Fifteenth day brings opportunity

Yun Zheng saw a picture when he was very young.=====

The picture shows a small car. At the top there is a swan holding a rope in his arms and trying to pull the car into the sky. However, a big fish also has a rope tied to the body. He wants to pull the car into the water. A pig hums and wants to pull the car forward, but behind him is a sheep pulling the car backward. Whether it is a swan, a fish, a pig or a sheep, they are all working very hard, so the car has to stay in place and keep moving.

The teacher said that this picture is actually telling children a truth: if you want the car to move, you must use the power in one direction.

The truth is easy to understand, but the four words "jointly" are a bit difficult to do.

Everyone knows that as long as everyone works together and strives to go to one place, they often create miracles, but when it comes to reality, the scene in that picture is often the most realistic.

Fortunately, humans are intelligent. In order to gather the power of everyone, they have created two things: power and violence. Otherwise, humans' legs that are not fast enough, their skin that is not tough enough, and their claws that are not sharp enough, have been eaten up by tigers and leopards in the prehistoric period.

Power and violence are actually twin brothers. Power relies on violence to make everyone united.

Yun Zheng has great power and sufficient violence, so all the garrison forces on the Yanmen Pass defense line must listen to him. If he doesn't listen, he will use his power and use violence to drive everyone to work together.

Therefore, it is a key criterion to test whether a commander is qualified. Whether the subordinates can be strong and powerful together is the key criterion. If we use this criterion to measure it, Yun Zheng is undoubtedly a very qualified commander. He is the swan in the sky, driving the fish in the river and the pigs and sheep on the ground to drag the cart forward in one direction.

Xiao Huoer is different. Guo Hengchuan, who is furious like a lion, is the most determined representative of attacking Yanmen Pass, while Wugu Du, who was ordered to take charge of the logistics of the Liao army, is a staunch retreater. The envoy from Nanjing urged Xiao Huoer to break through Ningwu Pass and take a detour to encircle Yanmen Pass. Xiao Huoer himself hopes to stay away from the powerful Song army in Yanmen Pass and attack the Pianguan close to the Yellow River.

What the young Xiao Huoer lacks most in the Liao army is prestige and power. Whether it is Guo Hengchuan, who is respectful, the super noble Wugu Du of the Liao Kingdom, or the envoy Yelu Dagu Capital, who came out of the Nanyuan Palace of Nanjing, lacked the minimum respect for him.

After three days of fruitless debate, Xiao Huoer helplessly divided the army in his hands into three parts. The largest part was 200,000 to Guo Hengchuan to attack Yanmen Pass. The 100,000 Beijing troops were handed over to Yelu Dagu, the envoy of the Nanyuan King, to capture Ningwu Pass. The remaining 50,000 elite Liao people were led by Xiao Huoer himself to capture the Pianguan on the bank of the Yellow River. In his opinion, this was the safest way of combat. Each attack direction maintained a suppressive advantage in numbers. No matter which army of these three armies made a breakthrough, it was just around the corner to defeat Yun Zheng, a famous general who had been deified by the Song people.

After hearing the news, Yun Zheng sprayed out his mouth with a mouthful of tea, stood up in surprise, and asked the scouts repeatedly if they had read it wrong. When the news collected by the sixteen scouts was exactly the same, Hai Dongqing in the sky also saw three armies dispersed. Yun Zheng burst into tears with joy. He dreamed that the Liao army could disperse. If those armies were hugging each other, he would have no room for lip service. At this moment, he really felt that he was his mother, Tianlang Star, a Tianlang Star that deserves to be invincible.

The 50,000 elite soldiers in my hands could not defeat the 350,000 elite Liao army on the plains, but it seems that it is not too difficult for my 20,000 elite soldiers to kill Xiao Huoer's 50,000 cavalry. As long as the terrain is right and the time is right, there is no reason why Xiao Huoer can't be killed under the city of Panguan.

So, the army of the Song Dynasty also started to run at high speed, leaving Li Dongchu and Chu Dazhi, the troops who were best at defending, defending Yanmen Pass, and then distributed 5,000 people to Wu Jie, with a total of 25,000 people facing the crazy Guo Hengchuan's troops. In order to confuse the Liao people, Yun Zheng's flag was left at Yanmen Pass, and the substitute who looked extremely like Yun Zheng, who brought civil and military generals all day long with them.

He himself took his 15,000 subordinates led by Xiaolin and Liang Ji, Peng Jiu, and Wu Jie's five thousand men, and took advantage of the night to disappear behind Yanmen Pass...

Guo Hengchuan had been staying in Baicaokou for a day and a night. At this time, he saw Baicaokou's defense and regretted why he had to attack Yanmen Pass.

If 300,000 people raided Pianguan or Ningwuguan together, as long as they were willing to go in, there would be a day of attack, but the Yanmen Pass in front of them had surpassed their own knowledge.

Baicaokou is one of the eighteen passes in Yanmen. One pass and two forts are: Taihe Fort in the south and Changsheng Fort in the north. It is built across the continuous mountains in the middle. It is built across the river. It has three narrow walls, six clear gates, six fort platforms, and is connected to the Great Wall on the mountain from the east to the east.

According to veterans like Guo Hengchuan, it is impossible to take down this pass without losing tens of thousands of people. The mountain road is too narrow and the mountain is steep. Standing outside the pass, you can see the rolling wood and stones stored high on the mountain. In addition, the powerful gunpowder bullets of the Song people, these things require human lives to be consumed.

Looking back at the troubled sons and nephews of Guo, Guo Hengchuan shook his head. These young nephews are on the battlefield for the first time. If their Haier and Shaner are still there, they will not show the expression that affects the morale of the army. Even Song'er will only think about how to break the formation, rather than being afraid.

Guo Hengchuan has always warned himself not to think about these things. This will affect his mind. The most taboo thing for the general before the battle was to be restless. No matter how calm he was, when he saw a big flag with Guo character rising from Baicaokou Pass, his temples thundered.

A young Guo nephew said happily: "Uncle, it is my elder brother's banner. I went over to talk to my elder brother and begged him to give me a pass and come back. My elder brother loves me the most and will definitely change his mind."

Guo Hengchuan was shocked and quickly stopped him from dying, but he was one step slower. The reckless young man rode his horse all the way, and the elder brother ran towards the pass with a shout, and he didn't look back no matter how Guo Hengchuan called.

"Brother, I am Xiao Shijiu. Uncle has come with an army of 200,000. Yanmen Pass cannot be defended. Come back quickly. The troops here are all our own people. Xiao Huoer is not here. Brother, come back quickly. As long as you offer a pass, we will say that you are a fraudulent surrender. No one will blame you. Brother, come back quickly."

The thief stood on the city gate and looked at the boy named Xiao Shijiu strangely. After hearing his call, he smiled and said to the thief who was holding the Baniu Crossbow: "Are you sure to kill him?"

The thief smiled and said, "You are just a fisherman. You didn't catch a big fish, but you caught a small fish. What if it's a fish, my brother will want it."

After saying that, the Baniu Crossbow had a hammer and a thick siege crossbow flew out. The distance was too close. The young man didn't even have time to shout, and the huge siege crossbow, which was like a shovel, tear apart his body.

Guo Hengchuan closed his eyes in pain, and the sound of the Guo relatives shouting Xiao Shijiu came from his ears. He resisted the urge to vomit blood. Guo Hengchuan jumped out of his teeth, word by word: "Login, prepare for a trencher!"

Yun Zheng had already ordered the cutting down of the willow trees on the wasteland, and the two-foot-high stumps were not enough to use. Guo Hengchuan collected trees within a radius of hundreds of miles and began to build simple trenchers. The original trenchers in the army were all distributed to Xiao Huoer by the black bone poison.

The Liao people in front of Jiang Zhe seemed to be anxious to attack the city. Ningwu Pass had been completely renovated after half a year of renovation. Jiang Zhe even creatively built two protruding walls forward when building the city wall. With these two protruding walls, the front of Ningwu Pass became three relatively narrow alleys, changing the previous wide terrain, greatly enhancing the enemy's angle of receiving strikes, from one side to three sides.

Yun Zheng had previously talked about this kind of bastion structure, and Jiang Zhe had only seen the sketch. Now that it has become a reality, he found that the naked city walls of the Song Dynasty were really stupid. With such a good way, it immediately increased the difficulty of the enemy to conquer the city by triple.

The reason why Yelu Dagu chose Ningwu Pass as his breakthrough point was that he had been to Ningwu Pass. When he was hitting Caogu, there were too few tribes that he led to break through Ningwu Pass. In his opinion, as long as he had more troops and more firm attacks at that time, as long as he was not afraid of losing his tribe, it would not be difficult to capture Ningwu Pass.

However, the Ningwu Pass in front of him was completely different from the Ningwu Pass in his memory. The broken city walls in the past disappeared, and were replaced by tall walls made of stones. The three-meter-high walls have now become four meters high. The stones are only visible and outlined with Baihui, which are not only beautiful but also indicate absolute solidity.

What made his scalp tingle the most were the two prominent walls. He could even imagine that as long as his army came to the city, the two prominent walls would definitely be like rain...

Jiang Zhe very much hoped that these Liao people could test the attack ability of the new fortress. If the effect was good, he would write memorials and promote this structure in all border castles in the Song Dynasty. This is of far-reaching significance and is by no means comparable to a victory.

However, the cautious Yelu Dagu disappointed him. The Liao army slowly retreated and began to camp after retreating ten miles away. It seemed that the Liao generals on the opposite side were going to confront him for a long time. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
