Longyuan.
After Alan Daer led his troops westward, Liu Yuanzhen was resting and preparing to counterattack Jieting Pass, and sent a snoop to Chang'an to warn Lian Xixian, and Shang was cautious.
Three days later, he looked to the south of Qianhe Valley again and again, waiting for news from Guanzhong.
No news.
Lian Xixian and Shang Ting only sent one piece of information, and after that, they neither sent a letter to seek help nor sent a letter to report victory.
How many Song troops did Jingzhao Mansion encounter? There was no follow-up news.
Liu Yuanzhen had an idea in his mind that he could no longer suppress himself.
"Second uncle, Jingzhao Mansion will not be lost, right?"
Jia Hou was in a daze, came to his senses and asked, "What did Dalang say?"
"There is no reply from Jingzhao Mansion, it will not be lost, right?"
"I don't believe that Li Xia can conquer Chang'an City from Ziwu Valley." Jia Hou said slowly, "With Mr. Lian and Mr. Shang here, it is impossible for him to lose so quickly."
Liu Yuanzhen asked again: "Did your second uncle find it? For two consecutive days, some of the horses who went south never came back."
"Dalang said that the road back to Guanzhong was blocked?"
"It's possible." Liu Yuanzhen said: "Li Xia doesn't want us to rush to help, he is buying time."
"Oh, let's talk about regaining Jieting Pass..."
The two stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the battlefield ahead.
After a while of silence, Liu Yuanzhen spoke again.
"What are the second uncle thinking just now?"
Jia Hou sighed and murmured, "Li Xia said she wanted to clarify Di Yu, Kang Ji's creature... I was thinking, is he crazy? Or did he really think so?"
"He doesn't have this strength, he's far from it."
Liu Yuanzhen commented, his eyes became dim, and he said, "I have to admit that he is better than me... much better than me, but his strength is far from striving for the world."
"Dalang thought he was crazy?"
"He is conceited." Liu Yuanzhen sighed in a low voice: "He is conceited, not crazy, I am almost crazy... The absence of Chang'an makes people worried."
It is already difficult for them to focus on Jieting Pass.
By counting the time, Lintao's decisive battle has ended. If we win, the Mongolian troops at the pass are not worth worrying. If we lose, then Hundu Hai can enter Guanzhong. Everything is over. What else should we consider?
Finally, there was a sound of horse hooves from afar and shouts came.
"Hunduhai, Alan Da'er has been defeated!"
“…”
Liu Yuanzhen's eyes immediately turned red.
"It's not easy to win the main battlefield."
If it weren't for Li Xia, he would be ecstatic now.
~~
After snatching back to Jieting Pass, Liu Heima looked around the battlefield.
As his eyes fell, he saw Liu Yuanzhen's troops and horses suffered heavy casualties.
Sorrow came from it, but I coughed a few times.
"Ahem! Ahem..."
"Father!"
"It's okay, what's the war in Jingzhao Prefecture?"
"The news broke."
"Broken?"
Liu Heima looked southeast and murmured: "The road was intercepted by Li Xia... Is it Dasan Pass?"
"It's very likely."
"There are so many troops in Sichuan and Shu?"
Liu Yuanzhen said: "If all the troops stationed in the garrison are included, Li Xia can also have tens of thousands of troops. However, he can draw more than 10,000 troops to the north."
Of course, Liu Heima knew that he didn't need his eldest son to explain everything so clearly.
"Ahem... I'm asking, how many troops are there to attack Jingzhao Mansion?"
"I don't know, but Li Xia needs at least 20,000 elite troops to attack the city." Liu Yuanzhen had thought carefully and said, "And now, he intercepted Qianhe River Valley and might even have captured Fengxiang Mansion. He must be mobilizing troops from all over Hanzhong."
"He's so brave."
"Father, I'm thinking, Hanzhong..."
Liu Heima raised his hand and stopped Liu Yuanzhen's chatter.
He walked with a big strode, called two generals, and started to call.
"You lead two thousand-man teams, as the pioneers, go to the front to explore first!"
"yes!"
~~
Double zenith.
This mountain is located at the southern end of Qianhe River Valley, and to the southeast is Fengxiang Mansion.
To the south of Fengxiang Mansion is Qinling Mountains, facing the Dasan Pass on Chencang Road.
As early as after Li Xia recovered Hanzhong, one thing he did immediately was to occupy the Shu Road Pass.
Among them, Yang Ben was stationed at Ziwu Pass, Song He was stationed at Xiegu Pass, and Xu Kui was stationed at Dasan Pass.
Now that the war in Longxi is around, Yang Ben bluffs around Chang'an City.
Song He led a small group of cavalry Yang to attack Fengxiang Mansion, which scared the defenders in the city to close the city gate.
At the same time, Lin Zi had led the Hanzhong defenders to Dasan Pass and separated from Xu Kui to Qianhe and Weihe Valley.
When the Mongolian army on both sides was in full swing in Longxi, they did not encounter enemy attacks, nor did they attack any city. The main thing they did was to transport baggage.
Linzi went to the Weihe Valley.
Xu Kui chose the double zenith of Qianhe River Valley.
He led people to transport the baggage to the mountains in the valley, build camps, garrison, dig ditches, set up ambush, and cannons.
When doing these, there are many great temptations... For example, if six thousand people attack the Fengxiang Mansion, which has empty troops, they may be able to conquer it.
Of course, I can't hold on.
This time, the first military order of Li Xia is-
"Don't fight in the wild! Don't fight in the wild! Don't fight in the wild!"
Xu Kui wakes up every day and reads this sentence three times first.
The infantry do what the infantry should do, block the road, set up the observation points, dig the trenches, sprinkle the calcare pears, set up the cannon frames, prepare the wood, stones and thunder, and crossbowmen ambushing...
An enemy messenger came and the crossbow arrow shot him off the horse.
Let Longxi and Guanzhong communicate with each other.
Xu Kui didn't think about the situation at all. He only knew that his mission was to wait for the main force of the Mongolian army to return and block the opponent for ten days.
The supplies, arms and wood and stones he brought could only be blocked for more than ten days.
Finally, on the second day of April, two thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the north with their watch tubes.
Xu Kui waved his hand suddenly.
"put!"
Flag swings.
The leads on the storm cannon were lit.
The cannon cart threw out the sky-shaking cannon and landed in the direction of the trench.
The terrain of the Double Zenith is not steep, but it is condescending, and it is ready to attack but not ready.
"boom!"
"boom……"
~~
Liu Heima frowned when he heard the movement ahead.
To be continued...
