The mountain roads in Hanzhong are very difficult to walk, so Li Dingguo specially hired local hunters as guides. Even if such a large army was still very difficult to advance.

It is said that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky, but the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong is not easy to walk.

Li Dingguo was mentally prepared for this. As a genuine Shaanxi native, Li Dingguo traveled a lot between the two places.

However, as the commander-in-chief, this is the first time that he attacked Guanzhong through Hanzhong.

It was fine at the beginning, but the road was difficult to walk.

But as he walked, Li Dingguo found that there were many forts stuck on this rugged mountain path.

The fortress was not big, and it could accommodate up to a hundred people at most, but it was not easy for the Ming army to take it down.

Especially when he reached a canyon, Li Dingguo was completely in trouble.

Connecting the canyon is a wooden suspension bridge. The width of the suspension bridge is not wide, and at most it can allow a few people to move side by side.

There is a fortress opposite the bridge. As long as the Qing army blocks the exit tightly, it will be difficult for the Ming army to break through the blockade.

It is most appropriate to describe it as one man as the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open up.

But no matter how difficult it is, the Ming army can pass. Because according to hunters leading the way, although there are mountain trails that can be passed, it is impossible to march on a large scale. It is impossible to transport food, grass and supplies through that trail.

This suspension bridge was the only choice for the Ming army. The Ming army had to advance even if it was advanced, and even if it did not advance even if it was not.

Li Dingguo immediately discussed the specific plan with his subordinates.

Bai Wenxuan suggested using artillery bombardment. This plan was directly ruled out by Li Dingguo.

First of all, although the Ming army had artillery, it was very precious. The lead bullets were even less than one.

Wasting in such a place is not worth it.

Secondly, artillery bombardment can easily injure the suspension bridge.

The suspension bridge may collapse directly if you shoot down. This is not what Li Dingguo wants to see.

Then they forced the Qing army to get angry, so they could cut off the rope and destroy the suspension bridge.

In this way, the Ming army's efforts were in vain.

Therefore, the Ming army must not attack forcefully, at least not until they are absolutely sure.

After listening to the opinions of several generals, Li Dingguo was not very satisfied.

He shook his head and said, "Can the troops be divided into two groups? Some of them take a small path to the rear, and some of them are on the front. In this way, when we touch the army behind, we can attack the suspension bridge from both sides."

Li Dingguo's plan illuminated the generals.

He is worthy of being His Highness King of Jin, and his strategy is really different from that of ordinary people.

The Qing army thought they wanted to use brute force, but they used skill.

It was so pleasant that he walked to the Qing army and stabbed him without knowing it.

Seeing that the generals agreed, Li Dingguo nodded with satisfaction.

"Since that's the case, who would like to lead the troops?"

He glanced at the generals and saw that everyone looked at their noses and noses, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Knowing that this was a chore, everyone gave in. Could it be that they could only win the win-win situation?

"King Gong Chang, why don't you work hard?"

Seeing that no one responded, Li Dingguo had to directly assign him.

Bai Wenxuan was clicked but was shocked.

To be honest, his performance in recent years is not very good, but at least he has not been able to cross the line.

At least, it should be a bonus in Li Dingguo's heart, right?

Forget it, it is always a good thing for Li Dingguo to think of him.

"The last general takes the order."

At this time, don’t talk nonsense. The more you explain, the more you are, the more disgusted the superiors will be.

On the contrary, it is easy to add points if you are straightforward.

As expected, Li Dingguo nodded slightly and said, "Okay, King Gongchang will lead a thousand troops to the rear of the enemy to help me capture this bridge in one fell swoop."

A thousand people seem to be not many, but it is enough for an army that surrounds the path.

You should know that the Qing army in the fortress had at most several hundred people.

If a few people fight, if Bai Wenxuan can't win, they don't have to lead troops to fight, just go home and farm.

...

...

"Mom, so many people have come to Ming Thief."

Zhao Wuwei cursed in his mouth, obviously very annoyed.

There were only two hundred people in the fortress, and the Ming army opposite the bridge was so dark that there were tens of thousands of people at first sight.

If the Ming army crossed the bridge, let alone fighting, they could drown even if they spit out.

Zhao Wuwei even had the idea of ​​cutting the suspension bridge from the beginning.

It was because his subordinates tried their best to dissuade him, and Zhao Wuwei gave up this idea.

But he was still ready at any time. Once there was a sign that the Ming army would forcibly attack the suspension bridge, the Qing army would cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge.

"General Zhao, should we ask for help?"

Sun Mang raised his eyebrows and suggested: "It is not a solution for both sides to be stalemate like this."

Zhao Wuwei walked a few steps with his hands on his back and said in a deep voice: "Well, that's true. It's not a wise move to shake a big tree no matter how you look at it. Let's do this, third brother, you can take someone to work hard."

Sun Mang was overjoyed when he heard this.

He actually said this to induce Zhao Wuwei to let him go.

I am worried all day long, so where can I get the nourishment of going to Guanzhong to bring reinforcements?

At this moment, Sun Mang was as heartbroken as an arrow, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

"The last one will receive orders!"

Sun Mang clasped his fists and led his orders.

...

...

This mountain road is really hard to walk.

Bai Wenxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in his heart.

The guide is still very responsible and always leads the way in front. From time to time, he will remind Ming Jun to pay attention to his feet.

At first, it was fine, but after entering the bushes, many soldiers were scraped and bleeding from sharp branches.

Bai Wenxuan asked tentatively: "I wonder how long will it take to go?"

The guide stopped and pointed to Shanbao not far away and said, "Prince, please look, you can climb over this mountain."

Bai Wenxuan looked at it with a slight squint.

"Is it really close?"

Bai Wenxuan has rich experience in commanding troops, and he knows the principle of running a horse to death on the mountain.

Although it seems that the mountains are very close, it is not easy to truly get closer.

"It should be almost the same for half a day. The worst thing is that I can turn over before dark."

The hunter said with confidence.

He often walks this road and often hunts many rare preys.

"Okay, everyone will work harder and try to arrive before dark."

The Ming army, with nearly a thousand people, started moving again and walked deeper along the bushes.

Not long after leaving, a sudden movement came from the forest.

Bai Wenxuan was alert and took an arrow and aimed in the distance.

Without any warning, he shot an arrow directly.

The arrow broke through the air and shot on a sika deer with a whoosh.

The sika deer let out a whine, and then it twitched instinctively and struggled.

"It turned out to be a deer."

Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the Lu Ming.

He thought it was a scout or ambush of the Qing army.

Their partial army originally appeared behind the Qing army in order to unexpectedly appear, and the movements must not be understood in advance by the Qing army.
