Chapter 81: Li Daitao Rigid
Valley plain is a type of terrain formed between river valleys. It is formed on gentle slopes due to water erosion and sedimentation, carrying a large amount of sediment.
Many river valleys and plains became the place where humans first settled, and gradually developed into later cities. The biggest feature of this terrain is that it is surrounded by mountains, and rivers flow through it.
The place where Langzhong County is located is such a small river valley plain, surrounded by mountains. This plain was created by the Jialing River, and then humans gathered and finally built such a city.
When Zhao Weiji approached this city for the first time, an ominous omen lingered in his mind because the geographical environment of this city was too easy to set up an ambush.
The terrain of the plain near Langzhong County is like a gourd. Going south along the Jialing River, a plain suddenly appears. If the flow of the river is the entrance to this plain, this entrance is too much like the handle of a gourd.
.
The most critical thing is that when entering the plain from that entrance, the steep mountains on the side also have too many gentle slopes due to the plain. Such gentle slopes are enough for the army to ambush on it.
In addition, Langzhong County, which stands in the center of the plain, suddenly blocked the road on the north bank of the river (at this time, the Jialing River turned a corner near the plain, flowing from north to south to east to west), which means that if
If you want to continue walking along the river, you must pass through Langzhong County, and there are almost no detours.
When Zhao Weiji led the army into this plain, it was like entering a big urn. Once the way back was blocked, it would really be a trap in the urn.
As the saying goes, it is no coincidence that Zhao Weiji came to whatever he was afraid of. When the entire army entered the plain, a loud noise was suddenly heard.
"Bang."
When the army looked towards the source of the sound, they found that large rocks were falling continuously, quickly blocking the way they came. Although there were not many rocks in the end, it took a long time to clear them up.
It will be over soon.
"Oops, notify the whole army, the enemy is attacking." Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Weiji's first thought was that he had encountered an ambush.
As he expected, there were shouts of killing on the hillside in the northeast, and a large number of rolling logs rolled down the hilltop. Rebel soldiers also began to pour out of Langzhong County in the southeast, and in addition to those in the west,
The river was rolling, and the army was completely embattled on all sides.
"What should we do?" Judging from the current situation, the biggest threat to the army is the rolling logs. Once impacted, they are impossible to resist. Then there are the rebel soldiers coming out of Langzhong City. Although Zhao Weiji has
I am confident that I can use the cavalry to break up the formation of soldiers coming out of Langzhong County at once, but there is no guarantee that the infantry can successfully evade all the attacks of rolling logs.
Without the support of these infantry, even if the cavalry survives, they will not be able to attack the city.
But in the midst of this flash of lightning, Zhao Weiji suddenly saw a huge problem with the hillside. The slope was gentle, but there were too many rocks on the mountain. When the logs rolled down, a large amount of wood was lost because of the chaos.
Because of this, the stone kept flying away. This gave Zhao Weiji a chance to gamble.
"All troops, move closer to the mountain, quickly."
"My lord, you are crazy. Now you keep rolling logs down, and you want the army to move closer to the mountain?" Sima Rang on the side quit. Before, you were done targeting me, but now you plan to let the whole army die.
?
"What I said is an order. The whole army moves closer to the mountain." Zhao Weiji did not have time to explain this physical problem to Sima Rang at this time. In short, there is still a chance of survival if he moves closer to the bottom of the mountain.
Since it was the prince's order, the whole army could not control it so much, and all the soldiers quickly moved closer to the mountain.
When all the soldiers moved closer to the bottom of the mountain, they were surprised to find that the rolling logs that kept hitting them were less likely to hit them. Many of the rolling logs suddenly bounced off the protruding rocks when they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain.
It flew up and fell directly into the river.
Although the army was still attacked by many rolling logs, due to Zhao Weiji's proper handling, the casualties were not as heavy as expected.
On the other hand, the attacking rebels suddenly discovered that the rolling log did not seem to have the desired effect. The rolling log that was supposed to roll down the mountain and push the army into the river actually flew up over the heads of the army and fell directly into the river.
In the river, a feeling that the officers and soldiers were blessed by God began to spread in the minds of the rebel soldiers.
As this emotion spread, the soldiers who were supposed to charge began to slow down their pace. Zhang Yu, who was leading the team, naturally saw this situation. In order to boost morale, he shouted: "Don't be afraid, that's not
No matter how blessed the gods are, the officers and soldiers are just lucky. We have a second step plan. If you all follow me, we will definitely win."
I don't know if the second step of the plan moved the soldiers, but the soldiers' fear seemed not as serious as before.
The second step of Zhang Yu's plan was to attack with fire. The old man had already thought of it, and if the rolling wood could not cause too much damage to the army, it would be necessary to make two preparations.
This second-hand preparation is the fireball technique. The fireball technique mentioned here is of course not the fireball technique of Western magic. It is made of straw, which is then ignited and rolled down the mountain. The impact of such a huge fireball is greater than
The rolling log is only high but not low, and because it is a ball made of straw, it is relatively soft and not easily bounced off by rocks.
"Fire, fire." I don't know which soldier shouted. The officers and soldiers, who had just escaped from the danger of rolling logs over the top, looked at the hillside and saw fireballs starting to roll down the mountain one after another.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Zhao Weiji's miraculous decision just now prevented so many casualties. At this time, Sima Rang could only hope that Zhao Weiji would come up with another strange move.
"What should I do? Cold salad." At this time, Zhao Weiji was completely panicked. The rolling wood can also use physics knowledge to avoid it. How do you want me to avoid this kind of fireball? It can't be bounced or destroyed. Zhao Weiji has another
If you are not a god, how can you have so many solutions?
"If I had known, I would have prayed to God more often. Who can save them except God at this time." Just when the shadow of death shrouded Zhao Weiji's heart for the first time, he suddenly felt something dripping on him.
On top of the water, when he looked up to the sky, countless water droplets fell on his face.
Unexpectedly, it was God's blessing. It rained at this time, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Due to the heavy rain, the fireball rolling down the mountain began to gradually extinguish, and when it rolled to the bottom of the mountain, it only
All that was left were burnt haystacks.
"God bless, Great Song Yongchang, this is God asking us to put down this rebellion, brothers." At this time, Zhao Weiji suddenly reacted. This is the best opportunity to boost morale. This is a fatal situation.
Let them all escape. If we don't use God to fool the soldiers at this moment, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity?
Zhao Weiji's words not only moved all the officers and soldiers, but also stimulated all the rebels. His words were like a dagger inserted into the heart of every rebel.
Is it true that God is blessing the officers and soldiers? The first rolling wooden missile, the second heavy rain. If this is not God’s blessing, then what is God’s blessing?
Seeing that both plans could not stop the army, Zhang Yu was completely desperate at this time. He could only watch the army's cavalry rushing toward his troops without any solution.
"General, we can retreat to Langzhong County and hold on with the power of the city."
Zhang Yu was immediately awakened by the soldier's words. Yes, there was also Langzhong County.
Langzhong County has been an important town in Shu since the Han Dynasty. During the Shu-Han Period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei personally led troops to garrison here. Although it is not as high as the important town in the Northern Expedition, the city is high and the pond is deep, but it is not so easy to capture.
But the problem is that Langzhong County must be in your hands, Zhang Yu.
When the rebels wanted to turn back, they suddenly discovered that the person standing on the top of the city in Langzhong County was no longer one of their own. The person standing on the city was Li Jiguang, and Wang Cormorant, who was originally stationed in Langzhong, had been hung on the city. And that man was hanging on the city.
Although the wise old man was not hung on the city with a rope, he was escorted by two soldiers and stood beside Li Jiguang.
"Li Daitao Jong, what a Li Daitao Jong. This Zhao Weiji did not hesitate to sacrifice himself so that you could steal Langzhong. Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi, is the existence of this son a blessing or a curse for you?" Seeing that the situation was over, the old man also
I can only sigh like this.
In fact, Li Daitao's strategy was not entirely Zhao Weiji's, but more Li Jiguang's independent choice. When Zhao Weiji's troops were attacked by rolling logs, Li Jiguang had already led the army to cross the river. Originally, Li Jiguang wanted to rescue Zhao Weiji.
However, he observed through the telescope that there was nothing serious happening with the army, so Li Jiguang immediately changed his attention and took advantage of the fact that the main rebel troops were on the battlefield to launch a surprise attack on Langzhong City.
Since there were not many defenders in Langzhong City at the moment, and the city gates were open to facilitate the rebels' retreat, Li Jiguang's troops easily entered and captured Langzhong City.
Then Zhao Weiji actually escaped the second wave of attacks with God's blessing, and the overall situation was completely settled.
Seeing that the city was taken and his morale was low, Zhang Yu had no choice but to surrender.
In this way, Zhao Weiji's first and most important step in entering Sichuan to quell the rebellion was realized. But at this time, he was not too eager to deal with Zhang Yu, Wang Cormorant and other rebel generals. The one who wanted to attack with a pile of earth flow
Experts in tricks are the people who interest him the most.
