The cannon roared under the city of Mianzhou, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

After days of fierce fighting, the outer walls of the small state city have been beaten to the teeth, like the shell of a pomegranate being broken, revealing the tender and juicy fruit inside—the soil and stones that have been rammed in a hurry.

Mianzhou is in the east of Mianyang in the later generations, the terrain is complex and changeable, the northwest belongs to the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet high mountainous area, the terrain is high and dangerous, and the peaks are stacked inside. The southwest belongs to the northwest of the Sichuan-Shu Basin, and the territory is hilly. It can be said that in addition to the difficulty of going down along the Peijiang River from the border of Zhangming County, the two sides of the river are gentle, and the east and west sides of it are full of mountains that stretch endlessly.

That is to say, if you want to go down to Chengdu, Mianzhou is a place that must be taken.

Just after the news of the Jianzhou Incident reached Mianzhou, Yao Pingzhong did not immediately obey Chengdu's command and led the army to the north to enter Jianmen Pass. Instead, it will shrink to Mianzhou City with all its might, and the troops and materials stationed in Zhangming, as well as many laborers, will also be recovered to the south of Mianzhou.

The strong wall is one of them, and the organization of a large number of laborers day and night to strengthen the city of Mianzhou is the second.

Then Yao Pingzhong's method is to learn from Xu Huiyan's method of guarding Guizhou City.

It's just that compared to Xu Huiyan's full preparation, his preparation is obviously much inferior. But even so, it is not something that the Qi army can take in a hurry.

After the Qi army stabilized Jianzhou, it only divided a small group of soldiers and horses to march to Langzhou, Bazhou, Longzhou and other places on the left and right. The main force went all the way south to Mianzhou.

Just as everyone thought, the Qi army went down to Jianzhou, and with the cooperation of Liu Guangguo, they digested the local Song army cleanly. Next, he approached Mianzhou, swept Yao Pingzhong, and then the army killed Benjin Guancheng and captured the entire Sichuan and Shu in one fell swoop.

However, the number of Song troops in Mianzhou City is about 20,000, not inferior to Liu Guangguo's department of Jianmen Pass, and there are more than 10,000 people from all over the country to help. Yao Pingzhong insisted on fighting for a while, and more than 30,000 people guarded a city, which was abundant in troops.

The Qi army marched south and was difficult to overcome for a while.

Mianzhou was originally the backup of Jianmen Pass, and at the same time, the garrison was also guarding the Yinping Ancient Road. At that time, Deng Ai led his troops to cross the 700-mile ancient road and jumped into the heart of Shu Han, opening the first chapter of the end of the Three Kingdoms.

In fact, more than 300 years later, the Ming general Fu Youde also sent surprise troops from Yinping, so that the soldiers and horses of Ming Xia collapsed in their hearts, and Sichuan and Shu were peaceful in an instant.

This is the reason why Zhao and Song sent Yao Pingzhong to garrison Mianzhou, which is the last barrier in Chengdu.

It's just that the current Qi army, but since the Sword Gate entered, people didn't go to the Yinping Ancient Road at all.

Yes, Shu Song's original plan was all in vain. They thought that Hanzhong would be lost, and tens of thousands of troops would not be wiped out, and there would definitely be remnants of the army retreating into Jianmen Pass. Therefore, the garrison of Jianmen Pass seems to be only 20,000, but in fact it is far more than 20,000.

Under such an unfavorable situation as Yao Youzhong and Liu Qi, Wu Zi was able to lead nearly 10,000 defeated soldiers to retreat into Lizhou, if he broke through the Xianren Pass first, and then lost Hanzhong City, how many Song troops should be able to retreat into Lizhou smoothly?

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Buqian, Chen Yu and others, the Sword Gate Pass will not be lost at all.

The artillery of the Qi army is naturally fierce, but it is also difficult to take down the Sword Pavilion Heavenly Danger.

They only need to be fully prepared, don't make the mistakes of Meng Chang back then, and let go of Lai Su Narrow Dao, and this sword gate will be foolproof.

In the third year of Song Qiande (965 years), Wang Quanbin was ordered to cut down Hou Shu, and there was a soldier who said: "From Zhaohua County, Jiangdong Yue Mountain is heavy, there is a narrow path, the name comes to Su, the Shu people put the fence in Jiangxi to guard it, there is a ferry on the other side, the road goes out of the south of Jianmen for twenty miles, and the Qingyidian is with the official road, so the danger of Jianmen is not enough to worry about entering the army." Wang Quanbin from it, ordered not to take Su, Da Qing Reins, North Fencing Pavilion, and the soldiers to attack the north and south, and then seize the Sword Gate.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future. The defeat of Shu Han and the fall of Meng Chang were the best teachers of Shu Song. Some of the Song Dynasty were erudite Confucians who were proficient in historiography, how could they not know the defeat of Shu Han and Later Shu? Its initial layout was to use history as a teacher, plug all loopholes, and consolidate Sichuan and Shu. This is even more true after the start of the war.

It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and Liu Guangguo's counterattack made everything fall short. The Qi army descended from the Sword Gate, and Mianzhou, which was supposed to be the back hand of the Sword Gate, became very important.

If Yao Pingzhong sees that the general trend has been decided and surrenders without a fight, then Sichuan and Shu have been decided.

But now Yao Pingzhong is still going to fight with Lu Qi at such a moment, but he ignores Chengdu's instructions, how much of his heart is for Zhao Song, and what he thinks, it is difficult to estimate.

At the critical moment, whether Yao Pingzhong can really spare his life or not, no one has a score in his heart.

But no matter what, the horizontal and vertical is now fighting fiercely in Mianzhou City.

Most of the Song army in Sichuan and Shu were recruited and trained by Zhao and Song after entering Shu, and more veterans who entered Shu before were sent to Hanzhong and Jianmen Pass, and the proportion of veterans in the 20,000 Song army in Yao Pingzhong's hands was much lower than that of the first two. Although their armament is not worse than that of Liu Guangguo's troops, their real combat strength is really inferior.

The soldiers of this army, whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, have they ever seen blood, and the soldiers who have been in battle are different from the recruits. In this battle of Mianzhou, the performance of the Song army here was much stronger than when it went out of Sichuan to attack Guanzhong. While this may just be the difference between a chicken and a duck, it's not bad.

After only five days of siege, the city of Mianzhou at this time was already in tatters, and the city wall had been opened one after another, with bullet marks! Especially on the north side of the city where the Qi army was attacking, almost one-third of the city walls have collapsed, and the city walls have collapsed. A large amount of earth and stone mixed with the rammed earth of the original city wall turned into a slope and fell down. Just because that section of the city wall completely collapsed, the Qi army dug a tunnel three times to lead to the bottom of the city wall, and set up medicinal powder to blast it.

Just as Li Yanxian said during the Battle of Guizhou, if it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, and the city will always be blown up. This is the most cost-effective way to break the city.

On the collapsed city wall, corpses were piled up on top of each other.

There were officers and soldiers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, as well as soldiers of the Qi army. The soldiers on both sides were dressed in armor of the same standard, nazha armor, leather armor, cotton armor, and even individual half-plate armor, even if they were killed in battle, the corpses of both sides often scuffled together!

The Song army in the city obviously put up the most stubborn resistance here! And the Qi army outside the city also launched the most resolute attack, turning the place into a large pile of corpses. After that, they made a breakthrough on this pile of corpses, smashed the resistance of the defenders, and broke through into the city of Mianzhou!

Now the city of Mianzhou is full of fire, and all the Song troops stationed here have collapsed, leaving only the personal soldiers of the guard Yao Pingzhong still relying on the state government to confront the Qi army surrounded outside. But it was clear that the Qi army outside had no intention of attacking.

In fact, it's called coming and going! Yao Pingzhong voluntarily gave up his command after the city of Mianzhou was broken and went straight back to the state office. It has been very convenient for the Qi army to seize Mianzhou, and this favor must be returned. Although this guy insisted on not surrendering, and a battle in Mianzhou caused the Qi army to lose troops, these two things should be looked at separately.

You can't erase someone's credit just because they're 'fault'.

Yao Pingzhong took the initiative to lead the army to surrender, which was the best. But since Yao Pingzhong wants to save face and can't let go of his arrogance, or he is always unconvinced in the letter, then you can't say that others are at fault in a fight.

If that's the case, Liu Fa, the seed master, and so on should be killed.

Zhang Zhongfu, the deputy general of the Mianzhou Song Army, was the main person who organized the surrender of the defenders. And Zhang Zhongfu's younger brother Zhang Zhongyan accompanied Yao Pingzhong to sit in the state office.

"Captain, Captain......"

Zhang Zhongyan looked at Yao Pingzhong, who kept pouring wine into his mouth, and felt that he really didn't need it.

The Yao family and Lu Qi did not have much inextricable hatred, Yao Gu committed suicide by poisoning in the Battle of Xiangyang that year, and it was he who took the initiative to die, but it was not Lu Qi who beheaded Yao Gu or forced him to die. If he can be caught, how can he lose his life?

Look at that Liu Fa and the seed master.

Facts have proved that Lu Qi is not a thirst for killing. If the civil and military generals with a good reputation are captured, they can all be treated preferentially. Those who still cut off their heads after being caught by the Qi army are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials who should be killed.

"Captain look at some good." Zhang Zhongyan self-deprecating persuasion: "The young general's family and Lu Qi also have some grievances, my father and uncle both served under He Guan He Taiwei, my uncle and Xixia fought and died, He Taiwei remembered the old relationship, so he gave his daughter to my brother Zhang Cheng as his wife. However, my brother and Mrs. He did not do well. "This hatred is much more direct than the Yao family.

Outside the state office.

Yao Youzhong, who had a calm face, glanced at Zhu Wu and Shi Dalang on the left, and without saying a word, he walked towards the state capital.

The Divine Machine Military Master had a smile on his face, but Shi Jin was very angry, "The general of the defeated army, is it hypocritical? "If you don't take the initiative to surrender at such a time, you are undergoing a knife.

Yao Pingzhong was a young man, so he was arrogant and didn't know how to restrain. Ning doesn't know that the situation in the world has changed, and he still has nothing to do, only cares about the courage of his husband, is incapable of taking advantage of the situation, and goes with the flow. Da Lang has a bright future, so why bother with such a person? ”

Why do you want to give face to the Yao family, and isn't it for the heart of an old general in the Anxi Army. However, this Yao Pingzhong ......, Zhu Wu stroked his beard and thought about it, shook his head and laughed.
