Hearing the news of the Northern Expedition of the Volunteers, Li Guoying, the Sichuan general soldier of the Green Battalion of the Qing Army, was shocked and hurriedly gathered troops and horses to meet the enemy.

However, the main force of the Qing army had already been scattered to various places, preparing to plunder the grain and grass of the local people, and now it would take time to gather troops and horses.

After three days of hard work, when the men and horses gathered and prepared to go south to rescue, news came from the front that the volunteers had successively captured Ningqiang Prefecture and Tiesuo Pass, and were now killing Mian County.

Like Sichuan, Hanzhong is a plain area, and Mianxian County is the last checkpoint from Sichuan to Hanzhong, in the past, the Cao army in order to resist the Shu Han regime, the general Xiahou Yuan led the troops to fight with the Shu army in Dingjun Mountain, and the fierce general Huang Zhong beheaded the local general, which was the famous battle of Dingjun Mountain in history.

Because Mianxian County is not high, if you want to defend Mianxian County, you must first defend Dingjun Mountain, which is ten miles south of it, Li Guoying sent people to Bei Zi Nikan in Hanzhong to report the emergency, and on the other hand, he led his troops to station in Dingjun Mountain, in a vain attempt to obstruct the Northern Expedition of the Volunteers.

After occupying the Tiesuo Pass, Yang Lin ordered Yang Wei to lead the 14th Regiment to march along the Jialing Ancient Road, in order to make troops enter Shaanxi and threaten the situation of Guanzhong (Jialing Ancient Road is also Chencang Road, from Chencang to the southwest out of Sanguan, along the upper reaches of the Jialing River (Ancient Dao Shui) Valley Road to Fengxian County, turn southwest along the Gudao Water River Valley, and pass through the present-day Liangdang (Han Ancient Road), Huixian (Hanhechi) to the present Luoyang (Han Jialing Road) to connect the Fushui Road to Hanzhong, or through the Chenping Road in the territory of today's Luoyang, to the present Ningqiang Anyi to connect the Jinniu Road into Sichuan) into Shaanxi.

And Yang Lin took the 3rd town (division) of the Dragon Frame as the vanguard, and swept towards Calcium County.

Calcium County is the birthplace of the Han River, and it is also the throat road into Hanzhong, through which the Calcium County has a more Bao ramp road through the pass, the strategic position is very important, and Nikan is to appoint the four (Sichuan) general soldier Li Guoying to garrison here for defense.

After hearing the news that the general Huiying was defeated and killed, and the three thousand defenders were completely annihilated, Li Guoying, the general soldier of the fourth (Sichuan) of the Barbarian Qing Dynasty, was shocked, and on the one hand ordered to strengthen the city wall of Calcium County and strengthen the defense of Dingjun Mountain, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to the Manqing Duoluo Beizi Nikan to report the emergency.

After Nikan saw Li Guoying's letter asking for help, he was shocked and said: "Liu Bei, with the help of Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang, spent a year fighting with Cao Cao for the land of Hanzhong.

Now the army led by my uncle's regent Duoduo and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is thousands of miles away, and it will be very difficult for our army to hold on until reinforcements arrive. ”

He Luohui shook his head and said: "Nikan Beizi, the last time the Sichuan army was defeated, in addition to the fact that Haoge divided his troops to attack from all sides, the most important thing is that there are many hills in northern Sichuan, and the local people have the habit of building cottages to live.

Most of my Eight Banners are cavalrymen, which are conducive to galloping thousands of miles on the plains, but not conducive to fighting in the deep mountains and old forests of Si (Sichuan).

Now Duoduo's defeat banner is in Guanzhong, plus Wu Sangui's 30,000 Guanning soldiers and horses are rushing to Hanzhong, so we can have more than 20,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry in Hanzhong, as long as we can lure Yang Lin to the Hanzhong Basin, so the volunteers will undoubtedly be defeated. ”

Nikan sighed: "For today's plan, we have to strictly order Li Guoying and others to stick to the reinforcements and delay the time, and we have to build fortifications outside the city of Hanzhong, just like Yang Lin did under the city of Shunqing that day, so that we can hold on until the reinforcements arrive." ”

Heluo will be shocked: "Beizi, by all means. The volunteers started in northern Sichuan, where the hills are dense, and everyone is accustomed to climbing over ravines and climbing dangerous beaches.

The Volunteers were mainly infantry and were good at fighting in the mountains, but not in the plains.

Bei Zi's digging of a trench under Nanzheng City is not only not conducive to our battle with the Eight Banners, but also will inevitably give the volunteer infantry wings. ”

Nikan sighed: "Although what the general said is reasonable, if it is not so, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and for a long time, Heluo would suggest that for the sake of today, he should ask his uncle regent Duoduo, and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, abandoned his baggage and led the elite cavalry to the battlefield quickly.

In late October, the army approached Dingjun Mountain, that is, the Dingjun Mountain where Huang Zhong of the Three Kingdoms killed Xiahou Yuan.

After Dingjun Mountain, the main force of the Volunteer Army will break through the obstruction of the mountain and approach Calcium County, and rush into the Hanzhong Plain.

In order to block the volunteers in the mountains, Li Guoying personally led the main force to garrison Dingjun Mountain, while the deputy general Cao Chunzhong led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Calcium County.

Dingjun Mountain is composed of 12 even peaks, southeast direction, the east is the lonely peak of Dangkou Temple, stretches more than 10 kilometers from west to east, such as the dragon playing with pearls, so it has the reputation of "12 mountains and a pearl". Dingjun Mountain is named because of the main peak Dingjun Mountain, the original stone tablet of "Ancient Dingjun Mountain" on the top of the mountain, there is a big depression in the shape of a natural pot bottom in the south of the mountain, the circumference is 1.5 kilometers, that is, the "Yangtian Depression" that is called "Ketun Ten Thousand Soldiers" during the Three Kingdoms. If you want to attack the main peak of Dingjun Mountain, you must station troops in Yangtianwa and attack along Yangtianwa

When I came to the foot of Dingjun Mountain, I saw that the front was blocked by rows of mountains, and I saw Li Guoying from a distance relying on the main peak of Dingjun Mountain to set up a position, if you want to attack, all departments will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Putting down the binoculars, Yang Lin smiled and said to everyone: "Generals, there are many generals under this Zuo Liangyu, and this Li Guoying is indeed a character.

On that day, the old general Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan at the foot of this Dingjun Mountain, and Li Guoying did not avoid evil and led his troops to garrison this Dingjun Mountain, just with this courage is also commendable.

Let's talk about it, how to fight this battle? ”

General Feng Youqing said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, with the strength of our army, it is easy to capture this small Dingjun Mountain, the adults only need to give orders, and we will go all out to capture it." ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, Sun Tzu once said that a soldier is also a major event of the country. The land of death and life, the way of survival, must not be overlooked.

Ladies and gentlemen, when I was young, I heard my parents talk about the thieves, who often sent people to step on them during the day and steal them at night, so I saw the importance of intelligence and planning.

You are all senior generals of our Volunteer Army, and each of you is in charge of the life and death of thousands of people, and if you don't know how to advance or retreat in battle, it will ruin the reputation of our Volunteer Army.

Let's talk about it, how to fight this Dingjun Mountain? ”

Long Zhijiao pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "My lord, this Dingjun Mountain is connected by twelve mountains, and it will definitely be difficult for Li Guoying to defend the main peak."

We can lead a mountain peak in each direction in the east and west directions, so that we can definitely capture Dingjun Mountain in time. ”

Yin Chengqi smiled, shook his head and said: "Everyone, adults often ask everyone to read, saying that leading less than 1,000 people can cope with it with the courage of a horseman, and if you lead more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to fight, the generals will definitely be well-informed."

Everyone is a general in the army, of course, until the long snake formation, everyone please see that these twelve mountains are connected like pearls, can you look at the long snake formation.

We can pinch its head, clip its tail, and cut its waist, and in this way, our army's capture of this Dingjun Mountain is just around the corner. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Yang Lin looked around, and saw that the generals such as Long Zhijiao and Yang Bingyi looked quite confused. Probably in addition to knowing all kinds of military stories, his knowledge is also quite limited.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin enlightened: "Everyone, Lu Meng, everyone knows, that is, Lu Meng who defeated Guan Yu, we don't evaluate Lu Meng's defeat of Guan Yu." Let's talk about Lü Meng, first Lü Meng was quite brave in battle, but it was not easy to learn, Wu Wang Sun Quan admonished him many times, Lü Meng shirked too many miscellaneous things in the army.

Sun Quan retorted, do you want you, a general, to become a well-read person who dances and writes? I just want you to know more about the history of the rise and fall from ancient times to the present, and I just want you to know more about the ancient soldiers' books so that you can become a warrior with both wisdom and bravery.

If you want to say that there are many things, who has more things than my Sun Quan?

Since then, Lü Meng has read all kinds of books every day in addition to leading his troops to fight, so there is this idiom, which is called Shibei three days should be impressed.

Ladies and gentlemen, many of the generals are also studying and learning to write every day.

But there is a bad side, some people are coping with things, and some people don't read books themselves in order to increase their knowledge, but find some storytellers to tell them every day.

Ladies and gentlemen, those who listen to storytelling also increase their knowledge, but think about it, the storyteller tells the storyteller's understanding of the book, which is equivalent to everyone worshipping the storyteller as a teacher, which is certainly not the best way.

Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, I hope that you will be able to spare one hour a day to read and write, and if you really can't do it, you can study those military books. As you know, I have had more than a dozen good military books reprinted, many of which are illustrated with various illustrations. ”

When everyone heard this, they poured bitter water one after another, declaring the hardships of leading troops to fight and the importance of learning and understanding.

Yang Lin looked at the sand table in front of him, looked at Dingjun Mountain again, and said with a smile: "Yin Yan is reasonable, this snake head and snake tail are the two mountains in the southeast, and this snake waist is the main peak of Dingjun Mountain."

If we follow the traditional method of warfare, we will send three troops and horses, all the way to attack the snake head, all the way to the snake tail, and all the way to the snake body.

But this is just a conventional way of playing, think about it, in addition to this Dingjun Mountain, who is the seven inches of the green camp? ”

Yin Chengqi pointed to the sand table and said: "My lord, that day Shu and Wei fought at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Zhang He guarded the east siege, Xiahou Yuan guarded the south siege, Liu Bei attacked the east siege garrisoned by Zhang He with suspicious soldiers, and Xiahou Yuan led troops to rescue.

Huang Zhongdu led his troops to make several noises and then suddenly stormed the southern siege, so Xiahou Yuan was defeated and was killed by Huang Zhong under the horse. ”

Yang Lin smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone, as I just said, I don't want you to be talented, but everyone is a general, and everyone must be as familiar with all kinds of wars as Yin Yanshi everywhere, learn the lessons of their predecessors like this, and avoid suffering losses when leading troops to fight."

Huang Zhong killed Cao Wei's general Xiahou Yuan in this Dingjun Mountain that day, who wants to be my Huang Zhong today? ”

When everyone heard this, they all asked for battle.

Jing Keqin stepped out and said: "My lord, we all know the allusion of that day, Li Guoying has been stationed near Dingjun Mountain for several months, and of course he is familiar with it.

Compared with the terrain of the southern siege, the eastern siege is easier to capture, so we might as well do the opposite, in addition to clamping Li Guoying's waist, go all out to attack the eastern siege, so that the battle will be decided. ”

Yang Lin smiled and said to everyone: "Jing Keqin wants me and us to surpass Liu Bei and the others that day, do you have any other opinions?" ”

Due to the popularity of storytelling, everyone is familiar with the deeds of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and now when they hear this, everyone applauds loudly.

Yang Lin decided that Jing Keqin would lead the headquarters to attack Dongwei, and Wang Gao would lead a battalion to climb the rock behind Dongwei, so that he could attack back and forth, and seize the Dongwei position with heavy troops.

In addition, in order to guard against the reinforcements of the green battalion, Ling Long Zhijiao led his subordinates to feint to attack the main position of the Dingjun Mountain, and cut off the route of the reinforcements of the green battalion.

Ling Wang Shuji led the 8th Regiment of the headquarters to bypass Dingjun Mountain and take advantage of the chaos to seize Calcium County.
