When Guo Shao woke up, there was a noisy noise in his ear. With a "wow", the curtain hung at the door was suddenly opened, and his eyes were shaken by the bright light. Luo Mengzi's voice said: "Big Brother, it's sunny!"

It took a while for Guo Shao to react, and when he got out of the tent, he saw people and horses moving around, and a round of sun hanging in the sky in the east. Not only that, but the sky was blue, the sky and the earth were clear, and yesterday's low and suppressed gray clouds have long disappeared. There is a rainbow arc hanging on the blue sky, and the orange streamer is very beautiful in the sky.

"It's so beautiful!" A smile appeared on Guo Shao's face.

Jing Niang came over and said with joy: "I'm not mistaken, wait for it to clear."

"What does that word say, thank you Queen Mother, thank God..." Guo Shao laughed. Jingniang was speechless, her eyes lifted and rolled her eyes.

Seeing Guo Shao standing at the door, the generals gathered here one after another.

At this moment, a voice outside the fence yelled: "Report! Good news!" A messenger hurried over in the wet mud, handed a memorial report, and said loudly: "Dong Qianfeng According to the report, the navy broke through the Qu Gate and defeated the navy who blocked the river by the Shu army. Dozens of warships in our department have entered the open water."

"Haha..." Guo Shao raised his head and laughed, looking back and seeing all the generals excited, he said, "The whole chess game is alive. Don't talk nonsense, order the whole army, the army will come out immediately, and go to the city of Kuizhou! "

……

The Kuizhou Chinese Army marched in the hall, and dozens of civil and military personnel gathered in the lobby. Above Wang Zhaoyuan was walking back and forth quickly, his movements made everyone nervous.

"Trash! Trash..." Wang Zhaoyuan was so angry that he pointed at all the rants and cursed, "How can the Zhou Jun navy break through the Qu Men? Where is the navy general? Has he been persuaded to surrender, and helped them to tug the boat to release it?"

A military commander said with grief and indignation: "Wang Jianjun, my navy commander commanded the above 22 people, and 18 people died in the battle, because everyone knows that Qu Men is a matter of safety in Dashu, and there is no death battle! Such casualties, Even if you lose the battle, you can't slander them like this!"

"Do you still know that Qumen is a matter of safety in Dashu?" Wang Zhaoyuan's face was blue and white. "Qumen is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are warships stationed on both sides of the strait day and night. How can you send Zhou army warships over? What kind of ship can pass the rapids? ?"

The military commander said: "The dead soldiers of the Zhou army did not care about their lives. In the middle of the night before, they walked barefoot in the rain on the fiber track... The slender trail made by the tracker on the stone wall sneaked on my water village and was wiped out by the army of my navy; In the early morning, another group came up and burned my water village, causing a large number of warships to be washed downstream by the river. Only a few ships of the Zhou Jun navy were towed upstream, and my reinforcement navy besieged them, but they were unable to attack for a long time and delayed the fighter... …"

At this moment, Gao Yanjun persuaded: "The matter is over, it's too late to regret... Besides, the sky is clear. Even if the water is not broken, Zhou Jun will come to the city. Supervisor Wang ordered all troops to shrink. Inside the city, the time has come to defend the city."

"If the Yangtze River and the 6th Road all fall into the hands of Zhou Jun, what is the use of our army holding on to the isolated city?" Wang Zhaoyuan kept walking back and forth, his face was no longer bloody, where is the bearing of the original command Ruo Ding?

Gao Yanjian said: "Now that the troops are gathered, Kuizhou's troops are no less than 20,000, and it is still very useful to place it in this key place. Kuizhou is a major town on the East Road of Dashu, and it can store no less than 300,000 tons of grain and grass. , We can eat for two years. There are city fortresses, enough food, and you can’t win a field battle. Why don’t you defend the city?"

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "If the fortifications can be maintained, Zhou Jun should be blocked in Wu Gorge now! How was Wu Gorge Fortress broken? Zhou Jun has explosives..."

After hearing the discussion, everyone was panicked. Everyone asked about the power and usage of the explosive, but no one could explain it clearly. Dao is only the gunpowder used by Taoists to refine alchemy. According to the records in ancient books, it is recorded that the alchemy made the roof collapsed and burned. It is probably that thing... But the battle of Huainan Shouzhou, the senior officials in Shu have heard about it, knowing that Things can blow up walls.

What's more, I tasted it once in the Wu Gorge Shu Army not long ago, and now I am convinced that the existence of this thing in the world can break through the fortifications.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Zhaoyuan asked Gao Yanjian coldly: "Gao Jieshuai still wants to defend the city?"

Gao Yanjun said: "In this world, one thing drops one thing, as long as we take precautions early... Besides, there is no other way but to defend the city."

Wang Zhaoyuan disapproved and said: "The Zhou army came from a long distance, and has been trekking on the Shu Road for nearly a month, and then came along the mountain road. He must be exhausted; and the Great Shu Army is waiting for work in Kuizhou City. The sharp army, taking advantage of the Zhou division’s unsteady footing and the horrible forces, defeated the weak army, and the outcome is unknown!"

"Jianjun Wang still wants to attack the Zhou army. Is there a chance of winning?" Gao Yanjian was shocked and hurriedly discouraged.

Wang Zhaoyuan said coldly: "If we follow Gao Jieshuai's meaning, we will be defeated if we are trapped in a lonely city! Seize the opportunity now to make a decisive battle, and there is still a chance. Everyone, the art of war is to die, whether to wait for death or fight Give it a go?"

At first, Gao Yanjian was good at persuading Wang Zhaoyuan. Seeing his decision, Gao Yanjian was also annoyed: "Wang Jianjun is going, you go, I can't afford to lose that person."

"The handsome man defended the city, and worked as a tortoise in the city, and watched my Wolong fight!" Wang Zhaoyuan said.

...A large number of scouts have been scattered on both sides, and Zhou Jun has already approached, and the movements of each other are clear at a glance.

"Wang Zhaoyuan is going out of the city for a decisive battle?" Guo Shao was very surprised when he heard the news, and he went to the scout he had seen in front to ask the Shu army in detail. At this time, Li Gu also arrived in the army and said: "The Shu army may think that our army has a chance to attack from a long distance."

At this time, the Zhou army was already advancing towards Kuizhou along the Yangtze River to the southwest. Some troops suggested that they should be stationed for two or three days before a decisive battle.

Guo Shao said: "Everyone knows that waiting for work has an advantage, but if you follow the rules rigidly, you may miss a fighter. In case Wang Zhaoyuan figured it out, you have to defend the city... It will be more difficult to attack the city, at least it will cost more. More people will die at the same time."

In order not to affect the confidence of the soldiers, he didn't mention the shortcomings of bombing the city with gunpowder... to keep the soldiers confident, which is more beneficial to the military spirit. But it’s actually not that easy to blow up the city. It depends on the soil quality and groundwater conditions in Kuizhou. Not all places can successfully bury gunpowder under the city wall; even if it is successfully blasted, the black_gunpowder has limited power and can only be exploded. A gap. As long as the defenders are properly prepared, they will not be able to conquer the city by blasting the gap...Even in the era of artillery, it is not easy to attack the city, and it is impossible to attack without gunpowder.

"Tomorrow morning without stopping, advance to Wang Zhaoyuan's Ministry, and then you can make a decisive battle!" Guo Shao said immediately.

The generals clasped their fists and responded: "Here."

"One hour later, the commanders and envoys were summoned to the Chinese army's big account overnight to discuss matters and deploy tomorrow's military affairs." Guo Shao said again, waved, "It's gone, you guys have dinner first."

Guo Shao didn't spend time specifically on eating. He took two wheat cakes and asked someone to serve a bowl of soup while reviewing the terrain around Kuizhou. He also ordered that all the scouts returning today be called to the Central Army's big account to speak... He ordered an hour later to discuss matters, just to prepare his own strategy first.

I did not expect that Wang Zhaoyuan would be eager to go out to the field beforehand, and because he had just arrived near Kuizhou, he was indeed a little unprepared. Fortunately, Kuizhou is the important place. When the army was still in Jingzhou, spies came here to inquire about intelligence, so I drew several pictures and were prepared for the general situation.

The route of Zhou Jun’s main force to Kuizhou is a bit more convoluted, but more flat and spacious. They came from the mountain road, crossed the Yingxi (Meixi River), and then went south along the beach of Yingxi, where they merged with the Yangtze River; then they turned and continued to attack Kuizhou along the north bank of the Yangtze River to the southwest. The terrain on the riverside is slightly flat and open; farther to the north, far from the Yangtze River, there are all mountains and rocks. Although the mountains are not too high, they are all mountains and only small roads.

Probably Guo Shao understands the terrain by reading the old newspapers before, but now he needs to understand more detailed conditions on the battlefield. Only through the dictation of the scout, there is no time to observe in person in advance.

"There is a village there?" Guo Shao took a sip of the soup, put down the wheat cake, and asked the scout, "How many houses and how many people are there?"

The scout frowned and recalled: "Ten...or only six or seven, with tiled houses and thatched houses, not many people. There is a spacious dirt road to the south."

Guo Shao raised the pen while writing and drawing, and asked, "Who has been to this village going west?"

Another person stepped forward and clasped his fist and said: "There is a low mountain that stretches to the north, high in the north and low in the south. The **** on the south is relatively gentle, except for a few pieces of wheat fields. Grass, relatively barren sandy land, and some single-family houses under the mountain. You can see the Kuizhou city tower when you climb up the ridge... By the way, I also ran into a farmer and I caught it and asked about it. He said that The mountain is called'Sanma Mountain'."

Guo Shao was very interested in this Sanma Mountain. He asked the other two people, and immediately muttered: "If I were Wang Zhaoyuan, I would choose the battlefield on this hillside, spacious and open, and occupy the high Favorable terrain."

The riverside terrain on the east side of Kuizhou is only a few miles wide and ten miles long, but Guo Shao drew several pictures and wrote a lot of news in his pamphlet. It is impossible for the scouts to write articles about what they saw and heard, but it is still clear to ask them to tell them what they have seen and heard.

In the barracks, the bonfires are gradually getting lighter, and the night is falling, and the sky is full of stars. But the day was not over yet, the Chinese army slammed into the drum, and in the sixth continuation, there were many soldiers coming. Everyone untied their sabers and placed them on the wooden stand at the entrance of the tent, and entered back and forth inside.

The tent was not very spacious. It was crowded with dozens of people and gradually became crowded.

There are a lot of lights hung on both sides, and the picture in front is hung up. Guo Shao quickly walked into the big account, and he heard Shi Yan impatiently: "Guo Du check, finally you can kill a game, let me play forward!"

Guo Shao said straightforwardly: "I have more important credit for you. The forward will let Yang Biao go."
