Chapter 189: Pros and Cons

"Woo————

Outside the Chicken Head Pass, there are all the chaotic flags and the heads of people at a glance.

The sound of the horn was accompanied by a deafening shout of killing.

As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there is no boundary.

Now there are more than 10,000 rogues outside the Jitou Pass, and it seems that there are more than 50,000 people, connected from end to end, as far as the eye can see.

The rogue in front of him had already covered the entire front, surging towards the location of Jitou Pass like a tidal wave.

Behind it, there were also a large number of rogue foot riders constantly pouring out of the camp outside the pass or on the horizon.

"Kill!

!」

Countless ragged and hungry soldiers gathered together, slamming towards the wall of Jitou Pass like a black wave.

Ladder after ladder was erected, and one after another, the hungry soldiers of the rogues, with blades in hand, struggled to climb up against the tattered round shields.

Looking down from the clouds in the sky, the dense black ant colony almost crawled over the entire wall of Jitou Pass, which was extremely terrifying.

"Put!"

Accompanied by the bursts of shouts and killings outside the pass, there were hoarse shouts from time to time on the wall of Jitou Pass, and then a high-pitched swan sound suddenly sounded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang!

!」

With the sound of firearms shooting that resounded in the sky, a large area of gunpowder smoke rose again above the wall of Jitou Pass.

Under the rows of firebolts above the city, the rogues who swarmed outside the city instantly fell down like wheat, suffering heavy casualties.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Without treatment, you will not be eligible to live at all.

The volley of artillery from above the wall finally destroyed the morale of the rogue outside the gate.

The rogues who had been swarming were all terrified, and they turned around, ignoring everything, and fled backwards screaming, even the old bandits who were overseeing the battle could not stop the rout.

The terrain of Jitou Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the defenders occupy a great advantage, and it is difficult to give full play to the crowd tactics of the rogues.

Above the Guan Tower, Chen Wang looked at Guan Xia with a clairvoyant mirror in his hand.

Chen Wang was transferred to guard Jitou Pass in mid-March, and has now been stationed at Jitou Pass for four months.

It has been nearly half a month since the Liukou attack outside the Guan, and most of the Liukou have already been able to arrive, but it is still because of the destruction of the plank roads in some areas that their speed has slowed down a lot.

Hu Zhiyi, who was guarding Xing'an, was transferred back by Chen Wang's family and went to the aid of Xianxian.

Chen Wang did not leave a single battalion soldier in Xing'an Prefecture, and all the defense was handed over to Du Wugang.

Du Wugang did a good job, at least there was no big problem in Tuntian.

In the sea of colorful flags outside the pass, two towering dachis, one on the left and one on the right, each occupy two high slopes, and a group of rogue spirits surround them, which is particularly attracting people's attention.

Under the camera, the words written on both sides of the big scroll and the people and horses under it were all in Chen Wang's eyes.

There are two sides of the big soup, one side is the scorpion block Tuoyangkun's big soup, and the other side is the second team's high-deserved big soup.

The banners used by the 72nd battalion of Liukou were basically recorded by the Ming army, and as the deputy commander-in-chief, Chen Wang naturally had access to this information.

On April 25 of this year, Hong Chengchou sent Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian, Zu Dabi, and Sun Xianzu to jointly attack.

The officers and soldiers entered the mountains and met the thieves at Guojiaba, and the two sides fought fiercely in the rain, and the thieves were killed and wounded.

Although the initial achievements of the offensive and suppression were made, because of the difficulty in grain transshipment, after the lack of food in the army, they had no choice but to retreat.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Gong keenly noticed that something was wrong with Chen Wang's expression.

"The banner is right, but the people under the banner are wrong."

Chen Wang frowned slightly, and handed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Chen Wang, who was standing aside.

Chen Gong stretched out his hands and took the clairvoyant mirror from Chen Wang's hand quite carefully.

This clairvoyant mirror was bought by his eldest brother last year at a place called a trench mirror in the southeast, and only one pair cost dozens of taels of silver, and a total of five pieces were bought, not counting the road and freight costs.

Chen Wang's main purpose was to send people to buy classics, such as a series of Western classics such as "The Illustration of Strange Artifacts in the Far West".

Of course, there are also some domestic classics, such as Wang Zheng's "New Instrument Diagram", Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu", Xu Guangqi's "Agricultural Administration" and so on.

In addition to buying classics, there seems to be a main task, it seems to be looking for someone, it seems to be called Bo Jue, in Jiashan, Zhejiang.

I heard that Bo Jue is a very talented person, and he is a student in the county, and he is a talent to put it in layman's terms.

However, his talent lies not in academics, but in craftsmen.

From farm tools, tools, houses, and waterwheels to firearms, artillery, and telescopes, it seems that Bo Jue knows a lot about them.

Chen Gong didn't know where Chen Wang knew about the entrenchment mirror, and he knew so many things.

From the beginning of the construction of the city, to the later training in Tuntian, Chen Wangdu handled it with ease and knew a lot of things.

Chen Gong found that he didn't seem to know anything about this eldest brother who grew up with him and had been in the army for many years.

Chen Gong raised his scope and looked in the direction of the two big curtains.

"It doesn't seem to be Tuoyangkun and Gao deserve."

Chen Gong also frowned, he also noticed that something was wrong.

"Gao Yingde heard that he was wearing a white robe, so he shouldn't be wearing red, and the leaders of the Qin Diliu Kou camp like to wear red clothes

The little red wolf is the only one?"

Chen Gong's tone was a little uncertain, and the distance was quite far away, even if he had a telescope to look at, he couldn't really see it.

But looking at its costume, it is indeed similar to the description of the little red wolf.

Chen Wang's eyes condensed slightly, and his gaze swept over the rogue outside the gate, and the general situation was already eight or nine that he knew.

"The probability of nine out of nine is to mix 100,000 and Xiao Honglang, under the banner of scorpion blocks and high deserving."

Chen Wangyao looked at the big dragon standing on the road on both sides in the distance, and said in a deep voice.

"The rogues outside the gate are basically infantry and hungry soldiers, there are almost more than 30,000 people, and the rest of the horse army and elite cavalry add up to less than six or seven thousand people, that is, if you say more, you will die of 10,000 horse troops and elite cavalry."

If Gao Yingde and Tuoyangkun had only 10,000 horses and fine cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong would have eaten them up a long time ago, and where would he let them run into Shaanxi.

Besides, there are only more than 10,000 horse army elite cavalry, and it is estimated that they will not run away, and if there are few people, most of them will simply join Zhang Xianzhong's command.

"Over there in Chuxian, it's different, there are more elite cavalry troops, and the banner of the Liukou is Li Zicheng, which seems to be the main force of the Liukou."

There seems to be nothing wrong with the Tang newspaper from the county, it seems to be the main force of the Liukou, but Chen Wang still doesn't feel right.

If it is the main force under Li Zicheng, according to the Tang report handed by Zhou Yumao, it seems that the intensity of the attack is not high.

Chen Wang held his hand on the railing, frowning and thinking.

According to the original process, without himself in Hanzhong, Zhou Yumao was unable to block the attack of the little red wolf, so that the little red wolf attacked Hanzhong Mansion, and even surrounded Hanzhong City for a time.

The battalion guards in Hanzhong Mansion could not resist and could only maintain a defensive position.

In the end, Hong Chengchou sent Cao Bianjiao into Hanzhong, and Cao Bianjiao broke through the little red wolf to lift the siege of Hanzhong.

Because of this, Hanzhong Prefecture changed to guerrilla in the second year and set up a deputy general.

But now this matter has already advanced because of Chen Wang's influence.

"Hanzhong, Sichuan ......"

Outside the gate, the deafening shouts of killing were heard again, and the Liukou once again stopped the attack, and they once again launched an attack on the city.

Chen Wang looked at the Liukou who was used again like a tide under the gate, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Li Zicheng did not invade the Hanzhong Mansion, but went all the way south from Luoyang and directly entered the border of Ningqiang Prefecture.

Then go to Ningqiang Prefecture, pass through Qipanguan and enter Sichuan directly.

After entering Sichuan, Li Zicheng entered Guangyuan Chaotian Pavilion, and then broke through more than 30 counties in Sichuan Province all the way.

The Sichuan soldiers are good at fighting and have geographical advantages, so it stands to reason that they should not have been defeated so badly, but most of the Sichuan soldiers were requisitioned out of Sichuan at this time and entered Huguang and other places.

In the huge northern part of Sichuan, counting the guards, there were only more than 9,000 people, and they still needed to guard various dangerous roads, and there were only less than 2,000 soldiers under the command of Hou Liangzhu, the chief soldier of Sichuan.

At that time, there were still many rogues in Sichuan Province, and in May, some of them broke into the territory of Nanjiang and Tongjiang and captured two cities.

Hou Liangzhu had no choice but to divide his troops again, and his troops were even thinner.

Chen Wang's eyes condensed slightly, and he found something that he hadn't noticed before.

According to historical records, Li Zicheng captured Ningqiang in September and then went south to Sichuan.

Hou Liangzhu hurriedly refused to fight in Mianzhou, was outnumbered and died.

Mianzhou is not in Baoning Mansion, but in the northeast of Chengdu Mansion, according to the previous situation, Hou Liangzhu should be in Guangyuan, guarding Qipanguan.

But I don't know why it was in October, but it was in Mianzhou, Chengdu Prefecture.

The emptiness of Sichuan may have already been mastered by the rogue.

Chen Wang suddenly had a feeling that he could see the sun, for Li Zicheng, Sichuan was the real fat.

All his actions are just confusing, whether it is the battle with Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Guangxian in April before, or the current fanfare

Attacking Hanzhong Mansion, everything is just a trick to cover the eyes, and the sound is a plan to attack the west.

Li Zicheng did not learn Gao Yingxiang's mind and strategy, but instead learned the method of setting up an ambush for Zhang Chengchou, which Hong Chengchou had always used, to the point of comprehension.

Although he figured out the trick, Chen Wang's face was not half happy.

Because now there is a more difficult thing for him to choose - whether to prevent Li Zicheng from going south to Sichuan.

Choosing no, although there have been a lot of changes in history, what Li Zicheng has done after entering Sichuan this time should be similar to the original process, and it will not change much.

As the deputy commander of the Hanzhong Mansion, he needs to bear the responsibility for the fall of Ningqiang Prefecture, and he also needs to bear the responsibility of letting the Liukou pass through Hanzhong Mansion.

The more damage the Liukou cause in Sichuan Province at that time, the greater the black cauldron on their backs will be.

And the choice is to gather troops in Qipanguan or Ningqiang Prefecture, maybe it is really possible to block Li Zicheng on the road to Shu.

It can also save the people of more than 30 cities in Sichuan Province who would have been coerced or slaughtered.

But rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a jackal like Li Zicheng.

At the beginning of the battle of Heishuiyu, Chen Wang knew very well how strong the combat effectiveness of the outbreak of the army and the trapped beasts was very strong.

And there is another thing to pay attention to, once the Liukou is frustrated under the Qipan Pass or outside Ningqiang Prefecture.

Faced with the situation of being surrounded by the north and the south, there is a high probability that the Liukou will turn east to Hanzhong Mansion, and the soldiers in Hanzhong Mansion alone may not be able to hold it.

Even if it was the best result, Li Zicheng was blocked in Ningqiang and Li Zicheng was captured.

Without Li Zicheng, what will become of the pattern in the Guannai will be completely traceless and become a mess.

Chen Wang's mind was chaotic, and countless thoughts were constantly pulsating in it.
