Yang Jun didn't know what was going on in Guanzhong, after all, as soon as Tongguan was stuck, traffic was cut off, not to mention that Shaanxi and Tianjin were also occupied by General Zhengxi, resulting in some difficulties and lags in both the news of Guanzhong and the news of Hedong.

Tongguan is not easy to fight, everyone knows this.

Although it is not as famous as Hangu Pass, it is still a flesh and blood grinding plate, and it is not false at all. If he could, Yang Jun really didn't want to fight Tongguan, but he had no choice.

Even Yang Biao is too.

Yang Biao naturally has no problem in people's livelihood and government affairs, and of course no one will question Yang Biao in this regard, but when it comes to war......

Yang Biao has not yet won a good record, even if it was the last victory in Guanzhong Chang'an, it seems that it was only a foil for Fei Qian, the last general of Zhengxi.

Most of the "broken-mouthed mothers-in-law" in Chang'an are talking about this, saying that Yang Gong is not proficient in warfare, so why bother to work hard and lose money, it is better to give full play to his strengths and manage the people's livelihood well.

But without a strong army, without soldiers who can deter the surrounding areas, even if you pay attention to people's livelihood and Sangzi, what is the use? In the Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if the monarch was mediocre, didn't those scholars and doctors care about agriculture and mulberry?

Nongsang is important, but it is also necessary to have force and combat achievements in order to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao!

Tongguan is not easy to fight.

General Zhengxi's troops were also not easy to fight.

But we have to fight, and we have to win!

Only in this way will the people around you be in awe and truly obey!

There is also a very obscure factor, that is, this year's inverted spring cold has caused disasters in many areas, but the soldiers who were originally recruited will not take the initiative to reduce their food because of the inverted spring cold and solve problems for Yang Biao. Therefore, if you want to reduce the pressure on the grain and grass caused by the cold spring, you must remove the turnip and save the essence......

Yang Jun looked at the banner with the word "Han" fluttering on the head of Tongguan City, sighed softly in his mouth, and immediately ordered loudly: "Shoot the sound battalion, step forward, salvo!" ”

Two thousand archers, divided into four phalanxes, left and right displayed under Tongguan, with an order, the long arrow left the bowstring, flew into the air, two thousand arrows gathered in the air into a dotted line-like shadow, like two thousand bloodsucking insects, shouting, noisy, rushing to the head of Tongguan City!

Mayan shouted, "Raise your shield!" Looking at the arrows coming from the sky, Ma Yan couldn't help frowning, this time judging from the density and accuracy of the shot, I'm afraid it is not as simple as what he said before......

The shield-bearer raised his shield diagonally and stood in front of him, the archers who were ready to return fire hid behind the shield-bearers, and the pikemen crouched behind the battlements so as not to block the archers' sight.

The arrows slashed through the sky, accompanied by the sound of "boom", followed by the long arrows smashed into the city wall, the sound of "boom, pop" on the shield was endless, and then the voices of everyone above and below the city gathered together, forming a huge roar.

This time, the soldiers brought by Yang Jun were obviously more capable than the last time, and the four archers in front of the phalanx were under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, and quickly entered within a range of a hundred steps from the city wall.

Countless long arrows let out a rapid roar, and rushed into the air, and in an instant, the whole air was covered with long arrows, and they were like locusts in the sky, suddenly obscuring the sun.

The first unfortunate thing on the Tongguan Pass was the half-built city gate tower, the wooden structure of the pavilion under the ravages of arrows moaned in pain, trembling all over, pierced by countless sharp arrows beyond recognition, in the blink of an eye turned into the appearance of a hedgehog. Then those flags that were originally flying high on the head of the city also stepped into the footsteps of the city gate tower, and the colorful flags were either shot off and fell or were shot through and broken, including the original "Han" character flag, the broken pieces of cloth fluttered, part of it fell on the city, and some of it drifted to the bottom of the city with the wind......

A broken, yellow mud straw sandals "poof", stepped up, the word "Han" stepped into the mud, and then more people wearing straw sandals, or barefoot, stepped up, until the original delicate flag, trampled into a dirty appearance.

Yang Jun pointed at a herald and said loudly: "Someone, notify you to set up a ladder immediately!" Siege the gates! ”

As the dense drums of war changed, the archers who had been approaching in a dense formation in front suddenly distanced themselves in a row and made way to the city walls.

"Quick! Fast! Sortie! The captain held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and roared wildly. His army was a column of fifty men. The front and rear sides were covered by shield soldiers, and a dozen soldiers in the middle were bent over and carrying ladders. His task is to assume the fastest speed of the ladder to the city, and pave the way for the follow-up troops to attack. As for the ant attachment, it is not under his control, and his other task is to attack the city gate with the erected rush cart.

The roar suddenly rose to the sky, and thousands of soldiers rushed out of the archers phalanx from the rear and rushed towards the Tongguan city wall full of arrows.

The captain raised his sword and shouted: "Volley!" Cover! Salvo! The arrows were dense again, screaming and rushing towards Tongguan.

Ma Yan did feel different this time, and he also felt a little pressure, after all, this was the Han Han's own army, which was completely different from the peasant soldiers who came for the first time.

What soldier knows best the weakness of his camp?

What class kills the most brutally?

There is only one answer, and that is your own people.

When the cavalry rushed into the line of archers, as long as they were not fools, these archers would definitely scatter and run wildly, and no one would take the initiative to hold a longbow and fight with the cavalry in close quarters, and only when the same kind of soldiers were equipped with the same configuration, the battle situation was the most cruel......

The last time Yang Jun came with his troops, there were not many archers, and Ma Yan could also fight back in the interval between the archers' attacks, not only did he not have much damage, but he also killed and injured a lot of Yang Jun's soldiers, but this time it didn't work. The archers, divided into four positions, under the command of a professional archery captain, covered and shot in a uniform manner, the first wave just fell, and the next wave came, like a wave, endless.

Ma Yan could already see that on the shield held in front of him, there were already no less than a dozen arrows standing densely, and this accuracy and strength were not something that ordinary soldiers could achieve.

This time, Yang Jun brought obviously many veterans, all veterans who had been in the army in the Heluo area for many years.

It's really a pressure on the family......

It's just that under Ma Yan, he is also a veteran of the battle.

Veterans have seen death, are accustomed to blood, and always seem calmer when facing the battle array, unlike those recruits, who usually train okay, but when it comes to battle, they don't know where to put their hands and feet. And veterans can even huddle behind their shields to ask each other about the situation when arrows rain down from the sky......

"It's almost your turn, I see the cloud echelon coming up!"

The sword and shield man held the huge shield diagonally on his shoulders and arms, covering himself and the archers behind him, glanced through the gaps in the shield a few times, and turned back to the archers behind him.

The archer bent down, gently tugged at the bowstring with his hand, and said in the sound of the endless puff of arrows piercing the shield and the wall: "What's the hurry, isn't the captain still unordered?" Besides, there are shield guards who are rushing over now, even if they shoot, they can't kill a few, it's better to wait for them to rush up and fix the ladder, then they won't be able to move, make sure to shoot a ......"

The sword and shield hand laughed twice and said, "Okay, it's up to you then, whether we can take it easy depends on how much you can kill before they climb up......"

The archer swung the two quivers around his waist again, fiddled them into a convenient position, simulated them twice, found that there was no obstacle, listened to the sound of the arrows hitting the shield on the wall, and said, "No problem...... Well, there are fewer arrows, and these people have probably touched the city...... Hasn't the captain given the order yet? Almost......"

The sword and shield hand turned his head and said, "Captain Ma has stood up...... Raised his right arm......"

"The sword and shield are scattered, and the archers shoot at will!" Mayan shouted loudly.

In the sound of "bang-la-la", the sword and shield men blocking the battlements at the forefront took a step to the side almost at the same time, giving way to the archers' shooting window!

Almost at the same time, the archer erected the bow on this small shooting window, and then, as if he didn't even aim, he shot an arrow in an instant, and then felt the arrow from the quiver on the side, wound it, drew the bow, and shot it, a series of actions were completed in an instant, dazzling, and the speed was incredible.

"One, two...... Three, grass, three, four......" The archer was engrossed, not paying the slightest attention to the still scattered arrows whistling through the air, shooting at the fastest speed, and the long arrows left the city one by one, and pounced on Yang Jun's soldiers who were preparing to erect the ladder.

It's not that Yang Jun's archers don't want to continue to suppress, but at this moment, the archers who shot nearly thirty or forty in a row have exhausted their physical strength, and many archers have lowered their hands, panting violently, and some even can't even hold the bow steadily, and some have accidentally worn out their wrists or fingers, and the blood flows down the bow and drips on the yellow earth.

After the archers had fired thirty arrows in a row, they needed to re-trim, and this vacuum of time was filled by the archers of Mayan above Tongguan......

The sound of war drums, shouts, fights, and screams resounded up and down the city walls, black arrows flew in the air, bloody war knives whistled in the wind, huge stones raged on the ladder, and heavy timber carried the sound of wind and thunder to fall from the sky with the momentum of thunder, and the soldiers on the ladder were like strings, all of them were swept to the city, turning into a vague stall of meatloaf and meat sauce.

The sun hung lazily in the air, indifferently looking at the bloody battle that was taking place in Tongguan, perhaps not understanding why these ants were killing each other, yawning and hiding behind the clouds to continue sleeping......

………………………………

Fei Qian has a headache now, and he was negligent for a while, and he didn't predict the chain reaction of the spring cold, which led to having to face an extremely tricky situation now.

A message came from Yinshan, and it was found that Xianbei was heading south; The Chong clan in Chang'an, Guanzhong, sent people to ask for help, saying that Xia Mu drove a large number of displaced people to approach Chang'an; Tongguan also reported the news that the Yang clan was coming to the city again......

For a time, the flames were everywhere.

"Yin Mountain Desert North ......" Fei Qian gently tapped on the table, making a small sound like a woodpecker, and said, "Throughout the records, whenever there is a cold spring, there will be a Hu person going south...... This matter is a thoughtless ......"

Xun Chen said: "This matter is not the fault of the prince and the marquis, the Hu people go south, how can there be a definite number, how can it be said that it is the fault of the prince and the marquis?" The prince is very self-disciplined......"

Fei Qian shook his head, although most people thought that this matter was not Fei Qian's responsibility, but he knew that this was indeed an oversight.

The reason why the Hu people went south is not complicated, and it is not difficult to speculate, but because the cold spring caused no food source for livestock, resulting in death, and the number decreased, so they either went south to find new sources of replenishment to maintain the size of the tribe, or took the initiative to start wars to reduce the number of people......

Either way, the target of the Hu people is always the farming people of the south.

"We can maintain a strong position in front of the Xiongnu and Qiang people, which is nothing more than that we can defeat Xianbei again and again!" Fei Qian said, "The Hu people admire the strong the most, and they are accustomed to obeying the strong, but once we show the appearance of decadence, it is these Hu people who are prostrate under us in the past...... Therefore, this time we must win in Xianbei, and we must win cleanly......"

There is another reason, Fei Qian did not say it explicitly, but he was faintly worried in his heart, after all, in order to clear the no-man's land and form the effect of clearing the wilderness, in the case of not many trees and only the water source of the oasis, it can only pollute the water source, just like the strategy of the Huns against the Han people back then, but whether such a move can be effective, or how much effect, Fei Qian is not clear.

Therefore, on the one hand, Yinshan must do a good job in the defense of Xianbei soldiers, and also need to be prepared for disease infection.

The defense soldiers, with Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others here, there is no problem to take care of, but to defend against disease, I'm afraid......

"Transfer Zhang Yun and Zhang Yiyang to follow the army, and go north to Yinshan with a certain person on the same day!" Fei Qian said, "The land of Yin Mountain is the granary of your and my future, and there is no room for loss!" As for Chang'an......"

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "If the prince can be trusted, can the matter of Chang'an be taught to a certain person?" ”

Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu, a little surprised, after all, usually this big turtle usually shrunk its head, and rarely took the initiative to come out to carry the burden......

"I don't know how many soldiers Wenhe needs?" Fei Qian asked.

Jia Xu said: "Five hundred fine riders are enough." ”

Fei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "But! In this way, the matter of Guanzhong was entrusted to Wenhe...... "Anyway, it's only five hundred cavalry, if it can really solve the problem in Guanzhong, Jia Xu can be regarded as capable." Although Jia Xu didn't say what to do, since Jia Xu jumped out, according to Jia Xu's character, I'm afraid it can be done.

Unexpectedly, Pang Tong also arched his hand on the side and said, "In this way, the south will be handed over to a certain ...... Give a certain 500 cavalry, and you will be relieved of the worries of the prince and the marquis of Tongguan......"

Yo, it's all so good, can it really be so trouble-free?

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "This...... Okay......" I promised Jia Xu too much before, and I didn't ask Jia Xu what kind of plan he wanted, and now after Pang Tong comes out, it's not easy for him to ask, otherwise wouldn't it be clear that he believes in Jia Xu and doesn't believe in Pang Tong?

But in the south of Tongguan, in addition to Pang Tong, there is also a Xu Shu, so there should be no problem with giving Pang Tong 500 rides......

However, Fei Qian's hesitant words were immediately noticed by Pang Tong. In the lobby, Pang Tong was not easy to attack, so he glared at Fei Qian angrily, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, this time not only to win but also to win beautifully, so that this Fei Qian always treats himself as a child......
