Chapter 31 Chengdu, here I come!

Miao Bing had no idea how Luo Youdu knew the location of their Bazhai. He only had one idea in his mind, to act like a docile citizen, and to be filled with unrealistic ideas and operations that would only lead his people to destruction.

After Han Lingkun took over the city defense of Yuzhou, he arranged for soldiers to garrison and led the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom and some Central Plains soldiers of the Ba people to attack Zhongzhou.

Na Yoo-do has been building siege equipment outside Chungju City, planning to launch a final attack on Chungju.

Chungju is now full of sorrow.

Fan Yuquan immediately fell ill!

Of course he was pretending to be sick.

Ever since he learned that the Ba people had conquered Yuzhou and Li Yong had surrendered to the Central Plains, Fan Yujie knew that he had messed up the situation by giving random orders.

If we had followed Shi F's suggestion and retreated to Yuzhou first, this situation would not have happened.

He knew that he had no military knowledge, gave random orders, and made a mistake once.

I was embarrassed to interfere with Shi F anymore, and even more embarrassed to see him, so I simply pretended to be sick and hid in the house and never went out.

Shi Fang couldn't care less about him. Since the fall of Yuzhou, he had spent all his energy on appeasing the soldiers.

The terrain of Chungju City is complex, with cliffs to the north and the Yangtze River to the south.

The entire city has a long and narrow rectangular shape, with only the east gate and the west gate.

Now Luo Youdu is blocking the east gate, and Han Lingkun is occupying Yuzhou and blocking the west. With these two sides sandwiched between them, Chungju City has become a truly isolated city, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

The Shu soldiers in Shi F's hands were brave men recruited from Chengdu, and their relatives were all in Chengdu.

There is now a rumor circulating throughout Zhongzhou City that the Central Plains North Route Army, led by Gao Huaide, has broken through Jianmen Pass and is heading towards Chengdu.

At this time, the morale of Chungju was greatly reduced, and it felt like being besieged on all sides.

Shi F could only take the trouble to express his attitude again and again, encourage military morale, and write blank checks.

Shi F, who was slumped on the chair from exhaustion, didn't even take a breath when he saw his son leading someone into the house.

When the man saw Shi Fang, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed. His body couldn't help but tremble, as if he were possessed by a great god. He kept shouting: "Forgive me, General, forgive me. I don't dare to do it anymore."

"

Shi Fangqiang braced himself and said, "What's wrong?"

Shi Heng said: "This person's name is Lei Chenxuan. He is a ruffian from Chengdu. He is under the command of Zhao Mang Dutou. He spreads rumors in the army. Zhao Dutou caught him and sent him to me."

Shi F's face turned cold and he said: "It's this kind of indiscriminate fool that makes our army fall into rumors. Why keep it? Kill it directly!"

Lei Chenxuan was horrified and shouted: "I know my mistake, I really know my mistake. But I am really not talking nonsense. There is indeed a mountain road that can pass through Jianmen Pass..."

Shi F suddenly stood up, strode up to Lei Chenxuan, lifted him up from the ground, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no trail in Jianmen Pass..."

Jianmen Pass is the first fortress in Shu and is known as the best natural pass in the world. At the break of Jianmen Mountain, there are cliffs on both sides that go straight into the sky. The peaks lean against the sky like swords, and the cliffs are separated. The two walls face each other, and they are shaped like doors, so

It's called "Sword Gate".

This pass, which no one can open and no one can open, is the most powerful support for the separatist group in central Sichuan.

Since Jianmen Pass was built, there has never been a direct battle to defeat the pass.

All the examples of Shu's destruction were to find ways to bypass Jianmen Pass.

Let’s not talk about the example of Deng Aiqi crossing Yinping. When the late Tang Dynasty general Shi Jingtang led troops to attack Meng Zhixiang who wanted to separate the two Sichuan provinces,

Instead of attacking Jianmen Pass, we passed from Baiweiling to Rentoushan Mountain, followed Xiaojian Road to the top of Hanyuanyi Mountain, and then entered Jianmen Pass.

But since then, this small road has been blocked by Meng Zhixiang.

If there really is a path that can bypass Jianmen Pass, then Shu will really be helpless.

Lei Chenxuan said in a trembling voice: "Not many people know about this. I have an uncle who is a hunter in the Jianzhou Mountains. He accidentally discovered a trail. It didn't exist originally. More than ten years ago, the earth dragon turned over and shook out

A long and narrow path. Near Laisu Mountain. My uncle called him Laisu Path. During the Chinese New Year, he drank too much and heard him talk about it. I don’t know whether it was true or not.”

Shi F's face was pale. There was a rumor circulating in Chungju that there was a trail at Jianmen Pass that could go around Jianmen Pass.

This rumor actually matches what Lei Chenxuan said.

Shi Heng said in a trembling voice: "The child didn't sound like he was lying, so I brought him here..."

Shi Tie said with a livid face: "The matter at Jianmen Pass has nothing to do with us. Regardless of whether it is true or false, we just need to defend Zhongzhou. This man is deceiving the public with his evil words, so drag him down and behead him."

Seeing Lei Chenxuan's wailing appearance, Shi F sat slumped on the ground, his eyes blank. Based on his years of experience, this matter was probably true.

This is indeed true.

Historically, when the Song Dynasty destroyed Shu, general Wang Quanbin entered Shu and was unable to do anything when facing Jianmen Pass.

However, Meng Chang governed Bashu to such an extent that the people were angry and resentful, and the people's hearts were not at ease.

The locals told Wang Quanbin about Su Xiaotiao, and Wang Quanbin was able to lead his troops to bypass Jianmen Pass and open the passage into Shu.

Luo Youdu did not remember that the trail was called Laisu Trail, nor did he know where it was. He only remembered that it happened.

Therefore, Gao Huaide was notified before he went on the expedition, and asked him not to rush to attack the city after reaching Jianmen Pass, but to try to find out from the surrounding people whether there was a path that could bypass Jianmen Pass.

At this time, he has spread the true story in Chungju, and the impact on Chungju's morale can be imagined.

"Siege the city!"

Luo Youdu received the news that Han Lingkun had arrived to the west of Chungju and ordered an attack on the city.

Following his order, the rapid sound of war drums sounded loudly.

Attacking Zhongzhou is far less casual than attacking Yun'anjian.

Shi F is an experienced veteran. Wu Linyang cannot compare with the layout of city defense and offensive and defensive responses.

Luo Youdu did not arrange for the Central Plains troops to attack prematurely like he attacked Yun'anjian, but instead launched a tentative offensive with soldiers surrendered from Shu.

It was like this for three days in a row.

Luo Youdu sat high on his horse, looking at the battlefield ahead, squinting at the blurry figure on the tower, and said: "Tomorrow, we will officially attack. I just don't know if this old guy will show up at the east gate again."

There was a hint of smile in his tone...

There were not many capable generals in Shu, so Shi F guarded the east city gate to deal with Luo Youdu, and asked his son Shi Heng to deal with Han Lingkun at the west city gate.

In order to control the situation, Shi F asked Shi Heng to report on the enemy's offensive situation, their morale, and methods of approaching the enemy every day when he was free, and sent people to deliver it.

Chungju City is extremely long and narrow, with a distance of more than ten miles from east to west. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Faced with this situation, Shi F could only understand the overall situation in this way.

Looking at the battle report written by his son, Shi F took a long breath. It was just as he imagined.

The main offensive point in the Central Plains is at the east gate, where Luo Youdu is located.

The navy led by Han Lingkun played a diversionary role and was not the main point of attack.

After all, Han Lingkun didn't even have any decent siege equipment, so he couldn't attack the main force.

On the second day, while it was still dark, Shi Fang was awakened by the sound of war drums.

Looking at the soldiers at the bottom of the city tower, Shi Fang was not at all panicked. He was still a soldier from Shu, and he still made a tentative attack.

The stone f doesn't even burn gold juice. This thing is a big killer on the battlefield.

If the hot golden juice is poured onto someone else, the bacteria will cause the wound to fester, causing the person to die bit by bit. It is extremely powerful, so use it sparingly.

But burning gold juice in an empty space will cause evaporation waste...

With strict command, the troops will stop you and the water will cover you.

Luo Youdu found no opportunity to take advantage of, and the same was true for Liu Yu, the general who commanded the front line.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Luo Youdu said: "Inform Liu Yu and let our people go up."

After receiving the order, Liu Yu ordered the Shu Jiang soldiers on the front line to withdraw, and the ladders, m-carts, and wooden curtain cars were pushed from the back to the front of the formation.

Shi F's eyes were solemn, and he ordered people to boil hot oil and gold juice...

He knew the real test had just begun.

The performance of the Central Plains' powerful army and Shu's soldiers can be described as one day at a time.

The well-trained Central Plains troops have specially done siege training, and are comfortable in using ladders, M-carts and wooden curtain cars.

The strongest thing about veterans is their experience. When they should be timid, they will never stand up.

Hiding behind the wooden curtain car, the ladder, and under the M car, he hid himself tightly. No matter how dense the arrows on the tower were, or if there was any special situation happening outside, he would never poke his head out to take a second look.

When the wooden chariots, ladders, and m-carts approach the city wall, they will rush out without fear of life and death, screaming and doing what they are supposed to do.

Be cowardly when you should be cowardly, and be desperate when you should be desperate.

Only by mastering this can you truly survive the battlefield.

Shi F suddenly felt the pressure, and his face no longer had a calm expression. Instead, he roared in a rough voice, directing the soldiers to fight the enemy.

The Shu soldiers neglected to train, and Shi F's orders were issued in time, but the Shu soldiers were unable to respond to the orders in a timely manner.

You can't see it when dealing with Shu soldiers, but if you don't respond to the soldiers from the Central Plains in time, you can cause fighters to appear.

Shi F was tired of directing, and his voice became hoarse when he shouted.

"Report! General and Major General are asking for help. They have encountered a strong attack and are in critical condition."

Why did Shi F care so much? Uu Reading www.uukanshu.com shouted: "Let him fight to the death. They are just trying to contain him and tell him that my father believes in his abilities."

He ignored the messengers and continued running around the city.

It wasn't until an hour later that he heard the news that Chungju City Gate had fallen...

Shi F was like a bolt from the blue. Looking at the familiar messenger in front of him, he asked hoarsely: "Where's Heng'er!"

"The Major General died in battle!"

A thought flashed through Shi F's mind, maybe Ximen was the main attack point in the Central Plains, and he had miscalculated.

Luo Youdu looked at the Shu soldiers who had inexplicably collapsed the city tower, and said with a smile: "It seems that Marshal Han Dian has captured the west gate!" He paused and said: "Send the order and attack with all your strength!" He murmured in his heart: "Chengdu, I am here!

"

As Shi F finally realized, Han Lingkun was the main force in this siege.

Because the majority of Luo Youdu's troops were naval forces.

Most of the soldiers Han Lingkun brought to Yuzhou were infantry on boats, in order to deal with the Ba people who might have different intentions.

He never pinned his hopes of victory on others.
