Section 1108 Battle of Gaoque (1)

********

After crossing the group of lakes called 'Wuhai', the surging North River is already close at hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, 'Wuhai' and Beihe are twin sisters.

Wuhai is a product of the flooding of the Beihe River, and at some point, the Beihe River will connect with Wuhai to form a huge Zeguo.

A hundred miles along the Beihe River, Honghu Sai appeared in front of the Han army.

At this time, Honghu Sai no longer has the prosperity of the year, and only a ruined wall remains.

The Huns did not know how to maintain the fortress, but simply maintained its existence.

Not long ago, the battle between Han and Hungary completely turned the remains of King Zhao Wuling into ruins.

Looking at this once magnificent fortress, Yizong groaned a little.

Since leaving the fortress, Yizong has seen many of Qin Zhao's former cities look bleak today.

In Jiuyuan City, only two low earthen walls remained.

The city of Qiyang completely disappeared, leaving only a few tiles scattered in the grass.

Now, even the Honghu Fortress is in ruins.

What about Gaoque City?

What will Gaoque City, which was once carefully maintained by the Qin people and regarded as the fulcrum of the Great Wall of Qin, look like?

In addition, these once famous heroic cities have been reduced to ruins in only seventy or eighty years.

Just like the song of Yin Shang, the pickaxe of Zong Zhou, was covered with grass and buried for loess.

So, is there anything else immortal in this world?

This made Yizong a little emotional and a little scared.

This reminded him of Zhou Yangyou, whom he once regarded as an enemy.

Back then, he lived to take revenge on Zhou Yangyou.

But now, Zhou Yangyou is afraid that even his bones have rotted.

Heroes and heroes, immortal achievements, strong cities, and immortal hegemony will eventually dissipate with time.

Yi Zong is afraid that thousands of years from now, people will forget him and his career today.

is like Qin Kai, the general of the Yan Kingdom who is worshiped by Yizong.

"Perhaps, I should suggest to Your Majesty that in the future, in this land between the rivers, a commemorative building should be built to commemorate the heroes who are buried here forever......" Yi Zong flashed his eyes, "just like the statues of buildings and boats standing in Incheon Port......"

Such a suggestion was once mentioned after the Battle of Mayi.

However, due to various reasons, it is still only a proposal, and it has not even been able to enter the court.

However, after winning Gao Que this time, Yizong believes that no one will dare to block the relevant proposals.

Whoever stands in the way is the enemy of the world.

The army of the commander of the righteous column arrived, and in the middle of the Honghu Fortress, the cavalry of the Cheng Buzhi Division who stayed behind immediately went out to greet him.

"The last general has seen the general of the chariot!" He came to Yizong, gave a military salute, and reported: "General Cheng asked the last general to tell the general: Gaoque City is no longer a problem, please prepare to hunt down and kill the remnants of the Xiongnu after Gaoque City is broken!" ”

Yi Zong nodded, he already knew that across the river, the Han army was building a terrible siege weapon.

According to the Mo family, in the face of that kind of weapon, even Hangu Pass will be vulnerable.

As for Gao Que? It was only a matter of time before it fell.

Although I don't know what kind of weapon it is, the Mo family never lies, and no one dares to lie and deceive on such a big thing.

Therefore, Gao Que will inevitably fall.

The main responsibility of the Han army, especially the Yizong Division, was to leave the Huns near Gaoque as much as possible after the city of Gaoque was broken.

This is also the strategic task of the Battle of Gaoque issued by the Son of Heaven - the strategy of the Han army, not only to capture Gaoque and recapture the hometown of Qin and Zhao.

It is even more necessary to eliminate the living force of the Xiongnu through the Battle of Gaoque as much as possible.

The battle of Heyin only severely damaged the two 10,000 horsemen of the Xiongnu, annihilated one, and forced the landing of one.

Among them, there are only two Xiongnu headquarters.

This is far from achieving the strategic goal of the Han family's exit from the fortress.

According to pre-war estimates, the Han army would annihilate at least four or more Xiongnu cavalry and inflict heavy losses on four.

Because, if the battle of Gaoque goes well, then, from now on, there will not be many opportunities to get such a good battle.

In the war chess deduction of Chang'an, for the Han family, the worst situation is that the Huns will give up the entire south of the curtain, turtle speed to the north of the curtain, with the cover and isolation of the big curtain, run the Western Regions, suck blood through the western expedition, and confront the Han family.

Once that happens, it will be a disaster for the Han family!

And in that case, the probability of occurrence accounts for a great probability in the deduction of the Han family!

Once this happens, the Han family loses the possibility of a quick victory.

The Han-Hungarian War will enter a terrible and difficult tug-of-war.

In order to send 50,000 troops outside the fortress and fight against the Xiongnu, the Han army mobilized almost half of the northern country, and the treasury was almost dry.

If it is an expedition of thousands of miles, the cost will probably increase exponentially!

Therefore, in order to achieve the strategic goal of quick victory, the Han army must eliminate the living forces of the Xiongnu as much as possible under the city of Gaoque, and prevent them from returning to the grassland.

Let go of a Hun cavalry here, and in the future, it may take several times as many resources as today to destroy them.

"Has the specific map of Gaoque City and its vicinity been mapped?" Yi Zong asked.

"General Huiyu, this is the map of the Gaoque Baili region surveyed and mapped by the Kanyu Division of Shaofu!" Hearing this, Sima took out a map from his bosom and handed it to Yizong.

Yi Zong took it, looked at it, and then ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, set up camp, and cross the river tomorrow!" ”

As a result, the main force of the Han army led by Yi Zong was on the side of Honghu Sai and set up camp.

At the same time, Yi Zong took the map of Gaoque that had just been drawn and studied it.

The map drawn by the Kanyu Division of Shaofu, even in Chang'an, is an extremely rare treasure.

Almost every member of the Kanyu Division is a Feng Shui master who is famous in the county.

These Feng Shui masters are good at looking at the terrain and have a deep geographical attainment.

However, in the past, they relied on their own learning and talent to engage in swagger and deception.

Until, when today's son came to power, these giants of the Kanyu faction were co-opted and made them professional mappers of the Han family.

Looking at the map, Yizong fell into deep thought.

Judging from the map, Gaoque Fortress is like a floodgate, locking the traffic between the north and south of Yangshan.

If you want to cross Yangshan, you can only have two options.

One: Crossing the valley road behind Gaoque City.

2: Go around a large circle of hundreds or even thousands of miles, from the other side of the grassland, through the Yin Mountain into the south bank of Gaoque.

It is almost impossible to have a third option.

Because, Beihe and Yangshan jointly block this possibility.

The North River, to the east of Gaoque, winds a huge bend and forms a huge drop.

The river is rolling and roaring downward.

Just like the Longmen Canyon, it makes any attempt to bypass the high gate impossible.

Unless, the Han army can fly.

Otherwise, you can only choose to attack Gaoque.

At least, there is no second road on this map other than Gaoque.

Of course, if you can climb through the Yangshan Mountain, which is hundreds or even hundreds of zhang high, it will be another matter. (To be continued.) )
