{Thank you to my friend for stealing vegetables and my friend Three Gorges Farmer's monthly pass} The water in the pot gradually boils, remove a thin layer of white foam on the surface, pour in the fried noodles, add sugar, and then stir into a paste, the sweet wheat aroma, both delicious and full, simple is simpler, but this is not a meal, just a meal on the march.
The whole army welcomed this kind of extra meal, enjoyed it beautifully, and then crowded in the shade of the tree, resting as much as possible, even Lu Huizhi and Lian Xiang, after wiping the corners of their mouths, couldn't bear it anymore, snuggled up to each other, and fell asleep.
Afternoons can always be sleepy.
Liang Zhi entered the mountain in the morning, waiting left and right, and did not see the wolf smoke rising, Yang Yan gradually rose a trace of bad premonition in his heart, close to the evening, some figures appeared at the entrance of the mountain road, and when he looked closely, it was Liang Zhi and a group of Qianniu guards, some of them were still injured, and all the horses and horses were missing, this did not need to be thought, it must be a failure of the operation.
The group walked dejectedly, and Liang Zhi said with a guilty face: "The king, the last general is incompetent and failed to capture the stone castle, please punish the king."
"Oh what's going on" Yang Yan asked.
"That's right" With the story, everyone understood the reason, strictly speaking, it is no wonder that Liang Zhi and Qianniuwei, it is really the defense of Wuguan is impeccable, there is a stone fort in front of the pass, the vehicle must be routinely inspected by the stone fort, according to Liang Zhi's expectation, it is the moment Zhao Jun opens the door to rush in, take a surprise, and build internal and external fortifications according to the vehicle.
Qianniuwei is a block of ten, even women can not be underestimated, Liang Zhi is still very confident, because the stone fort is built with a mountain road, the front and back are mountains, the front and right are mountains, it is difficult to transport heavy weapons such as trebuchets into the fort, only by hand-to-hand combat, it is very likely to seize one of them, and hold on until the arrival of the army.
But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Zhao Jun didn't even open the door, the two stone forts were densely covered with archers, and the bamboo baskets hung people down to check, it was obvious that the seizure of the stone fort was in the soup, and it was only an act of looking for death by forcibly rushing through the path between the forts, so they could only retreat the same way, and the horses were put on the car, and they could not be taken away, and they were thrown to Zhao Jun in vain, but fortunately, the car was filled with oil, and they were lit one by one when they retreated, and the injuries on individual people were wounded by arrows at the head of the city when they were ignited.
Liang Zhi had a look of remorse on his face, what did he do Not to mention, the carriage and horses were lost, and Qianniuwei injured a few people, among which the more fatal thing is that the whereabouts of the trip were exposed, so that Zhao Jun was prepared, thinking that the original colleagues, Guo Yu, Li Huai, Duan Xiu, etc., have successively shown their heads, each with their own appointments, and they have achieved nothing, and if there is a mistake in this file, I am afraid that this life will be over.
Liang Zhi was a little disheartened.
Yang Yan glanced at him, and said: "This battle is lost, it's not you, there is no need to blame yourself, since Liu Yue dared to rob the goods and women to escape, there must also be the intention of luring our army into the Wuguan, and use the terrain to choose the opportunity to set up an ambush, how can he not pay attention to it and wait, the land route is not passable, there is still a waterway, it really can't be done, let's blow up the mountain and open the way, I don't believe that we can't break the Wuguan." ” Yang Yan's fearless attitude infected Liang Zhi, and a fighting spirit arose, and he immediately said: "The lesson of the king is that if there is a war in the future, the last general is willing to take the lead and cut the flag for the king."
Yang Yan smiled and patted Liang Zhi on the shoulder.
Liang Zhi suddenly felt a burst of excitement Wuguan, stand on the city of Guancheng and look to the east, the mountains are one after another, a sheep intestine trail leads to the front of the pass, although it is not a horse Pingchuan to the west, but the terrain is obviously open, because the city is narrow, there are not too many soldiers and horses stationed, so after the pass, along the road, there is a row of camp tents.
In fact, it is not that you will be able to enter Guanzhong if you take Wuguan, from Wuguan to Lantian in the west, there is also a pass, this is the real gateway to Guanzhong, out of the pass, it is the endless Guanzhong Plain, through the Ba Shang {Bailuyuan}, it is Chang'an, from the pass to Chang'an, only fifty miles.
Therefore, it can be said that after breaking the pass, Chang'an will be completely unsafe, but compared with Wuguan, the pass is only built on the mountain, which is not too steep, and the difficulty of attacking is relatively easy.
And around Wuguan, is the turbulent Danshui, there is a suspension bridge to connect with the outside world, the entire Guancheng, almost impregnable.
Liu Yue and Hu Yanmo stood in Guancheng, both looking at the surging Dan water with their hands down.
Liu Yue is the younger brother of Liu Yao, who has repeatedly made military exploits and was named the king of Zhongshan, so he smiled coldly: "Then Yang Yanzhi really came, heh, he tried in vain to disguise himself as a merchant to seize the stone castle, such a clumsy trick, it was a joke." ” Hu Yanmo suffered a big loss in the hands of the Ming army, Bowangpo was caught off guard, and then even Wancheng could not enter, all the way to Xiangyang like a lost dog, on the way and Liu Yin separated, and then came bad news one after another, Wancheng fell, there was an emperor to help frustrated, Liu Yin was captured back to Wancheng, in front of the emperor, humiliated to change his surname to Tu Ge.
This is obviously a drastic change in the shaking pass, Hu Yanmo knows that Liu Yao is by no means a magnanimous lord, he will find a scapegoat, and he lost Liu Yin, plus the defeat of Bo Wangpo, if he flees back to Chang'an in disgrace like this, he will be punished, and he will be dismissed as a slave at least and executed at worst.
In the Jiangdong court, the death of the head of the family due to a crime has a certain impact on the development of the family, but it is not too big, after all, there is a basic order, just like the initiator that Yang Yan often talks about, there is no aftermath Today you can kill all the other families, and other families can also destroy your family in the future, Yang Yan destroyed the door of the Yixing Zhou family, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not have much complaints, the root cause is that the three generations of the Zhou family have been destroyed for decades, and I don't know how many doors have been destroyed.
And within the Huns, there are not so many constraints, just like a wolf pack, the head wolf is dead, and other wolves will not give your little wolf a chance to grow, but beat the water dogs and eat them.
Once Hu Yanmo was condemned to death, the entire Hu Yan family would fall into a crisis, so Hu Yanmo actively sought to save himself, he persuaded Liu Yue, plundered the Xiangyang big households to abandon the city and flee, lured the Ming army to chase into Wuguan Road, or could use the terrain to annihilate it, and make up for the merits.
At this time, Hu Yanmo persuaded: "Don't despise the king, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is indeed extraordinary, especially that Yang Yanzhi, who is proficient in the art of war and serves his orders from top to bottom, otherwise in just a few years, how can he sweep the Jianghuai Central Plains The old man thinks that scouts should be sent to find out the reality of the Ming army first, and then make arrangements." “ Hmph, this old dog is shirking responsibility for himself Liu Yue snorted secretly, with a lot of hatred in his heart, in Hu Yanmo's hands, he lost 20,000 fine horses, but he did not attack, but nodded and said: "General Hu Yan is reasonable, in this way, this matter will be handed over to General Hu Yan to handle, once the reality of the Ming army is discovered, immediately send a good soldier, climb the mountain and return, cut off his way back, and catch turtles in an urn" "No" Hu Yanmo gave up, and then went to the side to make arrangements.
Before Danshui joins the water in Junxian, it is almost parallel to Wuguan Road, but due to the barrier of the mountain, Danshui can not be seen on the sheep intestine path, that is to say, the main force of the Ming army and the fleet going up the river may only be separated by a mountain, but no one on either side can see anyone.
It has been a while since the stewards led the fleet from the water to the Danshui, and this is really a desperate life.
The ship is full of people, grain and grass, arrows, and some small steel cannons and ammunition, sailing against the current, extremely difficult, especially the dangerous shoal is simply life-threatening, the dangerous shoal is turbulent because of the current, the oar can not row up at all, can only dock, along the jagged valley to pull the fiber, one by one, the action is very slow, sometimes a day can not even thirty or fifty miles, this is the most fatal march in the military career of the manager.
But he also knew the difficulty of attacking Wuguan by land, so he had great hopes for his task, constantly cheering up and encouraging the soldiers, and sometimes leading by example, personally going ashore to pull fiber, with leading generals taking the lead, and naturally morale was like a rainbow.
In the early morning of the third day when the main force of the Ming army was stationed at Qianguan, a Xiongguan appeared in front of him, and the whole army was jubilant "This, this" "Where did the ship come from?"
"Quick, the enemy is attacking, the Ming army is coming" "Boom" On the contrary, Zhao Jun was shocked when he saw the sudden arrival of boats in the river, and the rapid gong suddenly exploded The steward shouted: "Brothers, surround on three sides, and attack with all your might."
"Kill" All arrived at the pass, how can there be no reason not to be desperate, the shouting and killing sound in the sky exploded, the soldiers were desperately rowing the boats like chicken blood, not all the ships were loaded with small steel cannons, only a dozen or so larger cannons, the ammunition had already been loaded, and the banging sound was heard, and a puff of iron bullets hit the city, and the soldiers on other ships, the bows were opened, the crossbows were crossbowed, and the dense arrow rain shot over, and suddenly screamed and screamed, and a corpse was caught off guard from the head city into the river, and a ball of blood gradually stained the river red. 。
