The southeast of Chang'an, Lantian, Lantian City at the end of the west side of Wuguan Road, became the front line of the Sui army to resist the Zhou army, a day ago, the Zhou army broke through the Lantian Pass in the southeast of Lantian Pass, and the Sui army that reinforced Lantian Pass immediately garrisoned in Lantian and sent an urgent report to Chang'an City not far away.

More than a month ago, the Shannan Zhou army marched to Wuguan, and the previous march was not unfast, and it took nearly a month to reach Wuguan, which was the effect of the Sui army's raids along the way.

As a result, the Zhou army quickly broke through Wuguan, and then ambushed the Sui army that reinforced Wuguan halfway, and then the marching speed suddenly accelerated, broke through Shangzhou, and rushed to Lantian Pass.

Lantian Pass was followed by Lantian Pass, and at this time the Zhou army was less than fifty miles away from Chang'an, the capital of the Sui State.

The Zhou army crossed the Qinling Mountains and approached the capital, Chang'an was shaken, and the Son of Heaven was going to drive the expedition in person, but he gave up under the persuasion of the ministers, and then took the prince Yang Yong as the main commander, and the Bohai County Gong Gao Gong as the deputy, and led the army to Lantian.

The Son of Heaven sat in Chang'an and took strict precautions to avoid chaos in the Zhou army in the city.

"What does Bohai Gong mean is that the Zhou army must have an internal response?"

"Exactly, what if Zhou Jun breaks through Lantian? What if the soldiers are under the city of Chang'an? Without internal response, where can they capture Chang'an? ”

In the big tent, the crown prince Yang Yongzheng was having a secret conversation with Gao Xi, the prince of Bohai County, and the stakes were very high, and they had to act cautiously.

"So the confrontation between our army and the Zhou army in Lantian will make the people of Chang'an unstable?"

"No, as long as our army confronts the Zhou army here, the longer it drags on, the more advantageous it will be, Your Majesty has already mobilized reinforcements from nearby states, and it will be possible to arrive in Chang'an in a few days, Your Highness should not fight easily, lest you fall for the Zhou army's plan."

Yang Yong didn't know the soldiers, so Gao Xi pointed at the map and put what he thought in his heart.

The attacking Zhou army wants to fight a quick battle, if they start a decisive battle with them, it will be in line with the other party's mind, Zhou Jun now seems to be very strong, but in fact, there is a great hidden danger.

The Zhou army in Lantian Pass needs to transport its grain and grass from Jingzhou, Shannan, hundreds of miles away, but the officers and troops of Lantian do not have this problem, because there is Chang'an behind them, and the other party cannot afford it.

This lone army, even if it rushes to the foot of Chang'an City, in the face of the officials and troops rushing from all directions, has no chance of winning at all, and the only hope is to take Chang'an before this.

No matter how much the Zhou army can fight, it is not a god, so to take Chang'an, you need to have internal help, so the idea of the Son of Heaven canceling the imperial expedition is to stay in the city to prevent those ghosts.

All kinds of indications show that the Zhou army must have been planning for a long time to fight like this, and if they want to succeed in the surprise attack, they must have internal response in Chang'an City to have an effect, otherwise they will be busy in vain.

For today's plan, it is necessary to stabilize the position and not panic, and when the surrounding officials and troops rush to Chang'an, this Zhou army can only retreat, and the officers and troops of Lantian do not need to go out of the city to fight, just block here.

Even if someone in Chang'an City launched a rebellion, without external support, those ghosts and spirits would have no chance to succeed.

"Your Majesty has already arranged it in the city, the palace, the city gates, and all the key places have henchmen to lead the troops, Your Highness does not need to panic, just hold here for a few days, and the situation will be reversed."

Yang Yong heard that he was a little determined in his heart, the stakes were very high, his victory or defeat in Lantian was related to the safety of Chang'an, once something went wrong, it would be the end of the eggs under the nest.

"Your Highness, Chang'an City must guard against spies, and our army has to guard against it, please don't meet with any generals alone, in case someone assassinates."

"It's okay, I'm wearing ring lock armor."

"Your Highness, please be cautious, this matter is not trivial."

Speaking of this, Yang Yong remembered one thing, according to the defeated army, the siege methods of the Zhou army were like a meteor rain of fire, which could be launched hundreds of steps outside the city, and the defenders could not fight back at all, so they were burned by the rain of fire falling from the sky.

It is rumored that this is witchcraft, but Yang Yong does not believe it, Shannan Zhou Jun likes to drum some strange weapons, when the trebuchet first came out, some people say that it is witchcraft.

There is also a thunderstorm, which is indeed a headache, and the Sui State tried his best to probe the mystery, but he has not been able to find out.

In the face of Yang Yong's worries, Gao Xi thought that the meteor fire shower should be a variant of the thunder, and it should also be inflammable things such as fire oil, and the attack distance was about hundreds of steps, as for why it could "fly", it was not known.

In order to avoid the attack on the military camp, the Sui army camped in the western suburbs of the city, and the soldiers were stationed in the city.

"Your Highness, the Zhou army is located one mile outside the city, even if you want to use a meteor shower, you can't hurt the camp on the outskirts of the west of the city according to the distance, as long as our army is on hold for a few days, you won't be afraid."

Gao Xi is both civil and military, is the humerus of the imperial court, the pillar of the country, Yang Yong saw that his analysis was the head of the road, and his heart was set a lot, Lantian guarded the main road, not only against the exit of Wuguan Road, the east is the mountain range, the west side is the Bailu Plateau, and Lantian is separated by a river, and the army is not easy to cross.

If the Zhou army divides Bailuyuan to outflank the south side of Chang'an, it is looking for death, only by breaking through Lantian can the other party approach the east side of Chang'an, Yang Yong made up his mind to defend Lantian for a few days, and he can make the other party's attempt completely ruined.

How did you come then, let me get back!"

。。。。。。

In the east of Lantian City, the position of the Zhou army, two-wheeled carriages are unloading, and strange sticks are carried down by the soldiers, and they come to the front position to begin to set up, which is the secret weapon of the Zhou army in Shannan, and the name is a little strange, called "Hale Rocket".

Each two-horse carriage could carry more than 60 rockets, and dozens of carriages traveled day and night along Wuguan Road, exhausting many horses to death, and finally arrived outside Lantian City in time.

Zhou Jun's commander, Qiguo Gongyu Wenliang, looked at Lantian City in front of him and wandered, this place was very familiar to him, he had to pass through Lantian when he traveled to and from Wuguan Road, but now he felt very different.

It's been six years, and he finally returned to Guanzhong, full of anger and army, and back!

The Great Zhou clan was almost killed by Yang Jian, and he and his two sons, a grandson, were left that year, and Yuwen Qiankeng, who was far away in Yecheng, had a deep sea of blood, and finally had a chance to report!

The four brothers of the Yuwen clan in Wuchuan Town: Yuwen Hao, Yuwen Lian, Yuwen Luosheng, and Yuwentai, now the descendants are withering, and the Yuwen Luosheng lineage has long been cut off, and the Yuwentai lineage only survives the young emperor Yuwen Qiankeng.

As the grandson of Yuwen Hao, Yu Wenliang has passed to the second uncle Yu Wenlian's son Yuwen Yuan Bao as an heir.

The people withered, all thanks to Yang Jian, and when he thought that the enemy was in Chang'an City not far away, Yu Wenliang gritted his teeth.

"Father, the rocket is ready."

Yu Wenming, the governor of Xiangzhou, came to report and added a message at the same time: "It has been found that the camp of the Sui army is in the western suburbs of Lantian City, and they have learned well and are not camped in the city." ”

"Is it within range?"

"It's been estimated, here."

"Very well, let's get started."

"Father, the rest of the rockets are here." Yu Wenming said, a little distressed, "I've saved it for so many years, but it's very fast to use." ”

Yu Wenliang looked at his son, then at the dense rockets, and then at Lantian City in front of him, although he was a little hesitant, he still made a decision: "If you can't take Lantian today, all the preparations you have made over the years will come to naught." ”

"Yes, my son understands!" (To be continued.) )
