"Going south..."

"Go to Yangguan to intercept the food and fodder of Li Zhaoliang's troops, or in other words, capture Yangguan and cut off the connection between Li Zhaoliang's troops and us, and then join forces with the reinforcements led by Yeli Wangrong to attack from both sides and swallow up Li Zhaoliang's troops..."

Kou Ji frowned and speculated.

Zhu Neng nodded heavily and said: "We have been worried about changes in Li Yuanhao's arrangement, but we didn't expect that there was a change. He gave up the strategy of breaking into Guazhou and Shazhou.

Are you going to unite the Xixia cavalry led by Ye Li Wangrong, swallow up Li Zhaoliang first, and then turn around to deal with us?"

Kou Ji nodded and said: "Li Yuanhao is prepared with both hands. It is reasonable and expected."

Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng, "What I'm more concerned about is how you plan to deal with the current situation. Split your troops at Yang Pass, or storm Yumen Pass to help Li Zhaoliang's troops open another back door."

The baggage of the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses in the Western Regions were all hoarded in Shazhou.

Li Zhaoliang has now broken into Suzhou.

If the baggage wanted to be delivered to Li Zhaoliang, it could only pass through Yumen Pass and Yang Pass.

Before Li Zhaoliang captured Ganzhou and Xiliang, it was difficult to get any form of support from the Song Dynasty.

"hey-hey……"

Zhu Neng was silent for a while and smiled gloomily, "Li Yuanhao had a good plan. By abandoning Yangguan, he lured Li Zhaoliang into the game and us into the game, making us mistakenly think that he was going to attack Guazhou and Shazhou and disrupt our rear.

Now seeing that we have entered the game, we are planning to take back Yangguan, block Li Zhaoliang's escape, attack from both sides, and kill Li Zhaoliang.

But he is too disrespectful to me, Zhu Neng.

He also overestimated himself.

He can throw it away at Yangguan and take it whenever he wants. It's not that easy."

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and asked hesitantly: "You have already divided your troops and stationed in Yangguan?"

"good……"

Zhu Neng said with burning eyes: "In order to help Li Zhaoliang defend his retreat, I have spent a lot of money. Invincible mine cannons, artillery, and hundreds of tigers running together, I have placed them all in Yangguan."

Kou Ji wanted to curse.

Zhu Neng, this lunatic, started going crazy again.

Invincible mine cannons, artillery, and hundreds of tigers running together, with a limited number, are the key to dealing with Li Yuanhao's Iron Kites.

According to Kou Ji's idea, if the iron kite is not released, the invincible mine cannon, artillery and other items should not be moved out.

Before seeing the iron kite, Zhu Neng placed all these things in Yangguan.

What if the cavalry sent by Li Yuanhao to Yangguan were not Iron Kites?

What if Li Yuanhao still leaves the iron kite in Yumen Pass?

"You didn't leave any for here?"

Kou Ji asked helplessly.

Zhu Neng shook his head very bachelorly.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "What if the people Li Yuanhao sent to Yangguan weren't Iron Kites?"

Zhu Neng pondered: "Even if it's not all iron kites, there are still some iron kites."

When Kou Ji heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

He never thought about annihilating the Iron Harriers.

If the Iron Kites could be wiped out so easily, they wouldn't be Iron Kites.

Previously, outside Shazhou City, Kou Ji had spent a lot of money to allow Tie Yaozi to lose his troops.

Even though Tie Yaozi was beaten to a half-mutilation, he did not order the horse guards to pursue him in pursuit of the victory.

It's not that he has the intention to let go of Tie Yaozi, but that he knows in his heart that it is easy to cripple Tie Yaozi but difficult to destroy him.

If the iron kite really embarks on the road of escape, few people will be able to catch up.

There is a possibility that you will not be able to catch up with the iron kite, and you will have to catch yourself.

The way to deal with the iron kite is to lure the iron kite to take the initiative to attack, and then set up an ambush to severely damage the iron kite.

Now Zhu Neng has set up an ambush at Yangguan and can severely damage some of the Iron Kites, which is not bad.

Kou Ji understood what Zhu Neng was doing, stared at Zhu Neng and asked, "Then why did you look so heavy just now?"

Zhu Neng sighed: "Li Yuanhao's layout has changed, and our layout must also change. Before, we were unwilling to take Yumen Pass because we wanted to plot against Li Yuanhao based on Li Yuanhao's calculations.

Now in order to ensure the safety of Li Zhaoliang's back, we have to fight with Li Yuanhao at Yumen Pass.

I just don’t know how many iron kites Li Yuanhao left behind in Yumen Pass.

During the previous battle in Guazhou, Li Yuanhao often used the iron kite to show off his power on the battlefield.

If we fight immediately, we will always be weak."

Kou Ji frowned slightly. The battle was about to begin. Why could Zhu Neng gain other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige?

Zhu Neng saw Kou Ji's expression, and probably anticipated Kou Ji's thoughts, and said with emotion: "In this battle in Hexi, too many soldiers were lost in my hands, Zhu Neng."

Kou Ji frowned even more tightly.

The right way is to be kind and not to control soldiers.

Now that Zhu Neng suddenly has a bodhisattva-like heart, can he really command his soldiers in battle?

Zhu Neng saw that Kou Ji's brows were frowning more tightly, so he smiled bitterly and said: "I understand the truth... There is no way to avoid death in a war..."

"That's all..."

"No more to say..."

Zhu Neng shook his head, straightened his face, and shouted: "All officers and men obey the order!"

"exist!"

"Follow my general's previous subordinates and attack Yumen Pass!"

"Here!"

"..."

The more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in the camp began to move quickly following Zhu Neng's order.

The soldiers, wearing armor and holding swords, quickly gathered under the general stand set by Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng took Kou Ji to the general platform.

"Today we storm Yumen Pass, capture Li Yuanhao alive, and reward him with horses, fields, gold, silver, and officials!"

"roar!"

"..."

When Zhu Neng was in the Chinese army's tent, he had the heart of a Bodhisattva.

Once on the general stage, he is a majestic general.

A brief sentence aroused the morale of the soldiers.

He has a strong attitude of vowing not to return the Yumen until he breaks it.

"attack!"

Zhu Neng's declaration of pledge of allegiance was only a brief sentence.

The shortness made Kou Ji feel unbelievable.

Kou Ji just made a little guess and roughly guessed the reason for Zhu Neng's brief declaration.

No matter how many fancy words you say, they are not as practical as a brief declaration of rewards.

The soldiers risked their lives to fight on the battlefield. What were they fighting for?

It's wealth.

After being a soldier became a profession.

Eating noise has become the most important thing for them.

Rewards are what they care about most.

They don't care about the rest.

At least most people don't care.

After Zhu Neng issued the order to attack Yumen Pass, more than 40,000 soldiers formed battle formations, left the military camp, and marched towards Yumen Pass step by step.

The battle formation formed by more than 40,000 soldiers is very unique.

The shield soldiers cleared the way, forming two square formations of a thousand people in front.

Behind them were two phalanxes of thousands of spearmen.

The two wings were spread out in a figure of eight, and soldiers with swords and spears were mixed together, forming a square formation of two thousand people.
