In the evening, Luo Yanhuan camped in Niutou Village, and sent his own soldiers to fly to the newspaper Yue, and at the same time incorporated the local Shu army, disarmed and supervised it in the barracks of the military fort, and found Wang Sanlang, the commander of the Shu army, and ordered him to lead the way tomorrow.

At this time, Zhang Yue and Wang Jing led the main force to camp in the valley south of Dongyubao, where the terrain is dangerous, but it is a little inconvenient to get water, and it is not enough to dig a well, so it is necessary to carry water back from the Qingjiang River on the other side of the mountain.

After dinner, the soldiers soaked their feet and prepared to sleep, but the valley was not very ventilated, there were many mosquitoes, and the sound of slapping was loud, and there was scolding everywhere. Zhang Yue suddenly remembered that the soldiers didn't bring wormwood this summer, and the number of mosquitoes was a problem.

When he came back from patrolling the camp, he immediately went to see Wang Jing and asked to send a grain transport team to collect some wormwood tomorrow, otherwise the soldiers would not sleep well at night and would not have the physical strength to march and fight during the day.

Wang Jing readily agreed, and as the two were talking, the soldiers asked to see and present the military report, and the two took turns to read it. Wang Jing opened the curtain behind him, showed the combat map on the screen, and said with an optimistic smile: "Luo Yanhuan fought well, take these two villages first, and our main force will march smoothly, but there are still six military forts in front, if you divide the troops to suppress, will the troops be slightly less." ”

Zhang Yue looked at the map and thought for a while, six fortresses plus the marching time, it would not be possible to take it in one day, but the soldiers were very fast, and they tried to clear the obstacles within four or five days, so that the garrison of the mighty city in the south would be unprepared, and they could go down in one go.

"Or ...... Dispatch Li Chu Yun to lead a thousand troops to command the troops tomorrow morning! We must uproot the Huanghua Valley and the fortress north of Weiwu City as soon as possible, so that we can have hope of taking Fengzhou. Zhang Yue really wanted to go by himself, but he was already a general, so there was no need for this, so he still gave the opportunity to his subordinates to practice more combat experience.

"Alright! So be it! It's just that the mountain road is not easy to walk, many steep slope carriages can't go up, mules and horses have to be fed, and the people mainly rely on carrying burdens to transport grain, which comes too slowly, and if the attack is too fast, I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be able to help. Wang Jing nodded, a little worried, as a coach, in fact, he thinks more about logistics. As for the operations in these years, the generals sent had a great deal of autonomy, and the rear could not be forcibly controlled.

"It doesn't matter, there is a way: the wise general eats the enemy, eats the enemy for one minute, and serves me for twenty minutes. For example, two military forts have a good harvest! ”

When Zhang Yue said this, Wang Jing laughed. Shu is rich, with sufficient food, grass and armor, but due to long-term seclusion, the soldiers have few wars and many are unbearable. This time, 1,500 stone grain and grass were seized, as well as armor, silk silk, Shu brocade, etc., worth nearly 10,000 yuan, which was definitely a small fortune, but this is only two military villages.

Before dawn the next day, Hu Jie's left wing was waiting for Li Chuyun to receive the order, leading a thousand foot soldiers to march fifteen miles, just in time for Luo Yanhuan to pull the team out of the military village, and the troops continued to set off, discussing the strategy of marching along the way.

Chencang Road is from Sanguan to Xingzhou Shunzheng, known as Luoyang in ancient times, this road is not only rugged and difficult, but also too long. After the Shu army occupied Qinfeng, a series of forts were set up along this mountain road, so now every time you walk, you have to knock out a military fort, otherwise you can't pass. Even if you don't get in the way, you can't stay, it will harass the back road.

Li Chuyun used to be a staff member under Ruan's tent, and later fought several big battles with Zhang Yue, but he didn't have much actual command time, and Zhang Yue fought very little for the tough battles, and Li Chuyun also lacked experience in this area.

As for how to attack the fortification, the two of them did not bring any baggage equipment, and they both felt that it was better to advance quickly, and the attack was the first, so the marching speed would be super fast. Take the guide to lead the way, march more than fifty miles in half a day, arrive at the Qingjiang Bridge at the beginning of the afternoon, the bridge is a flat stone bridge with six stone piers, but there is a military fort in the valley by the bridge, it is also Zhanglai high, but the garrison has a thousand, and it is not easy to fight if the Shu army is stubborn.

The soldiers were stationed in a horizontal formation in the narrow valley, because the open space was too small for more than 3,000 soldiers to deploy. Li Chuyun frowned at the military fort, thought about it and took a hundred steps to the military fort to observe, saw that the defenders released arrows and left, and walked south along the river for a while, and it seemed feasible to bypass the military fort.

The Qingjiang River originates from the Qinling Mountains, because the terrain is steep, this river is a deep stream, and it is in the high water period, the water flow is turbulent, and there are deep pools. If you want to cross the river, you need to use ropes and other tools to build an improvised pontoon bridge.

"I will cross the river to the south to fight the big ladder ditch, and I will take it today!" Luo Yanhuan also ran to the river, and soon understood Li Chuyun's thoughts.

"It's getting late, let's concentrate our forces on this fort first. It's the beginning of the month, and there is no moon at night, so if the hour is early, let's start! Li Chuyun persuaded him, he was more cautious after seeing the terrain, and then he returned to the team to give the order, and the battle began.

Chen Jia, the deputy capital of the second army, led a thousand soldiers to shoot arrows close to the military fort to attack and harass, while Luo Yanhuan chose the crossing point and sent the deputy capital of the three armies, Yu Hou Jiao, to lead fifty soldiers to pull ropes across the river and pull them. And Duyu Hou Zhang Guangzan also led his troops to line up on the shore to shoot arrows to block the attack, and sent additional troops to cross the river.

Li Chugeng and Luo Yanhuan are not fierce generals, but they are all commanders, the two of them led the remaining 2,500 soldiers to advance to the military fort, or the old way, there is no baggage and only the archers can suppress the cover, the whole army ant is attached to climb the wall, of course, there is only one fort wall that can attack, and the other two sides are river ditches, and it will take a little time for the soldiers who cross the river to cut off their way back.

The shield-bearer covered the ladder hand approaching, and the ladders were stacked on the wall in rows, but they were not stable, and they were easily pulled and overturned by the defenders left and right, but fortunately, it was a bit difficult to fall to the death of experienced veterans at the height of the fort wall.

The drum rumbles, shocking the eardrums, the soldiers shout to kill the sky, many big wooden ladders are fallen, and suddenly fall down a string, the veterans jump immediately when they see that the situation is not good, many people fall to the ground and jump alive to join the battle, there are also people who are unlucky, they fall and hurt their legs and can't get up, and they suddenly lose their combat effectiveness and are dragged away by their comrades.

After a short period of tentative attack, Li Chuyun could see that the Shu army was stable and stable, with no outstanding defensive tactics and no rolling stones, which required a breakthrough to open the way.

Jiao Da on the other side of the river used a simple knife well, and the command was also appropriate, and the more than 100 people who crossed the river had already stabilized themselves with large shields. The archers here were handed over to a commander, Du Yu waited for Zhang Guangzan to be transferred back, and opened the way at the same time as Liu Chongbin, the deputy envoy of the three armies, Zhang Guangzan was really brave, and the two plate axes could be used as shields, and the arrows clanged, and he quickly climbed up the big wooden ladder.

As soon as the two of them went up the ladder, there were soldiers to help them below, so that the two of the generals' personal soldiers also went up to open the gap, and everyone followed to pick up the credit.

Zhang Guangzan is short, with short hands and short feet, climbing ladders very quickly, and from time to time he frees up his right hand to swing the hidden arrow. Looking at his armor outfit, Shu Jun knew that he was a middle and senior officer, and arrows rained down on him, the result was that the higher he climbed, the more arrows he hit, but the defensive power of the mountain armor was strong, and if he didn't hit the vital part, he couldn't let him fall, but it stimulated his ferocity.
