Chapter 134: Breaking the Barrier
As the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent;
In fact, General Zheng's original idea is indeed Ming'an City, he is used to doing small business, and the style of the small family cannot be changed for the time being, fighting a war, for General Zheng, what to do with protecting the family and defending the country, it is not very important, and he has no ethics in that regard, let alone much loyalty to Yan State.
Of course, I have a good impression of Yan Guo, that's for sure, but if you insist on saying anything, it's over and it's really over.
Therefore, General Zheng's purpose in fighting is to plunder, and his military exploits are to expand his territory, goods, food, and population, and to strengthen his own strength so that he can continue to expand his army, and the expansion of troops is to better plunder, and plundering is to better expand his army.
Just ask the child who is herding sheep what your dream is, and he answers: herding sheep, giving birth to babies, herding more sheep, giving birth to more babies.
Ming'an City, the transit place of the wild man's plunder, with the soles of his feet to know how much benefit there will be, put it in the hands of the savages, that is called the people's fat and people's ointment stained with the blood and tears of the people of Jindi, but when it is captured by himself, it is called the spoils of war.
It's just that not long after the army set off, Liang Cheng noticed that something was wrong, and the pursuers in the rear had a chance to come up and bite him, but he didn't bite, but continued to pretend to be groping and tracking.
In addition, Xue San and others, who had been cruising around the main force of the army, passed back the news, saying that the savage soldiers and horses on the east and west sides seemed to be moving.
Liang Cheng directly concluded that Ming'an City could not be beaten.
The original plan had to be changed, and if you rushed forward with a hard head, you would really be hit on the head and bleed.
After all, in this period in this area, Sheng Le Jun is considered the weak side, when you are strong, you can lay out according to your ideas, but when you are weak, you have to jump with the rhythm of the other party.
The other party has a lot of appetite, thinking about swallowing himself in one go, so what else can he do, wash himself and send it up.
Alchemy, along with the other two small vanguard armies, is actually the shadow of the army, and their task is to create the trajectory and illusion of the army's march to induce the savages to complete the strategic encirclement they want.
The main force of the Shengle Army had already jumped out before the encirclement was formed.
Jumped out, you have to do something, looked at the map, looked around, and a place attracted Zheng Fan's attention.
Snow Customs!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the wild army originally stationed in the Snow Customs to be transferred out to encircle themselves,
An extremely empty snow customs hall appeared in front of Zheng Fan and Sheng Lejun like this.
Zheng Fan washed his face with cold water, his body was greasy and a little uncomfortable, and he really wanted to take a hot bath to be comfortable.
When Tian Wujing first opened the Jin Dynasty, it was this way, the elite of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army carefully borrowed the Qianguo to enter the South Gate Pass, and after entering the territory of the Jin State, they directly came out of the ten days to fight thousands of miles in one fell swoop to lay the victory.
Zheng Fan has always believed that in terms of leading troops, his own Liang Cheng will not be worse than Jingnan Hou, and it is true that this kind of transfer of successfully "golden cicada out of the shell" with a large army is not the kind of real use of soldiers, and it is not fun at all.
At least, in Zheng Fan's opinion, if it was himself who led the army this time, it was estimated that he had entered an embattled environment at this time, and then his subordinates shouted to let him go, and he shouted that he wanted to die together, and then his subordinates continued to persuade him to go...... This kind of clichΓ© drama.
But now,
But he can face the snow customs in the distance,
Untie the waistband,
Feel happy to relieve a wave.
When he came back after finishing his work, Liang Cheng was already waiting for him.
The soldiers actually didn't rest well, everyone was very tired, but they were just a little bit away from the goal, and it shouldn't be a problem to turn over and charge again.
Xue San is back, but he has suffered for a while, everyone is tired and thin, and the third leg seems to be a lot shorter.
"Lord, no problem."
No problem means that you don't even have to think about seizing the door, you can directly "Ula".
The Sword Saint walked to Zheng Fan's side at this time, and he wanted to fight the snow customs, and he, the Sword Saint of the Jin Kingdom, would inevitably take the lead.
Because the significance of the snow customs to the land of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Jin people is too great.
Regardless of whether you want to dominate the world later, it is all later, the Marquis of Jin was given the title of Jin by the son of the Great Summer, and what he did was to expel the savages and glorify the summer;
Snow customs, is the Jin people to expel the wild people out of the symbol, this is a door, inside the door, is a paradise, outside the door, is the bitter cold snow field.
To paraphrase a bit of sensationalism, this pass is a monument built by generations of Jin people.
Therefore, the Sword Master took the initiative to ask Ying and wanted to become a member of the trapped camp, which is normal and very suitable for the character of the Sword Master.
"Is that really okay?" Zheng Fan asked, purely because of his weak heart, and wanted to confirm again, after all, it was the snow customs in front of him.
"Lord, there's really no problem, you can even give a pre-war speech at this point." Xue San patted his short chest and said.
The implication is that
leadership
It's not a big deal.
You can first prepare a speech that will make your own money in front of the camera.
Liang Cheng also spoke: "Yes, Lord." β
Since even Liang Cheng was sure that this battle was no problem, then Zheng Fan was relieved.
As for the speech, it is a kind of torture for those who are accustomed to listening to long and nonsense reports in later generations, but in this era, it is still extremely effective.
Most importantly, it can help Zheng Fan brush up his prestige in the army, and at the same time consolidate his presence.
General Zheng has been shaped by the demon king under his hands, and has become a spiritual totem in the hearts of the Shengle army and the people, people have done a good job of ninety-nine for you, so don't be tired of doing that last step.
Zheng Fan turned over and rode his horse to the military formation.
After seeing General Zheng's figure, the faces of the sergeants showed excitement.
It's just that because the military order is to sit down and rest, no one dares to stand up and move.
The Sword Saint looked at Xue San with some curiosity and said:
"What is this going to do?"
"Pre-war lectures, morale boosting."
Juggernaut let out an "oh" and signaled that he understood.
However, the Sword Master still turned his head and looked to the north, this snow customs is there, and if he does a pre-war lecture at this time, will there be any mistakes and accidents? Aren't you afraid of a long night's dream?
But the Sword Master is indeed not the Sword Master of the past, he was involved politically and militarily, and after he collapsed, he calmed down and recognized a reality, that is, except for the sword in his hand, he really has nothing else to be good at.
Zheng Fan opened his mouth and shouted:
"Shengle soldiers, in front of you, that pass, I think, you all know what it's called!"
Half of the barbarians who went out this time were taken out as vanguard troops, and they have not yet been listed, so most of the soldiers and horses here at this time were from Jindi.
"It is the Snow Pass, the Xiongguan that the Jin people used to defend against the savages, the pride of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the nightmare of the savages for hundreds of years!
I, Zheng Fan, am not from Jin, but I have been to the snow field, I have fought with savages, those uncivilized wild miscellaneous people, they don't know shame, they don't know etiquette, they are actually a group of beasts with human appearance! β
Regional discrimination is not right.
But in this era, in the face of such a group of Qiu Ba, Xia Yi must argue strictly, and the spring and autumn are righteous. That's really playing the piano to the cow, and only by sacrificing the most primitive stick of regional discrimination can Qiu Ba, who was born in this group of Jin people, empathize.
"But right now, they have laid down the snow customs, they are sleeping with your Jin women, they are plundering your Jin people's food, they are plundering your Jin people's children!
General Ben is a Yan man, but General Ben is angry when he looks at it!
At the end of the day, 800 years ago, we were all one family!
Yan people are barbarian, Jin people are wild, we are fighting with our own families, that is the matter of brothers closing the door to make trouble with the division of land and property, what does he have to do with the savage, he savage also wants to reach in and get a hand, straight lady thief, is he worthy! β
When the Sword Master heard this, he subconsciously sighed:
"Makes sense."
Xue San smiled "hehe", this is called the anti-opposition united front.
Ah Ming said: "This speech style seems familiar. β
Xue San nodded and said, "The Lord is imitating the speech of the mustache in Chaplin's movie." β
"Oh, I see."
β¦β¦
"Most of you here, most of you are from the Jin people, I want to say, this battle is not that I'm Yan people fighting wild people, it's my Yan people, I'm helping you Jin people fight wild people!
Snow customs, you Jin people lost it!
Savages, you Jin people put them in!
In the first battle of Wangjiang, tens of thousands of my Yan people were killed in battle, and the corpses were on the river!
But our Yanren don't admit defeat, if we lose, it's a big deal to make a comeback and continue to do it again!
What about your Jin people, here, is it your Jin people's home, and the ancestral hall of the temple on this land is dedicated to your ancestors;
After a hundred years, how are you going to tell your ancestors under the Nine Springs that you have not been able to keep your land and let it become a ranch for savages?
Take up your swords and sit on your horses,
Ahead
Snow Customs,
Take it down,
to prove that the Jin people's blood is still alive, the Jin people's martial arts are still there, and the Jin people's men still have Luanzi under their crotch! β
The heat is almost there,
The faces of those Jindi soldiers had begun to twist with anger.
Even the Sword Master, his breathing has also thickened a lot.
General Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his skills in fighting chicken blood have made good progress.
Zheng Fan pulled out his knife,
Chanted:
"Sheng Le Jun!"
"In!"
"In!"
"In!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
charge
Here we go.
For a time, thousands of horses galloped out, murderous.
If the Savage King was here at this time and listened to Zheng Fan's pre-war mobilization, it is estimated that he would soon take Zheng Fan as a confidant, because everyone knows the mystery of "speech" and "chicken blood", and knows how to mobilize the emotions of the soldiers and make them see death as home.
After sympathy,
It is estimated that he will quickly draw a knife and stab the other party to death,
Because each other knows in their hearts,
How terrible is such an opponent?
Since ancient times, there have been countless capable people who are good at using art, but what a real master is good at is playing with people's hearts.
In short, the momentum of Sheng Lejun was completely ignited by Zheng Fan, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, these people dared to rush forward with their eyes open.
Juggernaut also rode a horse, Juggernaut also held a sword,
At this moment,
The Sword Saint suddenly wanted to fight again that night at the downstairs of Fengxin City.
however
This is destined to disappoint the Juggernaut,
Because of the great army,
Rushed straight into the snow customs!
Yes, that's right, rushed directly into the snow customs.
Xue San came back from the investigation before, and said very firmly, there is no problem.
Liang Cheng also played a package ticket, and felt that there was no suspense in winning this city.
And it is, and it is.
The west side of the Snow Customs is a branch that extends all the way to the east from the Tianduan Mountain Range, and on the east side, it is the ocean.
The snow customs that the people of Jindi often say refers to is indeed this Xiongguan, but in fact, what the real military everyone values is relying on the snow customs as the center, plus the east and west sides of the dozens of miles of flint forts.
It is it, for hundreds of years, that has locked the desire of the savages to go south.
And what Sheng Lejun wants to impact at this time is the Snow Customs itself.
Roughly speaking, it presents a layout in the shape of a "hui".
To the north of it, there is an extremely long "one", a bit like the Great Wall, hooked with a system of flint forts.
Of course, the Snow Customs is not just a "one", but sticks to the south of this "one", adding a three-sided, forming the form of a square city.
In order to enhance its defense, when the ancestors of the Jin people built it, in the square layout of the city, there was a separate expansion in the north, which was a bit like "convex".
And for the sake of symmetry, to the south, there is also an outward expansion, which also presents the same posture.
But in the final analysis, the fortification of the Snow Pass refers to its defensive ability to rely on the entire chain of flint defenses in the face of attacks from the northern snowfields.
At the same time, it should also be clear that when the ancestors of the Jin people built this Xiongguan, they had already expelled the wild people from the land of the Three Jin Dynasty to catch up with the snow field, so it only needed to bear the attack from the north, as for the south...... How could there be an attack from the south?
And Zheng Fan's Shengle army, when it launched an offensive, it was facing the south, fighting from south to north, the city wall was there, and the fortifications were there, but they were all perfunctory, and they were not as three-dimensional and solid as the north side of the Snow Pass.
At the same time, the funniest thing is that Xue San feels that this battle is the least challenging.
Savages
I actually broke several holes in the south of the Snow Customs.
In other words, there is no need for a battering ram, no need to build any artillery carts, or even a ladder, just lead the army to forcibly rush through the breach and it's over.
There are two reasons why such an unbelievable scene occurred.
One, because of hate, the savages really hate this level, for hundreds of years, they have been locked by this level so that they can't look south.
This is the same as Zhao Lao Er in the history that Zheng Fan is familiar with, and finally scrapped the old nose and finally laid down Taiyuan, because he suffered too much under Taiyuan City, so he simply destroyed this Xiongcheng.
The same is true for the savages, who are angry when they look at this snow customs, and if they don't destroy it, they feel uneasy.
The second reason is that it is too troublesome to enter and exit through one opening, so it is better to open a few more doors, because there are too many slaves, goods, and food to be transported to the snowfield.
It is these two strange reasons that have caused this embarrassing situation in the snow customs today.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Savage King heard the news later, knew that these follow-up tribes dared to do this, and hurriedly sent an envoy to reprimand and stop it, maybe the Snow Customs had been broken up by the Savages.
But even so, these holes were enough for Sheng Lejun to rush directly into them.
At this time, there were less than 2,000 savage warriors in the pass, and they were still scattered everywhere, because there happened to be a large tribe transporting a large number of slaves out of the customs into the snow field, and enough savage warriors were needed to help maintain order and prevent slaves from escaping.
Therefore, there are hundreds of savage warriors who are guarding the city wall.
No matter how wise the king is, there is no guarantee that there will be a group of pig teammates underneath.
This city is even easier to capture than the Mianzhou City that General Zheng fought when he debuted, and at that time, General Zheng only had 300 barbarian soldiers under his command, but at this time, it was nearly 10,000 elite horsemen!
The savages didn't have time to stop at all, so Sheng Lejun rushed into the city, and began to kill when they saw the savages, but there were too many monks and few porridges, and this group of soldiers who had just been made bloody by General Zheng's speech rushed in only to find that there were not enough savages to let them vent their anger in their hearts.
It's the Sword Saint, relying on his sword to fly out, so he finally grabbed three heads, to tell the truth, it's really far worse than the taste of that night in Fengxincheng.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!!h
If it weren't for Liang Cheng leading a group of soldiers and horses to forcibly warn and stop, this group of red-eyed soldiers would even have to cut down the slaves who were captured by the savages to see them there, you must know that these slaves are all Jin people.
This is the disadvantage of the soldier's blood, but fortunately, it was controlled in time and did not brew the tragedy of cannibalism.
General Zheng was an idler, and he took Ah Ming to the city wall early.
Ah Ming held the wine in his hand and drank it one by one.
Zheng Fan held sunflower seeds in his hand and swallowed them one by one.
These two people are good at how to pretend to be light and calm in a tense and exciting environment.
"Ah Ming, there are two paths in front of me now."
"Lord, you say."
"One, it's to run after the fight."
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to his feet,
"Because if we don't run, at least tens of thousands of savages will rush over immediately, and as long as they block this place, we won't be able to run away if we want to.
β
Because to the north of the Snow Pass, there is the Snow Field, which is the lair of the savages.
"And the other one, just don't run?"
"Yes, don't run, hold here."
Zheng Fan turned his head to look behind him, where there were many crying slaves who had just been rescued, and there were many armor soldiers who were still searching for the wild men who were hiding to kill.
"As long as we can hold this place, then none of the savage armies who have entered the south this time will be able to escape back to the snowfield."
"Lord, we don't have a choice." Ah Ming said.
"Why?"
"Because although the Marquis of Jingnan has never given us a specific task, he only treats us as a surprise soldier, but in the future, if he knows that we have laid down the snow customs, and then he will walk after the fight;
Jingnanhou will kill you. β
