"It's here again, everyone, be prepared, wait until this group of people get on the ladder before shooting arrows." The word "here it comes again" in the mouth of the guard of Jianmen naturally refers to the rebels in Sichuan.

On the fifth day after the last battle, the rebels regrouped and came to attack again. This time, just like last time, the troops were already covered by thatch shields and slowly moved towards Jianmen Pass.

Seeing such a scene, the guard at Jianmen Pass also learned a lesson. If you don't attack the city and start to climb the city, I won't release arrows. It's useless to release arrows in advance anyway. It can save a little bit.

In this way, the battlefield became extremely strange. The attacking side did not charge, but the troops formed a square formation and carried haystacks to advance. The defending side did not fire arrows, eagerly waiting for the other side to attack the city.

The situation on the battlefield was already weird enough, but something even weirder happened next. When the rebels were about to reach the gate of Jianmen Pass, they actually stopped in a place where rolling logs and rocks could not directly hit them.

He came down and started throwing bags of unknown contents at the base of the city wall.

"What is it this time?" The defenders at Jianmen Pass were already going crazy. They had never seen such a fight. The army stood under the city with haystacks on their backs and returned bags to the base of the city wall? Which song is this song from?

Just when the defenders on the city were still confused about the situation, the bags under the city were piling up more and more, and gradually began to form a small slope along the city wall. When the height of the slope became too high, the bags could not

When throwing it up again, the rebels started a new move.

I saw people in the rebel team starting to carry bags and charge towards the top of the hill close to the city wall. It was one or two people at first, and then more people rushed up the hill.

At this time, the generals of the army finally understood what the rebels were going to do. The rebels planned to use these bags to build a mound as high as the city wall and then directly use the mound to launch a general attack. These bags were filled with soil.

Realizing that something bad had happened, the generals of the army and the army immediately issued an order: "The entire army will attack the rebels who rushed up the mound. They must be quick. The rebels must not be allowed to build this large slope."

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers began to launch a fierce attack on the rebel soldiers who were rushing uphill with all their strength. At this time, they did not care about saving. All the arrows were fired at the enemy like locusts.

However, after the army attacked for a while, they found that the effect was not very good, because the slope built by the rebels was in a corner to the left of Jianmen Pass. Since Jianmen Pass was built on the valley between two mountains,

Therefore, there is only one extremely thick city wall connecting the two cliffs. Therefore, when the enemy troops gather in a corner of the city wall, most of the defenders on the city have a problem that the angle is too narrow when attacking this corner. Most of them

The arrows could not hit the rebels climbing up the slope.

In addition, the rebels deliberately used the side of the slope facing the cliff to climb, so arrows other than those directly above could not attack the climbing rebels.

As a result, the officers and soldiers exhausted their arrows, but the mound was still slowly growing higher and farther away.

Four hours later, the mound close to the wall reached the height of the city wall's battlements. At this moment, the condescension of Jianmen Pass no longer existed.

"Brothers, charge." Following Zhang Yu's order, the rebels began to launch a general attack.

A tidal wave of rebels began to rush onto the tower of Jianmen Pass through the mounds. Although the defenders upstairs had already taken precautions, they were still unable to cope with the huge crowd of rebels, and were gradually overrun by the rebels.

suppressed.

"Everyone, hold on for a moment longer. Reinforcements will arrive soon." The defender who cut down two rebel soldiers around him shouted, hoping to inject hope of resistance into the soldiers defending the city.

Zhang Yu, who also chopped down an officer and soldier beside him, also shouted: "Don't listen to the enemy's lies to deceive the people, they can't have reinforcements."

Although Zhang Yu didn't know whether the words of the Jianmen guard were true or false, in order to boost morale, he could only say this, and from the bottom of his heart, he did not believe that reinforcements would arrive at this time. If there were reinforcements, the troops would have rushed in.

Let's go out of the city to fight, instead of huddled in front of the city and watch the dirt pile up.

With Zhang Yu's encouragement, the rebel soldiers began to have the same idea as him, that is, it was impossible for the official army to come for reinforcements. As long as the city head was captured, Jianmen Pass would be lost.

As a result, the morale of the rebels became higher and higher. Looking at the officers and soldiers defending the city, even though the general said so, they had been guarding Jianmen alone for so many days and still no reinforcements were seen. Therefore, the officers and soldiers at this time did not respond to the general's words.

Credibility has been shaken, and with the gradual increase and strengthening of the rebels, the morale of the officers and soldiers continues to weaken.

The defeat of the army has been determined at this moment, and Jianmen Pass is about to be declared lost.

At this critical moment, the city gate of Jianmen Pass suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, rushing towards the rebels who were still under the city with a crushing force.

The rebels who were still immersed in their imminent victory at Jianmen Pass did not expect that there would be cavalry stationed in the pass. Unprepared, the entire rebel army under the city was overwhelmed by this sudden cavalry team.

At the same time, the number of officers and soldiers on the city wall of Jianmen Pass began to suddenly increase, and a large number of officers and soldiers came to support from the inner city.

This turned the entire situation around.

This sudden reinforcement was Li Jiguang's troops. Our General Li hurriedly and slowly arrived at Jianmen Pass at the most critical moment.

The general who was guarding the pass just now was not deceiving his soldiers. It was true that Li Jiguang's troops had just entered the pass from the north of the pass at that time. However, because the troops needed to change from a rushing state to a fighting state, there was a delay and they did not enter the battlefield immediately.

Due to the addition of Li Jiguang's troops, the battlefield situation quickly changed.

The rebels at the pass were made miserable by the cavalry galloping back and forth. Although there was only a narrow valley outside Jianmen Pass, it was not suitable for large-scale cavalry charges. However, small-scale cavalry units could still play a role, and because

The road was narrow, leaving the rebel soldiers nowhere to hide, and they could only be trampled repeatedly by the official cavalry.

The rebels in Guan Guan also had a difficult life. With the addition of official and military reinforcements, the rebels' numerical advantage began to disappear.

Once the numerical advantage is gone, the difference in combat effectiveness between the rebels and the official army begins to show. Originally, the official army could defeat two or more rebels at once. At this time, the rebels who were advancing bravely have been defeated.

The officials killed them all.

"General Zhang, let's retreat quickly. We can't fight anymore." Seeing that the balance of victory had begun to tilt toward the official army, Zhang Yu's soldiers began to persuade Zhang Yu to retreat.

Zhang Yu also knew that the current situation was very bad. The rebels under the city had been blocked by the official cavalry. There were no new troops to replenish the city through the mounds, and the troops on the city began to be gradually defeated by the official army.

The encroachment was lost. To make matters worse, more officers and soldiers began to come out from the city gate of Jianmen Pass and go around to the front of the pass to climb up the city through the mounds built by the rebels and outflank the rebels' retreat.

But Zhang Yu was unwilling to give in, very unwilling. The Tuqiu offensive was actually effective. If the official reinforcements had not arrived, Jianmen Pass would have been captured by him.

But now there is no time for him to think too much. Either retreat as soon as possible or die on the city. At this moment, Zhang Yu only has these two options. Of course, Zhang Yu can also choose to surrender, but although he

Zhang Yu was born as a farmer, but he also had his pride. Surrender was absolutely impossible, but he was unwilling to die here, so he chose to retreat.

Under the protection of more than a dozen soldiers, Zhang Yu quickly evacuated from the mound before the outflanking officers and soldiers were in place, and then met the equally embarrassed Wang Cormorant at the foot of the city, taking the remaining

The few troops that could still be commanded all evacuated to the south.

Due to the withdrawal of the general, the remaining rebels lost the will to fight and chose to surrender one after another. In this way, the offensive and defensive battle of Jianmen finally came to an end.

"I, General Li Jiguang, do you know your surname, general?"

"General Wu Wen, thank you General Li for your timely arrival. Otherwise, Jianmen would have fallen into the hands of the rebels."

"What did General Wu say? If you hadn't resisted desperately, I wouldn't have been able to arrive in time. Therefore, the greatest credit for the victory of this battle lies with you."

"General Li is ridiculous. Although the battle is over now, what will happen to these prisoners?"

Although the rebels suffered many casualties in this battle, some of them survived in the end but were not able to retreat with Zhang and Wang.

In desperation, these people had no choice but to surrender.

Although this group of people surrendered, the officers and soldiers are now faced with whether to accept their surrender, because once they accept their surrender, it means that before the rebellion is completely suppressed, they must not only support this group of people, but also send people

Look at this wave of people. This is a big expense.

From Wu Wen's point of view, he didn't want to accept the surrender of these people at all, and directly killed a hundred of them. But Li Jiguang didn't dare to do this. Before he led the team out alone, Zhao Weiji had specifically told him that once someone surrendered, he would accept it no matter how much.

"Let's send people to gather them first and take care of them. Let's wait until King Wu Yue comes to talk about the rest."

"But does General Li have the need to surrender the prisoners? There is not much food and grass in the pass."

"You don't have to worry about the problem of food and grass. When I led the troops, I also brought a lot of food and grass. In addition, the King of Wuyue will arrive in twenty days at most, so there will be no problem with food and grass. And the surrender

Prisoners are also the meaning of King Wuyue."

Once he heard that it was Zhao Weiji's intention to surrender the prisoners, Wu Wen no longer objected. After all, although he had not led troops to fight for many years, Zhao Weiji's deeds of defeating Brother Yelu Xiu were still praised in the army. There were still many possessions in the army.

Wu Wen is one of Zhao Weiji's supporters.

After collecting the rebel prisoners, the interior of Jianmen Pass began to be repaired, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Weiji's army.

At the same time, King Zhang, who fled back to the garrison in embarrassment, was not reconciled to this failure. They decided to consult the old man who gave them a pile of earth to attack the city, hoping to get some good advice to wash away their shame.
