Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 217: :Sanmenxia
Jiaozuo County.
Marching all the way in a hurry, the large troops from Dongzhou arrived here the next day.
Like Xinxiang County, Jiaozuo County did not dare to resist Dongzhou's troops at all. Li Zhen's team had been stationed in Xinxiang County overnight, and almost everyone knew what happened here.
Those who resist, die.
If you don't resist and come out to greet everyone, Dongzhou is just passing by.
Far away, the Princess of Jiaozuo County has already led all the staff out to greet her, deeply imitating the essence of Xinxiang County's strong claim, pulling banners and spreading flowers.
The common people applaud and warmly welcome Dongzhou people to pass by.
Amidst the people in Jiaozuo's fear, the Dongzhou troops ignored it and sent out a random person to negotiate, and the large troops went straight over.
There is no stop at all along the way.
There is no long-distance march fatigue.
Most of the main forces of the various forces in Kyushu are still traveling on two legs. Dongzhou is already full of steam vehicles, and every steam vehicle is full of soldiers. The soldiers just ride in the car and don't walk.
The general is riding in a small steam car. The smaller generals ride horses.
Not a single one walked.
So there is no fatigue at all, everyone is alive and well, except for those who get motion sickness.
The power of another family is called the army.
And the power of Dongzhou is directly the convoy.
It's a stretch, and you can't see the end at a glance.
After leaving Jiaozuo County, this is already within the scope of Zhongzhou.
Li Zhen sat in the car and looked at the map: "Further ahead is Sanmenxia. If I'm not mistaken, the imperial court should have made corresponding arrangements. Sanmenxia is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and heavy troops should be stationed to guard against it." Stick to it."
Sitting in the car, Yang Yuan summed up: "I just don't know how many people are stationed there."
Li Zhen said indifferently: "When I went to report from Hangcheng County to Balongcheng, I passed Sanmenxia. The terrain of that place...even if only 10,000 people are stationed, it can stop us. And the court definitely More than 10,000 people are stationed here, have the scouts sent out come back?"
"Soon."
"Let's talk about it when the scouts come back."
“…”
A few hours later, several fast horses galloped ahead and immediately reported the specific situation of Sanmenxia to Li Zhen.
"Report to Dean Li that Sanmenxia has been integrated with the military and the people. All the people have withdrawn into Sanmenxia. The imperial court sent 40,000 troops, plus the original 25,000 troops stationed in Sanmenxia. A total of nearly 70,000 people are stationed in Sanmenxia The mountain is used as a cover, and the geographical advantage is used as a barrier. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The entire Sanmenxia has been under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter the customs. Businessmen and civilians are not allowed to enter the customs. Our spies cannot be sent in, and we cannot understand the internal situation. .”
Li Zhen nodded: "Go down and rest."
"Yes."
Yang Yuan frowned and said, "There are 60,000 to 70,000 people stationed in Sanmenxia. This...is not easy to fight."
Li Zhen asked: "How many hot air balloons did we bring?"
"About a dozen."
Li Zhen nodded: "Wait for the wind to come."
“…”

Sanmenxia. within the pass.
Following Lin Ke's death in battle, the new Marshal Ma Junqi is here. Standing on the tower of Sanmenxia, looking at the sea of people all over the pass, he chuckled lightly, "So what if you can break through Hebi County in three minutes? Can you blow up the mountains? Can you blow up the entire nearby mountains?" ? If the explosion is not flat, then I can consume you here."
"If you are sensible, turn around and leave. If you are not sensible and drag me here, you will run out of ammunition and food. At that time, with an order from the imperial court, soldiers from several places in Zhongzhou will surround you from the rear. Kill you. Want to enter the Eight Dragon City? You fly over!"
Ma Junqi is not worried at all, as long as Li Zhen dares to come, he is ready to be dragged to death here. He didn't believe that Li Zhen could break even Sanmenxia, that would be unscientific.
Marching all the way in a hurry, half a day later.
Sanmenxia suddenly rang the alarm.
"The Dongzhou people are here!"
"Everyone is ready to fight, Dongzhou people are here."
"The trebuchet is ready."
"Defend this canyon. As long as the Dongzhou army dares to make a surprise attack from here, they will push down the boulder and kill them."
"Even if the Dongzhou people are armed with heavy firepower? We have a geographical advantage."
“…”
Sanmenxia was tense and solemn.
At this time, Li Zhen ordered to be stationed.
Just stationed on the plain outside Sanmenxia, not going deep. If you go deeper, you will enter the mountain, passive.
Soon the camp was stationed, and Yang Yuan and others immediately approached Li Zhen to discuss countermeasures.
Yang Yuan asked: "Sanmenxia seems to be ready. This place is indeed a place where only one man is in charge. But what should we do now?"
Li Zhen said lightly: "There is no rush."
"It's a pity that we have no way to bring the iron-clad boat. Otherwise, the iron-clad boat would go straight into the Yangtze River and go straight to Balong City by water. Can they fight against me? But the court probably knows that we can't walk by water, alas. The Yellow River Valley can't go..."
Li Zhen laughed and said: "The waterway cannot be used. Sixty to seventy thousand heavy troops are hoarded here, and the fortifications have already been completed. There must be many ambushes in the waterway. The waterway is even more dangerous. As for the Yellow River Valley, don't think about it. That's in Wanwan Years ago, it was a river that dried up into a valley, with a lot of mud and swamps at the bottom. It was almost like a canyon, and it was even more dangerous.”
"Then how do we cross Sanmenxia?"
"Wait for a wind, and then walk into Sanmenxia openly."
"Waiting for a wind? Are you going to use a hot air balloon? But a dozen hot air balloons can't hold many bombs, so it doesn't matter what the overall situation is."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Stupid Qi. When we left Dongzhou, did Lin Guofu and the others fill a car with glass canisters?"
"It seems to be."
"Well, that's good."
"What's in the glass jar?"
Li Zhen smiled and said nothing ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "If so many people are stationed here, where does the source of food come from?"
Yang Yuandao: "Theoretically speaking, Sanmenxia has stockpiled grain depots and reservoirs. It can be self-sufficient. The grain should have been delivered in advance, and the reservoirs and reservoirs may have been built in advance."
"Isn't drinking water taken from the Yangtze River?"
"Haha, Dean Li, how is that possible? There is a reservoir. Sixty to seventy thousand people drink water, such a large amount of drinking. Those who only carry water from the Yangtze River, at least get Five or six thousand people are enough. Who is willing to use their troops to carry water? They are all pumped into the Sanmenxia Reservoir or reservoir by water truck in advance."
Li Zhen said: "Two hot air balloons will be dispatched tonight, equipped with telescopes for surveillance from high altitudes. Draw a map of the entire interior of Sanmenxia, focusing on the reservoirs, grain depots and other places."
"Yes!"
“…”
The cruel look in the eyes, everyone around me can feel it...)!!
