Chapter 543: Night Raid to Harvest Grain (1)

The Marquis of Jinyang now found a similar road, which was on the sunny side of the hill south of Shuangyu Gorge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The road is not wide either, but it is okay to walk two tanks side by side.

The Marquis of Jinyang strayed into Shuangyu Gorge, firstly, he was too anxious and did not wait for the scouts to return, and the second reason was that he was blinded by the soldiers of the indulgent country.

The open city gate is Ben Shuangyu Gorge, and the city gate that is sealed is the right way, if it is not that the Marquis of Jinyang is too anxious, he will understand it when he goes up to the city wall to take a look, but the Marquis of Jinyang did not stay at Shangyu Pass at all, and directly crossed the Shangyu Pass to quickly kill the Xiayu Pass.

As a result, he strayed into Shuangyu Gorge and suffered heavy losses.

found the right way, and it was not until after dawn that the Qin army that strayed into Shuangyu Gorge gathered on the official road one after another.

The mental state of the surviving people is not very good, in addition to physical exhaustion, that is, the mental stimulation is greater, if it is a battlefield fight, it is just that, being killed by a group of crocodiles and poisonous insects, the scene is really unacceptable, seeing the companion being bitten in two by the crocodile, swallowing it into the mouth and chewing and eating, it is too terrifying.

There are also those black insects more than a foot long, who were bitten, turned purple in the blink of an eye, and died of poisoning and convulsions.

"Order, rest for two hours and then set off. ”

The Marquis of Jin Yang looked at the miserable appearance of the soldiers, and there was no way to march in this state, so he ordered to rest.

"How long has it been since the person sent to deliver the message to Li Chaoyang has been gone?"

After statistics, the 100,000 horses brought out this time, there are more than 60,000 people left, and the state is not good, if you want to capture Wuling City, you must increase the army, but it is difficult to expand if there are more, after all, the road here is not easy to walk, 200,000 people, almost have to line nearly 100 miles.

When it was dark again, the Marquis of Jinyang finally came to the small basin, where there were a lot of scattered houses, that is, the kind of frame supported by wood, with a kind of small leaf chapter of the grass roof to block the rain and shade, around the grass mud handle twisted into a grass mud wall, leaving two front and back transparent windows, a door, and rough living utensils in the house, this is a simple house for farmers to farm and rest and eat.

There is a lot of farmland here, which has now been harvested, and only some of the inch-tall winter wheat is still green.

The Marquis of Jinyang sent a large number of scouts to explore the road in front and investigate the enemy's situation, and the reward was that the road ahead was unblocked, and no enemy situation was found, and not even a single figure was seen.

"Something is abnormal!"

The staff officer frowned, feeling ominous.

This situation is abnormal, looking at the situation here, there should be people, although it is late autumn, the farmers have finished harvesting, but the winter wheat also needs to be managed, there should be farmers here, because the scouts are not here at night, they are here a few hours earlier to check.

"There's nothing unusual or abnormal, there was such a big movement in that canyon last night, the enemy must have noticed it, Xia Yuguan is afraid that he has already received the letter, and it is strange that there are people here. ”

Jin Yang Hou had expected this situation and didn't care.

"Order, let everyone have a good night's rest, recuperate, tomorrow at the end of the day, set off at the end of the day, Xiayu Pass may be another hard battle. ”

The Marquis of Jinyang no longer had the hope of a surprise attack on Wuling City, and was ready to capture it.

And at this moment, Zhang Xian still has a day's trip to Wuling City.

How difficult it is to sail against the current.

Fortunately, the drop of the Li River in this section is not large, and the water flow is much more stable than that of the rivers in Baling and Bashu, otherwise it will have to be stretched.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, the waterway is no better than the land, it's dangerous to sail at night, whether to anchor or not wait for dawn to go. ”

The general of the navy asked.

"Okay, well, where are we?"

Zhang Xian nodded in agreement, and the general of the navy breathed a sigh of relief, this heart is not as usual, but the lord of the country is on his boat, how dare he be careless.

"The south bank already belongs to the Zongye country, not far from Decheng, and the north bank is thirty miles away is the pond water pass. ”

"How far is the pond water pass from the Xiayu Pass?"

Zhang Xian came to the table to check the map.

"Fifty miles to the east of Chishui Pass is Xiayu Pass. ”

Chishuiguan is actually a small city, located in the middle of two rivers, the South River meanders into the Li River, the North River turns north to flow into the Tong River, and finally converges the Chen River in Shangcheng Country.

Chishuiguan belongs to Jixi City.

From east to west four checkpoints, the pond water pass belongs to the last one, in fact, out of the Xiayu Pass is already a horse flat river, just two rivers form a horn tube, rushing to the mountainous area, out of the Xiayu Pass, facing is the big river on both sides, the north of the North River is the boundary of Baling country, the villages are dense in the distance, the town interval is not far away, the South River meanders along the mountain and finally joins the Li River.

There are many fishing villages on the south side of the South River, most of these villagers live by fishing, the South River is larger than the North River, the river surface is wide and the water flow is rapid.

Therefore, when the Baling State was occupied, three passes were set up here, mainly to defend the Shangcheng State and the Wuwei State from here to attack the hinterland of the Baling State.

As for the last pass, Chishui Pass, it was set up after the Zongye State recovered the two cities, but it was not to defend Shangcheng State and Wuwei State, because this fashion city state has already existed in name only, and Wuwei State has become an ally, so it is to defend the army of Qin State from here to attack Wuling City.

"Xiao Fei. ”

"Humble in office. ”

"Where is the Marquis of Jinyang?"

"I just received information that they were spending the night collecting grain. ”

Xiao Fei said that the grain harvest is the small basin, surrounded by mountains and fertile land, the farmers of those villages behind the pond water pass open up wasteland and farm there, and harvest every year, but it is in the mountainous area, infested with wild beasts, adjacent to the swamp of Shuangyu Gorge, which is not suitable for living, and the official does not want to build a tun there, so no one lives.

When farming manages and harvests grain, the government will send troops to protect it.

"Haha, interesting. ”

Zhang Xian said with a smile.

"Get General Zhao for me. ”

After a while, Zhao Bengao rushed over, and he was on an adjacent warship.

"General Zhao, look here, the army of the Marquis of Jinyang is here, do you want to clean him up?"

Zhao Bengao's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, I've been aggrieved for this time, and I have nowhere to vent, so give an order. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a fight, Zhao Bengao was extremely excited.

"He's got 100,000 horses!"

Zhang Xian didn't know that the Marquis of Jinyang strayed into Shuangyu Gorge and lost more than 30,000 horses.

"It doesn't matter how much he wants, he will kill him. ”

"Courageous. ”

Zhang Xian gave a thumbs up, the original Yancheng death row prisoners are brave and courageous, as long as they say killing, no matter how many people you have, they will rush up and kill without fear.

"The warships docked on the north shore, and all of them, except for the sailors, went ashore and attacked at night to collect grain. ”

"Your Majesty, this, obey. ”

The general of the navy saw that the lord of the country was personally fighting and wanted to stop it, but when he saw that the lord of the country was glaring, he had to obey the order to rock the ship to the north shore、、、、、
