Prime Minister take care

Chapter 120 Landscape Situation
Pingling is a strategic location with a large river flowing through it.To the west of Pingling is a hundred-mile long road, which makes it difficult to spread troops. To the east is a vast plain of plains, all the way to Yingcheng, the capital of Chu.

From Yizhou to Jingzhou, from Bajun to Wuning County, on a thousand-mile river, there are dense mountains and forests, and the river is winding. There are only a few fulcrums, and Pingling is one of them.

These fulcrums are flat places where mountains and rivers meet, suitable for building cities and raising soldiers.

During the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, prefectures were divided into prefectures and counties. In order to prevent the princes from all over the country from supporting their own troops, they forcibly divided the terrain and put hundreds of miles of river area from Pingling to Guixiang to Kuimen under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou.

In this way, there will be hundreds of miles of river territory to the west of Yingcheng in Jingzhou as a buffer.

But 30 years ago, the world was in chaos, and princes from all over the country were constantly fighting.After Yang Zhong entered Shu, he took the lead and seized the hundreds of rivers that were originally Pingfan in the west of Jingzhou.

If Yang Xian is willing, he can raise a hundred thousand troops in Xian City, march down the river, and reach Ying City in one month.This is also the reason why Huan Wu wanted to destroy Shu and capture Yang Xian.

After destroying Shu and killing Yang Xian, Huan Wu could garrison 30 troops in Yizhou.When the time comes, water and land advance together, and Wu Chu is destroyed in an instant.

If Liang Jun wins Shu now, it will definitely not take more than five years to unify the world.But Shu could not be destroyed. It was very difficult for Liang Jun to destroy Wu Chu.

Liang Jun not only had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and attack with all his strength from north to south, but also faced the complex water systems and capable naval forces of Wu and Chu.

Liang Jun did not hesitate to expend national power and grind through it bit by bit. It was absolutely impossible to destroy Wu Chu within ten to twenty years.What's more, during this period, the other princes will definitely not sit idly by and watch, and the foreign races from all directions will not miss this opportunity.

If the Kingdom of Shu is Huan Wu's heart disease, then Pingling is Cai Tong's heart disease.Yang Xian wanted to hit him without any effort.But Cai Tong wanted to fight back, and he couldn't pass Pingling alone.

If Cai Tong tries hard, firstly, he is not as wealthy as Huanwu, and secondly, time does not allow for it.After all, the Chu army had to go upstream to attack Shu. Even if the war went smoothly, they would not be able to invade the hinterland of Shu in three or five years.

This moment is a golden opportunity.

Wen Qing, the general of the Chu army, looked at the looming city in the distance. The defenders of Pingling all went to Wuning County to rescue Yang Xian, and the city was empty of troops.

Wen Qing has [-] elite Chu troops in his hands. After taking Pingling, if the war goes well, he can even take back his hometown and even Kuimen.

Wen Qing no longer hesitated and shouted: "Raise the flag! March!"

As he shouted loudly, Wen Qing could easily feel the resonance in his chest.He could not conceal his excitement. This was a war that could change the balance of national power between Chu and Shu.If they win, in the upper reaches of the river, the two countries of Shu and Chu will fall into a military balance of power, and no one can do anything to the other.

Moreover, if Pingling falls, Yang Xian will have no way to return.As long as Chu Hou can capture Yang Xian, he will definitely be able to force Yang Chun to make more concessions.

Twenty thousand Chu troops were flying flags and beating drums, their troops were in good order and their military might was impressive.The reason for such a big fanfare is that Wen Qing is testing whether Pingling City is really empty?

People often say that most generals in the army are brave and unstrategic. However, if they are brave and unstrategic, how can they command an army and attack thousands of miles in unison?

This general in the army, after more than 30 years of hard work in troubled times, has become more cautious and even cunning than ordinary people despite his rough appearance.The war was dangerous and ever-changing. If they were not careful, they would end up with their army and people destroyed. They had no choice but to be careless.

The [-] Chu troops marched forward in full force until they reached the main city of Pingling. Wen Qing was finally sure that the thousands of defenders here had really left.

There is no way that the heirs of this line in the army would be so stupid as to let the [-] Chu troops capture all the surrounding branch city pavilions little by little. It was not until they reached the main city that they started to counterattack.

The right way is to defend the city according to danger and block it according to danger.There is only one possibility for the Shu army to do this, that is, they are empty of troops and do not have enough strength to defend the dangerous positions on the periphery, so they can only huddle in the main city.

Facts have also proved Wen Qing's suspicion. Those on the wall of the main city of Pingling are your soldiers. They are incompletely dressed and unarmed, and they look like civilians.

"Archer, shoot." Wen Qing believed that with just a few rounds of shooting, he could break the will of the people in the city and make them surrender.

However, as the locust-like feather arrows shot towards the city, things went beyond Wen Qing's expectations.

The light of the consecutive runes shines on the top of the city, and they are connected in series to form a line, and they are connected into a net.The feathered arrow shot into the air, as if it had hit an iron plate, making a crisp impact sound, but no matter how hard it was to get in, they fell down one after another.

Wen Qing's eyes were smooth and shining, and he murmured in his mouth.

"Splitting the mountains and suppressing the sea is the talisman of suppressing the sea!"

Wen Qing was very familiar with this situation, it was Chengtian Dao's method.In his memory, after the Dongyang Sect surrendered, Yang Xian organized his followers into an army of ten thousand people.

"Dongzhou soldiers!"

Wen Qing felt a sudden realization at this moment.No army in the world has this style of fighting, but this one is the exception.Chengtian Taoist disciples are from the Star lineage, and their fighting methods are very different from those of the Army lineage.They don't care about the situation of mountains and rivers. The more people they have, the stronger they become.

Thinking of this, Wen Qing's expression changed drastically. They were too close to the main city of Pingling.This distance is too dangerous, and it is difficult to use hands and feet.

"Go back!"

Wen Qing was eager to change his formation, but the talisman light shone again in the sky above the city, forming a net and heading towards the Chu army.The Mountain Splitting Talisman can be said to be very simple, but when woven together, it can exert great power.

There is spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and it is also present in human beings.The Splitting Mountain Talisman Formation is like a sharp axe, capable of strangulating the spiritual energy of a person.

At that time, millions of followers of Chengtian Dao used this talisman together, and it was even able to cut off the flow of spiritual energy in the mountains and rivers.This is where the name Split Mountain comes from.

Wen Qing's reaction was very fast, but the Chu army's retreat was still too slow.The Chu army, which was originally the vanguard, turned into the rear group and failed to leave in time, so it encountered the mountain-splitting talisman formation.Hundreds of soldiers were either dead or injured.

Wen Qing turned to look at the top of the city, and saw a man standing on the top of the city, looking at the Chu army in an extremely embarrassed state with his hands behind his hands.

"Han is worthy of it!"

Wen Qing recited the name, clenching his fists and shining with light in his eyes.

Black Tiger Mountain.

The two armies of Shu and Chu were fighting, and a red light suddenly appeared in the distance.With the sound of horse hooves trampling, Yang Xian's voice rang in Cai Tong's ears.

"Cai Tong, you ask me, out of the thirty thousand elites in the capital of Chu, only ten thousand are with you. Where did the remaining twenty thousand go? But I want to ask a question, does the Marquis of Chu think that there are only these thousands of people around me? Can't defend the army?"

The blood dragon roared, its sharp edge revealed.

Qin Feng rode forward and rushed in front of the formation. His body was full of blood-killing energy, as if he was possessed by the God of War.

Cai Tong was frightened, Qin Feng's heroic figure was in his eyes, and he couldn't help shouting.

"Xiliang cavalry!"
