Chapter 94: The Battle of Guanzhong

In June, the weather in Guanzhong gradually became hotter. But under this situation, what makes people feel even more suffocating is probably the strong atmosphere of war.

Fu Qin's encirclement was completely formed two days later, and along the Bashui coast, where Li Xin was sitting, nearly 17,000 people gathered Fu Qin's main force. In the area north of Bacheng to Xinfeng County, Fu Fei and Fu Liu are attacking, and on the north bank of Weishui, there are two brothers, Fu Jian and Fu Fa.

And Li Xin put five battalions of troops here in Bacheng, and the section where Xinfeng went to the Lishui defense line, that is, the place where Fu Jing and Fu Fa set up camp when they attacked the Huashan army, he gave up directly at this time.

In this way, the Fu Qin army could directly cross the Weishui there, and then attack the Lishui defense line to the east and Xinfeng County directly to the west. But this is a good thing for Li Xin, because if he really wants to defend the Weishui coast from Huayin to Bacheng on the whole line, the Huashan Army will not have so many troops at all.

After abandoning this part of the area, the Fu Qin army will concentrate on this part as much as possible. But this place is where the urban area of Weinan City is located in the later generations. It has a characteristic that it is a place of sharp contraction, whether it is Xinfeng County in the west or the water defense line in the east.

Originally, in the urban area of Weinan City, from the river bank in the north to the high slope of the mound in the south, it was more than ten miles wide. But when I got to Xinfeng County and the water defense line, it suddenly became only three or four miles wide.

After more than a year of construction, the water defense line is already very strong. Similarly, there is a Xinfeng county town east of Bacheng, and if the enemy wants to fight from the east to Bacheng, he must first attack Xinfeng County.

For Li Xin, temporarily giving up the protruding place in the middle and sticking to the two ends is like tying up the two ends of a pocket. As long as he uses a small number of troops, he can hold back the 5,000 troops of Fu Fei and Fu Liu, and then deal with the war in other places with all his might.

"General, the enemy has already begun to attack, and this time they are attacking with much caution. The first wave was all based on bows and arrows and trebuchets, and basically focused on the shore of Bashui to force our soldiers back and buy them time to land! "The battle started on the morning of the third day, and as soon as the battle began, the entire area around the overlord was enveloped in shouts of killing, and Hu Yanxin followed Li Xin at this time to report to him the battle situation on the front line.

"It's not surprising that with their troops, if they can't set foot on our land, they won't be able to give full play to any advantages at all. Fortunately, this water is wide enough, otherwise, the opposite side of the ten thousand arrows can cover our side, that is the most terrifying thing! Li Xin nodded, standing on the watchtower that he had rushed out before, he could see the battle situation around the entire overlord, and at the same time, he was also here to give orders.

Judging from the current situation, the place west of the city is controlled by Fu Xiong himself. Therefore, after the fight, the opponent's attack has always been decent, not impatient. On one side, the bridgehead is constantly being attacked, and on the other side, pontoon bridges are constantly being erected into the river, preparing to build more passages.

However, although the overall situation is like this, Fu Xiong has many fierce generals. Especially that Fu Sheng, at this moment, took the lead in the charge, holding an iron shield in one hand, a spear in the other, and a team of personal soldiers, struggling to kill towards the bridge.

With his bravery, coupled with this lifeless energy, unless it is a fierce general like Li Erhei who plays in person, otherwise, ordinary people really can't stop it. Fortunately, the Huashan army guarding at this time did not have to fight him directly, and when they rushed to the bridgehead, the soldiers defending on the east bank directly covered the past with bows and arrows from the north and south, and Fu Sheng had to retreat first even if he had a shield in his hand.

The bridge has been around for a long time, and it is a passage between the two banks of the river. In the previous discussion, everyone actually discussed whether to destroy the bridge, but after a while, it was decided to stay.

After all, this bridge can not only be used by enemy troops, but also can be used by oneself at a critical time. In case of a big change in the situation on the battlefield, isn't it just right for your side? In addition, if there is such a bridge, then when the enemy attacks, it will be like a magnet that will attract the enemy here, just like the current Fu Sheng.

Li Xin had 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus more than 3,000 horses in Huyan's hands, and there were more than 8,000 people together. He placed 4,000 of these troops along the east bank of Bashui, 3,000 on the south bank of Weishui, and the remaining 1,000 on the defense of Xinfeng County! In addition, some of the people of Bacheng were also mobilized and asked them to help transport supplies.

These days, Li Xin has not been idle, because he has already expected that the enemy may launch a big attack on him, so he has already made some preparations that should be made.

"Weishui is wide, so for the time being, don't worry too much about the north shore. Fu Fei and Fu Liu divided their troops, and Fu Fei led 2,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xinfeng County, so there was no need to worry for the time being. Speaking of which, it is still Fu Xiong in the west who is the most dangerous! However, there are many enemies, and if we continue to besiege the city, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to me, so I must act quickly! After looking at the surrounding situation, Li Xin couldn't help but think.

The people in the city are poor, and at this time, Fu Xiong is eager for revenge, so he will attack so fiercely. Once they calm down, I'm afraid they will switch to another means, such as blockading the surroundings of the overlord, in this way, the overlord will not last without foreign aid.

If these more than 8,000 soldiers plus the common people, more than 10,000 people, without food support, will collapse without a fight after a long time, Li Xin does not want to see such a situation.

"Brother Huyan, the enemy is strong and menacing, defense is certainly a good way, but it will be harmed after a long time! Therefore, I am determined to take the initiative and kill the enemy's spirit! There were people leading the battle on the defensive lines around him, and Li Xin didn't have to go down in person for a while, so he said to Hu Yanfu and Hu Yangchi, who were watching the battle.

"What does the general have in mind?" Hearing this, Hu Yanfu and Hu Yangchi thought it was true, they were all people who had guarded the city, so they naturally understood the key to this.

"Look over there! What do you see? Li Xin raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Xinfeng County and asked.

"That's Xinfeng County! In addition to Weishui in the north and Xinfeng County, only Lishan and Tuyuan are left in the south. The two of them looked in the direction he was pointing and couldn't help but wonder.

"It is the land of the mound, which is located in the south of Xinfeng County, adjacent to the county seat. I plan to take people from that place, make a detour to the east of Xinfeng County, and then attack the Fu Fei army. Let's come out condescendingly, coupled with the help of the defenders of Xinfeng County, when the time comes, we will go all out to flank Fu Fei's 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the harvest should be not small! Li Xin nodded and said what was in his heart.

Lishan is the place where Qin Shi Huang built his tomb, and the Huaqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty was there. Of course, there are many famous places in that place, Lishan is in the south of Lintong District in the later generations, but on the mound on the top of Lishan Mountain, it is the place where the famous terracotta warriors and horses are located.

And the place near Xinfeng County, there is also a famous place called Hongmen. It is the place where Liu Bang escaped from Xiang Yu and sang the eternal Hongmen banquet.

This mound stretches from east to west, originating at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the river valley through which the water flows is also considered to be part of this vast area. Xinfeng County is at the foot of this mound, and after the mound reaches this side, it has become quite a long and narrow section because of the relationship between Lishan. It just so happens that one section is west of Xinfeng County, and most of it is to the east.

From the Lintong District of later generations, you can directly climb this high slope of the mound, and then pass the place where the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are located, of course, no one knows that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are here at this time. Then detour to the place of Hongmen, and then quietly lurk along the edge of the mound, find a suitable place to go down the mountain, detour to the back of Fu Fei's army, and suddenly kill him, he will definitely be caught off guard.

Hearing such a plan, Hu Yanyu and Hu Yangchi couldn't help but think for a while. For them, if they can take the initiative to fight while defending the city, this is a bit out of their habits.

However, after thinking about it for a while, they also had to admit that although this method was a bit risky, it was indeed a clever trick. Especially judging from the current situation, Fu Fei over there has just arrived to the east of Xinfeng County, and he has not yet had time to discover this road under the hurried siege of the city.

But if he can't attack for a long time, I'm afraid he will find another way out. When the time came, he couldn't say that he would discover this road, and he successfully bypassed Xinfeng County and went to Bacheng. This is a big disadvantage for the defending side.

"This plan is very good, but the terrain above the hill is uneven, the mountains are rugged, and it is not easy for us to get around! How many people is the unknown general going to take with him? After thinking for a while, Hu Yanfu said.

"Soldiers are not expensive! I went here just to catch him off guard, so I didn't plan to bring many people over, only about 300 people! Will you go with you? Li Xin said.

"The subordinates are willing to listen to the military order and go with the general to kill the enemy!" Hearing this, the two hurriedly hugged their fists.

"Well, in that case, go down and get ready! Tonight, let's go! Li Xin nodded and commanded.

The two hurriedly walked down the watchtower, each preparing to go, while Li Xin continued to pay attention to the surrounding battle situation. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
