For example, there are three major wars today, and there are three battlefields, namely Jiangnan, Northeast, and Northwest, which correspond to the three major feudal kings in the so-called "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories", Xiao Jin, King of Wei, Lin Han, King of Zhenbei, and Mutang, King of Liao.

Only in terms of the intensity of the war, there is no doubt that the Jiangnan battlefield is the most, followed by the northwest battlefield, if the Jiangnan battlefield is the peak of the naval army and various offensive and defensive weapons, then the northwest battlefield is the peak of the cavalry battle, the Tiefutu built later as early as the five kings of the rebellion of the year, has been proved to be the paper tiger and the flower frame of the time passing, the peace is long, the combat power is relaxed, and then the invincible combat power of the attack on the Great Chu Shu is no longer the invincible combat power of the year, so the two strongest cavalry armies in the world are the northwest left army of the Great Qi and the king tent cavalry of the grassland, at this time the two cavalry armies are fighting, which can be called the peak of simple manpower。

If it is said that at other times, with the national strength of Daqi and the operation of the Northwest Left Army in the northwest for many years, it is not difficult to block the grassland offensive, and even as Wei Wuji and Zhang Wuxian said, it is not impossible for the Northwest Army to counterattack the grassland.

But now it is different, because of the pressure of the King of Wei, the King of Mu and the Daomen, the Great Qi court had to focus on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Northwest Left Army could only fight alone.

Now the morale of the Left Army in the Northwest is still there, but the whole army is extremely tired after repeated hard battles, and has to temporarily retreat to Liangzhou to rest and wait for the next big war.

Although the war was slightly unfavorable, the atmosphere of the entire Chinese army's tent was quite peaceful, and there was not much pessimism, after all, it was not a day or two for the Northwest Left Army and the Grassland Cavalry to be neighbors, let alone the first time they had dealt with each other, and even decades ago, the two sides had fought side by side, both sides knew the roots, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, and they would not be defeated in a hundred battles, and it was difficult for the Northwest Army to have a major defeat like the Jiangnan Army, which was destined to be a protracted war.

Since ancient times, Wusheling has been famous for its steep mountains and dangerous terrain, and it is also the gateway and throat of the Xiliang Corridor, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. During the Great Chu Dynasty, the city wall and beacon were built in Wusheling Mountain, and Anmen and Anyuan lived in Lingnan and Lingbei respectively, relying on the city wall and beacon to rely on each other. If you take Liangzhou, you must first take the Xiliang Corridor, if you take the Xiliang Corridor, you must first take Wusheling, and if you take Wusheling, you must first take Anmen and Anyuan two forts.

From the two forts to the first line of Dunhuang, it is destined to be the next major battlefield of the two sides.

At that time, Xu Lin was here because of the two wars and became famous, first in the period of the Great Zheng Shenzong, with Dunhuang to defend the city, the defeat and the grassland departments colluded with each other and invaded the south together with the famous general Hu Yan Zhuo, through this war to become the governor of the capital.

More than ten years later, Xu Lin, who had changed his course, once again led his troops to the city, but this time it was no longer to defend the city, but to attack the city. At that time, there were still 100,000 defenders in Dunhuang City, but they were blocked in the city by Xu Lin's 80,000 horses, and they did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, but they just defended it to the death.

At the same time, this is also the first battle of Wei Ban, because the Xiliang Corridor has been conquered, Wei Ban was able to run overnight to attack Yumen Pass and personally supervise the battle, the subordinate captains were personally trapped, the battle was extremely fierce, fierce battle until the early morning of the next day, Wei Ban killed and wounded more than 2,000 people, ordered to rest, at noon again to attack the city, Wei Ban's henchmen personally led the team to attack the head of the Yumen Pass, and died in battle. Wei Ban led the team to stand in the middle of the army, indifferent. Fierce battle until the evening, Wei Ban's lieutenants have all been killed, Wei Ban ordered the drum to help, when the rumbling drum sounded, the future second governor of the Great Qi personally led the team to attack the city, after Wei Ban personally fell into battle, the morale of the soldiers who were already exhausted was greatly boosted, and they actually attacked the head of the Yumen Pass in one go, Wei Ban was covered in blood, a knife wound no less than 12 places, and Wei Ban's guards were all killed.

An hour later, the Wei forbidden army captured Yumen Pass.

This battle is the first time that the two successive governors of Daqi have joined forces to fight, just like the replacement of the old and the new with the will of heaven in the dark, but now both of them are no longer in the world, and things are not human.

Zhang Wuzhi climbed to the head of Anmen Fort, looking at the Xiulong grassland across the river in the distance, there was still a very biting chill outside the plug in late spring, and the wind blowing from the grassland was blowing in his face, as if it was a sharp blade, to cut the mouth on the face.

If Xu Beiyou is the pillar that supports the southeast half of the wall, then Zhang Wuxian is a pillar of the northwest sky, at this time, just looking at this slightly curved back, it seems to be able to feel the weight on his shoulders.

Zhang Wuxi was silent for a long time, then rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks with his hands, and said slowly: "It's time for a decisive battle on the Jiangnan side, and before there is a result over there, our side must continue to maintain the offensive momentum with the grassland, and there must be no half-point difference." ”

All the military attachés remained silent, but each had varying degrees of surprise on their faces.

The reason for the silence is that it was something that had been expected for a long time. I was surprised because the day came earlier than expected.

Zhang Wuxian retracted his gaze and straightened his back again, still the handful of martial arts masters.

Zhang Wuxian said slowly: "Now the situation in Jiangnan, since the battle of Dongting Lake, Yu Kuang's Jiangnan army has been completely disabled, and can only shrink in the two Xiangqiang fortress to defend the city, although the imperial court is from Zhao Wouji to transfer 100,000 troops to Jiangnan, but far water can not quench the thirst, before that, it depends on whether Yu Kuang can hold on until the 100,000 army arrives in Huzhou." ”

"If Yu Kuang can hold on, there are 100,000 Chinese troops in Jiangbei, as well as the front army in Shuzhou, plus the Jiangnan rear army of Liangxiang, the day of the defeat of the King of Wei in Jiangnan is not far away, as long as the war in Jiangnan is over, the front army of Shuzhou can rush to the northwest, and we can start a decisive battle with the grassland, and the final word. ”

"But if we can't hold it and the two sides fall, so that the later reinforcements fall into the quagmire of the south of the Yangtze River, then we will completely become a lone army, and we can only switch from attack to defense and sit and wait for death. ”

All the military attachés were silent, their faces solemn.

Zhang Wuxian suddenly smiled, "Of course, it's not just these two roads, we can still make a desperate bet, abandon Zhongdu, abandon Shaanzhou and Liangzhou, and 200,000 iron horsemen rush to the Central Plains to join the Chinese army in Jiangbei, so that we can still keep half of the country, but in this way, Shuzhou and Jiangnan will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the grassland, and the southeast half of the wall will no longer be lucky." ”

Zhang Wuxian turned to look at these subordinates in robes, and said calmly: "I don't want that day. ”
