Chapter 816: Liu Zongmin's Sack Operation
The battle of Sichuan and Shu, the Western Wei Dynasty could not delay for too long, once it fell into a quagmire, it would be a very dangerous thing.
Gao Yihuan glanced at the generals in the big tent, and then said: "Jianmen Pass is one of the most dangerous passes in the world. Wu Sangui should be very confident in the Sword Pavilion, so he may not have more soldiers and horses than Micang Dao. This time, the Lone King has many soldiers, the Guan Ning army is small, and he has to face Sun Kewang, the Lone King has the strength and conditions to fight Wu Sangui head-on. β
Gao Yihuan has always avoided the real and attacked the weak with his soldiers, and rarely hit the hard, but this time he did the opposite.
Of course, Gao Yihuan made such a decision, not because he didn't think about it, but because he relied on it.
On this expedition, he brought a few siege mortars and a hundred flowering shells, which he wanted to use to break the Sword Gate.
Many artillery pieces in the Ming Dynasty were mortars, they were a kind of short-barreled guns, with a large firing angle, low muzzle velocity, ballistic trajectory for projectile, and small and medium-caliber, easy to carry mortar guns, which later developed into mortars.
This batch of mortars in the Western Wei Dynasty is much larger than the bowl guns, and the production process is also much stronger.
Gao Yihuan named them Weiyuan General Cannon, which was also cast in copper, weighed 580 catties, and was carried by a four-wheeled wooden gun carriage, and the range of the big run was related to the elevation angle of the charge and the shell, and the muzzle of the gun looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and the shell could be thrown two miles away.
The road to Shu is difficult to walk, the thousand-pound Hongyi cannon cannot be transported into Shuzhong, and the Weiyuan general cannon is much lighter, but it must also take the road without desertion.
In the big tent, many people didn't know about the mortar, but since Gao Yihuan had decided, everyone still clasped their fists together and said solemnly: "Please give the king's orders." β
Gao Yihuan nodded, walked in front of the sand table, picked up the wooden strip and said: "There are only a few roads into Sichuan, and the predecessors used all the tricks they could in the war." Wu Sangui must have taken into account the various possibilities of the lonely king entering the Sichuan, and every road was defended in a dangerous place, and it was unrealistic for the lonely to come to Yinping to smuggle out, and he couldn't play any new tricks. However, the lone king has a lot of soldiers, and it is still possible to take advantage of Wu Sangui's lack of troops to bluff and attack the west, confuse Wu Sangui, and let him divide his troops everywhere. β
Saying that, Gao Yihuan took the wooden strip, pointed to the rice cang road, and shouted: "Wang Yongqiang, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses, play more flags, and take the rice cang road." The wooden strip pointed to another place, "Li Jiyu, you lead 3,000 people to walk on Lychee Road." β
Wang Yongqiang and Li Jiyu immediately came out to hug their fists, "The minister takes the order!" β
Gao Yihuan looked at the two of them and said, "The two of you set off today, the purpose is to bluff and make Guan Ningjun unable to judge the true movements of the Lone King." β
After speaking, Gao Yihuan glanced at the generals with a sharp gaze, "The rest of the generals, prepare for three days, set off with King Gu, break the Sword Gate Pass and take Chengdu City." β
"Wait for the order!" The generals who were full of tents clenched their fists neatly, full of pride, and the armor on their bodies rattled.
Gao Yihuan bowed his head with satisfaction, and looked at Yi Daosan again: "Select a thousand elites from the Feng camp, take the Yin Ping Road, bypass the Sword Pavilion, and when the Lone King attacks the Sword Gate Pass, you can bluff and try to attract the attention of the Guan Ning Army, so that Wu Sangui will not be able to reinforce the Sword Pavilion with all his might." β
Back then, Deng Ai took Yinping and attacked Chengdu, and Wu Sangui would definitely fortify, but Gao Yihuan didn't want to break through Yinping, but just let Wu Sangui know that there were Western Wei soldiers and horses appearing on Yinping Road, and Wu Sangui had to worry about whether he wanted to learn from Deng Ai.
"Wu Sangui has less than 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and the King of Wei has arranged it like this, scattering the forces of the Guanning army, and the possibility of the main force breaking through the Sword Pavilion is very large." After listening to Gao Yihuan's arrangement, Li Dingguo couldn't help but say.
"Those who know the orphan will also set the country!" Gao Yihuan had a smile on his face and looked at Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo looked away, Gao Yihuan saw this, smiled and waved his hand, "All the generals go and prepare." β
At the beginning of September, the autumn breeze is slightly cool, with a hint of chill, in the undulating Daba Mountain, the leaves are already slightly yellow, the top of the mountain, the mountainside and the foot of the mountain, showing different scenery, the layers are distinct, majestic and magnificent.
At this time, between the twists and turns of the mountain road, an army of tens of thousands of people, half rolled up with a banner, stretched for dozens of miles, winding like a snake, and trekked towards Shuzhong with difficulty.
Gao Yihuan wore gold armor and rode a war horse, and the guard Zhou Dali held the reins of the horse and slowly advanced in the ranks.
Suddenly, the team in front stopped, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were immediately blocked, Gao Yihuan knew that there should be a problem with the road ahead, so he waved his hand, "Stop and rest for the time being." Li Laiheng, you go to the front and have a look! β
The Wei army stayed in Guanzhong for more than half a year, in addition to waiting for supplies, they also began to repair the road into Sichuan and control the Shu Road, but the road was difficult to travel, and it was deliberately destroyed, the section close to Hanzhong was fine, but the closer to Sichuan, the more difficult it was to go.
This pause was half an hour, and the soldiers hurried to finish eating, and the soldiers in front of them moved again.
On the rugged road, the elite soldiers of the Fengfeng Battalion took the lead in using rope wooden bridges to pass through the destroyed plank road, quickly advancing forward, chasing and killing a small group of people and horses of the Guanning army.
The army stopped and walked behind, and from time to time there were soldiers, donkey carts and artillery rolling down the hillside, but the Wei army did not make a noise because of this.
Jianmen Pass, in Sichuan Guangyuan Dajian Mountain, Guancheng is based on the cliff stone as the door, easy to defend and difficult to attack, can be called "a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open".
This Guancheng was built during the Shu Han Dynasty and has a long history and is an important gateway to Sichuan.
The terrain here is dangerous, and Xia Guoxiang stationed 5,000 troops here to prevent the Wei army from entering Sichuan.
At this time, the Guan Ning army had already received the news that the Western Wei army had entered Sichuan, and the torches were lit on the wall, and the soldiers were patrolling back and forth with spears in their hands.
"Someone on the boardwalk?" One of the soldiers stopped suddenly.
The general who led the team also stopped and looked out of the pass, but there was no figure in the darkness.
"The plank road has been demolished, where are the people?" The officer stood in place and looked carefully for a while, but did not notice any abnormality.
The soldiers continued to patrol, but after a few steps, the soldier shouted again, "There are people, yes, there are people!" β
The officer at the head frowned, "What do you see?" β
The soldier squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said sharply: "Someone is mending the plank road!" β
At this time, although the others did not see it, they heard a noise, "Chief, there is real movement." β
When the general heard this, he no longer hesitated, and resolutely shouted, "Ring the alarm bell, light the fire, and prepare to meet the enemy army." β
After saying that, the general led a team of archers and firecrackers out of the gate and came to the exit of the plank road.
At this time, the distance was closer, and the generals had already seen that there were indeed soldiers laying planks on the plank road under the cover of night.
"Shoot the arrows!" The officer immediately snorted.
At this time, the opposite side flickered, and there were several "bang bang" sounds, and the self-generated fire gun, which was about seventy-five at a distance of about seventy-five, far exceeded the range and power of the Guan Ning army, and the Guan Ning sergeant who had not yet run over was in the sound of the gun, and several people were killed.
~~~~~~
At the fourth watch, it was dark in the city of Chengdu, and it was silent, but Wu Sangui's palace of King Qin was brightly lit.
After Sun Kewang led his army back to the city, he decided to withdraw from Chengdu after thinking twice.
On the Chengdu Plain, the horse army of the Guanning Army is powerful, and there are almost no opponents, and the Western Army guards Chengdu, which is equivalent to sitting in a lonely city, and Wu Sangui can occupy the Chengdu Plain and obtain food and materials to trap Chengdu.
For this reason, Sun Kewang thought about it again and again, but decided to evacuate Chengdu and move towards southern and eastern Sichuan.
As soon as Sun Kewang left, Wu Sangui became the lord of Chengdu, but before his ass was hot, Gao Yufu came again......
