Dugu's guess was not wrong. Behind the bright and golden army was indeed an elite group of lightly-armed soldiers. Moreover, this army was really led by Xue Sha himself.
After being fooled by Dugu's cunning plan that night, Xue Sha was furious. While cursing Dugu's despicable cunning, he ordered Zhu Shitan to prepare strategic materials to go south. Zhu Shitan was also wise, and when he saw the commander
After being furious, he immediately spent a lot of money to find two guides who were familiar with the terrain in the surrounding villages. And early the next morning, Xue Sha led an army of 10,000 people and headed south lightly.
Compared with the equipment of Dugu's army, the equipment of Xuesha's army was simpler. The army only carried two days of rations. During the process of going south, Xuesha collected and scraped dust along the way on the pretext of saving food.
It can be said that the food of the tribe is eaten wherever he goes. However, the food he brought with him was not touched at all. Sha Dan of the Shan tribe was already gnashing his teeth in anger at Dugu's rogue behavior, who would have known
In just one day, another army arrived that was even more rogue and shameless than Dugu. But after seeing the appearance of this army, Sha Dan wisely chose to compromise. Just kidding, facing a group of vicious men and women carrying a large number of
Even if Sha Dan is an idiot, he understands what the other party is thinking. What he wants now is to hope that these plague gods will leave as soon as possible. When the blood-killing army enters the boundary of Jingzhou, Sha Dan will relax.
tone.
However, the two guides who were killed in the blood were not from the Keshui tribe after all. Although they were familiar with the South Yunnan Road, they only knew the main roads in the southern part of South Yunnan. During the day and night march, the two guides who were killed in the blood were
The army actually deviated slightly from Dugu's army. In the dark night, the traces left by the troops in front could not be seen clearly. As a result, Xue Sha led the army and directly inserted it from about ten miles west of Nanping, all the way to Lin Lin.
They stopped in the Nanling Mountains in the south of the city. At dawn, the two guides who discovered that they had taken the wrong route were about to plead guilty to Xue Sha, but Xue Sha unexpectedly discovered that there were two guides to the north and south of his location.
Each side has an army of about 50,000 golden flowers. And the army in the north seems to be fighting. Due to the intuition of a soldier, Xue Sha realized that this was an opportunity at that time, and then immediately surveyed the terrain and prepared to attack.
Let's fight here.
After careful selection, Xue Sha finally selected a mountain pass that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as his position. Those fighting the Jinhua army in the north must be Dugu's troops. And according to Xue Sha's understanding of Dugu, although Dugu is a human
His character is very rogue, but his military ability cannot be overshadowed. Since he dares to take the initiative to provoke, he must be at least 70% sure. If the Jinhua soldiers are defeated, they will definitely ask the army behind them for immediate rescue. Thinking of this
, Xue Sha's mind immediately became flexible. If the Golden Flower soldiers in the south are preparing to go north for rescue, then this is naturally the most convenient way. And if the Golden Flower soldiers in the north retreat, they will definitely pass here. After careful consideration, Xue Sha
Sha still decided to choose this place for his maiden battle with Jin Hua.
What Xue Sha doesn't know is that the place where he is standing now is the most important Yangshui Cliff in the northern part of the Jinhua Dynasty, which borders Jingzhou. However, the strength of the Keshui tribe is really limited, and it is located behind the 50,000-strong Huoliangjin army.
, so Jinhua did not send anyone to guard it, so this unintentionally completed the bloody battle.
After receiving the news from Huo Liangjin, Pu Zhicheng led the entire army northward without any hesitation. Except for a small number of logistics troops who stayed in the camp, the 50,000-strong army came out in full force. Although he did not understand why the Hetao army came like this
He is quick and does not know the strength of the opponent. But since the opponent dares to take the lead in attacking and rushes southward thousands of miles away, he must have something to rely on. He still knows Huo Liangjin's talent very well. If it is to deal with southern Yunnan
He still has no problem with the local armed forces of the five tribes. However, compared with Qingfeng's regular army, there is still a gap.
As the number one general of Jinhua, Park Zhicheng is outstanding in terms of vision and vision. He is relatively familiar with many of the current forces in Qingfeng. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, the Qingfeng Empire was on the verge of subjugation, but Hetao Haotian
The miraculous rise of the Qingfeng Empire has postponed this trend for several years. However, the imperial court has been hard-pressed to return. Although it is still struggling to support it, it is just support. The only thing worthy of his attention in the Qingfeng Empire now is Qinchuan Road
The Li family of Hetao and the Haotian of Hetao. The Li family has accumulated a hundred years of accumulation and is now in the heart of the Qingfeng Empire. Many surrounding forces are still allies, so they can relax and accumulate strength. Moreover, Li Xiaomo is also a young hero, Li
On the surface, the Li family is now actively fighting jointly with the imperial court, which has also won a lot of popular support for the Li family. If there are changes in the imperial court, the Li family will definitely be the fastest to respond.
Although the rise of Hetao was very short, it only happened in the past few years. However, their achievements were particularly tragic and glorious. The Battle of Hukou established Haotian's status as a national hero and at the same time established Haotian's status as a national hero.
The combat effectiveness of the Hetao army has reached its peak. Haotian is also the youngest and most loyal minister of the Qingfeng Empire. However, Pu Zhicheng has always believed that before the threat to the Hetao from the six tribes outside the Great Wall is completely resolved, there will be no relationship between him and the Hetao.
There will be some intersection. I just didn't expect that the Hetao army would move south so quickly.
From the bottom of his heart, Pu Zhicheng really didn't want to start a war with Qingfeng. He was very satisfied with Jinhua's status as a vassal state of Qingfeng. After all, Qingfeng was too big. The Jinhua dynasty had accumulated national power for nearly a hundred years, and its population was only
It has just exceeded 10 million, and its total military strength is only 300,000. Although the Qingfeng Empire has lost the fifth Hebei Road, Jiangnan Road and Yangzhou Road, it still has a population of at least 70 million. And the several local lords of Qingfeng, which
One of them has hundreds of thousands of troops. With the combat effectiveness of Jinhua's soldiers and Jinhua's current national strength, I am afraid that fighting alone is not the opponent of any of the four vassal towns.
Moreover, the resilience of the Shenzhou clan is really too strong. Their nation has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, but every time they are able to stand up from the ruins and become powerful in the world. However, the words of His Majesty the King really moved his heart.
If they win the battle, they will be able to get the entire Great Lakes Road or even half of the Jiangnan Road. In that way, Jinhua's national power will definitely be greatly improved. Dominating the south of the river will no longer be a dream. And if they lose this battle, they will not be able to win the battle.
Mostly it was an apology from the previous letter. The Shenzhou Dynasty has always loved face, so it will definitely not add more in the future. And all the gold and silver property obtained in the war does not even need to be returned. Under such temptation, Park Zhicheng did not resist in the end.
The lobbying of His Majesty the King and Mitsukoshi took the lead in starting a war with Qingfeng. But what they did not expect was that the usually kind and kind old man Ouyang Jingzhong on the Xijiang defense line was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He became stronger with age.
Under the defense of Ouyang Jingzhong, the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces have been blocked on the south bank of the Xijiang River for several years. The Hetao Army actually responded to the court's call and traveled thousands of miles to come to rescue.
Park Zhicheng did not have any extravagant hopes for the head-on collision between the Huoliangjin and Hetao armies. Whether it was the individual combat capabilities of the soldiers or the spirit of teamwork, the Jinhua army was completely unable to compare with the Qingfeng Empire. At least when compared with Jingnan Gong
When Ouyang Jingzhong fought, Pu Zhicheng was shocked by the quality displayed by Qingfeng's Southern Army and the local garrison. After the Battle of Hukou, the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army had obviously been greatly improved. Pu Zhicheng estimated that the current
The combat effectiveness of the Hetao army is at the same level as the Qingfeng Southern Army. However, Park Zhicheng believes that Huoliangjin can still sustain it for a period of time. After all, the Hetao army is a surprise attack, so the number will definitely not be too large.
The army went all the way north, and when it reached the boundary of Yangshui Cliff, Pu Zhicheng was suddenly shocked. A lot of trees on the road ahead seemed to have been cleared, and there seemed to be a strong murderous aura coming from Yangshui Cliff. Could it be that there was an ambush?
Due to the soldier's intuition, Park Zhicheng immediately waved his hand to stop the army. However, at this time, two thousand-man teams had already entered the canyon area of Yangshui Cliff. Yangshui Cliff is a canyon with a total length of about one thousand meters, and the bottom of the valley is about
It is more than two feet wide. On both sides of the canyon are cliffs with very steep slopes. The two cliffs are like a gate, facing the golden flower army fiercely. Such terrain is not uncommon in the Nanling Mountains. It can only be
There are not many canyons with such long lengths. Although the boundaries of Nanling are rugged, the relative height of the mountains is generally not large, and rarely exceeds 100 meters. Before the war between Jinhua and Qingfeng broke out, this place had always been Jinhua
The area is an important trade channel leading to the South Yunnan Road. The Ancient Tea Horse Road, which began in the era of the Junlintianxia Empire, leads through this area to the ancient Mauryan Dynasty in the southwest, and then to the distant Central Continent and Western Continent.
Looking at the two thousand-man team who had entered the canyon, Park Zhichen originally wanted to order them to come back immediately, but he hesitated and finally did not give the order. If there was really a danger, then let them go and take a look.
It's also a good thing.
As expected by Park Zhicheng, as soon as the tails of the two thousand-man troops entered the canyon, countless stones rolled down the cliff on one side of the canyon. Under the influence of huge gravity, even though they were only watermelon-sized stones, they rolled down.
However, the lethality was particularly huge. And there was no way to escape from the canyon. Except for some clever soldiers, most of the soldiers were smashed into pieces by stones on the spot and fell to the canyon without saying a word.
among.
Pu Zhicheng was shocked when he saw this. It seems that he really met his opponent today. Of the cliffs on both sides of the Amniotic Water Cliff, the one on the left is obviously much steeper and higher than the one on the right. If the opponent deliberately ambush, then naturally
It is impossible to just set up an ambush on one side. And the falling rocks just rolled down the cliff on the left, which only shows that the ambush on the left is too impatient. Otherwise, wait until the Golden Flower Army has passed halfway through.
If a rolling stone falls, the Golden Flower soldiers who are cut into two parts will definitely panic. It seems that the real opponent is on the gently sloping cliff on the right.
Although he doesn't know where this army comes from, Pu Zhicheng is sure of one thing, that is, this is definitely not the tribal private soldiers of the five tribes in southern Yunnan. Because among them, there are no such calm generals. Shen Sheng
After a moment, Park Zhicheng waved his hand, and the army began to surround the cliff on the right.
"General, why do we want to attack this mountainous area here? Isn't there an ambush here?" a staff officer asked cautiously.
"There is no ambush?" Pu Zhicheng smiled contemptuously: "If my general's prediction is correct, the opponent's main force is on the cliff here."
The staff officer said doubtfully: "But there was no stone falling here just now."
"This is the opponent's brilliance. The cliff on the left is steep and narrow. In addition to enough rolling rocks, it is the limit to be able to deploy two thousand people. The cliff on the right has a gentler slope and clearer layers, which is most suitable for sniping the opponent one after another.
Since I am determined to snipe here, I will never let go of this cliff here."
The staff officer was still a little puzzled: "Then if that's the case, why do we still attack him? General Huoliangjin is desperate?"
Pu Zhicheng rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that this staff officer could be such an idiot. He was originally prepared to whip him, but as a general in the kingdom who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, he still has the necessary grace and tolerance to tolerate others.
He must have it. He cursed an idiot in his heart, and then Park Zhicheng said: "This road is only more than two feet wide. It will be at least an hour before all of our 50,000 troops can pass through. And since the other party
We have already made preparations, so the number of rolling stones and trees on the cliffs on both sides will not be too small. If necessary, the other party can even block the road with rolling stones and trees. If we take a detour, not to mention how much time will be wasted.
It feels really uncomfortable to have a nail driven into the back. And if we are not careful, we will be trapped in a situation where we are attacked from both front and back. Although they have a good location when attacking the cliff from the front, there will not be too many people. Otherwise, there will not be too many people.
Our intelligence department will not be without some forebodings. And we now have a strength advantage, and mountain warfare is our strength. As long as we can pull out the nail on the right, there is nothing to fear on the left."
The staff officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "But how much time will it take? What should General Huoliangjin do?"
Pu Zhicheng said coldly: "As a soldier of the kingdom, you should have the consciousness to die in battle and be wrapped in horse leather. Besides, if the 50,000 elite army cannot hold on for even one day, then even if he dies, he will still deserve to die." At this point Pu Zhicheng said
