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

"Kill ......"

“……”

The offensive rhythm of Zhang Ji's army was slowed down, and it almost became a state of retreat, but the combat quality of Zhang Ji's soldiers was still not low, and after generals came forward to maintain the situation, the state of Zhang Ji's troops stabilized again.

Under the rumbling drums of war, Zhang Ji's soldiers once again launched an attack on Tongguan.

This time the attack was almost from scratch, and the bamboo ladders, crashing wood, and a small number of siege equipment that Zhang Ji's troops had invested before were consumed by a bunch of rolling stones and sassal wood on the city.

In order to avoid the rolling stones and sassalwood on the head of the checkpoint city from causing concentrated damage again, this time Zhang Ji tried to slow down the pace of the attack, reduced the density of the troops, and seemed to be ready to drag down the defenders of Tongguan for a long time.

As the saying goes, knowing each other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if Zhang Ji knows the number and strength of the defenders in Tongguan at present, I am afraid that he will not take this attack lightly, and as for whether he will continue to attack the city, it is still between the two theories.

It's just that the battlefield information of the two sides is not equal, and Yang Ruitong has a rough idea of the situation of Zhang Ji's army before, but Zhang Ji has almost no idea about the situation of Yang Rui's defenders in Tongguan!

It is not that Zhang Ji's soldiers have poor intelligence gathering ability, Zhang Ji, who has the Xiliang cavalry, is much more convenient than the current Yang Rui in terms of information search and transmission, and the problem is that his scope of activities has been limited to the east of Tongguan.

Yang Rui's subordinates have been active in the area west of Tongguan since they participated in the regional series of plots, and at this time, Zhang Ji didn't even know that there was such a force as Yang Rui operating in Yongzhou.

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

"Kill ......"

“……”

Under the Tong Pass, the drums in the Zhang Ji Formation have never stopped, and they will be urged from time to time, and the Zhang Ji troops are not without their lives to attack the checkpoint, but the Tong Pass is really precipitous, even if there is no interference from the defenders, it is not easy to climb the checkpoint.

What's more, at present, Yang Rui's troops have not stopped attacking, and although the power of the hunting bow in his hand is small, it has fully brought into full play the geographical advantage of Tongguan.

In addition to the hunting bow attack, often once the bamboo ladder is mounted on the Tongguan city wall, it will soon be pulled crooked and pulled down by the guards' hooks, which has been staged in various sections of the Tongguan city wall.

"Mingjin! Collect the troops! ”

When it was close to noon, the drumming in Zhang Ji's formation was temporarily stopped, and Zhang Ji gave an order, and the soldiers of the key attack department who received the signal to retreat were relieved in their hearts, and quickly retreated from the vicinity of the checkpoint like a tide.

In the process, there were still some Zhang Jibu soldiers who were shot down by bows and arrows, and when the Zhang Ji troops retreated, the place near the east side of Tongguan was already covered with a thick layer of Zhang Jibu corpses and dropped items.

Throughout the morning, Zhang Ji's troops launched a total of four or five waves of powerful attacks, and finally they were all repelled by the rolling stones and sassal trees at the head of the checkpoint.

After the first wave of onslaught, Zhang Ji also wanted to boil frogs in warm water, reduce the density of attacking personnel, and slowly consume the defenders, but this approach obviously did not work.

There are not a lot of soldiers in Yang Rui's troops in Tongguan, although in order to confuse the enemy, only a small part of them participate in the defense, but with the steepness of the Tongguan level, Yang Rui's troops can rotate lightly, which also leads to the bankruptcy of Zhang Ji's method of consumption.

After that, Zhang Jicai adopted the method of concentrated onslaught, and encountered the concentrated attack of rolling stones and sassal wood in four or five waves in a row, and each wave suffered heavy losses, which led to a very tragic scene after Zhang Jimingjin withdrew his troops.

From the points of the regional series of plots obtained, Yang Rui can also roughly estimate the loss of Zhang Ji's tackling of key problems.

Within half a day, Yang Rui obtained a total of nearly 1 million plot points, and according to the standard that all of them were 5th-order soldiers, the number of troops lost by Zhang Ji's side was also as high as 20,000 or 30,000!

In addition, Yang Rui has obtained a lot of points before, and at this time, Yang Rui is firmly at the top of the ranking list in the series of regional plots, which is completely two or three orders of magnitude worse than other players on the next leaderboard.

In addition to the current regional series of plots, the border clan plot that Yang Rui withdrew from because of the Huns' aid is not over yet, and Yang Rui's points are still at the top of the list.

And for the time being, there are no other players who can threaten Yang Rui's ranking, even if the gap is only one or two orders of magnitude, it is not easy to catch up. Therefore, if nothing else, Yang Rui should also be able to maintain this ranking.

And the various gold coins and equipment under Tongguan in front of him, Yang Rui naturally had no possibility to pick them up, among them, there must be a lot of relatively powerful soldier promotion skill books, compared to Xiliang soldiers and horses, they are very powerful.

"Uncle, the current situation of this pass is quite strange, I had forced my way through the pass before my uncle arrived, how do I know that there is more than one general guarding the pass, and the strength of the people who fight with me is definitely not below me.

And the guards of the customs department are by no means ordinary, my uncle has tackled several problems in half a day, have you ever seen the guards and soldiers being killed and falling off the level? ”

In Zhang Ji's big tent, a slender and tall general was speaking to Zhang Ji.

This person is the person who broke into Tongguan City the day before and had a fight with Tai Shici, if you look at the content of his words, it is Zhang Ji's nephew, and he is one step closer to Yang Rui's guessed identity.

"Thou shalt mean ......"

"At the moment, there is a lot of strange things in Tongguan, or there is an unexpected backhand, why don't my uncle's army find another way out, and it is not completely impossible to bypass Tongguan and go to Chang'an City......"

"Where can I get around?"

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, in the battle of Qin and Jin, the soldiers and horses of the Qin State crossed the river from Pubanjin and attacked, and then won a great victory. At this time, although Kasakatsu was deserted, as long as there were enough boats, it was not difficult to cross the river. ”

“……”

In Zhang Ji's big tent, after some discussion, Zhang Ji made a decisive decision, gave up the plan to storm Tongguan, and retreated to the rear through Ruicheng, Yongheng, and Pubanjin to Fengyi County, and then went to Chang'an City.

Making this decision was actually still the reason why the information Zhang Ji had obtained was incomplete, and if he knew that all the waterways around him were under Yang Rui's complete control, he probably wouldn't have made such a plan.

Of course, Zhang Ji's actions are understandable, and in the later plots, Yang Rui also secretly let go of Zhang Ji's subordinates in order to maintain the rhythm of the plot, which is a later story.

"Tell the lord, Zhang Ji's army seems to have withdrawn."

The offensive and defensive battle in the morning did not end for long, and Zhang Ji's army rose up as a whole and retreated towards the way they came. (To be continued.) )
