Chapter 48 Absolute suppression

Jiameng Pass is an important barrier above the Jinniu Road. According to legend, King Huiwen of Qin had no way to attack Shu, so he asked him to make five stone cows, saying that he could shit gold and deceive the King of Shu. After hearing the news, the King of Shu actually sent people to open the way to guide him. Only then could there be a road between Qin and Shu. This road was also nicknamed the Jinniu Road by later generations. After hundreds of years of renovation, this Jinniu Road was also a main road to enter Shu. When a large army entered Shu, he would pass Jiameng.

At a slight dawn, the steep city walls of Jiameng Pass are bathed in the faint morning light. From a distance, clouds and mist are shrouded in mountains and mountains, and the scenery is picturesque.

A Shu army leaned his spear against the female wall on one side, faced the rising sun, stretched comfortably. The long night had passed. It was almost time to change the guards, and it was another peaceful and peaceful day.

Over the years, when Liu Yan entered Shu, he had a dispute with the remnants of the Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang. However, at that time, Ma Xiang had been killed by Jia Long, and the scale of the war was not large and it was quickly calmed down and there was no time to spread to Jiameng Pass.

The low horn sounded, and the soldiers who had been sleeping sounded all night woke up from their sleep, quickly put on their helmets and armor, and began the necessary inspections and simple exercises of the new day.

Liu Yan knew that troubled times were coming, so after a little stability, the first thing was to collect military power and train the combat power of the Shu army. Especially after Ye Zhao entered Hanzhong, Liu Yan was particularly concerned about the three passes. Even if Jiameng Pass was placed between Baishui and Zitong, it was the safest line of defense and he never let go of daily inspections.

The Jiameng Pass was a general who followed Liu Yan when he was in Youzhou. He was named Zhang Yi. He was not famous at that time and his ability was not very good. His only advantage was his duty. As Youzhou, he followed his old subordinates until now, and has experienced many wars. After Liu Yan firmly sat in Yizhou, he promoted him to the lieutenant and was responsible for the guards of Jiameng Pass.

The sky seemed to be a little darker.

Standing above Guancheng, Zhang Yi, who was about to leave, subconsciously looked up at the sky, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

The rising sun was rising, and thousands of golden lights were shining. The morning light lingering among the mountains and ridges was rapidly dissipating. In the sky that should have been clear, it was suddenly covered by dense huge UFOs, blocking the sunlight.

It was like huge lanterns, with baskets hanging below, slowly approaching here.

"What is this?" Zhang Yi looked at this scene in shock.

Not only him, but the soldiers from Jiameng Pass were also shocked when they looked at the flying object that suddenly appeared above Jiameng Pass.

"General, look, there is someone above!" A Shi came to his senses and suddenly pointed to a "lantern" close to him and exclaimed.

At this moment, these flying objects were approaching unknowingly, and someone could vaguely see on the hanging basket under the lantern.

"What?" Zhang Yi heard this and quickly looked at it. He also found that there were really people on the hanging baskets. And they were not ordinary people. A sword and gun reflected a chilling luster under the illumination of the rising sun.

"No, it's the enemy, call, prepare for war!" When Zhang Yi saw clearly the small flags hanging above the flying objects, his expression changed. It was a military flag representing Ye Zhao's power. It was obviously not a good thing to appear here at this moment.

"Woo~Woo~" The desolate horn sounded again, but it was a bit more rapid and powerful than the previous continuous sound!

When the Guanzhong soldiers heard the news, they quickly walked up to the city wall, slamming stones and rolling trees, and casting cars and crossbows were stomping on the strings, just the next moment...

"General, our crossbow cannot be shot!" A soldier looked at Zhang Yi and said in a stern voice.

The crossbow is also a giant crossbow. There are only a few left in the pre-Qin period. Two people need to operate it. Only by stepping on it can the crossbow be opened. However, this crossbow is huge in size and is generally used to defend the city. The shooting angle can be adjusted up and down. On weekdays, it is okay to shoot downwards, but at this moment, facing the enemy in the air, it is inaccurate at all.

"Release!" Zhang Yi reacted after hearing this, and tried hard to lift a crossbow up and looked into the air. However, how to calibrate it became a problem.

"Bang~"

As the bowstring trembled, a thick and long crossbow arrow broke out of the air, but no longer knew where it was.

Not only crossbows, but also catapults, can't aim the stone bullet at the "lanterns" in the air. In addition, ordinary city-guarding equipment such as rolling wood and stones are even more unlikely to pose any threat to the enemies flying in the air.

But at this moment, the huge lanterns had already flew to the sky near the city wall and were above the city wall. Arrows came one by one, shooting a Shu army guarding the city. The female wall was useless. Zhang Yi hurriedly ordered someone to shoot arrows. However, the lantern was made of rattan strips. It was not only light but also very strong. The ordinary clusters of arrows could not be shot through at all. However, the soldiers inside could rely on the vine blue grid to block the arrows. When the soldiers guarding the gate changed the arrows, they immediately stood up and shot.

There are only five soldiers on a flying boat at most. In total, there are not many people, but they are condescending. Moreover, they cannot get up the ladder. They just need to continuously release the arrow clusters.

More and more flying boats approached the city walls, and the clusters of arrows gradually became denser.

This state of being able to be beaten but not counterattack, coupled with this new type of fighting method that has never appeared on the battlefield, the morale strike against the Shu army guarding the pass is devastating. Before the flying boat could reach the sky above the city wall, deserters began to appear. At this moment, crossbows could not be used.

However, when we arrived in the sky, should the enemy soldiers look over?

Zhang Yi stared at the flying boats gradually stopped above Jiameng Pass, frowned and thoughtful, waiting for the moment when the enemy showed their flaws to counterattack. At this moment, the soldiers guarding the pass were not good to shoot arrows.

"Shoot the arrow!" A general saw the lanterns coming up above the sky, subconsciously issued an order to direct the soldiers to shoot.

"No!" Zhang Yi's expression changed when he heard this. It was too late to stop him.

"Swish swish swish swish swish~"

Arrows rose into the air and shot towards the flying boat in the air.

On the flying boat, the five soldiers only needed to take out the vine shield and cover it on their heads to completely cover the above. The arrow cluster that broke through the air could not cause any damage to them. However, after the arrow cluster was exhausted and fell from the sky, the face of the entire Shu army at the city suddenly changed.

Zhang Yi cursed inwardly and hurriedly hid in the city tower, but most soldiers were not so lucky and were injured by the falling arrow clusters. The feeling of being shot by their own family members was really not very wonderful.

Zhang Yi ran out of the city tower angrily, trying to settle the score with the general, but when he found the person, he saw that an arrow falling from the sky had already penetrated his head, and he had no sound. He breathed in his chest and had nowhere to vent. He looked up at the sky, but found that under the hanging baskets, there was no way to open a hole the size of a human head, and then a pottery jar fell from the hole one by one.

"Smack sex~"

Clay pots fell from the sky, and many soldiers were smashed to their heads and blood flowed. A viscous liquid overflowed from the broken clay pots. The pungent smell quickly spread the entire city tower.

"No, it's tinea oil! Go quickly!" Zhang Yi's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he rolled and crawled, and then walked towards the walkway.

The Shu army guarded the pass also reacted and rushed to the city one after another. Many people were pushed directly by the soldiers behind and fell from the city tower, falling to pieces.

"Huh huh huh ~" Torches fell from the flying boat, and the tincture oil that filled the entire city wall burned as soon as it encountered an open fire. Countless Shu soldiers who had not had time to escape were swallowed by the flames in an instant. Above the entire city tower, a sea of ​​Shura fire became an instant, and countless firemen struggling in it were roaring around, wanting to put out the fire, but the places that had not been ignited were quickly covered by the flames.

After the flying boat caught fire at the city gate, it quickly separated from both sides by the heat flow. Under the operation of the soldiers, it slowly landed. A Hanzhong soldier came out one after another and lined up on both sides of the city gate.

Soon, the city gate of Jiameng Pass opened, and countless Shu troops rushed out of the city. What awaited them was cold clusters of arrows locking them.

"I am Guan Hai, the captain of the military school under the tent of General Cavalry!" A general walked out of the crowd, looked at the embarrassed Shu army and said loudly: "Those who surrender will avoid death!"

"Don't think about it!" Zhang Yi spat a sputum hard, picked up the precious knife, looked at Guan Hai and said, "Don't underestimate my Shu son!"

"Zhang Yi, you are from Youzhou. When did you become a Shu person?" Guan Hai sneered and glanced at the timid soldiers behind him and said disdainfully: "Let these soldiers answer by themselves."

Zhang Yi turned around, and everyone unconsciously lowered their heads wherever they looked.

"You..." Zhang Yi looked at the soldiers under his command and shouted: "There are not many thieves, so we may not be invincible! The soldiers will not follow me to kill the enemy!?"

"Those who surrender live, those who resist die!" Guan Hai groaned muffled, took a step forward, with a ferocious look on his face. The three hundred soldiers behind him quickly set off their bows and arrows. Just when the soldiers of the Shu army resisted, they would immediately shoot arrows and shoot the enemy.

"Dang ~"

A Shu army glanced at Guan Hai in fear, suddenly threw down the spear in his hand, knelt silently, and hugged his head with both hands.

"Dang ~Dang ~" After someone took the lead, it seemed as if it would be contagious. More and more Shu soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. The brief confrontation that had occurred before had completely destroyed their morale. At this moment, even if there were only more than 300 people behind Guan Hai, it was not much more than them, these Shu soldiers obviously were unwilling to fight again.

"Roar~" Zhang Yi roared angrily and killed two kneeling soldiers one after another, but it was difficult to win back the morale of the army. In anger, he let out a roar and went straight to Guan Hai.

"I don't know how to live or die!" Guan Hai snorted coldly, reached out to stop his subordinate who wanted to shoot arrows, picked up the knife and walked towards Zhang Yi. He was getting closer, and swung the knife and slashed it.

"Clang~"

With a crisp sound, Zhang Yi's hands cracked, and the knife was knocked away. His body staggered back, but was chased by Guan Hai and kicked him down.

"Die!" Looking at Zhang Yi who was struggling and struggling constantly, a coldness flashed in Guan Hai's eyes. The raised sword brought a cold light under the rising sun, and the roar of Zhang Yi fell down in the desperate roar.

The head was washed away by blood. Guan Hai wiped the blood stains on his face, turned his head to look at a sergeant and said, "Jiameng Pass has been broken. Go back to Nanzheng to report to the lord."
