Chapter 953: Fierce Battle in the Reed Ze Pass
The guard of Wei Ze Pass was Feng Chong from Yizhou, a Shu army officer from the Tiger Cavalry Army, who could be said to be Liu Yin's descendant, and had followed Liu Yin in the southern expedition to the north in his early years, but at that time, he was only a Qu commander in the Tiger Cavalry Battalion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info later fought with the army, but also accumulated military merits, accumulated merit and was promoted to a partial general, this time he was appointed by Liu Yin as the guard of Wei Ze Pass, and handed over the important pass between Jin and Hebei to him to guard.
After Feng Chong arrived, he did not dare to slack off, he was very aware of the importance of Wei Ze Pass to the Shu army, and naturally understood the weight of the burden on his shoulders, and fulfilled his duties and strictly armed, it was in this kind of cold winter and moon, frost like a knife in the days, Feng Chong asked the Shu army defending the city to be in a state of first-class combat readiness, and sent multiple patrol posts, closely watching the situation around Wei Ze Pass, beware of the sneak attack of the Jin army.
The terrain of Weize Pass is dangerous, if you attack head-on, no matter how many people and horses the other side has, you can only look at the pass and sigh, because the terrain here is narrow, the large army can not be deployed at all, and the strong Guancheng, without sharp siege weapons, it is difficult to knock on the gate of Weize Pass.
The only worry is that the enemy will use a sneak attack to attack Weize Pass, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, if the Jin army comes to sneak attack, it is unexpected, and it is not prepared to attack, but there is hope to take Weize Pass.
Feng Chong naturally would not leave such an opportunity for the Jin army, the entire Weize Pass was extremely well guarded, and it could be said that Feng Chong had one eye open even if he was sleeping.
When the sharp whistle sounded, Feng Chong couldn't help but slap a spirit, but he didn't seem flustered at all, and immediately issued an order to fight the whole city, and rushed to the top of the city as soon as possible.
"What's going on?" Feng Chong was dressed in a military uniform, his hand pressed the hilt of his sword, and as soon as he stepped on the city, he said to Li Dubo, who had just warned him.
Li Dubo pointed to the Jin army outside the city and said: "General Qiyu, a large number of Jin troops have been found outside the city, trying to sneak attack Weize Pass. ”
Feng Chong looked down from the battlements at the head of the city, and sure enough, he saw countless white figures in the snow, gathering towards the reed gate, although those figures were white, and the background between the whole heaven and earth was also white, Feng Chong could still roughly judge the number of enemies from the moving figures - at least tens of thousands.
This was obviously a vicious battle, Feng Chong's face became solemn, since the Jin army dared to suddenly launch a sneak attack in such a cold and snowy situation, it was safe to say that the comer was not good.
Feng Chong ordered all the Shu troops to immediately plunge into battle, and according to the established defensive positions, they were all in place and ready for battle.
Qi Hong successfully arrived at the city of Wei Ze Pass, this long journey, has made the Jin army exhausted, exhausted, exhausted, after all, marching in the winter, the energy and physical strength paid are several times the usual, it stands to reason that at this time the Jin army urgently needs to rest, in order to recover physical strength and energy, and accumulate energy for the next siege operation.
Originally, Qi Hong also tried to figure out the means of a sneak attack to take Wei Ze Pass, but when he arrived at Wei Ze Pass, he found that the garrison of the Shu army was extremely tight as imagined, and the sneak attack was obviously not established.
However, Qi Hong did not expect to be able to easily take Wei Ze Pass, otherwise there would be no need to bring 20,000 troops to attack, the only favorable condition is that Wei Ze Pass only has two thousand defenders, and now the Jin army is ten times the enemy, even if it is a strong attack, it also occupies an obvious advantage, but it must be a quick battle, otherwise from Wei Ze Pass to Jizhou, it only takes two days for the fast horse to deliver the news, once the Shu army in Jizhou learns that the Jin army attacked Wei Ze Pass, it will definitely send reinforcements to come, and then want to take Wei Ze Pass, it will not be easy.
Qi Hong ordered the Jin army to attack immediately. This time, the Jin army took the sheep intestine path and it was silent, so it did not bring large siege equipment at all, and the only siege equipment it has now is a relatively simple ladder.
After the order to attack was given, the Jin army swarmed up and rushed towards the wall of Weize Pass.
The snow on the ground was very thick, it was very slippery to step on, many Jin soldiers just ran a few steps, and they fell on all fours, and the mountain road that could be used for attack was extremely narrow, at best, it could only accommodate three or four ladders side by side, which obviously seriously delayed the attack of the Jin army, and a large number of troops could not be deployed at all, and could only be densely crowded together.
Feng Chong stood very calmly at the head of the city, he did not rush to defend the battle, but waited for the Jin army to slowly come forward and approach within the range of a stone's throw before Feng Chong calmly gave the order to attack.
The arrows flew like locusts to the Jin army lineup, due to the narrow terrain, the Jin army was innumerable, and the white snow surface was suddenly dyed red in many pieces, as if in the snow bloomed a delicate red flower.
Death, will not make these Jin soldiers afraid, the more life and death on the battlefield are seen, the easier it is to make people numb, the mortality rate of the soldiers who rush to the front is the highest, but it does not mean that there is no chance of survival, now whether it is advancing or retreating, the probability of survival is equal, the arrows that come from the shooting do not have long eyes, the lucky ones can fly over with their scalps, and the unlucky ones can only die under the stray arrows.
In this case, desperately moving forward, rushing out of a bloody road has become the expectation of almost every Jin soldier, retreating that is to fear the enemy, will be punished by military law, rushing forward, you may make meritorious contributions, get generous rewards, the two are compared, or the attack is more profitable, so no matter how much the robe Ze fell to the ground, it did not make the Jin army's offensive delayed, but it was more inspiring fighting spirit and blood, and rushed towards the reed Ze Pass like a life.
The crossbowmen of the Shu army became the busiest people at this moment, they kept changing arrows to shoot, the white expanse under the city, there was no need for them to aim, only the arrows needed to be projected into the crowd of the Jin army, so that the speed of archery without precision was extremely fast, and it was only a few breaths of time to shoot from the bow to the shooting.
The crossbowmen frequently exchanged arrows and shots, but they still could not stop the Jin army's offensive frenzy, and they finally rushed to the city of Weize Pass, began to erect ladders, and struggled to climb towards the wall.
The battle between the two sides has only entered a white-hot level, and the entire city of Weize Pass is deafeningly shouting and killing, and the two sides are fighting to the death. (To be continued.) )
