Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Wude, Chen Ying finally arrived outside the city of Tongguan in the evening.At this time, the left and right guards of the East Palace Prince and the four guards (guards) of the East Palace Prince's left and right Siyu had already arrived outside Tongguan City, and the battle camp had already been set up. Chen Ying took A Sina Simo went to the main tent of the Chinese army.

When Chen Ying arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals were already in full battle.In the center of the large tent of the Chinese army, there is a huge sand table with a length and width of more than ten feet, and Liu Tong is slowly planting small flags on the sand table. These small flags are replaced by red, green, blue, and black colors.

"I'm waiting to meet the general!"

"Excuse me, generals!"

Chen Ying didn't even look at the sand table, so he looked at the generals present with piercing eyes: "How is the training of the Beiwei army?"

Chen Ying looked at Wei Wenzhong. As far as he was familiar with Chen Ying's combat tactics and training soldiers, that was the way Wei Wenzhong was most familiar with Chen Ying. It was the same for the Dingyuan Army. What Chen Ying came up with was just a pioneering idea, and Wei Wenzhong was the one to implement it.

"Reporting to the general, good, very good!" Wei Wenzhong said beamingly: "These soldiers, all of them are strong and tough, and they are all rare elite soldiers."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing!" Chen Ying waved his hand, "Let them gather and accept the inspection by this general!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Chen Ying led the generals led by the left and right guards and the left and right siyu, and walked out of the central army's tent.At this time, the troops standing outside the tents of the Chinese Army were the Beiwei Army. Looking around, the formation was neat and orderly, with black flags, black helmets and armors, like a black mountain.

Although there are many new recruits who have no actual combat experience in the left and right guards of the East Palace, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army are all two or three years old at the latest, and all of these soldiers are tall and powerful, with murderous aura Even Chen Ying, who was watching this scene, felt a surge of emotion as the soldiers were so majestic.

As a brand new army, the Beiwei Army has different equipment.In Chen Ying's eyes, the Beiwei Army was the reconnaissance regiment directly under his group army, his eyes, his ears, and his hands.

The cold wind that was as fierce as a knife and the snow particles that fell like small stones did not make their spirits a little weak.

Chen Yinglang said: "Good soldiers are not made by training, they are all made by fighting. You have already received the most basic training in mountain warfare. As for the effect, it needs to be tested in actual combat. It's the captain of the accompanying army, but it is said that it is an army armed with captains, is it worth the money, or is it just a sham, we can see your performance today!"

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!" All the soldiers of the Beiwei army shouted in unison: "Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

"Slogans are useless. The general will look at your actual performance. Whether you can concede your wife and children, and whether you can honor your family, we will fight tonight." Chen Ying waved his hand, and several guards carried the huge The sand table walked to the soldiers of the Beiwei Army.

"Your combat missions have been arranged. Red represents the first regiment, blue represents the second regiment, green represents the third regiment, and black represents the fourth regiment!" Chen Ying said: "Now that you are familiar with the combat missions of each regiment, take an hour to rest and prepare. After that, attack immediately!"

"Respect!"

"Do you know why you want to fight Wang Shichong?" Chen Ying shouted sharply at the soldiers of the Beiwei Army in front of him.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Beiwei Army were silent, and needles could be heard on the school field.

The muscles on Xunxiang's face twitched.Xunxiang was originally a general of Liu Wuzhou. He and Yu Chigong surrendered to Li Xiuning, and became the trilogy of Li Jiancheng in the Eastern Palace.Since the East Palace left and right Siyu rate is a place that pays attention to birth, Yu Chigong is still from a family of officials and eunuchs, coupled with Yu Chigong's high skill, he can enjoy himself in You Siyu rate.However, it is impossible to find a person. In terms of family background, he is from a humble family, and in terms of kung fu, he is only a little better than ordinary soldiers. To put it bluntly, his kung fu is only comparable to Liang Zan, Chen Ying's original guard commander.

Since then, the position of looking for a phase has become embarrassing.Although he is of the same rank as Yu Chigong, but when it comes to power, there is a big difference. Xunxiang is very excluded in Zuo Siyu's rate. Finding a phase is a decoration.

When selecting the soldiers of the Beiwei Army this time, Xun Xiang was recommended by Zuo Siyu to the Beiwei Army.However, there is a saying that if you lose your horse, you know it is not a blessing. Looking for the opposite, you became the third-ranked Zhaowu Colonel in the Beiwei Army because of a mistake. Although he only supervised a regiment of more than [-] people, his rank was the sixth-rank military officer of Minzheng.

Chen Ying continued: "In this cold weather, we could all stay at home and keep our wives and children warm on the kang, but in October, Wang Shichong took advantage of the time when our Tang troops were withdrawing from the east of the river, and attacked our Tang army. Li Yang, slaughter my people of the Tang Dynasty, if the tiger does not show its power, he will pretend to be a sick cat for us!"

All the soldiers also felt that it was a very shameless thing to be beaten by others.In fact, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, almost all the wars in the Tang Dynasty were passive defense and defensive counterattack.The battle of Qianshuiyuan in the first year of Wude was initiated by Xue Ju, the battle of Lingzhou at the end of the eleventh year was also provoked by Liang Shidu, and the battle of Hedong in the second year of Wude was also provoked by Liu Wuzhou. The Battle of Luoyang was actually initiated by Wang Shichong.

"It's not rude to come here!" Chen Ying laughed and said: "We should thank Wang Shichong. If he didn't take the initiative to provoke this war, we would have no reason to go south to the Central Plains. The Central Plains is a good place. As long as we win the Central Plains, For all of us present, one counts as one, at least we can share tens of acres of fertile land, marry a daughter-in-law, and embrace a big fat boy without delay next year. Take Hangu Pass and enter the Central Plains!"

"Take down Hangu Pass and enter the Central Plains!" All the soldiers shouted one after another.

Chen Yingdao: "Yes, take Hangu Pass and enter the Central Plains, but this Hangu Pass is not so easy to take!"

Chen Ying then introduced the topography of Hangu Pass to the soldiers.The danger of Hangu Pass lies in the fact that it is a plateau—a crack in the thick mulberry plateau.The thick mulberry plain is close to the Yellow River on the north side, with sheer cliffs, and connects to the Qinling Mountains on the south side. The plateau is densely covered with pines and cypresses, and the mulberry forest is overgrown, making it impossible to pass through.Only in the center of the plateau, there is a crack with a width of only a few meters, which can pass through the plateau.This crack is called Hangu Road.

The so-called "plateau" is a unique landform on the Loess Plateau. It is a platform-shaped highland formed by water erosion. look like.

Fortunately, with the excessive development in the Western Han Dynasty, the thick mulberry plateau has existed in name only. In the development of Guanzhong, at this time, there were not one mulberry trees on the thick mulberry plateau, and it became a bare soil plateau. In this way, Chen Ying could directly attack from the broken plateaus on both sides of Hangu Road, and it became possible. Achieved.

"The captains see their mission clearly, and set off immediately after an hour!"

Following Chen Ying's order, the Beiwei Military Academy lieutenants discovered that Chen Ying's huge sand table suddenly became four pieces.They have four regiments, each regiment is in charge of an important beacon or sentry fort, while the left and right guards and the left and right siyu lead the main force to divide into two groups and follow up from the top of the two plateaus.

At this time, the Beiwei Army not only had to undertake reconnaissance tasks, but also was responsible for clearing out the enemies ahead.Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Chen Ying can avoid being ambushed by Zheng Jun.

……

Shan Xiongxin stood in Jingou (now Jingou River), looking at Tongguan City in the night.At this time, Tongguan is like an ancient monster, crawling on the southern plateau.

"Damn thief, we've finally arrived!" Guo Qing said with his mouth open, gasping for breath, "It's fucking terrible, this 100-mile journey is harder than a thousand-mile journey."

"At least, it was worthwhile for us to go!" Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Tang Jun never imagined that we have already touched under their noses now."

Although Mo touched under Tongguan, there was no way how to take Tongguan Shan Xiongxin.Both Hangu Pass and Tongguan are built on the plateau, Hangu Pass is built on the Chousang Plateau, and Tongguan is built on the South Plateau. The north side of the South Plateau is close to the Yellow River, and the river flows directly against the plateau body.On the east side, there is a deep ditch called "Yuanwanggou", with flowing water in the ditch.There is also a deep ditch on the west side, named "Forbidden Ditch", and there is also flowing water in the ditch, which is called Forbidden Ditch Water (now called Forbidden Ditch River).The deep ditches on the east and west sides are washed by flowing water, and the cliffs are steep and extremely steep.The southern side of the plateau is connected to the Qinling Mountains.

In this way, this 700-meter-high southern plateau has the Yellow River in the north, the Qinling Mountains in the south, the Jingou and Tongshui in the west, and the Yuanwanggou in the east. It completely blocks the traffic between the Yellow River and the Qinling Mountains, forming a natural moat. . ——So, if you want to pass here, you must climb to the top of the plateau.But getting to the top of the plateau is not so easy.There is only one road to climb to the top of the plateau, that is, there is a road beside the Yellow River, which is called "Huang Xiang Ban". You can imagine the situation by seeing the word "Xiang" in its name.Here, close to the bank on the south side of the Yellow River, is a high cliff that rises abruptly, next to it is the south plateau wall, and between the plateau wall and the high cliff is a road, which is the only way to the top of the plateau.This road is only a few meters wide and about [-] miles long.

However, it didn't take long, and suddenly a blood-stained elementary school ran to Shan Xiongxin.Seeing this little schoolboy, Guo Qing's face twitched, and he opened his mouth to scold: "What a fucking embarrassment, I lost it to my grandma's house!"

This little school is none other than Guo Qing, the seventh-rank general of Zhenyuan in the Sui Dynasty, and this little school was Guo Qing's personal soldier at the time.When Guo Qing was promoted by Wang Shichong to be the governor of Guanzhou, this small school also rose to become a scout captain.

Shan Xiongxin stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's going on?"

"Tang Jun is dispatched!"

The little schoolboy's dark face turned purple, and he knelt on the ground to salute Shan Xiongxin.

"Who is the opponent, how many people have you brought over, and how much have you lost?" Shan Xiongxin was quite embarrassed when he saw the dozen or so sentry cavalry fleeing back. Most of them were wounded, and they must have been attacked by the Tang army.

"Reporting to the general, I encountered an enemy outside Tongguan City, ten miles away. The opponent should be an army of about [-] people, mixed with infantry and cavalry..." Xiao Qi replied.

"Nonsense, you fucking have been with me for a day or two, and 300 people can eat 300 of you?" Guo Qing raised his whip to whistle and ride a small school: "Could it be that you have lost the battle and praised the enemy army well?" lessen your guilt?"

The little school panicked and said: "Don't dare to be humble, don't dare to be humble!"

"Beizhi was going along the Hangu Road to Tongguan to scout the situation. When he arrived at Huangxiangban, the east city of Tongguan, he encountered an ambush from the left and right wings. There was a burst of beating wood and rolling stones. Our troops suffered seven or eight casualties, and were shot seven by their random arrows. It's a mess..."

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin was shocked.

Not far away, there was a crackling sound from the beacon tower three miles away.

Shan Xiong's confidence tightened, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of Fengsui.As a result, within two hundred steps, the fighting sound of Fengsui stopped. Shan Xiongxin thought that Tang Jun had retreated after missing a blow, but that was not the case at all.If there is an attack, Zheng Jun's beacon will definitely light two piles of bonfires at night to pass information to the rear.

But now this beacon is as quiet as death.

"What's going on here?" Shan Xiongxin was puzzled.

From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, it took only two sticks of incense?Isn't this too fast?

The layout of Zheng Jun's beacon is heavy on the front and light on the rear. The closer the beacon is to Tongguan, the more defenders there are, especially the beacon that heard the sound of fighting just now. There are more than a hundred people deployed, which is actually equivalent to a sentinel. up.
