Jingshui flows down from the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain, absorbing thousands of large and small tributaries such as Ru River, Malian River and Heihe River, and flows into Xinping County from the south of Anding City to the southeast.

The dividing line between Anding County and Xinping County is the plateau between Jingshui and Heihe, which is called Quail Plateau, also known as Shallow Water Plateau.

The shallow water plateau is not a small plateau, but a vast plateau between the dark and dark.

This place is a battleground for soldiers, and more than 800 battles have been fought since ancient times.

The shallow water plateau is connected to the Hexi Corridor in the north, and Chang'an is in the south.

The cavalry can quickly advance along the Jingshui Valley, and the troops can be under Chang'an City within a few days, which shows its importance.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, in order to defend this strategic land, all dynasties have set up Quail County in the northwest of the shallow water plateau, which belongs to Anding County.

At the same time, Xinping City was also built in the southeast of the shallow water plateau to guard the road of the cavalry to the south.

Now Hexi and Later Qin, according to the quail, Xinping City, the formation of the Dingzhi trend.

Time flies, originally Hexi was a world of ice and snow, but soon the ice and snow melted and everything recovered.

With the footsteps of spring, a long-planned war to destroy the country slowly kicked off.

In the first year of Long'an, in February, Wei Shuo quietly entered Anding with Kang Long, Kuaien, Jiang Ji, Cui Hong and others.

On this day, on the north bank of Jingshui, Wei Shuo, accompanied by Tan Daoji, Cui Hong and others, was concentrating on the south.

Behind everyone were tens of thousands of Hexi soldiers who were waiting for them.

In the distance, Jingshui splits the lofty mountains, surging from the depths of Liupan Mountain, and flows southeast for thousands of miles on the lush and vast plateau.

"Daduhu, along the Jingshui to the southeast is Xinping County, and after Xinping County and then continue to the south, it will reach the north bank of Weishui."

Saying that, Tan Daoji stomped his feet, and said in high spirits: "Stability is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Qin people. ”

"And our army's occupation of Anding is equivalent to putting a sharp sword on the neck of the Qin State!"

"As long as the capital guards give an order, the army can go south and go straight to Chang'an."

Wei Shuo didn't speak, silently turned his gaze into the distance, and couldn't help but admire Tan Daoji's keen eyes in his heart.

However, the time was not yet ripe for him to agree with the other party's idea.

Before the start of the war, the military order issued by the Military Department was very clear, and the direction of stability was a feint.

In fact, not only Anding was a feint, but at the beginning of the war, including Longguan and Shangjun, the three armies were feints.

……

At the beginning of February, most of the capital guards Shuo Qin led 60,000 foot riders along the Jingshui River to the shallow water plateau.

Hundreds of years later, there will be an ancient war related to the course of history.

In the first year of Tang Gaozu Wude, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Xue Ju's father and son fought a decisive battle in the shallow water plain, and the Tang army won a complete victory.

Since then, the crisis in the western part of Chang'an has been lifted, and Longdong has been governed by the Tang Dynasty, which has opened the pace of the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

A few days later, the news of the Hexi army's southward march along Jingshui reached Chang'an, plunging the stormy Later Qin regime into a panic.

Xinping City is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, and the terrain along the way is not dangerous to defend.

Once lost, the Hexi cavalry would only need two or three days to reach Chang'an, and the Later Qin regime would face a catastrophe.

In any case, it was necessary for the Later Qin to quickly repel the enemy from a stable direction, so as to preserve the Later Qin regime.

The crown prince Yao Hong strictly ordered the garrison of Xincheng to defend it, and sent Yao Chong, the general of Pingbei, to the north to support.

Before Yao Chong was ordered to lead the army to the battle, the prime minister, the lieutenant and other ministers of the central government gave thousands of instructions.

It is believed that the morale of the Hexi army is booming, and the Qin army should not rush into battle, and should stick to Xinping City.

As soon as Yao Chong arrived at Xinping City, he dug deep trenches, built high city walls, and put forward a strategy of concentrating on defense and avoiding field battles.

……

Before the war, Tan Daoji, Kuaien, Huan Zhen and other generals gathered in the Chinese army's tent to participate in military meetings.

In the center of the big tent, there is a huge sand table, which is filled with various small flags, representing the current deployment of enemy and enemy forces.

On the screen in the center, there is also a large map of Guanzhong, surrounded by busy soldiers and documents.

Standing in front of the sand table, Wei Shuo was full of ambition, and now there were 150,000 troops deployed in place, waiting for the big war to begin.

"My lord, a total of 50,000 people in our department are ready to launch an attack on Xinping at any time." Tan Dao Ji Yu reported.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the key to this battle is not to break the city and kill the enemy, but to mobilize the enemy."

Wei Shuo glanced at everyone and continued: "Although the enemy is at the end of his rope, the Qiang people are rampant after all, and there are still great talents such as Yao Shuode and Yin Wei, so they should not be underestimated to fight back to death. ”

"In order to take Guanzhong at the lowest cost, the Military Division has formulated a strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false,"

"At the beginning of the war, our 100,000 troops will form an offensive in Longguan, Shangjun, and Anding respectively to attract the attention of the enemy."

"Once the enemy is deceived, Wang Zhongde's troops, who are hiding and waiting in Pingyang, will smuggle across the Yellow River with lightning speed."

"So, please remember, don't go crazy and ruin the overall situation."

"No, the last general will obey."

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, and in half an hour we will attack Xinping."

……

"Hold your shields, follow Lao Tzu, and kill."

Under Xinping City, in the fierce war drums, the Hexi soldiers, under the leadership of Shi Chang and Tun Chang, howled and killed Xinping City.

The Hou Qin people in the city were obviously frightened by the sky-high momentum of the Hexi people, and in their panic, they picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the Hexi army slowly approaching outside the city, trying to stop the Hexi army from attacking.

A moment later, the rain of arrows of the Later Qin people fell into the Hexi army formation.

"Raise your shield and cover the attack."

"Keep going."

After successfully dodging the bow and arrow strikes of the defenders, the Hexi Army, under the command of generals at all levels, once again marched forward according to the order.

Dozens of hundred-man phalanxes, not in the slightest panic due to the enemy's counterattack, they advanced in an orderly manner as they had rehearsed before the battle.

Thanks to the training of a large number of qualified grassroots officers in the Armed Forces Academy, the Hexi Army has maintained a very high level of tactical literacy in this era of extremely backward communications.

Seeing with his own eyes that several rounds of long-range strikes were fruitless, some of the Xinping defenders couldn't help but start panicking.

Fortunately, Yao Ping was still calm, and kept roaring, constantly boosting the morale of the defenders.

"Steady, steady, raise the knife and gun, don't shoot, don't panic."

In the midst of the panic, the Hexi array approached step by step.

In order to cover the infantry siege, the crossbowmen began to wield their might.

In an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows, like wild horses on the loose, shot out from the ballista one after another, piercing the sky and hitting the opposing Qin army.

Suddenly, blood splattered on the city's head, as if it had become hell, and there were screams and moans everywhere.

With the help of crossbowmen, the infantry who were slowly approaching the city wall quickly quickened their pace and rushed towards the city head with a roar.

"Brothers, kill, kill these damned Hulu." Cnn stood in the middle of the line, yelling.

This was the first time since he was injured that he had killed an enemy, and although he was blind in one eye, he was not affected in the slightest.

He doesn't stop moving, he doesn't stick softly, and he is still a majestic battlefield general.

"Kill, kill."

Behind Kuang, hundreds of Hexi sword and shield soldiers closed their shields and discharged a tight shield wall, protecting the main general all the way.

The enemy and us fought fiercely on the city, and Yao Chong roared angrily from time to time, trying to stabilize the line.

Seeing Kuang En kill the city, it immediately made the morale of the Hexi army high.

Wei Shuo immediately ordered: "Beat the war drums and cheer for General Kuai!" ”

After receiving the order, the drummers in the army beat the cowhide war drums even harder, stimulating all the Hexi soldiers to fight frantically.

They slaughtered the Hou Qin soldiers who rushed up, and blood flowed all over the city walls under their feet.

Even with every step they take, endless blood splashes can be splashed......

Wei Shuo obviously overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Later Qin people, but a wave of offensive almost broke through Xinping City.

Fortunately, this time the purpose of the Hexi army was not to really attack the city, and after putting enough pressure on the enemy, the Hexi army took the initiative to retreat.

At the same time as launching a fierce attack on Xinping, the Longyou Hexi Army crossed Longshan and surrounded Yongcheng.

In addition, the Shangjun garrison made a leaping posture, which frightened Feng Yiqin's army day and night.

In the face of the all-out offensive of the Hexi Army, the entire Houqin suddenly fell into a storm.

Soon, the attention of the Later Qin people was attracted by the offensive of the Hexi Army in three places, and completely ignored the Tongguan and Pujindu lines.
