Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1125 Injury

Yang Jun still doesn't know what happened in Guanzhong. After all, once Tongguan was stuck, the traffic was cut off. What's more, Shanjin was also occupied by General Zhengxi. As a result, there were some news about Guanzhong and Hedong. Difficulty and lag.

   Tongguan is not easy to fight, everyone knows this.

  Although it is not as famous as Hangu Pass, it is still a flesh and blood mill, which is true. If possible, Yang Jun really didn't want to fight Tongguan, but he had no choice.

  Even Yang Biao.

  Yang Biao naturally has no problems in people's livelihood and government affairs. Of course, no one will question Yang Biao in this regard, but when it comes to war...

  Yang Biao has yet to achieve a successful record. Even the last victory in Guanzhong Chang'an seems to be just a foil for Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi who appeared last.

  The "broken-mouthed women" in Chang'an mostly said this, saying that Yang Gong is not proficient in war, so why bother to waste the people and waste money with militarism, it is better to give full play to his strengths and manage the people's livelihood well.

  But there is no strong army, no soldiers who can deter the surroundings, even if we pay more attention to people's livelihood and hometown, what's the use? In the Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if the monarch was fatuous, didn’t those scholar-bureaucrats care about farming and mulberry?

  Nongsang is important, but you also need to have force and a record to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao!

   Tongguan is not easy to fight.

   General Zhengxi's troops are not easy to fight.

  But you have to fight, and you have to win!

  Only in this way, people around will be in awe and truly obey!

  There is also a very obscure factor, that is, the cold spring this year has caused disasters in many areas, but the soldiers who were originally recruited will not take the initiative to reduce food because of the cold spring to solve Yang Biao's problems. Therefore, if you want to reduce the pressure on the food and grass caused by the cold spring, you must save the chaff...

  Yang Jun looked at the "Han" flag flying above Tongguan City, sighed softly in his mouth, and immediately ordered loudly: "Sheshengying, step forward and shoot in volley!"

Two thousand archers, divided into four squares, were displayed on the left and right under Tongguan. With an order, the long arrows left the bowstring and flew into the air. The two thousand arrows gathered in the air to form a dotted and linear shadow. It's like two thousand blood-sucking insects, clamoring and making noise, rushing to the head of Tongguan city!

Ma Yan shouted: "Raise the shield!" Looking at the arrows coming from the sky, Ma Yan couldn't help frowning. Judging from the density and accuracy of the shooting this time, I'm afraid it's not like he said it was just farmers and soldiers. Simple…

  The sword and shield hand held the shield obliquely and stood in the front. The archer who was ready to fight back at any time hid behind the sword and shield hand, while the pikemen lay behind the battlements so as not to block the design sight of the archer.

The arrow crossed the sky, and arrived instantly with the sound of "咻咻", and then the long arrow hit the city wall, and the sound of "Boom, Boom, Boom" on the shield was heard endlessly, and then the voices of all the people above and below the city gathered Together, they formed a huge roar.

This time the soldiers brought by Yang Jun are obviously more capable than the last time. The four archers in front of the phalanx, under the cover of the front row of swords and shields, quickly entered the range of a hundred steps from the city wall. Within the phalanx, under the command of the captain in front of the front of the phalanx, amidst the roar of the team leader or Qu Zhang, quickly shot long arrows one after another, flying to the ground in batches. In the air, it seems that there is no gap.

  Countless long arrows screamed in a hurry, jumping into the air, and in an instant, the entire sky was covered with long arrows. They were like locusts all over the sky, covering the sun.

The first unlucky thing above Tongguan was the city gate tower, which was only half built. The wooden structure of the pavilion groaned in pain under the raging arrows, trembling all over, and was pierced by countless sharp arrows beyond recognition. It turned into a hedgehog. Then those flags that were flying high above the city head also stepped into the footsteps of the city gate tower. The colorful flags were either shot off and fell or were shot through and broken, including the original "Han" character flag, The broken pieces of cloth fluttered, part of it fell on the city, and part of it floated to the bottom of the city with the wind...

A worn-out straw sandal full of yellow mud stepped on it with a "poof" and stepped the character "Han" into the mud. Immediately after that, more straw sandals or bare feet stepped on it. Come up until the originally exquisite flag surface is trampled into an extremely filthy appearance.

  Yang Jun pointed to a messenger and said loudly: "Come on, tell me to set up a ladder immediately! Siege the city gate!"

  With the change of the dense battle drums, the archers who were approaching in a dense array in front suddenly opened up the distance in a row and gave way to the city wall.

   "Quick! Quick! Attack!" Cai Guan Xiaowei held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, roaring loudly. His army consisted of fifty men. The front and back sides are covered by shield soldiers, and a dozen soldiers in the middle are bent over and carrying ladders. His task is to assume the ladder to the top of the city as quickly as possible, paving the way for the follow-up troops to attack. As for Ant Possession, it is out of his control. His other task is to attack the city gate with the set up rush car.

  The roar suddenly soared into the sky, and thousands of soldiers rushed out of the archer phalanx from behind, and rushed towards the Tongguan city wall full of arrows.

  The lieutenant of Shesheng raised his knife and shouted wildly: "Salvo! Cover! Salvo!" The black arrows gathered again, screaming and rushing towards Tongguan.

  Ma Yan did feel different this time, and felt some pressure. After all, this is the army of the big man himself, which is completely different from the peasants and soldiers who came here for the first time.

  Which **** is most aware of its own faction's weaknesses?

  Which arms kill the cruelest?

   There is only one answer, and that is our own people.

When the cavalry rushed into the line of the archers, as long as they were not fools, these archers would definitely scatter in all directions. No one would take the initiative to fight with the cavalry at close range with a longbow, and only when the same type of soldiers were equipped with the same configuration, the battle situation would be the best. brutal...

  The last time Yang Jun led his troops, there were not many archers. Ma Yan could counterattack in the gap between the archers' attacks. Not only did he not suffer much damage, but he also killed many of Yang Jun's soldiers. The archers divided into four positions, under the command of the professional archer lieutenant, cover and shoot uniformly. The previous wave just fell, and the subsequent wave came again, like a wave, endless.

  Ma Yan could already see that on the shield held in front of him, there were no less than a dozen arrows standing densely. This accuracy and strength were beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers.

   This time, Yang Jun obviously brought many veterans who had served in the Heluo area for many years.

   Really put the whole family on the line...

   It's just that under Mayan, he is also a battle-hardened veteran.

   Veterans have seen death and are used to blood. When facing battle formations, they always appear calmer. Unlike those recruits, they usually train well. When it comes to battle, they don’t know where to put their hands and feet. And veterans can even huddle behind their shields and ask each other about the situation when arrows are raining down all over the sky...

   "It's almost time for you, I saw the echelon team coming up!"

  The sword and shield hand slanted against the huge shield with his shoulders and arms, covering himself and the archer behind him. He took a few glances through the gap in the shield, and turned back to talk to the archer behind him.

The archer bent down, gently pulled the bowstring with his hands, and said amidst the sound of arrows piercing the shield and the wall, "What's the hurry, hasn't the captain ordered it yet? Besides, rushing now Those who come here are all guarded by shield soldiers. Even if they shoot, they won’t kill a few of them. It’s better to wait for them to rush up and fix the ladder.

  The sword and shield hand laughed twice, and said: "Okay, it's up to you then. Whether we can relax or not depends on how many you can kill before they climb up..."

The archer moved the two quiver around his waist to a convenient position. After simulating it twice, he found that there was no obstacle. Hearing the sound of the arrow hitting the shield on the city wall, he said: "No! Question... Well, there are fewer arrows, these people must have reached the bottom of the city...Has the captain not ordered yet? It's almost there..."

  Dao Dunshou turned his head to look, and said: "Lieutenant Ma stood up...raised his right arm..."

   "The swords and shields are scattered, and the archers shoot at will!" Ma Yan shouted loudly.

  Amidst the sound of "cracking", the sword and shield fighters blocking the battlements at the forefront took a step to the side almost at the same time, giving way to the shooting window of the archers!

Almost at the same time, the archer erected his bow on this small shooting window, and then shot an arrow instantly without even aiming, and then took out the arrow from the side quiver. Winding, drawing the bow, and shooting, a series of actions are completed in an instant, making people dazzled, and the speed is unimaginable.

"One, two...three, grass, three, four..." The archer muttered, concentrating on it, not paying attention at all, there were still some scattered arrows whizzing through the air, shooting at the fastest speed, long The arrows left the city head one by one, and rushed towards Yang Jun's soldiers who were preparing to erect the ladder.

It's not that Yang Jun's archers don't want to continue to suppress, but at this moment, the archers who have shot nearly thirty or forty in a row have exhausted their physical strength. Many archers lowered their hands and panted violently. The bows could not be held stably, and some accidentally scratched their wrists or fingers, and the blood flowed down the bows and dripped on the loess ground.

  The archers needed to be refurbished after firing thirty arrows in a row, and the vacuum in this time was filled by Mayan's archers above Tongguan...

The sound of war drums, shouts, fighting, and screams resounded up and down the city wall. Long black arrows flew in the air, **** war knives whizzed in the wind, huge stones raged on the ladders, and heavy shovels carried The sound of wind and thunder descended from the sky with the momentum of thunder, and the soldiers on the ladder were like skewers, and all of them were rolled to the bottom of the city, turning them into blurred pools of meat patties and meat sauce.

  The sun hangs lazily in mid-air, looking indifferently at the **** battle taking place in Tongguan, perhaps unable to understand why these ants are killing each other at all, yawned dispiritedly, hid behind the clouds and continued to sleep...

  ………………

  Fei Qian is having a headache right now, and due to his negligence for a while, he did not anticipate the chain reaction of the cold spring, and now he has to face an extremely difficult situation.

  Information from Yinshan found that Xianbei was going south; the Zhong family from Chang’an in Guanzhong sent people to ask for help, saying that Xia Mou drove a large number of refugees to approach Chang’an; Tongguan also reported news that the Yang family came to the city again...

   All of a sudden, wars broke out.

"Yinshan Mobei..." Fei Qian tapped on the table lightly, making a small sound like a woodpecker, and said, "According to the records, every year when the spring is cold, there will be barbarian people going south in all likelihood... For this matter, Naimou didn't think carefully..."

  Xun Chen said: "This matter is not the fault of the princes. There is no definite number for the Hu people to go south. How can it be said that it is the fault of the princes? The princes are very strict in self-discipline..."

   Fei Qian shook his head, although most people think that this matter is not Fei Qian's responsibility, but he knows that this is indeed negligence.

The reason why the Hu people went south is not complicated, and it is not difficult to speculate. It is just that the livestock have no food source due to the cold spring, resulting in death and a decrease in the number. to reduce the population...

  No matter what kind it is, the target of the Hu people will always be the farming people in the south.

"We can maintain a strong position in front of the Xiongnu and Qiang people, nothing more than we can defeat Xianbei again and again!" Fei Qian said, "Hu people admire the strong most, and they are used to obeying the strong, but , if we show a decadent appearance, the ones who will raise their knives to us will be these barbarian people who have been kneeling down in the past... Therefore, this time we will go south to Xianbei, we must win, and we must win cleanly..."

There is another reason, Fei Qian didn't say it clearly, but he was a little worried in his heart. After all, in order to clear out no-man's land before, to form the effect of solid walls and clear fields, when there are not many trees and only oasis water sources, it can only pollute the water sources. It's just like the Huns' strategy against the Han people back then, but Fei Qian didn't know whether such a move would be effective, or how effective it would be.

  So Yinshan must do a good job of defense against Xianbei soldiers on the one hand, and also need to be prepared for the spread of diseases.

   There are Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others in the defense, so there is nothing wrong with it, but the defense against diseases, I am afraid...

   "Tune Zhang Yun and Zhang Yiyang to follow the army, and go north with a certain person to the Yinshan Mountain today!" Fei Qian said, "The land of the Yinshan Mountain is the future granary for you and me, so nothing can be lost! As for Chang'an..."

  Jia Xu arched his hands and said, "If you can trust the prince, can you teach me how to deal with the matter of Chang'an?"

   Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu, a little surprised, after all, this big turtle usually keeps its head down, and rarely takes the initiative to take the burden...

   "I don't know how many soldiers Wenhe needs?" Fei Qian asked.

  Jia Xu said: "Five hundred riders are fine."

  Fei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Yes! I will entrust Wenhe with the matter of Guanzhong..." Anyway, it is only 500 cavalry. If Jia Xu can really solve the problem in Guanzhong, he can be considered capable. Although Jia Xu didn't say exactly how to do it, but since Jia Xu jumped out, according to Jia Xu's character, I'm afraid it can be done in all likelihood.

  Unexpectedly, Pang Tong cupped his hands and said: "So, let the south be handed over to a certain...Give a certain five hundred cavalry, and it will relieve the worries of the princes at Tongguan..."

   Yo, you are so awesome, can you really save trouble?

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "This...well..." It was too straightforward to promise Jia Xu before, and he didn't ask Jia Xu what kind of plan he wanted. Now that Pang Tong came out, he was not good. Ask, otherwise, wouldn't it be clear that I believe in Jia Xu and not in Pang Tong?

  But Tongguan in the south, besides Pang Tong, there is also Xu Shu, so giving Pang Tong five hundred horses should be no problem...

  However, Pang Tong noticed Fei Qian's hesitant words immediately. In the lobby, Pang Tong couldn't get angry, so he glared at Fei Qian angrily, and secretly made up his mind that this time he would not only win but also be beautiful, lest this Fei Qian always treat himself like a child...
