In 1947, American General Weinnard said this when he inspected the Yangtze River defense line:

"An army with the will to fight can defend the Yangtze River with a broom and a pimple."

The implication is to praise the national defense role of the Yangtze River moat, but from another angle, it is also emphasizing the importance of the will to fight. Think about it, although the natural danger is dangerous, if the garrison army sees the enemy army and flees from the wind, what is the difference between the natural danger and the passage?

There is Xichuan in the south of Jianzhou, and there is Shannan in the north, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of the civil war and foreign war, it has always belonged to the rear, and has never been subjected to fire, plus the Xichuan army carried weapons in Dongchuan as if no one was on the side of the armed procession, and even marched to the territory of Shannan, the defenders' training is not so, paralyzed carelessness and arrogance can be imagined, Wen Dezhao is a sparse figure with Liu Pi's smell, so the end of the Jianzhou army is not much better.

Jianmen Pass has always been known as the natural danger, one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, Jiang Wei in the Three Kingdoms Jiang Wei once used this to defeat the Zhonghui army, so that the Wei army could not advance half a step. As a result, it was easily pierced by Yan Qin's tricks, and the Sword Pavilion was not without danger, and it only took Yan Qin half an hour. As soon as Yan Qin entered the Thorn History Mansion and sat down, Ke Ti Mizhu mentioned Wen Dezhao's head to invite merit, but this time he was much more respectful and did not throw it directly at Yan Qin's feet.

Speaking of which, the city is really simple, and after Yan Qin's army finished breakfast, the rear army has already sent the siege equipment up, although Yan Qin's battle plan is a surprise attack, but before the victory is to seek defeat, and it is an attack on the dangerous pass, when the front army advances, the rear army will follow with siege equipment. As a result, Yan Qin immediately ordered the siege of the city.

Just now, Yan Qin walked around the city as if no one was around, and shot the opponent's general, the morale of the army has been completely stimulated, and they are all in a state of screaming, but the defenders of the Sword Pavilion have just been shot to death by the enemy as if no one is around, and their morale has plummeted, and the assassin Shi Wen Dezhao even forgot to ask someone to send breakfast, isn't the result of this siege battle still imaginable?

So when the drumbeat of the attack rumbled and Yan Qin's army marched in formation, the city was already in an atmosphere of defeat, and if it weren't for the other commanders still there, the soldiers would have dispersed in a hurry. They weren't originally elite, the elite troops were concentrated in Jianmen and Dangkou, and the ones guarding the Sword Pavilion were only second-line troops. So when Yan Qin's army stopped under the city and shouted in unison, "Only kill the first evil, and never ask about it", the morale of the city quickly collapsed. Under the supervision of the overseer officer at the head of the city, a sparse rain of arrows was released weakly, and as soon as the ladder was put up at the head of the city, the soldiers at the head of the city discarded their weapons.

Wen Dezhao got up in a hurry in the morning, the official uniform was not yet on, so Yan Qin didn't notice him just now, he escaped by luck, seeing that the situation was out of control, he hurried down to the city under the escort of his cronies, got on the horse and went straight to the south gate of the Sword Pavilion, intending to go to Zizhou to stay in the green mountains, the pioneer of the siege was Keti Mizhu, I heard that Wen Dezhao escaped, for fear of losing face, and went to chase with a few horsemen, poor Wen Dezhao went to Jianzhou to take office for only a few days, and was caught up by Keti Mizhu outside the south gate of the Sword Pavilion, and there was no more firewood.

Yan Qin himself didn't expect victory to come so easily. After sending the notice to the people, Yan Qin met with the officials and gentry in the Jianzhou Assassin's Mansion, loaded Wen Dezhao and his cronies into a prisoner car, and sent them to Xingyuan Mansion with Wen Dezhao's head, and at the same time sent someone to report to Yan Li. After dealing with the affairs that should be handled, Yan Qin couldn't bear it anymore, came out to visit the ancient city of the Three Kingdoms, stood on the city tower, listened to the local celebrities introduce the ruins of the ancient battlefield, boasted about the sword pavilion tofu, and suggested that the general taste it at night. Looking at the Huangbai Ancient Road in the green mountains, Yan Qin was full of confidence, and secretly said:

"I haven't been able to catch my breath yet, and I just broke through Xiongguan?"

"Zhongqing, the Sword Pavilion has been known as a natural danger since ancient times, Jiang Wei guarded the pass, and the 100,000 troops of Zhonghui were not allowed to enter, but now it was broken by Yan Qin overnight, it is really unexpected, the same Xiongguan, but the offensive and defensive trends are so different, what do you think?"

In the Zichen Palace, Li Yu said happily to the ministers, holding Yan Li's battle report in his hand. The first battle was won, and the atmosphere in the hall was also jubilant.

Seeing that the emperor's mood was high, Pan Mengyang, the head of the household, hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is the blessing of His Majesty's heavenly might, so my counterinsurgency army is invincible, and I will conquer everything, and it is just around the corner to capture Liu Pi alive in Chengdu, not to mention the sword gate!"

Yixi's words were really impassioned, but Li Yu obviously didn't eat this, and asked coldly:

"What is the solution to the reversal of the Tongguan in the last years of Tianbao? Could it be that Xuanzong Tianwei did not bless my loyal and brave soldiers of the Tang Dynasty against the rebels? I am here not to listen to the good words of merit and virtue, but to hear the insights of all of you. ”

Pan Mengyang's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, so he had to blush, and he didn't dare to make a sound. Wang Shaodao, the secretary of the military department:

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that Yan Qin's breaking of the Sword Gate was just a temporary fluke. If the defenders were a little more vigilant, where would Yan Qin break through so easily? There are countless Xiongguan in the world, if all of them can be broken so easily, then the six countries have already destroyed Qin. ”

He cited the story of the two attacks of the six countries of Kanto during the Warring States period and the defeat of Hangu Pass, with millions of corpses and bleeding. As soon as these words came out, someone immediately chimed in:

"That's right, as long as you are a little vigilant and equipped with a strong crossbow, ten Yan Qin will not be able to break through the Sword Gate!"

However, Wang Shao had not finished speaking, so he glanced at the person who interjected dissatisfiedly, and then said:

"Being able to judge the situation and attack the enemy unprepared, this shows that Yan Qin is a general. The sword gate was broken, and it should be attributed to Yan Qin. ”

Wang Shao spoke like riding a roller coaster, Li Yu nodded when he heard this, but smiled and did not comment, but continued to ask:

"In this way, Xiongguan is heavily guarded and cannot be breached."

Wu Yuanheng, who was sitting at the bottom of Du Huangshang, said slowly:

"The minister thinks that there is no unbreakable Xiongguan in the world. Qin won the world according to the solidity of Kui Han, but fifteen years after winning the world, Liu Xiang waved his troops to invade Guanxi, and Qin died in the third generation. Although the Sword Gate is dangerous, it is not the first time it has been breached. The stone pass is steep, but Wang Dun has entered, Huan Wen has entered, the Yangtze River is dangerous, Wang Jun has entered, He Ruobi and Han Baohu have entered. Battlefield attack, the use of magic is single-minded, as long as the tactics are appropriate, why is it difficult to break the Xiongguan? ”
