Chapter 46: The Walled City
"Yang Jian, I didn't expect the Jade Emperor to send him down, even if he can only be responsible for assisting, I am very much looking forward to who will command the army of the Hun Ya and Rakshasa Alliance." Taiyuan Mansion, in Zhuo Ao's temporary palace, looking at Zhao Yun's letter, Zhuo Ao couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Your Majesty, why doesn't the Jade Emperor like Yang Jian?" Shichiro couldn't help but ask curiously, no matter how you look at it, a figure who can be called the god of war in the heavenly court, no monarch will not dislike it, is it the tradition of the heavenly court?
"Because Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor." Zhuo Ao put down the letter and smiled.
"Huh~?" Qilang felt that his thinking was a little confused, since he was a nephew and had the ability, why didn't the Jade Emperor use it well?
"The nephew is not fake, but it is also a shame for the Heavenly Court Royal, Yang Jian's status today is due to his own hard work under the suppression of the Jade Emperor, and it has nothing to do with his bloodline." Zhuo Ao looked at the fire of gossip burning in Qilang's eyes, and knocked his head with a letter: "You don't have to worry about other people's family affairs." ”
"Oh." Shichiro nodded, but the fire of gossip in his eyes showed no sign of abating, but became more and more intense.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Xichang that the combined forces of Hun Ya and Rakshasa have passed through Danhan Mountain, and they will arrive at Yanmen Pass tomorrow at the latest." Outside the door, a eunuch walked in and said softly.
"I know, I ordered the generals of all departments to assemble at Yanmen Pass." Zhuo Ao nodded, turned his head to look at Qilang and said: "Since you are here, let's go to Yanmen Pass with me to have a look, Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian and Tiangang Star Huang Tianxiang are not many fierce generals in the Heavenly Court, and there are not many people who can command them." See what other characters there are. ”
"Yes." Hearing that there was a fight, Shichiro temporarily put Yang Jian's gossip behind him. Excitedly agreed.
Yanmen Pass is a historical checkpoint, after the establishment of the country. Not only built Xiao Pass, Jiayu Pass and other Xiongguan, the Great Wall has also been repaired and rebuilt, of which Yanmen Pass is the most important link, now Hu people want to enter the Central Plains, in addition to bypassing Liaoshui, they can only pass through Yanmen Pass.
Wen Zhong has been studying how to attack the Shenwu Empire since the Seal Awakening, and it took him four years to finally come to a conclusion. If the coalition army wants to attack the Shenwu Empire, they can only take the Yanmen Pass, the Yanmen Gate is not broken, and it is impossible to invade the Shenwu Empire by external forces, so he came with a million troops.
Looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, Wen Zhong had to sigh at the ingenuity of the designer's mind, this is by no means a level that can be designed by one person. It will make every enemy who tries to break it despair.
But Wen Zhong did not despair, he did not believe that there was an impenetrable city in this world, and he had absolute confidence in himself, just like when he knew that Chengtang Sheji was doomed. But he still went against the sky, and although he was defeated in the end, no opponent dared to underestimate him. Even when he goes to Heaven, he expounds the people of the two religions. He was even more polite to him than to the Jade Emperor.
Now, he's down again. didn't use someone else's name, he was still called Wen Zhong, and he wanted to make his prestige once again shock the world.
Zhuo Ao did not take advantage of the benefits of the checkpoint to defend the danger, no matter how big the Xiong Pass, it is impossible to accommodate 300,000 male soldiers, Yanmen Pass has enough soldiers and horses, this time Zhuo Ao has brought 300,000 male soldiers, naturally it is impossible to put them in the Yanmen Pass, even if you can put it, it is also a waste, the vast majority of the troops can not be sent to any use, just stay in Yanmen Pass to consume food and grass.
Zhuo Ao ordered Dalang to continue to garrison Yanmen Pass, and led 300,000 troops to the mountain outside Yanmen Pass, and Yanmen Pass to protect the horns, although Wen Zhong has a million troops, but Zhuo Ao chose the location of the village is very ingenious, not only by the mountains and rivers, but also the water source is flowing out from the mountain, to prevent the possibility of poisoning the other party, but also to make the opponent's million army can not be spread, the advantage of troops is difficult to play, but also to guard against the attack from the Yanmen Pass, the same to attack the Yanmen Pass, but also to guard against Zhuo Ao's sneak attack.
Although the number of people is small, but the effective use of the terrain, this battle, he began to prepare twenty years ago, the location of the site, naturally there have been arrangements in advance, not only the camp is like a small city, and the grain and grass and water stored in the village are enough for three years of the army of 300,000, and they are one step ahead to make themselves invincible.
The land of the grassland, even after all these years of wind and rain, there will never be too much grain storage, although the army of millions is vast, but every day people eat horses and chew, the entire grassland plus the drop can definitely not support this army of millions for three years, if the opponent really dares to fight a war of attrition with him, Zhuo Ao will definitely clap his hands and welcome, with this million people, drag the entire grassland into a catastrophe, and then calmly clean up, let the entire grassland become his pasture.
Wen Zhong naturally knows this truth as well, even better than Zhuo Ao, the situation in the grassland is definitely worse than Zhuo Ao expected, if the million army, if it can't break through the Yanmen Pass within a year and enter the interior of Shenzhou, it will automatically collapse, and the grassland at that time will be truly uninhabited.
Although he is the same as Yang Jian in his bones, he doesn't care about the life or death of these people, what he needs is victory, so after discovering Zhuo Ao's arrangement, he immediately made a plan to divide the troops.
100,000 soldiers and horses went to contain Yanmen Pass, and he led the rest of the army towards Zhuo Ao's Dazhai, because he knew that in order to break the Yanmen Pass, he must first pull out the nail that Zhuo Ao nailed here, and break Zhuo Ao's horn momentum before he could attack Yanmen Pass with all his strength.
It is naturally impossible for 100,000 Hun Ya knights to ride horses to attack the city, but it is not difficult to contain the Yanmen soldiers and horses so that they cannot go out of the city, because there are not many soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass itself, if the people and horses of Yanmen Pass really go out of the city, they will definitely be eaten by the Hun Ya knights who come and go like the wind There are not even bones left, so Wen Zhong will be very happy, he doesn't mind changing his strategy, besiege Zhuo Ao here first, go to attack Yanmen Pass first, and turn Zhuo Ao's people and horses into a lone army, and slowly consume them.
Zhuo Ao naturally will not let Wen Zhong have the opportunity to change his strategy, the reason why Da Lang is used to guard Yanmen Pass instead of Qilang, who has more combat experience, is that Da Lang has a calm personality and has a sense of the overall situation that Qi Lang does not have, so before the war is decided, no matter how Wen Zhong tempts, Da Lang will not come out, and Wen Zhong can only come to attack Zhuo Ao's camp.
But this big camp, although it is not a real city, is no less difficult than any strong city in the world to attack a strong camp with 300,000 people garrisoned, or even higher.
Although the wall of the camp is only two zhang, but it is made of earth and stone, the gate is by no means an ordinary sense of the gate, at least want to break it, at least to throw thousands of lives in front of this gate, but even if it is breached, inside the gate, there is an inner gate and urn city, such a camp, even if the opponent's strength occupies a threefold advantage, but this advantage can not be displayed, if you want to conquer, you can only use human lives to add.
When Wen Zhong saw this camp that could almost be counted as a city, his brows furrowed deeply, and the difficulty of the other party had obviously greatly surprised him.
"Wen Zhong?" On the wall of the camp, Zhuo Ao set up a pergola with his hand, looking at the eye-catching banner, he was a little surprised, but he was not surprised, in the heavenly court, there are not many people who can make characters like Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian and Tiangang Star Huang Tianxiang willing to bow down, and Wen Zhong is just one of them.
On the other side, Wen Zhong has already sent a team of men and horses to fight against him, which is also the practice of the cold weapon era, before the start of the war, there are a few temptations, if the other party is cowardly, the morale will naturally plummet, so it will generally face the battle.
"Your Majesty, I'll fight him." Looking at the other party's men and horses lined up outside the camp, Shichiro asked for battle.
"It's fine." Zhuo Ao nodded, he didn't know who Li Wei was, but at least his cultivation was not as high as Qilang, and the people who came down from Heavenly Court couldn't use his cultivation to distinguish between strength and weakness, but among the fierce generals that Heavenly Court could count, one Yang Jian was under Xiaoguan in the Western Regions at the moment, and the other Huang Tianxiang was in Liaodong, Wen Zhong's own strength was also not weak, but as the commander of the three armies, he naturally couldn't go out easily, and the rest, with Qilang's current level, in Heavenly Court, there were not many who could defeat him with his reincarnation.
Wen Zhong led a force to sweep the battle for the other party, and Zhuo Ao naturally couldn't weaken his momentum at the beginning, and he also came out with a team of men and horses to sweep the battle for Qilang.
Outside the Yanmen Pass, the flags covered the sky, tens of thousands of horses confronted each other in front of the camp, and the momentum of Xiao Killing was permeated, and it seemed that even the air had become thinner.
Wen Zhong just glanced at the opponent's formation, and gave up the plan to take the opportunity to raid, although they were all infantry, but the opponent's formation was on the defensive, and the rows of crossbowmen who were waiting for each other were arranged in turn, in such a place, his own cavalry rushed up, but it was just a live target for the opponent's crossbowmen.
The person named Levi came out to call the formation, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, but he was just the momentum and arrogance that was revealed in his anticipation, and he was by no means an easy person to deal with.
Qilang slapped the horse out, the silver gun in his hand was like electricity, the gun was fast, and suddenly, it had crossed the distance of dozens of zhang, and a shot ran towards the throat of the other party.
That Li Wei snorted, and sealed Shichiro's silver spear with a wolf tooth lance in his palm, and turned around with the momentum, stabbing Shichiro back, but was broken by Shichiro's shot.
As soon as the two of them made a move, the coaches of both sides stared at the same time, Qilang's martial arts are definitely the top among the Yang brothers, and Kui Timber Wolf Li Wei was a character who could fight with Sun Wukong back then, even if his cultivation is not enough now, but it does not have much impact on martial arts.
In terms of martial arts, Li Wei has the advantage, and in terms of cultivation, Qilang is higher, but the difference is not too big, the two of them have been fighting for two hours in front of the two armies, but they are still indistinguishable.
Wen Zhong was beside him, but Wu Quxing couldn't sit still, the last time he died before he left the division, this time he went down again, seeing that the Kui Wood Wolf, who was stronger than himself, couldn't take the other party, he was secretly shocked in his heart, seeing that Wen Zhong didn't say anything, but he couldn't bear it in his heart, and rushed out at the moment, so he wanted to take the enemy one step ahead and take down this little general first.
