After passing through a group of lakes called "Wuhai", the surging Beihe River is already in front of you.
In fact, ‘Wuhai’ and Beihe are twin sisters.
Wuhai is the product of the flood of Beihe River. At some point, Beihe River will connect with Wuhai, forming a huge lake country.
A hundred miles back along the Beihe River, Honghu Fortress appeared in front of the Han army.
At this time, Honghu Sai has lost its former splendor and only remains in ruins.
The Huns did not know how to maintain the fortress and simply maintained its existence.
Not long ago, the battle between the Han and Huns completely turned the remains of King Zhao Wuling into ruins.
Looking at this once magnificent fortress, Yi Zong pondered a little.
Since leaving the fortress, Yi Zong has seen the desolate appearance of many of the ancient cities of Qin and Zhao.
In Jiuyuan City, only two low earth walls remain.
Siyang City completely disappeared, leaving only a few tiles scattered in the grass.
Now, even Honghu Fortress has become a ruin.
What about Gaoque City?
What will the Gaoque City that was once carefully maintained by the Qin people and regarded as the fulcrum of the Qin Great Wall look like?
Also, these once famous and majestic cities fell into ruins within seventy or eighty years.
Just like the Chaoge of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the Haojing of Zongzhou was covered by green grass and buried by loess.
So, are there any immortal things in this world?
This made Yi Zong feel a little emotional and a little scared.
This reminded him of Zhou Yangyou, whom he once regarded as his enemy.
Back then, he lived just to take revenge on Zhou Yangyou.
But now, Zhou Yangyou's bones may have rotted away.
Heroes, immortal achievements, fortified cities, and immortal hegemony all eventually dissipate over time.
Yi Zong is afraid that thousands of years from now, people will forget him and his career today.
Just like Qin Kai, the general of Yan State whom Yi Zong admired.
"Perhaps, I should suggest to Your Majesty that in the future, a commemorative building be built in this land between the rivers to forever commemorate the heroes who are buried here..." Yi Zong flashed his eyes: "Just like the one standing in Incheon Port
The group of building and boat statues..."
This kind of suggestion was mentioned before after the Mayi War.
However, due to various reasons, it is still only a proposal and cannot even enter the court meeting.
However, after taking Gaoque this time, Yi Zong believed that no one would dare to block the relevant proposals.
Anyone who blocks it is making enemies of the world.
When the army under the command of Yi Zong arrived, the cavalry left behind by Cheng Bushi immediately went out to meet them at Honghu Fortress.
"The general has seen the general of chariots and cavalry!" A Han army cavalryman who stayed behind at Honghu Fortress came to Yizong, made a military salute, and reported: "General Cheng asked the general to tell the general: Gaoque City has been
There is no need to worry, general, please be prepared to hunt down the remaining Xiongnu enemies after Gaoque City is broken!"
Yi Zong nodded, he already knew that across the river, the Han army was building a terrible siege weapon.
According to the Mohists, even Hangu Pass would be vulnerable to that kind of weapon.
As for Gaoque? Its fall is only a matter of time.
Although I don't know what kind of weapon it is, the Mo family never lies, and no one would dare to lie or deceive on such a big matter.
Therefore, Gaoque must fall.
The main responsibility of the Han army, especially the Yi Zong Division, is to keep the Huns as close to Gaoque as possible after the city of Gaoque is broken.
This was also the strategic mission of the Han army assigned by the emperor for the Gaoque battle. It was not just to capture Gaoque and retake the homeland of Qin and Zhao.
What's more, we should try our best to eliminate the Xiongnu's effective force through the battle of Gaoque.
The Battle of Heyin only severely damaged two Xiongnu cavalry, annihilated one, and forced the landing of another.
Among them, there are only two in the Xiongnu headquarters.
This is far from achieving the strategic goal of the Han family to go out of the fortress.
According to pre-war estimates, the Han army would annihilate at least four of the Huns' ten thousand cavalry and severely injure four more.
Because, if the battle of Gaoque goes well, then from now on, there will not be many opportunities to fight like this again.
In the war chess game in Chang'an, the worst situation for the Han Dynasty was that the Huns would abandon the entire southern part of the curtain and rush to the northern part of the curtain. With the help of the cover and isolation of the curtain, they would run the Western Regions, suck blood through the Western Expedition, and compete with the Han Dynasty.
Home versus consumption.
Once that happens, it will be a disaster for the Han Dynasty!
And the probability of such a situation occurring was extremely high in the Han Dynasty’s deductions!
Once this happened, the Han Dynasty lost the possibility of quick victory.
The Han-Hungarian War will enter a terrible and difficult tug-of-war.
This time out of the fortress, in order to send 50,000 troops outside the fortress to fight the Xiongnu, the Han army mobilized almost half of the northern country and almost drained the national treasury.
If the expedition is thousands of miles away, the cost will probably increase exponentially!
Therefore, in order to achieve the strategic goal of quick victory, the Han army must destroy the Huns' effective forces as much as possible under Gaoque City and prevent them from returning to the grassland.
Letting go of a Huns cavalry here may require spending several times the resources today to eliminate them in the future.
"Has the specific map of Gaoque City and its surroundings been mapped out?" Yi Zong asked.
"Reporting back to the general, this is the map of Gaoque Baili area surveyed and mapped by Kan Yusi of the Shaofu!" Upon hearing this, the Sima took out a map from his arms and handed it to Yi Zong.
Yi Zong took it, looked at it, and then ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, sets up camp, and crosses the river tomorrow!"
Therefore, the main force of the Han army led by Yi Zong set up camp on one side of Honghu Fortress.
At the same time, Yi Zong took the Gaoque map that had just been drawn and studied it.
The map drawn by Kan Yusi of the Shaofu is an extremely rare treasure even in Chang'an.
Almost every member of Kanyusi is a famous Feng Shui master in the county.
These Feng Shui masters are good at observing the terrain and have profound geographical attainments.
However, in the past, they relied on their knowledge and talents to engage in deception and deception.
Until, when the emperor came to power, he recruited these giants of the Kanyu sect and made them professional map surveyors of the Han family.
Looking at the map, Yi Zong fell into deep thought.
From the map, Gaoque Fortress looks like a gate, blocking traffic from the north and south of Yangshan Mountain.
If you want to cross Yangshan, you have only two choices.
1: Cross the valley road behind Gaoque City.
Two: Make a large circle of hundreds or even thousands of miles, from the other side of the grassland, through Yinshan Mountain and into the south bank of Gaoque.
There is almost no third option.
Because Beihe and Yangshan jointly blocked this possibility.
Beihe, east of Gaoque, makes a huge bend and forms a huge gap.
The rolling river water roared and rushed downward.
Just like Longmen Canyon, any attempt to bypass Gaoque becomes impossible.
Unless the Han army can fly.
Otherwise, the only option is to storm Gaoque.
At least, there is no second road besides Gaoque on this map.
Of course, if you can browse Yangshan Mountain, which is as high as hundreds of feet or even hundreds of feet, it will be another story. (~^~)
