Chapter 138: The War of Revival and Destruction (6)

As a time traveler, Guan Yi, who has modern humanistic concepts, did not like to abuse the enemy's corpses. However, he could not resist the strong demands of his subordinates, and he himself hated the traitors. Therefore, at the unanimous request of the soldiers under his command, he still ordered the bodies of more than 200 rebels led by Jiang Shu and climbed the city wall to nail the corpses of more than 200 rebels led by Jiang Shu to the city wall.

For Xiahou Xian's team, who watched the entire Jiangshu team's destruction throughout the process, although it was only noon at this time and there was still a long time before the sun set. But Xiahou Xian knew that today he could not urge his soldiers to attack the city no matter what.

Then he divided the soldiers under his command into three teams. One team was responsible for logging and creating siege equipment. The other team was responsible for strengthening combat readiness to prevent enemy assaults in the city (this is actually not necessary. The layered barrier walls did effectively slow down the attack speed of the Wei army, but also hindered the Han army in the city from taking a quick attack.) The only job of the last team was: tear down the wall!

As a child of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Xian’s identity is actually very embarrassing.

The royal family of the Wei regime was Cao, but everyone knew that Cao Cao, the founder of this empire, came from the Xiahou family. Therefore, in this regime, the Cao surname and the Xiahou surname were both national surnames.

After the Gaopingling coup, the Cao family was suppressed by the Sima family. As the most powerful alliance of the Cao family, the Xiahou family naturally could not escape - otherwise why would you think Xiahou Ba go to Shu Han? For more than ten years, the Cao family's relatives were moved to Yecheng by the Sima family, which was equivalent to a senior prisoner. The core figures of the Xiahou family also enjoyed the same treatment. Only a concubine's son like Xiahou Xian could escape this shameful fate of being kept in captivity.

Even so, Xiahou Xian knew very clearly that he should not seek any military achievements in this army. The greater the military achievements, the faster the Sima family's butcher's knife would come. Therefore, this time he attacked Shu, he took the initiative to take on the military ration escort officer of the rear team.

But now there was a problem with the food outlet! He suddenly felt that Alexander was already there. But even so, he didn't want to attack Yang'an Pass: he had won the battle, and his military achievements were outstanding - death! If he couldn't defeat him, he would lose his troops and lose his generals - death! So after forcing Jiang Shu's team to die and explaining the coming Zhong later, he was not ready to attack.

But before the boss arrives, he can't do nothing. After watching the game for a long time, he has keenly discovered that these obstacle walls are beneficial to the defense. Since that's the case, I'll tear these walls down so as not to see these things after the large troops behind him come up and General Zhenxi will get angry again.

Seeing the Wei army outside the city begin to remove the barrier wall, Guan Yi chuckled softly: This epoch-making bamboo-rooted concrete wall is not so easy to remove.

In ancient times, the best way to tear down a wall was to push it off. The soldiers of Cao Wei did the same at the beginning. But of course, the result was futile - the ground height was two meters, and the underground height was three meters. As the skeleton of this cement wall, the underground bamboo tube was hit five meters in.

It's okay, I'm fine, I'm some people. Then just take it off - no wonder Xiahou Xian had such a weird idea, because the main component of the city walls of this era was rammed earth. If this thing needs to be dried, it took only five or six days since the fall of Yang'an Pass, the rammed earth wall had not dried at all.

As a result, of course, it failed shamefully again.

"What material is this? How does the entire wall integrate? Could it be made of natural giant stones? But how can such a large stone be moved by humans? And how do the bamboo tubes inside the stone be inserted into it?"

In a short period of time, Xiahou Xian couldn't understand the tricks here. But the work of demolishing the walls still needs to be done. Since that's the case, then use the simplest and stupidest method: smash it!

However, this method really took effect.

Although it took effect, Guan Yi on the city wall is still not in a hurry: in modern society, it takes a lot of time to demolish so many concrete buildings in this way. This is still without anyone's interference - and now, although the bows and arrows on the Yang'an Pass are indeed very limited, it is still possible to occasionally launch dozens of them to harass the soldiers who smashed the wall.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the 20th, Xiahou Xian's troops only demolished five of the hundreds of obstacle walls.

Moreover, the wall is not finished even if it is removed: the base of the wall cannot be removed no matter how it is removed. This causes the ground to remain uneven: Think about it, thousands of people attack at the same time, and because there are hundreds of high or low obstacles on the ground, how can the troops in such terrain be faster? If you are not careful, you will fall into a large area.

Then, all day on the 21st, Xiahou Xian was cleaning the residual bodies of the five cement walls that had already been removed from the main body. Unfortunately, it was much more difficult to clean the residual bodies of the cement wall than to directly smash the wall. Xiahou Xian spent a whole day but still failed to achieve the expected purpose.

On the 22nd, Zhong Hui personally led 30,000 troops to arrive.

With pearls and jade like Zhao Kuo in front, Zhong Hui will certainly not make the mistake of "putting it to death and then living". With the 400,000 unjust souls of Zhao's army who were killed in the Battle of Changping, the morale of the Wei army was of course extremely high at this time. Therefore, after receiving the news of the fall of Yang'an Pass (received the news on December 20), Zhong Hui immediately responded.

During this process, the overall response speed of the 150,000-person Jiange camp was very fast. Because everyone knew what the entire army was in. Therefore, all the Wei soldiers had executed the orders of Zhong Hui in the past few days. On the morning of the 20th, Zhong Hui received the news that he could lead 30,000 people to drive out of the camp in the afternoon. Moreover, there was no need for any urging along the way, and the entire army ran automatically. The result was: a day and two nights, and the whole army arrived.

It was not that no one had any trouble. In the central army of Cao Wei, Pang Hui, the Jianwei General of Jianwei, who was known for his bravery, led his army to face Jiang Wei's army directly at the exit of Jiange. As a result, when Pang Hui heard that Yang'an Pass was in trouble, and the Guan-shaped banner was erected on Yang'an Pass. He immediately left the troops and ran to Zhong Hui's tent to petition, asking Zhong Hui to take him to Yang'an Pass.

"General Zhenxi, the father of the last general was loyal to the country in the past and was killed by the old thief Guan Yu. Now there are fifty-four generals, and I don't know how long they can live. For more than 40 years, the last generals have been thinking about destroying the Guan family and avenging their fathers! Today I heard that the general of the Shu thief Guan Yu's grandson! The last general is willing to give up everything and be a first-class man. But I hope that the general Zhenxi will fulfill his wish!"

Zhong Hui actually disagrees with Pang Hui's feelings: when two armies are fighting, your father is defeated and captured and refused to surrender, and isn't that normal? What's the matter? In recent years, Pang Hui has killed fewer people on the battlefield? Everyone is as you think, aren't they all going to face countless assassinations under the battlefield?

However, this silly old man looks excited and his morale is available. Well, take you with him.

Now, Zhong Hui, who knows that he is deeply trapped in a cage, is very regretful and anxious, but his mind is not in chaos. After receiving the loss of Baishui Pass on the 19th and Yang'an Pass on the 20th, Zhong Hui's response is relatively safe.

On the other side of Baishui Pass, Hu Lie was responsible for the attack. In addition to the 10,000 people brought by Hu Lie, he also supported 10,000 people from the Jiange camp. To be honest, even if Baishui Pass was taken down, it was not very meaningful: from Baishui Pass to Qiaotou and then to Qishan Camp, it was afraid that it would be a thousand miles away. There was no large town along the way that could support more than 100,000 people to eat horses. Even if the road was opened, the entire army could withdraw from this encirclement and at least half of them would starve to death on the retreat!

So, the real and only way to live is in Yang'an Pass!

At Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui personally led 30,000 people to the north. In addition, Xiahou Xian's advanced troops were 10,000, which was a total of 40,000.

The military supervisor Wei Guan led 50,000 soldiers and 40,000 civilians to continue to sit in the Jiange camp to guard against Jiang Wei in Jiange. Yes, before going north to Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui opened the arsenal and armed all the 40,000 civilians. At this time, if everyone wants to go home, then join forces and fight to the death.

I rushed to hurry up and just sniffed on the horse for a while for two consecutive nights, and finally arrived at Yang'an Pass early in the morning of the 22nd.

"The last general meets with General Zhenxi."

"Hmm, huh? These rammed earth walls..."

"General's eloquence! This wall is really weird!"

On this side, Xiahou Xian began to explain to Zhong Hui that they had never seen before. A figure on the other side had driven the horse and rode alone to the city of Yang'an Pass.

"Pang Hui, the son of Pang Lingming, the marquis of the Great Wei Dynasty, is here! A low-ranking member of the Guan family, dare to come out of seclusion and fight with me!"
