Chapter 786
His plan was very simple, relying on intelligence advantages and the assault power of the Qin army, to defeat each of the Jin and Zhao army before they could truly work together...
The Inspector Jing Xiang of the General Staff stood in the tent, holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand and pointed at the large sand table in the center of the tent.
"Please see, there is a very special terrain between us and Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong. Here, the Taihang Mountains in the middle are separated from Hebei and Hedong. Here, there are two channels, Puyinxing and Feiguxing, connecting between Hedong and Weizhou and Yiding. Now, we are in the north of Weizhou, and Liu is opposite us, guarding Zhigu Pass, the gateway of Nanweizhou. Li Keyong led 10,000 cavalry to reach Feihu City from Yi County through Puyinxing, and then walked back to Lingqiu, and was coming to Zhigu Pass. Wang Jingchong has just arrived in Yi County and is about to cross Taihang through Puyinxing and enter Feihu City."
If Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong rushed to Zhigu Pass to reinforce, it would be difficult for the Qin army to fight head-on with the Jin and Zhao coalition forces to win.
"What is our plan?" Li Cunxiao asked very directly.
Jing Xiang smiled, not caring about his recklessness.
"The plan is very simple, divide, ambush, and defeat them one by one!"
Li Jing and the Senate's plan was very concise but powerful. After Jing Xiang carefully explained the entire plan, the Shangshu Province and the cabinet quickly reached an unanimous agreement.
"Li Wei!" Li Jing shouted loudly.
Li Wei was once Li Jing's earliest general of the scout camp, and later in charge of intelligence affairs. Now intelligence affairs are gradually handed over to Gongsun Lan. He is the new leader of the Yingyang Army. This Yingyang Army is the elite special forces selected by the Special Forces Battalion of the Qin army. The Qin army has always maintained an elite special forces in the Qin army. It has always played an important role in siege and breaking cities and special operations, and has made numerous military achievements.
Now the Qin army's special operations battalion has a brand new military call, which is more important to Li Jing.
Li Jing finally handed over this most elite special forces to his cousin, Li Wei, the Marquis of Pengcheng, one of the marquis of the 36 Kingdoms, and asked the earliest commander of the special forces to lead the troops himself.
Li Wei has not been on the front line for a long time. Now he is the head of this special forces that is eye-catching, and he needs to show his performance. He heard that Li Jing pointed at the general and was shocked, and he stepped forward, clenched his fists and beat his chest, and replied loudly: "The last general is here!"
"You lead the Yingyang army to set off from Anbiancheng immediately, pass through the north entrance and enter Feihu Gorge, and capture the Feihu Xing's important village, Heishi Fortress and Zijing Pass!" The order is very clear. Although this order is concise, it is not easy.
Li Wei knew very well where Black Stone Fort and Bauhinia Pass were! He also knew the importance of these two passes.
Feihu Road does not have only one passage. In fact, the complete Feihu Road actually has two passages and three forks.
The main road of Feihu, also known as the Lingqiu Ancient Road, is from Lingqiu City to Feihu City. The deputy road of Feihu is from Anbian City to Feihu City. Among them, there are two exits on Anbian City. One is the north entrance, also called Feihukou, which is the most dangerous section of the forty-mile black wind road. The other exit is at Dayukou, east of Feihukou.
There are now four entrances of the two passages of Feihu Road, among which the main passages of Lingqiukou and Feihu City are in the hands of the Jin army, but the two exits to the north of Feihu Sub-road, the north entrance and Dayukou are both in Guangbian City outside Zhigu Pass, and are in the hands of the Qin army at this time.
Black Stone Fort, a solid fortress built entirely from large black stones, is built in the middle of Feihu Bo Road, from the north entrance to Feihu City, and is seventy miles away from both exits. It is built on the dangerous Black Stone Ridge. In this 140-mile Feihu Canyon, next to the castle, there is a suspension bridge built at the entrance of the valley. Once the suspension bridge is pulled, it is indeed like "one man is at the pass, ten thousand men cannot open". Controlling the Black Stone Fort is equivalent to controlling the Feihu Deputy Road and controlling the important passage from Feihu City to Guangbian City outside Zhigu Pass.
The original name of Zijing Pass is Wuyuan Pass. Because it is located on the Zijing Ridge full of Zijing trees, it is also called Zijing Pass. However, this city is composed of five castles built on Zijing Ridge, and the five gates are connected to Zijing Ridge.
Zijing Pass is not on Feihu Pass, but on Puyin Pass, between Feihu City in Weizhou, Hedong and Yixian County in Yizhou, Hebei.
Black Stone Fort controls the Feihu Deputy Road, while Zijing Pass controls Puyin Pass.
If the Yingyang army can capture Heishi Fort and Puyin Xing, then Li Jing can bypass Zhigu Pass, guarded by Liu's family, and go directly to Feihu City with relative reading ability from the east side through the secondary road. Then, from here, you can go west to the Lingqiu Ancient Road and circle around the southern basin of Weizhou. From here, to the north, Kexin directly kills to the Zhigu Pass of Liu's family, and to the south, you can directly attack Taixi Pass, the northeastern gateway of Daizhou, and go straight to Yanmen of Daizhou.
If you go east, enter Puyin Xing and seize Zijing Pass, then Li Jing will not only block Wang Jingchong's reinforcements east of Taihang, but also directly bypass the eastern defense line of the German army, and directly enter Yiding from the Taihang Mountains west of the weak area they defended.
This is a sword coming from the west and there is nowhere to be stopped.
If this plan is realized, it can immediately change the entire battle situation. However, Black Stone Fort and Zijing Pass have been heavily built for defense since the Han Dynasty. They are important passages connecting Hebei and Hedong and even the grasslands outside the border. These two passes are not only extremely dangerous, but one man is a dangerous situation that tens of thousands of men cannot open. Li Keyong also attaches great importance to them and sends heavy troops to guard them.
Even the Yingyang Army, who is best at attacking such a city, is not sure if it is the Yingyang Army, who is best at attacking such special battles in breaking key points and breaking villages.
The Feihu Gorge, which is 140 miles long, is a great challenge. This first-line sky canyon is 140 miles long, and can reach 30 meters wide, but it can only accommodate a car in a narrow place. The two walls of the canyon are more than 100 meters high, and many places can even see sunshine all year round. Black Stone Fort is built in the most dangerous center of this canyon. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. One man is the pass, and tens of thousands of men cannot open. The Yingyang Army is going to attack such a pass, and it is not just a single one, but also a Zijing Pass. In addition, Wang Jingchong was leading tens of thousands of troops to pass here at this time.
Therefore, the Yingyang army had limited time, and Li Jing gave them only two days to march and attack the city. In two days, not only would they have to march for two hundred miles, but they also had to capture two important passes!
This is a huge challenge!
This challenge was so great that Li Wei hesitated after hearing the verdict. He did not dare to make a promise easily and said, "Your Highness, this..."
"Didn't hesitate, follow the order!" Li Jing patted his shoulder, "I know how difficult this task is, but we need you to complete the task. Within two days, you can seize Black Stone Castle, Flying Fox City, and Bauhinia Pass. To complete this task, besides the five thousand Eagle Young Special Forces soldiers in your hand, what else do you need? Just speak!"
Li Wei swallowed his saliva and felt unprecedented nervousness. He had just forgotten to count Feihu City, and if he wanted to win the Zijing Pass, Feihu City must be taken.
"I need fast horses, each Yingyang Army is equipped with two horses."
"Satisfies you, transfer 12,000 war horses to Yingyang Army to give you the strongest motivation." Li Jing replied immediately.
"I also need firearms, plenty of gunpowder!"
"Same satisfy you, you can take away everything you need from the Baptistery Battalion of Engineers!"
......
"Are there any other requirements?" Li Jing asked.
Li Wei tightened her teeth and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head slowly, "It's gone!"
Li Jing nodded to him and immediately shouted: "Very good, go and prepare immediately and try to lead the troops immediately!"
Li Wei's body trembled, "As for the order!"
Seeing Li Wei leave the tent with a firm face, the cabinet chief minister said with some concern, "Can Hou Pengcheng complete this task?"
"No need to worry, even if Li Wei can only capture the Black Stone Fort, the plan will still be feasible. Even if Li Wei can't even take the Black Stone Fort, as long as he can block Feihu Gorge, then we only need to adjust the strategy slightly at that time, and there will still be no problem."
"Then why did the King of Qin want General Li Wei to bear such a heavy burden?" Cao Ye was a little puzzled.
"There is motivation when there is pressure. If Li Wei really finds it difficult to complete this task, it will naturally be even better."
Shortly after the order was passed, Li Wei immediately conveyed the military order to Yingyang Army, and then selected war horses, firearms and other equipment, and roared southward.
Li Wei led the Yingyang Army to leave. The four generals of the four generals, Fu Shen, the brigade cavalry commander, Yang Shihou, the brigade cavalry commander, Li Cunxiao, the brigade cavalry commander, Gao Siji, the brigade cavalry commander, also received a message from Li Jing and went to the central army's tent to meet.
Li Jing was very gentle to the four disciples. Now, the thirteen disciples under his sect, except for Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu, all the other eleven have become the core of the Qin sanctuary. Except for Li Rang who is a civil servant and is now in charge of Qin sanctuary's money bag, the other ten disciples are all the chief generals of the army, all of whom are the marquis of the country, and are also appointed as the Taibao of the Procuratorate.
It has to be said that these disciples were all famous generals in their original history. After Li Jing recruited them and gave them the opportunity to practice for several years, perhaps it is not yet the peak of their history, but they have all become generals, showing their glory and making their mark.
Li Jing praised the four disciples and explained in detail the outstanding performances of the last few times, especially Fu Shen and Yang Shihou's last strange plan to capture the army, which was greatly praised.
Fu Shen and Yang Shihou came to the school a little later than Gao Siji and Li Cunxiao, and had a slightly lower qualification, so they were very respectful to sit here. Gao Siji was the most handsome among the disciples, but also the most polite. Only Li Cunxiao had a straightforward temper. She was sitting there at this time, thinking that she didn't get the chance this time and led her troops to capture the Black Stone Castle City.
"Huchen, do you really want to lead troops to fight?" Li Jing asked with a smile.
"Of course, it's a pity that Your Highness won't give you this opportunity." Li Cunxiao said.
Li Jing glanced over the four disciples and said, "Okay, now I'll give you a chance. You should know that we also came to Daibei a few years ago and fought a war at Zhigu Pass. That time, we were facing Liu, Li Siyuan and others. That time, we easily took Zhigu Pass, remember."
Li Cunxiao smiled embarrassedly, "That time, I didn't listen to military orders and took dozens of cavalry to chase Li Keyong's wife to Taixiguan. This made the elder brother, second brother and third brother come to rescue him, and rushed into Taixiguan, almost causing the brothers to finish playing."
Li Jing laughed loudly. The four disciples were indeed extremely impulsive at that time, but the impulsiveness was indeed amazing. Li Cunxiao and more than ten people dared to rush into Taixi Pass, Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, and Gao Siji dared to raid Taixi Pass, and finally even supported the reinforcements to help the army seize Taixi Pass. This past event was like a legend. That impulse, the affection between brothers and comrades, and the righteousness of life and death, was indeed touching. To this day, the Qin army is still admired by countless soldiers.
However, Li Jing’s old story is brought up again at this time, of course not for those.
"Chengwu, Huchen, do you still remember that time when we captured Zhigu Pass because the four of you brothers found a shortcut and after catching Zhigu Pass, they broke through this pass, right?"
The white horse and silver spear Gao Siji nodded, "There is indeed a path east of Zhigu Guan. The path was originally a mountain village connected to the small hanging temple on the hanging wall in the mountain. Not many people knew about it and there was no defense. Therefore, we were able to go around to Zhigu Pass and succeeded. Did Your Highness want to use the same trick again? However, I heard that the Shatuo people were prepared on that path. Three stone villages were established in the dangerous place in the mountain road, each with one thousand troops stationed, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Li Jing smiled, "That's the past, not now. Now the three military camps have only half of their soldiers defended. In Zhigu Guanzhong, there are only three thousand combat soldiers at this time, and the remaining 20,000 are auxiliary soldiers. I will give you a task now. You four will lead 10,000 troops to copy this path, take down these three military camps, go around to the bottom of Zhigu Pass, and then seize Zhigu Pass."
Gao Siji was a little surprised, "Isn't Liu in Zhigu Pass the charge? She has more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, and there are 20,000 combat soldiers."
"Don't worry about Liu. She and her deputies were already in the mountain pass north of Zhigu Pass. She thought she was secretly squatting for two days and two nights, waiting to ambush us!"
Li Cunxiao was also stunned, "Sir, since he had known that Li Keyong wanted to ambush us, why didn't he lead his troops to destroy her sooner?"
Li Jing smiled, "Liu is a good bait. If we took Liu off too early, Li Keyong would not have rushed over in such a hurry. If he doesn't come, how can we ambush him and how can we lure Wang Jingchong into the trap? In short, Liu is a good bait. Since she likes to squat in such rainy and snowy weather, let her continue to squat. When you take down Zhigu Pass, we will invite her back then."
Gao Siji and the other four were shocked. They did not expect that the King of Qin was playing such a big game of chess. This game not only plotted against Li Quanzhong, but also plotted against Li Kexiu. Now, they also plotted against the three Datong divisions, Li Keyong, Liu, Wang Jingchong and others.
