Fengguchuan is the moat to the north of Jinyang City, and it is also an outlet among the continuous mountains in the western border of Jinyang. If you follow this river to the east, you can directly reach the northern part of Jinyang City.
When Li Tai led his troops into the valley, and took advantage of the situation to break through a small dock wall here, and confirmed from the prisoners that they had indeed entered the scope of the wind valley, he felt calm and could not help but secretly sigh that all the heaven and earth had come to help.
There are dangers when going deep behind enemy lines.
When the team broke out of Chiji Ridge, they chased the defeated troops for a distance, and then turned east. From Chiji Ridge to Jinyang, the actual distance was still nearly three hundred miles due to the rugged and winding road.
, it’s not long even if it’s long, and it’s not short even if it’s short.
Although Luo Chao had explained that there were no heavy troops guarding this area, the smooth journey ahead was still beyond Li Tai's imagination. They encountered no obstruction at all, so much so that Li Tai once wondered whether they were operating behind the enemy's rear.
Near Jinyang?
When he was blocked at Chiji Ridge, Li Tai couldn't help but think that the man left behind in Jinyang Bafu was a master tactician with perfect timing, but after learning the inside story of those troops, he was speechless.
, I just feel that he is a rigid person and lacks the ability to adapt to changes.
Especially to attract armed Hu merchants outside the Beishan Great Wall to join the war. What kind of smart mind came up with this idea? If you think I am a serious threat, then immediately send out elite troops to kill him. Otherwise, just stick to the territory.
The key is to block the hazard in a fixed area.
However, he took it for granted that his troops were vulnerable, and then acted smart enough to attract another troop that was neither controllable nor trustworthy. Isn't this because he was afraid that the rear area would not be lively enough?
Even if there were no oolongs infiltrated by Li Yunxin and others, rashly attracting outsiders into the hinterland would increase various unpredictable risks, unlike decisions made by a mature, steady, and experienced general.
The Fengguchuan area serves as the north gate of Jinyang. There are a lot of wall forts set up in the valley, one almost every few miles.
However, there were very few people stationed on the walls of these forts. Li Tai led his troops to sweep all the way in, hardly losing much time on the road, but he also gained almost nothing.
Although if it is properly arranged, it can also form an effective line of defense, but the terrain is not absolutely impenetrable. If it is really broken down one by one, it will become a blood-replenishing point for the intruders.
It can only be said that the guards here tend to be conservative and do not want to expose too many flaws. However, this style is contrary to the previous behavior of recruiting Hu Shang's armed forces as support. Although Li Tai made great progress all the way, he was not without success when he arrived here.
I'm confused, I don't know how Jinyang Liushou made the contingency decision, and it turned out to be so erratic.
When the team arrived at the mouth of the valley, the tall city walls of Jinyang City were already vaguely visible. There were no fires rising into the sky, and they were standing ready, but the fires that lit up at intervals on the city head also outlined the tall outline of the city.
Coming out, under the thick darkness of night, gave people a heavy pressure.
Luocheng in the north of Jinyang was built by Liu Kun in the Western Jin Dynasty to resist the Huns Liu Yuan's rebel army. Li Tai rushed out from Zuoguocheng in Liu Yuan's old city and now he is approaching Jinyang City. It can be said that he is going to
He single-handedly defeated both the pros and cons in one fell swoop.
Seeing that there was no defense at the top of the city and the atmosphere was like facing a powerful enemy, Li Tai felt unhappy. He immediately ordered his troops to rush out and the drums and horns sounded to create an atmosphere of overwhelming the army.
He currently has more than 3,000 men and horses, which is insignificant compared to the fortified city of Jinyang in front of him. However, if he just makes noise and makes noise, it will be enough to make the whole city panic and restless.
As the noise of people and horses continued to enter the city, the city was suddenly lit up with fire. This was to announce to the residents of the city that even if there were enemy invaders coming to disturb them, the city was still well guarded and there was no need to panic and wander around.
But despite this, the sudden dark clouds over the city also caused panic in the city to spread rapidly. The world has been in chaos for a long time, but thanks to the control of King Gao, Jinyang City has been free of military disasters in recent years, and now it is suddenly experiencing disasters.
The panic in their hearts naturally doubled. Therefore, many city residents ignored the orders and admonitions of the sergeants and rushed to the streets to wait and see for good or bad news.
By the blazing fire on the top of the city, Li Tai could also clearly see the layout under the city wall. Several trenches and horses were distributed layer by layer. In addition, the moat Fengguchuan was deliberately widened. Not to mention his mere 3,000 troops.
If you add another zero at the end, it will probably be impossible to break through the city.
But he was not marching here to attack the city. Taking advantage of the panic among the soldiers and civilians in the city, he ordered his soldiers to shout loudly into the city: "He Liuhun is so arrogant and unethical that he is a great thief of the country. He will take it upon himself."
Destroyed, the army has been defeated, and the jade is in front of the leader! A certain number of royal divisions were ordered by Prime Minister Yu Wen to advance here to kill the remnants of the Gao family and rescue the six states of Paoze! All the children of the six towns abandoned their weapons and did not die, so they dedicated the city with merit!"
After shouting such slogans, there was a sudden commotion on the city top. Many of the defenders were shocked and suspicious. Everyone knew that King Gao's army was heading south. If the army had not been defeated, how could these Western thieves come to Jinyang City?
But some people didn't believe this nonsense at all. According to the loud insults from the top of the city, Li Tai realized that the vocabulary of Xianbei dialect was not small, but it was not vivid and straightforward enough to express emotions.
He was not angry at these insults. Anyway, those who were scolded were the eighteenth generation of Yuwen Heita's ancestors. He further simplified the slogan, and continued to shout to the city uniformly with the rhythmic drum beat: "
Kill the Gao family and save Pao Ze! The soldiers will not die and the city will be dedicated with merit!"
As soon as this slogan was simplified, its effect was greatly increased, and all kinds of backlashes on the city were stopped.
As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling people, not to mention their hostile stance. These people still regard the survivors of the six towns as brothers, which is worth crying. If they still shout about beating and killing, they are really too much.
So ruthless. What crime do these enemies have? They are just their own masters. Even if they are at war with each other, they still can't bear to kill the townspeople and fellow villagers, and they still have to persuade them to surrender. They really...
As a result, the emotions changed, and the voices on the city walls were weakened, allowing these shouts to be transmitted into the city more unimpeded. After hearing these clear slogans, the people in the city suddenly became more panicked.
Shediqian originally wanted to hold on to the city and wait for dawn before arranging a counterattack, but he did not expect the enemy to act like this. Hearing the uniform sound of singing and drums outside the city, he was so angry that his brain ached. He looked around the city and the generals shouted loudly.
Said: "Who dares to go out of the city to fight and destroy the evil voice!"
At this time, all the generals on the city were filled with righteous indignation. When they heard what Shedigan said, they all came forward to ask for a fight.
Shedigan's eyes moved around the crowd, and finally fell on a young general. He motioned for him to come forward and said in a deep voice: "Although the thieves are coming from afar, their momentum is still weak. Just advance slowly and retreat.
Don’t be obsessed with long battles.”
The young man's name was Dugu Yongye, and he was the governor of the six states in Dingzhou. He was responsible for commanding the people from the six states who settled in Dingzhou. He was one of Shedigan's favorite subordinates. After hearing this, he quickly crossed his hands and said: "
The last general who receives the order will definitely live up to the Grand Master’s instructions!”
