Chapter 102: The Battle of Shangyong Pass (5)
Chapter 102: The Battle of Shangyongguan (5)
Saying that he couldn't find two captives, Liao Hua secretly said, "It's not good!" ”
He immediately summoned his men and said, "Those two little men have run away." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If they go and deliver a letter to the people in the city, won't we lose a lot of success in waiting for this? Brothers, hurry to the county guard's mansion! ”
It is said that the person who guards this city and county is Zhang Lu's other younger brother, Zhang Gongren. That Shangyong Pass guards a mountain and a stream, Zhang Lu thinks that as long as Zhang Hui guards there, the Shangyong City and even Hanzhong City behind will be as stable as a mountain. Therefore, Zhang Lu sent two younger brothers to guard here, and even sent two of the five tigers to come. Some time ago, he was hunting in the mountains and accidentally injured his legs and feet, so he rested in this city. He had long known that his younger brother Zhang Hui had lost several battles, but because of his own injuries, he did not rush to the pass for reinforcements.
The two captives fled to his lodgings, and the boy, accompanied by a commander-in-chief, waited for news from the centurion he had just been dispatched.
"Report, General. Big things are not good. As soon as the two boys entered the courtyard of the county guard's mansion, they called out.
Zhang Zheng hurriedly called the two to him and asked the reason.
The two did not dare to conceal it, and told them everything about their capture, how the city defense battalion was killed, and the destruction of the patrol, but they concealed the conversation between them and the patrol.
Zhang was shocked when he heard it. In this way, these more than 200 people are all god-killing existences! They killed more than 400 city defenders and 200 patrols in succession. Such a great combat power was unconsciously wiped out by them, so how could the more than 100 people under their command be their opponents?
Zhang Shu immediately made a decision and ordered his men to come to the stables in the backyard, these horses were all scavenged by his brother in this Shangyong County after the uprising with Zhang Xiu, and they were usually only used to hunt with some guards. At this time, it was used as a tool for escape.
There is a mountain road from Shangyong City to Shangyong Pass for about three hours, leaving them to rush to Shangyong Pass to ask for help. Just say that the Shangyong Pass at this moment is also in jeopardy.
It turned out that Liu Bei sent people to challenge for several days, except for the beginning of Xue Ji's continuous beheading of the two tigers of the Yang family and the 1,000 Shangyong soldiers led by Yang Kai who led the brothers in the camp to slaughter Zhang Hui's general Li Ang on the sixth day, no one dared to go out of the city to face the battle.
Xu Shu believed that the morale of the soldiers in Shangyong City had dropped to a minimum. He came to the big tent of the Chinese army and asked Liu Bei and Zhang Jaw.
"The two generals, I think it's time to attack the city. Therefore, Shu Te came to ask for battle. ”
Liu Bei sat up from his seat, grabbed Xu Shu's hand with both hands and asked, "Is this true?" "It seems that they are really suffocating these days.
The open jaw on one side was also very happy to hear it.
Xu Shu smiled slightly and said, "The two generals are not in a hurry. Today is the time for the two generals to take down Shangyong Pass and Shangyong City for the lord. Invite the two generals to watch the battle for Shu, and see how Shu can break through the enemy's pass. ”
This guy is really mysterious enough, and the old god walked out.
Liu Bei and Zhang Jaw looked at each other and smiled, knowing that it was useless to ask any more questions, so they first went to the lookout and waited to watch how Xu Shu arranged the troops.
In a short time, three thousand stake-like objects poured out of the camp behind. At first glance, Liu Bei and Zhang Jaw were stunned, what are they trying to do?
But he saw that Xu Shu followed behind these wooden stakes with more than a dozen drummers carrying five-sided drums, and behind the drummers more than 3,000 soldiers holding ladders and pushing battering rams.
Xu Shu stopped when he led a group of soldiers to the place where there was still a stone in front of Shangyong Pass, and ordered the drummer to set up the big drum. After the drum is set up, two people stand on one side of the drum.
Xu Shu got off the horse, took the three-foot order flag from the hands of the soldier next to him, stood opposite the drummer, and waved the command flag. When the drummers received the order, they picked up the drumsticks and beat a drum "throughout".
I saw that the more than 3,000 guys who were like wooden stakes took the ladders and battering rams sent by the soldiers behind them, and began to move slowly towards the Shangyong Pass under the command of the drums.
Why slow moving? Because these guys are a bit big, and they seem to be very clumsy, and they move very slowly.
After they entered the range of the bow and arrow attack on the city, Zhang Hui ordered his archers to start firing their bows and arrows. For a time, the arrows on the city were like flying locusts, and these "wooden stakes" were really not afraid of life and death, and moved forward bravely. Each of them was stuck like a hedgehog with arrows, but they still half-raised their arms, stepping forward step by step.
About half a pillar of incense had passed, and these "wooden stakes" had already traveled to a distance of only three or five zhang from the wall of the pass. Suddenly, Xu Shu's banner waved again and gave another command. I heard the sound of the drums suddenly change, from the sound of "Tongtong......" at the beginning to the sound of "Tongtong, Tongtong, Tong".
The "stakes" immediately stopped their progress. What happened next was interesting, they turned around and started to retreat.
Zhang Hui didn't understand what was going on? But he didn't dare to send someone after him? He was afraid that this was a trick by the enemy to lure troops.
In less than half a pillar of incense, these "stakes" had withdrawn from the range of the arrows. I saw them come to Xu Shu one by one and stand in front of them, and the three leaders raised their stake-like arms to hold the wooden helmet on their heads, and took them off vigorously, revealing their heads hidden deep under the wooden helmets.
"Report to the military division, Fang Kuo, the commander of the 98th Battalion of the Volunteer Army, led his soldiers to report for duty."
"Report to the military division, Dong Fang, the commander of the 97th Battalion of the Volunteer Army, and lead his soldiers to report."
"The report army is, the 96th battalion of the Volunteer Army is in command of Wan Hai, and he led his soldiers to report for duty."
"Very well, come on, take the arrows off their bodies." Xu Shu said.
At this time, hundreds of people came up from behind and took down the arrows from the 3,000 "stakes". A little counting, the average of more than 70 per person. In less than a pillar of incense, more than 200,000 arrows were harvested, and this transaction was very good.
But at this time, Xu Shu was thinking about another thing. He's getting ready for the next round of attacks. He arranged for the soldiers of the three battalions to rest aside, and he arranged for the heralds to go to the battalion to redeploy the troops.
In a short time, a battalion of soldiers "squeaked" from the main camp and launched twenty-five tall catapults. This thing was made by Liu Qian while waiting for the Holy Order, and a total of fifty cars were made. This time Liu Bei Qing suppressed Hanzhong, and Liu Qian gave them twenty-five vehicles.
Twenty-five catapults were lined up, and huge stones were placed on them. Then a drum was heard, and twenty-five boulders rose into the air and flew towards the pass.
Zhang Hui really hasn't seen this thing, and he's watching it there! Suddenly, I noticed that this thing threw huge rocks and flew towards me. Choke this kid enough! Not to mention those soldiers who had no will to fight, they were really embarrassed one by one.
Xu Shu organized a catapult to throw stones, and at the same time ordered the three battalions of soldiers behind him and the three "stake" battalions to launch an attack on Shangyong Pass.
Where can soldiers who have no morale in the city still care to see if there are enemy soldiers attacking under the city? One by one, they hid faster than Zhang Hui. Xu Shu seized the state of the soldiers in Shangyongguan and began to send troops to attack. The three "stake" battalions untied the wooden Kai on their bodies, took off the wooden helmets on their heads, pushed the siege vehicles, and rushed towards the gate. The other three battalions took the ladder and rushed towards the wall......
Without the restraint of wooden armor, the soldiers of the ninety-sixth, ninety-seventh, and ninety-eighth battalions immediately returned to their original speed in action. The distance of more than a stone's throw does not seem far at the speed at which these people are traveling. In a quarter of an hour, they had already put the siege engines and ladders in place.
Led by six commanders and eighteen deputy commanders, six battalions of volunteers launched an attack on the enemy.
Just realizing that the boulder had stopped smashing, Zhang Hui raised his head, only to find that the enemy had already climbed the city wall. Only then did he realize that he was really stupid! The enemy is attacking the city with the help of catapults! But it may be too late now. The only way to do this is to suppress these enemies.
He immediately called for his guards and organized soldiers to come and stop the enemy.
The soldiers had just dodged the bombardment of the boulders, and had not yet recovered from the panic. How many people pay attention to Zhang Hui's shouting?
At this time, the three commanders who took the lead in rushing to the pass shouted while slashing and killing: "Soldiers of Shangyong Pass, surrender!" Lord Thorn has forgiven you. Don't rebel with rebels like Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu anymore! ”
Some of the soldiers even pretended to shout: "Don't kill me!" I give up! "Surrender! I threw my weapon away, knelt here, and no one would hurt me! ”……
This voice was like a drug, and it was wafting among these mediocre officers and soldiers who had lost their morale. They had just been dizzy from being smashed by a boulder, and they had long since lost the heart to fight. Once heard, surrender the news of your life. Think about it, who would give up the chance to live?
Zhang Hui's shouts had been completely masked by a group of surrenders.
I saw that the soldiers of Shangyong Pass threw down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, I surrender......"
Zhang Hui saw that the situation was not good! took Zhang Mancheng, who had been following him, and hundreds of personal guards, and quietly stayed behind, preparing to escape.
How do you know, "the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the broken ship encountered a head wind." "This kid is unlucky to come home. Just came to Guanxia, and he and Zhang Mancheng didn't even ride a horse. The city gate was broken by Fang Kuo, Dong Fang and Wan Hai.
was so frightened that Zhang Hui was really three souls and seven souls at that time, and there was only one soul and one soul left. Fortunately, Zhang Mancheng was by his side to remind him that he got on the horse and fled.
Shangyong Pass is lost. Zhang Hui took the guards of less than 300 people under his command and headed towards Shangyong City. But how did he know that at this time, his brother Zhang Zheng came to him with fewer guards than him to ask for help.
The two brothers are really more embarrassed than the other. After the rendezvous, the two had no choice but to flee in the direction of Chenggu with the remnants of their troops.
In this battle, less than 1,000 soldiers under Liu Bei and Zhang Jaw were killed, and more than 10,000 enemy soldiers were captured. Five days later, Liu Qian's army passed through Shangyong and marched in the direction of Fangling, Suiding, and Chengdu, and there was no resistance. And Liu Zhang's army raised troops to Chenggu and Hanzhong to crusade against the rebellion of Zhang Lu's side. After this battle, Zhang Lu's soldiers scattered in Fangling, Shangyong and other places began to gather in the direction of Chenggu and Hanzhong.
In this battle of Shangyongguan, coffee does not want to be the beginning of the volume. Later, I saw that there were more requests to write about the campaign on the vote. Therefore, this battle of the mediocre was brought to the frontispiece. Liu Bei's branch is here for the time being, and now it is about to start the crusade against Zhang Xiu's lineage. The original intention of this roll of coffee is to start with a war and end with politics, interspersed with some emotional stories in between.
It's just that for emotional stories, coffee is not very well understood, and I hope that your relatives and friends will leave your opinions in the book review area of coffee.
