96、The opening of the battle for Dujiangyan [4/4]

The prince of Shu was frightened, jumped up on the ground, pointed at Yi Yun with trembling fingers and said, "Good nephew...... This...... How did you come up with such a terrible idea? Rebels...... The rebels may not think of attacking Dujiangyan, right?"

Yi Yun sighed and said, "Uncle Cousin...... The rebels were heading towards Dujiangyan from the beginning. Please look at this map......"

He unfolded the map he had drawn, and then drew a marching arrow of the rebels: "Look here, this is Mount Emei...... The rebels passed through Mount Emei and then moved west of Chengdu...... They sent a cavalry of 500 men from a few dozen miles to the west to attack the west gate of Chengdu, luring us to retreat into the city and give up reconnaissance and spying on their main force. The other 1,500 people were on the move...... cough, it was the camel that continued to move north without stopping, and went directly to Dujiangyan. Only in this way can we explain why the enemy suddenly appeared outside the West Gate. ”

"If the small garrison of Dujiangyan saw that Chengdu had lit a beacon fire and knew that the Chengdu Oasis was being attacked, would they send troops to help?" Yi Yun asked.

Lord Shu nodded profusely with sweat.

"Then ......" Yi Yun made a cross between Dujiangyan and Chengdu with his pen, and sighed: "Now the reinforcements of Dujiangyan have been eaten by the enemy army with 1,500 cavalry in this position, and these 1,500 cavalry are rapidly attacking Dujiangyan. ”

The prince of Shu was sweating and creepy.

"If my guess is correct, then it is pointless for the governors of the three provinces to guard the southern city gate, and they should not even find a single enemy hair by now. ”

As soon as Yi Yun's voice fell, a herald ran over from the south, sent by Zhao Yu, the governor of the three provinces, who ran to the prince of Shu and reported: "Lord Wang, there has been no trace of the enemy at the south gate, and the governor has sent me to inform you, be careful that the enemy army is ambushed outside the west gate." ”

The prince of Shu brushed the ground and jumped up: "There is still an ambush, and the enemy went directly to Dujiangyan." me! Hurry back to the south gate, tell Zhao Yu, that fool, to divide half of the troops to guard the south gate, and transfer all 1,000 war camels to me, I will immediately go out of the city from the north gate and rush to the aid of Dujiangyan, it will be all over if it is too late. ”

The herald was startled and went off with a.

The prince of Shu grabbed Yi Yun's hand and sighed: "Good nephew, thanks to your cleverness, you saw through the enemy's plan to attack the west, this city full of civil and military forces in Chengdu, no one thought of this, stupid talents, all stupid talents! Sure enough, only the bloodline of our heavenly family is trustworthy, if the Dujiangyan Oasis can be saved, it is all your credit, I will show credit to His Majesty the Emperor and ask her to seal a fief for you." ”――

Between the two oases of Chengdu and Dujiangyan, there is a desert that stretches for hundreds of miles, this desert is more desolate than the ordinary desert, because thousands of years ago, it is often invaded by the quicksand of the Minjiang River, so the disaster is extremely serious, there is not even a cactus, and there is no gravel on the ground, and there is a long yellow sand everywhere.

There is a huge rock in this desert, shaped like a cat wiping its ears, therefore, this rock is called "rubbing the ear rock" by the merchants who come and go from the south to the north, and it is an important landmark between Chengdu and Dujiangyan. When you walk next to this rock, you are halfway there.

At this time, under the rubbing of the ear rock, there were corpses lying all over the place, not to mention three or four hundred, all of them were wearing the clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers of the Great Meng Country, among which there was a third-order general, who was also in a different place at this time.

Next to their corpses, a unit of sand cavalry had just finished recuperating and was preparing to continue on the road.

This sand cavalry force has more than 1,500 people, led by Su Muran's military division Soft Muxing, they have just intercepted and killed the troops from Dujiangyan to reinforce Chengdu, and after a short rest, they turned over again and climbed on the camel, preparing to march towards Dujiangyan.

"Master Strategist, we're ready to go. ”

Soft Muxing nodded, she didn't leave immediately, but knelt in front of the ear rubbing rock, and bowed respectfully to the corpse on the ground, this nineteen-year-old girl obviously hadn't exercised her heart of stone, and she still felt a little guilty about the dead. She muttered: "In order to promote peace in the four seas and rebuild the new Dameng country, I had to kill you as a last resort, I hope you don't blame me...... After completing this mission, I will definitely not be able to escape, most of them will come to the Netherworld to find you, and then your resentment can be vented on me......"

Soft Muxing turned over the camel and said loudly: "Let's go! Our army's traces have been revealed, and every second counts." ”

Fifteen hundred sand cavalry immediately rushed wildly, and a blue light suddenly lit up on Soft Muxing's body, and the word "Zhi General" jumped above her head, and she shouted softly: "The soldier is a fast strategy!"

The blue light swept the ground and covered all the sand cavalry, and the speed of the entire cavalry team immediately increased greatly, and the fifteen hundred people seemed to bring a yellow desert tornado, carrying rolling dust and sand towards the direction of Dujiangyan.

Half a day later!

The soldiers and horses led by the prince of Shu finally came to the foot of the rubbing rock, they quietly came out of the city from the north gate, and did not alarm Su Muran's troops outside the south gate. After a half-day rapid march, we arrived at the Rubbing Rock.

There was blood in the wind and sand, and Yi Yun frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.

In order to rescue Dujiangyan faster, the prince of Shu organized a thousand cavalry at the fastest speed and galloped to the aid in the starry night. Worried that Chengdu would be lost, and to prevent Sanjiang Pavilion from taking the opportunity to make trouble, the Lord of Shu left the three Red Lotus masters in the Chengdu Oasis just in case. only brought Yi Yun, An Qian, and Li Chengyu.

Yi Yun didn't like to go out, but this time the plan was drawn up by him, if he ran to Dujiangyan but fell short, and the enemy did not attack Dujiangyan as he calculated, then he would be embarrassed and embarrassed, so he also followed over to see if his guess was true.

His guess came to light when they saw corpses strewn across the ground at Rubbing Ear Rock...... This time the dust has settled, and the enemy army must have gone to Dujiangyan. From the stiffness of the corpse, it was easy to tell that the enemy had passed for half a day.

The prince of Shu was so anxious that he was not even in the mood to order the burial of the corpse, and said loudly: "Hurry forward, arrive at Dujiangyan one minute early, and rescue the Shali project one minute earlier." ”

Unlike the Lord of Shu, Yi Yun seemed very calm. First of all, Da Meng Guo is not the People's Republic of China, and he does not have a deep love for the motherland in this country, so it is none of his business for Da Meng Guo to defeat the war, he is not in a hurry. Secondly, he thought of a key point, the form of Dujiangyan did not seem to be as dangerous as he imagined.

"Uncle Cousin, please don't be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, you will lose the battle!" Yi Yun said very seriously: "The enemy army has passed for half a day, even if we hurry up, Dujiangyan will definitely fall, and when the time comes...... The enemy became the defender of the city, and our army became the besieging side. ”

The prince of Shu sighed: "I know...... That's why I'm even more anxious. We only have 1,000 men, and the other side has 1,500 men, and if we fight on the plains, we may be able to rely on exquisite command or stronger individual quality to win, but if the other side defends the city, it is more than enough to defend the city with 1,500 men and 1,000 men to attack the city. ”

"That's right, the besieging side will always suffer, not to mention that we have few people, let alone try to take advantage, and then we can only watch the rebels destroy the Dujiangyan Shali Project. Iyun sighed.

"Good nephew, you are smart, help your cousin find a way. "The prince of Shu was so anxious that he was about to jump up, if Dujiangyan was really destroyed and quicksand hit, his fiefdom would be all over.

"Uncle Cousin...... Dujiangyan is a huge project, and it can't be destroyed with a hoe or an axe, right?" Yi Yun asked.

"That's right!" said the prince of Shu: "Dujiangyan is an extremely great project, built by using the natural terrain, how can it be destroyed with hoes and axes? If you want to block the mouth of the treasure bottle, you need to use at least several thousand catties of explosives, bury them all on the Yulei Mountain next to the mouth of the treasure bottle, blow up the mountain, and let the mountain stones roll down the river at the mouth of the treasure bottle, so that it can be blocked. ”

"Wow, Uncle Cousin is amazing! It's just a technical expert who blew up Dujiangyan, if you blow it up with your own hands, you guarantee that if you bomb it, you will block the mouth of the treasure bottle." Ewan laughed.

The prince of Shu smiled bitterly: "Good nephew, don't joke with my cousin, I'm dying." ”

"Uncle don't worry, think about it...... The enemy army is a cavalry unit, thousands of miles away, all the way to avoid the oasis and sneak here, there is no supply at all, how much food do they have to bring?" Yi Yun laughed.

"Hmm...... I'm afraid that my bag is full of food, otherwise I would have run out of food a long time ago. ”

"That's right!" Yi Yun shook his fan and smiled, "I bet they didn't bring gunpowder!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the prince of Shu suddenly lit up: "Yes, it is absolutely impossible for the rebels' sand cavalry to carry gunpowder, they can only find gunpowder on the spot, but the Dujiangyan oasis is relatively small, and there are few cannons on the city wall, so there is no reserve of gunpowder in Dujiangyan at all, and they can only find a few hundred catties of gunpowder in the warehouse for emergency use, which is not enough to blow up Yulei Mountain." ”

"Hehe!" Yi Yun then laughed, "So, they have to go to the surrounding small oasis to collect gunpowder......"

The prince of Shu learned from Yi Yun's appearance, took out a pen and paper, and quickly drew a large circle on the paper, indicating Dujiangyan, and then drew a few small circles next to it, these circles represent several miniature oases next to Dujiangyan, Baisha Township Oasis, Puyang Town Oasis, Jiahong Township Oasis, Tianma Town Oasis...... "They will find gunpowder in these oases, collect all the gunpowder in these oases, and they can make up the dose needed to blow up Yulei Mountain." The prince of Shu laughed and said: "Let's take the lead and collect all the gunpowder, and the rebels will be dumbfounded." ”

"Uncle cousin, it takes time for the rebels to attack Dujiangyan, and when they take Dujiangyan, they find that the gunpowder is not enough to go out of the city, at least a day, our army will not go to Dujiangyan, catch up with this time difference, go to the surrounding small oasis to collect the gunpowder, in addition, I have another idea...... Yi Yun smiled: "After we take away the gunpowder, the enemy army will definitely stay in Dujiangyan, our troops are not as good as them, and we will not be able to recapture the oasis for a while and a half, which is also a troublesome thing." If the enemy uses a small amount of gunpowder, plus hoes and axes, to dig down Yulei Mountain, maybe they can do it if they are given a little time. ”

"That'...... What is the clever plan of the good nephew?" "The prince of Shu has now admired Yi Yun's resourcefulness so much that he has invisibly regarded him as his military advisor.

Yi Yun smiled, pointed to his nose and said, "Uncle Cousin, if I were a gunpowder merchant...... I have a shipment of gunpowder to be bought for, and do you think the rebels will treat me as a guest......?
