Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 389 Blitz III

Three days later, Sishui closed the city.

"kill!"

"Up the ladder!"

"Jing Lan car!"

"Archers, cover with all your strength!"

"charge!"

"At any cost, kill it!"

The sudden World War I broke out suddenly, the sky was still snowing, braving the wind and snow, the Kwantung Allied Forces, under the leadership of the ally leader Yuan Shao, assembled 20 main forces, cleared the periphery overnight, and started beating drums directly Siege.

"Are these princes crazy?"

"Assault my city wall under heavy snow, seek death!"

On the top of the city, Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji, two powerful generals of the Xiliang Army, stood side by side. They watched the battle under the city wall in bewilderment.

The Xiliang army they led entered Sishui Pass only the day before yesterday. When they entered Sishui Pass, the main force of Jingping's army had already left, but there was only a battalion of [-] soldiers waiting for them to enter.

In fact, they all thought it was just a simple task.

Just switch?

There is no need to brave the storm and be forced to fight in Hanoi.

Sishui Pass, a pass city, has too obvious geographical advantages, and it has been established for a long time. Over time, it has already become a majestic and boundless pass city with high walls and thick walls. Now it is snowing heavily , even if there is a battle, at most it will be a piecemeal encounter outside the city, and it is impossible for a decisive battle to break out.

So it's easy for them to move in.

But they had only rested for more than a day, not to mention familiarizing themselves with the defensive features of the various walls of Sishuiguan City, and they didn't even have a firm foothold when they camped. Confused.

"What do we do now?"

Hua Xiong stared at the coalition soldiers below, clenched his fists, and asked coldly with a gloomy expression.

The dilemma is talking about the current Xiliang army.

"Now that things are up to now, what else can we do? Should we withdraw from Sishui Pass and hand over Sishui Pass? Not to mention the imperial court, I am afraid that the lord will be the first to let us off. The lord is under the control of others, none of us want to live!"

Zhang Ji is a handsome talent under Dong Zhuo's command. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he is also very good at dispatching troops. He was a little bit ruthless: "Since they want to fight, we can only stay with them to the end. With Sishui Pass and Guancheng, I would rather Look, the Kwantung Allied Forces, what is there to fear!"

"Then fight!"

"I'm going to dispatch the army to come up!"

"Be careful when arming, you must take care of both wings!"

"Form an echelon and leave a reserve army!"

The two discussed for a while, and directly dispatched the main force of Xiliang, relying on the powerful city wall, to face the strong attack on the city wall by the Kwantung heroes.

In Guancheng, an area in the north of the city.

The first battalion of the Jingping army was stationed, with three thousand soldiers and horses, their armor and weapons never left their hands, ready to wait.

"Master Colonel, the Xiliang army has entered the gate!" The generals who had been waiting for a long time finally got an accurate message after two scouts rushed into the camp.

"Liu and the others dare not fail!"

Luo Ying is the left-behind general of Jingping Army, the captain of Jingping's first battalion, he didn't expect anything when he heard the words, he just nodded lightly.

After all, Sishui Pass was a pass that Jingping Army had operated for more than a year. No one was more familiar with Jingping Army, and this would be a main battlefield in the future, so it was impossible to hand it over to Xiliang Army.

"Decree the logistics, try our best to ensure the supply of food and grass for the Xiliang army to fight. In addition, all the secret underground warehouses established by our Jingping army in the city are closed, and they are not allowed to enter or leave. For the warehouses on the surface, just keep the grain and grass for March! "

After Luo Ying thought for a while, he ordered.

Jingping's army established a foothold here, and naturally built countless warehouses, including weapon depots and grain depots. In the previous commercial war, hundreds of thousands of shi of grain were shipped to Sishui Pass, which was enough to support the battle at Sishui Pass. It is impossible for the Xiliang Army to discover things.

"Obey!" The two military marquises went to handle the matter in person.

"One more thing!"

Luo Ying instructed all his subordinates, saying: "From now on, all the soldiers of my Jingping [-]st Battalion are not allowed to leave the camp without reason, and are not allowed to provoke troubles without reason. Now is a critical moment. Our main force has already rushed to Hanoi. Our first The mission of the battalion is to take root in Sishuiguan, if we can't, let the Xiliang army find a way to expel us!"

Now in Sishui Pass, Xiliang's main forces have the biggest fists, and thousands of Jingping soldiers have to learn to bow their heads. If they are caught and expelled, the pass they built with one hand may fall into Xiliang.

Both the soldiers of the Xiliang Army and the members of the pastoral party know that the alliance between them is only for the sake of the overall situation. There will be no real trust between the two parties, and precautions are necessary.

"promise!"

The generals surrendered.

After a while, Luo Ying opened the curtain of the camp gate and looked at the snow falling outside: "I hope Hanoi will go well. If Hanoi can't be solved before spring, Sishuiguan will change hands!"

……

……

At the ferry of the Yellow River, fireworks gather.

This is a small town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, leaning on a big mountain, facing the Yellow River, directly facing the ferry, and facing the mountains behind, there are many people coming and going.

"Shouldn't the Sishui Pass be fought at this time?"

The main force of Jing Ping's army marched here to take a rest and prepare tools for crossing the river, so they set up camp temporarily. Under the tent, Mu Jing raised his head and watched the snowflakes fall from the sky and land on the ground.

"If there is no accident, there must be a fight!"

Xi Zhicai reminded: "However, don't have too much hope. The Kwantung Allied Forces are not stupid. They just recalled a face and encouraged the soldiers. They won't die at Sishui Pass. It won't take a few days until they find out. Sishuiguan is a tough bone, we will definitely retreat!"

"Of course I know that!"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "But high-intensity combat has always been two-sided. If Sishui Pass is fought hard, the Kwantung heroes may retreat, but if the Xiliang Army suffers, they will not retreat half a step. , this move is still a good one!"

"That's true!" Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile, he had to admit that Mu's move was very good, and it was several layers deeper than those old foxes' calculations.

"Hey, I'm more worried about our place now!"

Mu Jing stretched out his hand, held a few flakes of snow in his palm, watched it melt under the warmth of his palm, and said: "It took us three days to march here, if we want to regain the east of the river as planned, To defeat the Hanoi army, we must have marched a bit slowly, and it will be difficult to achieve our goal!"

"It's windy and snowy, and the official roads are covered with snow. Marching is too difficult!"

Xi Zhicai stood beside Mu Jing, smiled wryly, and said, "I thought it was too easy before, and the plan needs to be changed."

It is not unreasonable for many people to be unwilling to fight in winter. Fighting in this season will get twice the result with half the effort. The difficulty of marching alone can make many people be blocked.

Jing Ping's army is elite, but there are too many new recruits gathered before. Even after training, they still have no sharpening of the front line.

Therefore, the speed of marching cannot be as they wish.

"Your plan is fine!"

But Mu Jing shook his head, although now that they have come down from the march, they are a bit wrong with the plan they made before, but it is not without chance, he said: "You are right in one sentence, it is not how we want to choose Combat is the only option we have no choice but to fight with lightning, the only way out for Cai, we cannot defeat Wang Kuang in a short time, Hanoi's dog skin plaster is tantamount to sticking to us!"

For the sake of the overall situation, Xi Zhicai's battle plan is not wrong at all.

How this is implemented is what matters.

"My lord, news from Jing Wusi!"

At this time, a personal guard handed him a secret letter with Jing Wusi's unique brand on it, so he opened it and looked at it with confidence.

After watching it, his complexion was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"look by youself!"

Mu Jing sighed, and handed the secret letter to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai hurriedly went to look at it, and when he saw it, it was like thunder: "Wang Kuang abandoned Huai County, and the Hanoi army was withdrawn to Chaoge City?"

Huai County is the county seat of Hanoi.

Hanoi Wang Kuang assembled tens of thousands of Hanoi troops, basically guarding Huaicheng. Su Yoyi's previous goal was to attack Huaicheng quickly and quickly, and remove Hanoi's rebellious heart in one fell swoop.

But now Wang Kuang suddenly dispatched the main force to the north, and withdrew from Huai County to Chaoge, which disrupted their plan at once.

Huai County is not far from them, at most three hundred miles away.

But Chaoge is already close to Shangdang and Jizhou, at least five or six hundred miles north.

"The news has leaked out!"

Xi Zhicai said in a cold voice.

"You mean, Wang Kuang knew we were sending troops to conquer him?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, "That's why he moved northward, from Huai County to Chaoge, to avoid our attack!"

"Definitely is!"

"But how could they have news so soon? It is logically impossible!"

Mu Jing frowned, a little puzzled.

"It won't be the news leaked by us. First of all, our Jingping army marched meticulously, and it was covered by wind and snow. Even if the Hanoi gentry had their eyes all over Hanoi, we hadn't entered Hanoi yet. It was impossible to alarm them. We have a problem here. With our marching speed, they have no time to prepare. It must be a problem in the capital. Therefore, the Hanoi army has already made plans to withdraw into Chaoge. They will plan for at least ten days. Take advantage of the trend to withdraw the main force of the Hanoi army into Chaoge, and rely on Chaoge City to resist!"

Xi Zhicai asserted: "This has confirmed what I thought before. The chaos in Hanoi must have something to do with the capital. Some people even wanted to use the chaos in Hanoi to help the princes of the Kwantung Province attack the capital..."

There is a sentence that he, as a Hanchen, did not say.

"Is it the Son of Heaven?"

But Mu Jing understood, he said in a gloomy voice.

"Maybe!" Xi Zhicai was silent for a while, but didn't understand what he said.

"The loyal ministers of the Liu family are truly innumerable, and they can't be killed without end!"

Mu Jing yelled loudly, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "These old guys, what time have they been, and they are still fighting against our Mu clan? Don't they know that once the coalition forces break through the capital, let alone us, big men will dead!"

In the imperial court, many old ministers regarded the Mu family as a thorn in their side, and it was not impossible to come out to make trouble at this time, and they were above the court, and any actions of the Mu family were under their noses, so it was not difficult to calculate.

"Now is not the time to talk, change strategy!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Strategy shouldn't be!"

Mu Jing said coldly: "There is no difference between playing Huai County and playing Chaoge!"

"But this time, our march is difficult. Chaoge City has to go north for at least six or seven hundred miles. In this kind of weather, we can't walk a hundred miles a day!"

"The weather in Beijing this year is colder than in previous years. It's snowing heavily, and the ground has already accumulated more than a foot of snow. Snow may be a good helper!"

Mu Jing stared at the snowflakes falling outside, and said gloomyly: "I have a way to increase the marching speed, send me an order, the army will rest here for a day, and then cross the river after a day, and gather all the craftsmen of Jingping's army. "

"Another day off?"

Xi Zhicai was taken aback.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, sharpening a knife is the same as chopping firewood!" Mu Jing said calmly.

The army is stationed.

……

Chaoge City.

This is the former capital city of the great merchants. Even after more than a thousand years, the atmosphere of the former Shang Dynasty can still be seen from the outline of the city walls.

in the city.

Wang Kuang took a sip of hot water, warmed his chilly body, and then said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Thank you, Brother Sima, for your support!"

Without the support of the Sima family, he would not have summoned the Hanoi army to conquer the court so easily.

Without the support of the Sima family, he would not have been able to quickly move from Huai County to the north.

In this Hanoi county, although he is the prefect, the uncrowned king is always the Sima family. Only with the support of the Sima family can he gain a firm foothold in this Hanoi county.

"Wang Taishou is being polite!"

Sima Fang said calmly: "There are thieves in the court, the emperor was robbed, and he is a Han subject, but he is powerless to return to heaven, so he resigns and returns to his hometown. Now it is just a little bit of effort!"

"Patriarch Sima, please rest assured that the righteous people in the world will surely defeat the army of shepherds, rescue your majesty, and return the big man to a bright sky!" Wang Kuang said: "Now we move to Chaoge, and the imperial court is beyond our reach. What do you think the army thinks, in the spring of next year, when the allied forces attack Sishui Pass, I can send my troops southward and approach Luoyang City!"

"Hope it!"

When Sima Fang heard the words, he felt a little pessimistic.

In the capital, he fought with the Mu Party more than once, and Yuan's entire family was beheaded, which made him feel a little bit afraid of Mu Shan.

"Prefect Wang, don't take it lightly!" Sima Fang instructed, "There are a lot of talents in the pastoral party, so don't underestimate them, maybe..."

"Hahaha!"

But Wang Kuang laughed loudly: "With such a climate, if I were in Huai County, I might be a bit afraid, but in Chaoge, Liang and the others wouldn't dare to come!"

Huai County is too close to Luoyang, and the main force of the animal husbandry department can send troops at any time.

But Chaoge, he didn't believe that the herdsmen would brave the wind and snow to travel seven or eight hundred miles to conquer their Hanoi army. Besides, the Hanoi army is not a vegetarian anymore. Although they are all young and strong recruited recently, they have enough food , full of weapons, enough to fight.

Sima Fang thought about it, and nodded. The move to Chaoge was prompted by Wang Yun. When Wang Kuang raised his troops to attack Mushan, he had already had such a plan to prevent the Mushan troops from sending troops to flatten Hanoi in the cold winter.

As long as the Hanoi army is stationed in Chaoge City, it will be safe and sound.
