- Persian camp.
"Haha, Yi, your plan is really powerful. That bastard Yan Liang was fooled." Hades laughed and said sarcastically.
The envoy sent to Yumen Pass has returned and brought back Yan Liang's reply agreeing to the peace.
However, Yan Liang put forward additional conditions, asking Hades to hand over all the nobles from Hundu and other Western Regions to Chu, and to compensate the Chu army with 3,000 fine war horses as compensation for the battle losses of the Chu army.
Yan Liang didn't need to mention this request. Once he mentioned this request, Hades confirmed that Yan Liang really wanted to make peace.
Sima Yi also sneered and said: "Yan Liang's request is exactly what we want. Your Majesty can reply to Yan Liang and say that Hundu and others are in Shule and need time to escort them to Yumen Pass, so as to delay time and provide cover for our secret retreat. "
"This is what I mean."
Hades said proudly: "It will take at least more than half a month to get from Shule to Yumen Pass. Let's delay him for more than twenty days. With this time, I, the emperor, would have led his army to retreat far away, and it would be too late for Yan Liang to pursue him. ¡±
Sima Yi smiled and nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked: "What about Shule, do we really still want to keep this country?"
"What do you want!" Hades shook his head, "Yan Liang knows that he has been fooled and will lead his army to pursue him. We have few troops left in Shule, which is not enough to resist. If we keep too many troops, it will not be conducive to return home to deal with it. The Romans simply burned Shule down, leaving that bastard Yan Liang in ruins."
Sima Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother is wise, and Yi agrees with what he does."
Hades regained his confidence, raised his head and snorted coldly: "Preach the emperor's will. The army will withdraw westward in batches. As for Yan Liang's side, I leave it to you, Yi. You send more groups of envoys to deceive those people as much as possible. Bastard, buy enough time for me to withdraw my troops.¡±
Sima Yi solemnly said: "Brother, don't worry, Yi has his own arrangements."
After the retreat was finalized, Sima Yi and Hades breathed a sigh of relief and held a small banquet to celebrate.
the following few days. Sima Yi then arranged for envoys to go to Yumen Pass several times, delaying time on the grounds that it would take time to escort Hundu from Shule.
The Chu army did not seem to be aware of the Persians' intentions at all, and promised to give them time to escort the prisoners. According to the Zoroastrian Cult's detailed intelligence, the Chu army on the front line of Yumen Pass had already begun to leave the pass in batches. Retreat inland.
All signs indicate that the Chu army does not want to delay this war any longer in this cold winter.
Furthermore, the Chu army also expected that the Persians would no longer be able to pose a threat to Yumen Pass, so in order to save military supplies, they began to withdraw their troops in advance.
All kinds of things about the Chu army. Played into the hands of Sima Yi and Hades.
Therefore, Hades divided his troops into several groups. Every night, he would evacuate the camp in groups of 5,000 people and retreat westward from the northern route of the Western Region.
??Ten days in a row. Hades had quietly withdrawn 50,000 cavalry, and he appointed Rhadamandis as commander. He led the 50,000 cavalry back to Persia quickly to resist the attack of the Roman legions.
Time entered the eleventh day, and a snowstorm came unexpectedly.
The flying snow in the sky blocked the sight. Standing at the top of Yumenguan City, the Persian camp that was once vaguely visible was now a blur.
Hades believes that this snow is God helping him. He can use the cover of wind and snow to withdraw his troops unscrupulously during the day.
That day, after a rare meal, the Persian army drove out of the camp one by one, and hurriedly retreated westward under the cover of wind and snow.
But Hades didn¡¯t know that at that moment in the snow, a pair of cold eyes were staring at him coldly.
With the jade gate closed, Yan Liang stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the vast white snow outside the pass with his razor-like eyes.
It was as if his still light could penetrate the wind and snow and see clearly the scene of the Persian camp.
After a long time, Yan Liang said calmly: "Fengxiao, do you think Hades will be very happy with this weather?"
"It should be so. I think Hades is taking advantage of the cover of the wind and snow to withdraw his troops crazily." Guo Jiadao.
"I think so too."
Yan Liang's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of solemnity, "I think it's time to give Hades a fatal blow."
Guo Jia looked shocked and said hurriedly: "However, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that have not arrived in the direction of Yangguan. If we attack at this time, we are afraid that we will not have enough troops.
Yan Liang¡¯s so-called withdrawal of troops is actually just an illusion.
The soldiers and horses who withdrew from Yumen Pass exchanged identities with Ding Fu from the grain transport team halfway, and headed to Yang Pass in a swaggering manner.
At this moment, 80,000 Chu troops have gathered on the front line of Yangguan City, including nearly 60,000 cavalry.Yan Liang deduced that Hades would not let up its guard against Yumen Pass, and launching an attack from here might not be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.
Therefore, Yan Liang chose Yangguan. He wanted to give Hades a fatal blow from the south of Yangguan when he thought his plan had succeeded and could safely withdraw his troops.
"Today's wind and snow are our best help. We don't have to wait any longer. Send the order and order Wen Chou and the others to act according to the original plan and send troops immediately."
Yan Liang decisively issued the order to start the war.
Guo Jia no longer hesitated and sent someone to carry Yan Liang's imperial edict to Yangguan City on Pegasus.
¡¡
In Yangguan City, 80,000 Chu soldiers have been gathering momentum for a long time.
At this time, Di Wen Chou was discussing with Tai Shi Ci, Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu, Guo Huai and other generals in their tent about sending troops.
The arrival of Yan Liang's imperial edict to send troops instantly set the entire tent on fire.
Wen Chou jumped up, with blood surging in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Great, after waiting for so long, the day of war finally begins. Everyone, follow me out of seclusion and defeat those Persian bastards."
"Kill all the Persians, leave no one behind!" Zhang Xiu suddenly jumped up, waving his fist and shouted.
The generals are all full of enthusiasm, gearing up, and fighting spirit is burning wildly.
Wen Chou didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the gate of Yangguan to be opened, and led the generals, 60,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry, to fight out of Yangguan.
In the vast wind and snow, this majestic army rushed from south to north towards the Persian camp outside Yumen Pass.
The wind and snow were a cover for the Persians, and even more so for the Chu army.
With Feng Xue¡¯s help. The army commanded by Wen Chou marched out of Yangguan without anyone noticing. Quietly, he reached the vicinity of the Persian camp.
The Chu army is very familiar with the terrain outside the pass. Even if they are traveling in the dark, they will not lose their way.
Wen Chou rode his horse through the snow. After running for a long time, he suddenly reined in the horse and ordered the whole army to stop.
Thousands of cavalry were stationed in the wind and snow. No one made an unnecessary sound.
Wen Chou listened carefully and heard the faint shouts of Persians coming from the other side of the wind and snow. Countless black shadows were barely visible floating in the vast whiteness.
Wen Chou¡¯s mouth covered with snowflakes raised a sneer.
There is no doubt that the Persian camp has arrived. At this moment, the Persians were withdrawing their troops secretly, without realizing that the God of Death was quietly approaching them.
"Kill them and tear them into pieces!" Wen Chou roared, clapped his horse and ran out with his sword.
Behind him, an army of 60,000 cavalrymen. There were more than 20,000 infantry troops, rushing up through the snow.
The snow covered up the sound of footsteps very well, and the 80,000 Chu troops on foot and cavalry, like silent ghosts, approached the enemy.
At this moment. Outside the Persian camp, Minos was yelling at his soldiers. He hurriedly left the camp to the west.
The Persian army endured pain and hunger and huddled in the tent for several months. It was really torture for them to march in this kind of weather.
The Persian soldiers were depressed and resistant, so Minos could only threaten violence and force the soldiers to walk in the snow.
Looking at the long snake formation gradually disappearing, Minos took a breath and looked back to the east.
He stared at the vast white snow, gritted his teeth and said: "Yan Liang, Yan Liang, if you shoot me with an arrow, I, Minos, will definitely avenge you. Just wait, we will come back sooner or later."
Whoosh~~
A ray of cold light roared in.
A soldier three steps in front of him groaned and fell into the snow.
The Persian soldiers on the left and right were also stunned, and then there was a commotion.
Minos was distracted and turned his horse forward to take a look. He was surprised to find that the soldier had a sharp arrow stuck in his forehead.
"What's going on? Some bastard fired arrows randomly!" Minos roared, thinking that one of his own was accidentally injured.
Whoosh whoosh!
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of piercing the sky, and countless sharp arrows were hidden in the flying snow.
Howlings were heard everywhere, and several soldiers fell next to them in the snow.
The arrows shot non-stop, constantly shooting from the snow, shooting down dozens of people in the blink of an eye. This sudden cold arrow caused the retreating Persian soldiers to fall into panic.
Minos was also taken aback. He hurriedly waved his spear to block the arrow and looked around to find the source of the cold arrow.
Soon, Minos discovered that all those cold arrows came from the south.
Suddenly, Minos's face darkened, and a look of fear flashed across his eyes.
"In the vast darkness to the south, there seemed to be vague black shadows approaching quickly. The dark shadows were densely packed, like a black wall, pushing away the wind and snow, crushing them flatly.
"Quick, go and see what's going on?" Minos shouted, waving his spear.
After receiving the order, more than ten Persian troops rushed to the south, rushing into the snow and fog, trying to find out the truth.
¡°Ahhh¡ª¡ª¡± A series of howls came from the snow.
In an instant, countless cavalry soldiers, like ghost soldiers from hell, rushed out of the snow mist without any warning.
The Chu army is the Chu army!
Minos and his Persian army were stunned for a moment. They never imagined that the Chu army who was negotiating peace with them would unexpectedly come from the south to kill them.
"Chu army, the Chu army is coming, the whole army is fighting!" The shocked Minos roared hoarsely.
Those soldiers who were originally preparing to withdraw to Persia were stunned for a moment. They forgot to form a formation to resist, and watched thousands of Chu army cavalry coming in like a surging tide.
Wen Chou took the lead, with a ferocious smile on his face, dragging the bloody spear point straight towards Minos.
