Early the next morning, the desolate sound of horns sounded in the camp of Shiwei's army.
It is far away, and can be vaguely heard twenty miles away.
Standing at the highest point of the avant-garde city, Liao Shicong, the governor of the Northeast, and Zhang Tie, the general of the Cavalry Guard, looked into the distance.
Although they didn¡¯t see anything because they were too far away, the heavy pressure was like Mount Tai pressing on their hearts.
Zhang Tie came here the night before yesterday.
He led two thousand of his own cavalry guards over, and then took over the 10,000 horses of the Six Guards of the Forbidden Army in the city, as well as the remaining 40,000 defenders in the city.
It can be said that Zhang Tie arrived at the right time. When he arrived, Shi Wei's army had already completed crossing the river.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that it was getting late and it was inconvenient for so many people to move, Shi Weijun¡¯s camp last night should have advanced another thirty miles to the front guard city, less than ten miles away.
Last night, Zhang Tie didn't even have time to rest. After asking about Liao Shicong's location, he went directly to Qianweicheng.
The city defense of Jinzhou is quite different from that of Datong.
Datong is a typical large and small fortress structure. In addition to the main city, Jinzhou City is home to the three big cities.
It is divided into the front acropolis, the left acropolis and the right acropolis.
The avant-garde city is built on a hillside, with cliffs on both sides. It guards the main traffic road and is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And it is divided into three layers, each layer is more than one foot higher than the previous layer, so they can attack in three layers.
The same is true for the left and right acropolis, but the terrain is not as steep as the front acropolis.
Several times in the past, Shiwei sent 100,000 people to attack, but the result was heavy casualties in the front guard city. Finally, after calculating the proportion of casualties, he had to retreat angrily.
Also because the avant-garde city is very important, the sergeants stationed here are all elite, and there has always been a large amount of various ordnance supplies here. With the number of troops of 10,000, they fought to the death and consumed 35% of Shi Wei's army. Ten thousand people have no problem at all.
After the avant-garde city was defeated, the remaining left and right acropolis and Jinzhou City lay on the land in the form of an equilateral triangle.
If you want to avoid being attacked and harassed by these two acropolis when attacking Jinzhou City, you must attack these three cities at the same time.
But if you allocate your troops within a radius of one to twenty miles, it will be too scattered and difficult to handle at all.
??????? It feels a bit like looking at one thing at the expense of the other.
Of course, the Shiwei people have another way.
That is to go to the sea from the port on the Liaohe River, transfer from Bohai Bay to Jinzhou Port, directly cross Jinzhou City, and fight towards the hinterland of Liaoning - Ningyuan.
As long as Ningyuan is cut off, the isolated Jinzhou City will be easier to fight.
But the problem is that Shiwei does not have so many naval forces at all. Their ships usually sail on inland rivers and cannot reach overseas at all.
There are no ships that want to carry more than 20,000 or 30,000 people.
"Besides, even if they come out, they will encounter the Dakang Navy who is strictly guarding them. It is easy for them to meet the King of Hell directly at sea.
The people of Shiwei would rather die in battle on land than be unable to see the enemy for some reason, causing them to sink one by one.
Therefore, they could only attack from the land.
"Beside the Linghe River, there were at least the flags of three elite armies of Shiwei and Wei, and there were also the flags of the six major tribes such as Qiyan, Bohai, Xi, etc. The flags were like rain, and the soldiers were like a sea!" Liao Shicong smiled. He said to Zhang Tie: "Yongli, this time you have to suffer with me! It's not certain whether you can go back or not!"
Zhang Tie said calmly: "The imperial court and your majesty sent me here to share life and death with you, Duke Huaixin! No matter how fierce the Shiwei people are, they can't capture Jinzhou City until I, Zhang Tie, die in battle!"
"good!"
Liao Shicong nodded, "What I need is someone like you! Let's go back and discuss how to defend! Just defending blindly does not comply with our rules!"
Zhang Tie looked at the group of sergeants standing below and said hesitantly: "Sir, why don't we stay in the avant-garde city for two days to see their offensive and determination?"
"No need, how have they ever dispatched such a large army in recent years?" Liao Shicong said: "With so many people, if they don't fight a good war, how can they be worthy of the money and food they spend? How can they be worthy of starting a war in Datong? A beggar?"
"All right!"
Liao Shicong is the number one person in the entire Northeast defense line. Li Nanyuan must be controlled by him, and Zhang Tiedang must be controlled by him.On the right side of the road, if you attack from the Linghe side, its front will face the opponent and its right side will face the road.
A straight passage connects Jinzhou City and the bank of Linghe River.
On the other side of the road is a valley with a river spreading out, which is not suitable for passage at all.
The front city is still about ten feet away from the road.
Under normal circumstances, passing caravans do not need to contact them.
That is to say, at the checkpoint temporarily set up when they come down, they can pass without any hindrance by paying a little normal tax.
But that was when we were doing business on weekdays.
The question is, once a war breaks out, would you try to pass by here?
As long as you don¡¯t fight it, it can destroy your march anytime and anywhere.
When you smashed the big stones from the mountain, it was a pit, and a pit had to lie at least a dozen people at least a dozen people.
¡°If it could still roll a few times on the road, not to mention the number of casualties.
Then they can use rockets to burn passing convoys. Once the food and grass are burned, it will be troublesome.
Even horses will
Fortunately, as long as you break through this avant-garde city and cross here, the front will suddenly open up, and you can reach Jinzhou City twenty miles away without any obstruction.
The area over Jinzhou City is much wider and is very suitable for large-scale operations. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
