Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Struggle for Dominance in Hanzhong
readx;
The fall of the Lujiang River is like a slap on the heads of the Lin family, its fall is not only its own loss, and the most important thing is that there are two divisions and Hanzhong Mansion has become an island, if you want to save the army on this island, the only way is to recapture the Lujiang River, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this is tantamount to a fool's dream, the Sanjiang army that has suffered a heavy blow has no more strength than the strength to launch a large-scale war, Northern Romania, In September 697, the people of Sanjiang felt the chill from the West in their hearts.

Although the Lujiang offensive and defensive battle was particularly fierce, no one realized that it was just the beginning of a protracted and troubled era, starting from September 697, the entire Eastern Continent has been in a state of chaos and disorder, this situation of various forces competing for the Central Plains has lasted for nearly four years, the state of intermittent truce has never exceeded three months, the wounds brought by the war to the Eastern Continent, especially the Tang River Empire, can not be eliminated even after ten years, and people who have passed through this period of time will always remember the long four years of warγ
In fact, the battle for Hanzhong began before the battle of Lujiang, since Yongchuan Town quickly took shape under the full efforts of the Tiannan Lang family, becoming a bridgehead that threatened the city of Hanzhong, and a steady stream of troops entered the south of Hanzhong in the southwest, so that the Sanjiang army guards of Hanzhong felt great pressure, which also indirectly led to the error in the judgment of the generals of the Lin family, they agreed that the Lang family was likely to concentrate on the whole team of Hanzhong, but they underestimated Lang Yongquan's courage and ambition, which led to the loss of Lujiang.
As early as late August, the army of the Tiannan Lang family broke through the area of the six towns under their control and continued to attack the eight towns area controlled by the Lin family, their goal was accurate and simple, that is, the Lin family's garrison troops and officials stationed in each town, and the Lin family was not willing to be passive defense, and also used the regular army to launch a counterattack on the Lang family in the east and north, and the small-scale conflicts continued, eventually leading to medium-sized conflicts of more than 10,000 people, but these conflicts did not affect the general trend in the basin.
It was not until September that the Tiannan army launched a powerful offensive in Lujiang, and the Tiannan army in Hanzhong also began to assemble on a large scale, and the army from Bashan continued to enter Yongchuan, and the military strength increased sharply, and soon reached twice the size of the Lin family's army in Hanzhong, and the Lin army in Hanzhong felt that the deterioration of the situation had greatly surprised them, and quickly gathered the army and prepared to hold the battle based on the Hanzhong Fucheng. And the Lang family's army also used its military superiority to continuously encroach on the area originally controlled by the Lin family, trying to force the Lin family's army to go out of the city for a decisive battle, but it did not have obvious results.
With the help of the height of the mound, Sha Lang and his deputy quietly looked at the Hanzhong Mansion City in the distance. The city defense facilities of Hanzhong Fucheng did not improve much after the occupation of the Taiping sect, but after the Lin family took over, the Lin family took great pains to put a lot of effort into the city defense system, which was not perfect, and eight giant catapults were placed on both sides of the city tower above the four city gates, with a range of up to 500 meters; The excavation and dredging of the moat and the connection with the Han River by two roads also further strengthened the defense of Hanzhong Fortress, although the moat was not wide, but the Han River provided sufficient water for the moat, so that it would not be cut off or even dried up.
"Well, it seems that the Lin family still has invested some money in Hanzhong, and the Lang family can't wait to take the lead. We asked for the surname to generously let them practice to see if the so-called Burmese Tiger could gnaw a piece on the hard bone of the Lin family. Sha Lang said with a sneering smile as he touched his chin with his hand.
"Division commander, isn't our mission only to cancel?" the deputy asked with some reluctance.
"Undecided, everything is undecided. Even Boss Liang still hasn't figured out what the Lord is thinking in the heart of the Jiedu Envoy, how do I know? I originally thought that the Lord should be going to enter Hanzhong, and even Yueshan and they all came over, but before we could react, the Lang family had already started to move, and now it caught us off guard, and it is estimated that the Lord is also making trouble for this, right?" Sha Lang was pondering the changes in the battle situation, "But I heard that the wind in North Luzon is also tightening, do the Luzon people want to repeat the old trick?"
"My lord, do you mean that the Luzon may re-invade the north?, but I have heard that Lord Li seems to be intent on punishing the Sithroes for their rudeness, so the cavalry of Mott and Tubu are stepping up their recuperation. "It is the love of soldiers to figure out the changes in the situation, after all, it is related to where this war will begin, and it also directly affects the interests of the soldiers.
"Sithro?" Sha Lang hesitated a little, "Is it possible? What benefits can be gained by teaching the Sithlos a lesson now? You must know that Lord Li has always put interests first in wars. β
A unit entered the camp from the flanks in a neat square formation, and the flag-bearers who were the first to carry the flag were holding high a big flag with red borders on a yellow background, and a fierce insect on the flag jumped up, vividly, flying and rolling in the wind, and it was very majestic.
"Hey, my lord, look!" the deputy said, pointing at the square in surprise.
"That's the Burmese army of Wenna! Wenna is known as the Tiger of Burma. The five sons are said to be all brave, and they are called the Five Tigers of Wenna, and the Tiger Banner is the military chess of their Burmese Legion!" Sha Lang squinted his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the unit that walked a few hundred meters away, figuring out the combat effectiveness of this unit, it can be called a tiger, it is estimated that it will not be too outrageous, it still looks like that, I don't know how to really go into battle.
"Division commander, let's go, it's too close to the enemy, and if it is discovered by the enemy, we are in danger. The deputy was a little worried.
"Enemy, where is the enemy here, as of now, both the Lang family and the Lin family are still our close allies, that is, I am now going out in a big way to ask to visit their army as an ally, I am afraid that they can only agree, at this time, who of them wants to offend us?" Therefore, in the past two days, I told the CIA that although they generously went behind enemy lines to collect intelligence, at this time, both the Lin family and the Lang family could only tolerate us as much as possible, avoid direct conflict with us, and give us an excuse to join the enemy's side. Sha Lang shouted in a loud voice, "I don't believe that Lang Yongquan is not worried about our involvement, it is estimated that Lang Yongquan's envoy should have been sitting in the mansion of the envoy of Jiedu at this time." β
The deputy was stunned by the rogue behavior of his division commander, and when he heard that he also encouraged the members of the Military Intelligence Agency to boldly go behind enemy lines to find information, this made him cry and laugh even more, but he was also used to seeing the absurd behavior of his superiors, and he was not surprised.
As Sha Lang said, the arrogant behavior of the Northwest Military Intelligence Bureau has caused great dissatisfaction among the Tiannan military, which has completed the siege of Hanzhong Fucheng.
"Father, those guys are so arrogant, yesterday alone our scout team captured five spies spying on the military, all of them in the northwest, we can't help but return the color, lest we say that we are too weak. Before the person could enter the tent, the voice had already arrived, and a young man broke in angrily and shouted loudly.
walked into the tent, but saw that there was a person sitting next to his father, it was Xie Changyang, the deputy commander of the Tiannan Army, the commander of the Northern Expedition, who realized that he was a little reckless, his dark face was red, and he shrank his head and quickly stood aside.
"Presumptuous! Wen Xiong, you are so bold to trespass on the handsome tent without passing the word, do you think that if you are my son, you can violate military discipline? Come on, drag this guy out for me, and beat me with twenty military sticks!" Wen Na, who has always been unfazed, couldn't help but be furious at this time, and lost face in front of the boss, how could Wen Na not be angry? This Wen Xiong is Wen Na's youngest son, and he has always had a violent spleen, but he is extremely brave in battle, which makes Wen Na have a headache.
"Forget it, Brother Wen, Young Brother Wen doesn't know that you and I are talking about things, and those who don't know are not to blame. Xie Changyang deliberately eased his cheeks and waved his hand, "Wen Xiong, you go out first, I have something to discuss with your father." β
Glancing at his father hesitantly, the two sergeants who rushed in also stood aside stupidly, not knowing what to do, Wen Na roared irritably: "Don't get out of here!"
The head rat ran away.
"Brother Wenna, it seems that the Northwest people are very rampant. Xie Changyang's face flashed with a hint of worry.
"Who says it's not? During this time, the horses, scouts, and spies in the northwest flocked in, and they repeatedly entered the military restricted area we had designated to spy and spy on them, and they couldn't be guarded against, and as soon as they were caught, the people from the northwest side came to negotiate, and my lord told me not to cause more trouble at this time, what else could I do? What's more, we caught a guy disguised as a hunter near the barracks, and he actually said that he was a military observer sent by the Allies, and he had come to find out about the situation.
"Military observer?" Xie Changyang couldn't help but laugh, how could these people in the northwest like to invent some new terms, I heard that the northwest has also set up a joint staff headquarters for military affairs in the army, which is specially responsible for handling military affairs, and what kind of military justice director is responsible for dealing with those who violate military discipline in the army, and even Li Wufeng himself cannot interfere with it, this has become a strange talk in the world, and even the supreme commander cannot interfere, so is it still called the supreme commander? What is the authority of the supreme commander?
