Banshu.

Liu Wei stood in front of the military formation expressionlessly, since the division, the army began to march, it didn't take much effort in the early stage, it was basically swept sideways, after all, Yang Yinglong didn't have many people to put outside, and the place of the decisive battle must be placed in Yang Yinglong's lair.

Liu Wei sent troops from Qijiang to conquer Hongguan, Jiupanzi, Jiezhenxi, Shihu Pass, and arrived at Loushan Pass, except for Loushan Pass, other places did not make Liu Wei worry too much.

As the hereditary toast of Banshu, the Yang family has been operating in Banzhou for 29 generations, and it can be said that it is deeply rooted, and they are all too familiar with every plant and tree here.

Although Liu Wei arranged several people, but most of the other people and horses are local Tusi, which is basically a response, although it is not lively, but it is not much better, the main battlefield still depends on Liu Ling, and the route chosen by Liu Wei is also very clear, that is, to attack Loushan Pass.

The last time Wang Jiguang, the governor of Sichuan, attacked Loushan Pass, but he was defeated and lost, and his troops were defeated.

Loushan Pass, also known as Taipingguan, formerly known as Louguan, later known as Taipingguan, is located at the junction of Huichuan District and Tongzi County, and is an important pass on the Sichuan-Guizhou traffic artery. The origin of the name of Guan originates from the ancient name of the Loushan Mountain Range. It is 100 miles away from Zunyi in the south, at the junction of Huichuan District and Tongzi County, rejecting Bashu in the north and strangling Guizhou in the south, which is the throat of northern Guizhou and the place where soldiers must fight.

It is called natural insurance. Close thousands of peaks and thousands of thousands, heavy mountains and peaks, cliffs stand in absolute place, if the axe is like a halberd, pierce the sky, people call the first danger in northern Qianbei, known as "a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open" said.

Even if Liu Wei has confidence in his own people, he doesn't dare to underestimate Loushanguan in the face of it, this place is also fatal.

In later generations, there were also major battles here, the First Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Guizhou Army fought before Loushan Pass, and after repeated battles, two regiments of the Guizhou Army were annihilated. The prelude to the Battle of Zunyi was unveiled. The two battles of Loushanguan ensured the smooth convening of the Zunyi Conference and were important "red" bases in China.

Taizu also wrote poems, which is the famous "Remembering Qin'e Loushanguan".

The west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are called frost and morning moon. Frost and early moon, the sound of horses' hooves is broken, and the sound of trumpets is swallowed.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning. From the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Liu Wei faced Loushanguan at this time, and he was also worried in his heart, Yang Yinglong was not a fool, he defeated Wang Jiguang last time, this time the court sent a large army, and the Yang family had been operating in Banzhou for so many years, so they were naturally prepared. Yang Yinglong sent his son Yang Chaodong to set up thirteen fences and dig deep pits on the Loushan Pass, and guarded the pass with danger.

Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for Liu Wei to take Loushan Pass lightly, and Yang Chaodong was indeed very confident.

Drinking and having fun in Loushan all day long, he put on a look of not taking Liu Ling to heart, although he knew that Yang Chaodong was angry with himself, Liu Ling kept telling himself, don't be angry, don't be angry, but he still couldn't help but be angry, but Liu Ling didn't show it in front of everyone.

This time to attack Yang Yinglong, if he couldn't take Yang Yinglong with a thunderous momentum, Liu Wei felt that it was a failure.

summoned so many toasts in order to deter them and let them see that Yang Yinglong was also vulnerable in the face of the Ming Dynasty's strong army, so that they could be honest, otherwise how could they be honest. Now that everyone is looking at themselves, Liu Wei naturally doesn't seem to have been delayed for too long, does he know that he will have to fight Mang Yingli in the future, if even Yang Yinglong is so hard, what will the emperor think of himself?

"Get me the people from the artillery battalion!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice, the expression on his face was very serious.

In this case, the first thing Liu Ling thought of was the artillery battalion, and for Daming, the first thing that came to mind in the battle was the artillery battalion, and Liu Ling was naturally no exception. Soon the people from the artillery battalion came, the expression on their faces was very solemn, and after seeing Liu Ling, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "See the big handsome." ”

This person in the artillery battalion, Liu Wei, naturally knows him, and he is also a graduate of the Royal Lecture Martial Arts Hall, specializing in artillery, and he is Liu Ling's younger brother, named Zhang Yang.

Waving his hand, Liu Wei said directly: "There is no need to be polite at this time, I just want to ask you, is the artillery battalion sure to defeat Loushan Pass?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, I'm not sure!" Zhang Yang didn't hide it, and said directly: "Unless heavy artillery is used, it is basically impossible, but it is too difficult to transport heavy artillery." The mountains on both sides are also very steep, and it is impossible for artillery to be transported up, and it is estimated that light artillery will not be able to blow up Loushan Pass. ”

When Liu Wei heard Zhang Yang's words, his heart became even more irritable: "What about the gunpowder bag?" Is gunpowder bag okay? ”

"Just look at the city wall of Loushan Pass, here the Yang family has made great efforts, although the gunpowder cannon can be tried, but it is estimated that it is unlikely to succeed." Zhang Yang spoke again.

Liu Wei just wanted to say something, but suddenly a person came to his side, bowed down and said, "My lord, the military division of the capital is here, and I want to ask to see the marshal." ”

Hearing the words of the guard, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, the people of the Armed Forces Division? What are they doing here? However, Liu Wei did not dare to slack off, and now the status of the Armament Division in the Ming military is very high. Now the good things used in the Ming army are basically all from the Armament Division, and in this case, the Armament Division is naturally rising.

Liu Wei turned back to the camp and soon saw the person from the Wubei Division, a thin middle-aged man in his forties, who Liu Wei didn't know.

"Xiaguan Liu Wei has seen the handsome!" After seeing Liu Wei, Liu Wei bowed and saluted, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Liu Wei hurriedly greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hand to help Liu Wei up, and then said: "Lord Liu, the land of Banzhou is high and far away, I don't know what happened to Lord Liu?" ”

Although I don't know what Liu Wei of this Armed Forces Division is here to do, Liu Wei also knows that this person is definitely not here to make soy sauce, after all, Banzhou is a poor place. The biggest possibility is that they came to help, as for who asked them to come, it is better to guess, except for the emperor, no one can mobilize the people of the Armed Forces Division.

"Xia Guan came to Dashuai here to experiment with a new artillery piece by the emperor's holy decree." Liu Wei said with a smile, he didn't say that he was helping Liu Wei.

Although Liu Wei didn't say it, Liu Wei was excited, Liu Wei naturally knew that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was endless, and the power was getting bigger and bigger, and the new artillery would definitely be better than the previous one. Liu Ling, who was at a loss in the face of Loushan Pass, how could he not be excited when he heard that there was a new artillery.

"What kind of artillery?" Liu Wei looked at Liu Wei excitedly and asked loudly.

"It's a brand new artillery named Mortar!" Liu Wei didn't sell Guan Zi either, and replied directly.
