Chapter 227: The Battle Begins
The coalition formed by the princes of the fifteenth road was divided into three routes, of which Yuan Shao and others on the first road and Cao De and others on the third road had already fought against Dong Zhuojun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just when the first army of Yuan Shao and others pretended to flee due to chaos under Qinghe City, the 64,000 army composed of Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Kong Ling, Bao Xin and Kong Rong finally crossed the foot of Songshan Mountain and came to Yuyuan Pass, one of the eight passes in Luoyang!
Yuyuan Pass is located on the Yuyuan Mountain at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng and Gongyi. Moreover, the road is dangerous, with 12 curves and circling loops. Moreover, although Yuyuan Pass is three zhang high, it is six zhang long and four zhang wide! This is definitely a representative level that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
What is the concept of six zhang wide, six zhang wide is now only about fourteen meters wide!
If there is a battle, it would be good if thirty of the attacking soldiers could stand in a row and attack the Yuyuan Pass!
The attacking soldiers need space to spread their hands and feet, and the guards standing on the wall and firing arrows are much denser than the attacking soldiers!
Therefore, it was not wise for Cao De to choose the location of the attack in the first place!
It has been more than ten years since Cao De came to this era, has Cao De not collected information in this regard, or is Cao De's head funny!
No, Cao De has his own considerations.
As the gateway to Luoyang, Kyoto, only two of the eight passes of Luoyang are relatively close to Zhongmu. One is Yuyuan Pass, and the other is Taigu Pass!
Taigu Pass is more dangerous than the terrain of Yuyuan Pass!
As the name suggests, there is a canyon about thirty miles long before and after Taigu Pass! And on both sides of the deep valley, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the streams are murmuring, the peaks are sharpened, and the bushes are overgrown!
This is the best place to arrange an ambush!
Therefore, it is better to play in comparison! And the march of Sun Jian and the others is closer!
In fact, during the journey of the Second Route Army to Yuyuan Pass, Sun Jian and others discussed.
What should I do, Yuyuan Pass is not easy to fight. The road is too narrow, go up a few dead and die!
That's the situation, but there is nothing to do but attack without casualties.
Therefore, the five leading brothers discussed a solution that was not a solution.
The five armies took turns to fight, and the soldiers were not given any chance to rest. Let them kill until they are exhausted!
After the five of them made a plan, they found a relatively open place outside Yuyuan Mountain and set up camp. And then the rotation began!
The first one to play was Yuzhou Mu Kongling! Kong Ling ordered a thousand soldiers and horses and drilled into the Yuyuan Mountain.
And Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and others also followed the army to the battlefield as senior observers!
Everyone didn't know if they didn't come, and they were shocked when they came!
What kind of road is this, I can see the Yuyuan Pass from afar, but the road to the Yuyuan Pass is full of cliffs. And that's not the point! The point is that Dong Jun can use his bow and arrow to attack us on the march if he stays on the wall. And we still have to go around two corners to tackle it!
Your sister, is this torture! Kong Ling wants to cry without tears!
So Kong Ling ran to the four senior observers, you see, what to do! Just walk over like this, and when it comes to the gate, it would be nice if my thousand people could leave me with 400 people! How can 400 people tackle the problem!
At this time, Yuan Shu proposed to use a shield! Block your body with a giant shield. Throw away your shield and siege the city when you reach the level!
The other four people are a total of one, a good way, but let's go back first. Because, I didn't bring such a big shield. The shields brought by Kong Ling's soldiers were all small round shields, which could only block the most important parts of the body.
So, a thousand Kong soldiers came passionately, and went back with great emotion!
This back and forth was almost half a day's delay. By the time the soldiers had filled their stomachs and set off again with their giant shields, it was already afternoon!
In fact, if Kong Ling had ordered the army to attack in the morning, he might have taken the Yuyuan Pass in one fell swoop. Because, at that time, Dong Jun on the Yuyuan Pass did not expect the coalition army to come at all. So at that time, the defense on the Yuyuan Pass was very weak!
And now, because Kong Ling showed his head and shrank back, it was a wake-up call for the defenders of Yuyuan Pass.
As a result, now Yuyuan Pass has made all the preparations and is waiting for the coalition forces to send their heads by themselves!
In fact, there are not many defenders in Yuyuan Pass, and the particularity of Yuyuan Pass does not allow too many defenders to be stationed. Therefore, the standing army of Yuyuan Pass is only more than 1,000 people!
And when the defenders of Yuyuan Pass discovered the coalition forces, they hurriedly strengthened their defenses on the one hand, and on the other hand, they hurriedly reported to Huaxiong, who was cruising nearby!
Since Hua Xiong received Dong Zhuo's order, he took an army of 20,000 out of Luoyang City.
At that time, Dong Zhuo's order was only for Huaxiong to guard against the coalition army from the south to enter Luoyang, and did not designate a fixed place for Huaxiong, so Huaxiong came to the mountains south of Luoyang with 20,000 troops.
After Hua Xiong arrived, he sent several teams of people to remind each city and each level. And he also informed them of his whereabouts, and in case of the arrival of coalition forces, he would be informed in time.
Subsequently, Hua Xiong, who was idle, began to hunt all kinds of barbecues in the mountains, and he was very happy to eat!
And just when Hua Xiong was holding a deer leg to nibble on the incense, suddenly a soldier came to report that the trail of the coalition army had been found in Yuyuan Pass!
Hua Xiong used his big hand that was still greasy, with a wave, let's go, let's go to Yuyuan Pass to meet the coalition forces for a while!
When Huaxiong received the news, the coalition forces had already launched an attack on Yuyuan Pass.
This time, it was still Kong Ling who appeared on behalf of the coalition forces, but this time there were 500 more soldiers. It should be said that there are 500 more soldiers carrying huge shields!
Five hundred soldiers with huge shields lined up at the outskirts of the queue to protect the army from attacks when cornering! And above the heads of the attacking soldiers was a dense round shield.
In this way, judging from staying on the wall of Yuyuan Pass, the coalition forces attacking outside the pass are forming a huge iron box and advancing!
Although under the command of the generals guarding the pass, Dong Jun released a lot of arrows, but when the arrows collided with the giant shield, the ones who lost their power were often missed!
Kong Ling, who was in the middle of the large army, listened to the clanging sound of the arrows hitting the giant shield. This seems to be the sound of the movement, which makes Kong Ling's heart feel a sense of pride.
But if there is a mistake in a giant shield, I'm afraid this jingling sound is Kong Ling's urging movement!
Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Bao Xin, and Kong Rong were still not in the army, but still watching the battle on a mountain not far away.
Kong Lingjun finally crossed the bends without any damage with the shield on his head, and the soldiers at the front could already see the panicked expressions of the Dong army soldiers on the wall through the gap between the giant shields!
At this time, Kong Ling was also very happy, because Kong Ling found that as long as he continued to maintain his current state, he could always reach the wall of Yuyuan Pass, and when the time came, he only needed to erect the ladder hidden in the shield, and it would not be easy for his soldiers to climb the wall.
It's a pity that this is just Kong Ling's wishful thinking, and it is also Kong Ling's daydream!
The Yuyuan Pass was basically built in the upper part of the mountain.
Therefore, the attacking coalition forces need to climb the slope. And Dong Jun, who guards the customs, is condescending!
And there is a defensive weapon that will replace 1,000% of the lethality in this terrain in the city defense and pass war, and that is the rolling wood and stone! (To be continued.) )
