There are many water systems around the Five Rivers, among which the Beituo River flows from north to south, flowing southward into Tuo Lake. Southeast of Tuo Lake is Fulong's former Qin army camp.
Tuo Lake, Tianjing Lake in the east, and Huihe River in the west are distributed in sequence to the north of Wuhe.
The Wubao mountain village of Han Xizai, Zhou Zong and others is located to the north of Tuo Lake and is distributed on the east and west banks of the Tuo River.
To the north of Wuhe, there are dense rivers and lakes, fertile land, and mountains and plains dotted among them.
The Wubao and cottages are somewhat scattered.
Three guerrilla generals, Mu Chun, Chen Da and Xiao Mian, each led a battalion of troops. Under the guidance of guides and envoys sent by the Han and Zhou families, they quickly attacked those Wubao villages that did not surrender to Sihong.
At this time, after receiving the news that Sihong's army was moving south, Fulong had gathered more than 100,000 troops and headed north along Tuohu Lake.
Among the armies of the former Qin Dynasty, there were also naval troops.
Under the dispatch of the navy to transport troops and horses, the former Qin army was not slow to respond. Half of the 30,000 navy troops had already sailed from the Huaihe River to Tuo Lake and arrived at the key waterway in the middle of Tuo Lake, Phoenix Mouth.
When Wang Jing sent troops, he also mobilized the navy. The 10,000 navy troops led by Li Jun had already built a water fortress on the west bank of Fenghuangzui to guard key places.
The naval forces of both sides were not ready for a decisive battle, so they only conducted small-scale trials and stationed themselves in the water strongholds.
Fulong's infantry and cavalry were not that fast, so they gave the three guerrilla generals time to remove the fort.
Mu Chun, Chen Da and Xiao Mian, although the three of them are not famous, they are all solid third-level generals, and the soldiers and horses under their command are all elites tempered in the flames of war.
The Wubao mountain stronghold built by ordinary families and forces is vulnerable to elite soldiers and generals.
In less than two days, all the Wubao that did not surrender to Sihong were captured.
A large amount of materials and people were quickly transported to the rear through cloud trucks.
Three days later.
Wang Jing's 100,000 troops all came to Zhulonggou! A large number of civilian auxiliaries have already built forts here.
On a hillside on the north side of Zhulong Valley, craftsmen and civilian workers from the Construction Department built rolling camps here using large wood and stone materials.
"It is indeed a dangerous place! Mr. Han knows the terrain well. As long as we hold on to this place, Fulong's army will die if they march north!"
Wang Jing led his subordinates to the high point of the hillside, observed the surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Kan was invited and followed.
He looked forward and saw a large east-west ravine in front of him. This ravine might have been only a few feet wide in the Source World, but in the Chinese continent, it had become dozens of feet wide.
In the ravine, there are mixed rocks, trees, and not too deep water.
Spies from the Military Intelligence Department have already made inquiries.
This large ditch is called Zhulong ditch, which stretches hundreds of miles from east to west. The west side is blocked by ravines and rivers, making it impossible to deploy the army, while the east side extends into Tuo Lake.
Opposite the interface between Zhulonggou and Tuohu Lake is Fenghuangzui.
If you look down from high altitude.
Tuo Lake is like a big-headed fish swimming to the northeast, with a big head and a long tail!
At Yutou in the northeast, the lake is the widest.
Extending from the fish head to the body, there are left and right wings, and behind the two wings is a slender tail. This is also the key point of Tuo Lake. There is a corner extending into the lake on the east side, which is called Phoenix Mouth.
If they were stationed here, they could cover the lake on the south side.
Wang Jing did not let the navy camp at Fenghuangzui because Fenghuangzui and Wuhe Qianqin camp were connected by land, and even if they set up a water camp, they would be pulled out.
Therefore, a water village was built directly opposite Fenghuangzui, at the junction of Zhulonggou and Tuohu Lake.
It coincides with the army camp going south.
Zhulonggou serves as a fortress to block the army of the former Qin Dynasty. The Sihong army is distributed along the ditch, and the water army in the water village guards the lake. The defense line is extremely strong and makes good use of the terrain.
"The ravine in front is a natural danger, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be worth tens of thousands of elite troops!"
As a general, Yang Kan could naturally see the danger of the terrain ahead.
If Fulong leads his army northward, the first thing he will face is a wide ditch dozens of feet deep.
It may be a little narrow in some places, but with Wang Jing's troops stationed there, it's not that easy to cross.
What he could see, Fulong, as the general in charge of an army of 200,000, should also be able to see it.
Yang Kan had some doubts in his mind. He felt that Fulong didn't look like a fool. He couldn't lead hundreds of thousands of troops to seek death in front of this ravine.
"Could it be that General Zhennan is preparing to use the tactics used when Liu Bang and Overlord confronted each other in the chasm?"
His eyes lit up slightly.
In the original world, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were facing each other across a chasm in the Xingyang area. The two sides were at a stalemate. Even with the ability of the overlord Xiang Yu, he could not lead his elite troops to break through the chasm and defeat Liu Bang.
In the end, both sides consume each other.
Liu Bang had Xiao He sitting in Guanzhong, constantly replenishing grain and grass, but Xiang Yu's grain road was long, and Peng Yue kept harassing and intercepting grain from behind, and finally couldn't hold on.
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu negotiated a peace, which only gave Xiang Yu a step to retreat.
When Xiang Yu retreated, Liu Bang attacked decisively and tore up the contract he had just signed. However, Xiang Yu was short of food and grass, and the morale of the army was unstable. The entire army collapsed immediately and was defeated without a fight.
The Zhulong Valley in front of us seems to overlap with the historical gap...
"The key to this strategy is to send generals to harass the rear and cut off food routes..."
Yang Kan calculated secretly.
At this time, Han Xizai received praise, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly humbled himself.
Zhang Lin, Bu Zhi and others are also people who understand terrain strategy. They think the same as Wang Jing and are very satisfied with the terrain in front of them.
They all knew the strategy of going south this time.
There was no need for Wang Jing to send generals to go around and cut off the grain road. Fulong's food itself was not enough.
As long as Wang Jing's army drags Fulong here, Fulong will be defeated due to lack of food and grass.
Any general with some discernment can see this.
Fulong can naturally see it too.
But he had no choice.
It was a fact that he was short of food and grass, and Wang Jing took advantage of the danger and went south, hitting him even more severely.
If he didn't send a large army to fight, Wang Jing would be able to push all the way to the Wuhe camp.
He will also inevitably be defeated by then.
Heading north to fight, a quick decisive battle with Wang Jing's army, there is still a glimmer of hope of victory.
The two armies have not yet started fighting.
Wang Jing's chance of winning is already as high as 70%.
This is the power of temple calculation.
One day later.
While the auxiliary soldiers and civilians of the Sihong Army were still building earthen wall camps on the north side of the ditch to consolidate the defense line, the forward of Fulong's army also appeared in the sight of Wang Jing and others.
After Fulong's vanguard approached, they immediately cut down wood and quarried stone to build a camp.
There were also a large number of young people who were regarded as masters and followed the vanguard. Under the leadership of Fulong's soldiers, they continued to cut down the woods on the south and south side of Zhulong Valley.
"Is this making a trebuchet?"
After hearing the news, Wang Jing immediately came to a high place and watched the movement on the other side from a distance.
Use catapults to suppress the formation, and then storm the fortress?
It seemed that Fulong had only one option left.
