Tongguan, Linzhiyuan

Linzhi was originally a loess high slope south of Tongguan. Tongguan in Han Dynasty and Tongguan in Sui Dynasty were all built on Linzhiyuan.

Later, as the shallows of the Yellow River emerged from the water, pedestrians could pass directly from the Yellow River without having to detour the Linzhiyuan, so this place was abandoned.

In fact, it cannot be considered completely abandoned. It turns out that there was a twelve-year-old beacon tower to serve as early warning and observe the enemy situation.

Now Tongguan has been occupied by the Liao army. Jingzhao Prefecture (Xi'an) west of Tongguan and Henan Prefecture (Luoyang) to the east are all in the hands of the Liao army, so the Liao army naturally relaxed its vigilance and did not garrison the Jingou next to Linzhiyuan.

All the Liao army hid in Tongguan and ate and drank, but did not notice that there was a group of young men watching them on Linzhiyuan, about three miles away.

Chen Buer put down his telescope and spit out the grassroots in his mouth.

At this time, Skinny and Huang Yi also ran over:

"Young Master, I have observed it clearly. There are about 50,000 defenders in Tongguan City, most of which are baggage troops and grain transporters. The grain and grass are piled up in the city, which should be their logistics and material transfer station."

Chen Buer chuckled:

"The Khitans are so smart, with special effects piled up in Tongguan. They can attack and retreat and defend. They are not afraid of our Zhou army's sneak attack. It is indeed a natural good granary."

Tongguan is difficult to break through. More than 200,000 Liao troops attacked day and night for half a month before they took Tongguan.

It turned out that the Tongguan defenders of the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered a loss. At that time, the Liao army launched a blitzkrieg and rushed directly to Qinfeng Road, but the Zhou army did not support Tongguan in time. The large troops were drawn to the northern front line.

So when the Liao army attacked Tongguan, the Zhou army had only 30,000, while the Liao army had about 230,000. The difference in strength was too great, so we could only defeat Tongguan.

Huang Yi asked softly: "Young Master, what should we do next?"

"What should I do? It's easy to do. We don't have to attack Tongguan. Not to mention that we only have two hundred people, we can't beat them even if we add two zeros to the back. But I have a good idea?"

"What method?" The thin man next to him asked at the same time.

Chen Buer made a parabolic action,

"It's not easy? With such a distance, the mortar can fully play its advantages. Everyone is resting now. When it gets dark, we will send the Liao army to the road. Unfortunately, we can't get the food, grass and gold and silver accumulated in this city."

The thin man's eyes were cold: "Food and grass will be considered in the future. We must kill the enemy to the greatest extent. We cannot let the Khitan dogs bully us, the Great Zhou, no one!"

Chen Buer suddenly had an inspiration.

"I have a risky plan. Since Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can simply occupy Tongguan. This will not only block the logistics supply of the Liao Western Route Army, but also cut off their retreat. What will happen to the Western Route Army in Luoyang?"

The thin man thought about it:

"The Liao army in Jingzhao Prefecture and Luoyang will definitely remove our nails first, and we will be surrounded by at least 200,000 Liao army..."

Chen Buer didn't care:

"If we were fighting in a field battle, of course we would not be able to take such a risk, but now we are not afraid of Tongguan. Look, if you want to fight Tongguan, the opponent can only walk a small road beside the Yellow River beach. By then, the cavalry advantage of the Liao army will not be able to be used at all.

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 we come. The Liao army will not be able to rush up at all, and they do not have long-range attack weapons. So, let alone 200,000, even if the 500,000 troops come, it will be a blind eye."

Only then did Huang Yi understand:

"Oh, young master, I understand. You are deliberately using us as bait and dragging the 300,000 Western Route Army to Tongguan, so that they can't attack Bianliang."

Chen Buer slapped his thigh:

"That's what we mean. If we defend Tongguan, we will cut off the food route of the Western Route Army. They have to attack Tongguan. Even if they are willing to do so, don't Tongguan directly attack Bianliang, we can follow us and catch them off guard!

If the two or three hundred thousand Liao troops could be held back, and the Taiyuan Prefecture would hold back the two hundred thousand Liao troops, then only the Eastern Army could attack Bianliang, and there would be no problem in defending the city, just that we were a little dangerous."

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

Huang Yi nodded: "If two hundred of us can hold up hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, we can leave our name in history in the future."

"Haha, right? Then let's do that. Be careful when bombing Tongguan City and 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 Buer had already taken out a hundred mortars from the space hospital. Not to mention a small Tongguan City, even if he attacked the Liao Kingdom and went to Kyoto.

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

Huang Yi ran back and reported: "Everything is ready."

"Okay, follow my orders, prepare to load, prepare... to release!"

可以可

One hundred bombs roared into Tongguan City.

At this time, the Liao army in Tongguan was eating and drinking, and many people were sleeping soundly. I don’t know who gave them the courage to be so indulgent in the Great Zhou territory.

Now, a hundred shells landed densely in Tongguan City, and there were fire and explosions everywhere. Then people shouted and horses neighed, and the entire Tongguan City was in chaos in an instant.

If there were veterans from Yijin Prefecture among these Liao army, they would definitely remember the night when Xijin Prefecture was bombed.

Chen Buer didn't care whether the other party was dead or not. His second round of orders was issued. For a moment, another hundred bombs were set up into Tongguan City, and another large number of casualties were injured.

The city of Tongguan is not big, with tens of thousands of troops, food, grass, cattle and horses squeezed together, and it has long been dense. Now this indiscriminate bombing has left the Liao army in Tongguan City with no way to hide.

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

It was a thin man, a team of fifty people led by Huang Er, who were wearing heavy machine guns and infrared night vision devices.

Machine gun bullets reap lives ruthlessly like cutting wheat.

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

In short, when dawn, Chen Buer and his friends rushed into Tongguan City, with corpses of people and horses everywhere, and many of them were burned directly into black carbon.

The 50,000 Liao troops died overnight.
