Listening to Yuan Shu's instructions, the scout quickly informed all the information:
"In the land of Bashu, the state shepherd Liu Jiyu died recently, and his younger brother Liu Bang succeeded to the throne. However, not long after he took the throne, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong sent an army of 120,000 people out of Yangping Pass to invade the land of Brazil."
Hearing what the scout said, Yuan Shu frowned. He really didn't expect that the small Hanzhong could dispatch an army of 120,000 people. That guy Zhang Lu had such great abilities!
After that, Yuan Shu signaled the scouts to retreat and leave the information about the Bashu region behind.
The scout immediately retreated, and Yuan Shu, who looked unhappy, picked up the latest information on the Bashu region and read it carefully. The more he read, the more he became afraid of Liu Bang.
“The latest battle situation in the Bashu region is as follows:
In order to attack Yizhou, Zhang Lu, the Great Western King of Hanzhong, sent his confidants Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Jiayu as commanders, and then appointed the fierce generals Zhang Churang and Zhang Shan as the left and right vanguards. Zhang Shi was responsible for escorting baggage and food, Zhang Guowei and Yan
Pu serves as a military advisor and sends 120,000 troops out of Yangping Pass and all the way south, with the troops directed at Langzhong!"
Just when Yuan Shu was reading the Bashu intelligence in his hand, the system mechanical sound in his mind sounded at this moment. When he took a closer look, it turned out that it was because Zhang Lu's army was fighting with the Langzhong defenders. Generals Zhang Shan, Zhang Churang, and Zhang Xianzhong
Waiting for someone else's skills to activate...
"There are not many defenders in Langzhong. They are attacked by Zhang Lu's army. I'm afraid they won't hold out for long before they fall. Brazil County will become Zhang Lu's bag!"
If you continue reading, you will see the information: "Zhang Lu led a large army to attack Langzhong. Li Li, the defender of Langzhong, led 1,800 people in the city to defend against the city. In the end, he was defeated. He fought with all the soldiers to the end and fought hard.
He died of exhaustion, Langzhong fell, and the entire Basi County fell in just five days."
As expected, the Langzhong garrison could not withstand the attack of the 120,000 troops. Now that Brazil County has fallen, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Lu will issue an order and order the 120,000 troops to attack Jiange and seize Zitong!
After seeing the news about the fall of Langzhong, and the system display about the skills of Zhang Churang and Zhang Shan, Yuan Shu frowned and pondered for a long time, constantly deducing the changes in the battle between Bashu and Bashu in his mind.
"Just after Zhang Lu's army settled in Langzhong, Liu Bang in Chengdu reorganized the Yizhou army, and under the advice of counselors Chen Ping and Ji Xiaolan, he first assembled an army of 50,000 people, with Zhang Ren as the commander and Fan Kuai as the vanguard, and sent troops to Guangyuan
, trying to cut off the connection between Yangpingguan and Langzhong.
After that, Liu Bang used all his strength in Chengdu to raise an army of 80,000 men, led by himself, led by Peng Yue, Lu Wan, Ji Xin, Chen Ping, Ji Xiaolan, Hu Li, Lu Li, Yang Li, Yan Yan,
Wu Yi and other generals came out of Jiange and attacked Yangping Pass!
After learning the news, Zhang Lu's army in Langzhong immediately split into two groups. One group was led by Zhang Xianzhong, along with the fierce general Zhang Churang and a group of powerful generals, and led 50,000 elite infantry and soldiers to rush to support Guangyuan.
The other route was led by Zhang Shicheng, who led the fierce general Zhang Shan and led 60,000 infantry. They rushed on a starry night to support Yangping Pass!
As for Langzhong, Zhang Jiayu is responsible for guarding it. There are 10,000 soldiers, plus the 38,000 new soldiers recently recruited by Brazil County, it is more than enough to defend the city."
In the land of Bashu, the contest between Liu Bang and Zhang Lu officially begins!
At the same time, in the south of Yizhou, after Meng Huo and Fu Jian learned about the war between Zhang Lu and Liu Bang, they no longer had any worries and immediately sent their troops northward, heading straight for Nan'an County.
When the alliance army formed by Meng Huo and Fu Jian arrived near Nan'an County, they were ambushed by Kuafu, Li Dingguo, Zhou Bo, Shen Shiqi, Fu Kuan, and Jin She in a valley.
Countless sharp arrows and boulders fell from the mountain. In less than a quarter of an hour, the alliance army lost more than 8,000 men. Meng Huo's left arm was even hit by a stray arrow, and he was seriously injured, which greatly reduced his combat effectiveness.
!
They lost more than 8,000 people before they saw the enemy. This made Meng Huo and Fu Jian furious, but they had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the valley. After reorganizing their troops, they quickly crossed the valley and headed towards Nan'an County.
.
After successfully arriving in Nan'an County, Meng Huo and Fu Jian led their troops in formation and set up camp outside Nan'an County. They were ready for a protracted war!
The Yizhou defenders Kuafu, Li Dingguo and others in Nan'an County were extremely anxious, although Nan'an County was now built into a military powerhouse that could very effectively curb enemy invasion.
However, the current number of Nan'an County defenders is too small. Including the newly recruited soldiers and horses some time ago, the total number is 35,824. On the other hand, Meng Huo's alliance army is composed of barbarians alone.
Twenty-eight thousand, and Fu Jian had about thirty-four thousand people under his command.
It would be very difficult for Li Dingguo and the others to keep Nan'an County from falling, unless Liu Bang sent troops all the way south to support them. But now Liu Bang has been involved in the war, and the enemies are almost killing him. He has too much time to take care of himself, so why is he still there?
Air traffic control here in Nan'an County?
Just when Li Dingguo and the others were at their wits' end, a secret report came from Chengdu, which required them to defend Nan'an County for one month. As long as they lasted for one month, a large army would come to support them, and they would definitely be able to kill them.
The Nanman Army and Fu Jian's Army left no one behind!
Seeing that their lord had spoken, Li Dingguo and Kuafu looked at each other, and then began the pre-war mobilization and preparations in full swing. Generals Zhou Bo, Shen Shiqi, Fu Kuan, Jin She, etc. each performed their duties and guarded their respective positions.
Passages are blocked layer by layer to eliminate the enemy's strength and delay as much as possible.
On the road from the valley to Nan'an County, Kuafu and the others built three mountain strongholds and two stone forts before the war, and used horses to block the necessary places. This caused great difficulties to the Nanman Allied Forces and their march.
Troubled!
After the Nanman Allied Forces eliminated the resistance horses placed along the way, they first faced the first mountain stronghold where Kuafu and Zhou Bo were stationed. This mountain stronghold was built on the mountain and had a natural geographical advantage, allowing it to attack the invading enemies from a high position.
Fire a salvo.
If the Nanman Allied Forces wanted to reach Nan'an County, they had to conquer this stronghold. The defense strength of this stronghold was simply not high. At the cost of more than 3,000 soldiers, they successfully burned the stronghold and then continued to the next place.
Advance through the pass.
Kuafu, Zhou Bo and others delayed at the first mountain stronghold for five days, losing 3,000 soldiers and killing a powerful enemy general, and then successfully escaped to the second stronghold guarded by Shen Shiqi and Fu Kuan!
This second village is also called Panlong Village. It is also built on the mountain. Because the nearby mountains are winding, this village is called Panlong Village.
