Chapter Twelve Execution

The continuous attack for more than ten days may be due to the steep terrain in Jiameng or the low combat effectiveness of the Yizhou army.

Jiameng Pass is still as solid as a rock.

The fighting spirit of the Yizhou sergeants was not high, and now that they had been unable to attack for many days in a row, the morale among the army formations became even lower.

Huo Jun, who was personally supervising the battle in Guancheng, had a panoramic view of this scene.

His mind also started to come alive.

"Woooo..."

The trumpet sounded again, and the defenders in the pass did not even need Huo Jun to wave his hand to command, and they had automatically turned their consciousness back again.

Without him, there are countless attacks launched by the Yizhou Army.

Even the defenders were numb.

The next attack lasted for most of the time, and the Yizhou soldiers retreated like a tide after hearing the sound of gold as usual.

The battle lasted for a long time.

Jiameng Pass is still as stable as Mount Tai.

The Yizhou army attacked the city for a long time, but found nothing except piles of corpses abandoned at the pass!

As night approaches, the sky gradually becomes covered with layers of black mist...

The defenders inside the Pass all showed expressions of great joy.

Probably because their reinforcements have arrived.

Jiameng South Gate.

As soon as he heard the news, Huo Jun immediately put on his clothes and went to greet him with everyone.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Huo Jun found that the main sergeant of the brigade was not there as he imagined. The two figures revealed in the dark shadows were Chen Dao, the commander of the Guards, and Zhao Tong, the deputy commander.

Seeing this, Huo Jun stepped forward, held his hands in front of him and asked:

"Uncle, Atong, my lord will only send you and your troops to come to our aid?"

After saying this, Huo Jun swept aside only a few hundred people behind him, so he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Hearing this, Chen Dao, who was wearing silver-white armor, eight feet tall and slender-faced, responded with a smile: "Zhong Miao, don't worry, the Lord is on his way to bring the main force in person."

"It's just that because of the long distance and the fear that the Hanzhong army under the command of Xiliang Jin Machao would attack first, Zhongmiao would be unable to resist, so he ordered Yu A Tong to lead 300 Bai'er elite troops to come for reinforcements."

After hearing Chen Dao describe the situation, Huo Jun felt relieved!

Immediately, Huo Jun led everyone into the pass to settle down.

On the way, Huo Jun also briefly explained the current situation to Chen Dao and Zhao Tong.

"Judging from the offensive over the past ten days, although the Yizhou Army has more than 10,000 people, its combat power is vulnerable to a single blow, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Our army must carefully prepare for war in order to prevent the Hanzhong Army from attacking. After all, Xiliang Jinma Chao is extremely brave and has a reputation for being outstanding, so it should not be underestimated!"

After saying this, Huo Jun immediately informed the two of them about the overall combat performance of the Yizhou Army in recent days.

Marched for a long time.

After settling down the elite Bai'er soldiers, the three of them arrived at the military mansion one after another.

In the mansion, candles are lit to illuminate the hall.

The three of them gathered around, sat cross-legged, and then got to the point.

After Chen pondered for a while, he said: "Zhong Miao, just now you mentioned on the way that the combat effectiveness of the Yizhou Army is extremely low?"

"Um."

"In this case, why don't our army take the initiative and annihilate the enemy army first? As long as the Yizhou Army collapses, the pressure on our army will be reduced drastically, and then we can calmly deploy defenses to resist the Hanzhong Army."

After saying this, Huo Jun stared closely at Chen Dao, pondered for a moment, and then responded: "Jun also thought about taking the initiative, but he never made up his mind."

"Why is this?"

"Although the enemy's combat strength is indeed too weak, their strength is several times that of our army, and the road outside Jiameng Pass is steep and narrow, and there is no cover."

"If we launch an attack during the day, we will definitely be noticed by the enemy and fall into siege."

"Even if our army is brave enough to defeat the three armies, it is not a wise move to fight head-on when the strength of the troops is too disparity!"

Having said that, Huo Jun couldn't help but feel troubled for a moment, and said with a slight hesitation: "But if it is a night attack, the terrain outside the pass is so steep and the soldiers cannot see clearly at night, so it may be difficult to achieve the effect of a surprise attack."

Huo Jun's words also caused Chen Dao to fall into deep thought for a moment.

This is indeed a problem.

After thinking for a while, neither of them came up with a proactive countermeasure.

Just when he was in trouble, Chen Dao suddenly noticed that Zhao Tong was closing his eyes in deep thought, so he asked softly: "A Tong, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tong just opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen and Brother Zhongmiao were having trouble just now on how to take the initiative. Isn't Tong thinking about good strategies so that he can share your worries?"

"Oh?" As soon as he said this, Chen Dao's expression suddenly changed and he asked: "A Tong, do you have any countermeasures in mind?"

"Um."

After hearing this, Zhao Tong did not play riddles, but directly stated his plan.

After hearing this, the expressions on both of their faces suddenly changed, and some showed a solemn expression.

"Is this... is this possible?"

Chen Dao first took a breath of cold air and then asked in surprise.

Immediately, Huo Jun from the side also said: "Go around the Maming Pavilion plank road to the rear of the enemy, and then launch an attack at night."

"This is indeed a dangerous strategy."

However, at this point, Huo Jun looked troubled and analyzed slowly: "However, this strategy faces several difficulties. The first is to detour through the Maming Pavilion plank road, which itself has to climb many mountains and ridges. The road is extremely difficult and dangerous."

"Secondly, the Maming Pavilion Plank Road is a plank road dug out of the cliff. The road is extremely narrow. I heard that anyone who passes here will fall into the cliff and be shattered to pieces if they are not careful."

"Third..."

At this point, Huo Jun's expression became more solemn and he said: "Even if we are lucky enough to pass through the Maming Pavilion plank road, if we go around and launch an attack at night, we will still face the problem of unclear sight."

"Faced with these problems, I wonder if Atong has any solutions?"

One word fell.

Huo Jun and Chen then turned their gazes to Zhao Tong with great solemnity.

They were also curious, since Zhao Tong proposed this strategy, is there any way to overcome the difficulties they are currently facing?

Looking at the solemn eyes of the two men, Zhao Tong also smiled and said in a calm tone: "Actually, the dangerous terrain or extremely difficult roads are not too difficult for our army to solve."

"Uncle Chen has commanded the elite Bai'er troops for many years. He should be confident in their physical fitness and their ability to cross the Maming Pavilion Plank Road, right?"

When he finished speaking, he paused and continued: "As for the problem of the soldiers being unable to see clearly at night, it might indeed exist if it were a military force under Brother Zhongmiao."

"Uncle Chen, our army has been traveling through the night for more than ten days. Have you ever noticed that the elite white-eared soldiers were overwhelmed by the darkness of night?"

As soon as these words came out, the scenes and pictures of this period of time appeared in Chen Daodun's mind.
