Chapter 1108 Mountain City (Part 1)
Today is a good weather, with bright sunshine and shimmering on the river.
But don't get me wrong, this is not a place to travel by boat, but a cruel battlefield.
Of course, the battlefield is so big, there are always more leisurely people, such as on the south bank of the Yangtze River or the south mountain (now Cengong Mountain) on the east bank, a group of Jin soldiers looked at the battlefield on the other side and cheered loudly - the Yangtze River turned a corner here, and it was headed southwest and northeast, so it can be called the "south bank" or the "east bank".
These soldiers were also soldiers of Nanpu County, but in the south part of the county, they were unwilling to surrender with Yuqiu Ao and only protected the border, so they actually sat aside and watched the battle.
They cheered just now because a Chengguo ship accidentally touched the Shilong and sank directly - the Shilong is a reef located in the west of Nanpu City near the river bank. It did not come out in summer and blocked the river.
After Chengguo's ships capsized, the navy soldiers shouted, and the surrounding ships hurriedly approached and fished them up.
The water is cold in winter. If you don’t rescue it in time after falling into the water, you will suffer a serious illness even if you don’t die.
But how could the Jin soldiers care about the life and death of the Shu people? Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the Shu soldiers, they laughed loudly until an officer came over and scolded him loudly.
The officer was not sympathizing with the Shu people. He was worried that he would laugh too hard, which would make Cheng Thief angry and angry, so he turned directly to attack them.
In his eyes, the scale of the Chengguo Navy on the river near Nanpu was quite astonishing.
Based on Nanpu, there are more than a hundred national ships moored on the "Xinniang Beach" ten miles upstream of the river. There are few warships, most of which are grain ships - Xinniang Beach. The sandbank in the river is named after the face of a woman in the cliff on the north bank. There are a small amount of farmland and woods on the sandbank, and a Goddess Hall is built.
There is the "Sheep Intestine Tiger Arm Beach" in the Erli River in Nanpudong. This is also a sandbank, with weeds on the beach and bamboos and woods hidden. This will be one of the gathering places of the Navy in Chengguo, with more than a hundred ships of all sizes.
These more than 200 ships are mostly troop and grain transport ships, and there are fewer warships, but if they laugh at them too hard and they kill them regardless of the situation, wouldn’t they cause fire?
The Liang people and adult dogs are just biting dogs, but the Jin people can just watch the show, so what if they don’t care.
At this time, there were fierce shouts of killing sounds on the other side.
The soldiers of Jin looked at each other and saw more than 3,000 attacks from the south and west sides of the city. The defenders at the city wall also shouted that they were fighting fiercely. They were not good at martial arts and were not very good at commanding, so they let go and handed it over to the county military academy, and stood on the city wall and personally beat the drums to cheer.
The two sides fought fiercely on the city and under the city, and the corpses fell like rain in the air, which made the Jin soldiers very scared.
Someone opened his mouth wide and murmured, "If Wei Qiu Yi had such blood, if Wei Qiu Duke had dispersed all his family wealth early, we could surrender, why did we surrender?"
"What Wei Qiu Duke? Wei Qiu Ao's thief!" Someone said, "Huao's family wealth will not be dispersed for the Great Jin Dynasty, and Wei Qiu Yi's blood will not be dispersed for the Great Jin Dynasty. If he did not surrender to Liang, he would come and would only run away and would not fight to the death."
Everyone was speechless.
"It is purely a dream to attack a city guarded by more than 3,000 more soldiers." Some people do not care about the destruction between Liang and Jincheng and only judge from a military perspective: "If you cannot invest tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at once, attack from all sides or surround three quarries and one, the city will not be able to take down."
More than 10,000 soldiers and horses are put into siege at one time, and the effect is different from the attack of more than 3,000 people in three batches, each batch.
The former may cause the defenders to be in a hurry and have flaws.
The latter is a tactic of adding fuel to the oil. The defenders can deal with it calmly, because the attacking side cannot expand its troops and the number of people cannot be exerted. They can only rely on wheel battles to gain a physical advantage.
In the eyes of these Jin soldiers, Chengguo probably cannot take the city, because there are only two directions that can be attacked in the south and west of the city, and it cannot expand its troops. As long as the defenders do not make unforgivable mistakes, God knows how long it will take to fight.
But he probably was unwilling to accept the thief, because they took it last time, and the casualties were minimal and they were almost unresisted. This time, you resisted so resolutely, it was a bit difficult for them to accept.
A word, you have to continue bleeding. "Defeated! Defeated!" I don't know how long it took, but the Jin army watching the battle on the south bank shouted loudly regardless of the officer's scolding.
The army on the north bank had already been unfavorable to attack the city, and suffered heavy casualties. Hearing the "defeated" from the wind, he suddenly leaked out in one breath, collapsed, and fled to the riverside for a noisy moment.
"Haha!" Jin Jun burst into laughter. "I can't defeat Nanpu. Next time the Liang people will station their troops here and attack Chengdu." Someone said sarcastic words.
"Just go west from Nanpu and just go by land. My uncle did business during his lifetime, saying that Nanpu is moving upward, and the river flows south of the river is bow-shaped and is very far away. It is better to go by land."
"When Liu Xuande entered Shu, he will go by now."
"I became a thief when I was killed! My family escaped from Shu, and became a thief without human affairs."
"He is angry and is about to attack." Someone suddenly shouted.
For a moment, loud curses came one after another.
The Jin soldiers who were still talking sarcastic words just now all catching swords with armor and tying bows and arrows.
Are you crazy? You can fight with the Liang people, what should you do to attack us?
At this time, laughter came faintly from the head of Nanpu, Jiangbei...
*******
Another battlefield in Badong is in Yufu County, which is the capital of Badong County.
Liang Jun is divided into two parts.
A group consists of hundreds of soldiers from the right cavalry guards, as well as the troops and barbarians of Wuqiu Ao. It has about a thousand people guarding Baidi City, and is commanded by Wuqiu Ao himself.
There are about 3,000 people, mainly soldiers from Jiangling County and Jingzhou, and are basically from the five counties in Nanyang. They were once the "Lejia Army" guarding Yufu County.
Both cities have high terrain.
Baidi City is on Baidi Mountain (now thirteen miles east of Fengjie), and is the ancient city of Han Yufu. It is very small, with only 200 or more steps around the city. Gongsun Shu changed his name to Baidi City.
There is Chijiao Mountain in two miles east of Baidi Mountain (now fifteen miles east of Fengjie). On the mountain is Yufu County Town, which is more than seven miles away, which is much larger than Baidi City, so it is the county seat. The two cities are only two miles apart, with the north and south being connected to each other and corners. Most of the people of Yufu County are located in the west of the city and are connected to Baidi City to the west.
And a road extends from the middle of this residential and commercial area, called "Maling Road" by the natives, was dug up and down, with a huge drop, and it reaches the riverside wharf.
At this time, the dock had been occupied by the army.
But they face the same problem in Nanpu and the troops cannot be expanded.
There is no difference between 100,000 people coming and 10,000 people coming. Only more than a thousand people in front can fight.
The last time they attacked Yufu, they suffered a lot in this regard. This time it was even more miserable because the Liang people didn't even give up the road to the mountain and rushed around the hillside and sagittal road. They had to be unable to resist it, so they retreated.
It has been more than half a month since the attack and killing, and the army has not even been able to completely occupy this mountain road. After every hard battle, I looked up and looked at the two cities of Yufu and Baidi, which were towering in the north and were almost in the clouds. I was inevitably discouraged.
It is the 25th day of the first lunar month, and Li Yue, the general in charge of command, had to change his strategy and let the navy land at the Dalun River.
There is the Yong'an Palace City (now Fengjie) west of the sky, built by Liu Bei, and there are no soldiers to guard it now, so it is obviously abandoned.
Cheng Jun planned to build camps in this relatively flat area, station a large army, and then detour Yufu and Baidi City to attack each other, so as to avoid the possibility of continuing to fight the Liang people on the mountain road. The last time he came, it was obviously not so difficult to fight. When the Liang people came, the situation changed dramatically, which made Li Yue extremely uncomfortable.
After the order was given, Cheng Jun immediately took action.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
On the 26th, boats gathered near the beach in the south river of Yong'an Palace.
Li Yue's troops will continue to attack the mountain road and command the naval and land soldiers to land.
The summer and winter are not released in the river. At this moment, it is dry water. Zhuge's ancient lane appears on the island, and there is even the legendary Eight Formation Map, but Li Yue has no interest at all and lives directly in Liu Bei's Yong'an Palace.
This place is more than ten miles away from Yufu and Baidi. As he fought, it became farther and farther away from the battlefield, which made Li Yue feel unlucky.
But this is Bashu!
The fish is facing the river in the east, with a wall of more than 200 feet, a river in the southwest, and a thousand feet high in the northwest. When the weather is bad, it looks like a city in the clouds, which is not an exaggeration at all. People at that time even described it as "dazzling".
Attacking such a city, there are only two words: climbing a mountain!
On the 27th, just as Li Yue recruited a large number of soldiers to repair the Yong'an Palace City and camp, a navy quietly appeared on the downstream river.
On the land in the north of the Yangtze River, the big flag of the character "Shao" is flying in the wind.
Fu An, a Di native, acted as a pioneer and walked through the mountains more than ten miles north of Yufu and Baidi. On the 27th, he arrived at Changji, a place name, located in the west of Yufu and east of Yong'an Palace. The terrain was flat and there was the fourteenth salt spring. During the Han Dynasty, there was Jingyanguan Tongli.
Fu An brought thousands of cavalry and set out from Yidu. He either climbed mountains or walked on the plank road. Now there are about 700 cavalry left to use - the rest have become infantry.
After seeing the sudden enlightenment in front of him, he spat hard.
Fuck, I finally saw the flat ground!
Some soldiers have come to Changchi and are repairing the Jingyan Office as a forward relay.
It was almost evening and it was getting dark. Everyone was busy for a long time and was already exhausted.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded near the mountain pass in the northeast direction.
Everyone was shocked.
Some peasants from Shu were still confused and didn't know what had happened, but the officers who went south from Guanzhong changed their faces.
Others don’t know, they don’t understand either?
Your mother! Where did the brigade of cavalry come from?
There was the Di Qiang Military Academy, who lay down on the ground, listened carefully, and said, "There may be thousands of cavalry, even if they are not enough, they will not be far away."
The Shu people were still a little stunned, but the officers were already anxious and immediately sent people to beat drums to gather troops. At the same time, he secretly scolded the scouts how they did it, so that the enemy cavalry could touch them and didn't know.
But it may be too late.
The figures of cavalry in the northeast have gradually appeared.
The more than a hundred riders who rushed in front were wearing iron armor and holding thick and long horse lances, and rushed over like a wall.
More than 200 cavalrymen arrived first, and they passed the iron armored cavalry lightly and detoured to both sides.
In the dim light, the light cavalry quickly circled to both sides of the army like a ghost.
The sound of bowstrings continued, and the sound of sad screams continued.
And this seemed to be a signal, hundreds of soldiers were blown up directly. After working hard for a day, they were unwilling to fight. When they saw the brigade of cavalry rushing towards them, they were extremely frightened, running around like headless flies.
The Di people's light cavalry were also a little shocked.
Thinking about the light cavalry who were sent out to harass Liang's infantry in Hongnong, everyone was sad because it was difficult to shake their own positions and could even be shot into a hedgehog by the arch of the arch.
These soldiers in front of me are really...
The iron-armored cavalry rushed over like a whirlwind, rushing the already messy soldiers to pieces, and there was no possibility of gathering them again.
The battle had almost no suspense and stopped after nightfall.
Fu An was too lazy to count as beheading, so he directly ordered the production of simple torches, and he wanted to advance west overnight.
