Chapter 1067: Waiting for reinforcements

Xiaopingjin Pass is adjacent to the Yellow River in front of it, and its back is against the north mountain, so it can enjoy the danger of mountains and rivers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe wall that was broken by the Shu army is actually just the outer wall of Xiaopingjin Pass, and at the pass of Beibi Mountain, there is an inner city, which is built according to the mountain danger, which is a lot higher than the surrounding terrain.

In fact, this is the real Xiaopingjin Pass, only later in order to strengthen the defense along the Yellow River, the Xiaopingjin Ferry was included in the scope of the Xiaopingjin Pass, which was originally the Yellow River embankment became the wall of the Xiaojin Pass.

Zhu Zhen saw that the outer wall could not be defended, and immediately withdrew to the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass, the inner city wall is all built with huge stones, which is extremely strong, and can completely resist the firearms attack of the Shu army, Zhu Zhen has suffered enough of firearms, and retreats to the inner city at this moment, just to rely on the solidity of the inner city to hold the Xiaopingjin Pass and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Zhang Le commanded the Wudang Flying Army to break through the Jin Army's defense line and successfully took the outer wall of Xiaopingjin Pass.

After the landing, Zhang Le immediately ordered to dig up the soil and rocks near the ferry, in order to facilitate the docking of the ships of the Shu army and the landing of the Shu army, after all, it was too inconvenient for more than 100,000 troops to climb the ladder to land, and after cleaning up the soil and stones piled up near the ferry, it was conducive to the landing of the follow-up troops of the Shu army.

More Shu ships docked, the Shu army carried on the ship was landed one after another, for a while, on the Xiaopingjin ferry, overcrowded, the river flowed endlessly, the Jin army's Yellow River defense line, has been completely lost.

However, the Shu army, which continued to advance towards the inner city, was blocked, and Zhu Zhen commanded the remnants of the Xiaopingjin Pass, retreated to the inner city, refused to defend against the danger, and resisted stubbornly.

Now in Zhu Zhen's hands, there are only a few thousand remnants left, originally with such a small number of troops, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Shu army, but Zhu Zhen's biggest reliance is the strong defense of the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass. The inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass is stuck between the gap of the two mountains, the two peaks on the left and right are ten thousand miles of walls, there is no way to climb at all, and in front of this pass, there is only one passage, the Shu army wants to march to Luoyang from here, it must break through the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass.

Although Zhu Zhen's soldiers are few now, if he relies on the danger of the inner city, and then hold on for a few hours, it is not a big problem.

According to the distance and the speed of the Jin army's march, it was almost possible to arrive at noon, the battle started at dawn, and now an hour and a half have passed, as long as Zhu Zhen holds on for an hour or so, you can see the reinforcements.

In the face of hope, Zhu Zhen naturally spared no effort, if it was said that Zhu Zhen would be kept for another three or five days or even a day or two, Zhu Zhen felt that it was difficult, but it was only for an hour or two, for Zhu Zhen, if he couldn't keep it, it would be really a dog.

Zhu Zhen made a wish to his soldiers that as long as they could hold the Xiaopingjin Pass, all the officers under him would be promoted to three levels in a row, and ordinary soldiers would be rewarded with 100,000 yuan. As the governor of Xiaopingjin Pass, Zhu Zhen still has such a little power, and more importantly, Zhu Zhen understands that only under the heavy reward can there be a brave man, and if you don't come up with some real money, I'm afraid no one will be willing to work for you.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Zhen's bounty came out, those Jin soldiers who seemed to be languishing were immediately refreshed and rekindled, as Zhu Zhen thought, there was no hope for a longer time, but if it was only for an hour or two, the hope was still quite big, even if the firearms of the Shu army were powerful, but the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass was still unusually strong, if it could really be held, the reward would be much more generous.

Come out to be a soldier and ask for something, isn't it just counting on being promoted to make a fortune, finally there is such an opportunity, no one in the Jin army is willing to give up, as long as you fight, these rewards will have a chance to get it, why not?

The remnants of the Jin army redeployed in the inner city, and the momentum of the Shu army's offensive did not seem to stop, after breaking through the outer wall, most of the Wudang Fei army dug a ferry there, while a part of the army pursued along the direction of the Jin army's defeat.

The revitalized Jin army stood on top of the inner city, opened the bow and arrows, and blocked the attack of the Shu army.

After the attack was frustrated, the soldiers of the forward battalion immediately made a timely report to Zhang Le, who was still near the ferry.

Zhang Le didn't expect that the Jin soldiers still had the ability to organize defense, it stands to reason that this battle of the outer wall has already disabled the Jin army's Xiaopingjin defenders, and there is no strength to counterattack again.

And what surprised Zhang Le was that Xiaopingjin Pass was still related to Guanzhong, after the outer city was lost, the Jin army could still retreat to the inner city, a broken division, is there still enough strength to fight?

Zhang Le couldn't help but be a little annoyed, the tiger is not angry, you should be a sick cat?

In the direction of the ferry, in order to allow more Shu troops to land, the Wudang Fei Army opened the road in the mountains, built bridges in the water, and rushed to do all the rough work, and it was precisely because of the excavation of the soil and rocks in the direction of the ferry that the momentum of the attack would be attenuated a lot.

Unexpectedly, the remnants of the Jin army not only refused to surrender, but even more stubbornly resisted, Zhang Le said angrily: "Grandma is a bear, if I don't give you some color, I really don't know what your grandfather Zhang's surname is." ā€

Anyway, the ferry has been opened up, the Shu army has been continuously crossed the Yellow River, and there is no need to continue to stay at the ferry, as the vanguard of Liu Yin's personal point, attacking the city is Zhang Le's top priority, Zhang Le heard that there was a Jin army blocking the way, and immediately surrounded it, and led the army to attack the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass.

The narrow lanes and strong city defense are the source of confidence to support Zhu Zhen, but the offensive of the Wudang Fei Army is too strong, and the high city walls are daunting to ordinary people, but when it comes to the Wudang Fei Army, it is almost like walking on the ground, and the defense of the entire inner city is dangerous.

Zhu Zhen was a little dumbfounded, he had fought many young battles, Zhu Zhen really had never seen such a fierce army as the Wudang Flying Army, not to mention that Zhu Zhen was now leading the remnants of the army to defeat the generals, even if he led the original team, he might not be the opponent of the Wudang Flying Army.

According to the current style of play, Zhu Zhen has little hope of staying until noon, seeing that the shadow of the day is getting shorter, and the reinforcements will arrive in more than half an hour, but it is difficult to hold it at this time, Zhu Zhen's heart almost collapsed.
