Among them, Maolin Town and Yunling Town in the southwest of Jing County have the most complicated terrain.
Maolin Town is located in the mountainous area of southern Anhui, at the center of Huangshan Mountain and Taiping Lake. It is an important town in the southwest of Jing County. It is known as "a small Jing County town and a big Maolin Village". It is surrounded by green mountains and has two ancient streams, Dongxi and Dongxi.
hugging each other, forming the first natural barrier. Yunling Town is located fifty miles south of the west city of Jingxian County, with a total area of very large and wide
Guang. It is also adjacent to Dingjiaqiao Town in the east, Zhangdu Town and Zhongcun Township in the south, Beigong Township in the west, and Nanling County in the north. The territory is a hilly and semi-mountainous area, sandwiched between two green mountains, long from north to south, wide from east to west, and has fertile land.
, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is charming. The two mountains "Gu Si Gu" and "Yunling" face each other, and are known as the "Beauty in the Clouds, Wuli Mountain".
The middle area where Yunling Mountain and Maolin Town Mountain Area meet is also Zulang's base camp. Zulang built many houses and fortresses in this place with the mountains and the terrain. With the help of this complex and dangerous situation, Zulang
The terrain is covered with trees starting from the bottom of the mountain.
They set up camp in a dangerous area that stretches all the way to the top of the mountain. Zulang has been operating here for many years, and there is sufficient water and food. The regular Cao army, led by Pu Hu, was at a loss for what to do and tried to attack it several times, but failed.
Many people were harmed.
At this time, Zulang had led the Shanyue soldiers to hide in the mountains between Maolin and Yunling. His lair was located in an area called "A Line of Sky" by the locals. The environment was extremely dangerous.
If you want to attack the mountain, there is only one path in the entire area that can lead to the top.
.On both sides of the path, there are extremely steep and dangerous peaks. Even people like Cao Zhi and Pu Hu, who are skilled in martial arts and have strong light-weight skills, dare not try to climb easily. This is a bit like "a road in Huashan Mountain since ancient times"
"It means that stationing troops in such a place is absolutely easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Cao Zhi also understood the situation and environment of Zulang's base camp in detail under Pu Hu's introduction. He learned that the Shanyue people were not only as agile as apes in the mountains, but could jump vertically into the mountains and forests, and that they were both male and female.
As a soldier, you have reached the level where all the people are soldiers. Moreover, you do not follow the regular way of fighting. You will fight against generals and soldiers against soldiers.
Instead of killing, they hide in the dark, suddenly rush out, attack and kill, and then run away into the mountains and forests after killing the person. If you follow their figure and pursue them all the way, you will either fall into a trap or encounter another enemy.
The assassination of the Vietnamese troops in the mountains. Therefore, murderous intentions were hidden at every step during the advance. Pu Hu's soldiers lost their lives if they were not careful.
Rather than saying that they are an army, it is more appropriate to say that they are wild beasts hiding in the mountains and forests.
After a one-day visit, Cao Zhi also saw that the morale in Pu Hu's army was now relatively low. The soldiers may not be afraid of fighting with the enemy on the battlefield with real swords and guns, but they are extremely angry and don't know where this will come from.
The Shanyue warriors who came out are so afraid of entering the mountains now. Moreover, before Cao Zhi and others arrived, Pu Hu and his soldiers also captured dozens of Shanyue soldiers.
As late autumn turned to winter, these soldiers were still wearing tattered clothes that exposed their hands and feet. However, these soldiers were very arrogant and bloody. Once they were caught, they immediately tried their best to commit suicide and were never willing to be prisoners of Cao's army.
This also shocked Cao Jun's soldiers, making them both respectful and afraid. Everyone in the world admires bloody people, but at the same time they are most afraid of those who don't want their lives.
Hearing this, Lu Su didn't understand. He heard Cao Zhi say that this Pu Hu was also a Jiangxia barbarian whom he surrendered from Lujiang. Why could the barbarians not defeat Zu Lang when they had the advantage over the barbarians in terms of military strength and weapons?
Shanyue tribe.
Pu Hu was very embarrassed when he asked him, and lowered his head in embarrassment without saying a word. But at this time, Cao Zhi helped him explain that the Jiangxia barbarians that Lu Su saw now were no different from the Han people, because they had already been assimilated to the Han culture. Regardless of
From clothing, language, diet, appearance
Even the way of thinking is basically the same as that of the Han people. They no longer live in the mountains and forests, but live on the plains chasing water. Their fighting methods imitate the Han people's horse-riding formations, attacking cities and plundering territory, and jumping.
Between the mountains and forests, with almost primitive
They fight by hunting. Even the Shanyue people still retain their original language, and deliberately do not integrate the Jingxian dialect (a Chinese Wu dialect, also known as Wu dialect), which is the local language of Jingxian County. Therefore, the Shanyue people have a particularly strong national character and fighting ability.
Extremely strong and uncanny
No, they can't be broken up no matter how hard they fight. The previous Danyang governments were afraid of them, and the Han government also had a headache for these barbarians, so as long as they didn't go too far, they let them go, leaving Zulang and the Shanyue people
It is developing more and more powerful and arrogant.
After listening to Pu Hu and others' introduction, Cao Zhi also understood the situation of Zulang and the Shanyue people. That night, he ordered the troops to march all night and set up camp in the open areas outside Maolin and Yunling. Nearly 20,000 people
The army was divided into three directions: east, west and south to encircle
They arrived at the mountainous area where Zulang and the Shanyue tribe were hiding. During the march, the army only took the main road, detoured when encountering water, encountered forests, or was surrounded, and never took risks easily. Sporadic sneak attacks also occurred during the advance.
But when Cao Jun came, he had a large number of soldiers and horses.
Secondly, they move very slowly and carefully, and try to expose themselves in the open ground, so it becomes difficult for the Shanyue tribe to succeed in a sneak attack. Once that soldier screams or is attacked, the whole group will
Stop and join forces to strangle,
The Shanyue tribe jumped into the jungle, and the general ordered them not to pursue them. Instead, they looked in the right direction and fired with arrows and spears. They waited until it was safe before setting off. When encountering rivers or streams, Cao Jun was also strictly ordered not to drink alone.
Horses, or make more stops, to cross quickly.
When crossing Maolin Dongxi, a not very wide river, a cavalryman was in urgent need of urination. He fell behind for a minute while others were crossing the river and found a shelter by the stream to relieve himself. This man took the
He took out his shotgun and started to pee, suddenly
However, in the slow and calm stream in front of him, a burst of water bubbles rolled, and with a whoosh, a bare-chested black figure with a bamboo pipe in his mouth emerged from the water. The soldier did not even change the movement of peeing, and his neck quickly became wet.
A cut, blood
The water splashed out like an unscrewed faucet. The soldier only coughed twice from his throat, then fell into the stream and died. When other soldiers noticed that something was wrong here and rushed over, the murderer
The Shanyue soldiers jumped on early
On the shore, he disappeared into the jungle, leaving only the stream on the shore dyed bright red and the corpses of his companions. So later, the soldiers crossing the river were even strictly ordered to urinate together, and they had to urinate quickly and walk quickly.
Peeing by the river.
Although the advancement speed is very slow, it is safe and secure. At a very small cost, by the early morning of the next day, Cao Jun finally formed an encirclement of Maolin and Yunling. But the encirclement only refers to the enemy.
The outer perimeter of this area was encircled and some areas were occupied.
The traffic thoroughfare, the main entrance and exit of the mountain, controls several important rivers and the periphery of the forest. The core area where the real ancestor is is far away. Cao Zhi believes that there is no need to rush in now and wait for them to come up with a suitable attack.
The method is to kill and climb up the mountain before it is too late.
Zu Lang may also have discovered that Cao's army has increased its troops in large numbers. He also knew that he would never be able to defeat Cao's army in a head-to-head confrontation, so he gave up the fight for Maolin and the outskirts of Yunling and shrank his troops into the mountains.
Cao Zhi brought a temporary group of one thousand personal guards to an open area behind the Qingshi Mountain on the back of the Yunling Mountains, and set up his camp there. A place here is parallel to the Yunling Mountains.
Looking up from the high hill, one can already see the corners of the houses stretching seven or eight miles across the mountain and the white smoke that blows frequently, extending down the mountain. According to Pu Hu, that is where Zulang's base camp is. Cao Cao
Tomoya is great
Appreciate Zulang's way of relying on the mountains to support the people and the army. The mountains are not only the home of these Shanyue people, but also their military camps. When there is no war, they rely on the mountains and water to hunt and farm.
When a war breaks out, they use the mountains as a line of defense, rely on assassinations, surprise attacks, and defeat the invading enemies. The Shanyue people don't even have to worry about supplies. They can survive on many kinds of food in the mountains.
That night, Wang Ping's five thousand soldiers from Wanling also arrived. At this time, the total number of Cao's troops besieging Maolin in the mountains and forests of Yunling reached about 25,000. If you look down from the mountain, you can see that there are lanterns everywhere.
The tents that were set on fire were like dots, and the noise was huge.
At this time, standing on the mountain ridge, also observing the changes in the enemy troops below, were a man with disheveled eyes and a burly figure, and a small and exquisite woman with fair skin. Seeing so many troops stationed at the foot of the mountain, the woman couldn't help but
There was a slightly horrified expression on his face.
"Brother, the enemy has increased its troops, and the number of them seems to be quite good." The woman's voice was sweet and clear, with a sonorous and magnetic reverberation. God was so kind to such a Shanyue citizen.
The big man with shaggy hair glanced at the petite woman next to him, opened his mouth slightly, but the voice seemed to come from his abdomen, revealing his snow-white teeth that were glowing coldly for a moment, as if he was killing people and devouring them.
: "Why, are you scared?"
The small and exquisite woman immediately realized her weak expression and couldn't help snorting angrily. She took another step and said angrily with her hands on her waist: "Huh! Who said I'm afraid? It's that boy Cao Zhi, the prefect of Danyang."
I'm not afraid of you personally. Hey, if these useless Han soldiers dare to enter this mountainous area again, I'll make sure they never come back."
"Okay, haha... This is my ancestor's sister. She is ambitious, haha..." Jie Jie, a big man with long hair who claimed to be his ancestor, laughed heartily and at the same time, he also exuded a wave of energy.
The evil spirit of the array is so scary.
Just when Zu Lang and his sister thought that the 20,000 troops at the foot of the mountain would be defeated by them, Cao Zhi immediately held a meeting in the main tent after Wang Ping arrived to study how to break the mountain.
