Chapter 305 Zhang Jin set fire to the chariot and closed the soldiers and horses in front of the pass

The above document mentioned that Jiang Wei beheaded the generals Lai Gong and Lai Man in front of the Maguan, which shocked the generals on the Maguan for a while, so that Shiyi only guarded the pass regardless of going out of the city to fight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this battle, Jiang Wei became famous.

The next day, Guan Ping, the governor of the Eastern Expedition, led an army of 40,000 to the village in front of Maguan. Dian Man took Jiang Wei to explain the previous battle in detail.

When Guan Ping heard this, he asked, "Can you two attack the city?" ”

Dian Man replied: "The city has not yet been attacked, and the vanguard of our army has not brought siege equipment!" ”

Guan Ping nodded, and then said to Tian Kai: "Tian Jian Jun, how many siege equipment does our army have?" ”

"Back to the governor, there are 100 ladders on the platform, 100 ladders for climbing, 12 siege rams, 100 catapults, and 100 siege crossbows." Tian Kai replied.

"Today the Governor of Pontus will attack this city, and I wonder which general is willing to take the lead?" Guan Ping asked.

Si Jin's general Zhou Yong stepped forward to ask for an order: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

"You have 5,000 elite soldiers, 30 ladders, 2 battering rams, and 100 catapults. Remember that this siege is a temptation to attack the city, and our soldiers have suffered too many casualties, so remember not to storm it! Guan Ping commanded.

"Whoa!" Zhou Yong received the order to go down.

Zhou Yong, the son of Zhou Cang, the cavalry general, inherited the style of Zhou Cang's brave battle, and was quite brave on the battlefield, coupled with his height and horse, a pair of drums and urns in his hand, and a pair of golden hammers in his hand, which was quite powerful as a god at that station, and was known as the giant spirit god.

Let's say that Zhou Yong led his troops to Maguan and first made the catapults line up. He rode his horse to inspect the pass, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he sent the catapult to attack the pass.

As soon as the catapults began to attack, he sent two thousand soldiers to climb and carry fifteen ladders and chase the battering rams to launch the first attack.

All this was done according to the procedures he had learned from his teacher in the academy, and in this regard, he completely inherited the advantages of Zhou Cang's resolute execution. It's a pity that on the battlefield, you also need to know how to be flexible......

When he saw the boulder crashing above the city, he thought he could strike at the defenders of the city. However, he bombarded for a long time, and did not hear a single scream after the soldier was hit......

However, he said that in the middle of the horse pass, Shi Yi summoned the generals to hurriedly discuss countermeasures.

"The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty sent Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu, the king of Qin, as the governor of the Eastern Expedition, and led 50,000 elite soldiers to cross Yanshan and Wenshan. How should our army stop it? Shi Yi was very annoyed at this time, he didn't expect that the Han Dynasty army was really as powerful as the rumors said.

The next general of the hall came out and said, "Why is the governor afraid? The water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers come to block it. If the governor can trust so-and-so, the matter of defending the city will be handed over to so-and-so. ”

Shi Yi watched intently and saw that it was Zhang Jin, the cavalry commander of Cangwu County. He hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the general has planned?" ”

"As long as the general has a certain opinion, he makes the army collect tung oil and vine things, and rushes to do it overnight, and the enemy army will be able to attack the city tomorrow." Zhang Jin said with a confident look.

Seeing Zhang Jin like this, Shi Yi felt that the defense of the city this time depended on this cavalry captain, so he said: "Okay! This is the whole army going down to levy this matter, and it will be handed over to the general in the evening of this day. And when he had finished speaking, he sent the people down and prepared.

Shiwen couldn't understand why Zhang Jin was doing these things, so he asked: "The big war is coming, what's the use of engaging in these useless things?" There is another reason he asked. That is Zhang Jin's confident appearance, and he was recognized by Shi Yi. But he was mostly deflated in front of Shi Yi, so he made things difficult.

"How do you know it's useless?" Shi Yi saw Shiwen come out to make things difficult, his face sank, and he said coldly, "Useless things, I don't know how to repent!" It's a mistake here, why don't you hurry down and prepare! ”

Being so reprimanded by Shi Yi, Shi Wen felt that his face was dull, glanced at Shi Yi and Zhang Jin hatefully, and turned his head to leave. The relationship within the Shi family collapsed, and it became closer and closer with Shi Yi's suppression of Shi Wen.

In the evening, the soldiers in the customs each found a scoop of tung oil and several zhang of vines.

Zhang Jin summoned the people in the pass overnight to help, and rushed to make a huge Teng net, which was hung above the horse pass. Seeing this, Shi Yi hurriedly asked why.

"Returning to the governor, the Han army has always had a catapult, a sharp weapon for siege, and the car threw a huge stone weighing 100 catties. Make it directly throw and hit the city wall of Maguan, and within two hours, Maguan will inevitably be lost. If there is such a free net here, it will not only block the boulder strike, but also store the tools for our army to counterattack the enemy. Zhang Jin explained.

While they were talking, someone came to report: "Report to the governor, the enemy army has begun to attack the city." ”

Shi Yi said with a smile: "Then I want to see the general's means of defending the city!" As he spoke, Shi Yi looked at Zhang Jin with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

Zhang Jin felt the grace of his acquaintance, so he bowed and said: "Please rest assured." After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to Shiyi, and turned back to the city pass.

As soon as they arrived at the city, they saw the countless boulders roaring towards them, and the soldiers instinctively hugged their heads one by one, and found that none of the boulders had fallen, but some broken soil had fallen. Looking at the boulders rolling down one by one on the open space in the pass, no one was injured, and the city wall was safe and sound.

At this time, Zhang Jin held a sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The soldiers hear clearly. When the enemy ladder reached the city wall, the soldiers facing the ladder poured oil on the ladder, and the soldiers who were far away from the ladder shot it with rockets. ”

"Whoa!" Seeing that the boulder could not hit him, the morale of the soldiers suddenly increased a lot, and they replied in unison.

After a short time, the fifteen ladders were set up on the city wall, and the Han army under the city saw that the enemy army had not overturned the ladders, so they hurriedly climbed up. Suddenly, he felt the smell of tung oil coming from the top of his head, and the battalion commander who was climbing suddenly looked up, but saw a burst of firelight. A fire ignited on top of the iron shield, and then the ladder began to burn.

The burning ladder soon couldn't support the weight on it, "There was a click and it broke in the middle, and several of the commanders who were leading the charge fell first, breaking their heads and bleeding, and the flames on their bodies were also burning......

The soldiers who attacked the city were burned to death and nearly 1,000 people were killed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the nearly 1,000 soldiers pushing the battering ram, they were about to come to the front of the city, when suddenly the huge stones on the city rained down suddenly.

Zhou Yong, who was pressing the formation behind, was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin.

The gong sounded, and the soldiers fled back. Zhou Yong's count of the number of people was actually as much as 1,500 people, including four battalion commanders. Looking at the still burning corpses and ladders on the edge of the city, Zhou Yong ordered the troops to be withdrawn with a gloomy expression.

Returning to Dazhai, Zhou Yongjing went to the big tent of the Chinese army and came to ask for guilt.

Guan Ping knew that he was defeated and returned, and comforted: "Victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common thing in soldiers. What's more, this defeat is beyond your power to change! If he had been condemned, he would have been punished for the first sin! ”

Xu Yi, Dian Man, Tian Kai and others were also on the side to consol. Zhou Yongfang was relieved.

Guan Ping was very curious about Zhang Jin and asked, "Tian Jian Jun, do you know who in Ma Pass has such a good skill in defending the city?" "He wants to find out what kind of divine god has such a powerful ability to defend the city. The invincible conquest of the Han army was blocked here today, and he Guan Ping can't afford this reputation!

"Although Shi Yi is quite resourceful, if you talk about defense, he may not have such ability!" Tian Kai pondered for a moment, and searched in his memory for this information about his father Tian Feng's introduction to the Jiaozhou Shi family before this expedition, although he specially emphasized that the Shi family had a Shi Yi and Shi Wu, and one Wen and one Wu were very powerful, but he did not say that this Shi Yi was an expert in defense! Then he said, "Why don't you send the wolf-tooth guards to infiltrate the city and make inquiries?" ”

"It's good!" When Guan Ping heard this, he ordered: "Purple-clothed wolf fangs obey orders!" ”

"Whoa!" Suddenly, from the curtain behind Guan Ping, a big man dressed in purple and wearing a mask walked out - one of the wolf's tooth secret guards, responsible for secretly protecting Guan Ping'an, Guan Ping used to wear purple clothes for a long time, evoking purple-clothed wolf teeth. In fact, the wolf's tooth secret guard is also a royal spy responsible for monitoring the movements of these ministers, and these people are all loyal servants trained by Liu Qian.

"You will immediately go to the horse pass to find out who is blocking the passage of my army!" Guan Ping commanded.

"Whoa!" Ziyi answered, turned around and disappeared in front of everyone.

Two hours later, Ziyi returned to Guan Ping's tent and reported to Guan Ping: "General, the person who guards the city is called Zhang Jin, the cavalry captain of Cangwu County, Jiaozhou." This person was originally from Xuzhou, Central Plains, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and his parents died. He was captured and sold as a slave to the wilderness of Yunnan. He was quite tenacious, and in a tribal transaction among the barbarians, he was favored by Zhang Yu, a salt merchant from Cangwu County, who was a guest there, and bought it back home and accepted it as a righteous son. Later, Changyu took refuge in Shixie, and with the help of Shixie's relationship, he became the Taishou of Cangwu, and he became the cavalry captain of Cangwu County. It is said that the thousand-horse bandits led by the brothers Si Nanlan and Si Nanbo in Longchuan, Cangwu County, besieged him on a hill in Longchuan, and supported it for seven days and seven nights with only 500 people, until the arrival of the Changyu army to rescue him. ”

"What? Is there such a capable person? Guan Ping was shocked when he heard this.

It was Xu Yi who said on the side: "Brother Tan, why bother yourself? Isn't the emperor's brother about to subdue the barbarian king Meng Shu, and when Prime Minister Zhuge arrives here, there must be a strategy to break the enemy! I'll wait for the time being! ”

"That's a mistake. As a general, I don't want to forge ahead, and I rely on Prime Minister Zhuge to make it seem that you and my brother are incompetent, isn't it even more shameful for my father? Guan Ping shook his head to reject Xu Yi's remarks, and then said: "Brother Wei must find out this person's weaknesses and make them useful to His Majesty!" Ziyi, you go! ”

With that, he asked Ziyi to leave.

However, he was really helpless for a while on how to attack Maguan, so he called the generals and the Chinese army to discuss the matter......
