Chapter 752: Ren Er came three ways, and I only went all the way
After rushing to the stone wall, he only needs to step on the shoulders of the robe Ze to climb the stone wall, this method of building a ladder is simple, practical and effective.
After falling into close combat, the role of archers was significantly weakened, and Du Yu immediately made a decision, put the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers on top, and started hand-to-hand combat with Sima Jun.
Of course, the retreating crossbowmen did not rest, and continued to attack the rear team of Sima Jun with a projectile, which flew over the heads of the soldiers on both sides of the stone wall, and then shot diagonally into the crowd.
This kind of projectile method can't even see the enemy, so naturally there is no way to pay attention to what accuracy, anyway, shoot the arrow, and it is all up to luck to shoot the arrow, anyway, the Sima army is so dense, and it is impossible for all the people to be shield soldiers, there will always be some unlucky people who will suffer a catastrophe.
However, the archers of the Sima army stopped shooting, and if they continued to shoot arrows at this time, it would be easy to accidentally injure the infantry in front.
Now the focus of the battle is concentrated on the stone wall, and Sima Shi is supervising the formation in the back, urging more infantry to devote themselves to the attack and take the stone wall as soon as possible.
Sima Jun lined up in a dense formation, trampled on the shoulders of the robe, and struggled to climb towards the stone wall, but they were greeted by a forest of swords and guns, some of the Sima soldiers just emerged from their heads, they were pierced through the heads by the elusive spears, and some of them just put their hands on the stone wall, and they were cut off by the sudden steel knife.
In the midst of the screams, Sima soldiers continued to fall down from the wall, but more Sima soldiers continued to rush up, and the two sides launched a fierce battle around the stone wall, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.
The gap in the middle of the stone wall became the focus of contention between the two sides, Sima Jun simply lifted a thick and long tree trunk as a collision log, dozens of people carried it like this, and when they approached, they accelerated their speed and ran, and then with this momentum, they wanted to break the fence at the gap at once.
Of course, the state army could not let them get their wish, behind the fence were densely covered with dozens of crossbowmen, the crossbows fired in unison, dense as a torrential rain, those Sima soldiers who rushed in front were hit by arrows one after another, and fell to the ground, the thick trunk also lost its balance, planted on the road, and was only a few dozen steps away from the fence.
Sima Jun sent people up again, wanting to lift the trunk again, but under such a dense rain of arrows, he had to protect himself with a shield and carry the trunk, which was indeed difficult to do both.
For this gap in the middle, they can only use the tactics of crowds and launch a crazy attack.
This was a complete hand-to-hand battle, because of the defensive advantage, and the state army was in a slightly advantageous state, they relied on the stone wall, stubbornly resisted the impact of the Sima army, forming an impregnable defensive line, so that the Sima army's attacks were in vain again and again.
The difficulty of the Sima army lies in the narrow terrain, and the attack surface is only half a mile wide, so the troops invested by the Sima army in each attack are very limited, so the numerical advantage cannot be reflected in a short time, and the two sides are evenly matched, forming a tug-of-war at Shimen Pass.

"Qiyu Dadu Governor, Sima Shi led 30,000 troops to attack Shimen Pass, and the shooting general Du Yu led the army to resist, and the two sides are in a fierce battle." After the battle at Shimen Pass, the messengers sent the news back to Gaodu as soon as possible and reported it to Cao Liang.
When the news came, Cao Liang was discussing the military situation with his staff, and when he heard the news, Pei Xiu said with some concern: "General Du is only 5,000 people stationed at Shimen Pass, how can he resist the 30,000 people who go to Sima Shi, and he should immediately send reinforcements to ensure that Shimen Pass is not lost." ”
Several people's eyes looked at Cao Liang, waiting for Cao Liang to give orders.
However, Cao Liang was not in a hurry, pointed to the military map spread on the table, and said to everyone: "Sima Yi this time he raised an army of 150,000 and carried out a three-way siege on Shangdang, of which Sima Yi personally led an army of 100,000 on the South Road, with 30,000 people of Sima Shi as the vanguard, and attacked Shimen Pass from Hanoi, while the East Road was led by Hu Fen and Chen Tai with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and entered the bowl city from Yangjiban, and 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Hu Zun and Wang Jing on the West Road. ”
Lu Zhi said: "The enemy is outnumbered, I don't know why the governor fights?" ”
Cao Liang said in a deep voice: "Sima Yi sent Sima Shi as the vanguard and led an army of 30,000 to attack Shimen Pass, with a very obvious intention, that is, he wanted to drag the main force of our army on the front line of Shimen Pass, and the east and west roads took advantage of the weakness to cut off our connection with Jinyang, and then encircled and annihilated our army in the Gaodu area. ”
Pei Xiu said with a little melancholy: "Shimen Pass is surrounded, we have to save it, but the Sima army on the east and west roads is a headache, if the troops are divided to resist, our army is insufficient and difficult to deal with." ”
Cao Liang smiled faintly and said: "Who said that it is difficult to deal with, Sima Yibing came in three ways, it looks like it is violent, but the three-way army is limited by the terrain and has no connection with each other, it is a good opportunity for our army to break through, Ren Er comes in three ways, I only go all the way, this time we will have an old lady to eat persimmons - pick up soft pinch, Hu Fen Chen Tai on the East Road only has 20,000 people, we might as well eat him first!" ”
The terrain of Shangdang is special, surrounded by mountains, only the middle is a basin, and the four sides of this ring of mountains, cliffs, difficult to block, Sima Dajun divided into a joint attack, it is easy to divide into a joint attack, if you want to attack together, it is difficult.
In this way, it will undoubtedly provide Cao Liang with an opportunity to break through.
With the strength of about 50,000 troops of the Bingzhou Army, to deal with Sima Yi's 150,000 army, there is indeed a kind of inadequacy, but if Cao Liang concentrates his forces to deal with any of them, especially one of the eastern and western men and horses of Sima Yi's army, he will properly occupy the advantage in terms of strength.
Concentrate superior forces and break the enemy army individually, this is the essence of Sun Tzu's art of war, if Cao Liang wants to be comprehensive and divide his troops to resist, it is easy to be controlled by others and be invincible everywhere.
Therefore, when he heard the news of Sima's army attacking Shimen Pass, Cao Liang was not in a hurry at all, because he had already sent reinforcements to him in advance. Cao Liang's task to Du Yu was to delay Sima Jun for three days, as long as the three days were up, he could evacuate Shimen Pass.
