In the south of the dilapidated Baisha Pass, a camp is like a wall to the official road in the north-south direction 'blocking and slashing', the terrain in front of the village is narrow, the east and west sides are steep and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this is the Huangzhou military camp, to fight to block the enemy army in the south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The history of Baisha Pass is not short, it was built in the Liang State of the Southern Dynasty, it is the governance of Shazhou Prefecture, leading Jianning and Qi'an two counties, since then there has been continuous war, if the Huangzhou army can not hold here, there will be no checkpoint behind.

In the second year of Liang Guotianjian, Liang general Wu Ziyang divided his troops into three ways to the north, and Wei general Yuanying fought in Baisha, defeated after more than 1,000 people, and then Shazhou was based on Wei, and sent troops to be stationed here, making Liang Guozhou County at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain rumorful.

Time passed, after the fall of the Qi State, the Zhou State attacked Chen Guozhou County, and although the state was abolished after occupying this place, it still set up a garrison in Baisha Pass, in order to protect the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Zhou and Sui clashed, Baisha Pass became a battlefield again, and now, a battle broke out outside Baisha Pass again, but now both sides of the enemy and us were originally Zhou troops.

Not long ago, the imperial court issued a document to crusade against the rebel Yu Wenliang, and the imperial army immediately went south to attack Huangzhou, Shannan.

Xie Xu, the general of Kaifu, was ordered to lead 2,000 soldiers south to cross the Dabie Mountain, and together with the friendly troops who had arrived outside Baisha Pass, he joined forces with a total of 3,000 troops to attack Baisha Pass.

The front soldiers and horses had already broken through Baisha Pass, but they were repelled by the reinforcements of the Huangzhou Army, and the other party tried to resist stubbornly in the south of Baisha Pass, but in Xie Xu's view, it was just a mantis arm as a car

There is a trench in front of the Huangzhou military camp, there is a rammed earth wall, and there is a counterweight trebuchet in the wall, and there is a thunderstorm, and it is conceivable that it will be very difficult to attack, but Xie Xu is fully prepared here, and the number of trebuchets erected is comparable to that of Guannai.

Over the years, the craftsmen have been able to build a wheeled trebuchet that can be set up in a clearing away from the defenders and then pushed forward to reach the projectile position.

At the same time, there are also built trenches and wooden donkeys to push forward, and in addition to the soldiers pushing carts, there are also heavy thunderstorms, as long as they reach the root of the wall, they can carry out a direct attack on the wall.

Of course, the defenders also have thunderstorms, and it is conceivable that the casualties of the soldiers attacking the village will not be small, but the casualties of the defenders will not be low, because the thunderstorms of the attackers are very sufficient.

The trebuchet threw not all stone bullets, but also the thunder that ignited the fire twist, although it often exploded early or delayed, but the power of attacking the city wall was still very amazing, and it was precisely because of the transportation of these weapons that Xie Xu's march slowed down, and it was only now that he began to attack Baisha Pass

After sharpening the knife and chopping wood, after everything was ready, Xie Xu ordered an attack, and he was confident that he would take the Huangzhou military camp within two days, and take the lead in attacking the boundary of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain before other generals.

Baisha Pass is more than 100 miles southeast of the state, is the south of Dingzhou Prefecture to govern the Mongolian cage, if to the south less than 100 miles, is the Beijiang Prefecture to govern Lucheng Pass, this time the army went south to the five roads together, not a feint attack but the main attack, Xie Xu made up his mind to take the lead first.

"Command, drums, attack!"

。。。。。。

Loess Pass, guarding the north-south valley, controlling the north-south passage, the east and west sides of the city are high mountains, if the enemy attacked, can only launch an offensive in the narrow area in front of the pass, and the trebuchet and thunder of the defenders have long been ready.

Half a month ago, the defenders were attacked by an enemy disguised as merchants, but thanks to the well-trained soldiers on weekdays, the well-armed personnel in the pass, and the high vigilance, the other side did not succeed.

The main force of the enemy army that followed launched an attack on the Loess Pass, both sides had trebuchets and thunderbolts, so the battle was very fierce, the walls of the Loess Pass collapsed in several places, but in the end they all repelled the enemy's attack.

Yesterday, 500 new reinforcements arrived, bringing food and thunder and other materials, the morale of the defenders was high, vowing to stick to the pass to block the enemy's southward footsteps, early this morning the soldiers were preparing to meet the battle, but were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Although it is the flag of the Zhou State, the defenders know that it is not their own flag, and there are not only flags on the hills on both sides, but also many people.

There are plants and trees all over the mountains, could it be that you are looking away and treating the plants and trees as people? No, because these people condescended and fired rockets at the Loess Pass at the foot of the mountain.

In the north-south valley, there is a gentle south wind at this time, and the rockets fired from the mountains on both sides fly like fireflies, but most of them are blown crooked by the mountain wind, and in fact, not many can fall into the loess pass.

But the other party's purpose is not here, but to tell the defenders bluntly: a group of big living people are here, and your flanks are not protected.

Although the sky rocket was blown crooked, as long as it was not blind, it was known that the archers on both sides of the mountain added up to no less than two thousand, and the other party only needed to go south slowly, and he could go around to the south side of the Loess Pass and make a north-south attack.

Although the two sides of the loess pass are steep, but slowly climb can also be crossed, if the defenders are sufficient, they can divide their troops to intercept, but now not only there are thousands of people on both wings to outflank, even the enemy army in front, they may not be able to deal with it.

The team that was still more than a thousand people before, but now it has suddenly doubled like a trick, although the other party may use the method of multi-tree banners to bluff, but since it can divide thousands or so of troops to outflank, I am afraid it is really a large-scale increase in troops.

The enemy's previous attack seemed to be nothing more than scratching the itch in the boots, and the defenders thought it was a feint attack by a partial division, but now it seems that the other side is just confusing them, delaying the time for the main force to arrive, and then outflanking them overnight.

Just when the defenders were panicking, the camp outside the pass suddenly sounded the drums, more than ten cavalry rode forward, ventured into the pass, and shot a letter of persuasion to the pass, the content was very simple, to the effect that surrender and live, and stubborn resistance would die.

The cavalry turned back to the camp after shooting the surrender book, most of them carried arrows, but it was not a big problem to have armor protection, and after the commander, Shi Xun, the general of the Zhu State, got his return, he looked at Guan Lou with a clairvoyant mirror and then put it away, full of disdain.

Seeing this, a subordinate general asked, "Jiexia, are you going to attack now?" ”

"Okay, bluff first and add fuel to the fire on them!"

"Then what if the other party insists on not surrendering?"

"Not surrendering?" Shi Xun smiled when he heard this, "If you don't surrender, you can abandon the pass and escape." ”

"Hahahaha!"

The generals on the left and right laughed, and by now, their advantage was already obvious, and the other party had been foolishly thinking that their previous attack was a feint, but it was too late to understand it.

Their own soldiers and horses rushed to Gwangju from Bozhou, responsible for attacking the Loess Pass, the road leading to the Loess Pass was rugged and difficult, they in order to transport the baggage, opened the road, built the bridge and spent half a month to arrive at the vanguard camp in front of the pass, and then sent troops to climb the mountain overnight to outflank the two wings.

Although many people were killed, as long as the defenders could be forced to surrender or disperse, the siege of the city was omitted, and more casualties could be avoided.

It is only morning now, if the defenders do not know each other really to resist stubbornly, they are confident that they can take the loess pass before sunset, and break through the loess pass, it is only more than 100 miles away from the south of Dingzhou Prefecture Zhimeng cage and Beijiang Prefecture Zhilucheng Pass.

Shi Xun looked at the sky and ordered the first round of attack to begin, his speed should be fast, because the strategy set by the prime minister this time is to advance in five ways and attack the five passes of Dabie Mountain at the same time, his marching speed is a little slow, and now his actions are not good, I am afraid that he will be preempted by other troops.

"Order, attack immediately, let these bunnies surrender early!"
