Chapter 85: Defensive surprise

Before dawn, the exclusive troops stared at the cold wind and stood in front of Yue Chen.
Yue Chen ordered: "Drink, eat, and rest for 4 hours."
After arranging the soldiers, Yue Chen waited for a group of generals to enter the city lord's mansion, and the map of Anguo was spread out on the table.
Mu Guiying pointed to the map and said, "This place is five hundred miles away from the capital of Anguo. There are two important checkpoints, and there are five thousand defenders inside the checkpoint.
Master Wei, your information? "
Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and bowed to the generals before saying: "I am ashamed of the fact that the intelligence system is not perfect. Most of the intelligence comes from Lan Ling'er. Today, two armies are marching towards Dongping Pass.
One was Xu Changhong's army, and that Xu Changhong was the clan uncle of the Dongping Guard General we just killed. This man is a generation of famous generals who have served in the army for decades and governs the army strictly.
And their army, with a number of about 50,000, is equipped with large-scale siege weapons. "
"fifty thousand!"
Yue Chen whispered softly.
If it is eaten, whether it is experience or magic coins, it will be a huge gain.
Wei Zhongxian continued: "The other army, commanded by Wang Xinggang, is in his early sixties. He is a member of the royal family and has been in the army since he was a child.
This person's style is as fast as wind and fire, and the offensive is extremely fierce. Their troops are 60,000, and they are also equipped with various heavy ordnance. "
The two troops, coming from two directions, are targeting Dongping Pass.
Looking at the posture, if it were not for Yue Chen to act in advance, the two armies would converge at Dongping Pass, then pass through Dongping Pass and arrive at the city of Hongyan.
Yue Chen asked: "Can there be news about Toxic Dragon Mountain?"
"Report to your Majesty, not yet!"
Wei Zhongxian said.
"No, but you must guard against it!"
Yue Chen said indifferently, and immediately changed the front, shouting to Mu Guiying, "Guiying, how should we fight this battle."
Mu Guiying spit out: "Quick!"
"His Royal Highness, please see!"
Mu Guiying pointed to the map, "Xu Changhong's army is still two hundred miles away from us. It will take five days to march as normal.
In addition, the news of our battle will be spread to the Anguo army tomorrow, so according to the previous plan, we will wait until the army has enough rest, immediately pull out the army and head here..." "Nanshan Pass! "
Yue Chen's eyes condensed, and he shouted coldly.
Mu Guiying said: "Yes, Nanshan Pass is the only place Xu Changhong must pass. It is two days away from Xu Changhong, and three days away from our normal march.
But if we pass through Nanshan Pass silently and enter the back of Nanshan Pass, what will Xu Changhong do? "
"second!"
Yue Chen smiled and said, "Order it!"
Mu Guiying shouted: "The cavalry is here to collect supplies and inform the military division to send people to take over Dongping City and transport the supplies back to China.
The rest of the guards will leave the camp at nine o'clock tomorrow. "
The next morning, the cavalry started cooking and provided hot chili soup and beef to the exclusive troops.
In ten minutes, after eating and drinking, the troops embarked on the journey again.
This time, the exclusive troops abandoned their war horses and walked on uninhabited mountain areas, hiding their tracks along the way, plus they were marching in a hurry.
Stepping on the snow and advancing at full speed, the rapid march on this road is very hard.
Mu Guiying issued a military order: those who fall behind, cut.
The noiser, cut.
In addition to eating, all the way hurriedly, must walk two hundred miles before dark the next day, rushed to the Nanshan Pass.
A large number of soldiers and horses are slowly advancing on the official road in Anguo.
Inside a huge carriage, coach Xu Changhong's face was pale.
He has received the Flying Pigeon Biography, Dongping Pass is broken, and his nephew Xu Yuanxin died in battle.
That was a nephew he was very optimistic about. Although he was a little arrogant and domineering, who is not arrogant or domineering among young people?
Xu Yuanxin runs the army rigorously, but arrogantly but never underestimates the enemy, he is the most outstanding young man of the Xu family.
Xu Yuanxin was able to guard Dongping Pass at a young age, and Xu Changhong and the entire Xu family also contributed behind them.
Now that the nephew died in battle and Dongping Pass was lost, the court must have fallen out.
"Yue Chen... surprise attack... the gods descend from heaven!"
Xu Changhong closed his eyes, recalling the battle report passed back by the spy.
Yue Chen's general actions also slowly formed in his mind.
This is the famous general. You can review the entire battle from some unclear news, combined with battlefield experience.
"What a Yue Chen, I really underestimate you. Unexpectedly, when we were thinking of dealing with you, you openly invaded my Anguo... Hehehe, it is really interesting, the little Hongyan City, invaded my huge Anguo , It's a shame to speak out."
Xu Changhong talked to himself slowly, as if speaking to the people around him.
"Yue Chen, really bold."
Xu Changhong sighed.
"Come on! Bring the map!"
Xu Changhong opened his eyes suddenly and shouted.
"Great handsome!"
A strong man from the Xu family stepped forward and respectfully worshiped.
This is Xu Changhong's cousin, Xu Changshi.
A map was taken up by the guards and laid out in front of Xu Changhong.
Xu Changhong stared at the map, his eyes suddenly condensed on Nanshan Pass, and shouted: "If I were Yue Chen, I must take this."
Xu Changhong shouted: "Pass the order to Nanshan Pass, let them pass on the flying pigeons with a stick of incense and pass the book to this commander. At the same time, the flying pigeons will have lost. Guan, Yue Chen will come soon, ask them to strictly guard the surrounding area and not be negligent.
Order the soldiers to sleep with armoured soldiers" "Yes! "
Xu Changshi shouted, and then hurriedly passed the order.
After passing the order, Xu Changshi returned to Xu Changhong's side and said softly: "Dashuai, are you worried about Nanshan Pass?"
"Not bad!"
Xu Changhong said.
Xu Changshi frowned and continued to ask: "However, Dongping Pass is at least three days away from Nanshan Pass, and there are several large cities on the way. Although those cities have not many soldiers, they are enough to contain Yue Chen. According to normal conditions, there is no five days. It is impossible for Yue Chen to appear at Nanshan Pass. If he wants to attack the city along the way, I am afraid it will not last for half a month."
"Don't underestimate Yue Chen!"
Xu Changhong shouted, "This person is so young that, with the help of Little Red Rock City, he first repelled Yu Wenqing's army, and now he has a thunderous blow to break Dongping Pass. How easy is it.
In feldspar, when marching to fight, all factors must be considered. One carelessness means that the overall situation will be lost. "
Xu Changhong is known for being cautious, and his remarks reflect the rigor of his marching and fighting.
"But eldest brother, we will be able to arrive at Nanshan Pass in one day. No matter how fast Yue Chen is, it is impossible to arrive earlier than us.
You still want Nanshan Pass..." Xu Changshi was even more puzzled.
"Be prepared!"
Xu Changhong shouted, exhaling a long cold breath, "We know too little about this opponent.
We must strictly guard against his surprise attack. Nanshan Pass must not be lost. Once Nanshan Pass is lost, we will be passive.
A surprise attack lies in a strange word. If you are fully prepared, no matter how brilliant Yue Chen's plan is, there is no room for him to start. "
