Chapter 597: Burning Wuguan Mountain (1)
Wuguan Mountain is located in Wuguan County, Wuguan County is also named after Wuguan Mountain, and the name of Wuguan Mountain comes from the fact that there are five passes in the county, namely Yangquan Pass, Yin Spring Pass, Poison Spring Pass, Cold Spring Pass and Hot Spring Pass. Of course, this hot spring pass is not a hot spring pass held by the three hundred warriors of Sparta, just because there are dozens of hot springs large and small in Wuguan Mountain.
Three hundred years ago, during the struggle for hegemony, Wuguan County was an important pass for Longdu to defend against the warlords in the west, but in peacetime, these five passes became chicken ribs, and now only one soldier is stationed in each pass. On weekdays, they just stood guard lazily, and then blackmailed some merchants who passed through Wuguan Mountain. In the past six months, the imperial court has abolished the customs clearance, that is, the toll of the pass, which makes them very angry, and everyone has become poor again - without the customs duty, who wants to keep the five passes where birds don't?
So, these days, the defenders stationed at the five passes slept all day long, ignoring the people who came and went, and even ignored the gates of the passes.
Four thousand silver-clothed guards hurriedly ran through Wuguan County, led by Hu Li, and three thousand of the soldiers he led were from Xuewei, and most of the Xuewei were Yizhou soldiers. The Yizhou soldiers are short in stature but tough in character, and the most suitable for them is the night attack that is day and night. At the beginning, Hu Li took them all the way to the city of Nanqiang King and got the reputation of a bad general. Now the evil general Hu Li has struck again, and everywhere he passes is white bones and floating corpses.
Chen Guanxi didn't understand why Hu Li wanted to kill all the people along the road so cruelly, but Hu Li didn't care and said, "They may report to the officials!" You also know that the county magistrates of Wuguan County are not our people, and once they know the news, our people are not enough for them to stuff their teeth. ”
Chen Guanxi knew Hu Li's character, this person was stubborn and cruel, and he couldn't dissuade him, so he could only take them around crowded places to avoid Hu Li passing by and killing one place. On the night of the 11th, they crossed the mountains and mountains, and finally entered Wuguan County, and quietly approached the mountain col where the soldiers of the Western Regions were hiding. But fifteen miles away from the mountain pass, they suddenly encountered the sentries and patrols of the Xuanwu Army
Chen Guanxi was shocked, there were no such sentinels a few days ago, how could they be today. These sentinels are uniformly facing outward, and it is obvious that they are standing guard for the Western Regions soldiers in the mountain col.
It turned out that after Wang Jingzhi killed more than 30 beggar gang masters, Gu Yong was alerted, and Gu Yong asked the Xuanwu Army Bian Wen to send 3,000 people as sentinels to protect their secrets and disperse the mountain people at the same time. Bian Wen knew that the big event was coming, and these soldiers from the Western Regions were the blades that attacked Zhang Xiaowu, and if he wanted to preserve his strength and enjoy it without spending a single soldier, how could he send 3,000 people to act as sentinels?
However, the Xuanwu army has always been sloppy in military discipline and tired from training, and in this cold winter, they were sent out by the officials to be sentinels, and they complained again and again, even if they stood guard and sentry, they were all loose and sloppy, and even some sentries thought that the weather was cold, and after standing for a while, they ran back to the camp tent and fell asleep.
Hu Li looked at these Xuanwu soldiers who stuck their blades in the snow and curled up and dozed in their cloaks, and said in disbelief: "That's it? This is the Xuanwu Army? No wonder it will be defeated, no wonder it can only defend the city. ”
Cui Qilang said: "The Xuanwu Army in history is not like this. ”
Hu Li thought for a while and said, "If it is a frontal battlefield, our 3,000 people are enough to defeat 300,000 such shitholes. ”
Qu Ming said: "Then general, shall we kill it?" ”
Hu Li looked at Chen Guanxi and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you think?" It seems that the Xuanwu Army has made up their minds to protect them, when did these people collude together? ”
Chen Guanxi said: "They have hooked up together for a long time, let's discuss it together." ”
Hu Li waved his hand and said, "What to discuss, set fire to the mountain, isn't it the original plan?" The Wujun division has said that as soon as these Wuguan Mountains burn up, they will be unable to escape. ”
Chen Guanxi smiled bitterly: "The Wujun division does not understand the topography of Wuguan Mountain, let alone the consequences of liberating Huojiao Mountain. I'll draw you a map and you'll understand. After that, Chen Guanxi began to draw a map on the ground, and everyone gathered around and watched him draw the hills and ravines, although it was just a simple outline, but everyone could understand it.
Hu Li was surprised: "Your map is much more detailed than the maps we usually see. ”
Chen Guanxi smiled slightly: "This way of drawing is still taught to me by Lord Ling, I didn't understand it at first, but then I drew more and gained experience." This method of drawing maps was taught to me by Ling Gong, and he said that in the future, I would be asked to become a teacher at a military academy and teach this way of drawing to everyone. ”
"You can start a sect." Hu Li quipped.
Qu Ming asked, "General Chen, how many maps did you spend to be so proficient?" ”
Chen Guanxi said while drawing: "Everywhere I passed, the adults asked me to draw a map, and in the past five months, he asked me to draw all the maps in Longdu and the surrounding prefectures and counties, and I basically finished the drawing." So after I came to Wuguan County, I was able to successfully find the location of the soldiers in the Western Regions, but I didn't expect that in a few days, the surrounding defenses would be more dense. ”
Cui Qilang smiled: "You are a living map." ”
Chen Guanxi laughed and scratched his head. After the map was drawn, everyone looked at the map, studied the topography of Wuguan County, and found that there were so many mountains in Wuguan County, Chen Guanxi said that he just drew a rough idea, the terrain of Wuguan Mountain is more complicated, he can only temporarily draw the outline of the entire Wuguan Mountain, as for how many peaks there are, the local people say that there are about more than 300 mountains.
"This is the county seat, the county seat of Wuguan County, right in the middle of Wuguan Mountain." Chen Guanxi explained, "Because there are many mountain springs and hot springs in Wuguan Mountain, there is no shortage of water even in the mountains, and in addition, there are more than 10,000 households and more than 50,000 people in this Wuguan County, who are more or less related to the Xuanwu Army, or serve them, or are their relatives. The existence of Wuguan County is also inevitably related to the Xuanwu Army. If one day the Xuanwu Army no longer garrisons Wuguan County, the prosperity of Wuguan County will be gone. He drew a military camp on the south side of Wuguan County, and continued: "This is the Xuanwu Army barracks, and there are 20,000 Xuanwu troops in it. The Xuanwu army had 30,000 men, of which 10,000 were stationed on the outer city wall of Longdu, and the other 20,000 remained in the base camp, and these 30,000 people rotated every other month. Although the Xuanwu Army is not as elite as us, there are more ants and elephants can still die, so it is definitely not to be taken lightly. ”
Hu Libi measured the col where the soldiers of the Western Regions were hiding, dozens of miles away from the camp of the White Tiger Army, and he slapped his face and said, "If we kill the soldiers of the Western Regions, they will not have time to rescue." I really want to touch Li Cunyi, the world's number one fierce general, and I also want to compete with the soldiers of the Western Regions. ”
