Jiameng Pass, located between two mountains, curbs the traffic artery from Shu County to Hanzhong.

The mountains on both sides of Jiameng Pass are steep, after the efforts of dozens of generations of princes for thousands of years, the original slopes of the mountains on both sides of it have become cliffs at this time. If you want to enter and exit Shu County and Hanzhong, you can only pass through Jiameng Pass.

Climb over the mountains on both sides of the Jiameng Pass?

It's only suitable for solo warriors, just playing in the mountains.

Of course, if you really detour along the Yangtze River to the Central Plains, you can also enter Hanzhong from Jingxiang; Or, go directly west out of Qishan, detour to Liangzhou, pass through Guanzhong, and reach Hanzhong from Baochuan Road or Meridian Valley.

It's just that in Zhuge Liang's memory, no one seems to have done this!

Therefore, as long as Jia Mengguan is contained, Liu Zhang can only look at Hanzhong and sigh.

The wall of Jiameng Pass is very majestic.

It is located on the slope between the two mountains, the wall is as high as fifteen zhang, and the mountain is steep, it looks no less than twenty zhang. The wall is tall, whether it is from the direction of Hanzhong to attack Jiameng Pass, or from the direction of Shuzhong to attack Jiameng Pass, it has always been very difficult.

This is also the reason why Zhang Ren's 50,000 Shu troops attacked Jiameng Pass for more than half a month, but they could not capture this pass.

In the previous life, the original owner Zhuge Liang galloped to help Shuzhong in the starry night, and it was at this level that he witnessed the battle between the two fierce men, and thus also knew the fierce power of Jin Ma Chao; Then, the original owner made a little trick and recruited Jin Ma Chao, one of the future five tiger generals, for the lord.

Because of this, the first war made Jia Mengguan famous, and the story of Zhang Fei's night battle against Jin Ma Chao has also been passed down for thousands of years.

It's just that at this time in this life, Zhang Lu has been destroyed, and Jia Mengguan is about to fall into the control of the lord Liu Bei, and Jin Ma Chao is still in Xiliang at this time to help his father attack Liangzhou.

……

Wei Yan took five thousand light horsemen to escort Zhuge Liang into the customs slowly.

In the city, there was a lot of mess, many disabled soldiers and civilians were lying in a corner so casually, and there were some wounded soldiers, looking up at this new army curiously, but they were only curious.

In their eyes, Zhuge Liang didn't see the breath of half-life.

These wounded seem to have become numb.

Jiameng Pass has experienced more than half a month of fighting, even if this pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the defenders still have casualties every day. Those who died on the spot were just a hundred, but these survivors of the wounded were the most painful.

If it is in another city, if there is still backup, the wounded soldiers can still be treated.

Even if the survival rate of wounded soldiers in this era is extremely low, and there are medical officers to treat them, the wounded soldiers can still see the hope of survival, right?

However, in Jiameng Pass, these wounded soldiers could not be treated.

The troops of Jia Mengguan are already stretched, and even the people have gone to the battlefield on the wall, who has the spare strength to treat these wounded soldiers?

The wounded soldiers who survived the battle, and people died every day.

The tragic end was already predictable, and where did the wounded soldiers dare to hope for survival?

From time to time, sergeants would carry out a few dead bodies in a corner and throw them on a wagon, ready to be dragged out of the wall and buried. At this time, although it is late autumn, the corpse has been left for a long time, and it is still easy to produce plague.

Looking at these numb wounded soldiers, Zhuge Liang inevitably felt a little compassionate.

In other words, the reason why these wounded soldiers in Jia Mengguan can only wait for death is that they also have the sins of Zhuge Kongming.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhuge Kongming strongly recommended the lord to attack Hanzhong, so that Zhang Lu could only be trapped in Hanzhong City, how could Jiamengguan just fight alone, and even had no reinforcements and necessary medical treatment?

Of course, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to take responsibility for this problem.

However, the treatment of these wounded soldiers can be urgent.

"General Liao, how many wounded soldiers are there in the pass?"

Zhuge Liang stood in the open space in the city and asked Liao Hua.

"How many wounded soldiers there are, this last general really doesn't know. Every day there are big battles, every day there are battle losses, and every day the wounded soldiers die. The last general was dragged to the wall every day to defend, and there was no spare energy to pay attention to the problem of wounded soldiers. ”

Liao Hua replied bitterly.

Jiameng Pass is a closed city, there are only garrisons and people in the city, and there may be some business travelers temporarily living or passing by in peacetime. But after the advent of the Great War, there were only defenders and civilians left in Jiameng Pass; Not even a medical officer.

"However, most of the surviving soldiers of Jiamengguan are already here at this time."

Looking at the soldiers gathered, Liao Hua said with a wry smile.

……

At this time, Wei Yan had already led his troops to take over the defense of Jiameng Pass, and the defenders of Jiameng Pass did not care whether Wei Yan was friend or foe at this time.

The surviving defenders also gathered in the open space in the pass, not that they wanted to be unfavorable to Zhuge Liang.

They're just curious.

When Wei Yan took over the customs defense, he left the fifty old subordinates he brought from Changsha to Zhuge Liang as temporary guards.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang does not have to worry about his own safety.

Besides, Liao Hua has already fallen, and there will be no more trouble in the future.

Looking at these remaining guards, even if they were only fighting for Zhang Lu before, Zhuge Liang had to maintain his respect.

There are not many of them, at most a thousand.

This is a small number of garrisons for a Xiongguan.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't come in time, this little force would have been able to hold Jiameng Pass for a few days, and Liao Hua wouldn't dare to guarantee it.

Moreover, these people were all in disarray, their clothes and armor were torn, and many even looked like they had been burned by smoke and fire. These people looked at Zhuge Liang with a sense of happiness after surviving, and they also had some curiosity.

In other words, in the war of this era, any army with a battle loss of more than 10% will inevitably have low morale, which may lead to instability in the morale of the army; If the battle losses exceed 20%, the army must withdraw from the battlefield to recuperate, otherwise it may collapse at any time.

The battle losses are more than fifty percent, and in all the examples of wars throughout the ages, it seems that no army has been able to do it!

But the defenders of Jiameng Pass are likely to have lost eighty percent of the battle, right?

Of course, these war losses are more from those people who were forced to participate in the war.

……

Glancing at the surviving defenders one by one, Zhuge Liang cast an encouraging look.

These people are really the remnants of a hundred battles, and they have not collapsed with such a large battle loss, and they can already be regarded as the elite of the elite. As long as they are allowed to rest for a while and replenish themselves, they will be a strong army again.

Therefore, it is also very necessary to win the morale of these remnant troops.

As for how to win the hearts of these remnants, the treatment of those wounded soldiers can just make these veterans who have survived a hundred battles watch.

"Now, since our army has taken over Jiameng Pass, the treatment of wounded soldiers is urgent. General Liao, you can take people and carry all the wounded to the open space in front of you, so that you can cast a spell for treatment. ”

Looking at these veterans who had survived a hundred battles, Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and commanded Liao Hua beside him.
