Great Military Division

Chapter 433 The Battle of Wuguan!

Wu Guan Road.

Somewhere in the jungle.

Liu Xie was sitting on a rock with his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what to think.

Beside him was Grand Tutor Yuan Kai, also frowning, lost in thought.

After a long time, there was a rustling sound in the dense forest.

Yuan Kai opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

but see
A man sprang out from the dense forest, with a worried expression, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Taifu, the news came from the direction of Gaoguan, that King Hongnong is leading an army and is approaching in the direction of Wuguan."

"It really came."

There was no shock on Yuan Kai's face, but very calm.

He pinched the goatee under his jaw and sighed: "It seems that Fan Chou, Duan Yao, and Shi Sunrui failed to confuse King Hongnong. He must have realized that Chang'an is already an empty city, so he wanted to go straight to Wu Close the road."

"That's it."

Liu Xie took a deep breath and kept as calm as possible: "What should we do next?"

Yuan Kui had already expected such a result, so he had already made a decision: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since King Hongnong has fallen for it before, then we will launch an attack on Wuguan as quickly as possible."

"I have already inquired. The guard of Wuguan is a nameless rat named Huo Du, and there are only a few hundred soldiers under his command. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Your Majesty, don't forget."

Yuan Kai turned his head and glanced at Liu Xie, with a murderous look in his eyes: "We already have a team of soldiers and horses that have entered the territory of Nanyang. As long as we start a war here, Nanyang will take action immediately."

"Under the front and rear attacks, how can Wuguan last long? Maybe it won't be long before His Majesty can enter Nanyang and take Nanyang with lightning speed!"

When they attacked Yaoguan before, they attacked from front to back. Although Shi Sun Rui was killed by Fuhuo Thunderbolt in a very embarrassing situation, as long as they attracted the firepower, the soldiers and horses in the pass could succeed.

Now, it was just transferred from Gaoguan to Wuguan. Such a tactic must be realized. After all, it was not just nameless rats stationed in Wuguan, and more importantly, it was the absolute elite of the imperial court who attacked the city.

The strength of the enemy army decreases, while your own strength increases.

Then, the winning rate of this battle can be greatly improved by itself.

Liu Xie didn't doubt this at all, and even nodded affirmatively: "As long as we can take Wuguan, with our elites, we can take advantage of the situation and take Nanyang, it's a piece of cake."

"Teacher." Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at Yuan Kai.

"Yes." Yuan Kui bowed.

"Let's go."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie stood up suddenly, turned his head and glanced in the direction of Wuguan, and took a long breath: "We can't waste any more time, my brother is not so easy to defeat."

Yuan Kai nodded and said loudly, "Here, rest assured, Your Majesty, we will surely win this battle."

Liu Xie gave a very confident grace: "Of course I believe in you, let's go, don't waste time."

Yuan Kui cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

The two left the dense forest and continued on their way towards Wuguan.

Three days later, he finally arrived at Wuguan. Looking ahead, he could vaguely see the head of Wuguan city, the flying flag, and the majestic gate tower in the middle.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

The excitement on Yuan Kai's face could not be concealed, and he lowered his voice and said: "From the information sent back yesterday, people are still entering the Wuguan direction continuously, and the city gate has not been blocked. It seems that the information from King Hongnong has not yet arrived. .”

"kindness."

Liu Xie nodded slowly and breathed a sigh of relief: "According to the plan, if we can enter Wuguan, we will act directly and forcibly occupy the city gate to prevent the enemy from behind."

"Remember!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie reminded in a low voice: "We need to catch some people and try to learn how to use Fuhuo Leiting. Let's let my emperor brother taste the taste of Fuhuo Leiting."

Although the words are plain, but in fact, Liu Xie is imagining in his heart, if Liu Bian can be killed by Fuhuo Leiting, it would be great, this world belongs to me, Liu Xie, and ZTE will be here soon.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one country cannot accommodate two masters!
There is and can only be one emperor in the Great Han Dynasty. This is what Liu Xie has already clearly understood. He did not become the emperor before, but now that he has become the emperor, he must be the end.

As for Brother Huang?

Ha ha!

When he was brought up by Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie clearly understood that the royal family has no family affection at all. What kind of bullshit emperor brother, when the father is present, he is the emperor brother, and when the father is not, he is the enemy.

Your mortal enemy! ! !
If Liu Bian is lucky enough to kill Liu Bian this time, then Liu Xie is [-]% sure that he can inherit the inheritance of the emperor's brother, and even Yuan Kai will have to step aside for us at that time.

Yuan Kui bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the arrangements have been made properly. If you really enter Wuguan, you will catch a living as soon as possible and seize Fuhuo Leiting's warehouse."

"very good."

At this moment, Liu Xie is already a little bit excited.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure hurriedly rushed forward.

Liu Xie regarded it as Shang Shuling Yuan Ji.

but see
His brows were slightly frowned, and his expression was a little nervous, as if something bad had happened.

Therefore, before Yuan Ji could speak, he was interrupted by Liu Xie waving his hand: "Yuan Shangshu, what happened and you are so anxious?"

Only then did Yuan Ji bow to each other, and replied: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor, just now the information was sent back from the direction of Wuguan Road. Huo Du, the guard of Wuguan Road, has sealed the city gate and temporarily prohibited the people from entering."

"Oh?"

Liu Xie couldn't help being taken aback, his eyes filled with astonishment: "Forbidden?"

Yuan Ji said with absolute certainty: "Well, it's forbidden."

"It wasn't banned yesterday, but it's banned today. Could it be too much of a coincidence?"

"It's indeed a coincidence, but maybe it's the news from King Hongnong."

"Damn!"

In an instant, Liu Xie's dream of entering Wuguan safely was shattered: "Isn't it a coincidence that this information came? It didn't arrive early, and it didn't arrive late, but it just arrived when we arrived at Wuguan."

snort!

snort!

Liu Xie was so angry that he took a deep breath and looked at Yuan Kai with a frown: "Teacher, it seems that we can only follow the previous plan and cooperate with the troops in the pass to attack Wuguan."

Yuan Kai pinched the goatee under his jaw, frowned, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this matter may not be as simple as imagined, and the old minister thinks it may not be a coincidence."

"Oh?"

Liu Xie was stunned, not knowing why: "What does Tai Tuo mean?"

Yuan Kui did not answer directly, but turned to Yuan Ji: "Quickly find out how far King Hongnong is from us."

Yuan Ji bowed: "Here."

Immediately.

Turning around and leaving, he ordered the scouts to investigate quickly.

Liu Xie tentatively asked: "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Yuan Kai sighed and turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, judging by the scout's footsteps, when King Hongnong returned to Wuguan Road, the calculations began, and the city gate should have been closed long ago, wasn't it?"

"Ah, this"

Liu Xie frowned, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Yuan Kui squeezed a goatee under his jaw: "If King Hongnong returns to Wuguan Road from Chang'an, it proves that he has seen through our strategy, but Wuguan has not been blocked for a long time, which proves that he saw through the strategy relatively late."

"Your Majesty, don't you think there is a contradiction between the two?"

"It's really contradictory."

Liu Xie thought about it carefully, nodded slowly and said: "Is there not a possibility, at first the brother of the emperor just suspected, there is no conclusive evidence, and now he just got accurate information?"

"It is indeed possible."

"but."

Turning the subject, Yuan Kai directly denied: "What's the situation now? We're going to kill Nanyang, and the doves will occupy the magpie's nest. If King Hongnong already has suspicions, he will definitely not wait until the evidence is conclusive before ordering."

"Yes."

Liu Xie nodded.

Thinking in another way, if you were the emperor brother Liu Bian, you would also act as soon as possible instead of waiting for conclusive evidence. After all, if Nanyang was at risk, no matter how well he played in Chang'an, it would be useless.

However.
However, Liu Bian did not immediately order Wuguan to be closed, and just in time for him to arrive at Wuguan, he closed Wuguan. There was indeed a taste of conspiracy in it.

hiss-!
Liu Xie took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Teacher, then what do you mean by saying that Brother Huang is doing this?"

Yuan Kai pinched a strand of beard under his chin, thought for a moment, and said softly: "I don't know yet, and I can't really draw a conclusion until the information comes back."

"but."

Speaking of this, Yuan Kai's eyes showed a sinister look: "King Hongnong's move must have important significance, and it is by no means as simple as we imagined."

"Besides, since he returned from Gao Pass, it must be the cavalry who opened the way and charged quickly. But after such a long time, there is no news from our rear, which has proved that the other party is not in a hurry at all."

Liu Xie was a little confused, but felt it made sense: "Then why?"

Yuan Kai breathed out, and said softly: "According to the old minister's guess, the fundamental reason why King Hongnong dared to slow down was because he was fully prepared in the direction of Wuguan, and he could take his time and come slowly. "

"After all, there are cliffs on both sides of Wuguan Road. Apart from Wuguan and Gaoguan, there is no third way to go. King Hongnong has already controlled Gaoguan. If we control Wuguan again, we can only wait for death .”

Liu Xie was surprised and dumbfounded.

Have to admit.

Yuan Kui's analysis is very reasonable.

If he is the emperor brother, he will definitely do the same.

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long sound of announcement from behind.

Liu Xie and Yuan Kai turned their heads and looked around.

but see
My own scout hurried forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor, something is wrong, the people behind us all suddenly disappeared."

"what?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment: "The common people have disappeared?"

The scout nodded: "That's right, they are all gone. They are not moving forward, they seem to be walking backward."

"later?"

When Yuan Kai heard the words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "I understand, I understand everything. King Hongnong did this because he was afraid that we would threaten the common people, so he slowed down."

"The opponent must have officers and soldiers mixed in the team, and then take advantage of our concentration of soldiers and horses to quickly transport the people out of Wuguan and the rear of King Hongnong, so as to provide a battlefield for the next battle."

After entering the Wuguan Road, Yuan Kui had to concentrate his scattered forces in one area for the next battle, and even stayed away from the ranks of ordinary people in order not to be exposed.

And King Hongnong grasped this point, so he sent people to speed up the division of the team. There were people in the front and people in the back, leaving them alone.

Amazing!
It's amazing!
Yuan Kai admired the five-body cast: "No wonder, Wuguan can stop us so accurately. It turns out that they have completely controlled our whereabouts."

"Damn!"

Liu Xie was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.

His IQ felt like being rubbed against the ground by the emperor's brother, and he was both shocked and terrified: "If this is true, then we will surely die? Taifu, what should we do."

Yuan Kai frowned and pondered for a long time: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let the old minister think about it."

Liu Xie'en said: "Okay, Tai Tu thinks about it quickly."

After a long time, Yuan Kai finally said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we should storm Wuguan now, and at the same time send people to guard against King Hongnong to prevent him from raiding the rear of our army."

"According to the current gap between the two sides, I'm afraid it will take at least one day for King Hongnong to reach Wuguan, which proves that we still have a full day to storm Wuguan."

"Although he expected that we would sneak into Wuguan Road, but now Nanyang already has our soldiers and horses. With the cooperation of the two sides, there is still a slight chance of winning."

Liu Xie also thought of this, pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "It seems that there is only one way left now."

Yuan Kai bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "With Your Majesty here, all the soldiers will surely be able to fight to the death."

"it is good."

Liu Xie no longer hesitated, and said sonorously: "Quickly pass on the order, kill Wuguan, launch a strong attack, and strive to break through the city defense of Wuguan and enter Nanyang within one day."

Yuan Kui nodded: "Here."

Immediately, the army took off their camouflage and began to run towards Wuguan.

In just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the city of Wuguan.

At this moment, Liu Xie was standing on the carriage, wearing a crown, holding a sword, pointing angrily at the top of the city, and ordered sonorously: "Brothers, this battle is a battle of life and death."

"Win, live;"

"If you lose, you die!"

"I hope that all of you can fight for Chang'an, conquer Wuguan, and enter Nanyang. I promise you that if you enter Nanyang, you will all be meritorious officials."

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Liu Xie shouted hoarsely: "Siege the city!"

All the soldiers: "Kill-!"

The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the black soldiers and horses rushed towards the city gate like a tide, but after a while, arrows flew through the air like a torrential rain, facing the siege soldiers, and directly covered them.

"how come?"

Yuan Kui suddenly realized something was wrong, and stared at Wuguan with a frown.

"Teacher!"

Liu Xie asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

The corners of Yuan Kai's lips twitched subconsciously for a moment, and his eyes were full of horror: "Your Majesty, King Hongnong is really prepared."

Liu Xie frowned, staring at the battlefield ahead: "Teacher, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Kai sighed and said, "Information says that there are only a few hundred soldiers at Wuguan, but the density of this wave of arrows probably already has more than a thousand troops, which proves that King Hongnong has strengthened the defense of Wuguan."

"Damn!"

Liu Xie gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at the battlefield ahead: "What a cunning guy."

Yuan Kai took a deep breath and tried his best to keep himself calm: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although King Hongnong has increased the defense of Wuguan, we are also elite troops. It is still unknown who will win and who will lose."

Although the soldiers and horses brought by Shi Sun Rui are also elite, they are only the soldiers and horses of Zhi Jinwu after all, while the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Xie are the personal guards of the palace, Huben and Habayashi.

The two are completely incompatible.

Huben and Habayashi are the most elite soldiers beside His Majesty the Emperor, and they are by no means ordinary soldiers.

Just like now, even though they endured a wave of arrow rain from Wuguan, they still did not hinder their attack, and even the casualties were not as large as imagined.

With such a powerful team, coupled with the surprise soldiers hidden in advance in Nanyang, it is indeed as Yuan Kai said, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!

At this moment, Liu Xie finally calmed down and stared at the battlefield.

Pong!Pong!Pong!
but see
A series of ladders were built under the Wuguan city, and the elites of Huben and Yulin began to climb up and headed straight for the top of Wuguan city.

But what greeted them was not knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks, let alone arrows, but one after another, falling like raindrops of volcanic thunderbolts.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the next instant, explosions sounded one after another.

However, the Huben and Habayashi Army obviously had a dike. Although it was a simple ladder, the lower part was extremely heavy. It was made of several pieces of wood and bamboo, so it would not be injured easily.

As for Huben and Habayashi, they flickered quickly to avoid it. What's more, soil work has already started in the rear, and a certain trench must be dug to deal with such an explosion.

Although there are still many soldiers and horses who died unexpectedly because they couldn't dodge in time, compared to the soldiers and horses under the Gao Pass, they are already very rare.

Even Huo Du, the chief general on the top of the city, couldn't help being stunned, and couldn't help but praise: "Oh, it seems that your majesty is right, this army is indeed elite."

"Humph!"

The man on the side, Huo Jun, raised his head and said sonorously: "What kind of shit elites, no matter how elite they are, they are still flesh and blood, how can they withstand the damage of ups and downs of fire and thunder?"

"Brother, Nanyang is behind us. There are endless ammunition bombs. Taishitong sent another [-] boxes yesterday. Now the average staff has thirty ammunition bombs. Even if the door is opened, they can't kill them." Come in."

"A Jun."

Huo Du turned his head to look at Huo Jun, and said very solemnly: "Although we have an absolute advantage, we must always be vigilant and not underestimate the enemy."

"It's just like Your Majesty, even though he knew that we had endless ammunition, he increased our troops to 2000 in the first place. This is the reason why His Majesty is always victorious and undefeated."

"Even His Majesty will not underestimate the opponent, let alone you and my brother!"

"Remember!"

Speaking of this, Huo Du emphasized: "No matter at any time, you must do it. Don't be timid because of the strength of the enemy, and don't be proud of the weakness of the enemy! Always maintain awe is the way to be a general. "

Huo Jun bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, brother, Ah Jun will remember."

"kindness."

Huo Du nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately.

His eyes fell on the soldiers and horses outside the city, and he pointed to the soldiers and horses holding shovels: "If my guess is correct, they are planning to dig trenches outside the city to avoid our attack from Fuhuo Lei Ting."

"And you see, the lower part of their ladders has obviously been reinforced. This is obviously to deal with the fire and thunder, so even if we have endless fire and thunder bombs, we must not let our guard down."

Huo Jun looked at the soldiers and horses outside the city with great interest, and nodded slowly: "That's true, brother, if they use soil excavation to weaken our offensive of fire and thunder bombs, how should we respond?"

Huo Du shook his head, and regretfully said: "There is no better way for now, maybe at that time, we have to start a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy's elite."

Huo Jun took a deep breath, and subconsciously clenched the Huan Shou Dao in his hand: "It's okay, even if it's a hand-to-hand fight, we will still not be afraid, even if we fight to the death, we will wait for His Majesty to come."

"Don't worry about it too much."

Huo Du waved his hand and said loudly: "Before they dig out the trenches, we have to maximize the power of the fire and thunder bombs."

"brothers."

Huo Du shouted hoarsely, and ordered sonorously: "Go to the place where there are many people, and hit me hard. Don't worry about not having enough Fuhuo Thunder bombs. There are so many in our camp. If you have enough, hit me hard!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
In the next moment, dense volleys of thunderbolts, like raindrops, fell from the top of the city, followed by continuous explosions, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy soldiers.

Huo Du shouted at the top of his voice: "That's right, that's it. Aim and hit again. The lead wire has a burning time of several breaths, and it won't explode so quickly. Don't worry, everyone."

"Be sure to aim and fight. Whoever can throw it accurately and throw it far. After the battle is over, this general will personally reward him with the drunken wine produced in Nanyang, and give him three days off."

If all the soldiers were just throwing Fuhuo Leiting out before, then now, everyone is looking for the target carefully, and they are doing their best to let their Fuhuo Leiting achieve the effect of killing the enemy precisely.

Others may not be able to see it, but Huo Du has clearly felt that the death rate of the enemy troops under the city is constantly increasing, which proves that the hit rate of our soldiers is constantly improving.

really!

New weapons require new tactics.

It cannot rely on coverage to increase the kill rate like the previous bows and arrows.

Although the Fuhuo Thunderbolt is also a matter of coverage, it has completely different requirements from the bow and arrow attack.

After all, the explosion of this thing is delayed, while the attack and kill of the arrow is instant, the two are not the same.

Boom!

Suddenly, a bang sounded outside the city, and then there were broken arms and broken legs, flying wildly in the air.

Huo Du's eyes lit up, he immediately raised his finger to the outside, and shouted loudly: "Who threw it into the trench just now? Report your name, and you will be rewarded with a jar of drunken wine after the battle."

A soldier shouted at the top of the city: "General, it's me, Li Tiedan!"

Huo Du did not hesitate: "Okay, remember to find me after the war."

Li Tiedan was very excited: "Okay, General."

Huo Du used this to encourage the soldiers: "You should work harder."
