Chapter 177: The City of Blocking the Road [Fourth Update]

After half a day of repair, at night, the troops led by Yu Sheng, full of physical strength and high morale, all of them got on their horses and shuttled through the Songshan Mountains and mountains of the enclave.

The moon is in the sky, and the silver light is everywhere. In the mountains of Songshan, everything seems to be hidden in the clouds and mist, and the shadows are so beautiful that you can't see it really.

The neat cavalry phalanx, black helmets and black armor, black-maned war horses, battle armor and horses, and dried bloodstains, reflected in the silver moonlight, showed slaughter and solemnity.

The rest of his life was still at the forefront, and Huang Yuchen rode his horse to follow him.

The paths in the mountains were very difficult, sometimes only enough for a single horse, and thousands of armies marched slowly on such roads.

But there is no way to do it for the rest of his life, if he takes the main road, he will encounter the enemy's ambush, even if he takes this small road, he is cautious all the way, and all the staff will be suspended immediately as soon as there is a disturbance.

In order to maintain full preparation and combat effectiveness, the rest of his life can be regarded as painstaking.

From the Black Rock Bridge to Wufeng City, it takes two days to take the main road, last night, Yu Sheng led the team to gallop on the main road, and encountered the first batch of enemy troops blocking the road, so far, the whole journey has been three percent of the road.

The rest of the road, if not blocked by the enemy, can be reached in a gallop of 400 miles, a day and a night.

But this plan obviously cannot be chosen.

One is because there must be an ambush on the way, and the other is because the long-distance attack is a great drain on both the horses and the sergeants, and there must be the enemy's elite troops in front of Wufeng City.

And take this mountain stream path, the date of arriving at Wufeng City will naturally become much longer, and the rest of my life estimates that if the whole city takes the mountain road, it will take about four to five days to enter the range of Wufeng City, if it really arrives at that time, everything is too late.

The rest of his life rode his horse to the front, passing a ridge, and in front of him, a fork in the road.

On one side is the main road, which is obviously an official road, which can lead directly to Wufeng City.

The other is still a mountain road, leading to the vast mountains ahead, and it is not known where this mountain road leads.

At this moment, Yu Sheng rode his horse and stood in front of the fork in the road, a little hesitant in his heart.

Take the main road, you can reach Wufeng City with a flat horse, but you will definitely encounter obstacles, and it is inevitable to fight a few battles, even if you use the good mobility of the Dongfu Iron Cavalry to bypass the enemy's ambush, after arriving at Wufeng City, the enemy army in ambush behind will become reinforcements, and then the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, Ye Guan only has two thousand men and horses, and the defense of Wufeng City is already stretched, and it is impossible to go out of the city to help. And he took 4,000 people and horses to fight against the entire enclave elite, and he knew for the rest of his life that he didn't have that much ability.

Take the small road, you can avoid the enemy's ambush in the middle of the road, after arriving at Wufeng City, you don't have to worry about the appearance of reinforcements in the rear, even if they get the news that something is going on in Wufeng City, they can set off, it will take a day to arrive, and when the reinforcements arrive in Wufeng City, the battle is afraid that it will be over. But there is a problem here, the time is uncontrollable, and there may be some unexpected things on the way, so it will definitely delay the time to arrive in Wufeng City, and if it is really late, it will definitely delay the big event.

Yu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly, at this moment, the whole army of knights had already left the path, neatly lined up behind Yu Sheng, waiting for him to issue an order.

Huang Yuchen rode his horse to Yu Sheng's side, he understood Yu Sheng's worries in his heart, and Huang Yuchen also had an estimate in his heart for his current actions.

Between taking the big road and taking the small road, Huang Yuchen is more inclined to take the big road, using the mobility of the iron cavalry to mess up the layout of the enemy army, and create more time and space for Wufeng City as much as possible.

"General, take the big road. Huang Yuchen rode his horse to Yu Sheng's side, turned his head to look at Yu Sheng, and said softly: "We use the mobility of the cavalry to disrupt the enemy's formation, and we don't have to charge head-on. ”

The rest of his life heard the words, but did not speak, nor did he express it. Huang Yuchen said the plan, of course he has considered it, but such a plan has advantages and disadvantages, the mobility of the cavalry is strong, yes, but no matter how good the war horse is, it is impossible to run endlessly, sooner or later it is necessary to rest. The number of enemy troops is far superior to that of one's own, and if the enemy sets up a pocket formation when he is resting, he will be dead and dead.

Or divide the troops into two groups, alternating light and dark, and likewise disrupt the enemy's arrangement. Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't speak, Huang Yuchen continued to whisper: "General, if we continue to take the road of mountain streams, let alone speed up to Wufeng City, it will not be easy for us to come out of the mountain streams. In fact, there is only one way in front of us. ”

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, nodded slightly, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said softly: "What you said is good. Then he turned around and ordered: "All the sergeants, run at full speed along the main road, go straight to Wufeng City, if you encounter an enemy ambush, go straight around, and no fighting!"

The herald behind him immediately passed on the order for Yu Sheng, and in a moment, all the sergeants received Yu Sheng's order, and they all understood Yu Sheng's choice.

Since the enclave is vast and sparsely populated, and the enemy has far more sergeants than himself, there is only one way to achieve the goal, guerrilla warfare.

At the sound of an order, 3,700 cavalry took advantage of the situation and drove away along the official road of the enclave.

Under the bright moonlight, the whole team turned into a galloping dragon, galloping on the flat official road, dusty.

What Huang Yuchen and Yu Sheng said was just an added reference. After the incident of Dongxuancheng last time, Huang Yuchen has a deep understanding of the rest of his life.

For the rest of his life, this person is not weak, his ability is not strong, he is cool-headed, his combat power is extremely high, and he is a rare good general. But people have problems, the problem of the rest of his life is that he is easy to hesitate when encountering things, he will count all the things that will be encountered, and then make a decision after considering the gains and losses, this is not a bad problem, Ye Guan is probably doing things in this way, but compared with Ye Guan, the speed of thinking about problems is obviously much slower, which can be seen in the previous Yu Sheng's handling of the incident in Dongxuancheng.

Huang Yuchen's two sentences undoubtedly played a role in fueling the fire, making the decision logical for the rest of his life.

In fact, in the rest of his life, he also preferred to march towards the main road, using guerrilla warfare methods to wear down the enemy's vocal strength and disrupt their arrangement. But he had too many things on his mind to make a decision lightly. At this time, Huang Yuchen's few words made him make up his mind.

Without saying anything all the way, the Dongfu Iron Cavalry followed the official road of the enclave, all the way to the east, galloped for two hours, and traveled until late at night, and no ambush was found nearby, which surprised Yu Sheng.

According to common sense, on the official road, whether it leads to other cities or to the main city, when the enemy is attacking, even if there are no ambushes, you can see the outpost scouts and the like, and it is very important to spread the news on the battlefield.

But after marching for two hours with such fanfare, he ran out of a distance of 100 miles, but he didn't even see a single figure, except for the mountains and forests near the official road, which was a small amount of farmland.

The route map of the enclave official road has been very clear for the rest of his life, and it is not a secret. The confrontation between the East Wangfu and the enclave has been going on for many years, and if there is no information about this, the East Wangfu will not have to fight on the border.

Walking further, there should be an enclave city not far ahead, and after this city, there are only three hundred miles left from Wufeng City.

I didn't encounter any enemy ambushes along the way, and the enemy's ambushes should have been near this city.

Riding his horse at a gallop, he spent the rest of his life on horseback, and as he galloped forward, he quickly analyzed.

The official road of the enclave leads to the city, and if you want to enter the official road again, you must pass through this city. And there is no other path near the city.

Among the enclaves, there are many mountains, and most of the cities are built in the mountains, or under the mountain streams, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it will be a little difficult to pass through the city in front of you. This is one of the points that the rest of my life hesitated to make.

He marched forward a short distance, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow from a distance, standing in the mountain stream, on the left and right, belonging to the hills and mountains, endlessly, if the cavalry wanted to ride up this mountain, it was extremely difficult.

Yu Sheng gently pulled the reins, and at some distance from the city, stopped the horse, raised his left hand lightly, and made a motion to stop advancing.

The sergeants behind him did not hesitate at all, they stopped advancing, lined up, and stood behind Yu Sheng, they also saw the city in the darkness in front of them, but it was still far away and could not really be seen.

"Go to a squad of scouts and report to me about the city. Yu Sheng commanded softly: "Beware of ambushes." The rest of the people, etc., hide in place and be on guard. ”

"Honorable Order!" The sergeant immediately received the order after Yu Sheng's death, leading the three knights to rush forward along the official road.

The rest of the sergeants immediately rode their horses to both sides of the official road, and hid themselves with the help of trees and mountain streams on both sides.

According to Yu Sheng's thoughts, there should be no ambush in this area, and the army can rest briefly before the scouts return.

Such a city stood in front of you, just blocking the way, and if you wanted to get there, there were only two ways. Either bypass or siege.

This time, all the sergeants were well-equipped and carried improvised siege equipment, and it was not a problem to take a small city, but it was still necessary to find out the enemy's reality before they could really decide whether to attack the city.

Yu Sheng turned over and dismounted, led the horse to the side of the official road, stroked the horse's back, Huang Yuchen also turned over and dismounted at this moment, and rode on the horse for a long time, making his legs a little sore, rubbing the inside of his legs vigorously, and then leading the horse to Yu Sheng's side.

The two of them leaned against a large tree and sat on the edge of the tree.

Around, the sound of cicadas chirping was not in his ears, and as soon as Huang Yuchen sat down, he felt a few mosquitoes flying beside him, "buzzing" around the side, which made him upset.

All the sergeants did not have time to clean up the blood stains on their bodies after a bloody battle before, and this late night, in the wilderness, was the most attractive for mosquitoes.

Helpless, Huang Yuchen could only release his fighting spirit and drive away the mosquitoes.

Except for the sound of mosquitoes, there is silence all around. Trained horses are quiet at the moment, and few horses make a loud snort.

Huang Yuchen drove the mosquitoes away and looked at the rest of his life, but saw that he was calm, and the mosquitoes around him did not have the slightest effect on him.

"There are many mountains and mountains in this enclave, and guerrilla tactics are not so easy to carry out. Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuchen sitting down, and said softly: "If we attack the city head-on and advance step by step, with only our 4,000 men and horses, I am afraid that before we pass through a few small cities, the whole army will be wiped out." ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he smiled softly and said, "The general has already had a plan in his heart, what do you mean by telling me this." ”

"Huh. Yu Sheng glanced at Huang Yuchen and said, "You kid is clever and can't hide from you." After speaking, he sat up straight, turned his head sideways to Emperor Yuchen's ear, and said softly: "Don't you know how to use the formation, will you make a fire formation." ”

"Fire formation?" Huang Yuchen was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of the rest of his life, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Recently, my formation cultivation has made a little progress, and it shouldn't be a problem to arrange the fire formation, but it takes time to arrange this formation." What is the general going to do with it?"

When Yu Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he leaned into Huang Yuchen's ear and whispered.
