Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 754
The vanguard of Zhu Weijun's Shenjian Battalion entered the western mountainous area of ​​Mengshan, and soon discovered the traces of Zang Batai's bandit soldiers in the mountain.

Bao Long and Chen Ying, who were hunters, used their experience to discover some possible ambushes in advance. Therefore, after sending out scouts to investigate, the Zang Batai mountain bandits who were ambushing in the mountains showed their traces.

It's just that these Taishan bandit soldiers ambush on the cliffs and slopes of the mountain, so at this time they simply turned from darkness to light in the mountain and showed their banners, but they didn't intend to withdraw their troops voluntarily if they were detected.

As the vanguard, Bao Long and Chen Ying led troops to try to attack a slope valley. Although they lost some troops and succeeded in attacking, the Taishan bandit soldiers who were originally stationed here relied on their familiarity with the location. They fled at the last moment.

It can be said that Zhu Weijun lost no less than two or three hundred casualties, but he didn't lose much to the Taishan bandits. In the end, they just captured an ordinary valley next to the official road in the mountain.

After all, Bao Long and Chen Ying's vanguard army only had 3000 people, and they were reluctant to waste their strength over and over again, so after they sent the news back to Tai Shici, they only searched for a place to camp here first, and waited. With the arrival of Tai Shici's army.

About a day later, Tai Shici led the main force of the Shenjian Battalion to the mountainous area here. After listening to Bao Long and Chen Ying's reports in detail, Tai Shici had no other choice but to regard the mountainous area here as a It was a Zang Ba army's blocking defense line, and it was killed bit by bit.

Of course, although Zang Ba sent four or five thousand Taishan bandit soldiers to ambush here, he did not dare to confront Zhu Weijun led by Tai Shici head-on.

Originally, Zang Ba wanted to take advantage of the location in the mountainous area to sneak attack and ambush, and then adapt to the situation so that the three coalition forces can take advantage of the situation to counterattack. If everything goes well, they might be able to defeat Zhu Weijun led by Tai Shici here.

But I didn't expect Zang Ba's ambush soldiers hiding in these mountains to be discovered by Zhu Weijun's vanguard before they could do anything, so this ambush strategy would naturally be useless.

As a result, the ambush here has become a few dangerous places where the Taishan bandits are looking for official paths, and they are confronted head-on with their defenses.

However, although Zang Ba's Taishan bandits are familiar with the mountainous terrain here, it is a pity that the quality of the soldiers is really poor. Facing Zhu Weijun, they almost formed a set of attack methods like a process. They were soon defeated and repulsed.

In this way, it can also lay a safe foundation for Zhu Weijun's logistics transportation in the future, and Zang Ba's Mount Tai bandits will no longer have the opportunity to ambush here to cut off Zhu Weijun's food road.

So Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion was delayed for a day or two in the western mountainous area of ​​Mengshan Mountain, and passed through without any danger.

Going forward is the small town of Tuqiuju. This Tuqiuju is actually a small town converted from a family private city. The overall area is not very large, and the city walls are not so high. If you say it is a city, Rather, it is a relatively large garrison fort.

It's just that Tuqiuju happened to be located next to the Northwest Official Road of Mengshan Mountain, so it became a city that affected Zhu Weijun's continued attack on Liangfu County.

If Tu Qiuju was ignored, the enemy troops stationed inside could send troops to harass Zhu Weijun's flanks and the grain and grass transportation in the rear at any time. Therefore, only by pulling out this side first can they continue to attack Liangfu County safely.

However, Tuqiuju is only five or six miles away from Liangfu County. Now the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei have directly built a connecting camp on this line, and they can send troops outside the city of Tuqiuju at any time. Setting up the formation, it seems that the battlefield where the three-party coalition forces face Zhu Weijun is also placed before Tu Qiuju.

Such a military arrangement made Zhu Weijun's Shenjian Battalion led by Tai Shici only to find a place to camp in the western mountainous area of ​​Mengshan, but it gave Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei a great chance to find a mountain road in Mengshan to attack Zhu Weijun. camp.

Now Liu Bei's army is stationed in the town of Tuqiuju, with a strength of about [-] to [-] troops, just enough to accommodate it, while Zang Ba's Taishan bandit army is stationed in Liangfu County, with a strength of nearly [-].

As for the [-] Qingzhou Yuan Shao troops led by Yuan Tan, they were the largest in number, so they found a slope between the two large and small cities and set up camp.

As a result, after Tai Shici discovered the military deployment of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei's coalition forces here, he had no choice but to find a place to camp in the western mountainous area of ​​Mengshan.

However, Xu Shu reminded the enemy of the possibility of using mountain roads to attack and rob the camp, so Tai Shici arranged the camp in a plum blossom shape.

In this way, the food and materials of the main army can be hidden in the core of the camp, and five sub-camps will be set up around the inner camp, with two or three thousand soldiers stationed respectively. The soldiers will be chaotic, and the whole army will not be thrown into chaos due to the robbery of the camp.

After Zhu Weijun gained a firm foothold, Tai Shici let the army rest for a day, and then led the troops out of Mengshan to officially start the attack on the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei.

Of course, the next battle can only come step by step.

According to Tai Shici's idea, the city of Tuqiuju should be destroyed first, and then the three coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei should be forced into Liangfu County, so that after Huang Zhong's army arrived, they could attack Liang Fu left and right. County, wiped out the enemy here in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Tai Shici directly targeted Tu Qiuju when he sent out troops this day.

However, the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei did not really let Liu Bei face Zhu Weijun here alone. Therefore, after finding out that Zhu Weijun was attacking, in addition to Liu Beijun who was originally stationed in Tuqiu City, Yuan Tan and Zang Ba also led When the soldiers arrived outside the city of Tu Qiuju, they lined up to meet them.

However, there is still a clear gap between the Yuan Tan and Zang Ba armies, and they have not really merged together, but it seems that Yuan Tan's Qingzhou Yuan Shao army is the main force.

As the army led by Tai Shici stopped in formation about three miles away from Tuqiuju, the armies of both sides formed a confrontation right in front of the city of Tuqiuju.

Now it is hard to say which side is the attacking side. Although Zhu Weijun led by Tai Shici took the initiative to attack Taishan County, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shaojun from Qingzhou also came to attack Xuzhou, so both sides seem to have brought a few desire to attack.

Because Tai Shici had attacked all the way before, there was nothing nonsense to talk about facing the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei at this moment, and there was no need to play single-handed battles with generals.

Tai Shici knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's account had undeserved courage, and on his side, except for himself, other people went up to deliver food to others, so it's better to directly compare the combat effectiveness of whose army is stronger. Be strong.

So after Tai Shici issued the order to attack, a group of soldiers and horses were conveniently separated from the army formation set up by Zhu Weijun's Shenjian Battalion, and charged forward...
