When Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai heard the voice, they all had a worried face.

Judging from the topography of Boyang County, Changbi Mountain and Huangniling are like the border of Boyang County entrenched before and after the long dragon and tiger, protecting the stability of Jingliang City.

However, what kind of goods are the county soldiers who came from Jianzhou and Rongzhou?

Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai know very well.

When he was in northern Xinjiang, the Mu family army led by Mu Heng did not die in battle, and the whole army returned to Jianzhou safely.

Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai were willing to lead the Mu family army, which had rich battlefield experience and strong combat power, to Changbi Mountain and Huangniling, and took advantage of the rugged terrain of the two places to resist the Qin army.

The county soldiers in various places were like local chickens and dogs, lacking combat experience, so they led them to Changbi Mountain, Huangniling to set up defenses, and resist the invincible Qin army in the battlefield.

Once the defense lines of the two places were defeated, Lin Jianlu commanded the Qin army to come outside Jingliang City, and Mu Hengyan could forgive them.

Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai are also like mirrors, the Mu family army is good at fighting and the fierce generals are buried in the northern Xinjiang, and the few generals gathered in the hall are the only ones who have combat experience, and the other generals can't support the wall in the mud.

Anti-Qin!

Protect the frontier!

Several county generals were overwhelmed, and in the end, they had to lead their troops into the two places to meet the Qin army and defend the country.

Silent!

There was a surprising silence in the hall!

It's as quiet as the wilderness of the northern part of the winter season, and there is no sound.

After a long time, Guo Mang glanced at the corners of his eyes, glanced at the robes in the hall, and found that the generals were silent and unmoving.

On the high platform, Mu Heng stood upright, his cold face like an icicle, which made people afraid.

Ahem!

Guo Mang coughed lightly, stepped out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, when Jianzhou is in danger, the last general is willing to lead the army to Changbi Mountain, deploy defenses along the mountain, and resist the Qin army led by Lin Jianlu. However, the Qin and Qin armies were good at fighting and were in full swing, and the soldiers of all counties usually lacked training and had little combat experience.

The last general asked to bring 70,000 county soldiers here, and it is estimated that he can barely delay the pace of Lin Jianyu, otherwise, the last general will not dare to go. ”

Guo Mang said the ugly words in advance, even if he returned in the future, Mu Heng would not be able to hold him accountable.

What's more, when the number of Qin troops is equal, the county soldiers cannot defeat the Qin army.

"Good!"

Mu Heng readily agreed.

At this time, Zhang Yantai hurriedly came out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said: "Great commander, the last general is willing to lead the troops to Huangniling." ”

Mu Heng's gaze was like a sharp knife, and he swept over Zhang Yantai two or three times.

The meaning is self-evident!

Zhang Yantai pretended to be stupid and stunned again, indifferent, for fear that Mu Heng would be dissatisfied.

Today, Guo Mang led the army to Changbi Mountain to set up defenses, and the location was in Huangniling, and Lin Jianlu led the army to the west, and Guo Mang was also in the east.

Even if Lin Jian Law led the army to inflict heavy losses on the county soldiers of Changbi Mountain and broke through the defense line deployed by Guo Mang, when the Qin army arrived at Huangniling, it was also a tired division.

The county soldiers of Huangniling were erected like copper walls in the east of Jingliang City, protecting the security of the Jianzhou Prefecture and maintaining the rule of the Mu family in Jianzhou.

"Good!"

Zhang Yantai was willing to lead the army to Huangniling, and the soldiers of the two roads were deployed in the two places, and two barriers were formed in front of the Qin army advancing westward, and Mu Heng was secretly relieved when he heard it.

At this time, he was most afraid that there were many generals under his command, but there were not many good fighters, and there were no strong generals who were in charge alone.

Today, Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai spontaneously asked for orders and led the army to the expedition, which greatly alleviated Mu Heng's anxiety.

Mu Heng cleared his throat and said in a sonorous voice: "Guo Mang, you lead 70,000 county soldiers to Changbi Mountain, deploy defense in the local area as soon as possible, and this commander will notify the mountain bandits near Changbi Mountain to assist you in resisting the Qin army."

Zhang Yantai, you led 10,000 county soldiers to Huangniling to fortify first, and when the Sichuan county soldiers led by General Han arrived, the commander ordered him to assist you in arranging defenses!

In this battle, General Guo and General Zhang, no matter what the price is, you must hold on for more than a month and buy time for your brother! ”

In Jianzhou, there are all inexperienced county soldiers, resisting Qin and protecting Xinjiang, and there is almost no chance of victory.

In this battle, Mu Heng had discussed with Mu Yi, Mu Yi returned to Rongzhou, gathered the Mu family army that was deployed in southern Xinjiang to guard against the Southern Jin Dynasty, and sent envoys to the Southern Jin Dynasty with heavy money to borrow the elite of the Southern Jin Dynasty to help the Mu family tide over the difficulties.

At present, the Mu army in southern Xinjiang is rapidly heading north, and the envoy has also arrived in the Southern Jin Dynasty and is negotiating with the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

This move was a heavy price for the Mu family, but it was worth it to be able to gather the Mu family's army, to borrow the elite of the Southern Jin Dynasty, unite with each other to resist the Qin army, and keep the three states controlled by the Mu family, no matter how much it cost.

Therefore, Mu Heng sat in Jianzhou, and only needed to delay the Qin army and limit Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe to the east of Jingliang City.

In the future, the Mu family army and the Southern Jin Dynasty will rush to the army, and there may be a chance to recover Hanhai County, Changliu County, and Boyang County, ensuring that Jianzhou is still under the control of the Mu family.

"Whoa!"

Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai received the order, and after selecting the generals, they immediately rushed to the military camp to transfer troops and dispatch generals, and went to Changbi Mountain and Huangniling non-stop.

Time waits for no man!

Soldiers, you are fast!

If you delay for half a day, Lin Jianlu may march dozens of miles more, or you may capture a city.

If Lin Jianlu led the army to invade and occupy Jianzhou, seize the city, and buy people's hearts, the situation of Jianzhou will become more and more precarious.

Guo Mang and Zhang Yantai gathered the county soldiers and marched quickly.

Jingliang City Tower, Mu Heng saw Guo Mang, Zhang Yantai led the army away, Mu Heng's face was cold, and he told the general: "Order the Mu family army in the city to guard the city day and night, and take turns to defend." In addition, intensify the investigation of people entering the city, but if you find strangers and strange people, you would rather kill them by mistake than forgive. ”

Jingliang City is the capital of Jianzhou, and there is a large amount of money, grain, and ordnance stored in the city, and Mu Heng is afraid that Lin Jianlu will arrange for the Qin army to sneak into the city and cause chaos in the city.

"Whoa!"

Partial will be ordered.

When Mu Heng turned around and walked towards the city, he continued: "Send someone to secretly monitor the families in the city to prevent them from secretly interacting with the Qin army. ”

The fall of Mucheng was due to the collusion of the families in the city with the Qin army, which led to the well-guarded city falling into the hands of Lin Jianlu.

Mu Heng knows the attitude of the Jianzhou family towards the Mu family, and he knows the attitude of the family in Jingliang City towards the Mu family, he can't repeat the mistakes of the past and let Lin Jianlu take advantage.

"Whoa!" The general nodded.

When he was about to leave, the general suddenly asked Mu Heng: "Dashuai, whether you have arrested the patriarchs of the various families in Jingliang City into the mansion, and the families stay in the mansion, even if the families in the city are dissatisfied with the marshal, even if they know that Lin Jianlu is leading the army to come, they will definitely not dare to secretly collude with the Qin army in consideration of the safety of their own family patriarchs!" ”

Catch the patriarch?

Do blackmail?

Mu Heng almost didn't hesitate, nodded heavily and said: "You're right, I think it's very necessary, take the heads of the families, Ben Shuai has to take a look, who of them dares to make trouble." ”

.....

Huang Ni Ling!

100 miles away from Jingliang City!

It is the first gateway to Jingliang City, and it is also the last line of defense when killed from the Eastern Front.

When Zhang Yantai led 10,000 county soldiers to arrive, he personally led the army to reconnoiter around, and finally, he chose a place that could not only intercept the Qin army, but also condescendingly, and not be threatened by the Qin army.

With this!

Guo Mang led the army to march more than 300 miles eastward, and when it was about to reach the eastern edge of Boyang County, the army stopped rushing and stopped at the foot of a mountain.

This place is exactly what Guo Mang said about Changbi Mountain.

Changbi Mountain extends hundreds of miles from north to south, like a giant dragon lying horizontally in the center of Jianzhou, directly separating the three counties of Hanhai County, Boyang County and Changliu County from the center.

To get from Hanhai County to Boyang County, you must pass through several valleys in the Changbi Mountains, the most famous of which is the Long Snake Valley.

The Long Snake Valley, stretching for dozens of miles, is like a long snake together with Hanhai County and Boyang County.

In the valley, with the exception of a few places, the terrain is mostly flat, making it ideal for passing caravans with their goods.

However, there are two places in the Long Snake Valley that are very narrow, and only more than ten people can pass at a time, which does not affect the caravan at all, but it is not easy for the army killed from Hanhai County to pass through the Long Snake Valley.

If the army did not venture through here, they would have to climb over the Changbi Mountain. Not only did it take longer, but it was also threatened by miasma in the mountains, and the number of people who eventually lost was even greater.

In the past, when Mu Jiaping rebelled against the rebel army, a rebel army tried to climb the vast Changbi Mountain, quietly appeared outside Jingliang City, and severely damaged the Mu family's army, but unfortunately, in the end, this army did not go out of Changbi Mountain.

Nearly 10,000 people, except for half of them lost in the mountain, the rest of the people could not stand the miasma in the mountain after entering the mountain, and had to withdraw from Changbi Mountain.

Judging from the information sent back by the scouts and the Qin army's killing of the mountain bandits, Lin Jianlu led the army to prepare to cross the Long Snake Valley and enter Boyang County, and the soldiers directly threatened Jingliang City.

Guo Mang led 70,000 county soldiers to come here, although the county soldiers under his command did not have half the combat effectiveness compared to the Qin army, but the terrain of Changbi Mountain was too good, if he seized the opportunity to fortify on the front line of the Long Snake Valley, he would definitely be able to severely damage the Qin army in the forest.

Even if he can't completely annihilate the Qin army, he can still block the Qin army in the eastern part of Changbi Mountain and buy time for Mu Yi.

The army entered the mountains and arrived at the Long Snake Valley, Guo Mang personally led people to reconnoiter the nearby terrain, chose a suitable place to arrange troops, and tried to hide all the 70,000 soldiers he brought in the mountains.

When Lin Jianlu led the army to arrive, he attacked him unprepared and killed him, and taught the Qin army a hard lesson.

In order to keep abreast of the movements of the Qin army led by Lin Jianlu, Guo Mang deliberately sent a large number of scouts to monitor the Qin army day and night.

Wait for the prey to die for itself.

In just half a day, Guo Mang ordered the army, with the help of the trees in the mountains, 70,000 county soldiers were deployed on both sides of the Long Snake Valley.

The whole valley has been reduced to the valley of death.

Lin Jianlu led the army into the valley, and did not want to lead the Qin army to leave.

At this time, Guo Mang was leading several generals to gather in the makeshift military tent, Guo Mang's face was cold, his eyes glanced at several generals in the military tent, and said loudly: "This time, the marshal sent us to reprimand Changbi Mountain, how serious the situation is, I believe that the generals present all understand, I don't care where you were stationed in the past, what position you held, what your family status is, this time with this general to defend Changbi Mountain, but if anyone dares to take it lightly, underestimate the enemy's carelessness, don't blame this general's law!" ”

In the military tent, although several generals had not worked with Guo Mang before, they also knew the situation of the Mu family's army.

In this army, military discipline from top to bottom is not strict, and it is common for generals to punish them at will.

Now, Guo Mang led the army to sit in Changbi Mountain, if they underestimated the enemy and were caught by Guo Mang, I believe that Guo Mang would definitely not easily forgive them.

"General Guo, please defend the line, we will fully cooperate with General Guo to resist the enemy!" Several generals looked panicked and did not dare to disobey Guo Mang's military orders.

At this time, Guo Mang continued: "According to the news from the scouts before we set off, Lin Jianlu led the Qin army, and it may come in two days, and within these two days, everyone will cheer up the general, whether it is a caravan or a passing mountain people, all of them will be detained, and no one can cross the Long Snake Valley until the Qin army is annihilated!" ”

"Whoa!"

Several generals said in unison.

Guo Mang knew Mu Heng, although Mu Heng promised to give him 70,000 county soldiers and let him defend this place.

Before the march, he also specially told Mu Heng that under the current situation, it would be difficult for the county soldiers to defend Changbi Mountain, and if Mu Heng was defeated, he would not be held responsible.

However, if he led the army to be defeated, and 70,000 soldiers were lost here, and he returned to Jingliang City in the future, Mu Heng would definitely kill him to set an example.

Therefore, Guo Mang came and did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

When several generals were silent, a general suddenly asked: "General, we led the army to hide on both sides of the Long Snake Valley, condescendingly, ambushing the Qin army, the last general dared to suggest, is it with the help of the temporary trees, as soon as possible in the valley to set up defenses, and when the Qin army comes, light the dry wood in the valley, and take the opportunity to expand the results!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Mang nodded and said: "Your suggestion is good, you can do this, then, you can do it, if you can severely damage the Qin army, I will personally ask the marshal to give you credit!" ”

"General Xie!"

"General, the last general suggested that a large number of boulders be prepared at the end of the valley, wait for Lin Jianlu to lead the army into the valley, and seal the retreat of the Qin army with the help of the boulders, when the time comes, it will be easier to kill the Qin army, and it can also completely annihilate the Qin army!" There are generals who make their own proposals!

Guo Mang heard the sound and nodded: "Not only to seal the end of the valley, but also to seal the front of the valley, but if the Qin army breaks into the valley, don't want to leave alive." You will arrange this matter personally. ”

Although fighting against the Qin army, there was little hope of victory, but Guo Mang did not want to let go of the slightest chance of victory.

He not only had to consider Mu Heng's attitude, but also his own safety.

Therefore, if he can kill Lin Jianlu and annihilate the Qin army, he will definitely not miss the opportunity.

In silence, the guards outside walked in, bowed and said, "General, Commander Lin is here!" ”

Commander Lin?

Hearing the sound, Guo Mang frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized.

Lin Daqing, a mountain bandit who has been entrenched in the front line of Changbi Mountain all the year round, before he led the army to the battle, Mu Heng said that he ordered the mountain bandits of Changbi Mountain to assist him in fighting against the Qin army.

At this time, Lin Daqing appeared in the barracks, presumably because Lin Daqing received the news from Mu Heng and led the army to come.

Lin Dajun led the mountain bandits to live in Changbi Mountain all the year round, and was very familiar with the terrain here, and with his help, Guo Mang felt that his chances of winning had improved a lot.
