Wulong Mountain is the original junction of Dai State and Qing State. Wulong Mountain is like five dragons traveling from Dai State to Qing State, and has derived the terrain of many desolate ravines in Maoling County.
There are four paths between the five dragons. In fact, there are only two of the four powerful paths that are wider for soldiers to pass by with weapons and equipment. The other two, one needs to climb mountains and ridges, and the other is completely supported by the plank road. So when the army heads north, only a few thousand people go over to destroy the plank road, which destroys the two paths, at least it will not be able to pass in a short period of time.
There were fortresses built by the two countries on the remaining two paths. The Oolong Fort was the south. Because Huang Sen's army was very fast, he gathered a large army to deliberately change into Dai Guo's soldiers and come from Dai Guo Er, and directly opened the gate of the Oolong Fort and quickly occupied the Oolong Fort. Then he asked Che Xun and Zhou Chengzhi to take the men and the guards of the Oolong Fort to open the northern path Bailong Fort. So, as if it seemed a bit incredible, Dai Guo was cut off from the army in Maoling County.
Although the three counties in the northwest of Qing State are all connected to Dai State, Fengshui County and Feng Lake are blocked, Dai State's naval army is really not very good. Going south, you have to walk from Chongshan County. Once you demarcate the boundary with Qing State, it is not easy to get over. Even if you come over, go north to send the army into the mouth of the Wei Dynasty.
The current situation has become that since you can't fight, you will simply be trapped to death. Both sides are blocked and unable to transport materials. The remaining place is the Great Gobi Desert with thousands of miles of drought and deserted. Moreover, after passing through it, it is also a place in Daxia. Daxia cannot and will not allow Dai Guo to transport materials from Daxia, and the materials cannot be transported.
Ning Lin has indeed made a lot of preparations before that. Shu Yan mobilized some people from Qingguo to get along with various ways to send people to Daiguo's territory, and brought great pressure to Daiguo. In addition, Huang Sen and others were indeed good at fighting, which led to such a situation.
Maoling County has a large territory, but it is too desolate. In fact, the north is already a Gobi Desert, with no one in a thousand miles. The only place that can support people is a small plain in the middle. In addition, some places can grow something between the gullies, which can feed 300,000 or 500,000 people in total. However, at present, not only are there only 200,000 Dai State army, but also some people in Qing State. More importantly, there are animals such as war horses to feed, and the 200,000 army is impossible to farm.
Maoling County is a strategic area, which resists the possible invasion of Daxia in the north, and even resists Daiguo's entry from the north to the west. However, as a dead land, it is a terrifying thing for the 200,000 Daiguo's army.
If the 200,000 army was mobilized on a large scale, it would not be concealed by Ning Lin, and if it was a small scale, Shu Yanyou mobilized the people of Qing Kingdom to completely kill the 200,000 troops.
It was Ning Lin who had such conditions that determined this huge siege.
Perhaps it was fate. When summer originated, the northwest of Qing Kingdom was facing drought. Originally, Maoling County was raining all the time, but there would be some rain in late spring and early summer, but this year, nothing fell.
The drought made the already hard-to-be-suffering Maoling County worse. After three months of material supply, the Dai Kingdom's army began to shake its morale.
Dai Guo naturally knew this, so he began to send troops to attack the two forts, Bailong and Wulong, and successfully cut off the transportation channel established between Wei and the 80,000 troops in early summer. After all, Daxia only had a waterway to enter Dai Guo. In fact, this road was not easy to walk, and there was no decent place to defend the ground offensive on the edge of Feng Lake. Instead, he had a natural geographical advantage against the lake surface and a lake shoreline that was extremely unfavorable for landing operations. Therefore, the seized passage was also put in Ninglin's plan. For this reason, after seizing the two forts, he desperately transported supplies to the two forts and sent an additional 20,000 people.
The reason why more people were not sent was not because they were afraid that the 200,000 Dai Guo army would re-enter Fengshui County. After all, Ning Lin had 400,000 troops in his hands, mainly two fortresses could accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 people. Moreover, the number of people was too large and the materials were consumed quickly. Sixty thousand people were the best number of people calculated.
The two fortresses were originally important fortresses, and they had originally hoarded a lot of supplies, especially because they had to transport supplies to the Dai Kingdom army, which also became a temporary storage site. Therefore, the food and grass in the two fortresses were originally enough for at least 60,000 people to eat for more than half a year. In addition, a crazy transportation took one month, so there was no worry about no food and grass for two years.
In this way, although the two soldiers are alone, the so-called lonely army is not afraid of no foreign aid.
As the general defending the city, Huang Sen was the main general on one hand, and Che Xun was the main general on the other hand, especially Che Xun, who showed his determination to live and die with the city. Because of this, Ning Lin sent them there.
Of course, Dai Guo also knew that if the 200,000 troops were eaten by the other party, it would be a great blow to Dai Guo, which was originally a small population. After all, a lot of people had been consumed in the three counties of Qing Kingdom before, but the three counties of Qing Kingdom, especially Maoling County, was too important. Dai Guo did not want to throw them away, and he did not dare to throw them away, because once they were thrown away, the Wei Dynasty could enter Dai Guo without any worries. Dai Guo could destroy the country, let alone, the two fortresses that were guarding the Dai Kingdom were occupied, which was even more dangerous.
So Dai State gathered 180,000 troops and began to choose one of the fortresses to attack. Because Huang Sen was famous, especially when Dai State's army defeated Jiang Heng, it was Huang Sen's last move to turn the tide and rushed out with the army, so he chose the White Dragon Fort guarded by Che Xun. After all, it would be enough to open one passage now. As for walking the other two, the plank road was destroyed, it would take no time to repair it for three years without any battle. Without fighting, relying solely on people to cross mountains and ridges, the food that a person could carry was barely enough to eat on the road. It was meaningless. As for the 200,000 army to go out on two paths, the Wei army that was staring at would press forward step by step. After leaving the defense line that had been built for many years, Dai State's army could get along with the cattle and sheep that were chased, so until it was absolutely necessary, Dai State did not even dare to withdraw easily.
