Chapter 581, Great Array Battle 14
Zuo Liangyu received the urgent report, and was also taken aback, at this time he understood that he was really attacked from both sides, and the Qin army seemed to be fierce, but there were not many people and horses, and there was not much progress, and Li Dingguo sent by Zhang Xianzhong was very powerful, and he must not let his troops come to Wuchang City. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
Therefore, Zuo Liangyu also hurriedly gathered all the remaining men, went out of Wuchang, and went up the river to meet Li Dingguo.
1,400 years ago, Cao C and Sun Liu allied forces fought in Chibi, Cao C was defeated by Zhou Yu with fire attack tactics, retreated to the north, and since then the three-legged situation has been initially formed, and now, another war related to the half of the south of the Yangtze River has started here.
However, whether it was Zuo Liangyu, or Li Dingguo, or even Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu, and Zhu Yousong in Nanjing, they could not have imagined the outcome of this war in any case, because they mobilized the army and worked on an expedition, and the two teams collided head-on, desperately fighting to the death, and suffered heavy casualties, but all this was already seen by another person and was happy in his heart.
This person is the King of Qin in Guanzhong. In his eyes, whether it is the fierce Zhang Xianzhong or the ruthless and cunning Zuo Liangyu, they are all chess pieces in his eyes, and his giant hand covering the sky is about to smash into Sichuan.
Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo fought fiercely in this place of Chibi, although Li Dingguo was outnumbered, but fighting on the river, the number of people did not necessarily take much advantage, if so, Cao C had already defeated the Sun-Liu coalition army.
After all, the river is so wide, and it is impossible to go around the back of the enemy, so the two sides can only fight to the death on the river, boat to boat, oar to oar, soldier to soldier, and the general to fight to the death, Zuo Liangyu's men and horses are very refined, and the battle on the river is very brave, Li Dingguo can not break through his water village, and is firmly held there, and the two sides enter a stalemate.
At this time, Hanzhong's Bai Qi made a move.
He got the news that Li Dingguo had started a war with Zuo Liangyu, and immediately ordered troops at Yangping Pass. Prepare for the attack.
Li Kang had already asked the King of Qin in Guanzhong for a handwritten letter according to the prior arrangement, which was addressed to Zhang Xianzhong, and the letter stated that the Qin army had prepared a gift and asked Li Kang to personally escort it and give it to the soldiers of the Great Western Kingdom. As soon as the letter arrived, Li Kang immediately sent a personal soldier, who was familiar with Zhang Xianzhong, to Chengdu.
Zhang Xianzhong saw that it was the person next to Li Kang, and after reading King Qin's letter, he was very happy, thinking that King Qin was still very reasonable. So he ordered Ai Nengqi of the Sword Pavilion to take Li Dang into the customs.
The messenger returned to Yangping Pass and reported to Li Kang, Li Dang was overjoyed, Bai Qi heard about it, no longer delayed, and immediately raised troops, he asked Li Kang to take 300 iron horsemen, escorting 50 carts, some of which were loaded with Guanzhong's specialties and some silk, and the other half of the carts were all hidden soldiers. Armed with muskets, crossbow arrows, and even gunpowder, these soldiers prepared to take the city gates.
Everything was ready, Li Dang led the people on the road, Bai Qi led a large group of people and horses, followed Li Kang, separated by a few miles, very careful when traveling, and caught all the pedestrians on the road, lest anyone report to Ai Nengqi and waste all his efforts.
Li Dang took these three hundred iron horses, escorted dozens of carts, and swaggered away. After walking for two hours, he came to the outside of the Sword Pavilion Pass.
Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem called "Shu Dao Difficult", which has the sentence "The Sword Pavilion is magnificent and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open", which is enough to see the danger of the Sword Pavilion. Jiang Wei, the general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms, led the army to retreat to the Sword Pavilion after the loss of Hanzhong, and the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Zhong Hui, the general of Wei, were helpless. Therefore, as long as the Sword Pavilion is not lost, Chengdu will not be threatened.
Li Dang came to the sword pavilion, looked up, only to see the majestic pass, the four walls are towering, a dangerous road stretches into it, and the four sides are full of ancient wood wolf forests, apes and tigers roar, pine wind sassy, extremely solemn. There is really a sense of self-vibrating, and the sand is flying.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Dang nodded slightly, thinking in his heart that if this Xiongguan was not attacked by skillful tactics, even if there was a million troops, it would be useless. He ordered someone to probe behind to see where Bai Qi was, and after a while, someone reported that General Bai Qi had arrived with a large group of men and horses, and he was ambushed in the forest behind, and it was less than five miles away.
Li dared to estimate the distance and felt very sure that as long as his three or four hundred elite soldiers could capture the city pass and open the city gate, it would not take a cup of tea to kill.
Even if you fight for your life, you have to defend it until you get up.
Thinking of this, he ordered his own soldiers to go to the city to call the pass. A personal soldier came to the city under the gate on horseback, and the Great Western Army in the city had already seen it and shouted loudly: "Who is under the city?" If you don't sign up again, you will shoot your bow and arrows. β
The soldier shouted: "Don't let go of the arrows, I am a subordinate of General Li Kang under the account of the King of Qin, and I have been ordered by the King of Qin to send a gift for the army, and my General Li invited General Ai to come out to see me." β
When the people in the city heard that Li Kang had arrived, they didn't dare to slack off, who didn't know that this General Li Kang was the righteous brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and he had risked his life to save Zhang Xianzhong's life. It can even be said that he is the benefactor of the Great West Country. So the city shouted, "All right, wait a minute, and we'll tell you right away." β
After a short time, Ainengqi went to the city, he looked down carefully, and saw that there were indeed hundreds of horses under the city, including dozens of big cars, and the cars were loaded with boxes and cabinets, and the first big banner was Li Kang's banner.
Ai Nengqi was also afraid of fraud, so he asked loudly, "Which one is Uncle Li Kang?" β
He is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, so he calls Li Dang his uncle.
Li Dang urged the horse to take a few steps forward and beckoned to the city: "Is it Neng Qixian's nephew?" I am here. β
As soon as Ai Nengqi heard the voice, it was indeed Li Kang, so he no longer doubted it, and shouted: "Uncle Li, I will go to meet you." So saying, he ran down to the city, took 200 of his own soldiers, ordered the city gate to be opened, and invited Li Dare to enter the city.
Even so, Enench was not a fool after all, and when he came to the city, he had already set up two thousand men and horses, and when he opened the city, he laid them out along the avenue as a welcome gift in the middle of the road. In this way, there is no loss of face, but also defense.
As soon as Li Dang saw that Ainengqi had agreed to open the city, he turned around, glanced at the people behind him, and nodded lightly, these people had already been prepared, and they had all the weapons they needed with them, and they could draw their swords and cross the horse at any time.
The city gate of the Sword Pavilion creaked and slowly opened, Li Dang looked at the opening of the city gate, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he knew that the opening of this city gate marked the D opening of the Sichuan gate.
