Chapter 837
Yu Chigong was pure in heart, seeing that the Han army pretended by Li Cunmao was so domineering and slaughtered his brothers, he naturally put his hatred on the Han army and turned to Liu Bei.

Having obtained the luggage, food and grass sent by Liu Bei, Yu Chigong was also unambiguous, and ordered troops to attack Yanshan Guanzhai the next day.

Outside of Yanshan Mountain is the grassland occupied by foreign races in the north. Although there is the danger of Yanshan Mountain to block the foreign races, from ancient times to the present, soldiers and horses of various generations in Youzhou have also built a large number of forts in Yanshan Mountain, and the checkpoints are used to guard against foreign races.

There are more than a hundred checkpoints, large and small. Even if there are many foreign troops, it will take at least a month to conquer the Yanshan defense line.And one month is enough to mobilize troops from other parts of the country for defense.

However, at this time, the alien race outside Yanshan had been destroyed for many years, and the Mongols and the Han had signed a peace treaty, so for a long time, no battlefield broke out in Yanshan.The defense of the soldiers also retreated to the border area of ​​Yuyang.

Yu Chigong led the soldiers all the way from the periphery of Yanshan to the depths of Yanshan, but still no soldiers and horses of the Han army noticed.

In a fort in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, Yu Chigong marched here, and the journey was so smooth, Yuchigong finally felt that something was wrong: "This fort is very old and dusty, and no one has been stationed there for at least a year and a half. Then Didn’t the Han army who killed our brothers a few days ago stay in these places?”

A cavalry general explained: "Perhaps they carried dry food and hurried all the way so there was no trace left."

Yu Chigong frowned: "The weather is so hot now, they have more than a thousand cavalry, carrying dry food to Yanshan, I'm afraid it's impossible? No matter what, there will be supplies to accompany the army. Even if people eat dry food, but the horses' Forage must be carried. But I have walked all the way, so many checkpoints, Wubao, but there is no sign of soldiers and horses resting anywhere."

The cavalry general who colluded with Liu Bei saw that Yu Chigong was suspicious, and said: "General, don't worry about it. There is more than one road in this Yanshan Mountain. Maybe those Han troops came from other places. Now these Wubao There are no soldiers and horses stationed in the middle, so we can just drive straight into Yuyang to relieve Liu Shijun's worries."

Yu Chigong reassured the doubts in his heart and said: "Hello, I have been entrusted with the matter of loyalty. Since I have taken Liu Shijun's things, I should do things for him well. It is good that there are no people in these fortresses, so I can do it." Attack Yuyang in one go, so as to attract more soldiers and horses. Let the soldiers rest quickly, we will continue to march later, and try to get a few more villages today!"

At ten o'clock at noon the next day, Yuchi Gong's troops arrived at the border of Yuyang, within the range of Nanling of Yanshan Mountain.

Here Yu Chigong's cavalry was discovered by the scouts of the Han army, watching the patrolling scouts of the Han army fleeing on horseback and fleeing to Wubao in front.Yu Chigong ordered: "Brothers, kill the general for me, don't give the Han army time to prepare!"

After Yu Chigong finished speaking, he rode his horse and chased him alone. The scouts of the Han army fled to the base of Wubao, and shouted to the soldiers above: "There are enemies coming, close the gate of the village quickly."

"It's late!" Yuchi Gong from the rear rode his horse and chased after him. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to the rear of the soldiers. With a spear in his hand, he stabbed the scout under the horse.

The wooden door made of wood was destroyed by Yuchi Gong's spears in twos and twos, and they rushed into the fort. Only then did the Han army inside react, but there were only more than two hundred soldiers in the pot, so there was no match for Yu Chigong.The soldiers were killed in a blink of an eye, and the Han army was terrified of being killed, knowing that they could not defend, so they had to retreat to the south, reminding the soldiers at the rear checkpoints to strictly guard.

When the soldiers brought by Yu Chigong followed up, the Han army in Wubao had already abandoned Wubao and fled.

"Leave a hundred people to guard Wubao, and the rest will continue to chase and seize the stronghold with me!" Yu Chigong did not hesitate, and after the soldiers and horses followed, he continued to attack, taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

The next camp was only ten miles away, and the time for a stick of incense came. The Han army entered the camp and summoned soldiers to defend.On the back foot, Wei Chi Gong led the cavalry in pursuit.

The precipitous checkpoints of Yanshan Mountain are all deep in the middle of the country, and now it is far away from Yuyang. Most of the checkpoints are not too steep, and they only use the terrain to establish camps. Besides, there are not many defenders in the north. There are two to 300 people in Dazhai. Only dozens of people.

One day and one night, Yu Chigong led the soldiers to attack the city all the way without sleep. Due to the small number of Han soldiers and the rugged and difficult roads inside Yanshan, it was impossible to gather soldiers to support them.Therefore, the defenders of the Han army were also defeated in a row, and Yu Chigong captured more than a dozen checkpoints in a row.

Fortunately, the Han army blocked Yu Chigong's way by relying on the last barrier of Yanshan.

Baitan is located in the northern part of the Yuyang border, on the outskirts of Yanshan Mountain, but the terrain here is steep, and the Baitan Pass is quite solidly built.It is an important military town in the north of Yuyang, and there are [-] defenders here, plus the soldiers who have been retreating into Baitan from the inside, there are more than [-] people in total.

Baitanguan stands horizontally on Baitan Mountain, stuck between the two mountains. The wall of the pass is about several hundred meters long and about two feet high, which can be regarded as easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Most of Yuchi Gong's soldiers and horses are cavalry, who are good at riding and shooting, charging, and chasing and fighting.It used to be able to advance all the way because the number of people at the checkpoint was too small to be stationed, but there were more than 1000 soldiers at Baitanguan.Yu Chigong's cavalry were not good at fortified battles, and they charged several times, killing or injuring more than a hundred people. Yu Chigong felt distressed, but finally stopped the attack, which made the Han army heave a sigh of relief.

"I have a total of 5000 soldiers and horses in Xuanjia Jingqi. I have only brought [-] people here. We are short of manpower and it is difficult to overcome this pass. You return quickly and mobilize the remaining soldiers and horses to arrive here. It will be easy to overcome this pass." Yuchi Gong After going down to the village, I found my confidants to go back and gather soldiers and horses, preparing to attack Baitan Pass with all my strength.

On the side of the Han army, the general guarding the pass saw that Yuchi Gong's soldiers and horses had stopped attacking, so he summoned his confidants to ask Liu Bian for help in the direction of Pinggu.

The cavalry rode their horses all the way south, but they arrived at the Pinggu camp in one day, reported to the guard, and were summoned by Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty, a group of foreign cavalry came from Yanshan Mountain, and now they have attacked Baitan Pass. The situation is extremely critical. Please send your troops to rescue quickly." The guard reported to Liu Bian.

Since there were no fierce generals fighting, it was just soldiers playing small fights, the system did not remind Liu Bian and did not know the specific situation.

"How many soldiers and horses are there? What banners are they playing?" Liu Bian asked the guard.

The guard cupped his hands and said: "Because there has been no war in Yanshan for a long time in the past few years, I have relaxed my defenses. They attacked all the way. I only know that they have brought 2000 troops. As for whether they have other soldiers and horses, I don't know at the end. .As for their banners, they haven't displayed them, but their weapons and equipment are quite sophisticated, and I'm afraid they are not ordinary cavalry!"

"No banner, but well-equipped?" Liu Bian pondered for a while, thinking about the origin of the cavalry, but he had no idea, and couldn't help but look at Wei Xiaokuan, Guo Jia and others: "What do you think?"

Guo Jia thought about it for a while, and then gave Liu Bian's answer: "Your Majesty, I think that it has only been a year since Mongolia signed a peace treaty with my big man, and it will definitely not invade my big man right now. Ordinary rangers don't dare If you are so blatant, it must be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, pretending to be foreign cavalry, causing troubles and distracting His Majesty."

"If it's Liu Bei's army, there will definitely not be many, and his generals must be nameless, who would like to attack the enemy?" Liu Bian looked at the generals below and said.
