Although Zhang Xutuo was killed, he still could not change the disadvantage of the Shu army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Yuan Shao chased Feng Yi in an ambush and broke his confidant general Chun Yuqiong, his troops still far surpassed Feng Yi, and after suffering a few more losses, he became shrewd, Feng Yi couldn't take advantage of it, so he stubbornly defended Baishui Pass and couldn't hold out.

On the Yong'an side, after receiving the assistance of Wu Han, Wang Ling regrouped and killed Yang Su by surprise, and Yang Su retreated more than ten miles in defeat. But that night, Yang Su rectified the defeated army and suddenly counterattacked, and Wang Ling Wu Han was not on guard and was also defeated for a while. The two sides fought more than ten times, winning and losing each other.

As for the area around Jiannan Road, Ge Shuhan's purpose was only to prevent Liu Bangnan from escaping like a southern barbarian, so there was no large-scale battle breaking out.

However, in the area of Jianmen, Liu Xiu's Shu army of less than 50,000 faced the front and rear attacks of more than 100,000 Han troops, and the 10,000 cavalry of the general Xu Rong were out of nowhere, wantonly disturbing Shuzhong, and the situation was precarious, but Liu Xiu was confident that he would be able to thwart the offensive of the Han army with the danger of Jianmen Pass.

After Gao Chang led his troops to the Jianmen Pass, Dong Zhuo immediately sent someone to climb over the cliff on the Jianmen Pass to inform Gao Chang that three days later, the two sides would attack the key problems in a big way, and they would attack back and forth, and take the Jianmen in one fell swoop.

Three days later.

Gao Chang personally led 30,000 troops out of the camp and forced the city to line up, and Dong Zhuo, the other end of the pass, also personally led 50,000 troops out of the camp and lined up.

Tom Tom Tom –

More than ten cowhide drums were responded to by the earthquake, and the loud sound echoed between the valleys, shocking people's hearts.

Gao Chang ordered in a deep voice: "Siege!" ”

In the former military department, the general Yang Yanzhao led 10,000 soldiers trapped in the city, holding high the big shield, and advanced towards the Jianmen Pass.

After Yang Yanzhao's front army, Hua Rong, a sharpshooter general, led 3,000 elite crossbowmen, followed by the sword and shield hands, and advanced towards the enemy city.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo's army was also approaching the Sword Gate.

Above the Guancheng, Liu Xiu was fully armed, stood solemnly, looked at the Guanxia with cold eyes, and smiled at Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, this Gao Chang Dong Zhuo knows the art of war very well, and attacks at the same time, in a vain attempt to disperse my forces so that they can be broken one by one, it's a pity!" The sword gate is dangerous in the world, even if there are only 5,000 troops, you can resist tens of thousands of troops, and if you want to attack it, there is no door! ”

Fa Zheng nodded and smiled: "What His Highness said is that this Sword Gate Pass is the nightmare of the Han army, if you want to break through it, let's go in the next life!" ”

Liu Xiu proudly puffed up his chest, looked at the approaching Han army, and ordered sharply: "Crossbowman, release arrows to Lonely, and shoot these rebels to death!" ”

Woowoo woo –

At the head of the Jianmen City, the sound of the horn rose to the sky, faintly overwhelming the sound of the Han army drums.

The banner waved, and the two thousand Shu army crossbowmen who had already been in place on the two city walls loosened their fingertips, and the sharp arrows broke through the wind, overwhelmingly attacking the Han army approaching in front of the city.

Whoosh!

Arrows are like rain on a rainy day, and the momentum is terrifying.

With the height of the fortress, thousands of sharp arrows swooped down like locusts.

Yang Yanzhao saw the sharp arrows coming, and shouted: "The whole army, raise the shield and block the arrows!" ”

The order was shouted, and the soldiers who were trapping the city in the advance raised their big shields in their hands one after another and protected them in front of them.

Bang Bang Bang!

Countless sharp arrows broke through the air, most of them were bounced down by the big shield, but some of the sharp arrows penetrated the gap between the shields and hit the soldiers of the Han army.

Gao Chang supervised the battle in the back, and at this time secretly shouted, "Not good!" “

Originally, this sword gate was built between two mountains, and the area before the gate was too narrow, and it could only accommodate more than 3,000 people at a time, which made it difficult for the Han army to give full play to their military advantages.

Sure enough, when Yang Yanzhao led his troops to break within 300 steps in front of the pass, the phalanx was in chaos, and tens of thousands of soldiers could only temporarily change their formation, change into the shape of a long snake, hold high the big shield, and slowly advance forward against the rain of arrows at the head of the city.

However, because of the change in the formation, the defense of the entire formation was seriously reduced, and under the whistling arrows, the screams of the Han army suddenly rose out, and the blood dyed the ground in front of the city with a layer of bewitching red in a blink of an eye.

"The whole army, only allowed to advance, not to retreat, let me continue to advance!" Yang Yanzhao shouted loudly while swinging his sword to block the attacking arrows.

Under Yang Yanzhao's shout, the fearless soldiers, still holding high the big shield, against the rain of arrows at the head of the city, slowly retreated forward, I don't know how much blood was spilled, Jizhou Erlang has advanced to a distance of 100 steps in front of the pass.

"Archers, shoot the enemy city on your back, suppress the enemy army, and cover the infantry brothers to ascend the city!" Hua Rong saw that he had advanced to within a hundred steps, and immediately ordered loudly.

The order was handed down, and the three thousand crossbowmen who followed behind quickly drove to the front, half-crouching in front of the city, and fired their bows and crossbows in unison.

Woowoo woo –

Like the sound of thousands of birds fluttering their wings and buzzing, suddenly a big blow, thousands of sharp arrows rose into the air, drawing a graceful arc, like a meteor sword net that flew upside down, shooting towards the Shu army at the head of the city.

Puff puff!

In an instant, the Shu army, which had no time to dodge at the head of the city, was shot to the ground in pieces, and the screams above the city head were loud for a while, and blood was overflowing.

Suppressed by the crossbowmen like this, the crossbowmen on the head of the city suddenly stopped the fire.

Yang Yanzhao immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Attack the city, step on the sword gate!" ”

The sword and shield bearers swarmed up, fearlessly carrying the ladder and holding their shields high, and rushed to the bottom of the city in an instant.

Yang Yanzhao ordered loudly: "Jizhou sons, go to the city!" ”

Yang Yanzhao gave an order, and nearly thirty cloud ladders were raised by a tall tree in a blink of an eye, and they were suddenly attached to the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, more than 1,000 sword and shield bearers, holding the big shield high in one hand, grabbed the cloud ladder with the other, pinned the knife behind their waists, and climbed bravely towards the city.

Liu Xiu looked at the closure coldly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Roll the wood and stones, put it!" ”

The order was passed down, and the defenders of Shu at the head of the city stood up one by one under the rain of arrows in the city, and smashed countless sandalwood and flying stones towards the Han army who climbed the city.

In an instant, above the Jianmen Gate, the sassal wood and flying stones roared like a landslide, smashing towards the Han army under the city.

Bang bang bang!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Han soldiers were smashed, all of them were smashed to crack and blood splashed, either killed on the spot, or fell from the city wall as high as several zhang and fell into flesh.

The screams sounded along the line of the city, overshadowing the trumpets and drums of the two armies, and became the only sound that could be heard in heaven and earth.

The original gray city wall was also quickly stained by the blood of the Han soldiers, and along the line of the city, it soon became a Shura killing field.

The fighting spirit of the Han army was not affected in the slightest, all of them were fearless, one brother fell, and the other did not hesitate to follow, and continued to climb forward to the head of the city.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed since the siege of the city, and the Han army had paid hundreds of dead and wounded soldiers, but not a single one had climbed the top of the city.

Gao Chang saw that his army was attacking the city at the Chinese army, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Sword Gate Pass is really dangerous in the world!" If you continue to fight like this, even if you cut down all the trees on Taihang Mountain, it will not be enough to make a coffin for my Jizhou Erlang! “

Guo Jiayi arched his hand and said: "The lord is reasonable, the sword gate is dangerous, there is no need to waste the lives of the soldiers, it is better to go back to the camp and make plans." ”

Gao Chang nodded and said, "Mingjin, the whole army collects troops." ”

Bell Bell Bell –

At the same time, Dong Zhuo, who was on the other side of the pass, saw that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, and also issued an order to Mingjin.

As a result, tens of thousands of Han soldiers who were besieging the city quickly withdrew from the first line of the city wall, holding their shields high, and slowly retreated in formation.

"The Han army has been killed by us!"

"The Han army has been defeated and fled!"

At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Shu army who fought hard saw the retreat of the Han army, and they all rejoiced and shouted.

When Liu Xiu saw the Han army outside the city slowly retreating, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky and prayed: "Heavens! Let this Jianmen Heavenly Danger become a blessed place for our Han King Anping to come back to life! ”
