Chapter 411: Reinforcements are coming

The battle lasted until the evening, although the Shu army paid a lot of casualties, it still failed to set foot on the city of Yang'an Pass, Jiang Wei saved a lot of expenses, but his face became more and more solemn,

Jiang Wei probably knows better than anyone the difficulty of attacking Yang'an Pass, although the Wei army defending the city does not have many troops, but with the danger of the city, it seems completely unrealistic for the Shu army to take Yang'an Pass within one day.

In order to take Yang'an Pass, Jiang Wei can be said to have done his best, mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, and attacked the city on a large scale, but the shortcoming of the Shu army is that there are no large-scale siege equipment, and only relying on the tactics of the sea of people to attack the city, it is naturally ineffective.

Although he was mentally prepared in advance, he couldn't take Yang'an Pass, which still made Jiang Wei a little depressed, after all, the gains and losses of Yang'an Pass were related to the deployment of the next military operation, if the Shu army was blocked outside Yang'an Pass and could not enter the Hanzhong Plain, it would inevitably affect the situation in Hanzhong, and the two cities of Hanle garrisoned by Wang Ping and Liu Min would be isolated and helpless, and they would definitely fall into a predicament.

After dark, Jiang Wei ordered the attack to be stopped, after all, after dark, the difficulty of the attack will increase, and the casualties of the soldiers will also increase, so Jiang Wei will not do such a futile thing.

The war is getting more and more stalemate, and it becomes more and more regretful that Li Qiu lost Yang'an Pass, if it wasn't for Li Qiu's loss of Yang'an Pass so easily, it would not have led to such a passive and difficult situation.

Jiang Wei even regretted a little, he had been delayed in Yinping County for too long, if he started the army as soon as he got the news, it would be no problem to travel one or two days in advance, if he could really arrive at Yang'an Pass two days earlier, he would definitely be able to protect Yang'an Pass.

As long as Jiang Wei enters and occupies Yang'an Pass, then the situation in the entire Hanzhong will be completely reversed.

It's a pity that in this world, there are also people who sell medicines, but there are no regret pills, Jiang Wei is late, he is late, and he has no chance to exchange for the time that has been delayed.

The siege on the first day did not achieve the expected results, so if the Shu army attacked the city again, the difficulty would be the same, and it might not be so easy to overcome.

What's even more troublesome is that today's attack on Yang'an Pass has failed, and it will be even more difficult in the future, and if the reinforcements of the Wei army come to reinforce it, the situation will be even worse.

However, fortunately, on the side of the Shu army, the reinforcements from Fucheng should almost arrive, and the troops gathered by both sides in the Hanzhong area will be more and more, and it will eventually evolve into a large-scale battle.

This will be the largest battle between the two sides after Zhuge Liang's six exits from Qishan, and the outcome of this battle will also affect the political situation of Wei and Shu.

Jiang Wei looked up at the deep night sky, and sighed slightly, when he left home and went to Shu, he counted on his fingers, it has been thirteen spring and autumn, from a hot-blooded young man in his twenties to a calm middle-aged man who is not confused, Jiang Wei has experienced ups and downs over the years, which makes him feel a lot of emotion.

If he hadn't taken this step, maybe Jiang Wei would have been able to defend a county now, or even participate in the battle of Shu, although he would not have done anything shocking, but he could also enjoy the joy of family life, and he could also do his filial piety as a son of man.

Jiang Wei's father died in the Qiangrong Rebellion in his early years, and his mother raised him with hard work, Jiang Wei's heart, how could he not want to be filial piety in front of his mother's knees, but he chose this path, and there was no turning back after all.

"A hundred hectares of fertile land, not one acre, but there is ambition, not in Angelica!" This is Jiang Wei's reply to his mother, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, since he chose the road of reviving the Han Dynasty, it is destined to have no chance with filial piety.

This road is undoubtedly lonely, there are many factions within Shu Han, Jiang Wei, as a newly descended Yongliang person, is neither Jingzhou or Dongzhou, nor Yizhou's native system, wandering between various factions, so that he often has a sense of strangeness and alienation, and the prime minister Zhuge who appreciates and reuses himself has passed away, leaving Jiang Wei alone to walk alone.

Adhering to the will of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, waving the Northern Expedition and recovering the Central Plains is undoubtedly Jiang Wei's greatest wish in his heart, but it is a pity that Jiang Wan Fei Yi, who is now in power, does not agree with this, Fei Yi once bluntly said, the prime minister is so talented, he can't recover the Central Plains, I can't wait for the prime minister, how can I achieve this big thing, I can protect the country and the people, and abide by the society, which is already very good.

Therefore, although Jiang Wei has vertical and horizontal talents, he is not appreciated by the imperial court, and the army he leads is just a partial division, which can't help but make Jiang Wei sigh, when can he really wave the Northern Expedition and restore the Central Plains, it is completely far away!

Quelling some Qiangyi rebellions is just a piece of cake for Jiang Wei, there is a feeling of killing chickens and using a knife, but these achievements have also brought Jiang Wei a lot of military exploits, and Jiang Wei's prestige has gradually improved.

In the early morning of the next day, before the Shu army could make any moves, the scouts flew to Jiang Wei, saying that Xiahou Ba had led reinforcements to arrive at Yang'an Pass.

Jiang Wei heard this, standing many have not moved, only with Cao Liang's Yue cavalry battalion of a horse, the Shu army has never conquered Yang'an Pass, and now the Wei army has a large number of reinforcements, and there is little hope.

Jiang Wei didn't want to hit the stone with an egg, so he simply stood still, but in order to lure the Wei army in Yang'an Pass out, Jiang Wei deliberately showed weakness and put on an untidy appearance, showing that he was flawed in the Wei army.

However, Jiang Wei's move may be okay to confuse others, but now his opponent is Cao Liang, how can he be fooled, so even if Jiang Wei is full of flaws, Cao Liang is still standing still, sticking to Yangping Pass, and has no intention of fighting.

Xiahouba led 30,000 troops to reinforce this time, so that the defense of Yangping Pass can be called impregnable, seeing the "flaws" of the Shu soldiers, Xiahouba also had some thoughts, but Cao Liang was not allowed to fight, Xiahouba naturally gave up the idea, and came to guard the city wholeheartedly.

How can Jiang Wei's little trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger be hidden from Cao Liang, as the only general in the late Shu Kingdom, how dare Cao Liang despise him, let Jiang Wei be full of tricks, Cao Liang recognized the principle of not fighting, Jiang Wei was naturally helpless, he could only look at the city and sigh, but wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Fucheng to make a decision.

After a few days, the reinforcements of Fucheng also rushed to the front of Yang'an Pass, this time the leader of the army, not others, is the general Fei Yi, led by the soldiers and horses, there are 50,000 people, and Jiang Wei's soldiers are one, the Shu army is vigorous, take advantage of the momentum, and launch a fierce attack on Yang'an Pass.
