Chapter 162 The Ragged Old Man
On the same day, Du Huo personally led his army into the cave on the west side according to the map drawn by the spies.
In this game world.Caves like this have long been common.And basically, every cave has such a labyrinth-like passage, and for Duho, although it will be a bit troublesome, it is not too difficult.
After Du Huo and thousands of soldiers entered the cave, they began to search around in the cave. After switching between two layers of caves, they finally reached the other side of the cave.
After walking out of the cave, Du Huo seemed to have come to a deserted and isolated place.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the towering mountains are like a bucket, surrounding this land.
On this piece of land, there is a building similar to a camp, surrounded by soldiers guarding it.
It can be seen from this that this place should be the place where Jiang Wan's mother was imprisoned.
After Du Huo led his troops close to the building, Dang even clashed with the soldiers guarding the building.
During this trip, Du Huo led a total of [-] soldiers, while the enemy troops stationed in this building at this time were only more than [-].
Although the more than three hundred people were led by the enemy general Gao Pei, but Gao Pei was also a guy with poor martial arts.
So in the end, he was not able to turn the tide and reverse the inevitable defeat.Moreover, even he himself died in the hands of Du Huo.
After briefly cleaning up the battlefield, Du Huo, who put on a set of neat clothes again, received Jiang Wan's mother very solemnly.
After Du Huo explained all the reasons to Jiang Wan's mother, Jiang Wan's mother immediately agreed to Du Huo's request to invite Jiang Wan to join the army.
The next day, in Jiangjia Village.
Du Huo accepted Jiang Wan's invitation and went to Jiang Wan's home for a banquet.
At the banquet, Jiang Wan thanked Du Huo first, and then expressed his willingness to serve Du Huo.
And Jiang Wan also said that as long as he stepped forward, he could take the opportunity to trick Yuejun into opening the city gate.
And when the gate of the city is wide open, Du Huo can lead his troops into the city and have a showdown with the guards in the city.
Du Huo couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and he invited Jiang Wan to the army that day to serve as a military adviser.
A few days later, at Jiang Wan's request, Du Huo appointed Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to lead troops to accompany Jiang Wan to Yuejun City, planning to attack Yuejun City.
Under the city of Yuejun.
"I am Jiang Wan, and I will lead my subordinates to help Master Li Yan!"
"So it's Master Jiang, please come in!"
Jiang Wan stood at the bottom of the city and shouted loudly. The city gate guards who knew Jiang Wan's identity did not have the slightest doubt. They opened the city gate directly and let Jiang Wan enter the city together with the soldiers.
However, the moment they led the soldiers into the city tonight, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who were originally hiding in the soldiers, immediately waved their orders and launched an attack on Yuejun City.
Seeing this, the guards at the city gate couldn't help being shocked. After losing the guard of the city wall, they could only confront the soldiers led by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun face to face.
As a result, the strength gap between the two sides was immediately revealed.
Originally, the incomparably strong Yuejun City became out of control just because of Jiang Wan's plan, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
After the war, the defenders in the city will flee if they can, and surrender if they can.
The huge Yue Jun City fell directly to Du Huo in just one hour.
After the successful capture of Yuejun City, the spies in front of the army sent back the military order again.
After passing through Yuejun City, Mianzhu Pass followed. In order to prevent Du Huo from approaching, Liu Zhang, the lord of Xichuan, had to dispatch Zhang Ren, the fierce general of Xichuan, to Mianzhu Pass to guard it.
When Du Huo was in Fushui City, he had dealt with Zhang Ren before, and it was in that battle that Pang Tong died unexpectedly.
Therefore, Zhang Ren, in Du Huo's barracks, is equivalent to the enemy of the entire barracks.
When the soldiers in the army learned that Zhang Ren was transferred to Mianzhuguan, the morale of the army was greatly improved instantly.
However, in the spy's battle report, in addition to mentioning Zhang Ren's garrison at Mianzhu Pass, the defense situation of Mianzhu Pass was also mentioned.
After all, Zhang Ren is different from other generals. Since Liu Zhang sent him here, he will definitely set up obstacles for Du Huo.
As for the fortification of the south gate, Zhang Ren's strategy was officially in place.
At this time, in order to prevent it, Du Huo attacked the south gate of Mianzhu Pass head-on, but Zhang Ren actually sealed the south gate of Mianzhu Pass directly.
What is presented to Du Huo now is nothing but a cold city wall.
And if he wanted to capture Mianzhu Pass, then Du Huo had to overcome all difficulties and enter the mountain range through the cave on the east side of Mianzhu Pass before he could reach the north gate of Mianzhu Pass.
And this move, for the Du Huo army.It would be a disastrous move.
Because, if Du Huo leads his army to bypass Mianzhu Pass and attack Mianzhu Pass from the south gate, it means that he may be attacked from both sides by Xichuan defenders.
But if he doesn't do this, then his attack on Xichuan is likely to stop here.
So after much deliberation, Du Huo finally decided to take a risk.
And in the process, Zhuge Liang also came up with an idea for Du Huo.
Now it is unrealistic to attack Mianzhu Pass by force, so Zhuge Liang believes that Du Huo can send someone to burn Mianzhu Pass.
Because the south gate of Mianzhu Pass has been blocked, the soldiers trapped in Mianzhu Pass can only escape from the north gate. In this way, this will be successfully solved. Duhuo's army may be attacked from both sides. .
After confirming the strategy, Du Huo immediately led his army into the cave.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, Du Haute set the marching time at midnight.
But just when Du Huo's army entered the cave, they found a hungry and cold old man in the cave.
At this time, the old man was dressed in rags, but his mental state was not bad.
The soldiers under his command saw that he was pitiful, so they distributed some of their dry food to the old man.
As a result, after the old man finished eating the dry food, he suddenly revealed a secret about the cave.
Later, the soldier who learned the secret hurriedly reported the matter to Du Huo.
It turns out that in this cave, there is hidden an artifact, an item that can ignite flames in any weather, called a gunpowder pot.
As for the appearance of this item, Du Huo didn't feel too strange, after all, this item originally existed in the game.
Moreover, this is an extremely important task item, just like the jug of wine that Pang Tong drank back then.
It's just that the time is too long, Du Huo has already forgotten it, and now after the soldier's reminder, Du Huo can't help but think about it again.
