After Yang Huai, the guard of Jiameng Pass, received the news from Baishui Pass, he immediately started preparations. He was shocked by the speed of the Xiliang Army's advance. He was somewhat disapproving of the description of the messenger and opened the city gate directly. It was better to say that it was Wu Ban
It was difficult to defend the city, and then he made excuses, but this excuse was too ridiculous. As a general in Yizhou, Yang Huai also had rich experience on the battlefield, and he had never seen that kind of weapon.
"General, General Wu Ban is a general in the army. He will definitely not talk nonsense. You have to be careful. After Jiameng Pass, the Xiliang army can attack Guanghan, and then attack Zitong. If so, Yizhou will be in danger. Now the king of Hanzhong
He has just come to power and has not yet established a stable foothold. The hearts of the Yizhou family are in turmoil. Maybe someone secretly wants to show favor to the Xiliang army in order to stabilize the situation." Lingbao said.
Jiameng Pass is an important pass in Yizhou. The number of troops stationed there has reached 5,000. The food and grass supplies in the pass are enough for the soldiers for three months. The base camp is at the rear. There is no need to worry about the problem of food and grass. As long as the Xiliang army is blocked outside Jiameng Pass
, there is no danger in Yizhou.
"General Ling's words are reasonable, I will leave this matter to you." Yang Huai said calmly.
Lingbao handed over his hand and promised, and then left in a hurry. The military situation was urgent and they had to make complete preparations to block the enemy outside Jiameng Pass.
Lingbao's method is very simple. Since the Xiliang army has weapons that can directly open the door, I will seal the city gate tightly and prevent you from entering. This will have the effect of fending off the enemy.
When Wu Ban led dozens of soldiers to the gate of Jiameng Pass, Yang Huai, after careful interrogation, opened the door with great effort and welcomed Wu Ban into the pass.
Yang Huai Lingbao was extremely surprised when he mentioned what happened at Baishui Pass that day. The messenger might be exaggerating, but Wu Ban's solemn appearance did not seem to be a lie. It was very likely that the Xiliang army had this kind of weapon.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Wu. Go down and rest." Yang Huai said.
Although Wu Ban was the guard of Baishui Pass, he was defeated at this time and could only stay in the pass and wait for orders from the top officials of Yizhou. Life or death was also a matter of the above sentence.
He still showed off his power and made a circle outside the pass. Hua Xiong stationed troops and horses in an orderly manner, fought and won consecutive battles, all of which cost many soldiers, making the morale of the Xiliang army reach its highest peak. Baishui Pass is so majestic, it is not a battle.
Next, the Jiameng Pass in front of us is naturally not a problem. When the army arrives, the city gate will immediately turn into ashes, and the credit will be easily obtained.
"General, why doesn't General Guo just give you that kind of weapon? A thousand people might not be able to open the door and occupy Jiameng Pass." Li Meng asked in confusion.
"What do you know, kid? There are more than 5,000 defenders in Jiameng Pass. Even if a thousand of us open the gate, it will be difficult to capture it. Moreover, the management of those weapons is extremely strict. If you are not careful, the enemy will get it.
After the Holy Spirit investigates, can you and I bear this responsibility?" Hua Xiong scolded: "Wu Ban also escaped back to Jiameng Pass, so there must be defenses in the pass."
Li Menonuo said yes. With Hua Xiong's tone, he must have felt a pang in his heart. He just hit the spot and was scolded by Hua Xiong.
"Alright, pay close attention to the movements of the defenders in the pass. If anything happens, report it to me at any time." Hua Xiong said a few words and walked to the camp that had just been set up to rest.
There were only a thousand people outside the pass, which made Yang Huai think carefully. If the vanguard of a thousand people could be defeated, the morale inside the pass would definitely be high. After losing Hanzhong and Baishui Pass one after another, the defenders inside the pass must have some confidence.
Shake, Yizhou has been very stable for so many years. Basically, there have been no wars. Although the soldiers are trained very hard on weekdays, after all, they have not experienced war and lack real elite soldiers.
"General Ling, the Xiliang army only has a thousand people, but they dare to openly show off their power outside the city. If you don't take advantage of our army, why not take advantage of its unstable foothold and sneak out of the city to attack." Yang Huai said.
"The general's words are true. This is what the humble position means. However, there are more than a hundred cavalry outside the pass. It is said that the Xiliang Army's cavalry is extremely elite, so we must be fully prepared." Lingbao said.
"Well, select two thousand soldiers and prepare to leave seclusion at midnight. Don't let the news leak out." Yang Huai was a decisive person. Whenever he made up his mind, he would start to do it immediately.
"Nuo." Lingbao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he launched a sneak attack on the world-famous Xiliang Army. After his success, Lingbao's reputation in Yizhou will definitely increase greatly.
At the third watch, Lingbao led two thousand soldiers, opened the door and attacked the Xiliang army.
Looking at the Xiliang army scurrying around in a hurry, Lingbao's face showed a hint of joy, and he waved the spear in his hand "Kill!" He seemed to have seen a huge achievement waving to him.
Just a moment after two thousand soldiers broke into the camp, they encountered the cavalry of the Xiliang Army. Hua Xiong looked angry and brandished a sword and charged into the Yizhou Army. So far, the Xiliang Army has never encountered a defender who dared to leave the city for a sneak attack.
, the defense seems somewhat inadequate.
General Li Meng's flag was raised, and the soldiers moved closer to Hua Xiong, showing the quality of elite soldiers. The soldiers rested without disarming, and their weapons were at hand to respond to emergencies on the battlefield at any time. They are all standing troops. Why?
A standing army means to be ready for battle at any time. Once an emergency occurs, it can quickly assemble to meet the enemy.
Lingbao was full of fighting spirit at this time and did not notice the situation of the Xiliang Army. He kept urging the soldiers to come forward. In his opinion, the Yizhou Army had gained a complete advantage. Under the sneak attack, the Xiliang Army would definitely be in chaos.
One by one, they took the opportunity to charge and kill for a while, which was enough to defeat the Xiliang army's camp. They will make great achievements tonight.
In anger, Hua Xiong led a hundred cavalry on a rampage. The invading Yizhou Army's front troops were defeated steadily. Everyone was in danger. Seeing the cavalry coming, they all dodged left and right, hoping to avoid the deadly twists and turns in the hands of the cavalry.
knife.
The cavalry temporarily blocked the pace of the Yizhou Army. Li Meng gathered the soldiers together and followed the cavalry to take advantage of them. They were well-equipped and their quality far exceeded that of the Yizhou Army. The advantage that the Yizhou Army finally had was instantly wiped out.
.
There is a big gap between the cavalry of the Xiliang Army that he saw with his own eyes and what he heard. If you don’t fight with such an army, you will never understand how terrifying they are. Looking at the panicked soldiers of his own side, Lingbao suddenly understood why Xiliang
The military association has such a resounding reputation, which is all due to hard work with swords and guns. There is no moisture. The ability to win repeated battles on the battlefield does not rely on luck, but on true strength.
"What is an elite soldier?" Such a question suddenly flashed through Lingbao's mind. The Xiliang army in front of him could be called an elite soldier.
Under the impact of the cavalry, the infantry quickly killed the front of the Yizhou Army and fled in all directions.
"Retreat!" Lingbao left two hundred soldiers to resist the Xiliang army and retreated unwillingly. He suddenly felt that the Xiliang army was so terrifying.
After listening to General Lingbao's detailed account of the sneak attack, Yang Huai's expression turned solemn. He quietly put away his previous disdain for the Xiliang army and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to clear Wu Ban.
Wu Ban had fought against the Xiliang Army and understood some of the specific conditions of the Xiliang Army. In the past, because Wu Ban was the defeated general, he did not show enough attention.
"General Yang, to be honest, the Xiliang army only attacked the city for more than half an hour that day, but the city gate was occupied, and then the Xiliang army swarmed in..." Wu Ban looked embarrassed.
"General Wu, there is no need to blame yourself. The Xiliang army is world-famous, and its soldiers' weapons and siege equipment are among the best in the world. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists," Yang Huai advised.
Wu Ban glanced at Yang Huai in surprise. When he first came to Jiameng Pass, Yang Huai and Lingbao were not like this. They wished they could kick him as far away as possible.
"General Yang? Could it be that the Xiliang army has come for reinforcements?" Wu Ban asked.
"No, General Wu. At the third watch of the night, General Ling led two thousand soldiers out of the city to sneak attack the Xiliang Army. They defeated the Xiliang Army before it gained a stable foothold. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Xiliang Army and lost nearly 100,000 yuan.
Four hundred soldiers." Yang Huai sighed.
"This happened?" Wu Ban looked in disbelief. Yang Huai was a famous general in the Yizhou Army. He must have made complete preparations for the sneak attack on the Xiliang Army. Instead of being defeated, the Xiliang Army was overthrown.
Disadvantage, what an army this is.
"Could it be that the Xiliang army was prepared in advance?"
"Unlike, General Ling, you will tell General Wu the details of the war."
Later, General Lingbao carefully explained the details of the attack on Hua Xiong, and the three generals in the camp looked at each other.
Although last night's sneak attack successfully restored the disadvantage, nearly 200 soldiers were still killed or injured, which made Hua Xiong's face become very gloomy. He wished he could immediately lead his troops to attack the city. The newly established camp was burned to the ground, and even more so after
Hua Xiong was slapped hard in front of everyone.
"All soldiers must be alert and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." Hua Xiong said through gritted teeth.
Li Meng bowed and agreed. When Hua Xiong gets angry, the soldiers in the army will definitely be in trouble. This guy doesn't care about so much when he does things. No, he actually punished the soldiers in Jiameng Pass for running exercises. The people in the city watched.
The defenders were stunned.
After Zhuge Liang read the information in his hand three times, he gently placed it on the desk.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Zhang Fei said. From the time he went out to the army to now, Zhuge Liang always looked like he was in control of his wisdom.
"Wide and see for yourself," Zhuge Liang said.
"The Xiliang army captured Baishui Pass?" Zhang Fei said loudly in disbelief after seeing it.
"Yeah." Zhuge Liang nodded slowly.
"Sir, what about Hanzhong?" Zhang Fei said.
"Things in Hanzhong are not urgent. Zhang Lu did not understand current affairs and instead took refuge with the Xiliang army. The people of Hanzhong must have stabilized. Don't underestimate Zhang Lu's ability. Why did Liu Yan not attack Hanzhong when he was there?"
It is all because of Zhang Lu's identity as the leader that he has great prestige in Yizhou and has countless followers. Attacking Hanzhong is afraid of causing turmoil, so he has been holding back his troops for so many years. Otherwise, with Liu Yan's strength, there will be three
