The first volume of the late Han Dynasty, chapter 1029, hit one side

Next chapter

It was already afternoon when the news of Tongguan came back, and it took a lot of time for Yang Rui to reorganize his troops and horses, transfer and board the ship, and by the time Yang Rui's army arrived at the Yellow River near Tongguan, the sky was completely dark. △↗，

Since the surface of the Yellow River has been almost completely controlled by Yang Rui, Li Dao and Guo Yan should have already known about the existence of the Qingzhou Naval Army, and since there was a lot of trouble between the two of them, neither side paid special attention to the situation on the Yellow River.

After all, the main conflict area between Li Dao and Guo Yan is near Chang'an City.

Although there were a large number of ships in Yang Rui's naval army, they did not attract the attention of either Li Dao and Guo Yan, and after reaching the river near Tongguan, Yang Rui stopped the boats at a distance.

Looking from a distance, Tongguan is full of shadows between the nearby mountains and rivers, and Yang Rui's eyesight can't even see the specific situation clearly, the topography of the river and the distance from the checkpoint determine that Yang Rui's vision will not be too good.

If it had been placed when Sky Castle had been able to be used before, it would have been possible to observe it from a high vantage point, and even at night, the information would not have been so limited.

Under such circumstances, Yang Rui had no choice but to send soldiers ashore and continue to approach Tongguan to investigate, including Yang Rui himself who followed the boat to the shore.

After all, whether it is a scaly armor and a guard guard, he is not too good at probing and concealment, and Yang Rui has a good deal to deal with it.

"Tell your lord, the defenders of Tongguan have been out of the city for more than 20,000 one after another, during which there seem to have been two or three clashes in the pass, according to the situation before dark, the defenders in the pass should belong to Guo Yan's side at this time, and the number is not too much."

Previously, one of Yang Rui's exploration boats had been staying on the water near Tongguan, and the information originally brought back was enriched a lot, and as soon as Yang Rui approached the shore, one of the scaly sailors stepped forward to report.

According to the report of this scaly armor soldier, the defenders in Tongguan are already relatively weak, and even if Yang Rui attacks strongly, it should not be difficult to take Tongguan.

At present, Yang Rui's army grain and grass are very limited, and Tongguan is an important checkpoint, and the grain and grass reserves in it should not be less.

If Yang Rui can grab Tongguan, on the one hand, it will solve the problem of grain and grass, and on the other hand, it can also hold the main road of the current series of regional plots.

And if Yang Rui doesn't take Tongguan, he can probably only wait for the arrival of Yanzhou's supply of grain and grass, if it can't be delivered in time, or Yang Rui has only one choice to withdraw from the series of plots.

Even if Yanzhou can send supplies of grain and grass on time, it will be difficult for Yang Rui to continue to participate in the plot to achieve great results.

In the current plot, Yang Rui can use all the soldiers, whether it is a scaly armor water pawn or an iron guard guard, although the combat power is very strong in a certain field, but the number and overall combat power are not ideal.

I'm afraid that in the end, Yang Rui can only crisscross the surface of the Yellow River, and it is difficult to have good results in obtaining plot points and controlling the plot.

There is also a worst-case scenario, that is, Yang Rui may not be allowed to replenish grain and grass when he is in the regional plot, which means that the grain and grass in Yanzhou cannot be transported to the plot area at all.

This situation is not impossible, if the grain and grass can be replenished, in the case of an analogy, whether the participants can also be replenished

From this point of view, the best choice for Yang Rui at present is to storm Tongguan and occupy a geographical advantage to continue to participate in the plot.

Of course, Yang Rui will not act lightly until he has done enough exploration, and Tai Shi Ci's exclusive special troop scale armor water pawn is fine, and if there is any damage, it can be replenished.

As a powerful special class, their storage zài is actually no different from ordinary soldiers, and once it is damaged, it cannot be replenished, unless the relevant soldier skill book is obtained.

In the previous plots, Yang Rui paid great attention to the protection of these special troops, even if there was a loss, Yang Rui used the plot points and merit points to resurrect it for the first time, which made the 40,000 guards of the Iron Guard soldiers completely retained.

In this series of plots, Sun Ran's point system still exists, including the setting of the score value ranking, etc., and there is not much difference from before, but Yang Rui looked at the current plot setting, but he didn't find the information that he could use the points to resurrect the soldiers.

In other words, this setting should have been canceled.

Similar settings are actually not accidental, and at the current stage of the game, the acquisition and popularity of the Soldier Skill Book have changed a lot, and it is no longer as scarce as it was at the beginning of the game, and it is understandable that the relevant protection has been removed.

"Retreat, go to the other side of the level to investigate"

Under the Tongguan Pass shrouded in night, Yang Rui waved his hand and led more than a dozen soldiers to investigate for a while, and then slowly retreated to the direction of the boat docked on the bank of the river.

Since he could not use the points to resurrect the soldiers, Yang Rui certainly cherished the troops at hand even more, he completely controlled the surface of the Yellow River, and one advantage was that he could reconnoiter from both sides of Tongguan and attack at the same time.

Most of the time passed, and Yang Rui had already explored the situation on the east side of Tongguan.

Yang Rui's exploration of both sides of Tongguan found that the defense forces of Guo Yan's troops in the pass were mainly concentrated on the west side of the pass, while the side facing the direction of Hengling Plateau and Hangu Pass was very neglectful

At this time, Zhang Ji and other forces east of Tongguan did not get involved in the battle between Li Wei and Guo Yan for the time being, and the main object that Guo Yan's defenders needed to deal with was Li Dao from the west.

This information also made Yang Rui give up his plan to attack Tongguan from both sides at the same time, the rabbit was in a hurry and wanted people, if he attacked from both sides of Tongguan at the same time, it would naturally be better in terms of momentum and attack effect.

It's just that in that case, the defenders of Guo Yan in Tongguan will have no way to retreat, and it is likely that the defenders in Tongguan will fight to the death, and Yang Rui will face a greater difficulty in attacking the city when he can't get it, and the damage will be more severe

"Buzz"

"Whoosh"

“”

Yang Rui said what he thought in his heart, and after discussing with Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Tai Shici, he immediately launched an attack on Tongguan.

First of all, Yang Rui mobilized all 3 building ships equipped with Shenji Bombardment Cannon crossbows to the water on the north side of Tongguan and launched a strong attack on Tongguan.

The Divine Machine's Sky Cannon Crossbow is originally suitable for back-fire, and attacking from above the water level at this time will not affect its attack effect in the slightest.

The huge crossbow arrows of the Sky Bombardment Cannon roared sideways towards Tongguan in a parabola, catching the defenders of Guo Yan above the head of the waterfront city and further away by surprise.

However, this is just a feint, and at the same time, the iron guards on the north side of Tongguan who take advantage of the night to touch the gate of the checkpoint are the protagonists of the siege. To be continued.
