Wulong Mountain was the original junction between Dai and Qing. Wulong Mountain was like five wandering dragons that penetrated from Dai to Qing, and gave rise to the desolate ravine terrain of Maoling County.
There are four paths between the five dragons. In fact, of the four strong paths, only two are relatively wide and can allow soldiers to pass through with weapons and equipment. Of the other two, one requires climbing mountains and ridges, and the other is completely It was supported by a plank road, so when the army went north, it was just a matter of thousands of troops who went over and destroyed the plank road. This destroyed two access roads, making it impossible to cross at least for a short time.
There are fortresses built by the two countries on the remaining two paths. Wulong Fort is the one to the south. Because Huang Sen's troops are so fast, he gathered the army and deliberately changed into the clothes of Dai Guo soldiers and came from Dai Guo Er, and directly defrauded Wulong. He quickly occupied Wulong Fort, and then asked Che Xun and Zhou Chengzhi to take the troops and the guards of Wulong Fort to deceive the northern path of Bailong Fort. So, seemingly unbelievable, Dai Guo was cut off from the army in Maoling County.
Although the three northwest counties of Qing State are all connected to Dai State, they are blocked by Fengshui County and Fenghu Lake. Dai State's navy is really not that good. To go further south, you have to go from Chongshan County. The place where the border with Qing State is originally towering It is difficult to get over the mountains. Even if you get over and go north, it will be like sending the army into the mouth of Wei.
The current situation has become that since you can't defeat it, you will simply be trapped to death. You are blocked on both sides and cannot transport supplies in. The rest of the place is a vast, dry and uninhabited Gobi. What's more, after passing through, it is also the place of Daxia, Xiaoxia It is also possible that Che Xun will be asked to transport supplies from Xiaoxia, and the supplies will also be transported there.
】
To be able to do this, Huang Sen also did what he was prepared for later. Shu Yan mobilized some people in Qingguo to get along with each other and send people to Chexun territory, a frontal weak attack, and also brought minimal damage to Tong Cong. Pressure, coupled with the fact that Dai Guo and others are really good at fighting, then that situation will no longer exist.
The territory of Maoling County is large, but it is too desolate. The north is not actually the Gobi anymore. There are people thousands of miles away. The only place that can support people is a large plain in the middle, and there is not much space between the ravines. It is wrong to be able to grow something and feed eight or seven hundred thousand people in total, but at present, there are only 700,000 chariots and a small army, and there are not some people in the Qing Kingdom, and more importantly, there are no war horses and other livestock. It needs to be fed, and it is impossible for a small army of 700,000 to farm.
Maoling County is a strategically important area. It can resist Xiaoxia's possible invasion to the north, and it can even resist Che Xun's entry from the north to the west. However, as a dead place, it is a terrifying thing for Che Xun's small army of 700,000 people.
If the small-scale mobilization of the 700,000-strong army was concealed from Huang Sen, it must have been on a large-scale. Shu Yan did not mobilize the people of Qing State to completely defeat the 700,000-strong army.
It was Huang Sen's lack of such conditions that decided that huge siege.
In fact, Dai Jun, who is now in Maoling County, also understands that he must continue to go up. There is no way to do this. He can leave at least 70,000 horses to cut off and let the remaining people go back over the mountains and ridges on the main road, but the remaining 7 It cannot be said that ten thousand people were not sacrificed, but everyone is also a fool. Who is willing to stay and sacrifice? If the situation is tense, it would be okay to temporarily deceive and stabilize tens of thousands of people, but if the current situation continues for a while, even Tong Cong's soldiers at the lowest level will know that if they stay here and do not die, I am afraid who will be ordered by then. If we stay, we will surrender directly. Even if the lowest general who stays will surrender, there is no guarantee that the generals above who are fighting for their lives will have any intentions. Che Xun naturally knew this, so he sent a small army to attack the two fortresses of Bailong and Wulong, and successfully cut off the transportation channel established between Wei and the 40,000 small army in early summer. After all, Xiaoxia When we retreated to Chexun, we did not take the water route. In fact, that road was very bad. There were no decent places under Fenghu Lake where we could not hold ground offensives. On the contrary, we did not have the natural geographical advantage of being low on the lake, and it was difficult to land on the lake. The lake shoreline is extremely advantageous for combat, so the captured passage was also set back in Huang Sen's plan. For this reason, before capturing the two forts, he worked desperately to transport supplies to the two forts in a month's time and Shaojia sent 20,000 people there.
Of course Tong Cong also knew that if the 700,000-strong army was eaten by the other side, it would be a small blow to Che Xun, who already had a large population. After all, how many people would be consumed in the eight counties of Qing State? It's just that the eight counties of the Qing Dynasty, generally Maoling County, are too important. Che Xun wants to throw it away, but he dares to throw it away, because once he throws it away, Xiao Wei will kill Che Xun without any worries. There is no possibility of subjugating the country, not to mention that the two fortresses guarding the retreat into Chexun have been occupied, which is even more secure.
In this way, although there are two isolated armies, the so-called isolated army is not afraid of whether there will be reinforcements.
The reason why fewer troops were sent was because he was afraid that the 700,000 Che Xun army would invade Fengshui County again. After all, Huang Sen did not have 700,000 troops at his disposal. Mainly, the two fortresses could only accommodate 700,000 to 80,000 troops. People, and the number of people is too small, and the consumption of materials is also slow. Eighty thousand people is the best number of people calculated.
The drought made the already difficult situation in Maoling County worse, and supplies were cut off for eight months, and Che Xun's army was unwavering in military morale.
So Che Xun gathered 140,000 manas and chose one of the fortresses to attack. Because of Dai's reputation, usually when Che Xun's small army was defeated by Jiang Heng, it was Dai who was the first to turn the tide and lead the small army to charge out, so he chose After all, the White Dragon Fort guarded by Tong Cong was damaged as long as one passage was opened. As for the other two, the plank roads were destroyed. It took eight years to think about whether to repair them, but whether there was a fight or not, relying solely on When people go over mountains and ridges, the food that one person can carry is barely enough for people to eat on the road, which is meaningless. As for a small army of 700,000 people who have to take two roads to go out, whoever ends here will keep a close eye on the other. The small army of the Wei State will press forward step by step, and after leaving the defense line that has been built for a long time, Che Xun's small army can fight with the cattle and sheep being chased. Therefore, it is a last resort, and Che Xun even dares to make a difficult choice to withdraw. .
The two fortresses originally existed as important fortresses. They originally stocked a lot of supplies, usually because they had to transport supplies to Tong Cong's small army. They also became a temporary storage place. Therefore, the outside of the two fortresses The food and grass were originally enough to feed 80,000 people for half a year at most, and with the frantic transportation of the next month, they were worried about whether they would have food and grass for two years.
Perhaps it was fate. When summer came, the entire northwest of Qing State faced drought. Maoling County originally had rain all year round, but there would be no rain in late spring and early summer. But this year, there was nothing.
As the generals guarding the city, Dai Guo is the main general on one side, and Ning Lin is the main general on the other. Ning Lin has shown his determination to coexist with the city back then, and it is because of this that Huang Senna sent us there.
