Chapter 911: Meng Yuan's Siege [1 Update]
"Haha, Zhu Yuanzhang, you are very good, follow General Ben well in the future, General Ben will not treat you badly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The big hand patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but lower his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was worried when facing Fang Xiaoyu, and his heart was hanging, because in front of Fang Xiaoyu, Zhu Yuanzhang had a feeling of being completely seen through, which made him dare not have the slightest carelessness, for fear that he would be slapped to death by Fang Xiaoyu if he made a mistake for a while.
On the rugged mountain road, Fang Xiaoyu and the others soon appeared in the town below the mountain.
Originally, Fang Xiaoyu was going to go down the mountain to find out the news, and then decide where to go, but now that Zhu Yuanzhang has been subdued, it is omitted to find out the news, Fang Xiaoyu used a small trick to get horses, and the two of them quickly whipped up their horses and went straight to the direction of Youzhou.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang, now that his team is under the control of Kaiyangzi, nearly 10,000 horses can fall into the hands of Kaiyangzi, and it is obviously impossible to say that there is no support from the power of the Daomen behind this.
Emperor Yang of Sui is not a faint monarch, with Kaiyangzi's ability, being a deputy general is so-so, let alone guarding such an important pass as Shanhaiguan.
However, Emperor Yang of Sui sent this team under Fang Xiaoyu to Shanhaiguan, which may be due to the competition between Buddhism and Taoism, but since Emperor Yang of Sui agreed and thought deeply, this result may not be the acquiescence of Emperor Yang of Sui.
The situation in the world has changed greatly, especially the sudden rise of the Mengyuan forces on the grassland, although it is said that the strength of the Turks has been greatly reduced, but from the other side, it has also proved that the threat of the Mengyuan forces to the Central Plains is definitely no less than that of the Turks.
A single Turk is like a knife hanging over the head of the Central Plains, and now there is another Mengyuan force, and Shanhaiguan, as the defense line against the grassland peoples, is naturally the top priority.
If nothing else, such a pass must be guarded by a general of the Great Sui Pillar Stone, and now it is handed over to a team with no name, and even the main general is in a state of disappearance. However, the imperial court really passed it, and if you think about it carefully, you can see that this is the means by which Emperor Yang of Sui pulled the Daomen into the water.
Yang Guang's methods were very simple and rude, and he almost didn't tell Daomen directly, I handed over Shanhaiguan to Fang Xiaoyu's subordinates to garrison, and your Daomen must guard Shanhaiguan for me and keep the grassland aliens out of Shanhaiguan.
Having made up his mind to destroy Goguryeo first, and then integrate his forces to turn back to deal with the Turks and Mengyuan on the grassland, Yang Guang did not dare to be careless despite all kinds of arrangements, so he tried every means to pull the Daomen into the water.
Facts have proved that although Yang Guang's move did not lead to the entire Daomen being able to pull him into the water and act as a shield for him, Qi Hui, the great master of the Daomen, was personally sitting in Shanhaiguan.
The deterrent power of a great grandmaster should not be underestimated, and with Qi Hui's influence, some of the radical people of the Dao Sect gathered at Shanhaiguan.
The rise of the Mongol Yuan forces on the steppe successfully suppressed the Turks, as if they wanted to show their power to the Central Plains.
Half a year ago, tens of thousands of Mengyuan cavalry came straight to Shanhaiguan like a rolling torrent.
The city of Shanhaiguan is more than ten zhang high, completely made of bluestone, and the dangerous terrain of Shanhaiguan is located, it can be said that it is a husband and a man.
Under the guard of more than 10,000 people, as long as the generals guarding the pass are not too idiots, even the most elite people and horses will be difficult to break through such a strong pass as Shanhaiguan.
However, this time he led the army to come, and his status was second only to Temujin's imperial prince Si Hanfei.
Si Hanfei is known as the strongest man in the royal family, and his cultivation is almost comparable to that of the great grandmaster, but the most important thing is Si Hanfei's talent in military affairs.
However, Temujin won more in the overall situation, and if the two armies simply fought, even Temujin considered himself not to be Si Hanfei's opponent.
Several famous Turkic generals were defeated again and again in the hands of Si Hanfei, not only ruining the fortune of the Turks, but more importantly, achieving the title of Si Hanfei's military god.
Now Si Han Fei personally led an elite army of 30,000 soldiers to the city, and the entire Shanhaiguan was naturally ready for battle.
As the most famous military god today, the arrival of Si Hanfei has made the atmosphere in Shanhaiguan much more solemn.
Qi Hui personally appeared on the city wall, and only then did he suppress the position, so that the morale of the defenders did not fall.
Originally, according to Si Hanfei's plan, he directly invited the battle, and it was best to be able to kill several generals of the Great Sui in a row, and then he led the strong men of Meng Yuan to forcibly break through the city gate, and the army entered the Shanhaiguan in one go.
If there is no strong person in Shanhaiguan, with Si Hanfei's cultivation that is almost comparable to that of the great grandmaster, plus several strong masters of Mengyuan Grandmaster, once he forcibly attacks the city gate of Shanhaiguan, there is a chance that the city gate can be opened.
It's a pity that Si Hanfei was unlucky and met such a great master of the Dao Sect as Qi Hui.
As a result, Si Hanfei was stopped by Qi Hui, including several strong grandmasters of Mengyuan, who were also stopped by Daomen grandmasters, and after a fierce battle, Si Hanfei was one move short, and when he saw that there was no hope of seizing the door, he retreated decisively.
Si Hanfei did not have an impulsive siege, and attacking the city with cavalry was definitely the best choice, and after weighing the cost of forcibly attacking the city, Si Hanfei did not hesitate to lead the army away.
However, Si Han flew here and did not stop, but attacked everywhere, only making noise on the front line of the border pass, and there were fires everywhere.
Fortunately, Shanhaiguan is as stable as Mount Tai, and if Shanhaiguan is not taken, even Si Hanfei can easily break through other checkpoints and dare not drive straight in.
As the saying goes, it is easy to come in and difficult to get out, Shanhaiguan is like a wedge, once Si Hanfei leads the army into the customs, Shanhaiguan military horses attack, and it is absolutely easy to block its retreat.
Even if the tens of thousands of troops are all elites, once they fall into the pass, even if Si Hanfei has the means to reach the sky, there is only one way to destroy.
Don't underestimate the military strength of the Great Sui, the strength of the national strength accumulated by the Great Sui for many years is absolutely amazing to the world, otherwise how could Yang Guang have so much courage to gather a million troops three times and twice to attack Goguryeo.
Si Hanfei is aware of this, so the checkpoints around Shanhaiguan are just harassed, unless Si Hanfei can take Shanhaiguan, otherwise he will definitely not enter the customs.
However, if you really want to enter the customs, you may not have to enter from Shanhaiguan, thousands of miles of border passes are more checkpoints that can enter the customs, but the most convenient, you can come and go freely only Shanhaiguan this place, otherwise you will have to detour hundreds of miles.
It seems that a detour of hundreds of miles is nothing, but for a military horse, a distance of hundreds of miles is sometimes the distance between life and death.
More importantly, the situation at the border is different now, before the rise of Mengyuan, the Great Sui needed to guard against only the Turkic side, which can be described as a confrontation between the two powers, but now the rise of Mengyuan can be described as a three-legged trend.
A large-scale move by either party will attract the attention of third parties.
For various reasons, Si Hanfei attacked everywhere with Shanhaiguan as the center, and made it clear that the target was the Shanhaiguan checkpoint, as if he had identified Shanhaiguan.
Fang Xiaoyu and Zhu Yuanzhang rushed all the way to Shanhaiguan, and along the way, the two had figured out the form that Shanhaiguan was facing now.
Originally, he learned that Shanhaiguan had Qihui leading a part of the Daomen forces to sit in charge, so he felt that he could not worry about anything.
However, Meng Yuan's side turned out to be Si Hanfei, a strong man like a military god, who personally led the army, which made Fang Xiaoyu attach great importance to it, otherwise he would not have come quickly.
In the original work, Si Hanfei is the white jade pillar of the Yuan court, if it were not for the general trend of the world, coupled with the existence of his unlucky simultaneous interpreter Eagle and Ling Donglai, the two broken levels, I am afraid that the rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty may not have the possibility of being suppressed by Si Hanfei.
It was precisely because he knew the horror of Si Hanfei that Fang Xiaoyu hurried all the way, and finally spent more than half a month seeing Shanhaiguan from afar.
The title of the world's first Xiongguan can be said to be worthy of the name, looking from afar, it seems like a prehistoric fierce beast entrenched in the rolling mountains, the thick city wall is embedded in the mountains and mountains, the flag is waved on the city wall, and you can feel a fierce killing atmosphere from afar.
It has the foundation left by Fang Xiaoyu, coupled with the battles against Si Hanfei for most of the year, the military horses guarding Shanhaiguan have been reborn from the ashes, and they have been tempered into a real strong army.
Under the city wall, on the inner side, the city gate is open, but there are not many people entering and exiting Shanhaiguan at the city gate, after all, everyone knows that Shanhaiguan is currently in the middle of a war, so if there is nothing important, not many people will enter Shanhaiguan at this time.
The inspection at the gate of the city is extremely strict, after all, although there are Qihui and other Daomen powerhouses in the city, there are people who cooperate with Si Hanfei, but there should still be guarded.
As long as you enter the Shanhaiguan, you must go through inspection, at least you can't bring weapons or the like into the city.
When Fang Xiaoyu and Zhu Yuanzhang appeared at the city gate on a tall horse, they naturally attracted the attention of the city gate officials.
"Please dismount and be examined."
Whether it is Fang Xiaoyu or Zhu Yuanzhang, they are not ordinary people, and the city gate official is not a fool, he knows what kind of posture to show in front of whom, so he is very polite to the two.
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the city gate official and said, "Go to Tongbing Kaiyangzi and Qihui Dao Chief, and say that the crazy Daoist Fang Xiaoyu is back." ”
Crazy people or something, there are not many concepts of characters in the army, unless they are really famous people in the world, otherwise there are a few people in the army who can know the names of the characters on the rivers and lakes.
But Fang Xiaoyu is the real commander of this army, although it has been said that in the past few years, Fang Xiaoyu has left a very deep imprint, so for the title of Fang Xiaoyu, the commander, the Shanhaiguan garrison is naturally very clear.
The city gate official is also a middle-level officer in the army, after hearing Fang Xiaoyu's name, he was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then reflexively saluted Fang Xiaoyu respectfully: "I have seen the general in my humble position." ”
There were several sergeants and soldiers behind him, including veterans of Fang Xiaoyu's period, and there were also recruits recruited later, but these soldiers all looked at Fang Xiaoyu in surprise.
The city gate official had seen Fang Xiaoyu, but with the military order, even if Fang Xiaoyu was in person, he didn't dare to mess around, so he only heard the city gate official say to his deputy: "Wu Shichang, I will take the general to see Daoist Qihui and General Kaiyangzi, and you will be responsible for it for the time being." ”
