Chapter 398: Seize the Commanding Heights

Wielding a knife to kill the last Yizhou army who resisted, Wei Yan wiped the blood from his face, came to Ma Yue, and asked in a low voice: "The people in the mountain pass will not find out?"

Ma Yue glanced at the bottom of the mountain and replied: "There should be no, at this hour, most of the people in the pass should have fallen asleep, even if there is a patrol, their attention should not be on the mountain behind them, but in the direction of the garrison of our army in front of the pass, but just in case, Wen Chang will lead a thousand brothers to the halfway up the mountain to ambush later, and he will personally interrogate the prisoners and set out the military deployment of Jiameng Pass."

Wei Yan saluted Ma Yue with a fist and said, "Don't worry!" Then he took a thousand Guigui Lux and walked down the only mountain road to the top of the mountain.

Watching Wei Yan's departure, Ma Yue turned to the Digui wrestlers behind him and said, "Leave four hundred brothers on both sides, come fifty brothers to interrogate a certain negative rate, and the rest rest rest in place!"

Facts have proved that Ma Yue's guess is right, the attention of the Yizhou army in Jiameng Pass is not on the top of the mountain behind it at all, coupled with the quick decision of the Digui Forcemen, the Yizhou army on the top of the mountain was disarmed in the shortest possible time, so that they lost their combat effectiveness, so the Yizhou army in charge of patrolling in Jiameng Pass did not notice the changes on the top of the mountain behind them at all.

For a night, Wei Yan waited for half a night in vain on the mountainside, and couldn't help complaining: "The quality of these Yizhou troops is too poor, and they didn't notice such a big thing happening behind their backs, it's bad, it's too bad." After sharing the hardships with the Digui Warriors, Wei Yan's vision became higher, and these lax Yizhou troops were not even as good as scum in his eyes.

On the top of the mountain, Ma Yue spent half the night successfully learning from the mouths of the prisoners of the Yizhou army that they were communicating and incising information about the safety of the Jiameng Pass under the mountain, and figured out most of the deployment of the Yizhou army in the Guannei. Taishan gathered most of his troops in front of the pass to prepare for the strong attack of Yuan Qi, and only sent 30% of the troops, scattered in other places in the pass, responsible for guarding the important materials in the pass and guarding the guard. This kind of deployment is beneficial to Ma Yue, which can allow Ma Yue to calmly look for fighters and give Taishan a hard time behind his back, but Ma Yue's carelessness has improved a lot under Yuan Qi's teaching. Of course, he will not believe the confessions of these Yizhou army prisoners, and he still needs to make some observations before he can make an accurate judgment.

When Wei Yanjing stayed in the middle of the mountain and returned to the top of the mountain alone, he told Ma Yue about his close observation of Jiameng Pass from the middle of the mountain, and Ma Yue believed the confessions of the captives and confirmed that Taishan did not deploy too many troops behind the pass.

After making such an inference, Ma Yue and Wei Yan discussed it carefully for a while, and finally decided to send the news back. Let Yuan Qi launch a frontal attack in front of the pass, and at the same time, Ma Yue will lead the Digui Lux to launch an attack from the back of the pass, so that Taishan can take advantage of the weakness of the defense behind the pass. Of course, it is good to attack the pass in one fell swoop, even if it can't, it is nothing, at least it will contain Taishan's energy and force Taishan to send reinforcements to the back of the pass. Reduce the pressure on the primordial of the frontal battlefield.

After thinking of it, Ma Yue immediately sent someone to send a message. It's not realistic to return the way you came. Therefore, before Ma Yue set out on the expedition, Yuan Qi had already thought of a way to communicate with each other, and there was nothing mysterious in saying it, just the oldest way of long-distance communication - flying pigeons. Before leaving, Yuan Qi deliberately gave Ma Yue two carrier pigeons, so that Ma Yue to the back of Jia Meng Pass, used to contact the army of communication tools, however, Yuan Qi also knew that this means is not advanced, it is easy to be intercepted by the enemy, so as to know the information that they want to communicate with each other, so, the real mystery is in the letter carried by the carrier pigeon, there is no text on it, there is a series of lines of different thicknesses and irregular points, this is the secret language formulated by Yuan Qi to imitate the Morse code of later generations, in addition to Yuan Qi himself mastered all the content, only nine parties are all-rounders, Admiral Five Tigers and General Babu and a few other people were able to decipher and use this set of codes, so that they did not have to worry about the hidden danger of being informed of the content of the communication by the enemy after the carrier pigeon was intercepted by the enemy, and for the sake of insurance, Yuan Qi also asked Ma Yue to bring two carrier pigeons, which would fly back to Hanzhong from different directions, thereby reducing the possibility of being intercepted.

Coming to the back of Jia Mengguan with his feet, Ma Yue and the others walked for a day and a night, but the carrier pigeon walked a straight distance in the sky, so it only took more than two hours for Ma Yue to release the two carrier pigeons, which brought the news he wanted to tell Yuan Qi to Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi untied the secret letter on the leg of the carrier pigeon, and after opening it, he saw that it was Morse code, and immediately distinguished the authenticity of this letter.

Yuan Qi immediately called Zhuge Liang and several other peerless think tanks over, and handed the secret letter sent by Ma Yue to their eyes. After reading the secret letter, Pang Tong took the lead in saying: "Ma Yue's idea is good, the army feints in front of the pass, which can attract the attention of Mount Tai, and Ma Yue will have a chance." Forced Mount Tai to send reinforcements to the back of the pass, maybe there will be fighters, my main army and Ma Yue echoed from afar, to a virtual reality, so that Mount Tai can not figure out which side of us is a strong attack, which side is a feint. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, just lowered his head slightly and thought carefully. Don't look at him always saying to Yuan Qi that if there is a war, there will definitely be casualties, that's just his words to comfort Yuan Qi, with Zhuge Liang's caution, he will never let his army suffer heavy casualties, so every time there is a big war, Zhuge Liang is extra cautious, and never makes judgments easily, lest his decisions will cause the army to suffer heavy losses.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was silent, Yuan Qi looked at Jia Yuan and Xun Luo and asked, "You all talk about it, how should we reply to Ma Yue?"

Jia Yuan's character, that is the old scheming, deep wisdom to protect the truth, if it wasn't for Yuan Qi to ask him by name, or if it wasn't at an emergency, he would not say anything, and this time is no exception, in the face of Yuan Qi's inquiry, the first to speak is still Xun Luo:" King Yan, General Ma Yue's strategy is also feasible, just now Shi Yuan also said his own opinion, a little feel that Shi Yuan said is very insightful, but it must be divided into priorities, whether to take the front of the pass as the main battlefield, or to take the pass behind the main battlefield, this must be clear, so that the soldiers will have a clear goal in their hearts, so as not to fight blindly. ”

After listening to Xun Luo's opinion, Yuan Qi looked at Jia Yuan, Jia Yuan is good at everything, but he is too wise to protect himself, if it weren't for Yuan Qi and Jia Yuan who have experienced life and death together, I'm afraid Jia Yuan will be even more silent than now, seeing Yuan Qi look at himself, Jia Yuan knew that he couldn't hide this time, thought about it, and said: "I am willing to agree with Shi Yuan and Ma Yue's strategy, and I am willing to think that Xun Luo's words are also very reasonable." We all know that Taishan is not a fool, he must be a little panicked at the beginning of the front and rear attacks, but I believe that it will not take long for him to calm down, because he knows that it is impossible for the main force of our army to appear behind the pass, because after the detour to the Jiameng Pass, this is something that the army can never do, ordinary soldiers, it is impossible to fly over the Daodao moat, so it can only be a small force to harass behind the pass, therefore, our army must take the battlefield in front of the pass as the main battlefield, and the main force of our army as the main battle force, Ma Yue's department, can only play the role of containment, and must not assume the role of the main battle, otherwise, the effect may be counterproductive。 ”

After Jia Yuan's words were finished, Pang Tong and Xun Luo nodded at the same time, expressing their support for Jia Yuan's opinion. At this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his head and said: "Big brother, Mr. Jia Yuan's strategy is feasible, but Mr. Jia Yuan also said just now that Taishan will definitely have a period of panic at the beginning of falling into the enemy, which is human nature, and this is also an opportunity we can take advantage of." Liang thought that it was better to put Shi Yuan and Mr. Jia Yuan's strategy together, using Taishan's initial panic, so that Ma Yue bluffed behind the pass, and set up banners, causing the illusion that our army had leaped over the moat, so as to confuse Mount Tai, and at the same time, during this time, do not invest too many troops in the battlefield in front of the pass, so that Taishan believed that it was true, and when Taishan was hesitant and sent troops to reinforce the pass, our army suddenly launched a strong attack in front of the pass, so that a dignified battle could be like when General Zhang Chong conquered Hanzhong, and played a surprise attack。 ”

"Okay! Brilliant plan, this method is good!" Pang Tong, Xun Luo, and Jia Yuan praised in unison. Seeing that the three advisors all agreed to Zhuge Liang's method, Yuan Qi no longer hesitated, and immediately made a decision: "Then do it." Kong Ming quickly replied to Ma Yue's secret letter in secret words, asking him to create an illusion after the pass to attract Taishan's attention. Shi Yuan, Xun Luo, Jia Yuan, you go and inform the officers and men of our army and let them prepare for battle, and from now on, our army will enter a state of first-class combat readiness and be ready to march into Jiameng Pass at any time! The day of the general attack will be set for the early morning of tomorrow!"

Zhuge Liang and the other four people bent down and saluted Yuan Qi at the same time, and said, "Obey." Then he turned and left, and went to his own business according to the assignment of Yuan Qi.

Three hours later, two carrier pigeons flew back to the top of the mountain behind Jiameng Pass with a secret letter written by Zhuge Liang. After Ma Yue and Wei Yan read the secret letter, a smile appeared on their faces.
