Yizhou army garrison sword pavilion of the opening of the general Miao Chinese in his thirties, seems to be a capable and experienced man, his ancestral home is Longxi, and later his father fled to Hanzhong with his family, specializing in doing business with the people of the horse gang, so he made a fortune in Hanzhong, Miao Chinese did not like to read since childhood, but liked to dance with guns and sticks, his father then paid for him to buy a Hanzhong County Government Ya Sima when he was 20 years old, under the leadership of more than 1,000 people, usually practice when there are thieves and mobs attacked, they are responsible for guarding Hanzhong. Although he has not made much contribution, he has some ability to march and fight in these years.

It's a pity that the opponent this time is the powerful Yuwentai Group, and if an unknown person like Miao Huaren wants to rely on him to become famous, the chances are very small, and the difficulty can be imagined. Sword Pavilion is a city, the size is equivalent to Jinshou City, and thirty miles away before it is Jianmen Pass, this Jianmen Pass is a checkpoint built by the mountain pass, according to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang let people dig out an artificial passage on the cliff of Dajian Mountain, nominally to facilitate the travel of past merchants, in fact, it is for the military purpose of soldiers to sweep the Central Plains out of Qishan.

Since it is a pass, it must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, because the Jianmen Pass covers a small area, and the two sides are connected with the surrounding mountains, so as long as a small force is stationed inside, a large number of people can be killed, it is a difficult to cross the checkpoint, even if Wei Shouding breaks the Jianmen Pass, but the thirty-mile plank road can not march in a hurry, as long as the Miao people destroy the plank road at the end of the Sword Pavilion, then they will not be able to advance at all.

When the Yuwentai army went out, some people also said about this matter, although the road to enter the Sword Pavilion in Hanzhong was tighter but more risky, once it was blocked in the plank road of the Sword Gate Pass, then they could only return the same way, but instead took the Chencang area in Longxi to go north to Minzhou through Weishui, and detoured to Minshan to the north of Shenzhou County, the road must be very difficult and distant, but this road can go straight to Zitong County behind the Sword Pavilion, and Yizhou is completely defenseless.

But such a road will take at least a month or two, no one dares to guarantee whether the combat effectiveness of the sea area when the army arrives in Zitong, Yuwentai decided to take risks in order to capture Yizhou as soon as possible, and the army went straight to Hanzhong and Jiange all the way, and the journey was fast but the risk of failure was also high.

Everyone thought that Yuwentai was going to be suffocated this time, but unfortunately they didn't know that as early as when the army went out, he had already asked Su Sui to secretly buy off the guards of Jianmen Pass, do you think that even people like Fei Gong can be connected with him, what else can a small pass guard be busy with? Wei Shouding's 10,000 vanguard troops had just arrived at the pass, and the guards over there opened the gate and let them pass, followed by Yuwentai's Chinese army also passing one after another.

To say that Xiao Lun's most failed place in this battle is to appoint Miao Huaren as the guard of the Sword Pavilion, and Miao Huaren's contempt for the defense of Jianmen Pass and the negligence of the plank road defense are also fatal, in short, this is a chain reaction, and the so-called improper use of people is vividly reflected in this key battle. A guard at a critical pass didn't even know that he had been rebelled, and Miao Huaren's ability to control it can be seen.

That night, the Miao Chinese were still sleeping soundly in the Sword Pavilion City, Wei Shouding's army had already come to the city, and the defending Sichuan army did not have time to make defensive resistance, so the Wei army captured three city gates, only the city gate at the southwest end had not been lost, but when the Miao Chinese learned that the Wei army fell from the sky, they only sighed helplessly, and fled to Zitong alone.

Early the next morning, Yu Wentai was already sitting in the office in the Sword Pavilion City, and had breakfast with Su Sui, Xie Sichun and others. The Sword Pavilion was easily taken down, and Su Xuan's rebellion had to make the first contribution, so Yuwentai specially served porridge for him at breakfast, so that Xie Sichun and the others were jealous and red-eyed, Su Xuan was pampered and calm as usual, he was very appreciative of this, and not everyone can do it.

Xiao Lun's side was also eating in Zitong City, but when he learned that the Sword Gate Pass was lost and Miao Huaren abandoned the troops and fled back, half of the fritters in Xiao Lun's hand fell on the table, and the boss with a long mouth looked at the attendant who passed the word with an incredible expression. Xiao Lun was almost slapping the table and cursing, and there were Miao Chinese kneeling in the audience, a general of a military important place actually slept peacefully under the pressure of the enemy, and he didn't even know that his subordinates were plotted against him, which was simply unreasonable.

"Even if it's patrolling, do you want to come out and walk around, my General Miao?!" Xiao Lun was completely speechless to him, but the most unlikely thing happened really, which caught him off guard and couldn't accept it. Wang Su could only get up and comforted: "The king, it is useless to blame him now, let's hurry up and discuss the countermeasures, the old man estimates that this Yuwentai's army will soon go south to besiege this place, please return to Guanghan to supervise the battle, this city will be garrisoned by the old minister, so that Yuwentai knows and knows the majesty of our Sichuan army." ”

This is a beautiful word, how can Xiao Lun not hear it, but he has not thought about how to deal with Yuwentai's army, and now the fall of Jianmen Pass is completely beyond his original plan. But since the Wei army had attacked, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, so he left his youngest son Xiao in Guanghan, and he and his eldest son Xiao Jian led the army to prepare to meet Yuwentai.

Xiao Cheng grabbed Xiao Jian's hand with tears and snot beside the carriage, and cried: "Big brother, I want to stay, my father and you are here, I don't want to go back, I want to stay." Xiao was in a bad mood, because he had seen the combat effectiveness of the Western Wei army, and he knew that it was very likely that he would have no return, but as the eldest son of the family, he had no choice, and even Xiao Lun was on the front line at this moment, indicating that this was a war related to the survival of the family and that they could not afford to lose.

On the contrary, as the youngest son, Xiao does not have this kind of pressure at all, he does not have to carry any baggage, he does whatever he wants, and goes wherever he wants, which makes Xiao Jian very jealous, coupled with his father's usual preference, which makes him even jealous of his own brother in his heart. At this time, Xiao Qu's willfulness made Xiao Jian very angry in his heart, so he rudely shook off Xiao Qu's hand, turned his back to put on his helmet, and said in a heavy and slow tone: "Don't be willful, our battle with Yuwentai is related to the survival of the country, and if you don't do it well, you will be in a different place, and my father asked you to go back to Guanghan because I was worried that if we couldn't go back, you could still keep a trace of blood for our family, understand?" ”

Xiao Qu still begged unrelentingly, Xiao Jian's patience was really exhausted by him, he turned around and slapped him, and Xiao Qu was stunned with a crisp sound. Xiao Jian scolded loudly: "It's okay for you to be sober, what time is it now, do you think we are going to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" When will you grow up and mature? Then he pressed his hands on Xiao Qu's shoulders again, and said solemnly face to face: "Your hope as our reserve must live, because the queen mother and her sisters are still in Chengdu, you have to protect them for me, understand!" ”

Xiao Qu nodded blankly, feeling that his brother at this time was very different from usual, and there was really a kind of manliness in his body that made him have to obey him from the heart. Seeing Xiao Jian get on the horse and leave, he resolutely didn't even look back, Xiao Qu shouted behind him: "Big brother, I'm waiting for you and your father to return triumphantly in Guanghan!" He may not know that this is the last time he and Xiao Jian will meet.

There are nearly 20,000 Sichuan troops in Zitong City, 80,000 people stationed outside the city, and 4,000 people from the southern county, 5,000 people from Brazil County, 3,000 people from the northern county, and 3,000 people from the grain transportation team of Nantang County, a total of more than 110,000 people, and Wei Shouding's vanguard army is only 10,000 people, Xiao Lun has an absolute advantage, but Wei Shouding is not a fool, he is set up twenty miles away from Zitong City, waiting for the Yuwentai army in the rear to come and converge.

Seeing this, Wang Su led 20,000 horses to rob the camp without authorization, trying to preemptively strike at the time when Wei Shouding's army was still unstable, and hit the morale of the other party. Wang Su's 20,000 men slaughtered violently, Wei Shouding led the army to retreat, intending to lure Wang Su, Wang Su was also scheming, did not pursue but destroyed his camp and led his troops to retreat. Wei Shouding's 2,000 volts were beaten by Wang Su and wiped out by the autumn wind.

He really didn't understand how his strategy was seen through by Wang Su, in fact, Wang Su didn't know that he had an ambush at all, but Wei Shouding's forward army retreated before the battle began, and Wang Su knew from experience that there must be an ambush behind, so he just destroyed his camp and didn't chase deeply. In the final analysis, Wei Shouding's acting skills are too exaggerated and superficial, so he is recognized. As for the 2,000 volt soldiers, they saw the Sichuan army setting fire everywhere in their camp without receiving an order at all, and thought that the time had come, but who knew that they were annihilated in one fell swoop by Wang Su, who was about to retreat.

I have to say that Wei Shouding's first battle ended in defeat, but he was not without momentum, and after leaving 3,000 people to continue to build the camp, he himself led more than 4,000 people to make a detour to the south of Zhizitong to attack the grain transport team in Nantang, and set fire to their grain and grass, which can be regarded as an eye for an eye revenge attack. By the time Wang Su's arrival, he had already retreated, and the two sides had a draw at the beginning.

Yuwentai's army of more than 60,000 people was finally assembled, and the two sides set up a position in a narrow plain in the northeast of Zitong City. At noon, the battle began, first the archers on the left side of the Western Wei army began to shoot at Xiao Lun's Chinese army, and then Xiao Lun also let his own archery troops return fire, and then the infantry phalanx on the front side of the Western Wei Chinese army dispersed, and the cavalry behind began to rush out to attack Xiao Lun's front army.

Although the Sichuan army is large but mainly infantry, so it is a defensive formation, for the impact of the cavalry, Wang Su seems to have been prepared, the ironclad army rattan army has been put out, plus obstacles such as red deer, Yuwentai relied on the famous cavalry suddenly could not show their advantages, but was shot by the archers of the Sichuan army Countless casualties, and then the rattan army began to attack to harvest the remnants of the troops.

Yuwentai immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat, and then Wei Shouding personally led the team to outflank from the right flank, intending to open a passage on Xiao Lun's weakest left side and tear a hole. The left side of the Sichuan army was temporarily made up of miscellaneous soldiers and hunters recruited from several neighboring counties, and the combat effectiveness was very low, and when they encountered the same Wei Shouding infantry army as ******, they were quickly defeated, and the formation on the left side began to loosen and disperse, which was Xiao Lun hurriedly asked Wang Su to lead people to help suppress the formation.

As soon as Wang Su arrived, Wei Shouding had already discovered him, so he patted the horse and wanted to fight him alone, but Wang Su would not risk fighting with an unknown young general at this time, he commanded the troops to effectively resist Wei Shouding's attack, although the two sides flickered dead and wounded, but the situation was gradually controlled by Wang Su, Xiao Lun saw that the troops on the left had stabilized, and his heart was overjoyed, so that the sergeant made a noise and blew the horn, intending to always attack and rush a wave.

Yuwentai saw that Wei Shouding was no longer able to completely defeat Xiao Lun's troops on the left, and at this time, he actually missed Han Baohu infinitely, if he was present now, Xiao Lun on the opposite side would probably have fled back to the city with his tail between his legs. So on the one hand, he asked Wei Shouding to inform him to continue to flank and harass him earlier, and on the other hand, he asked Xie Sichun to send someone back to transfer Han to capture the tiger. This is a Fanbang general rushed to Yuwentai and loudly asked to fight. It turned out to be Han Xiong's subordinate general Di Lu, and his subordinates were still in charge of pressing the formation at the rear, Yuwentai was overjoyed when he saw this: "The Han family is a tiger general!" Go ahead and cheer you on. (To be continued.) )
