Chapter 121: Capture the Pass
"Damn, what's going on with these big Fu people? They attack us like crazy every day. They aren't tired, we're tired! "On the wall of Xunyang Pass, a veteran of the Chu State saw the soldiers of Dafu rushing towards the city wall like a tide. With a nagging in his mouth, he picked up the weapon in his hand, and the Dafu soldiers who were white on the city wall rushed forward.
Maybe the court is urging it tighter. In the past few days, Yang Ming has urged the Dafu soldiers for several days to attack Xunyang Pass in batches, without giving the enemy any respite.
Although the siege operation for several days still failed to occupy the head of Xunyang Pass, it made these soldiers tired from guarding the pass. Every day at dawn, they had to deal with the frantic attacks of the opposing soldiers, and it was only when it was dark that the Dafu soldiers stopped attacking, and they could take a short rest.
Although every half month, Yu Xian will change a group of soldiers to guard this Xunyang Pass. However, the high concentration of energy to resist the opponent's attack for days still made these, and the soldiers of the Chu army guarding Xunyang Pass were exhausted. At night, some people did not even want to eat, and fell asleep in the tents.
That night, most of the soldiers in Xunyang Pass fell into a deep sleep. There were only a few patrolling soldiers, standing at the top of the wall and staring at the pass, fearing that the Dafu army would attack at night.
The fourth watch day is the time when everyone sleeps the most soundly, and no one notices that in a remote corner of Xunyang Pass, a few ropes hang down from the cliff on the pass. Soon after, some men in black. Quietly slid down the cliff along the rope.
In order not to alarm the soldiers of Chu who were defending the city, these black-clothed people tried not to make a sound, and under the cover of night, groups of black-clothed people came up from the cliff on the city wall.
The leader of this group of black-clothed men was none other than Yang Yun, and he would report the news he got from Old Captain Yao to Yang Ming, the king of victory. Yang Ming, who was excited, immediately agreed to let Yang Yun take the headquarters to carry out this mission. And he organized a large army and desperately launched an attack on Xunyang Pass to cooperate with Yang Yun's surprise attack.
It was very inconvenient to walk on the road in the mountains, and it was impossible for the Chu army to find out, so this time, Yang Yunzi brought a thousand good climbers to carry out this task with him.
This operation was very smooth, and when their 1,000 people successfully landed on the wall of Xunyang Pass, they had not yet been discovered by the soldiers of the Chu State.
At this time, it was already ten minutes of the fifth watch, and the sky had already appeared white, and it was almost dawn.
According to the prior agreement, Yang Yun arranged for a soldier who was good at ventriloquism to send out a few night owl cries to the city.
The Dafu soldiers, who had been waiting under the city wall for a long time, immediately reported the news to Yang Ming, and Yang Ming, who received the news, was very happy. Immediately organize the Dafu soldiers to launch a surprise attack on Xunyang Pass.
Seeing that the enemy took advantage of the night, he launched an attack on Xunyang Pass. The sentries guarding the city wall immediately sent out an emergency signal, and these Chu soldiers who were guarding the pass hurriedly rushed to put on their clothes and picked up their swords to participate in the defense of the city.
The Dafu soldiers who were besieging the city under the city attacked particularly fiercely this time, and they launched a fierce attack on the city wall of Xunyang Pass with the help of cloud ladders and rushing cars.
Seeing the ferocity of the enemy army, the soldiers of the Chu State defending the city did not dare to be careless, and under the command of their commander, they tried their best to resist these crazy Dafu soldiers.
Just as these Chu soldiers were going all out to deal with the enemy troops under the city wall, they didn't expect some shouts from their rear, and a group of black-clothed people suddenly attacked from their rear.
These Chu soldiers who were concentrating their energy on the Dafu army under the city were killed by surprise. For a time, many Chu soldiers fell to the ground.
These black-clothed men moved very quickly, killing and injuring many Chu State guards, and while these Chu State guards had not yet recovered their senses, some of them in black had rushed to the iron lock that controlled the gate as fast as possible, and quickly occupied this place, ready to stir the steel cable and open the gate.
Seeing this, a general of the Chu State who was in charge of guarding Xunyang Pass immediately became anxious. If they were allowed to open the gate like this, how could this majestic pass still be kept?
So the general quickly ordered that the soldiers guarding the gate should not be allowed to open the gate at all costs. As a result, many Chu soldiers rushed towards these black-clothed people.
But how could the purpose of the Chu army be achieved? This group of black-clothed men was the one thousand soldiers selected by Yang Yun from the more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, the most courageous warriors. Although there were more than five or six thousand soldiers in the Chu army, they had to resist at the same time, and the attack of the Dafu army under the city was not easy to drive away this thousand brave Dafu warriors in a short time.
As soon as the two sides were engaged, they entered into a life-and-death battle. Among the black-clothed men was a sturdy man with a long hammer, and this sturdy man was so brave that he could almost knock down a Chu soldier with a single hammer.
This sturdy man was none other than Yang Yun's bravest Chi Mu'er, and he almost single-handedly blocked the path of these Chu soldiers. Seeing that Chimur was so brave, the rest of the Dafu soldiers suddenly became more courageous, shouting loudly and fighting hard with the Chu soldiers.
After a while, the soldiers of the Chu army who wanted to kill these black-clothed men not only did not advance, but were forced to retreat step by step. Seeing this, the general of the Chu army who was in charge of defending the city was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he swung his knife to cut off several retreating Chu soldiers, forcing these Chu soldiers to move forward.
However, it was too late, and some of the men in black had already driven the cable and slowly opened the huge city gate. The Dafu soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time under the city were overjoyed, and rushed in with swords and guns in hand.
After a while, the pass was full of Dafu soldiers, and many Chu soldiers were killed on the ground. Some brave Chu soldiers were still struggling to resist, and some were afraid of death either turned around and fled, or simply threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground to hold their heads and surrender.
Seeing that the general situation had gone, the general of the Chu State sighed when he saw this, and had to escape from Xunyang Pass in a hurry with the remaining Chu soldiers and rushed towards the territory of the Chu State.
Finally recaptured Xunyang Pass, Yang Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, finally don't worry, the people of Chu will suddenly enter the Dafu realm and attack the people of Dafu.
All the Dafu soldiers were also very happy. It took so much time and so many comrades-in-arms to die, and finally recaptured this pass, and they stood on the city wall and sang and made noise, venting the joy in their hearts.
Compared with these ecstatic generals, Yang Ming was much calmer. He called the leaders of the battalions into his tent. Looking at the crowd clapping their hands in celebration, Yang Ming stood up. Raise your hands in the air and signal for everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone! We are really happy that we have finally recaptured Xunyang Pass. But as generals who command the army, we must be calmer and see farther than the soldiers. Yang Ming's words completely quieted everyone down. Everyone sat in their seats, looking at Yang Ming, wanting to listen, what was he going to say next?
"Everyone! The people of Chu must think that we can't take this Xunyang Pass. So they never imagined that we would suddenly take this level. I mean, while the people of Chu have not yet reacted, they will redeploy their troops. As fast as possible, we led our troops into the territory of Chu State, so that they could also taste the taste of being invaded. Yang Ming's words reminded everyone present that these are generals with very strong command and combat capabilities, and of course they understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yang Ming's words made Yang Yun, who was sitting on the side, very impressed, his fifth brother was able to make great achievements for Dafu in just over ten years, and he did have something outstanding. Under the leadership of Yang Ming, the officials present finally determined the next battle plan after a battle of words.
Fufeng City is a big city on the border of Chu State. The hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers under the command of Yu Xian, the generalissimo of the Chu army, were stationed in this city. In the past few months, the soldiers of Dafu have been attacking Xunyang Guan day and night, Yu Xian is not in a hurry at all, at this time, he is slowly checking the military report from the front.
Yu Xian's calmness is not without basis, this Xunyang Pass was built by Sima Nan, the emperor of the Jin State in the past, and it took several years to build, known as the first Xiongguan in the world.
Due to the cramped area, only about five or six soldiers could be stationed here. But as the so-called one-man pass, ten thousand people, this Xunyang Pass is extremely strong, and the terrain is also very dangerous, but it cannot be attacked by a large number of people.
Since the completion of Xunyang Pass, no one has ever been able to directly capture it from the front. Facts have also proved this, under the leadership of Yang Ming, the victorious king known as the "God of War" of Dafu, hundreds of thousands of people surrounded Xunyang Pass, but did not set foot on the city wall half a step.
Yu Xian had the mentality of watching a play, he only needed to send a steady stream of materials needed by Xunyang Pass to the pass, and at the same time replaced the injured or tired soldiers every once in a while, so as to maintain that the soldiers on the pass had sufficient combat capability.
Regarding the other party's forcible attack, Yu Xian was not only not in a hurry, but also very happy in his heart. With this kind of Xiongguan blocking, the soldiers of Dafu cannot enter the territory of Chu, while they can enter the territory of Dafu at any time, so that the other party is unable to guard against it. He led the soldiers himself, and he was leisurely in this Fufeng City, so let Yang Ming be in a hurry.
Yu Xian was calm in this joyful mood of being in control, but he got a shocking news. Kuaima suddenly came to report that Xunyang Pass had been captured by Dafu.
The news brought back by Kuaima surprised Yu Xian. How is this possible? I know how important this pass is. A competent person has been sent to guard there, as long as this person is not a dead person, how can he be able to guard this pass!
Shortly after the news was reported, a group of bloodied soldiers confirmed the news. This group of soldiers was the soldiers of the Chu State who were sent by Yu Xian to guard Xunyang Pass. And in this team, the first general was tied to his own horse, and this general was the general sent by Yu Xian to be responsible for guarding Xunyang Pass.
