Chapter 306 Outsmarting Wuyang Pass(1/2)
At this moment, no one in the army was dissatisfied with Ning Zhiyuan.
Although he serves as a general as a prince, he does not come across as naturally arrogant.
In the past, in the eyes of these border soldiers, the prince was just a delicate flowerpot.
But what was different from what they imagined was that Ning Zhiyuan's ability to run the army and his tough image completely changed their preconceived notions.
Being able to make everyone in the army share the same hatred of the enemy and invigorate the whole army was the first thing Ning Zhiyuan did after taking office ten days ago.
At this time, he seemed to have become the soul of the army.
General, every soldier who saw Ning Zhiyuan looked at Ning Zhiyuan with respect.
In their eyes, the man in front of them was no longer the delicate flowerpot, nor was he the second prince with all the titles. He was just a general, a general who belonged to the border.
In addition to strict self-discipline, Ning Zhiyuan's resting place was exactly the same as that of ordinary soldiers, and the same was true for eating and drinking.
This also makes him more able to blend in among these soldiers and generals.
What's the situation outside, Brother Su? Ning Zhiyuan looked at Su Xun.
It had been ten days, and the Montenegrin Army had not attacked. Su Xun spoke calmly.
Don't you think it's strange? Ning Zhiyuan said calmly.
It's a bit strange. According to common sense, they should be eager to attack the city, but they are holding back at the moment. I'm afraid there is something strange in this.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at the map on his desk with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Su Xun also looked at the map carefully, and suddenly he found an insignificant line on the map.
It was only a few hundred miles from Wuyang Pass to Baishui Pass, and the journey took no more than a day, but they did not move.
Could it be...could it be...
What? Ning Zhiyuan looked at Su Xun.
Could it be that they built a plank road to attack Chencang secretly and sent troops to bypass Baishui Pass and go straight to our rear?
When Ning Zhiyuan heard what Su Xun said, his expression immediately changed and he looked at the map carefully.
Here, Su Xun pointed to the location on the map.
There was a solemn look in Ning Zhiyuan's eyes. If the Hukou Pass was lost, the supply line at Baishui Pass would be cut off.
At that time, we will face an isolated pass and be flanked by the Montenegrin army on both sides. If that happens...
Ning Zhiyuan didn't say anything else. Brother Su, this mountain road is winding and winding. With the speed they are traveling at, where is the best place for us to ambush.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Su Xun and chuckled.
The second prince is so smart, how could he not know where to set an ambush? Why should he ask questions knowingly?
Ning Zhiyuan laughed loudly and said: "Brother Su, please point out the location with me!"
The two of them pointed to a location on the map in unison.
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Brother Su and I have similar views, but I want to play bigger. Ning Zhiyuan has a glint in his eyes.
The second prince wanted to take advantage of this opportunity... Su Xun's eyes flickered.
Yes, if they attack our rear, they will definitely send out the main force. On the one hand, we can ambush them, and on the other hand, we can also take the initiative to attack and occupy a favorable position.
Only by recapturing Wuyang Pass will our army's rear be safe. Ning Zhiyuan had a solemn look in his eyes.
Then I'll make arrangements now, and I'll support Hukou Pass and make arrangements along the way.
This matter is urgent, so I hope Brother Su will be more careful.
Don't worry, Su Xun nodded solemnly.
Su Xun immediately took Xiaomanman and his troops to Hukou Pass for layout.
Ning Zhiyuan and Ji Yuanqiu ordered the pots to be buried to make rice. When the fighting at Hukou broke out, he ordered a surprise attack on Wuyang Pass where the Black Mountain Army was located.
In front of Hukou Pass, Su Xun led five thousand troops and horses to support.
Master, how are you going to fight this battle? Xiaomanman stood aside and asked, "You have no experience in the army."
Who said no? Su Xun chuckled and said, "I once dreamed that I became a general."
Listening to Su Xun's words, Xiao Manman could only roll his eyes. This was really a dream!
Su Xun slowly closed his eyes, thinking of the general who was so murderous, thinking of the general's life, and thinking of his own life.
Today, he returned to the battlefield, as if the dream that was like an illusion came true. On this familiar battlefield, some were just warriors, and some were just killing.
There was a strong fighting spirit in his chest, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Back!!!
Su Xun seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to the sky.
In one day's work, Su Xun had a clear understanding of the terrain of the entire Hukou.
The next day.
Inside the military tent at Hukou Pass.
You lead a thousand people to the upper reaches of the waterfall halfway to the mouth of the Hukou to block the flow of the waterfall. When night falls and you hear the sound of people and horses at the bottom of the mountain, you dig out the water from the waterfall.
The general immediately received the military order.
Xiaomanman, there is a natural canyon in the forest to the left and right of Hukou. This canyon is extremely narrow. You can lead five hundred people and ambush at the mountain road of the canyon. When the other half of the army is over, you will build up rocks and roll trees. The force will also make
The other army cannot be connected head to tail, so as to gain the greatest opportunity for us, Xiao Manman bared his teeth and said: "I know, why don't we just stone them to death."
Su Xun nodded, remember, he told him when his army was halfway through.
Su Xun looked at the general beside him again and said: "There is a dense forest directly in front of the Hukou. There are many flags in the dense forest. They go in from the left and go out from the right, and go in and out from the right. They think there are suspicious soldiers."
With you, I will lead a thousand men, and divide them into about 500 men to hold the flag. If someone comes to attack, just retreat. Another 500 men will be prepared with sulfur, fire, oil and linen cloth.
After receiving the order, the general immediately took over the military order!
Su Xun chuckled lightly and said: "This time, I will let them never come back."
After a moonlit night, when the moon is dimly lit, the entire spout of the pot is quiet.
Behind this quietness, people feel a little uneasy.
A famous soldier is like a shadow lurking in the dark night.
They passed through a narrow canyon at the mouth of the pot.
At the top of the canyon, Xiao Manman opened his eyes wide and looked down, thinking: "The master is indeed right, these guys want to come here for a sneak attack in the middle of the night."
Figures of people slowly passed through the canyon.
After about a while, Xiao Manman noticed that the army was halfway through, and immediately said: "Get ready to use falling rocks and rolling logs to crush these brats to death."
Suddenly, torches were raised above the canyon, and the lights were bright.
The Black Mountain Army below was shocked, and someone shouted: "There is an ambush!"
But before some people could react, they were smashed to pieces by falling rocks and rolling trees.
The boulder rolled down, splitting the entire narrow canyon in half.
Unfortunately, the way out was blocked. A Montenegrin Army general secretly said something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat.
But at this time, the canyon had been blocked by falling rocks. At this time, the Black Mountain Army was like a long dragon cut off in the middle, divided into two parts.
The men and horses in the rear can naturally retreat, but the men and horses in the front can only walk towards the canyon with no way out.
The men and horses in front were now panic-stricken, and they obviously knew that they were being ambushed.
When they entered a dense forest, they found countless enemy flags unfurled. These soldiers were like soldiers of grass and trees, with frightened looks on their faces.
Don't be afraid, don't panic, everyone, this is just a trick by the enemy. A general immediately stabilized the morale of the army and said: "Don't you know the truth and the truth?"
Bring me a team of troops and rush over to see what's going on, the general continued.
As soon as he opened his mouth, many soldiers plucked up their courage and immediately followed the general and rushed over.
But they found a lot of flags, but no one was there. General, you really have a clever plan. These people are just bluffing, a soldier said excitedly.
My general is naturally very resourceful. How could these little tricks of theirs be hidden from me? That general was bragging.
Following the order, everyone quickly passed through this dense forest. Since the road was cut off, we had to give it a try to hope to survive.
The soldiers listened to the general's words and nodded one after another.
Just as everyone moved forward into the dense forest.
Su Xun stood on the high mountain with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
I'm afraid that if you don't come in, I will roast you today.
Shoot the arrow!!!
Su Xun shouted softly, and immediately two thousand crossbowmen released the rockets in their hands.
To be continued...
