Han Shizu

Chapter 622
It is worth the dog days, which is the sternest and hottest time of the year, especially among the lush forested mountains, it is even more stuffy.Midsummer is really not a good time to mobilize troops. Fortunately, it is not too far to advance to fight, and then hold the time with Xiangxun.

Huangniu Bazhai is located in the southwest of Sanguan, about [-] miles away. It is a post road in Sanguan, adjacent to Gudao water vein.The mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk, but it takes more than a day to arrive at the mountain, but it is late in the day and out at night.

Of course, it is almost impossible to sneak to the front of Shuzhai quietly, and to hide at night, just to avoid the scorching heat.But three miles away, surrounded by mountains and valleys, the military village was erected, and after the Han flag was raised high, the Shu army in Huangniu Village was immediately alerted, and the defense was further strengthened.

The Han army camp is continuing to build and reinforce, preparing ordnance, checking food and fodder, and fetching water to make food. Although it is busy, it is busy but not chaotic.Some of the ten soldiers were ordered to rest on the spot to restore their combat power. There were also three battalions of soldiers, under the command of Wang Renshan, hiding in the mountains and forests.

Among the lush forests, the vegetation is dense and the crowns are large and wide. Although it can provide shade from the sun, but it is the middle of the day, and the heat is unavoidable.The Han soldiers of the three battalions each kept their positions, but most of them took off their armor and opened their clothes, even the general Wang Renshan did the same.

In the fierce battle of Shu Han two years ago, Wang Renshan was recommended by Zhao Hui, who came to Beijing, from a general who defended the pass and chased and defeated the enemy.As a result, he became a senior general of the Han court.

For Wang Renshan, who was 36 years old at the time, it can be described as a late bloomer.However, his people naturally have their talents, so they can rise up according to the situation and be discovered in the army.

Now, Wang Renshan is 38 years old, his ambition is still unshakable, and his heart of striving for progress is getting stronger and stronger.This time of conquering Shu, I can be said to be grateful to Xiang Xun for his pioneering work.

Leaning on a piece of bluestone, there is a faint coolness coming from between the stones, which is better than nothing, relieving the dryness and heat.Wang Renshan closed his eyes, and seemed to be in a deep sleep. He looked very handsome, and he was even more attractive in this army.

"General!" A battalion general under his command came to report.

"The Shu army hasn't moved yet?" Wang Renshan asked after opening his eyes.

"No, according to the final general, the Shu army will not attack easily! On the contrary, there are Shu army sentry sticking out of the stronghold to investigate, almost aware of it!" The battalion general said: "It's past noon now, and the mountains and forests are too hot. The soldiers marched through the night, and before they had time to rest, they were very tired, and they used up too much water to drink with them.”

The meaning of the camp general is obvious.Wang Renshan looked around, and the dense forest seemed very quiet, except for the chirping of cicadas and the occasional chirping of birds, there was no other sound.The soldiers under his command are still lurking in the middle, keeping their duties. Although they strictly observe military discipline, they are clearly in distress.

Wang Renshan thought about this situation for a while, and then ordered: "Let's retreat! Let the soldiers go back to the camp to rest! You choose a team of soldiers with good endurance, and follow me to Shuzhai to explore the camp."

Originally, at the first arrival of the overnight march, they felled trees to build a stronghold and held up banners in order to lure the Shu army to take advantage of the Han army's unstable foothold and attack from the stronghold, so elite soldiers were selected to set up ambush here.But the purpose was obviously in vain, and the Shu army didn't move at all.

"Why do you need the general to go to the camp in person, let the last general take people there!" the general of the Han camp said to Wang Ren.

"I want to approach in person, survey the terrain and the enemy's stronghold, otherwise I can't rest assured!" Wang Renshan waved his hand: "The commander-in-chief will entrust us with the first important task. We must destroy the stronghold and make contributions, so as not to be looked down upon by others!"

On the side of Huangniuzhai, the guard of the Shu army is called Han Jixun, who was originally the defense envoy of Chengzhou of the Kingdom of Shu, and is a senior general in the Shu army of the four states. Take precautions to defend against the Han army.

The movement outside the Han army camp was still observed by the Shu sentry. Of course, it was because they did not hide their whereabouts when they returned to camp.After getting the report, Han Jixun was a little shocked and said: "The Han army is indeed treacherous, and is trying to lure our army to attack!"

When they said this, two Shu schools under their command were a little embarrassed. It was they who suggested that when the Han army arrived at the beginning of its trek and its foothold was not stable, they sent troops to attack it and dampen its spirit.Han Jixun, who was seeking stability, refused. Although the outcome of the attack was unpredictable, it was not as the Han army intended.

"How many people from the Han army have come this time? Who is the general in command?" Han Jixun asked the Sentinel Military Academy.

The military academy replied: "The Han camp is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its vision is blocked. It is hard to predict its strength, but judging from the scale of its camp, there should be at least 5000 people! In the flag, there are 'Wang' and 'Li'."

"Among Fengxiang Han generals, there are not many people surnamed Li, but there are quite a few surnamed Wang!" said a Shu military academy.

Han Jixun frowned, his face was a little ugly, he stared at the sentry, and said: "Continue to spy, closely monitor the movement of the Han army, and we must find out the enemy's situation. The enemy has closed the camp, but we don't even know who the enemy general is." I don't know, how can there be such absurd things in the world?"

"Yes!"

"My lord, the Han army is about to officially launch an attack. The enemy's situation is urgent. Do you want to ask Liang Quan for help?" the subordinate asked.

As soon as this remark fell, Han Jixun felt even more ashamed, glanced at the generals, and reprimanded: "The Han army has just arrived, the enemy's situation is unknown, we are defending the Guzhai, and they have not even launched a tentative attack. My side is like the commander asking for help? "

"The Han army is not a scourge. If you don't fight, how can you know whether it is strong or weak? We have nothing to fear!" Han Jixun taught him a lesson and boosted his morale: "Just send the enemy's information to the Chinese army! Wait for me Strictly defend the village, and order the remaining seven villages to strengthen their defenses, raise their vigilance, and not relax, in case the Han army comes to attack!"

"Yes!"

"In terms of attack, they are not the opponents of the Han army. Could it be that they are not as good as defending the stronghold in this mountain range!" Han Jixun said coldly.

On the Han army's side, it took almost a whole day to settle down. The defense of the stronghold was strong and barely defensible. During this period, all the battalion soldiers took turns to rest.The smoke from the kitchen has risen, let's make dinner.

When Wang Renshan returned to the camp, the sky had already darkened, so he immediately found Li Yan, the lieutenant general.During the battle of Donghe Village two years ago, Li Yan was trapped by the Shu army, and it was precisely Wang Renshan who led the army to rescue him. Since then, he has formed a life-and-death friendship.

"Before the war, in the army, you could still enjoy rice, noodles, fruits and vegetables. This is the past, can you imagine?" In the military tent, Wang Renshan rubbed his stomach, looking full of appetite.

Li Yan took a bite of the cake, took a mouthful of vegetables, and said: "I followed Yaogong and fought for nearly 20 years. I suppressed rebellion, defended Khitan, and defeated Dangxiang. In the past, I was able to fight with hunger, which is rare."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Renshan, who was devouring it voraciously: "How about the enemy's prospecting?"

While eating, Wang Renshan said: "I ran back and forth for twenty miles, and I saw several enemy villages once, and I basically understood them. The eight villages of the Shu army occupy Xingsheng, and they are the corners of each other. They cover each other and surround each other. Buckle, if the enemy shrinks and defends, it is not easy to attack.

Among all the villages, the Huangniu Village is the largest and the strongest.He caught a sentry of the Shu Army, and by means of some tricks, he found out from his mouth that Han Jixun, the main general of Huangniu Village, was guarding it himself, with three thousand soldiers, and more than a thousand soldiers in the other villages. "

After a pause, Wang Renshan joked: "The Shu army still values ​​these eight villages. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. It's enough for you and me to make a great contribution!"

"Our military strength is not as good as that of the Bazhai Shu Army!" Li Yan said with a light smile.

"Left and right, we didn't attack the eight enemy villages at the same time!" Wang Renshan replied calmly.

Li Yan took the map, asked Wang Renshan to mark it, and explained the terrain in detail.After thinking for a while, he clicked on the Yellow Niu Village, and said, "Brother Wang, let's start from the hardest bone, how about it? If this pass is lowered, the defense of the village will inevitably collapse, and the rest of the villages can take advantage of the trend! "

"Heroes see the same thing, that's exactly what I mean!" Wang Renshan said.

"Let the soldiers rest for a whole day and night. Tomorrow afternoon, I will lead two battalions of soldiers to attack the Huangniu village first, and try its reality!" Wang Renshan said seriously.

Hearing this, Li Yan chuckled, and asked: "Brother Wang, you have worked hard today. Let me lead you to take the matter of attacking the stronghold, how about it?"

Facing his gaze, Wang Renshan didn't want to lose face, nodded and said: "Then leave it to Brother Li!"

"I have to urge the Chinese army to bring in the equipment for attacking the stronghold, especially those catapults. Although the soldiers are brave, it's not easy to force their way into the danger with their flesh and blood!"

In fact, when fighting Qin Feng, Xiang Xun had already reminded the generals under his command that this battle had to be fought with hard power, and casualties were inevitable.

　War descriptions are really not my forte. Qin Feng will try to simplify the battle.
