308th Battle of Jinzhu Pass 1

The 2,500 elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army under Wei Yan's command will launch a night attack on the target Jinzhu Pass three quarters of an hour before the early morning of tomorrow. The direction of the night attack was set in Dongcheng.

Jinzhu Pass limited the time of daily trading outside the city, which was very beneficial to Wei Yan's plan, because the small merchants and vendors who came here to sell goods knew the rules of Jinzhu Pass, and here, no matter how early you came, there was no way to do business. Therefore, the small merchants and vendors in the surrounding areas of Jinzhuguan will only get up after dawn, unlike other places, when the sky is not dawn, they hurriedly carry the goods to the county seat.

"Wei Sima, or let's wait! There has been no news from Fuxian so far, if we launch an attack here in advance, will it affect the plan of action of Gongzi's place? When the adjutant general listened to Wei Yan's ground battle plan, he stood up for the first time and raised his objections.

Strictly speaking, the lieutenant is not wrong.

Compared with Fu County, Jinzhu Pass is of course the most strategically significant Fu County, once it occupies Fu County, it will completely cut off the connection between Guanghan County and Dajian Pass and Chengdu City.

If Wei Yan launched an attack here first, with the strength of his men, it would already be very reluctant to take Jinzhu Pass, and if he wanted to completely block the relationship between here and Fu County, there was news about the fall of Jinzhu Pass, it would be just a fool's dream.

"No, we can't wait any longer! Our army has been hiding here for three days, and if we hide, the chance of exposure will become higher and higher. When I came back in the morning, I noticed that the forest was not in the right condition. I have come to ask you, have you ever seen a forest where you can't even hear a birdsong early in the morning? Two times a day, the people who come and go may not care, but after today, this strange situation will be spread into the city. When Wei Yan heard this, he was not angry, he shook his head and explained.

When the middle-level generals below heard this, they were all shocked, and they forgot about this stubble. During the training of the soldiers, Jin Juecheng said that if you choose the woods to hide the soldiers, you should pay special attention to one point, that is, you can't hide for too long.

The army hides in the woods, and it is bound to scare away the birds and beasts in the forest. Winter can be disguised, but now is before the autumn harvest, which is the most active time for birds.

So far, no one has noticed, but the people are only concerned about their daily livelihood and have not noticed here. Wei Yan's estimate was right, once it exceeded three days, it would inevitably expose the army's travels.

"Besides, you don't believe in Childe, Ben Sima Ke is very confident in Childe's ability. In the past two days, Ben Sima has been thinking about a question, there has been no news from Fu County so far, is it that Gongzi has already taken Fu County, and he is afraid that the news will leak out, but it will affect our army's battle plan. Is it possible that the previous caravan was a spy sent by Childe?

As soon as they saw that Jinzhu Pass was heavily guarded, they did not stay in the local area to trade, but immediately left here by boat and headed for Luoxian. Could it be that he is using this excuse to inform us of this news? You know, no one but ourselves knows what our army is moving against. Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan spoke out the doubts in his heart again.

"Yikes! Wei Sima, when you say this, your subordinates think that there is really such a possibility. You must know that Gongzi led the army to set off three days longer than we found, and in the past two days, except for the caravan you mentioned, there really haven't been any caravans or pedestrians north of Jinzhu Pass coming to Jinzhu Pass. Hearing Wei Yan's reminder, another lieutenant exclaimed.

As a result, the adjutant general's opinion was ignored by everyone. And the captains were digesting the battle plan formulated by Wei Yan as soon as possible.

……

It was night, different from when Jin Jue's troops attacked Fuxian, the night of this day was both a new day and a cloudy day covered with dark clouds, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it by stretching out their hands and not seeing their five fingers, and everyone looked at this ghost weather, and they all felt that it might rain at any time in this thief's day.

However, this kind of weather is the favorite weather of this elite unit specially trained by Jin Juejun. The darker and dreary the night, the more lax the defenders' defenses.

Moreover, once the war broke out, it would be more difficult for the defenders to mobilize the reserves in the city or the defenders of the western city. When it's dark, you can't even see the road under your feet, so how can you talk about timely reinforcements?

As for the defenders lighting torches to light the way, first, the current Shu County is still in peacetime, although Yang Ping Gaoning is very well guarded, but as long as the two do not patrol the city, the general will not be equipped with enough torches.

Second, the golden arm crossbow in Jin Juejun's hand is not a dry meal. As soon as the defenders approach with torches, they will immediately become a live target.

And even more important – night blindness.

This is a common problem of ancient soldiers. If you are not a traverser, you can't solve this problem at all.

It was early in the summer, so at three o'clock in the morning, Wei Yan launched an attack as soon as he gave the order.

This time, under the collective opposition of his generals, Wei Yan had no choice but to stay in the city honestly, watching the other generals lead the first troops, climbing the city rope one by one, and successfully climbed the Jinzhu Guandong City Wall.

Those who have received special training are not the same as those who have not received special training.

First of all, the hundred climbing ropes that were thrown at the head of the city, except for one of them, which was found and cut by his companions because it hit the head of an unlucky defender in time, all the others were successfully hooked to the city wall.

Then, even though the raid was discovered by the defenders in advance, the first group of soldiers climbed the city fast enough, and because it was dark, all the ninety-nine first captains climbed to the top of the city successfully.

There are two in one, and the rest is much simpler.

Finally, the soldiers of the Xiandeng Army who climbed to the top of the city gathered together in groups of three with a tacit understanding, and began to use the waist knives in their hands to clean up the Jinzhu Pass defenders on the east city wall.

At this time, the degree of tacit understanding between the soldiers became the key to this battle, and at night, there were only 1,000 soldiers who stayed on the eastern city wall to defend the city, but in the darkness of the night, they were like blind eyes, panicked and aimlessly waved their weapons around, trying to dispel the fear in their hearts in this way.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain for them to do so, although these elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army would also have a certain restriction of vision in the dark night, but, at the very least, they could still see the outline of the enemy clearly.
