Chapter 135: Take Hangu
Ye Mo's arrival at Hangu Pass was in the morning, and if he didn't act until the end of the hour, it would be a long time to wait. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] However, Ye Mo didn't feel that this time was boring at all, the army had just come out of the Qinling Mountains, if he didn't even have time to rest, how could he face this enemy who was several times his size.
During this day, Ye Mo could see that the old general Huangfu Song had sent people to the pass many times to fight, but the people in the pass ignored him.
When the sun went down, there was a sudden change in Kannai. One of the soldiers suddenly withdrew, but the number was small, only about 500 people. However, this is not the key, the key thing is that these people are still holding a prisoner car.
Ye Mo's first reaction when he saw the prisoner car here was: It's not good, Xi Zhi was arrested. At this moment, Ye Mo really couldn't help but rush out, but after thinking about it, Xi Zhicai is very resourceful, that is, this person is really Xi Zhicai, and there must be his intentions. After all, Shi Ah didn't show up, and he hadn't seen anyone in Hangu Pass captured or killed except for the people in the prisoner car.
In this way, Ye Mo kept tormenting until the end of the hour, and at this time, the defenders on Hangu Pass were mostly sleepy, and they didn't pay much attention to the surrounding movements. And for some reason, Ye Mo looked down from the mountain, although the defenders of Hangu Pass arranged patrols, but there were many dead ends, and the guards patrolling each one seemed to be listless.
"Action!" Ye Mo gave an order, and 2,600 people moved when they heard the sound, but except for the "swish" sound caused by these people touching the surrounding grass and trees, there was not a word.
When they were in sight of the guards, the army suddenly stopped. Ye San took out his crossbow at this time, and aimed two arrows at the two guards in the southernmost part of Hangu Pass who were observing the Qin Mountains.
Since Hangu Pass is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south, it is natural that it will not be able to rush directly from the Qinling Mountains to the top of the wall. In this place, there is also a section of cliffs. If you want to go down to the wall of Hangu Pass, you naturally need to use a rope, otherwise, jumping directly is no different from committing suicide.
The rope was naturally prepared a long time ago, and even if it wasn't, having a day's rest was enough to use the bark to make two ropes. A few ropes were thrown against the wall of Hangu Pass, which would naturally attract the attention of others.
But at this time, the army brought by Ye Mo was condescending, coupled with the good shooting of the crossbowmen in the camp first, a wave of arrows rained down, and a group of defenders were eliminated. At this time, Gao Shun took the trapped camp to slide down the wall first, which was also said before, if you go to the camp first, you will go first, and the trapped camp will not be able to cover the first camp.
After the people who had fallen into the camp went down, they began to form a formation above Guan Qiang and slowly moved forward. The wall of Hangu Pass is only a few meters wide, and it has been pushed all the way by the trapped camp, and those defenders really have nothing to do. What can I do, a group of iron-skinned monsters, arrows can't shoot, knives can't slash.
The defenders on the wall couldn't help it, and immediately rang the alarm bell on the wall. The defenders who were really resting in the pass heard the alarm bell on the wall of the pass, and thought that it was the emperor Fu Song outside the gate who came to attack the city. It can be regarded as retribution, in the past, the people guarding the pass went to Huangfu Song's military camp every day to beat gongs and drums, but this time it became Huangfu Song's people to beat gongs and drums in front of Hangu Pass every night, which really made the defenders nervous for a while.
However, such a simple plan was naturally seen through by Fa Zheng. The solution is also simple, there are more soldiers on the city tower on duty, and when the army outside the gate really attacks at night, the alarm bell will be sounded. The alarm bell does not ring, the army does not move, and as soon as the alarm bell rings, the army is dispatched.
This trick really worked, just a few days ago, Huangfu Song saw that the defenders of Hangu Pass were not fooled, so he no longer came out, and then the people guarding the pass also thought that the defenders outside the pass were out of recruitment. Coupled with the changes in the pass this afternoon, the people guarding the pass were even more unmotivated, so they let Ye Mo build a cheap.
When the defenders sounded the alarm, the first reaction of the resting soldiers was that they had auditory hallucinations, but when they saw that all the other people in the tent had also woken up, they were immediately alarmed, hurriedly put on their clothes and armor, and rushed towards the wall with their weapons.
At this time, most of the soldiers who first entered the camp were hanging on the cliffs, and naturally they could not use their bows and crossbows to suppress the defenders who were constantly rushing towards the wall.
"Spear thrower, close the stairs on the south side of the door, a round of attacks." Looking at those people who kept rushing towards the wall, Ye Mo said that he was very disdainful, so dense, looking for death?
Five hundred elite spear-throwers, divided into ten rows, threw short spears at the defenders who were constantly charging upwards. These short spears are much heavier than bows and arrows, and the ultra-long-distance projection, combined with gravity, makes these short spears a hole in a person's body.
Suddenly, countless people were nailed to the walls or to the stairs. The most terrifying thing is that most of them are not dead at this time, but they are nailed to the ground or wall, or there is another defender strung on the short spear.
"Help me, I don't want to die!" One of the soldiers who had been nailed to the wall kept pulling out the short spear with his hand, but the short spear was nailed into the wall, where one of his badly wounded soldiers could pull it out.
Around him, several soldiers looked at him in horror, but they didn't have the courage to move him. These are all veterans, and they all know that if they pull out their short spears, this person will surely die. However, just nailing it to the wall made them feel infinite fear.
"Ah......" A soldier finally couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to pull the short spear out of the wall with force, but it was not only the short spear that was pulled out, but also the internal organs of the wounded soldier, and all of a spurt was sprayed on the soldier's body.
"I beg you, don't move, I'm going to die!" This sentence was spoken by a strung soldier to another soldier who was about to stand up.
"I don't want to die, my child hasn't seen me yet." A father crying man who was nailed to the ground.
……
All of a sudden, no one caught up with this staircase, and it also brought infinite fear to the defenders of Hangu Pass, and the morale of the defenders of Hangu Pass fell again and again.
By the time all the soldiers brought by Ye Mo had gone down to Hangu Pass, the entire wall was almost occupied by these people. But under the pass, there are still seven or eight thousand defenders, as long as the sky is bright, the shortcomings of Ye Mo's lack of numbers will be infinitely magnified.
"Trap the camp and take the gates." In the darkness, Ye Mo shouted loudly towards Gao Shun.
After Gao Shun listened to Ye Mo's words, he went to kill under the wall. More than 1,000 people have been trapped, and the number of people has reached the highest peak in the history of the trapping camp. Moreover, these people are all people who are not afraid of life and death, and they also occupy the geographical advantage from top to bottom, and instantly push the defenders back several meters.
"Defend the city gates with the whole army, kill me!" At this time, Duan Xuan, the general, finally came into play. Seeing that the trapped camp that seized the pass did not care about the need to close the gate more, Duan Xuan immediately understood that these people must be short of troops, and they could only be sure to capture this Hangu Pass with those outside the pass.
I have to say that Duan Xuan is really a wise and brave general. However, he ran into Ye Mo.
"Spear-throwing warriors, enemy troops in front of the city gates, two rounds of attack, free throwing." As soon as the five hundred spear-throwing warriors heard Ye Mo's order, another thousand short spears were immediately thrown out. Suddenly, there was another ghost crying wolf.
In fact, the number of casualties caused by these 1,000 short spears was only seven or eight hundred, which was only one-tenth of the number of the defenders. You must know that after a vicious battle, it is common for more than half of the dead and wounded or even the entire army to be wiped out, but where will there be such a sense of impact.
If these people died all at once, there was nothing to say, but these people were not completely dead, and this cry suddenly lowered the morale of the army.
Duan Xuan had never seen such a method, in his impression, the only thing that could cause such an effect was the bed crossbow, but these people were just suddenly attacked, where did the bed crossbow come from? What's more, he didn't hear the sound of the bowstring himself, which was obviously not the reason for the bed crossbow.
Just when Duan Xuan hesitated, Gao Shun led the trapping camp to take down the city gate. Suddenly, only a few dozen people went to open the city gate, and the rest of them resisted the charge of the defenders. However, the defenders were directly frightened by the wave of attacks from the spear-throwing warriors, and those who rushed forward were just some of the people who rushed in front and were not frightened by the scene behind.
Huangfu Song, who was outside the pass, also heard the alarm bell and shouting of killing in Hangu Pass, although he was worried that he would be tricked, he still took people to be ready to go out at any time. At this time, one of the scouts sent by him came back and reported: "General, there was a shout of killing in the Hangu Pass, and the villain also heard someone shouting something 'trapped in the camp'. ”
When Huangfu Song heard this report, he immediately felt that this was another plan of the defenders, and planned to ignore it. "General Zhu Jun, what does the general think of this person's plan for the enemy?"
Zhu Jun also hadn't heard of the trapping camp, although the trapping camp had also appeared in the Battle of Luoyang before, but at that time, the Ye family was famous at that time, and no one paid attention to the trapping camp. "A certain person also thinks so, what is 'trapped in the camp', he will not make up a better name."
"Two generals, the last general has something to say." At this time, Xia Mu stood up.
The two veterans saw that it was Xia Mu, considering that Xia Mu had participated in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass and had made a lot of contributions, they immediately wanted to hear what Xia Mu had to say. "It turned out to be General Xia, please say anything General Xia has to say."
"That 'trapped camp' is an elite group of soldiers trained by General Gao Shun under General Lu Bu, a total of 800 people, but when he fought with Dong Zhuo's coalition army before, there were heavy casualties, and only more than 100 people remained. The last general believed that the Hangu Pass Rebellion at this time was very likely to be true. Xia Mu hurriedly told what he knew, for fear that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun would not believe his words, and then misunderstand the military situation.
"Since there are only more than 100 people left, how can there be such a momentum?" Zhu Jun was puzzled, Xia Mu said that there were more than 100 people left in the camp, but on the other hand, he said that these people were very likely to be true.
"Lord Ye Mo once said that he would hand over a thousand elite soldiers to General Gao Shun. If a certain general expected to be true, General Gao Shun must have obtained these thousand elite soldiers. Moreover, eighty percent of General Koji's first battalion is also in Hangu Pass. "Thinking of Ye Mo's strategy before, he mostly used the two teams of trapping the camp and the first camp, if this is really a trapping camp, then it is not surprising that the first camp is also there.
Listening to Xia Mu's words, the two old generals glanced at each other. Ye Mo gave them advice before, but they didn't listen to it, causing a fiasco. Now, if it is really as Xia Mu said, the appearance of the trapped camp must be Ye Mo's strategy, no matter what, the two of them plan to go and take a look.
"The army set off and headed for Hangu Pass."
By the time Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun arrived at Hangu Pass with their army, Gao Shun had already opened the gate of Hangu Pass.
Seeing that the gate had been opened, and the shadow of the army outside the gate could be faintly seen, he immediately ordered to abandon the pass and retreat. xh118
