Chapter 1718: Fighting in the pass, then heading to Guyang Pass
The entire grain transport team moved forward slowly, and there were even many soldiers guarding the pass laughing and talking to them. However, at this moment, at the position of the camp in the center of the pass, a command arrow suddenly shot with a sharp edge.
The sound soared into the sky.
The soldiers guarding the gate subconsciously looked up, but they never noticed that the food transport team so close to them suddenly transformed from slovenly common people into murderous gods.
Almost instantly, the strong men who were originally transporting grain fled in all directions, directly scattering the soldiers guarding the pass. However, the soldiers under Bi Zaiyu and Zhong Yan gathered together, one after another transporting grain vehicles.
It was opened, and there were all kinds of weapons on it, and some even had soldiers wearing armor and holding guns under the thatch.
Brush! Brush! Brush!
They didn't shout or even shout any slogans. They were all led by their generals to kill the nearest soldiers guarding the gate.
It wasn't until screams were heard that the soldiers guarding the gate knew what was happening.
However, not only did they miss the opportunity, but the original queue had already been dispersed by the strong men transporting food. Even if they wanted to find their superiors or colleagues, they couldn't do it. They rushed in one direction in confusion, but were stopped by them.
The long knife stuck out from nowhere and killed him directly.
The whole fighting process went more smoothly than Bi Zaiyu imagined. The hundreds of soldiers guarding the gates in the north and south did not put up much resistance at all, but they were all killed. Only the soldiers on the wall and the main camp were killed.
The soldiers inside were not affected.
According to Bi Zaiyu's previous orders, the soldiers and horses of each unit led their men to defend their positions, while Bi Zaiyu led his soldiers and horses directly towards the central camp to kill.
The soldiers and horses in the camp reacted, and when there were generals who gathered their troops and rushed towards the camp gate, Bi Zaizai did not retreat, but went straight to meet them.
There were two to three thousand soldiers and horses in the Chinese army's camp, which was more than double the number of soldiers and horses under Bi Zaiyu's command, and the other side also had a large number of cavalry.
But even if this is the case, Bi Zaiyu cannot dodge or even be on the defensive.
The camp is not the exit. He must entangle as many of the opponent's troops as possible, so that he can share enough pressure with other troops and delay the arrival of Zhong Yan's troops.
Fortunately, Bi Zaiyu was not unprepared. He knew that the battle here would be the most brutal, so the soldiers under his command were all armored men, and they were also selected capable men. They fought with the camp gate as the center, so that
The opponent's advantage in military strength is reduced to a minimum.
Those who were originally defensive against foreign enemies have now become obstacles to the other side.
A few miles away from the pass, Zhong Yan stared straight ahead. When the arrow flew into the air, he immediately shouted, "Tang Li, lead the two thousand vanguard troops and kill them as quickly as possible!"
"The rest of the soldiers and horses will be killed by me!"
Tang Li had already prepared, and before Zhong Yan finished speaking, his two thousand soldiers and horses rushed out first, heading straight for the pass!
When he arrived at the front of the pass, he saw that the gate of the pass was wide open, and there were shouts of killing coming from everywhere.
"kill!"
Tang Li took the lead and rushed into the pass. Before he could speak, Yu Wenbin, who was guarding the door, shouted loudly, "General Tang, don't pay attention to us here and continue to move forward to meet General Bi Zaiyu!"
Tang Li took a moment to look at it, then led his men to continue rushing forward.
Although the fighting here was fierce, Yu Wenbin and others were able to hold on in a short period of time, and it only took a moment for Zhong Yan's troops to arrive from behind.
"General Bi, the end is coming!"
When Bi Zai saw Tang Li coming with his troops and horses, he immediately picked and killed an enemy soldier, and then laughed and said, "Leave a thousand troops and horses for me, and you can lead the remaining thousand troops to the exit of the pass.
Once the door is closed and the dog is beaten, no one can escape."
Tang Li ordered a thousand soldiers to be left behind by Bi Zaiyu, and then he led his troops and ran forward.
With the arrival of these thousand soldiers and horses, Bi Zaiyu immediately stabilized the situation, and the party soldiers and horses who were about to rush out were directly blocked back.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhong Yan led the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses into the pass. First, he directly forcibly built the city wall, cleaned up all the party soldiers and horses at the entrance, and then closed the pass gate and dispatched
A thousand soldiers were temporarily stationed here, and he led his army to join Bi Zaiyu.
Originally, the party troops and horses here in the Chinese army camp did not have much advantage, but the arrival of Zhong Yan's troops made them lose their last hope.
The entire battle lasted for nearly two hours. In the end, more than half of the five thousand defenders were killed or wounded, and the rest were all imprisoned and became prisoners.
The number of soldiers and horses injured by Bi Zaiyu and Zhong Yan was not that many, but the bones of more than a thousand people were buried here! Including the people who were transporting food, although they fled in all directions, there were not many casualties, only about one or two thousand.
The party troops and horses fighting in chaos had no time to pay attention to these strong men, and after they dispersed, they immediately found a hiding place.
This is almost instinctive for them.
"General Zhong, Ku Laosi and Xue Tuo are already waiting outside the pass with a thousand soldiers and horses and a team of five thousand grain transporters. You can go and join them now."
Bi Zaiyu said to Zhong Yan who came up to meet him.
Zhong Yan immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this place to General Bi!"
"Don't worry, you leave me three thousand troops and horses. I have closed the front and rear doors. Even if something unexpected happens, you will have enough time to deal with it. You can take all the remaining troops and horses with you."
After taking this pass, there is only one Guyang Pass left! And in order not to arouse the opponent's alert, they must fake the Guyang Pass in a very short period of time.
Otherwise, their method will be ineffective.
But if you want to storm such a pass, you don't know how much effort it will take and how many soldiers and horses will be damaged to do it.
Zhong Yan was not polite, he bowed his hand to Bi Zaiyu, and then led his troops away.
Bi Zaiyu, on the other hand, dispatched other soldiers to directly close the front and rear portals. As long as the portals are closed, even if the enemy's soldiers and horses come, they will not be able to enter in a short time.
In addition, the chaotic grain transport team was reorganized and asked to wait.
For these strong men, it doesn't make any difference who they follow.
Even if they follow the soldiers and horses of their own country, life and death are not under their control, so they have no sense of belonging to anyone.
Precisely because of this, they had no intention of resisting Bi Zaiyu's order.
Those captured party soldiers and horses were directly imprisoned in the camp. After collecting their armor and weapons, they were tied up with ropes and guarded by soldiers and horses. The generals among them were taken out and detained in isolation. In this way, think about it
