Chapter 412: Smuggling to Dingjun Mountain
The orderly battle of Yangpingguan escalated again with the arrival of Fei.
Originally, the previous battle between the two sides was at the level of 1,000 people, up to 10,000 people. The arrival of Fei suddenly raised the scale of the battle to 100,000 people.
A battle with 100,000 participants would be a massive battle from any perspective.
The purpose of Fei's visit was to relieve the siege of Han Le and the Second City, counterattack the Wei army that entered Hanzhong, and drive the Wei army out of Shu.
Although Fei was not interested in the Northern Expedition, when it came to protecting the territory and the people, he would still spare no effort to fight when foreign enemies invaded. This time, he mobilized 50,000 troops stationed in Fucheng to reinforce Hanzhong, which was almost Shu.
Nearly one-third of the country's army, and this is also the only mobile force in Shu.
Now Shu's military strength in Hanzhong has exceeded 100,000, and it has the capital to compete with the Wei army. Especially outside Yang'an Pass, nearly 80,000 Shu troops have gathered, so Fei Du captured Yang'an Pass.
Still confident.
The army led by Fei Suo is not a partial division like Jiang Wei's army. This army stationed in Fucheng is currently the only mobile corps of the Shu army. The reason why the army is stationed in Fucheng is entirely to deal with enemies on three sides.
If Fucheng goes north, it can support Hanzhong, if it goes east, it can support Yong'an, and if it goes south, it can support Jianning. As long as there are no troubles in three places at the same time, the Shu army can protect all three places.
This army is also equipped with a comprehensive range of weapons. Zhuge Liang is a master of mechanical manufacturing like Ma Jun. He not only manufactured the world-famous Zhuge Liang Repeating Crossbow and Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse, but also carried out large-scale renovation of various military equipment currently used by the Shu Army.
Upgraded and transformed to create more sophisticated instruments.
After Zhuge Liang's transformation of catapults, siege vehicles, and serial ballistas, these siege weapons have doubled in power. When the Shu army attacks Yang'an Pass again, they no longer need to use the most primitive weapon of antfu.
As soon as Fei arrived at Yang'an Pass, he ordered the heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on Yang'an Pass.
Stones were flying all over the sky, and the repeated crossbows were as powerful as rain. This was obviously a huge test for Xiahou Ba, who had just taken over the defense task of the Yueqi Battalion.
However, Xiahou Ba didn't have the slightest fear. Many years ago, he had dreamed of coming to the land where his father died and launching a battle of revenge to avenge his father's blood.
His father Xia Houyuan died in the battle at Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong, and in the end not even his bones returned to his hometown. This undoubtedly became an eternal pain in Xiahou Ba's heart. He tried every means to transfer himself to Guanzhong, just to be closer to his father.
I hope that I will have the opportunity to come to Dingjun Mountain in the future. Even if I cannot find my father's grave, as long as I can stand on this land, it will be the greatest comfort in my heart.
Yesterday, on the way to Yangping Pass, when passing Dingjun Mountain, he dismounted and stopped for a moment. This place was deserted. Trying to find Xiahou Yuan's grave was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It finally came out.
Dingjun Mountain carries too many sad memories of Xiahou Ba, and also carries too many dreams and long-cherished wishes of Xiahou Ba. At this moment, he cried like a child.
He respectfully laid three sticks of incense and kowtowed three times. Xiahouba did not stop any longer because he knew that the war was raging over Yangpingguan. The deceased was dead and his wish was fulfilled. What was left was
The purpose is to repay this blood debt that has been owed for twenty-seven years, to avenge the blood hatred of my father, and to rest his soul in heaven.
How could Xiahou Ba, who had a strong desire for revenge, be afraid of the Shu people so easily? Even if the Shu army used large siege equipment, Xiahou Ba would stand on the front line of the city without flinching, commanding the Wei soldiers to be tight.
Guard the city and prevent the Shu army from taking advantage of it.
Relying on the superiority of its troops, the Shu army launched the most violent offensive against Yang'an Pass. Looking down from the city head of Yang'ang Pass, the red crowds were all over the mountains and fields, like locusts and ants, densely packed and eye-catching.
My scalp is all numb.
Yang'an Pass is adjacent to Jigong Mountain to the south and the West Han River to the north. There is only one road between the cliffs and deep streams, so the Shu army's attack surface is not too wide.
Xiahou Ba deployed his most elite troops on the city walls and fought tooth and nail, holding on to the city without wavering or giving up. He fought fiercely with the swarming Shu army, never allowing them a chance to overstep their bounds.
It has to be said that the city of Yang'an Pass was too solidly built. The combination of the dangerous terrain and the fortified city made Yang'an Pass a natural chasm that was difficult to overcome.
Of course, this credit must also be attributed to the Shu people. It is precisely because of their tireless repairs to Yang'an Pass that today Yang'an Pass is as solid as a rock.
Probably all the Shu troops who attacked Yang'an Pass were heartbroken. The Guancheng they built ended up becoming their own obstacle. If they had known that such a day would come, they might as well have cut corners and left some flaws that can be easily exploited now.
.
But at this moment, they could not find any loopholes in Yang'an Pass. Even if they used more trebuchets and mobilized more troops to participate in the attack, the city wall of Yang'an Pass was
Always standing still.
After attacking the city for several days, the Shu army made no progress and was blocked outside Yang'an Pass, unable to advance even an inch.
Fei, who was originally smug and ambitious, is now anxious and frowning. They have spent too much time outside Yang'an Pass. If Yang'an Pass cannot be overcome, the situation in Hanzhong is worrying. Although Wang Ping and Liu Min are currently sticking to the Second City of Hanle, they are still in the second city of Hanle.
Under the heavy siege of the Wei army, the situation was extremely grim, and reinforcements were urgently awaited.
Now Wang Ping and Liu Min are like two chess ribs on the chessboard. If they work hard, the situation of the entire chess game will be great. But if they die, the Shu army will be completely defeated. This game in Hanzhong will be lost.
Glossy.
The importance of Hanzhong to Shu is self-evident. It is not only a springboard for Shu to advance northward into the Central Plains, but also a barrier to defend Yizhou. Once it is lost, the entire Yizhou will face the threat of powerful enemies all the time.
There is nothing to be done with the plan, the only option is to summon the generals to brainstorm ideas.
"How to break through Yang'an Pass? Do you have any suggestions?"
The generals shook their heads one after another. Now luring the enemy to fight would not work at all. The Wei army was huddled in Yang'an Pass and could not fight. The Shu army had no other choice but to attack by force.
At this time Jiang Wei said slowly: "I have a plan, I wonder if it is feasible?"
Fei's face showed joy and he said: "If Bo Yue has any clever ideas, you might as well speak up!"
