Chapter 5885: Great Siege

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Wulong Mountain was the original junction of Dai and Qing. Wulong Mountain was like five wandering dragons that penetrated from Dai to Qing. It also gave rise to the terrain of Maoling County with many desolate ravines.

There are four paths between the five dragons. In fact, of the four strong paths, only two are relatively wide and can allow soldiers to pass through with weapons and equipment. Of the other two, one requires climbing mountains and ridges, and the other is completely

It was supported by a plank road, so when the army moved north, it was just a matter of thousands of troops who went over and destroyed the plank road. In this way, two roads were destroyed, making it impossible to cross at least for a short time.

There are fortresses built by the two countries on the remaining two paths. Wulong Fort is the one to the south. Because Huang Sen's troops are so fast, he assembled the army and deliberately changed into the clothes of Dai Guo soldiers and came from Dai Guo Er, and directly deceived Wulong.

He opened the gate of the fort and quickly occupied Wulong Fort. Then he asked Che Xun and Zhou Chengzhi to take the troops and the guards of Wulong Fort to deceive the north path of Bailong Fort. So, it seemed a bit incredible.

Yes, Dai Guo was cut off from the army in Maoling County.

Although the three northwest counties of Qing State are all connected to Dai State, they are blocked by Fengshui County and Fenghu Lake. Dai State's navy is really not that good. To go further south, you have to go from Chongshan County. The place where the border with Qing State is originally towering

It is difficult to get over the mountain range, and even if you get over it and go north, it will be like sending the army into the mouth of the Wei Dynasty.

The current situation has become that since you can't defeat it, you will simply be trapped to death. You are blocked on both sides and cannot transport supplies in. The rest of the place is a thousand miles of dry and uninhabited Gobi. What's more, after passing through, it is also the place of Daxia, Xiaoxia

It is also possible that Che Xun will be asked to transport supplies from Xiaoxia, and the supplies will also be transported there.

To be able to do this, Huang Sen did indeed do so after being prepared. Shu Yan mobilized some people in Qing State to get along with each other and send people to Chexun territory, a frontal weak attack, and also brought minimal damage to Tong Cong.

Pressure, coupled with the fact that Dai Guo and others are really good at fighting, then that situation will no longer exist.

The territory of Maoling County is large, but it is too desolate. The north is not actually the Gobi anymore. There are people thousands of miles away. The only place that can support people is a large plain in the middle, and there is not much space between the ravines.

It is wrong to be able to grow something and feed eight or seven hundred thousand people in total, but at present, there are only 700,000 chariots and a small army, and there are not some people in the Qing Kingdom, and more importantly, there are no war horses and other livestock.

It needs to be fed, and it is impossible for a small army of 700,000 to farm.

Maoling County is a strategically important area. It can resist Xiaoxia's possible invasion to the north, and it can even resist Che Xun's entry from the north to the west. However, as a dead area, it is a very scary thing for Che Xun's small army of 700,000 people.

If the small-scale mobilization of the 700,000-strong army was concealed from Huang Sen, it must have been on a large-scale. Shu Yan did not mobilize the people of Qing State, and he would completely kill the 700,000-strong army.

It was precisely because Huang Sen did not have such conditions that he decided on that huge siege.

In fact, Dai Jun, who is now in Maoling County, also understands that he must continue to go up. There is no way to do this. He can leave at least 70,000 horses to cut off and let the remaining people take the main road back over the mountains and ridges.

Tens of thousands of people cannot be said to have been sacrificed, but everyone is also a fool. Who is willing to stay and sacrifice? If the situation is tense, it is okay to temporarily deceive a few tens of thousands of people, but if the current situation continues for a while, even

Tong Cong's soldiers at the lowest level all know that if they stay here, they will not die. I am afraid that whoever is ordered to stay will surrender directly. Even if the lowest general who stays will surrender, the generals above who are trying to survive can't guarantee whether we will survive.

Che Xun naturally knew this, so he sent a small army to attack the two fortresses of Bailong and Wulong, and successfully cut off the transportation channel established between Wei and the 40,000 small army in early summer. After all, Xiaoxia

The only way to retreat to Chexun is by water. In fact, that road is very bad. There are no decent places under Fenghu Lake where we can't defend the ground offensive. On the contrary, we don't have the natural geographical advantage of being low on the lake, and

The lake shoreline is extremely favorable for landing operations, so the captured passage was also set back in Huang Sen's plan. For this reason, before seizing the two forts, he desperately tried to transport them towards the two forts in a month's time.

supplies and sent an additional 20,000 people there.

Of course Tong Cong also knew that if the 700,000-strong army was eaten by the other side, it would be a small blow to Che Xun, who already had a large population. After all, how many people would be consumed in the eight counties of Qing State?

It's just that the eight counties of the Qing Dynasty, generally Maoling County, are too important. Che Xun wants to throw it away, but he dares to throw it away, because once it is thrown away, Xiao Wei will kill Che Xun without any worries.

There is no possibility of national subjugation, not to mention that the two fortresses guarding the retreat into Chexun have been occupied, which is even more secure.

In this way, although there are two isolated armies, the so-called isolated army is not afraid of whether there will be reinforcements.

The reason why fewer troops were sent was because he was afraid that the small army of 700,000 Che Xun would invade Fengshui County again. After all, Huang Sen did not have a small army of 700,000 people, and the two fortresses could only accommodate 700,000 to 80,000 people.

People, and the number of people is too small, and the consumption of materials is also slow. Eighty thousand people is the best number of people calculated.

The drought made the already difficult situation in Maoling County worse, and supplies were cut off for eight months, and Che Xun's army was no longer shaken in military morale.

So Che Xun gathered 140,000 manas and chose one of the fortresses to attack. Because of Dai's reputation, usually when Che Xun's small army was defeated by Jiang Heng, it was Dai who was the first to turn the tide and lead the small army to charge out, so he chose

After all, the White Dragon Fort guarded by Tong Cong was damaged as long as one passage was opened. As for the other two, the plank roads were destroyed. It took eight years to think about whether to repair them, but whether there was a fight or not, relying solely on

When people go over mountains and ridges, the food that one person can carry is barely enough for people to eat on the road, which is meaningless. As for a small army of 700,000 people who have to take two roads to go out, whoever ends here will keep a close eye on the other.

The small army of Wei State will press forward step by step, and after leaving the defense line that has been built for a long time, Che Xun's small army can fight with the chased cattle and sheep. Therefore, it is a last resort, and Che Xun even dares to make a difficult choice to withdraw.

.

The two fortresses originally existed as important fortresses. They originally stocked a lot of supplies, usually because they had to transport supplies to Tong Cong's small army. They also became a temporary storage place. Therefore, the outside of the two fortresses

The food and grass were originally enough to feed 80,000 people for half a year at most, and with the frantic transportation of the next month, they were worried about whether they would have food and grass for two years.

Perhaps it was fate. When summer came, the entire northwest of Qing State faced drought. Maoling County originally had rain all year round, but there would be no rain in late spring and early summer. But this year, there was nothing.

As the generals guarding the city, one side has Dai Guo as the chief general, and the other side has Ning Lin as the chief general. Ning Lin has shown his determination to coexist with the city back then, and because of this, Huang Senna sent us there.
