Chapter 579: Cutting off Tiandu

Weizhou City, Shaanxi Economic Envoy Department.

Old acquaintances met again.

Zhongjie said with tears in his eyes: "Mingrun, thank you very much for redressing my brother's grievances."

Su You waved his hand: "Silang is loyal and grateful to the sun and the moon. His Majesty also wept for him. However, what Su You did is actually in accordance with the national law and not for personal reasons."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhong Xie: "Da Lang, please show me your condolences. The war is about to be fierce. We must brace ourselves to cope with it with all our strength."

The two came to the hall, where everyone had gathered in front of the huge sand table and were discussing.

Su You walked to and stood in front of the main seat of Baihu Hall. Wang Zhongzheng shouted: "Generals, listen to the order."

Everyone quickly bowed to accept the order.

Su You said: "Now there is a war going on in Huanqing. With Qingzhou as the center, the Xia army takes turns attacking the peripheral Dashun City, Rouyuan Village, Liyuan Fort, and Donggu and Xugu Village."

"The larger number of soldiers numbered 200,000, and the smaller number did not exceed 10,000 or 20,000. They were stationed in Yulin, forty miles away from Gyeongju, and rode to the city every day."

"Yang Sui, the general of Dashun, resolutely resisted the Xia soldiers' attack at Dayiguo, causing their attacks to be repeatedly blocked."

"Lin Guang, the guard of Rouyuan Village, has strong walls and clear fields. He is strictly guarded and cannot come out."

"After receiving the latest battle report three days ago, the Xixia army has moved to attack Huai'an Town and Yele Town. Our army has Guo Qing, Gao Min, Qin Bo and others who died heroically for their country."

"Although Huanqing is critical, the situation is already clear. Now it has been confirmed that the enemy army in Huanqing is the main force of the Xia people! In front of Weizhou, the enemy relies on Tiandu Mountain and the dangerous position of Shimen Gorge to divide their troops and garrison them in an attempt to block our army. Died in Shannan."

"Order!"

The generals were immediately in awe.

"The Zhenrong army knew the military divisions and marched eastward to Huanzhou with great fanfare. They carried Deshun, hoarding security, controlling cranes, and the flags of the four armies in Luzhou to prepare for the rescue of a large army. However, the march must be cautious and occupy many dangerous places. Do not advance rashly. Do not Expose the truth.”

Zhongjie raised his hands: "Yes!"

"Wang Wenyu, the commander of the Deshun Army, took three troops of the Fan Army and surrounded Tiandu Mountain with barbed wire and mine formations to prevent the Xia Army from attacking our army's passage from the flanks."

Wang Wenyu is no longer the poor and troubled person he once was, and now he has a lot of majesty. He cupped his hands and said: "Yes!"

Su You said again: "Gather the army Su Lie, the army is out of Ningxia City, and order Su Chi's fire department to carry forward the tradition of night fighting and seize Shimen Village at night. This battle requires a quick victory. Tomorrow at midnight, I will move the commander's tent to the north entrance of Shimen Village. , can it be done?”

Su Chihuo punched his right chest with a hammer: "I will definitely live up to my destiny!"

Su You nodded: "After taking Shimenzhai, our army will march along the Hulu River to encircle Xiaoguan. The east route will be led by Su Lie and Cai Ting, with Li Ruoyu as the supervisor and Yao Si as the forward;"

"The west route is led by Gao Yongneng and Liu Changzuo, with Wang Zhongzheng as the supervisor and Fan Longshan as the forward."

"The purpose of the battle is very simple. It is to raze Xiaoguan to the ground and open the passage for the fifty-four Qingqi, so that they can go out and have fun!"

Wang Zhongzheng was extremely excited: "Jing Lue, can Ruoyu and I go out with the army? Well, the main purpose is to monitor the Tibetan tribe and not to kill too much."

I believe you are the only one who has seen ghosts. The dead eunuch just wants to steal money!

But that didn't stop Su You from waving: "That's right!"

…

When we were camping in Tiandu Mountain, Shaluosi was observing the road at the foot of the mountain from a high position.

He has 30,000 troops in his hands, but he has to face the threat of the two major military forces of Weizhou and Zhenrong Army. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous at all.

Fortunately, in all these years, no Song dog has dared to come over and stroke the tiger's beard.

Even Ningxia City dare not leave, let alone Tiandu Mountain?

Hahaha, in addition to food, wine, exquisite utensils, and beautiful women, Song Gou...

Well, what else? We have to rely on the Tibetan guys to fight the war.

With 200,000 coins every year, he could buy a man who would not leave the mountain. Tiandu Mountain was close to Weizhou, and he did business in private. Shaluosi lived a very happy life.

But now that the Queen Mother has sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight fiercely in Huanqing, Shalosi must be on alert.

After listening to the message sent by Shubo, the Song dogs were almost unable to bear it.

There was still no movement at the foot of the mountain, as usual. Today's ripe potatoes did not come up the mountain, but were all grazing at the foot of the mountain. Everything was as beautiful as usual.

Sharosi called his men: "Go to the herdsmen at the foot of the mountain to buy a few sheep. Remember to give money. Also, ask them to clear the passage. You really have to go too far!"

The subordinate said: "It is a blessing for them to eat a few of their sheep. You can keep the money for your own use."

Shaluosi gave his men a kick: "Love the people like your own children! Don't you know that you love the people like your own children?! When there are more herdsmen, even people and sheep sent to me to the north will be all credit, do you understand?!"

In the past, cattle and sheep would occasionally block the entrance passages to the south of Tiandu Mountain. Usually when this happened, it was when the defenders of Tiandu Mountain were performing tooth sacrifices.

We encountered a similar situation again today. When Shalosi's subordinates led a team of 100 people to the foot of the mountain, they found that the cattle and sheep today were different from those in the past.

camouflage!

Just as the commander was about to blow the warning horn, countless short feather arrows flew out from behind the camouflaged cattle herd, shooting down dozens of people immediately.

Immediately afterwards, countless red-clad Song troops rushed from the valley entrance, pushing carts. Countless thorns and iron nets fell from behind the carts, sealing the intersection firmly.

After unloading the goods, the cart unloaded the carriages and turned them into pallets to be towed away. Countless Song troops passed by quickly, and each person threw a bag of loess into the carriages!

Sharosi's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted: "Entire the army! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

However, just when the campers were on horseback and reorganizing the army, there was no intention of attacking at the foot of the mountain.

Shaluosi put on his armor, organized his team, and when he came to the camp gate and looked down again, the Song army had already piled carriages into an earth wall at the mouth of the largest valley at the bottom of the mountain! They began to pour some liquid on top.

Similar situations occurred at several exits. What was even more frightening was that behind the earthen wall, countless Song troops on horseback and in chariots were continuously heading north. The troops marched together along both sides of the Hulu River, and they seemed to have no end in sight!

"Fenghuo! Hurry up, Fenghuo!" Shaluosi was frightened: "Song Gou wants to take Shimen!"

The beacon was finally lit. However, the beacon that should have been lit five miles away did not move.

In the army, Su You put down his telescope and said to Wang Wenyu: "I'll leave this to you."

Wang Wenyu felt that he could still fight for it: "Why don't you let Mr. Guo guard here? How about I follow my benefactor? There are only 30,000 summer dogs on the mountain, and there are mines under the wooden ox formation. They can't get through."

Under the wooden ox formation, there is a minefield; outside the minefield, there are iron caltrops below and barbed wire above; outside the barbed wire, there is an earth wall made of large carriages; outside the earth wall, there is...

Wang Wenyu said: "Five thousand regular troops plus nine thousand subordinates, followed by 30,000 volunteers, are more than enough to deal with them. They are very stable and not scary at all!"

Su You sneered: "The Xixia people are not scary, but your family's fate is too scary. Even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to care about your wife's belly. Your little king is gone!"

After walking for a while, he turned back and said: "We agreed not to engage the enemy and to be vigilant day and night. Anyway, it's just one word, shoot! Even if a dog comes, I will shoot it into a porcupine! The minefield in the Wooden Ox Formation will not sound, here you go

record merits!"

Wang Wenyu bowed and said: "I obey the commander's order!"

Shimen Gorge is a naturally dangerous section with narrow roads, making it difficult for large armies to pass quickly.

The time has to go back to the night before.

The cooks controlled by the Xixia people drove their cattle and sheep through Shimen Gorge every day to graze in the pastures at the foot of Tiandu Mountain. After dark, they drove their cattle and sheep back to the tribes around Shimenzhai.

Tiandu's mountains, rivers, and grasses are lush, and it is a first-class pasture. However, the defenders are also ruthless. Twenty percent of the cattle and sheep in the surrounding areas belong to them every year.

Every time a group of cattle and sheep returns, a few herdsmen quietly hide in the bushes.

At night, the sound of "click-click" was heard in several bushes.

This is the metal liaison device Su You prepared for Su Chihuo. It is used for night communication and the effect is very good.

Soon, a group of men in black gathered together, about a hundred or ten people.

In addition to their compact body parts, these people all carried a backpack on their backs.

The elite among the elites of the Dun'an Army, the Dark Falcon, is equipped with a small crossbow with an iron arm, a three-foot dagger, a rope, a flying grab, as well as various explosive bags, blasting barrels, cast-iron shell thunder, and steel wire trip thunder.
