Volume 2 Chapter 44 The soldiers are divided into two ways

Endless wilderness, as far as the eye can see.

The rolling foothills and criss-crossing hills together outline the complex landform of Shudi.

In the clear weather, the clouds and fog in Shu are beautiful, like a fairyland, but in the gloomy rain and snow weather, it is a different picture, as if falling into the devil's realm is as eerie and terrifying.

With such a peculiar landscape, air strikes are almost impossible, and they can only rely on the ground forces to suppress the territory.

Qin Jun's sword pointed at Shu Mountain!

Everyone knows that Shushan is a strategic place and a natural barrier for Shu to resist the strong Qin.

Conquered Shu Mountain, Shu will perish!

"Prior to this, the Qin army had attacked Shushan six times, all of which failed, and each time suffered heavy casualties. During the march, Xu Dawen often came to Shen Lian for a few drinks, and his friendship was fully revealed, and he found that Shen Lian was very interested in how to arrange the troops, so he chatted.

"Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu State, guarded Shu Mountain six times, did not lose an inch of land, and was known as Mr. Wolong by the world, and his wisdom was peerless, which was a big trouble for my Daqin. Xu Dawen shook his head and sighed, his expression was full of hatred and admiration for the enemy.

"Six guards of Shu Mountain, not an inch of land is lost?" Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, Zhuge Liang on the earth did his best to weaken Shu, and the six Qi Mountains were not built, miserable, and Zhuge Liang in the reckless world seemed to live a lot of nourishment.

Open the map of Shushan.

Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he found that there were red dotted paths on the map, twisting and turning, some were jungle paths, some were deep mountains and canyons, but they all led to the same direction, Shu Mountain.

"Shu is mountainous, the terrain is dangerous, Daqin cut down Shu six times, overcame thorns and thorns, the road to Shu Mountain, a total of 19 before and after. Xu Dawen pointed to one of them, and his expression was a little solemn, "My father participated in the development of this line, and it took tens of thousands of 'fools' to move mountains and open the road, which took three years." Unfortunately, after the defeat, the Shu people immediately destroyed this line. ”

"Then what is the route we took this time?" asked Shen Lian.

Xu Dawen drew a straight line on the map with his finger and said: "Go straight, move mountains when you meet mountains, and build bridges when you meet water." ”

"Is this okay?" Shen Lian was slightly surprised, this kind of march was too simple and rude.

"There's no way, after the failure of the last time to destroy Shu, Zhuge Liang advanced again and awakened a new exclusive arcane 'Bagua Array'. Stargazing and arraying, Zhuge Liang not only has these two terrifying arcane arts, but also can control them to the point of perfection, and the large and small mountains within a radius of thousands of miles from Shu Mountain have become his chessboard neutrons, and our army has been unable to open up the road, so it can only break through the formation. I estimate that just when we arrive in Shushan, we will have to go through countless battles, which may last for a year. Xu Dawen said with a wry smile.

"It took a year to get to Shushan? No wonder Great Qin was defeated six times in Shu. Shen Lian groaned slightly, suddenly pointed at the Wu State, and said with an idea: "If we attack the Wu State first and bypass the Wu State, can't we directly capture the Shu State?"

Shu and Wu are bordered, but there are no mountains and mountains.

Xu Dawen's eyes lit up, and he said: "The supervisor is very resourceful, and he coincides with General Bai Qi's ideas, but if you want to attack Wu State, you must take Chibi, and Wu State will naturally not let us succeed easily, and the difficulty may be even worse." ”

White up... Mars... Human slaughter... Murder demon, Shen Lian thought a lot, only to hear Xu Dawen continue: "Actually, this time the emperor set a strategy that the soldiers were divided into two routes, one route was led by General Bai Qi to attack Chibi, and the other route was led by General Wang Jian to attack Shushan with three million soldiers, that is, to attack Shu and Wu at the same time. ”

"Wei is far away, with Shu and Wu in front of it, and it can't be fought for the time being, but as long as Daqin captures one of Shu or Wu, it will break the horns of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the destruction of the Three Kingdoms is no longer empty talk. ”

"Wei is naturally extremely nervous, and it is inevitable that many masters will be sent to reinforce Shu and Wu, and the Tang Dynasty is still waiting, and it is still unknown whether it will intervene in the war, but with the empress's scheming, she is naturally not willing to be lonely. ”

"I heard a certain staff brother say that in this battle, the emperor will drive the expedition in person, this is since the emperor destroyed the Chu State, after the Wujiang forced Xiang Yu to kill himself, after many years to sweep the world again, the victory must belong to Daqin! I just don't know, the emperor will take that route, attack Shu or Wu?"

When Xu Dawen said this, his expression was excited, and a great look of awe appeared on his face, and he bowed his hand in the direction of Xianyang.

Shen Lian probably figured out what the overall situation was about.

The situation is somewhat similar to the Normandy landings during World War II.

At that time, the Germans had predicted that the Allies would land and counterattack, but they misjudged the landing site, resulting in a shortage of troops in the Normandy defense area, giving the Allies an opportunity to take advantage of.

The Qin soldiers attacked Shu and Wu with two fists, with three million troops each, which caused great pressure on both Shu and Wu, and they were unable to rush to each other's aid.

Wei was reduced to a logistics rear, and it was estimated that it was not clear who Qin Shi Huang would attack, so he naturally had to disperse his forces to reinforce Shu and Wu.

In this case, the main force Qin Shi Huang attacked which point became the key, once the Triple Alliance miscalculated, it would lose a mess, on the contrary, the prediction was correct, the Qin State would fall into passivity, and may have to return in vain.

On the way back to Shu, Wang Jian had six legions, each with 500,000 soldiers, and entered Shu in six batches, and Wang Ben's lion legion was the last one.

Therefore, they did not have to open the road, and they would not be harassed by the Shu soldiers, and the road had already been swept by the vanguard legion, and it was the smoothest.

Everywhere along the way, you can see ruined mountains, burned hills, felled forests, dried bloodstains, etc., all kinds of traces of battle, and the corpses of soldiers transported back by vehicles.

It is the tradition of the Qin army not to leave the corpses of the soldiers, not to bury the corpses of the soldiers, to transport them back to their homeland, and to return the fallen leaves to their roots.

Shen Lian noticed a detail, the Qin army not only recovered the corpses of the Qin soldiers, but even the corpses of the Shu army were transported back, and they also specially used the freezing effect to keep them fresh, but for some reason.

He inquired about Xu Dawen, and Xu Dawen didn't know the inside story.

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Ten months later, the lion army finally reached the outskirts of Shushan.

Mount Shu is not a mountain, but is composed of dozens of peaks of different heights, dotted around, like a game of chess.

The three million Qin troops had lost nearly 400,000 casualties in the battle with the Shu soldiers after a long journey, and all the rest were successfully assembled in front of Shu Mountain and set up camp.

The real war has not yet begun.

After Wang Jian gathered a large army, he did not immediately attack Shushan, but repaired it.

Shen Lian walked back to the barracks with a giant bear on his shoulder, and threw the giant bear to the fire stove camp, where he was going to eat steamed bear paws today.

"Barbarian 90th Order!"

During this march, Shen Lian was not idle, he often went out to hunt beasts, polished the Barbarian King's combat ability, and raised his rank by 3 ranks, plus the blessing of the baron's aura, he accumulated 91-order divine power in his body.

At night, they turn into thieves and steal in the barracks, which is considered self-theft.

Not to steal any treasures, but to entertain yourself, steal a soldier's letter today, and return it every few days.

I heard that a certain officer likes to wear a helmet with feathers, and that feather is a multicolored peacock feather selected by thousands of people, which is very beautiful and has a very high collection value, Shen Lian observed it for three months, and found out the living habits of the officer and the guards before he started, and finally stole it without danger.

After coming and going, except for the camp tents of Wang Ben and several main generals, Shen Lian almost walked through the 500,000-scale army, and the thief rank rose to the 20th rank.

"The actor Gu can be converted into three god ranks at will, and I still have a vacant rank. ”

Shen Lian was also thinking about what to choose for the third god rank, the barbarian king was almost invincible in close combat, with guns in hand, long-range attacks were no worse than those shooters, plus the aura of the official, combat effectiveness was not a problem, and thieves could help him accumulate wealth, what else was missing?
