Chapter 14 Jia Meng Xiongguan

The peak is connected to the jade base, the ground is connected to the Jincheng, the sword pavilion is with the budding, the Jialing and the pillow white water, the male of the Chengtian is also.

This is the precipitousness of the ancients to describe Jiameng Pass, the mountain peak is directly connected to Chengdu Yulei Mountain, and the dangerous place goes directly to Jincheng (that is, Chengdu), located in Jiange County, Jiameng Pass in the past, is Jiange Road, the end, pointing directly to Chengdu.

The mountain peak of Jiameng Pass stands majestically, from the early morning, countless troops have gathered in front of Jiameng Pass, on the chariot in the middle of the battle, Guo Jia is sitting calmly and leisurely, the chariot is inserted with a big silk, and the pennant flutters in the wind.

Since the early morning soldiers knocked on the Jiameng Pass, four hours have passed, and the red is slanting westward, and the dusk is falling, but the Jiameng Pass has not yet been taken, which really makes Guo Jia angry.

Zhang Baicai led 25,000 soldiers, a total of 15,000 soldiers under Gan Ning Zhou Tai, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses to storm Jiameng Pass for more than three hours, but only 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jiameng Pass has not been able to take it for a long time.

The soldiers carried the ladder under the cover of the crossbowmen to attack the Jiameng Pass, the ladder had already taken the Jiameng Pass, and the fighting on the city tower never stopped for a moment, but the defenders of the Jiameng Pass were condescending, falling down the solid stones, pouring boiling oil, that is, not letting the enemy climb the city tower.

The car crashed again and again in vain, but the rain of arrows on the city tower never stopped.

This is a male pass, as long as the guards can't hold out, there is no outwitting at all, Guo Jia wants to take the Jiameng Pass, can only attack, and he does not have a well and a catapult, the well can be used by the crossbowmen to stand on a high place to shoot at the defenders of the pass, the power is greatly increased, the catapult strike area is larger, the lethality is stronger, but he does not have this, he can only rely on the soldiers to continue to climb the ladder to rush the city tower, and the car slams the gate under the city tower, but it has become a live target for the defenders.

"Yuan Zhi, how are the casualties?"

Guo Jia closed his eyes, and the tragic battle situation under Jia Meng Pass not far away had numbed his heart.

Xu Shu also saw the scene of a mountain of corpses for the first time, and after thinking about it, he rode a horse next to Guo Jia and said: "General Zhang's department suffered the heaviest casualties, and the casualties under General Gan and General Zhou were slightly lighter, and our army had almost 10,000 casualties, not counting the wounded, and the casualties of the defenders of Jiameng Pass would not exceed 8,000." ”

Guo Jia, who was indifferent, did not ask any more questions, nor did he have any combat instructions, and the tragic battle continued.

Another hour passed, and the two armies were still in a stalemate in the fortress, unable to attack or retreat, and only one corpse after another lay in front of the pass.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Xu Shu said to Guo Jia with a sad face: "Lord, it's about to be night, the soldiers have been fighting for a while, and they are exhausted. ”

Not a drop of water has entered, the rations have not been eaten, yesterday I was full, and now I am hungry, how could Guo Jia not think of this, he himself feels empty just by sitting, but now he can't retreat.

"Husband fights, courage also, a drum is like a tiger. Yuan Zhi, I led an army of nearly 150,000 soldiers to knock on the Jiameng Pass, the defenders of Guanzhong were only 20,000, at the time of the first battle, they must be afraid in their hearts, at this moment it is just the last trace of resistance in their hearts to drive them to fight to the death, if I retreat at this time, the Taiping army will definitely be weakened, and the defenders in the city will be confident that they will fight again, and the casualties of our army will be even worse than today. Breaking the Jiameng Pass, it can only be called the first battle today, and then it will be taken later, and the casualties are heavy, and I will not be able to go south to capture Chengdu. ”

This is of course the art of war, and Guo Jia has not yet said the cruel reason that cannot be declared.

He wants elite soldiers, elite soldiers, not trained, but killed!

No matter how hard the training is in peacetime, no matter how strict the military discipline is, it seems that it is indeed a well-trained and forbidden strong army, but the real tiger and wolf division can only be truly formed after the baptism of countless wars.

Broad view and about to take, thick accumulation and thin hair.

Even if he wins Yizhou, Guo Jia also knows that the land of Yizhou can't afford to raise more than 200,000 troops, at least in the early stage, so he must go to the bad and save the essence, attack Yizhou and fight bloody battles, and lead the army south to nearly 250,000, and in the end, I am afraid that what will be left will not exceed 150,000.

Guo Jia didn't care, even if he only left 100,000, he was satisfied, the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves was far more powerful than the army of millions of sheep.

"Tell Zhang Baiqi to lead the army back, Gao Shun, you lead five thousand foot soldiers under your command, replace Zhang Baicai, and within an hour, give me the city tower!"

Guo Jiajun gave an order, and Gao Shun immediately took the order to direct the soldiers to prepare for the siege.

There are 5,000 cavalry under Gao Shun's command, which is Guo Jia's trump card now, and he still has 5,000 foot soldiers under his command, and the soldiers are solid, under Gao Shun's training, they have begun to take shape in the camp.

The defenders of Jiameng Pass were relieved when they saw Zhang Baicai leading the army to retreat, but they didn't expect that Gao Shun, who was strong in armor and fighting equipment, led the army to fill the vacancy left by Zhang Baicai.

The defenders had just relaxed their will, and then they became nervous again, but one by one made them a little more timid.

Gao Shun's 5,000 sword and shield soldiers are the strongest in the army under Guo Jia's command, the speed of climbing the ladder is amazingly fast, the killing intent is surging without fear, even if the body bleeds more than once, he swears to die, which is enough to be called an elite soldier.

After this new rush, half an hour later, Gao Shun's troops finally killed the city tower, although they could not form a scale to capture the city tower, but the defenders in the city were shocked, and they fought back frantically, wanting to drive the enemy down the city tower and cut off the way for them to attack and kill.

Guo Jia, who watched the battle with an expressionless face, knew in his heart that the three generals Zhang Baiqi, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai led the army to attack the city were just cannon fodder, and the casualties would definitely not be small, but to consume the strength and will of the defenders, someone must make sacrifices, and the real trump card and killing machine are often used when the two armies are deadlocked, and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop and dominate the world.

"Xu Chu, Dian Wei, order the two of you to lead the army to storm the city gate, and don't miss the fighter plane made by General Gao."

The fighter plane is fleeting, and at this moment, most of the attention of the defenders of Jiameng Pass is attracted by Gao Shun on the city tower, although the city gate is not empty, but the reduction of resistance is inevitable.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the army forward, and the army behind them pushed the cart to follow, and the two dismounted when they were still a hundred steps away from Jiameng Pass.

Dressed in heavy armor and holding weapons, the two men walked side by side, and the two rows of sword and shield soldiers in front of them held their shields high to resist the rain of arrows from the castle tower.

Both of them are fierce generals who are as strong as a mountain, their steps are steady and loud, and with the crisp sound of their armor, they are unparalleled.

Without blinking, he walked towards the city gate, Xu Chudianwei was not afraid, Guo Jia looked from behind, and under the afterglow of dusk, he only saw two people with a bear and a tiger on their backs.

Before Jia Meng closed the city gate, there were already two rushing cars constantly hitting the city gate, but they couldn't shake the city gate for half a minute.

After Xu Chu Dianwei arrived, the rushing car behind the two also pushed up, the four rushing cars stood side by side, Xu Chu Dianwei supported the rushing car on the left and right, and then Xu Chu ordered the soldiers behind him: "Watch me and General Dian move, and hit the city gate together!" ”

I have to say that the generals have such a style as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, which can always make the soldiers feel down-to-earth, and there is a feeling of following the right person.

After Xu Chu and Dian Wei glanced at each other, they shouted in unison, and then used all their strength to hold the car and crash towards the city gate, and the middle two cars were smashed into the city gate by the soldiers together.

bang

As if the mountains were shaking, the city gate that had not moved for a long time actually trembled, and the eyes of the soldiers bloomed with excitement, and they saw the hope of the city being broken.

On the one hand, the defenders of Guannei moved back and forth to rush up to the city tower to resist the attack outside the city, and they had to fight with Gao Shun's troops in the gap of the city tower, and now, the defenders who resisted the city gate were shocked and frightened.

Bang bang bang

Each impact terrified the defenders, as the gates trembled more and more, and cracks began to appear in the middle of the gates.

Bang bang

The gates of the city are broken!

The defenders went forward and used manpower to resist the gate, but they could no longer resist the trend of Xu Chudianwei attacking the city gate.

bang

The city gate was wide open, and even the gate on one side was smashed in half, Xu Chudianwei looked at the defenders who were lying on their backs inside the city gate, and without saying a word, he stepped forward to fight.

The two walked side by side, the pace was always not hurried, in the face of the soldiers who came up, waving their hands was a knife and a halberd, and suddenly a crossbowman shot arrows, and the sword and shield soldiers next to the second general immediately surrounded the two generals, raising their shields to resist the arrows.

Dian Wei turned around and took the ten halberds from his men's hands, and then turned and waved them, like javelins shooting away, and the halberds hit several crossbowmen.

Seeing the general's might, the soldiers behind him were all inspired and bravely rushed forward to fight the defenders.

When Xu Chu and Dian Wei smashed the city gate open, Guo Jia, who was sitting in the chariot, immediately stood up, drew his sword and waved, and said loudly to Jia Mengguan: "The generals will listen to the order!" Attack the Jiameng Pass! ”

The city gate has been lost, the enemy army has poured into the pass, and the defenders on the city tower have instantly collapsed their will to resist, or flee or surrender.

The city gate was not enough for Guo Jia's army to sweep through Jiameng Pass for a short time, but the soldiers climbed the ladder from outside the pass to capture the city tower, and the tide generally poured into Jiameng Pass.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the bones of Jia Mengguan under the afterglow are like mountains, and the blood stains the earth, which makes people can't help but feel terrified.

After entering Jiameng Pass, listening to Xu Shu's post-war statistics, Guo Jia frowned, Gan Ning Zhou Tai, Xu Chu Dianwei, Zhang Bai rode Gao Shun, six generals took the lead and sent 55,000 soldiers to capture Jiameng Pass, and finally ended up with more than 13,000 killed, wounded for a short time or a long time can not fight again, more than 18,000, although there are nearly 10,000 soldiers, but these 10,000 soldiers cannot be immediately incorporated into the army, after all, attacking Chengdu, where are their fathers and villagers, they can only pay weapons and armor to arm their own army.

Looking at the Southern Sword Pavilion Road from afar, Guo Jia gritted his teeth and sighed: What a Jiameng Xiongguan, I lost 30,000 troops!
