Volume 1: Chapter 1045 of the Late Han Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone

Next chapter

The plot progresses slowly, and Yang Rui can't drag on in the plot for a long time, so he thought of the water army and tried to break the current deadlock in Tongguan.

The advantages of Yang Rui's naval army are very obvious, in the current section of the Yellow River, and even on the entire Yellow River, the naval army commanded by Tai Shici can almost be invincible, but it is obviously a little difficult to rely on the naval army to carry out land operations.

At present, almost all of Yang Rui's foot soldiers and cavalry are in the Tongguan checkpoint, and the only ones who are mobile are the naval army under the command of Tai Shici.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

“……”

In the early morning two days after Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops outside Tongguan, the gate on the west side of Tongguan suddenly opened, and the drums of the civil war were thunderous, and a bunch of cavalry and infantry poured out, as if they were going to open the door and have a showdown with the enemy army outside the pass.

And when Li Dao and Guo Yan got the news and sent the news back, when Li Dao and Guo Yan reorganized their troops and rushed to the west side of Tongguan, where did they still see even one Yang Rui's soldiers outside the pass?

The gate of the Tongguan checkpoint is also locked, but the previous drums and the defending infantry and cavalry out of the pass are real, which cannot hide everyone's ears and eyes.

At the same time, after understanding, the doubts of Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops were also greatly alleviated, because the soldiers of their Tanma Department later also found out the situation of the retreat of the Tongguan defenders and informed Li and Guo of the original situation.

According to the description of the spies, the defenders of Tongguan did indeed go out of the city to challenge, but after some of the soldiers left the city, there seemed to be chaos in Tongguan Pass, and the troops who left the city retreated back to the checkpoint in a panic.

The spies told the whole process very clearly and in detail, although there was some distance in the observation at that time, but the situation of the whole process was still not wrong, and the spies were able to pat their chests to guarantee.

It is precisely because of this determination of the spies that they can even hear some commotion in the Tongguan checkpoint, Li Dao and Guo Yan almost at the same time came to a conclusion that there was civil strife in the Tongguan checkpoint!

Although they couldn't figure out the reason for this kind of civil strife, they all felt that this was a good opportunity to break through the level, and the reason why they stayed here and refused to leave was precisely to get through Tongguan and regain Liu Xie.

Li Dao and Guo Yan did not miss such an opportunity, and almost as soon as they reached a unified opinion, they launched another attack on Tongguan.

"Tower! Tower! Tower ......"

"Pass! Open! ......"

“……”

This time, it was Li Dao and Guo Yan who judged that there was a situation in Tongguan, so they did not make much noise after launching the attack, and each soldier rushed towards Tongguan in different ways.

Some climbed up along the bamboo ladder, some of them hit the Tongguan gate directly with the bumping wood, and within a period of time at the beginning of the attack, it seemed that a qiē was very smooth, and the soldiers on the bamboo ladder were about to climb the wall and no one stopped them, and the bumping wood was the first time to attack the city gate.

This situation also seemed to indicate that there was indeed an accident in Tongguan, and the defenders had no time to take care of other appearances.

"Whew! Call! Whew......"

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"

“……”

However, the scene imagined by Li Dao and Guo Yan was completely broken in a buzzing sound that suddenly appeared, when the unique sound of thick crossbow arrows sounded, when the sky was filled with arrows, Li Dao and Guo Yan realized that they had fallen into the strategy of the defenders!

However, at this time, I found out that it was too late to be in the middle of the plan, and a large number of soldiers who had already invested could not be withdrawn at the first time, and at the same time, it was also difficult to attack, and they were basically in a situation where they were beaten and could not fight back.

"Poof! Burst! Poof......"

"Ahh Run! Help ......"

“……”

Up and down Tongguan, accompanied by the rain of arrows in the sky, there was the sound of arrows entering the flesh everywhere, and the sound of struggle and screaming was endless, and the offensive that seemed to be orderly was disintegrated in an instant.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

“……”

Li Dao and Guo Yan in the rear shouted hysterically, but the soldiers who could obey his orders and withdraw along the battlefield in front were very limited, and the initiative on the battlefield at this moment had been completely controlled by Yang Rui's troops.

By the time Li Dao and Guo Yan were able to withdraw their troops out of the range of Tongguan, the checkpoint was already covered with a large number of corpses of key soldiers.

Due to the misjudgment of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the number of troops they invested this time was relatively large, and in the end, under the cover of Yang Rui's troops' arrow rain, more than 25,000 soldiers lost their lives, which was much more than the total battle losses of the previous two breakthroughs!

Li Dao and Guo Yan were defeated, and they no longer dared to get too close to the camp in Tongguan, but they did not leave in the end, but retreated dozens of miles again before setting up the camp corner.

As a result, Yang Rui was also able to organize all the soldiers of the department to go to Tongguan to clean up the battlefield, and pocketed a large number of items that were blown down by Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops, and among them, Yang Rui liked all kinds of skill books the most.

After more than 1 hour of cleaning up and sorting, Yang Rui obtained a total of nearly 8,000 various skill books for the transfer of soldiers of all ranks, of which most of them were above the 5th level, including a small number of cavalry skill books.

Yang Rui also didn't know why Li Dao and Guo Yan had invested cavalry to attack the city several times, although the number was very small, but he didn't know what to do with it.

The actual situation is actually like the conditions for the use of Yang Rui's giant trebuchet, which can only be used by soldiers above the 6th rank, and the type of props used by Li Dao and Guo Yanjun also have rank requirements.

As a result, Li Dao and Guo Yan had to put the 6th-order cavalry into use, and almost no one among the other foot soldiers met the conditions.

Yang Rui used a trick to lure Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops to attack the city, and won a big victory, but he still did not drive the two people away in the end.

And the Zhang Ji tribe who lived on the other side of Tongguan, at this time, had no fear, after a new battle in Tongguan, it was like smelling a fishy cat, and they also had no intention of leaving.

Zhang Ji even sent a team of soldiers to the checkpoint to collect information, and the whole table was quite sensitive, as if he was about to make a move at every opportunity.

After only experiencing a battle to lure the enemy, the situation on both sides of Tongguan has not changed much, but Yang Rui sent troops out of the city to lure the enemy to tackle the key problems.

In fact, Yang Rui shook a shot, and the most important thing was to cover up the identities of Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, the three of them had already been sent to the navy's building ship at this time.

And what Yang Rui planned was to follow the forces of the three people and the navy army to arrange a sneak attack. (To be continued.) )
