However, it was said that Longshan Pass was not far from Xiabiancheng, and Dou Mao led 2,000 elite soldiers to arrive at Longshan Pass in the evening of the same day.

The so-called Longshan Pass is a pass between two mountain peaks, and there is no road on either side, not even a small road.

It is a place where one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people cannot open it.

In normal times, there are no soldiers and horses stationed at this pass, only a pass commander with some men and horses to guard it. After Dou Mao arrived at Longshan Pass, he stayed in the Guanling Mansion in the pass, arranged for elite soldiers to set up tents in the open space in the pass, and prepared equipment to defend the city.

There was no word that night, and no movement on the second day, and on the morning of the third day, there were soldiers guarding the pass, and they saw a long army coming from the south.

The army formed a long line, and there was no edge in sight from the head.

Dou Mao heard the news and came to watch from the gate, put his right hand on the female wall, and sneered: "The land in front of the gate is only fifteen zhang wide. Even if you have tens of thousands of troops, you can't spread out. And how can you do your best? ”

This is where Dou Mao's confidence lies. Although there are few soldiers and horses in Wudu, this Longshan Pass is very dangerous, and the road in front of the pass is only fifteen zhang.

It's not that you can gain the upper hand with a large number of troops, you still need to spread it out.

Soon after, Zhang Bao and Wang Ping led the army to Guanxia. The two of them each unified the army, Zhang Bao was in front, Wang Ping was behind, and the general should have been in his own army, but since it was close to the pass, Zhang Bao sent someone to invite Wang Ping to come over and discuss how to capture Longshan Pass.

Before that, Hanzhong only knew that Longshan Pass was a dangerous place, but no one had ever been to it with his own eyes. Therefore, Zhang Bao was enthusiastic and sought to be a pioneer, and promised to break through Longshan Pass.

But at this moment, Zhang Bao and Wang Ping rode their horses under the pass, Zhang Bao's heart was half cold, and Wang Ping's face was a little ugly.

"General Zhang. This time we brought five well trucks, five ladder trucks. But looking at Longshan Pass, I'm afraid that I can only arrange one each. Although there were seven or eight thousand men and horses, every time they went into battle, there were only a few hundred. If it is the elite of the army, the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are clamoring, they may be able to capture it in one fell swoop. But our soldiers are all incorporated into Zhang Lu's old department, and the time to lead the troops is too short. I'm afraid I won't be able to conquer this pass. Wang Ping thought about it again and again, although it was difficult to speak, but he still made such a judgment.

Not to mention that they can't capture it with seven or eight thousand people, even if they add Guan Ping's rear army of 120,000 people, they can't capture this pass.

You can only put in 500 people at a time, and it's useless to have too many troops.

"That's my judgment too. But since it stinks...., and bragging in front of General Ming, you still have to fight. Wang Sima, go and occupy the mountain behind you, cut down the trees, and set up camp. I myself led 3,000 men here to attack the city. With a team of 500 people, they took turns to attack the city. In the evening, when the enemy and the enemy are tired. I led my own soldiers to attack the city myself. My own soldier is Fang Ling, a son of Xinye. It's very elite. ”

Zhang Bao pondered for a while, and felt that if he didn't fight, he would really lose face, so he said to Wang Ping.

It is useless for him to have five or six thousand men, only three thousand men are enough.

"No." Seeing this, Wang Ping also agreed, and led his troops to the nearby mountains to cut down trees and set up camp.

After Wang Ping went down, there were only more than 3,000 people left in Zhang Bao's department. A well car, a ladder car, many ladders. Zhang Bao turned over his horse, led his own soldiers to supervise the formation in the rear, and said: "Wang Junhou, Zhang Junhou, Li Junhou, Wu Junhou, Yang Junhou, you five people, each tackling the key problems. Half an hour each. I will lead my own soldiers to supervise the battle in the rear, and if anyone dares to retreat without a fight. I will kill them. ”

Zhang Bao turned over and got on his horse, dressed in a red robe, holding a spear, murderous.

"No."

These five military candidates are also Zhang Bao's henchmen, but the soldiers and horses they lead are all Zhang Lu's old troops. At this moment, he made a bang and supervised the formation in front.

Take turns tackling key problems.

But it was the king's army waiting to go first, and the rest of the army waiting to attack in turn.

"Kill !!!" Wang Junhou didn't dare to step forward, so he only ordered the soldiers to be killed. And this batch of soldiers has been training for seven or eight months, and many of them are old pawns in Zhang Lu's old department, and more importantly, Zhang Bao in the rear is not a vegetarian, and if he retreats, he may really be killed.

Therefore, with Wang Junhou's order, five hundred and fifty-five soldiers pushed the well cart and the ladder cart stepped forward. Followers of archers and shields.

Ordinary ladders can't be climbed for the time being, and now going up is just a target to be shot. When the well cart reaches a certain distance, the archers under the gate also lean up, and the archers on both sides begin to face each other, so that they can go up.

"Shoot !!!" Longshan Pass is relatively high, so it has a certain advantage, and Dou Mao first ordered archery when he saw this. The archers of the Di tribe on the gate released arrows one after another.

Most of the Di people live in the mountains, so there are many archers, and when they open their bows together, the arrows fall like raindrops. The shield bearers on the well cart hurriedly raised their shields to protect our archers.

The same is true for the shield bearers under the city, so in this first wave of arrows, Zhang Baojun did not have too many casualties. Soon after, the well cart finally got up.

"Whoosh !!" Zhang Baojun's archers had to come out and shoot at the other side, and they became the target, and many archers were shot for a while.

Of course, there were some casualties among the Di archers, but the casualties of the defenders were much lower than those of the attacking side.

The archers on both sides began to suppress each other, and the ladder carts took the opportunity to press up, and the soldiers who carried the ladders also swarmed up.

These soldiers carrying ladders don't need shields at this time. Keep your head down and charge quickly, although the soldiers have no armor, but they still have helmet protection, unless they are unlucky, or they are just injured, and they can't die.

After losing a number of soldiers, the ladder cart and ladder were finally erected on the wall. The ladder cart is difficult to push down, but the ladder is much easier to push.

After closing some of the Di soldiers, he braved the arrows and bent down to overturn the ladder. The soldiers who fell from the gate were really not dead and were seriously injured.

On the other side, the ladder cart was not easy to knock down, and the soldiers of the Di tribe who closed it picked up the stone and smashed the wood. Because of the haste of the matter, the Di tribe did not bring oil, otherwise it would have been even more miserable.

But despite this, according to such a scale of siege, it is impossible to attack Longshan Pass. I saw that the soldiers of Zhang Baojun fell in pieces, and the dead did not need to say much, but the injured had to find a way to hide, or quickly run back.

Then he was shot and killed by the soldiers of the Di tribe who were locked up.

It's all about human life.

Half an hour later, there was a sound of gold and iron. Wang Junhou exhaled, even though he was an old pawn, but when he saw this scene, his scalp was still numb.

It's just deadly.

Wang Junhou hurriedly led the soldiers to retreat, and as for the well cart, the ladder cart was put away for the next wave of soldiers to use.

Let's not mention the soldier on the top, but said that after Wang Junhou came down, Zhang Bao asked Wang Junhou to count the soldiers, and after Wang Junhou went down to count them, his face was ugly and he returned to the report: "General, eighty-two are dead, and one hundred and forty are wounded." ”

The first army was only 550 people, but this round of attack lost half of the men.

Zhang Bao's face was very ugly.

Then Zhang Bao said in a good voice: "In this way, your five teams are not enough. Wang Jun waits for you to lead your troops down to rest, and summons Jin Jun to wait for the top. ”

"No." Wang Jun waited for a promise, and asked the uninjured soldiers to help the injured soldiers to repair in the military village that had been set up next to them.

But said that Dou Mao in the city was actually a little unbearable.

This is not a siege war, this is a defense battle. The mountain road is narrow, and the gate occupies a favorable location. The casualties of the defenders were about one-third of that of Zhang Bao's army.

But his defenders were only 2,000 people, and Zhang Bao's men and horses were seven or eight thousand, not to mention the large army of Guan Ping behind him.

"Hurry up and ask my brother to increase the number of troops by 2,000." Seeing that the situation was like this, Dou Mao said to a confidant beside him.

"No." The henchman agreed, hurriedly got out of the pass, and rode his horse to argue.

said that after Zhang Bao let Wang Junhou go down, he was really ruthless. Three more troops were dispatched, for a total of eight. One by one, the soldiers under their command led them to fill this pass.

There were eight soldiers in all, and each army waited for half an hour, and six or seven hundred people were killed on the spot, and one or two thousand were wounded.

To be honest, Zhang Bao is a little heartbroken, but the effect is definitely there. Zhang Bao looked up at the defense on the gate, which was a little looser.

knew that the other party's soldiers were also consuming at a very fast speed.

"Give me armor. I'm on. When evening was approaching, Zhang Bao finally decided to go in person, he called his own soldiers, and put on a piece of armor outside the armor, wearing double armor.

Then he drew a sharp blade, took his own soldiers under his command, and charged towards Longshan Pass.

"Drumming and cheering !!!" Seeing this, Sima of Zhang Baoying, who stayed behind, asked the soldiers to beat drums and cheer.

"That's the general, shoot him !!!" Dou Mao saw it clearly, so he snored.

"Woo Woo !!!" The archers shot at Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao sneered, and rushed forward with a Han sword in his own hand, and his own soldiers held their shields and stopped in front of him.

Because Zhang Bao attracted the attention of many archers of the Di tribe, the archers of Zhang Bao's army had the opportunity to bend their bows and shoot the opponent's archers.

Soon after, Zhang Bao came to the bottom of the ladder, took the shield of a personal soldier in one hand, and stepped on the ladder car with a sword in the other.

The soldiers of the Di tribe on the gate picked up a stone to smash Zhang Bao, and someone was shot dead by the archers of Zhang Bao's army, and one person threw the stone out, but was knocked away by Zhang Bao with a shield.

Zhang Bao jumped onto Longshan Pass like this, and then held a shield in one hand, thinking about the soldiers of the Di tribe who came bravely, and overthrew several people.

With a sword in one hand, he killed one person. Firmly occupying this fast place, Zhang Bao's soldiers under the city hurriedly cheered when they saw this, and hurriedly climbed the city wall to help Zhang Bao.

"The pikemen stepped forward and stabbed him down." Dou Mao saw that Zhang Bao was arrogant, but he was not vain, he picked up a spear from a soldier with his right hand, and then led dozens of pikemen, and then stabbed Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao resisted for a while, but his footing was unstable, and he retreated from Longshan Pass in embarrassment.
