Text 541 [Tongguan]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If there is an army that directly kills Shanxi, it can be made into a horizontal version of the game.

    Shanxi is surrounded by mountains in all directions.  Moreover, there are mountains within mountains, which divide the whole province into countless small pieces. Even if one or two pieces are captured, don't rush to be happy, and you must be prepared to continue to break through.

    Taihang Eight Xing, the Datong Army in Henan, can only attack from Zhiguan Xing, Taihang Xing and Baixing.

    Among them, Taihang Xing is the most dangerous. Li Zicheng only needs to garrison a thousand people to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Datong troops.

    Since Shanxi is so difficult to fight, why not go to Shaanxi?

    Liu Zhu's Eighth Division and Jiang Liang's Fifth Division set off from Luoyang, passed the Weihan Ancient Road, and headed straight for Guanzhong.

    Xiashi Pass, Yanling Pass, and Hangu Pass are all in the hands of the Datong Army.

    But there is still Tongguan blocking the front, and the general stationed at Tongguan is Tian Jianxiu.  Li Zicheng only named two generals Quan, one was Tian Jianxiu and the other was Liu Zongmin.

    The status of the two of them, if you insist on a metaphor, is similar to that of Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu.

    Counting tens of thousands of civilians, they came to Tongguan along the Yellow River.

    "Hiss!"

    Looking at the city wall of Tongguan, Jiang Liang gasped: "How do you fight?"

    Liu Zhu smiled and said, "Surely you can't hit hard."

    Liu Zhu has been stationed here for a long time, and he has personally explored the terrain and knows what Tongguan looks like.  It was Jiang Liang's first time here, and he was completely intimidated by this majestic pass.

    Due to the continuous erosion of rainwater and the continuous accumulation of sediment, the location of Tongguan is also constantly changing, which can be divided into Hantongguan, Suitongguan and Tangtongguan.

    But Zhu Yuanzhang is still rich and powerful, Mingtong Pass framed all the main roads, and directly built a city here!

    Therefore, it is not called Mingtong Pass now, and it is generally called Tongguan Mingcheng.

    The city is 16 meters high and has a circumference of 11.2 kilometers. It encloses several mountains in the city, and the two sections of the city wall built against the mountains are even more terrifyingly high than 30 meters.

    Datong soldiers and civilian husbands looked at Guancheng from a distance, and they all stood there dumbfounded.

    "Let's set up camp first," Liu Zhu said.

    Tian Jianxiu stood on the Guanlou, looked at the Datong army retreating to set up camp, and only said one sentence: "Every battalion must not relax!"

    After finishing speaking, Tian Jianxiu crossed the Yellow River in person again to inspect Fenglingdu on the other side of the river.

    Fenglingdu is the place where Yang Guo and Guo Xiang met for the first time. Guo Xiang's apprentice was later called Master Fengling.

    ? Although the Yellow River is turbulent, it ends at Fenglingdu River, and the flow of the river is relatively slow.  Generally speaking, Fenglingdu is where the army crosses the river, but Tian Jianxiu is still afraid that the Datong army will desperately cross the river downstream.

    Tian Jianxiu has never read "Three Kingdoms", but he also knows that the banks of the Yellow River must be guarded.

    After the Datong army set up camp, it was getting dark.

    Liu Zhu and Jiang Liang each inspected the barracks, and then called a meeting with the generals in the army.

    Wang Hui, who had returned from his meritorious service in Luzon, was directly promoted to the deputy commander of the Fifth Division due to the expansion of the army.  He raised a question: "Why did the Ministry of War let us attack Tongguan Xiongcheng? Don't say that we didn't bring heavy artillery, even if we brought heavy artillery, I'm afraid it won't collapse in two or three months."

    Jiang Liang said with a smile: "It's not easy. There are still two friendly armies that sent troops from Taihangxing and Baixing. They are also guarded by one man, and no one is allowed."

    Liu Zhu, who has changed his name to Liu Dingjue, seems to have really become a cultural person.  He smiled and asked: "Everyone knows that Ma Chao and Cao Cao once had a great battle here. At that time, Ma Chao was stationed in Tongguan, just like seeing a beautiful woman in that field, and Cao Cao led his troops to the west, just like us."

    Although Cao Bianjiao can write and count, and has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he has never read "Three Kingdoms".  He sucked his teeth and said, "That's not auspicious. Cao Cao was killed by Ma Chao and cut off his beard and discarded his robe."

    Liu Zhu shook his head and said: "That's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is a novel. It's different in "Three Kingdoms". From the beginning to the end, Ma Chao was played by Cao Cao, and finally he was defeated by Cao Cao!"

    "Hey, do you still read "Three Kingdoms"?" Jiang Liang suddenly joked, and he also changed his name to Jiang Daoxing, but in terms of cultural level, he was no better than Zhang Tieniu.

    Liu Zhu laughed and said, "Where can I read "Three Kingdoms"? Peng Xuanjiao told me. Peng Xuanjiao, come and tell everyone."

    Due to his short time in the army, Peng Shining was only a missionary officer at the brigade level, but he was born as a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and he liked to read all kinds of miscellaneous books.

    Peng Shining took out a pen and paper, drew a simple map near Tongguan, pointed to the map and said:

    "When I learned that our army was going to attack Tongguan, I remembered the Battle of Tongguan during the Three Kingdoms period, and went back to Nanjing to check a lot of historical materials"

    &nbsThe defenders of Lingdu sent another 8,000 men to guard the river.

    Moreover, while the Datong Army was building fortifications, he also dug trenches frantically on the other side of the river.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The artillery of the Datong Army roared and fired at the Dashun Army on the opposite bank.

    The Yellow River channel here is five or six hundred meters wide at its widest point and only three or four hundred meters at its narrowest point, just within the range of artillery.

    Of course, he couldn't kill a few people, it was purely frightening to strengthen his reputation.

    Just as the Datong Army was looking for an opportunity to cross the river, internal problems began to appear on Tian Jianxiu's side.

    Many people said that He Zhen was an officer of the Ming Dynasty, and then joined Li Zicheng.  However, according to the investigation of Manchu officials, it is said that this guy is Li Zicheng's old team, pretending to be a Ming military officer to deceive Manchu trust.

    Historically, He Zhen quickly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and took the initiative to lead troops to attack Li Guo.

    But in this time and space, he did descend to the Qing Dynasty, and because the Dashun Army had a different retreat route, he did not attack any of Li Zicheng's troops.

    ? When the Manchu Qing withdrew from Shanshan, Li Zicheng made a comeback, and He Zhen returned to Li Zicheng again.

    Although he was despised as a second-five boy, he was an old buddy after all. Since he surrendered again, he couldn't just kill him directly.  Li Zicheng has been looking for opportunities to settle accounts, but He Zhen is obedient, and he is ordered to do everything Li Zicheng says.

    "I'm afraid Tongguan will not be able to defend this time." He Zhen said.

    Dang Meng'an said: "It is true that once the puppet army crosses the river, there will be a lot of recruits on our side, and it will definitely be unstoppable."

    He Zhen said: "We have all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and have been guarded by His Majesty. Even if His Majesty can win the battle, we have no bright future, how about"

    "It's better to submit to the court of Datong!" Luo Dai said.  </div&gt
