Chapter 35: The Gate of Hell

It was not far from Linzhou to Lanzhou. I walked for two days mainly because it was Zong Chuke's

He is a person who can enjoy it, and this is not necessarily a disadvantage. Many people can enjoy history, such as Kou Zhun and Guan Zhong, but it does not hinder their reputation. But these days, they have no intention of enjoying it. Every day they lie on the map and then discuss with their subordinates.

But the result was a little unexpected, and he did not encounter any trouble along the way and came to Lanzhou smoothly. Of course, this was an ostensible action. Another 5,000 cavalry led by Qin Bin, with simple dry food. With the cooperation of the army, they quickly crossed the Yellow River, headed all the way to the northeast, and took Sanlipo.

After capturing Sanlipo, a large army was divided into more troops, and the army on the southeast bank of the Yellow River was cut off the eight states in half, and it also formed a whole with Guo Yuanzhen's army.

And there is one biggest advantage, that is, it can attack or defend, and the offense is full of crises, but the defense should be safe and sound.

Everything went smoothly until now, and it made Zong Chuke suspicious.

After receiving the war report from Sanlipo, he did not encounter resistance. Instead, he encountered harassment from the Bloody Camp from time to time on the road, and hundreds of people were sacrificed. However, after arriving at Sanlipo, he set up a camp and took advantage of the terrain, and no longer had the bloody camp soldiers harassed him. He had sent someone to inform Guo Yuanzhen.

But Qin Bin asked Zong Chuke to send troops immediately. Although there were a large number of people, he always felt a little furious in his heart when he stayed in the hinterland of Bazhou.

Zong Chuke took the battle report and called Liu Jingren over.

Liu Jingren looked at the map and said after most of the day: "The eight states are now strictly checked. I don't know the specific situation, but you can see the boss."

As he said that, he pointed to the two places of Shanzhou and Hezhou on the map.

"Although Wang Hua won a great victory in this battle, he had to divide his troops, and then all other places would have to send troops to garrison. In addition, our troops were close to Lanzhou, so the Blood Camp is obviously insufficient now. Otherwise, they would not have adopted such shameless tactics."

The shameless tactic he refers to is guerrilla warfare.

Wherever Zong Chuke's army went, there were no soldiers in the Blood Camp who dared to cut their sharpness. But this was not two hundred people, but an army of 200,000 people. How much food should be eaten every day, so logistics supply is very important. Zong Chuke also paid attention to it. The Lanzhou army on the front blocked his army, but Huizhou was able to draw some soldiers, so he sent 30,000 soldiers to escort the food and grass.

But the journey has not been so smooth.

There are no regular soldiers who plunder food and grass, but this trip is very troublesome. For example, the bridge of the small river was touched by the soldiers of the Blood Camp and exploded with explosives. Or a ditche was dug from the riverside to allow the water of the river to spread to the avenue, which could send people to block the gap. However, the Blood Camp did not allow the logistics army to succeed easily. Not only did the river water spread to the road, but also ran back and forth, melting the mud on the road and stomping into melting slurry. In this way, even if the gap was blocked, the water flowed away, the road was

The road is also muddy, and it is difficult for cars and horses to walk. Or when encountering a canyon, they lie on the top of the mountain to ignite the explosive bag and throw it down. There are not much casualties, but it makes people panic. People are sent to chase, but fewer people are chasing and never come back in the past. There are more people chasing, and nothing is seen. Instead, they see the wheat ears in the distant fields with layers of light yellow, and the wheat rays are also happily covered with a layer of golden coat. A few people are still working hard at risk.

After all, it was the army of the court, and they were not going to burn it all like the Tubo people. Therefore, the Zong Chuke army came, and the farmers did whatever they should do and were still farming.

He pulled them over to ask, and answered honestly that the children of that family were drawn into the blood camp, and Wang Hua gave them any benefits. If he asked for useful things, he would be confused.

Zong Chuke had no choice but to release them.

Or when camping at night, a group of people came over to ride horses, whizzing, whizzing, shooting rockets at the place where the food was piled in the camp. A few times they shot and burned some food. Then they sent troops to chase them, and fled one by one to the forest or other complex terrain. In the middle of the night, the terrain was not familiar, and no one dared to chase them.

The harm is not very large, but it can increase the cost of transportation and seriously slow down the speed of the march.

So Qin Bin said that he was harassed on the road, and Zong Chuke "understands".

Zong Chuke nodded, and then asked, "General Liu, then what's the relationship between this?"

"Yes, it's still logistics. If the soldiers in the Blood Camp have sufficient strength, the harassment of our logistics will be greater, and our losses will be more serious. But this situation is temporary. The soldiers in the Blood Camp have one wing deep into Dafeichuan and have no time to return for a while. Even if they return, they need to rest. The other wing is afraid to send troops to Lanzhou because of the restraint of Sinuoluo. However, once the soldiers in the Shanzhou direction recover their physical strength and must go north, Lanzhou's troops will become relatively abundant at that time. Therefore, we must immediately transport the food and grass to the camp quickly, and at the same time, we will quickly divide the troops to support Sanlipo."

There is no problem with the soldiers supporting Sanlipo. The key is still food. Otherwise, tens of thousands of troops would have water to drink, but they would have to eat. Now the first batch of food has not arrived in the camp, so where can they be converted into food?

"Will we send another 10,000 troops to escort the food. What do you think?"

"Mr. Zong, this method is OK. Anyway, we are now working on it in detail and doing it."

After two days of siege, Lanzhou was not a county town in Shanxian, but it was tall and dangerous according to the terrain. When Wang Hua took Lanzhou, he was unexpectedly not allowed to defend the entire Lanzhou. Otherwise, Wang Hua would not know how long it would take, let alone how much damage would be.

After two days, there was nothing except losing hundreds of soldiers. Zong Chu was so polite that he cursed in front of the formation. In fact, when he returned to the tent, he pretended that nothing had happened.

The two of them agreed and sent 10,000 troops to escort the food again.

Here Zong Chuke launched the first shot to attack Bazhou, but it was just a thunder and a low rain.

However, the battle officially started in the northwest direction.

There are very few people who can mobilize Yanzhou, because Mochu came in person, and Kong Heizi didn't dare to move 10,000 people. This is Mochu who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. If he was as reckless as Ke Zanre Zong Chuke, Kong Heizi would have a lot of effort.

Xue Song did not dare to move when he was guarding Huizhou. Guo Yuanzhen was not jealous, nor did he bump into the water. Even after receiving Guo Yuanzhen's letter, Wang Hua was still worried and just drew five thousand troops. But these soldiers were also drawn to the upcoming Lanzhou Battle.

Either it was Wukeli's army, but Lingzhou was Wang Hua's base camp and people had to be sent to defend. So after sucking, there were only Wukeli's five thousand soldiers and Zhang Shougui's Yuheng army. These 5,000 people were regular troops of the Blood Camp, but the other side had 80,000 troops, and most of them were Shuofang army passing by the battlefield.

Therefore, this battle is still very difficult.

There is also an ambush. From Hezhou to Yanzhou, not like Shan County, Ke Zanre is sure to follow the Tang and Tibet Ancient Road. If you are not sure, you cannot use the terrain arrangements for several months in advance, so you have to adapt to the situation.

Because Yinzhou was given to Mochuo, Chang Yuankai's troops were divided into two groups. He led his brave general Lu Gongren and personally led 90,000 troops along the south side of Jiuhu Prefecture, passing through the edge of the small desert of Nanhetao, and rushed towards Wuyuan (Wuyuan in Dingbian, Yanzhou station). On the other side, Cao Cen, another general under his command, crossed the Yellow River with 20,000 troops, and went straight to Xingning County along the edge of Nanhetao.

This is also a reasonable arrangement. Many areas in Wuyuan County are Gobi Deserts and are sparsely populated. It is not worth dispatching a large army. Relatively speaking, Wuyuan County has many small basin plains, and the county town is taller than Xingning County.

After hearing this news, Wang Hua and Zhu Tong discussed it and made an arrangement to use 5,000 people to use the terrain in Wuyuan County to set up fortifications, and block Chang Yuankai's 90,000 troops. In this way, 10,000 superior troops were drawn to deal with Cao Cen's 20,000 troops. In fact, it was still a disadvantageous force, but it was already an advantage for the blood camp's troops.

Moreover, after seeking Zhang Shougui's approval, Wang Hua issued an order for the first time and handed over the five thousand people to Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing lived up to his expectations and came to the outside of Yanzhou City. He inspected the terrain. Many dangerous terrain were not selected, but Mukeling, which was extremely flat and vast. Moreover, after passing Mukeling, it was not far from Yanzhou City. Some people opposed Feng Changqing's approach. At this time, Wang Hua had left Lingzhou. It was Zhu Tong who received Feng Changqing's report. Seeing Feng Chang's report, Zhu Tong issued an order: Anyone who does not obey Feng Changqing's command will be killed.

After getting this right, no soldiers in the Blood Camp dared to say anything. However, in order to appease the soldiers' hearts, Zhu Tong also brought a sentence: "You turtles know how to be a fool, and be obedient and make contributions."

Zhu Tong is a literati, and no one has ever heard him say swear words, but after hearing this swear words, they all laughed out loud. Maybe this is a magical idea, and I don’t understand it.

Then Feng Changqing organized soldiers to build defensive fortifications with peace of mind, and encouraged the people to participate. He did not dare to let the people participate in the construction of fortifications, and it may leak news. But the people can transport building materials, such as bricks and cement, for blood.

This time, cement was not purchased. Because the buildings in Bazhou also had various fortifications, city walls and houses, Wang Hua transferred a group of technicians from Luzon Island to boil cement in the south of Lingzhou, but it was only used for civil or military purposes, not commercial purposes. This was to maintain the agreement established with the 18 families.

But this time we can see the people's strength mentioned by Wang Hua. When hearing the call of the Blood Camp, many people actively participated, otherwise the speed of construction would be far from being able to keep up.

After the fortifications were repaired, many smart soldiers reacted and gave Feng Changqing a thumbs up.

But this is just the first fortification, and the second fortification is in front of the city wall of Yanzhou.

Defending enemies thousands of miles away, the Blood Camp does not have this ability now, but it can still be done if it is defending enemies thousands of miles away.

Before the second fortification was repaired, Chang Yuankai led a large army to Mukeling. He did not see the fence or Guancheng, but only saw about a hundred strange buildings. Each building shone with a cold blue-gray luster, with some small windows on it.

Chang Yuankai had fought for many years and had never encountered such a scene. In the battle of Shan County, he only knew that Wang Hua used fire to attack Shan County, resulting in the great defeat of the Tubo people. Not many people knew the specific situation, including Chang Yuankai.

So he ordered three thousand people to rush forward and test it.

Three thousand soldiers rushed up carefully, without any movement. But this was strange. Some came to the fort to look, and the holes below were blocked with thick iron plates, and they could not even poke them with weapons. Some soldiers continued to grop forward, and some were curious. They lie on the holes above and look inside. It was dark inside. After a while, they could barely see it clearly. It seemed that it was divided into two attics and a floor above. But no one could see it.

Then I looked for the door. Unlike the bunkers in Shan County, Feng Changqing, the bunker here, added his own thinking elements. Anyway, there are many tunnels below, using the tunnels to communicate, but the iron gates left behind a few inconspicuous bunkers, entering and leaving or replenishing supplies.

The three thousand soldiers were a little dumbfounded, and someone went back to report to Chang Yuankai.

Chang Yuankai thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what the mystery of Wang Hua was doing. So he sent another three thousand soldiers to rush forward, but told them to be careful. The main reason is that there is no door, it is really confusing.

They touched them one by one, and saw that there were a few soldiers in front of them who were impatient and had passed through the bunker group, but there was no movement. Chang Yuankai suppressed the gesture and dispatched five thousand vanguard troops again to continue to follow. After crossing this Mukeling, Yanzhou City was ahead.

And he also has one task, which is to protect the horse farm outside Lingzhou City. Therefore, he dare not delay it.

The five thousand soldiers also touched the bunker group. Hundreds of soldiers in front of them passed the bunker group, but there was still no movement. Although Chang Yuankai felt strange and saw that everyone was safe, he ordered the army to prepare to start the pirate.

But at this moment, a soldier finally saw the iron gate and immediately notified his comrades. They all felt puzzled by the bunker, and some soldiers raised their weapons to smash them. But the weapons could not be smashed, so they sent people to come back to find the big iron hammer.

But at this time, a horn sound came from the bunker. As the sound stopped, the iron plate under the bunker was pulled open, and even soldiers walked up on the second floor. Bows and arrows shot out like rain stars.

With so many bunkers combined together, almost no place is the dead corner of bows and arrows.

Seeing this situation, Chang Yuankai immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

But under this indiscriminate shooting, how many soldiers could escape? Nine thousand people went up, and less than four thousand people came back.

The casualties were so unfair that they could not even see the shadow of an enemy, so many people were broken. Chang Yuankai was so angry that he shook his hands. But before he came up with a solution, he had to order camping.

But at this time, the figure saw a thousand people from behind and packed up the spoils in the bunkers. There were still hundreds of people heading west, because two or three hundred people left the west side of the bunkers. Before the bows and arrows could be shot, they were asked to escape in time. The two or three hundred people were arrested.

Seeing the enemy being so arrogant, Chang Yuankai was so angry that he didn't fight. Fortunately, he resisted the impulse and did not increase the casualties.

The generals were summoned to discuss, but there was no door, so it was obvious that there were tunnels below, and the area was full of yellow loam, and the mud was not too soft or very hard. It was not difficult to dig the tunnel. But I knew that the tunnels were dug, and the soldiers in the bunkers could be suffocated to death. But how could they dig the tunnels? They couldn't even get close, let alone dig the tunnels.

But there are many people and many ideas, so there is still a way. Finally, I discussed it and used a shield to cover it. The soldier smashed it with a big hammer.

Thousands of soldiers rushed up again, this time there were dense shields in front of them, and casualties began to decrease. When they came to the fort, the rain of arrows in the fort stopped and changed their patterns. Because they were covering the soldiers who smashed the hammer, the shield soldiers were very close to the fort. So a strange weapon stretched out from the hole, which looked like a hook and sickle spear, but not a gun, and a curved hook knife at the front end.

The body organs exposed by the shield soldier were hooked, and each hook was a blood flower. The other shield soldiers were startled and immediately placed the shield on the ground, hiding their whole body behind the shield.

But at this time, the hook and sickle shrank back, and small bamboo tubes came out and blew them out, and the chili powder and lime powder were blown out together.

I don't want any shields anymore, I cover my eyes and run away with my legs.

It was easy to deal with it without a shield, and the bow and arrow stretched out again. Thousands of people went up, and nearly a thousand bodies were left behind, and they escaped.

I knew that the Blood Camp was not that easy to chew, otherwise it would be impossible for so many troops to be dispatched around me to deal with the Blood Camp. However, such casualties were far beyond what Chang Yuankai could tolerate.

When we discussed again, there were also shortcomings. In order to maximize the power of the bunker, the other party chose this flat and vast terrain. Therefore, it was not dangerous in terms of terrain. So we cut down the nearby big trees, which were used to hit the wood. Then we used the small cart to transport the wood to transport the wood to transport the wood to hit the bunker. In this way, the length of the enemy's hook and sickle could not keep up, and the lime powder would not have any effect due to the distance. Just use the shield soldiers to protect the soldiers pushing the cart.

But in this way, I had to camp and rest today.

The soldiers were cooking or cutting wood.

The soldiers in the blood camp inside the bunker saw them cutting wood, but because of their weakness in their troops, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack and stop them.

As night fell, thick wood piled up in the camp.

But at the third o'clock, the Blood Camp touched it out of the bunker. The soldiers patrolling under Chang Yuankai also saw it and blew towards the horn of alert. However, the group of people came to the front of the camp, shot a rocket into the camp, and fled back.

I want to chase but I dare not chase, but I also have to put out the fire.

Chang Yuankai was so angry that he had to order the soldiers to take turns to be on duty, just like Ke Zanre. He spent the night safely.

The next morning, after breakfast, Chang Yuankai got angry and ordered a thousand soldiers to push more than a hundred small cars and rushed up the slope. He stood behind and thought to himself: "What should you do when you see this time?"

I think the other party has no idea about this method.

But just as the bumping wood was less than ten meters away from the bunker, a roar came out, and the ground was like a magma burst, and balls of mud soared into the sky. The black gunpowder of stones was not effective, but the mud was still effective. Even the soldiers were washed into the sky, rolled in the sky a few times, and fell to the ground and could no longer move.

The explosion stopped, and there were not many soldiers who could come back.

And when the smoke and dust dissipated, Chang Yuankai almost vomited blood. The entire ground was large and small pits, some of which were seven or eight feet deep. This time, the car could not push it even if it wanted to push it.

He looked at the bunkers and seemed to see the gate of hell standing in front of him.
