Chongshan County

Yan Kui has completely become an idler.

Under the deliberate suppression of the main general Hong Guangbing, Yan Kui, the vanguard of the anti-bandit army, was kicked out of the army and installed a post of commander of the rear army who didn't know where to speak.

Let him go and take the new army to exterminate the small bandits?

You must know that Yan Kui and the new army of the Sanxian militia under his command have made many military exploits before, and they have fought here in Heifengling and White Snake Valley, and they can fight well, not inferior to the army of bandits.

Such a fierce general, not to take the main battlefield to deal with the first line of heaven, actually let them go to the county patrol Ding militia to kill the small group of bandits, to say that killing chickens with a knife is considered a condescension.

But there was no way, General Hong's military order was like this, and Yan Kui couldn't disobey the order, so he had to take people around the mountains and mountains in Chongshan County.

But there are no small bandits in Chongshan County now.

Even if there were, when I heard Yan Kui's reputation, I ran away, Yan Kui was walking around with the new army for more than half a month, Mao didn't see him, and when he came back, General Hong gave him an "important" errand.

Look at the grain and grass.

Well, to put it bluntly, I just don't let you show your face.

There is no way, Yan Kui can only stay in the barracks, transport grain and grass by air, and practice and drill new soldiers at other times, and write a love letter to his daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door from time to time.

Although the life is leisurely, it is quite comfortable............

……………

Yan Kui lived a leisurely and comfortable life, while Hong Guangbing was obviously not as carefree as him.

Although this has indeed cleared the bandits for the people of the three counties and created a good public security environment, at the same time, he also resolutely took refuge in the last base camp of the bandits in the mountains and the mountains of the first line of heaven.

The strength of the Xia family's father and son has skyrocketed.

Originally, there were only more than 2,000 but less than 3,000 minions in the first line of heaven, but with the majority of the small bandits in Chongshan County, the small group of bandits who escaped from Teng County, and the few remnants of the bandits in Qingyuan, the number of bandits in the first line of heaven now has exceeded the 4,000 mark.

More than 4,000 people!

The entire army of bandits, including the new army under Yan Kui and the three county yacha, patrol ding, and Qingzhuang, adds up to less than 15,000.

Three to one, field battles are okay.

Besiege?

The battle damage is more than this proportion,

Not to mention the first-line sky, which is the most dangerous terrain in Tong'an, Hong Guangbing, who has ten times the number of troops, may not dare to pack a ticket, let alone now.

However, if you don't have the confidence, you have to fight, besides, you don't necessarily need to attack if you win a line of sky, so didn't Yan Kui also make a clever plan to defeat the White Snake Valley and the Black Wind Ridge.

Hong Guangbing comforted himself, and then led his troops to the first line of heaven and personally inspected the terrain.

Lao Hong was depressed............

…………

Here we want to focus on the topography of the first line of heaven, since this place is known as the first risk in Tong'an, and even ranks in the top three in the entire Yongzhou, then there must be its advantages.

So where is the place where the first line of heaven is surpassed, that is, this mountain is a first-class place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The terrain of the first line of heaven is about this, the whole mountain is like a pillar, except for the top of the mountain, all around it are cliffs.

And this cliff is not like the White Snake Valley, there are wall stone pits, you can climb with strength, and the height is only 20 zhang, choose the elite soldiers who are good at climbing carefully for a period of time, you can climb successfully.

The cliff of the first line of the sky is smooth throughout, it is impossible to climb by strength at all, even if there is a master of flying eaves and walking on the wall, this mountain is more than 100 zhang high, and the physical strength of people can not insist on climbing up at all, even if it is lucky to go up the mountain, there is no strength to kill the enemy.

So, this mountain is so terrainous, so how can you go up the mountain, the thing is this, although this mountain is smooth as a column, but from the foot of the mountain, there is a crack several zhang deep, this crack slowly opens up along the mountain, the more up the crack is shallower, the width is narrower, until it is close to the top of the mountain, the crack disappears.

About 40 years ago, this mountain was still a barren mountain that no one cared about, and later, Xia Xi, the father of Xia Zhenshan, who is now a big boss in the sky, led his family and villagers to Chongshan County to escape the war, and found the topography of this mountain, and immediately moved his mind.

…………

Xia Xi took a kind of relatives and friends, and spent three years to open a road to the mountain according to the crack, and successfully opened a tunnel between this crack and the top of the mountain, and the group was able to settle down on the top of the mountain.

Later, because of the early establishment of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the local official system was not yet mature, resulting in many officials acting unscrupulously.

In order to protect themselves, Xia Xi and his group defeated the official army according to the terrain of this mountain, but they were defined as bandits by the county order.

Xia Xi attached great importance to that crack as an important line of defense for this mountain, and while expanding the connection between the top of the mountain and the crack, he made it more difficult to reach the crack at the bottom of the mountain, and at the same time, he did not forget to build fortifications on this crack.

Later, Xia Xi died, Xia Zhenshan succeeded to the throne, continued to abide by his father's will, and constantly reformed the defense of the crack, after nearly 40 years of hard work of the father and son, this crack is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Especially the crack of about ten zhang in the middle can be called Jedi, the average width of both sides is only about one zhang, almost only for three people to go up at the same time, as long as a team of men and horses is sent above to firmly guard the exit, no matter how many people can attack.

It is precisely because of this "road" of more than ten zhang that someone gave this mountain a first-line nickname, and later it spread, and everyone also called this name.

After that, the official army attacked several times, but was easily repelled by the Xia family, and the reputation of the first line of heaven became famous, and countless people came to defect, and the Xia family became more and more powerful, becoming the head of the Chongshan bandits.

The reason why the first line of heaven is called the first risk of Tong'an, the so-called "risk" refers to its strange terrain, and the second is to refer to the bandits in the first line of sky.

There is a mountain risk, and people are more dangerous............

…………

However, what exactly does the meaning of Tong'an No. 1 Insurance have nothing to do with Hong Guangbing, what he is worried about now is how to take down this Tong'an No. 1 Insurance.

To be honest, after Lao Hong explored the first-line heaven and earth situation, he really regretted taking this errand, and it was better to let Cao Lao Liu take it away.

Grandma's, how to fight this battle, just by pointing to the terrain, the officers and soldiers are not at all sure of attacking, and the fucking Xia family has also built countless fortifications on the mountain.

This is the result of forty years of father and son, and the cracks are densely packed with arrow towers, mechanisms, wood, and rolling stones, and Hong Guangbing suspects that there are not as many defensive ordnance on the walls of Tong'anfu City as here.

Tsk, crazy old hedgehog - I can't put my mouth to it.........

Lao Hong held back at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, but he didn't think of any good ideas, so he had no choice but to wave his troops to attack.

The first line of the day has been prepared for a long time, and the officials and soldiers will fight when they come up, not to mention the "first line of the sky" that depends on the fame, and the bandit army has not even attacked the mountainside, but it was beaten down by the bandits.

The next day, Hong Guangbing waved his troops to fight again, and the result was the same as always, just like that, Hong Guangbing attacked day by day, resting for two days every 10 days, starting from the end of February, and fighting until the end of March, except for throwing down thousands of corpses in vain, there was no progress at all.

…………

Although Yan Kui was leisurely in the rear, he still paid more attention to the front-line war, and seeing that the attack on the mountain was not effective, he still went to Hong Guangbing to ask for battle in a decent manner, but he was thought by General Hong that he was provoking.

Well, it's not wrong for him to think so, Yan Kui does mean to look at his jokes.........

Yan is not an open-minded person, he was suppressed by Hong Guangbing for a while, and he was already unhappy in his heart, and now seeing that Lao Hong is deflated, he naturally wants to come over in person to add fuel to the fire.

But no matter what you say, Yan Kui is still Lao Hong's subordinate, so Yan Kui came to provoke, and the end was naturally not too good-looking.

He was severely reprimanded by the annoyed and angry Hong Guangbing in front of the generals, and then, Lao Hong asked Yan Kui to go back and take care of the army's food, and he didn't want to worry about attacking the mountain.

Tut~

But he didn't want to, Lao Hong did this exactly what Yan Kui wanted, the first-line heaven and earth were so dangerous, it was not a conventional way to capture it at all, even if he went up, it was estimated that it would be a waste of the lives of his corporaries, rather than this, he might as well sit in the rear.

So, Yan Kui, who was scolded in the handsome tent, returned to his home station and immediately smiled like a flower.

And since then, Yan Kui has asked people to listen to the front-line battle reports every day, and when he sees Lao Hong's unlucky appearance of being forced by the front-line bandits, let alone eat more.

At the end of March, Yan Kui measured his weight by weighing the pig's sitting scale, and found that he had gained four pounds during the time he was sent to the army.

This battle was fought.........

Yan Kui smacked his touch, not knowing what words to use to describe it.
