Chapter 1555 Five Great Passes! (Wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Suddenly thinking about this matter made Wang Kang very worried and worried about the next meeting!
But now that things have come to this point, there is no way. If you retreat, it will be impossible, so you can only move forward.
Wang Kang ordered the marching to accelerate!
His journey is very critical, and he can't have any problems, and he may be able to rescue him in time...
The last level is still missing when we meet Shouchun!
As the capital of the Great Chu State, Shouchun is of course the top priority, and it is the most closely guarded place. Therefore, there are five major barriers outside Shouchun City.
These five heroic passes are also the last barrier to protect Shouchun!
It is divided into southeast, northwest, plus a southwest.
Five directions and five passes.
This time, Wang Kang wanted to capture four passes, and the only thing he missed was the Eastern pass, because he came from the west and could encounter more obstacles when he went around to the Eastern Pass.
Therefore, as long as you can break the four levels, Shouchun will be in front of you and you will be able to meet successfully!
Jiang Chenghua led his troops to attack the southern Tianjing Pass, Ma Ren led his troops to attack the southwest Tiemen Pass, Wang Kang led his troops to attack the western Jianmen Pass, and Lu Zhao led his troops to attack the northern Jinsuo Pass.
This is the initial strategic plan, four routes attack the four major barriers, and the cavalry led by Sanar can provide support for branch routes in need based on actual conditions due to good mobility!
These four barriers are four obstacles. As long as they are broken, Shouchun will lose its guard and can be easily captured.
Of course, this is also the final hard battle.
It can be imagined that Da Chu will definitely use this as the final barrier.
The reason for division of troops to attack is actually to be more stable.
The Great Chu court now has few troops, and now the situation of troops has reversed. If they divide their troops to attack, the enemy will inevitably divide their troops to stop them.
If this is the case, there will inevitably be a situation where the more important one is.
Increase the guards of which pass, or relax which pass.
As long as there is a breakthrough in the four major barriers, it will be used as a breakthrough point and affect the overall situation!
This is the real core of the five-way attack and meeting Shouchun!
Now, it is only one step away from victory!
According to Wang Kang's estimate, it may be difficult to break through the barrier, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
First of all, the troops are not equal.
They have the advantage of military strength, and basically each of them has more than 300,000 troops.
Secondly, when he set out, Wang Kang equipped each army with the corresponding number of Shenji Camp soldiers to follow him.
There is no need for large-scale siege equipment to break through the barrier, just need to attack with artillery.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is no longer a humid environment with snow in winter, it can ensure that the artillery can be used normally.
Of course, this was just an idea in advance, but now something went wrong. Wang Kang must ensure that he has made breakthrough progress along the way, so that even if there are problems in other ways, he can rescue him in time or relieve his pressure!
Wang Kang's offensive target was Jianmen Pass. When he stepped up his march, he had already received specific news on Shouchun's side...
Shouchun, the most powerful city in the mainland, is also the most stable city.
The people living here have always been in a very comfortable state. Shouchun is located in the middle of the Great Chu, surrounded by various vassal states, and there are five great passes to guard it, which should be the safest place!
The Great Chu often fought wars in other countries, and of course they had invaded other countries before.
War is a very distant thing for Shouchun.
They never thought that the enemy could reach this place.
But now, such a thing happened, they felt for the first time that the war was so close to them...
Shouchun is also in chaos, losing the quietness and peace of the past.
It is reported that the enemy is about to reach the four major barriers. Once the barrier is broken, Shouchun will face a crisis...
This kind of news cannot be hidden.
As for the outbreak of the war, countless refugees fled from the northwest and southwest regions, they also brought bad situations from all over the country to Shouchun.
Just two months ago, the checkpoints were all closed and outsiders were prohibited from entering the pass and blocking them from outside the pass. This is for the safety of Shouchun.
The city is in chaos, rumors are everywhere, and people are uneasy.
"Have you heard it? The enemy has reached the patio."
"It's not just Tianjing Pass, but also Tiemen Pass, Jianmen Pass, and Jinsuo Pass. The five routes are attacking Shouchun together, which is not something you say."
"Hey, this is a problem. Our Shouchun is not safe anymore. I heard that many of the big tribes in the city are preparing to escape east, and the safest east is now."
"Once Shouchun is broken, Da Chu will be over. Where can I find a safe place?"
"You said these princes are really useless. They were attacked by the enemy all the way, and even King Rong treasoned the country and colluded with the enemy!"
"But not only King Rong, but also King Hong and King Han surrendered. They provided convenience for the enemy and provided military supplies and food to help the evildoers!"
"Oh, Da Chu has already finished his energy!"
"I dare not say such words, the court has recently..."
"What are you saying? It's scattered!"
Just as they were talking, a team of soldiers came over.
The leader directly scolded: "Who dares to spread rumors and disturb people's hearts in the enemy army? Be careful, don't commit crimes against the wind!"
Such rebukes caused the people gathered here to disperse immediately.
The same scene happened in various streets in Shouchun.
Martial law has begun in the city and a curfew has begun!
The atmosphere of war has swept over, making everyone uneasy...
Compared with the chaos in the city, the palace is quite stable, and it is still the same as before!
Of course there is a reason for this, because Emperor Chu is in charge!
As long as Emperor Chu is here, the ministers and civil and military officials in the court will feel at ease!
The court did not fail to do anything. They all knew that His Majesty had drawn a lot of people from the eastern vassal states, and they had already entered several passes to make up for the previous vacancies. Although there were not many, they were also a response.
In addition, after a special envoy visit and a series of negotiations, the kings of Wu, Wei and Ba, these three countries have agreed to continue to send troops to help Chu.
The three countries each sent out 100,000 to form an army of 300,000, and were about to reach Yangping Pass in the eastern part.
A large amount of military supplies have been transported to the pass, obviously preparing to fight a protracted war, so it cannot collapse for the time being...
Chongming Palace.
The main hall where Emperor Chu handles government affairs.
At this moment, in the center of the hall, a large sand table was placed.
This sand table is exactly the current area of war.
Emperor Chu Xiang Lintian was right next to him. He grabbed small flags representing the army and inserted them on the sand table.
It is clear that red represents the enemy, and blue represents themselves.
Xiang Lintian inserted it very carefully, with no difference in position. It took a long time to insert it. I saw that the small red flag representing Wang Kang's army was surrounded by all the blue flags...
ps: Happy birthday to the great motherland, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival for all book friends!
