{Thank you friend hahahehuhu, friend book friend 161219200000574, friend fygang and friend endless monthly pass, friend Tianya's two monthly pass} "Oh" Hearing this, Yang Yan was surprised: "Is there anything wrong with taking Wuguan Road?"
Lu Huizhi nodded and said: "Wuguan chokes the friendship of Qin and Chu, according to the danger of mountains and rivers, the road to Nanyang and the east moves, and the right danger of entering Lantian and Guan, and there is Wuguan to close Qinzhong, Xiangyun Jianghuai Road is not passable, so heavy, Liu Yao must be guarded with heavy troops."
As far as the concubine knows, the terrain of Wuguan Guanxi is flat, only out of the east of the Guan, stretching the mountainside and winding through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, so Liu Yao can arrange a large army behind the pass, and the front of the pass is limited by the terrain, it is difficult to invest troops, there are four ridges in the east of the city, the ridges and ridges protect each other, especially the suspension bridge ridge is high and steep, go up the mountain together, do not allow to ride together, for the largest shield of Wuguan, I am afraid that the artillery is difficult to transport up the mountain, purely by manpower attack, Yang Jialangjun can be sure to overcome" Yang Yan was moved, and looked at Lu Huizhi with a burning gaze, his face full of disbelief.
Lu Huizhi felt a faint sense of shame in her heart, and half lowered her head, she felt that this was the right way to communicate with Yang Yan, she was not willing to unilaterally obtain Yang Yan's care and care, but should communicate with each other, and the time to hand over herself is naturally strong in the depths.
"Ahem" Lian Xiang was also happy for Lu Huizhi, and coughed lightly.
Yang Yan smiled at this time: "Lady Huizhi, you have never been to Wuguan, how can you know so much about Wuguan" Lu Huizhi said angrily: "Although the concubine has not been there, she has many notes from her predecessors to read, compare with each other, and can outline the general appearance of Wuguan, of course, the specific terrain concubine does not know, and it must be confirmed by on-site survey." ” Yang Yan felt ashamed again, his knowledge system was definitely more complete than Lu Huizhi's, why had he never thought of combining it Lu Huizhi seemed to guess Yang Yan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The concubine is just idle and bored, so she thinks nonsense, Yang Jialangjun is a person who does big things, just don't make mistakes, and the following things are done by the people below." “ Yang Yan shook his head and asked, "What Lady Hui Zhi said is also that it is difficult to break through the Wuguan Pass if you attack only by land, and I don't know if there is a good strategy."
Lu Huizhi said: "I don't dare to say a good policy, but the concubine thinks that Yang Jialangjun can consider the waterway, Wuguan is leaning on the rock cliff in the north, bordering the stream in the south, the river is surrounded by east, west and south, the city site is out of the center of the river, Danshui surrounds Wuguan, traces Danshui from the water, and advances by land and water, and can attack Wuguan from three sides, or it is possible to break through the pass." “ Danshui is now known as Danjiang, the famous Danjiangkou Reservoir is located at the junction of the Danjiang River into the Hanjiang River, it is also the west line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the main stream of Danshui is 390 kilometers long, the natural drop is 1400 meters, the water flow is turbulent, but there are many shoals, the runoff of the wet season and the dry season varies greatly, so it is difficult to ship in Danshui, and because of the reason of hurry, it is impossible to survey the hydrology in advance.
As far as Yang Yan knows, the topography of Danshui at that time is very different from the Danjiang River in later generations, most of them pass through the steep banks of the canyon, the riverbed is more dangerous and shoal, the basin section is flat and wide and the water is slow, the higher the up, the more turbulent the water flow, compared with the modern Danjiang River, the water volume is much more abundant.
If you sail from Danshui, the big boat is obviously not good, you can only go up the water with a flat-bottomed boat, take a step by step, but the advantage is that you can carry a small steel cannon, and at the same time smokeless gunpowder is not afraid of being wet by the river, as long as the boat can drive to Wuguan, Wuguan will be broken.
Yang Yan nodded and said: "This method can be tried, I will ask people to collect ships first, and in two or three days, they will march by land and water, and go to Wuguan." ” Because the gold and silver woman was plundered by Liu Yue, the big families in Xiangyang were extremely enthusiastic, and soon collected more than 200 flat boats, and also provided dozens of guides, all of whom were local old mountain people, familiar with the terrain, Yang Yan asked the manager to lead 10,000 soldiers with good water properties, and went back to the water by boat, and personally received 20,000 yuan, and took the Wuguan Road by land, leaving Li Huai to temporarily garrison Xiangyang, and summoned Yu Yaohe to no longer harass Liu Yao, and immediately returned and went to Wuguan to meet him.
Three days later, the army split into two routes.
Although the mileage by land and water is about the same, it is faster by land because of the difficulty of Dan water.
The Ming army marched through the Wudang Mountains with difficulty, and after more than ten days, they entered the territory of Weixing County, and Wuguan was also close at hand.
Along the way, Yang Yan tried his best to avoid exposing his whereabouts, but when he was still dozens of miles away from Guancheng, he finally had to set foot on the Wuguan Road, and he didn't even have a guide, because there were lofty mountains and mountains all around, and only a mountain path stretched along the mountainside.
There are Qianniuwei reporting the terrain of Wuguan, in front of the city, there are two stone castles on the left and one on the right sandwiched the road, almost impregnable, Yang Yan couldn't help but twist his eyebrows slightly, looking at the hazy shadow of the mountain, it was the height of summer, insects and cicadas were chirping, lush, one mountain after another, it seemed that there was no end.
Lu Huizhi and Lian Xiang were also dressed in military uniforms, looking at the valley, only to feel that their hearts were unusually open-minded, but they were far away from Yang Yan, mainly because they came for more than ten days, sweating profusely every day, unable to take a bath, and even they couldn't bear it, they always felt that there was a smell on their bodies, for fear of smoking Yang Yan.
Liu Lanzi didn't care, next to Yang Yan's side, looked at the telescope for a while, and said: "King, the cliff on the east side of Wuguan is high and the valley is deep, you look at the mountain road in front of you, it is indeed only allowed to ride a bicycle away, and then look at the mountain in the distance, there is a beacon, and it is not easy to take it by force."
Lu Huizhi furrowed her brows tightly, she couldn't understand how Qin Shi Huang's car could pass through such a narrow mountain road Yang Yan didn't understand, at this time, Lian Xiang suddenly sighed softly: "Why didn't I see a caravan all the way?"
After all, caravans can bring goods from afar, such as Cistanche in Mobei, which is an indispensable rare medicinal material for the elites in Jiangnan.
Moreover, in troubled times, those who dare to do business must have great forces behind them, even if they are in a state of hostility, but the hostile is the country, not the family, and usually no one is willing to form a personal enmity with other families.
After all, if you make a feud because of public affairs, you can get a good name, and if you make a feud because of personal interests, you will destroy the clan.
The most typical example is Diao Xie, Diao Xie presided over the land break, there were countless sinners, almost all the surnames of Wu Qiao were offended, and then he worked for Yang Yan, and was in a state of hostility with the Jiangdong court, but his heir's family was good in Jiankang, no one made things difficult, in the final analysis, it was a public feud and did not involve personal grievances.
Lian Xiang's words reminded Liang Zhi, the former general of Li Ju's department, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Wang, what Madame said is very true, there are no merchants, we can pretend to be ourselves, change into civilian clothes, bring two or three hundred people and cars, as long as you enter any of the two stone forts in front of the pass, choke the gate, block on the spot, cast wolf smoke and invite the army to come to help, if you can hold on for half a day, it will not be a problem to break a stone fort."
Then attack the other one with all your might, if the two stone forts are in hand, you can attack and retreat, and you can be invincible first."
"Hmm" Yang Yan's eyes lit up, Liang Zhi said, although the soldiers are dangerous, but there may not be no possibility of a try, the key is that the road is too narrow, only one ride is allowed to pass, the open space in front of the two stone forts is also limited, more than a dozen people are crowded, the army can not be used, so it is particularly important to break through one of the stone forts, you can arrange troops, suppress the other one with crossbow arrows and artillery fire, and it will be effortless to capture.
Of course, the main thing is that it is actually difficult to sneak attack, on the mountain road of dozens of miles, there is a beacon on both sides of the mountain every few miles, and the grandiose attack can only tell Zhao Jun that I am coming, so that the other party can prepare in advance.
Seeing Yang Yan's expression, Liang Zhi's confidence increased greatly, and he said: "King, the last general is willing to lead two hundred soldiers to seize the stone fort."
After a little hesitation, Yang Yan nodded and said: "Good steel is used on the blade, and two hundred people from the left and right Qianniuwei will be given to you, be careful, don't do anything, retreat immediately, and never attack." ” "No" Liang Zhi had seen the strength of Qianniuwei, and immediately made up his mind and took the order to leave.
After a while, Liang Zhi led two hundred people, and dozens of other cars, loaded some food and cloth as cover, and slowly moved forward.
The army rested on the spot and ate by the way, and some soldiers brought water from the mountain stream at the bottom of the valley and ignited the dynamite sticks to heat it.
Due to the continuous mining of pyrite, more and more sulfuric acid is produced, and then nitric acid is produced through sulfuric acid, resulting in the production scale of smokeless gunpowder is also expanding day by day, and the cost is getting lower and lower.
About a gunpowder stick can continue to burn for more than half an hour, and it is also light in weight and easy to carry, which is much more convenient than any firewood and coal, and has won unanimous praise in the army.
Of course, there is also a strict management and registration system for smokeless gunpowder, and it is absolutely forbidden to go to the people 。
