Lock the dragon pass
Suolongguan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north, stands on the mountainside in the south, is the east gate of Qinzhou, has always been the place where the soldiers must fight, the surrounding mountains are even mountains, the peaks are even peaks, the valleys are deep and the cliffs are absolute, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, you can get it according to the danger of Qinzhou, at this time the beacon smoke is everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boom"
The smoke was everywhere, the wolf smoke continued to rise towards the sky, the sun was shining, and the soldiers' foreheads were sweating, with an order.
"Kill!" the black crushing soldier followed the ladder ant attached!
"Quick, let go!" The supervising team urged the soldiers, the rolling stones and logs on the wall kept being put down, and a piece of blood was smashed, and the soldiers who climbed up were only halfway up the way, and were thrown down the sassa and smashed, and immediately rolled down.
There is also a golden juice, and the whole pot is poured down.
The stench was pervasive, and the screams continued, and the soldiers who were climbing on the ladder immediately fell to the ground, and some did not fall to their deaths, rolling back and forth on the ground and howling.
This kind of fecal juice poured on the body, not only severe burns, but also severe infection, except for the Taoist shot, there is no possibility of survival.
Of course, the attackers were also prepared, and someone ordered: "Release!"
The catapult constantly throws the stone to the city wall, blasts on the city, and there is a card car to push forward, the card car is very thick, a layer of cowhide, a layer of iron sheet, the small masonry does not move, the big brick and stone hit it and rolls down, the firewood is thrown without burning, the two-wheeled cart can be pushed to cover more than 20 people.
At this time, at the sound of an order, all the archers suddenly flashed out and threw them at the city.
"Puff" sounded, the rain of arrows pounced, and suddenly a group of soldiers in the city screamed loudly and fell to the sky.
"Alas......" King Lu looked at it, his fingers clenched, and Xie Chengdong stepped forward: "Lord, although this pass is dangerous, if you get it, you can block the interference of the imperial court outside the pass." ”
"Therefore, we did things together, and rushed to the road, on the way Wangxiong County surrendered without a fight, although this lock dragon pass refused to surrender, but the guards did not have time to react, but more than a thousand, no matter how to resist, it could not resist for a few days. ”
"And we also preach righteousness, although it is a lie, but these soldiers can't tell the difference, how much will be affected, this morale is a little weaker. ”
Saying this, Xie Chengdong looked at the soldiers who were attached to the ants and remembered what happened not long ago.
"The people in the city listen, the prince's ** harem, the traitorous ministers are in charge, imprison the emperor, King Lu was shocked to hear about this, for the sake of the world, he raised troops into Beijing to protect the saint, killed the traitorous ministers, Qing Jun's side, reorganized the mountains and rivers, the governor, the county guard heard about this, and immediately followed His Royal Highness into Beijing, why do you want to serve the people who imprisoned your father's **?" Before King Lu attacked the city, he sent someone to shout.
Although these words had no obvious effect, I saw that both sides of the city wall were being strangled, but it was obvious that the city was fighting less and less, and smiled: "I think I can go down today." ”
Before the words were finished, someone in the city shouted: "Dengguan." ”
I saw a captain lead people to pounce, and only then rushed up, there were several soldiers, stabbed with spears, the captain wiped the sweat on his face, pounced, one rolled to avoid, one knife down, and a soldier company spear cut off.
After this delay, more people were killed, and suddenly the city wall broke open, and King Lu was overjoyed and said, "Find out who this is, and reward it." ”
"How many people have we lost?" King Lu asked to his side, and the lieutenant said, "Lord Wang, we sent four thousand up, and now it looks like we have lost two thousand." ”
"Two thousand?" King Lu paced a few steps with hatred: "I have lost so many soldiers in this tough battle, kill, kill them all." ”
Xie Chengdong looked at the city from the side, and when he heard that King Lu was going to kill the rest of the people, he was suddenly startled, and said: "Prince, no, the resistance is fierce in this coming, it is to kill it, or everyone resists, how can it be won?" But this is the first battle of the prince, and the example is of greater significance. ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, don't kill again, surrender now, the next time you attack the city, maybe someone will surrender. Father-in-law Liao also said the same on the side.
King Lu listened, the anger in his heart swelled, and at this time, emotions and reason fought, and he took a few long deep breaths before he suppressed the fire in his heart: "What you said is, just follow this, and surrender." ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
Xie Chengdong said again: "Shout surrender first, if it surrenders, then divide the surrender army, find the deputy general, the deputy general will not be the captain, life and death will force him, and he will be tempted by profit, there will always be someone willing to surrender, as long as there is one person, he will set an example." ”
He said to King Lu again: "Please also ask the prince to act like a thousand dollars to buy bones." ”
King Lu waved his hand at this time and said, "What you said is that Lone has already understood, so he will follow this." ”
The captain was ordered to go out, and after a while, the city shouted: "Those who descend will not die, and those who surrender will not die." ”
"For the sake of the court, how can we be subjugated by these thieves and kill the thieves. "There was a commotion outside, and it seemed that they would not give in.
"Archery!" Suddenly there were arrows and screams, King Lu did not speak, only listened to the continuous shouting: "The crown prince imprisoned the emperor, the prince raised troops into Beijing to protect the saint, and even the governor and the county guard followed His Royal Highness, why do you want to serve the people who imprisoned the father's **? If you are obsessed with it, then you can only kill." ”
"Thief!" someone shouted again, but only shouted, and was immediately shot to death by random arrows, and finally someone couldn't hold it anymore, kneeling and shouting: "I will wait for the surrender of my wishes, and follow the prince into Beijing to beg for thieves." ”
One person knelt down, and then knelt down again and again, hundreds of people descended, and the killing gradually stopped.
After a while, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old general of medium stature came over, and when he saw King Lu, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Qiao Dao, the deputy general of the last general Suolongguan, does not know that the prince is the savior of Jingnan, and it is really guilty to resist the heavenly soldiers in vain." ”
"Those who don't know are not guilty, the general suddenly woke up, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it is a great good, please get up!" King Lu personally helped up this partial general, glanced at the "awakened" soldiers, and his heart was happy.
This is indeed a joke, but politics is such a thing, some people take the lead, some people follow, and when there are more people, it becomes a real thing.
If it is a rebel army, these hundreds of soldiers must be transformed, even if they can be used.
But now, tell them that they are the "Savior of Martyrdom", and it will be available immediately, and as for the future, if you follow yourself for a long time, even if you know the truth, it doesn't matter.
smiled at the moment: "Let's enter the customs." ”
There is still a mansion in Suolongguan, and in a moment there is a map on the table in the hall, which is a map of the entire Qinzhou, King Lu is wearing armor, his eyebrows are lightly raised, and Gonggong Liao and Xie Chengdong are standing on one side.
"Mr. Xie, we have won the Xiongguan, do you have any suggestions?" King Lu turned his head slightly and looked at Xie Chengdong on the left and asked, with a smile on his face, this time he successfully defeated the Suolong Pass, and his father couldn't help himself for a while, and he could take Qinzhou down when he looked back.
Xie Chengdong pondered for a moment, pointed to the map in front of him and said, "Lord Wang, if you lock the dragon pass, you can block the interference of the imperial court outside the pass according to the danger of Qinzhou, I have already said this." ”
"Now that we have it, we can say that the big picture is half decided. ”
"But the imperial court has the world, and the strength is not within Qinzhou's reach, if we don't care about the imperial court and rely on Xiongguan to look back and clean up Qinzhou, then when we finish cleaning up, we will find that the hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court have been rectified and opened, even if we can hold on for a while longer and fight against the overall situation with a corner, it is difficult to escape defeat. ”
"We must take advantage of the late mobilization of the imperial army and attack the capital immediately!"
"What?" King Lu's body stiffened, his face couldn't help but be shocked, he looked at Xie Chengdong and asked, "Our army is only 20,000, how can we attack the capital?"
Xie Chengdong couldn't help but smile: "Lord Wang, do you still remember what happened to King Shi four hundred years ago?"
"Stone King?" King Lu thought.
I only listened to Xie Chengdong say: "Back then, King Shi rebelled, captured Ningcheng, and called the king the system, but in February, he ordered Lin Xiang to lead a 20,000-strong northern expedition, which was once close to the capital, and was besieged and strangled by the army because of the lone army. ”
"Many people think that this is a stupid move, and the lone army is deep!" Xie Chengdong sneered disdainfully: "But this is actually a stroke of genius, if the prince carefully investigates history, he will find that with only 20,000 troops, the frightened capital has repeatedly mobilized heavy troops to return to the division for protection." ”
The expeditionary force lasted for nearly two years, and during this time, Shiwang's army was almost uninhabited in the south, conquering important towns one after another, and its prestige was great for a while. ”
"He Ye, it was the Northern Expeditionary Army that disrupted the deployment of the imperial court, so that there were no heavy troops in the south and no one could organize the encirclement and suppression, and when the Northern Expedition failed, the imperial court freed up its hands, and the states united, strangled step by step, and finally destroyed this stone king in thirteen years. ”
"Shiwang failed, but this history has left the secret of success, and we can improve this excellence, we attack the capital, just a strategy, not a death battle. ”
"Fight all the way, lay down, enrich our army with the grain money and army you get, and even move it to Qinzhou, you can't fight, as long as we can't organize a blockade, we can let it go, along the way to publicize the prince's harem, imprison the emperor, control the government, and traitorous ministers in power. ”
"All of this is to disrupt the deployment and plan of the imperial court, and to give the Qinzhou raiders a stable and calm strategic condition. ”
"His Royal Highness is the son of the emperor after all, with natural inheritance, digesting the county is not the king of Shi and the Marquis of Jibei can be compared, as long as Qinzhou is obtained, we can determine the direction and territory of our real strategy according to the situation. ”
"I hope that the southern Jibei Marquis can hold on for more time, so that as long as we win the three states, we will survive the initial crisis and compete with the imperial court. ”
"Good, sir is really my military advisor. King Lu thought about it carefully, understood, and immediately smiled, and there was a report outside the door, and a Taoist hurriedly came up to report: "Yingzhou has been leveled, the Marquis of Jibei has been killed, and the imperial army has returned to the court." ”
When King Lu heard this, he was taken aback: "What?"
showed a look of surprise and disbelief, and Xie Chengdong was much calmer, sighed and said: "I originally thought that the Marquis of Jibei had no royal spirit, and I didn't want to be unable to hold on to this little time." ”
"However, this proves that the prince has great fortune, do you think, what will happen to us if this news arrives some time earlier?"
Seeing that King Lu had eased his face slightly, Xie Chengdong said solemnly: "However, since the Marquis of Jibei is destroyed, our situation is much more dangerous, and I ask the prince to make up his mind immediately." ”
