Chapter 2711: Breaking Jincheng to fight against Canglang Leader, Huluguang VS Dugu Xin
After Li Mu captured the Three Mountains and Five Villages, he immediately led his army to attack Daxing, Sui Capital. For such an important military operation, he would naturally notify Li Jing on the Eastern Front.
But since Li Jing''s troops were already one or two, Yuwen Chengdu and Huluguang led 30,000 vanguard troops to lead, while Li Jing led 70,000 main forces to march later.
Li Mu did not know the specific trends of Li Jing''s troops, nor did he directly contact Yuwen Chengdu, so he notified Li Jing first, and if Li Jing notified Yuwen Chengdu, there would naturally be delays.
This is also why Yang Su took the lead in Yuwen Chengdu, knowing that Li Mu had already made direct efforts to Daxing and also used this to plan.
Although Yuwen Chengdu was half a beat slower than Yang Su in terms of intelligence, he had Huluguang, so his reaction was not slow at all.
When Huluguang notified Yuwen Chengdu, he had already ordered the entire army to prepare for the night to set out. After Yuwen Chengdu learned the whole picture, the Qin army immediately set out without any delay in the middle.
When Yuwen Chengdu led 8,000 light cavalry to the outside of Jincheng, he saw that the city of Jincheng was empty, and the city was even more quiet and terrifying, as if it was an empty city. It was obvious that the defenders in the city had already run away.
"Damn it, I''m still a step late."
Yuwen Chengdu clenched his fists. Even if he could occupy a big city like Jincheng without a single soldier, he still didn''t have much joy on his face. After all, it would be even more troublesome if Yang Su was let go.
Huluguang said, "Don''t worry, General Yuwen, Yang Su can''t escape. If the Sui army wants to escape back to Daxing, there are only two roads: Yunwu Road and Zhiyang Road. But no matter which road Yang Su takes, we can catch up with our army''s marching speed."
Yuwen Chengdu nodded helplessly and then prepared to send troops into the city to accept Jincheng in all directions, but was given to Huluguang.
"General, be careful of ambush in the city. Jincheng is here anyway, so he can''t escape. The most important thing now is to pursue Yang Su."
As soon as Huluguang finished speaking, a raging fire suddenly lit up in Jincheng, illuminating half of the night sky.
Seeing this, Yuwen Chengdu said in lingering fear: "You really want General Hulu to be right. There is indeed an ambush in the city."
Huluguang shook his head and said, "This should not be an ambush, but the remaining Sui army burning supplies. In short, it is better to be careful. First, send a team to the city to investigate, and then organize people to put out the fire."
Huluguang made a simple arrangement and left 10,000 people to take charge of the matter in Jincheng. After all, the most important thing now is to pursue Yang Su. Jincheng is already the flesh in his mouth, and he can be fully put on the priority.
Yuwen Chengdu and Huluguang led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to pursue him, and twenty miles away, Dugu Xin on Yunwu Road also discovered the fire in the direction of Jincheng.
"I saw it. The left-behind personnel have burned supplies, which means that the Qin army has chased after him. If you send orders, there is no need to make any arrangements. You can speed up the march and strive to arrive at the Canglang Leader before dawn." Dugu Xin said loudly.
"No."
Dugu Xinzhaozi Dugu Luo hesitated for a while and asked, "Father, what if the Qin army does not pursue Yunwudao?"
Dugu Xin was silent for a few seconds and said, "Huluguang is a smart person, and he can''t leave Yunwu''s way."
With Dugu Xin''s order, the Sui army quickly retreated
On the other hand, Yuwen Chengdu and Huluguang, who were leading their troops to pursue, soon chased to the fork in the road.
"General Hulu, Yang Su wants to escape from Jincheng back to Daxing. There are only two roads: Yunwu Road and Zhiyang Road, but there are a large number of traces of Sui army marching on these two roads."
Yuwen Chengdu frowned and said with some uncertainty: "Is Yang Su worried that we would be caught up with us, so he retreated in two groups, hoping to use this to lure our army to chase us..."
Before Yuwen Chengdu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Luguang.
"We cannot divide our troops to pursue."
"Why is this?"
"No matter whether Yang Su really separates his troops to retreat, even if it is true, we don''t know Yang Su''s specific troops distribution. It is very dangerous to rashly divide his troops to pursue.
And if one of the troops is suspicious and the other is the main force, if our army divides its troops to pursue, it will definitely meet the main force of the Sui army. At that time, it will probably be more and more unlucky. ”
Hearing Hu Luguang''s words, Yuwen Chengdu suddenly realized and realized Yang Su''s sinister intentions.
Indeed, although the Sui army retreated, it did not lose its combat effectiveness. If the Qin army divided its troops in order to pursue it, wouldn’t it be Yang Su’s intention?
"But if we don''t divide the troops, how can we know which road the main force of the Sui army is taking?" Yuwen Chengdu asked.
“Don’t know.”
"What? What?"
Yuwen Chengdu was confused, don’t you need to know? How can I chase this? Do you rely solely on gambling? That''s too much risk.
Huluguang explained: "The two roads of Yunwu Road and Zhiyang Road are close to Yunwu Road and Zhiyang Road.
No matter which way the main force of the Sui army retreats, we just need to go closer. ”
Yuwen Chengdu''s eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, if the main force of the Sui army goes to Yunwu Road, then our army will definitely be caught up.
Even if we walk on the Zhiyang Road, our army can reach Daxing City in front of him and then block it outside Daxing City.
Thumb the order down and pursue Yunwudao at full speed. ”
"No."
As Dugu Xin expected, under Huluguang''s persuasion, Yuwen Chengdu did not go to Zhiyang Road, but to pursue Yunwu Road.
After all, no matter whether you divide the troops or not, there will be some risks when walking on the branch Yang Road, and there will be no risks when walking on the Yunwu Road, so smart people will definitely choose Yunwu Road.
After the Qin army chased into Yunwu Road, after marching for two hours, Huluguang finally realized something was wrong. After taking the map, he couldn''t help but screamed, "It''s not easy to fall into the trap."
Yuwen Chengdu was shocked and asked quickly: "What? What''s the trick?"
"What we are chasing now is just bait, and Yang Su''s main force is on the Zhiyang Road."
“How can I see it?”
"It can be seen from the traces of the Sui army''s marching."
Huluguang dismounted and stroked the footprints on the ground, and said, "Yang Su still has more than 40,000 troops in his hand, but judging from the marching traces on Yunwu Road, the Sui army that walked over here was only 10,000, and this Sui army was probably the abandoned son Yang Su wanted to use to hold our army." "It''s just 10,000 Sui army. With the combat power and marching speed of our army, after defeating it, you can also arrive in Daxing before Yang Su."
"I thought so at the beginning, but I ignored one thing, that is the Canglang Leader."
"Canglang''s neck?"
Yuwen Chengdu did a lot of homework before the war, but he was still a little unfamiliar with the name Canglang. He realized it after reading the map.
"Yang Su wants to set up an ambush under Canglang''s leadership to ambush our army."
"The terrain of the Canglang Leg is not only suitable for ambushing, but also for layers of blocking. Yang Su may have thought of ambushing our army again, but even if it fails, it''s nothing. He can also use the terrain of the Canglang Leg to delay the speed of our army''s marching. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone."
“Hiss…”
Yuwen Chengdu immediately took a breath and felt Yang Su''s sinister intentions again. If Hu Luguang was not around, he would not know how much he had planned to Yang Su.
"General Hulu, what should we do now? Should we withdraw our troops and go to the Zhiyang Road?"
"No, even if you change the route, you can''t catch up with Yang Su anymore. You can only continue chasing along Yunwu Road. If the Sui army in front of you is not strong in resistance, you may be able to block Yang Su after defeating it as quickly as possible."
Hearing Hu Luguang say this, Yuwen Chengdu could only nod his head helplessly. After all, if Yang Su really couldn''t stop him, it would not be a loss to eat the Sui army in front of him.
Dugu Xin and Yuwen Chengdu two armies chased and fled along Yunwu Road, but finally Dugu Xin''s troops arrived at Canglang''s territory first.
After Dugu Xin led his army to Canglang''s leadership, he immediately occupied the favorable terrain, began to deploy defenses and set up traps.
In fact, Dugu Xin also knew that it was impossible for the ambush to succeed, but he was not giving up until the last moment, so he was still ready to give up, but the result was exactly the case.
After Yuwen Chengdu arrived at Canglang''s leadership, he did not go directly, but directly seized major strongholds, which also turned the ambush into an offensive and defensive battle.
"It''s worthy of being Huluguang, but I can''t deceive him."
Dugu Xin smiled miserably. If this ambush failed, it would mean that it would be difficult for him to escape back to Daxing. However, this was already within his expectations. He volunteered to put life and death aside.
"Report to the general, Gufengpo had been captured, but the Sui army dug trenches in advance and ignited tinder oil when retreating, and it would take at least an hour to completely put out the fire."
"What?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yuwen Chengdu became a little anxious. After all, Gufengpo had been hit for two hours, and there were several positive directions behind him. According to this progress, he would definitely not be able to block Yang Su.
"General Hulu, next you will command the entire army. This general will lead the army to launch an attack." Yuwen Chengdu said with a serious face.
"No." Huluguang said with his fist.
[Dingdong, Yuwen Chengdu skill ‘Tianbao (One-intensification)’ effect 3 is launched. When leading the army to fight, it can greatly boost your morale, and the comprehensive quality of your army is partially improved. When you are in danger, the entire army''s force is +1. 】
Yuwen Cheng is worthy of being a top general. As soon as he came on the field, the morale of the Qin army soared instantly, and even the progress of destroying the country was much faster. The fire, which could only be destroyed in an instant, took only half an hour to extinguish it.
After Yuwen Chengdu put out the fire, he led his army to attack the Snow Valley.
The Sui army crossbowmen who occupied the dangerous terrain immediately attracted their bows and kept firing after seeing the Qin army attack.
The Qin army, who was rushing to the front, had no time to dodge and was shot directly into the opposite direction and died tragically on the spot.
The Sui army soldiers didn''t have time to be happy and were pierced by a javelin the next second.
After seeing the hit, Yuwen Chengdu quickly ordered the spearmen to retreat and let the sword and shield soldiers come forward, and then personally led the sword and shield team to form a formation to break through the major strongholds one by one.
Facing Yuwen Chengdu''s attack, it also lost its meaning in the dangerous terrain.
In just one and a half hours, the major areas of Fengxue Valley were occupied by the Qin army one by one. The Sui army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat into the last line of defense, the leader of the Canglang.
After Yuwen Chengdu captured Fengxue Valley, he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but was stopped by Huluguang and ordered the entire army to rest for half an hour before launching a general attack on Canglang leader.
In terms of the degree of danger of the terrain, Negro Peak Slope and Fengxue Valley are not as good as the Canglang Leader, and the Sui army also deployed the most troops in the Canglang Leader, so attacking the Canglang Leader must be a **** battle.
After the half-hour rest time ended, the Qin army soldiers also recovered a lot.
Huluguang divided the 20,000 Qin troops into four teams, each with 5,000 people, and launched an attack on the entire Canglang leader.
Although the Sui army occupied favorable terrain, its number was far inferior to that of the Qin army. In addition, the Qin army combined with the virtual and the real, and the offensive was fierce. Even Dugu Xin personally commanded it, he felt pressure.
[Dingdong, Dugu Xin skill ‘Copper Wall’ effect 2 is activated. During defense, the commander +2 will be commander, and the morale and combat power of the entire army will be partially improved.
Dugu Xin: Commander 95, Force 101 (+3), Intelligence 84 (+1), Politics 96 (+1), Charm 97;
Currently, Dugu Xin commander has risen to 97 points. 】
After the launch of the ‘Copper Wall’, Commander Dugu Xin rose to 97 points and the pressure was reduced a little, but Yuwen Chengdu launched an attack at this time.
Yuwen Chengdu personally led three thousand shield soldiers and formed a shield formation, like a sharp knife, ready to pierce the heart of the Sui army directly.
Seeing this, Dugu Xin hurriedly commanded the army and prepared to gather the troops of Yuwen Chengdu, but Huluguang commanded the army to attack from other directions, making Dugu Xin unable to focus on Yuwen Chengdu.
After defeating the two defense lines of the Sui army in succession, although the Sharp Knife Team led by Yuwen Chengdu suffered a considerable casualties, it finally threatened the core of the Sui army.
Yuwen Chengdu wanted to kill Dugu Xin directly, so he went straight to Dugu Xin''s handsome flag, but when he rushed to the banner, he found that he had been cheated. Dugu Xin was not here at all, but instead strangled the Qin army that fell behind, forcing Yuwen Cheng to turn back.
But when Yuwen Chengdu returned, he found that Dugu Xin ran away again.
Yuwen Chengdu was not stupid either. He saw that Dugu Xin did not dare to fight himself at all, so he deliberately used this method to play tricks on himself. So he directly led a thousand people to prepare the tactics of facts and completely defeated the Sui army. This forced Dugu Xin to show up and concentrate his troops to surround and kill Yuwen Chengdu''s troops.
The decisive battle officially began, and the offensive and defensive battle also turned into a big melee.
