Chapter 938: Yang Zhong Gives Up Artillery!
The initial goal of the Tiger Prison Army and the Grassland Army was to capture the entire territory of Beichang County and the two counties on the north bank of the Yellow River in Donggu County!
And Luo Xing, the general of the Erpin Town Army, led the remaining 70,000 cavalry and 21 artillery battalions directly under him, a total of 91,000 troops to sit in Beichang, waiting for the good news from the various armies!
Great Qi Dynasty, Yong'an County, Sheng'an City!
Sheng'an City is the same nature of the city as Beichang City, are a county seat, also close to the border pass, after breaking through the Xishui Pass, the Qin army of the South Pass of the South Pass of the Qin, rest for more than ten days, go to Sheng'an City, after more than ten days of marching, 300,000 Qin soldiers in the South Pass came to Sheng'an City.
Yang Long sent people to the city to shout, persuade the officials in the city, Qi officials are different from Zhao officials, after the discussion of the officials of Sheng'an City, they decided to surrender to the Qin army, so far, the 300,000 Qin troops in Nanguan did not spend a single soldier, and captured the entire Sheng'an City with one cannon and one bullet!
The officials of the Yong'an County Guard Mansion were also wiped out by the Qin army, and tens of thousands of people in the city also surrendered obediently and did not resist.
After capturing Sheng'an City, Yang Long took Sheng'an City as the base camp of the expedition, and then divided the army into zero, and divided his troops into ten ways to cover the city, intending to capture the entire Yong'an County in the shortest possible time!
.....
Relative to the Qin army in the south of the Qin, the Qin army in Tankou Pass was very fast, when the Qin army in the south pass captured Sheng'an City, the Qin army in Tankou Pass had already captured two counties of Yumen County, Galu Yue did not rely on artillery to break the city, but directly sent cavalry to attack, after the soldiers came to the city, forced the Qi people to surrender.
It is not a day or two that the Qi people are afraid of Qin, not to mention that this Qin army is composed of the notorious Huns, and the Qi officials who are afraid of being slaughtered all choose to surrender and dare not resist, so the Qin army at Tankou Pass is like a bamboo!
Since the outbreak of the all-out war, there have been a total of Qin-Xia War, Qin-Zhao War, Qin-Qi War, and Qin-Shu War, the first three have achieved success, and the latter is still marching in Shu with difficulty, with a daily speed of only 20 miles, and even forced to stop marching and resting every three or five times.
Shu Road is difficult, as difficult as the blue sky!
The Great Shu Dynasty, Shuxi County, Aoshan!
Shudong County is the eastern border county of the Shu Dynasty, the Shu River Tianwei is the gateway of Shudong County, and Ao Mountain is the name of the mountains hundreds of miles west of the Shu River.
"It's too hard to walk!"
"This can't be done, the artillery can't be transported at all, and the ox cart can't pass!"
"Do you want to open the way without a cannon?"
"Isn't it stupid, how to open it, you can't even set up artillery here!"
"If we go down at this rate, I'm afraid that when I die of old age, we won't be able to climb this mountain!"
On a certain halfway up the mountainside of Aoshan, the soldiers responsible for escorting artillery parts are complaining, and the reason for the complaint is very simple, this Aoshan mountain road is too narrow, how narrow is it? Only two people can walk side by side, the artillery parts are pulled by an ox cart, what is the size of a cow, and what kind of physique is the flatbed cart pulled behind, it is impossible to pass at all!
In the past, it was often said that Shu Dao was perverted, not for people to go, but now I have seen it, it is really not for people to go.
Zuo General Yang Zhong walked at this time, this mountain road, he is not easy to ride a horse, he can only walk.
Yang Zhong glanced at the situation of the mountain road, and then frowned into the word 'Chuan', thinking, how can the ox cart pass through such a narrow mountain road.
"Can the artillery open the way?" Yang Zhong asked out loud.
"Haha, General Zuo, you're joking, we're halfway up the mountain now, and we don't know where the artillery is, besides, this mountain is so big, how many shells do we have to use." An artillery battalion lieutenant sneered.
Yang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Can the grain truck pass?" ”
"We use wheelbarrows to transport grain, so we can cross this mountain road!" Yang Yi, who was beside Yang Zhong, replied loudly.
"In front of Shu Dao, the biggest drawback of the ugly cow artillery is presented, it is not suitable for mountains at all, and Shu is basically mountainous, even if we pull the artillery over this Ao Mountain, there is the next mountain waiting for us!"
"According to the current progress, I'm afraid that if Great Qin is unified, we haven't met the Shu army yet, so let's do it, General Chuanben ordered that all artillery battalions withdraw from Shu Realm, all return to Yanshui Pass to standby, and send another 20,000 pikemen to escort it!" Yang Zhong carefully analyzed it and decisively issued a military order.
"Huh?" Yang Yi was stunned when he heard this, "The general doesn't want artillery?" ”
"What do you want it to do, artillery is a drag in the Shu realm, and besides, even if my Yang family army does not have artillery assistance, it can still destroy the Shu Dynasty!" Yang Zhong said with a solemn and firm expression.
"Uh... All right! Yang Yi responded with regret.
In the next period of time, the ten artillery battalions directly under the command pulled a cart of artillery parts down the mountain, and it was not easy to go down the mountain, and if one was not careful, it would overturn.
After a full half a day, ten directly subordinate artillery battalions successfully descended the mountain, began to follow the same path, accompanied by 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, responsible for protecting the artillery battalion, the remaining 280,000 troops began to cross the mountains and mountains, without the drag of artillery, the Qin army's marching speed rose sharply, and in less than two hours, the army successfully crossed the Ao Mountain!
Time passed slowly, day by day, with the Qin army from all walks of life attacking everywhere, the southern border front of Great Qin was full of war, and all Qin troops captured cities one after another, annihilated the stubborn resistance of the enemy army, and jointly promoted the hegemony of Great Qin!
In the twenty-eighth year of the Holy Qin, June 5th!
From the seven-rank wing guard general Shizong led the army to break through the Shangqiu imperial capital, but the results were not great, the imperial capital family, Shikun, local tyrants, official relatives, court officials, royal relatives have long been gone, leaving nothing beneficial, such as household registration, treasures, etc., did not stay.
In other words, Sejong has captured an empty Great Xia imperial capital!
After breaking through the Shangqiu Imperial Capital, Sejong left 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, five directly subordinate artillery battalions, and a total of 10,000 troops to garrison the Shangqiu Imperial Capital, and then continued to go south with the remaining 30,000 iron cavalry, 15,000 sword and shield soldiers, and five directly subordinate artillery battalions.
The Qin army of Qitankou also recaptured a county of Yumen County of the Qi Dynasty on this day, so far, the Qi Dynasty has lost three counties in Yumen County, and half of the county land was occupied by the Qin army of Qitankou, losing more than 70,000 people.
