It took Qu Datou and ten soldiers a full three days to complete the more than one hundred miles, which was twice as long as expected.
The reason it took so long was mainly because if you wanted to get to Yingzui Cliff, you had to pass through the trumpet mouth defense line. Now this defense line is regarded by Zhao Shiqu as a human barrier. The defense is very tight, not only on the mountains on both sides.
Heavy troops were deployed, and within the valley defense line, there were almost one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. There was a small pass every five miles.
There is a large pass twenty miles away, and the inspections in and out of the pass are very strict, saying that they are wary of enemy scouts infiltrating.
Just walking and stopping like this, it took three and a half days to reach the top of the Eagle's Mouth Cliff.
Qu Datou did not report Zhan Ying's plan to Zhao Shiqu, which was required by Zhan Ying.
Zhan Ying knew very well that Zhao Shiqu did not have such courage, and Qu Datou could not persuade Zhao Shiqu to act according to his plan.
Only Yang Zhentian has this courage.
Qu Datou took out the documents and tokens and said that he had to go to Wangfuling to see Yang Zhentian if he had something to do.
What a coincidence, Yang Zhentian is at Yingzui Cliff today. During the winter months, the fighting subsided, but the preparations for war in the world did not stop. The passages under Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak were dug, and at the same time,
A secret passage leading directly to Yingzui Cliff was dug. In this way, Yingzui Cliff and Wangfu Ridge,
Seizing Stone Peak forms a line. The soldiers in Eagle Mouth Cliff can quickly reinforce the surrounding two mountains through underground passages. They do not have to rely on the Griffin Tribe and Dragoon Legion to carry out dangerous airborne operations like they did a few months ago.
.
In the southern wasteland, the Human Cavalry and the Storm Legion have been entangled for more than ten days. Zhao Zian has never found the main force of the Storm Legion. He has fought against the Storm Legion several times, but without good results. As the general manager of Jiannan Road,
The cavalry on the wasteland was also under the control of Zhao Shiqu. In the past few days, Zhao Shiqu had summoned leading troops from all walks of life to gather at Yingzui Cliff to discuss the war. Yang Zhentian, as the commander of the Zhenxi Army, also came to Yingzui Cliff through a secret passage.
.
After discussing for several days, these generals did not come up with an effective and feasible plan. The staff around Zhao Shiqu did provide several constructive suggestions and prepared several sets of combat plans, and are now analyzing and discussing them one by one.
The meeting place of the generals was in a cave on the cliff of Yingzui Cliff. Mr. Zhuge, Zhao Shiqu's first aide, was showing off his set of combat plans. The plan was relatively safe, focusing on defense and striving to delay the attack in time.
Destroy the enemy.
This plan is perfect, and most of the generals agree with it. They feel that with the fortress of Yingzui Cliff, it is impossible for the enemy to break through. Yang Zhentian seemed to be very dissatisfied with this plan, and sneered: "This style of play can only
If we can protect Yingzui Cliff, the enemy is not a fool. If we can't attack it for a long time, we will naturally attack elsewhere. We can enter the Yulin Pass thousands of miles to the east and the Xianxian Gorge of Cangyun Mountain thousands of miles to the west. If we don't
Eliminating the enemy's effective forces is of no use. The defense line is too big. It is impossible for us to hold a defense line of more than 100,000 miles in the south, west region, northern prairie, and even the East China Sea and South China Sea.
!Now Marshal Zhao has dispatched cavalry. If the Storm Legion cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, with the mobility of the Storm Legion, they can enter from any place." Zhao Shiqu said: "Shuai Yang, aren't we discussing this? We all want to eat him.
The main force of the Storm Legion, Phantom divided the Storm Legion into hundreds of groups and led more than 10 million cavalry in circles on the wasteland. Marshal Zhao Zian fought against the enemy for seven days.
They fought against each other four times, but they did not get any benefits. Instead, they lost troops and generals. This matter cannot be rushed." Yang Zhentian said: "If the Storm Legion cannot be wiped out within a month, then the 14 million cavalry in the wasteland will be in danger.
Well, that's 14 million soldiers and more than 20 million war horses. People eat horse chews, and the daily consumption of grain and grass supplies is an astronomical amount. Our transportation and supply lines can only reach Eagle Mouth Cliff.
It is simply impossible to transport the mountains of food and supplies to the wilderness thousands of miles away as scheduled. If the decisive battle with the Storm Legion cannot be fought in a short time,
, then we must order General Zhao to withdraw the cavalry to the north. The three armies will go ahead without using food and grass, especially the cavalry. There must not be any problems with the supply of food and grass." A fat middle-aged general said: "Shuai Yang is a bit alarmist.
Come on, spring has begun now, the ice and snow have melted, the wind blows and the grass grows. The vast wilderness is full of new grass. Horses eat grass. Even if there is some shortage of food and grass, they can put it on the spot.
Isn't it enough to be a herdsman?" Yang Zhentian stood up, slapped the table, blew his beard and glared: "King Xiangyang, do you know military strategy? Have you ever killed an enemy in battle? How many of those freshly unearthed tender grasses are there? Just unearthed new grasses, war horses
Did you know that eating it will cause diarrhea? Not to mention those millions of heavy equipment
How can the armored cavalry have the strength to carry a two-hundred-pound knight into battle if they don't eat soybeans?"
The generals in the cave all looked at the King of Xiangyang who just spoke with idiotic expressions. This pampered prince is here to cause trouble. If he is not your Majesty's biological brother, how can he be qualified to sit here?
Zhao Shiqu hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "If Yang Shuai has something to say, please speak it carefully. There is no need to bang the table."
At this moment, a bodyguard came in from outside the cave.
Zhao Shiqu asked: "Who asked you to come in?"
The guard hurriedly said: "There is a captain named Qu Jiuyuan who said that he has something urgent to call Yang Shuai."
Yang Zhentian was in a bad mood and said: "What captain, I don't know you, so get out quickly."
The guard immediately took out a small envelope and said, "The captain said that as long as you read this letter, you will definitely meet him."
Yang Zhentian frowned, tore open the letter and pulled out a small note from it. There were only two words on the note, but when he saw these two words, Yang Zhentian, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again, his face changing wildly.
"Zhan Ying!"
That's right, there are only two words "Zhan Ying" on the note.
He put the note into his arms and said, "Where is that person?"
The guard said: "Just at the Yingzui Cliff Pass."
Yang Zhentian said: "Bring him in quickly, no, I will go see him personally."
For more than half a year, Yang Zhentian has been studying Li Tielan's Art of War that he stole from Zhan Ying day and night, and has benefited a lot. He feels that he has made great progress in using troops, and he is comparable to a military god.
However, he was helpless in the current impasse.
If there is one person in the world who can break this deadlock, Yang Zhentian knows that that person must be Zhan Ying. Watching Yang Zhentian leave in a hurry, Zhao Shiqu and other generals in the cave looked at each other. This was the first time they saw their hearts.
The arrogant Zhao Shuai actually went to greet a young captain in person.
