Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2707 Li Muqian rides through the river pass, and Hulu Guangqiao wins Yuzhong

Chapter 2703: Li Muqian rides through Heguan, Hulu Guangqiao wins Yuzhong

Regarding the fact that the 30 troops of the Western Expedition were divided into four groups and marched at the same time, the generals and generals were not at all surprised.
The 30 army seems like a lot, but it can't hold back Xiliang's vast land and sparse population. If they fight all the way, the Qin army's superiority in strength will not be able to be used at all, so it is the smartest way to divide the troops and fight everywhere.

The 30 troops attacked the Sui from all four routes together, and the positions of commander, deputy general, vanguard, etc. of each route were all meritorious service in the eyes of the generals in Yongliang, so they all took the initiative to challenge Li Jing with burning eyes.

"The last general, Hua Xiong, is willing to be the vanguard."

"The last general, Tu Xingsun, is willing to do..."

"The last general Wuji..."

……

Seeing that the generals wanted to fight so strongly, Li Jing couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart, and said to himself: If the army's heart is available, this battle must be won.

"You don't need to argue anymore, the Governor already has a suitable candidate in mind who will lead the four-way army in the Western Expedition.

The Central Route Army was led by the governor himself, leading a total of 15 troops, and dispatched troops from Longxi and Hanyang respectively.

On the road to Longxi, Li Mu was the main general, Xu Rong was the deputy general, and Yan Xingxing was the vanguard, leading [-] troops to surprise Heguan and attack Jincheng County from the south. "

Hearing that Li Jing chose him as the chief general of the First Route Army, Li Mu immediately showed shock. After all, he was born as a general, and he was not Li Jing's confidant. There are many people in the Yongliang Army who are more suitable than him.

"The governor, the last general..."

Li Mu spoke subconsciously, but was interrupted directly by Li Jing.

"On the road to Hanyang, the governor is the chief general, Hu Luguang and Yuwen Chengdu are the deputy generals, and Yuwen Chengdu is also the leading forward, leading a total of [-] troops to surprise Yuzhong and attack Jincheng County from the east.

The two armies of Longxi and Hanyang wanted to join forces at Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, within fifteen days.

General Li Mu, do you have the confidence to do it? "

Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Mu felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Why does it take fifteen days, ten days is enough."

Li Jing couldn't help but brighten up: "General Li Mu, there are no jokes in the army, is there any part in this statement?"

"Really, the final general wishes to issue a military order."

"it is good."

Li Jing smiled appreciatively. Among the generals of Yongliang, apart from Wu Qi, the governor of the same level, he was actually the most optimistic about Li Mu, the surrendered general.

In the battle against the Tang Dynasty, all the generals of the Li and Tang Dynasties, including Li Shimin, were defeated by the Qin army, but Li Mu's defeat was not a crime of war.

Therefore, after Li Mu surrendered, Li Jing specially observed him for a long time, and found that Li Mu not only had excellent military skills, but also had good political and martial arts talents, and his character was also excellent.

This is very rare.

Li Mu's own martial arts and political talents are not good, but after merging with the mythical character Li Mu, he directly complements all his shortcomings and becomes the same hexagonal commander as Li Jing and Wu Qi.

Li Jing himself is the commander of the hexagon, so he knows how difficult it is for a commander to command the army, be good at strategy, and understand politics.

Even if the general Bai Qi is invincible in the field of commanding the army, it is also insufficient in politics.

He would be able to come up with a self-defense political method of self-defense in a situation where he has made great achievements, mainly because Jia Xu reminded him behind his back.

Li Jing is much better than Bai Qi in terms of politics, so he understands that as a generation of famous generals, it is not enough to just know how to fight, and one must also understand politics in order to go further in the long run.

Li Jing and Li Mu are undoubtedly the same kind of people, and the same kind appreciate each other, so even if Li Mu is not his confidant, Li Jing still uses him highly.

Seeing that Li Jing chose Li Mu as the leader of the First Route Army, Tu Xingsun felt envious and jealous in his heart, and at the same time, he was a little bit drummed. After all, Li Mu has become the leader of the First Route Army, and he will probably catch up with senior brother Yang Jian when he comes back from this battle, so he should fight him If so, I'm afraid it's me who suffers.

"Fortunately, I haven't made an enemy of Li Mu yet." Tu Xingsun secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"The North Route Army will be headed by Long Qie, the deputy governor of Liangzhou, Gongsun Yan will be the deputy general, and Long Yang will be the vanguard. They will lead a total of [-] troops. They will start from Beidi County, detour across the desert, and attack Xianmei at the westernmost end of Wuwei County across thousands of miles. City, in order to cut off the connection between Wuwei County and Zhangye County, and then gradually attack the seven cities in the west of Wuwei."

The ten cities in the east of Wuwei County, which are flat and easy to attack and difficult to defend, have been ceded to Daqin in the "Treaty of Qin, Sui and Luoyang", while the seven cities in the west are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Yang Guang specially built a series of fortresses here. Let Qin Jun hit his head again and break his blood.

But what kind of person is Li Jing?How could it make Yang Guang wishful?
What Yang Guang built was the eastern defense line of Wuwei, and he was also defending the Qin army from the east, so he took a detour to attack the westernmost city of Wuwei, Xianmei.

Once the Northern Route Army captures Xianmei City, they will face-to-face counterattacks from Wuwei and Zhangye, so Li Jing sent the two Gods of War, Long Qie and Long Yang, over there.

"As for the South Route Army, Meng Tian, ​​the governor of Liangzhou, was the chief general, Fu Cunshen was the deputy general, and Yang Ren was the vanguard. They led a total of [-] troops. They were dispatched from Wudu County and quickly occupied the important places in the north of Haizhou to cut off the sea. The connection between the three counties in the eastern part of the state and Jincheng County, and block the reinforcements from the Tubo Kingdom."

If Li Jing's North and South Route Army succeeded, the four counties of Zhangye to the west of Wuwei, and the seven counties of Haizhou in the south, would be completely cut off from the king's capital Daxing.

If it really comes to that time, Yang Guang will really have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the earth, he will either be eaten up by Li Jing, or die in battle, there is no third way to go.

It has to be said that after Li Jing experienced the Battle of Hanzhong and was calculated by his own Zhang Yi, he became more vicious in terms of tricks.

Quiet as a virgin, moving like thunder.

If you don't make a move, you will be fine, if you make a move, you will kill.

Before Li Jing started the battle, he used various methods to reduce Yang Guang's vigilance towards him, and then the four armies came out together, each of which went straight to the Sui army's confidantes, wanting to use fast to fight slow, use movement to stop stillness, and bloom everywhere to the extreme. , It can be said that there is no flaw in the layout, and it hardly gives Yang Guang any room to fight back.

It can be imagined that in the face of Li Jing's series of attacks, if Yang Guang made a wrong step, he would definitely make a wrong step and lose everything in the end.

But Yang Guangben didn't know the details of the Qin army and Li Jing's specific calculations. Unless he had the ability to predict the future, it would be impossible for Yang Guang to take all the correct steps.

So, just as Li Jing said, it's fine if he doesn't make a move. Once he makes a move, he won't give Yang Guang another chance to live.

Now in Li Jing's mind, the battle to conquer the west is almost certain to be won, the only challenge is to end it before the fall of Wei.

The deployment of troops on the western front was nearly two months later than that on the eastern front, and the troop strength was only one-third of that on the eastern front.

If the Western Front can kill Yang Guang and occupy Xiliang and Haizhou before the Eastern Front wipes out Wei, the Eastern Front will surely look very excited if they know about it.

With this in mind, Li Jing couldn't help but faintly look forward to it.

Not counting the security forces such as county soldiers and police officers, the total number of regular troops in Daqin is 150 million, of which 90 are used for eastward expeditions, 30 are used for westward expeditions, and the remaining troops staying in the mainland are only 35. Yuan, Jin and Qing Dynasties.

Although apart from the Shu Han, it is unlikely that the other four countries will send troops to the Great Qin at this time, but the necessary defenses must still be there.

The distribution of the 35 troops is: [-] in Jingbei, [-] in Hanzhong, [-] in Hezhou, [-] in Bingzhou, and [-] in Youzhou.

Under such an arrangement, even if the five kingdoms of Shu, Chu, Yuan, Jin and Qing invaded at the same time, Daqin could persist for more than a year, but the four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming and Sui could not persist for so long.

At most three months, one of the two countries, Wei and Sui, will definitely not be able to hold on, but I don't know if it is Sui or Wei.

Following Li Jing's order, the 30 Yongliang Qin army moved in a cloud, and the troops marched in four directions at the same time.

[-] points on the north road and [-] points on the south road, but they are all fighting blitzkrieg, and blitzkrieg is about a fast word, but it is obviously not fast if so many soldiers and horses go together, so Meng Tian and Long Qie both chose to be fast. One step ahead.

Long Qie ordered Long Yang to lead five thousand vanguard iron cavalry to clear the way first, and he himself led fifteen thousand iron cavalry to follow closely behind, leaving Lieutenant General Gongsun Yan to lead fifty thousand infantry to follow behind.

As for Meng Tian's South Route Army, unlike the North Route Army, which needs to cross thousands of miles of desert, there is no need to separate them on foot and horse, so Meng Tian just asked Yang Ren, Tu Xingsun, and Li Jue to march to the designated point with [-] steps each. Then wait for the order to attack at the same time.

The North Route Army needs to detour around the desert, and the South Route Army needs to sneak into Haizhou. They will not fight the Sui Army in a short time.

As for the Central Route Army, the Penguins of Longxi and Hanyang Counties border Jincheng, so the two Central Route Army must be the first to fight the Sui Army, and how to hide their whereabouts and expose their tracks as late as possible has become the top priority of this battle. Heavy.

Both Li Jing and Li Mu were generals who were good at using Tibetan soldiers, and they had prepared well in advance, so before they showed their fangs, they naturally wouldn't let the Sui army discover their tracks.

Li Mu and Li Jing issued a military order to achieve the great cause and join forces within ten days, but to achieve this, Heguan is a difficult problem that must be solved.

Li Mu has a full [-] troops in his hands, so it is not difficult to take down the Heguan, but it is rare to take down the Heguan without making a sound, and once the traces are exposed, the Sui army resumes its vigilance, then this battle will be very difficult. It will be difficult to fight.

Li Mu's [-]-strong army left Longxi and took Di Dao. After passing through Fanghan, if it was still a large army marching, it would be difficult to hide from the investigation of the Sui army's spies.

But since Li Mu dared to issue a military order, he obviously wouldn't be troubled by this problem.

As a member of the Li family in Longxi, Li Mu knew the terrain around Longxi very well. He first used his knowledge of the terrain to figure out the location of the Sui army's secret post, and then led a thousand elite cavalry to bypass the post and go straight to the rear. He went to Heguan and hid in a ravine ten miles outside Heguan.

The location of this ravine is very hidden, but it's not too big. Hiding a thousand fine horses is the limit, no more can't be hidden.

"Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, Heguan is a mountain city. It is built on the mountain. The mountain road is steep and difficult for an army to browse through, but experts can."

A gleam flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The two of you lead fifty Iron Eagle warriors to cross this mountain, set up an ambush on the only road leading to Jincheng behind Heguan, and all those who come from Heguan within two days The Sui army, whether it is a sentry post or a soldier, will be killed."

"promise."

"Xuan Jian, Zhe Ri, without disturbing anyone, can the two of you go and capture a few Sui army sentry posts and interrogate them?" Li Mu asked.

"easy."

"Okay, the key to keeping the news from leaking out lies with Xuanjian and Zheri, and the key to breaking through the Heguan lies with you."

After Xuan Jian and Zhe Ri took the order to leave, Yan Xing came over and said with a worried face: "Brother Li, there are three thousand guards in Heguan City, but we only brought one thousand troops. Is it too risky to seize Heguan if it rings?"

"Soldiers are more expensive than many. As long as the Moya goes well, a thousand elite cavalry is enough."

Seeing Li Mu's self-confidence, Yan Xing, who was not very confident at first, was also infected by him.

Soon Xuan Jian and Zhe Ri came back, and captured eight secret sentries of the Sui army, and forced them to ask for the password.

Li Mu asked Xuan Jian, Zhe Ri, and six other Tie Ying fighters to change into Sui army clothes before returning to Heguan.

Because of the correct password, the defenders in the city did not doubt it. As a result, as soon as Mo Ya and others entered the city, they tried to show up and killed them directly.

Sima Xin, the guard of Heguan, surrendered Xiang Yu with Zhang Han and Dong Yi after the defeat in the Battle of Julu, and was the general of the end of Qin who was king of Sai after the fall of Qin.

After Sima Xin learned that the enemy had seized the gate, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he quickly led the army to seize the gate, and even sent several people back to Daxing to report, but all the people sent back were robbed by Qin Shuang and Nie Feng killed.

The two great masters, Xuan Jian and Yan Ri, led six first-class swordsmen, but they still felt a little powerless in the face of the besieging and killing of nearly a thousand Sui troops equipped with all kinds of equipment.

After only holding on for a stick of incense, the other six people were all killed in battle, only Xuan Jian and Yan Ri were left guarding the city gate, but they finally arrived at Li Mu's army.

"Assault by the whole army."

Li Mu held his spear high and took the lead. He was the first to rush into Heguan City, followed by nearly a thousand cavalry behind him.

The iron cavalry charge was so fierce, the Sui army who didn't react at the gate of the city, turned their backs on their backs, and was trampled to death, while those who reacted fled in all directions, not daring to confront it head-on, so that Li Mu easily rushed into the city.

Sima Xin was shocked when he saw the Qin army entering the city. He and his lieutenant Cao Jiu led their troops to stop the attack. They wanted to drive the Qin army back, but they bumped into Li Mu.

[Ding dong, Li Mu's skill 'Spearman' is activated, force +4, base force force 100 (104), current force rises to 104. 】

Sima Xin knew Li Mu, that's why he dared to attack Li Mu, but he didn't expect that Li Mu was no longer what it used to be. The two sides fought with only one move, and the big knife in his hand was directly knocked away by Li Mu.

Seeing that the spear was about to stab him, Sima Xin was frightened and ran away with his head in his arms, and shouted: "I surrender, don't kill me."

Li Mu's spear stopped at Sima Xin's throat, and said with a light smile, "Very good."

Sima Xin surrendered, and his deputy Cao Jiu was captured alive by Yan Xing, who was also persuaded by Sima Xin to surrender.

The defenders in the city have been killed by the Qin army, and the generals and deputy generals have surrendered. Naturally, they surrendered obediently, but there are also many people who do not want to surrender. They escaped from the city to report the news, but they were ambushed early Qin Shuang and Nie Fengfeng were killed.

Li Mu easily captured the Heguan without leaking any news, and then the army of Fanghan marched at full speed, removing all the bright and dark sentries along the way.

Just when Li Mu was about to continue marching, he received the news that Hu Luguang had seized Yuzhong City by trick.

So far, the two gates of Jincheng County have been opened to the Qin army, but Yang Guang in Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, still knows nothing about it.
