Hearing that Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo's men and horses had also arrived in Guangyuan, Hu Guozhu immediately led the generals out of the account and came to the top of the mountain to watch.

The place chosen by the Jin army to block the attack, on both sides is a stretch of mountains, a curved path in the middle, they are stationed in the village, set up camp along the mountain, and make the front line into a "U" row pocket, as soon as the Ming army enters, the mountains on both sides are full of arrows, and the rolling wood and thunder stones are thrown down, and the Ming army does not say that it breaks through the defense line, and it is no different from sending it to death.

On the top of the mountain, the banner of the Jin Army is flying, and the sturdy soldiers, standing with guns, the waist-to-belly ratio, peeking at a glimpse and seeing the whole leopard, this team of people and horses is obviously not comparable to the rabble in the hands of Chen Ke.

Hu Guozhu and his generals climbed to the top of the mountain, and soon saw a huge amount of smoke and dust rising in the distance, accompanied by the roaring hooves, nearly a thousand Ming army cavalry suddenly arrived, directly into Wang Deren's camp.

Hu Guozhu overlooked the enemy from a distance on the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. In his impression, the Ming army in the southwest should be dominated by infantry troops and musketeers, but he didn't expect that the cavalry is actually quite large-scale now.

In fact, the Ming army in the southwest can have war horses, or thanks to the Jin army, if it were not for the ambush of Aobai in eastern Sichuan and the ambush of Haoge in Luzhou, the Ming army would not have been able to get so many war horses.

Hu Guozhu was a little surprised, but if he looked closely, the training of these cavalry was obviously insufficient, and they were messy when they entered the camp, and there was obviously a lack of fire.

"The fire of the Ming army is still not good, if it is on the plain, the commander has 300 cavalry, and he can defeat their 1,000 horse army."

Although Wang Deren's several attacks ended in failure, the Jin State lost the whole Sichuan, the Ming army rolled in, and the general trend created by the continuous convergence still made many Jin troops feel frightened, and Hu Guozhu, as the main general, naturally had to maintain enough bearing and self-confidence to encourage the whole army.

He was joking, after more than a thousand cavalry, the infantry of the Ming army was like a giant python, winding over.

Looking at the Ming army team that could not see the end at a glance, most of the generals were panicked, and Hu Guozhu also knew that it was not easy for someone to come, so Li Dingguo even almost took his life in Fotu Pass, which made his heart tighten.

Li Dingguo is now famous, the fame far overshadows Ma Jinzhong and others, Jin Jun talked about the color change, called "Li Hu", Hu Guozhu knew that this person was powerful, and he was good at using strange soldiers, and he was a little nervous in his heart, but he was still not chaotic on the surface, and shouted: "Although the Ming army is numerous, there is no need to be afraid, and the order is that all departments stick to their own positions, and if the enemy soldiers dare to attack, they will definitely let him hit his head and break the blood." ”

In the distance, Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo entered the camp, and after a short time, they galloped out again, grabbed the reins outside the valley mouth blocked by the Jin army, and forcibly stopped the galloping war horses.

Wang Deren was on the back of a spinning horse, and said to Ma and Li: "This is called the double hump, like the double hump on the back of a camel, Hu Guozhu's men and horses occupy the mountains on both sides, and camp at the bottom of the valley, I attacked for a few days, as soon as the army entered, it was attacked by the Jin army on both sides of the mountain, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people, and there was no progress. ”

Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo calmed the restless war horses, and couldn't help frowning as they looked at the surrounding terrain on the spinning war horses.

The reason why Shu has been divided several times in history and fought against the Central Plains Dynasty is because of the existence of these dangerous terrains.

Ma Jinzhong stabilized the war horse, took out the clairvoyant mirror from the bag to watch, the circular vision first looked at the mountains on both sides, the mountain is steep, a log smashed down, can be smashed into a piece, the possibility of capturing the mountain is not very credible.

His face was a little anxious, and after looking at the mountain, he put down the clairvoyant mirror, but immediately picked it up again and aimed it at the defense of the Jin army at the bottom of the frontal valley.

Seeing this, Ma Jinzhong was so angry that he laughed, "Straight thief, walled wall, ditch, antlers, rejecting horses, isn't this what I learned?" ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he looked at the Jin military camp at the bottom of the valley, in addition to the two hills each with barracks, the walled wall was built on the mountainside, as if a belt was enclosed on the mountain, and in the valley between the two mountains, there was also a walled wall made of wood.

The wall is more than one zhang high, there are a lot of flags on it, the Jin sergeant with a gun, the spear is holding this obliquely and walking on it, every other step by the wall, there are soldiers with bows and arrows on their backs standing, every ten steps, there is a black hole in the artillery sticking out of the wall, it can be said that it is heavily guarded.

In front of the wall, deep trenches are staggered, sharpened wooden stakes and bamboo spears with oblique thorns, together with horses and antlers, scattered in front of the wall, and the Ming army wants to rush to the front, so they have to wade through this forest of spikes.

Sure enough, the entire defense system was basically the same as the Ming army's fortifications in the Tuojiang River valley to block Haoge's breakthrough and trap the Jin army.

"Hu Guozhu is so good at learning and using it!" Li Dingguo snorted in his nose after seeing it, but then he became serious, and his face showed a solemn look, "Hu Guozhu's arrangement is more than when we were in Tuojiang, there is one more mountain to attack downward, and if we attack it, it will be equivalent to being attacked from three sides, no wonder Wang Duzhen has not rushed over in the past few days." ”

Wang Deren wanted to make meritorious contributions, rushed all the way to Guangyuan, but he didn't want to be stopped here by Hu Guozhu, there was no progress, he was worried about being laughed at by Ma Jinzhong, listened to Li Dingguo's words, couldn't help but look at Li Dingguo gratefully, and then sighed: "Originally, I was going to build more equipment, build shield cars, cave houses to move forward, just as I was attacking the city, but the Jin army rolled down boulders from the mountains on both sides, shot rockets, and the car was destroyed before the car had time to quickly clean up the antlers in front of the wall, and there was no progress." ”

Ma Jinzhong looked up at the mountains on both sides, the terrain here is even more steep than the Tuojiang Valley, he can use the terrain to trap Haoge's 40,000 elite soldiers in the valley without temper, Hu Guozhu relies on the danger to stop them, it is also reasonable.

"Madu Town, if you attack hard, I'm afraid the casualties will be very huge!" After reading it, Li Dingguo came to a conclusion.

Ma Jinzhong frowned, seeing that Jin Guo's defense was so impregnable, he couldn't help but have a toothache, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he was a little annoyed: "We rushed to Guangyuan, we can't be stopped and won't fight, watching Hu Guozhu empty Guangyuan and burn the plank road again!" ”

The three of them were silent for a while, and after half a sound, Li Dingguo asked, "Wang Duzhen, is there a trail that can be bypassed?" ”

"There are yes, there are more than one, some are smugglers of salt to avoid checkpoints, and some are mountain people who come to collect medicine." Wang Deren had obviously thought of this method a long time ago, "But these trails can't go to the army, they are very steep, it is inconvenient to carry grain and grass, and they are winding, and it will take at least ten days to detour behind Guangyuan!" ”

Li Dingguo listened to it and said to Ma Jinzhong: "There is no other way now, it is better to try to take the trail!" ”

Ma Jinzhong pondered for a while, and there was no other way, "Okay, Dingguo, you go for a trip, I'll rush here to make equipment and attack from the front a few more times." If you make a detour to the back, smoke during the day, and light a fire at night, I will immediately cooperate with you here and attack Hu Guozhu on both sides! ”

At present, there is only such a plan, and after the three of them have discussed, they immediately pull their horses and return to the camp.

Hu Guozhu, who was at the top of the mountain, had already paid attention to the three people watching the formation, and a general next to him saw the three of them leaving, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, are they scared when they see our battle, haha..."

Hu Guozhu laughed and said something that did not take the Ming army in his eyes, which was to strategically despise the enemy and give confidence to his subordinates, but if he really thought so, he would be a fool, in fact, he still attached great importance to his opponent, which can be seen from the meticulousness of the camp he set up.

He listened to the general's words, but asked, "Have you investigated the things that asked you to investigate?" ”

The general was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Check it out, there is more than one trail, there are three that I know at present, and the last general is not manpowered, but each one has a pier, and if there is a situation, the police will be called immediately!" But the commander, the last general has figured it out, these trails are very difficult to walk, you can't pass the soldiers, you can't worry at all. ”

"If flies can walk, people can pass!" Hu Guozhu frowned, he was a person who had crossed the mountains of eastern Sichuan twice, "What's the use of calling the police?" You go and inform Chen Junji and ask him to hurry up and rush to transport the supplies, and don't stop day and night! ”
