Everyone was dumbfounded. When did the military advisor become a magic stick and borrow the power of ghosts and gods from heaven and earth? How? Is it possible to set up an altar and support the shackles?
Lin Jue didn't show off any more and said loudly: "You all know the terrain of Luoyan Valley well. There is Luoyan Valley between the east and west peaks. This is a natural place for ambush. We have been holding on to the entrance of the valley because of that.
It is the gateway to our Luoyan Valley. If the entrance of the valley is breached, the opponent can drive straight in and enter the valley. If the entrance of the valley is breached, the defense of the east and west peaks will become meaningless. Because if the east and west peaks are attacked from both sides of the valley,
This mountain peak can perfectly bypass our fortifications and arrow towers on the south slopes of the two peaks. With their superior strength, they will definitely be able to break through our stronghold. You should all know this in your heart."
Everyone nodded, and Gao Muqing said: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. The defense system of our Luoyangu Dazhai is exactly where the defenses on the two peaks are connected by the defenses at the mouth of the valley. If one place is broken, everything is in danger. The defense system at the mouth of the valley is
Defense is particularly important because there is no terrain to rely on. Because of this, for more than a year, we have been fully operating the defense line at the entrance of the valley. The ten-foot-wide moat is an effective fortification to block their attack. There are also two
There are layers of stone walls blocking the way. If it weren’t for these, I’m afraid the valley entrance would have been breached by them long ago.”
Gao Muqing is talking about the defense system located at the south entrance of Luoyan Valley. The biggest difficulty in terrain defense of Luoyan Valley is the valley gap in the south. The east and west peaks can build fortifications and arrow towers on the slopes to resist defense, but if the valley entrance is breached,
The fortifications on the hillside are actually useless, because it is more convenient to attack the peaks on both sides from the valley. There are many gentle slopes on both sides of the narrow valley, and it is impossible for the Luoyan Army to have so many soldiers and horses to attack all the slopes.
All defenses are watertight.
In view of this situation, the defense of the south entrance of the valley has become a huge problem, and it is also the most important link in the entire Dazhai defense system. For this reason, Lin Jue thought carefully before leaving last year and proposed a horizontal excavation at the entrance of the valley.
The idea of a trench forming a water barrier. Later, Gao Muqing built this defense system based on this idea.
The function of this trench is equivalent to that of a moat at the mouth of the valley. After the large river running through the north and south of the valley fills up this horizontal trench at the mouth of the valley, it then flows out of the hill and overflows into the deep valley of Pheasant Ridge, and
Does not affect the drainage of water throughout the valley.
In addition to this horizontal 'moat', two stone walls were built as fortifications at the rear, and a large number of arrow towers were built for defense. The entire Nangokou has actually become a simple pass. There is a moat and a stone wall.
There are arrow towers and crenellations. The entire valley is actually like a city surrounded by city walls and hillsides on both sides.
It is precisely because of the strength of these defense systems that Qin Donghe's soldiers and horses were unable to break through the valley and enter the valley. The moat's blocking effect was obvious, and the fortified soldiers and horses had no effective means, so the fortifications are still intact and have not been breached.
"What the leader of Dazhai said is absolutely true. If it weren't for the solid defense at the entrance of the valley, things would have been even more troublesome. But what I want to say is that if Qin Donghe understood that the entrance of the valley is the key point and the entire army stormed the entrance of the valley, the attack would be more difficult.
It's only a matter of time before we enter the valley. They are just stupid. Our defense at the entrance of the valley actually has huge shortcomings. If it were me, I would only need to use hundreds of soldiers holding large shields to approach the trench, dig out the water mounds, and build up the moat.
The water will be drained cleanly soon. Then it will not be blocked by the trench. You can wade through the water and storm the stone wall. You may have to pay a lot of casualties, but you can definitely break through the valley mouth in one fell swoop." Lin Jue nodded.
road.
Everyone's scalps were numb and their backs were sweating. The military advisor was absolutely right. If the water mounds were forcibly dug out, the water in the moat and the Luoyan River would quickly run out. Even if the water could not be exhausted, as long as they could wade through the water, it would be enough.
It lost its role as a barrier. More than 5,000 soldiers and horses attacked the stone wall with all their strength in an area several miles wide. Is there any reason not to break it?
"...Therefore, there is actually no future for holding on, otherwise our mountain stronghold will be breached sooner or later. Either the East and West Peaks will be captured, or the valley entrance will be breached. Therefore, I want to ask Qin Donghe to come to fight and show off. Moreover, I will
Let him enter Luoyan Valley to fight me. As long as he comes in, they will never get out alive. As for the method, it is very simple. Well... the dam in the north of the valley, this season, the dam should be full of water. " Lin
Jue said with a smile.
Everyone was a little confused. The military advisor spoke incoherently. After talking for a long time, they still didn’t understand what he was going to say. Suddenly, someone screamed: "Did the military advisor mean...to use the power of the flood...to wipe out the enemy?"
This voice was like a flash of lightning in the dark clouds, instantly making everyone wake up like a sudden enlightenment. Everyone looked at the smiling Lin Jue in astonishment and exclaimed in disbelief.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Yes, Brother Ruan is smart. That's what he meant. If Qin Donghe dares to come to the valley to fight with our army, we will dig a dam. The water in the dam will be our heavenly soldiers and generals.
.Speak of his 5,000 people, even 50,000 people, not a single one of them can escape alive. All of them will be rushed out of the valley and fall into the deep valley of Pheasant Ridge."
"Oh my God!"
Everyone's hearts were beating wildly, as if they were about to burst out of their chests. This plan was indeed cruel and ruthless, and it turned out to be a failure. The water in the dam was full. Once the dam broke, violent waves would rush down.
.Everything in the valley will be wiped out, let alone the five or six thousand enemy troops. It turns out that this is what the military counselor meant when he said that he would borrow the power of mountains, rivers, ghosts and gods. Indeed, isn't this the power of ghosts, gods, mountains and rivers? Human power.
How can it be done?
"...This plan only has two drawbacks. First, when the flood comes, all the hard work I have done in Luoyan Valley will be wiped out. Several villages, cultivated fields, dug ditches, dams, trees,
All will be washed away. What’s even more troublesome is that after plowing, the land in the valley is no longer as solid as before. The flood will wash away all the soil on the surface, and the valley may not be suitable for farming in the future. This is a headache.
.However, as long as there are people around, you are not afraid of these. There will always be ways to solve these problems. If the copycat is gone, then there will be nothing. The second is that doing so seems to harm Tianhe, even though they are enemies,
But more than 5,000 lives were lost like this. It seems that they did too much. However, they did not show mercy to us. I am just a little worried about what will happen next. After all, the overall strength in Funiu Mountain is lacking, and it is very likely that the officers and soldiers will be killed.
Find an opportunity to take advantage of. Well... this matter really should be carefully considered. But it is urgent, and the current crisis is the most important thing."
Facing the dumbfounded people in the audience, Lin Juewu frowned and thought to himself, talking ramblingly. Everyone in the hall listened to his rambling words and understood in their hearts that the military advisor had actually thought of everything. He
Xiang Xiang thought it through very carefully. In fact, he himself had already given the answer to the shortcomings he mentioned. The military advisor was determined.
"What's wrong with you? Let's talk about whether you agree with this plan or not. Let's express our opinions. Why are everyone so dumbfounded?" Lin Jue noticed everyone's dullness and frowned.
"I agree! This plan... is wonderful. Why didn't I think of it? Using our big dam, hahaha, what a ruthless strategy. When the flood comes, won't Qin Donghe and his troops all be destroyed? Liar.
When they come to the valley, none of them can escape." Liang Qi woke up from his sluggish state, jumped up and shouted loudly.
This voice woke up everyone, and all the leaders shouted loudly, indicating that this plan was very clever and had great potential. Suddenly, the hall once again became as noisy as a pond of water ducks.
"Mu Qing, what do you think?" Lin Jue turned to Gao Muqing and asked.
Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Muqing, who sat blankly on the chair and pondered. She did not expect such a cruel and desperate plan. But this was Lin Jue's style. Lin Jue's plan that time was to keep
The backhand plan to suppress the pirates and the strategy for the internal blossoming of Shirenshan Dazhai are all desperate and crazy plans. This plan is exactly his usual style at the moment. But Gao Muqing is a little worried.
"This plan is very good, but... it seems a little too desperate and leaves no way out. Once the flood comes, our Luoyan Valley will be gone. What will the villagers do in the future? If we can't grow crops, we won't survive this year.
Ah. Luoyan Valley is the result of more than a year's hard work and the hard work of the entire village, but all of it is about to disappear. How can I explain it to the villagers?" Gao Muqing said softly.
"Master of Dazhai, you are called a woman...that...I mean, don't worry too much. The green hills are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." Lu Yi, the leader of the fourth village, almost said the word "woman's kindness".
In short, luckily I held it back in time.
"Master of the stronghold, the villagers will understand. If the stronghold is gone and lives are gone, what is there to talk about? Don't worry about that. Whoever dares to cause trouble will be given a good look." Liang Qi shouted.
Gao Muqing frowned and said nothing. Lin Jue said softly: "Master of the village, I understand what you are thinking. After all, you have worked hard to get to the current situation. With this plan, you will suddenly go back to the past. The village will also enter an extremely difficult period."
At that time, everything I built with my own hands was gone, and I must have felt extremely unbearable. But compared with the overall situation, this is really nothing. There are tens of thousands of people in the village, and the reconstruction is very fast. People are the most important.
These things were built from top to bottom in our cottage, and they can still be restored if they are destroyed. Of course, if you feel that this plan is inappropriate, I can think of other strategies."
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue and said, "Do you think I am too kind and unreasonable?"
Lin Jue whispered: "No, that's you. I won't blame you. This plan is too crazy. Not only you, but many people may not think it is good either. I will think about it again and see if there is any
There is no best solution."
Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "No need, you are right, as long as the people are there, everything will be fine. Everything else is not important. I agree with the military advisor's plan. If no one objects, the plan will be settled. The military advisor will say what should be done.
Everyone knows how to prepare."
Everyone was overjoyed and shouted one after another: "The leader of Dazhai is wise, the military advisor can give the order, what should we do?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "Don't panic, don't be happy too early. The key part of this plan is to lure Qin Donghe's army into the valley. My idea is to give him a letter of challenge and make an appointment with him in the valley.
Decisive battle. Generally speaking, he will be happy to accept the challenge, because this is the opportunity he has dreamed of. Entering the valley, his troops will have the opportunity to break through the stronghold, and in a head-on battle, his numbers will be absolutely superior, so he will definitely win.
.However, nothing is absolute. If he is cautious and does not fall for the trick, then this plan will fail."
Everyone frowned and nodded. If Qin Donghe is not fooled, there is really nothing he can do. This plan can only be implemented by luring his troops into the valley. Otherwise, they can only stare blankly.
"Yeah, what if he doesn't fall for the trick? Isn't that just a sign of having one's head shaved and picking one's head off?" Liang Qi said angrily.
Lin Jue thought about it: "Qin Donghe will definitely not refuse a head-on battle. He is eager to do so. But if he does not come into the valley, then a backup plan will be needed. Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion.
After a while I will write a letter of war, and in the afternoon I will send someone down the mountain to Qin Donghe for a fight. In addition, I will need some manpower after lunch. I need a hundred craftsmen in the village, and I will call an additional two hundred helpers. Gather.
The open space behind the Yitang will be on guard from now on, and no idlers are allowed to approach it. I want to make preparations for a follow-up backup plan."
Everyone was surprised and speechless, but at the same time they were very sure. The military advisor was a monster. After he returned to the village, for some reason, everyone felt confident and confident in defeating the opponent. No, the military advisor suddenly thought and made an earth-shattering move.
An extremely cruel plan emerged. If this plan fails and there is a follow-up plan, where can I go to explain it?
…
In the open valley below Pheasant Ridge, a camp stretches for several miles. This is the main camp of Heifeng Village.
At this moment, Qin Donghe was sitting in the big tent, rubbing his thick fingers on his brow, looking very ugly. This morning's attack ended in vain, and more than two hundred village soldiers died on the hillside. The man responsible for the attack
Zhan Junshan, the leader of the second village, came back in disgrace and gave a lot of reasons. Qin Donghe scolded him severely. If he hadn't been following him for several years and was his absolute confidant, he would definitely give him
nice.
After sweeping through all the villages in Funiu Mountain, only the last Luoyangu Dazhai was left in Funiu Mountain. After taking down Luoyangu Dazhai, Qin Donghe became the local emperor here. Several of his planners even
After drawing a blueprint for Qin Donghe, they proposed that once the Funiu Mountains were unified, Qin Donghe would be restored to the title of Later Shu, and the banner of restoring Later Shu would be raised in the Funiu Mountains, completely changing the black wind.
The face of the bandit village.
There are two benefits to doing this. First, it is justified to unify Funiu Mountain in the name of restoring the Kingdom of Shu. Whoever dares to oppose Qin Donghe in the future will be disloyal to the homeland of Shu. Although the Kingdom of Later Shu has long been annihilated
, but it is still binding in Funiu Mountain. The second is to satisfy Qin Donghe's personal ambition. Being a bandit, he was eventually ridiculed by the world, but once he took up this banner, it was completely different. Later
Although the Shu Kingdom has been annihilated for more than a hundred years, the things and emotions left by the old people in Shu have not been completely annihilated. Raising this flag will attract many old people and young people in Shu to provide money and support. It is extremely important for strengthening the strength.
benefit.
Qin Donghe was looking forward to this very much. Even though he knew that he could not openly take the position of the so-called leader of the Later Shu Kingdom, his advisers proposed that he should appoint himself the Prime Minister of the Later Shu Kingdom and the post of the general who protects the country. This has already made him uncomfortable.
Qin Donghe was extremely excited and looking forward to it.
In fact, everyone does not want to be called a mountain king, and the same goes for everyone in Funiu Mountain. It is impossible for the Zhou Dynasty to give themselves official titles. They call themselves mountain bandits. But these people
You can get yourself promoted to a higher position, even if this method is a bit narcissistic and addictive, but it is a great psychological satisfaction.
Qin Donghe has thought about it. When the time comes, he can also assign official positions to his village owners, generals and soldiers, which will definitely make these people happy. Because they also need this kind of comfort and vanity, and themselves
No different.
However, everything can be carried out step by step after unifying Funiu Mountain. If there is Luoyangu Dazhai in the small Funiu Mountain territory that cannot be conquered, wouldn't it be like having a bone in your throat and becoming a general and prime minister?
It is meaningless. Besides, the strength of Luoyangu Dazhai is very strong. Leaving them in Funiu Mountain will be a disaster after all. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If they are left here, these people under them will have other choices, which will also affect their future authority.
A great threat.
Although he was mentally prepared for the strength of Luoyan Valley and knew that it was a force that should not be underestimated, Qin Donghe was still very confident before attacking Luoyan Valley. Especially after he captured Shirenshan Dazhai and
After killing the 300 soldiers and horses left behind in the Luoyan Valley Dazhai and the leader of the third village Yuan Lang, Qin Donghe became even more confident. He felt that the combat effectiveness of the Luoyan Valley soldiers and horses was meager. He only lost a lot of money by capturing Shiren Mountain.
At 800 manpower, even if this is not a cost-effective deal, it is still acceptable.
Qin Donghe made a calculation and found that if he exchanged 800 for 300, there would be less than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the Luoyan Valley stronghold, and he would only need to pay less than three times the force to win.
And now he has no shortage of manpower at all. After all the soldiers and horses in each village have surrendered to him, he now has close to more than 10,000 men. Even if the equipment is simple, even if it is a bunch of rabble with little training, it is beyond what Luoyan Valley can do.
The enemy. Even if it costs five or six thousand men, as long as we capture Luoyan Valley and get rid of this thorn in our heart, it will be absolutely worth it.
What's more, Qin Donghe has his own little abacus. The soldiers of the original Black Wind Village must not be used as cannon fodder. Those who attacked were the soldiers of other strongholds who had attached themselves to him, and they were the first to die.
.At that time, the original subordinates who are loyal to him will still be alive, and a lot of unnecessary trouble will be saved.
But what I never expected was that for more than a month, the attack on Luoyan Valley was like an old lady with a flat mouth chewing bones, her gums were sore, but there was no actual progress. The opponent's will to defend the stronghold was tenacious and the defenses were strong.
The strength of the army and the bravery in combat are astonishing. Qin Donghe almost gave a fatal order, letting his soldiers and horses take turns to attack every day, but the results were very few. The Luoyan Army was like a madman, no matter when they attacked
, they would rush forward to fight desperately. In terms of combat effectiveness, their own soldiers were incomparable to the other side. In several head-to-head battles between the two sides, it was clear that their own number was several times greater, but they still fled in the end.
In more than a month, the number of soldiers killed and injured in Heifeng Village has exceeded 4,000. There is also a negative atmosphere in the village, and it feels that it is impossible to capture Luoyan Valley. Some people have begun to persuade Qin Donghe to give up the attack
Luoyan Valley is worried that if we continue to attack like this, our own strength will be exhausted.
Of course, Qin Donghe sternly rejected this proposal. He could not give up. At this point, if he gave up retreating, he would lose his prestige. Originally, other copycats treated him as his dogs because of their strength. If they found out, it turned out that
Luoyan Valley is more powerful than myself, so how can I make them loyal to me wholeheartedly?
