On April 20th, the guards who explored the water conditions of Danshui finally returned, the Danshui at that time was completely different from the topography and landform after more than 1,000 years, most of them passed between the steep banks of the canyon, the riverbed was more dangerous, the basin section was flat and wide and the water was gentle, especially the higher it went, the more turbulent the water flowed, but compared with the modern Danjiang River, the water volume was much more abundant.

Attack Wuguan, dozens of zhang long big ship is not able to bring, can only be temporarily built flat-bottomed boat as a carrier, this kind of boat length is less than ten zhang, carrying about 100 people, ballista directly placed on the ship, there is no keel watertight warehouse, is temporary use.

On the first day of the fifth month, Wei Feng led 20,000 sailors, divided into 200 small boats, from Xiangyang, headed for the upper reaches of the Han River in the northwest, entered Danshui at Junxian (now Danjiangkou City, Hubei Province), about 250 miles away from Xiangyang, and then continued to the northwest.

Into the Danshui, sure enough, it is very different from the Han River, the main stream of the Danshui is 390 kilometers long, but the drop is as high as 1,400 meters, the boat is full of personnel, grain and grass, arrows and stone bullets, which also means that to row to the upper reaches of the river, the speed is slow on the one hand, on the other hand, it takes more effort, and it takes more effort to encounter the dangerous beach, the dangerous beach is simply a human life, the dangerous beach is due to the turbulent current, and the oars alone can not row at all, only the boat can dock, along the uneven valley to pull the fiber, a boat by boat, the action is very slow, Sometimes it was not even thirty or fifty miles a day, and it was the most difficult march of all the expeditions in Weifeng.

From Junxian to Wuguan, the waterway is about 700 miles, it took a month, on the first day of June, Wuguan finally appeared in sight, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

Opposite. The defenders of Wuguan were shocked when they saw the sudden boats in the river, and the rapid sound of the gong suddenly exploded!

Wei Feng immediately shouted: "Brothers, surround the city from three sides, attack with all your might!" ”

The shouts of slaughter erupted in the sky, and the sailors rowed their ships as hard as if they had been beaten with blood, each loaded with four throwing ballistas, from a few stone shells at the beginning to more and more as the ships poured in later. Dense stone bullets are overwhelmingly entering the city!

Because the Jin army appeared too suddenly. A considerable number of the nearly 100 trebuchets in the city were blown into a pile of rotten wood before they were loaded with stone bullets, and the occasional stone bullets did not bring much shame. But the good thing is that the river is right next to the city. Defenders can risk their lives to shoot arrows. Or throw rocks, but the success rate is not high, and most people just probe. Immediately be shot by a powerful crossbow arrow!

Guancheng was even more devastated, the area of Guancheng was small, stone bullets came from three directions, not only the head of the city, more directly thrown into the city, in addition to being close to the mountain wall and the center of the city, the whole city was within the range of stone bullets!

It can be heard clearly outside the city, in addition to the shouts and screams, but also mixed with the sound of the rumbling house collapse, Wang Zhenwei praised from the bottom of his heart: "The ballista is indeed extremely sharp, with this sharp weapon in hand, I am afraid that there is no city in the world that cannot be destroyed." ”

Wei Feng nodded, but he didn't answer the question: "General Wang, with your talent, it is indeed a little wronged to follow me, so let's break the Guancheng, you lead a thousand troops to set off the next day, attack or surrender Shibao Fengsui, and then return to Xiangyang to lead five thousand troops, recruit and surrender Nanxiang, Shunyang, Xinye and other twelve counties, you can be stationed in Nanyang, I will return to Jiangling and show the court that you are Nanyang Taishou, how about it?" ”

Wang Zhenwei was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, general!" ”

Wei Feng grimaced and reminded: "General Wang, please forgive me for being a villain first and then a gentleman, I heard that you are so precious and valuable, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"This" Wang Zhenwei showed an embarrassed look, he was a smart person, how could he not understand that Wei Feng was warning himself?

Wei Feng glanced at him lightly, and said: "Ling Zu Jingsheng Gong (Wang Meng) meritorious deeds, virtue is even more convincing to the world, General Wang is the grandson of Jingsheng Gong, how to deal with things, there should be a number, I just want to remind a sentence, Nanxiang, Shunyang, Xian and other twelve counties have suffered from military disasters for many years, and they are already in distress, and I hope that General Wang can appease and compassionate, in fact, with your talent, it is not impossible to be crowned and worship the prime minister in the future, and it is not impossible to enter the center, what do you want?" Why do you want to defeat your Beihai Wang's family? What might be the truth of what Ben is saying? ”

Beads of sweat oozed from Wang Zhen's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured general, the last general will never do anything to ruin the general's reputation!" ”

Wei Feng's face softened a little, and said with a slight smile: "General Wang is temporarily stationed in Nanyang, he will attack Luoyang in the future, and then you and I will divide our troops and fight in Guanzhong, and level the Qin State in one fell swoop!" ”

Wang Zhen was secretly happy, Wei Feng's hint was obvious, he had the intention of letting himself attack Luoyang alone, and regaining the old capital was not only an honor, but also a great merit, so he solemnly gave a salute: "The last general will follow the general's arrangement!" ”

Wei Feng nodded, to be honest, a foreign general like Wang Zhenwei is far inferior to the generals he brought out, Jiang Xuan, Xiang Mi and others may not be as good as Wang Zhenwei when it comes to ability and talent, but they can understand his mind, and they don't have too many vices, and they don't need to wake up if they know what to do and what not to do.

But as the territory gets bigger and bigger, Wei Feng also needs more and more generals who can stand alone on one side, not to mention that anyone who wants to achieve great things needs to recruit talents from all walks of life.

Wei Feng took a deep look at Wang Zhen Evil again, and suddenly, a loud bang came, followed by a loud cheer that shook the sky, it turned out that the city gate was broken!

Wuguan is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is surrounded by mountains, three sides of the water are surrounded by ships, the city gate is broken, with the sergeant killed, the Qin army can not escape, had to kneel and surrender, the whole operation, from building ships, to exploring the way, and then to marching, it took half a year to prepare, but the real combat time, only a short hour!

The results of the battle were quickly counted, nearly 500 people were killed and injured on their side, more than a dozen ships were sunk, and the Qin army had 5,000 defenders, more than 2,000 dead and wounded, and more than 2,000 people were captured, and none of them ran away!

The Qin troops who died in the battle were immediately buried, the wounded soldiers were bandaged and treated, and the prisoners were left behind according to their personal wishes, and those who did not surrender were released on the spot.

The small castle is busy, Wei Feng stands at the head of the city and looks west, faintly, you can see a large area of earthy yellow fields, obviously there are eight hundred miles of Qinchuan ahead, the army can kill all the way to Chang'an City, but Wei Feng is not in a hurry to attack Chang'an, because Yao Xing's strength is not damaged, attacking Chang'an will evolve into a war of attrition, and it will be cheaper for others, in short, mastering Wuguan will grasp the initiative in using troops against Qin, which is enough.

In fact, in Wei Feng's eyes, although Wei is strong, there are two major dead holes, so Wei Feng's first choice is Wei State, as long as Wei State is broken, Yan State will no longer have to worry about it, except for surrender, Yan people will not have a second way to go, and even some small and medium-sized forces around will surrender without a fight!

But the so-called risks and opportunities coexist, although the death hole of Wei is a good prescription for a quick victory, but it must take a big risk, Wei Feng's eyes looked in the direction of Chang'an, and his brows were tightly locked, considering the pros and cons

The next day, Wang Zhenwei took the ashes of the fallen soldiers and led a thousand troops out of Wuguandong, the city was lost, and the Qin army stationed in Shibao Fengsui had to surrender one after another, and there was no way to surrender if they didn't surrender, the supply was cut off, and they would hold out for more than ten days, and they would be cut off from water and food.

After letting people send Wei Feng the message that everything was going well, Wang Zhenwei went to Xiangyang as fast as possible, Wei Feng was not in a hurry to leave, he needed to strengthen the city defense, after all, Wuguan faced the open terrain on the side of Guanzhong, Yao Xing was fully capable of organizing enough manpower to attack, and the rear of Wuguan was a sheep intestine road, and the supply materials were inconvenient to transport, and he was not negligent at all, he didn't want Wuguan to be taken away by Yao Xing as soon as he arrived.

The two hundred boats brought were dragged ashore and dismantled, used to build houses and other facilities in the city, Wei Feng had given up the idea of taking the waterway, Danshui only had to go once, no one wanted to go a second time, Wei Feng would rather take the land route, and return to Xiangyang by thousands of miles.

In just five days, the news of the loss of Wuguan was transmitted back to Chang'an, and there was a big earthquake in Guanzhong!

In the Taiji Hall of Chang'an, Yao Xing was at the top, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, and His Royal Highness's ministers were also full of solemnity, and there was an extremely depressing atmosphere in the hall.

Yao Xing swept his eyes coldly, and said angrily: "Wuguan is so solid that it will be lost, are those soldiers guarding the pass a waste?" I heard that more than 2,000 people were captured and released, but? Hum! Lost an important pass, the sin is unforgivable, spread my will, beheaded! ”

"Your Majesty is slow!" Shang Shu's right servant shot Di Bozhi and dissuaded: "The loss of Wuguan has been deeply understood by the returning soldiers, but it is the Jin State Jingzhou Assassin Shi Weifeng who failed to attack by land, but instead traced Danshui to attack by water, and the defenders of the city were caught off guard and lost the city in an instant.

Since ancient times, although Wuguan is a place where soldiers must fight, but no one is attacked by waterway, General Wei takes the waterway, and Deng Ai smuggled through the Yinping trail is quite similar, and the crime of losing the city is not a war.

I heard that General Wei is good at using strange soldiers, before there was an attack on Jingkou, a big break on Sun En, and then a lone army went deep into the hinterland of Yan State, captured Murong Xi, the lord of Yan, and now relied on boats and boats, and attacked Wuguan by surprise, this person is full of wisdom and is extremely difficult, even if Wei Tuoba Yi also suffered a big loss in his hands, how can ordinary soldiers meet this person, how can they please him? Please ask Your Majesty to be gracious and allow the more than 2,000 soldiers to make meritorious contributions! ”

Yao Xingzi, Yongzhou Thorn History, Shang Shuling, Shizhong, General, and Guangping Gong Yao Bi also arched their hands: "Your Majesty, General Wei released more than 2,000 soldiers with bad intentions, just to let the released soldiers be grateful to him and come back to spread it, so Your Majesty can't kill him, and if you kill it, you will have a bad reputation, or the army's heart will change!" ”

"Hmm~~" Yao Xing muttered: "Okay, spare their lives for the time being, but at present, the Wei army is besieging Luoyang, and the battle situation is deadlocked, but the Wuguan is lost, and our side is in an extremely disadvantageous position, everyone say, what should we do next?" (To be continued......)
