Chapter 681 Take the Yumen Pass

Lin Yu agreed without hesitation, and he had already seen Li Jing's scruples, knowing that Li Jing would not let go, this was his only chance.

Seeing that Lin Yu nodded and agreed, Li Jing patted Lin Yu's shoulder with a satisfied smile and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll share five thousand troops with you. I'm tired from the journey tonight. You should go to rest first and go out tomorrow morning!"

"No!" Lin Yu cupped his hands and left, sat on the side and lay down, did not rest immediately, but silently took out the map of Xiliang.

It is difficult to take down Yumen Pass, which has a strong garrison force, within an hour!Very difficult, but not impossible.

First of all, within the capabilities of the soldiers, strive for the shortest time. Lin Yu studied the map hard, wanting to see if there is any route to get to Yanmen Pass as soon as possible.

But Lin Yu soon discovered that the marching route drawn up by Li Jing was really seamless. Not only was it safe, but there was also water to replenish along the way. This route was the shortest to reach Yumen Pass.

Lin Yu felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he admired Li Jing even more. His idea was correct. Li Jing was indeed a master of military use. As long as he could worship Li Jing as his teacher, he would definitely make great progress.

Lin Yu stared at the map for a long time, until the two of Pei Jun and Chen came to persuade Lin Yu to sleep. On the second day at Yinshi, Lin Yu led five thousand cavalry and went straight to Yumen Pass.

Fortunately, this cavalry is from Yanmen County, Lin Yu is the general of Yanmen Pass, and his prestige is much greater than that of Li Jing.Lin Yu encouraged the generals along the way and made many promises, and the soldiers agreed to travel an extra twenty miles every day.

At the same time, Li Xianzhong, who was stationed in Shangyu, led the necessary troops to Jincheng County.Taking Xue Andu and Xie Xuan as the vanguard, each leading [-] cavalry, the two armies advanced alternately, opening roads across mountains and building bridges when encountering water.

However, Li Xianzhong's main force is the infantry, and now in mid-August, the weather is so hot that he can only travel thirty or forty miles, and the speed is very slow.

But despite this, Li Xianzhong sent troops only one day before he was scouted by Sima Yi's scouts who went deep into the hinterland of Tianshui.Under the galloping of the scouts, they informed Sima Yi of the information the next day.

When Sima Yi got the news, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss how to deal with Li Xianzhong.

Sima Yi sat on the throne, looked at the generals below and said: "Yesterday, the scouts got the news that Li Xianzhong from Shangyu had sent all his troops to Jincheng. Now the weather is hot, and he can only march thirty or forty miles a day. It is expected to be three days. You can only arrive at Jincheng later, do you have any opinions?"

"Hmph, that's great. Li Xianzhong finally sent troops to help the two armies. I, Lu Bu, am willing to lead [-] cavalry to defeat it!" When Lu Bu heard that Li Xianzhong had come to Jincheng, he was overjoyed and immediately asked for a fight.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen!" Fazheng waved his hand at Lu Bu and said, "The Han army knew that our army was large, and sent Gao Siji to deliver a letter a few days ago. There must be a conspiracy, or the Han army only had How to deal with us! Our army should stay calm and stop, don't attack rashly, and fall into the ambush of the Han army!"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "The military division is serious, so what if the Han army has a strategy to defeat the enemy? Our army's strength lies here. As long as the Han army dares to come, Lu Bu will kill every one he sees!"

"Having said that, but the enemy has an unpredictable conspiracy, we have to guard against it!" Fazheng shook his head and said.

Sima Yi pondered and said: "Xiaozhi is right. I decided to divide the troops into two groups, each with [-] troops. I will sit in this camp with Marquis Wen. Xiaozhi, you will lead Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Ren and others to set up camp ten miles to the east and occupy a dangerous location. , Refusing to defend the Han army!"

"Why didn't the general let me go to the east to form an array, but to stay in the camp instead?" Lü Bu was displeased: "If I were to go to the east to garrison, not to mention defeating the Han army, the Han army would not dare to go any closer!"

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "No, you are impulsive by nature and the enemy's situation is unknown. You should focus on stability. After you figure out the specific movements of the Han army, you are making plans. If you are asked to garrison east, you will take the initiative to attack!"

"I..." Lu Bu continued to quarrel, but Sima Yi stared coldly and said, "I've made up my mind, you're talking too much about military law!"

"No!" Lu Bu had no choice but to obey.Others couldn't suppress Lu Bu, but Sima Yi was a ruthless person. He could be both soft and hard to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu listened to him very much.

So Sima Yi divided his troops into two groups, and asked Fazheng, Gao Xianzhi, and Zhang Ren to lead [-] troops to station ten miles east to guard against the Han army.And he and Lu Bu led [-] troops to continue to surround Jincheng, just in case.

Time flies, Li Xianzhong's main infantry is still a few days away from Jincheng, but Lin Yu and Li Jing's cavalry galloped along the way, marching three or four hundred miles a day, but they arrived at Yumen Pass very quickly.

Twenty miles before Yumen Pass, Lin Yu led the troops to stop, surrounded by about [-] cavalrymen all wearing Mongolian battle armor, and their hair was also braided according to the Mongolian style, and they were dressed in strange shapes.

Lin Yu looked at these people and said: "You are all soldiers who are good at speaking Mongolian in the army. Later, you will go to Yumen Pass with me and open the city gate. The rest of the troops slow down and rush over when they hear the sound of killing , Take the Yumen Pass in one fell swoop."

To attack a city and seize a stronghold, if you want to take it quickly, you can only rely on tactics, not to mention that Yumen Pass is a grand pass, the gateway to Xiliang, and it is no less than a fairy tale if you want to attack by force.

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he rushed to Yumen Pass with two hundred soldiers dressed as Mongolian cavalry, and arrived at Yumen Pass after a while.Lin Yu didn't know how to speak Mongolian, but he taught the soldiers how to speak it. The soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city and shouted at the top of the city: "Anda in the city, open the door quickly, and the prince will be dragged down. There is a change in the battle ahead, and I am ordered to go to the Western Regions once." Send reinforcements, open the door quickly, don't waste time!"

The guard at the head of the city was a Mongolian commander who led 15 soldiers and horses to guard the pass. Hearing this, he quickly said: "The prince's [-] soldiers and horses were dragged down. How could there be an accident?"

"Hey, don't mention it. The Han emperor has already destroyed Jizhou and led his army to Xiliang. The strength of the Han people has greatly increased. Those strong generals are very powerful. Hudachi, Giselle and other strong generals were all killed by the Han generals, so let me go forward. Go to the Western Regions to ask for reinforcements, open the door quickly."

According to Lin Yu's estimation, the military strength of the countries in the Western Regions is no less than 20, but now the Mongolian army has only about [-] to [-] troops in the Western Regions. Although the turmoil and wars have caused a lot of losses in these years, the military strength of the countries in the Western Regions is at least a book. Ten thousand up and down, so it is very possible to drag Lei to the Western Regions to ask for reinforcements.

As soon as the commander in the city heard this, he immediately ordered the city to be opened to let Lin Yu and the others in. When the door was closed and they called, Lin Yu took the lead and shouted coldly: "Kill!"

With the spear shot out like a dragon, Lin Yu instantly stabbed the two Mongolian soldiers who opened the door to death, and rushed into the pass. The rest of the cavalry followed closely, killing the cavalry around the city gate. .

The main cavalry behind heard the shouts of killing and sped up their speed, and soon rushed to Yumen Pass. Although the guards of the pass fired arrows to resist, Lin Yu and his party also got off their horses and went to kill the pass. The Mongols are not good at defending the city. He was killed by Lin Yu's troops.The cavalry under the city were not disturbed by the Mongols, and rushed into the pass in one go.

An hour later, when Li Jing arrived with the cavalry, Lin Yu had already cleaned the battlefield and greeted Li Jing at the bottom of the city.

"Disciple Lin Yu has met Master!" Before Li Jing could speak, Lin Yu bowed down to Li Jing.

Li Jing looked at the flags of the Han army planted on the top of the city, looked at the expressions of joy on the faces of the cavalrymen of the Han army around him, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, since you captured the Yumen Pass within an hour, I will accept you." As an apprentice, but how much art of war you can learn depends on your own good fortune."

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Yu said excitedly.

Li Jing nodded and ordered: "The army entered the pass to rest for half a day. Chen Dao led two thousand troops to stay at Yumen Pass. After half a day, the army followed me to Jincheng to fight!"

"No!" The three of them bowed their hands and accepted the order.

However, Li Xianzhong led his soldiers and horses all the way to the west, and after three or four days of marching, they finally arrived not far from Jincheng.

But here, Fazheng led Gao Siji and Zhang Ren to set up camp in a valley, the only way the Han army must pass.

It is said to be a valley, but there are many Gobi and barren hills in Xiliang.

Xue Andu and Xie Xuan marched so far, knowing that they could not advance, they reported back to Li Xianzhong.

Li Xianzhong set up camp on the opposite side, and the [-] troops confronted each other.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Xianzhong and his generals came to the nearby area to observe the situation. At a glance, they were surrounded by desolate Gobi, and in the distance, under the Jincheng, there were camps rolling up and down, completely enclosing the Jincheng.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the Yizhou military camp on the opposite side and said: "The scale of the Yizhou military camp is no more than [-] soldiers and horses. A hard bone!"

Xue Andu said: "What's the matter? I will lead a cavalry force to rush in from the hills on the left and right, and destroy the Yizhou barracks! The governor is leading the main force to charge in from the front!"

"No, General Xue, look, in the hills and ravines, there are many places where the line of sight is not clear. The soldiers and horses of Yizhou must have set up archers among them. If they break in from anywhere, they will suffer a lot!" Zhuge Liang pointed to some places in the hills. The visual blind spot said.

Li Xianzhong felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He hadn't paid attention to these things, but when he heard Zhuge Liang mention them, he realized something was wrong.For a while, he admired the Yizhou soldiers who arranged the defense, and lamented that Zhuge Liang was born out of the blue, and the great Han had successors.

Li Xianzhong looked at Zhuge Liang, and Xie Xuan and the two asked: "Then according to Kong Ming and Youdu's opinion, what should our army do?"

"Yizhou's soldiers and horses only dispatched half of them to stop our army. The defenses can be said to be unbreakable. My side cannot attack by force, and Cao Dudu's soldiers and horses must attack first!" Xie Xuan looked at the camp and shook his head.

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement: "As long as General Cao takes the initiative to attack, the Mongols will definitely line up to meet the enemy. When the time comes, the soldiers from the Western Regions in his army will turn against him. With the combination of inside and outside, General Cao will definitely have the upper hand, and the Yizhou soldiers and horses will definitely help each other. Come, our army can take advantage of the momentum to attack this camp, and in this way we can win a big victory."
