Hearing the heartfelt words of the old general in front of him.

Fa Zheng couldn't help but be greatly moved.

With Huang Zhong's support, he accepted this good strategy.

He even personally went to select the elite members of the army, and without any hesitation, he handed over the command of his subordinates to Fazheng, who was temporarily in charge.

Now that the matter has been decided!

After Huang Zhong selected his troops, he went to hide in the secret valley halfway up the mountain that Fazheng had mentioned and wait for the opportunity.

There's a plot going on here.

Until that evening.

Xia Houyuan's troops had full authority to cross the north bank of the Han River and assembled on the south bank.

After he got off the boat, Zhang He quickly walked over first, raised his hands and said: "General Xiahou, the highest mountain in front is the main peak of Micang Mountain."

"Our army's action this time is to seize this place and hold it firmly, waiting for the Prime Minister to send reinforcements, and attack Yangping Pass from behind with a condescending force that breaks the bamboo."

Zhang He first reported the truth to the people he sent to find out the information.

"good!"

"It's getting late today, so the army has set up camp at the foot of the mountain to rest for the night."

"First send a group of troops up the mountain to check out the enemy's situation. If there is nothing wrong, we will station here first."

"Tomorrow Japan will personally go to the mountain to supervise the construction of forts to prevent the enemy's counterattack!"

As soon as the words fell.

Xia Houyuan also quickly ordered.

As soon as these words came out.

Zhang He's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

After half a ring.

He just responded in a low voice with his hands raised: "General Xiahou, it's not that the last general didn't send troops to seize the main peak, but that the enemy has already built forts and other defensive fortifications on the main peak one step ahead of our army."

"What?"

"How could it be so?"

The words fell slowly.

Xia Houyuan first showed a look of astonishment, and then responded with a hint of disbelief: "How is this possible? It is said that the main force of Liu Bei's son is still on the way."

"How could it arrive so quickly?"

"As for the defenders in Yangping Pass, they are now unable to defend the city. How can they have any remaining strength to seize Nanshan?"

"General, this is absolutely true!"

"There is indeed an enemy force that has seized the main peak."

After some words.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan could not help but calm down slowly.

Looking at Zhang He, his face was serious and he didn't look like he was joking.

Then you know the seriousness of the matter!

He originally thought that there were not many troops stationed in the pass, and with his superior strength, Yangping Pass would definitely not dare to send troops to seize it.

In that case, the fierce battle between the two sides will only be an egg against a stone!

But where did this garrison come from?

"Is this enemy group coming from within the pass?"

After calming down, Xia Houyuan asked first.

"General Qi, no, according to the information obtained by the scouts, there are about thousands of troops and horses on the main peak."

"Based on the current offensive between our army at Yangping Pass and the Northern Army, it is absolutely difficult for the troops stationed in the pass to come here to fight for it!"

"Besides, if they dare to mobilize more than thousands of soldiers, there will inevitably be a gap in the defense in the north."

"At that time, the Prime Minister would immediately seize this opportunity and attack it fiercely!"

"In this case, the north will not be able to defend it."

Listening to Zhang He's analysis.

Xia Houyuan also nodded in agreement, which was quite reasonable.

"If it is not the garrison in the pass, then Liu Bei from the Bashu land sent his light troops to search through the Daba Mountains in advance and rushed over, seizing the terrain ahead of our army."

"In this case, this matter will be a bit difficult to handle."

Xia Houyuan pondered for a while and said with some worry.

He was originally full of confidence.

Suddenly, my face looked a little ugly.

What is the situation in the north?

He knows it better than anyone else.

It is precisely because Beishan and Guancheng in the north cannot be broken through head-on.

Only then would he take the order and come to fight for the ownership of Nanshan.

But if the enemy's light army is not weak now.

In addition, by seizing the main peak in advance, we have a convenient location.

But it’s not easy to win!

Even if we can try our best to seize it, it will be a tough battle.

For Xia Houyuan.

A hard fight is the last outcome he wants to see.

Once one's own losses are too great.

Even if you conquer the main peak of Nanshan Mountain.

Perhaps there is no spare capacity to continue to deal with the military power coming from Guancheng.

And Liu Bei's main army may suddenly arrive at any time.

Various factors such as these.

As a general of an army, he naturally has to take everything into consideration.

"But it can be seen that this enemy group is also new!"

"According to the scouts, the enemy is building a fortress and filling the perimeter with antlers and other defensive measures."

Zhang He then handed over his hand and reported again.

"oh?"

"The new ones have arrived, so our army can't waste time."

"Jun Yi, you are responsible for urging our troops to launch an attack on the main peak immediately."

"I will personally hold the battle for you!"

Hear this crucial message.

A slight smile suddenly appeared on Xia Houyuan's face.

It seems that a breakthrough has finally been found.

That is to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to seize the lower main peak first.

Therefore, he originally planned to rest for the night.

The next day, he will lead the crowd to the mountain again to take charge of the overall situation.

But now the situation suddenly changes!

The situation also became tense.

He couldn't care less about the fatigue of his soldiers.

Urgent matter.

The right way is to capture Nanshan quickly.

"Lo!"

An order was passed down.

Zhang He didn't hesitate, and firmly held his hands and accepted the order.
