Chapter 766 - Three Ways to Cut Shu 1
After a night of rapid marching!
The middle route army led by Li Mushuai arrived at Zigui City unconsciously and quietly on the tenth day of the first month of June.
Out of Zigui City, tracing the river upstream, about 180 miles away, is the eastern gateway of Yizhou...... Fish Complex.
In the territory of Yufu, there is a pass, called Jiangguan!
Jiangguan, also known as Zhuguan and Qutangguan.
Legend has it that it is...... During the Warring States Period, when Ba and Chu were fighting, Chu built a pass to resist the attack of Pakistan.
In the last years of Xinmang and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu first occupied the pass, and then seized Yizhou.
Gongsun Shu, who called himself "White Emperor", also built the White Emperor City on the basis of Ziyang City in Yufu territory.
The White Emperor City is in the same pass, and it is in the north of the river.
During the period of Gongsun Shu's secession, Jiangguan is located on the Chijia Mountain in the north of the river, built by the mountains and rivers, and is the Xiongguan that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Later, at the western gateway of the Three Gorges of the Great River...... At the entrance of Qutang Gorge, south of the river, Qutang Pass was built.
Qutang Pass, also known as Kuimen.
It is the throat artery of the gateway to and from the Shuzhong Basin.
It is no wonder that Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote...... 'The White Emperor is the town of the Three Gorges, and Qutang has passed a hundred prisons. Such verses. [Hundred Prison Pass, in the territory of Hanzhong, built in the Sui Dynasty. 】
Whether it is the pass north of the river or the Qutang Pass south of the river, it is called Jiangguan.
Chijia Mountain, located in the north of the river, the soil and stone on the mountain are red, such as the back of a person, so it is called Chijia Mountain.
Baiyan Mountain, located in the south of the river, is named after the mountain color like white salt.
Under the brilliant and bright sunshine, Chijia Mountain is slightly red, Baiyan Mountain is gray-white, facing each other across the river, one is red, one is wrapped in plain, it can be described as a wonder.
Jiangguan, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is not only a dangerous geographical location; Its strategic location is extremely important!
Those who win the river pass will get the land of Shuzhong!
………………
On the tenth day of June 192, the middle of the hour!
The army of 80,000 people in the middle of the Shu Road sent troops to Zigui City, divided the troops into three routes, and advanced by land and water.
Dian Wei, Deng Zhi, Gao Xiang, and Huo Yi led 20,000 elite foot cavalry to march along the south bank of the river and attack Jiangguan.
Li Mu, Huang Xu, and Gan Ling, with 30,000 sailors, went up the river by boat.
Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, and Zhen Yao led 10,000 Vermilion Bird cavalry and 20,000 elite infantry cavalry to march along the north of the river and attack the White Emperor City.
Dian Wei's Left Route Army, after a night of running, finally arrived ten miles outside the east gate of Jiangguan at the end of June 11.
At this time, above the river pass, there were only 1,000 guards, and the people guarding the pass were ...... It was Pang Le, who escaped from the city capital that day.
It turned out that after Pang Le and Li Yi escaped from the capital, they directly took refuge in Liu Fan.
Although Pang Le is an unknown person, he is also a greedy person for money and profit. However, there were really few available people under Liu Fan's account, so he sent this person to Jiangguan to garrison.
Compared with the Liangzhou army in Jingzhou, Liu Fan was more concerned about the gains and losses of the capital.
Therefore, Liu Fan only left 1,000 people in Pang Le, so that he could defend this pass.
After Pang Le came to Jiangguan, he only cared about drinking for fun, who still remembered Liu Fan's many admonitions, he had already forgotten about it.
Fish begins to rot from the head!
Under the effect of going up and down, the 1,000 soldiers guarding the pass also followed the drinking for fun, and the heavy responsibility of guarding the pass had already been put on the shelf. 20
Just at this time, in the camp tent in the middle of the river pass, Pang Le was holding a snatched woman from a good family, and he was sleeping soundly, and the snoring sound like the howling of a dead pig came out dozens of steps away.
Whether it is in the camp tent in the gate or in the closed corridor, a thousand soldiers guarding the gate are sleeping after the hangover last night.
They didn't think of it at all...... The Liangzhou army was on the way to the raid, and it was only a few thousand steps away from them.
Dian Wei and Deng Zhi had already received ...... from Fengying several times on the way to the march Detailed information about Jiangguan.
Therefore, when 20,000 elite foot riders ...... When he came to the ten miles outside the east gate of Jiangguan, he was ready to raid Jiangguan.
On this day, before dawn, the fog is upright!
At this time...... Under the double cover of night and fog......
Dian Wei and Gao Xiang personally led five hundred Xiaorui death squads, with tools to climb the city, and rushed towards Jiangguan.
Today's fog is really heavy!
When five hundred and two people, all the way to the wall, from the Jiangguan wall...... It was only when I took five or six steps that I realized ...... They have arrived at the Jiangguan Pass.
Dian Wei and Gao Xiang glanced at each other and nodded, everything was silent.
The faces of the two were already murderous, and the killing intent had been decided.
Dian Wei and Gao Xiang, with fifty-six people, took the lead in throwing the flying hook in their hands to the battlement on the Jiangguan Pass.
[Flying hook, an iron hook with three claws, firmly fixed at one end of the long rope. When climbing the city, the end of the iron hook is fixed and thrown to the battlement. 】
After the group pulled the fly hook to make sure they could climb, they climbed up with light and skillful movements.
After seven or eight breaths, Dian Wei and Gao Xiang, together with the fifty-six people, came to Jiangguan quietly without knowing it.
At this time, the Yongdao on the Jiangguan Pass was full of Yizhou soldiers who were sleeping like dead pigs.
Dian Wei and Gao Xiang, who ascended the pass first, drew their knives in their hands, but they did not do anything.
Just in case, they are still waiting for more daredevils...... Climb up to the pass so that you can use your hands at the same time to wipe out the enemy.
Soon!
Half an hour has passed!
All the daredevils under the pass were light and skillful in their movements.
At this time, Gao Xiang had already taken three hundred daredevils to the wall through the horse road, came to the east gate of Jiangguan, and quietly opened the east gate.
The appointed time has arrived.
On the Jiangguan Pass, inside the Guan, Dian Wei and Gao Xiang, with five hundred daredevils, were suddenly killing those ...... Yizhou soldiers who slept like dead pigs.
Outside the pass, Deng Zhi and Huo Yi, with the rest of the elite foot riders, were heading towards Jiangguan.
Many soldiers of the Yizhou Army became headless ghosts in their sleep, and they did not feel pain, so they ascended to heaven in unison.
Want...... They still have to thank the Liangzhou Army.
Dian Wei, Gao Xiang and others, from the east gate of Jiangguan, to the camp tent in Jiangguan Pass, and then to the west gate of Jiangguan, did not wake up a single Yizhou soldier.
Outside the last tent, the rather luxurious tent, stood two tall men covered in blood.
Dian Wei and Gao Xiang stepped into the camp tent one after the other, and unexpectedly dragged the dead pig-like Pang Le and dragged him out of the tent.
The woman from a good family who was bullied didn't sleep all night, and she was not afraid when she saw this scene.
Because, she has nothing to care about.
Outside the tent, before Dian Wei could make a move, Gao Xiang got up and stomped on Pang Le's "people" fiercely.
A pig-killing howl pierced the silence of the moment!
