The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 136 Revival Annihilation War ([-])
"Quick, quick! Climb up quickly. The bamboo tube is coming, be careful to avoid it! Don't get stuck!"

It was late at night on December [-]th in the first year of Yanxing.Although the sun has long since finished work, under the illumination of countless torches and large candlesticks, the flat ground outside the southeast side of Baishui Pass is still as beautiful as day.Countless soldiers of the Shuhan Nanzhong Army and Habayashi Army are working desperately.

Speaking of which, among the two long-distance raiding troops of the Shu Han, although it is only in terms of road conditions.Huo Yi's journey is much easier than Guan Yi's - Deng Ai has just done it once.But in terms of the overall difficulty of marching, the difficulty of Huo Yi's journey is actually more difficult and dangerous than that of Guan Yi.

The reason for saying this is because whether it is Jiangyou or Qiaotou, until Baishuiguan, there are a small number of Wei troops stationed in these strongholds.It is not difficult to take these strongholds, but the difficulty is that Huo Yijun cannot let any Wei army escape along the way, otherwise the news will leak out.And once the news leaked out, no matter it was Huo Yi's army or Guan Yi's army, they would have the same fate: being ambushed by heavy troops and wiped out.

Fortunately, Huo Yi led the South Central Corps.This army, which is very good at climbing mountains and mountains, may be less disciplined than other Shu Han armies, but it is the best mountain infantry of this era.

Along the way, Huo Yi's strategy was as follows: the small troops advanced, instead of going to the stronghold, they climbed directly over the mountain peaks near the stronghold, and then guarded the exit, intercepting and killing the Wei army who fled in a hurry due to the attack of the main force.It was because of the characteristics of Nanzhong soldiers that Huo Yijun arrived at Baishuiguan all the way without any danger, and also ensured the safety of Guan Yijun from the side.

Hurrying quickly, Huo Yi's troops arrived at Baishuiguan on December 15th (Xindu raid No. [-]), and then repeated their old tricks and successfully captured Baishuiguan.

If it is said that Yang'an Pass is related to the food road of Jiange Camp, its guard Huangfu Kai still has some things to do every few days.Then Baishui Gatekeeper Wang Mai sat here for two months.The humid climate in the mountains made moss grow on his body!

But Huo Yi, who has been with the emperor since he was a child and has a personality that pursues perfection, still exerts his best in the face of such a defenseless pass as Baishui Pass.This time, none of the [-] defenders at Baishuiguan could escape.This caused Zhonghui to become vigilant until the early morning of the [-]th, when the food team from Yang'anguan did not show up on time.

After taking Baishuiguan, Huo Yi did the same thing as Guan Yi did at Yang'an Pass: strengthen the pass.

Because it doesn't matter whether it is Yang'an Pass or Baishui Pass.Its main function is to defend against enemies from the north, so the north-facing side is much stronger.But now the situation is reversed. If they want to use the south side of these two checkpoints to lock the enemy, then the south side of the two checkpoints must be reinforced.

What to use to reinforce it?cement!

Yes, cement!As a time traveler, especially those who have been cultivating Fuling County for seven years, everything is a time traveler who is preparing for today.In the environment of limestone everywhere in Fuling County, cement has long been produced by Guan Yi.It's just because the Shu Han's national strength is too weak, just like stirrups, he dare not promote these things widely.

Countless big trees have been cut down, and everyone in Nanzhong who is familiar with the characteristics of trees is a good carpenter.They quickly took care of the trunk into large wooden boards one after another—this is the wooden formwork.

Along the two sides of the south wall of Baishuiguan, one piece of wooden formwork was spliced ​​together, and gradually the height of the wooden formwork reached one-third of the height of the city wall, and some soldiers put the tall bamboo tubes at certain intervals. The distance is inserted into the gap between the wall and the wooden formwork.After the craftsmen reinforced the wooden formwork for the last time, all the scaffolding was removed.Then from above the city wall, strands of freshly prepared cement paste were poured into wooden molds against the city wall...

What Guan Yi produced was Portland cement, commonly known as Portland cement.For this kind of cement, the initial setting time only needs four to five 10 minutes, and the final setting time generally does not exceed 7 hours.Even if the wet and cold weather slows down the setting time of the cement, one day is enough for Huo Yi and Guan Yi to add a layer of bamboo-reinforced concrete walls to their city walls.

Not only that, because the terrain on the south side of the two checkpoints is relatively flat, so under the guidance of Ma Guo, Huo Yi also sent people to dig holes on the flat ground in the south of the checkpoint.

The holes dug here are in the shape of a cuboid, each hole is at least three meters deep, and then bamboo tubes or tree trunks more than five meters in length are inserted, and then cement is poured into the holes.After it is flush with the ground, on this basis, use a new bamboo tube to connect the bamboo tube that has been inserted in the pit, and bind the two with iron wire.Then continue to build the wooden formwork, and then pour cement into the wooden formwork...

In just three days, 3000 people under Huo Yi's command were divided into three teams to work day and night. Finally, in the early morning of the [-]th, except for the city wall of Baishuiguan, which was successfully covered with concrete walls.Within three miles to the south of Baishuiguan, there are all large and small uneven cuboid concrete walls.

The exposed part of this cement wall is no more than two meters high, less than half a meter wide, and no longer than five meters long.In fact, they do not hinder the progress of a certain person or a few people, they are just more detours.But such a multi-layered concrete wall is a complete nightmare for the army-it cannot form a formation, and facing the attack target, the troops that can be invested at one time are weakened to the extreme!
"Report~~ Your Majesty, General Annan, General Zhenxi Zhonglang (Ma Jie), report from the scouts that our army sent out. Twenty miles southeast of the Guanmen, a large group of enemy troops have been found. Judging by the length of the torch, it is about 1 Thousands of people!"

"Hehehe, it's only at this time, so late! Send an order! Don't worry about the unfinished cement wall, the whole team will call it a day and retreat into the pass!"

"Here!"

.......
On December [-]th, the army of the Jiange Camp responsible for supporting the food team failed to wait for their friendly troops.

However, because they had been sitting near the Jiange for two months, the vigilance of all Zhong Huijun soldiers was extremely low.So the military marquis who led the team laughed to his subordinates, saying that those slobs at Yang'an Pass must have fallen asleep and so on.

At Yin time on the [-]th, the food team at Yang'an Pass still hadn't arrived. Xia Houxian, who was in charge of the logistics of the whole army, realized something was wrong. .And because the Jiange camp is too large, the sources of the various troops are complicated.By the time Zhong Hui received the report, it was already two quarters of the hour on the [-]th (eight o'clock in the morning).

After receiving the report, Zhong Hui immediately knew that something was wrong: Zhong Hui was also a momentary hero, and he performed brilliantly when assisting Sima Zhao to put down the third Shouchun rebellion launched by Zhuge Dan.Such a person may be deceived for a while, but the food team on our side is a whole day late, does it mean that it is still difficult to get Zhong Hui?

"It's broken! I'm really deluded by lard. Jiang Wei has defected to Xishu for more than 30 years, and he has long been appointed as the general of Xishu. He surrendered long ago. Why did he wait until now? What did you say?" Give some time to clean up the resistance faction, MD himself is the most stubborn resistance faction!"

After thinking about Jiang Wei's recent abnormalities, the next thought came to his mind, and Zhong Hui couldn't help but tremble all over: "Yang'an Pass, isn't it lost?"

Thinking of this, Zhong Hui immediately made a decision: surrender Jiang Shu, and lead three thousand soldiers of the Shu Han to surrender as the vanguard.The later general Xia Houxian led an army of [-] as the queen.Immediately go to Yang'anguan to investigate!
Not long after dispatching this team, Zhong Hui regained his mind a little bit, suddenly slapped his head, and then dispatched the guard Hu Lie, leading an army of [-], and immediately marched towards Baishui Pass.

Jiange is about ninety miles away from Baishui Pass.Hu Lie led his army to set off early in the morning, running wildly all the way, and finally arrived at Baishui Pass in the early morning of the [-]th.The whole army held up their torches and looked dumbfounded.

Jiange is a little farther from the road to Yang'an Pass, more than two hundred miles away.So Jiang Shu's army didn't arrive at Yang'an Pass until noon on the [-]th.After staying far away to see the Chinese character banner on the Guancheng, Jiang Shu only felt bitter...

On the [-]th, Zhong Hui received a report from Hu Lie that Baishuiguan was lost!

On the [-]th, Xia Houxian reported that Yang'an Pass was lost!

Zhong Hui immediately ordered the whole army to count the food and grass and save food.The officer in charge of food and grass management told him fearfully: even now, the daily food consumption of the whole army will be reduced by one-third.At present, the food stored in the Jiange camp is only enough for the whole army to feed for fifteen days!

So far, Guan Yi at Yang'an Pass, Huo Yi at Baishui Pass, and Jiang Wei at Jiange, the three fulcrums form a triangle.The Bashan and Shushui in the territory of the Shuhan Kingdom form the three sides of the triangle.The 15 people in Zhonghui were firmly trapped in this narrow valley.

The siege of Baiqi in the Battle of Changping finally reappeared in the world!
