If you have something to do today, you will only have one update, and you will make it up tomorrow.
———————
Sanwei Mountain is located fifty miles southeast of Shazhou. It is named Sanwei Mountain because of the three peaks of Weishi Mountain.
An ancient poem says: "Who moves Taiyue to Yangguan when he is located in Dunhuang?"
This mountain stretches for more than 120 miles and becomes a natural barrier facing Hexi in Shazhou.
This may be one of the reasons why Yuezhi would rather station in Shazhou than enter Hexi... With this natural danger to defend and an oasis to survive, why should we enter Hexi and compete with the enemy for barren land?
The Qin army arrived at Sanwei Mountain fifteen days after the recovery of Suzhou.
As soon as they arrived at Shanweishan, the Qin army built a city at the foot of the mountain and built stone trench machines to quarry and make stone bombs.
Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but frown.
From the beginning, he disapproved of attacking Shazhou.
To be precise, Li Yan disagrees with the attack on Sanwei Mountain.
Because he had discovered that these three dangerous mountains are steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack, and many corridors are even more like a man who can pass through the pass. Not to mention that 30,000 elite soldiers are stationed here, there are only 3,000 elite soldiers in the Qin army. All are extremely difficult to break.
Compared to facing Sanwei Mountain, Li Yan would rather face the 100,000 cavalry of the Huns.
This is what Li Yan said to Chen Bing:
"General!"
"If the Huns did not harass our army on the road, their subordinates thought they would not do their best to stop our army."
"Our army can take this opportunity to bypass Sanwei Mountain and attack Shazhou from the north..."
But before Li Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Bing.
"The main force of Yuezhi is in Sanwei Mountain."
"If the Huns let us bypass Sanwei Mountain, wouldn't they give Shazhou to our army?"
"Even if the Huns want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, they will not do so."
"And Sanwei Mountain is 120 miles away. We will go around the north and attack Shazhou, and the journey will be hundreds of miles more."
"This is another ten-day journey. How could the Huns miss this great opportunity to annihilate us all?"
Li Yan replied:
"But these three dangerous mountains..."
Chen Bing replied:
"I have my own sense of responsibility, General Li Yan will prepare for it!"
Li Yan responded and could only prepare for the war with a depressed order.
Since the Battle of Daliang, Li Yan has believed that Shen Bing's strength is above Yang Duanhe and even Wang Jian.
Otherwise, who could include Xiang Yan and even the entire Chu State in the territory while talking and laughing?
You should know that Chu was once a major concern for Qin, and even Wang Jian said that it was impossible to defeat the whole country.
Before this, Wang Jian was right to say anything.
But this time it was broken by Shen Bing. Shen Bing only led a mere 200,000 to destroy the State of Chu. A considerable part of the 200,000 were not mentioned as the surrendered troops of Wei, but the battle to destroy Chu was still completely defeated. neat.
From this perspective, what can destroy the Yuezhi be considered?
However, Li Yan felt that Shen Bing was wrong this time.
Insufficient supply, difficult water sources, no way forward and no way back... At this time, the Qin army could almost be said to be in a desperate situation, and the hope of survival also decreased day by day as time passed.
However, Shen Bing ignored all this and still arranged troops in front of Sanwei Mountain to prepare for the siege.
Li Yan thought to himself that seeing the general's calm look, he must have another trick!
So I stopped thinking about it.
However, at this moment, the messenger came in to report:
"General, the general has an order to attack in one hour!"
Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked. Does the general really think that the "Pi Li Fireball" can capture Sanwei Mountain?
Thinking of this, Li Yan could no longer hold back, so he rushed to the Shen Bing Camp.
After entering the account, Li Yan didn't beat around the bush and bowed and said:
"General? My subordinates think that this attack on the mountain must not be done!"
"Even if we can capture Sanwei Mountain? The Hun cavalry went around the rear of our army and cut off our supply line..."
Chen Bing knew that it would be impossible not to say anything at this time, so he replied with a smile:
"General Li Yan has discovered that Captain Wang Ben has been seeing him for a few days."
Li Yanqi said:
"Didn't Captain Wang Ben lead the Shenwu Cavalry to investigate the enemy situation?"
Is this news released by Shen Bing? The Shenwu Army is a cavalry? It is a regular operation to explore the enemy situation around and become the main force.
Chen Bing didn't say anything, but just slowly spread the map in front of him? And made a gesture towards Li Yan.
Li Yan went up and took a look, but saw an extra route from the inside of the mountainous area to Shazhou.
Li Yan was still frowning at the beginning and wondering why? Could it be that the general wanted to bypass Sanwei Mountain from the southern mountainous area and attack Shazhou?
This is almost impossible to accomplish.
Thinking about it again? Li Yan widened his eyes and said:
"General, could it be Wang Ben and his group..."
Chen Bing nodded and said:
"They have been out for five days."
"If everything goes well? You can arrive in Shazhou tomorrow."
"Who is with General Wang Ben? There are also the Rongli clan who is good at marching in the mountains."
"The Yuezhi has gathered heavy troops in Sanwei Mountain, and the interior of Shazhou will definitely be empty at this time."
"General Wang Ben led three thousand people to raid Shazhou... General Li Yan thought the battle was the result?"
Li Yan then breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:
"The General's plan is very good. If King Yuezhi is not prepared, he will definitely lose this battle."
"If Shazhou is captured by our army? My Yuezhi Army will fight with me. Even if there are natural dangers in Sanwei Mountain, it will not stop our army!"
"Li Yan has received teaching!"
Chen Bing said with some apology:
"It's not that Shen Bing can trust General Li Yan."
"But Shen Bing knew that General Li Yan was upright."
"If our army has spies, we are not anxious or irritated when we see the general facing this crisis? We will definitely feel suspicious, so we are..."
Li Yan touched his head awkwardly? said:
"The General said so much. Now I want to make my subordinates pretend to be anxious but I can't pretend."
"If I had known this, the general would have told me later."
Chen Bing replied:
"The general doesn't need to install it anymore at this time."
"You just think that our army has new things that can break the natural dangers of the Sanwei Mountain."
Li Yan replied:
"What the General said? I soothe the soldiers!"
Li Yan did this as well.
He turned around and returned to the barracks happily? He shouted to the soldiers before launching the attack:
"Don't worry too much for all the soldiers."
"The general is resourceful and can make a 'Pi Li Fireball' and can make other things."
"Where are these three dangerous mountains all at that time?"
Someone really believes Li Yan's words.
Not to mention the Qin army believed it, even the Right King of the Huns and the Yuezhi King believed it.
Because Shen Bing invented a lot of things, first there were catapults, then there were gunpowder, arrows, etc.
And everything is unheard of and plays a role in turning the world on the battlefield.
This time, the Qin army will attack Sanwei Mountain in an abnormal manner under extremely unfavorable situation...
Either Chen Bing is stupid or Shen Bing has other ways to win.
If there is any other way, the most likely thing is that Chen Bing invented something shocking.
There were many scattered soldiers from the Western Regions to surrender in the Qin army, and these scattered soldiers were inevitably mixed with spies from the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu.
So as soon as Li Yan's words were heard, the Yuezhi King and the Huns immediately focused all their attention on Sanwei Mountain.
