Purple mist filled the air, and countless corpses lay everywhere. On the Jiming Mountain Road, which had been reduced to a dead place, a figure slowly walked among it. It was the proud Hongchen who smashed the main peak of Jiming Mountain.
Being in the poisonous mist, Ao Xiaohongchen was not affected at all. He looked around, reached out to pick up the poisonous soil on the ground, and sighed: "King Yan, as early as ten years ago, you were deep in the Jiming Mountains.
Three Ways Gu was buried, and the topography of this place was used to cultivate poisonous Gu. It was expected that the Taiping Order who traveled around the world would explore this place, and deliberately let
He found this shortcut to Hutou City. This Jiming Mountain Road was naturally useless at the beginning of the war. But now, the conceited Taiping Order predicted that Beiliang had no fighting power. Even if there was an ambush, it would not be able to fight.
Stop the Beimang army. You allowed the Liangmang battle to break out in advance and deliberately spread the news that Xu Xiao was critically ill. Then,
It was the Beimang Empress and the Taiping Order who took advantage of the situation and divided their troops to expand the results of the war. Although the troops were divided into three groups, they could gain an advantage at the beginning of the war, but the price was the dispersion of their own forces. Xu Fengnian recruited the refugees from Lingzhou into the army to cooperate with Xu Longxiang.
Dong Zhuo, who led a small number of elite troops and defeated the army of 200,000, was
Proof. And Xu Xiao’s appearance on the battlefield and capturing Xiaguang City symbolizes the official start of this game. The fear of Xu Xiao will definitely make the Taiping Order and Tuoba Bodhisattva order to gather troops. With this order, Beimang’s 200,000 elite soldiers
From now on, we have entered a dead end. Once the 200,000 troops are destroyed, Beimang will completely lose its military advantage, and the defeat is certain."
Speaking of this, Aoxiao Hongchen scattered the sand in his hands and looked to the southeast, "The battle of Liangmang will be divided, and the battle of Chuli will also end the first phase. Today, things will change."
The Hongchen Sword is unsheathed, and Hongchen's sword is arrogantly flying in the air.
In the rhyme of the poem, the person transforms into red and leaves the Jiming Mountains at a high speed, "half wading in the turbid current and half sitting in the clear, leaning on the zither and chanting Guangling prose. The cold sword silently listens to the gentleman's wishes, and looks down upon the world and laughs at the mortal world."
Zhong Tan led the remnant army to join Tuoba Bodhisattva, and brought news that the cavalry of the four towns of Beimang Longyao Prefecture and the 200,000 soldiers of the Zhong family army were destroyed on Jiming Mountain Road.
Tuoba Bodhisattva was shocked and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Later, scouts came to report that Yuan Zuozong led a surprise force and captured the Baili Stone Great Wall located behind the Beimang Army.
The Baili Stone Great Wall was originally a stone defense line built in Beiliang that started from the Jiming Mountains in the west and ended at the Daliang Mountains in the east.
Its function is to serve as a strategic buffer line for Hutou City to resist the southward movement of Beimang, and to act as an early warning and delayer.
Since it was captured by the Tuoba Army, it has now been transformed into the grain station closest to the front line in Beimang.
After Xiaguang City was captured by Xu Xiao, Tuoba Bodhisattva also realized that he could not place his general's rations too far away from the army.
Although he is not afraid of fighting Xu Xiao in the field, the troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first.
If Xu Xiao insists on not confronting him head-on, attacking his logistics will be enough to hold him back.
After all, Beimang is fighting in another country. The war will last for a long time, so they must also pay attention to the security of food and grass.
Xiaguang City's mistakes can be made once, twice, but not again.
Tuoba Bodhisattva then suggested to Empress Beimang that the food station should be moved to the Baili Stone Great Wall.
Although this move will increase the cost of transporting grain and grass, it will also allow the military grain to be taken care of nearby, preventing Xu Xiao from succeeding like he did in Xiaguang City.
According to Tuoba Bodhisattva's plan, he would have 200,000 elite troops to arrive after cultivating magical powers for up to three days.
With the addition of this effective force, Tuoba Bodhisattva, who has superior military strength, will be able to more calmly arrange the siege and prepare for Xu Xiao's sneak attack.
The Bailishi Great Wall is neither far nor close to the Tuoba Army's camp, and the two places are forming a horn.
If Xu Xiao leads his army to attack, and the Zhong family army led by Zhong Shentong is stationed there, he can lead his army back in time to help, and together with Zhong Shentong, attack Xu Xiao from a flank.
Tuoba Bodhisattva is confident that even if he cannot keep Xu Xiao, he can still severely damage his elite troops.
What he didn't expect was that Beiliang had already hidden poisonous fog in the Jiming Mountains, which wiped out all kinds of magical powers and the 200,000 troops led by Hong Jingyan in one day.
Yuan Zuozong led his army to capture the Bailishi Great Wall, which meant that the Tuoba army's retreat and food routes were cut off at the same time, and they were already in the most dangerous situation.
Sure enough, after the Baili Stone Great Wall behind them was captured, Tuoba Bodhisattva sent scouts to the Daliang Mountains to investigate and reported that there was a Northern Liang army of about 50,000 troops camped among the mountain roads.
This means that Beimang's only chance to escape from Beiliang's encirclement by detouring from the east has disappeared.
The current situation is that to the south of Beimang's 400,000 troops, there is the Beiliang army relying on the strong city of Hutou City to block the road. To the north, there is Yuan Zuozong, Xu Xiao's adopted son, leading 30,000 Beiliang elites to rely on the Baili Stone Great Wall to block their retreat.
In the Daliang Mountains to the east, 50,000 Northern Liang troops were stationed to recuperate their strength.
Although the Jiming Mountain Range to the west is undefended, according to Zhong Tan's description, it is filled with poisonous mist, and no one except the top masters can cross it.
Originally, according to Tuoba Bodhisattva's own cultivation, he was certainly capable of flying over the Jiming Mountains.
But the price of doing so must be that the 400,000-strong army loses its leader, loses all morale, and is devoured by Beiliang.
In order to ensure the safety of the 400,000-strong army, Tuoba Bodhisattva sent military experts to try to cross the Jiming Mountains and pass the news to Hongjingyan on the other side of the mountains.
He also released flying pigeons in the camp to see if he could send a message to Beimang to inform him of the situation here.
On the other hand, two troops were dispatched to conduct tentative attacks on the Bailishi Great Wall and the Daliang Mountain camp respectively, looking for a breakthrough.
As for Beiliang, with the help of geographical advantages, Xu Xiao completed the siege of Tuoba Beimang's army.
In order to prevent Beimang's army from escaping, Xu Xiao transferred almost all of Beiliang's troops to the front line, except for Xu Fengnian's troops who were still repairing in Liuzhou and the troops used to guard against Li Yang and Gu Jiantang. Even the horse thieves who had been gathered up could not
exception.
As for the Beimang Army, with the food route cut off, the army's food and grass could only last ten days.
The generals on both sides know that the next ten days will be a competition of time and will for both warring parties.
Just when the battle of Liangmang entered its most critical moment, the battle between Xichu and Liyang also reached an important moment.
As the confrontation between Zhao Yi and Pei Hongzhi on the front line got longer, the situation behind Guangling Road became more and more serious.
Due to the tyranny of Zhao Yi and his son and the heavy taxes imposed by the Liyang court, as well as the influence of the restoration of the Western Chu Kingdom, more and more local people were dissatisfied with the rule of the Liyang royal family and King Guangling, took up arms and joined the ranks of the rebels.
Under the leadership of Xi Chu, uprisings in various places were in full swing. Zhao Yi's fiefdom was in flames and the roads were cut off.
Food, grass, and soldiers have all reached the point where they cannot be transported to the front lines.
Even the beloved general of King Guangling, General Chunxuelou, and the lustful Song Li, were ambushed by the rebels during a food and grass transportation, and were captured alive by a rebel general named Han Liangchen.
