Chapter 261

Pingshan pass is a pass city built in the northern hills of Xihe county. Its location is just between Xihe county and Tianxing Wangji. It is an important road connecting Wangji and Xihe county. Its geographical location is very important. But also because it was built in the mountains, although the city is not high, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

First of all, Pingshan pass is built according to the mountain situation. The terrain of the pass city is much higher than that of other places. In front of the pass, there is a slope about six li long and inclined downward. If you want to attack this pass, you must attack on your back, which is a disaster for the siege side. Secondly, Pingshan pass was built between the two Gorges. No matter how many troops could not be deployed in front of Pingshan pass because of the blocking of mountains. Finally, it was Xie Daoheng, the youngest but the best military strategist of the young generation of the Xie family, who led the army to Pingshan pass.

This is the reason why Gu Qingcheng and Zhai ningquan did not attack Pingshan pass northward after they took Xihe county. Instead, they turned East and joined Princess Tianxiang in Chenbing Heyan county.

Now Zhuge Ya led 10000 Xihe troops and 1000 Fengxiang yunqi troops to build barracks at Pingshan pass, blocking the possibility of Tianxing sending troops from Pingshan pass to recover Xihe county. According to the comparison of the forces between Pingshan pass and Zhuge ya, Zhuge Ya is more persistent than enterprising.

According to Gu Qingcheng, it may be the best way to break the deadlock at this stage to divide the troops to attack Pingshan pass. Although Pingshan pass is located in the hinterland of Tianxing, it has not been attacked since it was built. Therefore, the repair situation of Pingshan pass is much worse than that of Heyan City. Although there were not many troops in front of Pingshan pass, there were not as many defenders in Pingshan pass as in Heyan city.

If you really break Pingshan pass, then Fengxiang cloud riding can go through Pingshan gorge to Tianxing capital. Once the Fengxiang army appeared under the Star City, the capital of Tianxing king, Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian, who are now defending Heyan City, may not have such a firm heart as they are now. After all, their parents, wives and children and their immediate relatives are all in the star city.

Su Leyi pondered for a while and said, "before Qiu Xu returns to Zhongxing city and rearranges Wang Ji's defense, it's a good strategy to attack Pingshan pass. Just how many troops should be sent? Who should lead the army? What should we do if we can't break through the city barrier in a short time? "

After hearing Su Leyi's three questions, he fell into silence.

As Su Leyi said, the terrain of Pingshan pass is very dangerous. How many troops should be sent to complete it, and who should lead the troops at the same time. In the current Army outside Heyan City, there are six people who can take charge of their own affairs. Among these people, Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi are the first, then Gu Qingcheng, ye Zhiqiu and Nie Pingjing, and finally Yu Tianxiang, the princess of Tianxiang. But of the six, Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi are going to be in the middle army, while the other four are too young to win Pingshan pass.

"Since I put forward the plan, I will go." Gu Qingcheng glanced in the account, his bright eyes flickered slightly, and said firmly, "but I need 10000 Fengxiang yunqi and 20000 soldiers, plus 10000 troops of Zhuge general outside Pingshan pass, a total of 40000 troops."

Gu Jieyun, Su Leyi and Yu Tianxiang frowned at the words. After the battle of Tianxing, if one of the generals is the hardest, it is Gu Qingcheng.

First, he led Fengxiang yunqi to sweep seven counties in Henan Province. Then he made a detour to attack Xihe county. He took Xihe County in his hand. Then he surrounded Heyan county with Yu Tianxiang. Then he rushed for thousands of miles to push back Qiu Xu's army. Finally, he returned to Heyan county. It can be said that Gu Qingcheng participated in every battle on the south line of Tianxing after the war. Now she even volunteered to attack the dangerous Pingshan pass. Even though they knew the reason for her doing so, they couldn't bear it.

But if we have to make a difference, Gu Qingcheng is the only one to lead the army, because she has an advantage that no one else has, that is, the more than 10000 Wolves under the command of the white wolf king. When fighting in the mountains and forests, this wolf pack can play a more powerful role than any organized army in Daqian.

"Qing Cheng, have you thought about it?" Gu Jieyun looks at Gu Qingcheng solemnly. At this time, she really feels that her niece has grown up and become a famous marshal who can shoulder the important responsibilities of her family and country. Looking at Gu Qingcheng's beautiful and firm face, Gu Jieyun is in a trance, because she sees herself from her niece Gu Qingcheng and is just as infatuated, It's the same regardless.

"Qing Cheng is willing to set up a military order. Please give it to the commander." Gu Qingcheng touched the ground on one knee and made the highest military salute in the army.

"Yue Yi, what do you think?" Looking at Gu Qingcheng, Gu Jieyun did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Su Leyi on one side.

"You don't need the military order, but there are fewer 30000 troops. Let the scouting camp led by Ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang and Li Chang go with Fengqi camp." Speaking of this, Su Leyi looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, "the predecessors of these two battalions were the Yulin scouting battalion and the fast wind Qingqi led by you and Lu que last year. Now that they are under your command, I believe they can add a lot of combat power."

"Thank you, sergeant." Gu Qingcheng is very happy when she hears that which army she is most familiar with, it is definitely not the left army of Fengxiang army that is under her command now, but the Yulin scouting camp and fast wind Qingqi that won the Danshui battle and hexingyuan battle with her and Lu que last year, although he Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan have been transferred from here now, But as an old army leader for the first time in her life, she can name every veteran, even their native place and family background.

If these two battalions of 6000 people are under her command, and ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang and Li Chang help each other, Gu Qingcheng believes that just Pingshan pass can't stop her.

"Since you have this intention, then do as you want. We are here waiting for your success." Gu Jieyun got up and went to Gu Qingcheng to tidy up her body. Zhan Jia said, "look at the weather outside. It will rain for some time. You just use this time to prepare. When the rain stops, you can send troops by yourself. You don't have to report to me any more."

At this point, Gu Jieyun stopped for a moment, bowed his head and continued, "Zhai Ning has been fighting under your command since Guangji county. When you lead the army to the west, Zhai Ning's headquarters are still under your command. You have the right to make decisions about the war in Xihe county and Pingshan pass. "

Gu Qingcheng smell speech whole body a shock, looking at a face of love Gu Jieyun, heavily nodded. If it is still within Gu Jieyun's and Su Leyi's authority to transfer Ye Zhiqiu and Zhai Ning to her, then the final discretion is beyond their authority. Even after the victory of the war, the emperor will not be investigated, but now the two undoubtedly shoulder a great relationship.

"The city will live up to its trust." Gu Qingcheng forced himself down and said“ If there's nothing else, I want to go back to camp and get ready now. "

"Do you want to send troops in this rainy day?" Su Leyi thought a little and understood Gu Qingcheng's intention. She frowned and asked.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "the army is precious and fast. At this time, Qiu Xu is on the way back to the star city. Once he returns to the star capital, he will use his military power to suppress the opposition of all parties. The first thing to do is to reinforce the defense around the capital. Since we are going to divide our forces, we must conquer Pingshan pass and open up the Western passage before Qiu Xu. "

"But the rain ~" Su Leyi said again.

Gu Qingcheng raised his hand to stop Su Leyi and said, "military strategist, more than ten counties to the east of Xihe county city and the west of Heyan city have been taken by Zhai Ning. Even if there are still enemies in the county, we can't threaten tens of thousands of troops. What we are facing is only bad weather and muddy roads. Last year, Lu Que and I were in such weather for thousands of miles, I believe that these are nothing to our Fengxiang soldiers. "

"Since you've thought so well, do it." Gu Jieyun raised his right hand in the air and patted it on Gu Qingcheng's shoulder. Before returning to the main case in the account, he picked up a red gold arrow from the desk and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.

To tell the truth, Gu Jieyun doesn't want Gu Qingcheng to lead his army to the West. After the war, Gu Qingcheng, his niece, won many victories, and Qiu Xu, who had more than 100000 troops, was forced to retreat by her. It can be said that she made great achievements in the war. If there is no accident, after the end of the war, Gu Qingcheng's military achievements have been qualified to go up to a higher level and become the real commander of the first army. He will not be constrained by anyone except his majesty and waige.

Pingshan pass is extremely dangerous, and Xie Daoheng is not easy to deal with. Once Gu Qingcheng is frustrated under Pingshan pass, or even defeated at the expense of her troops, her previous contributions may be greatly reduced, which Gu Jieyun does not want to see. But Gu Jieyun knows that with the character of her niece Gu Qingcheng, the things she has decided in her heart will never be easily changed. At this time, the only thing that can change Gu Qingcheng's mind is Lu que, who is in the imperial capital.

"I'm leaving." Gu Qingcheng arched his hand to the three people in the account and turned to leave.

But when she came to the camp door, Yu Tianxiang, who had been standing nearby, stopped him.

Yu Tianxiang looks at this intimate friend from childhood with a complicated face. His lips murmur twice, but he doesn't make any sound. They have been put on a par since childhood. After entering Fengming academy together, they are called imperial Shuangshu by good people. It can be said that when Yu Tianxiang mentions her, he will surely mention Gu Qingcheng, and vice versa.

But now, Yu Tianxiang can clearly feel that Gu Qingcheng has come to the front of her, no matter in mind or cultivation. Thinking of this, Yu Tianxiang took a deep breath, looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, "Qingcheng, the battlefield is dangerous, we must be careful."

Gu Qingcheng smelled that a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and touched his right hand in the gap between the armor. Under the armor, it was the long life soft armor she gave her when she was about to leave. He said happily, "don't worry, I won't die here if I haven't fulfilled my engagement."

With that, Gu Qingcheng lifted up his tent and walked into the rain outside. When Gu Qingcheng walked into the rain, a layer of delicate fluorescence suddenly appeared around his body, blocking all the rain outside.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi shrunk their eyes at the same time and looked at each other involuntarily. At this time, a voice sounded in their hearts: "Yuqi Qichong, it's true to return to the false." From xiyuanze out, Gu Qingcheng once again completed the accumulation, made a new breakthrough.

Facing the wind and rain, walking westward in the company camp for a while, Gu Qingcheng finally returned to the left army camp under her command. After returning to the middle tent of the camp, Gu Qingcheng quickly unloaded her armor and put it on one side of the shelf. Wearing only the inner armor, she could not help feeling relaxed. She stretched her body for a long time and sighed with comfort.

"You're going to fight again." Just when Gu Qingcheng wanted to calm down and think about how to attack Pingshan pass, a slightly stagnant voice appeared in Gu Qingcheng's mind. Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Qingcheng could not help but smile and swept around the tent. He saw the white wolf king Bai Xia, who was lying beside the brazier in the tent.

"Yes, we'll leave when the rain drops a little bit." Gu Qingcheng took out a wide toothed rhinoceros horn comb from a wooden frame, went to the white wolf king and gently combed his soft and slender hair.

"Where is it this time?" As the top spirit beast of xuanjie, the white wolf king, who had already opened his mind, was not surprised by Gu Qingcheng's words and asked directly.

"To the north of Xihe River, Pingshan pass." Then Gu Qingcheng took the map on the table to the white wolf king, pointed out Pingshan's position on the map to him, and also pointed out their current position to him.

"The surrounding areas are either cliffs or grass, mountains and forests. It's a good place for wolves to fight, but the high walls of Chengguan are troublesome." The white wolf king looked at the map for a while, and the Spirit said. Taking the cultivation state of the white wolf king at this time as an example, his intelligence is no less than that of the human race, and even better than that of ordinary people. In terms of perception and intuition, the Terran can't compare with it. Baixia can naturally see the labels on the map.

"The repair of Pingshan pass is not as good as that of Heyan city. Maybe we can find a weak place." Gu Qingcheng thought about it and said, "it's just that we don't have much time. It's only about 30 days for us to have a full budget."

"So short?" There was a surprise in Bai Xia's wolf eyes. From here to Pingshan pass, he had to cross half of Heyan County, more than half of Xihe County, and then there was a canyon mountain road. If it was only the wolves he led, he would be able to get there in ten days, but if he and Fengxiang soldiers were added, it would be good to get there in less than 15 days and more than 20 days.

"Why are you so anxious?" White wolf king some don't understand of ask a way.

"Because Lu wants to end the Tianxing war before the new year's day, Xie and Chai can't get out now. If they don't want to lose too many troops, they have to find another way."

"Lu que?" Thinking of the boy who hadn't seen him for more than half a year, the white wolf king also showed a smile and said, "since it's Lu Que's idea, let's have a try. Let's see if it's Pingshan pass, Chengjian Chigu, or my strong wolf army."

"Bai Xia, the reason why Lu que did this was that he was worried that xiyuanze would break out an animal tide. Now you are the top spirit beast of xuanjie. Can you feel the change in xiyuanze?" Gu Qingcheng asked.

"No, it's a little far away." Bai shook his head, got up, changed his posture, squatted or touched beside him like a clock, and continued, "but I can feel the blood gathering in the northwest sky. If it's not mass killing, or some dangerous and inexplicable forces are gathering, but xiyuanze is extremely secretive. Even if we've been in, we may not have one in ten thousand of xiyuanze wherever we go. "

Gu Qingcheng nodded, but there was a haze in her heart. As she had been in xiyuanze, she naturally knew how dangerous it was. If there had been no royal spirit beast who came to xiyuanze with split projection, she and Lu que might have gone back to hell now.

"If only Lu were here." Gu Qingcheng sighed and said that everyone has his own strong points, and in the overall situation, Lu is undoubtedly much better than his peers. Even the older generation, there are only a few people who can compare with him. It's thousands of miles from here to Qianyuan, the capital of the emperor. Even if the white jackdaw flies very fast, it will inevitably be delayed when the news reaches the capital. In this way, it's a good strategy, but it can't be used because of the time.

Gu Qingcheng believed that if Lu que was in the front line to command the overall situation, the war would not fall into such a deadlock. With Lu Que's military strategy talent, no matter Xie Daoxian, Chai Yuanjian, Qiu Wenhui and Chen Guangliang, they would not be his opponents.

Thinking of Qiu Wenhui and Chen Guangliang, Gu Qingcheng sighs again. Their attitude has obviously been relaxed. Chen Guangliang, in particular, can make him surrender with just a little fire. But what everyone didn't expect was that when they saw the main force of Fengxiang army coming here and learned that Qiu Xu had withdrawn his troops from Hekou, they were both willing to die, but they just wanted to die.

Although the two were hesitant before, Gu Qingcheng still admired the strength of the two at this time. The two generals of the new generation of Tianxing really showed that Tianxing should have the bearing of inheriting for hundreds of years.

Gu Qingcheng sat for a long time and asked, "Bai Xia, where are your wolves now?"

"The wolves need too much blood every day. Except for the shadow wolves who guard around the company and camp, the rest of them are scattered in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away. Now they should be in the mountains and forests 30 miles away from the West." The white wolf king closed his eyes and said.
