At this point, it can be seen how bad Yu Jing's mobilization order is. Come on,.!

There are not many troops left in Sanguan and Yizhai, and once they hear that there is a police in Thang Long City, the main army of Jiaozhi will inevitably retreat. No matter how many troops Yu Jing recruits in the rear, he will not be able to send them to the field, where is the pressure in Sanguan and Yizhai, but how to transport the troops to the south?

There is no way to go, unless he leads a large army south from Qinzhou and forcibly breaks a road from Sumaoman to support Yongping Village. There are some trails on the 100,000 mountains, but they have been sealed. And regardless of the cost of arriving at Yongping Village, it is not possible to support Zhennanguan, although it is not far away, there is no direct road, all of which are blocked by the vast mountains. Or forcibly out of Yongping Village, regardless of the danger of colliding with the main force of the Jiaozhi people, to reach Ximen Prefecture, Siming Prefecture, and then go back to Pingxiang Pass and arrive at Zhennan Pass?

It's impossible.

Sooner or later, people will know, but if they are delayed for one day, the difficulty of three passes and one village will be reduced by one point. And it was in a hurry, and the fourth-step plan was not realized.

There is also a fourth-step plan.

Relying only on the troops in ambush, it is very difficult to hold on to three passes and one village.

But there are some troops available, that is, the barbarians who have been victimized by Jiaozhi, and the closer these tribes are to Sanguan and Yizhai, the denser the tribes that have been victimized.

It's not just hatred, the pockets are tied up, the sleepiness is not dead, the Jiaozhi blessing is great, and Zheng Lang will be in danger in the south. If it is pierced, the tribes inside the bag will be in danger. Grain and grass! Jiaozhi launched an attack on the Song Dynasty with a big grin, and there were only 20,000 people in logistics, and these people not only had to escort grain and grass, but also weapons, tents, daily necessities, medicinal materials, siege equipment, and how much grain and grass could they bring? Eat what you don't have. The starving people can turn into devils, and besides, they are a cruel army.

Not many tribes may understand the truth, but this is a simple truth.

A mobilization. and many tribes will cooperate.

Not only can they strengthen the forces guarding the pass, but they can also move their people to Guannan in a different direction. Tribes that were hostile to the Song Dynasty joined if they wanted to join. Instead, Kannan became a safe place. Unless Cochin sends reinforcements over, how is that possible?

These people are in Guannan, and once the barrier is broken, all the people will suffer. Will the barbarian tribes be more desperate?

Due to the haste of the incident, this plan could not be fully implemented. While urgently carrying supplies, envoys were dispatched to mobilize. There are some tribes, such as the Pingxiang tribes. The losses were very heavy, and the mountains of Luzhou and Su Maoman were the enemies of life and death, and Su Maoman invaded on a large scale, and the losses were not small. Hearing the messenger's message, some tribes promptly transferred the people to Guannan, set up a large camp, and drew out strong men to come to Guanshang. But there are still not many of them.

By the next day. Some tribes were moving, but the Jiaozhi army had arrived. Unceremoniously carried out inhumane massacres on the way. The battle for the defense has finally begun.

In fact, Wu Er still did not receive news that Zheng Lang's army had launched an attack on Thang Long City from the sea.

Yu Jingguang issued a mobilization order, and Zhang Qi intuitively told him that it would be bad, so he ordered the people of all villages on the front line to spontaneously organize themselves and patrol the roads. Prevent enemy spies from sneaking through dense mountains and forests to bring news to the people of Jiaozhi.

After blocking it, he really caught more than 20 Jiaozhi spies. In the same way, the Song Dynasty spy battalion suffered even heavier losses on the other side. When the war came to a critical juncture, intelligence was particularly important, and the scout operations of the special service battalion became aggressive, and many scouts were discovered one after another. However, there is no such thing as recruiting the secret service camp, in that case, instead of begging for death, you can't even want to die, you will suffer the most difficult sin in the world.

Zhang Qi's move won some time buffer, and he transferred 5,000 soldiers to go up the Youjiang River, and when the main army of Jiaozhi was on the east side, he detoured from Hengshanzhai to Guangyuan Prefecture, that is, the road at the beginning of Nong Zhigao's rebellion, and entered Guangyuan Prefecture with a large number of weapons, and then detoured to Qiyuan Prefecture from Guangyuan Prefecture.

They were all foot soldiers, and they were carrying weapons and baggage, and the speed of this line could not be fast. I don't know if I'll be able to get there in time.

But Wu Er and Li Changjie finally woke up.

I didn't think of it at first, even if it was blocked in Taipingzhai, I still didn't think of it. There is no him, because of Anyuan City. The Song Dynasty built 12 villages and 3 passes, destroying the path can be understood, there are tens of thousands of Han households in the 12 villages, but there are many strong barbarians in the south, of course, there are their own Jiaozhi. There are these big villages can protect the safety of the Han households behind, the longest strength of the Song army is to defend the city, the prime minister did not go too far, in the northwest is called the real repair of the village, built hundreds of forts, Hebei Hedong also has a lot. But can not rest assured, so in front of the construction of a powerful three passes and a village, after the south of the three passes, the Song Dynasty to the control ability here declined, there are three passes and a village in the front, there are twelve villages behind, not only conducive to the protection of the security of the Han household, but also conducive to the rule of the Song Dynasty.

But if you are prepared for Jiaozhi, you will not be able to repair Anyuan City very thinly. It's not just a matter of labor, the two times before last year and the year before that, the highest hourly labor was nearly 1 million people, and if the man-hours saved by gunpowder digging and drilling rocks are included, it is equivalent to adding 200,000 laborers. It may be more than that, with an investment of nearly 70 million, such a large project can definitely be ranked among the top few in the history books. If you are prepared for Jiaozhi, you will not be able to draw tens of thousands of more people, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars, to build a stronger Anyuan City?

Because of an Anyuan City, which was blocked in Taipingzhai, Wu Er didn't care too much.

It wasn't until his pockets were put away that he thought of a problem, although Anyuan City was thin, it had to be attacked from the sea, and he couldn't have more troops.

Hearing the news that Sanguan had changed hands, Wu Er and Li Changjie did not immediately send troops to counterattack, but were guessing the tactics of the Song Dynasty.

Could it be that the Song Dynasty really wanted to trap so many of its troops here?

Not convinced.

Several major generals gathered to discuss, and after discussing for a long time, Wu Er finally let Wu Er vaguely guess the truth bit by bit.

The first is the decisive pass.

This is a very crucial step, the Song Dynasty deliberately made an unequipped appearance in order to tempt Jiaozhi to send troops, and even sat back and watched Anyuan City crumble. But without equipment, his army is coming, and he will drive straight in, and Yongzhou is dangerous. Therefore, he forcibly captured the Duli Pass, dragged his army for a few days, and the rear had time to prepare, and then calmly withdrew to Sanguan. Block again from the third level. Let yourself be short of food and grass, wantonly plunder, and the news came out. Later, the barbarians retreated, and because they were worried about the fate of those tribes who were plundered, they in turn made a concerted effort to assist the Song army in the battle. There are troops.

even forced himself to send troops to Guangyuan Prefecture. caused some tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture to defect to the Song Dynasty, and the most marginal piece of the pocket was also put away.

In the past, the Song Dynasty had few troops in Liangguang, and now it seems that this judgment is also wrong. The regular army is small, but there are people. These people are either local tyrannical barbarians or poor immigrants, and when they see the results of Quang Nam East Road, they don't want the bright future to be ruined by Jiaozhi. Moreover, there are also rich rewards to motivate the people to go to war. Even so. These civilians have very low combat effectiveness. So I have always despised it before, but with the cooperation of these heavy trucks, then these ordinary people can come in handy.

Very close to the real truth.

However, Wu Er still did not believe that the Song army could eat all of his army.

The reason why Taiping Village has not been captured now is because it is impossible to accept heavy losses, and if the losses are not counted, no matter which walled city, Wu Er is sure to capture it.

Vuer won't do it. If that's the case, even if you capture Taipingzhai, how can you capture Yongzhou City, and how can you capture Yongzhou City, how can you capture other parts of the Song Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty wanted to swallow it all and force itself to die. With Zhennanguan and Yongping Village, can you trap your army?

That is, this pocket is tied very unreasonably.

After discussing for a long time, suddenly Wu Er was terrified, he thought of a serious problem, Song didn't need to eat his army, as long as he was trapped for more than ten days, the rear ......

It just so happened that he had read a book of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and Wu Er thought of Guan Yu's defeat of Maicheng. As long as the Song Dynasty can make a surprise attack, attack Thang Long City, capture the royal family and domestic important ministers together, and keep their families in custody, the army under their command will be dispersed.

Would the Song people have the guts?

He didn't believe it, but he still decided to send 10,000 troops, divide Yongpingzhai and Zhennanguan, and ordered to capture Zhennanguan and Yongpingzhai regardless of sacrifice. It doesn't matter if the Song people have the courage or not, they have to control Zhennanguan and Yongping Village in their hands. Until here, he regretted that there were fewer troops left in Sanguan and Yizhai.

10,000 troops went south, and he sat in his tent and still sat like pins and needles.

He also sent many scouts over the mountains and forests to the Song Realm to inquire about the news.

One by one, the scouts were caught, but the scouts outside finally brought the news in.

Li Rizun and Wu Er's expressions changed greatly.

Li Rizun was about to send troops back to China, but was stopped by Wu Er: "Crown prince, don't be in a hurry." ”

Then sit down and meditate, the Song Dynasty launched a large-scale militia to defend the city, which was somewhat unexpected to him. Suddenly hated his sluggishness in the decisive pass, and at that time he should have thought that the Song Dynasty would block his army in front of the pass and win precious time, which would allow the Song Dynasty to calmly organize the militia to serve as a defense.

I'm a little too upset.

I didn't expect these ordinary people to play so well, not only blocking their army in front of the Twelve Passes, but also guarding Anyuan City for 19 days.

Leaving these militias behind, he has two options before him. The first option is to withdraw the troops immediately and return home, if the prime minister can be caught, it can also make up for the result of the unsuccessful dispatch of troops. If he is not caught, this sacrifice will be huge, and it will bring many bad consequences to Jiaozhi, and his career will be over.

There is another option, since the Song Dynasty divided its troops to the south, it must send regular troops. However, the regular army of the Song Dynasty was not much in Liangguang, even if Zhang Qi's reinforcements were counted, it was still very nervous, and it was not easy to hold the twelve passes. Then there will be a possibility, the Song Dynasty in Liangguang all the troops are concentrated in front of the twelve villages, as long as the twelve villages are broken through, Yongzhou City is an empty city at this time, and even all the cities in Liangguang have become empty cities. If the Song army wants to capture Thang Long City, even if there are not many domestic troops, it will be delayed for a while. His own army descended from Yongzhou, and the Song army was forced to withdraw its troops to come back to help. And forced the Song army to have to engage in field battles with themselves, so that the advantage of their own forces could be brought into play.

I didn't know how to choose between the two options, so I said my thoughts.

Li Rizun disagrees with the latter.

Li Changjie was pondering, and finally said: "General Wu, can you be sure that the north and south will capture the two villages?" ”

"The superintendent army is ......" Wu Er stopped talking, although his latter idea is good, but if he doesn't send troops to rescue Shenglong City, in case something happens, his responsibility is not only his responsibility, Li Changjie and others are also responsible, I'm afraid that Li Rizun, who is in the army, will not let him go in the first place. One saves. It can only be divided into troops, and it is difficult to capture a village, and besides, it is difficult to divide troops to attack from north to south. He sighed and said, "Let's withdraw our troops." ”

Yu Jing issued a mobilization order. When the people heard the news, they joined the army one after another, but when they came to Yongzhou, they didn't have much effect. Even Zhang Qi used an army to protect grain to fight against the Western Xia army. But they did not dare to take these people into the wilderness and fight a decisive battle with the Jiaozhi people.

I watched the Jiaozhi army frantically rush to the south, attacking Zhennanguan and Yongping Village. Zhang Qi didn't expect the Jiaozhi army to withdraw so simply, which also put a lot of pressure on him. I don't dare to save it, not to mention that there are not many troops in my hands, but most of them are militiamen, which are not suitable for field warfare, and even if they are suitable, they dare not lead the army out. Once defeated, there will be no troops available in the back pass, so that the enemy can counterattack back to Yongzhou, and the big thing will be done. Therefore, he ordered Zhang Bao to lead 3,000 militia to set off from Hengshanzhai again and detour from Guangyuan Prefecture to Zhennanguan for support.

However, as soon as Zhang Bao came out of Zhangwu Village, which was set up in Zhangwu Prefecture, he was ambushed and the whole army was annihilated. Only about 500 soldiers fled back to Zhangwuzhai. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but he also allowed the Jiaozhi people to get a large number of advanced weapons, and Zhang Qi had to cut off the idea of dividing troops to help.

The truly tragic battle was fought in the South......

Guo Kui lowered his head, avoided the spear stabbed by the Jiaozhi people, and used the knife in his hand as a gun. Straight poked. Then the knife was withdrawn, and blood sprayed all over the body. He just wiped his eyes with his hand and pounced on the next enemy.

Another wave of enemy attacks was repulsed.

Guo Kui's eyes looked at the East Ridge and the West Ridge, as well as the pass.

The terrain of Zhennanguan is very treacherous, there are Dongling Mountains in the east, there are Xiling Mountains in the west, the two mountains face each other, a basin valley with a width of two or three miles in the middle, and a basin valley that is four or five miles long. The place where the two ridges and crosses are connected forms a pass, and the north-south highway must pass through this pass. So Zheng Lang built a flat city with a length of more than two miles on this pass, with the city gate in the middle, and two huge castles on both sides looking down on the north and south sides. This pass has far exceeded the scale of any Zhennan Pass in history.

Fortunately, the current population is far less dense than in later generations, whether it is Fengwei Mountain in the west, or the large and small green mountains in the east, there are dense jungles, and there are only two paths, but Zheng Lang artificially blew up a cliff with gunpowder, and there is a post on the cliff, which is stationed dozens of soldiers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, this was only a theory, and the Song Dynasty had fewer troops, and because the roads in the hiding place were difficult, the weapons stored were also insufficient.

As the Jiaozhi army turned around and came to Zhennan Pass, they gradually ran out of troops and weapons.

Luckily, Zhao Xun arrived in time with 5,000 soldiers and weapons, otherwise Pingerguan would definitely have been lost.

But under the frantic attack of the Cochins, there are fewer and fewer soldiers on the level.

Nong Zongdan sent a thousand soldiers to help, his kindness made Guo Kui a little unexpected, a thousand barbarian soldiers arrived, the strength increased slightly, but because of the lack of weapons to defend the city, they could not prevent the Jiaozhi people from climbing the city wall, and still let a large number of soldiers die in bloody battles every day.

Looking at the sun setting with blood, Zhao Xun said, "It's the twelfth day." ”

"Yes, it's been twelve days, and we can still support it for a few days, so I'm worried about General Yang's side. They only had 2,000 soldiers, and reinforcements could not arrive, so they did not know if they could hold it. ”

Zhao Xun did not speak.

Because of the road, the two places are blocked, and they can't be connected with each other, so they can only look and see that the crazy offensive of the Jiaozhi army is non-stop, which proves that the Yongping Village garrisoned by Yang Wenguang is still there, and if the Jiaozhi people retreat, the Yongping Village will also prove that it is lost.

It was getting close to dusk, and the two sides were supposed to rest, but the marching horn sounded again in the Jiaozhi barracks.

Night Attack!

It is also necessary to tackle key problems at night.

After a lot of hard work, the scouts of Cochin finally brought the news that Thang Long City was in danger, and this news was sent ten days ago. Hearing the news, all the soldiers of Jiaozhi were anxious together. The dense and deadly offensive was like a raging storm, making Zhennan Pass crumbling at any time.

It's a life-and-death battle.

Let the Jiaozhi people capture Zhennan Pass, the army withdraws, Zheng Lang is in danger, and Thang Long City can be saved. The Song army did not lose the three passes, and if the city of Shenglong was taken, Jiaozhi would be in danger of destroying the country. Even if Zheng Lang's army can turn around and return again to help guard the pass, the Jiaozhi people are short of food and grass, and hunger can starve this army to death in their pockets.

Under the day and night attack of the Jiaozhi people, Zhennan Pass can barely be held, but Yang Wenguang's side is in danger, three passes and one village, and the most troops in his hands reach 2,000 people, because of the hatred of Luzhou Barbarians for Su Maoman and Jiaozhi people, so that he has recruited more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers to join.

But on the fourteenth day, Yang Wenguang himself was injured in many places, not to mention, 1,500 soldiers fell, and more than 1,000 barbarians died. So that there are only more than 1,000 soldiers left in Yongping Village.

Seeing that because of the lack of troops, more and more Jiaozhi soldiers poured into the city, Yang Wenguang sighed. Unable to defeat this wave of attacks of the Cochins. The barbarian people outside the city probably saw this situation and there was a commotion, and some of the people were ready to flee. Even the remaining hundreds of brute soldiers who were fighting were unstable.

Just when this thousand troops were launched, an army appeared in the distance, and there was a red flag in the army, and the red **** people ............)
