- The gunpowder barrel that was opened was not black slurry, but yellow mud. .
Jiang Wei and the generals suddenly realized that the gunpowder barrel contained not gunpowder at all, but worthless sand.
"Your Majesty, this" Jiang Wei was surprised and happy, and looked at Yan Liang fiercely, in disbelief.
Yan Liang sneered and said: "My gunpowder has been around for some years. Liu Bei's big-eared thief is not a fool. He knew that I had gunpowder, so how could he not take precautions? In today's battle, I am just testing it a little."
Test! ?
The generals were stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that they understood the emperor's method.
It turns out that Yan Liang had expected that Liu Bei would take countermeasures against gunpowder. He would not waste precious gunpowder easily. Today's attack was just for testing. He used sand as gunpowder to attack.
After a try, it turned out that Liu Bei had actually stolen the water dragon cannon and wanted to use the water cannon to crack the gunpowder conspiracy.
Fortunately, Yan Liang was prepared early, otherwise, the gunpowder worth thousands of gold would have been destroyed by the flood, and the loss would have been huge.
"It turns out that your Majesty had already expected that Liu Bei would be on guard. His Majesty's predictions are as good as God's. It's really beyond the reach of my ministers." Jiang Wei sighed in admiration with his hands raised.
The generals on the left and right also sighed in admiration, and they were all impressed by Yan Liang's information.
Yan Liang was as majestic as a mountain and calmly accepted the worship of all his ministers.
After marveling, Jiang Wei said worriedly: "The Han army has stolen our water dragon cannon and the tactics of gunpowder bombing the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to use again. Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Yan Liang glanced at Liangkou City, raised his whip and said: "I have plenty of time, why rush, the army should withdraw to the camp first."
After saying that, Yan Liang was also very nostalgic, turned around on his horse and looked at the camp leaving.
The Chu army, numbering 10,000, slowly retreated.
On the top of the city, when the Han troops saw the Chu troops retreating, they all cheered loudly, and their shouts of power shook the mountains and fields.
Xian Yufu became even more proud and said with a sneer: "The Yan thief finally got the idea and retreated. Send people to Wandu immediately to report the victory to His Majesty!"
On the same day, a messenger left the city and rushed to Wandu with the battle report of "Victory at Liangkou".
In Wandu City, Liu Bei was anxiously waiting for the news of the Battle of Liangkou. Xian Yufu's good news was like a shot in the arm, instantly sweeping away the gloom in Liu Bei's mind.
This battle is really crucial for Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei knew that Xian Yufu's so-called "great victory" included some attempt to claim credit, but no matter what, he was able to block the attack of 300,000 Chu troops with only 10,000 troops. This achievement was enough to boost his morale. morale.
Liu Bei quickly spread this so-called great victory throughout the army and spread it among the counties to show his majesty to the Goguryeo people.
Sure enough, the news of the "Victory at Liangkou" made those Goguryeo people who were ready to betray Liu Bei temporarily suspend their rebellion and start to wait and see.
After all, if they openly rebel now, if Liu Bei can successfully defeat the Chu army, he will definitely send troops to deal with these rebels.
Liu Bei occupied Gao Yanyou, a place of "great righteousness", and his Han army was very elite. The local officials in Goguryeo did not have the courage to challenge Liu Bei.
The Battle of Liangkou brought a brief calm to the originally turbulent Goguryeo.
Liu Bei was overjoyed, but Yan Liang and his soldiers, who had retreated, were not at all discouraged.
After returning to the camp, Yan Liang immediately summoned civil servants and generals to discuss a plan to break the city.
Before the war started, all the ministers thought that with gunpowder in hand, the battle against Goguryeo would be invincible and would end soon.
Today, after the First World War, everyone gave up their overly optimistic ideas and began to take this war seriously.
"Liangkou Mountain City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The enemy also has water dragon cannons that can defeat our gunpowder. In my opinion, this time we have to think of another strategy." Fa Zheng took the lead in saying.
The word "unexpected strategy" is easy to say but difficult to do.
After a discussion, everyone seemed to have no good plan.
Yan Liang was not in a hurry. He turned his gaze to Li Yan and asked, "Fang Zheng, what do you think?"
When Yan Liang asked, there seemed to be some kind of expectation in his eyes.
Li Yan understood Yan Liang's intention, pondered for a moment, and said with his hands: "I am willing to lead a suicide squad, climb the peak behind Liangkou from the north, and attack the enemy city from a high position. With this two-way attack, we will surely defeat the enemy city."
Li Yan stepped forward and presented this strategy, which made the generals present stunned.??They all lighted up.
Liangkou City was built on the back of a mountain. If the Chu army climbed to the peak, they could stab the Han army in the back. This was indeed a good plan.
Back then, Yan Liang also used this strategy when he was attacking Tiegangbi and surrendering Taishi Ci.
"This Liangkou Mountain is no better than Tiegangbi back then. The front of this mountain is a gentle slope, but the back is a wall with thousands of blades, almost vertical. Its climbing difficulty is ten times better than Tiegangbi back then. Even if you are good at mountain warfare I¡¯m afraid the Sichuan sergeant won¡¯t be able to climb up.¡±
Fa Zheng had lived in Shu for a long time during his youth and was quite proficient in mountain warfare. He thought Liangkou Mountain was difficult to climb, so one can imagine how difficult it would be.
All the ministers knew that Fazheng was by no means a scaremonger, and their original excitement quickly cooled down due to Fazheng's words.
Yan Liang said boldly: "It depends on man-made things. I believe that there is no mountain that cannot be climbed in this world. Even Xiaozhi thinks that Liangkou Mountain is impossible to climb. I am afraid that Xian Yufu also thinks so. Because of this, I want to kill He was surprised."
After saying that, Yan Liang turned his gaze to Li Yan and said solemnly: "Fang Zheng, I ask you again, do you have the courage? If you dare to ask for a fight, I dare to agree to it."
?????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone's eyes turned to Li Yan one after another. Although Fazheng didn't say anything, he shook his head secretly, as if to indicate to Li Yan that he didn't ask for hard work and took risks.
Li Yan was silent for a moment, then stood up and said with emotion: "I have followed Your Majesty for many years, and I feel ashamed that I have not done much for Your Majesty. This time, I am willing to risk my own life to perform this extraordinary service for Your Majesty."
Li Yan was generous and decisive. This time he was determined to conquer the seemingly insurmountable Liangkou Mountain.
"Okay!" Yan Liang suddenly stood up and said with a bold smile: "Since Fang Zheng is so courageous, I will give Fang Zheng this opportunity to become famous in the world. Whether he can capture Liangkou City will rest on my shoulders." ¡±
"I will go through fire and water to capture Liangkou City for Your Majesty." Li Yan looked resolute and took orders with pride.
Having made up his mind, Yan Liang asked Li Yanmi to select 500 elite men to cut the wall behind Liangshan Pass and climb up.
In order to cover up his true intentions, Yan Liang ordered several strong attacks on Liangkou City in the next two days to show the Chu army's determination to break the city head-on.
Xian Yufu relied on the strong danger of Liangkou City and used water dragon cannons to defend the Chu army's gunpowder, and stubbornly withstood several strong attacks by the Chu army.
¡¡
Three days later, late at night.
Yan Liang drove his horse out of the camp and took more than a thousand tiger guards to the forest. Under the moonlight, he bypassed Liangkou City and came to the back of the mountain city.
Soon, Yan Liang arrived at the foot of the mountain peak.
Looking up, you can see an almost vertical cliff, as if cut by a knife, standing tall, with no peak visible at a glance.
The moonlight shines on the cliff and even reflects the dim light. It can be seen that the cliff is not only vertical, but also very smooth.
Under the cliff, Li Yan and his five hundred daredevils have gathered.
"These brave soldiers were not wearing any armor. They only had a short knife on their waist, boots on their feet, ropes, axes, hooks and other tools. They seemed to be specially used for climbing.
"Your Majesty, all my climbing warriors are ready. Please give the order," Li Yan said with enthusiasm.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, rode his horse to the soldiers, and said solemnly: "You are all good men of Dachu. Go bravely, stand on the top of the mountain, and pee on the enemy's head hard for me."
Yan Liang's rough words of encouragement not only relaxed the nervous mood of the soldiers, but also inspired their confidence.
Without too many words, Li Yan led the five hundred soldiers and began to climb without hesitation.
Yan Liang was full of confidence, but Fazheng, who was following him, was a little worried.
Looking at Li Yan walking away, Fazheng couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this cliff is steeper than I imagined. It is really beyond human power to climb. I thought"
"There is no need to say anything filial piety. It's not too late to take a look at the situation before making a conclusion." Yan Liang interrupted Fazheng's persuasion, with a certain kind of confidence shining in his brows.
Fazheng didn¡¯t know how Yan Liang got such confidence that Li Yan and the others would be able to climb the steep cliff.
The emperor in front of him has always been bold and confident, and Fazheng knew that, but those surprising strategies in the past were still within the control of human strength, but now this almost vertical cliff seems to have been crossed People are capable, but why can the emperor be so confident?
Fazheng was worried in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything. He could only raise his head and look worriedly at Li Yan and his five hundred warriors., began this thrilling and life-threatening climb.
As he watched, the worry in Fazheng's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by indescribable surprise.
Fazheng was surprised to find that the five hundred warriors were climbing up the cliff slowly but smoothly like geckos.
¡° Moreover, their technique is very unique. Even with the help of a slightly protruding rock, they can easily support the weight of their bodies with their fingers and toes and continuously move upward.
"These people, how could they" Fazheng was excited and surprised at the same time. He didn't know how to describe his current mood.
He looked at Yan Liang anxiously, wanting to find the answer.
At this time, Yan Liangcai said lightly: "Actually, a few years ago, I had anticipated that the battle against Goguryeo might encounter such a situation, so from then on, I ordered Fang Zheng to secretly train a group of people who were good at rock climbing. I have prepared soldiers for emergencies, but I didn¡¯t expect that the preparations made a few years ago would actually come in handy today.¡±
Yan Liang explained the reason in an extremely calm tone.
This is why he turned his attention to Li Yan and was full of expectations for him when discussing matters in the tent.
After learning the truth, Fazheng was stunned. When he looked at Yan Liang again, his eyes were full of wonder and admiration, as if he were looking at a god.
