Chapter 61: A Minefield Appears
Time went back to a day ago, Fang Yunjun quickly rushed towards the side of the clearance, at that time Xie Ran had just come to Tongguan and began to devote himself to the battle for the first time.
At that time, Fang Yunjun had already arrived in Yingchuan County, and quickly passed through Nanyang County and killed him towards Tongguan. Along the way, as expected, the other party was still in a state of complete non-resistance, but the spies were rewarded, and the other party's scouts appeared within a hundred miles, but when they appeared, they ran away.
Apparently, their people do operate in this area. In fact, Fang Yun and the others also felt that this rapid march was still a bit reckless in the end, after all, the follow-up baggage troops and other troops had not yet arrived, and they were only escorted by Han Meng, which was really not safe. What if, there is even at least a fifty percent chance that the other party will launch a surprise attack on them directly?
"The follow-up troops let them maintain a certain speed, Dian Wei, you and I will go first, and the others will maintain a certain speed of marching to ensure that they can support both ends at any time." Fang Yun immediately got along with a compromise method.
At the same time, he also left Guo Jia and Zuo Ming behind to ensure that the headquarters was foolproof. After arranging everything, he took 5,000 troops to relieve trouble, accompanied by Dian Wei, and quickly rushed towards Tongguan. Of course, in order to ensure that the follow-up troops can come to support quickly, the speed is maintained in a relatively fast but not too fast range.
To the north of Nanyang is the Qinling Mountains, the mountain road winds continuously, and the end of the mountain road is where Tongguan is. After laying Tongguan, you can directly enter the Sizhou area of Guannei, whether it is directly into Yongzhou, or go north to directly enter the state.
The most important point is that the terrain in this area is very complex, and it is full of mountains and woods, so it can also be seen as the easiest place to arrange an ambush.
By the afternoon, the army had reached the vicinity of the village of Lonan. This is a subordinate village of Luoxian County, and it is also the location of Luonan County in later generations. In the middle of a large mountainous area, this is the only plain area.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the mountains, many of the people here make a living from hunting and have a good martial arts. In addition, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack surrounded by mountains, so it did not suffer any hardships during the period of the White Polish Army. However, the people here also have the same problems as most villages. That's xenophobia!
When Fang Yun and the others approached, they saw that the village was already quiet, and there was no movement at all. However, Fang Yun and Dian Wei were also congenital-level military generals, so they could naturally feel that within five miles of the surroundings, from the houses in the village to the surrounding jungle, there were at least three hundred people with bows and arrows, ready to shoot.
"Villagers, I am Fang Yun, the general of the Han Dynasty. This time, the thieves passed by here, and they didn't intend to hurt you! I just want to ask you, have any other troops passed on this road in recent times? As long as we know the answer, we will set off immediately, and we will not disturb your peace! Fang Yun stepped forward directly, and shouted with his true qi.
"Your Highness General, two days ago, a troop passed in front of our village. It should be in the direction of Tongguan, and please be careful. "There was a middle-aged man in the village who came out of the house. He bowed to Fang Yun, and then answered truthfully.
Over the years, you can't know who the emperor is, but you definitely can't know who Fang Yun is. Even their Luonan village is growing corn and potatoes, and it is precisely because of this high-yield crop that their village has lived a very good life in the past two years. As the saying goes, don't forget to dig wells. For Fang Yun, who popularized these crops, the people are naturally grateful.
"Thank you, brother!" Fang Yun thanked him, and then immediately returned to the army, and the army quickly advanced forward.
"Sons, the general is so benevolent. Should we help him? Seeing that Fang Yun really left quickly, and was so peaceful, he didn't underestimate him because of the difference in the identities of the two parties, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"But uncle, the people of our Luonan Village are all relics of the pre-Qin Dynasty......" but a young man walked out of the jungle and said with a little hesitation.
"How many years ago was that? One by one, you feel your conscience and think, if it weren't for the general, how many people would we have starved to death over the years? If it weren't for the general, how could the White Wave Army, which killed Ergouzi's entire family, be exterminated? The general is the general, the big man is the big man, we have inherited the love of others, we should know the kindness of the people! The middle-aged man couldn't help but scold when he heard this.
"Okay, Second Uncle Gui! Let's go out and help him! The young man couldn't resist it, so he immediately gathered more than 50 young people from the whole village and quickly escaped into the jungle. They were like wild beasts, shuttling through the jungle quickly, and their speed was even much faster than Fang Yun's cavalry troops.
Let's say that Fang Yun and the others left Luonan Village and continued to the north, at this time they were about fifty kilometers away from Tongguan, and it was about one hundred and ten miles away in ancient times.
It's just that it's getting late, and they have to choose to rest after continuing to march for an hour, where Shimen Town is located in the future, here and Luonan County, although there are also many mountains, but there is no shortage of plains.
At this moment, it is less than seventy miles away from Tongguan, and if you set off early tomorrow morning, you will be able to reach Tongguan in about two hours. According to Fang Yun's instructions, the soldiers were divided into three shifts for night duty, of which Fang Yun personally guarded one shift, one pawn Wei shift, and one pawn class.
Night began to fall, and the search range of the spies was reduced to within thirty miles, and they were still divided into three shifts for rest. At the same time, the envoys sent to the direction of the Chinese army were also constantly coming and going, confirming the distance between the two sides.
Chen Tao of the Chinese army said that they had arrived in Luonan village and temporarily camped outside the village after paying some food to the local people. At the same time, it said that the baggage troops of the rear army are also advancing towards this side in an orderly manner at the moment, and with the current distance of the Chinese army, they can support both sides at any time.
After receiving a clear answer, Fang Yun rested with confidence.
The next day, after the correction was completed, the army quickly killed Tongguan. At this moment, the enemy troops are getting closer and closer, which means that the probability of encountering enemy troops will also increase a lot. The most important thing is that there is no guarantee that there will be an enemy ambush during the final stretch of the journey.
A large number of traces of marching began to appear on the ground, and these traces were very fresh, that is, they were left in those two or three days, so they had not been covered by nature. These traces are all spreading forward. Through the binoculars, Fang Yun could even see that the enemy army was attacking the city on the side of Tongguan now!
"Go ahead and be careful on both sides!" Fang Yun quickly gave the order while continuing to lead the army forward.
It didn't take long for them to reach an area. An area they had to be cautious about. You know, in other areas, there are still a lot of fallen leaves and plants on the ground. But in this area, all the leaves and even weeds have been cleared, which is really a real precaution.
"Enemy tracks found on the mountain walls on both sides!" Spies quickly came to report.
Fang Yun signaled to Dian Wei, Dian Wei understood, and quickly took two thousand troops and killed them towards the mountain wall.
After a while, the sound of fighting could be heard on the hillside. And listening to the voice, it is not difficult to judge that Dian Wei has met a congenital-level general, and at this moment they have already begun to bombard the nirvana.
It's just that what he met was Dian Wei, and he was destined to be miserable. Not to mention that Dian Wei was originally terrifying with a high force value, but also that he was holding a Horcrux, and the armor on his body was even more psionic armor, and even the Wind Chasing White Phoenix under his seat was a real beast.
Chasing the Wind White Phoenix allowed him to gain the talent of 'Thunderbolt', plus his own talent of 'Blocking'. Fight against others, I'm afraid that even if Lu Bu comes. can not fall behind, and may even kill Lu Bu directly.
"Move slowly and watch out for the enemy!" Fang Yun continued to give the order to move forward.
Dianman quickly broke away from the army with three hundred cavalry and walked towards the area. What he meant was clear, it was nothing more than to explore a way. If there is a problem, he will take it, but if there is no problem. In this way, Fang Yun can also pass through this area safely.
When he walked through this area, he didn't encounter anything, so Fang Yun followed with confidence. At the same time, Dian Wei had begun to return, and there seemed to be fewer soldiers under his command. But looking at the way they were covered in blood, I thought they had killed a lot of enemy soldiers.
"My lord, the last general should be damned! The enemy had less than twenty men on the mountain wall, but his subordinates had lost more than eighty non-commissioned men. Dian Wei returned to Fang Yun in frustration and apologized.
"Why is this happening?" Fang Yun asked.
"When we walked up, we only noticed some strange iron bumps on the ground when we stepped on them. In a short time, these iron lumps burst open, killing more than 80 of our soldiers directly. At this time, the subordinates knew that these should be some kind of weapons of war for the application of gunpowder! Dian Wei said helplessly.
Hearing him say that, Fang Yun understood that this should be some kind of landmine. It's just that he can't figure out why the coalition forces use gunpowder and how did they get the formula?
In fact, he didn't know that the Lang Evil Palace was also Taoist, so he naturally studied gunpowder. While a large number of missionaries were carried out under the rule of the Combine Army, gunpowder technology naturally also passed into the hands of the Combine Army. was improved into a weapon of war, and even Liu Suncao and the three seem to have found another path of development, that is, the path of pure mechanical civilization.
And the catalyst that entered this path was the use of gunpowder!
"Not good! Come back immediately! Fang Yun shouted.
Dianman didn't understand, but he still came back, but the soldiers under his command took a step forward and stepped directly on one of the mines. Mines burst open, even triggering a series of explosions.
Dianman was also affected, and the war horse under his seat was directly blown to pieces, and he himself was also a fierce and unlucky man...... (To be continued......)
PS: The existence of the Heavenly Dao system is to allow the earth to embark on the route of mechanical civilization. Obviously, Fang Yun's appearance actually happened to help the Heavenly Dao, directly making the United Army step by step towards the route of mechanical civilization.
