- Late at night, in the north of Jiange City, Jianmen Pass.
The door was opened wide, and thousands of Cao's soldiers, dressed in red and colorful, walked into Guancheng dejectedly.
Cao Cao rode his tired horse and silently walked into the city. Behind him, two powerful generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, also had sad expressions and followed silently.
After returning in defeat, Cao Jun's morale was severely damaged.
On the pass city, Pang Tong looked down at his defeated army, with a trace of surprise in his brows, and murmured: "I didn't expect that Yuan Fang used his troops so quickly, and he arrived at Jiameng Pass at the same time as his lord. This is quite surprising. I was a little surprised"
"Yuan Fang is a thief with many tricks and tricks. He is not as easy to deal with as Liu Zhang. I say Military Advisor Shiyuan, this time, you are a little too confident."
Behind him, a cold and sarcastic voice came. Looking back, he saw Sima Yi sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him with a sneer.
Pang Tong didn't respond to him. He just snorted coldly and walked away from the city.
Not long after, Cao Cao and the generals gathered in the lobby, and Pang Tong and Sima Yi also rushed over.
"Now that boy Yuan Fang has captured Jiameng Pass, his army is coming with great force. How should our army respond?"
Cao Cao cheered up and asked his advisers for help.
Before Pang Tong could speak, Sima Yi had already said: "My lord was defeated by Yuan Fang this time, just because he did not mobilize all his elite troops to go north, not because of lack of strength." Yi thought that my lord would immediately mobilize Jing Yi's elite troops from the Chengdu front line, and the army would gather at On the front line of Jiange, relying on the natural danger of Xiongguan, Yuan Fang will be defeated at the pass."
"Well, what Zhongda said makes sense."
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, thinking about this defeat, it was precisely because he did not bring enough elite members of his direct lineage, but brought 10,000 Shu soldiers to surrender, and the overall combat effectiveness was reduced, which was why he was defeated by Yuan Fang.
So, Cao Cao ordered that more troops be mobilized from the rear in Chengdu for reinforcements.
The military order was passed down, but Pang Tong said worriedly: "Xichuan is now settled. People's hearts have not yet been calmed down. The key points have not been fully accepted. If all the troops are mobilized to come to Jiange, Tong is afraid that the rear will be unstable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Yi sneered again: "The military advisor is too worried. Liu Zhang is weak. The heroes in Shu have been dissatisfied for a long time. They are all thinking about the Ming Dynasty. Now that Liu Zhang has surrendered, he has been sent to Jingzhou. The people of Sichuan are disobedient. Think about it. It has been cut off, so there is nothing to worry about. For us, the top priority is to focus on repelling the Yuan thief's attack."
Sima Yi¡¯s words were indeed reasonable, and Pang Tongyi remained silent for a while.
Cao Cao no longer hesitated and said: "That's it, the throat of Xichuan is at Jiange. This pass must not be missed. I will mobilize all my troops to defend this pass. I want to see what Yuan Fang is capable of." , Defeat my natural barrier!"
¡¡
Four days later, the Qi army¡¯s battle flag appeared north of Jiange.
Yuan Fang is very clear about how dangerous Jiange is. With only 30,000 soldiers and horses in hand, it is impossible to break through it. Therefore, after taking Jiameng Pass, Yuan Fang was not in a hurry to advance to Jiange, but waited for the follow-up army.
Today, more than 100,000 former troops have gathered in front of Jiange.
When Yuan Fang sat with a red rabbit on his crotch, arrived in front of Jianmen Pass, and raised his eyes to scan the terrain of the city, he realized that the throat of Sichuan was more dangerous than he thought.
The towering sword pavilion stands in the canyon pass between the broken banks of Dajian Mountain. It is surrounded by majestic peaks and steep mountains.
The north gate of Jiange City is built with mountain rocks and is called Jianmen Pass.
When facing the Jianmen Pass, Yuan Fang felt that it seemed a bit redundant for him to bring so many soldiers and horses.
There is no other reason. It is just because of the narrow terrain in front of this magnificent pass built across the mountains. Only a few thousand people can fill it up, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they can't spread it.
" Moreover, the altitude of the sword gate is several feet higher than the ground in front of the pass. The army needs to attack from north to south.
In addition, the east and west wings of Guancheng are surrounded by mountains. The walls are steep and can reach the sky. It is impossible to climb. This eliminates the possibility of using troops to detour from the two wings.
"This Jianmen Pass is truly one man's gate, and no one can open it." Looking at this towering gate, Yuan Fang couldn't help but sigh.
"This Jianmen Pass is the throat of Sichuan. It is more dangerous than Yangping Pass. However, as long as we can break through this Jianmen Pass, the road to Chengdu will be smooth. Your Majesty, now that we have troops approaching the city, you might as well try to attack first and explore. Let¡¯s tell Cao Jun what¡¯s true.¡± Fa Zheng said next to him.
Yuan Fang nodded slightly and ordered Xu Huang, who was best at infantry attack, to lead 20,000 troops and horses to immediately launch an attack on Jianmen Pass.
The order was passed, the flag waved, and the sound of war drums soared into the sky.The Qi army's formation quickly began to change amidst the thundering drums. The big flag with the word "Xu" came out. More than 10,000 sword and shield men went first, followed by more than 5,000 archers and crossbowmen, slowly moving toward the sword. The door is approaching.
After the sword door was closed, Cao Cao stood with his sword in hand, with no trace of fear on his scorched face.
Seeing the Qi army attacking, Cao Cao sneered and said: "Jianmen Xiongguan, so what if you have millions of soldiers."
Amidst the rumbling war drums, the Qi army had advanced within the range of the crossbows. Cao Cao made a prompt decision and ordered nearly 10,000 crossbowmen on the city to kill the Qi army fiercely.
Whoosh whoosh!
The order was passed, the sword door was closed, and in the blink of an eye, arrows were like locusts, overwhelming the sky and covering the ground.
This incoming arrow literally fell from the sky. By virtue of its condescending position, not only did its range increase, but its power also doubled.
Facing this rainstorm of arrow attacks, Xu Huang remained calm and ordered the shield hands in the front row to move forward cautiously, holding their large shields high.
Although the rain of arrows from Cao's army was too dense, the Qi army was soon overwhelmed, but none of these brave Qi army soldiers flinched, and they were still moving forward with difficulty despite the fierce rain of arrows from the enemy.
After losing hundreds of people, the sword-shielders and crossbowmen finally advanced within their own range.
"Crossbowmen, shoot arrows for me!" Xu Huang raised his ax high and shouted sternly.
The Qi army's crossbowmen, who had been suppressed, heard the order and stepped out from the gaps in their shields. More than 5,000 sharp arrows rose into the air and rushed towards the enemy in Guancheng.
For a time, Cao Jun's fierce arrow attack was suppressed for a while.
"The time has come, beat the drums and attack the city -" Yuan Fang keenly discovered the opportunity, raised his halberd and shouted loudly.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Dozens of big cowhide drums were beating in unison, and the sound of the Qi army's war drums suddenly reached its highest pitch, making the entire valley roar.
Xu Huang, who was attacking the city, got the order, raised his battle ax, and shouted: "Siege team, let me kill you!"
"Kill~~"
Amidst the thundering roar, the three thousand siege teams at the forefront moved with a roar, carrying the ladders, and swarmed up towards Jianmen Pass like a tide.
The terrain of Jianmen Pass is relatively high, and there is no moat in front of the pass. Xu Huang's elite siege troops easily reached the pass and calmly launched the battle to climb the city.
The Qi army was already approaching the city wall. On top of the city, Cao Cao still looked confident and glanced at the entire Guancheng.
Looking around, the entire Jianmen Pass is lined with arrow towers and barbicans. Within the main city wall, there are also large and small stone villages, forming a three-dimensional defense system with the main gate city in front.
What Xu Huang's troops are attacking is just the front of Jianmen Pass, the first line of defense.
Cao Cao was confident enough to block the Qi army's attack.
When Xu Huang led the Qi army to the city and began to build ladders to attack the city, he was surprised to find that the city wall at Jianmen Pass was narrower than the place where his army had previously formed a formation.
More than three thousand Qi troops were crowded under the city, but the space that could be used to climb the city at one time was only six to seven hundred people. The rest of the soldiers crowded under the city wall became living targets for Cao Jun.
With military orders in hand, Xu Huang couldn't do much. He scolded his soldiers and climbed up the ladder regardless of his own safety.
At this time, endless arrows from trees and stones were falling one after another on Guancheng.
Blood splattered and screams shook the sky. Soldiers who were hit continued to fall from the ladder and were smashed into a pulp.
Although Cao Jun¡¯s counterattack was extremely fierce, Yuan Fang, an elite soldier, had a mountain of military discipline. Without an order to retreat, he feared neither life nor death and crawled towards the top of the city to the death.
However, although the Qi army was large in number, they were unable to take advantage of their strength. The archers and crossbowmen under the city were unable to suppress the enemy's condescending arrow attack. Not long after the siege, hundreds of the three thousand elite soldiers had been lost, and the remaining soldiers had been killed. , can only be replenished continuously.
Hundreds of steps in front of Guancheng, Yuan Fang had already used his telescope to clearly witness the tragedy of his own army.
He immediately knew that this Jianmen Pass was too dangerous, and if he continued to attack like this, he would only lose his soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Jianmen is too dangerous. Now our purpose of testing has been achieved. It's useless to attack by force. Let's retreat." Fazheng, who had previously suggested advancing troops, also suggested withdrawing troops.
"Jianmen Pass is indeed the most powerful pass in Xichuan"
Yuan Fang sighed with emotion, and then ordered the gold to be withdrawn.
As soon as the golden sound sounded, Xu Huang and his soldiers, who were fighting hard on the front line, hurriedly withdrew with their big shields, leaving only nearly a thousand corpses in Guancheng.Before.
On Guancheng, Cao¡¯s soldiers saw the Qi army retreating, and they all cheered and howled, showing off their power to the Qi army.
Cao Cao¡¯s frown finally revealed a smile of relief that he had not seen for a long time.
Next to Cao Cao, Sima Yi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sneered at the corner of his mouth and murmured: "Yuan Fang, as long as I, Sima Yi, are here, you can't even think about taking over this sword gate, let alone getting involved in Xichuan, huh."
In the evening, more than 100,000 Qi troops had retreated to the camp.
The atmosphere in the Chinese army¡¯s tent was quite solemn.
"Jianmen Pass is too dangerous and cannot be broken through by force. We can only defeat it wisely. Do you have any good strategies?" Yuan Fang asked as he glanced at the counselors.
There was silence in the big tent. For a while, all the counselors were thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan here, maybe I can break through the sword gate."
In the silence, the young general Wei Yan, who rarely expressed his opinions, suddenly spoke slowly, with a strange look on his young and heroic face. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
