Jianzhou City is not only defended by soldiers, but also has a lot of food!

The military rations of Jianmen Pass must first be transported to Jianzhou City, and then the people will be organized to transfer them.

Let's put it this way, as long as the guard's brain is fine, even if the sword gate is bypassed, he is not afraid.

The enemy who rushes around will be stuck between Jianzhou and Jianmen. There is only one road to go, and there are no villages along the way, and you can't grab food in the countryside, and you have to become a hungry soldier if you drag it for a month.

Moreover, it can also send troops from Jianzhou and Jianmen to carry out a north-south flank attack on the enemy behind it.

Li Jinyi led a thousand elite soldiers, carrying only a few days' dry food, and accelerated his speed to be a pioneer.

To the north of the Cuiyun Corridor, there is a depression sandwiched between the mountains, with an area of only a pitiful 0.1 square kilometers. The overnight place where the caravan usually stays has now become a small grain station, and a stockade has been built on the northern mountains to prevent a sneak attack by thieves from Su Xiaodao.

Li Jinyi was still at the foot of the mountain, but he was discovered by the soldiers in the village, and quickly ignited the billowing wolf smoke.

"The soldiers are so fast that they don't care about their lives. The whole army abandoned the armor and attacked it with me! Li Jinyi raised his gun and shouted.

A thousand elite soldiers took off their rattan armor and began to accelerate forward, and due to the influence of the terrain, they lined up in a long snake formation and went up the mountain.

There were only 300 officers and soldiers defending the cottage, and seeing that Li Jinyi rushed up without his life, the officers actually abandoned the village and fled. Anyway, the wolf smoke has been lit, and the mountain here is not steep, so it is better to withdraw to the dangerous Cuiyun Corridor and defend it.

is still the same sentence, for the sake of a few military salaries, you can't fight with the thieves!

Li Jinyi captured the cottage without losing an inch of his troops, but continued to chase forward: "Don't stop, rush all the way to the Cuiyun Corridor!" ”

A thousand elite soldiers chased and killed from Hanzhong to Jianzhou, and they were all victorious, and they no longer regarded the officers and soldiers as human beings. Just now, when they abandoned their armor and attacked the mountain, some people were scared, but when they saw the officers and soldiers fleeing, they were so excited that their morale was bursting.

The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't understand why the thieves were chasing after the thieves broke through the cottage?

One chased and one fled and approached the depression under the mountain.

Hundreds of stones of grain have been piled up at the small grain transport station, and there are more than 100 officers and soldiers guarding the grain and 5 or 600 grain transporters resting.

When they saw the wolf smoke in the mountains in front of them, they had become panicked, and they didn't know how many thieves had killed, and they didn't know if the Sword Gate Pass had been breached.

"Run!"

The 300 routed soldiers in the cottage crawled down the mountain with rolling belts, and some people fell halfway.

"Run!"

The grain transporter was the first to react, and fled to the Cuiyun Corridor in a swarm.

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers who were carrying the grain also began to flee.

Li Jinyi led his troops to rush to the small grain station, didn't bother to look at the grain, and continued to chase the troops in front.

Halfway up the mountain to the north of the Cuiyun Corridor, there is also a cottage.

The defenders of the cottage didn't understand what was going on at all, they had just lit the wolf smoke to deliver the news, and they saw nearly a thousand defeated soldiers fleeing in disarray. As a result, the officers of this cottage also fled with their soldiers in a daze.

It is worthy of the Sichuan officers and soldiers who were defeated and retreated by the barbarians......

Li Jinyi rushed up to the Cuiyun Corridor in one breath, but he couldn't catch up anymore, he was so tired that he supported his knees with his hands, bent over and panted.

His soldiers also lay on the ground in twos and threes.

After resting for a while, Li Jinyi divided his troops to defend the Cuiyun Corridor, and sent the remaining soldiers back to get the rattan armor, and by the way, he received hundreds of stones of grain from the depression.

Without waiting for Shi Yuangong and Deng Chun to lead the main force to arrive, Li Jinyi rested for a day, divided dozens of people to guard the grain, and led his troops to continue to advance.

After the Cuiyun Corridor, there is a small town four or five miles ahead, which is called Hanyang Town in later generations.

It is prosperous because of the Shu road business luck, and there are many inns, and the guest rooms are mainly Datong shops. Now it has also become a grain transportation station, but when Li Jinyi arrived, the grain had been emptied, and even the residents of the town fled in large numbers.

……

However, it was said that the officers and soldiers, people, and people who fled back from the Cuiyun Corridor spread all kinds of news along the way.

Some people say that the thieves came from Su Xiaodao to kill.

Some people say that the thieves have broken through the Sword Gate.

Some people say that the defenders of Jianmen Pass have surrendered and took the initiative to let the thieves over.

As for the number of thieves, there were 3,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 50,000...... All sorts of nonsense.

From Hanyang Town to Jianzhou City, the actual distance is nearly 30 miles, and there are several military villages along the way. There were not many officers and soldiers stationed there, mainly to delay the enemy army and deliver news, and all of them lit wolf smoke and abandoned the village to escape, they felt that it was safe to hide in Jianzhou City.

More and more soldiers and civilians fled back to Jianzhou City, and panic quickly spread in the city.

Chengdu Fulu is the transit envoy, and Huang Yi, the Sichuan system and shipping envoy, personally led the troops to garrison Jianzhou. As for Jianmen Pass, it was Gao Jingshan who was in charge of the defense, and Huang Deyu, the Taishou of Lizhou, was also there.

The Bashu region is still continuing to recruit troops and collect food, but Huang Yi can't wait, so he goes north with the soldiers who have been recruited. He stuffed 3,500 people at Jianmen Pass, and led 5,000 people to set up a village to guard Jianzhou.

"The envoy, the sword gate has been lost, it is better to retreat to Lutou Pass (Mianzhu Pass)."

The person who spoke was Lu Shizhao, the commander of the Sichuan Forbidden Army.

Sichuan not only has a forbidden army, but also a large number, reaching more than 20,000 at its peak.

Of course, it's all paper numbers.

Decades ago, the imperial court came to clean up, reorganize and dismantle, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the Void Forbidden Army in Sichuan.

Huang Yi said angrily: "Who told you that the Sword Gate has been lost? ”

Lu Shizhao replied: "Many of the routs who fled back said so. Moreover, Gao Jingshan, the commander of the Sword Gate, has an old relationship with the father and son of the Zhu family, so he may lead the troops to follow the thief. ”

"No, the senior deputy is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he will definitely not be a thief." Huang Yi shook his head again and again, in fact, he was also a little worried.

Lu Shizhao said: "Knowing the face and not knowing the heart, the thieves have occupied Lizhou, if they go down to the Jianmen Pass again, there will be a tendency to divide the Bashu Hanzhong." Gao Jingshan surrendered with Jianmen Pass, and he must be reused by the Zhu thief, and it is possible to be appointed as a false appearance. He is a deputy envoy for transport, so he doesn't want to be the prime minister? ”

"Hugh wants to say this kind of thing again, my deputy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, that is a thief and a thief?" Huang Yi reprimanded sharply, "You are good to go back to defend the city, don't let the thieves come in!" ”

Lu Shizhao left in a huff, muttering something in his mouth.

The more Huang Yi thought about it, the more scared he became, what if Gao Jingshan really switched on and turned it off?

Gao Jingshan has a friendship with the Zhu family's father and son, and it is not suitable to lead troops to defend the Sword Gate. But there are so many officials in Sichuan, none of them dare to go to Jianmen Pass, and even Huang Yi himself doesn't dare, so he can only push Gao Jingshan, who is the most courageous, up.

Huang Yi began to struggle, should he defend or retreat?

If the Sword Gate is lost, it is useless to defend Jianzhou, it is better to retreat to Lutou Pass.

But what if the Sword Gate is still there, wouldn't it be better to leave the friendly army and run away by yourself?

……

Jianzhou City was built at the confluence of two rivers, facing the river on one side and backing the mountains on three sides, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the northwest of the state city, the two mountains are towering across the river, and Huang Yi each set up a walled fort. The mountains and rivers are steep, and they are connected with the state city as a whole, forming a three-dimensional defense system.

If you can't win the surprise attack, let alone capture the city, the 5,000 righteous army will have to explain it all here if you don't pay attention to it.

But when Li Jinyi's 1,000 pioneers arrived, they hadn't done anything, and those officers and soldiers on the northern hills actually abandoned the village and fled, scrambling to cross the river and flee to the state capital.

Li Jinyi looked stupid, he had never seen someone so afraid of death!

He took advantage of the situation to seize the empty village on the mountain, and then waited for the main force to arrive.

Two days later, Shi Yuangong and Deng Chun arrived with their troops. Fortunately, hundreds of stone rations were captured halfway through, otherwise they would have run out of military rations.

Moreover, the soldiers did not have time to take away the food of this military village......

When the food is sufficient, there is no need to attack other places immediately, and you can accompany the officers and soldiers in Jianzhou to play.

"There are a large number of officers and soldiers in Jianzhou, and they can't be easily attacked." Li Jinyi said.

Deng Chun has been here before, of course he knows that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack: "You can try to feint, most of the soldiers of our army have rattan armor, pretend to be defeated and jump into the river, and the rattan armor can float." The officers and men must have thought that our army was defeated and might go out of the city to pursue. Let the soldiers who do not have rattan armor go downstream to cross the river in advance and ambush them, and take the chasing officers and soldiers by surprise! I really couldn't fight it, so I went to the west to capture Yinping County. ”

Two months ago, Deng Chun would never dare to use this kind of strategy, because the feint was very likely to turn into a rout.

However, the rebel army, which has won successive battles, not only has high morale of the whole army, but also has a sense of psychological superiority in the face of officers and soldiers. As long as it is made clear to each soldier in advance, it is very likely that the feint will succeed in luring the enemy.

Li Jinyi suddenly said: "I led the troops all the way over, and all the officers and soldiers along the way fled. Even the current military village was taken without spending a single soldier. ”

Shi Yuangong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shook his feather fan and said, "The morale of the officers and soldiers is so low, but it can be frightened. In the mountains, there are many banners in the military village, and the grass people wear armor as soldiers, so that the people beat drums and make noise every day in the village. The soldiers went down the mountain at night and left, and then swaggered into the mountain during the day! ”

Deng Chun and Li Jinyi were overwhelmed by their admiration when they heard this, and they praised one after another: "Mr. Shi is really smart enough to come up with such a clever plan!" ”

The premise of the intimidation strategy is that the morale of the officers and men is not high, and they have long been frightened.

On the same day, the soldiers of Jianzhou on the other side of the river thought that the righteous army was going to cross the river to attack, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly dispatched troops to defend.

But the righteous soldiers and civilians planted straw men in the village, and the soldiers went to sleep one after another.

When it was dark, 4,000 soldiers went down the mountain in the dark, leaving 1,000 soldiers and people to defend in the village.

After walking for a few miles, turning a mountain col, the rebel soldiers stopped to rest. In the middle of the morning, they swaggered back, and under the watchful eyes of the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river, they returned to the military village on the mountain in a neat formation.

For several days in a row, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes in the evening.

The defenders in Jianzhou City became more and more frightened, because the thief army on the opposite mountain had "increased" to twenty or thirty thousand people!

Lu Shizhao, the commander of the forbidden army, was frightened, and ran to Huang Yi to beg: "Envoy, withdraw the army quickly, the sword gate is definitely gone, and Gao Jingshan has surrendered to the thieves!" ”

Huang Yi stood at the head of the city, stupidly looking at the mountains on the opposite bank.

He was already suspicious, and at this moment, Lu Shizhao was instigating him again, and Huang Yi was basically sure that the defenders of Jianmen had surrendered.

"Withdraw the troops and retreat to Lutou Pass (Mianzhu Pass)!" Huang Xuan finally made a decision.

Shi Yuangong's unreliable trick can really succeed, it's just outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous!

Gao Jingshan and Huang Deyu are still sticking to Jianmen Pass, how could they have thought that the rear coach had slipped away?
