Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start - Chapter 489
Chapter 499 The Land Of Grain Storage!
on the rocks.
Both Yuwen Chengdu and Qu Yi, who were looking down on everything in Cao Jun’s camp from beginning to end, were confused.
They really couldn’t understand, where did the disappeared Cao Jun go? Could it be that they really have wings?
Can it really slip under their noses?
This is too unbelievable.
The eyes of the two looked at each other for a moment, and they both felt a deep sense of inconceivable.
“General, Yan Yun’s eighteenth cavalry is back!! 35
The soldier beside him whispered to make the two wake up from their thoughts.
“Bring it on!”
In a short time, the eighteen cavalry of Yanyun dressed in black all arrived in front of Yuwen Chengdu.
“General, two hundred miles to the southwest of Jiangling City, there is a Gourd Valley, which is heavily guarded, and the purpose of those soldiers is precisely there. 99
“Now that the grain transport team has set off, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive here before dusk!
After saying this, Qu Yi and Yu Wencheng showed happy expressions on their faces.
They searched around for a few days, but still couldn’t find the place where Cao Cao’s grain was stored.
How could the two of them be unhappy?
And although Yuwen Chengdu still has a bad premonition in his heart, he has no doubts about the news of Yanyun’s Eighteen Riders.
Fighting side by side for a long time has brought the trust between them to a peak.
Yuwen Chengdu regarded these 18 people as brothers, not soldiers.
Qu Yi did not have the worries of Yuwen Chengdu, and after hearing the words of Yan Yun’s Eighteen Riders, he said with joy: “General Yuwen, I think we can act tonight, Gourd Valley is not far from here.
Yuwen Chengdu nodded slowly: “Although it’s a little strange why Cao Cao transports grain and grass at such a close distance, we need to take a look no matter what.”
“The order goes on, everyone marches in the direction of Hulukou, don’t reveal their goals.
After passing the order, the group walked directly towards the southwest.
After about an hour, I finally saw a grain transport team running towards Jiangling from the northwest.
There are only hundreds of vehicles in this team, but there are about 5,000 people around to protect it.
Such a tight defense made Yuwen Chengcheng and Qu Yi feel tongue-tied.
It stands to reason that the number of teams carrying grain is generally not large, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but Cao Jun is uncharacteristically, using the most elite strength, which makes the two a little curious.
He originally planned to rob the batch of food and grass, but seeing this situation, Yuwen Cheng pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but give up his thoughts.
It’s not that he can’t deal with these five thousand elites, but he really thinks of the transfer grain and grass base in Hulukou.
At this moment, it is easy for him to do it, but when the time comes, Hulukou will be prepared, and even Cao Cao will be alert.
If you lose the big because of the small, it is really worth the loss.
Therefore, under the gaze of Yanyun’s Eighteen Cavalry and Xian Deng’s soldiers, this batch of grain-carrying teams slowly passed their line of sight.
These Cao soldiers didn’t know that in the moment just now, they went from death to life, and as long as Yuwen Cheng gave an order, they would die very quickly.
Of course, these Cao soldiers are not clear.
I saw them running towards Jiangling City without any worries.
Until I saw them out of my sight.
Qu Yi just breathed out: “General Yuwen is too much of a fire to let these people leave safely, just these trash fish are not enough for our two armies to eat!”
Yuwen Cheng smiled and said: “Don’t worry, our goal is to destroy the enemy’s food and grass, this batch of food and grass is only a few hundred vehicles, it is not worth exposing our target, Hulukou, the place where the transfer is carried out, is our goal this time. .”
“Originally, these 5,000 elite soldiers should also be the army guarding Hulukou, but now that they have left, the defense there will be more slack, and then we can make great achievements in one fell swoop.”
After Yuwen Cheng finished saying this, Qu Yi’s eyes were full of light.
“The general said it in time, we can’t continue to waste time!””
・・・For flowers・・・
“The whole army hastened to hurry, don’t be dawdled.
Xian Dengbing and Yanyun’s Eighteen Cavalry acted again, but the speed was a little faster than the cautiousness just now.
This is of course a normal phenomenon. After all, the risk of exposure has been lifted. What is more important now is how to quickly reach Hulukou.
Another hour has passed.
The setting sun gradually fell, dyeing the entire earth a golden color.
At this time, Yanyun’s Eighteen Riders and Xian Deng’s troops also rushed to a high mountain opposite Hulukou.
He looked at it with extreme eyes, but saw that the mouth of the gourd in the distance was really like a large gourd.
Isn’t this terrain like an upside-down gourd?
Yuwen Chengdu and Qu Yi looked at each other and both understood why this gourd mouth was used as a transfer place for grain and grass.
It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely secretive.
On both sides are sheer cliffs, which could not have been climbed by anyone.
They only need to hold the exit to prevent all enemies.
“It seems that this gourd mouth is really not easy to win. Although the front mouth is a little bigger, there are many mountains and forests to pass through. Not only is it a waste of time, but we can’t predict the dangers encountered.”5
“But if you enter through that exit, you may become the opponent’s target for a very long time, and if one is not good, you will be shot into a sieve.” Qu Yi said softly.
Yuwen Chengdu nodded: “If it weren’t for such a place, it wouldn’t make Cao Cao so arrogant and look like he’s not afraid of us coming.”9
“But we are not without luck. Once my Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry can open the way, ordinary bows and arrows can’t hurt them. 35
“Secondly, a batch of food and forage was just transported away, and the departure of the five thousand elite soldiers proved that there would not be too many defenders here, and we also had a chance. 39
After Yuwen Chengdu finished analyzing these two points, Qu Yi regained some gleam in his eyes, and nodded his head again and again to express his approval.
