Chapter 347

Tongguan and Linzhiyuan

Linzhiyuan was a high loess slope south of Tongguan. Hantongguan and Suitongguan were built on Linzhiyuan.

Later, as the Yellow River shoal came out of the water, pedestrians could pass directly by the Yellow River without having to detour around Linzhiyuan, so this place was abandoned.

In fact, it can't be regarded as completely abandoned. There used to be a 12-year-old beacon tower next to the forbidden ditch for early warning and observation of the enemy's situation.
Isn't Tongguan occupied by the Liao army now? Jingzhao Mansion (Xi'an) to the west of Tongguan and Henan Mansion (Luoyang) to the east are all in the hands of the Liao army, so the Liao army naturally relaxed their vigilance and did not go to Linzhiyuan. Next to the Forbidden Ditch Garrison.

All the Liao troops hid in Tongguan to eat and drink, but they didn't notice at all that a group of young men were watching them on the Linzhi Plain about three miles away.

Chen Buer put down the binoculars and spat out the grass roots in his mouth.

At this time, the thin man and Huang Yi also ran over:
"Master, I have observed clearly that there are about [-] defenders in Tongguan City, most of whom are transport troops and grain transporters. The grain and grass in the city are piled up like a mountain. It should be a transfer station for their logistics supplies."

Chen Buer chuckled lightly:
"The Khitan people are really smart. The special effects are piled up in Tongguan. They can attack and retreat. They are not afraid of our Zhou army's surprise attack. They are indeed a good natural granary."

Tongguan is difficult to break through. More than 20 troops of the Liao army attacked day and night for half a month before taking Tongguan.

It turned out that the Tongguan defenders of the Great Zhou suffered a dull loss. At that time, the Liao army launched a blitzkrieg and went straight to Qinfeng Road, but the Zhou army failed to support Tongguan in time, and all the troops were drawn to the northern front.

So when the Liao army attacked Tongguan, the Zhou army had only 3, and the Liao army had about 23. The difference in strength was too great, so they had to defeat Tongguan.

Huang Yi asked softly, "Master, what shall we do next?"

"What should we do? It's easy to handle. We don't have to attack Tongguan. Let alone we only have 200 people, even if we add two zeros after it, we can't beat it. But I have a good way?"

"What way?" The thin man next to him and Huang Yi asked at the same time.

Chen Buer made a parabolic movement,

"Isn't it simple? At such a distance, the mortar can fully take advantage of it. Everyone is resting now. When it gets dark, we will send the Liao army on the road. Unfortunately, we can't get the grain, grass, gold and silver piled up in this city." Here we go."

The thin man's eyes were cold: "We'll figure out a way later, we have to kill the enemy as much as possible, and we can't let the Khitan dogs bully us!"

Chen Bu'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had an inspiration.

"I have an adventurous plan. Since Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let's simply occupy Tongguan. This will not only block the logistics supply of the West Route Army of the Liao Kingdom, but also cut off their retreat. You guessed it in Luoyang How will the Western Route Army react?"

The thin man thought for a moment:
"In that case, the Liao army in Jingzhao Mansion and Luoyang will definitely get rid of our nails first, and then we will be surrounded by at least 20 Liao troops..."

Chen Buer didn't take it seriously:
"If we were fighting in the field, of course we would not be able to take such a risk, but now that Tongguan is here, we are not afraid. You see, if you want to fight Tongguan, the opponent can only take a small road by the Yellow River beach. At that time, the advantage of the Liao army's cavalry will not be fully utilized. .

At that time, we only need to defend one east and one west. With such a heavy machine gun, we will shoot as many people as possible. The Liao army will not be able to charge up at all, and they will not have long-range attack weapons in their hands. So don’t say 20 by then. 50, even if [-] troops come, they will be caught blind. "

Only then did Huang Yi understand:

"Oh, I understand, young master. You are deliberately using us as bait to drag 30 West Route Army troops to Tongguan so that they cannot attack Bianliang."

Chen Buer patted his thigh:
"That's what it means. If we defend Tongguan, we will cut off the food route of the West Route Army. They have to attack Tongguan. Even if they go all out, don't directly attack Bianliang from Tongguan, we can follow them and catch them by surprise!
If the 30 to 20 Liao troops can be held back, and the Taiyuan government can hold down another [-] Liao troops, then only the East Route Army can attack Bianliang, and it will be absolutely no problem to defend the city, but we are a little dangerous. "

The thin man gritted his teeth: "Master, I think I can do it!"

Huang Yi also nodded: "If 200 of us can hold off hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, we will be able to make a name for ourselves in history."

"Haha, right? Then let's do it like this. Be careful when blowing up Tongguan City, don't blow up the city wall."

It was night, and the sky was completely dark. Looking down from Linzhiyuan, the lights in Tongguan City became the best target.

Chen Bu'er has already taken out a hundred mortars from the space hospital, let alone a small Tongguan city with this scale, it can even be used to fight Liao Kingdom Shangjing.

"The captains will report immediately, have the shooting angles been adjusted?"

Huang Yi ran around and came back to report: "Everything is ready."

"Okay, listen to my order, prepare to load, prepare to... release!"

呯~呯~~呯~~~
A hundred bombs roared and blasted towards the city of Tongguan.

At this time, the Liao army in Tongguan was eating big mouthfuls, drinking big bowls, and many people were sleeping soundly. I don't know who gave them the courage to be so indulgent in the territory of Dazhou.

Now it's all right, a hundred shells landed in Tongguan City densely, and there were flames and explosions everywhere, followed by people shouting and horse neighing, and the whole Tongguan City was in chaos in an instant.

If there are veterans from Yijin Mansion among these Liao troops, they will definitely think of the night when Xijin Mansion was bombed.

Chen Buer didn't care whether the other party was dead or not, and he issued the second round of orders. In a short time, another hundred bombs were bombarded into Tongguan City, causing another large number of casualties.

The city of Tongguan is not big, and tens of thousands of troops, grain, grass, cattle and horses are crowded together, and it has long been densely packed. Now this kind of indiscriminate bombing makes it impossible for the Liao army in Tongguan city to hide.

The clever Liao army was ready to open the east and west gates to escape, but when they opened the gates and just rushed out, they found dozens of flames suddenly appeared in the dark night.

It was a team of 50 people each led by Shouzi and Huang Er, equipped with heavy machine guns and wearing infrared night vision devices.

Machine gun bullets are like harvesting wheat, reaping human lives mercilessly.

Shells were bombed from the sky, and machine guns were fired on the ground. The Liao army in the city was either killed by bombing or burned to death, and many people were simply trampled to death by humans and animals.

In short, at dawn, Chen Buer and the others rushed into the city of Tongguan. There were human and horse corpses everywhere, and many of them were directly burned into black carbon.

The [-] Liao army died overnight.
