Chapter 420: Capture Ziwu Valley, send troops to Lantian and Qingni Pass!
Ziwu Valley is not too far from Lantian. If Liu Bang and others follow Fan Kuai's idea and lead an army to attack Ziwu Valley, there is a high probability that they will attract Dong Zhuo's troops who are responsible for guarding Lantian and Qingni Pass!
"A forceful attack is not advisable. If we want to take Ziwu Valley, we must first lure out all the enemy troops entrenched in the valley."
Before Chen Ping finished speaking, he saw a scout rushing to Liu Bang's side. He dismounted from his horse and bowed to salute in one go. He also saw the scout telling everyone present the specific information they had just found out in Ziwu Valley.
A cottage was built in the middle of the mountain road in Ziwu Valley. The fence of the cottage was covered with flags swaying in the wind. Each flag was embroidered with the bright red word "Hu" with a gold edge. According to the information we learned, Ziwu
General Gu is Dong Zhuo’s beloved general Hu Feng who he brought from Xiliang!
"Hu Feng? Is he the general of Li Jue of Xiliang? This officer is just a reckless man. You don't need to worry too much. Ping has his own clever plan to capture Ziwu Valley."
Why did Chen Ping claim to have a clever plan to capture Ziwu Valley when he mentioned Hu Feng? There was no other reason. Hu Feng was a subordinate of Xiliang general Li Jue, who had fought against the Qiang.
Dong Zhuo and Li Jue were appointed as the vanguard officer during the battle. They thought he would lead the army to reap the victory. However, what was surprising was that he was angered by the Qiang people's poor tactics, which ultimately led to the war against the Qiang.
Returned defeated.
If it weren't for Dong Ping, Dong Fei, Li Jue and others who came with their troops to support them in time, Hu Feng would have died on the battlefield long ago!
"If you want to capture Ziwu Valley, you only need to have the three generals Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li lead more than a thousand people dressed as bandits to call for battle, and then you can trick Hu Feng into leading his army to leave the stronghold on his own initiative.
After Hu Feng leaves the stronghold, my lord, you and General Fan Kuai can lead the army to station in Ziwu Valley, surround Hu Feng and the others, and completely eliminate the enemy in the mountain road!"
Military advisor Chen Ping came up with the plan and immediately offered it to Liu Bang. As soon as the plan came out, Liu Bang made a quick decision and ordered Fan Kuai as the chief general, Peng Yue, Lei Tong, and Leng Bao as deputy generals, and led more than 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.
Among them, Hu Feng was lured out of the stronghold and captured Ziwu Valley in one fell swoop.
"Where is General Hu Li? You take Lu Li, Yang Li, Peng Yue, Lu Wan, Guan Ying and 1,500 soldiers, dress up like bandits, and go to Ziwu Valley to call for battle. You must trick Hu Feng out."
Fan Kuai bowed to receive the order, and then took the generals behind him to count the soldiers. After counting more than a thousand soldiers, he quickly rushed towards the Ziwu Valley!
…
"General Hu Feng, there is a group of bandits outside the stronghold who are calling for battle. Should we send troops to attack them?"
Hu Feng couldn't help but frown when he listened to the information reported by the soldiers. The roads in Ziwu Valley were rugged, narrow and deserted. How could a group of bandits suddenly appear and call for battle? Could it be that they moved from nearby counties and brought me to Ziwu Valley?
The village is treated as a soft persimmon, and you want to use it to establish your authority?
It has to be said that Hu Feng was really having a lot of drama in his heart. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Without waiting for Hu Li and the others to yell and scold at the base of the stronghold, he took the initiative to take three thousand soldiers out of the stronghold and march towards Hu Feng.
Kill in the direction where the force's army is.
Hu Feng's move played right into Hu Li's plan!
"Retreat, retreat..."
Then Hu Li, who was dressed in coarse cloth and black clothes and dressed as a bandit, shouted loudly, and then, pretending to be in a state of confusion, he led the army, discarding their baggage and flags, and retreated towards Shenling.
Without thinking much, Hu Feng led his three thousand soldiers to pursue Huli and the others. Who knew that the Ziwu Valley Village behind him was in danger. After Hu Feng led his army to chase them for more than ten miles, the Ziwu Valley Village was captured. Liu Bang and the others successfully captured it!
After Liu Bang led his army to enter Ziwu Valley Village, he immediately sent Fan Kuai and five thousand elite soldiers to intercept and surround Hu Feng.
"I will obey my orders!"
"Ding! The effect of the Tiger Power Immortal's skill "Sword God" is activated. When using knife weapons, the force value is increased by 4 points. Its basic force value is detected to be 105, the tiger head decapitated black iron knife 1, and the tinea versicolor cloud horse 1. The weapon skill is activated, and the force value is increased to 109 (111)."
Just as Liu Bang in the Ziwu Valley Village was arranging tasks for Fan Kuai and the others, Hu Li and the others in the Shenling Mountain Road began to counterattack Hu Feng's army. With the activation of Hu Li's weapon skills, Hu Feng's end could be imagined. Know……
"Ding! Hu Feng's skill "Sword General" is activated. When using sword weapons, the force value is increased by 2 points. Its basic force value is detected to be 87, the weapon skill is activated, and the force value is increased to 89."
Just by comparing the force values after the skills are activated, you can see the gap between Hu Li and Hu Feng. On the battlefield, Hu Feng, whose momentum was rising steadily, waved the sword in his hand and shouted towards Hu Li's neck. Cut it off!
"How dare you try your best to master a small skill?"
A cruel light flashed in Hu Li's eyes. He sneered and raised his eyes to stare at Hu Feng. He slowly raised the tiger-headed black iron knife held tightly in his hand and blocked it in front of his chest, waiting for an opportunity to move!
Hu Feng's horse galloped out. Just when he was about to ride his horse to Huli with full confidence, he suddenly trembled all over, and a feeling of fear came into his heart.
"what happened?"
Hu Feng, who looked stunned, quickly stabilized his mind. When he adjusted his body, he realized that Hu Li in front of him was nowhere to be seen!
"What's going on, where are the people?"
"Don't look, I'm behind you."
Hu Li's light words seemed to have magic power, instantly making Hu Feng feel like he was entering an ice cave, and the chill of imminent death spread all over Hu Feng's body.
"Qiang!"
A silver light suddenly appeared, a big head flew up, and then scarlet blood spurted out from the neck of the headless corpse. Hu Feng, the guard of Ziwu Valley Village, died!
After Hu Li easily dealt with Hu Feng, he looked around at the frightened Xiliang soldiers on the battlefield with cold eyes, and said one sentence unhurriedly: "Kill them all without leaving any one behind."
The one-sided massacre began immediately. More than 3,000 Xiliang soldiers tried to resist, but they were attacked by the tiger, deer, and sheep generals, and were eventually slaughtered!
The Xiliang soldiers were slaughtered, and Hu Li's mission was successfully completed. Then Hu Li led his army to join Liu Bang and others in Ziwu Valley.
"Next is Lantian and Qingni Pass. If nothing else happens, these two places will be heavily guarded. We should be careful!"
In order to prevent accidents, military advisor Chen Ping first sent scouts to Qingni Pass to gather information. As for Lantian, Liu Bang sent Xu Dog and Youji of the Shadow Secret Guard to inquire!
The Shu army stayed at Ziwu Valley Village for three days. After the scouts and secret guards returned, the military advisor Chen Ping, who had received the specific information, frowned and urgently summoned all the generals to go to the lord Liu Bang's big tent to discuss matters.
