Chapter 136: Jingjun Mountain
Guarding the Qingchuan Pass is relatively simple, Liu Yin's base camp is located here, and there is no problem with logistics support. Liu Yin has explored the topography of Qingchuankou, the landform of Qingchuankou is trumpet-shaped, to the south is a gentle river valley, to the north is a narrow gap, the two sides of the wall are straight as sharpening, Qingchuankou has a husband when the pass, the momentum of ten thousand people can not be opened.
However, there is only this danger in Qingchuan Pass, there is no depth of defense, and once the gap is breached, the enemy is like a bamboo, and it is impossible to resist at all. Moreover, the gap is extremely narrow, which can delay the enemy's attack, but it is not easy to deploy its own defensive forces.
More importantly, Qingchuankou does not have a condescending geographical advantage, which is a shortcoming for the application of firearms in battle, so Liu Yin has no intention of choosing Qingchuankou as the main battlefield for the time being, even if he wants to fight, this can only be regarded as the last line of defense at best.
"What is the topography of Jingjun Mountain?" Liu Yin didn't know the situation in Jingjun Mountain in front of him, so he only asked Ah Jian, who had been there.
Ah Jian was confused, he didn't know where Liu Yin was pointing, Liu Yin couldn't help but smile, Jingjun Mountain was a place name that came later, and it was the same as Qingchuankou, and now it is not called this name, or there is no name at all. He pointed to the location on the map with his finger, and Ah Jian suddenly said, "The young master is referring to here." The mountain peaks here are steep, the roads are narrow, and it is extremely difficult to pass, but it is an excellent ambush location, but the young master wants to ambush the Wei army here? ”
"How far is it?"
"It's about thirty miles, in fact, it's not far, you can see it when you turn over the mountain in front, but you also know that the road in this mountain is crooked, it looks very close, and it has to be a long way to walk."
Liu Yin nodded, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, marching in the mountain, looking not far away, it was not easy to walk. If Jingjun Mountain is really as Ah Jian said, it is the most ideal place to block the attack, the terrain is dangerous, the field of vision is broad, and the movements of the Wei army can be seen at a glance.
Having made up his mind, Liu Yin immediately instructed Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to lead the troops to prepare to set off, Jingjun Mountain is still thirty miles away, and the road ahead can only be walked on foot, such a large amount of ordnance, grain, grass and baggage can only be transported by people on their backs, and it is necessary to build fortifications before the Wei army arrives, and the time is already very urgent.
Now Liu Yin is completely racing against time, Deng Ai's army is getting closer and closer, and the journey of more than 100 miles will arrive in two or three days at most, the time is tight and the task is heavy, if it is delayed, I am afraid it will be too late.
Except for a very small number of private soldiers who were left to guard the base camp, the rest of the troops all advanced in the direction of Jingjun Mountain, armor, ordnance, dry food, and the weight of each soldier was at least 50 catties or more.
These thirty miles of mountain roads completely test the quality of these private soldiers, ordinary people walk these mountain roads, not to mention the load, that is, the sleeves are empty, but also tired out of breath, these private soldiers carry heavy suits, carrying large wooden boxes, but can still take vigorous steps, enough to prove that the food of the Anping palace and the Ma Zhang Zhao family is not in vain.
The Shijia Hao clan can be said to have spared no expense in the cultivation of private soldiers, and they basically took the route of elite soldiers, although the number of people is small, but all of them are brave and fierce. Although the imperial court did not have explicit regulations on the number of private tribes owned by the major wealthy families, the Yuan family had tens of thousands of tribes in the Later Han Dynasty, but in the Three Kingdoms period, especially in the Shu Han Dynasty, where the land was narrow and the people were few, the number of tribes owned by the major wealthy families was obviously reduced a lot, and even the high-ranking ministers did not dare to arbitrarily expand the number of tribes, the main reason was naturally to prevent the suspicion of the lord. The more personal pieces you have, the more difficult it will be for the emperor to sleep, for fear that you will rebel and usurp the throne.
It's not a good thing to be suspicious of those in charge. Therefore, in the development of private troops, the wealthy families of the scholars invariably adopted the line of elite soldiers, and the soldiers were not many but fine, so the selection of private soldiers was extremely strict, and it was impossible to become a private subordinate without good physical conditions. In terms of training, the wealthy family of the Shi family also spared no effort, providing good food and drink, hiring a head coach to guide them with a high salary, and spending a lot of money on equipment, and the armor and weapons of many family soldiers were even better than the regular army of the imperial court.
Under such conditions, the quality of the private troops created is naturally first-class, and the combat effectiveness will never be lost to the regular army; although the mountain roads are steep, these family soldiers are still vigorous and vigorous, which shows the effectiveness of their daily training.
In the evening, the vanguard had already climbed Jingjun Mountain.
Compared with the majestic Zuodan Mountain in Jinyan, Jingjun Mountain is just a small hill, and it is precisely because Jingjun Mountain is relatively gentle that it has become one of the few passable passes on the Yinping Trail.
Of course, this kind of gentleness is also relative to those towering peaks on the left and right sides that are straight like sharpening, in fact, the gap between Jingjun Mountain and the bottom of the mountain is quite large, Liu Yin climbed to the top of Jingjun Mountain, looked north, under the sunset, the ravines and cliffs in front of him were unobstructed, and even the winding mountain road dozens of miles away could be seen.
Liu Yin is very satisfied with the topography of Jingjun Mountain, the east is a towering mountain, the west is an unfathomable cliff, the Wei army came from the north, Jingjun Mountain is the main road they can't bypass, the nearby terrain has been surveyed, at least within a hundred miles, there will be no second road to pass, if Deng Ai wants to take Jiangyou and Fucheng, Jingjun Mountain is the only way and there is no one.
Thinking of this, Liu Yin couldn't help but feel a little restless in his body, it was a feeling of surging blood, the real first war since crossing into the Three Kingdoms was about to be staged, which would be related to the life and death of Shu Han, whether it could change history, it depended on the outcome of this blocking war.
And Liu Yin's opponent, that is Deng Ai, who can be ranked on the list of famous generals in the long history of 5,000 years, can compete with such an opponent, Liu Yin's heart is a little excited, the road of life, what is more exciting and exciting than challenging the peak. Deng Ai, the famous general of the Wei State, will surely become a peak to cross on the road of his life. Now, he is the object he needs to look up to, and only by truly crossing him and conquering him can Liu Yin reach the pinnacle of his life.
Perhaps, after crossing the past, Liu Yin will find that there are higher peaks, but at this moment, Deng Ai is a dangerous peak in front of him.
Life is a challenge, if you win, you have the qualifications to continue to move forward, and if you lose, everything is over.
