On the morning of the third day of the fifth lunar month, Li Chuyun received a good news from Luo Yanhuan at Qingjiangqiao Military Fort, saying that Chen Jia had been left to garrison Tigou Village, and led his headquarters to continue south to capture Diwankou, intending to seize the listed village and reorganize it, waiting for the arrival of the main force on the back road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Wang Jing and Zhang Yue led the main force on the way south to Qingjiang Bridge, because the logistics grain and grass came too slowly, and the main force could not go too fast, otherwise the soldiers would have eaten the spare dry food a long time ago, and they would be in trouble when they encountered a shortage of food.

Arrived at the camp in the afternoon of the same day, and in the evening there was good news, Luo Yanhuan and Liu Chongbin captured Diwankou again, and the Shu army broke and fled. Zhang Yue was greatly relieved that Luo Yanhuan advanced quickly and fought smoothly, so Wang Jing would not be able to grab the credit, in fact, he also had his own combat mission, and he would also score troops at that time.

On the fourth day of the first month, the march was accelerated, and the camp was carried out at the mouth of Diwan, and the forward reported that Luo Yanhuan had come to the fortress at night, but the military fort was backed by the listing mountain, facing the Qingjiang River and ravine, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Shu army was also stubborn, and it was evening when it arrived, and the attack was hastily promoted, but the result was not defeated.

Zhang Yue didn't care, and when he arrived at the listed village, Luo Yanhuan really lived up to expectations, and after half a day of bloody fighting, he successfully captured the military fort in the afternoon. So, that night, the main force and the striker met in the listing village.

There are also two military forts on the mighty city, and then continue to the south, when crossing the Heba military fort on the south bank of the Qingjiang River, the main army takes a small road to detour, leaving Luo Yanhuan to attack the Heba military village behind.

Zhang Yue and Wang Jing led the main force to arrive at the Huangniupu camp, the military fort in front of the two miles is called the Huangniu Fort, which is also built by the mountain and the river, the garrison has three battalions of 1,500 people, and the Xiahe Dam in the northeast, the garrison of the listing village belongs to the same army.

Here is an important barrier in the northwest of the mighty city of thirty miles, the military city is as high as one zhang and five feet, it is long and narrow from north to south, the area is about thirty or forty acres, the valley mouth in the north is larger, the width of the fort wall is about one hundred steps, and it is not difficult for the troops to be strong enough to attack.

It's just that it's getting late, Zhang Yue and Wang Jing took their soldiers to the cattle fort and walked around, inspected the terrain and went back to the camp to rest. Just when the commander of the Zhou army was inspecting the enemy's situation, Zhou Qingchen, the head guard of the Cattle Fort, was also observing the lineup of the Zhou army, and he was secretly frightened.

As early as when the Zhou army arrived in Guanzhong, Fengzhou Assassin Wang Wandi sent a defense envoy Zhou Qingchen to the north, rushed to Weiwu City to sit in the town, heard that the border fortress was lost again and again, Zhou Qingchen did not dare to be careless, led a battalion of troops to rush to the cattle fort to garrison, plus the command of Jiang Hui, who fled back to the village, the total strength was 1,800 people.

"Wang Envoy Jun promised to lead troops to reinforce Weiwu City, Ox Fort must be defended, in your opinion, how is the combat strength of the Zhou army? How long can we keep it? "Zhou Qingchen has no confidence, he is from Fengzhou, he has not experienced any war, and he has little confidence in his heart.

"Look...... There is the Fengxiang Army, the right is the camp of the forbidden army, and the forward along the road to the south is the forbidden army, so it is normal for us to not be able to fight, it is said that their forbidden army has laid down six military forts, and the Fengxiang army is out of battle, then we should be able to defend it for two or three days. It's just that I don't know if the Xiaheba military fort can be defended, or send someone to take the path to investigate. The commander made Jiang Hui feel lucky, and said with some concern.

As he was talking, a herald with a small red flag on his back galloped to the wall, jumped off his horse, rushed to the wall quickly, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Report to the Zhou army master!" The military fort of Xiaheba was lost this afternoon. The Zhou army first cut off two retreats, and then attacked the city, commanding Sun Dalang and other troops to be captured. ”

Zhou Qingchen was stunned, stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, this situation was expected by him, he couldn't help sighing, turned around and went down the wall. Jiang Hui's face changed, and then followed.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, early in the morning, Zhang Yue transferred three battalions of the Second Army to Li Chuyun's command, Wang Jing went all the way south and did not fight a battle, so he also sent his eldest son Wang Tingyi to lead four battalions of the Ya Army to fight.

With such a primitive tactic, Zhang Yue shook his head when he saw it, and there was not even a trebuchet in the fortification, so the casualties would not be small, but fortunately, with a military doctor, two hundred craftsmen should also come in handy.

The left and right armies advanced together, and the two teams of four columns of crossbowmen shot arrows at the wall, and there were some casualties at the beginning, and then they actually crushed the Shu archers to death, which shows how bad the Shu army's combat strength is.

When the ladder hand approached the fort wall, the Shu army seemed to be a little panicked, and sent additional archers to shoot crosswise, and the density of arrow rain suddenly increased, and the Zhou army once again had sporadic casualties, but the military discipline of the forbidden soldiers was okay and they were not afraid of battle.

Feng Xiangjun did not flinch from the eyes of the Red Army's achievements, and the two armies set up rows of large wooden ladders on the wall, and gradually began to fight with each other. However, most of the Shu army's troops were transferred to this wall, and the density of the arrangement was also quite large, and the first round of attacks of the Zhou army was driven down.

Zhang Yue and Wang Jing were very angry when they saw it, and immediately ordered the former army commander to personally take the lead in attacking the wall, and the Chinese army beat drums and cheered, and the morale of the army next week was great. Li Chuyun's martial arts can only be regarded as a mid-gauge and medium-distance martial arts, and the same is true for Chen Jia, and Wang Tingyi of the Fengxiang Army on the other side is similar, and he is not a fierce general.

When attacking again, both departments took out all their strength, thirty large wooden ladders on the left and right were densely arranged, the main general and the soldiers poured up like a tide, and the Shu army resisted the kung fu of a cup of tea, as a result, Zhou Qingchen and Jiang Hui fled with their own soldiers first, resulting in the collapse of the Shu army, and the cattle village was easily taken.

In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Yanhuan sent troops to garrison the Xiaheba Military Fort, and led the three armies to meet up, where the whole army rested, and held a military meeting to agree on the subsequent march strategy.

At the same time, the Shu general Zhou Qingchen fled south to the mighty city, and immediately flew to report to the city of Fengzhou, and the assassin Wang Wandi was shocked, and went to the marshal's mansion to ask for Wang Huan, the envoy of the mighty army, and Zhao Chongpu, the commander of the mighty army.

Wang Huan was remorseful when he heard this, he had sent away Wang Zhaoyuan, the privy councillor five days ago, and now that the eight dangerous villages in the north of Fengzhou have been lost, he has to bear the responsibility himself. The three of them discussed and decided to strengthen the defense of Liangquan County in Fengzhou Prefecture, and Zhao Chongpu, the capital supervisor, led 2,500 troops to the north to reinforce Weiwu City, and at the same time sent an envoy back to Chengdu to ask for reinforcements.

In fact, although Wang Zhaoyuan, a member of the Privy Council, came to inspect, it was useless. The three prefectures of Qin, Cheng and Jie, the four major towns of northern Shu, are controlled by Han Jixun for the Xiongwu Festival; Fengzhou and Huizhou are the link system of the mighty festival king; Xingzhou and Xingyuan Mansion are the envoys of the Xuanhui North Courtyard and the Shannan West Road Jiedu envoy Han Baozheng is moderate; The source and wall states are the envoys of the Wuding Festival, which are controlled by the veteran Pang Fucheng of Shuzhong.

These four towns each guard their territory, even if Wang Zhaoyuan is a close minister of Meng Chang, they can't coordinate. Because since Meng Zhixiang's death in Shuzhong, Meng Changchu ascended the throne, Li Renhan, Li Zhao, Zhang Ye and other military generals were arrogant and authoritarian, and they were very aggressive. Meng Chang remained silent, quietly arranged, and after the three of them were killed, he no longer trusted the generals so much, and dispatched the supervising army every time there was a war, which was a bit heavy on literature and light on military force.

And the state assassin under the town also has a lot of autonomy, and he does not completely obey the commander. Therefore, Qinzhou is closest to Fengzhou, but he will not send reinforcements, otherwise it will make Meng Chang suspicious, which is thankless, Han Jixun naturally does not want to interfere in Fengzhou, and Zhao Jizha has not come yet.

When passing through Deyang, he met Zhao Jiza, the envoy of the Xiongwu Supervision Army, who took his concubine to kiss me and visit the mountains and rivers, and reported the situation of the war in Fengzhou.

Zhao Jizha was a civil official, and he was very frightened when he heard this, so he wrote to ask Meng Chang to relieve himself of his ministry and return to the court, first send his concubine and the entourage of the thousand palace guards to go first, and he rode a horse all the way to Chengdu to make a report.
