Chapter 20 Attack and Defend Superiority

Shangyong offense and defense

Time passed slowly, and the wailing above and below the city walls became more and more miserable, and it was almost an hour; Although it is said that many Cao soldiers climbed the city wall, in the end only the corpses remained, and Wu Hua was also anxious when he saw that he could not complete the task in an hour; Jumped off the war horse and grabbed a shield from the hands of the guards and began to run towards the direction of the ladder, the soldiers saw their own general personally attacking the city, and suddenly their morale soared, Wu Hua continued to run towards the ladder, and on the way he also took off the general's robe, and boarded a ladder that had just been built, and he was very lucky that he was neither poured by boiling water nor hit by rolling stones, and stabbed to death a soldier who was about to stop him immediately climbed the city wall, and then many Cao soldiers climbed up with this road, and Yan Tong, who was commanding the battle situation, saw the situation here without saying a word, He led the guards and rushed forward.

The reason why Wu Hua dared to say that he could open the city gate with 3,000 people was not because he was arrogant, he himself had extraordinary courage and force; No one on the city wall where Wu Hua passed could be him, and gradually the gap on the city wall became bigger and bigger, and more and more Cao soldiers climbed up.

"Wang Lin, you lead a hundred people to destroy the enemy's ladder immediately, drive them all down, I will meet this fierce man" After saying that, Yan Tong faced Wu Hua without hesitation.

In one round, Yan Tong knew that he was not Wu Hua's opponent, but it was too late to retreat, so he had to grit his teeth and die; Fortunately, Wang Lin had already been lightning fast and destroyed the cloud ladder; Dozens of people who had just climbed the city were also wiped out, and when they saw the situation on the city tower, the Cao soldiers under the city rushed even more fiercely; The Yan Tong in the city had withdrawn from the duel with Wu Hua, Wang Lin led the army to make up for it, but it was still difficult to subdue Wu Hua, and the Cao soldiers continued to climb the wall under the city, and Yan Tong returned to the position he commanded, and began to continue to arrange defensive forces.

Although Cao soldiers continued to climb the city, they did not achieve any decisive results; At this time, the war drums of the retreating army had sounded in the Cao army's camp, and the troops that had just attacked the city retreated like a tide, and Wu Hua also grabbed a cloud ladder and slid down, but was bitten by the eyeless arrow behind, which didn't seem to have any effect on Wu Hua, and the backhand pulled out the arrow and immediately splashed five steps away.

The time has gradually come to the afternoon, and the Cao army has sent 5,000 soldiers to take the city this time, and the fighting spirit is bound to win.

The battle drummed up, Cao soldiers were still surging like a tide, looking at the formation of the Cao army, Yan Tong had no choice but to transfer two hundred people from each of the remaining three gates to the east gate, and now the rest of the city gate is only one hundred people left to guard, the battle at the east gate is becoming more and more intense, and the casualties on both sides are gradually rising, and the blue and white city wall has been invaded by blood at this moment.

Just when the east gate was stuck, a large number of Cao troops suddenly rushed out of the west gate of Shangyong City and approached the west gate, and at this time, only the last hundred people were guarding the west gate;

"Report, the general Cao Jun suddenly appeared at the west gate, there were 5,000 people, and they were already approaching the city wall," a guard at the west gate ran to the east gate with a panicked look to report to Yan Tong.

When Yan Tong had just finished listening to the soldier's report, he felt that he had collapsed, "Shangyong is over, young general, I'm sorry for your trust" After speaking, Yan Tong took a knife and resolutely walked up to the city wall to fight with Cao Bing.

It was also when Cao Bing's ladder had been erected on the wall of the West Gate, when all the guards at the West Gate were desperate, and when Yan Tong was ready to kill to serve the country;

The guards at the South Gate showed that long-lost smile; Because they saw the banner of 'Liu' rushing towards this side, and the yellow sand was rolling behind them, they immediately shouted loudly, "Major General is here 、、、."

Wait until Liu Feng is close to the south gate city wall, "report; The general was about to go to the west gate, and the west gate highlighted a large number of enemy troops, and the scouts behind him came to report.

At this time, Liu Feng also vaguely heard the sound of weapons colliding, "The whole army obeys the order, follow me to the West City Gate"

The 8,000 soldiers immediately turned to kill the West Gate, and at this time, the West Gate siege Cao army had already climbed the ladder and was in a dilemma;

The general of Cao's army resolutely gave the order to retreat, because he believed that this army had been waiting for him to attack and ambush him later, otherwise how could time be so coincidental.

The West City Gate Cao Jun hurried like a wave at the sea level, and passed away, Liu Feng arrived at the West City Gate to relieve the siege and then led the army to the East Gate non-stop, after all, it was the main battlefield;

At this time, the main battlefield was showing a one-sided trend, Cao Jun continued to pour into the city tower to harvest the lives of the soldiers defending the city, and Yan Tong was exhausted、、、 was preparing to commit suicide.

"General Yan, General Yan, see that the young general is back" The guards at the south gate were also frightened when they saw Yan Tong's actions, and immediately shouted loudly, but the result was that they were hacked to death by a group of Cao soldiers.

Yan Tongyi was immediately relieved when he heard this, and shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived、、、

When the soldiers heard the clarion call for reinforcements to arrive, they were naturally overjoyed and their morale doubled; As soon as Liu Feng's army arrived, the drums of the retreating army sounded again.

"Young General, you're here, I won't be able to see you a moment later" Yan Tong saw Liu Feng like a desperate person in the dark night, and saw the light of the lighthouse.

"General Yan is fortunate, if it weren't for General Yan, I would have come for nothing, you go down and rest quickly, and Shangyong City will rest assured that it will be handed over to me."

"The major generals are all at the head of the city, how can I evacuate, I can still kill him a few times back and forth"

"Okay, since this is the case, General Yan can continue to arrange to defend the city, if there are not enough soldiers, come to me, and I will supervise the army" Liu Feng fulfilled the wish of the hot-blooded man beside him.

Cao Jun's camp: "How did this battle be fought, there were reinforcements coming from the other side, and our scouts didn't find out," Xu Huang reprimanded the scout person in charge next to him like crazy.

"General, we have already discovered the enemy army before, but the enemy is marching too fast, and the terrain here is not suitable for horseback riding, so the news will be sent late" The scout also looked a little helpless, and he must have scolded Liu Feng thousands of times in his heart.

"If others can march like this, the scout should be faster, and the scout should be punished with thirty military staffs" Xu Huang gave a military order; Think about how old you are really old.

"Inform the army to rest for the time being today, and attack the city tomorrow, now the morale of the defenders is high, and it is not easy to attack again" Xu Huang reluctantly gave an order

Newcastle; In the conference hall, I saw that there were people sitting inside who Zhuge Qiao brought out from Chengdu, "We came out of Chengdu and marched all the way to Shangyong to help Liu Feng fight against a strong enemy. It's been so long since Liu Feng didn't send anyone to come, proving that Shangyong is still in his hands, and Wei Yan is coming, it's safe here, and we should leave for the next destination."

"Tun Chief, where is our next destination?" Liu Yu asked first

"Go north, go to the Meridian Valley in Hanzhong, which is the most direct road in Hanzhong to cross the Qinling Mountains to reach the Guan; Remember not to tell anyone what we are trying to do, or you will alert the enemy."

"When to go"

"I will leave tomorrow, without passing through any county, and take all the mountain roads to reach the valley mouth within 20 days."

After that, Zhuge Qiao went to the barracks to visit those wounded soldiers, "Wolf Tooth" died twenty-four people in the first battle, can 'Wolf Tooth' still fight like this" Zhuge Qiao kept asking himself.

In fact, the reason is very simple, after all, the wolf teeth have only been established for a long time, the foundation is not solid, and the combat experience is insufficient, but after this baptism of blood and death, I believe they should grow a lot.

Before dawn the next day, Zhuge Qiao left the new city with his original troops, and it was impossible for Shangyong City to be captured, although Xu Huang was still attacking the city, he only needed to wait for Wei Yan to lead the Han sergeant to the siege of Shangyong as soon as he arrived, so he didn't need to continue to defend the new city, and it was enough to leave a letter to pass to Liu Feng.

After leaving the new city, they began again, training and marching in the field with heavy loads; If you ask Zhuge Qiao who came out of Chengdu this time, who is more important between Meridian Valley and Liu Feng, you can only choose Meridian Valley as the main line and Liu Feng as the copy.

After the battle of Shangyong New City, the enthusiasm of the soldiers was obviously high, and the dagger became their main weapon, in this war they all knew that a short dagger can actually play a huge role, at this time belongs to the Shu Han Empire's first full sense of the special operations force has been truly presented in front of everyone's eyes.

After nearly fifteen days of long marching, Zhuge Qiao's team finally approached the mouth of the Meridian Valley; When he was close to the mouth of the Meridian Valley, Zhuge Qiao found that the original Meridian Valley Mouth was not as narrow and steep as he imagined, the Meridian Valley Mouth was completely a wide avenue, but it was presented in front of passers-by in a very barren form, although Zhuge Qiao didn't want to believe that the Meridian Valley Mouth looked like this, but he really showed it here, if it weren't for the people near here who said that this was the Meridian Valley, he wouldn't believe it anyway.

It's just that after that, he was indifferent, after all, when Emperor Gaozu was the emperor, Han Xin took this road, if this road is really too steep, then how can Han Xin's tens of thousands of people pass.

"Into the valley," Zhuge Qiao shouted; The reason why this mission will enter the Meridian Valley is to explore the garrison situation of the 'Meridian Pass' in the valley and the topography of the Meridian Valley, where the troops can be garrisoned, the time required to pass through the Meridian Valley mountain road, and the training of soldiers here, so as to prepare the premise for sending troops to the Meridian Valley during the Northern Expedition.

On the second day of entering the valley, the mountain road was completely changed, and landslides occurred in many places due to the abandonment of the Meridian Valley, which caused great difficulties for the march. There are also some places that need to be attached to the mountain wall to pass, cliffs, sheep intestine paths, and lofty mountains; "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky" Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but spit out this sentence out of his mouth;

"Tun Chief, you said that even if we can safely cross the Meridian Valley during the Northern Expedition, but after that, we are definitely a group of tired soldiers, how can we fight against the Cao army," Qin Shan asked with great feelings

"So we can't let the enemy know that we have crossed the Meridian Valley, we take the opportunity to reorganize our army for two days, and finally surprise our troops to take the pass"
