have the right to exchange" Chu Yu hurriedly said, if Wang Gang was allowed to stay here, he would rather not use this plan, in case the Huns found Wang Gang, among the ten thousand troops, he would definitely die.
"Chu Yu also has to command the archers, just let Wu Zhao come, Wu Zhao's martial arts are strong, and there will be no accidents" Fan Chong thought more thoroughly, and it was only appropriate for Wu Zhao to handle this matter. However, in terms of details, Fan Chong has to go and talk to Wu Zhao in detail.
"There are still more than 500 prisoners and a thousand war horses in the pass, what should the general do?" Fan Chong asked again.
Wang Gang was overjoyed when he heard this, a thousand war horses, but more than a thousand cavalry can be formed, and now the ordinary exchange in the exchange device cannot be exchanged for cavalry, which makes Wang Gang have a headache all the time. If this thousand war horses are formed into a team of more than 1,000 cavalry, when the time comes to attack the Xiongnu, there will also be an extra trump card.
"Send someone to Zhang Liao first, and send the captives to Niangziguan for mining"
