Chapter 60, Yang Luhai and An Shan's death
"I'll give you thirty percent, and you go and settle them. Shen Yueting held up three fingers.
"It's not a matter of money, the City Lord's Mansion can't ......"
"Lord Han!" Shen Yueting raised his voice to interrupt the City Lord Han: "This is not what I meant, this is what Lord Commander meant, now that Lord Commander's military aircraft are busy, do you also want Lord Commander to take the time to talk to you personally?"
"Lord Commander......" City Lord Han knew that Shen Yueting was just using Lord Commander to suppress himself, but in case one of the ten thousand, Lord Commander really came, then it would be difficult to say that he was the city lord.
I heard that this Commander Shen and the Commander are from the same force, but without those important members of the City Lord's Mansion, I am afraid that the position of the City Lord will be pure and dead......
Lord Han froze in place and did not speak for a long time.
"Lord Shen, how many children of my dignitaries can have, it is estimated that they can be counted on one hand, and please open the net." The Han City Lord smiled and said.
"There are not many people, but we can't set this precedent, and when the time comes, the morale of the army will be discouraged. Shen Yueting shook his head: "Lord Han, you will bear this responsibility?"
"I ......" City Lord Han froze in place again, knowing in his heart that this person himself was going to go back or not, so he could only find a way among the group of important members of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the end, the lord of Han City gritted his teeth, turned around and left the barracks, the big deal is that Lao Tzu laid off all those important people and replaced them with new people, I saw who cried dad and called my mother to beg me!
"If the Lord of Han City doesn't send it, someone will send it when the time comes. Shen Yueting shouted from behind, almost knocking the Han City Lord down in a slump.
"Thank you, Lord Shen. Han City Lord flicked his sleeves, turned around and left angrily.
In the next few days, the recruitment of troops went smoothly, and there were no more obstacles, and Shen Yueting also successfully recruited enough troops and brought them back to Yunzhou.
Lin Zheng also waited for a long time, and was overjoyed to see Shen Yueting bring people back, so he immediately asked Yan Liang to count the number of people and join the team, and heard Shen Yueting talk about the Han City Lord, so he ordered someone to prepare silver taels to send to him.
"Great training!" Lin Zheng ordered, every ten people formed a team, each team was composed of different arms, relying on the combination of different arms to face a variety of enemies.
Time flickered for three months, and for three months, Lin Zheng watched from the high platform of the training ground every day, until the speed of each soldier's knife was fast enough, and every movement was neat enough, Lin Zheng understood that it was the time.
This army of 300,000 people is enough to turn into a sharp sword to pierce the throat of the Chu State.
At night, in Lin Zheng's big tent, three generals and their cronies stood in front of Lin Zheng's table, and Shen Yueting was also among them.
"It's time. Lin Zheng stood up and looked at the map of Chu in front of him.
"Every day we send troops to the Chu State. Lin Zheng pointed to the first pass of the Chu defense line: "This first pass is Hengshan Pass, there are three passes in this pass, we only need to break through two of them, and then the third pass will be self-defeating." ”
"Although Hengshan Pass is garrisoned by high walls, the terrain is flat, and according to intelligence, each of the three passes of Hengshan Pass has 50,000 garrisons, even if there are a large number of archers, it will never be able to defeat our 100,000 heavy cavalry, so I suggest that the direct army press the situation and capture Hengshan Pass to boost the morale of the army!" Li Zhengzhi stood in the crowd and planted a small flag with the word Zhou written on Hengshan Pass.
"I don't think it's right. Qian Weimin interrupted Li Zhengzhi's speech: "Hengshan Pass is not a pass without dead ends, it is not that you can't use strong attack tactics here, but if you lose too much in the first battle, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable, and it will make your subordinates feel that we regard their lives as if they were grass." ”
"You all have a point. Lin Zheng coughed lightly: "But in this first battle, we must fight quickly and beautifully, so that the other party will have pressure from the bottom of our hearts, so that we can continue to march in the future." ”
Lin Zheng knew in his heart that if he was too anxious and caused too many losses to his soldiers, coupled with his identity as a Heavenly Master Pavilion, it would be easy to cause a mutiny, but he couldn't wait.
For example, although the Shige is in the territory of the White Emperor City today, it is not protected by the White Emperor City, if Wudang Mountain recovers its vitality, it will not be unfavorable to the Heavenly Master Pavilion, and he must speed up.
"The subordinates also think that it is necessary for us to quickly capture Hengshan Pass, or even take a few more cities, so that the other party will feel that when we are ready to attack all the way, they will definitely gather their forces to hold the city, and then we will besiege the city and cut off their supplies, so that we can fight to the second pass of Chu without losing a single soldier. Shen Yueting stood beside Lin Zheng and agreed.
Even Qian Weimin, who was originally opposed, nodded unconsciously after hearing this.
Lin Zheng nodded, Shen Yueting's thoughts coincided with his own, and he also helped himself, maybe what Shen Yueting needed was really just time to grow.
"In this case, tomorrow we will cross the plain and capture Hengshan Pass. Lin Zheng ordered, and the rest of the commanders all nodded yes.
"Let's go back, let's have a good rest today, and then we will be busy. Lin Zheng waved his hand: "Yan Liang and Shen Yueting leave the rest of the people to go." ”
"Yes. The generals nodded, turned and walked out of the tent.
"Yes, a lot of progress. Lin Zheng laughed and patted Shen Yueting's shoulder: "In a short period of time, you have drawn inferences from your mistakes, and now you can think so long-term, it is not in vain for Yan Liang to intercede for you." ”
"Thank you for your kindness. Shen Yueting clenched his fists and bowed, Shen Yueting knew how serious a mistake he had made, and the pavilion master was already extremely generous to be able to reuse himself regardless of his previous suspicions.
"If you want to thank you, thank your master, this opportunity was asked for by your master. Lin Zheng waved his hand, Shen Yueting couldn't stand it.
"Thank you, master. Shen Yueting bowed deeply to Yan Liang, who rarely smiled.
Seeing Shen Yueting bowing to him, Yan Liang restrained his smile: "You have to continue to work hard yourself." ”
"Shen Yueting must redouble his efforts and never let down the opportunity that the pavilion master gave me. Shen Yueting said yes with a smile.
"Alright, go back and rest, there is still a long way to go tomorrow. Lin Zheng asked the two of them to go back to rest, the army is different from in the Heavenly Master Pavilion, there are carriages for people to rest, and there are only horses to ride in the army, which is very tiring.
Shen Yueting and Yan Liang both walked out of the big tent.
Lin Zheng looked at the Hengshan Pass, which was planted with the banner of the Zhou Dynasty on the reduced map in front of him, and kept guessing in his heart how the other party would resist his attack.
Early in the morning of the second day, a round of red sun had just risen from the sky, revealing only an arc-shaped curve, and Lin Zheng had already commanded the army to put away the supplies and prepare to set off.
Soon, in the direction of the camp on Lin Zheng's right, three armies joined forces with him, merging into an army of 300,000 people.
Among them, there were 100,000 heavy cavalry, 50,000 light cavalry, 50,000 archers, and 100,000 infantry.
"March!" Lin Zheng ordered the 300,000 troops to form a square formation and march towards the plain.
Shen Yueting took care of the supplies, grain and grass at the end of the army, and there were still a few big guys among them, and the results of the siege all depended on these big guys.
Yan Liang was in front of the army to protect Lin Zheng, and Qian Weimin and Li Zhengzhi were dispatched at any time on both flanks of the army, and everything was in order.
The 300,000-strong army migrated, and when marching, it was like shaking the mountains, especially the heavy cavalry at the front, each step had to leave deep dents on the ground, fortunately walking on the plain, otherwise walking on the top of the mountain would definitely cause a landslide.
After seven days of marching, everyone finally came to Hengshan Pass.
As far as the eye can see, a 30-meter-high city wall rises up on the flat ground, connecting the two mountain ranges like a big mountain Chen Heng, from which the name of Hengshan Pass comes from.
Lin Zheng stopped at a distance of two thousand meters from Hengshan Pass, and the soldiers of the seven-day march were a little tired, and they had to rest before they could fight with all their might, otherwise it would only further aggravate the losses.
At the Hengshan Pass, a middle-aged general wearing a heavy bow with his eyes slightly narrowed and his eyebrows raised, looking at Lin Zheng from a distance of two thousand meters. Lin Zheng seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at him two kilometers away.
"That person seems to be the commander of Hengshan Pass, and the arrow god died peacefully. Li Zhengzheng commanded the generals to set up camp, but when he turned around, he saw Lin Zhengzheng looking at the enemy, so he spoke.
"God of arrows, die in peace. Lin Zheng nodded, the other party's eyes were sharp, and he could see himself clearly from two kilometers away, and it seemed that he was indeed a powerful person.
On the side of Hengshan Pass, An Shanzhong retracted his gaze and commanded his generals: "It seems that the other party will not attack for the time being, everyone hurry up and train, we must practice bow and arrow shooting, and the fate of Chu is in our hands!"
An Shan finally turned around and shouted, what was surprising was that the training ground of Hengshan Pass was actually under the city wall, and the 100,000 archers below were constantly pulling the bowstrings in their hands, and the coherence of the movements was amazing.
"Not fast enough, not fast enough, I have to do it!" An Shan finally said as he took off the heavy bow, and as the first arrow was fired, his movements left a series of afterimages in the air, and then seven feathered arrows flew out in succession after one closely following.
You must know that An Shanzhong is holding a heavy bow in his hand, this kind of heavy bow requires two people to fix the bow body, one person pulls the bowstring, and the strength of three people can shoot the arrow, but An Shanzhong shoots the arrow easily with his own strength, and even shoots seven arrows in a row with accurate arrows.
Seeing this, the soldiers below plucked the bowstring in their hands even harder, and it was a great improvement to be able to speed up by one second.
"Someone, spread Yang Luhai!" An Shanzhong shouted, and soon someone invited a man in Tsing Yi.
"Yang Luhai, how is your crossbow developed! People are in the face, can you use it in the end!" An Shanzhong shouted, if that repeater can be successfully developed, even if the other party wants to break through this Hengshan Pass, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses.
The man in Tsing Yi who called Yang Luhai patted the sawdust on his body and said helplessly: "This plan has only been proposed for a few days, ten days, half a month, and only five days! I will give you something to develop! And the two carpenters you are not carpenters at all, clumsy, if you fool me again, I won't do it! Hurry up and recruit two real carpenters for me!"
"This is Hengshan Pass! Where can I find you a carpenter in the heavy land of the fucking military plane! Make do with it, those are all our talents!" An Shan didn't expect Yang Luhai to come and give himself a training first, and he was also stupid.
