Wang Xu didn't ask for more details, just as Xiang Tian secretly speculated, it was evasion!

He had enough responsibilities now, and a lot of things to do, that he really didn't have the heart or the power to know more. He knew that if he knew more, it would be an unimaginable burden, and even made him unable to keep up his spirit in the future and shake his belief to continue.

As for some small doubts in the past, he was able to guess them after knowing a rough idea. For example, why the mission is to promote development, but all the core knowledge that can affect the leapfrog development of science and technology in his mind has disappeared inexplicably, and everything can only be re-studied, the reason is very simple, as revealed to the sky, the power of those people is also limited, the rules are there, maybe you can drill a loophole, but you can't ignore the existence of the rules!

After separating from Xiangtian, Wang Xu did not go to see Ma Yunluo again, but only asked Wang Yueying to take proper care, and then returned to the military camp outside the city.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yun personally led 3,000 elite soldiers and began to launch an attack on the northwest artery of the Bird Clan, which opened the prelude to a comprehensive strategy and stability.

Now, the main force of the stable Liangzhou army has been killed in Chang'an, and the Chu State has only more than 20,000 soldiers of the Northern Army stationed in Chang'an, and the Pingbei general Deng Zhi is the commander of this army, and he also took the fifteen-year-old Deng Ai to train there. Even if you count the soldiers who escaped from the siege of Qi County, plus the Yongzhou Assassin Shifa is urgently recruiting some county soldiers to help defend the city, it is impossible to support it for too long.

Therefore, Wang Xu chose not to fully withdraw his troops, but to resolve the danger of Chang'an by encircling Wei and saving Zhao, which can be said to be a dangerous move, and he had to adjust the rhythm of the entire attack to the fastest.

There are five main routes to various parts of Anding-gun. Now all of them are contained by the Liangzhou Army. Fortifications and fortifications were erected. It was difficult for the Chu army to further advance into the territory of Anding, and Zhao Yun had fought fiercely with the Liangzhou army here earlier, but they were also equal.

Now, although Wang Xu has led elite soldiers and strong generals to reinforce, but this battle is not won by a large number of people after all, and Bird's County is in the middle of the Liupan Mountain Range, not far from the main peak Liupan Mountain, and the surrounding terrain is full of dangerous terrain, and the Liangzhou army is not stupid. How can the containment road choose a large area of open area, the camp and fortifications are all in places where the terrain is relatively favorable, narrow roads, passes, etc., and it is good to have a 1,000-person engagement surface, and whether it can be broken or not depends on the brave fighting and effective methods of the soldiers.

If the fight is not good, the pile of 100,000 people there is also lined up to kill, if the fight is good, and the enemy makes a mistake, the more than 1,000 warriors can break through the enemy village.

Not long after Zhao Yun personally attacked the northwest artery, Wang Xu then sent people to cut down trees near the left side of the battleground. Make it look like you want to open up a new road, and continue to put pressure on the Liangzhou army on this road.

Night. Wang Xu sent Kou Feng to lead a small group of men and horses over the mountains, intending to raid the enemy camp on this road, but the Liangzhou army was discovered, sent troops to block it, and was forced to retreat!

At noon the next day, Xu Huang's son Xu Gai was ordered to block the water source of the Liangzhou army on this road, but was repelled by Li Kanbu, who came to the aid of Linjing, the capital of Anding County.

The successive defeats made Wang Xu seem to be annoyed and ashamed, and launched a full-scale attack on the enemy's five-way defenders, especially the northwest road, and various means emerged one after another, not only the Liangzhou generals, but even the soldiers of the Chu State thought that the situation must be very urgent and worried.

In the next ten days, Wang Xu can be said to be dancing on the edge of the cliff, looking forward to Chang'an holding on for more time, but unswervingly according to the predetermined plan.

At this time, the Liangzhou soldiers were excited, because they stopped the attack of the famous King of Chu, but Chang'an was already in danger, and the Liangzhou generals kept telling the soldiers that as long as they insisted, as long as they persisted until Chang'an was broken, the war would end, and the King of Chu would retreat to Chu in embarrassment.

It can be said that whether it is the Liangzhou army or the Chu army, almost everyone is convinced that whether the Chu State can break through the Liangzhou defense line at the Bird Clan at this moment will determine the final outcome of this war.

If Wang Xu led the main force of the Chu State to enter Anding and cut off the main road with superior forces, then the main force that is fiercely attacking Chang'an will become a lone army far away from the enemy country, even if it really occupies Chang'an, it has become a dead army that has been cut off by the Chu State, and it is better to describe it as closing the door and fighting the dogs, no support, no supplies, panicked soldiers, unfamiliar roads, blind and chaotic, even if they rely on looting the people of Chu to maintain, at most it will cause a lot of damage, but the final outcome will definitely be the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.

On the contrary, if Wang Xu could not break through the Bird's defensive line, then there would be no danger in stability, and the main force of Liangzhou attacking Chang'an would have sufficient rear guarantee and support, and could advance and retreat, so that most of the main force of Chu on the Liangzhou front line would face a serious threat, and he would be forced to fully withdraw his troops, and then he could either pursue, intercept, or retreat according to the situation, and occupy all the initiative. Even if it is grasped well, it is not impossible to snatch the land of Guanzhong from the hands of the Chu State.

Of course, if Liangzhou wants to go south to the hinterland of Chu State, it is absolutely impossible, it simply does not have sufficient background and logistics support to maintain the long-term expedition of its army, and the number of troops is insufficient, with such a vast area as Chu State now, once the battle line of Liangzhou is extended, he does not know how to manage the occupied area, not to mention that the hundreds of thousands of troops of Chu State are not decorations, and a large number of soldiers can be mobilized everywhere in the hinterland to block it in an instant, which is something that does not need to be thought about.

Not to mention Liangzhou, even if the current Chu State is defeated in the war with Wu and Wei, then it is impossible for the two countries to continue to deepen, whether it is to defeat Jingzhou or Yongzhou, no matter how much they have to delay for a year or two before they dare to continue to march, this is the background, just like the Chu State is impossible to eat Wei or Wu State in one bite.

Therefore, the biggest result that Liangzhou can get now is nothing more than seeking the land of Guanzhong, the premise is to block Wang Xu from attacking Anding, and successfully take Chang'an, killing from behind the Chu army to Chencang and Sanguan and other places, forcing the Chu army to retreat completely, so as to find a suitable strike opportunity in the meantime and weaken the power of Chu.

The offensive and defensive battle of the Bird Clan is the key to whether Liangzhou can turn the tide of the war.

Wang Xu's ferocious attack in the past ten days, all kinds of tricks have been exhausted, although the Liangzhou defense line has been precarious several times, but in the end it was still survived!

This is the most tragic battle since the western expedition of the Chu State!

The corpses are not enough to describe such a tragic scene, and the hell on earth is not enough to explain the essence of it!

It was like a meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides, and the blood that flowed out stained the land a dark red, and the mountains and fields near the defense line were covered with blood red. The mutilated armor, the messy corpses, the broken weapons, the broken flags, and the collapsed war drums paint a tragic picture of purgatory!

Wang Xu has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and he has not seen such a tragic battle for a long time, and the last time he was so shocked was when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled. At that time of imminent victory, the mad Yellow Turban believers desperately resisted, and the nursery took his mother to commit suicide in a row, as if he was crazy because his mind was controlled.

From the second day, the intensity of this Bird Clan's offensive and defensive battle was beyond expectations, and even Wang Xu temporarily lost control of the emotions of the soldiers.

It all began at nightfall on the second day.

At that time, the general offensive began only half a day, Xu Huang's son Xu Gai personally took the vanguard, and led his troops to break through the two-layer fortifications of the Liangzhou Army in a row, cut down a large number of horses and fences, and destroyed three arrow towers. I didn't expect to continue to advance when I was attacked by a crossbowman, and I was hit by three arrows, and I almost died on the spot, and was desperately carried off the battlefield by my own guards.

His friend Zhao Guang saw his injury, he was furious, did not take the order and led his troops to attack, and slashed Tian Le, the general of Xiliang who injured Xu Gai, fought to the death and did not retreat, and bravely rushed forward, but because of impulsiveness, Zhang Heng, one of the eight strong generals of Liangzhou, was robbed, and the whole army was annihilated.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun personally led his troops to break through the formation, which saved him from being seriously injured and dying, and stabbed Zhang Heng to death in anger, but when Zhao Yun rushed out of the encirclement, he was forced to rub his back by the thousand-pound boulder rolled down from the mountain road in the melee to protect Zhao Guang, and was carried down by the guards, and since then he has fallen into a coma.

It was this successive sudden incidents that instantly detonated the monstrous anger of the officers and men of the two armies.

Beginning in the early morning of the third day, somehow, this offensive and defensive battle turned into an uncontrolled tragic battle, the generals of Chu took the lead, and the generals of Liangzhou always stood on the front line, and the two sides vented their anger in their chests as if they had agreed.

On the fourth day, the intensity of the war continued to grow, and the soldiers of the Chu State spontaneously shouted revenge and fought frantically, so that Wang Xu did not dare to stop himself, otherwise the soldiers would be resentful.

At noon, Yan Liang, who was attacking the southeast road, successfully broke into the enemy camp, and the main general Guo Xian fought to the death and did not retreat, and killed Yan Liang.

Guo Xian, the word is young and simple, he has a prestige in the Liangzhou army, and is very loved. Soon, reinforcements from Liangzhou arrived in Anding, and Yan Liang's army was already in chaos at this time, so he was forced to temporarily withdraw his troops and reorganize the attack.

On the fifth day, Chen Ying, one of the deputy marshals of the Western Army of the Frontier Army, a partial general who had followed Wang Xu for many years, was killed! Zhang Ren, the commander of the Western Army, was furious, led his troops to fight for a day and a night, broke through the front village of the enemy's formation, and even beheaded Ju Sheng and Ju Ying, and almost completely took down the enemy camp on this road, but he didn't think that he fell short on the eve of dawn, and Song Yang, a veteran of Liangzhou, led most of the reinforcements to arrive, and when Zhang Ren was exhausted, he repelled it.

On the sixth day, Yang Feng, the general of the southern barbarian state of Chu, was killed, and Wang Mi, the general of Wuwei in Liangzhou, was killed!

Such a scene made Wang Xu feel a little out of control, completely exceeding his psychological bottom line, and he had the intention to postpone the attack for a day, but Guo Jia spoke out to dissuade him: "Lord, the two armies have met in a narrow way, and they have been killed, if you don't take advantage of the situation, you will be exhausted!" ”

Wang Xu also had to dispel his thoughts because of this suggestion, but he still couldn't help but go to each front line in turn, telling Chen Dao, Yan Liang and other lords to calm down!

Ten days of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and almost all of the Liangzhou army, which was still stable, was reinforced to the Bird Clan, resisting the crazy attack of the Chu State, and everyone's eyes were also on here, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this place will determine the final result!

But no one knew that there was an army that was speeding up its horses, marching day and night, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear of the Liangzhou army, galloping rapidly in the deserted arrival, and quickly advancing towards stability...... (To be continued......)
