Chapter 400: Before the Great War
As soon as the day dawned, Taishan woke up in his sleep, Taishan tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep, always worried about the army of Yuanqi outside the Guan, lest Yuanqi would launch a surprise attack at night, Taishan remembered very clearly, Hanzhong was lost in the night battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt wasn't until it was almost dawn that Tarzan collapsed on the bed with his clothes and fell asleep in a daze.
Not long after falling asleep, a rush of footsteps woke Tarzan up. Taishan turned over and sat up, and Fa Zheng's slightly anxious face entered Taishan's eyes.
"What's the alarm? Did Yuan Qi start attacking the city?" Taishan asked Fa Zheng first.
Fa Zheng shook his head and replied: "The Yan army in front of the pass has not moved for the time being, but a large number of Yan army flags suddenly appeared after the pass, the banner of Ma Yue, one of the five tiger generals under Yuan Qi, and the banner of Wei Yan, the eight good generals, are among them, and there are also the banners of more than a dozen deputy generals, dozens of battle flags of different sizes, judging by these flags, I am afraid that the Yan army that appeared behind the pass also has at least 50,000 people. ”
Hearing the forensic words, Taishan jumped up from the bed and asked with wide eyes: "What did you say? The banner of the Yan army suddenly appeared after the pass? Didn't Gu arrange the defenders on the top of the mountain behind the Jiameng Pass? How did the Yan army come to the back of the pass? Could it be that they can't fly?"
In the face of a series of questions about Mount Tai, Fa Zheng could not make any answers, Mo said that Mount Tai, even Fa Zheng is now confused, I don't know how the enemy troops behind the pass came, in Fa Zheng's memory, but I have never heard anyone mention, in addition to the road in front of the pass, there is another road, which can go around from Hanzhong to the back of Jiameng Pass. If there really was such a road, when Yuan Zhang and Zhang Lu were at war in the past, this road would have been used a long time ago, so how could it not be discovered until today?
Fa Zheng didn't know how to answer Tarzan, and Tarzan didn't seem to be in the mood to stay in the room and listen to Fa Zheng's explanation. He grabbed his coat and put it on his body, and hurried out, he wanted to see with his own eyes the situation after the pass, to see if at least 50,000 people appeared behind him, as Fa Zheng said.
Coming to the wall behind the pass, Taishan raised his eyes and looked up at the mountain. Sure enough, just like Fa Zheng said, from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are Yan Jun's battle flags everywhere, and in the middle of the mountainside, the two general flags of Ma Yue and Wei Yan are particularly eye-catching. In the mountains and forests that have long since faded green. Through these reflections, Taishan immediately judged that there were at least 20,000 people in this sudden, like a divine soldier descending from the sky. And Taishan can almost conclude that the 20,000 people he can see are the elite of the land under the command of Ma Yue, which is only what he can see, and what is invisible?
Taishan was misled by his own sense of hidden dangers, and he subconsciously thought that the 20,000 returned troops were in the light, and there must be many ordinary Yan troops in the dark, otherwise there would be no need for Ma Yue's department to carry so many battle flags when he crossed the mountains and mountains and came to the back of Jiameng Pass. Tarzan's reaction at the moment. completely fell into the expectations of Zhuge Liang and others in advance, exactly the same as their assumptions, without any deviation.
This can't blame Taishan for being timid, there is only one road before and after the pass of Jiameng Pass, and now the enemy army appears at the same time before and after the pass. Mount Tai has no way forward, there are enemy troops behind, and before you know it, you are surrounded by enemy troops, and there is no way to retreat. In such a desperate situation, who can not panic? Taishan was not frightened and was already bold.
"It's the Earth Returning Army under Yuan Qi's command, these damn things, how did they come here?" Taishan gritted his teeth and popped out of his teeth, but obviously, Fa Zheng still had no way to solve his doubts.
Suddenly, Ma Yue's loud shout came down from the mountainside: "Yuan Da'er! Today is your death date, you have already planted your wings and cannot escape, I persuade you to abandon your weapons and surrender, and arrest them!"
With Ma Yue's shout, 20,000 Gui Lux gathered their strength, followed by a loud roar: "Abandon your weapons and surrender, and you will be captured!" The physical fitness of the Di Gui Lux was originally superhuman, and their voices roared in unison, forming a wave of earth-shattering sound, which was transmitted far away, not only Taishan could hear it clearly, but even the Yizhou army responsible for defending the main army of Yuanqi in front of the pass heard it.
The roar of the earthly warriors in unison was obviously rehearsed a long time ago, one is the anger of Taishan, it is best to provoke him and make him lose his due calm, the most important thing is that Ma Yue used this method to inform Yuan Qi, the battle in front of the pass, can begin.
Taishan was obviously not lightly yelled by the earth's return to the wrestlers, and his whole face instantly became iron-blue, but Taishan was also in a critical situation until today, and he would end up being caught in the urn if he was not careful, so Taishan suppressed his anger and turned his head to Fa Zheng and said: "Filial piety, quickly send someone to transfer troops before the pass, this little force after the pass can't stop Ma Yue for too long!"
Fa Zheng nodded, turned around and was about to send someone to transfer troops, but after taking two steps, Fa Zheng retracted his footsteps and asked Taishan: "King, there is also a war in front of the pass, but I don't know how many people and horses to send over?"
Taishan pondered for a moment and said: "For the time being, send 50,000 people over, and the strength of the Yan thieves is equal, they will not be so easy to break through the pass, filial piety, after the transfer of troops, you will stay here to command the battle, and later the two generals Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi will come to assist you." ”
Just when Taishan was telling Fa Zheng about the defense, Wu Ban hurriedly ran over, and shouted to Taishan from a distance: "King, Yuan Qi has launched an attack in front of the pass!"
Taishan's heart sank, and he immediately walked towards the front of the pass, and said to Fa Zheng as he walked: "Filial piety, please, you must guard the pass, otherwise we will die and have no place to be buried!"
Fa Zheng nodded firmly, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the king is a literati, but he also has the courage of a military general, and he is swearing that if you are locked up in people, you will be destroyed and killed!"
Taishan glanced at Fa Zheng deeply, then quickened his pace and ran towards the front of the pass. When Mount Tai came to the front of the pass, he saw that in the open space nearly a thousand steps away from the pass, more than 100,000 Yan troops had lined up the battle array, at the front of the battle array, hundreds of towering arrow towers had been pushed out, in the gap between the arrow towers, at least two hundred red-clothed ballistas had been filled with crossbows, one long, four short and five crossbows, were unscrupulously revealing a hideous edge, aimed at the wall of Jiameng Pass.
In the center of the array, Yuan Qi, who was wearing a dazzling gold armor, was guarded by dozens of generals around him like stars holding the moon, and Mount Tai was even separated by a distance of thousands of steps, and it was clearly seen that Zhang Wu was riding on the claw of the divine horse, wearing the Ming Disc Dragon Armor that only the senior generals of the Yan Army were qualified to wear, holding his Zhangba snake spear that Mount Tai was familiar with, and standing tightly on the side of Yuan Qi.
Seeing Zhang Wu, Taishan couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart, what a familiar scene, in the past, Zhang Wu guarded his side like this, after 20 years of time, it has never changed, but I didn't expect that today, Zhang Wu's spear blade of the Zhangba snake spear was actually aimed at the direction where he was! Brothers turned against each other, whose fault was it? And Guan Wei, whose whereabouts are unknown, where is he? In the past, when he was poor, his two brothers followed him without complaint, sharing weal and woe with him, why did he now have achieved fame, but the two brothers left him one after another?
In the Yan army array, the passionate drum of the general's order sounded, which was the prelude to preparing for the attack, and more than 100,000 troops operated regularly in the drum of the general's order, stepping on the rhythm of the drum, and entered their own established strategic position.
Seeing that the Yan army was preparing to attack the city, Taishan immediately shouted to the civil and military officials around him: "You must teach the Yan thief a lesson today and prepare for battle!"
The officials under Tai Shan's command immediately took action, and a group of civil officials protected Tai Shan and retreated, until they retreated to the inner wall of the pass wall, and then stopped, here, it was the dead end of the bow and arrow, and it was the safest place before the Jia Meng Pass was breached. Dozens of generals began to be distributed, and three or five people were divided into groups, each leading the people of the headquarters, and began to deploy at various positions on the wall.
Without waiting for these generals to fully arrange their defenses, the first wave of the Yan army's attack was launched. As usual, it was still the red-clothed ballista as the first weapon for the siege, and under Huang Yong's order, two hundred red-clothed ballistas made a loud noise at the same time, and thousands of crossbows were shot away from the tips of the red-clothed ballistas, with a burst of sound of breaking the sky, like meteors shooting towards the wall of Jiameng Pass.
