Chapter 375: Battle of the Street Pavilion (4)

To be precise, Jieting Pass Valley was originally a huge river valley, in the era of the Ice Age, the Longxi area was covered by huge glaciers, and when the glaciers melted, a large number of floods rushed out of a gap in the towering Longshan Mountain, forming today's Jieting Ancient Road, and only the power of nature can shape this unique topography.

Now the street pavilion, can no longer see the surging torrent, only a shallow river, from the top of Longshan, like a thin jade belt, around the earth mountain, and from the abandoned street pavilion ancient city flow, flowing to the east.

This small river is the only source of water in Jieting, Sima Wang has sent someone to check carefully, the earth mountain that the Shu army is distracted, there is no spring stream, if the Shu army wants to get water, it must go down the mountain.

Sima Wang didn't worry about any other water sources on the mountain, if there were, Ma Jian would not have been defeated quickly. Water is the source of all things, people can't do without water, livestock can't do without water, as long as the water supply on the mountain is cut off, Sima Wang believes that in a few days, the Shu army will completely collapse.

Sima Wang did not send troops to guard the river, but ordered Hu Shi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush a mile away from the river, and he specially set aside a little space for the Shu army, so that they could venture down the mountain to get water when they were thirsty.

"Dadu Governor, your hand is indeed high, within three days, the Shu army will be defeated!" Hu Shi looked at Sima flatteringly.

Sima Wang smiled slightly, don't look at the impregnable defense on the earth mountain, just cut off the water source. The Wei army will be able to win with certainty. At this point. Sima Wang is confident. Of course, there is also a successful precedent, Zhang He relied on this means to nail Ma Jian to the pillar of shame in history, and also made Zhuge Liang's hope of restoring the Central Plains and reviving the Han dynasty come to naught. The Shu people were completely annihilated on the land of Yongliang.

"Jumping clown!" Sima Wang's nostrils snorted softly, and looked contemptuously at the top of Tushan, in Sima Wang's eyes, whether it was Liu Yin or Fu Yan, at best, they were just a few opportunistic treacherous people, clowns who played tricks, in the face of absolute strength, they were simply vulnerable, and their 100,000 troops would inevitably be able to crush them all the way. Sweep them out of Longyou like garbage.

An opponent who does not even have the most basic military knowledge and military literacy is not worthy of his Sima Wang's respect. In Shu, the only opponent is Jiang Wei, Sima Wang is very nostalgic for the days when he played against Jiang Wei. And the current opponent is simply weak, Sima Wang moved his eyes to the west, he can already start to consider the issue of recovering the Longyou counties.

At most, three days at most, only need to delay for three more days in the street pavilion, and the problem of the street pavilion can be completely solved, and when the time comes, the Shu soldiers will definitely not be able to hold on, and going down the mountain to break through will become their only way out.

The Wei army does not need to attack the mountain at all, it needs to set up a position on the way down the mountain for the Shu army, and wait for them to throw themselves into the net, under the siege of 100,000 troops, the Shu army wants to break through, it is simply a pipe dream.

Sima Wang ordered Tang Bin's generals to guard all intersections and be ready for battle, and they must not let the Shu army leave the street pavilion alive.

Tang Bin and others were generous in receiving orders, although the first wave of attacks ended dismally, but this did not seem to shake the confidence of the Wei generals, seeing that Sima Wang's self-confidence still infected the Wei generals, everyone was in high spirits, each performing their duties, ready to wipe out the Shu army.

Sima Wang was leisurely with his hands behind his back, slowly pacing through the military tent, leaving Chang'an, Xiaoxing overnight, all the way fast, Sima Wang almost never slept well, if it was a few years ago, Sima Wang didn't seem to feel tired, but the years are not forgiving, Sima Wang, who has passed the sixtieth year this year, really feels a little powerless.

It's old, it's old! It's really not good to be old. originally thought that after being returned to Luoyang this time, Sima Wang would be able to retire in the position of a hussar general, but the world was unpredictable, and the Shu people took advantage of the situation to attack Longxi, and had to let Sima Wang, who had arrived in Ershun, put on his robe and set foot on this familiar land again.

This night, Sima Wang slept very peacefully, originally he had a problem with urgency to urinate, and he would get up two or three times every night, but Bisheng slept soundly tonight, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

The attendants brought him water to wash his face, and the shiny brass basin was full of stream water, clear and without a trace of impurities. At about this time, the Shu soldiers on the mountain not only did not have water to wash their faces and mouths, but even drinking water was probably very difficult, right? Sima Wang secretly thought about it, tens of thousands of people and horses, the daily water consumption is also quite amazing, even if the Shu army will store a little water before going up the mountain, it will definitely not be able to support it for a few days.

After Sima Wang finished washing, the pioneer officer Tang Bin hurriedly entered the tent.

"How's it going, what's the situation on the mountain?" Sima Wang asked very calmly. Last night, it was Tang Bin who was in charge of patrolling,

Tang Bin said with a slight sadness: "As usual, the Shu people don't seem to have any movement. ”

Sima Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is the first day, as long as they keep besieging it, there will always be a time when they can't resist." The whole army was ordered to be on alert, strictly defend the position, and beware of the sneak attack of the Shu people. Especially at night, I was cheered up for twelve points, this rabbit is in a hurry and has to bite people, forcing the Shu people to the end of the mountain, they don't fight with you. ”

"No." Tang Bin said yes and retreated.

As soon as Tang Bin left, Hu Shi came in, he guarded the water source all night, and he didn't even see half a figure, Hu Shi was also so depressed, could it be that all Shu people could suck wind and drink dew, and they didn't need to drink water?

Sima Wang's expression was calm, he smiled faintly, and instructed Hu Shi to guard the water source.

The Shu people on the top of the mountain did not make the slightest movement, and the Wei soldiers under the mountain also ended the first day of the siege in boredom. By the next day, there was still nothing to do, and Wei Jun couldn't help but be a little slack, as if he felt that the sun had set for a long time.

On the third day, there was still a dead silence on the top of Tushan Mountain, as if no one could be seen, and many Wei soldiers could no longer hold their breath, they were all whispering and talking there, and even Sima Wang, who had always been confident and calm, could not sit still.
