Chapter 787 Hell!
Black Stone Fort, a castle made of huge black stones, firmly jammed the most dangerous Feigu Gorge among the eight passes of Taihang Mountain. It is also known as the Forty-Mile Black Wind Cave, and it is also the highest and most dangerous pass among the eight passes of Taihang Mountain.
This is the junction of the three major mountains of Taihang Mountain, Hengshan Mountain and Yanshan Mountain.
Here, one man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open, and there is a thread of sky above your head!
After the Qin army changed Youzhou to Yanjing and became the center of it, there were two passes to the west of Yanjing City that were very important to the Qin army. Jundu Pass was behind, and Zijing Pass was placed in front. When you go to Duzhou, you must pass Jiming Mountain, and when you go to Zijing Pass, you must pass Heishi Ridge.
Feihu Pass in the sixth pass of Taihang and Boyin Pass in the seventh pass are actually connected, one in Hedong and the other in Hebei, and are connected to each other. Being guarded by Heshiling is equivalent to defending Feihu Pass. Similarly, taking down Heshiling is equivalent to opening up the road to Zijing Pass. Both of them prosper and lose both.
The military book says: Flying foxes, stalking and swaying, and advancing to You and Yan, is the most beautiful place.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly outside. It was marching in Feihu Gorge, but there was almost no sunshine.
Li Wei rode on his horse, looking at the famous canyon from time to time, and saw two cliffs standing with a slight connection. He heard that the Wanting had more than a hundred miles of flowers.
Walking in the middle, it suddenly made people feel bleak and terrifying. Most areas cannot see the sun. The cliffs on both sides are like swords and axes. They are so powerful that they are extremely steep and magnificent.
Even if you have seen too many steep Li Wei in various places, you can't help but feel thrilling. Walking through it, the canyon is sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes rugged and steep walls stand on the road, making you feel like you have no way out; sometimes you turn around and turn the sun shines down from the high cliffs. The sky is like a winding ribbon, with flowers on it appearing very small, and the sun shining outside, but the wind is whistling here, and there are three or two beasts that sound, making the timid!
Black Stone Ridge is in the middle of this canyon, seventy miles away from Guangbian City and seventy miles away from Feihu City.
This mountain is more than 2,000 meters above sea level. It does not grow trees, and the snow on the shade does not melt all year round. On this mountain, fortresses have been built since the Han Dynasty, and have been guarded by heavy troops throughout the ages. At present, the Shatuo people control this Black Stone Castle, with three thousand soldiers stationed. The castle is close to the deep ravine, and a suspension bridge is built at the entrance of the stream. Even if you have the ability to fly, it is difficult to get close to the castle. It is indeed a dangerous situation where a man is at the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.
On the top of the mountain far away in Black Stone Fort, Li Wei put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and frowned.
Things are more troublesome than expected!
Not only were there three thousand soldiers stationed in Black Stone Fort stationed. These defenders were also very careful and pulled up the suspension bridge in broad daylight. What's more, the castle only had three gates, east, west and south, but there was no north gate. This made Li Wei and others who came from the north very passive. If they wanted to attack Black Stone Fort, they had to walk around the north of the tall and sturdy castle to the west gate. This distance, especially the narrow terrain at the close of the gate and the deep ravine, would cause them to encounter extremely fierce attacks. Perhaps they would have to pay a terrible price before they could approach the west gate. Moreover, even if they rushed to the west gate, the suspension bridge was always pulled up, and the deep ravine was insurmountable.
Time is tight and the task is arduous!
The King of Qin only gave him two days to capture Black Stone Fort, Zijing Pass, and a Feihu County Town.
But now, Blackstone City, the first target in front of them, left him at a loss.
There were only two days, and time was not waiting for anyone, so Wang Jingchong led reinforcements to come.
"Military Master, let's go up the front wing!" The front wing master took the initiative to ask for the fight.
"What are your plans?" Li Wei asked.
"Using the conscience-free cannon to bombard the North City, and then let the engineers dig tunnels under the North City to explode the North City wall. Bird-like, aren't they not opening the door in the North City, opening the door on the other side, but they are guarding the heavy troops across the stream? Then let's take the chance and attack the North City."
Li Wei's eyes lit up, but he shook his head again, "The north wall of Black Stone Fort is as high as six meters high, and it is almost all made of huge stones. It is completely a mountain wall. Besides, there are completely rocky land under the north wall. Even if artillery fire covers it close to the city wall, it is too difficult and almost impossible to dig the foundation of the wall in such a terrain. There are three thousand soldiers on the city, so they will not watch them poach the corners.
"Or why we're going up on the left side!"
The left wing has the strongest potential attack battalion in the entire army, and it is the best to sneak in and fight. However, the stone castle I am facing now has nowhere to start, and it is difficult to break through the deep ravine alone.
Li Wei only has one day to win the Black Stone Fort, so it means that he only has one chance to get out his mobile phone. Once he fails, the defenders will inevitably be more vigilant. If he wants to break the city in a short time, there will be no hope.
One chance, and one hit!
"There is only one chance, and our attack must be foolproof!" Li Wei said in a low voice. This was the first time that the Yingyang Army had officially fought alone after the establishment of the Yingyang Army, and was responsible for such an important task. It was related to the success or failure of the entire Hedong Battle. Li Wei did not dare to be careless. Although this task was too difficult, since he took over the task, no matter what, he had to complete it.
Black Stone Fort was like a hedgehog with sharp thorns on its body, leaving Eagle Yangjun nowhere to go.
"Anyway, we must take down Black Stone Fort tonight at the latest!" Li Wei issued a death order. If they could not take down Black Stone Fort, their mission would be completely failed. This is absolutely not allowed. This is the first battle of the Yingyang Army, and it is also the first battle of the Yingyang Army when Li Wei served as the leader of the Yingyang Army.
He pointed to the military flag in the tent. On the red flag, a golden eagle spread its wings and was about to fly!
The Qin army's flag was a black flying eagle, and the flag of their Eagle-Ring Army was specially awarded by the King of Qin. It was a golden flying eagle. What a great honor.
Li Wei swept over the five wing masters under his command, as well as his deputy wing masters, marching commanders, Sima, Du Yuhou and other generals. These officers have one characteristic, they are all very young. The Qin army has not had a long history and has continued to expand its army in recent years. Therefore, not only are the wing masters at the level of wing barracks very young, but even the military-level generals, there are many officers under the thirty. Many of them even worked in the military for less than five years. Although most of them have studied in the martial arts hall, at this time, their lack of experience is inevitably reflected. There is no good idea for the moment.
Li Wei had nothing strange on his face, but he didn't feel a little disappointed. In the past, he always fought with the King of Qin, and the King of Qin always had many tricks. There were also counselors such as Gai Yu Jingxiang and Li Zhen around him. They were just responsible for fighting and didn't think about how to fight at all. But now, he led the army alone to fight alone, facing the troubled enemy. But he had to make his own decisions, how to win this battle?
He looked at the people in the back row. They were the staff officers of the Yingyang Army's staff, almost all young people from the martial arts hall. Their eldest marching staff officer Chen Zhong was only thirty years old, the first to follow the Qin King with him. He had always performed outstandingly in the Shamen Town era. Later, he was elected as the personal soldier of the King of Qin. He was later selected as the personal soldier of the King of Qin. After one year of further study, he was transferred to the lower level as the deputy team. He was promoted quickly over the years and had the background of the Qin King's personal guard. He studied in the martial arts hall, and his extraordinary performance in the later leadership of the army, which made him receive several commendations from the King of Qin several times in just a few years. This time, he formed the Yingyang Army and was awarded a senior executive of the Yingyang Army. He served as the marching staff officer and became a deputy army-level officer.
"Staff Officer Chen. What do you think?"
The marching staff is not high in the ranking of deputy positions of the Yingyang Army, and is lower than the tutor, deputy commander, marching Sima, and Du Yuhou. However, this position is very important because he is also in charge of many staff members in the entire staff office, as the consultant of the chief general, and is responsible for many combat planning affairs.
It is the responsibility of the marching staff to formulate a combat plan.
Chen Zhong once served as Li Jing's personal guard and had the qualifications to study in the martial arts hall. Therefore, even if he ranks low, the generals were very polite to him.
Hearing Li Wei call him, Chen Zhong raised his head and said, "Military Master, I think this battle can be done with a strange plan!"
"Did General Chen have a plan?" Li Wei was delighted when he heard this.
"There is indeed an immature plan, but the most important thing is to rely on the efforts of the brothers in the back." Chen Zhong said.
"Backhouse?"
All the generals couldn't help but wonder. The Yingyang Army's back wing had two battalions. However, one of these two battalions was in charge of logistics and supplies, and was responsible for engineering, hospital and transportation tasks. The other battalion was a brand new soldier who was still under test. Until now, it was still in the exploration stage.
It is impossible for Chen Zhong to hand over such an important task to the logistics camp. So what does he mean is that camp?
"Dark Roc Bird Squadron or Black Bat Squadron?" Li Wei asked.
The right camp in the back wing is nominally full of 500 people, but in fact, this camp has 600 people, with two squadrons under its jurisdiction, each with 300 people.
Just from the names of the two squadrons, you can tell that this unit that is still under test is actually an air force.
But this is still an army in the experiment, can we really rely on them?
As night fell, on the wall of Black Stone Castle, Shatuo guard Shi Yan was wearing armor and patrolling the city head with a sharp sword in his hand.
Shi Yan, a native of Yanmen, Daizhou, was proficient in cavalry and shooting, was extremely brave, and was particularly good at setting up ambushing and conquering enemies, capturing opponents alive, and led by the soldiers whenever they were fighting. Li Keyong hurriedly returned to Weizhou and sent Shi Yan to guard the Heishi Fortress in order to prevent Li Jing, who occupied Guangling and Guangbian cities from sending troops through Feihu Xing to Lingqiu behind Zhigu Pass or Yixian County in Yizhou!
Shi Yan patrolled the city, patting the soldiers on duty from time to time, and making a few words with them. Shi Yan was only in his early thirties, was extremely brave and had an amazing memory. He could call out the names of most of the soldiers under his command.
The on-duty soldier who was being called affectionately by him was moved in his heart. Unexpectedly, a newly recruited soldier, could be remembered by the commander general.
Shi Yan smiled and comforted the inexplicable soldier, and was about to turn around to continue patrolling, when he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing and a chill suddenly came.
He couldn't help but fight an ice battle, his body became alert, and he quickly looked around!
At this time, a scream of fear and anxiety suddenly sounded from the city not far away!
"Oh my God!"
"What is that!"
"God of immortality blesses!"
"Damn!"
