Suoyang Pass is located in the Boshan Mountains, between roads.
There is a rock wall on the left and an earth wall on the right.
The rock wall is relatively difficult to climb. Although the earth wall is relatively steep, it has become somewhat steeper after years of rain erosion.
There is a city gate in the middle, with gates, no drawbridges, and no trenches.
It sounds good, but in reality the defenses are very weak.
Although there are stone and earth walls on the left and right sides of the outermost pass, they are not very high. Ordinary people can even climb up using a vehicle as a stepping stone and a personal ladder. But after all, it is a pass that has existed since the early Chinese period, so
The general defensive structure is still there, a simple city wall in the shape of a "sun", and the inner city is slightly higher than the outer city.
It has been in disrepair for a long time, and the gaps between the stones used to stack the city wall are not small, and you can even climb directly along the stone gaps.
This is how they climbed up secretly...
Now we have to prevent Cao Jun from counterattacking like this...
It's really a turn of events, not bad at all.
In Suoyang Pass, all soldiers have been mobilized, and all soldiers are performing their duties and busy.
Weapons were placed where they were handy, and spare ones were piled on top of the city.
Some people also moved everything out of the warehouses in Suoyang Pass and transported it to the city wall.
The tense atmosphere before the war enveloped the entire Suoyang Pass.
I have always stood on the main building of the inner city, looking up at the tricolor flag erected on the top of the city for a long time.
For a while, he hated and feared the three-color flag, but now when he was under the flag, he felt at ease, even though he knew that a fierce battle was coming next.
The late autumn sun is somewhat weak.
The birds in the mountains seemed to have noticed something. They just called twice in a hurry in the early morning and then flew to nowhere.
I never thought that there were people like him under Qiusi's command.
For example, Xun Chen.
Xun Chen, as the Xun clan of Yingchuan, went to Yuan Shao as a bargaining chip.
For a big Han noble family, one person is just a bargaining chip.
There is no distinction between men and women.
Whether individual chips are used, lost, or lost is not a big problem for the big family, as long as the overall profit is made.
The result is the most important, the process does not matter.
When the Xun family believed that Yuan Shao was not worth investing in and failed to win over the Jizhou natives, they invested in Cao Cao. Xun Chen, who had a deeper bond with Yuan Shao, was eventually abandoned...
Just think of it as lost, gone, dead.
Xun Chen told Zheng Yi that when he arrived in Pingyang, he also came here anonymously...
Xun Chen said that the original surname can always be restored. This is nothing under the Qiaoqi, and no one will impeach him for this.
The past is all gone, and the coming can still be traced.
A hussar needs fellow travelers.
Therefore, even though we were rivals and enemies in the past, but now we are walking together and are willing to follow the path pointed out by Qiusi, then we can put aside the past grudges and move forward together.
The premise is that you must really let go...
Xun Chen's advice has never been carefully considered.
However, I have always planned to wait until this battle is over before considering whether to restore my original name.
Fellow travelers...
Rather than people with the same surname.
It may be said that this is because the Fei Qian family is weak and they have to do it, or it may be said that Qiaoqi intends to win people's hearts, but it has given hope to many people, and they have truly seen staged gains in the process of following their peers!
This point is very important.
The process of stages, the results of stages, rather than a final "result" that cannot be seen or touched.
Shandong often does this kind of stunt...
Just like in Heluo back then, weren't there many gentry families who thought that they could become a part of Shandong by learning the scriptures of Shandong?
What's the result?
Shandong is tolerant on the surface, but in fact there are various invisible restrictions, while Guanzhong at least puts the restrictions on the surface...
Suddenly, the sound of shouting from the distance interrupted his thoughts.
"Here it comes! Cao Jun is here!"
The sentry standing on the top of the mountain looking out shouted in warning, "Cao's army is about two thousand!"
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Chang Jian shouted that he no longer thinks about the past, but only focuses on the present, and only then can he have a future.
…
…
Zhang Tiansheng, who was at the vanguard of Cao's army, looked at the feeble sun in the sky and suddenly felt that he was also so feeble.
Because of his good name, he was promoted from the army, but being promoted does not mean that he can really "win".
When I walked up the mountain, I felt that the mountain wind was getting stronger and stronger, making me feel very uncomfortable.
It's not even a very cold day yet, but the cold air has already begun to get into the gaps in my clothes and armor.
Zhang Tiansheng is a rather strong middle-aged man, about forty years old, tall, with average appearance, neither good nor bad. He only has one pair of eyes that are special. When he is not smiling, he looks particularly cruel, so he faces his boss
Always laugh when.
Perhaps because he smiles so much when facing his superiors, Zhang Tiansheng's fierceness and cunning are written on his face when facing his subordinates.
Among ordinary soldiers, he was one of the few generals with different surnames promoted in the middle period of Cao's army.
In the early days, those generals with different surnames were either because Cao Cao's army was short of manpower or because they were trying to attract people's hearts. In the middle and later stages of Cao's army, there were not many generals with different surnames in the army. People like Le Jinlou Yi were those who followed Cao Cao in the early days.
General, but people like Zhang Tiansheng will basically not be promoted to captain or higher.
So when Lu Chang called Zhang Tiansheng and asked him to lead his soldiers to recapture Suoyang Pass, Zhang Tiansheng agreed without saying a word.
There must not have been many hussars who attacked Suoyang Pass.
This is basic military common sense.
Only with a small number of people can we avoid Cao Jun's sentry with a high probability. The larger the number of people, the harder it is to hide.
The weather these days is not good, but it is not bad either, and the field of view is still good. Therefore, the hussars that attacked Suoyang Pass without being discovered by the sentries high in Zhongtiao Mountain should only be a few hundred.
people.
If there are more than a thousand people, the queue will often stretch half a mile away. The front will bump into Cao Jun's scouts, and the back will still walk...
If there were more people, then the opponent's sentries would have to be blind, or God would help and the strong wind and fog would make it possible.
The most important point is that the troops who came to attack Suoyang Pass will always be better than the troops who went to fight the hussars. The young and old in his family are still looking forward to him returning home, not
I don’t know if I can actually receive the pension.
Zhang Tiansheng came to Suoyang Pass.
If he was facing Tongguan, Zhang Tiansheng would naturally not dare to attack so arrogantly, but with the relatively low outer walls and weak defense system of Suoyang Pass, he felt that it would not be a problem for his two thousand soldiers to solve the battle.
Looking at the fluttering flag of Cao's army, Zhang Tiansheng felt somewhat pleased with himself. He planned that after recapturing Suoyang Pass, he would immediately use the excuse that he had discovered a small unit of the Hussars again, and then "pursue" them all the way to Heluo.
go!
In this way, he can be the first to evacuate the dangerous situation, even one step faster than Prime Minister Cao! How can it not be beautiful?
Zhang Tiansheng put his hands on his hips and looked at the Cao soldiers under his command.
The quality of these soldiers of Cao's army is obviously very average, but they have survived to this day because they have undergone a certain amount of training and have reached a certain level. Most of those guys who can't even hold swords and guns and are farmers who have been out of work for a few days have been transferred to other jobs.
They all either died or were captured in the first few stages.
Two thousand people, against hundreds of people, no matter what, I still have the advantage!
So what if the Hussars can fight again?
If you can't beat one with two, if you can't beat three, just use four!
It's hard for a good man to defeat four people, right?
Zhang Tiansheng looked at the mountain road with great ambition.
…
…
At Suoyang Pass, the hussar soldiers looked at the Cao troops coming along the mountain road without covering their whereabouts.
Qiang suddenly burst into laughter: "These fools! They are afraid that our reinforcements will not know that they are coming, so they deliberately create such a big fanfare to show our reinforcements!"
I have been standing on the city wall laughing, it seems that I really can't stand the stupidity of these Cao soldiers.
The laughter infected the other hussars soldiers, and they immediately recovered from the slightly tense and depressing atmosphere. They started talking and laughing quickly. This relaxed atmosphere was like a gust of wind, blowing quickly.
Visited every corner of Suoyang Pass.
If it were him before, would he care about the morale or emotions of his soldiers?
Or do you treat your soldiers and horses as empty chess pieces, to be manipulated at will?
Aha!
Yes, "at the mercy of".
I don’t know why, but some gentry people in Shandong like to use this word the most. They always manipulate this and that. But in fact, everyone is alive. Who will listen to the manipulation honestly?
Suddenly he had an idea. He suddenly stood up and said to the hussars soldiers at Suoyang Pass: "Everyone! Listen to me! We have achieved great success! The military judges have noted it! So we
Everyone must bring their merits home! Go back alive! Do you understand? Everyone must go back alive!』
"Go back alive?!"
The eyes of many hussar soldiers shone.
"Yes!" He always nodded, "Living is more important than anything else! So the first thing to do is to gather everyone's wound medicine now, and then Old Arrow will lead a group of people to form a treatment team to rescue the wounded full-time!"
Our lives are in your hands, Old Arrow!"
A veteran with an obvious arrow scar on his face laughed and patted his chest, "Leave it to me!"
Always smiled, and then said the second point, "First clear the way to escape! If we really can't resist, we will escape to the mountains! Everything that cannot be taken away will be piled in the square and burned at the last moment!"
Not abandoning the wounded and not fighting to the death, these two points have already restored the vitality of many hussars. Even if the reinforcements arrive a little later, what will happen? At worst, they will go into the mountains to engage in harassing warfare. It's not like they have never done it before!
He always laughed and said, "Now, all that's left is to get more merit! Merit, who doesn't like bigger ones? We are all men, and men all like bigger ones!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
There were also people shouting some nonsense, and the whole Cynomorium was suddenly shut up and down. It didn't look like they were on a battlefield about to face casualties, but like they were about to form a team to visit a brothel...
Always smiling and watching.
A few years ago, he would never have said such things to these people.
Because at that time, he only wanted a result, whether he could keep it or not, but now he understands that only when the process is done well can a good result be possible...
"Cao's army has begun to form a formation!"
The soldier on duty shouted.
He stretched out his head and looked at Cao Jun's formation under the outer wall. He turned around and raised his arms and shouted: "The hussars are victorious! Ten thousand victors!"
"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"
Suddenly, everyone shouted in unison, with fighting spirit like a rainbow.
…
…
Cao's army didn't have much rest before launching the attack.
In Zhang Tiansheng's view, there are only a few hussars in Suoyang Pass anyway. If they are all used up, everything will be over. So why rest?
The soldiers are just a little tired if they are tired, what does it matter?
It is always the archer who starts the game first.
A mass of black arrows roared towards him.
In any case, most of Cao Jun's arrows are still up to standard, and the coverage and projection are decent.
The arrows fell with crackling sounds, or stuck on the bricks and soil of the city gate, or bounced off and fell, and some even crossed the city wall and fell into the city. Most of these thrown arrows were still very lethal.
Yes, even if you are holding a shield, you cannot walk around at will. If you are stabbed in an unprotected area such as your calf, you will definitely be injured.
Zhang Tiansheng stood on the mountainside, very satisfied with the wonderful performance of his soldiers.
He shouted loudly to the messenger standing behind him: "Keep shooting! Shoot! Shoot all the arrows you brought!"
In Zhang Tiansheng's opinion, arrows are of little use if they are not used up now. Could they be used as firewood at night?
When the soldiers reported that all the arrows had been used, Zhang Tiansheng waved his hand and said, "Brothers, fire it up!"
No matter what happens today, he just wants to see one result!
Take Suoyang Pass!
…
…
With Cynomorium closed, I always laugh.
"idiot."
I always count silently, and when I reach thirty, I see that the arrows above my head are obviously much sparser. When I reach forty, there are basically no arrows flying upward.
After a while, there were indeed no more arrows. He finally showed his head and glanced down, and saw that Cao's army was changing teams. The archers were moved to the back and replaced by soldiers with swords and spears to attack.
"Archers! Shoot their cadets!"
Always shouted loudly.
They also did not carry many arrows, and there were not many arrows in Suoyang Pass, so they always used a completely different shooting mode from Cao Jun.
Only targeted at Cao Jun’s lower-level frontline commanders and non-commissioned officer cadets for sniping...
Cao Jun held up his shield and rushed up the simple wooden ladder while roaring.
Because the height of the outer wall of Cynomorium Pass is not very high, you can climb up the outer wall with an ordinary wooden ladder that can be used to grab the Xiongwa who lifts the tiles from the house. There is no need for a professional ladder at all. Even if you temporarily put away your sword and gun
If you get up, you can even dig directly into the stone cracks in the city wall and climb up.
However, because the road was not very spacious, Cao Jun was forced to form an attack surface of about thirty people, and they rushed up with a roar!
The hussar archers did not stand together like Cao's army, but hid in various corners, or on the sides, or in the gaps covered by the shields of their comrades, shooting at Cao's army swarming under the city.
Cao Jun's shield played a partial role. Most of the arrows failed to hit the target, but some arrows broke through Cao Jun's shield and pierced into the bodies of some Cao Jun.
"The boss was shot!"
Cao's soldiers shouted in panic.
When Zhang Tiansheng saw some soldiers from Cao's army trying to carry the wounded down, he raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes, "No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! Anyone who retreats will be killed! Up! Up!"
Cao's soldiers had no choice but to leave the wounded behind and continue the attack.
However, Cao Jun, who was shot at the grassroots command military academy one after another, had his organizational shortcomings exposed.
After the ladder is erected, who will climb up first?
A group of people stared at each other on the left and right side of the ladder, and then after a while they solved the problem——
The ladder was kicked down by the hussars.
So a group of people hurriedly picked up the ladder again.
Some soldiers climbed up, but others did not cooperate well, so the Cao soldiers who climbed up were quickly surrounded and suppressed, and some Cao soldiers had to jump down again...
Fortunately, the outer wall is not too high. It is possible to sprain your ankle and break your leg, but it is more difficult to fall to death.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Zhang Tiansheng waved his hand again.
"Shoot more accurately! Don't worry!" Changjia took a bow and shot at the surging Cao soldiers.
As Cao Jun was running, someone was hit by arrows from time to time.
The fallen soldiers of Cao's army were wailing on the ground, but no one paid attention.
Zhang Tiansheng's goal is to capture Suoyang Pass, so the result of this victory is what he and his superiors want. As for the process, the amount of losses, casualties, etc., no one pays attention, except those Cao Jun who faced the casualties.
Bottom layer.
Cao Jun's offensive rhythm slowed down unconsciously.
The dead and injured wailing on the road are always reminding these Cao Jun that victory belongs to the boss, the young model in the club belongs to the leader, and his own life is his own...
What can you gain by working hard?
A piece of armor made of scrap metal, a sword and spear made of crooked melons and cracked dates, and a promise of a huge increase in military pay in the future.
In the early years, when Liu Xiu redistributed land in Shandong and gave acres of farmland to self-cultivated people, these people at the bottom really thought that farming was working for their own families, and that hard work could feed the whole family. However,
They soon became disappointed. The harder they worked, the poorer they got, and the landlord class who tried every means to rob them had embezzled most of the value of their labor.
Shandong's result-oriented approach is a typical symbol produced in this process.
Don't go to extremes in anything.
The same is true for result orientation. If you work on something for a long time and get nothing, it is obviously wrong. However, if you only focus on the results and ignore the process, you will eventually produce a large number of results-oriented officials and generals...
The battle lasted from sunrise to sunset.
The soldiers of Cao's army dragged their feet, and even though Zhang Tiansheng kept shouting below, they still failed to attack a small and short Cynomorium Pass.
In desperation, Zhang Tiansheng recalled his soldiers, checked the number of soldiers, and found that the number of casualties was actually not many, a total of dozens of people.
Zhang Tiansheng became more and more furious, but it was getting late, so he had to suspend the attack and prepare to cook.
Zhang Tiansheng decided that he would burn the midnight oil and fight at night, and he would not give up until he conquered Cynomorium Pass. However, no matter what, people always have to eat, so no matter how anxious they are, they must cook and eat first.
But what Zhang Tiansheng didn't expect was that he was never a person who played his cards according to common sense.
