"Up, up, up—"

"Hurry!"

Under the walls of the pass of Pigao Pass, the 100-man generals of the Shang Shui Army commanded the soldiers of their respective 100-man teams, set up the ladder on the wall, and then urged the soldiers to climb along the long ladder to the top of the pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the wall, the Han soldiers guarding the pass had already discovered the Wei army's attempt, and were shouting loudly, trying to cut off the part of the upper end of the ladder that hooked the battlement, and destroy the ladder used by the Wei soldiers to climb the wall.

However, the Han soldiers on the wall often did not cut a few swords, and were provoked to the ground by the Wei crossbowmen on the well cart outside the pass.

This is the opportunity that this surprise attack brought to the Wei army - because they did not receive the warning, a large number of Korean soldiers had been resting in the barracks in the pass before, so that when the Wei crossbowmen on the well car outside the pass launched a crossbow bolt on the Pigao Pass, the only defenders on the pass were suppressed by the Wei army at once, and could not form an effective counterattack.

However, the advantage brought by the surprise attack of the Wei soldiers could not last long, and as more and more Korean soldiers poured into the high wall from the pass, the advantages and disadvantages of this battle would gradually level out, and eventually evolve to the side of the Korean army.

After all, the South Korean army is the one guarding the pass, and it has the natural advantage of the leather pass.

And to conquer Pigao Pass before the Korean army can regain its inferiority, this is the intention of the Wei army to launch this surprise attack - at least for now, the Wei army's advantage is still very large.

"Tell the first team to speed up!"

In the front battle, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, urged again. "Note: The first to climb refers to the death squad that is the first to climb the enemy city in the battle. From a tactical point of view, the morale of the attackers in the first wave of siege was high, so they would generally send elites, so the first troops generally referred to the elite in the army. For example, Kojiyi's "first camp."

It is no wonder that Wu Ji is so anxious, because the sneak attack planned by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, has brought a great advantage to their Wei army, otherwise, according to common sense, it is impossible for the Wei army to attack the pass in an all-out way, and the Han soldiers in the pass have just lined up to defend the pass.

It is precisely because of the great advantage that Wu Ji is also under great pressure in his heart.

He didn't dare to imagine how he would go back and explain to His Royal Highness King Su if he still couldn't overcome the leather prison in front of him under such an advantageous situation.

"No! We will definitely be able to overcome this pass!'

Shaking his head, leaving the restlessness in his heart behind, Wu Ji took a deep breath and began to concentrate on directing the battle: "Go to the second team first, go on!" …… Crossbowman, change flat shot to projectile, target, Sekinai! ”

With Wu Ji's general order, the Wei crossbowmen on the six wells outside the pass no longer aimed at the Guanshang flat shot, because before that, with the help of their crossbow arrows, many of the Wei army's infantry had climbed the wall from the ladder, if they aimed at the Guanlou at this time, because the line of sight was blocked by the smoke from Yishan, it was easy to cause accidental injury to friendly troops.

Therefore, the crossbowmen of the Wei army on the well car changed their flat shot to a projectile, fine-tuned the angle upward, and tried to use a salvo to cover the inside of the wall, and cover the wall with a rain of arrows, so as to slow down the speed of the Han soldiers in the barracks in the pass to defend the wall.

For a time, the Korean soldiers in the customs area were killed and wounded one after another.

Due to the fact that this autumn rain is still continuing, the Korean soldiers in the pass who are quickly running towards the direction of the wall to support cannot avoid the rain of arrows from the sky above the front as they usually do, so they can only hold a shield on their heads and support the wall with the rain of arrows.

After this news reached the ears of the Han general Jin Huang, it made the Han general extremely annoyed, because in his opinion, these were unnecessary or avoidable casualties.

If they had learned the warning of the Wei army's attempt to sneak up on the Pigao Pass in time, and let the soldiers wait solemnly at the pass wall as soon as possible, they would never have the disadvantage in front of them - the wall did not have enough manpower to organize a counterattack, and a large number of Korean soldiers were killed by the Wei army's crossbow arrows in vain.

These are soldiers who died in vain, and they are senseless sacrifices on the battlefield.

This is a dereliction of duty as a general!

"......" Jin Di clenched his fists and stared at the Wei army outside the pass with a hideous expression.

He forced himself to calm down, after all, if even he couldn't calm down now, then in this war, their South Korean army would no longer have the possibility of recovering its disadvantage.

"The main threat lies in the Wei army's wells......

He stared at the wells outside the gate, thinking about how to destroy them.

Thinking of this, he said categorically: "Those wells must be destroyed!" ”

At this time, there were three generals standing behind Jin Di, and after hearing Jin Di's words, one of them immediately clasped his fists and said: "General, the last general is willing to lead an elite army out of the customs and destroy the Wei army's well car!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another general stood up and said in a deep voice: "At present, there are Wei soldiers outside the city, and the soldiers under your command are all infantry, and they can't rush out at all, so leave it to me." …… General, please send my cavalry out of the pass! ”

Jin Di glanced back at the cavalry general, a few hints of relief flashed in his eyes, and a hint of gloom, he said in a low voice: "Gao Yang, you must know that although you and the cavalry team under your command rushed to the ground, they may not be able to kill again...... The Wei soldiers on the other side were not the rabble of the Wei State's 'Northern First Army'. ”

"The last general knows that it was the Xiongshi of Wei who defeated the Chu State." The cavalry general named Gao Yang said with a smile: "To be able to die in the hands of such a strong army is not to disgrace my generation." ”

Jin Huang couldn't help but be a little moved, and after pondering and weighing, he patted Gao Yang's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "If you insist on going, I have an idea...... " As he spoke, he stepped forward and whispered a few words in Gao Yang's ear, only to hear the latter's eyes brighten, and his face was even more joyful: "With such a clever strategy as the general, the last general will be more sure in his heart!" ”

As he spoke, he hugged his fists towards Jin Huang and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, a trace of unbearability flashed in Jin Di's heart, and he raised his hand and shouted, "Gao Yang! …… Come back alive, and I will pour wine for you myself. ”

The rider Gao Yang glanced back at Jin Huang and smiled heartily.

"Ahh

"......" looked at the departing general Gao Yang, and Jin Huang was upset for no reason.

In fact, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Di said in a deep voice: "The well car outside the gate will be handed over to Gao Yang; Even if it's for him, we have to defend the wall to the death! ”

The nearby soldiers nodded emphatically.

And at this moment, a Han sergeant covered in blood hurriedly ran over and knocked on the ground: "General, the Wei army has been killed on the wall, and General Sun Bi is difficult to care about, ask for support!" ”

"I'll go!"

Without waiting for Jin Huang to speak, the infantry general behind him ran to the wall with his weapon, and shouted loudly as he ran: "You, you, you, you, follow me!" ”

"Yes!"

Jin Huang glanced at the infantry general who had left, and once again focused his gaze on the Wei army outside the pass.

Since the outside of the pass was shrouded in smoke from Yishan, which cut off the line of sight, Jin Huang could not see the true number of Wei troops at a glance, and he could only make a rough estimate.

Due to the narrow terrain of the sheep intestine valley road outside Pigao Pass, Jin Huang thought that the number of Wei troops who came to attack this time would not be too much, after all, for the Wei army, which could only dispatch nearly a thousand soldiers in a wave of offensive, it was completely unnecessary to come with more troops.

Therefore, counting the Wei army's eight wells, Jin Huang thinks that the first wave of the Wei army's attack on him was probably about 3,000 to 4,000 troops.

Considering that attacking a fortified city is the most likely to affect the morale of both the enemy and the enemy, the besieging side will generally only launch two or three waves of offensives.

Generally speaking, as long as the defender can hold three waves of offensive, then the morale of the attacker will be greatly reduced, and at that time, there will be no improvement in attacking again.

The experienced Jin Di knew this very well, and he also believed that Ji Run, the prince of Wei opposite, also knew this.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Jin Huang to calculate the number of Wei soldiers who came to attack this time: between 8,000 and 12,000.

I have to say that Jin Huang's judgment is quite accurate, because the Wei soldiers dispatched by Zhao Hongrun this time are exactly between 8,000 and 12,000, 10,000.

Some people may wonder why Zhao Hongrun only sent 10,000 soldiers when he had 100,000 soldiers under his command.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the terrain outside the Pigao Pass limits the number of troops invested by the attacker, a wave of offensive is at most more than a thousand soldiers, three waves of offensive, that is, four or five thousand, plus the number of Wei soldiers in eight wells, the number of soldiers invested by the Wei army in this battle is actually about seven or eight thousand.

Why set aside 2,000? It was just that Zhao Hongrun considered the possibility of not being able to successfully conquer Pijiao Pass, so he reserved it for the army to break off when the whole army retreated, so as to prevent the Korean soldiers from pursuing.

Regardless of whether or not this prison can be conquered in the end, this amount of troops is enough, and even there is still a surplus.

Time passed little by little.

As the Han soldiers in the pass quickly supported the wall, the previous advantages of the Wei army were gradually leveled, and the Han soldiers on the wall took advantage of the local advantage of the force to gradually push the Wei troops who climbed the wall to a desperate situation.

And just when the Han soldiers on the wall were ecstatic, thinking that they could drive the enemy back to the gate, suddenly, there was a loud bang in their ears.

"Bang-"

A thick plank of wood fell heavily on the battlements of the closed wall.

"Huh? …… Wei Jun's well car, when will it ...... So close?'

Hearing this loud noise, a 100-member Korean army general turned his head to look outside the pass, and his limbs were suddenly cold in shock.

Originally, when the Han soldiers on the upper floor of the pass were fighting with the Wei soldiers who used the ladder to climb the wall, the six wells and carts lined up outside the Pigao Pass were finally pushed by the Wei soldiers who were only about ten zhang away from the wall.

Immediately, the hanging plate was lowered on the shaft trucks and the other end was erected on the closing wall.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the Korean generals on the wall suddenly turned pale.

Because on the compartment of the well cart not far away, there was a dense crowd of Wei infantry, and the gang seemed to have seen their prey, and their eyes became as fierce as wolves.

"Kuya!"

The Korean generals lamented in their hearts.
