Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 502 Southwest's First Titan

   Just when the two top generals in the world met, Li Xin had already headed northward, following the control of the Great Jin court, bypassing Hanzhong, and preparing to move towards the ridge road.

   On this way, he walked very carefully.

   In fact, it is impossible for an army of more than 10,000 people to completely hide its deeds. When tens of thousands of people march in a mighty army, it is impossible to completely hide their deeds.

   Even if Li Xin carefully cleaned up the scouts along the way, the limit he could do was to try to obscure his whereabouts as much as possible, so that the enemy would not know exactly where he went.

   But the general scope of activities, the southwest will have some concepts.

   Therefore, while paying attention to clearing his tail, Li Xin sometimes deliberately made some detours to interfere with the judgment of the enemy.

   Originally, when they cleaned up the scouts, the marching speed would have to be much slower, and if they deliberately made some detours, the speed would be even slower. They left Jingzhou for half a month, and only walked four or five hundred miles.

  Li Xin was not in a hurry.

However, Ye Mao, the young master who was following him, was in a hurry. After camping one day, the young master walked to Li Xin's handsome tent and saw Li Xin who was looking at the map of southern Xinjiang with Zhao Jia. , Young Master was a little angry, took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "General Li!"

Li Xin raised his head and glanced at Ye Mao, then put his eyes on the map again, and finally pointed to a part of the map, and said to Zhao Jia in a hurry: "Brother You'an, you can go to this place again. Let someone collect some specific topographical maps and try to figure out how these mountain roads enter the mountain."

   When Deng Ai took this ancient road, many people were killed and injured. Although his main force basically passed smoothly, Li Xin's ability to lead troops was still worse than Deng Ai's. He must be fully prepared.

   After listening to Li Xin's words, Zhao Jia nodded and whispered, "This subordinate will do it now."

   After saying that, he raised his head and glanced at the angry young master Ye Mao, and then said with a smile: "The young master came a little earlier than the Hou Ye expected."

   said, he walked out of Li Xin's handsome tent.

  After Zhao Jia left, there were no outsiders in the handsome tent. Ye Mao was impatient and clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Li, my father is going to fight Hanzhong in two days!"

  Li Xin didn't lift his eyelids, and said lightly: "What you can know, I, the general, naturally knew it long ago. The fight against Hanzhong was something that Brother Ye and I decided early on. What's there to panic about?"

   "But father is going to fight hard in Hanzhong, so we can't do nothing at all!"

  Ye Mao first glanced at Li Xin, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I paid attention to the direction of our march during this time. We are heading northwest, and we are getting farther and farther from the southern border!"

   Most of the people in this era can't read maps, and many people can't even recognize the direction, but Ye Mao was born as a general, so he naturally knows the most basic things.

  Li Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly, "With Senior Brother Ye's strength, it is not difficult to take Hanzhong. What should we do and what are you in a hurry?"

After getting along for a while, Li Xin has gradually figured out Ye Mao's temper. This young man is impatient and will do whatever he thinks of. He doesn't know how to write the words "deliberately", but he still has the ability. Yes, let him do ordinary things, and he can do it beautifully.

   In short, there are generals but no handsome ones.

   This is also the reason why both the father and son of the Ye family are very worried about him.

The young master is still a little afraid of Li Xin, not because of how powerful Li Xin is, but because Li Xin has a good relationship with his father and grandfather. As long as a light report is made, the young master will go home and be beaten. .

   After listening to Li Xin's words, he first glanced at the Marquis of Jing'an, and then said with a wry smile, "Uncle Master always wants to tell me, where are we going?"

   "Your father asked you to listen to me."

   Li Xin's face was stern, he didn't answer the question of the young master, but asked, "I asked you to clean up the tail behind you, how are you doing?"

   Young Master scratched his head, a little helpless.

   "Recently, there are not many tails behind. A battalion of cavalry can catch seven or eight people after patrolling behind them for a day. It's not interesting. I leave it to my subordinates to do it."

   "Then just stay honest."

  Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

   "As soon as the battle of Hanzhong starts, we will speed up our actions."

  …

It's a very simple reason, now the southwest side is staring at Li Xin's branch. For more than half a month, Li Xin can cut off a lot of small tails behind him every day, so that he has to deliberately detour. Interfere with the sight of the Pingnan Army.

   But if the battle of Hanzhong happens together, the Pingnan Army's line of sight will inevitably be on Hanzhong. At that time, Li Xin will start to speed up and enter the vicinity of Yinping as soon as possible.

   At this time, the Hanzhong War had begun.

  Because Ye Ming's troops had nearly 100,000 people, they had already arrived at the foot of Hanzhong City.

  Hanzhong is the gateway to the southwest. Only by opening this gateway can we truly enter the southwest, so this is a war that has to be fought.

According to the rules, Master Wang has to read out the edict. Now Ye Ming's department is the forbidden army near the capital, and the one who is serious is the Master Wang who represents justice. Therefore, Ye Ming first asked someone to read it out in front of the battle. The imperial edict denounced Hanzhong's treasonous behavior and demanded that Hanzhong general Meng Qi and Hanzhong prefect Chen Sheng open the city gate to surrender.

   Naturally, no one paid any attention to him.

  So, on the third day when Ye Ming's army arrived in Hanzhong, the general who had guarded Jimen Pass for more than ten years finally waved his hand fiercely and announced the siege of the city.

It is naturally impossible to read the edict for two days. In fact, in the past two days, Ye Ming's department has been intensively building siege equipment, engineering vehicles, hammers, etc., all of which have been considered elite by the Imperial Army. made.

  Siege, in fact, has no technical content. Generally, there are three situations.

The first is to force the attack and start the siege directly. In this case, it is purely using human life to fill up, using human life to consume the materials and equipment of the defending side of the city, and wait until the enemy runs out of ammunition and food, or if we really have that kind of thing. The fierce general brother who ascends first will be able to break through the enemy city.

  If you don't want to use this stupid method, then it is better to besiege the city. This method is to use materials to consume the enemy. Usually, it only takes a year and a half to run out of food in the city, and most of them will surrender the city.

  The third type is to fight around the point.

   But General Ye simply chose the first one. In any case, the momentum of this first battle must be fought.

  The siege method is very simple. The four walls are attacked at the same time, with 2,000 people on each side, and then choose one of the walls to focus on breaking through, and hit the city hammer with a catapult to start a fierce siege.

  According to Ye Ming's calculations, although a lot of people will die in this fight, Hanzhong should be taken down within a month or two.

   The first group of people rushed under the city gate first, and some people were already preparing to hit the city gate with their ramming hammers.

Just at this time…

  The city gate opened by itself!

  Led by the southwestern warrior Li Yan, thousands of people poured out from each of the four gates and rushed into the formation of Ye Ming.

  Li Yan rode on a Daqing horse with an iron lance in his hand. He took the lead and rushed into the forbidden army.

   He swept across the horse, and with just one blow, two or three soldiers of the Imperial Army were broken by his smashing bones and tendons.

   The southwestern titan raised the iron lance in his hand high and roared.

   "Brothers, the pseudo-emperor usurped the country and killed these rebels, you and I are both heroes of the dragon!"

"kill!"
