Chapter 338 Lock Dragon Pass
Lock Dragon Pass
Suolong Pass is located in the north by the Yellow River and the mountainside in the south. It is the eastern gate of Qinzhou. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. The surrounding mountains are connected with mountains, peaks are connected with peaks, deep valleys and cliffs, high mountains and narrow roads. If you get it, you can take advantage of the dangers of Qinzhou. At this time, wars are everywhere.
"boom"
The war was rising everywhere, the wolf smoke continued to rise towards the sky, the sun shone, and the soldiers' foreheads were sweating, and with a command.
"Kill!" The black soldiers followed the ladder ants!
"Hurry, let it go!" The supervision team urged the soldiers to roll stones on the wall and the wooden beatings kept dropping down, and the bloody color was smashed. The soldiers who climbed up climbed halfway, and were thrown down and immediately rolled down.
There is even more golden juice, and the whole pot is poured down.
The smell was filled with stench and screamed continuously. The soldiers who were climbing on the ladder immediately fell to the ground, some of whom were not killed, rolling and howling on the ground.
This kind of feces is not only severely scalded, but also severely infected. Apart from the Taoist's actions, there is no possibility of survival.
Of course, the attackers were also prepared, and some people ordered: "Let it go!"
The catapult cart kept throwing stones into the city wall, exploding on the city, and even there was a plaque in front of the cart. The plaque was very thick, with a layer of cowhide and a layer of iron. Small bricks and stones were not moved when they hit, and large bricks and stones were rolled down, firewood was thrown away and not burned. A two-wheeled cart could push and cover more than 20 people.
At this time, all the archers suddenly flashed out and shot at the city.
"Puff" sounded continuously, and the rain of arrows rushed on, and a group of soldiers from the city screamed loudly and fell to the sky.
"Oh..." King Lu looked at it, his fingers tightly, and Xie Chengdong stepped forward: "Your Majesty, although this pass is dangerous, you can block the interference of the court outside the pass."
"So we worked together and rushed to the scene. On the way, Wangxiong County surrendered without fighting. Although the Lock Dragon Pass refused to surrender, the defending generals had no time to react. There were only more than a thousand. No matter how much they resisted, they could not resist for a few days."
"And we also promote righteousness. Although it is a lie, these soldiers cannot tell the difference. They will be affected a little, so their morale will be a little weaker."
As she said this, Xie Chengdong looked at the soldiers who were accompanied by the ants and remembered what happened not long ago.
"Listen to the people in the city, the prince's harem, the treacherous ministers were in power, imprisoning the emperor. King Lu was surprised to hear about this. For the sake of the world, he raised an army to the capital to protect the emperor, kill the treacherous ministers, clear the king's side, and reorganize the mountains and rivers. When the governor and the county magistrate heard about this, they immediately followed His Highness to the capital. Why do you have to serve the prisoner of your father?" Before King Lu had captured the city, he sent someone to shout.
Although this was not effective, I saw that both sides were strangling on the city wall, but it was obvious that the more I fought, the fewer and fewer people in the city, and I smiled: "I can go down today."
Before he finished speaking, someone in Tucheng shouted: "I'm on the way."
A captain led his men to pounce on him. As soon as he rushed forward, several soldiers stabbed him with spears. The captain wiped the sweat from his face, rushed, and one of them rolled away. With one knife, a soldier company cut off the spear.
After this delay, more people were killed, and a hole was broken in the city wall. King Lu was overjoyed and said, "Check who is this, and reward it with great reward."
"How many people have we lost?" Lu Wang asked to the side, and the captain said, "Prince, we sent four thousand to the table, but now it seems that we have lost two thousand."
"Two thousand?" King Lu walked a few steps with hatred: "This time, I lost so many soldiers, killed them all."
Xie Chengdong looked at the city pole on the side, and heard that King Lu wanted to kill all the rest of the people. He was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, no, you have to resist fiercely in the battle, and you want to kill him. If everyone resists, what can you do? But this is the first battle of the prince, and the example is more meaningful. If the prince is surrendered, everyone will surrender in the future."
"Yes, prince, don't kill you anymore. Now you surrender. Next time you attack the city, someone may surrender." Eunuch Liao also said this.
When King Lu listened, his anger swelled up in his heart. At this time, his emotions and reason were fighting each other. He took a few deep breaths to suppress his heart: "What you said is, just follow this, and you will be surrendered."
"Yes, Prince."
Xie Chengdong said again: "Call surrender first. If you surrender, then divide the surrendered army and find the deputy general. If the deputy general fails, he will be the captain. If he is forced to do so, he will be tempted by life and death. There will always be someone who is willing to surrender. As long as there is one person, he will be an example."
He said to King Lu again: "I'll ask the prince to act like a daughter buying bones."
King Lu waved his hand at this time and said, "What you said is that Gu already understands it, so let's follow this."
The captain took the order out, and after a while, the city shouted: "Those who surrender do not die, and those who surrender do not die."
"How can we be surrendered by these thieves and kill the thieves for the sake of the court?" There was a noisy outside, and it seemed that we were unwilling to surrender.
"Arrow!" There were archery and screams. King Lu didn't say anything, but heard people shouting: "The prince imprisoned the emperor, and the prince raised an army to the capital to protect the emperor. Even the governor and the county magistrate followed His Highness. Why do you have to serve the prisoner of your father? If you are stubborn, you can only kill."
"Thief!" Someone shouted again, but he was shot to death by arrows immediately. Finally, someone could no longer hold on and knelt down and shouted: "We are willing to surrender and follow the prince to attack the thief."
One person knelt down, then knelt down one after another, hundreds of people surrendered, and the sound of killing gradually stopped.
After a while, a general of 35 or 36 years old and of medium size came over. When he saw King Lu, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed his head repeatedly: "The last general, Qiao Dao, the deputy general of Lock Dragon Pass, did not know that the prince was the savior of Jingnan, and he was guilty of resisting the heavenly soldiers by himself."
"Those who do not know will not be guilty. The general suddenly wakes up and abandons the darkness and turns to the light. This is a great kindness. Please get up!" Prince Lu personally helped up the side general, scanned the "awakened" surrendered soldiers, and was delighted.
This is indeed a play, but politics is just like this. Some people take the lead and some follow. With more people, it becomes a real thing.
If it were a rebel, even if these hundreds of soldiers could be used, they would have to be transformed.
But now, telling them that they are the "Savior of Jingnan" will be available immediately. As for the future, if you follow yourself for a long time, it doesn't matter if you know the truth.
He smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we enter the pass."
There is still a mansion in Suolong Pass. For a moment, there is a map on the table in the hall, which is the entire Qinzhou map. King Lu was wearing armor and raised his eyebrows. Eunuch Liao and Xie Chengdong were both standing on one side.
"Mr. Xie, we have seized the pass. Do you have any suggestions?" Lu Wang turned his head slightly and looked at Xie Chengdong on the left. He smiled. This time, the father could not do anything to him. He could take down Qinzhou by looking back.
Xie Chengdong thought for a moment, pointed to the map in front of him and said, "Prince, if you get it from Lock Dragon Pass, you can block the interference of the imperial court outside the pass based on the dangers of Qinzhou. I have already said this."
"Now, it can be said that the overall situation is half set."
"But the imperial court has its own world, and its power is not within reach of Qinzhou. If we ignore the imperial court and rely on the strong pass to clean up Qinzhou, then after we finish cleaning up, we will find that hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court have been rectified. Even if we can hold on for a longer period of time and fight the overall situation with a corner, we will never be able to escape the situation of defeat."
"We must attack the capital immediately after the imperial army is not mobilized!"
"What?" Lu Wang's body stiffened, and his face was shocked. He looked at Xie Chengdong and asked, "Our army is only 20,000, how can we attack the capital?"
Xie Chengdong couldn't help but smile: "Prince, do you still remember the incident of the Stone King four hundred years ago?"
"King of Stone?" Lu Wang seemed to be thinking.
He only heard Xie Chengdong say, "The King of Shi rebelled and captured Ningcheng and claimed to be the king. However, in February, he ordered Lin Xiang to lead a 20,000 troops to fight north, and once approached the capital. Because he went deep into the city alone, he was besieged and strangled by the army."
"Many people think this is a foolish move, and the army goes deeper!" Xie Chengdong sneered disdainfully: "But this is actually a stroke of a god. If the prince carefully investigates history, he will find that only 20,000 troops were scared to the capital to mobilize heavy troops to return to the army to protect."
"The Expeditionary Force lasted for nearly two years, and during this period, the Shiwang army almost entered a deserted land in the south, conquering important cities one after another, and for a while, the power was greatly shocked."
"Why, it was the Northern Expedition Army that disrupted the deployment of the court, so that there were no heavy troops in the south and no one could organize the encirclement and suppression in an all-round way. When the Northern Expedition failed, the court freed up the action, and the states united and strangled step by step, destroying the Stone King in the thirteenth year."
"The Stone King failed, but this history left the secret of success, and we can improve this excellence. Our attack on the capital is just a strategy, not a death battle."
"If you can conquer all the way, you can conquer your army, enrich your food and army, and even transport it to Qinzhou. If you cannot conquer it, you can let it go as long as you cannot organize the blockade, and we can publicize the prince's harem, imprison the emperor, control the government, and treacherous ministers in power along the way."
"This kind of thing disrupts the deployment and plans of the court, and gives Qinzhou strategy a stable and peaceful strategic condition."
"Your Highness is the emperor's son, and he has natural inheritance. It can be compared to digesting counties and counties, but the king of Shi and the marquis of Jibei. As long as Qinzhou is obtained, we can determine the direction and territory of our real strategy based on the situation."
"I hope that the Marquis of Jibei in the south can hold on for more time, so that as long as we get the three states, we will overcome the initial crisis and compete with the court for a strong victory."
"Shan, sir, I am really my military advisor." King Lu thought about it carefully, understood, and immediately smiled. A report came from outside the door. A Taoist hurriedly came up to report: "Yingzhou was pacified, Jibei Hou was killed, and the imperial army had already returned to the court."
When King Lu heard this, he was shocked: "What?"
He showed surprise and disbelief, but Xie Chengdong became much calmer and sighed and said, "I originally felt that the Marquis of Jibei did not have the aura of a king, and I don't want to be unable to hold on to this little time."
"However, this proves that the prince has great fortune. You think, what would happen to us if this news arrived some time in advance?"
