Chapter 146: Cockscomb Ridge

Cockscomb Ridge.

This mountain ridge is located on the side of the Yiling Trail, and the mountain is towering and undulating, but it also causes the ridge trail to be extremely narrow and steep.

People pass on the road, and if they are not careful, they will fall off the cliff of the abyss.

However, the Cockscomb Ridge is also connected to the west gate of Yiling, as long as it crosses this road, it is a wide avenue of about one zhang on both sides, which leads directly to the direction of the city gate.

Not only that, but this is also the only road in this mountain that can be passed, and the rest of the road is full of cliffs and cliffs, and there is no way to go!

"Whew!"

At about ten o'clock, Wu General Sun Huan spent several hours, and finally led the crowd to arrive outside the Jiguan Ridge and stopped, and couldn't help but take a long breath.

"What about the scouts, go find the scouts, where is this?"

Looking around, Sun Huan couldn't help but say loudly.

When the order was passed down, the guards from the side heard the news, did not dare to slack off, and immediately went forward to find the scout who inquired about the news.

In the middle of the sound, a sturdy scout captain galloped over, panting slightly, and arched his hand: "General Sun, I don't know what to order?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Huan said in a deep voice: "How about you wait to investigate, where is this place?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the scout captain muttered: "General, half an hour ago, when our army was at the foot of the mountain, the villains met a village, and after some inquiry among the villagers, they learned that this place was originally called Jiguanling......"

It took a long time for the scout to slowly explain the terrain to Sun Huan.

"Oh, you're saying that as long as you pass through this path, you can go straight to the west gate of Yiling?"

"Yes."

"According to the villagers, this road was originally patrolled by city sentinels on weekdays, but due to more than ten years of war, the Yiling guards have gradually become lax and abandoned."

"So far, I haven't paid much attention to it."

"Secondly, the little people have just walked cautiously on this road, the road is not more than half a mile wide, and there are bottomless cliffs on both sides."

"Just now, there were two comrades, and due to carelessness, unfortunately fell into the cliff."

"Now, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult for my army to pass!"

"General, do you really want to move on?"

As soon as the words fell, the scout's face was worried, and he slowly asked.

Obviously, he had already crossed the Cockscomb Ridge in advance, and he was still apprehensive about this sheep intestine trail at the moment!

"General Sun, if we don't wait, let's give up this plan."

"Looking at the terrain around it, it is indeed a steep mountain, not to mention that this path is narrow, and there are cliffs on both sides, which must be difficult for the army to pass."

"Otherwise, our army should return quickly, join forces with General Ling, and storm the city."

At this time, when the adjutant general heard the description of the scout, he also had palpitations and couldn't help muttering admonishment.

After all, it is not child's play to command the army, such a small road, if you are not careful, once you fall off the cliff, you will be dead and lifeless, and the losses will be heavy!

"General, don't hesitate, retreat quickly."

At this moment, seeing that Sun Huan's face was still tense, his brows were furrowed, and he was in suspense for a long time, the generals under his command couldn't help but persuade him.

Originally, from the very beginning, the generals were opposed, and finally agreed to come with just to see the terrain here, whether it was feasible to sneak attack Yiling.

Now, according to this, with the advice of the scouts, this policy can be implemented!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the general has decided that the whole army will begin to organize now, in groups of three, support each other, and pass this path in turn."

"Today, Ben will vow to kill under Yiling City and seize the city."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Huan's face turned fierce, his fists were clenched, and he said sharply.

The words reveal the total decisiveness, and there is a momentum that will not be broken and will never be returned.

Now, after seeing the steep, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain under Yiling City, he already knew very well in his heart that although his side had a large number of troops, it was impossible to storm and capture Yiling City in a short period of time!

However, now that the time is not waiting, Shuzhong may send reinforcements to the east at any time to assist the Jingzhou war.

Sun Huan knew that once the battle dragged on until the enemy's reinforcements arrived, it would be wishful thinking to capture Yiling again!

However, Yiling is the gateway to Jiangling in the east, if the Wu army does not take it, then the reinforcements in Shu can drive straight in, join the Jingzhou army in Jiangling, and then fight a decisive battle with the Wu army on the Jianghan Plain.

As a result, the situation becomes more and more difficult to control.

Sun Huan, as the Sun clan, naturally wants to have interests related to the hegemony of the Sun family.

He knew that if he didn't take Jingzhou completely this time, then Wu Di would be threatened by the troops of the Jingzhou army in the upper reaches at any time.

Therefore, it was precisely because of the general manager that Sun Huan did not know the difficulty and retreated, but ordered the whole army to rise to the challenge, pass the path, and attack Yiling City by surprise.

The order was handed down.

Sergeant Wu died under the organization of generals at all levels, and began to divide into groups, in groups of three, and then followed behind the scouts who were familiar with the road, and began to move forward in turn.

Slowly, I saw that on the sheep intestine path, the soldiers of Wu who were moving forward were all worried about the beating, and they were passing slowly and cautiously.

I am afraid that if I don't pay attention, I will fall off the cliff and die!

"Ahh

"Help... Help me......"

Halfway through, there was a faint roar in the rearguard team.

The screams were incessant and heartbreaking.

Apparently, there have already been sergeants who have unfortunately fallen off the cliff.

At this moment, Sun Huan, who was in front of him, had no change in his face, and said in a loud voice: "Pass the order, the whole army must pass carefully, and be sure not to cut the air and fall off the cliff." ”

The order was heard, and a sergeant began to pass the order backwards.

However, at this moment, another bullying sound sounded.

"Ah, there are snakes."

"I've been bitten by a poisonous snake, save me."

"Oops, they're poisoned, what's going to happen about that?"

For a while, Sergeant Wu was already in a mess, and the morale of the army was gradually lost.

At this time, this trail, which was only about a few miles long, seemed to have become an endless deep sea, and Sergeant Wu seemed to have not been able to get out for a long time.

Yiling, east of the city.

At this time, under the road, for several miles in a radius, all of them were faintly visible, and the shouts of fierce battles of the soldiers on both sides were continuous.

"Soldiers, release arrows and shoot Wu thieves."

"Today, you must defend the city."

At this moment, Chen Feng, the general of Yiling, couldn't help but be covered in blood, shouting angrily and giving orders on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also struggled to lift a stone and smash it down!

In an instant, he saw an innumerable number of stones, as if they had infinite power, and they slid straight down the wooden ladder that Wu Jun had placed on the city wall.

Knock knock knock.

There was a very loud rolling sound.

When he looked around, he saw that the soldiers of Wu who were climbing on the wooden ladder were attacked by the stones.

"Ahh

In an instant, the stone rolled straight down from a high place, and the endless impact force ruthlessly pushed Wu pawns in all ranges down the wooden ladder along the way.

Landing at a high altitude.

At this time, layers of Wu pawn corpses were piled up under the city, and at a glance, they were already drenched in blood and blurred flesh and blood.

The tragic situation is unbearable!

However, although the Wu army suffered heavy losses, at this time, Wu soldiers still followed one after another, swearing to continue to attack the city.

"Whole army, keep attacking."

"Today, if you don't take Yiling, you won't give up!"

At this moment, General Wu Ling Tong was also out of the way, and he continuously sent soldiers to attack the city in turn.

Even, at this moment in the battle, he directly pressed the whole army, and even the sergeants who pressed the formation did not stay.

Fortunately, under such a high-intensity attack, the defenders of Yiling were outnumbered after all, and the defense line at the head of the city was victorious one after another.

After all, the Jingzhou army was already insufficient, and more than 2,000 people could only defend the city walls in key areas.

In other aspects, there is no time to care!

At this time, with Ling Tong's high-intensity attack, the disadvantage of the Jingzhou army's insufficient strength was also completely exposed, and it was infinitely magnified.

"General, the offensive of the Wu army is becoming more and more fierce, and it is difficult for our army to resist!"

"General, think of a way."

At the head of the city, the battle was fierce at this moment, and several generals and colonels covered in blood couldn't help but rush to the side of the guard Chen Feng, and said anxiously.

Hearing this, Chen Feng pushed down the wooden ladder on one side, and glanced at the surrounding situation on the other side, and couldn't help but be ruthless, facing a sergeant beside him, and said loudly: "You, quickly go to the west gate, and pass on the general's order, let them quickly lead the garrison to reinforcements." ”

"Those who dare to slack off will not be killed!"

A table of high drinking, cold words.

How dare this sergeant slack off, he immediately surrendered his promise and went to give the order.

Since the casting method of Yiling Castle is mainly based on the shape of the level, the city gate is also opened to the east and west.

East, naturally, is the place where fierce battles are taking place now, facing Nanjun.

The west is facing Shu, where Liu Bei's eastern expedition was blocked in the original history.

………

Just when there was a fierce battle under Yiling City.

Cockscomb Ridge, trail.

Now, Sergeant Wu has gone through all kinds of dangers, and finally walked out of the mountains and mountains and stepped onto the avenue.
