Da Wei Chun

Chapter 703 Flat Push ([-])

Chencangguan has two cities, one in the south of the Wei River, and about thirty miles east of Longshan Mountain.One is twenty miles north of the Weishui River, but it is close to Longshan Mountain.

The main reason for this is that in the battle of Chencang in Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms, most of the army came from Shu to Chencang via the Qinling Road. If the defenders were caught off guard, they could retreat to the north of the Wei River and defend by the river.

However, Cui Yanbo did the opposite, only guarding the northern city, and sent most of the heavy troops to Longguan and Longshan.

It is only because it is impossible for Li Chengzhi to go around to the south of the Qinling Mountains and send troops from Shu, so there is no need to waste troops.The second is that in the Longshan Mountains on the left side of Beicheng, there are several small roads, although they cannot be used by cars, they can be used by horses.Cui Yanbo was afraid that Xihai would send infantry to cross Longshan with mules and horses carrying firearms, so he sent heavy troops here.

But I never thought that the West Sea would flow down the Weihe River?

First, the terrain of the section of the Weishui River that passes through the Longshan Mountains is extremely complex. Although there are no high cliffs and waterfalls, the terrain is steep and the water flow is turbulent.

On the other hand, if it is a small boat, it is weak and weak, and it is impossible to hold the scull steadily. Whenever it goes into the water, nine times out of ten, the boat will hit the reef and the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

Even the people who have lived in the western section of the Weishui River for generations rarely see people driving boats into the water, which is why.

Cui Yanbo never thought that Li Chengzhi would call from Weishui.Yu Chencang only left [-] soldiers and horses, just in case, in case Nanliang took advantage of the fire to loot, and protruded surprise soldiers from Chencang Road.

But he doubted Cui Guang even more, was he cheating on him?

But Li Chengzhi has a lot of strange things. He can even make things like artillery and explosives. It is not impossible to build a small boat that can transport troops in a narrow river without being swept by the rapids and cannot steer the rudder.

And Cui Yanbo was even more shocked by what Cui Guang said before: Li Chengzhi wants to burn the mountain!

The water in Cui Guang's mouth can't be extinguished, what kind of phosphorus bullet can burn through iron armor? Cui Yan has never seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard a lot of similar things.

Five years ago, when Li Chengzhi led the army for the first time to fight against the rebels in Nanliang and Tuyuhun, he used thunder and fire oil to defeat the rebels. The [-] southern troops were completely defeated, and the famous general Changyi of Nanliang was defeated. The smashing of the halberd and the sinking of the sand made Li Chengzhi famous all over the world.

The name of fierce fire oil never went away, which made the court flock to it, but couldn't get it.

Three years ago, the Gao family rebelled and occupied five prefectures and six towns. Because of this, they rejected a generation of famous generals Xi Kangsheng and Xing Luan from Jinming City, but there was nothing they could do.

If he hadn't been intimidated by Li Chengzhi's prestige, fearing that the clam and the crane would fight each other, which would eventually benefit the fisherman, Gao Zhao would have ended up with a full family of copycats and no heirs, how could Gao Zhao have surrendered without a fight?

Not to mention one year, even three to five years, and don't want to pacify Beidi and the six towns.

Afterwards, Yuan Yao and Xi Kangsheng wanted to rely on this thing to resist strong enemies from outside Langshan.It wasn't until then that Cui Yanbo finally got a glimpse of it, and saw what the legendary fire oil is.

If it is said that the water can not be extinguished, it is indeed so much.But to say that it can burn through iron armor without destroying anything is a bit of an exaggeration.

Naturally, the armor cannot be burned through. When the fire oil is burned out, the iron is still iron, and it has not been damaged at all.And just a handful of sand can make the fire that is extinguished impossible to extinguish.

However, Liu Fang was sent to Xihai last year, but she also said that there is really something in Xihai that burns through iron armor?

Cui Yanbo was skeptical about the experience of kerosene.

But at least he knew that even though he didn't wear armor, it was more than enough to set fire to a mountain with this thing.

Longshan is called a natural danger, and it is only in relative terms.Just like the Qinling Mountains, it's just that you can't walk with a large army or ride a fast horse, but there are many trails and narrow valleys piercing the mountains.

It is not impossible to find one or two mountain people to lead the way, and then order the soldiers to remove their helmets and armor, carry small cannons and flying thunders on their backs, and cross Longshan Mountain with a surprise army.

In addition, there is Longguan in the south and Xiaoguan in the north, both of which are ancient silk roads. If these two passes are conquered, the army will naturally drive straight in.

In this way, Cui Yanbo personally supervised the guarding of Longguan, and sent Chen Chongbing between the mountains to guard the trail.

But now Li Chengzhi is going to set fire to the mountain, how can he not make his hair stand on end?

Most of the mountains are pines and cypresses, which are oily and flammable.And year after year, the mountains were full of dead branches and fallen leaves, and it was too late for Cui Yanbo to withdraw his army even if he really wanted to set fire to it.

It's not that he didn't expect this episode, but he was somewhat lucky: Li Chengzhi cherishes his feathers a lot, and he is full of benevolence and morality. If he is so devoid of conscience, he will definitely be cautious about things that go against the harmony of nature.

But now, the fantasy is like a bubble, bursting cleanly.

I also blame myself, the two armies are fighting against each other, and they will do everything they can.Among the famous generals in ancient times, there are very few who do not slaughter a city, let alone just burn a mountain?

For a hero like Li Chengzhi, there is no burden at all.

After thinking about it again, it is really possible that Cui Guang was compassionate and sympathetic to the world, fearing that the tens of thousands of troops in the mountains would die without a place to bury him, so he temporarily persuaded Li Chengzhi to come here to persuade him to surrender?
Cui Yanbo was startled and terrified, he roared in a low voice: "Quickly, get rid of all the guards in the mountain..."

The subordinates under his command know that this is a big matter, which concerns the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and they are already sweating from fright, and the two are fighting.

But following Cui Yanbo's order, he rushed down to Guancheng like the wind.

The lieutenant-general next to him asked suspiciously again: "Commander, the defenders in the mountain are all withdrawing, and there must be a lot of movement. If the bandits and enemies take this opportunity to cross the mountain, what should we do?"

Cui Yanbo paused suddenly, and gritted his teeth: "Since Li Chengzhi can burn mountains, why can't I, Cui Yanbo, burn them?"

He was exercising fiercely, when he heard several explosions suddenly, Cui Yanbo was startled in horror.

When I looked up, the soldiers under the city stood still.Cui Guangzheng was arguing with the general, and seemed unwilling to leave.But the general was too strong to stand up, so he hugged Cui Guang onto the horse.

No, Li Chengzhi really wants to burn the mountain?
Then searched along the place where the cannon was fired, about three to five miles north of Guanbei, there was billowing thick smoke, and Cui Yanbo was shocked that three souls were born, and six souls ascended to heaven.

"Quick...down the mountain as soon as possible..."

……

How can burning a mountain be so easy?

It's not that it can't be burned, but it's unnecessary.

If the whole Longshan Mountain was really going to be set on fire, how could Longguan and Xiaoguan standing in the valley be spared?
And for such a large mountain, it may take several months for the fire to go out.By then, the day lilies are all cold.

The second is that even if they really set fire to burn these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to death in the mountains, it would undoubtedly be a dream.

It's not a cliff that can only go up but not down, and soldiers can still wait for death?
When the fire broke out, most of them ran down the mountain in all likelihood, and at most they fell to their deaths in panic.

So it was just to intimidate Cui Yanbo and disturb his morale.Regardless of how many cannonballs were fired, only a lonely forest was set ablaze. The soldiers on the mountain were like rabbits whose nests had been dug out. They only hated their parents for losing two legs.

Such a magnificent scene, how could the defenders who closed the gate not see it?

In addition, the sound of cannons in the mountains was loud, and nine times out of ten they would mistakenly think that the enemy had already attacked Longshan, so the defenders in the mountains were defeated.

This is not something that Cui Yanbo can live in with just a few words, and bombarding the city with cannons at that time will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

After watching for a while, Li Chengzhi put down the binoculars and said to himself: "If I were Huangfu, I would attack the city in at most half an hour, so that the enemy army will be in chaos..."

Cui Yanbo had quite a few soldiers, 20 soldiers.But Longshan Mountain is nearly five hundred miles long, how can the narrow valleys be more than a hundred?

Even if only one thousand soldiers are sent to guard one place, the required force is more than one hundred thousand.And guard the two passes of Long and Xiao,

As soon as the words fell, Tang rode a fast horse to report, saying that General Huangfu had ordered the former army to prepare for war, and would bombard Longguan within two minutes at most.

A gentleman sees the same thing, nothing more than that.

Li Chengzhi laughed, and asked casually: "Chen Cang, Xiao Guan, do you have any military reports?"

"Mr. Binglang, not at all!"

Li Cong replied, and then asked, "Should the servant go to the camp to inquire?"

"Don't worry about it!"

Li Chengzhi sternly reprimanded, "It is precisely because there is no urgent report that everything is going well. It won't be long before there will be frequent success reports. Besides, the battle is imminent. Don't let General Huangfu be distracted by other people. Concentrate on the war." Best policy..."

Although Li Chengzhi personally conscripted this time, he gave great autonomy to the coaches from all walks of life.When it was not necessary, Li Chengzhi seldom commented, and let his subordinates do their best.

The so-called jade can't be crafted, even famous generals, and they are also shot with one knife and one gun.

Therefore, when it is time to delegate power, you must be willing to delegate power, otherwise how will your subordinates grow?
If everything is in detail, Li Chengzhi will be exhausted...

"Boom boom boom!"

Hearing three more cannon shots, Li Chengzhi was shocked and hurriedly picked up the binoculars.

This is the drum call for the march, and Huangfurang is about to attack the city.

I don't know what happened to Li Liang from Xiao Guan and Da Xi from Chen Cang...

……

Liu Du was on a mission to the West Sea, and finally talked about loneliness.

It also depends on Li Chengzhi's open mouth, and all the conditions he put forward are for the court's life.No matter how stupid Gao Ying was, she dared not agree.

The name meeting was just a temporary truce, not a real truce.So whether it is Longguan or Xiaoguan, both sides are ready to fight.

In addition, Li Feng sent his troops to the south, almost conquering Gaoping Town, one of the Ping Fans in Guanzhong.

Because of this, Cui Yanbo and Yuan Yao thought it was normal for Xihai to transport grain, grass, armor, equipment, etc. to Qingshui and Yuezhi (belonging to Longxi, east of Xiaoguan, present-day Longde County, Gansu).

It was also because the West Sea was transporting more to Bugulu and Gaoque Pass that the imperial court was not alerted.

In addition, the imperial court was busy trying to undo the chaos anyway, forcing the Queen Mother to abdicate.Afterwards, he was busy negotiating peace with Rouran and Tuyuhun, luring the two Hus to attack the West Sea, so that all the secret works lurking in the West Sea were cut off, and he didn't care about it.

So the news is blocked, how can we know that Li Chengzhi is resolute and ready to strike first?
The soldiers are still those soldiers, the generals are still those generals, and Xihai has not seen any increase of troops in these two places.In addition, Xing Luan and Li Feng to the north are like glue, which not only diverts Cui Yanbo's attention, but also makes Yuan Yao and Xi Kangsheng slack.

I just thought that there was a natural danger in Longshan Mountain, Guanzhong was not easy to eat, and Xi Haiyu would not commit another crime in a short time.

What's more, Erhu has already dispatched troops, although it is not as powerful as last year, but fortunately, it has learned a lesson, Rouran and Tuyuhun have learned a lesson, riding lightly and fast, they are invincible , it must be that Xihai is exhausted.

In this way, Guanzhong is safe for the time being, and at least two to three years can be rested and recuperated.

But who would have thought that the more improbable things would happen?
Li Chengzhi not only fought back blatantly, but also acted like crazy. Wherever the bones are the hardest, where will he slap his mouth?

Cui Yanbo was stunned when Qingshui and Yuezhi counties suddenly dispatched troops to attack Xiaoguan and Longguan...
