Chapter 469

It's hard to get to the blue sky.

Yizhou is a mountainous and mountainous terrain. It is difficult to have a foothold in the mountains. Many mountains have created many valleys. Even the local people do not know which Valley Road can travel smoothly and which Valley Road will be blocked.

The mountain is a rocky mountain. Many of the stones of the mountain are naked 1 exposed on the soil. Some of the stones even look big and strange. It's more like a giant stone that will fall down the mountain when touched a little. However, no matter how you touch the giant stone, you can't fall down.

In fact, the road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong is relatively easy. The Han Army led by Huan Wen planned to take the old road opened up in the Qin Dynasty, one way is the Lianyun plank road, the other is the praise ramp.

Lianyun plank road was established during the period when King Huiwen of Qin Dynasty, surnamed Ying, Zhao and Si attacked Shu. At that time, Prime Minister Zhang Yi and Qin Army General Sima CuO led the Qin army to go south from Lianyun plank road, enter Hanzhong first, and then attack Shu.

The commendation ramp existed in the early stage. During the period of King Huiwen of Qin Dynasty, it was expanded and repaired to a certain extent. The host was Zhang Yi, the Prime Minister of the state of Qin at that time. A more famous thing happened later, that is, fan Sui entered the Qin Dynasty and took the commendation ramp. Later, fan Sui had the right to process the commendation ramp as soon as he was capricious.

Whether it's Lianyun plank road or Baoxie Road, in fact, it was burned in the period of the struggle between Chu and Han. The background story can be found in "Liu Bang burning plank road", which was not built until Liu Bang came out of Sichuan, or in the story of "building plank road in an open way and hiding the old warehouse".

After Liu Bang successfully left Sichuan, in order to connect Shudi, Badi, Hanzhong and Guanzhong, he did not neglect the maintenance of several plank roads. Until the Western Jin Dynasty, the plank roads could still be used. For example, Li's Chenghan and Yang's qiuchila people also borrowed several plank roads to move the population from Guanzhong.

The two Han armies set out in the drizzle. The whole army was dressed in coir raincoats and hats. The figure of soldiers continued from one end of the mountain to the other end of several unknown mountains. They had to stop to repair where the plank road was broken along the way. The marching speed was not fast.

Many sections of the plank road depend on cliffs, and there are many rivers and streams during the period. If you accidentally fall off the cliff or into the running water, it is impossible to drive the carriage because of the narrow relationship, and the baggage is carried by people and livestock.

The marching speed of the two Han armies was not fast. After walking for more than 20 days, the forwards of the two sides met at the intersection of the plank road. They faced Li's Chenghan Garrison who had long made a defensive posture.

The first sticking point of Li's Chenghan is at the intersection of Lianyun plank road and Baoxie road. In fact, the plank road here is no longer a cliff or near a river or stream. It directly enters the valley from a high place. There are green dense jungles on both sides. The valley is narrow and the slope of the mountain is very high. It is indeed a good node to stick to.

The Han Army that had just arrived was about 4000. At first glance, they saw a stone built Guancheng, which should be about two feet high. Judging by the color of the stone, Guancheng should be built soon. The flags of Li's Chenghan were flying on the head of the city, and there were dense soldiers standing. In their ears, they heard the sound of trembling horns blowing trumpets.

The width of the valley is limited, and the number of people standing side by side is difficult to exceed 100, that is to say, the road can only allow no more than 100 people to rush up side by side at a time.

It is not only narrow, but also the ground looks uneven. Many large and small stones and fine stones are stacked on the road. It is not generally difficult to form a tight formation.

The Han troops who had just come down the plank road looked very tired. They stopped far away. They should eat dry food and drink water. The swallowing sound and "grunting" of drinking water at the scene were very frequent, and there must be the knocking sound of armor, shield and weapons.

The garrison standing above Guancheng seems to be very busy. A large number of taxis come and go to move logs and stones. Standing next to the women's wall are three columns of archers.

Behind the city gate, there were too many shouts and responses, which made it sound very chaotic. The soldiers gathered together and whispered. Too many voices became a collection of "buzzing".

"Finally." Yang Xu is the city captain of Li Chenghan, who has long been informed that Han troops will come. From the moment he receives the news, he is highly prepared for war all the time. Standing in Guancheng, he pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist with one hand and the female wall made of stone with the other hand. He looked at the Han Army in the distance and said to his deputy general, "strictly guard against death and don't make a Han soldier climb up the city!"

There are two thousand garrisons of Li Chenghan in the nameless pass city. The reason why it is an nameless pass city is that there is more than one. There are more than ten pass cities piled up with stones behind, but they are located in different places.

A bleak horn sounded suddenly, so loud that it could ring back and forth in the valley.

The Han Army had its own action. I don't know how many Han soldiers scattered into the mountains and forests. After a little while, you can see the trees falling down.

The plank road is narrow and difficult to pass. Naturally, it is impossible to carry siege equipment, even ladders and other things. You can only build it when you are on the ground.

I don't know how long later, there was another trumpet sound. The finished climbing ladder was taken to the front by the Han soldiers. Before the Li Chenghan soldiers on the side of Guancheng could see how many there were, some Han soldiers with big shields began to line up. They shouted something, and the heavy footsteps began to ring out neatly.

"Tower Shield soldiers open the way, and strong crossbow soldiers follow." Liu Rui was born in the Ran's Qin army. Before he was incorporated, he was a partial general. After becoming a Han Army, he worked as a military Hou. After Chaoge World War I, he was promoted to a school captain and was responsible for presiding over the forward battle. The corners of his mouth hooked up to form a cruel smile and said, "when attacking the city, the strong crossbow diffused to the top, first smashing the morale of the garrison."

The sound of heavy footsteps has been approaching Guancheng. It is not marching side by side. It is affected by the stones on the road. When they got close to Guancheng, they stopped about 180 steps away. There was a loud bang behind them. Then there was the sound of continuous banging of bow strings. One crossbow and arrow broke away from the powerful crossbow and fell through a leap in the air.

Above the pass, because the Han army was not close to the range of bow and arrow shooting, Li Chenghan's garrison was in a state of drawing a bow and not firing an arrow. They were waiting with breath. What they were waiting for was not a rush of the Han Army to attack the city. It was a dense roar of crossbows and arrows that fell sharply. In an instant, there were endless screams of ups and downs.

It is difficult to get in and out of Shu. Li's Chenghan has a natural defensive advantage. Most troops live in Shu all year round and have no experience in fighting with foreign enemies. It is clear that they do not know enough about the newly rising Han army. When arranging defense, they inevitably take traditional ideas and ignore the strong crossbow of the Han army.

One wave after another, about a thousand powerful crossbows were fired at the same time. One time, it was covered by a thousand crossbows and arrows. Soon, the place where the crossbows and arrows could be used as the force point on the other side of the city was densely inserted. Under and inside the city pass were filled with crossbows and arrows. It was necessary that the dead defenders' bodies were all over the ground, The undead garrison is either hiding or running around.

"Why is it so much worse than Zhao Jun?" Liu Rui is not proud and charming. He looks at the Li's Chenghan soldier who runs around and is shot over again with disdain and says, "Zhao Jun at least knows that running around under the dense arrow array will have no life."

Li Chenghan's soldiers actually knew that running around would kill them. What people think in panic is one thing, and what the body will do is another. That is the main reason why people clearly want to move but can't move when they are frightened. They just can't help running and running, and they have to shout in horror. It's worse than death to not do so.

The arrow array coverage of the Han Army lasted about two quarters of an hour. There was no standing figure on the pass city, and the archery did not stop. It was the Tower Shield soldiers who continued to move forward. The strong crossbow soldiers pushed forward and fired at the same time, but also gave a certain space to both sides, so that the paoze carrying the ladder could move forward.

The newly built climbing ladders are still very wet. They are tied with ropes, and some branches and leaves are not even cleaned.

With the cooperation of several people, one ladder after another was lifted and smashed heavily on the city wall. Then he watched the flexible and light Han soldiers begin to climb. Even the strong crossbow soldiers who were already climbing in the rear did not stop firing crossbows, but the shooting range was to cross the city and back, much like a gradual coverage of artillery, mainly to interfere with and block the enemy in the rear.

Xiaodouzi should be the first to successfully climb the city. He bit the back of the war knife with his teeth, and then jumped onto the women's wall with his hands clasped on the stone wall. When he just stood firm, he saw an enemy soldier hiding behind the women's wall. When he jumped off the women's wall, he had picked up the war knife that had been bitten on his mouth with his hands in mid air. After landing, he didn't even think of chopping it.

Li Chenghan's garrison, whose body shrank into a regiment, of course saw the Han sergeant's death in the city. He widened his eyes. His eyes were full of panic. He watched the young Han's death jump up, land and wave his knife. There was a blood color in his eyes, and then fell into darkness forever.

Xiaodou didn't pity the enemy soldiers who were stunned and killed. On the battlefield, you killed me and I killed you. Either you or I died. When you went to the battlefield and charged, you didn't need to have other ideas. Anyway, you tried your best to kill people who were different from yourself. Too many thoughts were looking for death.

Li's Chenghan garrison hiding behind the women's wall is not small. People squeeze people, so they shrink into a pile. The Han soldiers who climb the city do not hesitate to wave a knife after seeing it. There will be no pity or kindness.

Liu Rui looked at the first battle of invading Li's Chenghan, which seemed to be much easier than he thought before?

The city gate collapsed with a loud noise, followed by Han soldiers who rushed into the city gate cave. Soon, fierce shouts of killing appeared in the city.

On the wall, the flags belonging to Li's Chenghan Dynasty were cut off one after another and replaced with Han Army flags. The red characters on a black background wrote an official script of "Han". The flag surface was fluttering in the wind.

Yang Xu retreated to the rear at the first time. Now he is standing on the hillside on the side of the valley. He is a little stunned and looks at the direction of Guancheng incomprehensibly. There are blue taxis being submerged by red and black taxis.

"No..." Yang Xu could find his voice very dry: "when fighting barbarians, can't he fight very well?"

Li Chenghan is a di regime. Their geographical location determines one thing. There will be more battles with Nanman than in the Central Plains. When Li Chenghan is cleaning up Nanman, it is actually very easy to fight head-on. He is afraid that Nanman relies on complex mountains to fight guerrillas.

About 60% of Li's Chenghan soldiers who firmly guarded this pass should be transferred from the Nanman battlefield in the rear to the north. In Yang Xu's eyes, the troops who can recruit and be good at fighting are so vulnerable to the Han Army that their brains are blank.

It must be said that Nanman is not pure contempt, but some savage tribes covered with grass leaves, holding either pure sticks or sharp stones. Apart from a few leaders, there are no metal weapons at all.

Li Chenghan was more or less a member of a civilized society. He was organized, organized and dominant in weapons. He fought head-on against the unorganized, undisciplined and barbarian Nanman. It seems natural that he won more and lost less?

Now Li's strong army into the Han Dynasty meets another Han army with better organization and discipline and more perfect weapons and armor. It's like that the roles have been changed, and it's natural to be taught how to be a man.

Yang Xu soon faced up to the gap between the two sides. He didn't bite his teeth to defend Guancheng, let alone make a counterattack. He saved his troops as much as possible and let the troops withdraw.

The panicked Li family became Han soldiers. They had fled before they got the order. They were caught by the Han Army and killed all the way. Until the battlefield reached the edge of the stronghold, the Han Army had to retreat.

Guancheng changed hands faster than anyone thought, but it was not over. The Han army who captured Guancheng immediately found that there were mountain strongholds on both sides of the valley.

It's a cottage. It's built on the hillside. What you can go up is a winding and narrow path. The inclination doesn't look good to climb.

The Han army made a tentative test, and only a little closer to the stronghold, there were dense arrows.

The mountain stronghold has a high advantage. With a high degree, you can master the range advantage of bows and arrows. The mountain stronghold on both sides can take the advantage and use bows and arrows to block the valley. Even if the Han Army has a strong crossbow, it must enter the range of the garrison to fight back.

"The trail can't form a shield array to advance..." Liu Rui tried to observe the terrain. After observing it, he felt that the defenders here were very smart. He gave up when he saw that the city was not guarded enough, saved more soldiers and retreated to the stronghold. He ordered the scouts, "check if there are any other roads to attack the stronghold."

The scouts naturally took orders.

At this time, the weather is not beautiful. It was still sunny just now, but in the twinkling of an eye, it was cloudy. The first drop of rain fell, and the next moment it was pouring rain
