The strongest Marquis in history

Lin Yuze said, "Is this suggestion feasible?"

Xiao Qingzhi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There are solid rocks on both sides, so it's not easy to blast. I got the news before that Caoshan Pass is mostly rocky, so it's not easy to blast. Besides, you want to blast part of it, but if after the explosion, The road at the foot of Caoshan Pass is blocked by falling stones, how do we get there?"

"An explosion may block our road, making it difficult for us to travel."

Xiao Qingzhi sighed, "That's why I don't agree with the bombing plan."

Lin Yuze said: "The beheading plan won't work, and neither will the blasting. Once you bomb the sides of Caoshan Pass and forcefully kill them, there will be countless casualties. It will be difficult to break through the Caoshan Pass. Besides, the plan has not been implemented. Why? You know it won't work? Especially the beheading plan, at least compared to other plans, it is the most suitable right now."

There was some resentment in his words.

Considering this and that, but there is nothing, it is better to do it directly.

Xiao Qingzhi looked around at the few people and said, "What do you say about the current situation?"

Qin Changyuan said: "Simply, report to Your Majesty. We don't say that we have no plan, but we will implement the beheading plan first and go to raid the Goguryeo camp. If this plan fails, we will implement the storm plan and bomb the mountain with mortars. The army forcibly crossed Caoshan Pass. We will report the plan to His Majesty and see what His Majesty, Minister Zhuge and Minister Zhou have to say."

Xiao Qingzhi said: "We haven't even drawn up a plan. Doesn't it appear that we are incompetent and have no other way to find His Majesty at this time?"

Qin Changyuan said: "The situation at Caoshankou is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, and it is normal to ask. After all, we lack a suitable strategy at the moment."

Lin Yuze thought for a while, and agreed: "Okay, if you want to find His Majesty, you can find His Majesty."

He has thoughts in his heart.

If after looking for His Majesty, His Majesty approves his suggestion and decides to implement his strategy, wouldn't it be better.

Nie Feng also nodded in agreement.

The group of people reached an agreement, and Xiao Qingzhi finally agreed, and the group began to go to the location where Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng, and Zhou Zishan were located.

The group of four came to the place where Wang Qi was. Xiao Qingzhi directly explained the situation they had discussed. Finally, Nie Feng said: "Your Majesty, we definitely have this plan. What do you think of the general plan?"

Wang Qi smiled when he heard it, and said, "Minister Zhuge, Minister Zhou, what do you think?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuge Feng said slowly: "Whether it is a beheading plan or a strong attack strategy, the feasibility is not high. The reason is very simple. To implement the beheading plan, you must first understand the situation in Goguryeo."

"Even if there are people in the army who are familiar with the language of Goguryeo, it may not be easy to find them if they want to behead them. The most important thing is that a few people go to the enemy's base camp, and the other party has guns and ammunition. Once the situation is leaked, it is the easiest Besieged."

"As for the second point, bombard the mountain. Because there are bunkers on the mountain, even if it is a large-scale bombing, it is certain that people will be killed. However, the bombing may not be accurate. It is not easy to force through Caoshan Pass."

"The situation at Caoshan Pass is that there are undulating mountains on both sides. In particular, the passage is very steep as if it was cut out. As for entering from the distant mountains and forests on both sides, entering the forest is the easiest way to be ambushed. So It is not easy to attack Caoshan Pass, this is a hard stubble. At least compared to Datong River, it is more difficult to deal with."

Zhuge Feng rejected two suggestions.

Neither is a good solution.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The current situation is hindered, let's adjust our strategy. The task of attacking Caoshan Pass is entrusted to Xiao Qingzhi. Xiao Qingzhi keeps bombarding the mountain, suppressing Jin Zaishan's firepower, and attracting Jin Zaishan's attention."

"As for Nie Feng, you take Gu Tonghu, Lin Yuze and others, and lead more than 1 troops, bypass the area of ​​Caoshan Pass for me, penetrate behind Caoshan Pass, and fight in the direction of Yongding City."

"If you can stand between Yongding City and Caoshan Pass and cut off Jin Zaishan's supplies at Caoshan Pass, Jin Zaishan will naturally become a lone army and cannot fight for a long time."

"We were on the Datong River before, so we couldn't implement interspersed tactics, but now the roads are different, and all battles are on land. Although interspersed will make a detour, for us, it is a great cost-effective."

"The main key this time is the insertion. As long as the insertion is successful, it will be inserted into the back of Caoshan Pass like a nail, and all problems will be solved naturally."

"Of course, it would be the best if we can capture Yongding City. It's just that Yongding City is a fortified city, and it's not easy to go south. Whether to attack Yongding City or not is up to you to decide."

"Even if you can't take down Yongding City, as long as you block the road from Yongding City to Caoshankou and cut off the communication between Caoshankou and Yongdingcheng, it will still be effective."

"For Yongding City, if you want to rush to the rescue of Caoshan Pass, you must break through your defense line. This can be regarded as leading the snake out of the hole and letting them come out of the turtle shell to fight."

Wang Qi talked eloquently, and said: "This is just a general plan. How to attack Yongding City, how to cut off the connection between Caoshankou and Yongding City, you can decide for yourself after you reach the front line."

Qin Changyuan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty's strategy really hits the nail on the head. Caoshan Pass is a hard stubble, so there's no need to die. As long as the penetration is successful, Jin Zaishan will panic at that time, and he will naturally withdraw. It's easy. Of course, it would be even better if we can win Yongding City, and the whole situation will change at once."

Nie Feng immediately said: "I take orders, and I will make arrangements immediately."

"Go!"

Wang Qi waved his hand.

When it came to this battle, Wang Qi also considered it along the way.

Previously on the front line of the Datong River, it was a test for Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng.It's just that now at Caoshankou, he has fully considered, so he directly made arrangements.

As for the detour that would delay time, he now has a foothold and doesn't need to think about time.

As long as it can win, anything can be done.

Nie Feng, Xiao Qingzhi and the others retreated to arrange the next thing.

Zhou Zishan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, as long as we break through the Caoshan Pass, the second news will reach Pyongyang. Ma Fu and others will have a basis for action. Now they only cross the Datong River. Fear. But there is still hope in these people's hearts. Only by taking Caoshan Pass, their only remaining hope will be completely dashed."

Wang Qi said: "For the Goguryeo people, the Caoshan Pass is a very important line of defense. If we are blocked at the Caoshan Pass, the Goguryeo people will think that our victory at the Datong River was just an accidental victory. Breaking the Caoshan Pass, Goguryeo people's inner persistence will be completely broken, and they will truly panic. In short, we are not in a hurry, but Goguryeo will become more nervous."

Zhou Zishan nodded, looking very relaxed.

It is not difficult to destroy Goguryeo.

On the other side, after Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng returned to the front line, they made some adjustments. In the end, Nie Feng took Gu Tonghu, Lin Yuze and others, and led [-] soldiers. They took a detour and left. Caoshan Pass, and then interspersed to the direction of Yongding City in the south.

Xiao Qingzhi's army continued on their way.

In less than an hour for the rest of the journey, the army had already approached Caoshan Pass.

After the troops were stationed, Xiao Qingzhi never directly attacked them. Instead, he deployed mortars and started bombing from a distance, directly bombing the Goguryeo soldiers on the mountain.

The sound of rumbling cannons resounded through the sky and the earth.

After continuous shells washed the ground, the soil rolled and sand and stones fell from the top of the mountain, but the Goguryeo soldiers on the mountain remained.This situation is definitely not easy to see with the naked eye.

Relying on the binoculars, looking from a distance, I can still clearly see the situation on the mountain. Groups of Goguryeo soldiers emerged again, all of them still stationed on the mountain.

It is not easy for Qi's army to pass through Caoshan Pass.

Xiao Qingzhi did not order a forced breakthrough. During the day, he used shells to wash the ground and bombed, and when night fell, he stopped attacking temporarily. After all, at the moment, he did not need to rush to attack. He only needed to wait for Nie Feng to penetrate successfully before attacking.

Chapter 886

On the south line of Caoshankou, the Koguryo military camp.

This is where Kim camped on Mount Jae-san.

In the barracks, the large tent of the Chinese army.

At this moment, Jin Zaishan was looking through the news reported from below. After all, during the bombing during the day, the soldiers ambushing on Caoshan Pass still suffered certain casualties. Jin Zaishan was looking through the situation of these casualties.

After Jin Zaishan read it, he also handed the casualty data during the day to military adviser Jiang Zaidao, and said, "Military adviser, what do you think of the situation this time?"

Jiang Zaidao looked it over and said: "The army of Qi State is only bombarding for the time being, and has not really attacked. From this point of view, the other side is still probing. It is estimated that they will attack by force in the near future. The army of Qi State has always It is impossible to retreat in the face of difficulties, but to face the difficulties, and you will definitely kill them."

Jin Zaishan also nodded.

He agrees with Jiang Zaidao's analysis that Qi's army is all elite and they dare to fight.

No, just give up halfway.

Jin Zaishan took a deep breath and said, "For us right now, it doesn't really make much sense to think about other things. Now we only need to think about guarding. Guard the army of Qi State on the northern line of Caoshankou, and even Yu, if we can hold on for two or three months, when the cold winter comes, Qi’s logistics supplies will be stretched, and the army can’t withstand the severe cold, that’s our chance. So right now, don’t care about anything else, just stick to it.”

Jiang Zaidao also echoed: "The general is wise!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Zaidao was a little worried: "I don't know what the king will do when the news of the fall of the Datong River reaches Pyongyang, and whether he will punish the general."

"Will not!"

Jin Zaishan said to himself: "This general is still confident. Besides, the teacher is also serving in the court. With the teacher around, and the prime minister is also a sensible person, there will be no problems."

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier entered and reported: "General, there is a letter from the general."

"Bring it up."

Jin Zaishan nodded.

The soldier took out the letter and handed it to Kim Jae-san.

Jin Zaishan took the letter, and quickly browsed it. After he finished reading the letter, he frowned, his face was a little dignified, and he was even a little worried.

When Jiang Zaidao saw the situation, he realized that something was wrong.

He knows Jin Zaishan very well.

If it was really good news, Jin Zaishan would not have such an expression.

Jiang Zaidao hurriedly said: "General, did something happen again? Or, the king of the court wants to reprimand, so the general sent someone to send a letter in advance."

Jin Zaishan shook his head and said, "It's not enough to reprimand us. Your Majesty trusts us in guarding the front line. The General asked me to go all out at Caoshan Pass, so don't feel burdened."

Jiang Zaidao was puzzled immediately, and said: "Then what is the reason? I see you look worried."

Jin Zaishan said: "The reason why I am like this is because the general also said that the king sent His Highness the Crown Prince to the front line to watch the battle and study in order to train His Royal Highness. At the same time, the Crown Prince also came to reward the army on behalf of the King."

Jiang Zaidao was even more puzzled and said: "This is a good thing. The crown prince came to reward the army on behalf of the king, which means that the king trusts the general and values ​​the soldiers. Everyone in the army will be grateful to the king and will go to death. fighting."

Jin Zaishan said: "Your Majesty has good intentions, but the question is, will the Crown Prince be controlled?"

Jiang Zaidao stroked his beard and said, "I don't know much about His Highness the Crown Prince. I just know that His Highness the Crown Prince prefers to talk and talk. There is nothing wrong with other aspects."

Jin Zaishan said: "In the letter of the general, it has been said that the prince is not experienced in the world and does not understand the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, when we resist, His Royal Highness may interfere in the war and let us take the initiative to meet it. In a word, the prince It just doesn’t have the ability to actually fight, but it may interfere with the situation, which is the difficulty we may face.”

Jiang Zaidao's expression gradually became serious.

This is indeed the problem.

The army at Caoshan Pass is under the command of Jin Zaishan. If there are more princes, Park Yuanqi, and if Park Yuanqi wants to interfere wantonly, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jiang Zaidao said with a wry smile: "General, no matter what, it can only be continued. After all, it is a good thing for us that the prince comes to reward the army."

Jin Zaishan nodded and said, "Let's take one step at a time. If the prince really interferes with military affairs, I don't mind fighting against the prince, or even letting the soldiers control him. There is no room for loss in this battle. If we lose the front line of the Datong River, we still have Caoshankou And Yongding City. But once Caoshan Pass is lost, we will only have Yongding City left. This is quite dangerous for us.”

Jiang Zaidao nodded and said, "This is also the reason."

Jin Zaishan got up and said: "Military division, you should hurry up. I'm going to make an inspection tour to see the injuries of the wounded soldiers. Next, we must stabilize the morale of the soldiers so that we can persist for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Jin Zaishan went straight out of the camp. He went to the place where the wounded soldiers gathered and rested, and asked one by one to understand the situation.

This is Kim Jae-san's daily life.

Only in this way can the morale of the army be stabilized, and each soldier can work hard for it.

If you treat these soldiers badly on weekdays, and when it comes to the critical moment, the soldiers need to fight, without the preferential treatment in the weekdays, it is impossible to have the fearlessness on the battlefield.

Jin Zaishan visited one by one, and when he returned to the camp, it was already early morning.

In the camp, there was silence.

The weather in late September is a bit cooler at night.

Jin Zaishan sat in his tent, stared blankly for a while, then recovered, looked at the military camp's supplies for a while, and finally rested.

In the early morning of the next day, Jin Zaishan already went to inspect the hillsides on both sides of Caoshan Pass early.

Give encouragement to the guarding soldiers.

After walking around for a while, he returned to the camp and began to train soldiers on a daily basis.

After Jin Zaishan had lunch, he rested in the tent for a while. He was still asleep. Suddenly, a soldier rushed in and reported: "General, His Royal Highness has arrived."

Jin Zaishan was always very awake. When he heard what the soldiers said, he stood up and put on his armor, then hurried out of the Chinese army tent. At the gate of the camp, he saw Pu Yuanqi who had just arrived.

Jin Zaishan saluted and said: "The last general, Jin Zaishan, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Pu Yuanqi looked a little indifferent, and said lightly: "Send the order and call all the soldiers to gather. The prince wants to give a lecture."

"Yes!"

Jin Zaishan responded directly.

He noticed Park Yuanqi's expression, and felt a little unhappy, because it seemed that Park Yuanqi was here to find fault.At the moment, he really has to face the trouble brought by Park Yuanqi.

A group of people went to the school field in the camp, and Pu Yuanqi walked in the front, with his head held high, looking in a hurry.

Li Zhien followed closely behind.

He noticed Jin Zaishan, so he took two quick steps, stepped forward to follow Jin Zaishan, lowered his voice, and said lightly: "General Jin, His Royal Highness looks like this because of the failure of the Datong River. I'm worried, that's why I'm like this. Besides, everyone knows that the defeat in Datongjiang on the front line has nothing to do with General Jin, so please don't worry about it."

Jin Zaishan nodded.

Furthermore, he did fail in the Datong River battle, so there is nothing much to say.

A group of people went to the military camp and arrived at the school in a short time, and all the other soldiers also lined up neatly.
