Chapter 1093: Surprise Attack on Han Valley (Part 2)

Chapter 1091: Surprise Attack on Han Valley (Part 2)

 The next day, all the generals gathered in the main tent of the Qin army, waiting quietly for the commander-in-chief Bai Qi to issue combat orders.

“Everyone, although Yewang City is difficult to attack by force, the governor has already devised a strategy to defeat the enemy.”

Hearing what Bai Qi said, everyone in the hall immediately became excited. Li Cunxiao immediately stood up impatiently and asked, "Grand Governor, what is your clever plan?"

Bai Qi glanced at Li Cunxiao and said word for word: "If Hangu Pass is broken and the Yanglin grain road is cut off, the wild king will surely collapse sooner or later without a fight."

"What?"

Everyone was immediately shocked. They thought Bai Qi really had any good ideas, but they didn't expect that the attack was actually to attack Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is one of the most dangerous passes in the world. Although there are only 5,000 defenders in the pass, it is still extremely easy to resist an enemy force that is ten times the size of our own.

Hangu Pass is several times more difficult to attack than Yewang City. The Qin army has not even captured Yewang City yet, but Bai Qi wants to attack Hangu Pass, which is even more difficult to attack? How could this possibly be defeated?

“Here, uh, Commander-in-Chief, taking Hangu Pass will indeed cut off the Liang army’s food route, but we must be able to attack it.”

"Yes, Governor, with the current strength of our army, it is extremely difficult to even capture Yewang City, let alone Hangu Pass."

“Captain, if we really go to attack Hangu Pass, I’m afraid we’ll only lose our troops and lose the generals, so we’ll be disgraced. Commander, think twice.”

The generals all gave words of admonishment, but Bai Qi said calmly: "Of course I know this. Hangu Pass is indeed more difficult to defeat than Yewang City, but being unable to defeat Yewang City does not mean that Hangu Pass cannot be defeated. "

Just when the generals were a little dazed by Bai Qirao, Bai Qi said firmly: "Don't worry, everyone, I have a perfect plan in mind, and I can definitely capture Hangu Pass smoothly. The only worry now is how to hold it. Hangu.”

Seeing that Bai Qi was thinking about defending the city, the generals were no longer as doubtful as before. After all, Bai Qi was never too sure of a battle. Since he had said so, he would definitely be able to capture Han. Guguan method.

“The maximum number of troops required to seize Hangu Pass cannot exceed five thousand troops. Otherwise, the Ace Army will not be able to completely trap the Liang Army in Yewang City, and the Liang Army in Guanzhong will never let Hangu Pass fall into the hands of our army.”

After saying this, Bai Qi looked at the generals and said calmly: "With five thousand troops and horses, we will capture and defend Hangu Pass for at least a month. I wonder which of you is willing to take on this important task?"

 Everyone looked at me and looked at you, but no one took the initiative to ask for a fight. After all, with five thousand soldiers and horses to capture and defend Hangu Pass, this was an almost impossible task in their opinion.

 “The last general, Zhou Yu, is willing to take on this important task.”

At this moment, the youngest Zhou Yu stood up to take the order, and all the generals looked surprised when they saw this.

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Zhou Yu, you are too young to take on this important responsibility."

"If the governor does not use the words of the general because of his age, the general will not obey."

Seeing Zhou Yu's unhappy face, Bai Qi laughed instead and asked, "What do you have to object to?"

 “You have ambitions that are not as high as your age.”

Zhou Yu looked directly at Bai Qi, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Gan Luo has twelve titles of prime minister, and my lord has fifteen titles of champion. Zhou Yu is already seventeen years old. Although he is not as good as my lord and Gan Luo, he still has the ability to guard Hangu Pass. "

 Speaking of this, Zhou Yu knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "As long as the governor's plan can really capture Hangu Pass, Zhou Yu can defend Hangu for a month with five thousand troops."

"good."

A trace of relief flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and then he said calmly: "In that case, I will give you this opportunity."

"Where is Li Cunxiao?" "The general will be here at the end."

“We now appoint Zhou Yu as the chief general and Li Cunxiao as the deputy general. He will lead five thousand troops to attack Hangu Pass without any mistakes.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Zhou Yu did not expect that Bai Qi would send Li Cunxiao as his deputy general. You must know that this was his first time leading an army. He had the most powerful general in the world as his deputy general. This kind of treatment even the lord could not get.

Li Cunxiao was an easy-going man and usually took great care of Zhou Yu. Therefore, even if Li Cunxiao's military rank was higher than his own, Zhou Yu was not worried that Li Cunxiao would neglect himself as the commander-in-chief.

Before leaving, Zhou Yu also saw what Bai Qi said was the "perfect strategy" to successfully capture Hangu Pass.

What Zhou Yu didn't expect was that this perfect strategy was not a strategy, but four real people.

“This is Senior Dugu who was my superior. Next he will tell you how to break through Hangu Pass.”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Bai Qi, the former superior of the Governor, had such an old qualification and was probably working under Duke Qin during the Yanmen Army era.

Zhou Yu bowed respectfully to Dugu Qiubai. After looking at the other three masked men in black, Bai Qi did not introduce the identities of these three mysterious people to him.

It’s not that Bai Qi didn’t want to say it, and he didn’t know the identities of these three people. Seeing this, Zhou Yu thought that these three people were Dugu Qiubei’s subordinates, so he didn’t pay too much attention.

These three mysterious people were Li Shimin, Li Maozhen and Li Mochou. As for Li Xiuning, she went to find Li Yuanba, so she did not return with Li Shimin.

Soon, five thousand elites, including Li Cunxiao's Feihu Camp, were gathered, and then they secretly headed towards Hangu Pass under the leadership of Zhou Yu and Li Cunxiao.

Although Yang Lin in Yewang City was aware of the Qin Army's division of troops toward Hangu Pass, he thought it was Bai Qi's way of luring him out of the city. After all, he did not think that the Qin Army could rely on five thousand soldiers and horses. Then he conquered Hangu Pass.

Seeing that Yang Lin didn't respond, Bai Qi, who was already prepared for the situation, could only call back the ambushes lurking in the major thoroughfares. This also made Yang Lin secretly relieved, but he didn't know that the biggest crisis had been solved. He let it go with his own hands.

During the rapid march, Li Cunxiao found that one of the three people around Dugu Qiubai gave him a very familiar feeling, but he could not remember who it was.

Li Cunxiao wanted to seek verification in person, but was stopped by Dugu Qiu.

 Seeing that the two were at war with each other, Zhou Yu quickly ran over to smooth things over, and the conflict was temporarily resolved.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu looked helpless and said to Li Cunxiao: "Brother Li, why are you so impulsive? Although you have successfully integrated the dual skills, Dugu Qiufei is a great master after all."

A trace of pride flashed in Li Cunxiao's eyes: "So what if the Grand Master, if we really fight, he will definitely not be my opponent."

“Brother Li, we are all members of our own family, why should we be so stiff?”

Zhou Yu looked at Li Cunxiao and advised: "Dugu Qiubai is a close confidant of Duke Qin. If you hurt him, it will make things difficult for the Lord."

"Know it."

There was a strange look in Li Cunxiao's eyes, and he frowned and said, "I'm just a little curious about who that person is. I feel like I've seen him somewhere."
