When the tired bird enters the forest, the autumn sun sets in the west, clouds cover the sky, and the trees are filled with mountains. On the plank road to Sichuan, the pursuit that lasted for nearly half a day has come to an end. The smell of blood gradually dissipates under the blowing of the autumn wind, and the killing
Although the sound stopped, the surrounding birds and beasts still stayed away from each other, and the sporadic chirping of cicadas conveyed a sense of desolation and caution.
More than fifty miles south to Sanquan Pass, the plank road has been cut off. Further south, under the orders of Shu general Wang Shenchao, the plank road was either burned or demolished and the plank road was completely destroyed. Under the leadership of Wang Shenchao, the Shu army was on the border.
Withdraw and destroy, stop in one place, and burn a stack, just like lighting up a bright lamp one by one, stretching for more than 20 miles, all the way to the Tianling Mountains. The smoke and fire are blazing, as if competing with the setting sun that reflects the red mountains and forests.
.
Standing in front of the cut-off plank road, the fire at the first burning point has weakened, but the rising black smoke and permeating heat can still be felt. The already dark face was inevitably smoked deeper, and Murong Chengtai was covered with smoke.
With strong blood energy, he couldn't help but cursed: "These Shu troops are really hateful. How can you not feel bad if the plank road that you worked so hard to build is destroyed like this?"
After the Sanquan Pass was broken, Murong Chengtai was ordered by Wang Renzhen to lead his troops across the pass to the south. In addition to chasing the defeated soldiers, his main purpose was to seize the plank road between Sanquan and Sichuan Village to avoid being attacked by them.
Burn.
The things that the Shu army can think of can also be thought of by the Han army. In order to destroy Shu, the Han army has been fully prepared for the past three years from the imperial court to the southwest, knowing itself and the enemy. For the army that defeated Shu, Shu
Although the army's city gates are dangerous, it is not something to worry about. No matter how strong the city is, it still needs people to guard it. When it comes to generals and soldiers, the gap between Han and Shu is as big as clouds and mud.
Therefore, the smoothness of roads and the protection of baggage were the key to the battle to destroy Shu. After breaking through Sanquan Pass, Wang Renfan made a decisive decision and sent Murong Chengtai southward without even bothering to clear out the remaining enemies in the pass.
However, I hurriedly pursued, but I didn't expect that I was delayed by reinforcements and successfully destroyed the plank road.
"General, the remnants of the enemy in the road have been eliminated, and more than 200 people have been captured alive. It's a pity that Liu Tingzuo, his supervisor, escaped!" A subordinate battalion general stepped forward with the evil spirit after the war and looked towards Murong Cheng who stopped to look south.
Tai said.
"Kill them all!" Murong Chengtai heard this and said with murderous intent: "If these defeated troops hadn't stopped them, I would have chased them all the way to Mantian Ridge!"
After listening to the order, knowing that Murong Chengtai was depressed, the camp general still cautiously advised: "General, the commander-in-chief has strict orders. You cannot do this killing of prisoners!"
To exchange good books, follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and receive cash red envelopes!
Of course, Murong Chengtai was just unhappy in his heart and vented his anger. He immediately said: "Leave one battalion to rest and patrol on the spot to ensure the plank road to avoid accidents. The remaining people will take care of the fallen brothers and take the wounded soldiers with them."
, seize it, return to Sanquan Pass!"
"yes!"
After autumn, the sky was obviously getting dark quickly. With a depressed mood, I walked along the night road with the cool breeze blowing and returned to Guancheng.
Sanquan City, leaning against Jigong Mountain in the south and Jialing River in the north, is named after Sanquan Mountain. If Lizhou occupies the main road of Shu and strangles the northern throat of Sichuan, then Sanquan is the mouth of Lizhou. To the southeast is the Micang Mountains.
If you want to enter Sichuan, this is the only way to go, and it is also an important place that the Han army must capture in the first battle.
After half a day of cleaning up, the city gates had been cleared and completely brought under the control of the Han army. The captives of the Shu army were stationed outside the city and set up separate camps to guard them. The army attacking Shu had also arrived one after another under the leadership of the generals, and the camp was
Guannan.
Xiang Xun, the commander-in-chief of the Han army who was conquering Shu this time, was also welcomed into the city by the vanguard general Wang Renfan. The gate tower in the north was covered with scars of the war. The blood had not dried, and the dust and smoke were rising. Although the corpses had been cleaned, the remaining
The traces all show the intensity of the fighting.
"The defenders of Sanquan are resisting very tenaciously!" Xiang Xun said, donning his military uniform and looking majestic as he observed the traces of the battle.
Wang Renfan made great achievements in the first battle and was in a good mood. He said: "Li Jin claimed that he was a warrior in Shu, but he was nothing more than that. In the end, he could not defeat my Han warrior and was beheaded by Zhang Qiong. It can be seen from this that there is no one in Shu.
An unknown person dares to call himself a general."
After hearing what he said, Xiang Xun asked: "How many casualties were there in this battle?"
"We have been fiercely attacking for days, killing 263 people, and the total number of minor and serious injuries is more than 500!" Mentioning the casualties, Wang Renfan lamented: "However, we made a lot of gains, killing more than a thousand enemies, capturing more than 700 people, and seizing 50,000 dendrobium of grain.
.The Shu army is here, and there is quite a lot of food stored there!”
"The casualties are not small!" Xiang Xun said, but he still expressed his affirmation of Wang Rengan's victory in this battle: "However, this battle is of great significance, and it demonstrated the prestige of our Han army. Sanquan Pass can be said to be solid, and it is still
Within a few days, it was defeated by our army, which was enough to warn the Shu army in Zhuchengzhai that three years later, they are still no match for our army! After that, the enemy team will be timid at first!"
"What Dushuai said is true!" Wang Renfan said.
"All the casualties and casualties are heroes of the Han Dynasty. They should be recorded in the book together with the meritorious soldiers and reported to the court for reward after the war!" Xiang Xun instructed.
"The last general has gone to the army to comfort the military officials and make a register!"
"Okay! Where's Zhang Qiong? He should be the first to break the city and kill the general in this battle!" Xiang Xun asked.
Upon hearing this, Wang Renfan chuckled and said: "While he was recovering from his injuries in the camp, he personally took the lead and took the lead. He climbed to Guancheng three times in a row and was wounded several times!"
"Is it seriously injured?"
"The knife on the chest was a little heavy. If it weren't for the protection of the breastplate, it would have been cut open! This Zhang Qiong is really brave. When fighting, he doesn't even care about his life. He charges harder than his subordinates!" Wang Renfan's tone was full of emotion.
Appreciate.
"In our Han army, there is no shortage of these generous and heroic warriors, who can break through the barriers and seize the stronghold and win the battle! They should be highly commended!" Xiang Xun said.
"Yes!" Wang Renfan immediately agreed.
Wang Renfan has now reached a certain status in the Han army. He is a senior general. He no longer needs to be in charge and fight on the front line like in the past. The perspective of looking at the problem is also different. Of course, he also hopes that, like
The more generals and commanders like Zhang Qiong, the better.
Of course, it is not humane to think how he sees it in his heart. After all, Zhang Qiong is a person close to the emperor. He once served as a general of Su Wei, but he still can only rely on his bloody bravery to establish himself. A high-ranking general will naturally admire and admire him, but he also
It is a pity. Of course, there is indeed a shortage of such generals in the army.
"Where is Murong Chengtai?" Xiang Xun was concerned about this nobleman in the army.
Wang Rengan reported: "After breaking through the pass, I want to send generals out to pursue the defeated army and occupy the plank road. Murong Chengtai took the initiative to ask for orders. I asked him to lead the third battalion of troops to Ma Nan. Look at the time, it is time to come back!"
"Well done!" Xiang Xun said.
"Guan Ya has been cleared, so we can prepare the camp for the central army. Please move forward!" Wang Renfan said.
"good!"
The simple Sanquan County Government Office was occupied by Han soldiers. The place where military orders for tens of thousands of troops came from was a safe place, and it was extremely tightly guarded. Everything such as the commander's case, the scepter, the order talisman, and the map were all ready.
Not long after he sat down, Gao Huaide, the warden of the camp, and Zhang Mei, the camp transfer envoy, entered together. This time, Gao Huaide, who was accompanying the army as the deputy commander of the expedition to Shu, went directly to lecture and said: "All the armies have been settled. The Forbidden Army and the Hanzhong barracks are in the pass. The remaining
They are all stationed in the south of the city."
"There is nothing wrong with General Gao commanding the generals and arranging their affairs!" Xiang Xun said with a smile.
This time, Xiang Xun's troops to attack Shu on the northern route totaled about 40,000 infantry and horsemen. They were composed of the Xingjie Forbidden Army, the Hanzhong Army, the Southwest Camp, Huaide and Huaiwei. Of course, these were only soldiers.
Tens of thousands of civilians were called into service.
Next to Gao Huaide was an ordinary-looking middle-aged general, Zhang Mei. He was a member of the Three Divisions. He was recommended by Xue Juzheng, the prime minister, to work in the southwest. He was initially the southwest grain envoy, and now he is in charge of the entire army of Shu.
The distribution and supply of food, machinery, chariots and horses were under the management of the conscripted men. He was quick and capable, and was well organized, with no shortage, and was highly praised by Xiang Xun.
"The five thousand civilians who accompanied the army have been settled, and their baggage has entered the city, and the food and equipment have been seized and accepted. The remaining people should come with the baggage and escort them. A total of six thousand light vehicles were built this time.
Although the load capacity is not much, it is convenient for transporting between mountains..." Zhang Mei said.
"Leave the grain, grass and supplies to Commander Zhang, and the generals and I will have nothing to worry about!" Hearing this, Xiang Xun said with a smile.
"You're all so handsome, I don't dare to accept it!" Not daring to make excuses in front of Xiang Xun, Zhang Mei responded modestly: "But the Sichuan Road is difficult to travel. The further south you go, the farther the road is and the more difficult it is to transport people and animals.
Be more!"
"It doesn't matter. After we capture Lizhou, we can mobilize the people nearby. It's autumn, and when we overcome the mountain obstacles, we can even send grain to Shu. During the period, our army can collect the grain, money and goods!" Xiang Xun said.
Before long, the sergeant came to report that Murong Chengtai had returned from chasing the enemy and summoned him for questioning.
Seeing Xiang Xun, Murong Chengtai's mood improved a little, and he told the result of the battle: "Sanquan's defeated soldiers were basically wiped out. Unfortunately, a Shu army came to help. I took advantage of the chaos to attack and defeated them.
There were hundreds of soldiers. But the Shu generals were more cunning and escaped quickly and burned down the plank road. Therefore, only about fifty miles of the passage were saved, and troops were left to guard and patrol!"
"If you fail to do your best, please punish me!"
After listening to his narration, Xiang Xun laughed and said to Murong Chengtai: "It is a great achievement to be able to protect fifty miles. Fortunately, we pursued the victory while we were victorious. Otherwise, if the reinforcements of the Shu army approached, the plank road would be completely destroyed! The three springs are far away from Mantian Ridge.
The twists and turns are less than eighty miles. The remaining twenty miles of mountain road can be opened by ordering people to build stacks!"
