Chapter 76 Time flies, three years in a flash!
Thank you to my friends for the rewards of [Shame o_o], and the Taoist is very grateful.
On the edge of the East Earth, Songmen Pass!
On the city wall, the civilians wearing coarse linen clothes carried the rolling wood in the garden, and dripping sweat kept flowing out of their foreheads. They gritted their teeth, and walked step by step.
The wide and tall city walls can be seen.
Not only this here, but everywhere else.
Songmen Pass was built three years ago and was built by the King of Song himself.
This place is the junction between the Tang and Song countries, and now it is also a bridgehead for war and the front line for Song countries to resist Tang countries. Three years ago, the King of Song led a million troops to attack Chang'an and wanted to swallow Tang countries, but suffered a crushing defeat.
Under the protection of the guards beside him, King Song fled in a hurry, and was extremely desolate along the way. The originally peaceful cities immediately became noisy.
Especially close to Chang'an City, it made King Song not dare to enter these cities to repair them, for fear that he would be bound to the next step and present them to Chang'an.
King Song ran all the way, escaped most of the Tang Kingdom, and stopped at Songmen Pass.
King Song sent troops this time and raised millions of troops to defeat the Tang State in one fell swoop. He dared not stay at most of the newly acquired Tang State territory, but he had been operating the Songmen Pass for more than ten years and had already returned to his heart.
Near Songmen Pass, the King of Song built the entire Songmen Pass himself, and based on the surrounding mountains, he built this Songmen Pass to resist the Tang Dynasty.
This place did not disappoint him. In the cities of Dongtu, the cities were lost one after another. When the flag changed into Tang again, Songmen Pass successfully resisted the attack of the Tang army. It hindered the unstoppable offensive of the Tang State and stabilized the Song State. It did not lose its country in a complete defeat, but it directly lost its country.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the Tang army's offensive against him has never stopped in the Songmen Pass.
The Tang army's reinforcements continued to arrive and took attacks on Songmen Pass again and again, but the final result was that they returned in vain again and again, and they could not do anything to Songmen Pass in the end.
In three years, the Tang army had not crossed the Songmen Pass. However, the Song State had already won a chance to breathe. Now in the third year, the Song army is no longer satisfied with being attacked by the Tang army. But he guessed the defensive momentum. I don’t know when the Song army had begun to emerge from the Songmen Pass and attack the Tang army. Such things have become more and more frequent in recent times.
The sky became more and more gloomy. White clouds gathered together, but they formed thick black clouds, and the sky and the earth were dim. The sharp northeast wind kept whistling before it blew.
Click,
A silver-white dragon and snake kept spreading their teeth and claws in the sky, and with his movements, it brought a ray of light to the earth.
But he came quickly and disappeared quickly. When he disappeared, a heavy muffled thunder sounded.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rain fell from the sky. The people who were originally busy on the city wall immediately became messy and messy. Many people began to find ways to shelter from the rain.
The originally busy city wall soon returned to peace, and the city wall was filled with various materials that were put down.
The city wall was constantly washed by rain, and blood slowly flowed down from the city wall. Basically, Songmen Pass, which was fighting every day, was not only often repaired, but also scattered countless blood. Under the rain, it directly turned into blood.
Outside the Song Gate Pass, in the Tang army camp.
A big banner with the word "Tang" written on it is fluttering in the wind, and the rain is constantly falling. The banner has a bright light, gently dragging the rain water, letting the rain water fall in other places, and the banner itself is not moist.
The rain kept pouring down, and the sound of lightning and thunder was endless.
At this moment, in this military tent, there were a group of generals wearing armored men kneeling.
The one who was in the main seat was an old man with white hair and beard. He was tall and burly, with bright eyes and a rolling evil spirit. This one was a general of the Tang Dynasty.
He knelt in front of the table, slapped it directly on the table, with a clear palm print, five fingers penetrated deep into the table, the general looked displeased and angry.
"It's been three years, and it's been three years since we attacked Song in a blink of an eye."
"The Songmen Pass has not been captured yet. The king is already angry. The waiter is at the outer gate. This is the second time that the waiter has been sent to inquire,"
"It's only three things. The waiter who came for the third time was not asking about the war, but changing his general or withdrawing his troops."
The general roared loudly, and continued to say the words in his mouth; "This Songmen Pass has been fighting for three years and countless dead men. If he withdraws his troops like this, will you be willing?"
"Of course I'm not willing to give up," Wang Huchen was the first person to jump out, and he continued in agreement. "So many brothers were killed and injured, and the last thing we had was to withdraw our troops. What face did we have to meet the elders of our hometown?"
"General Wang said it well,"
"I saw that the destruction of Song Zhigong was right in front of me, and I was blocked by this small Song Gate Pass for three years,"
"Well said it, I will not give up, and you will not give up,"
The general glanced at everyone, paused with his words, and then continued to preach; "This time he attacked Song, he was blocked from Songmen Pass, for three years,"
"The confidence in Chang'an City has been almost wiped out in the past three years. There has been no progress in a month. The possibility of replacing the general is very low. Changing the general in the last battle is a taboo in military strategists. The king is wise and will never choose this. Then he can only blame the retreating army all the way."
"As a general, I will be the first to be the general. Although I will be punished, it is not serious, but you will be different."
"If you want to lead troops in the future, your hope is slim. This time, your return will offset your past merits. In the end, you will only get a free job in Chang'an City. There is no possibility of progress. You can only live a lifelong life and wait for death."
The general spoke this time but did not talk about how to attack Songmen Pass, but instead talked about the consequences of this time if the troops were withdrawn.
"You, and you,"
"This time, I am attracted by the destruction of Song, but now I can't get it, but I'm also implicated. If you want to have the next chance to make meritorious service, you just have to wait until the sow can climb a tree."
"The general doesn't need to say much, we already know the consequences," a general stood up directly, with a scar on his face, his mouth cracked, but it became ferocious, looking extremely terrifying. He continued loudly; "The withdrawal of troops and the future will be ruined. The general would rather die than live a mediocre life," he continued.
"We are seeking wealth and honor in danger. Since we want to achieve the merit of destroying Song, how can we not take risks? This period of time is too comfortable. After the sky clears, we will bring our own soldiers and climb the cloud ladder to attack the city."
"If you don't break the city, you will never retreat."
"Yes, it's now a critical moment. We can't stand any retreat because we have no way out," another person stood up and said.
Seeing that everyone's fighting spirit had been aroused, the serious expression on the general's face subsided a little.
"Songmen Pass has always been able to stop it, and it is all about this city wall."
"It is absolutely impossible to collapse the city wall of Songmen Pass, but we have always taken a head-on attack, but why not try to detour and break through elsewhere this time?"
"When Songmen Pass was built, it was to prevent our Tang Dynasty soldiers from attacking, and all resources were eager to strengthen them on this city wall. Therefore, there were some deformities when it was built. It was facing us, with arrow towers and towering city walls. However, it did not have much defense power when facing Song State. As long as the side of the army rushed, Songmen Pass could be taken down by then," Wang Huchen stood up, walked to a map hanging on the side, and spoke directly.
Wang Huchen's words attracted everyone's eyes and looked at the map.
"This matter is simple, but if you want to go to Bianliang, Song State, we are the only way to go. We will walk around Songmen Pass and take other roads. We don't know how many miles we have to go around. We have to walk through Song State along the way. We can't cover up its traces, unless there is a road that can bypass Songmen Pass among the surrounding mountain walls."
"What the general said is right. There is a nearby place where there is a way to bypass Songmen Pass. Since the attack on Songmen Pass before the New Year, I have sent people to search the road to bypass Songmen Pass, but in the end I found a dangerous road. After a year of secret repair, it has been able to appear behind it. However, the mountains are steep and the army cannot pass at all. But if it passes through a side army, there will be no big problem," Wang Huchen began to speak directly along the other party's words.
Looking at Wang Huchen who was explaining, the generals showed joy.
He kept praising Wang Huchen, but the person he looked at was not Wang Huchen, but the general sitting upright in the upper position.
Because of such a plan, they didn't believe that Wang Huchen could think of it.
I realized in my heart that this was the contribution of the general to start cultivating his juniors and conquering Songmen Pass. For the general, it was nothing.
Over the past few hundred years, the generals destroyed countless countries. Compared with such contributions, it is not worth mentioning to capture the Song Gate Pass. As long as the Song Gate Pass is captured, the Song capital Bianliang will be in front of you. During this period, the horse is flat and there is no danger to defend, and you can directly encircle Bianliang.
The great achievements of destroying Song Taotian are at your fingertips.
