Chapter 48: Absolute Suppression

Jia Meng Pass is an important checkpoint on the Golden Bull Road, according to legend, when Qin Huiwen King cut Shu no road, special people do five stone cattle, words can gold, deceive the King of Shu, after the King of Shu heard the news, he really sent people to open the way to lead it, there is a road between Qin and Shu, this road is also nicknamed the Golden Bull Road by later generations, after hundreds of years of repair, this Golden Bull Road is also a main road into Shu, the army enters Shu, will pass Jia Meng.

The sky is slightly bright, the precipitous city of Jiamengguan is bathed in the faint morning light, looking at it from afar, the clouds and mist are swirling, the mountains are stacked, the scenery is picturesque.

A Shu soldier leaned his spear on the female wall on one side, facing the rising sun, stretched his waist comfortably, the long night has passed, it is almost time for the changing of the guard, and it is a calm and peaceful day.

Over the years, when Liu Yan entered Shu, there was a dispute with the Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang's remnants, but at that time, Ma Xiang had been killed by Jia Long, and the scale of the war was not large, and it quickly subsided, and it didn't have time to spread to Jiameng Pass.

The low sound of the horn sounded continuously, and the soldiers who had slept soundly all night woke up from their sleep, quickly put on their armor, and began the necessary patrols and simple drills for the new day.

Liu Yan knew that the troubled times were coming, so after a little stabilization, the first thing he did was to collect military power and train the combat power of the Shu army, especially after Ye Zhao became the master of Hanzhong, Liu Yan also paid special attention to the three passes, even if Jia Meng Pass was between Baishui and Zitong, it was the safest line of defense, and the daily inspection never let go.

Jia Meng Guan guard is a general who followed Liu Yan in Youzhou in the past, named Zhang Yi, the reputation was not obvious, and the ability was not much, the only advantage is the duty, as Youzhou followed his old subordinates until now, and he has experienced a lot of wars, Liu Yan was promoted to captain after sitting firmly in Yizhou, responsible for the guard of Jia Meng Pass.

The sky seems to be darkening a bit.

Zhang Yi, who was standing on top of Guancheng and was about to leave, subconsciously glanced up at the sky, and the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly.

The morning sun is rising, sprinkling thousands of golden rays, and the morning light that lingers between the mountains and mountains is rapidly dissipating, and the sky that should be clear is suddenly covered by dense huge UFOs, blocking the sunlight.

It looks like a huge lantern with baskets hanging from underneath, slowly approaching this direction.

"What is this?" Zhang Yi looked at this scene in shock.

Not only him, but the soldiers of Jia Meng Pass were also shocked and inexplicable when they looked at the flying object that suddenly appeared in the sky above Jia Meng Pass.

"General, look, there's someone up there!" One of the chiefs came back to his senses and suddenly pointed to a nearby 'lantern' and exclaimed.

At this moment, these flying objects have been unconsciously approaching, and on the hanging basket under the lantern, you can vaguely see people observing from above.

"What?" When Zhang Yi heard this, he hurriedly looked at it, and also found that there were real people among the hanging baskets, and they were not ordinary people, and the knives and guns refracted a chilling luster under the light of the rising sun.

"It's not good, it's the enemy army, sound the horn, prepare for battle!" When Zhang Yi saw clearly that the small flags hanging above the flying objects were, his face couldn't help but change, it was the military flag representing Ye Zhao's forces, and it was obviously not a good thing to appear here at this moment.

"Woo~woo~" The desolate horn sounded again, but it was a little more urgent and majestic than the continuous sound before!

When the officers and men of Guanzhong heard the news, they quickly walked up to the city wall, the stones and rolling logs were ready, and the catapults and crossbows were wound one after another, but the next moment......

"General, our crossbows can't shoot!" A soldier looked at Zhang Yi and said astringently.

The crossbow is also a giant crossbow, one of the few left in the first Qin, it takes two people to operate, and the crossbow can be opened with a foot pedal, but this kind of crossbow is huge, and it is generally used to defend the city, and the range of the angle of fire can be adjusted up and down is not high.

"Lift up!" Zhang Yi reacted when he heard this, and struggled to lift a crossbow and look into the air, but how to calibrate it became a problem.

"Bang~"

As the bowstring trembled, a thick crossbow bolt burst out of the air, but it had long been out of sight.

Not only crossbows, but catapults could not aim stone projectiles at the 'lanterns' in the air, and ordinary castle defense equipment such as rolling logs and gravel were unlikely to pose any threat to the enemy flying in the air.

It's just that at this moment, those huge lanterns have flown to the vicinity of the city wall, condescending, one by one arrows broke through the air, and shot a Shu army who guarded the city, the female wall was useless, Zhang Yi hurriedly ordered someone to release the arrows, but the lantern was made of rattan, not only lightweight, but also very strong, ordinary arrow clusters, can not shoot through at all, and the soldiers inside can rely on the vine blue grid to block the arrows, and wait for the guards to change the vacancy of the arrows, they immediately get up and shoot.

On a flying boat, there are no more than five soldiers, counting up, the number is actually not much, but it is condescending, and it is impossible for them to take a ladder to go up, they only need to keep releasing clusters of arrows.

As more and more ships approached the walls, the clusters of arrows became denser.

This state of being able to only be beaten, but unable to fight back, coupled with this new type of combat that has never appeared on the battlefield, is devastating to the morale of the Guanshu army.

However, when you get to the sky, the enemy soldiers should always probe it, right?

Zhang Yi stared at the flying boats that gradually stopped above Jiameng Pass, frowning and thinking, waiting for the moment when the enemy showed his flaws to counterattack, and at this moment it was not good for the soldiers guarding the pass to release arrows.

"Shoot the arrows!" When a general saw these lanterns in the sky, he subconsciously gave an order and ordered the soldiers to shoot.

"No!" Zhang Yi's face changed when he heard this, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Clusters of arrows rose into the air and shot towards the flying boats in the air.

On the flying boat, the five soldiers only need to take out the rattan shield and cover it on the top of their heads, they can completely cover the top, and the arrow cluster that breaks through the air cannot cause any damage to them at all, but after the arrow cluster is exhausted, when it falls from the sky, the face of the Shu army at the head of the entire city suddenly changes.

Zhang Yi secretly scolded and hurriedly hid in the city tower, but most of the soldiers were not so lucky, and they were injured a lot by the falling arrow clusters, and this feeling of being killed by their own family's arrow clusters was really not very good.

Zhang Yi ran out of the city tower angrily, trying to settle accounts with the general, but when he found someone, he saw that an arrow had fallen from the sky through the head, and he had already lost his breath, holding his breath in his chest, with nowhere to vent, looking up at the sky, but found that under the hanging baskets, he somehow opened a hole the size of a human head, and then a clay pot fell from the hole.

"Papapapa~"

One by one, the clay pots fell from the sky, many soldiers were smashed on the head and broke the blood, and the broken clay pots overflowed viscous liquid, and the pungent smell soon filled the entire city tower.

"No, it's kerosene! Come on! In the chaotic crowd, Zhang Yi's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he stood up and walked down the aisle.

The Shu army guarding the pass also reacted, rushing to run down the city, and many people were directly pushed by the rear soldiers and fell from the city tower, falling to pieces.

"Huhuhu~" torches fell from the flying boat, permeating the fire oil on the entire city wall, as soon as it met an open flame, the ground burned, countless Shu soldiers who had not had time to escape were engulfed in flames in just an instant, and the entire city tower was engulfed in flames in an instant, and the countless fire people struggling in it howled miserably and crashed around, trying to extinguish the fire, and the place where there was no ignition was quickly covered by flames.

After the flying boat caught fire in Chengguan, it quickly separated to both sides by the heat flow, and under the operation of the soldiers, it slowly landed, and a famous lieutenant general came out of it and lined up on both sides of the city.

Soon, the gate of Jiameng Pass opened, and countless Shu troops rushed out of the city, waiting for them, but they were locked by cold arrows.

"I'm the Hussar General's Lieutenant Guan Hai in the town under his tent!" In the crowd, a general walked out, looked at the embarrassed Shu army, and said loudly: "Those who surrender, don't die!" ”

"Don't think!" Zhang Yi spit out a mouthful of phlegm fiercely, picked up the treasure knife, looked at Guan Hai and said, "Don't underestimate my Shuzhong Erlang!" ”

"Zhang Yi, you are from Youzhou, when did you become a Shu person?" Guan Hai sneered, glanced at the cringe-eyed soldiers behind him, and said disdainfully: "Let these soldiers answer for themselves." ”

Zhang Yi turned his head, and everywhere he looked, everyone unconsciously lowered their heads.

"You ......" Zhang Yi looked at these soldiers under his command and shouted: "The number of thieves is not large, and we may not be invincible!" The generals still don't kill the enemy with me!? ”

"Those who descend live, and those who resist die!" Guan Hai snorted, took a step forward, with a hideous look on his face, and the three hundred soldiers behind him quickly opened their bows and arrows, and when the soldiers of the Shu army resisted, they would immediately shoot the enemy with arrows.

"Dangchang~"

A Shu soldier glanced at Guan Hai in fear, suddenly threw down the spear in his hand, and knelt silently, holding his head in both hands.

"When Chang ~ When Chang ~ " After someone took the lead, as if it would be contagious, more and more Shu soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender, the short confrontation that happened before has completely destroyed their morale, even if there are only more than 300 people behind Guan Hai at this moment, not much more than them, these Shu soldiers are obviously not willing to fight again.

"Roar~" Zhang Yi roared angrily, and beheaded two kneeling soldiers one after another, but it was difficult to save the morale of the army, and in anger, he let out a roar and went straight to Guan Hai to kill.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Guan Hai snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates who wanted to release arrows, picked up the knife and walked towards Zhang Yi, getting closer, picked up the knife and slashed over.

"Bell~"

With a crisp sound, Zhang Yi's hands cracked, the knife was also knocked away, and his body staggered back, but he was chased by Guan Hai and kicked down.

"Die!" Looking at Zhang Yi, who was trampled under his feet and struggling non-stop, a touch of coldness flashed in Guan Hai's eyes, and the high-raised war knife brought a cold light in the morning sun, and fell in Zhang Yi's desperate roar.

The human head was washed out of the distance by blood, Guan Hai wiped the blood stains on his face, turned his head to look at a Wu Chang and said: "Jia Meng Pass has been broken, quickly return to Nanzheng to report to the lord that he knows." ”

"Whoa!"
