Chapter 6: Dangerous Adversaries
PS: There was a local power outage for two days, so ...... )
"Jalon?" Kang Peng took the information sent by the Dark Moon Force Flying Pigeon ambushed in Langzhong and asked strangely, "Who is this Jia Long?" Why is there no impression on this face? "Kang Peng was secretly happy when he saw the information for the first time, Liu Yan let an unknown military general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms be the commander, then it would be much easier for Dong Zhuojun to take Sichuan. But when Kang Peng saw that the intelligence said that Jia Long was Zhang Ren's master, Kang Peng couldn't help but be a little frightened, and hurriedly called Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and Lu Su to ask Jia Long for details.
"Taishi, did you forget?" Jia Xuqi said: "In the past, the five-way army of the imperial court conquered the Qiang people, although the other four-way army failed, but Taishi you returned victorious, but the Yizhou army that came out of the army also retreated, and did not suffer much loss, which was mainly the credit of Jia Long, the pioneer of the Yizhou army at that time. ”
Kang Peng scratched his fat head, he only inherited Boss Dong's body, but he didn't have the slightest memory of Boss Dong, so he would know what Boss Dong had said and done before. Kang Peng said vaguely: "When people are old, their memory is poor, and his affairs are vague, you tell Benxiang in detail about his situation, and Benxiang recalls while listening." ”
Jia Xu glanced at Kang Peng suspiciously, Jia Xu had long been a little suspicious, in the past few years, Boss Dong's personality and temper have changed too quickly, almost overnight, as if he had changed a person, but Jia Xu just held his suspicions in his heart, he didn't want to be this bird, plus Boss Dong is now more close to him, Jia Xu is also unwilling to return to the previous kind of close but not close relationship with Boss Dong.
Fa Zheng and Lu Su both met Dong Boss after Kang Peng possessed Dong Boss's body, so they were not as suspicious as Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, who had stayed in Yizhou for a period of time, replied: "Jia Long, the word Qiande, Yizhou Qianwei, the official residence captain, Ren Qianwei Taishou, is the first general in Sichuan, once participated in the battle against the Qiang people, Nanban and Yellow Turbans, good at defensive warfare and surprise victories, repeatedly made military exploits, and has an army of 3,000 people, known as the Wudang Fei Army, this army is composed of Nanban minorities and Sichuan people, climbing mountains and wading water, Walking on the ground, all of them are excellent in martial arts, they can be ten when they go into battle, they are extremely brave, and they are loyal to Jia Long, although Liu Yan has long wanted to get rid of Jia Long, who has high merit and shocked the master, but he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with this army after killing Jia Long, so he has not dared to start. If our army fights this army, we must be careful. ”
"Although Jia Long is over the age of seventy, he is already seventy years old, but he is as cheap as the ancients, and he should be strong when he is old." Jia Xu added: "This is a dangerous opponent, you must not bully him into old age, you must be careful." ”
Kang Peng nodded, expressing his agreement with Jia Xu's opinion, he was the first time to lead troops to fight, and he didn't understand a lot of things about marching and arranging, so he should be careful. Kang Peng asked, "Then according to your intentions, what should our army do next?" ”
Jia Xu replied: "If Xiaosheng is Jia Long, he will definitely let the ally Hanzhong Army hold on to help, and at the same time, take advantage of the fact that the main force of our army has not yet joined forces with the defenders of Jiameng Pass, and concentrate on attacking our army's relatively empty Jiameng Pass. After analyzing the possible steps that Jia Long might take, Jia Xu said: "According to Xiaosheng, the main force of our army can no longer stay in the city, and should immediately move south to take the Hanzhong granary to relieve the pressure on logistics." At the same time, the troops were divided to reinforce Jiameng Pass, just in case. ”
"Okay." Kang Peng patted his thighs, which were thicker than ordinary people's waists, got up and ordered: "The generals will listen to the order, set off immediately, and take Hanzhong City." Kang Peng also ordered Zhao Yun separately, ordering him to lead 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to bypass Hanzhong and reinforce Jiameng Pass, and be sure to assist Gaoshun Chen Palace and them to hold out until the main force arrived.
Lay down the city solid only two days of rest, Dong Zhuojun's main force set off to the south again, more than 100,000 troops murderously to Hanzhong, Dong Zhuojun's opponents were not idle, Zhang Lu received the news of the defeat in front and Yan Pu, immediately gathered the people outside the city into the city, the city was prepared with more wooden rolling stones, ready to hold on to help, and Zhang Lu's usual benevolent government also played an effect, more than 200,000 Hanzhong people worked together, transported grain and stones, repaired the city and built walls, and defended their homes with the Hanzhong army. On the way to Jiameng Pass in Langzhong, Jia Long's army also arrived in Guangyuan and joined forces with the Lei Tong Department of the Guangyuan garrison.
Jia Long's efforts were not in vain, on September 20 of the third year of Han Chuping, the main force of the Yizhou army finally arrived at Jiameng Pass, and at this moment the main force of Dong Zhuo's army was still half a day away from Hanzhong City, and the reinforcements led by Zhao Yun were nearly a day's journey from Jiameng Pass, and the Yizhou army seized the opportunity in time.
"Attack the city now." After arriving at Jiameng Pass, the Yizhou army set up camp, Jia Long did not let the troops rest, but immediately commanded the siege, "The troops are divided into five teams, each team is 30,000 people, and they take turns to attack Jiameng Pass." ”
In order to encourage morale, Jia Long also gave a speech to the Yizhou army under the banner array, "The sons and daughters of Sichuan, the critical moment to decide that you defend your homeland has arrived, only by taking this Jiameng Pass, can you resist the enemy outside your homeland, if you don't want to be Dong Zhuojun's slave, you want your parents to be killed by Dong Zhuojun, and you don't want your sisters, wives and daughters to be Dong Zhuojun**, fight!" With your blood, you will rather die standing than live on your knees! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill, kill, kill! More than 100,000 soldiers of the Yizhou Army were excited by Jia Long's words, and let out an earth-shaking cry.
With Jia Long's order, the brutal battle immediately began, a team of high-morale Yizhou troops carried ladders, rained down feather arrows and rushed forward, the soldiers in front were shot down, and the comrades behind would not hesitate to step on their corpses to advance forward, and the archers of the Yizhou army also approached Jiameng Pass under the cover of shield players, and fired arrows at the pass to suppress the defenders.
"Shoot the arrows! Keep firing the arrows! Jia Meng closed, Chen Gong calmly commanded the army to arrange defenses, "Hold on to today, and General Zilong's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow!" "In Jiameng Pass, the 10,000 flying bear army led by Wei Yan has all gone into battle, relying on the fact that Guanzhong has already stockpiled enough bows and arrows, arrows, rolling stones and fallen logs to give the Yizhou army a head-on blow; The trapping camp led by Gao Shun did not go to the wall to participate in the defense, but waited in the pass, waiting for orders.
Accompanied by the noisy screams, the sound of bowstring concussions, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air and the dull sound of rolling stones falling to the ground, unconsciously, the defenders of Jiameng Pass Dong Zhuo have repelled the two rounds of strong attacks of the Yizhou army, and the pass is already full of cangyi, and there are bloodstained corpses everywhere, weapons, shields, banners, ladders and arrows are thrown everywhere, and the moat that is six zhang wide and three zhang deep has also been filled with a small half.
Chen Gong saw that the second team of the Yizhou Army began to retreat, and the third siege team was preparing to attack the city, so he immediately ordered: "Trap the camp and attack, kill the enemy's sharp spirit!" ”
The towering drawbridge was quickly lowered, the closed door was quickly opened, and 1,500 heavily armed soldiers of the trapped camp rushed out, shouting and killing the second siege team of the Yizhou Army that had not yet withdrawn, although the armor forged from hemp steel made them a little slower, but also made them ignore the ordinary attacks of the enemy's swords, guns, bows and arrows, just like in the first attack on the Dong coalition army, chasing and killing the enemy several times their own, and no one could be their front.
The trapping camp attack was at the right time, the second siege team of the Yizhou army had not completely withdrawn, the third new force had not been replaced, the formation was in chaos, the trapped camp rushed like this, the formation of the Yizhou army was completely chaotic, the officers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the officers, and trampled on each other on the narrow mountain road, like a group of lambs to be slaughtered, allowing the camp to be slaughtered.
"Teacher!" Zhang Ren rushed up to the hill where the Jia Long Banner Formation was located, pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said: "Report to the teacher, this is the trap camp of the Dong thief, the soldiers are covered with Xuantie armor, the attack is indestructible, the code swords and bows are difficult to hurt, and they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the Central Plains battlefield, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the past were helpless against them, and our army could not resist." Teacher, what should we do? ”
"Is there such a thing? Don't panic, I'll take a look. Jia Long walked out of the flag array, carefully checked the battlefield situation, it was okay not to look at it, and at a glance, Jia Long suddenly smiled dumbly, "There is no one in the Central Plains!" There is nothing to break for the hoplites, what a bunch of wine bags and rice bags! ”
"Teacher, do you have a way to break this trap?" Zhang Ren Daxi asked. Jia Long smiled and did not answer, but beckoned to call the personal soldiers he brought from Qianwei County, Wang Xian and Li Quan, the commanders of the Wudang Flying Army, and explained a few words in his ear, and the two took the order to leave, Jia Long said to Zhang Ren: "Ren'er, wait and see a good show." ”
Gao Shun led the trapping camp to rampage in the enemy formation, and suddenly a strangely dressed army suddenly came to the mountains on both sides of the road, each holding a two-headed tile altar in his hand, with animal skins, a leaf crown on his head, and his clothes were decorated with leaf branches, if he was hiding in the woods, it would be difficult to identify the figure, and climbing the mountain and wading through the water was like walking on the ground, and he shuttled freely on the rugged foothills. The sound of gold sounded in the rear of the Yizhou army, and the Yizhou army, which was fighting with the trapped camp, retreated one after another, giving way to the new army to fight alone with the trapped camp.
Gao Shun saw that the number of this enemy army was relatively small, and immediately ordered to meet the enemy, wanting to destroy this army and then withdraw to Guanzhong, who knew that this army was not in a hurry to fight with the trapped camp, but when there was still a distance, he suddenly shouted, and smashed the crockpot in his hand far away, and the soldiers of the trapping camp were heavily armored and inconvenient, and they did not put the things thrown by this army in their eyes, and immediately many soldiers in the trapping camp were hit by the crockpot, and the black liquid in the crockpot splashed all over their bodies.
Gao Shun was also hit by a crockpot, and saw that the crockpot was filled with some slimy, black and thick liquid, just like black oil, and it also exuded a pungent odor. At first, Gao Shun wondered what the enemy was doing with all this useless work, but when Gao Shun saw the sudden release of rockets in the enemy's formation, he suddenly understood, and he was so frightened that he turned around and ran, shouting frantically as he ran: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”
But Gao Shun reacted too late, once the rocket touched the black water, it immediately burst into flames, which was a cyan flame that could not be extinguished by water, and the poor soldiers in the camp were splashed with heavy armor all over the black water, and their bodies were inconvenient to operate, but they screamed and cried in the flames, and hundreds of soldiers were burned alive by the flames on the spot, and the smell of scorching suddenly filled the battlefield, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.
Gao Shun reacted the fastest, he turned around and ran away when the rocket flew up, plus he was excellent in martial arts, and his speed was also the fastest, he was lucky not to be shot by the rocket, and the other trapped camp fighters who were not hit by the black water were also frightened, and hurriedly fled back to Jiameng Pass, but the trapped camp also suffered defeat for the first time since the establishment of the army, and at least three hundred trapped camp soldiers died tragically in the flames.
"Good burn!" Seeing this, Jia Long immediately recalled the Wudang Fei Army, let them return to the battle to rest, and let the third siege team continue to storm Jiameng Pass, not giving Dong Zhuojun a chance to rest.
The sun was already setting in the west, and the tragic offensive and defensive battle was still continuing, Zhang Ren took the time to come to Jia Long's side and asked, "Teacher, what is in that crockpot?" Why is it able to burn violently? ”
"Paraffin water." Jia Long replied lightly: "Jiazhou, Meizhou, Qingshen, Jingyan, Hongya and Qianwei counties in central Sichuan are all produced, which were accidentally discovered by the people of central Sichuan when they drilled salt wells, and were mostly used to light lamps. (PS: Stone resin water is oil, which was produced in ancient Sichuan, but the first time it was really used on the battlefield was in 578 AD, and this book advances the time of military application.) )
Zhang Ren nodded, but asked strangely: "Teacher, Jiameng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although our army is constantly attacking, it is far from enough to break through the pass, but it is just a waste of military strength, hasn't the teacher thought of another good strategy?" ”
Jia Long's face was expressionless, and he looked at the battle in the distance and said softly: "The current onslaught is just a tired tactic, so that Dong Zhuojun has no chance to rest, and it will take until midnight to break the pass." Jia Long lightly touched the ground with his feet, "Five years ago, when I was holding on to Jiameng Pass, I ordered the soldiers to dig a tunnel in the pass to lead to the outside of the pass, just in case, but I didn't expect that this tunnel would not be used until five years later." ”
Under the sunset, the white-haired Jia Long stood straight, looking at the fierce battle at Jiameng Pass in the distance, watching the bloody battle of the heroic Yizhou army, and listening to the screams of the soldiers when they were dying, Jia Long silently read in his heart: "The athletes in Sichuan, I have wronged you, this is to defend your hometown, protect your relatives, fight." ”
The dark night that Jia Long was looking forward to was finally reluctant to come late, the Yizhou army lit torches and continued to attack the city wave after wave, while Dong Zhuo's army had almost the entire army up to the wall and started a life-and-death struggle with the Yizhou army. At this moment, the Wudang Feijun, who had enough rest, found the tunnel that Jia Long had dug back then, and quietly sneaked into Jiameng Pass through the tunnel......
