After killing Yao Yizhong, Yao Yi and his son, and annihilating the main force of the Yong army, the Wei army rested in Luoyang for three days, and at the same time, with Lu Qian as the general, led 20,000 troops to quickly capture Puban.

Subsequently, Ran Min marched westward with an army of 100,000 people, crossed Hangu Pass, and approached Pusaka. In this western expedition, Ran Min mobilized 100,000 forbidden troops, all of whom were elite divisions, in fact, there were tens of thousands of county soldiers from all over the country, 200,000 people, and countless grains and burdens!

It seems that Ran Min is determined to eliminate the forces in Guanzhong!

In ancient times, marching and fighting were actually divided into soldiers and auxiliaries.

A soldier, as the name suggests, is a soldier who is specifically responsible for combat, while an auxiliary soldier is a soldier who assists a soldier. And since the Qin and Han dynasties, in every war, there has never been a shortage of auxiliaries and people.

Wei's westward expedition was mighty and mighty, and he had soon arrived under Tongguan, but when he passed through Puban, Ran Min still stayed there temporarily, not for anything else, because he wanted to pay tribute to his father Ran Zhan!

In July 328 AD, Shi Hu, the prince of Zhongshan in Later Zhao, led 40,000 soldiers to march west from Yiguan to attack the east of the river in Former Zhao, and more than 50 counties should follow, so Shi Hu attacked Puhan. ァ新ヤ(8)1 Chinese 網ωωω.χ8.1zщ.còм

Liu Yao, the former lord of Zhao, sent Liu Shu, the king of Hejian, to dispatch the Di and Qiang warriors to be stationed in Qinzhou to guard against Zhang Jun and Yang's enemies, and he led the elite water and land armies at home and abroad to rescue Pu Han and cross the Yellow River from Weiguan to the north.

Shi Hu was frightened and led his army to retreat, and Liu Yao pursued.

In August, he caught up with Shi Hu in Gaohou and fought with Shi Hu, Shi Hu was defeated, Shi Zhan was killed, his body was pillow for more than 200 miles, and Liu Yao seized hundreds of millions of military funds. Shi Hu fled to Chaoge.

Ran Min then built a martyr's shrine in Pusaka, personally worshiped his father, mourned the memorial text, and then continued westward.

"Knock knock! ……”

"Kill!"

"Shoot the arrows! ……”

When Ran Min arrived in Tongguan, the battle here in Tongguan was in full swing.

The arrows in the sky shot like hornets on the tower of Tongguan.

Under Tongguan, the Wei soldiers in fiery red suits carried weapons and rushed towards the city in great strides. They faced the rain of arrows thrown down from above the city, and marched forward fearlessly to death, and every moment, dozens of Wei soldiers fell!

The Wei army carried countless siege weapons, including more than a dozen Wei pawns pushing the city bombers and rushing to the pass. And if one of the soldiers falls, another soldier will pick up and go forward.

The ramming wood, also known as the city-breaking hammer, is the oldest and most primitive siege equipment.

The earlier ramming log was a large piece of wood that was carried by several soldiers.

Later ramming timbers were more complex, with a wedge-shaped hammer at the front end, and a four-wheeled cart or siege tower in the middle, with soldiers surrounding the sides of the wooden beams and pushing them to hit the gates or walls.

"Hey-ha! Hey-ha! Hey-ha! ......" The soldiers of the Wei army shouted the trumpet, constantly pushing the city wood to hit the gate of Tongguan.

But how easy is it to break through the gates of this closed city?

At the other end of the gate, many Qin soldiers and soldiers used their flesh and blood to block the door, just blocking the impact of the city tree!

Under Tongguan City, many Wei soldiers had already set up a ladder and continued to climb up the ladder.

I just saw that Wei pawn was biting a ring-headed iron knife in his mouth, climbing the ladder with both hands, like an agile monkey, and he jumped on the top of the city in three or two clicks.

Of course, the city wall of Tongguan is different from the general city wall, and the city wall of Tongguan is made of bluestone bricks, which is exceptionally strong.

Moreover, Tongguan is surrounded by mountains and water, mountains on three sides, standing between the mountains and mountains, so relying on the mountains and building Tongguan, the foundation of its city wall is really some steep slopes, and the steep slopes are extremely high, and there are many barriers built on it.

If you look up from the bottom, you can't see the top tower at all!

Looking at such a majestic gate, anyone will be daunted!

In the process of climbing the cloud ladder, in fact, many Wei soldiers were killed, not being shot by stray arrows, falling down, and almost crushed to pieces. It is directly stabbed to death by the enemy above wielding spears and spears, or it is provoked to fly!

And in this case, the Wei army, which was on the attacking side, was even more riveted and rushed forward one after another.

Many Wei pawns pushed the mantle and moved forward step by step, and the curtain was covered with arrows, like hedgehogs.

And in the watchtower, the high watchtower is almost the same as the height of Tongguan, where the archers of the enemy and us shoot at each other, and the casualties are basically the same, but in general, it is still the side of the Qin army that is pressing the side of the Wei army to fight!

Up and down Tongguan, the shouts of killing soared to the sky, but the most casualties were still the Wei army. After all, on the attacking side, many people have fallen in a pool of blood on the way forward before they have even made a short encounter.

Ran Min saw this purgatory-like scene on the hillside in the distance, and said with emotion: "It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Tongguan!" ”

"Mingjin retreats!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the Wei soldiers who received the drumbeat of the retreat were like amnesty, and they all retreated like a tide.

Ran Min was beating drums in the big tent of the Chinese army to gather generals, he looked around, and said in a deep voice to the people present: "Rank, we have only attacked Tongguan for two days, and more than 3,000 people have been killed, this battle is to fill with life!" Tomorrow, we will be stationed in Meilin outside Tongguan, and we will not attack Tongguan again. ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, all the generals said they didn't understand.

Lu Gan immediately said: "King, but if we don't attack Tongguan, how can we enter the pass?" Tongguan is known as the reputation of the first pass in the world, the Yellow River in the north, the mountainside in the south, the key point of the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang, is the key to enter and exit the three Qin! If we don't take Tongguan, what's the benefit of staying in Merlin? ”

"yes!"

All the generals echoed: "Tongguan is dangerous, it is impossible for the Qin army not to know this." Behind Tongguan is Guanzhong, so it is very easy for them to move their grain and grass and soldiers and horses. Even if we confront the Qin army here, I'm afraid that it will be our Wei army who will not be able to bear it in the end! "New Bayi m.x81zw

Regarding the danger of Tongguan, Ran Min is naturally very clear.

Tongguan is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, located in the Yong, Si, Hebei three states of the key rush, choke Chang'an to Luoyang post road of the key rush, is the key to enter and exit the three Qin, so it has become the end of the Han Dynasty since the end of the Han Dynasty into the Central Plains and the west out of the Guanzhong, the Western Regions must pass through the place and the key pass, has always been the place where the soldiers must fight, known as "the first danger in the Jinnei", "the throat of the four towns", "one hundred and two passes" reputation.

The situation of Tongguan is very dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, there is a forbidden valley in the southeast, and there are 12 cities in the south of the valley; There are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north, and the Yellow River hugs down, and the west is near Huayue.

The surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks are even peaks, the valleys are deep and the precipices are exclusive, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and there is a narrow sheep intestine path in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth.

In the past, people often compared the situation here with "the danger of the road and the ape" and "the danger of the road stopping at Tongguan in the world".

Ran Min squinted his eyes and said, "Rank, please rest assured." It won't be long before we can break through Tongguan! ”

What gave Ran Min so much confidence? The generals were confused, but this was Ran Min's order, so they didn't dare to question it, so they could only obediently do their own thing.
