Zhou An took the order and left.
Just when Zhou An was about to walk out of the tent, a messenger rushed in with a panicked expression.
"General! It's not good!"
Ye Cheng's brows immediately frowned: "Why are you panicking?"
The ordering soldiers knelt down On the ground, he reported urgently, "General Chen Ping sent someone to deliver the news! He did not act according to your deployment!"
"What did you say?"
Ye Cheng asked in surprise.
"Deputy Marshal Chen, changed the plan..."
Hearing this, Zhou An stopped and turned around, his face full of shock.
And Feng Suling also looked in disbelief.
You know, a war is imminent, and if the general disobeys orders, it is a serious crime in the army that is enough to be beheaded on the spot! How dare this Chen Ping?
Ye Cheng calmed down and asked slowly, "How did he change his plan?"
"It's all in the letter, General."
As he said that, the messenger took out a letter and handed it over.
The letter said, "The terrain of Heifeng Pass is difficult, so we can only attack the east gate. My subordinates think this move is very unwise.
Therefore, it is difficult to follow the order, so General Yi planned to use our troops and Xiahou General Chen to attack Fenghuang Ridge on the north side of Heifeng Pass.
Fenghuang Ridge is the most important food area for the Yuan army. The Yuan soldiers will not dare to lose this place. We only need to pretend to attack Fenghua Ridge and set up ambushes everywhere. The enemy will surely seek death. In this way, we can severely damage the rebel army at a very small cost. I hope the commander will think twice. ”
After reading the letter, Ye Cheng was very angry, but at the same time, he was also a little admired.
Chen Ping’s plan is indeed interesting.
The Poison Corpse will not be hungry, but the person who controls the Poison Corpse will. That is why Yuan Lie hoards food and grass in Phoenix Ridge.
As long as they attack a land rich in food and crops, Yuan Lie will definitely be in panic.
When the time comes, the Poison Corpse Soldiers under Yuan Lie’s command will inevitably suffer heavy losses when they surround the point for reinforcements.
"Okay, what a Chen Ping."
Ye Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the messenger, "Go and tell Chen Ping that the general will not accept military orders abroad. This commander understands.
But the premise is that you can win the battle by changing the military orders... So, If this battle is lost, all the credit will be his. If this battle is lost, don't blame me for not thinking about our friendship!"
"Yes!"
Only Ye Cheng, Zhou An and Feng Suling were left in the tent.
"General, did you agree so easily?"
Feng Suling couldn't help but ask, "This Chen Ping is too arrogant! You should capture him directly and deal with him according to military law!"
"Military law?" Ye Cheng shook his head, "Killing him now will only demoralize the army of Zhou An, which plays into Ying Yue's plan.
She will definitely use this to accuse us of killing friendly generals without authorization."
As he said that, Ye Cheng looked at Zhou An and asked, "What do you think of Chen Ping's plan?"
Zhou An thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "It's a clever move. If it succeeds, it will indeed be a miracle."
"That's right." Ye Cheng nodded.
"Since he dares to do this, it shows that he is sure. If I stop it forcibly, not only will he and his generals be dissatisfied with me, but I may also miss an excellent fighting opportunity."
"Since he wants to prove himself, then I will give him this opportunity."
A shrewd look flashed in Ye Cheng's eyes, "Moreover, his move has actually done us a big favor."
"Oh?" Zhou An and Feng Suling both looked puzzled.
"He took the initiative to move the focus of the coalition's attack away from Black Wind Pass.
The main force of Yuan Lie will naturally be attracted by his strange troops.
In this way, we proceed It's easier to break through the soul barrier."
"I understand, master. Your move is so good."
"Okay, go ahead and do what I tell you."
Zhou An and Feng Suling cupped their hands and left the camp.
After seeing off the two men, Ye Cheng called another messenger, "Send the order. In three days, the whole army will advance to Duanhun Pass!"
"Yes!"
While Ye Cheng was leading the troops to prepare for action, the Zhou army's camp was also busy preparing to attack Fenghuang Ridge.
Chen Ping stood in the center of the commander's tent, laying out a plan to siege Phoenix Ridge.
A lieutenant standing next to him couldn't help but said, "General! This Ye Cheng is bullying people too much!
He clearly wants us to die!"
Another general also echoed: "Yes, General! How can the lives of 140,000 troops be such a trivial matter?
Ye Cheng just wants to kill people with a borrowed knife and weaken the strength of our great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Yes, that's why we don't go to Black Wind Pass."
p>"Ye Cheng wants us to die, but I have the final say on where and how we die!"
"I will use this battle to make the generals famous all over the world!"
These words made the generals' blood boil.
"The general is right!"
"We listen to the general!"
"That's right, Ye Cheng is playing tricks on us, let's help them see who is the real main force!"
Looking at the boosted morale, Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction.
He walked to the sand table, picked up the command stick, and began to continue deploying the battle plan.
"Second order, the feint attack troops will launch an attack on Heifeng Pass at midnight tonight. The movement should be loud, but remember not to be too lazy to fight. Focus on harassment and testing, and retreat at dawn tomorrow."
"The main force, speed up the march, must reach the southern line of Phoenix Ridge before dawn tomorrow to set up an ambush.
All traces along the way must be cleared, leaving no clues.
After all, although Yuan Lie's Poison Corpse Soldiers are brainless, the ones leading them are all living generals. They are not stupid. "
"In addition, the scout battalion will move towards Heifeng Pass tomorrow morning. After arriving, we must closely monitor all movements in Heifeng Pass.
If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"
"Another feint attack force will arrive at Phoenix Ridge tomorrow morning. Remember, attack immediately upon arrival!"
"Yes!"
As the generals accepted the order one by one, Chen Ping became more and more confident.
That night, outside the Black Wind Pass, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Ten thousand of the elite demon-suppressing guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty launched a fierce raid on this magnificent pass.
Arrows were like rain, fire oil was pouring, and for a while, the walls were filled with flames.
However, just as Chen Ping expected, although the Demon Suppressing Guard's attack was fierce, they were still unable to get close to the wall due to the continuous flow of poisonous corpses from the pass.
The two sides fought fiercely for three hours, with no winner or loser.
At dawn, the demon-suppressing guards left hundreds of corpses behind, and Ming Jin retreated.
The defender of Heifeng Pass looked at the retreating Zhou army and let out a proud laugh.
Then, a messenger was sent to tell the news to Yuan Lie in Huanglong City.
He thought this was just a harassment attack. Why did he repay Yuan Lie? Naturally, a reward will be given. After all, the seriousness of the situation is reported, and the credit is great.
Almost at the same time, the 120,000 troops led by Chen Ping also quietly arrived at the "One Line of Sky" canyon south of Fenghuangling.
It is connected to Black Wind Pass to the south and Phoenix Ridge to the north, making it an excellent location for setting up an ambush.
Time passed bit by bit, and Chen Ping waited patiently here. He knew that the people who would increase the number of people in Phoenix Ridge would not come so soon.
In this way, they lay in wait here for two days before they saw a group of poisonous corpses.
Obviously, they were sent from Heifeng Pass.
Since Chen Ping only sent more than 10,000 people to besiege Phoenix Ridge, this number of reinforcements was normal.
