The last three kingdoms

Chapter 802 Battle of Cold Mountain Fortress
After determining the next plan and strategy, the Shu army immediately took action. The Huns' "prison tactics" had just entered the stage of implementation. The general defense system is still far behind, which undoubtedly gave the Shu army a chance to break through its favorite.

Around Guyuan, there are as many as a dozen new pass fortresses, each of which needs to be stationed separately. Although Liu Yuan has more than [-] troops and is aggressive, the real troops allocated to the various fortresses are very small. Land is limited, even stretched.

Defensive circles were arranged around Guyuan, and the battle line stretched for hundreds of miles. If it was the Pingchuan area, Liu Yuan did not dare to expect to be able to encircle it. That is to say, the Shangdang area is narrow, and there are only a few lines between the mountains. The passable road made the "prison plan" of the Huns come true.

Even so, each pass fortress can only station three or two thousand troops. If there are more, Liu Yuan will really not be able to dispatch them. Among the [-] troops, Liu Yuan must ensure that there is a sufficient number of field troops. Counties such as Chengcheng, Tunliu, Changzi, Xiangyuan, and Gaodu also need to send troops to garrison them. Compared with the vast Shangdang County, a [-] army is really nothing.

Therefore, when Liu Yin decided to concentrate his forces and devote a little bit of force to break through, the Shu army could completely gain the upper hand, and no matter which point the Shu army chose, it was the same.

Liu Yin set his sights on the Hanshan Mountain between Tunliu and the eldest son. The Hanshan Passage is an important passage in the south of Shangdang, connecting the east and west parts of the Shangdang. As long as the Shu army can open the Zhaishan Passage, they can enter the designated destination.

Now the Hanshan Pass Fortress is under construction, and the Huns sent 3000 horses to garrison Hanshan to prevent the Shu army from fleeing eastward. The most important part of the "cage tactics" system.

Although the terrain of the Hanshan Fortress is difficult, its camps have just begun to be built and have not yet been repaired. Although the Huns drove a large number of Han people to build the Hanshan Fortress for labor, digging mountains and quarrying stones, carrying soil and sand, and overhauling the fortifications, the progress of the project was slow. It is difficult to complete in a short time.

Not only this part of the Hanshan Fortress, but also all the pass fortresses have problems of one kind or another. The most serious problem for Liu Yuan is the shortage of labor. Due to the massacres of Jie people in Shangdang, the number of Han people in the The number has decreased sharply. Now Liu Yuan recruits the Han people for labor. Even if he has been using coercive means to force the Han people to do hard work and build fortresses in various places, the number of laborers will be limited. The pass fortress has been far away from its successful construction.

Therefore, Liu Yuan could only temporarily piece together some troops and station them in and around the fortress to prevent the Shu army from taking the opportunity to break through.

At the same time, Liu Yuan also knew that the force stationed in Hanshan was relatively weak, so he maintained an army of tens of thousands of troops between Shangdang and Tunliu cities, and could reinforce Hanshan and the nearby passes at any time to prevent the attack. The penetration of the Shu army to the east.

For Liu Yin, if he wanted to break through the Hanshan Fortress, he had to make preparations in advance and not let the Huns be aware of it. He had to fight quickly and win Hanshan before the Huns reacted.

In order to achieve this goal, when the Shu army moved to Hanshan, it completely stopped and marched quietly. When the Shu army moved to a place ten miles away from the Hanshan fortress, the Huns were unaware.

Climbing to the high mountain in front of Hanshan, Liu Yin can see the situation on the Hanshan side clearly. The mountain road winds like a long cloth belt, and at the end of the cloth belt, you can see countless people busy , due to the distance, these people look like ants, so small that they are almost just black spots.

The Hanshan Fortress has already begun to take shape. Looking from Liu Yin's side, the barracks are connected and orderly. Once the fortress is completed, this passage can indeed be sealed off.

"Attack!" Liu Yin solemnly gave the order to fight.

Under the leadership of Gao Yuandi, the generals of the Shu Army launched an attack on the Hanshan Fortress.

Guarding the fortress of Hanshan is Luta, one of Liu Yuan's generals. He is black and strong, just like a black tower. It is said that Luta can at least rank in the top ten among the generals of the Huns, and he is proficient in bow and horse. Have unstoppable courage.

Liu Yuan didn't dare to rely on Jie people for several defensive points, but sent his cronies to lead troops to garrison. Luta was also a general trusted by Liu Yuan, so he was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Yuan.

Luta holds several positions. Since he led the troops to guard the Hanshan pass and supervised labor to build the Hanshan fortress, the construction of the fortress was very slow due to the insufficient number of Han Chinese laborers and the high intensity of work. Furious, he personally supervised the servants to work on the Cold Mountain Fortress.

The fate of these Han Chinese laborers is very miserable. The nearly seven or eight hours of labor every day almost exhausted their physical strength. Even so, Luta still felt that the progress of the project was slow, so he kept using the whip to greet the Han Chinese laborers. All the Han servants who passed by Luta's back were covered with bright red welts without exception.

Mining rocks is a high-intensity labor in itself, and the Han laborers worked so hard day and night, and those who can persist are already good hands. Many Han laborers who couldn't bear it, mostly vomited blood and died of exhaustion.

But Luta doesn't care, every time a Han dies, he will drag his body out like a dead dog. In Luta's eyes, the Han has no status at all, they are a group of slaves, Luta wants You can deal with whatever you want, as long as Luta is happy, killing a few Han people is a matter of convenience.

Today, Luta also saw that the two Han people were not pleasing to the eye. As soon as they relaxed, Luta's leather whip came over and beat them to pieces. Luta scolded while beating: "These lazy guys, really deserve to die! "

But before Luta had time to intensify the punishment, a Hun soldier hurriedly reported to him: "General Qi, something is wrong, the Shu people... the Shu people are attacking!"

Luta was taken aback, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but gasped. Sure enough, in front of the Hanshan pass, the Shu army had already come all over the mountains and plains.
