"The name of Sanguan originated from the country of Sanguan, Yin Shi Sanren, cough cough..., Yin Shi Sanren lived here, so the name of the pass was Sanguan, cough cough ......"

The summer day is not cool, and the generals and doctors attending the military meeting are crowded with the main sleeping court, even if there is an ice drink to cool the heat, the court still looks hot. Under the tremendous pressure of continuous fighting, unable to withstand any defeat, Si Yin Li was also old, and his voice seemed tired, although he coughed several times and tried to raise his tone, it was still not loud enough.

"There are many ways to cross the Qinling Mountains, but there is only one feasible boat, Chencang, and our army will pull out the pass." Guanzhong four stops, scattered pass is one of them, the Great Sima Mansion originally had a topographical sand table, but there were too many people in the court, and the sand table could not be erected, so Li and could only let people hang out a map of one in 500,000 and explain to the map.

"In the north of Sanguan, the water comes out of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and enters the Wei because of the road of the Zhou Valley, the water is about 100 miles long, and the boat is about 20 miles; To the south of Sanguan, the water flows out of the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the south of the Sanguan is twenty miles, and the water is already feasible. If this pass is pulled down by our army, it can be paved and dug for 40 miles, and the two-oared mid-wing war boat is dragged by a steam engine to pass through the pass, and then enter the Weishui ......"

The mountain roads that cross the Qinling Mountains all follow the river valleys, such as the Baoshui and Xieshui of the Bao Slope Road. Due to the great earthquake in Wudu at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Tianchi Daze was destroyed, and the water level dropped after that, and the upper reaches of the water could not be navigated. In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, it was planned to connect the Baoshui with the inclined water to replace the Chencang Waterway, but unfortunately the Baoshui Road could not be changed into a waterway with the technology at that time, so it had to be abandoned.

After the earthquake, the upper reaches of the Han River, which belonged to the upper reaches of the Han River, were attacked by the Jialing River, and the upper reaches of the Han River became the upper reaches of the Jialing River, and at the same time, the Chencang Waterway, which could be opened to the south of Sanguan for 20 miles, could only be connected to Yuguan (now Yuguan Township, Hui County).

Yuguan is not twenty miles away from Sanguan, and Yuguan is more than 100 kilometers away from Sanguan. In the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the first battle was fought in the Monk Yuan on the east side of Sanguan, and then the battle in this direction took place at Xianren Pass. Xianren Pass is near the left of Yu Pass, and the reason why the Song people gave up the Sanguan is precisely because the northernmost point of the Jialing River water transport can only reach the Xianren Pass. According to the guards, the grain and straw transportation were not good, and the soldiers starved.

The earthquake that caused the disappearance of Tianchi Daze in this era did not occur, and the high water level could be passed all the way to Sanguan Guanxia. The goods crossed the Qinling Mountains, which were not steep, and after forty miles, they could be loaded onto ships from the water (now the Jiang River in the Qing Dynasty) to Weishui. The plan of the Great Sima Mansion was to prepare to pour one or two canals about 40 miles long with concrete, and then drag the two-oarled mid-wing war boats, baggage and transport boats, weighing several tons, across the Qinling Mountains and into the Weishui.

The last time they attacked Guanzhong, the Qin people were strong and clear, and there was no grain within a hundred miles. This time, the grain was prepared by the Chu army, and between Yingdu and Xianyang, there were only forty miles of unworkable boats. This advantage is incomparable with the Bao Shu Road, the Meridian Road, the Wuguan Road and other cross-ridge mountain roads, and it is also the reason why the Chu army must pull out the Sanguan.

Only by pulling out the Sanguan can the Chu army really enter the Guanzhong and turn the Guanzhong upside down. In order to achieve this goal, in the direction of the eastern front, in addition to barely gathering enough 100,000 Qi troops who did not know whether they could fight or not, the Weishui defense line also arranged four Ludi divisions, three Song divisions, two Wu divisions, and one Huaiyin division (Quyang Huaiyin and other provinces) to the north of Muling Pass as a countermeasure;

In the direction of the northern line, there were more than 30,000 Wei troops in the southern city of Daliang, and 20,000 Zhao troops in the northern city. Fangcheng had three divisions of Xiang Division and five new divisions of the Zhu clan stationed in Fangcheng. At the critical moment, Li Xin could lead the army to attack Fangcheng, and the eight divisions were only stationed at the four important nodes of Wancheng, Fanxiang, Linpin, and Shangmi.

There are three roads in the direction of the west line, one is Wuguan Road, one is Shangtai Road, and finally Chencang Road.

Wuguan Dao was originally garrisoned by three divisions of the Hubei Division and the Tang Division, and the Operational Division meant that it could not only attack from Chencang Road all the way, but while taking a defensive position on the eastern and northern fronts, the western front should attack on at least three fronts at the same time. One of them is Wuguandao, Xiong Jing will lead the four divisions of the Yingshi Division, the twelve newly formed brigades that have just been downsized, and all the troops that seem to be able to fight, pretending to attack the key points from Wuguandao.

The year before last, the Chu army attacked Guanzhong from Wuguandao, and the Qin people still remember this vividly. In order to prevent the Chu army from coming again, many valleys in the north of the Qinling Mountains were dammed and walled, but no matter how thick the dam wall was, it could not withstand the explosion of gunpowder. The reason why I didn't choose to attack Guanzhong from Wuguandao this time was not that I couldn't attack it, but that this road didn't lead to the boat, and I couldn't wreak havoc on the entire Guanzhong if I attacked Guanzhong.

The Chu army attacked from Wuguandao, and after crossing the Qinling Mountains, it blew up the walls and embankments, creating a situation of attacking in a big way, and Guanzhong was bound to shake. No matter whether the Qin State gathers troops or runs around, it will distract Xianyang. And this, Xiong Jing himself led the Yingshi to appear at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains in order to have the best effect.

Wuguandao was in the middle of the attack, and from Chengxian in the north of Fuyi, it could go north to Shangtai County on the south bank of Weishui, which was another offensive route. Shangtai County was established as Qinzhou in the fifth year of Qin Shi Huang, that is, the Tianshui of later generations, and the Weishui can be connected to the Longguan Road from Shangtai across Weishui. If the Chu army goes out of Shangtai County, the whole of Longxi will panic.

Longxi County Benduoqiang Rong, in the 21 counties under its jurisdiction, there are Di Dao, Di Dao, Wudu Dao, Rong Dao, Biandao, Yu Dao, Zhu Dao, Gu Dao eight Dao, more than one-third. "The county has barbarians and said that the road", for hundreds of years, those barbarians did not assimilate into the Qin people, they were not willing to accept the rule of the Qin State, once the Chu army and the Qiang people appeared in Shangqi, Longxi was in turmoil at the same time, and they could also detour along the Weishui to disperse the flanks of the pass.

Shangqi Road is on the left, Wuguan Road is on the right, and the left and right are to contain Guanzhong, creating opportunities for the real main attack direction of Chen Cangdao, and this is the final battle plan determined by the Operations Division. In terms of troops, minus the ten divisions on the eastern front and the eight divisions in Fangcheng on the northern front, after the downsizing, only 37 and a half divisions and 12 brigades remained in the Chu army, and only 19 and a half divisions and 12 new brigades were used for the offensive.

After subtracting the eight divisions and 12 newly organized brigades in the direction of Wuguan Road, and then subtracting the Sui Division and the Chengyang Division in the direction of Shangqi Road, only the Chen Division, the Yangxia Division, the Xincai Division, the Xia Cai Division, the Qisi Division, the Xixian Division, the Yiyang Xiyangyi Division, the Huainan Zhushu Division, the Cangwu County Brigade, and the Nine Divisions and One Brigade were left with an establishment of 60,000 people.

Fortunately, there are still 50,000 Zhao troops, 30,000 Ba people, and 20,000 Zhuyue divisions and brigades in this direction, plus the Suishi and Chengyang divisions that completed the detour from Shangqi in the later period, more than 20,000 Qiangrong, and the number will reach or even exceed 200,000.

If Wang Jian and Li Xin's army did not return to Guanzhong, they would not be able to resist the attack of the 200,000-strong army by relying only on the soldiers of the Weinan battle under the command of Meng Tian and Zhao Yong.

According to the report of Zhibisi, the people of Qin State who had failed to harvest corn last year were already starving, because the war continued, and this year the entire Qin State had grain except for Xianyang, the government and the army had grain, and the hunger was even worse, and the whole country was looking forward to this year's autumn harvest. The 200,000-strong army that invaded Guanzhong during the corn harvest in September and October and looted and burned the grain and straw of the corn fields would have been disastrous.

Just as the cavalry of the Qin army broke into the Qi realm and the Wei realm this spring to harass the peasants and sow seeds, the war has inevitably evolved from a simple battle formation to a large-scale destruction and killing of the enemy's cities, communications, agricultural production, people's biological resources, and people. The result of such a sabotage and killing will sharply reduce the war potential of the enemy country, which will eventually lead to defeat.

It took a whole morning, and he finally finished introducing the entire battle plan. After lunch, there will be a discussion between the generals and the doctors. This kind of discussion is the connection between the front and rear, including material, transportation, manpower, and animal power;

The second is the echo of the various lines of defense and how to deal with various accidents. The eastern front in charge of Dongye Gu must cooperate closely with the Qi people to hold Weishui and Muling Pass; The Zhao and Wei armies defending Daliang had to defend the waterway pass of Daliang, even if the Qin army invaded Dasong County and Shangcai County; Xiang Chao, who was stationed in Fangcheng, should not fight Li Xin in a decisive battle, but should constantly delay Li Xin and delay his actions in Fangcheng;

Finally, there is the cooperation between the three armies of the Western Front. Chencang Dao and Shangqi Dao will be combined into one army in the later stage of the campaign, and the Yingshi Division and the rest of the divisions and brigades in the direction of Wuguan Dao will only retreat from Danshui into Hanshui when they pull out Sanguan, and trace the water out of Sanguan into Weishui.

Such a huge battle and military discussion could not be completed in one afternoon, and the first two parts of the discussion were barely concluded until the day before Xiong Jing was ready to leave for Nanzheng to meet the alliance with Dahao Ying. The key part of the last part, the military discussion on how to attack and dismantle the pass, has just begun. This time, there were very few people in the court, only Xiong Jing, Nao Cunning, Li And, Don't Ji I, E Le, Dou Yu Pheasant, Cheng Tong, Lu Kai, Ba Hu, Deng Sui, Zhuang Wudi, E Zhuo and so on.

"The danger of dispersion is not in Qinling, it is all in the old way." The first thing Li Ji talked about was the offensive against Chen Cangdao, and this time he used not a map, but a sand table. He pointed to a place on the sand table, where the water meandered out of the mountain stream, with towering peaks on both sides, and the river channel was full of sunken boats blocked by the Qin people.

"The southern slope of the Qinling Mountains is gentle and the north slope is steep, and our army is from the south to the north to the Sanguan Pass, and the Qin people have nothing to defend against. Now the places where it is fortified are all south of the old road. "The river is barren, and there is no official name for this rugged waterway." The banks of the waterway are rugged and unworkable, and the land route is not accessible; There are many sunken boats in the waterway, I floated one, and the Qin people upstream indulged another ......"

"Can't you stop it with a huge silk across the river?" Xiong Jing looked at the place south of the old road and interrupted.

"Your Majesty, you can't. The upstream indulgence of the Qin people is not only the sinking boat, but also the sinking wood, and the giant silk Hengjiang can block the sinking boat but not the sinking wood. "Here the two mountains are sandwiched, our army can not go up and the Qin soldiers stand on the mountain, the sinking boat outside the stream can float, the Qin people in the stream hit me with crossbow stones, and our army cannot clear the sinking boat in the stream." Ezhuo Road. He specifically went to see it, and this is not an engineering problem of clearing siltation, this is a problem of highland-to-lowland operations.

"Can't fire?" Xiong Jing is not giving up.

"I can't." Li shook his head, "The Qin people covered it with a big chapter and a stone wall, and the artillery was placed in the boat, but they were all missed. ”

"So what?" Xiong Jing looked at the mountain stream for more than ten miles.

"If you attack along the coast, even if you capture this section, there will still be ......" Li He said that the section that stopped the advance of the Chu army at the moment, this section was only a dozen miles, when his finger moved back, Xiong Jing saw a longer section of the mountain stream, the length was at least fifty miles, he reluctantly gave up, and listened to Li He's following.

Li Er's finger returned to the Nanzheng Basin, he pointed to the north of Nanzheng and said: "This Bao ramp is also, if you go north for a hundred miles, the mountain is divided into two, there are two, one is the north-facing B-ramp, and the other is the northwest. Along this road to the west one hundred and twenty miles, it is under a big mountain, the height of this mountain, more than the Qinling Mountains, the natives call it the Mandarin Crane Mountain, the top of the mountain to the sky is only five feet. ”

"Mandarin Crane Mountain?" Xiong Jing just remembered the name and was not surprised by its height. "What is the altitude?" Barometers are able to measure air pressure as well as altitude. He asked.

"More than two thousand meters." Li said. The road he said was that Chencang Road could not be changed after water transportation, from the Wuguanyi Town on the Bao Slope Road to the west, through Liuhou Town, Chaiguanling, Liufengguan Line to Fengling, over Fengling is the Fengzhou of later generations. It is said that Liu Bang sent elites out of Hanzhong to break into Chencang Road from this road and occupy the old road Yicheng, which opened up the whole road of Chencang Road.

The mountains between Guanzhong and Han are steep, and the road is the most complicated, but Xiong Jing didn't know which way this road was, he only asked: "If you cross the Mandarin Crane Mountain, you can enter the Sanguan?" ”

"Yes." Li and responded. "The Qin people are not unprepared. Meng Tian stationed troops in the old Daoyi City, and sent soldiers to guard the waterway while ordering people to defend Yuanhu Mountain. ”

"So you can only attack?" If the Chu army wants to snatch Chen Cangdao, the biggest problem is that the Qin people have already equipped.

"Yes. If you can use the elite soldiers to attack it at night, the Qin army may be defeated. Our army seized the Yuanhu Mountain, condescending, and the artillery could slam the enemy at the bottom of the mountain. "Li and Dao." Or the road leads to the foot of the Mandarin Crane Mountain, and attacks it inch by inch. ”

"That's all there are two options?" The battle plan for how to capture Chen Cang Road between the two also came out, and the key pass of Chen Cang Road was not in Sanguan, but in the south of the old road and Yuanhu Mountain, it was the safest way to insert it diagonally from Yuanhu Mountain to the rear of those mountain streams.

"There are only two strategies." Nao was silent until Xiong Jing asked.

"Sanguan is one hundred and fifty miles away from Yuanhu Mountain, idlers along the road are not allowed to enter, and recently I heard that the Qin people recruited the pawn who broke his left toe in the past...... "Don't let me report the situation in a timely manner."

It's not surprising that idlers can't enter strategically important places, but the Qin people recruit those who only have one leg......

"Why are you recruiting deposed soldiers?" Xiong Jing looked at me very puzzled. "They can also fight?"

"I don't know." Don't talk to me. "The minister only knows that Guanzhong County is all over the city, but somehow."

"Although the Qin people defeated the Qi country, there were many dead and wounded soldiers, but the number of soldiers in battle gradually decreased, so they had to be used." Dou Yu Pheasant's brows twisted, and he really couldn't think of any other reason. "Just cut off the left toe, and it is possible to pretend to be a firedman, or it can also be fought."

"Battleable?" Xiong Jing couldn't imagine that 300,000 Qin troops with prosthetic legs would fight against him, such an army could not run and could only stand in place, was the manpower of the Qin State really exhausted to the point of using those useless pawns with only one leg?

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
