Chapter 339: Capture of Linjin Pass

Su Jin Pass, located in Xi'an, the territory of Zuo Fenghu. It is the spring and autumn orange and, just at the junction. On the other side of the Linjin Pass, it is a garbage and an important pass.

Now stationed in Zuo Fenglang's army of Yang Qiu and Han Sui's army invaded Hedong, making Zuo Fenglang empty, Xu Huang's army from Chang'an to the north, driving straight in, the army soon drove to Linjin Pass.

Xu Huang looked at the soldiers nearby, and after running all the way, the soldiers were panting. Xu Huang couldn't help frowning. A recruit is a recruit, and he doesn't know how to maintain his physical strength when he marches urgently, if he is a veteran, although he has gone through a long period of urgency, he can also maintain some of his physical strength at this time, Xu Huang can naturally attack Linjin Pass in one go, but seeing the appearance of the soldiers now. Xu Huang reluctantly ordered: "Take a break, and after half an hour, the army will attack Linjin Pass." ”

When the soldiers heard this, it was as if they had been pardoned. All of them were paralyzed to the ground, and some of them didn't even want the weapons in their hands. Xu Huang frowned. He said coldly: "Weapons are your lives, although now it is rest." But weapons should not be left in their hands, and whoever leaves their weapons will be disposed of according to military law! ”

After Xu Huang drank it, the soldiers who threw away the weapons hurriedly picked up the weapons. Xu Huang shook his head secretly, these soldiers were all recruited online, and there were no veterans mixed with them. There are no soldiers who have already been in battle, but have not been formally trained, they are all new soldiers. Xu Huang knew that after the First World War. Of the 40,000 soldiers he brought out, only a few were able to go back. Although Xu Huang knows, he still has to continue to do this, it is impossible for soldiers to train into the elite by training alone, the only way is to fight, the weak die, the strong stay behind, the strong and the weak die, and the stronger stay, so that a large army can grow into a truly combatable elite after repeated battles.

Half an hour later, the scout came to report: "Report to the general, there are about 2,000 defenders in Linjin Pass, and they have already shown the trace of our army, please make a decision." ”

Xu Huang said: "Their reality is normal. Our army sent troops from Chang'an to conceal its whereabouts at all. In this case, the whole army is ready, and it must take the Linjin Pass within an hour! ”

"Knock knock..."

"Woo woo

With Xu Huang's order, the war drums were beaten, and at the same time, the sound of desolate horns fluttered over Linjin Pass.

The Xiliang army on the Linjin Pass was fearless and deployed in an orderly manner under the command of the guards in the pass.

"Charge!"

With Xu Huang's order, the banner kept shaking in the wind, and 10,000 people in the front army carried the ladder to Linjin Pass.

The "Xiuxiu" army charged. First up was a rain of arrows from the defenders.

"Poof

The charging front army was suddenly attacked by a rain of arrows, and was immediately blinded, and witnessed that their companions, who were still talking and laughing with them, were shot by the rain of arrows in the blink of an eye, and were trampled to death after falling to the ground, these recruits gradually began to feel the threat of death, and a look of panic began to appear on their faces.

But they did not dare not go forward, because behind them were their companions who could not stop charging, and if they stopped, they would push them down. Then the end is to be reduced to meat paste, at this time, the only way they can survive is to charge, rush to the Linjin Pass, kill all the enemies on the pass, win the victory, then they can live, these recruits finally began to accept the baptism of war!

"Click

A series of ladders were erected on top of the Guancheng of Linjin Pass, and the recruits' minds were almost blank now, and they instinctively climbed up the ladders as they did during the exercises. It's just that the wood, stones, arrows, boiling oil and other objects that kept falling on the fortress caused their attacks to be repulsed again and again.

Xu Huang stood in the middle of the Chinese army, seeing that the war had been fought until now, and the attack of the former army was no longer completely suppressed by Guancheng like Fang Cai, knowing that the recruits of the former army had completed the recruit salute, and the cruel battlefield had aroused their blood, they began to attack Guancheng regardless of life and death, and several successful breakthroughs in Guancheng's defense were the best proof, although they were all repulsed in the end, but it did not prevent them from launching a more violent attack.

Xu Huang slowly raised his right hand and ordered loudly: "Zhongjun! Charge! ”

The banner waved, the agitated war drums and the desolate trumpets did not stop at all, but became more and more intense, the war drums sounded one after another, as if hitting their hearts, the blood flowed faster and faster in the body, and the boiling blood made these recruits forget their fears, and the only thought left in their hearts: "Kill!" ”

The Chinese army of 20,000 joined the siege. It made the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city on the Linjin Pass even tighter. Linjin Pass was originally designed to defend against the attack on the side of the Yellow River, and the attack of Xu Huang's army can be said to be behind the attack on Linjin Pass. It is much easier to attack the fortification in this way than to storm the Linjin Pass from the side of the Yellow River.

The tackling of key problems is getting more and more urgent, and there are already many Shiben rushing to the top of the city, but none of them have been driven down by the defenders above the city, Xu Huang secretly sighed and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, he is still a recruit, although he is not lacking in courage, but he only knows how to charge and does not know how to defend, let alone exchange minor injuries for the enemy's life." Frowning, Xu Huang muttered, "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”

Not long after Xu Huang finished speaking, he suddenly saw the chaos at Linjin Pass, and Xu Huang suddenly said loudly: "It's here!" Charge the whole army! Kill with Ben! Capture the Linjin Pass in one fell swoop! ”

"Hah, drink,"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

With the sudden confusion of the defenders on the Linjin Pass. Although the soldiers who attacked the fortification under the city did not know why, they still quickly climbed to the top of the city, opened the gap, and the soldiers couldn't help but rush up, and then Xu Huang led the rear army to join the war group, and the defenders of the entire Linjin Pass were becoming more and more chaotic.

A soldier who rushed to the city of Guancheng slashed a Xiliang soldier to death with a sword, but at this moment, a Xiliang soldier was about to stab with a spear in his hand, and the soldier said secretly: "It's over!" Thinking of this, he closed his eyes, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel the pain on his body, so he quickly opened his eyes and saw that the Xiliang soldier who was going to assassinate him before was stabbed in the back and hacked to death. The soldier looked around, and saw that his companions behind him had been rushing up, he was no longer in the front, but in the middle, in addition to his companions rushing up from behind, on the other side of Linjin Pass, there were also soldiers wearing the same military uniforms climbing up along the rope.

The soldier became curious, walked to the other side of Linjin Pass in a few steps, and looked up, but saw that the water of the rolling river kept flowing, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang" couldn't help but come. Suddenly, the right soldier heard someone say! "Brother, pull me to tattoo the famous soldier, look down. Only then did I see that along the wall of the gate, dozens of soldiers climbed up along a rope that was set on the gate, and dozens of warships were surrounded below.

And it was a soldier who was about to climb up the fortress, and the soldier did not hesitate to stretch out his hand and pull his companion up below; The soldier who climbed up patted him and said, "Let's go, let's kill the enemy together!" In response, the two immediately rushed to the front-line battlefield that had already pushed the place of battle to more than ten steps away.

Attacking back and forth, dealing with a Xiongguan like Linjin Pass, how could Xu Huang expect these recruits. Although there are a large number of these recruits, Xu Huang, who has been leading the troops for a long time, naturally knows that the recruits are unreliable, and they may be unstoppable when their morale is like a rainbow, and once their morale is not high, it is likely to cause the army to be defeated. Therefore, Xu Huang had already set this plan when he first came out of Chang'an, and attacked Linjin Pass on both sides. Xu Huang's use of this warship was used by Gan Ning when he was training the navy in the Yellow River, and Bingdu was naturally not a navy. I just chose some to grow up by the Yellow River. The soldiers who would not get seasick and knew how to drive the boat from the Wei River made the Yellow River and drove to the Linjin Pass to flank it.

Linjin Pass suffered from two sides, the defenders immediately disrupted, with the guard will be from the British rushed up Xu Huang an axe to solve, Linjin Pass was finally captured by Xu Huang, less than an hour before and after the attack, but the losses of Xu Huang's army is a lot, including 2,000 people killed, more than 7,000 injured, which shows the combat power of the recruits.

However, the Linjin Pass was finally captured, and the recruits also went through a baptism of war and grew greatly. The night of Linjin is closed. and the big camp under the Linjin Pass, there were low sobs. In just one hour of battle, the recruits suffered heavy casualties, Xu Huang also knew that this was the stage that the recruits had to go through, in the past, it was better to mix in the recruits among the veterans, this kind of low crying after the war was only sporadic, but now it is such a low cry from the gate and the pass, Xu Huang is afraid that the morale of the soldiers will drop greatly because of this, so he personally closed and inspected the pass to stabilize the army's heart.

The army of Linjin Pass was still in the adjustment period, but Xu Huang captured Linjin Pass. After the news of the blockade of the Yellow River Xizai came out, Cheng Gongying of Jincheng was first shocked, then sneered, and muttered: "What about the capture of Linjin Pass, these recruits alone can stop the lord's army?" After that, Cheng Gongying ordered the stable Cheng Yin to send troops on behalf of Han Sui to deal with Xu Huang's army.

Anyi City, Meng Da and Hao Zhao leaned against the city wall, their bodies were stained with blood, Meng Da wiped the blood on his face, and said to Hao Zhao: "Bo Dao, thank you a lot, if it weren't for you." Maybe Da has already gone to see Hades. ”

Hao Zhao exhaled lightly and said, "What did the adults say?" The lord is the main general, if the lord has something, I am afraid that the city of Anyi will not be able to hold it. ”

Meng Da chuckled lightly and said, "Bo Dao Mo is going to be called an adult, we are brothers in life and death." Just call me Zidu. ”

Hao Zhao smiled, a guard brought the kettle, Hao Zhao opened the kettle, poured a few sips of cold water in a row, and then handed it to Meng Da and said, "Zidu, take a sip." ”

Meng Da didn't care about the blood stains on it, grabbed the kettle and poured a few sips of cold water. After Meng Da put down the kettle, he saw that Hao Zhao next to him had already stood up and turned his head to look at the city. Meng Da also stood up, only to hear Hao Zhao next to him whisper: "Han Sui doesn't know if he is a madman, he has been attacking continuously for the past five days, and his army is only afraid that there will be no less than 20,000 dead and wounded, and such a big loss will still be fought." ”

Meng Da heard it and said: "Fu Sui is determined to seize Hedong, and now there are only more than 1,000 defenders left in the city, and the defenders of the city can only rely on the help of the people." Fortunately, Bodao led the Blood Blade Battalion to fight against it, otherwise Anyi would have been broken a long time ago.

Hao Zhao had no choice but to scold: "Crazy! ”

Meng Da frowned and said, "It's been so many days, it's impossible for the lord to leave it unarranged." ”

"Knock knock,"

"Woooooooo

While the two were talking, the sound of war drums and trumpets under the city came again, and Hao Zhao scolded: "Here we go again!" It's only been less than half an hour, and it's not time yet, so Han Sui still wants to attack? ”

Meng Da pulled Hao Zhao and said hurriedly: "It's not the time to worry about this, quickly prepare for defense and let the people go to the city to help and transport the sandbags up!" ”

With the command of Meng Da and Hao Zhao, the city of Anyi began to be busy again, and the people kept carrying sandbags up the city, and some were cut into sections of uneven wood. After days of fighting, the materials for defending the city such as rolling wood and grinding stones have been exhausted. Now I can only barely use sandbags as radium, and these sandbags are still moved from the sandbags stacked at the city gate, but Meng Da does not dare to move more, for fear that the sandbags will be broken if the city gate is missing.

The people also helped to tear down some of the uninhabited houses at the city gates and cut the timber into sections. It is used as a rolling log, some of which are cut into pieces of wood, and then sharpened, so that the defenders of the city can use it as feather arrows, and the rest of the abandoned ones are taken to the top of the city to boil the cold water, and when the Western Liang army attacks the city, the boiling water will go to the lower city to kill and wound the enemy.

It can be said that the whole city has been mobilized in Anyi City. The people knew that if the city was broken, the end that awaited them would be tragic, so they all did their best to help the army defend the city, the men took up arms to defend the city, the old men and women helped to collect the materials for the defense of the city, and even the children silently helped.

Meng Da looked at the city coldly, and said silently: "It's here!" Then he commanded loudly: "Archers... Shoot the arrows! ”

"Woohoo

The wooden arrows sharpened by the people are shot out by the archers' big bows, the arrow rain is not dense, compared with the standard feather arrows, the lethality of these wooden arrows is not the same at all, although the blow of the arrow rain is limited, but the archers still keep releasing arrows under the command of Meng Da, attacking the Xiliang army under the city.

"Rolling wood, sandbags, put! Water, boiled water goes down! Fast! ”

The fierce battle began again, and the defense on the city of Anyi was undoubtedly weak, and the Xiliang army easily climbed to the top of the city through the ladder, and formed a small formation to guard the gap, waiting for more companions to climb up from the city.

"Bloodblade Battalion! I'm invincible! Kill! With Hao Zhao's order, the remaining more than 400 soldiers of the Blood Blade Battalion wielded the Blood Blade when the Xiliang Army at the head of the city launched an attack, where the Blood Blade passed, the Xiliang Army was killed and retreated, and the Xiliang Army with several gaps was killed down the city because of the Blood Blade Battalion's shot, and the conflict could not come up.
