The cold wind swept the snowflakes, swept over the Wuguan, and the inside and outside of the pass were divided into two worlds, yellow and black, and the Shannan Zhou army spent more than a month and finally came to this pass heavily guarded by the Sui army.

Wuguan Guancheng, the north depends on the danger of Shaoxi Mountain, the south is adjacent to the Wuguan River Valley, it is called Shaoxi Pass in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is renamed Wuguan during the Warring States Period.

Crossing the Qinling Mountains to and from the Guanzhong and Shannan Jingxiang land, Wuguan is the place where it must pass, the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, and it is also the place where the Zhou and Sui countries are fighting now, in order to hinder the marching speed of the Zhou army, the Wuguan defenders racked their brains.

Various strategies such as blocking roads, falling rocks, raids, and night raids emerged in an endless stream, but the effect of the tired troops was not very good, and the Zhou army still arrived slowly and firmly outside the Wuguan, and the war was about to break out, and the Sui army was ready.

Wuguan is very important, there is no doubt about it, in order to defend against trebuchets and thunder, the Sui army has rectified the Wuguan city defense in the past two years, the city wall is thickened, needless to say, the arrow tower is moved back and reinforced, and the archers on it do not shoot outside the city, but shoot the head of the city.

A trench was dug in front of the pass and filled with river sand, and it was delusional to dig a tunnel, unless it was deeper than the trench, but no matter how deep it was, it would be stone, and it would not be possible to dig it at all.

The Zhou army attacked the city with trebuchets, and the defenders counterattacked with trebuchets, they could command with the observation post at the head of the city, and the trebuchets were protected by city walls, but the Zhou army could not do this.

If the Zhou army wants to take Guancheng, they have to fill in the lives, and the two sides are confronted, and what if it takes months, the defenders of Wuguan are not alone.

The news of the other party's entry into the Kou has been transmitted westward through Fengsui and Kuaima, and has been transmitted to Chang'an outside the western exit of Wuguan Road, and the Son of Heaven will not sit idly by and watch the Jingshi be in danger, so a steady stream of reinforcements will rush to Wuguan.

The enemy army in front of him was the Shannan Zhou army, and the other party's intention was very clear to the Sui army, that is, to attack Wuguan, create a situation approaching Chang'an, attract the Sui army of the Beijing division, and respond to the main force attacking the direction of Luoyang.

Since it is a response, then the number of troops invested will not be too much, so it can only be consumed here, and the final result is that the Zhou army will not be able to consume and withdraw by itself, so the Wuguan defenders are very confident that they will let the Zhou army return with a feather.

Perhaps because Wuguan was not so easy to attack, the Zhou army was not in a hurry to attack today and continued to build siege equipment, but there was no trebuchet as the defenders imagined.

There are ladder cars, nest cars, and carts, but I haven't seen the likes of pointed wooden donkeys, of course, maybe the production site has been blocked, so it is possible that the defenders can't see it.

But does it make sense?

Several sentries with excellent eyesight stood at the head of the Wuguan wall, trying their best to raise their eyes to look at the Zhou army camp from afar, trying to see if the other party was doing something, but it seemed that it was just like that, and the other party did not build a trebuchet, which made them feel quite surprised.

Don't you think it's useful? Probably not.

The timber hasn't been cut yet, so how many days will it take? Quite possibly.

The sentinels soon discovered that the Zhou army outside the gate was building a strange kind of wooden shelf in the open field, similar to using two bamboo poles to hold a bamboo, the end of the bamboo was on the ground, and the other end was held up by the bamboo pole, aiming in the direction of Wuguan.

The distance between these things is more than the projectile distance of the trebuchet in the city, and they can't be shot with a strong crossbow, so the defenders can't disrupt the opponent's movement, but the farthest attack distance this year is the Zhou army's big crossbow, but these things don't look like it at all.

"Do you want to report this to the general?"

"Retribution? How do you report it? If the general asks what this shelf is, what would you say? Say you don't know? I don't know what you're reporting? ”

"But there are more and more shelves, densely packed."

The sentry was right, there were more and more shelves outside the pass, and the dense crowd looked a little infiltrating, Zhou Jun was definitely not doing this to dry clothes, the only thing that was certain was that it had something to do with the siege.

One person turned around and ran towards the city, but before he ran a few steps, he heard a terrible whistling sound outside, and when he looked back, he saw a ball of fire rising from the Zhou army's position, pulling white smoke like a meteor towards the city.

When they crossed the walls and fell into the city, there was a loud noise and a fire erupted, which made the soldiers at the head of the city commotion, unable to understand what was going on.

Before the team could suppress the bullets, several fires rose on the position of the Zhou army, and they also whistled up white smoke and flew towards the city, still falling into the city and then emitting explosions and fires.

"What kind of magic is this!"

Some soldiers panicked and were reprimanded by the generals, but the other soldiers were also shocked when they saw this scene, and the noise in the city began, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger in the places where the explosions occurred, and many people were fighting the fires.

"Don't panic, this is Zhou Jun's thunder, but..."

The whistling sound started again, and this time more than a dozen fires flew over, and the soldiers of the Sui army could see clearly that they were long sticks similar to the thickness of big bamboos, spitting fire and pulling white smoke over the city wall and falling in the city.

"It's the Zhou army that is going to attack the city, and I'll fight it immediately..."

A general shouted, but before he finished speaking, his voice was drowned out by the noise, and a tidal whistling sound broke out on the position of the Zhou army outside Wuguan, and the entire position was shrouded in white fog out of thin air, and countless fires rushed out of the white fog, whistling and flying into the sky, and falling over the city wall to the city.

It seemed that the heavens were angry, scattering meteors all over the sky, turning into a rain of fire and falling towards the city, and the loud noise kept coming, just like the summer showers falling on the water, crackling and crackling.

The soldiers of the Sui army at the head of the city were frightened like white paper, at a loss, talking to each other, but they could not hear what the other party said, the city was full of fire, everywhere, countless white smoke rose, and the cold wind brought a choking smell.

The generals shouted to prepare for battle, ready to meet the Zhou army's attack on the city, but the movement of the Zhou army's position became bigger and bigger, and the firelight flew towards them like countless disturbing fireflies, not only into the city, but also to the city.

An unfortunate man was knocked down by a thigh-thick stick, which exploded with a thud, sending flames everywhere.

The small flame was about to expand, and the soldiers who arrived rushed to fight it with a mop soaked in water, but the flame seemed to be not afraid of water, and it was also stained with a mop, and someone accidentally got the flame on it, and it was so embarrassed that it was extinguished.

No one had time to wonder what was going on, because more and more things flew over the Zhou army's position, and fires broke out in many parts of the city, and some of the arrow towers that had specially wet the outer walls had already begun to burn.

Fires broke out one after another at the head of the city, and many soldiers turned into fire men, crying for help, and the companions who came forward to help extinguish the fire were soon affected, and the flames spread like a plague, and the scene was chaotic.

Wuguan was shrouded in a rain of meteor fire, turning into a sea of fire, behind the Zhou army's position, wearing armor Shannan Dao Daxing Taiyu Wenliang, looking at the sky-high fire with a calm face, on both sides of him were stunned generals of various departments.

"Daxingtai, Wuguan has been set on fire, do you want to stop the launch?"

"No, according to the pre-planned plan, all the rockets that have been set up have been launched." Yu Wenliang said without hesitation, "Let the soldiers prepare, and attack the city in a while!" ”

"Yes!"

The cold wind blew, bringing with it the choking smell of gunpowder, and Yu Wenliang heard the shouts from the direction of Wuguan from the wind, some wailing, some frightened, and the painful neighing of the war horse.

"The rocket and the flame bottle are really powerful, but..." He muttered to himself, looking a little heartbroken, "It's too expensive..."

"Father, compared to Chang'an, it's all worth it."

One person next to him said that it was Yu Wenliang's eldest son, the governor of Xiangzhou and the prince of Qiguo, Yu Wenming.

"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention Shannanhu?" (To be continued.) )
