Chapter 1501: Capture the Pass

"Boom ......"

When the first cannon sounded, Liao Shanhe, the commander-in-chief of the enemy before tackling the storm, was already fully armed and stood in front of the commando.

"Robes, the artillery brothers have already begun, and it's up to us next. My old Liao is a rough person, so I won't talk nonsense, and I will pass on the emperor's dictation: those who take the lead in grabbing the customs will be collectively promoted to the second level of official rank, and the reward will be thousands. ”

Because it was an extremely difficult back attack, it was not suitable to light a torch, and Liao Shanhe couldn't see the faces of the soldiers clearly, but he could hear the sound of heavy inhalation clearly.

Uh-huh, the military heart is completely available!

Liao Shanhe made up his mind, pulled out the war knife on his waist, and shouted: "Everyone obeys my command, forms a single long line, and rushes forward with shields against the mountain wall in turn." A special reminder: Even if the robe falls off the cliff, it is not allowed to stop attacking. Those who dared to retreat were stripped of all official ranks and honors since joining the army, and their families were reduced to slaves. Do you understand? ”

Because a gag order had been issued, the soldiers could not answer Liao Shanhe's question in unison, but Liao Shanhe seemed to have heard everyone's cry in unison: "Understood." ”

In the Han army, the most important reward is military merit. Military merit is necessary to fight with your life, this has long been a combat tradition that the officers and men of the Han army are accustomed to, and there is no need for Liao Shanhe to remind him again.

"Come with me!" Liao Shanhe held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, walking at the forefront of the entire team.

Zhong Yuanjun, the sixth chamber envoy who stood side by side with Liao Shanhe, immediately quit, he grabbed Liao Shanhe's arm and whispered: "Old Liao, the emperor is worried that you are acting so recklessly, and he has already passed down the word, if you rush to the forefront, I will arrest you to see the emperor." ”

If it were someone else, Liao Shanhe could also rely on his official authority to fool the past. However, Zhong Yuanjun was a pacification envoy of the same status as him, and held the military power of Liao Shanhe's personal guards during the war.

The experience of working together for a long time told Liao Shanhe that Zhong Yuanjun would not be able to eat his methods at all, and if he continued to work brutally, Zhong Yuanjun would really dare to order him to be arrested to see Li Zhongyi.

"Alas, old Zhong, even if you are powerful, I will stay here, right?" Liao Shanhe had no choice but to stand in place, frowning and glaring for a while.

There's no way, who called Zhong Yuanjun, the pacification envoy, a pit who doesn't eat hard and soft?

The most important thing is that Zhong Yuanjun has the right to relieve Liao Shanhe of command and temporarily appoint others to carry out combat missions on his behalf.

Liao Shanhe stayed aside and sulked, Zhong Yuanjun waved his hand unequivocally, and shouted softly: "The commander of the death battalion will lead the team, and the rest of the soldiers will attack in turn." ”

So, the army officially launched an attack from the mountainside. Due to the unusually narrow mountain road, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the soldiers of the entire attacking queue rushed towards the top with their waists bent up, clinging to the mountain wall.

At this moment, in the camp of the Shu army, the "cocktail" bottles projected by Li Yongtang fell on various houses one after another, igniting the flames of the majestic and rapidly developing into a sea of fire.

After Yang Yuanji fell, his guards also panicked, and everyone picked up Yang Yuanji's body, turned around and ran to the back of the pass.

The commander ran away, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Shu army immediately collapsed, and everyone also dispersed in a hurry, hugging their heads and running away.

The burning fire of Xiongxiong spread rapidly, making every soldier of the Shu army fall into the threat of death, so it became a natural thing that the army was defeated like a mountain.

When Zhao Wu, the commander of the decisive death camp, was the first to rush to the gate of the Shu army's camp, he was immediately dumbfounded: the flames as high as several zhang had completely shrouded the camp gate, and he couldn't rely on it at all.

At this time, Li Zhongyi walked outside the tent in his clothes, holding a monocular in his hand, quietly observing the fire in the sky in the Shu army camp.

After Li Zhongyi observed for a while, he suddenly ordered Zhang Sanzheng: "You send someone to notify the engineer battalion and prepare sandbags to extinguish the fire." ”

Once the cocktail is burning, watering will not only fail to extinguish the fire in time, but will greatly contribute to the fire.

Then, by the time the sappers arrived in front of the Shu army camp with earthen bags, the fire was already uncontrollable.

The fire burned for five days in a row, and if it weren't for the sudden heavy rainfall, I am afraid that the forests within a radius of hundreds of miles near Yangping Pass would have been burned to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the minister made a big mistake and delayed a major military aircraft, and he was willing to accept military law." As soon as Liao Shanhe saw Li Zhongyi, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily to plead guilty.

Liao Shanhe is also very single. After the fire at Yangping Pass was out of control, he immediately took off his official robe, took off his tasseled helmet, and ran shirtless to plead guilty, without a word of sophistry.

Li Zhongyi didn't look at Liao Shanhe, picked up a teacup, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip.

"I heard that Meng Chang's youngest daughter is beautiful and beautiful, especially unmarried?"

Just when Liao Shanhe was worried, Li Zhongyi asked coldly, but he froze, blinked, and didn't react at all.

Gao Qiang, the commander of the Qinya battalion who was waiting on the side, knew very well that the emperor had deliberately spared Liao Shanhe, but after entering Chengdu, Meng Chang's daughter had to accompany the pillow.

Liao Shanhe is usually very popular, and he is very close to Gaoqiang. But the problem is that even if Gao Qiang wants to remind him, he doesn't dare to make a ghost in front of Li Zhongyi.

Just when Gao Qiang was in a hurry, Li Zhongyi drank all the tea in the cup, Gao Qiang had an idea, and after refilling the tea, he handed it to Li Zhongyi's hand and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you didn't eat much at night, did you use some snacks?" ”

Lao Liao, Lao Liao, a certain family can only help you get here, and the rest depends on your own creation.

It just so happened that Li Zhongyi also felt a little hungry, so he nodded and said, "Then take some snacks." ”

Gao Qiang didn't dare to look at Liao Shanhe at all, let alone remind Liao Shanhe loudly, but he just whispered to the pro-tooth soldiers with knives to go to the back tent to get snacks.

After having the buffer time that Gao Qiang fought for, Liao Shanhe, who was not stupid, immediately realized and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please let Weichen make meritorious service and allow Weichen to continue to attack Chengdu Mansion." After conquering Chengdu, Weichen must protect the palace of pseudo-Shu. ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Gao Qiang, who was standing aside, walked in front of Liao Shanhe, raised his leg and kicked Liao Shanhe, and said lightly: "Get up, I don't like kowtow insects, you know." ”

Liao Shanhe was kicked, as if he had knocked a panacea, and immediately perked up, kowtowed heavily, stood up, and said categorically: "The minister must protect the palace of the pseudo-Shu." ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Gao Qiang again, turned his head to look at Liao Shanhe, and said lightly: "I listened to what you said." ”

After Liao Shanhe was kicked, the whole person came back to life, his brain was abnormally bright, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if something goes wrong again, Weichen is willing to come to see him." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled, raised his hand and patted Liao Shanhe's right shoulder, and scolded: "Why don't you go and put on the robe?" ”

Liao Shanhe immediately blushed, scratching his ears and cheeks, showing a rare twist. He wanted to learn the old allusions of the guilt of Jing Plea, but he neglected the unseemly system of the monarch.

When Liao Shanhe was dressed neatly and returned to the tent again, Li Zhongyi pointed to a few plates of snacks and said with a smile: "Come, you're hungry, use some snacks to cushion your hunger." ”

The fire in Yangping Pass burned for several days, seriously delaying the time to march into Chengdu. Li Zhongyi not only did not severely punish Liao Shanhe, but treated him with kind words, how fortunate is he Liao?

Liao Shanhe's eyes suddenly moistened, and he secretly made up his mind that only by swearing allegiance to the monarch's father can he repay the depth of his kindness!

Li Zhongyi saw Liao Shanhe's abnormal demeanor, but as if he hadn't seen it, he greeted Liao Shanhe with a smile and a snack.

The way to control lies in the combination of grace and power, and the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven!

Looking back at the entire process of attacking the mountain, in fact, the death squad organized by Liao Shanhe did not suffer any casualties except for a few soldiers who broke their feet.

Of course, the consequence of the lack of casualties was that the Shu army camp was burned by the Xiongxiong fire for five days in a row, which seriously hindered the progress of the army.

Therefore, Liao Shanhe came to Li Zhongyi to ask for guilt as soon as possible. Because, although the fire was set by Wang Ken, he Liao Shanhe was the commander-in-chief of the entire campaign operation.

The pace of combat operations in this campaign is inconsistent, and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy must be responsible.

The reason why Li Zhongyi did not blame Liao Shanhe was that he had long considered the serious consequences of throwing cocktails to burn the Shu army camp.

With the strength of the Shu army, coupled with the dangerous terrain of Yangping Pass, even if the Han army is brave and strong, if it is attacked head-on, the number of casualties cannot be less than 1,000.

Although it is said that the soldiers will inevitably die in battle. However, since there is a return cannon + cocktail, reducing the losses of the Han army as much as possible has become Li Zhongyi's priority.

Soil erosion that burns out forests?

I'm sorry, Li Zhongyi can't think about it so much for the time being. Trees can be recruited by farmers to plant in the future, but the brave soldiers who will die will have one less.

Liao Shanhe had just eaten a piece of dim sum, and a relative tooth came in to report to Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang leaned into Li Zhongyi's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, Wang Ken is here, so he kneels at the gate of the Yuan." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and ordered: "You go in person, help him up, and tell him by the way, fill his stomach first, and then talk about anything else." ”

When Liao Shanhe heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, it seems that the emperor didn't blame Wang Ken, that's good, that's good.

"Wechen is guilty, and the sin is unforgivable." As soon as Wang Ken entered the tent, he knelt down and frequently kowtowed to plead guilty.

Li Zhongyi raised his eyes and couldn't help but smile slightly, Wang Ken's routine was roughly similar to Liao Shanhe, and he came to bear the guilt of Jing Ren.

Gao Qiang took Li Zhongyi's eyes, walked over, kicked Wang Ken's buttocks, and scolded: "Don't come to this set, hurry up and put on your robes, and then go back to eat snacks." ”

Like Liao Shanhe, after Wang Ken was kicked, not only was he not depressed, but he got up happily, arched his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
