Chapter 70: The Battle of Huguan (1)
In terms of strength, Dian Wei is not necessarily worse than Lu Bu, but in terms of martial arts, Dian Wei is naturally inferior to Lu Bu. The competition between the two, from the very beginning, the ending was already doomed! And Lu Bu's martial arts also completely conquered this man who killed for his friends, and he willingly became the general of Lu Bu's personal guard.
After accepting Dian Wei as the commander of the guards, Lu Bu also began to lead the army to conquer.
In Bingzhou, there are nine counties under its jurisdiction, namely Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Shangjun! Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, foreign strong enemies outside the state have been constantly invading! Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other alien races invaded the borders of the state when the princes of the Central Plains fell into a melee!
In the fourth year of Zhongping, Hutu and Huhu under the rule of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, and the entire state was in chaos. When Ding Yuan was the assassin of Bingzhou, those alien races were constantly encroaching on the border, and Lu Bu's hometown Wuyuan and Yanmen County were all on the front line against the alien race! Naturally, Lu Bu has also fought with these aliens many times! Because Lu Bu is very brave, he is quite famous among foreign races, and is called "General Fei!" Later, Ding Yuan was ordered by He Jin to lead the Bingzhou army to march to Luoyang! Unexpectedly, the situation in the world changed suddenly! He Jin is dead, Dong Zhuo is in power! It has been several years since Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and replaced him, and the Kwantung princes begged for Dong and so on! In the past few years, the state has changed dramatically.
Today, the state pastor of Bingzhou is Zhang Yang, a fellow villager of Lu Bu. And although Zhang Yang has annexed the state, in fact, the area under his real jurisdiction is too different from the area controlled by Ding Yuan in the past! The Huns rebelled, and no one could put it down! As a result, many parts of the state were under alien rule.
After a few years, when the army set foot on this land again, the hearts of many soldiers were extremely complicated! Although it was only a few years since they left the state! But these years are as long as a century.
"Huguan, the world is dangerous! Because of its topography, it resembles the mouth of the pot, and at the mouth of the pot, a pass is set up, so it is called the pot pass! Huguan has natural hazards, there are Baigu Mountain in the north, Shuanglong Mountain in the south, the two mountains are sandwiched, and Hukou Pass can be described as a pass, and ten thousand people are not open! ”
On the march, Lu Bu introduced the situation of Huguan to Jia Xu and Li Ru, "Now Huguan is guarded by Yang Chou!" After Yang Chou was defeated by me in the battle of the self-shooting dog gathering, he fled to this pot pass, gathered 10,000 soldiers, and strictly guarded the pot pass! ”
Li Ru rode on a relatively thin brown female horse, and the sheep intestine path was full of small stone pits, uneven, riding on horseback, quite bumpy! Li Ru's body rose and fell, but Li Ru didn't care at all, still caressing the short beard with one hand, looking at the steep mountain road and the narrow path, and sighed lightly, "What Wen Hou said is good!" Huguan is dangerous! This time, you can only outwit, not attack! ”
"If you take and merge the state, you will get Jinyang, and if you take Jinyang, you will get the pot pass. This pot pass is so steep, it's really amazing, there will be such a dangerous place in this world......"
Jia Xu rode a tall and mighty black horse, and on that wide horseback, it was not as bumpy as Li Ru, but it was also one after another.
"Wen Hou, I'm afraid there is already a way to conquer Huguan......"
Li Ru said with a smile.
Since the army advanced into Huguan, Lu Bu did not seek them to discuss how to break through Huguan, but between Lu Bu's words, he was quite confident! So Li Ru expected that Lu Bu must have a good plan in his chest.
"Hahaha!"
Lu Bu laughed, "Wen You, Wen He, both of you are the top strategists in the world, can you guess what plan I have to break this pot?" ”
Li Ru and Jia Xu glanced at each other and said in unison, "Zhang Yang? ”
"That's right!"
Lu Bu nodded in praise.
Yes, the reason why he is confident is because of Zhang Yang! I remember that after the defeat of Yang Chou, Lu Bu received a secret letter from Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu also replied to Zhang Yang with a secret letter!
The content of the secret letter, except for Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, no one else knows! But it was precisely because of this that Lu Bu was a little sure in his heart, some thoughts in the heart of his fellow countryman Zhang Yang!
I haven't seen you for a few years, but the love is still there.
Kettle off.
Yang Chou stood on the tall city wall of Huguan, looked at Lu Bu's corporal who came from afar, and sneered disdainfully, "Forgive me for being brave!" Under this pot, even if you have all the skills, you will never be able to conquer such a dangerous place! ”
Yang Chou didn't say it out of thin air.
Although Lu Bu has tens of thousands of troops, the steepness of Huguan can only discourage Lu Bu! Even if there are many people, every time they attack Huguan, there are no more than a thousand soldiers! Because of the narrow road, it is simply impossible for tens of thousands of troops to attack at the same time! It is precisely because of this that Yang Chou is not afraid at all! As long as he guards the precipitous place of Huguan, even if Lu Bu comes with more troops, what can he do?
According to Shouxiong Pass, Yang Chou's confidence is naturally full.
It's just that Yang Chou still underestimated Lu Bu's determination to take the Huguan, and also underestimated the bloodiness of Lu Bu's soldiers! On the second day after arriving at Huguan, Lu Bu carefully observed the situation in Huguan and felt that Huguan was precipitous! Even if an army of hundreds of thousands comes, it will be blocked from the Huguan! Only a few thousand soldiers can be allowed to capture the pot pass at a time! However, the danger of Huguan is steep, but it is not without weaknesses! At least the walls are much less sturdy! There are no trenches, high ramparts, arrow towers, and towers. Even the city walls are made of rammed earth! No obstacles such as moats! In terms of solidity alone, it is still slightly inferior to Huai County in Hanoi County.
Of course, Huguan is not as strong as Huaixian, but it is steep, far more than Huaixian! The art of war is cloudy, the time and place are favorable! With the danger of this terrain, Huguan wants to conquer it, and I don't know how many soldiers will be damaged!
On the second day of arriving at Huguan, Lu Bu deployed the whole army, and after the morning meal, he rested for a while, and then ordered to attack Huguan.
Standing on top of the high nest car, condescending, Lu Bu could see the scene on Huguan City! After a drum beat, all the soldiers stepped forward bravely! The spearhead of the first siege battle was Hou Cheng! The subordinates are all the elites of the state who followed Lu Bunan's expedition to the north!
Originally, Xu Rong wanted to ask for orders to attack the city, but Lu Bu did not agree. When attacking Hanoi, Xu Rong's Xiliang army was the main force attacking the city! There are quite a lot of casualties! And the state army, but there are very few casualties! There are already some rumors in the army! Now the battle of Huguan is naturally extremely tragic, even Lu Bu is reluctant to let these elites who have followed him for several years, but there will be casualties in the battle! It is impossible for him to let the Xiliang army fight any tragic battles because he is reluctant. Otherwise, wouldn't his own words of treating everyone equally become empty words?
"Put!"
Above the Huguan, Yang Chou looked at the soldiers who kept pouring in under the city, and the high banner of the word "Lu" made him seem to recall the unbearable escape experience in the battle of shooting dogs. For these people, they naturally hate them to the extreme, and they can't be shot to death! Order! The crossbowmen who were guarding the city bent their bows and arrows one after another, and a rain of arrows poured away from the city.
