The pine of the upper plate, the stone of the plate, and the water of the lower plate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info peaks and stones each hug the terrain, competing with each other, there are many boulders on the plate wall, some stone walls are smooth and flat, if you move back for hundreds of years, I don't know how many literary tricksters will leave handwriting?

The so-called water of Xiapan refers to the river located in front of the mountain, this river has no name at present, it is called the Shuangtaizi River in later generations, the river enters the sea from Liaodong, and also the Bohai Sea, and flows into Liaodong Bay.

The stone in the plate refers to the many rocks on the mountainside of the mountain, these stones are strange in appearance, the stones are quite large, they stand on the mountainside in different ways, some are just the stones that support the ground at the bottom and seem to roll down at any time, some huge stones are half-buried in the soil, and there are occasional green pines on the stones, which looks peculiar in a flash.

Pine, the most common plant in eastern Liaodong is pine, it is hard to imagine that the halfway of the mountain is a mess of rocks, why the top of the mountain will stand countless pine forests.

Wei's North Korea is called Panguan in Panshan Liguan Pass, Panguan is unknown in history, only a small pen during the destruction of Wei's North Korea, it will be written not how important its geographical location is, but when Han destroyed Wei's Korea, he once fought a battle in Panshan, and more than 20,000 Han elite troops captured Panguan and left thousands of corpses in vain.

Panguan is said to be a pass, it is actually more like a fortress standing in front of the mountain gate, but this fortress is not four walls and stands, it only has a city wall and a gate to connect the front of the mountain, the surrounding relies on the mountain, the wall is four zhang high, and the inner length is stationed in the two thousand troops of Wei's North Korea.

After the Han army went to war against Wei's Korea, Weimeng withdrew all troops west of Liaodong. The withdrawn troops were stationed in Montenegro, Panshan and Perilous Towns in groups.

As one of the corners of Wei's Korean Liaodong barrier, Panshan urgently stationed 5,000 soldiers, and the number of troops increased dramatically to 7,000 after Panguan was reinforced. Panshan, together with Montenegro and Xiandu, became the military stronghold of the entire Liaodong. Among the three corners, there is a river in front of Panguan and a flank facing Liaodong Bay, which is the most dangerous one among the three military important places, so Wei's North Korea garrisoned 30,000 troops in Montenegro and 70,000 troops in the dangerous city, but only 7,000 were stationed in Panguan.

Lü Yan had his own reasons for choosing Panguan, although the terrain of Panguan was dangerous, it was located in a remote area, and if the Wei Korean army wanted to support Panguan, it needed to bypass the nameless river. As long as both sides of the river bank are controlled, the time for reinforcements from Wei's Korea can be greatly limited; The second is that even if the Black Mountain and the dangerous city are enterprising, the flank of the Yiwu Mountain is still threatened by the waterway; Third, after capturing Panshan, it is equivalent to capturing an outlet of Wei's Korea in Liaodong, and if Wei's Korea wants to sneak attack by sea, it can only take a long detour from other places to increase the range. The most important thing is that Wei Korea did not dare to provoke the Han State, so it would definitely not enter the sphere of influence of the Han State Naval Army.

The 50,000-strong army turned to Panshan, the main force of the cavalry turned to the northeast of Beizhen Flat to threaten Montenegro, and the remaining 60,000 infantry troops marched in the direction of the dangerous city to force the Da Liao River.

When Wei Da, the general of the western part of the Korean army, learned that the 'Han army' was starting to move, he sent a Jin Ling envoy (similar to the Han army's Hongling envoy) to warn the defenders on all sides. Before determining what the 'Han army' wanted to do, it strongly restricted the Wei Korean army from going out to fight in the field. He did not immediately judge the direction of the main attack of the 'Han army'. It was the cavalry that eliminated the possibility that the 'Han army' was going to storm Montenegro, and closely monitored the other two armies, which were mainly infantry troops.

Wei Da knew that Lu Yan's attack target was Panshan from the day he discovered the military movements of the 'Han Army' to the day he received an urgent report from the Panguan guard, and he laughed arrogantly when he heard that Lu Yan was only about to attack Panshan with 50,000 people: "Although Panshan has few soldiers, it is a dangerous place, if you want to capture Panguan with 50,000 people, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream!" ”

Smile and laugh, since Weida is a general who is good at defense, then he must also be a person with a steady temperament. He told the Montenegrin army not to move, and the 70,000 soldiers who desecrated the city were divided into three groups, leaving 30,000 men to defend the city. The remaining 40,000 soldiers were divided again, and 10,000 were sent to reinforce the Great Liao River. 30,000 men quickly moved south, preparing to threaten the flank of the enemy army in the mountains.

On the second day when Weida divided his troops to deal with Lü Yan, he received a battle report from the commander of Liaodong County (the same county Taishou), and another 'Han army' entered from the plains in the northeast of Liaoning, Wangping and Houcheng were lost, and the 'Han army' was marching towards Liaoyang City.

Wei Meng personally wrote a letter to Wei Da, asking Wei Da to guard the Liaodong barrier, and whether Liaodong can be held is a matter of life and death for North Korea.

Wei Da was frightened by this and did not lose his inch, of course he knew that he had to hold the Liaodong barrier and not let the two 'Han armies' meet, but if Liaoyang City was lost, whether to defend or not to defend the Liaodong barrier became secondary, once the rear city lost the Liaodong barrier, he could only be a lone army, and it was a matter of time before he was annihilated. The only thing that comforts Wei Da is that Mengchen is a fierce general, there are as many as 110,000 troops defending Liaoyang City, and the 'Han Army' on the North Road is a cavalry army, which can only stalemate and cannot attack at most, as long as the 'Han Army' on the West Road is blocked, this war will definitely be won by Wei's Korea before the winter comes.

Before closing......

Lü Yan looked at the corpses left behind by the first wave of tentative attacks under the four-zhang high city wall of Panguan, and a test gave him a rough idea of the range limit of the arrows in Panguan and the density of the Wei Korean army on the city wall. However, these judgments did not seem to have had much impact on the situation of the battle, because the terrain in this area was very disgusting, the siege troops could not fully deploy their positions, the number of people in each wave of siege was limited to less than 3,000, and the speed of the charge was reduced by the road full of rubble, and before they reached the city, they were greeted by the arrows of the guards and could not raise their heads.

"If only the craftsman camp were here......"

This is not the first time Lu Yan has sighed, there is only one reason why he talks about the craftsman's camp, and that is the ability of the craftsman's battalion to make siege equipment. He saw so many rocks on the ground, and his heart itched, if there was a stone-throwing cart here, how could it make the defenders of Wei's Korea laugh so rampantly?

In fact, the stone throwing vehicle has indeed appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is a kind of heavy weapon pulled by manpower, which can throw stones to the target, but the power at that time was not large, the stone weighed only a few kilograms, and could fly about 300 meters.

"Commander! The second wave of the attack is led by me! ”

The person who spoke was Zhang He, who had been poked in the head by Lu Yan, he had already taken off his armor and was wearing only a black cloth robe, holding a war knife no more than two feet long in his right hand, and a small leather shield tied to his left arm and elbow.

Lu Yan glanced at several captains behind Zhang He, who were also dressed as light soldiers, frowned and scolded: "What's the hurry! Let me take a closer look. ”

Light soldiers are not only brave soldiers, this type of army is also one of the main arms in the Qin army system, they never wear armor, and they are the most powerful in fighting tough battles and charging to attack the city, and the light soldiers also appeared in the Tang Dynasty in later generations, but at that time it was changed to a name called jumping soldiers, and the duty was also changed from the daring men to charge the enemy's key points to a commando similar to the special forces harassing the rear of the enemy.

"What did the scouts find? Have you found any terrain around the pass where you can use the terrain to shoot arrows at the walls of the pass? ”

Zhao Jun, who was also one of the deputy commanders, replied: "The mountain road is difficult, and the steep slopes are guarded by enemy troops everywhere, and if you want to go up the mountain, you need to attack strongly, so it is no different from a frontal attack on the pass." ”

Lu Yan frowned deeply, he aimed his gaze at the open space directly in front of the pass, where the piles of rocks erected were only up to the waists of adult men, but it was precisely because of those piles of stones that the soldiers besieging the city needed to run in twists and turns, and even carried a siege ladder had to be careful not to crash into the stones and make the ladder fail. When they first entered the range of the defenders, the terrain became open, and there were no stones to dodge the arrows, and rushing all the way was equivalent to hitting the arrows, and the three thousand siege soldiers were still half of the remaining under the city, which was already good.

"Attack again!"

Zhang He was about to respond loudly, "Oh! But he was pulled by the captain beside him, and turned around and glared angrily: "What are you doing!?" ”

The sturdy lieutenant pointed to the officers of the infantry army: "The commander wants them to attack." ”

There is no cannon in this era, so the word cannon fodder does not exist, but the officer named is undoubtedly the dead soldier that Lu Yan wants to send out to test the weakness of the defenders of Panguan with his life.

The 3,000 infantry troops were assembled, and they howled at the instigation of the officers, "Rush with me!" Under the loud roar, the three thousand soldiers rushed forward with a "wow-wow" scream. They rushed into the pile of rocks to choose a way to walk, and the soldiers carrying the siege ladder lifted the ladder with difficulty, and sometimes they were tripped by a stone, and the whole echelon fell, and the wooden ladder hit the soldiers who charged next to them, and they fell in pieces.

As soon as a soldier stumbled out of the pile of rocks, a gong sounded above the panguan, and the rapid beating sound just stopped, and it was also shouted in the Central Plains dialect "Shoot!" Thousands of feathered arrows roared into the air and tilted towards the besiegers who were charging hard, and the officers leading the team shouted, "Stand shield!" Stand shield! The siege soldiers who failed to form an effective shield array could not stop the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and some soldiers were constantly being shot by arrows and howling miserably.

"The range of the arrows of the Panguan defenders can reach the pile of rocks, and ......it is impossible to move the rocks if you want to move them."

"What then?"

"You can only attack to the death!"
