Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Three: Capture Huxiao Pass
By the time Jianliu arrived, it was already too late.
They started a bloody battle with the Jin army who was quickly cleaning the battlefield, and finally drove the Jin army back.
At this moment, Jianliu was staring at the body of his fifth brother in a daze.
I remember back then, the seven brothers went down to the sword pavilion and swore to assist the Mingjun of that time to bring peace to the troubled times.
Unexpectedly, the Wei Kingdom had just begun to become stronger and stronger, and some of their brothers would leave this world forever.
How can Jianliu be reconciled to this?
Unfortunately, everything is a foregone conclusion and irreversible.
If I had arrived sooner, Fifth Brother would not have to die, right?
Jianliu murmured this.
However, there are no assumptions in this world.
At Huxiao Pass, the Jin army officers and soldiers stationed here have been completely injured, but no one has flinched.
The commander inside the pass was a general named Wang Zhaoan.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious.
The defense of Huxiao Pass has reached the most critical moment. If the reinforcements do not arrive yet, then, no matter how powerful you are, it will no longer be possible to defend this pass.
A new round of siege began again.
Whenever Yue Fei ordered his troops to attack the city, Wang Zhaoan would personally go to the city gate to supervise the battle without taking any action. He would just stand behind every soldier regardless of the danger.
During a siege, Yue Fei noticed his actions and said to the generals around him: "This man is quite intelligent. His actions invisibly inspired the Jin army's attitude towards defending the town.
This will make our siege even more difficult. If we want to capture Huxiao Pass quickly, we can only do it quickly by getting rid of this general."
Therefore, during this siege, the generals under Yue Fei began to prepare to kill the Jin general when he was unprepared.
Most of this siege was a feint attack. The real killer move was the masters of Jiange and Jinyiwei hidden in the siege team.
During the siege, a large number of soldiers covered them as they approached the city gate. They found the right moment for Wang Zhaoan to stop, and finally allowed the masters to scale the city wall at the cost of the soldiers' bones.
This was only possible because of several days of successive attacks on the city, which caused heavy casualties to the Jin soldiers in Guan Nei.
Otherwise, according to the peak combat power of the Huxiao Pass defenders, even if these masters scale the city wall, it may not be of any use.
When Wang Zhaoan saw someone scaling the city wall, he was about to put an end to the chaos, and immediately arranged for his soldiers to besiege them.
However, these Wei soldiers who climbed onto the city wall are a bit confusing, because they did not come to attack the city wall and kill the enemy, but they were painstakingly protecting the last person who climbed the city wall and kept moving forward.
This is very puzzling.
But just these few people climbing up the city wall are nothing more than slapping an egg against a stone.
Soon, he discovered that his idea was completely wrong.
Because when those Wei soldiers were advancing a few steps in their direction, one of the people they were protecting suddenly fired a hidden arrow, hitting him right in the chest.
The masters sent by the Wei army to climb the city wall saw that the plan was completed and began to fight hard to kill the enemy, but in the end no one survived.
Before these people were all killed by the Jin army, Wang Zhaoan fell to the ground.
He never dreamed that he would be killed by an unknown soldier among the rebels.
As soon as Wang Zhaoan died, the Jin soldiers guarding the city began to panic and chaos. First, a few people had no intention of resisting and just wanted to escape. Then these few people infected most of the people, and everyone had no intention of fighting.
Even the generals who defended the city ran away.
Yue Fei laughed heartily when he saw the enemy troops in disarray on the city wall, and then ordered the three armies to launch a general attack.
After a great battle, the Guanzhen, which the Wei army fought hard for several days, was finally captured.
The three armies were all laughing at this moment.
After receiving the news, Cao Shen immediately dispatched a large army to station at Huxiao Pass.
Lu Bing, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, also took advantage of this time to pass through Huxiao Pass, pretending to be a merchant fleeing from the pass due to the war, and entered the Jin Kingdom. After capturing the city pass, Cao Shen began to send people to inform Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun
marshal.
After they learned the news, they all took a deep breath, and then followed the original plan and stopped fighting the Jin army. Instead, they deliberately opened a gap and let the Jin army rush to Huxiao Pass.
But when the generals of the Jin army saw the flags changed at Huxiao Pass, they realized that the pass had changed hands, and they realized that they had fallen into a trap.
Because as long as they think about it with their brains, they should understand why Wei Jun suddenly let them go to support Huxiao Pass easily.
I'm afraid the way back has been blocked.
Sure enough, Zhao Yun dispatched his most elite infantry and spearmen, which he had been reluctant to use, to block the Jin army's retreat.
Chen Qingzhi, on the other hand, personally led the white-robed army he had built to block the retreat of another Jin army.
Neither siege the city nor retreat, it seems... we can only let others slaughter us?
Soon, under the encirclement and annihilation of the Wei army forming a triangle, the Jin army was severely damaged.
In the battle of Huxiao Pass, the Wei army won a great victory!
However, among the Wei army, countless people died in battle.
The number of battalion-level lieutenants alone was killed in the battle, which was tragic.
Of course, the most senior general killed in battle must still belong to Sword Five.
Overall, it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a great victory.
Three days later.
Beijing.
In the Xuanzheng Hall, Zhao Changqing was enjoying sweet porridge under the service of He Ning.
Suddenly, an urgent military report was received, and the person who sent the military report said: "In the battle of Wudinghe, all 50,000 soldiers of our army were wiped out, and General Jianwu was killed!"
After Zhao Changqing asked the scout who delivered the message to go down to collect the reward, he fell into deep thought and looked a little sad.
He Ning didn't know how to comfort her. She had met Jianwu several times and he was a very strong man. If nothing else, except for the few people in Jiange who were originally masters of land gods, he was the most promising one.
One of the people who has been promoted to the ranks of land immortal masters.
But I didn't expect that he would die so young.
She thought for a while and thought it would be better to say something, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Jianwu would actually..."
But before he finished speaking, Zhao Changqing's somewhat sad voice was heard, "In a war, no one will die. I hope Jian Wu's death is worth it. Send someone to tell Jian Yi about this matter immediately.
He will know sooner or later."
He Ning nodded. At this moment, she really didn't know what to say.
None of the battle reports sent in the past few days were good news, which made Zhao Changqing's mood drop to the point of being underestimated.
After a while, Zhuge Liang also sent a battle report, but Zhao Changqing was no longer interested in listening.
But when he saw his happy expression, Zhao Changqing felt that the matter was not that simple, so he asked tentatively: "Good news?"
Zhuge Liang nodded happily and said: "Your Majesty, I am very happy to congratulate you! We have been attacking the Tiger Roar Pass for several days, and finally captured it. Moreover, the three armies used the same trick to severely damage the Jin army!"
Finally there is good news.
Huxiao Pass was finally captured.
Zhao Changqing became a little happy and said: "Immediately send someone to tell the soldiers at the border that I will reward them and count the number of people participating in the battle. Everyone will have a reward, and no one will be left behind!"
Chapter completed!
