Chapter 254: Yangping Bloody Battle

The husband is whipping the wind and thundering, and the national disaster does not go to the non-handsome Ying. ---------Bright. Zheng Shanfu "Ancient Sword Walk Presents the Revenge General to the Northern Expedition"

The battle of the Sword Pavilion Plank Road, capturing Deng Xian and destroying the plank road, completely blocked the idea of Yizhou reinforcements to go out of the Sword Pavilion to aid Hanzhong Zhang Lu, the Qinglong Army can be described as lucky, without losing troops, it basically collapsed the military alliance between Hanzhong and Chengdu. When the Yizhou soldiers repair the plank road again, or take a detour to help, Hanzhong will already be the world of Ma Tengjun's army.

At the end of the plank road, the outpost found an ancient castle across the plank road, vaguely guarded by soldiers. This fortress is a checkpoint permanently set up in Hanzhong at the exit of the plank road, which is used to inspect in peacetime, and is naturally a bridgehead to defend the plank road in wartime.

After this fort, you will enter the vast Hanzhong Plain, and you will reach the suburbs east of Yangping Pass in one day. When the time came, Zhang Wei cut off the supply of Hanzhong County, and if he did not surrender, the only choice was to abandon the pass and escape.

There were a thousand defenders in the castle, led by a partial general. There is an active lookout post at the height, and I saw a long snake coming up on the plank road. In the past few days, the guards of the ancient castle have already received a notice from Hanzhong that Yizhou reinforcements led by Deng Xian and Ling Bao will enter Hanzhong County from here. Therefore, the lookout post was not surprised, and notified the leader of the ancient castle, who went to the lookout to watch, and muttered in a native voice: "Isn't the hammer Xichuan soldier using a red turban, how can it be replaced by a vegetarian one." "The order goes down, the first team is ready to open the fort gate, and the second team is on guard.

Chen Long was the first to approach the fort gate, only to see a bearded young general standing at the end of the plank road and shouting: "Come and get your name!" ”

Chen Long saw that he didn't eat the rain of arrows flying right away, and knew that the news of crossing the mountains and blocking the Yizhou reinforcements had not yet arrived, so he was relieved in his heart, and stepped forward and shouted: "I am Deng Xian, the fourth prince's account!" I am ordered by the prince to save you Hanzhong, who are you, shouting here! Get out of the way! ”

Zhang Luben was Liu Yan's subordinate, and with the help of the Qinglong Army, he captured Hanzhong. The soldiers in Hanzhong were well fed, and Zhang Lu occupied the key points, and gradually disobeyed General Liu Yan's orders, and supported the troops to divide their own respect. blocked the plank road even more, and repatriated Liu Yan's envoys to Luoyang and Chang'an. If there was no Ma Teng and Chen Long alliance to attack Hanzhong, how could there be any combination of Hanzhong and Shuzhong?

When the little soldier saw Deng Xian's appearance, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and asked, "It turned out to be General Deng!" My lord has been looking forward to the arrival of the general, may I ask General Lingbao? ”

Chen Long frowned and said impatiently: "Of course, press the formation in the back." Don't be verbose, and if you don't give way, we'll go back. "Then turn around and leave.

Seeing this, the head of the Hanzhong soldier thought that he would come out of the Sword Pavilion plank road, and it was not the Yizhou soldier. I didn't suspect it at the moment, I didn't even ask about Guan Fang, and said hurriedly: "General Deng, please stay." With that, he waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, and the door of the fort suddenly opened, revealing a avenue in the middle.

Chen Long waved his hand, and the commander of the Qinglong Army drove straight in, but the last one to press the formation was Gao Shun, and the little soldier thought it was Ling Bao, and nodded hurriedly to greet him. Chen Long gave a look, and Lu Chang, Gao Shun, and hundreds of special combat personnel in the fort attacked together and fought with the defenders. The defenders were caught off guard, but in half an hour, the fort had been completely cleared, and the head of the soldier had already been shot by Lu Chang and knocked unconscious with one palm. There was a lot of equipment in the fort, and the Qinglong Army replenished it, and even Chen Long had an ordinary steel gun in his hand.

Chen Long expected that the plank road would not be beneficial to the state soldiers in half a year, so only 300 people were left to guard the fort and prisoners, and the rest of the troops were all assembled and advanced to Yangping Pass.

The Hanzhong Plain is located in a natural basin, a narrow trough-shaped mountain depression basin, surrounded by mountains, formed by the alluvium of the Han River, and the fragmented soil and stone have been infiltrated for tens of millions of years to form a fertile field. The river pond and reservoir water area in the basin is vast, the agriculture and fishery are developed, and it has the reputation of "the land of fish and rice", and there are crested ibis, giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, and takin in the basin, which are called "four national treasures" in later generations.

The troops marched through the watery fields, and many peasants who were working in the fields stopped to look at this unit and point their fingers. The Qinglong army marched at a rapid pace without committing any crimes, and no one saw that this hurried army was actually plotting to seize Hanzhong.

After walking for another day, only a few dozen miles away from Yangping Pass, Chen Long's army hid its tracks in the mountains and forests. In the evening, the scouts reported that on the road on the south side of the mountain forest, they found a rushing baggage force, only a few hundred people, and the direction was Yangping Pass.

Long Chen called Zhou Budo to discuss, and Zhou Budo smiled and said, "Lord, isn't this just an opportunity for a surprise attack?" If we can pretend to be a supply force, we should be able to open the gates of Yangping Pass. ”

Chen Longben also felt that this was an opportunity, but he had a strong army and didn't want to let hundreds of brothers enter the customs and take risks. After a moment of silence, he said: "If we detain the supply troops, the defenders in the city will not see the supplies arrive tomorrow morning, and they will definitely think that something is wrong and send troops from the customs to pick them up." How about we set up an ambush then? Not only can we destroy the enemy's living forces, but we can also create momentum, so that Xun You and Ma Teng outside the gate will know that we have arrived. ”

Zhou Budo began to think seriously and said: "Our biggest advantage is that we have arrived in the hinterland of Hanzhong without knowing it, and Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei are still in a dream. If it is said that the surprise attack, it seems that the goal should be to take Hanzhong directly. ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "What Yuan Zhi said is very true. However, the direct capture of Hanzhong was slightly insufficient. If Zhang Lu goes out of the city to fight, we are not afraid of him, if he can't hold out, we won't have a chance. ”

"If we disguise ourselves as Yizhou reinforcements, Zhang Lu is a subordinate of Liu Yan in Yizhou, and we will definitely not be able to hide from him. Therefore, it is difficult to have a chance in surprise attack. ”

Zhou Budo nodded in agreement and said, "Then break the Yangping Pass, and then fight with Zhang Luzhen!" He is a Hanzhong, isolated and helpless, although there are a lot of troops, but Hanzhong is not a strong city in the world. ”

Chen Long nodded heavily and said, "Then let's go and destroy that supply team first, and sacrifice the battle flag for the battle of Hanzhong!" ”

As soon as the night was dark, the Qinglong Expeditionary Force had already finished the first battle in Hanzhong, wiped out this army of several hundred people, and captured a lot of weapons, grain and grass. There were a lot of longbows and feathered arrows in this batch of supplies, which happened to equip Chen Long's expeditionary force.

Early the next morning, Long Chen had already arranged pocket arrays on both sides of the official road, waiting for Yangping Pass to send troops to receive supplies. The whole army had already been instructed, and once the war began, it would create a momentum and let the troops outside the pass know that the expeditionary force had reached the other side of Yangping Pass. Caught between two sides, Chen Long firmly believes that today is the day to break through.

Yang Ang was on guard at the gate last night, and he had been muttering all night without seeing the arrival of the daily supply team. Early in the morning, Yang Ang led a thousand troops to set off, looking for supplies along the road, but unexpectedly fell into Chen Long's trap. The 1,000 Han Chinese army quickly disappeared, Yang Ang fought to the death, and fled frantically to Xiongguan, the drums and horns behind him were everywhere, and the Qinglong army chased after him, and the soldiers who closed the door did not know what was going on, so they quickly closed the door. Yang Ang saw that he did not dare to open the door on the city tower, so he hurriedly walked around the pass, and Chen Long told him to escape, and ordered the army to directly attack the city pass, assuming that dozens of ladders were made overnight.

At the head of the city, the Hanzhong soldiers were in chaos, and they couldn't imagine that the strong soldiers who were attacking the city came from behind, so they hurriedly ordered troops to transfer generals and transported the bricks and stones of the city defense equipment. Just prepared 5,000 soldiers to go to the city on this side, but unexpectedly, the horns outside the pass were repeated, and the armies of Xun You and Ma Teng attacked again, launching round after round of non-stop general attacks.

In this siege battle of the Qinglong Army, although the defenders were caught off guard, they still suffered heavy losses. Chen Long knew that the casualties in the siege battle were bound to be a hundred times that of the defenders, but he had no choice but to storm the city today, and the only way was to take the lead and personally fight at the head of the city to relieve the pressure on the soldiers on the ladder.

Up and down Yangping Pass, there are corpses of the Hanzhong Army and the Qinglong Army everywhere, Chen Long is already covered in blood, and the comrades who climbed up to the head of the city, finally killed the five thousand troops at the head of the city, the collapsed defenders saw that Chen Long was like a killing god, they were already frightened, they jumped off the city tower to survive, Chen Long jumped down the city, split the city gate with a knife, and cut the rope of the drawbridge with two knives, the Qinglong army continued to kill into the city, I don't know how many lives were sacrificed, and finally broke through this iron-like Xiongguan.
