Before Huazhou, there was Tongguan, the place of guarding Guanzhong, but at the end of the Tang Dynasty in the melee many times the war was affected, to the current five generations of replacement, moved the capital to Bianjing, Tongguan temporarily lost the original important strategic significance, but Qi and Qin contended, Huazhou and Hezhong became the front line of confrontation, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to rebuild the already dilapidated Tongguan.

However, the Hezhong Army naturally would not allow the Qin army to build a moat under their noses, so every time the Qin army recruited people to build a city, the Hezhong army would send troops to obstruct it.

In the customs clearance place, this kind of skirmishing between the two sides has been continuous, but Tongguan City has not been able to rebuild the dangerous pass as Zhao Kuangyin wished.

The already steep city of Huazhou, an important town in the former Tang Dynasty, became the frontline of Zhao Kuangyin's painstaking management.

In this attack on Qin, Lu Ning was ready to use 6,000 guards and pro-army, 30,000 Hezhong army and 5,000 Shenwei army in Dengzhou, instead of using other large battalion forces.

Of course, the Minfu regiment is afraid that it will also recruit tens of thousands, and together, it can also be called 100,000 military horses.

Originally, the Shu army was contained, and with the further upgrading of the divine weapons of the guards in front of the palace, Lu Ning was very sure of this battle.

But I don't want to, a Wang Zhaoyuan, will mess up everything.

When setting out from Bianjing, Lu Ning also ordered Kuaima to send an edict to Dengzhou, and ordered the king of Dengzhou to lead the Shenwei army to advance to the northwest and attack Shangzhou.

If you play the Three Kingdoms game, you will have an intuitive concept, that is, one military horse will attack Chang'an from Luoyang, and one military horse will attack from Wan.

It's just that now, the timing is a bit wrong.

However, Lu Ning also considered the worst-case scenario, for example, the Shu State suddenly turned against the water to help the Qin army, including the party members of the Dingyan Army, and also responded to Zhao Kuangyin and attacked the river.

All of these have corresponding countermeasures.

Therefore, although the war did not unfold as expected, on the whole, these variables did not affect the overall situation.

……

A few miles in front of Huazhou City, the guards and pro-army successfully set up camp.

Although the defenders of Huazhou saw the movement of this Qi army, they did not move lightly.

In particular, on the countless black oppressive banners of this Qi army and horses, there is a huge golden flying dragon that is eye-catching, and at the head of Huazhou City, it seems that you can also see the coercive aura of the golden dragon circling and devouring heaven and earth.

This, what does this mean?

The pro-army of the Son of Heaven of Qi arrived in front of Huazhou City.

Even if it has been three years since the Great War broke out in Qi and Qin, the veterans of Qin who have experienced this war can't help but tremble a little when they see the flags fluttering in the distance, as if they have returned to that nightmarish battlefield.

Now at the head of Huazhou City, Li Da's eyelids, which are tightly holding the handle of the knife, are jumping involuntarily.

He was the ironclad cavalry in the forbidden army of King Qin, and he still remembers that day, the banner of Emperor Qi's pro-army appeared on the battle array, as if he was a lamb to be slaughtered to death, he and his companions, urging the mount to rush and kill, more than 10,000 heavy horsemen and light cavalry rolled up the wild sand, as if they could kill Emperor Qi's weak pro-army in an instant, but they didn't want to, waiting for a loud noise that shook the earth, the sky collapsed, he was dressed in iron armor, fell off the horse heavily, his luck was good enough, and many companions died in that tragic battle.

After he was captured, he was "educated" for several months, and then incorporated into the Hezhong Army, because he kept an eye on the day he was captured, and did not really say his origin, he was from Pizhou, and his home was in the hinterland of Qindi, but he came out for a long time and changed his native accent.

Sure enough, not long after, those surrendered troops who were originally from Qin were moved to the interior of the Central Plains, and he and many surrendered troops from central Shaanxi, eastern Shaanxi, and even the Central Plains were incorporated into the Hezhong Army.

He seized an opportunity and fled back to Qin with great difficulty, originally returning to his hometown just to live in peace, but he didn't want the King of Qin to conquer Ding to the point of almost madness, and he had no choice but to be recruited into the army of King Qin.

He concealed his military career, and the people in his hometown didn't know what he had done in the past few years, and it seemed that even if the neighbors knew their past, no one would tell them.

For example, in the battle with Shu, I heard that Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of King Qin, led the army, and he actually slaughtered the city to stimulate morale, but I don't know, King Qin knows or not, in short, I feel that King Qin seems to have changed a lot over the years.

And now, King Qin is finally about to face that extremely powerful opponent.

Li Dayi, his heart was pounding, but he faintly felt that there was a sense of relief.

"Dutou, I don't see many people in the Qi army? Why don't you go down and kill them all! Standing on the side of Li Dayi, licking his lips and smiling, is a short and fat man, surnamed Liu, the third in the family, with a violent personality, he has killed and injured people in the countryside, a few days ago, he and his companions "tasted the taste of the little girls in the suburbs", which he couldn't help but brag about, and he didn't know whether it was true or false, but Li Dayi believed that he could do this kind of thing.

I heard that when attacking Shu, Zhao Guangyi, the envoy from the south and the Duke of Yanguo, gave an order to slaughter the city, and Liu San was annoyed for a long time because he was not in the army of Shu.

Li Dayi didn't bother to pay attention to him and remained silent.

"Pan Duhu, you're really daring!" Liu San pursed his lips disdainfully.

Guarding Huazhou, is the Yongxing Festival envoy Pan Mei, Huazhou Yongxing Army, there are 30,000 people, behind Huazhou, is the former Tang capital Chang'an, the current Jingzhao Mansion, originally there were 40,000 or 50,000 heavy soldiers, but I heard that a part of the Fengxiang army was dispatched to cut down Shu together.

Because now it is the autumn harvest season, the army of Qi Hezhong has no sign of recruiting people at all, so after Shu provoked first and was vulnerable, the king of Qin made a decision and ordered his younger brother to go south to cut down Shu.

However, Li Dayi always felt that it seemed that the style of King Qin was more and more like the rogue in the former Tang Dynasty, slaughtering the city and plundering wealth, so he might be able to win a few more battles, but how could he win the hearts of the Shu people?

Thinking about it, Li Dayi sighed softly.

"Is the order really from Pan Duhu himself?" Liu San asked again.

Li Dayi looked at Nunu from afar, "You won't see it yourself, it's still in the city!" ”

Liu San looked at it from a distance, but he couldn't see it really, turned his head to look at the shadowy banners and the military village outside the city, and pouted: "It's only a few thousand, right?" Dare to swagger and set up a village? ”

Li Dayi finally couldn't help it, "The people camped outside the city are the guards of the Son of Heaven of Qi, and most of them, the Son of Heaven of Qi is also in the army." ”

"Huh?!" Liu San's eyes lit up immediately, "Then if you can kill the emperor of Qi, can't you be crowned a king and a marquis?" ”

Li Dayi wanted to slap himself, why should he ignore him?

The people in the prison are stupid, they are supposed to die, and now they are also amnesty and confiscated into the army.

is usually a brave and ruthless outlaw, and his neighbors are very afraid of him, so he really thinks that he is very fierce and invincible.

When you get to the military array, you don't need the prince of Qi's army, Lao Tzu can chop your head with a knife.

Li Da turned around and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
