It was getting darker.

The Yellow River has been traveling through the mountains since childhood, with rapids rolling, waves slamming on the rocks, rolling up thousands of piles of broken snow, and then thunder exploded from the rocks.

In the fog, the tall peaks on both sides of the Yellow River were covered with a layer of hideousness in the night fog.

If you want to win Huangzhou, not only Huangzhou City, but also Zongge City and Qingtang City. Only by taking down these three major cities in Huangzhou can you sweep along this line to the north and south. The first is Huangzhou City.

The Song army could use the spirit of traversing the rugged and unruly mountain. There were hundreds of roads to Huangzhou, but it was impossible. The Song army successfully crossed the unruly mountain. One was that it was unprepared, and the other was that it had only a few thousand troops. If it wanted to recover Huangzhou, it was impossible for Wei Huo Fusheng to do so. Therefore, Wang Shao's entourage brought 40,000 Song troops. There were many troops and strong forces, but the supply was heavy, and the speed was not fast, and there were not many roads to choose from.

This situation will not only occur in Huangzhou, but also in all areas of Huangzhou.

The vast mountains make it very few roads to connect to each other. Often, one is on the side of the mountain and the other is on the other side of the mountain. It is only a few hundred meters in a straight line. However, to reach it, you must circle around the mountains for dozens of miles before you can reach it. Huangzhou is connected to the outside world, but there are only a dozen roads that can provide access to tens of thousands of troops.

Zheng Lang set up a regional silkworm-style joint defense in Jingyuan Road and southern Yongzhou. Huangzhou does not need to be artificially arranged, but it is a natural regional silkworm-style joint defense.

And these dozen roads can only be chosen by the Song army.

The first is to go to the southwest of Hezhou, and then pass through the location of the Qiao tribe of Dong Zhengjiu's family, reach Guzhou, and enter Huangzhou. This road is obviously impossible. Not to mention that the road is far away, it will take many fierce battles. The Song army could not transfer the army of supplies to Minzhou in the south. Then climb to Huangzhou step by step.

The second road starts from Hezhou. Go south along the Daxia River, then turn northwest, and after nearly 300 miles, you can cut into Guzhou and attack Huangzhou. You can also attack Zongge City directly, but this road is still far away, and like a little ghost in Danan City, guarding the Yellow River. Besides, you must take Danan City. From Guzhou City to Huangzhou or Zongge, the road is dangerous and the road is rugged. If Tubo is sending camps in important places, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, if you open that road casually, you will sacrifice a lot.

Therefore, Wang Shao chose the third road, attacked from the Yellow River Bridge, directly from the Yellow River Bridge, Cedba Jincheng, Miaochuan City, and then passed through the Huangshui Canyon and attacked Huangzhou.

This road is not easy to attack.

Tubo not only stationed a large number of troops, but also had three difficulties, namely the Yellow River Bridge, Bajincheng and Huangshui Gorge.

The first difficulty is the Yellow River Bridge.

Wang Shao defeated Guizhang. Later, he consolidated the fruits of victory and built a checkpoint east of the Yellow River, Anxiang Pass. Dong Ji also stationed a camp in the west of the Yellow River, guarding the Yellow River Bridge. If he wanted to defeat Dong Ji, the first level was to successfully capture the Yellow River Bridge.

Wang Shao transferred Miao Su to Guanzhong, Anxiang in advance.

Also accompanying were several generals, Yao Lin, Guo Cheng and Jia Yan.

Guo Cheng was transferred from Yanzhou. This battle is very important. Before Zheng Lang set off, he transferred Guo Cheng, Yao, Qingzhou boxing champion Liu Yan, veteran Hebin, Li Hao, Zhang Zheng, Zhang Yun and other generals from other places to Qinfeng Road or Xihe Road.

There are also four technical officials, Wang Te, Song Shu, Zhou Wancheng, and Pinglongfu.

There are two students who were studying physics students who were recruited by Zheng Lang in the Qiusuo Academy in Zhengzhou. There are two students who were studying physics students from the Imperial Academy, but they have one thing in common and then participated in the development of artillery.

In the battle of pacifying Hehuang, Wang Shao rarely used artillery. One reason was that artillery was too expensive. When a cannon fired, it would be worth ten thousand taels of gold and could not bear to use it. The other reason was that Wang Shao was familiar with cold weapons, but he did not know much about this thing and could not use it. Therefore, it would be better not to use it.

Based on this situation, Zheng Lang transferred four technical officials to conduct artillery technical guidance.

The person who followed Guo Cheng to Anxiangguan was the technical official Wang Te.

At this time, in mid-June, the capital was hot, but when it arrived in Xiaojishan, it was already very cool at night. Even when it rained, the temperature was only about ten degrees Celsius.

Wang Shao's army marched forward and barely arrived at Xiangzi City, and the battle had begun.

Miao Shu walked out of the room and looked at the sky outside. It was a cloudy day today, which was very important. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was the time to kill people.

The tall mountains and rivers and the gloomy night can just cover the bridge grabbing operation.

Miao Shu returned to the room and looked at Wang Te and said, "Wang Te, it depends on you for your actions tonight."

Wang Te admired the Western Army, especially Miao Suo, very much, but he despised the Western Army's use of artillery. A big killer weapon was used like this. He nodded and said, "Don't worry."

"That's good, get ready to go."

A thousand Song troops began to wrap the horses and stuff them on them to chew them.

Hundreds of civilians pushed out fifty baggage chariots.

"Set off."

A thousand and hundreds of people were touching the Yellow River.

The night was dark and although there was not much night wind, the tall mountains on both sides protected the Song army well in the night.

Miao Suo led the Song army to touch the Yellow River quietly, and did not act immediately, but looked at the other side.

The Tubo people on the other side were strictly guarded, and many soldiers were patrolling with torches. Zheng Lang came to the northwest in person. Not to mention Dong Wen, even the Khitan knew that Zheng Lang's intention was not wine. However, Dong Wen didn't care too much. After the Yang family established their foothold in Tubo, they created the glory with iron blood. The peak of the glory was the Qingtang of Huangzhou.

Xixia returned many times with more than 100,000 troops, and the Song army had only 40,000 troops, so what could it do? However, the vigilance was strengthened in every important place.

Wang Te brought the soldiers to set up artillery. The accuracy of the artillery was too outrageous, even more outrageous than the bed crossbow. The accuracy was not required, but only one angle was required. It would rather kill less enemies than let the shells fall on the Yellow River Bridge. If dozens of shells landed on the Yellow River Bridge together and broke the Yellow River Bridge, it would be a huge mistake.

Others have not taken action and have to wait until the fourth update, when the enemy falls asleep, it is time to launch an attack.

Miao Shu came to the Yellow River and stared at the other side. The Tubo people were talking, and the voice was loud. Although the Yellow River made a loud roar, with the help of the night wind, some of the conversations could be heard. They were all Tubo language. However, Miao Shu had been in the northwest for a long time and could understand some of them. Several people were talking about women. One of them seemed to have brought a very beautiful girl and was showing off to his companions. After listening for a while, there was no other valuable content. Miao Shu came back and ordered his subordinates: "Everyone, take a break."

There are still two hours left before the fourth update, so you must accumulate energy at this time.

Just after a while, Miao Shu stood up.

At some point, the wind stopped. A bright moon slowly emerged from the clouds, and the light of Kunhuang sprinkled on the earth.

The Yellow River is still emptied by turbid waves, and then pieces of broken beads fall down, like golden pearls. The surrounding mountains are foggy, with misty fairy aura, and layers of yellow ribbons are on the edge. Rows of peaks are inserted into the sky, and the top cannot be seen. At this moment, the world is extremely magnificent.

But this is not a good phenomenon.

For only a moment, the fog became less and less under the moonlight.

When Miao Shu took out the hourglass from his arms, the time may not be so accurate, but it is definitely less than the third update.

Seeing that the clouds in the sky became increasingly faded, Miao Shu had to order: "Start!"

"Here." Wang Te commanded the soldiers and civilians to load the shells, and then said to Miao Shu: "General Miao, okay."

Miao Shu didn't say anything, and he used his hands to go down everything.

Fifty Fuyuan cannons roared at the same time, and then fifty streams of light flashed out and landed on the other side, some landed on the Tubo camp, some landed on the mountains, and then the explosion sounded. Before it was over, the second wave of shells passed through the sky and fell towards Hexi.

The Fuyuan cannon has not a very long range, with a maximum range of only 400 steps, and its effective range is only 300 or 100 steps, and its power is not very large. Moreover, it is not as light as the tiger squat cannon, and one person can take it away. However, it is equipped with a sub-cannon, which can fire five to seven shells in a short time by rotating the sub-cannon. The probability of a chamber blowing is very small, making it easy to operate and safe.

Waves of artillery shells hit the other side.

Every wave fell, a shrill scream came from the sixth wave of shells. Through the thin night fog, you could see the commotion in the Tubo camp opposite. Many Tubo people got up and fled in all directions.

Miao Shu said: "Crush."

Guo Cheng was the first to rush over with his troops.

He ordered the order when he came. Guo became the vanguard during the general attack, Yao Lin was the deputy pioneer, Miao was the central army, and Jia Yan was the responsible army. There was no need to give instructions at this time.

Seeing the Song army attacking, a big man flashed out among the Tubo people, holding a mace in his hand and stabbed Guo Cheng. Seeing him rushing out with several followers, the Tubo people behind him shouted loudly: "Bagulu."

It is also the first brave general in the eyes of the Tubo people here.

The two armies had already passed the era when Xue Rengui and Tielejiu Warriors fought one-on-one. At this time, the Tubo people were in chaos, and there was no need to fight one-on-one. However, Guo Cheng was also a powerful general, and some people called him the second Zhang Ji of the Song Dynasty.

Bagulu rushed over on a horse, but Guo Cheng refused to let him forward. With a sound of wind, the mace smashed down at Guo Cheng with the power of Wanjun.

Guo Cheng's arm strength is also amazing, and he can pull a strong bow of three and a half stones, but when he hears the wind, he probably may be slightly better than him. He can fight one-on-one, but there is no need to compete with his arm strength. Besides, the long spear in his hand also has the disadvantage of competing with his arm strength, which is not pleasing.

Guo Cheng gently pushed the Bagulu's mace away. The two fought for four or five rounds, but Guo Cheng grabbed a gap and lowered his head. He let the mace swept across the swept, and stabbed it hard on Bagulu's lower abdomen and stabbed it deeply.

Bagulu screamed in pain, and fell down his war horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

He was a god of war in the hearts of more than a thousand Tubo people who were stationed in the defense. Seeing that the god of war was brought down, no Tubo people dared to resist.

Guo Cheng and Yao Lin led the crowd to pursue.

Miao Su led the central army to cross the Yellow River Bridge slowly, and finally took the first level. He wiped his sweat and looked at the Fuyuan artillery transported from behind. The battle was successful, and the artillery played an important role, otherwise, even if he took advantage of his unpreparedness and slackness, he would not lose his sacrifice. After taking down the Yellow River Bridge and completing the task assigned by Wang Shao, Miao Su was determined and began to make people clean the battlefield, capture prisoners, repair camps, and wait for Wang Shao's army to arrive.

After a long time, it finally became quiet. Miao Shu ordered the three armies to prepare for a rest, but it made him feel strange that Guo Cheng had not come back yet by this time.

Miao Jue was worried and sent a scout to investigate. After a long time, the scout came back to report and said, "General Miao, Guo Cheng took advantage of the opportunity to seize Bajin Fort."

"Take Bakinburg?" Almost everyone was in a state of stagnation.

Bajin Fort was the second difficulty for the Song army to go west. It was only forty or fifty miles away from the Yellow River Bridge. There were two thousand Tubo soldiers stationed in it. The fortress owner Dobaro was a famous brave general of Tubo. This issue doesn't matter. Since the Western Army conquered Tubo, it has won many times with few defeats. Even Jing Sili faced the four or five times the army led by Gui Zhang. If Li Shi did not supervise the formation, the victory or defeat would be unknown.

The key is the terrain of Bakinburg.

This fort is built on the main road of Bajinling. The city is located on the hillside. The roads on all sides of the roads on the road to Bajinburg are hung with high mountains and ridges on one side, and the cliffs are hanging thousands of feet deep, and the depth of the cliffs is unmeasurable.

In terms of the dangerous terrain, even the Shimen Fort during the Tang Dynasty was even worse.

How much did the Tang Dynasty pay to seize the Shimen Fort? Only hundreds of Tubo people in the fort stood firm. Geshuhan mobilized 60,000 troops and paid tens of thousands of casualties of the Tang army to successfully seize the fort. This is the real general's success and tens of thousands of bones.

Guo Cheng and Yao Lin had only 300 pioneer soldiers, but they actually went to "take" Bajin Fort?

Everyone has been petrified.
