Shazhou Pass is less than a hundred miles away from Wolong Pass. It was originally an insignificant town, but after the war, it became an important transportation hub. All logistical supplies and reinforcements needed to pass through the pass. Now their east and west gates are open day and night. With.
There were originally five thousand soldiers and horses stationed in the city, but due to the tight fighting on the front line, three thousand cavalry were mobilized in half a month, and now only two thousand infantry are left.
The guard general personally led the troops away, and now he, the deputy general, is the highest military officer in the city.
Murong Yumen was also very unsuccessful in the Langya Army. Although he was good at using troops and made many achievements, he was still a small deputy general until he was in his forties. Many of his colleagues who fought alongside him back then were now They have all become generals.
What depresses him the most is that the current guard of Shazhou City was once his subordinate...
In fact, his title of deputy general is just a general or laudatory title. His real title is Qianhu.
And he has no foundation in the court, and no powerful acquaintances in the Ministry of War, so he can't be transferred to another place, and he can only be trapped here.
Fortunately, his son Murong Lin was very promising. He passed the examination and went to the capital to take the examination. If he was lucky enough to win, he would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
But there are unforeseen circumstances. At this juncture, Duan Fengnian actually rebelled!
When he heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Damn Duan Fengnian, you are so deceptive. You have deceived me for so many years, and now you want to deceive my son!
Which is tolerable or not... Then you have to endure it, otherwise?
But now he doesn't have to endure it anymore and decides to go all out and do it to his mother, not for the emperor but also for his son, not for his son but also for me. I have been holding back my breath for too long!
He is also a very smart person, knowing that he either doesn't do it, or if he wants to do it, he must do it absolutely, otherwise, no matter whether he succeeds or fails in the future, he will not be able to please both sides.
So when Li Haibo came to find him, he did not hesitate to leave Li Haibo and others in his house, claiming to be his newly recruited soldiers.
In front of Li Haibo, he bit his finger, wrote a bloody letter to Xiao Chen, signed his name, and pledged it. This was considered a life-or-death pledge. His attitude was extremely firm and left no escape route or room for himself!
Xiao Chen expressed his relief after receiving the letter. Although he did not promise anything to himself, he promised that he would take good care of Murong Lin no matter what in the future!
He was very happy after seeing the letter. He felt that Xiao Chen was a real person, honest enough... and interesting enough.
Because Xiao Chen ordered Li Haibo to find a way to quietly bring Murong Yumen's family members to Yanyun County so that Murong Yumen would not have any worries!
He transferred some of his unreliable officers to go on errands under various names, and replaced all junior officers in the generals with his own confidants. Although he did not explicitly express his intention to oppose Duan Fengnian, he also revealed some words to let his subordinates Be mentally prepared first.
Fortunately, these brothers who have been with him for many years all follow his lead, and none of them is ambiguous.
Several brothers even suggested that he take the big guys directly over Yanyun Mountain and join Xiao Chen, Lord Xiao! Otherwise, what will happen to us in the future?
If Duan Fengnian's rebellion succeeds, we won't be able to lose the benefits. If it fails, we will all die without a burial place!
Instead of doing this, it is better to find another way out...
This gave Murong Yumen peace of mind. Please tell Li Haibo how to cooperate with Mr. Xiao Hou?
Should he take these two thousand brothers and leave Yanyun directly, or should he hold high the banner of King Qin and lead his troops to move to the hinterland of Yanyun County to fight guerrilla warfare?
I, Murong Yumen, still have a few friends in various places in Langya. As long as I raise my arms, there will definitely be a response.
In addition, this is the boundary of Pingliang Mansion. It is only a hundred miles away from Pingliang City. How about joining forces with Jiang Wu and cooperating with him to defeat Pingliang City?
Or we can just burn Duan Fengnian’s grain harvest!
After the burning, he could directly defect before the formation, take advantage of the chaos and rush all the way, and directly return to the embrace of Zhou. As long as the plan is more careful, it is not impossible.
But Li Haibo told him to stand still, because Shazhou Pass is very critical now, it is a choke point. When Xiao Hou Ye launches a counterattack, Duan Fengnian's army will definitely pass through this place when they retreat, and we can stop them here.
Murong Yumen also disapproved of this and counterattack? Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!
Duan Fengnian has an army of 200,000 people. They are all solid and without any moisture. Do I know who is passing by me?
How many people do Mr. Xiao and the others have?
Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Thirty thousand people struggled to defend Wolong Pass, but they still dared to attack Duan Fengnian's 200,000 troops? Isn't this a joke?
Hai Bo and our brothers know better than to tell secrets. First of all, the emperor said that he couldn't mobilize reinforcements in his eagerness...
There may even be no reinforcements at all!
There are soldiers at Yanyunguan, but with all due respect, the emperor is also on guard against you, Yanyun County, because even if Duan Fengnian captures Wolong Pass, it's actually nothing, but if your Yanyun army comes out in large numbers, hehe, that's okay It’s amazing!
So in my opinion, the soldiers at Yanyunguan cannot be targeted at all. No matter how fierce the fighting at Wolongguan is, Xue Jinshan can only stare at it!
It can be said that Murong Yumen's judgment is very remarkable, but even if he were killed, he would never have imagined that Yan Yunjun had actually left the pass in large numbers and was now in Wolong Pass.
It was because Xiao Chen never acted according to common sense, and this time Li Wanjiang also took an uncharacteristically big gamble and placed a huge bet.
So the next development of the situation may surprise everyone...
But it was said that Li Qiu led 10,000 cavalry and Duan Fengnian's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were locked in a stalemate. In the midst of the shouts of killing, no one paid attention to the groups of soldiers, chariots and horses. Under the cover of gunpowder smoke and darkness, they quietly headed straight to Guangtou Mountain. Come.
First, 2,500 people led by Xue Guanshan reached the mountainside and relied on armored ballistas to establish a relatively simple circular defense line.
Then Zhang Mingyuan led the artillery to arrive and quickly built forts at various positions that had been measured long ago, forming two firepower networks.
Even if Duan Fengnian and the others find themselves coming to attack, they can defend effectively.
But now everyone in Duan Fengnian's camp is paying attention to the battle below the city, and no one takes a second look here.
This may be the so-called darkness under the lamp. The closer we are, the less we care.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Changshan's brothers from the Civil Engineering Battalion arrived, threw off their arms, picked up shovels, and began to show off their power. Finally, the transportation team led by Wu Tiangui himself was like hard-working worker ants, continuously transporting food, materials, and ammunition. .
Almost all the brothers from the civil engineering battalion were dispatched, and every one of them risked their lives. They knew that time was of the essence. If they finished the job earlier, the brothers below the city would have fewer casualties, and the brothers in Bald Mountain would also have more casualties. Split vitality...
