Chapter Thirteen: The Lion's Foot
Some discussion.
Huo Jun continued to lead his headquarters to garrison Jiameng Pass to confuse the enemy.
Zhao Tong and Chen Dao led hundreds of white-eared soldiers over the mountains and ridges, around the Maming Pavilion plank road, and suddenly reached the enemy's rear to launch a night attack.
The three of them agreed to use fire as a signal.
When the enemy's camp was on fire, Huo Jun led his troops out of the pass and attacked from both sides, defeating the enemy.
Rest overnight.
The next day, the state army continued to form a formation to attack Guancheng, but Huo Jun led his troops to resist as usual.
The entire process did not reveal any flaws, and the enemy did not find any clues to be different.
In fact, at this time, Zhao Tong and Chen Dao had already led the Bai'er soldiers from Guannan through the high mountains and disappeared into the vast mountains.
We met each other in about a few days.
Maming Pavilion Plank Road.
"call!"
"I didn't expect that this plank road would be so difficult to pass. If it were an ordinary sergeant, it would be even more difficult to pass!"
After all the troops had passed, Chen Dao looked at the plank road on the cliff and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said with lingering fear.
Hearing this, Zhao Tong from the side also nodded tightly.
In his previous life, he had heard in a textbook that "the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky!"
Now that I have experienced it myself, I can feel that this statement is definitely not an exaggeration.
"Yes, this Maming Pavilion Plank Road is dozens of times more difficult and dangerous than the Luofeng Slope that was used by Tong to protect his military advisors."
After pondering for a while, Zhao Tong echoed.
After the two sighed for a while, Chen arrived and immediately ordered the number of people to be counted.
After investigation, several soldiers unfortunately stepped on the air and fell down the cliff while crossing the plank road.
"What?"
Hearing that his side had already reduced its troops before the war started, Zhao Tong suddenly felt a little unhappy, and then a few tears suddenly appeared on his tense face.
"Several brothers all insisted on walking on this plank road, which cost your lives!"
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
As he spoke, he cried bitterly.
At this moment, when the surrounding Sergeants Bai'er saw that their deputy commander was crying so profusely for the two soldiers, they couldn't help but become moved.
In an instant, hundreds of tough guys burst into tears.
Simply, Chen Dao, who was experienced in the battle formation, stopped everyone in time and told them that it was not the time to be sad, and that they should focus on defeating the enemy first.
The whole army moved all the way to the rear of the Yizhou Army.
However, by the time we reach our destination, it will still be a while before nightfall approaches.
Chen Dao made a prompt decision and led his troops to hide in the mountains and forests and wait quietly.
In a mountain valley.
At this time, Chen Dao noticed that Zhao Tong was squatting in a corner, with a trace of sadness on his face.
At first glance, I saw that his whole person was listless, as if he had lost his usual activity.
Seeing this, Chen Dao walked over slowly.
He walked closer, squatted next to it, and said, "A Tong, are you still blaming yourself for the soldier who slipped and fell down the cliff?"
After saying this, Zhao Tong was still dejected and did not reply.
Seeing this, Chen Dao pondered for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "A general must have an extremely persevering heart, otherwise it will be extremely easy for external factors to interfere with his own judgment."
"If your heart is too fragile, you will not be able to grow into an excellent commander no matter what."
After that, seeing that Zhao Tong still had a sense of self-blame and guilt on his face, he continued: "Is A Tong now blaming himself for not insisting on leading his troops to attack the enemy on the plank road that day?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhao Tong slowly raised his head, faced Chen Dao and nodded solemnly.
"But, Atong, is this decision you made really wrong?"
Suddenly, Chen Dao asked rhetorically.
"Uncle Chen?"
"A Tong, if you think about it from your perspective, if our army does not bypass Maming Pavilion, but continues to stay in seclusion until the Yizhou Army and the Hanzhong Army join forces."
"Will the situation become more complicated? Will our army lose more soldiers in dealing with the two armies?"
Speaking of this, Chen Dao paused and said in a soothing tone: "But now our army's plan is very successful. We can annihilate the Yizhou Army as soon as night falls."
"At this time, even though we are very sad for the loss of several elite soldiers, we cannot cause chaos."
"It is said that kindness does not lead to soldiers. As a general, you should hide your emotions in your heart, because we need to establish prestige in front of the soldiers."
A very solemn teaching.
At this time, Zhao Tong seemed to have figured it out. He suddenly stood up and wiped the tears on his face, and then asked: "Uncle Chen, did I violate a general's taboo just now?"
"Ha ha……"
Hearing this, Chen Dao saw that Zhao Tong had adjusted his mentality and laughed heartily.
Zhao Tong is still young and has little experience in commanding troops, so he is extremely prone to being emotional.
These arrivals were all anticipated!
Therefore, the enlightenment that I just gave so earnestly and sincerely was given.
Immediately, he replied again: "Actually, that's not the case. Atong, look at how all the soldiers are now filled with righteous indignation, and their grief and indignation have turned into anger."
After he looked around for a week, Chen Daocai smiled and said: "Sometimes, as a general, you also need to express your emotions in front of your soldiers to mobilize their fighting spirit and fighting spirit."
"But Atong, you must also remember that emotions can be expressed, but emotions must not influence judgment, let alone affect major decisions."
"Thank you Uncle Chen for your enlightenment, I will definitely keep it in mind!"
After a series of words fell, Zhao Tong just walked out, and the look of confidence on his face became stronger and stronger.
…
Soon, night fell.
The Yizhou army attacked the city but failed. After Ming Jin returned to camp and had a meal, he quickly fell asleep.
The camp, which was brightly lit just a moment ago, suddenly fell into a silent and silent night.
Only bursts of snoring could be heard from all around.
Seeing this, Chen Dao and Zhao Tong suddenly became happy when they saw this. They looked at each other and each took one of them and moved in different directions.
Since this attack was at night, it was likely to scare the enemy away, and the firelight along the way was extremely weak.
But even though there are many dark shadows around, it is not difficult for the white-ear elite soldiers to attack.
After Zhao Tong and Chen Dao divided their forces to launch a surprise attack, the progress was extremely smooth.
It was almost easy to get rid of the patrolling guards around the camp gate and invade the camp.
There is only one reason why it is so easy, and that is that the enemy camp's defense is too lax.
After breaking into the camp gate, Chen's goal was extremely clear in his mind. He lowered his voice and ordered: "Act according to the established plan."
The order is passed down.
More than a hundred white-eared elite soldiers dispersed into more than ten teams, picking up torches and marching to various places in the camp.
Military supplies department, grain and grass...
The tinder everywhere was quickly ignited.
The fire was burning fiercely, and in an instant the Yizhou military camp seemed to be ravaged by a fire dragon. The flames soared into the sky and covered dozens of miles in radius.
Naturally, Jiameng Pass knew about such a big move immediately.
Huo Jun also quickly rushed up to Guancheng, looking down at the Yizhou Army camp where the fire was raging under Guanxia, and he knew very clearly that this was Chen Dao, and Zhao Tong had already succeeded.
Immediately afterwards, he urgently rallied his troops and rushed out with a loud shout.
…
At this moment, in the northeast of the Yizhou Army camp, a large army has quietly arrived and is setting up camp here.
The first general was born with a face like powder, red lips, a slender waist and broad shoulders, a powerful voice, a white robe and silver armor, and a long spear in his hand.
