Chapter 357: Cloud Customs Down

After all, man is not a machine, facing a mortal situation. will react. Zhu Houhuang almost forced them to the point of besieging the city to death, and not attacking the city.

Zhu Houhuang also began to adjust the camp. Adjust the camp of the Yongjun army to the back of the valley, and block the camp of the Zhancheng army between the camp of the Yongjun army and Haiyun Pass. This is simply to prevent the mutiny of the Champa army.

But when this string breaks and tightens, it is not far from breaking. It is impossible for Zhu Houhuang not to know this, but he has already ridden the tiger.

Zhu Houhuang began to have insomnia, and he looked at the cityhead banner day and night. Although there is only a wall apart, Zhu Houhuang does not know what the situation is on the city, nor does he know what the Haiyun Pass has reached.

If he persists like this, will he break through Haiyun Pass first, or will the Champa army mutiny first?

Many times, wisdom is useless, all you need is persistence. Hold on to victory, or hold on to death.

"Your Highness," Wu Ming said as he walked over from behind.

"Master Wu, what's the matter?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

"Let's change our army to attack the city, the strength of the Cham army has been exhausted, and it must be repaired. Otherwise, if this continues, the Cham army will have to mutiny. Wu Ming said worriedly.

Zhu Houhuang said: "No, our army is still at the most critical time. ”

Wu Ming hadn't been called Master Wu by Zhu Houhuang for a long time, and he was slightly moved in his heart, and it was because he was moved that he wanted to say something psychological, and said: "Your Highness, Yunhaiguan can't be defeated, we can make a detour to Da Nang." You don't have to die here. And even if the city is to be attacked, His Royal Highness will treat it a little equally, and the minister has already heard that the city is already very dissatisfied. ”

"Of course they're happy with the win. If they can't win, they are naturally not satisfied, and what Gu has to do now is to work hard to win this battle. Needless to say, Master Wu, take a good rest, and when you are used, Gu will naturally give the order. Zhu Houhuang said coldly.

Wu Ming wanted to say something, but when he met Zhu Houhuang's cold attitude, he had to say, "Yes." After speaking, he slowly retreated.

Zhu Houhuang clenched his hand tightly, gently let go, and he took out a note, which didn't have much written on it, just the news of Wang Zhi's capture of Da Nang.

Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "Wang Zhi has really become a winner and loser all the way?" ”

He slowly tore the note to shreds. Throw them lightly and let them go with the wind.

Zhu Houhuang knew that if he informed the whole army of this news, he might be able to ease the tense atmosphere in the army, which was almost about to collapse, and you must know that the Champa army was constantly attacking the city, and nearly 10,000 people had died, and there were no less than the wounded of the dead, and there was a small battalion last night. A battalion of soldiers, all of them killed each other.

Fortunately, Zhu Houhuang had already prepared, almost like guarding against the enemy, guarding against the occupation army. This did not let the camp roar spread. However, if the conditions do not improve, it is only a matter of time before a large-scale camp roars.

Facing death every day, watching the people around him die one after another, the death is unbearable. Whose spirit can stand it?

But Zhu Houhuang knew better that he was holding his breath and letting the Cham soldiers attack. The higher-level generals and even the king of Champa knew the importance of Yunhaiguan, so they all held their breath and attacked hard. If this breath is gone. Pinning their hopes on Wang Zhi, they can't even maintain the current offensive.

And will Wang Zhi really be able to complete the task of attacking from both sides? And can the two-sided attack really defeat Yunhaiguan?

Yunhaiguan was first owned by Champong, and when it was owned by Champong, his defensive surface was northern, and later it was owned by Annam, and when it was owned by Annam, his defensive surface was southern. It can be said that the north side of Yunhaiguan is not a weakness that can be broken at the first attack.

Zhu Houhuang must plan for the worst, if the guard of Haiyun Pass is a ruthless person like Zhang Xun, even if Wang directly attacks the north of Haiyun Pass, Haiyun Pass can be stalemate.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang did not dare and could not pin all his hopes on Wang Zhi. But Wang Zhi didn't know it at the moment.

Da Nang is a seaside city, and his walls are not too thick. Wang Zhi repeated his old trick and blasted a big hole with gunpowder, which is different from Xinzhou City in that after the Cham army attacked Da Nang, it was actually driven out alive by the people of Da Nang.

I have to say that this place is different from the area around the Twin Cities.

The area around Shuangcheng is the old capital of Champong. Even though it has been taken away for fifty years. Champa still has a lot of influence over there. However, when Da Nang was in the heyday of Champ, it was not completely controlled by Champang, but the place where Annam and Champa clashed, and since Annam was powerful, Da Nang became the territory of Annam, and it has been more than 100 years so far.

For more than 100 years, Da Nang has long been the territory of the Annam people, and they have become an enemy country to the Cham people. Of course, there is also the question of the combat effectiveness of the Cham army.

Wang Zhi had no choice but to draw a large number of artillery from the naval division, with the Champa people as the vanguard, and they used artillery to press the formation in the rear, and all those who retreated were bombarded with artillery.

It took two days to capture Da Nang.

However, at this time, Da Nang was already devastated and not in shape.

It's just that Wang Zhi didn't care about this at all, and said, "Is there a shortcut to bypass to the back of Haiyun Pass?" ”

"Yes, it's just mountain roads."

Wang Zhi said: "No matter what the road, let's set off now." ”

Zhu Houhuang concealed Wang Zhi's news, but he passed on all the daily casualty records to Wang Zhi. Without any urging from Zhu Houhuang, Wang Zhi could understand Zhu Houhuang's meaning. Single-mindedly speeding up the progress.

It's just that when he got to the top of the mountain road, he felt that something was wrong.

The mountain road is indeed a mountain road, and it can only accommodate one person to walk, and two people walk in the opposite direction, but they can't get across.

Wang Zhi left all the Champa troops in Da Nang. Not trusting their battles, nor trusting his ability to march, he took hundreds of miners with him, and felt that there were too few of them, so he brought some of the sailors of the fleet with him.

Even if you have to take a mountain road, you have to go out to sea by boat to bypass a section of the mountain range, and after landing again, you will take the mountain road.

It's just that as soon as you get to the mountain road, the difference is revealed.

These miners under Wang Zhi are used to walking in the mountains and wilderness. It's time to take mountain roads, and you're used to it, but these sailors are different. These sailors are not physically inferior to Wang Zhi. It's not used to walking mountain roads. After just walking for a day, I felt that I couldn't stand it.

The mountain road is twisted and continuous, and it doesn't look far, but I don't know how many big circles have been made around the mountain.

Wang Zhi also knew this, and wanted to follow the guide to find Haiyun Pass, which was much farther than he imagined. He looked at the sailors who were walking slower and slower, and said secretly in his heart: "No, I can't go on like this, Your Highness is under the fortified city, and when you need me, I must not delay here." ”

Wang Zhi immediately made up his mind, leaving all the remaining sailors behind and following the traces left by them, while he took a few hundred miners and went to Haiyunguan first

This time the speed is much faster, about two days. Wang Zhi and his party finally arrived at an avenue.

The guide said, "This is the official way. Just south is Haiyun Pass. ”

After Wang Zhi saw hope, he was even more excited, but he immediately calmed down and cautiously approached Haiyun Pass, and a day later, they finally came to the north of Haiyun Pass.

Although they were still some distance away from Haiyun Pass, the tragic shouts of killing from the south of Haiyun Pass also came. Facing the tall city wall north of Haiyun Pass, Wang Zhi fell into contemplation for a while.

What should I do?

Wang Zhi said secretly in his heart: "It would be great if we could wait for the follow-up people to arrive, but according to the speed of those people, it will be a few days before they arrive here, not to mention, can the south maintain such an offensive, but can our group lurk here for a few days without being discovered?" But if I take Seki Castle in one fell swoop, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture it even if the people behind me come. ”

Wang Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Haiyun Pass is worthy of being the first pass in Annan. "The difficulty of the three armies lies in suspicion. Wang Zhi couldn't find the best choice, so he could only make the least bad choice.
