From Shangluo, it was passed to Hongnong. Then by the fast horse, it flew to Huxian.

Liu Mang received the letter and immediately ordered that Hongnong and Deng Qiang's troops should send troops!

The goal of the Ministry of Agriculture - Tongguan!

……

Tongguan, the first risk in Jin, the throat of the four towns, is also known as the one hundred and two passes.

Of course, these words are mostly used to describe the dangers of Tongguan after the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But Tongguan is located in a natural and precipitous place.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a pass here, but the scale was small, and the wall did not reach the level of unattainable.

The current Tongguan was built by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, retreated into Guanzhong, and ordered the expansion of Tongguan in order to prevent the princes of the Central Plains.

At this time, Tongguan had just been built. Naturally, its scale and solidity cannot be compared with that of later generations.

However, the natural geographical conditions make Tongguan still the first dangerous pass in the world!

To the north of Tongguan, Weishui and Luoshui converge here and merge into the Yellow River.

The south of Tongguan is a forbidden ditch, also known as a forbidden valley and a forbidden pit.

The name has the word "forbidden", which describes the impassability of this place.

The forbidden ditch is a natural canyon. The valley is walled, and the shrubs and vines in the valley are dense and weaving. In the poems of later generations, "the danger of the fine road and the ape fight", it describes the danger of the forbidden ditch.

The forbidden ditch runs from north to south, as long as more than 30 miles, connecting Tongguan in the north and Qinling Mountains in the south. Heaven and earth are generally designed, filling the gap between the dangerous pass and the Qinling Mountains, and creating the Tongguan natural risk!

"One hundred and two levels", difficult to attack!

However, there is no danger in the world that cannot be overcome!

……

Deng Qiang and Guo Kan have already made sufficient preparations!

Although the Xiliang army held a dangerous pass, the Luoyang army also had an advantage.

The biggest advantage of the Luoyang Army is two.

One advantage, troops.

Restrained by the Ma Teng Han Sui coalition army and Chang Yuchun, the strength of the Xiliang Army deployed on the front line of Tongguan was less than 20,000 people.

Wei Wentong led 5,000 elite soldiers and stationed in Tongguancheng. Duan Shao led more than 10,000 troops and stationed in Zheng County, which could support Tongguan at any time.

Yang Guang and Li Ru stationed the least troops in the Tongguan area, not only because Tongguan was a natural danger, but also because there were too many soldiers and horses, and it was inconvenient to station.

Tongguan City, after all, is just a pass. Compared with the cities in the plains, the conditions are much worse in all aspects. There are too many soldiers and horses, which are of little use, and they are fed in vain.

The Hongnong Department of Deng Qiang and Guo Kan of the Luoyang Army gathered a total of 15,000 elite cavalry and more than 30,000 foot soldiers. The strength of the army is more than twice that of the Liang army in the west of Tongguan.

Another advantage, initiative.

As the attacking side, it has the initiative in the timing of the attack, the direction of the attack, and the way of attacking.

Wang Meng, Deng Qiang, Guo Kan and others formulated the Tongguan strategy, making full use of the initiative.

The general strategy of attacking Tongguan is: to attack from multiple directions, to distract the enemy's forces and attention, to weaken the enemy's defensive strength at Tongguan Pass, and to strive to force the enemy out of the pass for a decisive battle.

Similar to the Shangluo Raider, the purpose of the Tongguan Raider was to further attract as many of the enemy's eastern forces as possible to the Tongguan area on the basis of attracting the enemy's main force in the southeast battlefield.

Thus, it created favorable conditions for Xu Shiji's eastern part of the river to attack Zuo Fengyi.

Of course, if there is a chance to capture Tongguan, the Luoyang army will certainly not give up this opportunity.

Around the Tongguan strategy, Deng Qiang and Guo Kan decided to attack in three ways.

On the first road, Deng Qiang led the main force and went straight to Tongguan City.

On the second road, Guo Kan led his troops to take the waterway, making the posture of entering Zuo Fengyi first, then crossing Weishui, and going around to the west of Tongguan.

Wang Jun's navy mainly cooperated with Zuo Fengyi in the east of the river, but also set aside a part of the ferry, which was personally led by Wang Jun and cooperated with Guo Kan's actions.

On the third road, Wei Chigong led the elite infantry and walked the forbidden ditch!

If you want to attack Tongguan, you must take the forbidden ditch. This is the consensus of soldiers.

From a military point of view, the prohibition of ditches does not mean that they are impassable, but that they are not suitable for military passages.

Forbidden ditch, the road where people can walk. However, it is absolutely impassable for carriages and horses.

The army could enter the forbidden ditch on foot, but supplies could only be carried with them.

According to the usual method of marching, each foot soldier could only carry three days' rations with him.

At its limit, the foot soldiers unloaded their protective gear and carried only the necessary weapons, and at most only six days' provisions.

With the topography of the forbidden ditch, it takes two days to reach the south of Tongguan City after passing through the forbidden ditch for thirty miles at the earliest.

In the case of maximum provisions, the army must break through Tongguan within four days.

Otherwise, the supply will be interrupted and the attacking team will be thrown into panic and confusion. There is no need for the enemy to attack, and it is impossible for the team to withdraw from the forbidden ditch.

Soldiers, surprisingly win!

Based on similar considerations, the enemy will not heavily defend the forbidden ditch.

The Luoyang army wanted to do the opposite, launching an attack from the direction of the forbidden ditch.

Wei Chi Gong's department undertook the heavy task of attacking from the direction of the forbidden ditch.

As for the most difficult problem to solve, when Wang Meng and others were planning, they naturally had a solution.

……

The various departments of Hongnong set off separately.

Deng Qiang led the infantry in front, and Zhou Dewei Ge Shuhan led the main cavalry in the rear, without any interference, until Tongguan.

As expected, Tongguan City, the suspension bridge hangs high, and the gate is closed.

No matter how the Luoyang army provoked and abused, Wei Wentong, the guard of Tongguan, ignored it.

The Luoyang army set up camp far away, and sent people to fight in front of the pass every day as if it were a routine.

Deng Qiang was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for Guo Kan and Wei Chigong to arrive at the predetermined position before launching an attack on Tongguan City.

……

Guo Kan's 3,000 foot soldiers, with the cooperation of Wang Jun's naval ferry, boarded the boat from the Yellow River Fengling Ferry and marched westward.

The location relationship between Tongguan and the Yellow River and Weishui is not very appropriate, but it is very vividly described.

If you have a girlfriend who can split a horse, it must be something to brag about.

(It's a shame if your girlfriend doesn't know how to split a horse.) If, you don't even have a girlfriend, then when I didn't say o(╯□╰)o)

Girlfriend, chopping a line horse, riding on your face! This is the relationship between Tongguan, the Yellow River and Weishui!

Your face is Tongguan.

The two legs of my girlfriend are the Yellow River and Weishui.

(If you find it difficult to understand, you can try it with your girlfriend.) If you don't have a girlfriend, you can also have a friend. If you don't even have a friend...... You can only find Du Niang, go check the map yourself...... ）

Straight to the point.

Guo Kan Wang Jun's fleet turned from the Yellow River to Weishui.

On the south bank of the confluence of the Yellow River and Weishui is Tongguan City.

The Luoyang army fleet, swaggering, on Tongguan City, under the noses of the Xiliang Army, walked slowly.

The Xiliang army in the city was not nervous. No matter how large the fleet of the Luoyang army was, there was no possibility of breaking through the city.

On the contrary, the Xiliang army was very interested in the Luoyang army fleet, and the Xiliang army, which was on duty in the city, came to see the excitement.

After all, on the Yellow River, there has never been such a large fleet.

The Western Liang Army also had no intention of attacking the Luoyang Army fleet, because the Western Liang Army had no warships at all.

The Xiliang Army in Tongguan was not afraid of the Luoyang Army landing on the south bank of Weishui.

There were very few ferries on the south bank that landed on the reliable shore, and most of them were destroyed by the Xiliang army. (Anyway, the Xiliang Army doesn't have warships, so why do you leave so many ferries.) ）

In the few ferries left, Duan Shao arranged heavy troops.

On the north bank of Weishui, there are relatively many ferries. But on the north bank of Weishui is Zuo Fengyi, which is Li Wei's defense area. Duan Shao and Wei Wentong did not bother to care about Li Dao's ground.

Moreover, by counting the number of ships of the Luoyang Army, it can be estimated that the Luoyang Army will not exceed 3,000 people in the westward march by boat. This amount of troops is really not a threat.

The Luoyang military fleet marched steadily on the Weishui River.

The soldiers of the Liang army in Tongguan Xiliang watched with interest. Some soldiers waved at the Luoyang military fleet, and someone on board waved in response!

The atmosphere is so friendly!

It's just that everyone knows that if you wave at you today, they will take your head tomorrow!

(By the way, apologies: since the eleventh, there are a lot of things, you can't code words during the day, you can only send the code at night, so the update is late.) In a few days, after being busy with the things at hand, there is a deposit, which will be restored to 11:00 every day and updated at 21:00. I'm sorry. (To be continued.) )
