How long can a country that destroys its own Great Wall persist in the face of its covetous neighbor?

Ling Yucheng looked at the map spread out in front of him in a daze.

In just ten days, one-third of this map has been covered by the red flag representing the Great Liang army.

The map was presented by the assassin—although it was handed by the assassin, the map drawn on the sheepskin is still genuine.In addition to the questionable accuracy, every line on it has experienced at least 20 years of wind, frost, rain and snow, and the pigment has penetrated deeply into the depths of the leather, which cannot be tampered with by an assassin in a hurry.

This point, the intelligence sergeant that Ling Yucheng carried with the army, has repeatedly verified it several times by various methods.

This is the frontier defense line built by the three generations of Lu's ancestors. There are large or small passes in every dangerous terrain. If the enemy troops come from the north, dozens of hundreds People can make the bones of the army stuck in the throat.

In addition, from north to south, the dripping vermilion pen draws three eye-catching red lines, which are the three beacons from the border to the capital of Suluo, ensuring that the war on the border will spread to the capital in a day and night.

However, such a defense line built with painstaking efforts was useless in front of the Great Liang army rushing forward.

ten days.Only ten days.Three days to rectify the army and horses, two days to rush from Xiangping to the border of Suluo, and five days to cross one-third of the land of Suluo, from the Yazi River that separates Great Liang and Suluo to the north of Suluo The largest city in China, Hirano.

At the pass cities along the way, the defenders either fled and surrendered, or surrendered to the shouts of the generals of the Lu family.

It's normal, isn't it?Starting from Lu Guangxian's father, he worked hard and dedicated more than 60 years to this country. It can be said that half of the lieutenant generals in the Suluo Army are from the Lu family, and the other half are also taught and promoted by the Lu family.So Luo Guojun had to go into a lot of brains to be able to kill such a family!

This took away half of Su Luo's mid-level and high-level generals, and the other half, based on their relationship with the Lu family, became untrustworthy to the monarch -- Su Luo was not Yu Xia after all, and killed a northern Xinjiang general In the future, enough generals can be transferred from the southern border and the central hinterland to support this line of defense...

And even Yu Xia, when he rode a fast horse lightly across the pass mountain, when he circled behind the Jianmen pass, he felt as if he had entered the land of no one.After changing the chief general and mobilizing the army, the interlocking frontier defense that was once built by himself is full of loopholes under his troops.

Stop thinking about it!

Feeling depressed and painful, the map full of red flags was distorted and deformed in front of my eyes. In a trance, Suluo under the iron heels seemed to be tomorrow's Yuxia, with the city scorched and war smoke everywhere.Ling Yucheng bit the tip of his tongue hard, forcing himself to focus on the battle situation in front of him.Taking one-third of Suluo's land in ten days seems to be a brilliant record, but such a record is still a castle on the beach--

The summer grains have not been harvested, and it is the time when the crops are not harvested. The cities he passes along the way are just bigger towns in his eyes. The grains stored in them are like snow falling into an oven under the consumption of [-] troops. do.

The food, grass and supplies carried by the army have been consumed to the point where there is only ten days left.

In other words, only when Hirano City was conquered within ten days and the food stored in Hirano City was as high as [-] shi, which was enough to feed the army for two months, then the army of Great Liang could truly gain a firm foothold.

"Have you surveyed the topography of Hirano City?"

"Back to my lord--"

For the first time in ten days, there was decent resistance.Of course, Su Luo's defeat is not all due to morale - this population is so small, Ling Yucheng remembers seeing the history books of the previous dynasty in the Tai Academy. The record is more than 120 cities, 66 households - an average of more than 5000 households per city.

Based on the calculation of a family of five people, each city has a little over 2 people, which is just a bigger town.Dozens of hundreds of soldiers were exhausted, and the striker would be defeated if he rushed casually.

And Hirano is the most important town in the north of Suluo, with deep ditches and high fortifications, heavily defended.

Walking to the outer tent, the terrain on the sand table is gradually becoming complete.On the left, He Liu, Xi Jun, and Luo Sha bumped into each other, discussing something in low voices from time to time.On the right hand side, the generals of Guangwuwei, Baishanwei, Heishuiwei and Haixi Savages were lined up, staring closely at the mountains and rivers growing little by little on the wooden plate, each with bright eyes.

In the position closest to him, Little Eleven was facing his back, kneeling on a high stool, trying to stretch his neck, looking at a small mountain rising from the ground outside Hirano City on the sand table.

"Lang'er." After helping the child's small body that was getting more and more crooked, almost falling, Ling Yucheng nodded to the generals beside him, signaling them to be less polite.Then his eyes fell on Li Manxin, Li Manxin, the deputy general of the Guangwu Guard who was rushing all the way, but bumped into a stumble under the Hirano city:

"Talk about the situation in Hirano City."

Hirano City is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side.The west is the Liujiang River, and the east is the Pingjiang River. The two rivers form an upside-down "Ji" shape, meet in the southwest of the plain, and then flow into the sea in the west.The flat land in the shape of "几" is Hirano Castle.

The city has three floors: outer, middle, and inner. Strictly speaking, the outer city is only a circle of rammed earth walls, which cannot be counted as city walls, and there are no soldiers guarding it.In addition to the three cities of outer, middle and inner, a separate city wall was built under Yimi Peak outside the north gate of Zhongcheng, which was called Beicheng.There are many stone fortresses built on the peak. From the top of the peak, you can overlook the city. There are battlements on three sides of the fortress, and there are arrow holes in the battlements, which can just guard the road up the mountain.

More than a dozen scorching gazes were fixed on the hill north of Hirano City.The soldiers who built the sand tables were quite skilled. It is estimated that even if they leave the army and do not get severance pay, they will not be hungry if they go to the street to sell sugar figurines. The clay sticks beautifully, and the arrow battlements the size of rice grains can be seen clearly.

"The garrison in Hirano is 5000 according to regulations. If you count the past few days, it is possible that nearly [-] soldiers have retreated from the front one after another. There are about [-] residents in the city. Once all the people are soldiers, There will be an additional [-] Dingkou, so we have to guard against it.”

Ling Yucheng nodded lightly: "The total number of our army is 5000 people. Today, 5000 people are scattered in various towns in the north of Suluo to ensure the safety of the back road, collect food and supplies, and use it to attack the city. The full number of soldiers is less than 4. People. This number of people must not be fought recklessly—not to mention, we still have several important towns and cities to fight, including Suluo King's Capital!"

He let out a breath slowly, and looked solemnly: "Li Manxin!"

"The end is here!"

Li Manxin is the second son of the current Wei Guogong. He is thirty years old and serves as the deputy general of Guangwuwei.He was born with big arms and round waist, straight nose and square mouth. Anyone who sees him will applaud: what a man!It's just that right now the left shoulder is wrapped in a white cloth, and blood still oozes under the white cloth, which seems to have damaged some momentum.Hearing Ling Yucheng speak, he took a step forward and bowed to wait for orders.

"Earlier, you were ordered to capture the Danshan and Daxing Mountains near the plains, and choose the terrain for the army to set up camp. But you rushed forward greedily, causing the loss of more than a thousand people in the front line, and dampening the spirit of the army... Thinking that the war is approaching, now When it is time to employ people, I will temporarily order you to pay for your merits. Lead the troops of the headquarters, search the surrounding areas of the plains, and drive all the civilians within fifty miles to the city, so that they can be used to attack the city tomorrow!"

"The last will obey!"

"Li Zhongcheng!"

"The end is here!"

This time, the Blackwater Guards were particularly ingratiating. Heishui General Li Zhongcheng left his huge territory alone, and brought five thousand cavalry into the formation himself.On the one hand, he was already scared when he sent troops with Ling Yucheng two years ago. On the other hand, the patriarch of the Black Water Department has indeed gotten worse and worse in the past two years, and he will return to his position at some point.Follow Ling Yucheng, earn more points of credit, and be more sure of succeeding to the position of patriarch in the future—so Ling Yucheng ordered him to stand up, bowing low, trying to make himself look shorter than Ling Yucheng up some.

"Rectify the troops and horses, and attack the city from the west gate tomorrow!"

"As ordered!"

"Li Gansheng!"

"The last general is here!" Deputy General Bai Shanwei responded.

"Lead your troops and horses and attack the city from the south gate tomorrow!"

"As ordered!"

"Luo Sha, you lead the cavalry from the headquarters to support you in the middle and look for opportunities! Xi Jun, you lead the cavalry from the headquarters to wander around the periphery, especially to prevent the enemy from crossing the river and attacking my rear!"

"The last will obey!"

As soon as several orders were issued, Ling Yucheng glanced over and saw the big leader of the Haixi Savages' Division scratching his head and winking, but because of military regulations, he stood still and dared not make a sound.Smiling inwardly, these people dug out from the old woods couldn’t even set up their camp neatly at first, only they were tossing around the camp after the army fell asleep. Conditioned out.

After intentionally waiting for a while, seeing that the leader still didn't dare to speak, Ling Yucheng leisurely carried Xiao Shiyi off the high stool, turned around and walked into the tent.Halfway up the curtain, I heard a reckless voice behind me:

"grown ups!"

"Oh?"

"My lord, and us... what about us!"

"You guys..." Ling Yucheng stopped, turned around and looked up and down.It wasn't until he saw the man who was a head taller than him that his whole body was hairy, that he sighed reluctantly:

"Forget it, bring some random people tomorrow, and try to see if you can take down Yimi Peak. You are also used to running in deep mountains and old forests, climbing mountains should not be difficult for you..."

"The last will obey!"

The people in the military tent left in a hurry.The sound of horseshoes gradually faded away, and Ling Yucheng finally sat back in front of the sand table, calmed down, and began to re-deduce the battle situation—unfortunately, such a peaceful day only passed for half a day.

When the sun was setting, a boy who was completely naked was ushered in, and knelt down in front of Ling Yucheng with a plop:

"My lord, please have mercy on the people of our country!"
