So, even if he knew the plan, he still had to save Phoenix Ridge.
Thinking of this, Yuan Lie said, "Pass on my decree and order the guard general of Heifeng Pass to immediately use all the troops in the pass to attack and reinforce Phoenix Ridge!
We must annihilate all the enemy forces!"
"Your Majesty, no!" The general was shocked, "If Black Wind Pass uses all its troops, wouldn't it be possible? An empty city? What if this is the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."
"To lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Yuan Lie sneered, "So what if they can take the Black Wind Pass? If I wipe out their main force, I can take it back at any time with one black wind pipe!
But if the food and grass are gone, everything will be over!"
"Send the order immediately! Make no mistake!" Yuan Lie ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"...Yes, Your Majesty." The general had no choice but to accept the order and retreat.
At the same time, in the Yixiantian Canyon.
In Chen Ping's handsome tent, several lieutenants were surrounding the sand table, with excitement and admiration on their faces.
"The general is really amazing! Yuan Lie is really led by our nose."
"This is already the third wave! I'm afraid Yuan Lie's troops are almost exhausted by us?"
Chen Ping looked at the sand table, his expression still calm.
He pointed to the location of Heifeng Pass and said lightly: "It's not enough. There is no movement from the enemy troops in Heifeng Pass. But... I guess his Yuan Lie's patience is about to be exhausted."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout rushed into the account.
"Report! General! There is a big movement in the direction of Black Wind Pass!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the scout.
General Chen is truly a god!
"Speak!" Chen Ping said solemnly.
"Back to General! The scout camp reported that the army of poisonous corpses in Black Wind Pass is gathering. Judging from the flags and size, I am afraid that the whole army will be dispatched. Their target is exactly in the direction of Phoenix Ridge!"
The tent instantly became quiet.
A moment later, a burst of suppressed cheers broke out.
"Great! The fish has taken the bait!"
"General, Yuan Lie has indeed brought all his belongings up!"
A smile finally appeared on Chen Ping's face. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
He looked at the deputy general beside him, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Give me the order, all troops should immediately withdraw from the sky, clear all traces, and march towards Heifeng Pass!"
"What?" A deputy general was stunned, "General, aren't we here to meet them? This is a good opportunity to wipe out the main force of the enemy's army!"
Chen Ping shook his head, his eyes flashing with wisdom: "Annihilate them all?
We only have 120,000 people. There are at least 200,000 poisonous corpses in Black Wind Pass. Even if we annihilate them all, we will suffer heavy losses.
My goal is not to fight them desperately."
He picked up the command stick and knocked it hard on the sand table at the Black Wind Pass.
"Their main force has come out, and Heifeng Pass is now an undefended empty city! What I want is it!"
The generals suddenly realized, and looked at Chen Ping with eyes filled with fanatical admiration.
Sneak attacks in the east, attack in the west, surround the point to bring reinforcements, divert the tiger away from the mountain, and finally attack the vital point!
This series of strategies, interconnected, can be called a model of the art of war!
"The general is wise!"
"I am waiting for you, I am willing to die for the general!"
All the generals worshiped Tao one after another.
Chen Ping raised his hand and stopped everyone from complimenting him.
His eyes swept over every general present, and his voice became serious.
"This battle is related to the fate of our country. We can only succeed, not fail! Gentlemen, please!"
"Yes!"
The generals took the order and quickly left the commander's tent.
Chen Ping looked at their leaving figures and took a deep breath.
He knew that the moment of decisive battle had finally arrived.
He walked outside the tent, looked in the direction of Black Wind Pass in the distance, and said to himself.
"Uncle Ye, I have taken the Black Wind Pass. From now on, it's up to you."
His eyes passed through the mountains, as if he saw the Dayan demon army at the Duanhun Pass.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
At the same time, in the black wind pipe, a mighty torrent of poisonous corpses was pouring out from the open door and rolling towards Phoenix Ridge.
The Yuan general who led the team was named Wuhuan, and he was a close general of Yuan Lie.
He was riding on a tall horse with a high-spirited expression on his face.
In his opinion, the enemy troops in the sky are just grasshoppers after autumn, and they can only survive for a few days.
Yuan Lie ordered him to use all his troops to crush him with the power of thunder.
Is this a free gift? How could he not be happy?
The army traveled unimpeded and soon arrived at the Yixiantian Canyon.
Wu Huan reined in his mount and frowned slightly.
"Stop!" he ordered loudly.
The deputy general rode forward and asked in confusion: "General, why did you stop? Didn't the spy say that the enemy was setting up an ambush in the canyon?"
"Something's wrong."
Wu Huan's eyes scanned the empty canyon, and he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart, "It's too quiet. There's not even a trace of blood here."
According to the defeated soldiers, there should have been several fierce battles here, but except for the traces of marches, the ground was too clean.
"Send a team of people to go in and take a look!" Wu Huan ordered cautiously.
A team of live sentinels carefully entered the canyon and searched for a long time before sending someone to report back.
"Report! General, there is no one in the canyon. Only some abandoned camps and traces of hastily buried stove fires were found. It seems that they have evacuated!"
"Withdrawn?" Wu Huan became even more confused, "They spent so much effort to lure us out and just left like this?"
He couldn't figure it out. This is completely unreasonable.
At this moment, another scout came flying from the direction of Phoenix Ridge with a look of panic on his face.
"General! Something bad has happened! The enemy troops under Fenghuang Ridge...are also gone! Our granary is safe and sound!"
"What?!" Wu Huan was completely confused.
He felt like a boxer who was exerting all his energy and punched the cotton.
This feeling is extremely uncomfortable!
"What on earth is going on?" Wu Huan was puzzled.
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Black Wind Pass, and his face instantly turned pale.
"No! We have fallen into a trap! Move the tiger away from the mountain!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Turn the whole army around! Return to Black Wind Pass to support immediately!"
However, it was already too late.
Less than two hours after Wuhuan's army left Heifeng Pass, the 145,000-strong Zhou army led by Chen Ping had already appeared under the east gate of Heifeng Pass.
Since Wuhuan had taken away the main force, Chen Ping easily entered the pass, and then... Heifeng Pass planted the flag of Zhou Dynasty.
"Win! We won!"
"Heifeng Pass is ours!"
Chen Ping stood on the tower, overlooking this magnificent pass that he had captured with his strategy, and he was filled with pride in his heart.
