"Smack!"

A piece of bamboo, shattered for no apparent reason. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

An ominous premonition hit my heart.

Liu Mang's hand holding the bamboo piece trembled unconsciously.

Wan'er was empathetic, took the bamboo piece, stroked Liu Mang's hand, and said softly: "Bamboo is born in the south and likes moisture. The north is dry, and it is normal for it to be broken, and then take a piece of bamboo to replace it, so the husband doesn't have to care. ”

Wan'er's words made Liu Mang's heart feel a little calmer.

On the wall in front of you, there was a large map.

On the map, Yongliang City and Pass are marked in detail. Dozens of small pieces of bamboo, hanging on the map.

On the bamboo piece, the name of the commander of the army is marked, or the number of soldiers and horses is marked.

This is Wan'er's masterpiece.

The deployment of both the enemy and the enemy is clear at a glance.

Outside the courtyard, the sound of horses' hooves was hurried.

Only the messenger of the urgent report can travel quickly in the city.

Liu Mang's heart, which had just calmed down, hung up again.

"Report!" The messenger ran into the courtyard.

Wan'er took the first step, ran out of the room, and immediately rushed in and threw herself into Liu Mang's arms.

"Tongguan victory!"

"What?!"

"Tongguan! Our army has conquered Tongguan! Wan'er's hands hooked Liu Mang's neck hard, and she was so excited that her eyes were full of tears!

Liu Mang shook his head in disbelief.

How can it be?

Yesterday, Tongguan was still in a bloody battle. The casualties are very high, and there is no progress, how can it be suddenly overcome?

……

The letter was sent by Deng Qiang, the commander of the Tongguan front, and of course he would not falsely report the military situation.

Tongguan, the world's Xiongguan.

At this time, Tongguan was far from being as majestic as in later generations, and even, the construction had not yet been completed.

In the north, east and south directions, the city wall is basically completed, and the west city wall is still under construction.

However, because the gate was built on the loess plateau, that is, built on the loess platform, the height of the gate was added. Although it is not fully built, it is more difficult to attack than other passes.

Deng Qiang's troops attacked Tongguan from the east, and for more than a month, there were countless strong attacks, with nearly 10,000 casualties, but they were never able to attack the Tongguan wall.

Wei Chigong's troops crossed the forbidden ditch and attacked Tongguan from the south. The consumption is huge, and there is no breakthrough.

However, the two-way attack also posed a huge threat to Tongguan City.

Under the continuous attack of the Luoyang army, the 5,000 defenders of Tongguan have suffered most of the casualties.

Wei Wentong, the general of Tongguan, sent several letters asking for help every day, requesting support from Duan Shao of Zheng County. However, the supplies obtained were far from sufficient.

It's not that Duan Shao refuses to support Tongguan, but that Guo Kan's troops of the Luoyang Army are making trouble!

Guo Kanbu traveled back and forth between Zheng County and Tongguan on the Weishui River. Take the Weishui River as a barrier and the boat as a springboard. Unpredictable and flexible.

The supply team sent by Duan Shao was repeatedly attacked by Guo Kan's troops and suffered heavy losses.

Duan Shao also raised an army to pursue Guo Kan.

However, the Xiliang army lacked boats and ships, and on land, it was simply impossible to launch an effective attack on the Luoyang army's boats.

Reluctantly put together a boat to launch the water, but the Xiliang soldiers were not familiar with sailing boats, let alone water warfare. One shot at the face, it was defeated, and the ship capsized and died!

Hit, can't hit. Rush, can't drive away.

Duan Shao had nothing to do.

Heavy troops can only be sent to protect the supply team.

But the escort soldiers also have to eat and drink, heavy escorts, thousands of soldiers and horses, back and forth between Tongguan in Zheng County, and the consumption on the way is extremely amazing.

In the end, there were very few supplies that could reach Tongguan City, which could not meet the needs of Tongguan.

The Xiliang Army was heavily escorted and supplied, and Guo Kan immediately changed his tactics and launched an attack on the surrounding areas of Zheng County.

Zheng County, located in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, is the main grain producing area of Yongliang.

In late autumn, it is time for harvest.

Guo Kanbu's surprise attack and harassment seriously affected the autumn harvest in Zheng County.

The food supply of the Tongguan garrison depends on the supply of Zheng County. The food and salary required by the Zheng County garrison also depended on this.

Duan Shao had no choice but to ensure the autumn harvest first. The main force of his subordinates was distributed throughout Zheng County to prevent Guo Kan from attacking and harassing.

After the autumn harvest, it was planned to transport supplies with heavy troops to support Tongguan.

……

The supply was unfavorable, and Wei Wentong, the general of Tongguan, was in a hurry.

There is still a lot of grain in Tongguan, and the problem of eating is still secondary.

What Wei Wentong is worried about is the problem of wounded soldiers.

The Luoyang army attacked from two sides, and the defenders of Tongguan suffered extremely heavy casualties.

There were more than 5,000 defenders in Tongguan, more than 1,000 killed and nearly 3,000 wounded.

The number of troops is reduced, and Wei Wentong is not worried.

Zheng County reinforcements can be replenished at any time.

The Luoyang Guo Kan Army, which was cruising between Tongguan in Zheng County, did not have many troops, and only dared to harass and attack the Xiliang supply troops, but did not dare to provoke the reinforcements sent by Zheng County.

There was a steady stream of reinforcements, but the supply channel was blocked, and the wounded soldiers could not be transported, which was what Wei Wentong was worried about.

Tongguan City is small and has not yet been fully built.

Five thousand garrisons, almost at the limit. However, now in Tongguan City, the garrison is close to 8,000.

The most terrible thing was nearly 3,000 wounded soldiers.

Wounded soldiers consume supplies and take up a lot of shelter.

Conditions were limited, and many wounded soldiers did not have time to be treated. The pain was unbearable, and the screams were repeated.

From morning to night, in Tongguan City, there were constant screams and cries, which greatly affected morale.

The wounded soldiers are crowded together, and the wounds are very susceptible to infection, which in turn leads to infectious diseases.

The most terrible thing about sticking to the lonely city for a long time is not the strong enemy outside the city, but the epidemic.

If the epidemic breaks out, not only will Tongguan not be able to hold on, but the soldiers who defend the city will also be unable to escape death!

Wei Wentong sent a daily letter to urge Duan Shao to hurry up and send the frame to take the wounded soldiers to the rear for treatment.

However, Duan Shao was powerless.

……

Although the city wall of Tongguan is still towering, the situation facing Tongguan is becoming more and more severe.

Wei Wentong, the flower knife general, rushed around the city during the day to organize defense. At night, facing the lonely lamp, it is difficult to sleep.

Lying down with his eyes until the second half of the night, he was just a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes, but the guards came to report: In the southwest mountains, I found a fire!

"What?!" Wei Wentong was shocked!

Run up to the castle and look southwest. Sure enough, there are a few fires in the mountains!

The southwest direction of Tongguan, close to the Qinling Mountains, is the natural barrier of Tongguan.

The vicinity of Tongguan, including the Qinling Mountains, was under the jurisdiction of Wei Wentong.

In order to guard Tongguan, the people in the southwest mountains were forcibly moved to the Guanzhong Plain.

In the mountains, although there are still scattered residents, they will not and dare not light such a fire!

Wei Wentong was shocked!

Could it be the Luoyang Army?

Impossible!

The Qinling Mountains are an insurmountable natural danger, the Luoyang Army has no wings, how can it be possible to cross the Qinling Mountains and reach here?

Wei Wentong was not at ease, so he sent a team of several hundred people to the southwest mountains to find out.

……

Outside the gates, the drums of war are beating again!

Another bloody day began......

Deng Qiang, the commander of the Hongnong Army, had red eyes.

couldn't attack for a long time, Deng Qiang was very anxious.

On a few occasions, if it weren't for his subordinates to stop him, Deng Qiang would have rushed up the ladder and acted as the first to ascend!

When the lord Liu Mang learned the news, he specially sent Du Ruhui to the front line and strictly ordered Deng Qiang not to go into battle in person.

Although Tongguan was the main target, it was not the key to the Battle of Yongliang.

It is naturally good to be able to capture Tongguan. If you can't break through Tongguan, as long as you contain the enemy army and make it unable to support Zuo Fengyi, it is also a strategic victory.

Sun, west slanting.

The offensive and defensive sides seem to have a tacit understanding and are ready to die down.

Suddenly!

In Tongguan City, there was a fire and smoke! (To be continued.) )
