Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 515 Get Out

  Li Xin's goal has never been a small Fu County.

Such a big place can't accommodate too many people. Li Xin's real focus is Mianzhu, which is not far from Fucheng. Mianzhu is the real acropolis of Jincheng. As long as he wins Mianzhu, he is tantamount to pinching Pingnan. No matter how hard Li Shen struggled, Jun's neck wouldn't be able to bounce for too long.

   But Mianzhu conservatively estimated that there were also tens of thousands of defenders, and it was almost impossible to take it down easily, so Li Xin had to settle for the next best thing, temporarily occupying Fucheng near Mianzhu.

  Now, Li Xin has to wait in Fucheng for ten days and a half months before deciding how to proceed.

  If Li Shen really brought troops to attack Fucheng, he would teach the general Zhuguo a good lesson. If Li Shen did not come, then Li Xin would start planning to attack Mianzhu.

   But Li Xin didn't wait, he wrote a letter to Mu Ying who was far away in Hanzhou.

It is conservatively estimated that there are 10,000 people guarding Mianzhu, so many people, relying on Li Xin's subordinates, are basically impossible to take down head-on. down.

  Mianzhu is a big city. Even if Li Xin does not care about the lives of his subordinates, it is absolutely impossible for him to be defeated in three days like Fucheng.

   So Li Xin used those people under Mu Ying's hands.

   You must know that Hanzhou Prefecture is on the other side of Mianzhu!

   After writing the letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin asked Zhao Jia to transcribe it into five copies, and distributed them to the five most capable people in the army to take them to Hanzhou City to deliver the letter.

The reason why    was sent this way was because it was in wartime, and the sending route had to pass through the "enemy-occupied area", so we had to be careful.

   In this way, as long as any one of the five people is discovered, he will destroy the letter in his hand without hesitation. While ensuring safety, he also guarantees that the letter will be delivered to Mu Ying.

   After writing the letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin picked up the pen again and wanted to write a letter to Ye Shaobao, but after hesitating for a while, he put down the pen in his hand.

If nothing else, Ye Ming should already know the news that Fucheng was taken down by him at this time. It is meaningless to write a letter. If Ye Ming has not responded at this time, there is no tacit understanding between the two people. Letters are meaningless.

   Lord Jingan put the pen aside and closed the letter in front of him.

   "At this time, Senior Brother Ye has to help me relieve the pressure..."

   The pressure Li Xin mentioned was the pressure from the Jiange.

  If only Li Shen came to fight Fucheng, even if Li Xin couldn't hold it, he could hold it for a long time, but if the Jiange side also split up, then Li Xin should not be able to hold on for long.

   So at this time, there must be someone on the Jiange side to help Li Xin hold off.

  …

   Sword Pavilion.

   This place, as if the mountain was split by a giant sword, left a long sword mark. The sword mark is the only road in this mountain.

   Jianmenguan, on this "sword mark".

  Because of this unique terrain, Jianmenguan has always been said that there is a man who is in charge of the gate, and there are only a handful of generals who have attacked Jianmenguan in the past.

   Only Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan of this dynasty, led people to grind open the gate of Jianmen.

   At this time, another general launched a charge on Jianmenguan.

   The first wave of 5,000 or 6,000 people, divided into several formations, began to attack the Jianmen Pass round by round!

  The general Ye Ming personally supervised the battle and gave a death order, and anyone who took a step back would be executed!

Under this kind of harsh supervision, the elite Imperial Army started to attack Jianmen Pass like a tidal wave. During this period of time, they were all stationed outside Jianmen Pass, but Ye Ming played a trick and ordered The craftsmen in the army made siege equipment at night. Although the progress was slow, it took a long time. Ye Ming's department also made a lot of siege equipment such as catapults.

   In the first three days, the siege situation was very fierce. From time to time, stones were thrown on the gate tower of Jianmen Pass. Ye Shaobao, who has always been calm, was like a mad tiger, madly attacking the defense line of Jianmen Pass.

   For three full days, the sword gate was closed and the blood floated.

  Ye Ming's troops suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the defenders of Jianmen Pass were not very good, and more than 3,000 people were killed by the offensive of the forbidden army.

   Both sides were red-eyed.

   Just when the Imperial Army was about to continue to attack Jianmen Pass, Ye Shaobao waved his hand and ordered all the Imperial Army to withdraw. Back to the station to rest.

   Everyone doesn't quite understand this command.

Logically speaking, after a three-day siege, Jianmenguan's defense tools, including gold juice, kerosene, and rolling stones, were in serious shortage. At this time, no matter how many people died, they had to continue. Charge, there will be some chances to win the sword gate.

   But if the troops are withdrawn at this time and Jianmenguan is given enough time to breathe, then all the people who died in the three days of the forbidden army will die in vain!

   These generals of the Forbidden Army looked a little unconvinced, but Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao's qualifications were here, and he did not dare to disobey his general's order. Although he was not angry, the Forbidden Army still withdrew to the main camp and began to rest according to the order.

   This time, the Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties.

   Facing the corpses on the ground, Ye Shaobao was much more indifferent than Li Xin. He didn't even look at the corpses, but calmly ordered his subordinates to count the names and bury the corpses.

  Ci does not command soldiers.

  Like Li Xin, with a somewhat compassionate temperament, is destined to not become a famous general. As long as a real famous general can achieve their strategic goals, no matter how many people die, they can turn a blind eye.

   In other words, they are used to seeing life and death, so they will be as indifferent as Ye Ming.

   In the evening, all Ye Ming's troops returned to the camp.

  When the commander was discussing matters, a commander of the forbidden army, Zhechong, finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and clasped his fists at Ye Ming.

   "General, today's events, the last will not understand no matter what!"

This commander Zhechong looked like a rough man without too much attention, and he said directly: "This afternoon, the guards at Jianmen Pass are obviously tired, and we have a good chance to break through the pass in one go. Ordered to return to the teacher, the last will have no way to understand no matter what!"

  Ye Ming sat in the main seat without raising his eyelids.

   "Then according to your opinion, how long will we have to fight before we can gnaw down this slightly tired sword gate?"

   This Commander Zhechong gritted his teeth.

   "If you don't fight, who will know?"

   Ye Ming sneered: "This Jianmen Pass, the Pingnan Army was over a hundred thousand troops, and it took a full eight years to gnaw it down!"

   "The person who guards this pass today is only stronger or weaker than Nanshu back then. Where do you get the confidence that you can take down Jianmen Pass in three days?"

   "Fighting further will only kill more people!"

   The Commander Zhechong was still dissatisfied, and he lowered his head and said, "Since the general knows that he can't beat the Jianmen Pass, why did he instruct the brothers to force the Jianmen Pass before?"

   "Half of the fight stopped, the brothers who were killed and wounded before, didn't they just die in vain?"

   He gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Although my Imperial Army is not the Zhenbei Army led by the general, but in any case, it counts as human life?!"

   This is accusing Ye Ming of not taking the lives of the Imperial Army seriously.

   Ye Shaobao glanced at the man, and finally said expressionlessly.

   "Let's fight for these three days, and we can guarantee that the Jiange defenders will not dare to leave the Jiange for half a step."

  The reason why Ye Ming rushed to the sword gate like a madman was to echo Li Xin from afar and ensure that Li Xin would not be attacked by both ends. For this purpose, he did not mind how many people were killed by the forbidden army in this storm.

   Having said this, Ye Ming shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, you probably don't understand what I'm telling you, you should go and pack up now and go back to the capital."

   The Commander Zhechong glanced at Ye Ming in amazement.

   "If you were from the Zhenbei Army, and you ran into Shangguan like this, you'd be dead by now."

   Ye Shaobao's tone was calm.

   "For Chang'an's sake, I won't kill you."

   "Give you ten breaths, get out."
