Chapter 294
The loss of Yumen Pass meant that Yang Lin and Yang Su, the two soldiers and horses, had become lone troops.
Outside of them was Wang Mang personally leading the four major legions, surrounding them in them.
The next morning, before dawn, the archers, under the instruction of Zhuge Liang, shot the strips of cloth that were written all over the Yumen Pass and Han Baohu was killed to the city wall through sharp arrows.
Of course, the Great Sui soldiers who picked up these sharp arrows also noticed the strips of cloth on the sharp arrows, and when they picked them up and looked at the news on them, they were immediately shocked.
They didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly collected some of these strips of cloth and reported them to Yang Lin in the city.
In Anmi City, in the council hall, Yang Lin looked at the strip of cloth in his hand, which was already on it, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Hmph, I really didn't expect that Han Baohu would lose the Yumen Pass so easily
! As a result, our army's rear road was cut off, and Wang Mang's two major armies surrounded
our army outside the city! In the absence of reinforcements and grain and grass, our army had only one way to break through. Yang
Lin deserves to be a veteran of a hundred battles, and after quickly analyzing the battle situation on the scene, he immediately made a decision.
The generals below immediately looked at each other when they heard this, and they all had no confidence in the next breakthrough battle.
"General, the enemy's soldiers and horses are several times that of our army, this...
"Yes, and the enemy will definitely think that our army will break through to the west, and they will definitely lay heavy troops there.
"Yes, that Wang Mang is like a god with his troops, and it is impossible not to guess that our army will break through to the west. Even if Wang Mang couldn't guess it, Zhuge Liang under his command would guess it. "
The generals voiced their worries one by one, and they were all worried that they would be ambushed by heavy troops when they broke through.
But Yang Lin sneered when he heard this: "Such a simple truth, even you can think of it, can't Ben Jiang think of it?
Hmph, this time Ben Jiang does not plan to break through to the west and return to Dasui, but plans to break through to the east and take Chang'an City with a long-distance attack!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was shocked.
No one expected that Yang Lin would actually do the opposite!
Instead of breaking through from the west, he would break through from the east and go straight to Chang'an City.
According to the information that the Great Sui had obtained before, Yang Lin knew that many of Wang Mang's legions had either gone to Yamatai or were dealing with them, and even left four legions in the Great Song and Qing Dynasty.
In this way, a fool can calculate that Wang Mang does not have many soldiers and horses in Chang'an City.
As long as they break through and lead people to Chang'an City, they will definitely hit Dahua's morale hard in a short period of time.
This is their chance to turn the tables on the ground!
Now they are desperate and have no choice but to give it a go.
"Generals, if this battle is not successful, you will become benevolent!" Yang
Lin said with a ruthless face: "In order to confuse Wang Mang and Dahua soldiers and horses, I also asked General Gao Gong to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to break through to the west, pretending that our army is trying to break through from that side."
In addition, General Liu Fang and Zhou Fashang
led 10,000 troops respectively, breaking through from the south and north, so that the enemy army could not know the intentions of our army! While this general personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses, after you attracted the attention of the enemy army, the leading army rushed out from the east!
"Yes!" The three named generals looked at death as if they were at home.
They are all famous generals of the Great Sui, and they know that this battle is very important, so they can only sacrifice.
Only by attracting the siege of the main force of Dahua's soldiers and horses could they create an opportunity for Yang Lin to break out from the east.
After making up his mind, the Great Sui soldiers and horses in the city were also immediately mobilized.
However, how could the mobilization of soldiers and horses in their city be hidden from Wang Mang's eyes.
After all, the Condor Brigade of the Condor Legion is here, and they only need to fly into the air to detect the movement of soldiers and horses in the city.
Such a large-scale mobilization of soldiers and horses, and the neighing of war horses, had long attracted the attention of Zhuge Liang outside the city.
He concluded that Yang Lin would definitely take action after learning the news of the loss of Yumen Pass.
After discovering the neighing of war horses and the dust in the city, Zhuge Liang sent a flying wing brigade to investigate.
Now Gongsun Sheng has refined many small wind talismans for Wang Mang, which is enough for the Flying Wing Brigade to squander.
Soon, the Flying Wing Brigade probed the situation in the city and quickly returned to the barracks to tell Wang Mang and Zhuge Liang the news.
"Oh, Yang Lin put most of the soldiers and horses on the west side, it seems that he really wants to break through from the west side in a desperate attempt and retreat back to the Great Sui from that side!" Wang
Mang couldn't help but smile when he heard the news.
But Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple.
Li Cunxiao, who was on the side, narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "What is the opinion of the military advisor? Could it be that Yang Lin's old guy can still break through from other directions at this moment?
You must know that the west is the only shortcut for them to retreat to the Great Sui, and they have no other way than to break through from there!"
Li Cunxiao is strong in martial arts, and he is also bold, and he has always been straightforward, and he was surprised by Zhuge Liang's opposition to Wang Mang's words.
Even Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others were surprised at the moment, but they didn't expect Zhuge Liang to have different opinions.
Just when everyone was surprised, they saw Zhuge Liang smile slightly, and shook the feather fan in his hand lightly: "Breaking through from the west, even a few generals can think of it, can't Yang Lin think of it?
This person has been a general for many years and has experienced a hundred battles, he must also be able to guess that our army can think that he will break through from the west, so as to lay a heavy ambush over there."
But even so, he had already placed most of his troops there, which was extremely unusual.
I assume this man must have other plans, but we don't know it.
Your Majesty, Wechen suggested that heavy troops should indeed be deployed in the west, but other directions should not be neglected.
Now they are trapped and can do anything, and we have to guard against it.
It is better to ask General Zilong to lead 20,000 white horse cavalry as a reserve, and if something is found wrong in any direction, General Zilong can lead the army to attack. Zhuge
Liang was very cautious, even if he surrounded all Yang Lin's soldiers and horses here, he didn't dare to underestimate the other party.
The west side is indeed the direction in which the Great Sui soldiers and horses will focus on breaking through, and Zhuge Liang also agrees to deploy heavy troops there.
But this should not be overlooked because of this matter, so he suggested leaving a reserve cavalry in case of emergency.
After all, the cavalry is very mobile, and even if there are other accidents, 20,000 cavalry is enough to threaten 50,000 infantry.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Wang Mang pondered for a moment before agreeing: "Kong Ming is right to be cautious! After
all, the battle of trapped beasts also requires all his strength, and this Yang Lin is a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and it is indeed not to be underestimated."
The order was issued, General Li Cunxiao led the Condor Army to block the west, Ma Chao and Jia Fu led the army to block the north and south respectively, and the east was blocked by General Pang De's army.
In addition, Zilong led 20,000 cavalry to stand by in the east, ready for emergencies!
" "Yes!"
