Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Battle of Bishui Pass (Second Update)

The night was dark, and the group of Sun Jianjun were full of wine and food, and they couldn't bear the bursts of tiredness, so they all went into the tent to rest, with the gusts of howling wind, the battle flags in the camp were hunting, and the swaying flames were constantly swinging.

Gongsun Yi was dressed in a military uniform, holding the hilt of a knife in his hand, standing in front of the barracks, looking in the direction of Bishui Pass, his eyes were calm, and he seemed to be thoughtful.

"Tomorrow is about to be a big battle, why don't you take a break from your grandfather?" Sun Jian also wore armor and was sharp, bowed slightly to Gongsun Yi, and looked at Bishui Pass in the distance and said casually.

"I heard that Hua Xiong, the general under the account of Dong Thief, led the army to nearly 10,000 towards Bishui Pass, if it is stationed to defend it, our army is not able to attack the city at all, once it loses the opportunity, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to enter Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo." Gongsun Yi sighed slightly, his words full of worry.

Huaxiong is not afraid, but 10,000 strong troops are stationed in Bishui Pass, as long as they can't defend it, the Kwantung Righteous Army will lose the opportunity, not to mention forcing Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an, I'm afraid there is no chance to get close to Luoyang.

Once Dong Zhuo eases up and mobilizes a large army from the northwest, it is very likely that the Kwantung Righteous Army will be defeated by a rush, and at that time, no one will be able to stop Dong Zhuo's offensive.

"Could it be that Lord Gongsun wants to attack Bishui Pass at night!" Sun Jian was shocked in his heart, seeing that Gongsun Yi was in high spirits, it was not impossible to plan to attack Bishui Pass at night.

"I think, it's a pity that the soldiers can't see at night, if they advance with torches high, it is tantamount to a live target, although there are not many troops stationed in Bishui Pass, but there are not a lot of arrows in reserve, and it is not a good strategy to attack at night."

Hearing that Hua Xiong led the troops to gallop in the starry night, Gongsun Yi also thought about attacking Bishui Pass at night, but after some exploration, he found that most of the soldiers were unable to see clearly and had difficulty in moving at night or in a dimly lit environment.

The frequent occurrence of night blindness is not only in Gongsun Yi's army, to be precise, the entire Han army can not fight at night, and the leading princes can only provide coarse grain for their subordinate soldiers, only when there is a big victory, there is a reward of wine and meat, how can you provide foods containing vitamin A such as eggs and carrots on weekdays.

"General Sun, I plan to attack at dawn!"

"Reasonable, at dawn the sky is hazy, those Xiliang troops who have defended all night must be sleepy, and although our army suffered heavy losses yesterday, but the Xiliang army is not happy, as long as it rushes into the pass in one go, the troops in the pass alone are not able to stop our army's strength, just ......"

Sun Jian wanted to speak and stopped, yesterday's fierce battle, not to mention the loss of soldiers, returned to the camp and actually ran out of food, under the complaints, the soldiers already had grievances in their hearts, if they attacked the city today, I am afraid that the soldiers could not serve to die, and the officers also hesitated, once they lost trust, it took at least a process to recover.

"It's okay, our army is attacking today, General Sun can lead the army as the rear army, and we will take Bishui Pass in one go!"

"Yes!"

Since Gongsun Yi sent grain and grass to solve the urgent needs of Sun Jian's army, the previous misunderstanding was naturally resolved, and there was no gap between the two armies, even if Gongsun Yi didn't say it, Sun Jian would invite Gongsun Yi to lead the army to attack the city together.

In order to surprise the city at the time of the siege, Gongsun Yi ordered most of the Xiao cavalry to slowly advance against the mountain wall, and came to the nearest position that was difficult to observe standing on the Bishui Pass.

*****

On the top of the city tower of Bishui Pass, a group of soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were on duty at night opened their bloodshot eyes, cautiously observed from afar, and immediately shouted the alarm as soon as there was an attempt to approach the enemy.

There are only a few hundred remnants in the city, almost all of them are wounded, although there are enough arrows and trees to defend the city, if Sun Jian's army attacks and kills again, it is difficult to guarantee that the city will not be broken and killed.

Just thinking of Lu Bu, who was like the god of war, the hearts of the armor soldiers suddenly became arrogant, and the original worries and fears were swept away.

"Sir, can we hold on?" A young man who looked to be no more than sixteen years old was carrying an iron halberd, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he looked at a military commander in his early thirties with anticipation.

"Don't think about it, take the blade, if those thieves dare to come forward, they will directly call over!" Wu Chang's tone was kind, and he patted the young man's head and chuckled.

In fact, this captain has always had a hot temper, and there are not a few soldiers who beat and scold him at every turn, otherwise he would not have been in the army for ten years and still be a captain, but after fighting for a long time, he has already beaten the temper of the captain of the army, and everyone who can stand here is good, so naturally there is no reason to be angry.

The sky was just bright, and at dawn, it was the most sleepy time, with a low and far-reaching horn sounding in the sky, countless armor soldiers carrying cloud ladders attacked and killed towards Bishui Pass, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

Originally, he was on duty at the head of the city, and the exhausted Xiliang army armor soldier was shocked, and the blade in his hand almost fell to the ground unsteadily, running back and forth in panic.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

A loud cry of fear resounded through the towers.

For a while, the drums were beating, waking up the sleeping Xiliang Army, and a group of Xiliang Army armor soldiers carried their blades in a panic, and ran over one by one, while draping the cloth armor on their bodies.

Thinking of Sun Jian's cruelty and killing, a group of soldiers of the Xiliang Army knew that the city would die if it was broken, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace, for fear that they would be attacked by the enemy army one step later.

A red lightning galloped away, Lu Bu put on armor and rushed to Chen Lou as soon as possible, Lu Bu jumped off his war horse and shouted: "Wait with me to defend the city!" ”

After that, the hand-held blades went towards the city tower, and the Xiliang army, which was originally panicked, was very determined, and for a while the fighting spirit was high, and followed Lu Bu towards the city, everyone clenched the blades, breathing more and more heavily, staring at the enemy troops from far and near.

Gongsun Yi ordered the cavalry to move to the periphery of Bishui Pass to camp at night, and with an order to advance in an all-round way, the incident happened suddenly, and the Xiliang army on Bishui Pass had no time to react, and the damage caused by scattered arrows was completely negligible.

Waiting for the archers of the Xiliang Army to be in place, the Xiao cavalry army has already attacked the city, many cloud ladders have been erected, and leaning on the wall battlements, before the attack, Gongsun Yi has already made a public announcement, the first to attack the Guanzhong official promotion of three levels, a reward of 100 gold.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, many Xiao cavalry soldiers fought bravely, dense sword and shield soldiers quickly climbed towards the city, from time to time someone fell from an arrow, was thrown down the wood, in the middle of the head climbing armor.

The plasma cracked, and with a scream, the Cavalry Armor who had lost its center of gravity fell down, knocking several people behind him down one after another, and soon there were more Cavalry Armorers holding blades, climbing up quickly one after another, and the front and rear were unstoppable.

Through the small hole in the wall, the armor of the Xiliang army pushed the ladder with a wooden pole, and from time to time the ladder with several armor soldiers was hung and fell to the ground, and they fell to the ground one after another when they were unstable for a while, and they fell to the ground and rolled left and right and wailed.

It's just that the offensive of the Xiao cavalry army is sudden, and the momentum is in full swing, and the psychological pressure caused by the tenfold enemy is much greater than imagined, and the combat power is greatly reduced under the fear.

On the other hand, although the Northwest Army came one after another, they did not rest much after a night of fierce fighting, and the armor soldiers on duty above the city were even more tired and tired, and they could not even hold their blades steadily.

A tiger-backed cavalry soldier rushed up to the city tower, and before he could react, he was suddenly pierced through the body by the war halberd, and immediately the blood from the wound dripped like a spring, mixed with the previously coagulated and viscous blood.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army pushed hard, and the tiger-backed cavalry soldiers suddenly screamed and fell from the city, but soon more cavalry soldiers rushed up.

A partial general jumped to avoid the mortal situation, and the war knife swung with all his strength to block suddenly, forcing away the surrounding blades, and the knife fell in his hand, cutting off three heads in a row.

For a while, the Xiliang army with swords around was frightened and inexplicable, and they were all afraid to come forward, seeing that there were more and more Xiao cavalry soldiers jumping up from this gap, and a group of Xiliang army armor soldiers were in a hurry, but they saw the three corpses that fell to the ground and died tragically, and they were stunned for a while.

Suddenly, a person rushed from a distance, and the halberd in his hand was full of tigers, and he opened and closed and swung violently, and the Xiao cavalry soldiers who were swept were either killed or injured, and the Xiao cavalry generals were shocked in their hearts, and rushed to kill with a war knife in their hands.

Lu Bu sneered, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was picked up hard, and the partial general only felt a huge force coming, and the tiger's mouth suddenly cracked, the blood flowed endlessly, the grip was unstable, and the war knife in his hand came out of his hand.

Lu Bu swept the situation, his head flew up, the headless corpse fell to the ground softly, and Chen, who was about to break through, was once again held by the Xiliang army.

At this moment, a soldier came in a panic, and eagerly announced to Lu Bu: "General Lu, the commander Hu Zhen has abandoned the pass and fled!" ”

"What!"

Lu Bu's heart was shocked, and he wanted to cut Hu Zhen with a thousand knives, but seeing the enemy troops coming densely in the distance, he knew very well that this Bishui Pass could not be defended.

The soldiers of the Xiliang army above the city heard that the commander had fled, as if the last bit of spirit had collapsed, and many of them dropped their weapons and collapsed to the ground, Lu Bu sighed in his heart, and ordered the officers guarding the city to defend the Bishui Pass, turned around and walked down the pass quickly.

A young man stood by the wall, staring at the ladder in front of him with fear in his eyes, hearing the news that the coach had fled, he wanted to flee at first, but because of extreme fear, his legs could not move at all.

At this moment, a cavalry soldier leaned up and jumped, the young man saw that his comrades-in-arms around him, who had a good relationship with him, all fell to the ground with their heads in different places, and his heart suddenly erupted with endless anger, and he stabbed forward.

The cavalry soldier jumped down, unable to avoid it at all, watching the iron halberd pierce his throat, whimpering constantly, and his eyes full of fear looked at the throat, mixed with the rich dark red blood mixed with minced flesh spurted out, and his body fell limply between the wall buttresses and lost his breath.

The young man gasped, full of gratification that he had survived, and turned his head to look at the Wu Commander, who had always been very respectful, only to see a corpse that had been stabbed through the stomach and fell to the ground to die.

The young man suddenly heard a strong wind, turned his head to look, a cold light flashed away, and in an instant, the young man's head flew away, and the headless corpse splashed with blood fell forward to the ground, and the last scene he saw in his eyes was the rising sun on the horizon, red as blood.

In less than half an hour, Xiongguan Surabaya was completely occupied by the Xiao cavalry army led by Gongsun Yi!
