The pottery merchant's advance was very fast. After a group of troops came down from Motian Ridge, they quickly headed for Fushui Pass.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei climbed up to the gate tower and looked out, only to see a group of enemy soldiers cutting down trees and tying them with grass in order to build high ladders and prepare to climb the top of the city.
Although Fushui Pass is an important barrier to the north of Chengdu, the majesty of the pass is far behind that of Jiange and Yangping Pass.
It's no wonder that this place is neither a frontline nor an important checkpoint. Geographically speaking, it can only be regarded as a traffic artery before entering Chengdu. In the past, no outsider has ever conquered Jiange and come here.
Therefore, there are not many people to repair this place.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei were also caught off guard because of this.
Seeing the enemy troops in full swing under the city, building siege ladders and rushing chariots, Gao Pei couldn't help but said in surprise: "Here, where do these soldiers and horses come from? Could it be that there are no soldiers from heaven? General Yang, we must call it quits immediately.
Send someone to Jiange and ask Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to send troops back for rescue."
Yang Huai stared closely at the soldiers below and said, "Don't worry, General Gao, just wait and see."
After saying that, Yang Huai pointed at the soldiers under the city and said: "General Gao, look, those soldiers are all dirty and unkempt, and they don't have war horses. They don't look like elite divisions. They are clearly
Just a bunch of beggars!”
Gao Pei blinked and looked over carefully.
It's really not Yang Huai's nonsense. Looking at it this way, it seems that it is really what happened.
"Here, this group of people doesn't seem to be very good. Looking at their cowardly appearance, their combat power is very low."
Yang Huaiyin nodded with a smile and said: "The most important thing is that they don't have horses yet. We still have a cavalry in the city. If we charge out, these weak troops will be defeated in one blow!"
Gao Pei was shocked when he heard this and said: "Don't you plan to inform Zhang Ren to attack by yourself?"
Yang Huai rolled his eyes: "That's natural. Why should such careless people and scabies be in a hurry? If we let Zhang Ren know later, wouldn't we laugh at our incompetence? Wouldn't it just add to the laughing stock?"
Gao Pei seemed to hesitate: "But what if something happens."
Yang Huai pointed at the city with his hand: "General Gao, take a look at these weak soldiers for yourself. Tell me, what else can happen?"
Gao Pei thought for a moment and said: "That's true...but..."
Yang Huai was obviously not willing to continue to quarrel with him: "If you are worried, then stay in the pass by yourself. I will lead my troops to kill the enemy. But when I turn around and get the credit, you can't share any of it."
After that, he turned around and left.
Gao Pei blushed when Yang Huai said it. At this moment, if he retreated again, he would probably be looked down upon by Yang Huai.
He thought he was a famous general after all, so how could he make such a mistake?
In this way, the two generals guarding Fushui Pass led the cavalry and elite infantry to rush out of the pass.
Those Jinling troops obviously did not expect that the people from Fushui Pass would suddenly rush out. In panic, they had to abandon the siege equipment they were making and fled towards the rear as if they were dying.
Yang Huai easily disarmed the weapons and couldn't help laughing.
"General Gao, what do you think? What I said is right, they are just some rats."
Gao Pei had finally come to his senses at this time. He smiled shamefully and said, "General Yang still sees things profoundly and thoroughly!"
Yang Huai laughed loudly, clamped the horse's belly hard, and then galloped straight into the distance to kill.
Not long after, I saw those Jinling soldiers rushing into a sloping path, with dense forests on both sides of the path.
Yang Huai and other leading cavalrymen followed closely, regardless of others.
Suddenly, I saw thick ropes on the path being straightened by the soldiers hiding on both sides, and Yang Huai and others were quickly thrown off their horses.
But it was the ropes that had been used by the Jinling Army to cross the mountains that came in handy.
Gao Pei, who was in the rear, was frightened when he saw this. He hurriedly pulled the reins of his horses and ordered the cavalry to stop.
But it's not that easy. Many cavalrymen were unable to rein in their horses and rushed forward. However, they trampled alive the fallen horses and their colleagues. For a time, cries resounded throughout the dense forest.
On both sides of the official road, the Jinling soldiers who had been ambushed for a long time came out with a roar, while the soldiers who were fleeing in front also turned around and fought back.
Gao Fei gritted his teeth, but he could barely keep his composure when he saw that these soldiers were all shabby-looking, with shabby clothes and armor, and looked very easy to deal with.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! They are all a group of defeated soldiers. Kill them all!"
The two sides fought hand to hand, and soon the Shu army was completely suppressed by the Jinling army.
Although those soldiers were in an extremely embarrassed state and looked miserable after traveling through mountains and ridges for a period of time, they were all Danyang's elite soldiers who were famous all over the world.
Soldiers should not be judged by appearance. Even among the extremely powerful Jinling Army, Danyang's elite soldiers can be regarded as an outstanding superior force. How can they be defeated in a fight with the Shu Army at Fushui Pass?
Soon, the Shu army's forward and retreat routes were cut off, and Danyang's elite soldiers formed a fan shape and compressed towards them.
After Gao Pei commanded his soldiers and horses to fight for a while, he realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly turned his horse's head and wanted to escape.
But at this moment, Xu Chu and Ma Chao, who were on foot, had already surrounded him in a fan-shaped formation, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Where are the enemy generals? Leave your head before leaving!" Xu Chu shouted at Gao Pei loudly.
Gao Pei didn't pay attention to these two people fighting on foot at all. He clamped the horse's belly hard, galloped the horse and jumped directly over the heads of Xu Chu and Ma Chao.
It's just a pity that there is another person not far away.
Huang Zhong bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow. The moment the horse jumped, it knocked over Gao Pei's horse.
But he saw the war horse falling straight to the ground from mid-air.
Ma Chao stepped forward and stepped on Gao Pei, who had fallen into the dust from mid-air, and spat fiercely: "You can still fly? A prancing horse passed over my head? How arrogant! I will make you scream..."
After saying that, as if he was not relieved, he kicked Gao Pei several times.
On the other side, Yang Huai, who was knocked down by the rope, stood up carefully, almost wanting to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
But a heavy Fang Tian painted halberd was stuck on the ground in front of him.
Yang Huai raised his head in fear, and what he saw was Lu Bu's face.
"I, I am willing to surrender, don't kill me!" Yang Huai shouted loudly.
…
Danyang's elite soldiers were like gods descending to earth, occupying Fushui Pass with lightning speed.
The news spread to such an extent that all the civil and military officials in Chengdu, led by Liu Zhang, were dumbfounded.
Looking at the scout who reported to him in disbelief, Liu Zhang said blankly: "Fushui Pass...is lost?"
The scout nodded affirmatively and said: "Back to my lord, it's lost!"
Liu Zhang rolled his eyes and fainted.
The civil and military officials on both sides suddenly became anxious and rushed forward. They pinched people and slapped their ears, and finally Liu Zhang woke up.
After regaining consciousness, Liu Zhang's first reaction was to cry loudly: "Save me!"
