Both of them looked at Li Chengqian with doubts on their faces.
Obviously, neither of them realized what Li Chengqian meant when he said this.
Li Chengqian smiled slightly.
"It's winter now, the weather is dry, and there are many pines and cypresses at the southern foot of Jianshan Mountain..."
Li Chengqian looked straight at the two of them and said, "Don't you think this is our opportunity?"
Of course now is not the best time to collect rosin.
But judging from the rosin stained on the drawing paper, there should be no less rosin in Nanlu.
Although rosin is not as effective as kerosene and other substances for burning fires.
But it's not much different.
As a result, the Shu army set up a joint camp in the ravine of Jianshan Mountain, which was like setting up a camp on a pile of firewood.
Li Chengqian laughed: "You guys think, if the entire Sword Mountain is on fire, how will the enemy crack it?"
After hearing this, the expressions of the two of them changed drastically.
He and the others immediately understood what tactics Li Chengqian was going to use.
The two of them also looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"We just need to put a big fire upwind."
"I'm afraid many people will be burned until their bones are left..."
Han Qilue was the first to speak: "If we can succeed, our army will definitely be able to break the current deadlock."
"I don't know if we can break the deadlock."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists: "But I know that if we succeed, they will lose, and our brothers will not have to fight with each other with their lives..."
Throughout history.
Jianmen Pass has never been attacked frontally.
But isn’t history created by people?
We can do things that our predecessors could not do.
We will create history that our predecessors could not create.
This guy doesn't follow the rules when it comes to fighting, and he has no tactics to speak of.
However, his seemingly random and whimsical tactics are often unexpected, and he has caught the enemy off guard several times. And this is not difficult to see from his previous battle histories.
At this moment, it is obvious that Li Chengqian used his unbridled imagination in military affairs.
Li Chengqian stepped outside the curtain.
He looked up at the looming first pass in the world: "Jianmen Pass is bound to be stepped on by us..."
…
Li Chengqian has a do-it-yourself temperament.
As long as he thinks of something, he will take action almost immediately.
It's the same this time.
Now that you have a plan, follow it exactly.
In the morning of this day, Liu Qizhi gathered his troops and led 10,000 troops to advance towards Jianmen Pass.
Said it earlier.
The reason why Jianmenguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack is because of its special terrain.
You know, the Jianmen Pass pass stands between two mountains, almost completely sealing the entrance of the canyon.
In addition, there is also the terrain of Jianmen Pass.
If you want to attack Jianmen Pass head-on, you must first walk through a narrow valley mouth that is more than two miles away.
The narrowest part of the valley entrance is only a hundred paces wide, less than fifty meters wide.
This level of width not only allows the attackers to line up all their siege equipment for attack, but also limits the number of people the attackers can invest.
Li Chengqian had settled an account before.
If they wanted to attack Jianmen Pass head-on, they would only invest three to four thousand people at a time.
This also makes the numerical advantage completely empty talk under Jianmen Pass.
After all, it is simply a dream for three to four thousand people to break through the Jianmen Pass guarded by ten thousand people.
The last thing I want to talk about is the height advantage of Jianmen Pass from top to bottom.
The location of Jianmen Pass is the highest point in the canyon, which is a hundred meters higher than the lowest point.
In other words, push down a rolling log from the sword door
.
As long as the weight of the rolling log is enough, and as long as it is not blocked by anyone, the rolling log can roll directly from the sword gate to the entrance of the valley.
This is enough to cause great damage to the attacker.
After these three points are stated, there is actually nothing left to say.
After all, if a city has these three points, it will be perfect, invincible, and unbreakable.
Of course, this time Liu Qi led his army to Jianmen Pass, not to launch a general offensive, nor to gamble with the lives of the soldiers.
What they have to do is to attract the enemy's attention and provide cover for Li Chengqian.
Just this morning.
Li Chengqian selected thousands of death squads from the army.
At the same time as Liu Qi set off, they also began to advance towards the north.
Originally, they did not intend to let Li Chengqian take the risk himself.
Feng Guangyao even took the initiative to take over this task.
However, Li Chengqian knew it well.
This battle must be fought by him personally.
Because, as long as he, the prince, is present, the Liangzhou Army's death squads are the real death squads.
In the end, Feng Guangyao, Liu Qi and others could not defeat Li Chengqian and had no choice but to agree.
After leaving the sight of the Shu army, they, led by Liao Ji and other spies, went directly into the dense jungle of Jian Mountain.
Now, let’s talk about the front of Jianmenguan.
Although Liu Qi was born as a middle-level general.
But after all, he was personally selected by Li Shimin to assist Li Chengqian in the future. He naturally has his own merits.
In terms of personal force, he may not be as good as Cheng Huailiang, a general who is good at force.
But he is definitely a Confucian general whose leadership ability is not much different from that of Gao Zhixing.
And his ability is not difficult to see from when he led the army alone to fight in the Western Region.
This time, the task Li Chengqian gave him was to attract the other party's attention.
This sounds simple, but is actually very difficult. After all, the city he faced was the Jianmen Pass, known as the first pass in the world.
The opponent has an absolute defensive advantage.
Apart from that, his mission is still to feint.
The feint attack mission seems simple and easy, it is nothing more than launching a fake attack on a city.
But it is very difficult to attract the opponent's attention and ensure that one's own side does not suffer too many casualties.
Of course, this problem certainly does not bother Liu Qi.
When he arrived outside the valley entrance where Jianmen Pass was located, Liu Qi ordered his soldiers to set up their tents in an orderly manner.
He first sent 300 heavy shield bearers to the front, then sent 500 halberd bearers, and 500 sword shield bearers followed closely behind.
Finally, three hundred Liangzhou Army artillerymen pushed thirty Zhenguan cannons and followed the team forward.
His strategic deployment can be regarded as the most perfect layout.
Not only can it create the illusion of attacking the city, but it can also use these gunners to prepare for subsequent sieges.
After all, for a location like Jianmen Pass, the gunner must first find a favorable position before suppressing fire at Jianmen Pass.
Of course.
It is very dangerous to use the Zhenguan Cannon in such a narrow space.
After all, the canyons on both sides are so narrow that as long as a cannonball lands in the wrong place, a chain reaction is likely to occur.
Not to mention that the entire canyon would collapse, and the falling rocks would be enough to block the attack path.
Of course, none of this matters anymore.
The most important thing right now is to conquer the city in front of you.
Even if you can't attack, you still need to let the opponent know how powerful you are.
Looking at the military formations lined up, looking at Jianmen Pass in front of them.
Liu Qi didn't hesitate at all, he pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Target Jianmen Pass, attack!"
Following this order, the soldiers who had formed their battle formations shouted: "Kill!"
Immediately afterwards, a group of people formed a neat battle formation and slowly advanced towards the direction of Jianmen Pass...
