Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 256 Hangu Pass

Influenced by various games of the Three Kingdoms, Fei Qian always thought that Hangu Pass was a city wall, at most a thicker city wall, but only found out when he got to the field. In fact, later games simplified Hangu Pass to only one section. city ​​walls.

  In fact, Hangu Pass is a city. Although it is not big, it is indeed a city.

  The location of Hangu Pass is very interesting. When Fei Qian stood in front of Hangu Pass, he really realized the despair that the leading general would feel if he received the order to attack Hangu Pass.

  Hangu Pass is just the last turning point of the Yellow River, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

The Yellow River surges out of the mountain streams in the north, and the Qinling Mountains meanders to the high mountains in the south. Hangu Pass is built between the two mountains, and the narrowest section between these two mountains is only the width of one and a half carriages. , the passing vehicles must be "unilaterally released". If there is a mudslide or something, don't stare on the spot...

Even if there are millions of troops on this terrain, it still can't be deployed. At most, a thousand people go up each time. If there are more numbers, it will be crowded. set a fire...

   Fei Qian shuddered.

  After an accident on the road last time, my stomach began to feel uncomfortable after seeing meat for several days, so now I don’t dare to think about it casually, if it becomes a sequelae or something, how will I live in the future...

   Feiqian stood at the foot of Hangu Pass, looking up at the towering Guanlou, feeling really shocked. Hanguguan Guanlou is a three-story building. In the middle of the Guanlou, just above the city gate, there are three big characters "Hanguguan", which is simple and magnificent. I don't know which ancestor's calligraphy.

The overall height of the city wall on the east side of Hangu Pass is about thirteen or four feet high, about ten feet long, and it is stuck between two mountains. How wide is the city wall? You can’t see it from the angle of the city, but you can see the soldiers on it. Walking back and forth, it seems to be quite spacious.

  A related building is built on the Guan wall. The uppermost floor is an octagonal building with copper bells hanging at the corners of the building. About 100 meters to the east of the Guanlou, two small turrets were built according to the mountain situation. One is the Watching Tower and the other is the Chicken Crowing Tower. The rear is obviously used to highlight the attack surface, so that the soldiers attacking Hangu Pass can be used by the enemy.

   This dangerous place will really give any leading general a headache.

  While waiting for the team to enter the city, Fei Qian was thinking, what would he do if he came to attack by himself? This terrain is difficult even for the troops to deploy, let alone the siege equipment. The offensive surface is so narrow that even if you use the crowd tactics, there is obviously no way to force the defenders to lose their strength. The attack intensity is not enough. It just became a refueling tactic...

   Is it really like what other people said, dig a tunnel to install gunpowder?

Fei Qian stared at the road under his feet for a while, and then gave up this wonderful idea. This is just a layer of soil on the top, and there are obviously large and small rocks underneath. It's all connected, I guess the world will be unified...

After finally entering Hangu Pass, there is no way, the road is so wide, even if you want to give way, you can’t find a place to make way, and there must be a width of two horses in the middle, so as to convey the military information quickly. Horses can gallop.

In the Han Dynasty, there were only two kinds of people walking in the middle of the road, one was the emperor, and the other was a fast horse with a speed of eight hundred miles. Besides, if ordinary people trespassed in the middle of the road, the warning would be invalid. The next is that you can directly use a bow and crossbow to knock it down...

  Entering Hangu Pass City, Fei Qian discovered that such a small city is actually a small city with an inner and outer city structure. The inner city was built close to the mountain in the north, and it was generally in the shape of a rectangle, stuck in the canyon.

The ancients were really too unkind. Judging by this posture, even if the gate of Hangu Pass was broken through untold hardships, oh, no matter how it was broken, when they entered the city, they would probably be dumbfounded again. mode to enter the street fighting mode, but also to be poured all kinds of firepower on the head by the soldiers on such a long inner city wall...

  There is only one road in the city that runs through Guancheng from east to west, and it is the only road. In the middle of the city, there is another road going south, which is on the north bank of Zaojian River. There is a relatively flat land, which is also the main living area of ​​Hanguguan.

  As an important pass between east and west, Hangu Pass naturally has private facilities such as inns, and there are also official post stations. Fei Qian found the post station very smoothly, and settled down by relying on his identity as the servant of the left office.

  Such a dangerous level, no wonder everyone thought about it at the beginning, but unfortunately this level is indeed too difficult to attack, filling it with human life looks like a bottomless pit no matter how you look at it.

  Fei Qian had been sitting in the carriage for a day anyway, and he was really panicked. He finally got to the ground, so he naturally wanted to walk around the city, so he walked slowly while thinking about the previous problems casually.

If water and fire techniques are often used—water is obviously unrealistic, fire attack? Fei Qian glanced at the houses on both sides, and scratched his head. And maybe because of paying attention to the issue of fire prevention, not only did the roof use tiles instead of thatch, but also built a canal on the side of the road to draw water from the Zaojian River. On the one hand, it met the needs of life, and on the other hand On the one hand, if there is a fire, it is extremely convenient to fetch water.

   In this way, even the effect of the fire attack is discounted and then discounted...

   Fei Qian walked with Huang Cheng's company, pondering in his heart, but the fall of many famous cities since ancient times was not due to external reasons, but internal factors.

  So, if there is a fight, there are still some ways...

  Fei Qian walked to the gate of the inner city of Hangu Pass, hesitant.

  Depending on the situation, the government departments of Hangu Pass should be set up in the inner city. Do you want to go in and have a look?

  The chief officers of Hangu Pass are divided into civil and military officers. Fei Qian didn't have much impression of the civil servant Hanguguan, it seems that he is a man named Zheng, who has something to do with Zheng Xuan? Or Zheng from somewhere else?

  Warriorship, it is naturally a figure from Dong Zhuo's faction, named Guo Pu, probably has something to do with Guo Si.

  Should I enter now or not?

While Fei Qian was hesitating, in the post station, a man with the appearance of a postman stood in the corner, watching Huang Xu pointing to arranging the chariots and horses, his eyes were flickering, and then silently shrunk his figure into the shadows little by little. Down, turned around quietly, and slipped out of the station...

   Mrs. Mi: "General Zhao, quickly take Adou away. I must never go with you on horseback, lest others say that I have cheated on the bodyguards and made me flirtatious."

   Zhao Yundao: "We just need to have a clear conscience, what do you do with others' words?"

   Madam Mi said: "What if I feel ashamed?"

   Zhao Yun was stunned, unable to catch up, and only said: "You...you..."
