Chapter 1012 Zhiling County
Liangzhou.
This is the border between Jiaozhi and Dasong Jiaozhou Town Nanguan.
The Qinglong Army came out of Zhennan Pass and entered the boundary of Liangzhou.
Although the north of Dasong is in the cold winter, the weather in Jiaozhi is still very hot, just like the hot summer.
The soldiers walked less than twenty miles along the rugged mountain road, and their thin military uniforms were soaked in sweat.
"General, there is beacon fire in front of you." The army was moving, and Shang Yi suddenly pointed forward.
Looking at Qinshan, black smoke columns emerged from a mountain more than ten miles away.
Afterwards, smoke columns rose from other hills one after another, extending to a very distant place, like the beacon towers of the Great Wall in the North.
Qin Shan smiled coldly.
Fiberhome Communication is a commonly used method in war.
Jiaozhi is full of mountains, and a bonfire is set up on the hill every twenty or thirty miles.
In just one hour, the news of the enemy's invasion can be spread for four or five hundred miles.
For Jiaozhi, which is inconvenient for cavalry access, this is the best way to deliver military information.
"Asking the scouts to pay attention to the mountains and forests on both sides to prevent the Jiaozhi soldiers from stocking up on the mountains and rolling wood to attack." Qin Shan reminded Shang Yi.
Starting from Zhennan Pass, there is a mountain road about 50 meters wide.
This mountain road connects Zhiling County and Longyou County like a line.
After leaving Longyou County, they passed through the mountainous areas in the north of Jiaozhi and entered the plain area where the imperial capital of Jiaozhi is located.
It can be said that this mountain road, as well as the Qinglong Army's must-attack place for Zhiling County and Longyou County on the mountain road, is also a must-attack place for the Jiaozhi Army.
At the same time, this mountain road is also a must-pass road for the Qinglong Army.
Because other mountain roads in the north of Jiaozhi are hidden in deep mountains and old forests, there are many beasts, poisonous insects, and it is difficult to march.
After all, they can carry hundreds of cannons.
"Yes, General." After saying yes, Shang Yi sent an order.
The six teams of reconnaissance team consisting of hundreds of people, holding a telescope, carrying a Qin-style rifle, and hanging grenades on their waists to set out forward.
They marched five miles away from the front of the army and kept sending people into the mountains and forests on both sides to find out the situation.
at the same time.
After five beacons within a hundred miles were lit, the Jiaozhi army stationed in Zhiling County immediately became alert.
General Ruan Youjin, Jiaozhi, came to the north gate after hearing the news.
Looking at Fenghuo, his eyes were dull.
Jiaozhi has always followed the Central Plains system, so the military system is similar to Dasong.
The general controlled the troops and horses of the whole country, and under his command, General Zhenwu, Duwei and other generals.
"General, it must be that Da Song's army has come." Ruan You's side was General Zhenwu Gao Yaozhi, who showed concern.
"Reorganize the troops and prepare to face the enemy." Ruan Youjin gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
Last year, he led 200,000 troops to set up camp in Nanguan.
After sieging the city for eight consecutive days, they found nothing except for 30,000 corpses.
Now, he still remembers the tragic scene at that time.
Later he received an order, temporarily retreated and stationed troops in Zhiling County.
It wasn't long before he realized that the Piman had also hit a nail in Yunzhou.
Both directions were frustrated, Governor Mark Wen and French Army General Golle discussed and temporarily stopped the attack and waited for the changes in the battle situation in the north of Dasong.
But waiting for now, they did not receive any favorable news, but the Da Song army came.
"Yes, General." Gao Yaozhi shouted.
Currently, half of Jiaozhi's elite troops are in Zhiling County, and half of the troops are stationed in Hanoi.
After the Dasong Navy conquered the Britons Australia horizontally in the southern region, it stationed its troops in Luzon. In recent months, it has repeatedly fought with the Steady people in Jakar and fought for strongholds.
The coast on the east side of Jiaozhi was exposed to the Dasong Navy as if it were unprepared.
Their emperor Ruan Chushan was deeply worried. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, half of his troops had to be transferred to station in Hanoi.
Therefore, they can dispatch 100,000 troops at present.
Gao Yaozhi left, and Ruan You entered and returned to the city.
Since the Dasong army took the initiative to attack, he naturally had to use his defensive advantages to defend. The only regret that he was that the mountain road was covered with stones and could not dig trenches.
Otherwise, the defense of Zhiling County will be stronger.
Under his command, the Jiaozhi army became busy.
One by one, the field cannons were pushed onto the front wall like the city guard cannons.
The soldiers equipped with rifled rifles were also arranged on the north wall to defend against the enemy by relying on battlements.
Everything was ready, Ruan Youjin ordered the soldiers to conduct investigations and informed the distance between Dasong's army at any time.
Soldiers were sent to ambush the narrow mountain road.
When the Dasong army passed by, they pushed the rocks and killed the enemy.
Time passes.
The sun rises from the willow branches to the middle sky, and then sets westward from the middle sky.
At about the afternoon of the afternoon, the three thousand ambush soldiers he sent fled back in a panic, and less than a thousand remained, and some of them were injured.
Seeing this, Ruan Youjin was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"
The general led the army said sadly: "According to the general's order, we were ambushed in Hezui Mountain forty miles away. We never thought that we were discovered by the soldiers of the Dasong army. We shot them and threw things that would explode. Many soldiers were frightened and fled in a hurry and fell from the mountain and died, and many others were beaten to death."
When Ruan Youjin heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
The secretly Taoist Da Song army was really free of water when it marched.
The commander general is a powerful figure, not a fool.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, "So, the Da Song army is coming soon."
"I'm afraid the striker will arrive in less than half an hour." The leader replied panting.
Ruan Jinshan nodded and narrowed his eyes.
In this battle, the Western-Turkish coalition forces had high expectations for them.
The Ruan tribe of Jiaozhi also wanted to use the east wind of the Western natives to enter the Great Song and realize Jiaozhi's long-cherished wish, which is to occupy Jiaozhi.
What the Ruan clan least wants to see is the rise of the Central Plains dynasty.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, every member of the Ruan clan knew how Jiaozhi escaped from the control of the Central Plains dynasty.
In the eyes of the Central Plains dynasty, they are real traitors.
When the Central Plains dynasty is prosperous and the emergence of a powerful emperor in this period of prosperity will inevitably lead to the conquest of Jiaozhi, a traitor, and re-incorporate Jiaozhi under the Central Plains.
But they knew that once the Central Plains dynasty occupied Jiaozhi, their Ruan family would never be able to survive.
Therefore, for Jiaozhi, every war with the Central Plains dynasty is a battle of life and death.
This time, the same is true.
They were so active in dealing with the King of Yan because they were afraid that Da Song would rise again.
To stop Da Song from rising, they are willing to pay all the price.
Even if Jiaozhi is broken, they will drive away the Dasong army and safeguard the interests of the Ruan tribe.
"This ambush failed, I will spare you all the time, but who dares to take a step back and kill immediately in the next defense of the city!" Ruan Youjin suddenly looked at the leading general fiercely.
The leading general immediately lowered his head.
"Get out!" Ruan Youjin shouted again.
Then he climbed to the top of the city and looked to the north.
He wanted to let the Dasong army flow into a river of blood under Zhiling County.
Chapter completed!
