Chapter 119: The Situation in the Mountains and Rivers

Pingling is a strategic location, and the river flows through it. To the west of Pingling is a hundred miles of long road, and it is difficult to spread the troops, and to the east is a horse Pingchuan, until the capital of Chu Yingcheng.

From Yizhou to Jingzhou, from Ba County to Wuning County, thousands of miles of rivers, the mountains and forests are dense, the river bends, there are only a few fulcrums, Pingling is one of them.

These fulcrums are flat places where mountains and rivers meet, which are suitable for building cities and raising people.

At the height of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prefecture and the county were divided, and in order to prevent the princes from supporting the army and respecting themselves, they forcibly cut the terrain and assigned the hundreds of miles of rivers from Pingling to Guixiang to Kuimen under the rule of Jingzhou.

In this way, to the west of Yingcheng in Jingzhou, there are hundreds of miles of rivers as a buffer land.

But thirty years ago, the world was in turmoil, and the princes everywhere were constantly fighting each other. After Yang Zhong entered Shu, he took the lead and seized the hundreds of rivers that were originally the Ping Domain in the west of Jingzhou.

If Yang Xian is willing, he can raise an army of 100,000 in Xiancheng, go down the river, and reach Yingcheng in January. This is also the reason why Huan Wu wants to destroy Shu and capture Yang Xian.

After destroying Shu and killing Yang Xian, Huan Wu could garrison 300,000 troops in Yizhou. When the time comes, the land and water will advance together, and Wu Chu's demise will only be in an instant.

If the Liang army wins Shu at this moment, it will definitely not take more than five years to unify the world. But Shu can't be destroyed, and the Liang army wants to destroy Wu Chu, which can be described as difficult.

The Liang army not only had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack from north to south, but also had to face the complicated water systems and elite naval forces in Wu and Chu.

The Liang army did not hesitate to spend national strength and grind the past bit by bit, and it was absolutely impossible to destroy Wu Chu without ten to twenty years. What's more, in the meantime, the princes of the rest of the parties will definitely not sit idly by, and the alien races of the Quartet will not let go of this opportunity.

If Shu is Huanwu's heart disease, then this Pingling is Cai Tong's heart disease. Yang Xian wanted to beat him, but it was effortless. But Cai Tong wants to fight back, and he can't pass the Pingling level alone.

If Cai Tong grinds hard, firstly, he is not as wealthy as Huan Wu, and secondly, time does not allow it. After all, if the Chu army attacked Shu, it would go upstream, that is, the war would go smoothly, and there would be no three or five years without being able to enter the hinterland of Shu.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Wen Qing, the general of the Chu army, looked at the faintly appearing city in the distance, and the defenders of Pingling went to Wuning County to rescue Yang Xian, and the troops in the city were empty.

Wen Qing has 20,000 elite Chu troops in his hands, and after taking Pingling, if the war goes well, he can even recapture his hometown or even Kuimen.

Wen Qing no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Raise the flag!" Enter! ”

With a loud shout, Wen Qing could easily feel the resonance of his chest cavity in his body. He could not hide his excitement and excitement, this was a war that was enough to change the contrast between the national situation of Chu and Shu. If it is victorious, in the upper reaches of this great river, the two countries of Shu and Chu will fall into a balance of power militarily, and no one can help anyone.

Moreover, if Pingling falls, Yang Xian will have no way back. As long as Chu Hou can capture Yang Xian, he will definitely be able to force Yang Chun to make more concessions.

The 20,000 Chu troops raised their flags and beat drums, the army was neat and tidy, and the army was mighty. The reason why there is such a big fanfare is that Wen Qing is trying to see if this Pingling City is really empty?

People in the world often say that most generals in the army are brave and unscrupulous, but if they are brave and unstrategic, how can they command the army and attack thousands of miles together.

This general in the army, after more than 30 years of troubled times, is rough in appearance, but also more cautious than ordinary people, and can even be said to be cunning. The war is dangerous and ever-changing, and if they are not careful, they will end up with an army and a dead end, and they must not be careless.

The 20,000 Chu troops marched forward as a whole, and before the main city of Pingling, Wen Qing could finally be sure that the thousands of defenders here were really gone.

It is impossible for the heirs of the first line in the army to be stupid enough to let the 20,000 Chu army capture all the branch city pavilions and barriers on the periphery little by little, and only when they arrive at the main city will they begin to counterattack.

Defending the city and hindering it is the right way. There is only one possibility for the Shu army to do this, and that is that they are empty of troops and do not have enough strength to defend the periphery, so they can only retreat in the main city.

The facts also proved Wen Qing's conjecture, at this moment, on the wall of the main city of Pingling are your soldiers, who are not fully clothed and unarmed, and seem to be people and others.

"Archer, shoot."

Wen Qing believed that just a few rounds of shooting would break the will of the people in the city and make them surrender.

However, as the locust-like feathered arrows shot towards the city, things exceeded Wen Qing's expectations.

The runes shine at the head of the city, connecting them into a line and forming a net. When the arrow shot into the air, it was like hitting an iron plate, making a crisp crashing sound, but it was difficult to move forward, and it fell down one after another.

Wen Qing's eyes were smooth and shining, and his mouth muttered.

"Splitting mountains and Zhenhai, it's Zhenhai Fu!"

In such a situation, Wen Qing is very familiar with it, this is the method of inheriting the heavens. In his memory, after the surrender of the Dongyang Sect, Yang Xian had organized his followers into an army of 10,000 people.

"Dongzhou soldiers!"

Wen Qing had a feeling of sudden realization at this time. Armies all over the world do not have this style of fighting, but this one is the only exception. The disciples of Chengtian Dao are passed down from the first line of the stars, and the tactics of the first line in the army are very different. They don't care about the situation of the mountains and rivers, and the more people there are, the stronger they are.

Thinking of this, Wen Qing's face changed greatly, they were too close to the main city of Pingling. This distance is too dangerous to use your hands and feet.

"Hurry back!"

Wen Qing was in a hurry to change the formation, but the sky above the city was shining again, forming a net, and coming towards the Chu army. The mountain splitting talisman can be said to be very simple, but when they are woven together, they can exert great power.

There are spirits in heaven and earth, and there are also spirits in people. The Mountain Splitting Rune Array is like a sharp axe, capable of wringing the Lingqi on people's bodies.

Back then, millions of sect members of the Chengtian Dao used this talisman together, and they were even able to cut off the operation of the Lingqi in this mountain and river. The name of the splitting mountain is derived from this.

Wen Qing's reaction can be described as fast, but the retreat of the Chu army is still too slow. The Chu army, which was originally the vanguard, turned into a rear team, did not leave in time, and was hit by this mountain-splitting talisman array. Hundreds of soldiers, either dead or wounded.

Wen Qing turned his head to look at the head of the city, and saw a man standing at the head of the city, looking at the Chu army with his hands in his hands.

"Han does not bear it!"

Wen Qing read the name, his fists clenched, and the light in his eyes sparkled.

Black Tiger Mountain.

The two armies of Shu and Chu were holding each other, and a red light suddenly appeared in the distance. With the sound of horses' hooves, Cai Tong's ears sounded Yang Xian's voice.

"Cai Tong, you asked me about the 30,000 elites in Chudu, only 10,000 followed you, where did the remaining 20,000 go? Ben Xiang wanted to ask rhetorically, Chu Hou thought that Ben Xiang was around, could it be that only these thousands of defenders could not succeed? ”

The blood dragon groaned, and its edge was exposed.

Qin Feng rushed in front of the battle, with a bloody aura on his body, like a god of war possessing his body.

Cai Tong was frightened, his eyes were full of Qin Feng's heroic appearance, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Xiliang Iron Ride!"
