Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 390 Li Qianpu Sends Troops

Miaochuan City.

Wen Chengbu was dumbfounded when he learned that the city had fallen.

They had thought of the worst plan. Ningtao Village, Dangcheng, Ningchuan Fort, and Bajin City could not stop the attacking pace of the Central Plains Western Expeditionary Army. With the momentum of advancement, while lengthening their battle line, they will gain a chance to win by attacking the grain road.At worst, it can wear them down and let them retreat on their own.

This is their overall strategic goal.

But no matter how much they considered the worst direction, they never imagined that the city could not last for three days.

They only got the news the day before yesterday that the tactics worked and the city was as solid as a rock.

In the blink of an eye, the city fell?

Don't come too fast for this slap in the face.

Suppressing his flustered heart, Wen Chengbu pretended to be calm and said: "How are the Central Plains thieves doing now?"

The messenger said: "The Dangcheng they demolished has already marched towards the Ningtao stronghold."

Wen Chengbu was also silent for a while.

Dangcheng is a military fortress built by local tribes, which is meaningless to the overall development of Huangzhou, and instead affects road traffic.

Dangcheng, which Wen Chengbu wanted to demolish many times in his early years, never had the chance.

Now that Murong Yanzhao and Kang Yanze have demolished it, Wen Chengbu is not happy at all: when the city is gone, the Central Plains don't have to worry about stationing troops and retaking it for them.But they completely lost this important military location.

Wen Chengbu was very upset. After this series of battles, he found that the Central Plains' tactics and tactics, as well as the equipment and quality of the soldiers were not comparable to them.

What they think of, the other party can often think of.

Even if the other party is calculated mentally or unintentionally, he can quickly adjust and come up with a way to deal with it.

However, the opponent's every move made them helpless.

Thinking of holding the lofty ambitions of the first hundred thousand troops, and seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, Wen Chengbu had a strange feeling: he was like a lamb being watched by a tiger...

This premonition of dying made this Huangzhou handsome man a little crazy.

The Great Lama Ban Zhaxi also frowned, and said: "The Central Plains bandits have tasted the sweetness of attacking the city at night, and they will attack Ningtao Village at night. It is difficult to march at night, so we have to find a way to support Ningtao Village. If Ningtao village is once again easily captured by the Central Plains, and the morale of the army is bound to be shaken."

Wen Chengbu didn't know this truth.

To put it bluntly is just one sentence, the strength gap is too big.

If they have the power to fight against the Central Plains cavalry, no matter day or night, they will have the power to fight with the force of the corner.

The biggest problem now is that there is no chance of winning the field battle, and the hard power is not enough. Any strategy is a joke.

Nothing can be done,

Wen Chengbu was a little annoyed and said: "The Central Plains soldiers attack the city at night, and they will be sleepy during the day. You can let the soldiers try to attack the camp."

What Wen Chengbu said made sense.

Soldiers in the Central Plains fought at night, but during the day they were indeed exhausted.

But Murong Yanzhao and Kang Yanze had no intention of playing.

Five thousand strong crossbowmen who did not participate in the siege guarded the camp, and attacked if they had the ability.

Murong Yanzhao and Kang Yanze, who were catching up on sleep, didn't wait to get up to direct...

When Wen Chengbu and Ban Zhaxi learned of this situation, there was nothing they could do.

A sharp weapon like a strong crossbow is an unsolvable existence for Tubo, whose technology has been backward for hundreds of years.

Just when Wen Chengbu and Ban Zhaxi were at a loss, another piece of news came:
Li Qianpu of Jincheng sent troops.

Li Qianpu, who had been standing still in Jincheng, suddenly sent troops after learning that Murong Yanzhao and Kang Yanze had captured the city and attacked Ningtao Village.

He led the [-] soldiers and horses under his command all the way westward, and they had already arrived at Dongguan. The speed was so fast that Wen Chengbu and Ban Zhaxi were caught off guard.

Wen Chengbu exclaimed in disbelief, "Why so fast?"

Wen Chengbu was stunned by the orderly's answer.

"Li Qianpu got the support of Lanzhou Haoqiang and borrowed [-] horses. Li Qianpu's entire army rode horses, and the speed was extremely fast."

"Bastard!" Wen Chengbu had nothing but incompetence and rage.

Ban Zhaxi said solemnly: "You should immediately send troops to support Tongchuan Fort. Tongchuan Fort must not be lost. Once Tongchuan Fort is breached by bandits, Li Qianpu's troops will go straight to Miaochuan City."

They defended Murong Yanzhao with heavy troops, which inevitably led to a slack in defense on the other road.

Wen Chengbu nodded in agreement: "Soldiers from Diaochuan City, or frontline troops?"

Ban Zhaxi said: "Let's use the defenders of Miaochuan City. The front-line soldiers and horses cannot move. The most powerful of the two armies is Murong Yanzhao. The morale of the southern line has been low due to the fall of the city. Let's mobilize soldiers to go north. , the situation is even worse."

Wen Chengbu said helplessly: "It has to be like this!"

Wen Chengbu didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately called his confidant Wen Fei, asked him to lead [-] cavalry, and ordered him to march day and night to quickly support Tongchuan Fort.

Tongchuan Fort.

Li Qianpu left Dongguan and headed west all the way. Along the way, there were undulating mountains and rugged terrain, but he arrived at Tongchuan Fort unimpeded.

Tongchuan Fort is located at the junction of Huangzhou and Lanzhou. To the north is Liuling, which stretches for [-] miles, which is the only way to Lingzhou in the south of the Great Wall.

Since Chang'an was ruined and the Central Plains fell into civil strife, merchants from Tubo and the Western Regions prefer to go to Lingzhou for trade.

At the same time, Tongchuan Fort is also an extremely rare strategic location to reject Lanzhou in the east and block the Qiang people in the desert in the north.

Taking into account both strategy and wealth, the geographical location of Tongchuan Fort has also risen, which is extremely important. Many powerful dogs in Huangzhou have played out their brains around the competition for Tongchuan Fort.

They fought fiercely, and all parties suffered heavy losses. Merchants from all directions were also afraid of military disasters, so they did not dare to come.

Seeing that the situation was not right, several powerful powers adopted the method of co-governance to share the benefits together.

This stabilized the situation in Fort Tongchuan.

Li Qianpu looked at the majestic Tongchuan Fort, and a young man named Mu Bo beside him said: "The commander came a day late, it would have been better if he came a day earlier. The other side's reinforcements just arrived yesterday. Come a little earlier." day, we will be able to intercept the opponent's reinforcements."

Mubo is the young master of a small tribe in Jincheng. He travels between Jincheng and Miaochuan City in Huangzhou all the year round. He is very familiar with the terrain here, so he volunteered to act as a guide.

Li Qianpu said in a somewhat unfamiliar Tubo language: "Don't worry, they will go back in a few days."

After Li Qianpu served as the governor of Weizhou, he realized that the imperial court might attack Hehuang in Longyou.

Therefore, he adopted a benevolent government to absorb all kinds of Tubo, Tuyuhun, Qiang, and Uighur people on the border, treated them equally, and took them for his own use.

In order to better communicate with these people, he encouraged them to learn Chinese and at the same time learned Tibetan himself. Now there is no problem in normal communication with Tibetans.

He left behind a pointed remark, turned around and arranged for the soldiers behind him to set up camp on the spot, cut down trees, and build simple siege equipment.
