Chapter 0064: Bloody Battle Hanzhong Pass

At this time, there was no sun in the sky under Hanzhong, and occasionally there would be a cool breeze blowing, accompanied by a cool breeze, the soldiers of the two armies felt a burst of happiness in their hearts, this weather is the most suitable for fighting!

The 50,000-strong army of the Wei army was divided into ten phalanxes of about 5,000 people, and finally slowly moved towards Hanzhong Pass.

Wei Yan stared at the black Wei army under the city, and slowly spoke: "Archers prepare." ”

"Kill!"

At this time, the Wei army under the pass had already raised their halberd spears and pounced with a loud roar!

"Shoot the arrows!" When the Wei army was about to rush to the pass, Wei Yan finally gave the order to release the arrows.

The pass of Hanzhong Pass is now also full of soldiers, and after listening to Wei Yan's order, he raised his bow and arrow in his hand at the same time, not to the ground, but directly to the sky.

The arrows that shot into the sky rushed towards a dense array of locusts that fell from the sky, and fiercely pounced on the camp of the Wei army under the gates.

Before all the arrows flew over, the soldiers of the Wei army raised their shields violently under the command of the military flag in front.

"Bang!"

The straight arrows fell from the sky and stuck in the shield of the Wei army, but the shield was not an impenetrable canopy, and the arrows were seamless.

From time to time, arrows pierced directly into the bodies of Wei soldiers from the gaps in the shields, accompanied by a touch of blood, and one by one the lives withered on the battlefield.

Zhang He sat on his horse, looking at the Wei army in front of him, who had already blocked a wave of Han arrows and continued to attack, he didn't even frown, and still looked calm, as if these dead soldiers had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Wei Yan on Hanzhong Pass also had a calm face, looking at the Wei army rushing towards this side again, and still gave the order to release the arrows.

Although the Wei army was also damaged after blocking the three waves of arrow rain, especially the two phalanxes in the front row, because they were close to the arrows first, there were still more casualties, but compared with the whole ten phalanxes, it was still relatively insignificant.

Hanzhong Pass is built relatively high and steep, and it is built by the mountain, which makes perfect use of this terrain, and the Wei army, which has come to Hanzhong Pass after a series of arrow rains, began to swing out of the ladder with the sound of passionate war drums.

The ladder is a necessity for siege, and the warrior can climb the ladder directly to the tower.

At this time, several military formations behind the Wei army also raised their bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows under black pressure flew overwhelmingly towards Hanzhong Pass.

"Hidden!"

Wei Yan roared at the rain of arrows flying from the Wei army, hurriedly squatted down, leaning against the stone wall to cover, and almost a dozen soldiers in armor around him also surrounded Wei Yan, lest Wei Yan have losses.

The Wei army had begun to set up a ladder to climb the tower under the cover of the rain of arrows, and at this time, the Han army also began to shoot arrows downwards rapidly.

Finally, the Wei army, who was afraid of being halfway up the Guanlou, was shot by the Han army above and rolled down directly, and then the Wei army climbed up, and the two armies entered a stalemate.

"Two more corps." Zhang He looked at the soldiers rolling down the pass like dumplings, and said calmly.

When the standard-bearer heard Zhang He's order, he hurriedly waved the military flag, echoing the military flag in the battle array, and slowly walked out of the two corps and rushed to Hanzhong Pass.

"General! The Wei army began to rush and close the door! A sweaty lieutenant hurriedly ran in front of Wei Yan and hurriedly reported it.

Wei Jun didn't look at the deputy general, but looked solemnly at the black Wei Jun outside the pass, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the oil and oil!" ”

The oil is burned to a boiling hot and then poured directly onto the wall.

The soldier received the order, and after a while, he pushed a few cauldrons, which were full of boiling oil and crackling sounds.

The hot oil was directly poured down by the soldiers along the wall of Hanzhong Pass, and the Wei army, who was climbing up the ladder below, was drenched with the oil by the fire oil, and a heart-rending roar was heard in an instant.

The Han army seemed to have become accustomed to such a terrible roar, and turned a deaf ear to the screams below, still yelling and pouring a pot of boiling oil down.

The soldiers who roared miserably of the Wei army had already rolled down and rolled under the wall, and the Wei army that continued to come up had raised their shields this time, but they would not still be burned by the oil and rolled down.

"Rocket!"

Wei Yan immediately made a decision, and roared again, and then the Han army shot the lit bow and arrow directly, and the bow and arrow with fire burned violently when it encountered the fire oil, and even the entire cloud ladder began to burn slowly.

After this fierce counterattack, the Wei army was a little overwhelmed, and it seemed that it was not as fierce as it was at the beginning, but it still climbed up with the help of the cloud ladder, and it seemed that whoever could climb to the top was the winner.

Zhang He also saw that the situation here seemed to be unfavorable to the Wei army, but he still didn't wrinkle every day, and said lightly: "Go up two more legions, let the front retreat." ”

When the standard-bearer heard Zhang He's order, he hurriedly waved the command flag again, and when the Wei soldiers attacking the city in front slowly retreated, two more corps shouted to make up for it.

Wei Yan frowned even more when he saw that the Wei army had another legion pressing up, but he didn't show any timidity, and still began to issue orders one after another.

After all, the Han army is the side defending the city, and it has an advantage in geography, but the Wei army will also pounce on a rain of arrows from the army below from time to time, and the Han army also suffered casualties at this time, but the soldiers did not flinch, and also picked up bows and arrows to counterattack downward.

Although the Han army occupied the geographical advantage, the 50,000 horses of the Wei army were twice that of Hanzhong, and the army took turns to attack Hanzhong Pass, and the Han army on Hanzhong Pass gradually began to get tired.

Wei Yan looked at Wei Jun without the intention of stopping, and felt more and more deep in his heart, but now there was no other change, so he could only continue to command the soldiers to defend.

After waves of offensives, the weather gradually darkened, and some of the Wei troops were able to climb the wall, although they were killed by the swarming Han army, but the Wei army had indeed climbed the wall.

After continuous fierce battles, but Zhang He still had no intention of retreating, at this time the sky was already dark, the army had lit torches, pieces of torches like a sea of fire, the whole Hanzhong care into a faint yellow.

Wei Yan stood on the Hanzhong Pass, looking at the Wei army that was still attacking, his heart became deeper and deeper, the current situation was more and more unfavorable, he had already thought about the Wei army's plan to retreat to Hanzhong City if it did not retreat.

"I hope Your Majesty will not disappoint you!" Wei Yan suddenly followed the torches of the Wei army and looked behind the entire Wei army, and the entire rear of the Wei army had already been deeply submerged in the night.

At this time, Liu Chan under the mountain stream of Luoyan Mountain had already led Wei Yan's five hundred personal soldiers to the place where the Wei army stored grain and grass.
