In the Heavens

"One by one in the heavens (!

Shangyang City, located at the junction of Yuedi and the southwest, emerged as a city of commerce and trade due to water transport.

With the advent of troubled times, the strategic value of Shangyang City became more prominent and became the focus of the Southwest Army and the Vietnamese Army.

Taking down Shangyang City, the southwest army can go down along the river, marching into the Jianghuai hinterland all the way, and collect the land of Wuyue.

It can be said that Shangyang City is not only the portal of King Yue, but also the portal of King Wu, but it happens to be in the hands of King Yue.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Mu took the lead in feigning attacks last year. The geographical position determines the attack from Shangyang City, and the route down the river is better.

Otherwise, you would have to climb over the mountains and attack all the way against the fortresses and cities. Other issues are easy to talk about, but the key is that the logistics can't keep up.

Even in the world of Gaowu, the transportation of food still depends on the people's husband. Although high-end equipment such as storage rings exists, it is too much for the consumption of the army.

Out of consideration of strategic value, Shangyang City, which used to be prosperous in commerce and trade, has now turned into a fortress of war.

In order to strengthen the city's defenses, King Yue began to build fortifications here two years ago. At this moment, the city wall of Shangyang City is more than ten feet high and three or four feet wide.

Such a strong city defense, King Yue was not enough. He spent a lot of money to invite the master of the formation, and arranged a number of formations on the wall.

Not only is the city defense strong, there are also 200,000 troops stationed in the city, and enough food and grass for the troops to eat for two years are hoarded to prevent the long-term siege by the Southwestern soldiers.

Such a sufficient preparation can be said to be infallible. But Zhao Wenge, as the guardian envoy, still felt uneasy.

Since King Wu sent troops to attack Dongyue, King Yue has deployed troops on the southern front. Except for the strategic location of Shangyang City, the number of troops stationed in other regions has been drastically reduced.

Having played against the Southwest Army for a long time, Zhao Wenge understood the opponent's strength very well. It is not how strong the enemy's individual combat power is, but the key is that the enemy has not eaten empty salaries.

As far as the commander is concerned, not having to spend money on wages does not only represent cleanliness, but also an adequate supply of logistical materials.

In fact, the signs of eating out of money after entering the troubled times have been curbed. All commanders know that the army in their hands is their capital.

If circumstances permit, most generals hope that they have more and more elite soldiers, but the problem is that the actual situation does not allow them.

In theory, the military salary paid by the King of Yue is sufficient. The reality is that this sufficiency is limited to the full amount at the time of delivery, and halfway transportation also needs to be lost.

The approved transportation loss is only in the theoretical state. In many cases, the losses caused by various emergencies cannot be reported and can only be borne by oneself.

In order to ensure a sufficient supply, it is the best choice to falsely report some troops and eat empty wages. The difference is limited to the courage of the generals. The courage only needs to smooth out the expenses.

Fight against this background, not only to be careful of the enemy, but also to be careful of your teammates.

Because the nominal army of 100,000 may only be 50,000 to 60,000 in place, and perhaps only 10,000 to 20,000 are in trouble.

The enemy has an army of 500,000 and ours has an army of 1 million. The advantage lies with me!

As a result, when I arrived on the battlefield, I found the enemy's 500,000 army, which was a genuine army of 500,000; my own 100 army, maybe only three to four hundred thousand people came, and some of them were temporarily opened up.

The upper limit is easy to calculate, but there is no way to estimate the lower limit. No one knows how bad his teammates are, after all, they came from the Great Zhou era.

Therefore, in previous wars, the Vietnamese army has been suppressed and beaten by the Southwest soldiers. If the generals do not have two or three times the paper strength advantage, they dare not take the initiative to attack.

The only thing that made Zhao Wenge gratified was that the Southwest King was deeply trapped in the Lingnan battlefield. He didn't have the time to come and fight the autumn wind for a while, so he could take a few sleeps first.

After patrolling the city defense, Zhao Wenge, who was about to go home to prepare for the marriage of the twenty-eighth concubine, heard a familiar voice behind him as soon as he stepped down the tower.

"The general is not doing well, and there is a smoke from the south, I am afraid that the Southwest soldier is about to fight over."

Regardless of the question of marrying a concubine, Zhao Wenge flew up to the tower and looked at the wolf smoke that lit up in the distance.

Being able to serve as a defender in a strategically important place like Shangyang, in addition to being the younger brother of the King of Yue, Zhao Wenge's own ability is also an important factor.

As soon as King Yue mobilized his troops to leave, the enemy hurriedly launched an offensive, obviously leaking the wind.

The movement of the army is too loud, and confidentiality is impossible. But that was slowly leaking the news, and in this situation, it is obvious that someone leaked the news.

Realizing that it was not good, Zhao Wenge immediately instructed the generals: "Immediately send out horses to detect the forces of the invading enemy, and also summon the family in the city to discuss the matter of defense."

There is no mention of asking for help from the King of Yue. Now the enemy's situation is unknown, and asking for help will only disrupt the King's strategic deployment.

If the enemy is only tentatively attacking, he can also keep Shangyang City by relying on the defenders in the city. As for other areas, if you lose it, you will lose it.

Fighting for hegemony in troubled times, who has never lost ground? It is nothing more than a question of whether it can be taken back. As long as the lost ground can be recovered later, it will be harmless.

If the main force of the Southwest soldiers were to attack, it would be useless even if the King Yue sent reinforcements. The current battlefield of East Vietnam has already dragged down a large number of troops of the Yue King.

As his own family, Zhao Wenge knows the strength of Yue Wang very well. One-on-one is still difficult, and facing the two enemies of King Wu and King Southwest at the same time, his father-in-law has no chance of winning at all.

What he can do right now is to pull the big family in the city into the chariot and buy time for his master as much as possible.

Fortunately, the King of Southwest has done too much to suppress the powerful family. These family members will not defect to the past without a last resort, otherwise Zhao Wenge really doesn't know what to do.

...

Under the scorching sun, Li Mu's army finally appeared under Shangyang City. Looking at Jiancheng in front of him, he put out the idea of ​​doing it himself.

Mainly it is not necessary. The king has a king's bearing. If a Shangyang city is only a small city, he will have to seize it by himself, then what else do his subordinates do?

Glancing at the army behind him, Li Mu waved his hand: "The order goes on, camp on the spot, and attack at three quarters tonight!"

Speaking so openly, it is clear that he is telling the enemy to attack the city tonight. I heard that the general in the army had a toothache.

An upright veteran stepped forward and persuaded: "My lord, Shangyang city defense is extremely strong, and a multi-layer defensive formation is arranged. I am afraid that it is too powerful to break the city defense by surprise..."

Li Mu was still very satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates. Such a foolish tactical deployment did not say that he did not understand the art of war, and that he should not be blindly commanded, it was all about giving him the face of the lord.

"General Zhou, don't worry. I just looked at Yangcheng Qi, and found that the black Qi here is rolling and there is evil Yin Qi gushing out. It is obviously a sign that the people in the city are sinful and the calamity is imminent. There must be something big in the city tonight, right. It's a great opportunity to break the city."

With the addition of "heavenly arithmetic", unreasonable can also become reasonable. Li Mu did not keep secrets. Everyone knew that he was not only a high-level cultivation base, but also a master of formation and heaven.

This ability to pinch would count, but it frightened many people. Since learning that Li Mu is the Master of Heaven's Secret, all his men have become behaved.

Regarding this, Li Mu was also happy to see the result, but it was very troublesome to control it, especially when faced with a bunch of bureaucrats. The simplest operation is to make them afraid.

The founding monarch loves to kill people. In addition to the need to use heavy codes in troubled times, more importantly, killing is the easiest way to solve the problem.

It is better to let the people be afraid than to let them lose their awe and toss unscrupulously.

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, General Zhou, who was originally righteous and confident, hurriedly apologized: "It's the veteran stupid, please atone for it!"

If it weren't for the armor and body, I'm afraid he would have knelt down.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Mu graciously waved his hand and said, "It's okay. General Zhou is also committed to the public, what a crime!"

Except for the fact that the imminent calamity is true, after all, the advent of military disaster is itself a catastrophe, and the rest is artistic processing. Anyway, they are all fooling a bunch of laymen, and Li Mu is not afraid of being pierced.

Even if a celestial clerk found something wrong, it was because his cultivation was not deep enough to be able to tell.

...

The sky gradually dimmed, but Zhao Wenge, who was guarding the city, became more and more nervous, as if something big was about to happen.

This premonition has saved his life several times. Now that this kind of knotty eyes, he dare not take it lightly.

In order to prevent any accidents, he even brought all the elite children of the family in the city with him. The famous name is to focus on training, in fact, they are hostages.

In spite of this restriction, when it came to life and death, he did not have much influence on the family and the family, so he did it.

Constrained is better than unconstrained. In order to fool everyone, he repeatedly assured that the Yue King's reinforcements were on the way.

Under the night, shadows continued to flash. One by one was dressed in armor, just like a black armored army.

"Ghost!"

Without knowing it was a shout, Shangyang City fell into chaos in an instant. In the face of ghosts, ordinary people's survivability is too weak.

Ghost disasters reappear, and many people's hearts are broken. Fortunately, the target of these ghosts was not them, but attacked the City Lord's Mansion and the major families.

Seeing organized Yin soldiers appeared, Zhao Wenge was stunned. He has seen a lot of ghosts, but Yin Bing has encountered it for the first time.

Even if it is recorded in ancient books that the gods and spirits raise Yin soldiers, that is only a mention, and no one has actually encountered it.

Right now, this sudden yin soldier has become the biggest disaster. The strong evil spirit, coupled with the leading ghost kings, all told him that something had happened.

"Form an army quickly!"

It was too late to order at this time. The panic spread, and many soldiers had become headless flies and began to run around.

How can the hundreds of guards in the city guard mansion resist the Yin army's surprise attack? Even if the golden core enshrinement in the city was shot, it was cold without being able to toss a few times.

The city guard mansion is gone, and so are the noble families. The soldiers guarding the city were dumbfounded. There were ghosts inside and the enemy attacking the city. They really didn't know what to do.

"It's important to destroy the ghosts first, or we will attack!"

I don't know who shouted, causing a chain reaction in an instant. The defensive army, whose morale had collapsed, had no desire to fight~www.wuxiahere.com~, especially the private armies of the whole family, the desire to surrender was even stronger. The wife and children are still in the city.

The city belongs to the King of Yue, but his wife and children belong to his own. Which is lighter and heavier, it is clear at a glance.

The city gate was slowly opened, and the Southwest soldiers who had just launched an attack, who had not yet understood what was going on, were greeted into the city.

However, the yin soldiers who were in trouble at this moment no longer exist, and only some ghosts who took advantage of the fire and robbed them were still doing things in the city.

The Battle of Shangyang was just the beginning of the legend, followed by various accidental coincidences one after another, using facts to explain what is "God's Mandate".
