Chapter 654: Liguan Wuchuan
The army rolled westward, like an inexhaustible torrent through the narrow valley mouth. Everyone who arrives here will turn their heads to look at the mountain beam on the right.
There, a huge tiger skin chair was placed, Wu Gen was lying in the chair, carrying a wine jug in his hand, and there were two evildoers, Niu Chao and Ji Chenming, who were drunk and hazy watching everyone pass by under the mountain.
It stands to reason that when the army goes out, the commander must lead the whole army to sacrifice heaven and earth, swear to be strong, and comfort ordinary soldiers. But the owner of his own village is good, he doesn't show up on weekdays, and he only shows up when he is about to fight.
But everyone saw this hanging, no upright village owner, and their hanging hearts suddenly let go of a lot, fortunately, as long as this person lives, with him, the dreadnought army will not disperse, chaos, or defeat.
This kind of blind self-confidence comes from Wu Gan's increasingly profound prestige, and it also comes from the victories of the dreadnought army. It is precisely by relying on the many achievements that these soldiers are convinced that as long as the commander is there, everything will be solved.
It's just that this guy's posture is really a little too arrogant, how different from the bandit leader. So, swearing, the soldiers ran through the valley toward the rolling hills to the west.
Shui Congyue came up and looked at Wu Gan, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the cultivation is solid, and I have cultivated well these days." didn't say much to Wu Gan, and left with such a sentence.
When the other major generals passed by, they also went up the mountain to pay respects, but they were thrown away by Wu Gan and kicked away by one person, and even Ha Ying was driven into the front army by Wu Gan.
Soon, the army disappeared into the vast hills in front of the mountain, and when the last carriage drove out of the valley,
Wu Yan swept away the laziness of the past few days, and said to Bayan and Qiao Ban beside him: "From today on, we will start to build the pass, and if there are not enough people, we will be drawn from the mountains. This pass must be built with an iron wall, and it will be as solid as gold, and in the future, the west side of my good mountain will have to be guarded by this pass."
"Village master, this pass is still four hundred miles away from my nearest Yingzhu City, and it is not easy to supply." Bayan was a little worried that once it was completed, the dangerous terrain of Wuchuan Pass would inevitably attract others to covet it, and it would not be easy for his own soldiers and horses to support him.
"This is the first pass, and you will build a city to assist as you see fit, all in all, you must block more than 100,000 people here." Wu Yan was unmoved, and was determined to rivet this exit to the west.
So, in front of this dangerous valley mouth, Wu Gen took 10,000 soldiers and recruited people to start the great cause of building the customs. Every day, like ordinary people, he carried rocks and cut down trees, regardless of the situation in front of him.
Only at night would he stand on the high mountain beam, looking out at the boundless mountains to the west, and listen to Ning Yuxi's daily report on the military situation and the situation in various parts of the mountain.
After the dreadnought army went out of Liangsha Mountain, it led the front army and the Chinese army straight to the west, and pounced on the hinterland of Xia Ri's house along the Qi River that originated from Liangsha Mountain.
On the other hand, Bao Xiang was the main one, leading the left and right armies and the rear army, first along the mountain to the south, sweeping away the resistance to the south, and then suddenly turning westward, converging with Shui Congyue's men and horses, preparing to attack the main force of the summer family.
The route of travel of the two roads is like a huge pair of pincers, fiercely pointing to Xia Cheng, the main city of the summer family.
At the same time, to the flower family
The eight coalition troops led by the group, led more than 200,000 horses, also raised troops in the north, attacking the city all the way, and the troops pointed directly at Jincheng, the main city of the Hulan family.
Smoke erupted everywhere, and those ten thousand households loyal to the Hulan family sent troops to prepare to defend Jincheng. But the sudden news that there were soldiers coming out of the Liangsha Mountain made these families near the east feel worried.
For many years, due to the mediation of the Ascending Temple, there are very few troops between the provinces. Which family do these soldiers and horses that emerged from the Liangsha Mountain belong to, after all, this mountain is a place of three things. Soon, news reached the ears of the families, this group of centaurs and herdsmen were mixed, and most of the leaders were Terrans.
Except for the Dreadnought, there is no second team in Kuntianzhou that is so arranged. Although I heard that this group of people and horses was quite fierce next door, Bailing Province was far richer than Iron Hand Province, and its troops were naturally much stronger, so they would not take the dreadnought army in their eyes.
These waste families in the Iron Hand Province are really disgraced to the shepherds, and they have let a group of the most despicable
The Terrans oppressed their heads and did not dare to speak.
From the bottom of their hearts, these families in Bailing Province look down on these colleagues next door. Moreover, a large part of the income of the province of Bailing was obtained through the sale of human races, and it was absolutely unacceptable for these people in the province to be given the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with the shepherds.
Therefore, in the face of huge interests, after hearing that the dreadnought army went out to cover the mountain, the neighboring Gu, Sang and other families sent some soldiers and horses to support the summer family.
For these families, the Dreadnought is like an invader, so they are quite brave when they fight.
The battle ahead was fierce, and Wu Gan's heart was also with the war
The progress of the ups and downs. On this day, after reporting that Shui Congyue had broken through the enemy who was blocking him in front of him and went deep into the depths of Xia Ri's house, looking at Wu Gan's anxious expression, Ning Yuxi thought about it and proposed: "Village master, otherwise you go to the army, and the construction of the city here will be handed over to Ba Qu Chang, and besides, Lu Yuan also rushed here with the people, it should be no big problem."
Wu Gen looked at the hills with a layer of clear mist floating in the distance, and sighed, "I'm waiting for someone, don't leave until the danger is built."
"Who are you waiting for?" Ning Yuxi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face was a little puzzled.
Looking at the west and then at the north, Wu Yan couldn't help laughing, "I don't know who I'm waiting for, those who should come will come, and those who shouldn't come will come."
Speaking of this, Wu Yan turned his head to look at the woman beside him, hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Meng Zhuo was killed by me, don't you hate it."
Ning Yuxi straightened the hair on his sideburns, avoiding Wu Gan's gaze and looking into the distance. With a long sigh, he said quietly: "If there is no heartstring fluctuation, it is false, after all, husband and wife always don't want him to end up like this. But it's more of a relief, and I finally let go of this thorn in my heart, and I don't have to worry about being given to others again. After that, you can be yourself cleanly."
"That's good, there are still many sons of the Dreadnought, all of whom are of good character, if you fancy any of them, just say a word, and I will definitely give you a big deal." Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, the killing of Meng Zhuo had always been pressed to the bottom of his heart like a needle, and today's words were picked apart, but it allowed him to unload this burden.
"No need, Fang Li,
How can they be caught in the net again. In the future, it is better to walk around with the dreadnought army and see the different customs outside, so as to live up to the passing years." Ning Yuxi's face was gloomy, and he looked into the distance a little blankly.
Wu Yan opened his mouth, and finally pressed down on his desire to be a matchmaker for Yang Zheng.
Half a month later, news came from the front that the two sides of the Dreadnought Army had finally met in Xiacheng after more than ten battles.
The resistance on the outskirts of the Summer House has been routed, and even the reinforcements of the other families have been scattered. According to Wu Gan's military order, the dreadnought army did not give up on these scattered men and horses, and killed the killers, even if they surrendered, they would be beheaded strictly according to the ratio of one out of ten.
The reason why this is the case is that Wu Gen found that the resistance of these families is very strong, and there are still many families that need to be attacked in the future.
The first battle must hurt the other party hard, so that those families will be afraid of the dreadnought, so that they will not lose blood to the dreadnought army in waves like wild wolves.
Wu Gen did not have any instructions for the siege of the city, this is the matter of water from the moon and the treasure elephant, and now he, like every man in front of Wuchuan Pass, picks up stones and soil, and watches the wall rise little by little, blocking the valley mouth, and tightly connecting the mountain walls on both sides.
"Owner of the village, a group of people are rushing towards the front of the pass." On this day, Wu Yan was busy piling up the wall, and Ba Yan hurriedly rushed up and reported loudly.
Wu Yan put down the broken knife in his hand, and now the broken knife has a new errand, which is to cut the quarried boulders into square stones and fill them into the thick wall.
"Panic what." Wu Yan glared at Ba Yanyi dissatisfied
Eye, patted the dust on his hands, "How many people came."
Seeing the frightened eyes around him, Ba Yan also knew that he had just lost his words, and said in a low voice, "According to the report from the spies, there are about 20,000 people, under the banner of the Qiyan family."
"The beggar family, they don't think it's too far." Wu Yan sneered and said, this Qiyan family is a 10,000-family family in the south of Bailing Province, and there is a solid family separated from the Xia Ri family, I didn't expect them to run so far and actually touch the front of Wuchuan Pass.
"Put your men and horses in the newly built wall and the mountains on either side, and use the heaven-shaking bows, and the slings, and the beds. Stay in front of the enemy and let these people retreat, and the more chaotic the withdrawal, the better." Wu Yan looked at the wall that had only been repaired for thirty percent, and shook his head slightly, "In addition, Niu Chao and Ji Chen should be called, and those strange things they raised should also come in handy."
"Yes." Ba Yan hurriedly responded, today he is really a little out of shape, if he messes up the morale of the army, then he is the culprit of the defeat. The Dreadnought Army has been exhausted, and they don't want to have any reinforcements, so they can only rely on these people to block the opponent's attack.
Soon, the 10,000 rear army changed their armor and hid in the fortifications that had been laid behind the mountain, while some of the men and horses stayed behind the wall and fought against the enemy in front of Wu Gan.
On the low and rolling hills in front of the pass, a cloud of dust was rolling in. The smoke and dust got closer and closer, revealing the countless people and horses wrapped in it.
These men were all one man and two horses, and even so, the soldier's face was quite tired. The long trek and the winding mountain road made them lose their sharpness, until they saw the steep valley mouth and the square wall that had been erected, stained
Dust's face finally showed relief.
The soldiers and horses stopped two miles away from the wall, and a general of the beggar family urged the horses out of the ranks, raised his hand to look at the high wall in front of him, which seemed to be unfinished, and couldn't help but rejoice that he had arrived here day and night despite the fatigue of the men and horses. If the fortress is built, look at this majestic mountain, how many lives will have to be filled in before it can be attacked.
On the city, there are still a lot of people who are busy, and when they see people and horses coming, they are rushing towards the valley with rolling belts.
The general sneered, this so-called dreadnought army is really a group of reckless men who don't know the military formation, the army went out, and the back road actually forgot to defend, what is the use of building a city at this time. This time, his home was attacked, and his family was asked for support, but he came late due to the long distance.
But when I arrived at the territory of the Xia Ri family, I heard that the three coalition forces were defeated by others, and even Xia Cheng was besieged.
The situation was unfavorable, he did not retreat, nor did he rashly support Xia Cheng. After all, this city wall is so high that I don't believe that his dreadnought army can take it down in a while.
Instead of fighting to the death of the dreadnought army and throwing his 20,000 people under the city, it is better to cut off its back road, wait for the follow-up men and horses of each family to arrive in Xia City one after another, and then work together to defeat the dreadnought.
So, he followed the trail of the dreadnought army all the way, and finally found the location of Wuchuan Pass. Fortunately, it came in time, such a low wall, although the horses could not jump on it, but sending a group of warriors to climb up the first could not defeat these people who did not even have weapons.
Looking up at the mountains on both sides, although there were also a small number of figures shaking, as the people left, these people also turned around and ran towards the valley.
"A rabble." The general sneered
sounded, and raised the horsewhip in his hand, "Siege."
