Chapter 702: Annihilation of Shu (27)
Iron lock Yokoe!
In the water war, in addition to water ghosts and fire ships, the iron lock Hengjiang is the most! If it is used to cooperate with water ghosts and fire ships, it can be said that it is almost irresistible, just like an infantry army facing a cavalry army.
Chu Yan's mountain army is good at running in the mountains and forests, raiding, and also has the ability to jump over the stream and tread the river.
Within a few days, with the efforts of a blacksmith in the city and the soldiers in the army, dozens of iron cables were made. It does not show its appearance under the turbulent river, but it has the function of intercepting large ships.
After that, Chu Yan always paid attention to the situation in the lower reaches of the river, and although she did not continue to lay more iron cables, she did not forget to cut down trees to make fireboats.
After a few more days, everything was ready, and when the army from the direction of Jingzhou arrived, it was ......
Mianzhu.
"This pass is majestic, and it is no worse than the water!"
Under the gate, Gongsun Du looked at it carefully, and praised it: "The mountains here are high and dense, the left and right are up and down, the rivers are turbulent, like a throat, and it is wonderful to fall here." It's not easy to win. ”
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, I really didn't expect Shu to be so remote and have such a majestic pass." Huang Xu nodded in agreement.
Gongsun Du said with a smile: "The mountains and rivers of Shu are beautiful, and the people are outstanding, you are underestimating." ”
Huang Xuyan heard that he thought carefully about the battle with Liu Jun in the past two years, as well as the news that came from Shu from time to time, and couldn't help nodding and said, "The minister is arrogant." ”
Gongsun Du shook his head and didn't care, but looked at Xin Bi and said, "Can Zhang Liao and Cao Xing arrive?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the two generals are ready, just wait for Your Majesty's order, you can take Mianzhu." Simbi said categorically.
Mianzhu Xiongguan, if it is about to be attacked head-on, it is definitely more difficult to attack than Bishui Pass. Without him, the walls are thick and the road is narrow, and it is not easy to kill the pass, let alone take it. The Ming army is brave, as long as Gongsun Du is willing, he may be able to do it at the cost of thousands of soldiers' lives, but that is definitely not what Gongsun Du wants to see.
However, who Gongsun Du is, everyone in the world knows that it is "Immortal Linfan" (actually crossing), and knows that there are two strategies to take down Mianzhu, and the loss is not big. It's just that Gongsun Du has always been cautious, and just in case, he has taken a two-pronged approach.
"That's good, today we will have a good tour outside Mianzhu Pass, and also take a look at the scenery of this Shu land." Gongsun Du said with a smile.
Looking at the scenery?
Along the way, there are green mountains and green waters everywhere, and you have seen enough.
Huang Xu, Xin Bi and others did not refuse, and followed the tour of the mountains and rivers.
Gongsun Du said that, and he didn't really want to do it. showed his face outside Mianzhu Pass, and without waiting for Liu Jun in the pass to react, he set off to return to the camp.
In Guanzhong, Ma Tan learned the news and hurriedly asked to see Wei Yan, the general of Zhenguan.
"General Wei, the Ming army that came this time was personally led by Emperor Ming, if it can be captured, it can solve the crisis in Shu." Ma Tan said bewildermently.
Wei Yan's heart moved, but he couldn't help but slander him: If Your Majesty could listen to Wei's words, he would have already taken Hanzhong, how could it be the turn of the Ming army to come south, it would really be a cocoon.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ma Tan thought that he didn't agree, so he couldn't help but be anxious, so he persuaded again: "General Wei is not as brave as a general, if he can capture and kill Emperor Ming, his prestige can catch up with the general, and then he will be able to be reused by His Majesty." ”
Wei Yan was really tempted at this time, nodded and said: "Ma joins the army, rest assured, the general will set up heavy troops to capture and kill Emperor Ming." ”
Ma Yan still wanted to ask carefully, but Wei Yan didn't want to give him a chance to speak, so he got up directly to see off the guests.
Ma Yan couldn't help but be angry, he also knew that Wei Yan had always looked down on him, but when was it now, he still had such thoughts.
"The end is not a minister."
scolded secretly in his heart, Ma Yan still had to leave, because Wei Yan was an irritable man, and he didn't want to be beaten. Being beaten is small, but losing people is big.
After Ma Yan left, Wei Yan pondered for a while, and someone called the original Mianzhu guard Liao Hua. Wei Yan only arrived at Mianzhu when he supported before, and he was not the one who guarded Mianzhu earlier.
Liao Hua didn't have any dislike for Wei Yan, but breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, when he heard that the Ming army was coming, Liao Hua felt pressure, but now that someone can stand up to the front, it really makes him happy.
Called, Liao Hua hurried over.
"The last general, Liao Hua, meets the general."
"General Liao doesn't need to be polite."
Wei Yan personally helped Liao Hua up, and said: "Emperor Ming has fought the world for many years, his bravery is extraordinary, and he is famous in the world. However, time has passed, and now Emperor Ming has long been old and weak, and he is no longer as brave as he was back then. Emperor Ming didn't know it, and he still fought bravely in person, this is a God-given opportunity, and he wanted to capture it to offer His Majesty. ”
Liao Hua understood and said in a long voice: "This is a monstrous achievement, if General Wei needs it, Hua will do his best to help." ”
"Hahaha, good! General Liao is indeed a man of knowledge. ”
Wei Yan was overjoyed, and said: "The Ming army is brave and fierce, and it has always been invincible and invincible. Tomorrow the Ming army will attack, and we will resist for the time being, and then pretend to be invincible, let it enter the customs, and then ......"
Following.
Gongsun Du Chen Bing Mianzhu Pass, but did not attack.
"What's going on?" Wei Yan was quite puzzled and asked, "Why didn't the Ming army attack?" ”
Liao Hua shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Wei Yan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Do you want us to take the initiative to attack?" Or abandon it? ”
Liao Hua shook his head: "It's not appropriate." ”
Wei Yan also knew that it was wrong, but-
"Is General Liao ready?"
"It's ready." Liao Hua replied, and said helplessly, "It's just that the Ming army doesn't come, what can we do?" ”
"Don't worry about this, once the Ming army comes, it will never just look at the scenery." Wei Yan said very firmly.
"Yes!" Liao Hua couldn't, so he had to retreat.
Liao Hua left, Wei Yan looked at the Ming army outside the pass, and lost his previous worries. At this time, he had already figured out that the Ming army was absolutely going to tackle key problems, otherwise how would they kill Chengdu? Anyway, he won't take the initiative to give up Mianzhu.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
Rumble......
"What sound?" Wei Yan listened intently, wanting to know where the loud noise came from.
Thundered......
The voice was getting louder and louder, but Wei Yan didn't feel like it was coming from outside the gate, but like it was from above.
"Up there?"
Wei Yan looked up and only saw white clouds.
Rumble...... Bang bang ......
The violent shaking made Wei Yan understand in an instant: "Emperor Ming is not wasting time, but waiting for such a thing. ”
Barely steady, Wei Yan finally saw the culprit. There were ten boulders, rolling down from the top of the mountain on the right, smashing part of the wall, especially the wall behind, which collapsed most of it.
"Damn it!"
Wei You was furious, terrified, and questioned: How did Emperor Ming make the boulder fall from the sky?
"Kill!"
The Ming army didn't give him time to think about it, and roared and killed.
Wei Yanfang wanted to boost the morale of the army in order to meet the enemy in front of him, but there was a shout of killing from behind.
"Kill!"
Looking back, Wei Yan saw from the collapsed gap that countless Ming troops suddenly killed in the mountains and forests behind him, attacking Mianzhu from behind.
"It's over!"
Rao is Wei Yan thinks that he is full of wisdom and bravery, and there are few opponents in the world, and he has no talents...... However, he did not think that victory would be achieved when the city pass was broken and the enemy was attacked from both sides.
"Withdraw~"
Wei Yan snorted and prepared to retreat.
"General!" got off the stage and bumped into Liao Hua.
"General Liao, Mianzhu is no longer defendable, retreat quickly." Wei Yan was not embarrassed and said quickly.
Liao Hua smiled bitterly: "But where are we going?" The tunnel dug last night was crushed by boulders. ”
"What?" Wei Yan was really panicked now, originally this was his backhand, preparing to sneak attack Gongsun Du, only then did he feel that he was wrong, there was a way to live, but now he was ......
Gone?
"Kill!"
The roaring shouts made Wei Yan understand that there was no more time to think about it, and he had to make a choice as soon as possible. His face turned pale, and he shouted: "Then dig again!" We must dig it up as soon as possible, or you and I will die without a place to bury. ”
Liao Hua was not stupid, and after answering the order, he dug next to the boulder, but in a moment, it was connected to the previous tunnel.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, almost right in my ears.
Liao Hua looked back and saw that the soldiers of the Ming army had been killed, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "The general will leave quickly, and the last general will stay behind." ”
Wei Yan glanced at it and said, "No, let's go together." ”
Before Liao Hua could say more, Wei Yan reprimanded: "Hugh has to come to Hu and keep it useful in order to continue to serve His Majesty." ”
Liao Hua then followed it, and together with Wei Yan, he came out of the tunnel.
At this time, Wei Yan realized that something was wrong and asked, "By the way, what about Ma joining the army?" ”
Liao Hua smiled bitterly: "Ma was unlucky when he joined the army, and when he entered the tunnel before, the tunnel happened to be smashed by a boulder. ”
When Wei Yan heard this, he couldn't help but remember that he had seen the bloodstain in the tunnel before, which was obviously Ma Yan's. Immediately, he didn't say anything more, ran into the mountains and disappeared.
After the war, Gongsun Du learned that Wei Yan and others had disappeared, and although he was surprised, he didn't care too much. Mianzhu is the last barrier in the north of Chengdu, and now it is down, which means that as long as he wants, the army can reach the city of Chengdu.
