Chapter 625 The army will meet in the mighty city

To the north of Mighty City, between Sanguan Road, tens of thousands of Han troops arrived south, blocking the road to a dead end.When the army first arrived, as commander-in-chief Xiang Xun, the first military order was to defend and set up strongholds. Soldiers and civilians worked together to quarry and log, and the sound of knocking and chiseling resounded in the mountains.

The large tent of the Chinese army has been set up with a simple layout, and the generals of each army are camping and deploying defenses. Therefore, only Xiang Xun and Song Yanwo are present in the tent, and there is also Wang Renshan who knelt down to plead guilty.

"Regardless of the exhaustion of the soldiers, they rushed forward greedily, and attacked without authorization to rush to the enemy's pass, so that the army was defeated and the army was defeated, and our soldiers were defeated. What should be the crime?" Xiang Xun looked at Wang Renshan and said flatly.

Wang Renshan's attitude was still very upright, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please command the military to deal with it!"

Of course, military laws should be followed according to circumstances, and it is impossible for Xiang Xun to punish Wang Renshan severely because of a small defeat. However, the necessary procedures must be followed to warn others! "

"General Wang, led the army to the south. The front of the soldiers was invincible. They broke through the Eight Villages, and the Shu army fled in despair. According to the situation of the battle, it is reasonable to take advantage of the situation to pursue and cover up the kill!" Song Yanwo stood up, sang red face, and turned to The training said: "Although I suffered a small defeat, I also tried the mighty city and the enemy's situation. Let's make a note for now. After the battle, let the court reward and punish it!"

"Since Song Dujian has spoken, let's leave it at that!" Xiang Xun nodded and asked Wang Renshan to stand up.

"This battle is not easy for you and Li Yan. How can I not know how hard it is for you to march and fight in the scorching heat to overcome the enemy!" Xiang Xun changed his tone and said, "Tell me about the defense of Mighty City." how?"

"Back to the commander-in-chief!" Wang Renshan quickly entered the state, and said: "The last general to be defeated is Gao Yanchou, the defender of the city. If Han Jixun's defeated army is added, the strength of the defenders in the city will surely exceed [-].

At the end, Chaguan City was arranged, occupying the middle of the road, divided into inner and outer cities, and surrounded by three or four miles. However, its layout is tight, and its defense is very strict.If the enemy defends them with heavy troops, it will be difficult if nothing unexpected happens! "

"If I bring soldiers here, I will destroy this city!" Xiang Xun said solemnly.

Wang Renshan clasped his fists and begged: "The commander in chief, the last general begs for orders, and leads his subordinates to attack the city to redeem the past, please agree!"

Seeing this, Xiang Xun couldn't help smiling, and comforted him: "Be safe and don't be impatient! Your troops have been attacked and fought fiercely, with nearly [-]% casualties. The loss is not small. It is better to organize the troops in the battalion first and raise enough combat power. Furthermore, We still need to wait for Li Tinggui's movements before making a decision!"

"Yes!"

After Wang Renshan retired, Song Yanwo said: "This Wang Renshan is also capable of both civil and military skills. He is determined to forge ahead, and he is a talent!"

"It's also because of too much dedication, otherwise, how dare you lead two thousand tired soldiers to rush forward to attack the strong pass!" Xiang Xun said: "I still want to attack the enemy's pass, but I dare not allow it again, otherwise, the other generals, There's going to be trouble!"

After studying the map, Xiang Xun said: "This map wasted a lot of effort. Although the roads, city gates, mountains, and water veins are detailed, they are dead maps. I want to personally explore the surrounding terrain and the layout of the city gates." , in the army, the son-in-law will take care of it for the time being!"

"You are handsome and careful!" Song Yanwo was always modest, and he clapped his hands in agreement.

Weiwu City is an important place for plank roads, connected by mountains, blocking north-south traffic, divided into inner and outer cities, and surrounded by three or four miles. It is a big pass in the Qinling Mountains, and it is also the most important fortress in the north of Liangquan in Fengzhou Prefecture. stuffed.

The inner city is of brick and stone structure, with granaries and arsenals, city walls and towers, and heavily guarded.The outer city is made of wood, and the scale is not small. The towering trees outside the city block out the sun, which is considered a forest array, and the roads are cut through it, which is very complicated. If people are trapped in it, they may lose their way without guidance.

Xiang Xun led a team of personal soldiers to inspect the surrounding situation, and climbed up to the front of the pass to have a look.Looking around, Xiang Xun stared at the mighty Chengguan in a daze.

After a long time, Xiang Xun said to Murong Chengtai who was beside him: "The former king of Shu built the Guancheng here to consolidate the northern defense. It has been nearly 40 years now. At the beginning, when Guo Chongtao destroyed Shu, he first took Fengzhou and consolidated the rear. And use the vanguard to break through this pass, and the defenders will surrender! Now, the commander of our army is coming here, and we are going to have a big battle here!"

"Du Shuai, I see that before this pass, there are lush trees and rolling mountains, which are not conducive to the deployment of the army. It is very difficult to break through the pass!" Murong Chengtai couldn't help training Xiang Xiang.

As for Xiang Xun, looking at the wooden village and the surrounding dense forests, especially the military barracks built in it, he was thoughtful.

"All the scouts in the general are sent out to explore the way and keep a close eye on the movements of the Shu army!" Reining in the horse, he gave instructions to Xun, and said, "Go back to the camp!"

Mighty City has become a military fortress. With Shu Shuai Li Tinggui leading the main force northward to support, various armies have gathered here. More than 50,000 soldiers and civilians have gathered in the city gate base, front and back mountain villages.Obviously, as the general of the Han army expected, the Shu army set up heavy troops here, trying to stop the Han army here.

In fact, according to Li Tinggui's original idea, he planned to rely on the favorable location to set up strongholds layer by layer, setting up obstacles at every step, so as to delay the Han army, exhaust them, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy.

This is a good strategy. However, the offensive ability of the Han army is somewhat beyond imagination. In less than ten days, all the scalpers and eight villages were defeated by Wang Renshan. They were defeated so quickly that people were caught off guard.In view of this, the Shu army was shaken up and down. Although Gao Yanchou lost a small defeat to the Han army, he only saved some face.

Although Mighty City is strong, Li Tinggui can't confidently say how long it can hold off with the main force of the Han army attacking.And if the mighty city is broken, Liang Quan will be even more difficult to defend. Therefore, after consideration, Li Tinggui chose to lead a large army to the north to help against the Han army.

In fact, some aides suggested to Li Tinggui that Qingni Road is the most dangerous Sanguan Road, and the winding mountain road is difficult for birds to cross. He suggested that Li Tinggui deploy his main force around Guzhen.However, in this way, Liang Quan and other places had to give up, and they would not be able to do business with the Chengdu court, and it would easily affect the Shu army in Qinzhou.

In the mighty inner city, Li Tinggui, the commander of the Shu army who also just arrived, didn't care about the exhaustion of the march, so he summoned Gao Yanchou and Han Jixun to inquire about the enemy's situation.

For Han Jixun, Li Tinggui was a little angry. He and his [-] soldiers and horses defended the fortress, but they were easily defeated by the Han army.More importantly, he only received Han Jixun's "good news" on the front foot, killed hundreds of enemies, frustrated the enemy's spirit, and turned to Chengdu, only to receive the defeat report that Huangniu Village was captured on the back foot.

At this time, I heard that his mouth was full of descriptions of the Han army's strength, and he became more angry and wanted to attack.However, seeing Han Jixun's miserable appearance with scars all over his body, he couldn't be too harsh.

Li Tinggui thinks a lot. He knows the strength of the Han army. Two years ago in the battle of Donghe Village, he lost more soldiers. Although Han Jixun was defeated, he still gathered nearly [-] defeated soldiers and assisted Gao Yanchou in repelling the chasing Han army. , something has been gained.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Tinggui expressed tolerance to Han Jixun, and after reprimanding him a little, he also comforted him and asked him to recuperate and reorganize the army before fighting the Han army again.

For Li Tinggui's generosity, Han Jixun was naturally very impressed, although he swore on the spot to fight against the Han army.But in fact, the heart of the enemy has been born.

"Tell me about the enemy situation of the Han army!" In the hall, Li Tinggui asked Gao Yanchou.

Gao Yanchou is one of the few capable generals in the Shu army. In the early days of the country, the Shu Han fought fiercely. After the battle at Jifeng Mountain, this person led the army, raided Sanguan, burned the pass and destroyed the village.

During the period of guarding the gate, I did a lot of things, and I also investigated and understood the enemy's situation.When I heard about it at this time, I said directly: "Although the Han army is known as one hundred thousand, there are definitely no more than 24 capable fighters. At the beginning of its arrival, in the Kanto and North, along the valleys and ridges, a total of [-] villages were built. Large and small camps are used to collect soldiers, horses, food and equipment!"

"It's menacing!" Li Tinggui couldn't help but sighed, with a more solemn expression, and said, "Han Jixun's army has more than ten thousand troops, and he was defeated by thousands of Han troops. Now the tens of thousands of Han troops are hard to beat!"

Gao Yanchou looked calm: "The Han army is strong, but it is not so easy to break through by setting up obstacles and closing high barriers. Even more, I am looking forward to the Han army's attack, consuming its strength and weakening its morale. Look for an opportunity to counterattack. However, judging from the actions of the Han army's deployment, they will not attack recklessly. Recruit envoys, we must be prepared for a long-term fierce battle!"

"Gao Shijun's analysis is reasonable!" Li Tinggui immediately agreed: "It is difficult to transport grain and fodder in the old way. If the Han army is forced to fight for a long time without success, it may retreat by itself. If the grain, fodder and military equipment are consumed, our court will not be afraid of the Han army?"

"For the mighty city, I will lead the army to reject it, so I don't have to worry about it for the time being! It's just—" After a pause, Li Tinggui's expression flashed a gloomy look: "The other side of Qinzhou is worth worrying about! There is no dangerous pass there. , the Han army divides up to attack, and with Zhao Jizha's talent, I fear he will make a mistake!"

"Recruit envoys, let's deal with the enemy before the pass first!" Gao Yanchou sighed, frowning slightly.
