  Chapter 1254 Attacking the Patio Pass

  In fact, the defenses at Tianjing Pass should be relatively tight.

  At least in terms of the various equipment used to guard the level, they are extremely well prepared.

  Because among the eight Xings of Taihang, three Xings go directly to Hanoi.

  They are Zhiguan Xing, Taihang Xing, and Baixing Xing respectively.

  Zhen Guanxing is from Hedong to Hanoi, Taihangxing and Baixing are from Shangdang to Hanoi.

  As long as one Xing is not guarded, then Hanoi will not be guaranteed.

  As Sima Yi's hometown in Hanoi, he naturally didn't want to see this situation unless he had to.

  Although Gaoducheng was in the hands of the Wei army before, Sima Yi knew that it would be difficult to stop the Han army just by defending the city.

  A certain Feng brought out too many good things from his own school.

   For example, stone cannons.

  Looking at the world, there are almost no cities that can withstand stone cannons!

   At most, it is the difference between being able to carry a few more days or a few days less.

  If it weren’t for the fact that the stone cannons used to siege the city are too huge, it is not easy to build, and it takes longer to prepare than other siege equipment, and it also has requirements on the terrain.

   I'm afraid Sima Yi thought it was a perfect siege weapon.

  So in his view, the Tianjing Pass behind Gaodu City is the key to preventing the Han army from entering Hanoi from Taihangxing.

   With this consideration in mind, it is natural for Tianjingguan to make adequate preparations.

  It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation.

   It’s still the same sentence, the danger of the pass lies in the people, not the terrain.

   Sima Division, who led the army for the first time, suffered two consecutive defeats at Gaoping Pass, and then Luoyang was in danger, forcing him to rush back for help.

  The defenders who stayed at Tianjing Pass were not only insufficient in number, but even their morale was panicked.

   Not to mention that the opponent is Feng Guiwang, who made many Wei army officers and soldiers turn pale when they heard about it.

  It would have been a long time if Sima Yi hadn't guarded Guanzhong and then managed Hanoi, Henan.

  I can be regarded as a man who knows the soldiers, and has already completed the control of the Wei army under his command.

   In addition, Wei Guo's military law has always been extremely harsh.

   Therefore, the guard at the gate of the courtyard had to bite the bullet and urged the soldiers under him to resist desperately.

   It's just morale. Although it can't be seen or touched, it can sometimes play a very critical role when the two armies are facing each other.

   Wei Jun, whose morale was low, occupied an extremely dangerous location.

   Moreover, the top of Tianjingguan City is also piled with wooden rolling stones.

  But in the face of the Han army who was trying to attack the pass, not to mention the rolling stones, even the arrow feathers shot down from above seemed a bit sparse.

  On weekdays, they can use a lot of strength, but many people are slow in their hands and feet at this time, and they can only use five or six points at most.

  Seeing that the Han army was about to attack the city gate, the gate guard couldn't help being shocked, angry and frightened.

  Although he himself didn't expect to be able to defend the courtyard, but what is the difference between the current situation and handing over?

  In the future, when the news reaches Luoyang, is it possible that my family members will be punished?

  But seeing him pull out his sword with a "clang", he stepped forward angrily, and chopped down the soldier who was shooting arrows mechanically towards the gate with his sword, and shouted loudly:

   "Those who dare to slack off in battle, beheaded!"

   Glaring at the surrounding Wei soldiers:

   "The Central Supervisory Army let us stay at Tianjing Pass, because they trust us, and it is time to serve the country!"

   "Even if you don't think about being punished after the defeat, don't you think about Luoyang's family?"

   "Han... Although there are many bandits, I have the danger of a favorable location, so why should I be afraid?"

   "If anyone dares to slack off and fear war again, he will be decisive! Kill, kill me! Kill the bandits and defend the pass city, and the Central Supervisory Army will have its own reward!"

   The guard shouted, put his sword back into its sheath, and personally lifted a rock and threw it towards the gate.

  The stone fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain.

  A Han army who was climbing up with his head down couldn't dodge and was hit straight.

  But seeing him and Shanshi, they just rolled down together.

   "See? That's it, hit me hard!"

   With the guard personally taking the lead, and the supervising team he brought over were watching, several people were executed on the spot.

  The soldiers of the Wei army who closed the gate finally began to cheer up a little.

  The Han army who easily reached the gate without paying many casualties was happily saying that there were not many thieves in the pass.

   Unexpectedly, the Wei army at the top of the city suddenly increased its strength. The Han army was caught off guard for a while, and immediately screamed and had to retreat in embarrassment.

   "Could there be an ambush?"

  Obviously they had already reached the city wall of Guancheng, but unexpectedly they were suddenly forced to retreat. Some people couldn't help being surprised.

"impossible!"

  Zhang held up his binoculars and stared at the movement in Guancheng, "Even if the thief has an ambush, it is impossible to ambush in Guancheng."

   They didn't ambush in so many dangerous places, but in Guancheng?

  Just to repel a wave of his own offensive?

   "Could it be that the thieves showed me a lie and deliberately seduced me?"

  Another possibility was raised.

  This time, Zhang did not immediately deny it.

  Because of this possibility, it is not impossible, and it is still very large.

   After all, Tianjing Pass is too dangerous. Even if soldiers approach the pass, it does not mean that it will be captured in a short while.

  The defenders can completely rely on danger to repel the enemy.

only…

   Zhang still felt that something was wrong.

  He is not leading the army for the first time like Sima Shi.

  As early as in Liangzhou, he followed his father Zhang Gong and uncle Zhang Hua to fight the chaos.

  I was even held hostage by thieves, facing the line of life and death.

   He was even dug and deceived by a ghost king.

  In addition, in the early years, he went to the Western Regions alone to persuade the kings and chiefs of the Western Regions.

  His experience can be said to be rich, and his knowledge is by no means comparable to that of Sima Shi, who just tried to get out of Sima Yi's wing at this time.

   There seems to be a reasonable explanation for shutting down the Wei thief defenders.

  But Zhang just subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

   Then after a little thought, I immediately thought of where there was a problem:

   "Soldiers of our army, how difficult is it to attack the city from the bottom of the mountain?"

   "If the bandit army had tried its best from the beginning, the casualties of the soldiers would only be greater. Why do they need to do so much? There must be something strange!"

   "Come here, give an order immediately, and continue to tackle key problems!"

   Gathered up the retreating soldiers, Zhang quickly sent another team to continue the attack.

  But he was slapped severely by reality.

  Guarding the pass, Wei will not hesitate to publicly execute the soldiers who are not effective in fighting, and forcibly supervise the Wei army.

  Wei Jun was afraid at this time and had to fight hard.

   This time the Han army's attack did not have the good luck of the last time.

  From the very beginning, it was strongly counterattacked by the Wei army.

  The arrows flew like locusts, and the rolling stones fell down one after another.

   But the screams of the soldiers of the Han army were heard again and again.

  Arrow Feather is lucky to say that if those wooden rolling stones are rubbed, there is a great possibility that they will lose arms and legs.

  No matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop the huge kinetic energy they carry.

  If it was more unlucky and was hit straight, it would be a pile of bones.

   "Damn! Thief, thief is extremely hateful!"

   Before waiting for the report from the front, Zhang Jiu's face changed drastically when he saw the scene through the binoculars, and then turned livid.

   Misjudgment, it is a trivial matter to lose face at the bottom.

  But not far behind him, there is the Central Guard watching!

  This thief Wei is simply trying to embarrass him on purpose.

   Feeling some pressure, Zhang Jiu couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

   This made him doubt his previous judgment:

   Could it be that I really guessed wrong? The reason why the thief came forward is to lure the enemy?

  He didn't know, Feng Duhu, who was also holding up his binoculars to observe the battle, also frowned.

  The Wei thief's reaction, why does it look like a corpse?

   There will be little resistance for a while, and there will be no ground for a while.

  At this time, Feng Duhu was no longer the inexperienced young man who led the army for the first time.

   Instead, he can already be regarded as a true veteran of the battlefield.

  At this time, he didn't care too much about whether he could capture Tianjing Pass.

  So I can think about Wei Jun's abnormal behavior with a more peaceful and relaxed mind.

  As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

   As for whether it is a good demon or a bad demon, it will not be determined for a while - on this point, Feng Duhu is much calmer than Zhang who is in the middle of the battle.

   After all, the advantage is mine.

   "Yuan Kai?"

   "Sir, the disciple is here."

  Du Yu quickly stepped forward two steps, bowed his hands and saluted, "What is your order, sir?"

  Feng Duhu pointed to the Tianjingguan in front of him, and asked, "Did you see what happened just now?"

  As Feng Duhu's direct disciple, Du Yu naturally had some special treatment, and he also had a pair of binoculars in his hand.

   "Mr. Hui, the disciple saw it."

  Feng Duhu turned his head, glanced at him, and said:

   "You once mentioned that as long as Sima Shi loses one more game, the big man can take advantage of the momentum of victory and take the opportunity to attack Tianjing Pass."

   "Then do you think, with the performance of the bandit army just now, can we really capture the pass this time?"

  Du Yu pondered for a moment, then replied:

   "Mr. Hui, the students are dull, and really can't see what the thief army's actions are for."

   "However, the students still believe that the Tianjing Pass will definitely pass."

   "Oh?" Feng Duhu raised his voice, "Why?"

   "Because there are not enough defenders."

  Du Yu pointed to Guancheng, "According to what the students have seen, there are not many bandit troops in Guancheng."

   "Even if the student made a wrong judgment earlier, the bandit army has been defeated repeatedly but still has the courage to defend the Tianjing Pass, but under Mr.'s plan, the Tianjing Pass is already in Mr.'s pocket."

  Feng Duhu couldn't help but smile on his face when he said these words:

   "Let's talk about things well, don't flatter them indiscriminately. Why do you think that the guards in Guancheng are insufficient?"

   "Sir, is this testing me?"

  Du Yu was not afraid when he heard Feng Duhu's half-smiling and half-cursing words, but pointed to the mountain pass around Tianjing Pass:

   "It's the so-called isolated city that can't be defended. Although the terrain of Tianjingguan is dangerous, we must pay attention to the surrounding terrain in order to play a role."

   "For example, if there are more Wubao stockades on both sides of Guancheng, the canines and teeth intertwined, echoing each other, and forming horns, this side can be described as a natural and difficult place to attack."

   "Nowadays, the thieves abandon the surrounding hills and passes, and only care about guarding the pass city. How is this different from guarding an isolated city?"

   "According to the students, this is not because the Wei thieves didn't know how to guard the pass, but a helpless move due to insufficient troops. Therefore, the students think that this pass must be able to pass."

  Although he knew that Du Yu was a genius, Feng Duhu still showed approval when he heard his speech.

  Before he could say the words of praise, Du Yu said with admiration again:

   "The student made a fool of himself in front of his master before, but he thought he had a plan, but he really didn't expect that the Wei thief would still have the courage to defend the pass after two consecutive defeats."

   "It's still Mr. who is thoughtful and well-planned. Not only will he defeat Sima Division, but he will also try to mobilize the bandit army so that they will have no intention of guarding the gate and no strength to guard the gate."

  Feng Duhu was slightly taken aback: "Mobilize the bandit army?"

   "Mr., are you testing me again? Mister sent Hubu and Wuwei Second Army to attack Luoyang, so that Sima Division could only hastily return to Luoyang, unable to defend Tianjing Pass."

  The expression of admiration on Du Yu's face became even stronger: "This can be said to cause the enemy instead of restraining the enemy?"

   "Oh, so that's what you said."

  Feng Duhu shook his head and said with a smile: "I sent General Zhang to lead the Wuwei Army and asked him to try to sneak across Maojindu. The original intention was to cooperate with the Tiger Army to take Hangu Pass and Shaanxi."

   "In the original plan, I really didn't expect to force Sima Shi to return to Luoyang, which gave us a good chance to win the Tianjing Pass."

   "So you don't need to be so arrogant. It is said that the plan is not as fast as the change. No matter how good the plan is, there may be unexpected situations."

   "I'm not omniscient, so it's impossible for me to make the plan perfect. I also take it step by step and constantly revise the plan according to the situation before the battle."

  With Feng Duhu's current status, there is no need to pretend to be mysterious to decorate himself.

  Du Yu said without hesitation:

   "As long as you can make a better plan than the thieves, then you have more chances of winning than the thieves. If you are prepared, you will win if you are unprepared. Mister is considered to have no mistakes."

"Hahaha!"

  Although he knew that his student was flattering, Feng Duhu couldn't help laughing out loud.

  He pointed at Du Yu, "You, you!"

   "Well, since you said so, I will give you a chance."

   "I sent you to study with General Zhang and help General Zhang capture Guancheng, how about it?"

  Du Yu was overjoyed, and quickly thanked: "My disciple, thank you sir."

  Feng Duhu waved his hand: "Go."

   "Here!"

   It’s just a patio pass used by the Wuqian Army to practice combat. By the way, it doesn’t matter if I add another disciple of my own to practice.

  Anyway, the road to Luoyang has almost been opened, and the three routes to Hanoi have become less urgent for Feng Duhu.

  On the second day, Du Yu excitedly ran to work for Zhang Jiu as a temporary staff officer. Seeing that the soldiers who had tackled key problems retreated again, Zhang Jiu's expression turned ugly.

  He finally took the opportunity to speak:

   "General Zhang, according to the foreseeable situation, the mountain road directly in front of Tianjingguan is difficult to pass, and blindly attacking is not the way."

   "If we divide our forces, we should first take the dangerous left and right wings of the pass city to create a threat, and then find a way to attack the pass city. What do you think, the general?"

  Although Zhongduhu said, let yourself attack the city.

  But how could Zhang Jiu not know that the longer this time dragged on, the worse his performance would be in Zhongdu Hu's eyes.

   It’s just that in the face of such a dangerous pass, as long as the thieves who pass the pass have the upper hand, if they offer the pass and surrender, how can they attack it in a short while?

   While he was anxious, Zhang Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard what Du Yu said.

  I saw him slap his thigh: "Hey! I have been patronizing for the past two days..."

   In the middle of speaking, he didn't finish, and turned to Du Yu and said:

   "Du Langjun, thank you for your reminder!"

  In the past two days, I have been preoccupied with how to capture Guancheng as soon as possible, in order to show myself in front of the Central Guard.

  But he didn't expect that he had already made a serious mistake.

  Du Yu smiled shyly.
