Chapter 412: Smuggling into Dingjun Mountain
The well-organized battle of Yangping Pass, with the arrival of Fei Yi, the battle escalated again.
Originally, the previous battle between the two sides belonged to the level of 1,000 people, and the maximum number of people reached 10,000, but the arrival of Fei Yi suddenly raised the scale of the battle to 100,000 people.
A campaign with 100,000 participants will be a large-scale battle from that point of view.
Fei Yi's purpose here was to relieve the siege of the two cities of Hanle, and to counterattack the Wei army that had entered Hanzhong and expel the Wei army from Shu.
Although Fei Yi was not interested in the Northern Expedition, but when it came to protecting the territory and the people, when the foreign enemy invaded, he still had to spare no effort to deal with the battle, and this time he mobilized 50,000 troops stationed in Fucheng to reinforce Hanzhong, which was almost nearly one-third of the army of Shu, and this was also the only mobile force of Shu.
Now the army of Shu in Hanzhong is more than 100,000 people, and it has the capital to compete with the Wei army, especially outside Yang'an Pass, where nearly 80,000 Shu troops are gathered, so Fei Yi is still full of confidence in winning Yang'an Pass.
The army led by Fei Yi is not like Jiang Wei's army is a partial division, this army stationed in Fucheng is currently the only mobile corps of the Shu army, the reason why the army is stationed in Fucheng is completely to deal with the enemy on three sides, Fucheng can support Hanzhong in the north, Yong'an can be supported in the east, and Jianning can also be supported in the south.
This army is also equipped with a very comprehensive range of weapons, Zhuge Liang is the same as Ma Jun master of mechanical manufacturing, not only produced the world-famous Zhuge Liang crossbow and wooden ox flowing horse, but also carried out large-scale upgrading of all kinds of military equipment currently used by the Shu army, in order to create more sophisticated equipment.
Catapults, siege vehicles, and crossbow carts have been transformed by Zhuge Liang, and their power has increased exponentially, and when the Shu army attacks Yang'an Pass again, there is no need to use the most primitive siege means of ant attachment, as soon as Fei Yi arrived at Yang'an Pass, he ordered the heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on Yang'an Pass.
The stones were flying all over the sky, and the crossbows were as strong as rain, which was obviously a huge test for Xiahou Ba, who had just taken over the defensive task of the Yue Cavalry Battalion.
However, Xiahou Ba did not have the slightest fear, many years ago, he dreamed of coming to the land where his father fell, starting a battle of revenge, and avenging his father's blood hatred.
His father Xiahou Yuan died in the battle of Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong, and finally did not even return to his hometown with his bones, which undoubtedly became an eternal pain in Xiahou Ba's heart, he tried his best to transfer himself to Guanzhong, just to get closer to his father, a little closer, hoping to have the opportunity to come to Dingjun Mountain in the future, even if he could not find his father's grave, as long as he could stand on this land, it was the greatest comfort in his heart.
Yesterday on the way to Yangping Pass, when passing by Dingjun Mountain, he dismounted and stayed for a moment, this place is deserted, and trying to find Xiahou Yuan's grave is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Dingjun Mountain carries too many sad memories of Xiahouba, and also carries too many dreams and long-cherished wishes of Xiahouba, at this moment, he cried like a child.
Respectfully put on the three pillars of incense, respectfully kowtowed three heads, Xiahou Ba did not stay longer, because he knew that the war was in full swing at Yangping Pass, the deceased was gone, his wish had been fulfilled, and the rest was to repay the blood debt that had been owed for twenty-seven years, avenge his father's blood hatred, and appease his soul in the sky.
How could Xiahou Ba, who had a strong desire for revenge, be easily afraid of the Shu people, even if the Shu army used large siege equipment, Xiahou Ba stood on the front line of the city without flinching, commanding the Wei soldiers to guard the city tightly, and not giving the Shu army any opportunity to take advantage of.
The Shu army relied on the advantage of troops, launched the most fierce offensive against Yang'an Pass, looking down from the city head of Yang'an Pass, the red crowd of people spread all over the mountains and fields, like locusts and ants, densely packed, and people were numb to see their scalps.
Yang'an Pass is adjacent to Jigong Mountain in the south, and the Western Han River is close to the north side, just between the deep streams of this cliff, there is only one road to pass, so the offensive surface of the Shu army is not too wide.
Xiahou Ba deployed the most elite troops on the city, fought desperately, held the city without wavering or giving up, and launched a fierce fight with the swarming Shu army, and never let them have the opportunity to cross the thunder pool.
I have to say that the city of Yang'an Pass is too strong, and the combination of dangerous land and strong city makes Yang'an Pass a moat that is difficult to cross.
Of course, this credit is also due to the Shu people, it is because of their tireless repair of Yang'an Pass, that today's Yang'an Pass is solid and solid as a rock.
Probably all the Shu troops who attacked Yang'an Pass were collapsed in their hearts, and the Guancheng they built became their own roadblocks in the end, if they knew that there would be such a day, it would be better to cut corners at the beginning, leaving a little flaw and making use of it now.
But at this moment, they couldn't find the slightest flaw in Yang'an Pass, even if they used more trebuchets to siege vehicles, even if they mobilized more troops to participate in the attack, but the walls of Yang'an Pass were always immovable.
After besieging the city for several days, the Shu army made no progress and was blocked outside Yang'an Pass, unable to advance an inch.
Fei Yi, who was originally full of ambition, is now also anxious and worried, they have been delayed outside Yang'an Pass for too much time, Yang'an Pass is not overcome, the situation in Hanzhong is worrying, although Wang Ping and Liu Min are sticking to the two cities of Hanle, but under the siege of the Wei army, the situation is extremely unoptimistic, and they are waiting for reinforcements to come.
Now Wang Ping and Liu Min are like two chess tendons on the chessboard, if they do their jobs, the situation of the whole chess game is very good, but if they die, then the Shu army will be defeated, and this game in Hanzhong will be lost.
The importance of Hanzhong to Shu is self-evident, it is not only a springboard for Shu to enter the Central Plains in the north, but also a barrier to defend Yizhou, once lost, the entire Yizhou will face the threat of a strong enemy all the time.
Fei Yi had nothing to do, so he could only gather the generals to brainstorm.
"How to break through Yang'an Pass, can you have a clever plan?"
The generals shook their heads one after another, now luring the enemy to fight will not work at all, the Wei army will not fight in Yang'an Pass, and the Shu army has no other way than to attack.
At this time, Jiang Wei said slowly: "I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”
Fei Yi's face was overjoyed, and he said, "If you have any clever plans, you might as well say it bluntly!" ”
Jiang Wei glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Smuggling into Dingjun Mountain!" ”。
