Sweep the World

Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to climb to the sky.

Yizhou is a mountainous terrain, and there is no place to stand on the mountains everywhere. Many mountains have created many valleys. Even the locals don’t know which valley road can go smoothly and which valley road will be blocked.

The mountains are stony mountains. Many of the mountains’ rocks are exposed on the soil. Some of the rocks are very big and strange in shape. Some of them seem to be boulders that fall off the mountain with the touch of a touch. But no matter how you touch the boulders, Can't fall.

The road from Guanzhong to Guanzhong is actually a bit easier. The plan of the Han army led by Huan Wen was to take the old road opened in the Qin Dynasty, along the Lianyun plank road, and the Bao ramp road on the other.

The Lianyun Plank Road was established during the period of Qin Huiwen Wang Ying, Zhao's, and Ming Si. At that time, the prime minister of the State of Qin Zhang Yi and Qin Army General Sima Cuo led the Qin army from the Lianyun Plank Road to the south, first entering Han Dynasty and then attacking Shu.

Baoxie Road existed in the early days, and it was expanded and repaired during the period of King Huiwen of Qin. The host was Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin State at that time, and a more famous thing happened later, that is, Baoxie went to Qin by Fan Sui. After that, Fan Sui had the right to process the Bao Chute specially for his willfulness.

Whether it is the Lianyun plank road or the Baoxie road, in fact it was burned during the period of the Chu and Han conflicts. The background story can be found in the "Liu Bang Burning Plank Road". Relevant information can be found in the story of "Mingxiu plank road darkly Chencang".

After Liu Bang successfully left Sichuan, in order to connect Shudi, Badi, Hanzhong and Guanzhong, he did not abandon the maintenance of several plank roads. The plank roads were still usable until the Western Jin Dynasty, such as Li's Cheng Han and Yang's enemies. The establishment of the Chila people also borrowed several plank roads to migrate population from Guanzhong.

The two groups of Han troops set off in the drizzle. The whole army was wearing quilts and hats. The figures of the soldiers stretched from one end of the mountain to the other end where several mountains were unknown. The place where the plank road broke along the way was still there. It has to be stopped and repaired, the marching speed is not fast.

Many sections of the plank road rely on cliffs. During this period, there are many rivers and streams. A little carelessness either falls off the cliff or falls into the running water. Because of the narrow relationship in the past, it was naturally impossible to drive the carriage. The luggage was carried by people. Livestock camel.

The marching speed of the two Han forces was not fast. After more than 20 days, the forwards of the two sides met at the intersection of the plank road. They faced the Li's Cheng Han defenders who had already taken a defensive posture.

The first point of Li's Cheng Han was at the intersection of Lianyun Plank Road and Baoxie Road. The plank road here is actually no longer a cliff or near a river or stream. It enters the valley directly from a high place. On both sides are lush green jungles. The valley looks narrow and the mountain looks very steep. It is indeed a A good node to stick to.

The Han army that has just arrived has about 4,000. What they saw at a glance was a Guancheng made of stones. The height should be about two feet. Seeing the color of the stone, Guancheng should have been built not long ago. Above it was the flag of Li's Chenghan, and there were densely packed soldiers standing, and what I heard in my ears was the sound of trembling horns blowing.

The width of the valley is limited, and it is difficult for the number of people standing side by side to exceed one hundred, so that means that the road only allows no more than one hundred people to charge side by side at a time.

Not only does it appear narrow, the ground is also uneven, and many large and small stones and fine stones are piled up on the road. It is not so difficult to form a tight formation.

The Han soldiers who had just come down from the plank road looked very tired. They stopped from a distance. They should eat dry food and drink water. The swallowing and the "grumbling" of drinking water were frequent. They must have armor and shields. , The knock of weapons.

The defenders standing above the city seemed to be very busy. A large number of soldiers moved back and forth with wood and stones. Standing on the side of the female wall were three columnar archers.

Behind the city gate, too many shouts and responses made it sound messy. The soldiers gathered in a pile and they were whispering. If they listened to too many voices, they became a collection of "buzzing".

"Finally here." Yang Xu was Li Chenghan's city lieutenant. He had long been notified that the Han army would come, and he had been highly prepared for battle from the moment he received the news. He stood in Guancheng, pressing the hilt around his waist with one hand and the female wall made of stone with the other. He looked at the Han army in the distance, and said to his lieutenant: "Be careful not to let a soldier climb. Go to the top of the city!"

There are two thousand defenders of Li's family in the Anonymous Guancheng. The reason for the nameless Guancheng is that there is more than one. There are more than ten Guancheng piled up with stones in the back, but they are located in different places.

A bleak horn suddenly sounded, and the sound was so loud that it could reverberate through the valley.

The Han army had its own actions. It was unknown how many Han soldiers scattered into the forest. After a short while, the trees would continue to fall.

The plank road is narrow and difficult to pass. Naturally, it is impossible to carry siege equipment, and even things such as ladders cannot be carried. You can only build it when you hit the ground.

I don’t know how long later, there was another horn sound, and the finished climbing ladder was brought to the forefront by the Han soldiers. I didn’t wait for Li Cheng Han soldiers to see how many soldiers were holding large shields. When they began to line up, they shouted something, and heavy footsteps began to ring neatly.

"Tower shield soldiers opened the way, strong crossbow soldiers followed." Liu Rui was born in the Qin army of the Ran clan. He was a partial general before being incorporated into the Han army. Preside over the forward combat. The corners of his mouth curled up to form a cruel smile, and he said: "When attacking the city, the strong crossbow is the best, and the morale of the defending army is destroyed first."

The heavy footsteps have been approaching Guancheng, not advancing side by side in a neat line, it was affected by the stones on the road. When they got close to Guancheng about one hundred and eighty steps away, they stopped. The clappers behind made a loud sound, followed by the continuous slamming of bowstrings, and a crossbow arrow was fired out of the crossbow and fell through a mid-air leap.

Above Guancheng, because the Han army did not get close to the shooting range of the bow and arrow, Li Chenghan's defenders were in a state of drawing their bows but not shooting arrows. They were waiting with their breath, but they were not waiting for the Han army. As they swarmed up to siege the city, densely packed crossbow arrows came down with a sharp whistling, and the screams of each other's ups and downs were endless in an instant.

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to enter and exit. The Li family has a natural defensive advantage. Most of the troops have been nested in Shu for years without experience in fighting foreign enemies. It is clear that they understand and understand the newly rising Han army. Not enough, when the defense was laid out, it was unavoidable to carry traditional thinking, ignoring the powerful crossbow of the Han army.

One wave followed another wave. Each time about a thousand crossbows were fired at the same time by pulling the trigger, and one time was covered by a thousand crossbow arrows. Soon the side of Guancheng could be used as a force point for the crossbow arrows. The place was densely inserted, and crossbow arrows fell under and inside the city pass. It was not at all that the dead defenders covered the ground. The dead defenders either evaded or ran around.

"How come you look so much worse than Zhao Jun?" Liu Rui was not arrogant, he looked at Li Cheng Han who was running around and then shot over with contempt, and said: "Zhao Jun at least knows the dense arrows. Running around under the line will kill you."

Li Chenghan’s soldiers actually knew that running around would be fatal. What a person thinks in a panic is one thing, and what the body responds to is another. That's the main reason why people want to move but can't move when frightened. They just couldn't help running up and running, and they had to scream in horror. Not doing so was more uncomfortable than death.

The Han army’s arrow formations continued for about two quarters of an hour. No standing figures were visible above the city, nor did they stop shooting arrows. It was the tower shield soldiers who continued to advance, and the strong crossbowmen pushed forward and fired and gave way to both sides. The space allows the robe who is carrying the ladder to move forward.

The newly-built Pancheng Ladder is still very wet. They are tied out of the ladder with rope, and some branches and leaves are not even cleaned.

One after another, the climbing ladder was lifted and hit the city wall heavily with the cooperation of several people, and then watched the flexible and light Han soldiers begin to climb. However, the shooting range is across the Guancheng and backward, much like a kind of gradual artillery coverage, mainly to interfere with and block the enemy forces in the rear.

Xiaodouzi should be the first to successfully climb the city. He bit the back of the sword with his teeth and then jumped onto the female wall with his hands clasped on the stone wall. Just standing still, he saw his body shrinking into a ball and hiding behind the female wall. When an enemy soldier jumped off the female wall, he had already picked up the saber that had been biting on his mouth in mid-air. After landing, he didn't even think of slashing it over.

Of course, the Li's Cheng Han defender, who had shrunk into a ball, saw the Han sergeant ascending the city. His eyes widened, and his eyes were full of horror. He just watched the immature-faced soldier jump up. Landing and swinging the knife, a **** color appeared in his eyes, and then he was plunged into darkness forever.

Xiaodouzi is not at all sorry for the enemy soldiers who are frightened and killed. On the battlefield, you kill me and I kill you. Either you die or I die. When you go on the battlefield and charge, you don’t need to have other thoughts at that time. Anyway, trying his best to kill people with different shirts, too many thoughts are seeking death.

The Li's Cheng Han defenders hiding behind the female wall are not too few. They are crowded and shrunk into a pile. The Han soldiers who climbed up the city saw it and swung their swords without any hesitation. What pity or kindness exists.

Liu Rui glanced at his side's dozens of soldiers carrying a huge wood against the gate of the city, and then looked at the top of the city. The first encounter with the invading Li Clan Cheng Han seemed to be much easier than before?

The city gate collapsed in a loud bang, and then the Han sergeants who swarmed up and rushed into the city gate cave, and soon a fierce scream of killing appeared in the city.

On the city wall, the banners belonging to Li Chenghan were chopped off one after another and replaced with the banners of the Han army. The red characters on the black background were written in official script "Han" and the flag was waving in the wind.

Yang Xu retreated to the rear at the first moment. He is now standing on the mountainside on the side of the valley, a little bit dumbfounded and incomprehensibly looking at the direction of Guancheng, where a blue soldier is getting red and black. The color soldiers were overwhelmed.

"That's not right..." Yang Xu could find that his voice was very dry, "Isn't he able to fight barbarians?"

Li's Chenghan is a Di people regime. Their geographic location determines one thing. There will be more battles with Nanban than in the Central Plains. However, it is actually very easy for Li Chenghan to fight head-on when dealing with Nanban. The Nanban relied on complex mountainous areas to fight guerrillas.

About 60% of the Li's soldiers who were standing guard at this pass were transferred to the north from the southern barbarian battlefield in the rear. Yang Xu's troops, who were very capable of conquering and fighting against the Han army, were so vulnerable to the Han army. So much so that my mind is blank.

It should be said that Nanban is not purely a contempt, but some savage tribes who are covered with grass leaves and are either pure wooden sticks or sharp stones in their hands. Except for a few chieftains, there are no metal weapons at all.

Li's Cheng Han is more or less a member of a civilized society, organized, well-established, and superior in weapons, fighting against the unorganized, undisciplined, and barbarians in the barbaric era. The fight is still head-to-head. It seems natural that there are more wins and fewer losses. ?

Now the strong army of Li's Cheng Han encounters another Han army with better organization, discipline and more complete weapons, armor, etc., it is like the role has been exchanged, and it is taught how to behave. It is also natural.

Yang Xu quickly faced the gap between the two sides. He didn't gritted his teeth and tried to defend the city, let alone counterattack. Instead, he saved his troops as much as possible and made the troops withdraw.

The panicked Li family became soldiers of the Han soldiers. They had already retreated before they got the order. They were caught by the Han army and killed them all the way. The Han army had to retreat until the battlefield reached the edge of the cottage.

Guancheng changed hands faster than anyone imagined~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But this is not the end. The Han army who had captured Guancheng immediately discovered that there were cottages on the mountainside on both sides of the valley.

It is the cottage, built halfway up the mountainside, and the winding and narrow trails that can be climbed up are not easy to climb.

The Han army made tentative explorations, and shot dense arrows just a little closer to the cottage.

Shanzhai has a high advantage. With height, you can master the range advantage of the bow and arrow. The Shanzhai on both sides can take advantage of using bows and arrows to block the valley.

"The trail can't form a shield formation to advance..." Liu Rui tried very hard to observe the terrain. After observation, he felt that the defenders here were very clever. When they saw that the city was not enough to defend, they gave up and saved more soldiers and retreated to the cottage. He ordered the scout: "Check to see if there are other ways to attack the cottage."

The scout naturally led away.

At this time, Tiangong was very unbeautiful. It was still sunny and sunny just now, but in a blink of an eye it was overcast, the first drop of rain fell, and it was a downpour in an instant...
