Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1999 Li Jing Attacks Wuguan

Chapter 1997: Li Jing Attacks Wuguan

"Hmph, Mrs. Li Jing, you are too deceitful."

Inside Tongguan, Li Shimin's roar came from the hall.

Anger flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, he looked at the generals below, and said coldly: "I thought that if I stopped increasing the troops, I would be able to live in peace with Li Jing, but I didn't expect this fellow to be so arrogant.

Forget it, since he wants to attack Tongguan, let's do it. This king wants to see if he can shake Tongguan with his 16 army. "

It is true to say so, but in Li Shimin's heart, he is actually looking forward to Li Jing's research.

Tongguan is a majestic pass built by Li Shimin in imitation of Hangu Pass. No one knows Tongguan's defense better than him.

Since Tongguan was established, no large-scale war has broken out, so it is not well-known, but just looking at its majestic city walls and steep geographical location, it is definitely a top-notch pass in the world.

If Hanguguan is a teacher, then Tongguan is a student, a student who is better than blue.

Let's put it this way, although Tongguan was built in imitation of Hangu Pass, but it is not a complete copy, but has added innovations, and its defense power is definitely higher than that of Hangu Pass.

With such a strong pass in hand, and there are enough defenders, and there is no shortage of supplies, food and grass, Li Shimin will naturally not be afraid of the threat of Li Jing's 16 troops.

He even hoped that Li Jing would take the initiative to attack, so that he could use Tongguan to weaken the Qin army.

Of course, Li Shimin also knew that this would not weaken the Qin army too much. After all, Li Jing was not mediocre. An army of [-] to [-] troops is not bad.

"My lord, this subordinate has received a summons from a bad person."

Yuan Tiangang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Li Jing emptied the stocks of the counties in Sizhou and dispatched more than a thousand catapults. Obviously, he is going to fight a protracted war with us."

"hiss……"

Tang Jun generals gasped when they heard this.

What is the concept of more than a thousand catapults?It takes tens of thousands of soldiers to control the catapult and carry the stone bombs.

Once the stone bullets are fired and 10,000+ flying stones fall, the scene is tantamount to the end of the world.

You must know that during the third battle of Hulaoguan, the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Hulaoguan, and the total number of catapults used was less than a thousand.

So far, only the offensive and defensive battle of Yecheng, the total number of catapults used has reached as many as a thousand, and this battle was launched by the Qin army.

Building a large-scale siege machine like a catapult naturally consumes a lot of manpower and money.

I thought that the Qin army used a thousand catapults to attack Hebei, so there should not be many left in Sizhou, but I didn't expect that there were still a thousand catapults left in stock.

From this, it can be seen that Qin Hao's ambition to rule the world is clearly revealed, otherwise why build so many catapults?
"Li Jing used thousands of catapults to attack Tongguan. Obviously, the move of our army stationed in Tongguan made Li Jing feel threatened, so he is ready to make a real move."

A look of worry flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Master, although our army is in the danger of Tongguan, the strength of the Qin army is twice that of our army, and there are more than a thousand catapults to help. There is no carelessness.

The subordinates proposed to continue to increase troops to Tongguan and transport more equipment from Chang'an to ensure the safety of Tongguan. "

Li Shimin nodded in agreement. In fact, even if Yuan Tiangang didn't say it, he would do this. After all, this time the opponent is Li Jing, who has decided the battle in Hebei, and he is several times stronger than Zhang Liao.

Even Zhang Liao forced Li Shimin to give up [-] elite infantry voluntarily. Now facing Li Jing who was stronger than Zhang Liao, Li Shimin didn't dare to be careless at all.

After discussing with Li Kui, Yuan Tiangang, Sima Yi and others, Li Shimin decided to transfer [-] troops from Chang'an, [-] troops from Wuguan, and [-] troops from Liangzhou. Qi's [-] troops fought against the Qin army.

Liangzhou is now in the midst of internal strife. Yang Guang's family singled out Ma Chao and Yan Xing's two families, and they have won many battles. They have the potential to unify Liangzhou again after Dong Zhuo.

Li Shimin naturally does not want to see Yang Guang unify Liangzhou. After all, he also wants to get Liangzhou. He originally thought that after capturing Sizhou, he would concentrate the power of the whole country to destroy the three families of Yang, Ma and Han, and completely unify the land of Kansai. , but didn't want to encounter a big defeat in Sizhou.

Now that the threat of the Qin army is ahead, Li Shimin has neither the energy to distract Liangzhou nor the strength to occupy Liangzhou. If he forces troops to send troops, it will only be easier for the Qin army.

With the civil strife in Liangzhou and the melee among the three families, there was no need for Tang to place so many defenders on the border, and the frontline defenders could be transferred back without any worries.

Food letter camp.

Li Jing was overjoyed when he received the news of the increase of troops from the Tang army, and quickly asked Jia Xu, "Li Shimin transferred [-] defenders from Wuguan, how many defenders are left in Wuguan?"

As the commander of the Black Ice Terrace, Jia Xu has mastered the intelligence network of the entire Qin Army, and is very familiar with the distribution of Tang Army's forces.

"Wuguan has [-] garrisons all year round, and now [-] have been transferred, leaving [-] garrisons."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Kui asked in surprise, "Wuguan is a battleground for military strategists, but Li Shimin only left [-] defenders?"

After Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, Guo Jia explained: "The general has lived in Hebei for a long time, so he may not know much about Kansai.

Even if there were only [-] defenders at Wuguan and Tongguan, it would be enough to hold off an enemy army ten times their size for more than a month.

With this month's time as a buffer, even if the reinforcements in Guanzhong walked slowly, it would be enough to reach Wuguan. "

"I see."

Zhang Kui looked stunned, and then asked again: "Oh, no, why did Hangu Pass fall so quickly?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Yun suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurried forward to pull the outspoken Zhang Kui back, while Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others showed embarrassment.

The fall of Hangu Pass was purely because of Li Cunxiao's conceit, and he made it out of desperation. If he guarded the pass honestly, there would not be so many broken things later.

If it weren't for Li Cunxiao's brave battle, Li Yuanba and Yang Jian found an opportunity to directly remove the gate of Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass would never have fallen so quickly.

Of course, although Li Cunxiao's fault was great, his contribution was not small, and he could barely make up for it.

After some discussion, Li Jing looked at Zhang Liao and gave an order: "General Zhang Liao, this time you will lead an army of 13 troops. Under the banner of my commander, you will storm Tongguan to attract the attention of the Tang army. I will personally lead [-] soldiers Surprise attack on Wuguan."

Zhang Liao suddenly showed surprise, he thought he was the one who made a surprise attack on Wuguan, but he didn't expect Li Jing to go out in person, which shows how much he attaches importance to this matter.

"No." Zhang Liao replied loudly.

Li Jing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This surprise attack on Wuguan is very important, I decided to lead thirty thousand strange troops to go there.

Gao Chong, Zhang Kui, Qin Ji, Qin Si, Di Qing, Tan Daoji...you and others will go with this general. "

"No." All the generals responded in unison.
