Chapter 518
After the Huan army passed through the Battle of the Eastern Front, the current military force was about 150,000.
150,000 people, how powerful is the manpower?
It didn't take long, and in just one or two months, the plank road had been built.
A wooden road, winding over the cliffs, penetrates deep into the ridges.
After the completion, Sun Qi immediately told Xiao Yuan the news.
But there was no movement next time.
What does he mean? It is obviously trying to get Xiao Yuan to march.
In the Huan army camp, a general was puzzled and couldn't help but say, "Supervisor Sun, this strategy is the best strategy. Why give it to the Qin army? It is better for our army to fight by itself. We will be able to easily take Wutong, and then Wutong will come to Liangdu."
"Liangdu, it's not that easy to fight. Xue Wu still has a army of 300,000. If you occupy Wutong, how can he not be anxious?" Sun Qi chuckled and said, "Let the King of Qin go and fight. He is the one who is most anxious."
At the same time, the Qin army camp.
The generals are also discussing this matter.
Jia You said: "Sun Qi was obviously interested in it, just to let our army attack Wutong. At that time, Xue Wu will use all his troops to attack our army, and Huan's army can enjoy the fruits."
Analyzing the battle situation, Wutong is behind Yanzhou. If the attack is successful, then the 300,000 Liang troops will be tied to Yanzhou, and Wutong can go directly to Liangdu. Once this situation occurs, Xue Wu will definitely ignore it and attack Wutong fiercely. As for Huan army, there is no way to pay attention to it.
Sun Qi just needs to stay behind and do nothing, just sit and watch the battle between Qin Liang.
Thinking of this, Peng Shuang couldn't help but say, "Sun Qi is such a big conspiracy."
"This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy." Xiao Yuan said, shook his head and said, "He calculated that we must march because the Huan army had enough time to delay, but we couldn't afford to delay."
What is open conspiracy? It means you are making a trap for you openly, and you still have to be able to do it.
Due to Wu and Chu, Xiao Yuan was forced to defeat Liang State in urgent need of defeating Liang State, so there was no way.
Two days later.
Under the cliff, the plank road is connected to the ground.
From a distance, it is hanging in the air, connecting the mountain walls on one side and the abyss on the other side. It is not uncommon.
When the Qin army arrived here, Xiao Yuan first went up and stepped on it twice. Then, without hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Go!"
With his order, the Qin army lined up in a long row and began to follow closely.
Half an hour later, on the cliff, I saw that it was full of black armor and red tassels.
For regular plank roads, there should be railings on one side to prevent accidental falls from falling off the cliff. However, due to military reasons, these are obviously too late.
Fortunately, the width of the plank road is enough to accommodate two or three people side by side, and the wooden boards are all fixed by nails, which is not the kind of loose situation. Ancient plank roads could be used for many years and are very solid.
But even so, looking at the bottomless abyss on one side, Xu Hu couldn't help but say, "King, be careful..."
Xiao Yuan was walking in the front. After hearing his reminder, Shangguan Wenruo immediately said, "General Xu, walk in front of the king."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Hu also reacted.
Knowing that they were worried about themselves, Xiao Yuan smiled and was not artificial, so he leaned against the mountain wall, allowing Xu Hu to walk in the front.
"Soldiers are careful-"
"There is no guardrail on the plank road, don't slip under your feet, and take care of it front and back--"
In this way, the team was moving fast and slow, and at afternoon, they finally passed through this Jueling Mountain.
Xiao Yuan and some generals arrived at the ground first, and the soldiers behind continued to continue, while several people came to one side and stood there to discuss.
"Get the map."
Soon after, the map was handed over, Xiao Yuan spread it out, holding one side in his left hand, and Xu Hu held the other side.
The generals surrounded the map. Xiao Yuan looked at it for a while, then reached out and pointed to a place: "We should be here now, about fifty miles away from Wutong."
"But we can't walk like this. In order to achieve the effect of a surprise weapon, we must go around a lot."
“From here.”
As he spoke, his fingers also drew a half-arc on the map.
When the generals heard this, they nodded one after another.
After confirming, Xiao Yuan put away the map and stuffed it to Wei Qing, then looked sideways at the soldiers who were still walking down, and looked at the surrounding environment.
"This is a rare deep mountain between people. Let the soldiers who came down first open up a road and wait for the army to gather."
"promise!"
Two days later, there was a forest somewhere outside the sycamore tree.
If someone comes in at this time, he will definitely be shocked, because the entire forest is densely filled with Qin troops with black armor and red tassels.
It is still very far from the city gate, and it is even more crossed by many hillsides.
But at this moment, Wutong County is approaching.
Xiao Yuan had just seen the map. After putting it away, he asked Lin Chu again: "How is Wutong's current situation?"
"According to our army's information, there are Liang's baggage troops in Wutong City, which are constantly transporting food, grass and weapons to Yanzhou. In addition, some local officers and soldiers, the total number is at least several thousand."
Xiao Yuan heard this and pondered for a moment, while Peng Shuang said, "King, Wutong has only a few thousand enemy troops. The last general suggested that he rush to the city and break through this place in one fell swoop."
"Don't be anxious first." Xiao Yuan raised his hand and said, "Once our army appears, Wutong will definitely close the city gate as soon as possible and then fight to the death to defend."
"And we now have no ladders and no siege equipment. Although there are many troops, it is difficult to attack the city. If we cannot take it down as soon as possible, the news will be back to Yanzhou and Xue Wu will support it with cavalry, and the situation will be bad."
Although there are only a few thousand people on the other side, if they really hold on for a day, they will be finished. Yanzhou is behind them, and Xue Wu can support him very quickly.
This is a risk, you can't take it.
Even if you want to attack, you have to cut down the wood and rush to the ladder first.
However, after thinking about it, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "The Wutong is very easy to break, and there is no need for a large army."
As he said that, he also looked at Xu Hu and Peng Shuang: "You two, take off your armor and find a way to change into a cloth clothes, disguise yourself as the people of Wutong, and enter the city normally. After arriving at the city gate, quickly kill the guards and control the city gate. Our army will arrive. As long as Wutong cannot block the city, it can be easily taken."
After hearing him say this, Xu Hu and Peng Shuang couldn't help but look at each other, and then clasped their fists and said, "I'll get the order!"
"Go and prepare!" Xiao Yuan urged, fearing that there would be more dreams in the night and things would change.
Wutongnai County was after Yanzhou. Because Xue Wu's army fully deployed Yanzhou, it was not affected by the war. Therefore, there were still pedestrians entering and leaving the city gates, but they were not as lively as before.
