Chapter 985: Li Mu Has a Bold Idea (First Update)
Jia Meng Pass.
Li Mu looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help frowning.
This Jiameng Pass is located in the middle of the Shu Road, like a barrier in front of Li Mu's army.
As long as this place is breached, then there will be no hindrance for the Zhao army to enter Shu.
The people of the Qin State obviously understood the importance of this pass very well, otherwise they would not have allowed Wei Yu to lead the vast majority of the current Qin State's troops to garrison this place.
Although the Qin State has conquered Shu for decades, this pass has not been abandoned, but has been built several times, making it extraordinarily strong.
From Li Mu's point of view, on the right side of this Xiongguan is Niutou Mountain, on which many Qin army flags flutter, and it is clear that the Qin people also have a force stationed there.
At the foot of Niutou Mountain, there is the surging Jialing River, where it and the Bailongjiang River converge, two rivers and one mountain form a natural danger, so that Zhao Jun has no other choice but to face the narrow pass and the tall wall.
Pang Xuan stood beside Li Mu and said with some concern: "Governor, this pass is not so easy to overcome. ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "That's true." ”
Although the Qin State conquered Bashu, this does not mean that the land of Bashu has always been very obedient to the Qin State.
In fact, in these short decades, there were several large-scale rebellions in Bashu alone, and even affected the external expansion of the Qin state for a time.
In order to quickly mobilize troops and resources between Guanzhong and Bashu, the Qin State expanded the Golden Bull Road several times to make the road more accessible.
It was also with the efforts of the Qin people that Li Mu's army was able to arrive at Jiameng Pass so smoothly.
But after arriving at Jiameng Pass, everything is different.
Obviously, the leaders of the Qin State were thinking about the possibility of losing the pass and then retreating to Bashu, so for this possibility, they also made some preparations here in Jiameng Pass.
The originally wide Shu Road was suddenly shortened after crossing the Jialing River, as if the eight lanes had instantly become two lanes.
As a result, if Zhao Jun wanted to attack under the wall, he first had to cross such an amazingly narrow but hundreds of steps long path.
At the end of this trail is the tall wall of Jiameng Pass, and the Qin army only needs to arrange strong bows and crossbows on top of the wall, so that the Zhao army can suffer heavy losses on this unobstructed charging road.
This is not the end, you must know that in addition to the front of the Jiameng Pass, there is also the Niutou Mountain on the right side of the Jiameng Pass is also a big problem.
The banners and tents of the Qin army on Niutou Mountain were obviously not set up for display, and Li Mu was completely sure in his heart that once his troops launched an attack on the front of Jiameng Pass, the Qin troops on Niutou Mountain would definitely attack the Zhao army's attacking troops from the flank.
Li Mu was silent for a moment and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult. ”
Pang Xuan couldn't help but glare, this is simply very, very difficult Okay, you Li Mu actually said that it was just "some difficulty?" ”
Li Mu smiled and said to Pang Xuan: "General Pang Xuan, if it was five years, or even three years ago, breaking through this pass would definitely require our army to pay a lot of casualties. ”
Li Mu said that he paid a lot of casualties, but he did not say that he could not overcome it, which shows that Li Mu is actually very confident in breaking through this Jiameng Pass.
Regarding Li Mu's confidence, Pang Xuan actually really has no opinion, because Pang Xuan also thinks so.
In Pang Xuan's view, since the Qin army back then was able to break through Jiameng Pass, then the current Zhao army can certainly break through Jiameng Pass.
Because the Zhao army is definitely stronger than the Qin army a few decades ago.
However, Pang Xuan also heard some taste from Li Mu's mouth: "Isn't the Metropolitan Governor already thinking of a plan to break the pass?" ”
Li Mu smiled: "Actually, it's just an idea, but I think there should be some certainty." ”
Pang Xuan's eyes thought for a moment, and he suddenly realized something: "Isn't the meaning of the Grand Governor trying to use the Heaven-Shaking Thunder?" ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right." General Pang Xuan still remembers the batch of earth-shaking thunder that was urgently transported from Handan a few days ago? Judging from the attached letters, the power of these earth-shaking thunders is already considerable, and if these earth-shaking thunders are gathered together, even the walls of Xianyang City will be enough to blow up. ”
"Can you blow down the walls of Xianyang City?" Pang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
You must know that for a long time, although the earth-shaking thunder has repeatedly made meritorious contributions in Zhao's foreign wars, it is not powerful enough to collapse a city wall like Xianyang City, which has always been a point that makes the generals of the Zhao army dissatisfied.
But when he thought of this, Pang Xuan felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that Xianyang has been conquered by our army......"
Li Mu laughed and said: "Pang Qing, don't forget, Xianyang has been conquered, but there is still Chengdu, and Yingdu is waiting for our army to occupy it." ”
Pang Xuan also laughed and said, "So the Metropolitan Governor is going to use trebuchets to let these earth-shattering thunderbolts blow up the wall?" ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Exactly." I have observed, although this wall is tall, but due to the limited quality of the stone here, it is actually not comparable to the wall of Xianyang City, at best, it is the standard of Nanzheng City. And you should pay attention to it, because this pass is very narrow, so the length of the wall is also quite limited, so as long as the range of the earth-shaking thunder is concentrated enough, even if the earth-shaking thunder is not buried in the ground, there is still not much suspense about blowing up this wall. ”
Pang Xuan listened to Li Mu's explanation, and the whole person nodded frequently, with a feeling of seeing the sun.
Speaking of which, if there is no earth-shattering thunder, then Zhao Jun can only fill this road with human lives if he wants to break through Jiameng Pass.
But Zhao Jun now has such a weapon as the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, which must be something that the designers of Jia Mengguan have never thought about at all.
Therefore, Pang Xuan very happily agreed with Li Mu's opinion: "The plan of the Metropolitan Governor is very good, I can't wait to see the moment when the earth-shaking thunder crashes down this closed wall!" ”
Li Mu smiled, his eyes fell on the Qin army camp in Niutou Mountain again, and said leisurely: "Actually...... Even if the wall is broken, there must be a hard fight at that time. ”
Pang Xuan snorted, his white beard was windless, and he said confidently: "Don't worry, as long as there is no city wall, the people of the Qin Kingdom will not be the opponent of my Sanjin boy at all!" ”
A few hours later, more than a dozen trebuchets began to stand, and one by one the earth-shaking thunderbolts were put into the projection frame, and one by one they were projected out with the shouts of the wrestlers.
For the first time, a deafening explosion was heard in the middle of the pass.
