Linjiang is the gateway of Badong, guarding the Yangtze River, the terrain is dangerous, like a dragon entrenched in a tiger, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Xu Huang took Qi Guoyuan and Meng Liang to raise 15,000 troops, and attacked for two days without finding anything, and Linjiang City still stood like an iron wall on the throat road to Chengdu in the west.
After Liu Wei finished pacifying the people in the White Emperor City, he took Sun Bin and Chen Ping to lead 15,000 troops and went straight to the front line of Linjiang to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.
As far as the eye can see, the surrounding mountains are continuous, the mountains are cuiwei, Linjiang City is firmly embedded in the road to Bashu in the west like a nail household, if you want to advance into Chengdu, you must pull out the nail on the throat road.
If there are ships, they can spare the Linjiang River by taking the waterway along the Yangtze River, but then they will hand over the rear to the enemy, and the grain and grass supply routes, and the retreat routes will be cut off, which is equivalent to plunging headlong into the enemy's pocket, which is a taboo for soldiers.
Liu Wei has experienced a hundred battles, and is assisted by Chen Ping, Sun Bin and other strategists, so naturally he will not make such a mistake.
There are Shu generals in the city Liu Yu led 6,000 soldiers to defend, if Liu Wei is ruthless to attack, it is not too difficult to break through Linjiang.
However, Liu Wei did not want to pay too much price for casualties, if it was just such a small level, he would have to pay seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands of casualties, and he would not be able to talk about dominating the world in the future "So we must take Linjiang and not pay too many casualties," Liu Wei said to the civil and military forces in the imperial tent.
"The mountains around Linjiang are continuous, but you can use Kong Ming lanterns to launch air raids.
It's a pity that Kong Ming is not here, no one will look at the weather, don't know when the wind will blow, and can't judge the direction of the wind.
Otherwise, it would be easy to break through the Linjiang River, and our army would not lose many soldiers and horses. ” Xu Huang had seen the power of Kong Ming lanterns when he was in Jiaozhou, and he remembered it vividly.
After two consecutive days of strong attack, about 2,000 soldiers were lost, which made Xu Huang feel depressed, and he only hated that he didn't have Zhuge Liang's ability, otherwise he would not have sacrificed the lives of so many soldiers in vain.
Even if Xu Huang didn't say it, Liu Wei also thought of a way to use Kong Ming lanterns to attack Linjiang, and asked Chen Ping with a frown: "Chen Qing, how many Kong Ming lanterns did our army carry when they set off from Jinling this time?"
Due to the huge strategic value of Kong Ming's lantern, it has been ordered by Liu Wei to be popularized and used in the whole army, and the Zhuge crossbow has become a powerful weapon of the Eastern Han army.
But because of the complex manufacturing process, the annual output is not large, even if the Jinling Military Factory is under the personal supervision of Xu Guangqi, it can only make 2,000 Kong Ming lanterns and 10,000 Zhuge repeaters in a year.
Moreover, it had to be distributed to various legions, so even the troops under the personal command of Liu Wei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not have much equipment.
When Chen Ping heard this, he said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, our army went to Bashu this time, and carried a total of 400 Kong Ming lanterns and 1,500 Yuan Rong crossbows with the army. ” Without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, Sun Bin had an idea: "Since we can't accurately predict the direction of the wind like Kong Ming, we will simply send a hundred soldiers on the mountains around Linjiang, carry Kong Ming lanterns and Yuanrong crossbows to wait on the mountains, and attack Linjiang when the wind blows, kill and injure the defenders on the city wall, and cover the siege of the city." ” Liu Wei nodded: "That's exactly what I mean, so it's decided."
Immediately sent Meng Liang and Qi Guoyuan to lead two hundred paratroopers each, according to the east, south, west, and north four directions to find the mountain, just waiting for the strong wind, then fly to the head of Linjiang City with Kong Ming lantern, shoot the defenders on the city wall with Zhuge crossbow, and cover the main army to attack the city.
Qi Guoyuan and Meng Liang were restless by nature, full of interest in new things, and after returning to Jinling last year, they had nothing to do, and coincidentally developed a strong interest in Kong Ming lanterns.
In his spare time, as long as the wind blows, he takes Kong Ming lanterns to look for the hillside to fly, and he can fly freely in the air, so Liu Wei appointed the two to lead the paratroopers to attack Linjiang.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter where the wind blows, our brothers will shoot the defenders on the head of Linjiang City into hedgehogs" After receiving the order, the brothers Qi Guoyuan and Meng Liang were overjoyed, patting their chests and boasting about Haikou.
Liu Wei warned: "The mountains around Linjiang are stretched, uneven, and the Yangtze River is turbulent.
Releasing Kong Ming lanterns here is no better than practicing on the plains of Jinling, and the two generals must not be careless, lest the paratrooper soldiers die in vain.
Be sure to grasp the wind direction and speed before releasing the Kong Ming lantern, don't be strong."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, can you still worry about our brothers' things, or the two of us will make a military order for Your Majesty," Qi Guoyuan and Meng had a good conscience, and said in unison.
Liu Bianxin said: I really can't believe that you two are teasing, but except for the two of you, other people don't know anything about Kong Minglan.
So it's up to you to carry out this dangerous task, and if there is a mistake, don't feel distressed The wind in spring is not only strong but also dense, even if the mountains in the Bashu region are continuous, but there will be a strong wind every three or five days.
Qi Guoyuan and Meng Liang each brought two hundred paratroopers, quietly climbed the mountains around Linjiang according to different directions, and were ready to go, just waiting for the strong wind to blow, then released Kong Ming lanterns and attacked Linjiang City.
In order to paralyze the defenders in the city, Liu Wei sent Xu Huang to feint to attack the city every day, shouting loudly and attracting Liu Yu's attention.
At the same time, he sent Wenyang to lead 5,000 people to dig tunnels and prepare to attack the city from underground, which could affect Liu Yu's judgment and make him mistakenly think that his side was preparing to launch a tunnel war to create conditions for an air attack on Linjiang.
Second, if you can't wait for the right wind direction and speed, and can't attack Linjiang, you will pretend to do it, cooperate with the troops on the ground from the tunnel, and attack the city together, so that the defenders in the city will be tired to deal with it.
Liu Yu saw his beard in the city and laughed: "Haha, everyone in the world blows Liu Wei to the gods, but that's it, there is nothing to be done in the face of a small Linjiang, the donkey skills are poor, and if you want to use the tunnel to break the city, there is no door."
On the one hand, Liu Yu personally defended the city, and on the other hand, he sent his deputy general to force more than 10,000 people in the city to dig a trench around the city wall.
In this way, the tunnel warfare of the Han army was in vain and in vain.
Three days later, in the middle of the night, the strong wind that Liu Wei and his subordinates had been waiting for for a long time finally blew.
The sudden northwest wind swept in the gravel, blowing the flags and hunting, so that people could not open their eyes.
Meng Liang sent people down the mountain to inform Liu Wei that he was about to lead paratroopers to attack Linjiang and asked the army to prepare for the siege in advance.
"The whole army is ready to attack the city" Liu Wei was blocked by Liu Yu for seven or eight days in Linjiang, and the Han army had already held their breath, Liu Wei put on his helmet and hung his armor, chased the wind and white phoenix under his crotch, and carried a variety of dragon soul guns, ready to personally supervise and lead the army to attack the city.
Xu Huang, Yuwen Chengdu, Wen Yang and other generals were also fully clothed, and each led 8,000 elites to quietly gather in front of the Zhaizha Gate, just waiting for Meng Liang to blow the horn, and then attack the city together in the sky and on the ground.
An hour later, the sky was slightly bright, Meng Liang led more than 100 paratroopers under the influence of the northwest wind, ignited pine resin to make hot air, slowly raised the Kong Ming lantern, held the Yuan Rong crossbow, and flew towards Linjiang City.
"Oh, we also waited on the mountain for three days, but we could only watch Meng Liang make meritorious contributions, it's not fair, it's not fair."
For the past three days, Meng Liang has been leading his troops to hide on the mountain northwest of Linjiang City, and finally fortunately waited for the northwest wind.
And Qi Guoyuan, who has been staying in the southwest, is bitter and complains about God's injustice.
Hearing the horn sounding, Qi Guoyuan knew that it was the siege signal sent by Meng Liang to the ground troops, and he was even more anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, like sitting on pins and needles, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said: "No matter, let's also release the lanterns, air raid Linjiang, my divine power is invincible, the world is invincible, and the general of Beizhen, Nanandong, Pingxi, can't lose to Xiaoliangzi."
Under Qi Guoyuan's reprimand, these paratroopers could only forcibly release Kong Ming lanterns, trying to fly over Linjiang City against the wind.

Just flew out of the hillside, it was blown away by the northwest wind in the southeast direction, and it was a mess for a while.
Compared with Qi Guoyuan, who commanded blindly, more than 100 paratroopers led by Meng Liang flew smoothly to the sky above Linjiang City with the northwest wind, and used Zhuge Lian's crossbow to launch a condescending burst shot at the defenders on the city wall, pouring a rain of arrows like beads, and the defenders were in chaos and dodged in all directions.
The main Han army under the city took the opportunity to launch a strong attack, and Yuwen Chengdu took the lead in carrying a gold boring, and was the first to climb the city wall, smash the iron cable, and put down the drawbridge.
The tiger and tiger who wielded more than 100 catties of gilded boring were angry, and the defenders on the head of the city were flying with flesh and blood, and the heads were rolling.
Wen Yang was also not to be outdone, carrying a spear, leading more than 100 soldiers to die first, following the pace of Yuwen Chengdu to board the Linjiang city wall, the defenders who killed could not resist, and they ran away.
Just as the Wen brothers were climbing the city wall, Xu Huang also led the siege cone to break open the east gate of Linjiang City, leading the tide of troops to rush across the moat and occupy this choke point.
Liu Wei galloped in the chaotic army, chopping melons and chopping vegetables, and in less than half an hour, he had more than 170 people, "Lao Tzu also has a basic force value of 98, what is there to be afraid of in the face of these scumbags" A shout suddenly sounded in the streets: "Liu Yu has escaped from the West Gate, chase after him."
Liu Wei didn't think much about it, relying on his crotch to chase the wind and the white phoenix is a peerless horse, urging the horse to chase the gun to the west gate, frightening hundreds of royal forest soldiers like a great enemy, and followed behind from a distance and reminded loudly: "Your Majesty must not rush forward, and the body of ten thousand gold must not be in danger" Liu Wei ignored it, but with a stick of incense, he caught up with Liu Su, who was desperately fleeing, this guy was still laughing proudly at himself on the city wall a few days ago, and Liu Wei remembered this vividly.
The two horses were parallel, and Liu Wei did not answer, and when a shot was stabbed, Liu Yu's chest was squeezed into a transparent hole, and he fell off the horse and was killed on the spot.
"The Dingdong host killed the enemy general again in seconds after Jiangling first ascended the city wall, the basic force is permanent 1, rising to 99, chasing the wind white phoenix 1, the dragon soul gun of the hundred changes is 1, the current force has changed to 101, which has caused a second explosion, and five people will be born randomly." t1706231537:
