The Rise of the Three Kingdoms from the Ten Changshi Rebellion

Chapter 286 Pulled to Chang'an
Since Lu Bu became emperor and Zhang Luba announced that the new emperor Liu Xi had arrived in Chen Lu safely, Liu Bei, who had just received the news, called officials and generals to discuss countermeasures.

Ban Tong came out, bowed, and shouted: "Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Since Zhang Lubu intends to continue the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, then Lu Bu is naturally a rebel who is accused by thousands of people. In this case, I will wait to attack Lu Bu. It's just "success against the enemy".

Although our army has occupied southern Shanxi, Jinan is not as good as northern Shanxi, with more barbarians and fewer people.Moreover, Jiaozhou in the south and Yangzhou in the east are now in the hands of Sun Ce.

Under such circumstances, our army cannot think about the future.And the way to get our army out of the predicament is to go north and cross the river to Shu!

Now Lu Bu has sent Zhang Lvbula to Chang'an, and the land of Bashu has been on alert all day, but now is a good time for our army to enter the land of Shu.As long as they occupy the land of Basha and use it as a base to restore and develop their own weapons, within a few years, it is impossible to learn from the great ancestors and fight for peace! "

It has to be said that when other officials wanted to go a step further and repeated it again, Liu Bei was moved and quickly started to act.

Like Sun Ce, he also knew about gunpowder.Perhaps other princes should thank Sima I, who not only brought gunpowder to Chang'an, but also passed the gunpowder formula to Liu Bei and Sun Ce's intelligence personnel through various channels through the night owl team.Of course, this formula is relatively primitive and not very powerful.

But who are Zhuge Liang and Pan Tong?Either way, it can be considered a master class, right?So when they got the formula, they looked puzzled and compared the strength of the gunpowder used by Yuan Jun in the Battle of Yuehai with the gunpowder made according to the formula.Eventually they found the differences between them and started to improve.

The Zhuge family is the best in this respect, not only because the Zhuge family also has a certain degree of Machology research, but also because Zhuge Liang studied chemistry at West China University because of his interest, so he learned to refine and analyze.

But the purebred Peng Tong is a little closer.Until now, he has not been able to increase the power of gunpowder by one and a half times.Fortunately, Jinan discovered two caves for making saltpeter.They have a lot of saltpeter.Both brimstone and brimstone.Charcoal is easy and convenient to source, so it makes sense that Pantone wins in numbers.

Time waits for me!Otherwise, Pang Tong is of course willing to study this slowly until the power of the explosives is maximized.Every second counts now, and of course we can't keep spending time on it.

Therefore, more than 20 vehicles with gunpowder rushed to the public security and Baidi.In order to extract and process nitrate, Liu Bei spared no expense in hiring Jinan residents and even barbarians for mining, and increased the purchase price of sulfur and charcoal by 20%.

In terms of military deployment, Liu Bei personally led the attack on Baidi, with Wenping and Shamoke as his deputy; Ma Di and Jiang Wang, who had just joined her, served as staff officers to assist the commander-in-chief of the squad; Zhou Zeng and Pan Zhang served as deputy commanders, and Wei Yanan served as deputy commanders member. , Jiang Qin is the lieutenant, Zhang Zhao and Xunchen are the army.

Order He Jun to guard Changsha, Liaohua to guard Linlin, Zhou Anu to guard Wulin, Xing Daorong to guard Guiyang; at the same time, Xiang Lan, Liao Li, Han Song, and the half army were appointed as Wulin Taishou, Changsha Taishou, Linlin Taishou and Guiyang Taishou Stay behind.

It can be said that Liu Bei was really lucky. Not long after he dispatched troops, there was news that Lu Bu had died in battle.

The Qin army was intimidated and asked Liu Bei to take advantage of the situation and quickly enter Shu through two routes. This is the only way to enter Shu and the key to protecting Jingbei.

It's just that Liu Bei grasped these two points, and luck was over.

Sima Yi's supremacy, Emperor Shu began to enter a period of rectification, Sima Yi was defeated in Chang'an, in order to save face, he decided to use Liu Bei as a punching bag, and cast the resentment of his subordinates on the leader of Liu's army.

After the establishment of the capital Chengdu, Sima Yi immediately ordered the elite Qin army to go south to Kuiguan, which was the only way to transfer troops into Shu.But Liu Bei died so slowly, but he could only look at the majestic leader. Why didn't his dark hatred manifest on the centaur and attack him quickly?

The mountain roads in the land of Bash are rough.

In other words, it is impossible for Liu Bei to defeat Kuiguan in one day, and large-scale siege technology cannot enter Shu unimpeded.And those soldiers who entered the Shu Kingdom in this way had no siege equipment, no logistical support, and no horses. In fact, it was no different from delivering food to the Qin army.

After the camp was established, Liu Bei called Pan Tong, Ma Di, and Jiang Wang to ask for advice.

I have to sigh that this year's reporters are really comprehensive. Ma Di and Jiang Wang are doing better in public affairs, but they also have military books at home.It's a pity that there are no qualified teachers, otherwise their martial arts scores will not be lower than Pantone.But if this is the case, they can still make up for Pantone as an assistant.

Otherwise Liu Bei would not appoint them as staff officers.Instead, they had to be sent to the logistics office to accompany Jian Yong to perform logistics.

"Shiyuan, what is your strategy for attacking Kuiguan this time?" After everyone was seated, Liu Bei looked at Panton beside him.

"The lord wants to break Kuiguan as soon as possible, all he needs to do is ignite the fuse with a catapult and throw it out continuously to blow up the city wall. Ten baskets of gunpowder can be consumed to destroy a section of the city wall.

Of course, you can also dig a tunnel through the other side and put a lot of dynamite to blow it up.Or they can keep throwing explosives at the barrier to overwhelm the enemy.Our army took the opportunity to send troops to the wall and occupied Kuiguan by conventional siege. "Pang Tong said three decisions almost without hesitation.

When Liu Bei continued to move forward and was about to choose one, Ban Tong said: "However, these are common methods. There are too many of them. Everyone wants to use them. That is to say, the enemy's guards can only Come up. With this."

So while the above three methods are the most commonly used, they can do very little damage these days.Therefore, the best way for our army is not to directly attack Kuiguan, but to go around the mountain and go straight to Suiding! "

"Pan Junzhu is right, but the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to walk!" After Pan Tong finished speaking, Jiang Wang was the first to express his support, but he also expressed his doubts.

"It's okay, I heard that gunpowder was not originally used as a weapon, but for mining, building roads and clearing obstacles. The mountain roads are really serious and difficult to cross, but" We need to send a hundred along the way Soldiers, explosives cleared the block, then three thousand more soldiers cleared the debris.The rest is of course a smooth road! ’ - Pantone replied with a smile.

"By the way, [-] soldiers will be sent to Kuiguan, constantly releasing explosives, and pretending to attack the city from time to time to attract the enemy's attention. If our army bypasses the enemy, I am afraid the enemy will not be able to respond." Can respond. ! In the end, Maddy's speech was an adjunct to the Pantone plan.

"Shi Yuan, you can complete this plan in one go..." Liu Bei looked at Panton with some dissatisfaction, but from his expression, everyone knew that Liu Bei had accepted Panton's proposal.

After a day's rest, Sima didn't know if he was too tired or something. There was no 10% probability of night attack, and everyone slept soundly.

The next day, after Liu Bei deployed his strategic deployment, he appointed Samoka to lead [-] barbarians to attack Kuiguan, leaving Madi to help him.

Afterwards, he led the army and secretly marched towards Shu along the nearby mountain road.

Use explosives to open the way, although the sound is a bit noisy, but fortunately there is no one thirty miles away, so you don't have to worry about being discovered by the enemy.After driving like this all the way, three days later, a group of people calmly walked through the mountain road, and the plain in the pass was faintly visible.

The vast plain became clearer and clearer, and Liu Bei couldn't help shouting: "Go!"

The soldiers were also very happy, and couldn't help but move a few steps faster.Before they knew it, they had hit the ghost gate with one blow.

"Boom!" With a sound, three soldiers who rushed up were blown away by a violent blow.
