Weng Shao and others were all confused, they never expected such a result.
Come on, come on…
They actually broke through without even using siege engines.
They could say that they didn't even have a chance to block.
"rush……"
Lei Yi waved his long sword.
"yes!"
The vanguard battalion rushed out.
At this moment, the soldiers on the tower of Yangguan City also fired arrows, and some people formed an array inside the pass, each holding a shield.
In this way, the army of five thousand people was divided into two waves.
But they were facing a vanguard of 20,000 people, and the gap in numbers was hard to make up. Who could imagine whether they had the ability to fight?
What's more, the Wu Dynasty sent out veterans and elites...
In this way, in a short time, all the Southern Dynasty soldiers in the pass were killed.
As for those on the tower, they only resisted for a while and were defeated.
When Weng Shao and others saw that the situation was over, they quickly raised their hands and surrendered, "I... we surrender, don't kill us..."
At Poyang Pass, it didn't take more than an hour from forming the formation to starting the siege.
To put it bluntly, although Yang Pass is the first pass, it does not have the conditions to defend it, so the Wu Dynasty's vanguard could easily capture it.
Lei Yi ordered some people to seize the commanding heights first to prepare for emergencies.
Then, he came to Weng Shao and said in a deep voice: "I don't have to kill you, but I will have a prerequisite!"
Weng Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What do you want to know? As long as I know it, I will definitely tell you everything!"
Lei Yi nodded, "Okay, I want the defense map of the Southern Dynasty army!"
Defense map?
To be honest, not really!
In order to show his sincerity, Weng Shao told Lei Yi about the civil war more than two months ago.
Lei Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. He never expected that the Southern Dynasty and the princes would all fight for the throne, and in the end both sides would lose.
In this way, wouldn't they be able to grab a ready advantage?
Lei Yi immediately said to the people around him: "Tell General Shi this important information immediately!"
Before they sent out troops, they also heard something from Jiang Ning, but they were not sure.
Now that the situation in the Southern Dynasties has been determined, we can move forward boldly.
Lei Yi glanced at Weng Shao coldly, "If you tell the truth, I won't kill you, and I can even treat you as a meritorious service and make you a centurion, but if you lie, huh
…”
Weng Shao heard this and knelt directly on the ground, "General... General, everything I say now is the truth. Some time ago, the Southern Dynasty's 400,000-strong army was consumed by nearly 300,000 due to the civil war!"
"If...if there is even half a lie in what I say, I will be struck by lightning!"
Looking at Weng Shao's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying, so Lei Yi chose to believe it.
He added: "After Yang Pass, is the first pass to the south, the Tianshan Mountains?"
Weng Shaowei did not expect that a general from the Wu Dynasty would be so familiar with the passes in the Southern Dynasties.
He answered: "Back to General, this Tianshan Mountain is so named because it resembles a ladder to the sky! And there are steep peaks on both sides, and there is only one road in the middle for the army to pass! Due to the special geography
Location, this Dengtian Pass is the first pass in our southern and northern borders!"
"Dengtian Pass..." Lei Yi muttered to himself, and soon there was a glow in his eyes, "Sir, let's go and meet the first pass of the Southern and Northern Borders!"
"yes!"
While the vanguard advances.
Shi Gandang followed and entered Yangguan with the army.
Now, it can be said that the Wu Dynasty's 100,000 troops entered the land of the Southern Dynasty without any effort.
Lei Yi and others arrived first outside Dengtian Pass. The majestic mountains gave people an unprecedented sense of oppression, which made people's hearts tremble.
Exactly what Weng Shao said.
This Dengtian Pass is located between two mountains. It is not easy to break through it.
Moreover, because the passage is too narrow, usually only thirty people can line up side by side, which makes it impossible to even attack the city.
Lei Yi stared at the Dengtian Pass with burning eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you want to break through such a pass, I'm afraid you will have to bleed like a river!"
People around me don’t know what to say.
Mainly, the Dengtian Pass in front of us is really difficult to break... Also, this Dengtian Pass seems to be integrated with the mountain.
The ladder-like defense can make the arrows rain in a staggered manner!
Not long after, Shi Gandang also arrived. After seeing the Dengtian Pass in front of him, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, what a majestic pass!
Lei Yi rushed to Shi Gandang and said, "General, I'm afraid it won't be easy to break through this Dengtian Pass!"
Shi Gandang nodded, "Yes...even a three-bow crossbow will not work. This city seems to be built with natural mountain rocks..."
"Then what should we do?" Lei Yi asked.
Shi Gandang looked around and said, "Exit first and set up camp at the entrance of the pass!"
"In this way, we can prevent them from sneak attacks at the border!"
"yes……"
In this way, the Wu Dynasty army retreated to the pass, and built a three-story wooden stronghold as quickly as possible, with archers placed on top, middle and bottom in case of emergencies.
Temporary camp.
Lei Yi held a wooden stick on the sand and drew twice, "General, there is only one way to go south. How do you think we should fight this battle?"
Shi Gandang said in a deep voice: "It looks like it's not easy to fight!"
Lei Yi nodded, "Yeah...it's easy to defend but hard to attack, and there's only one way to enter the pass. Is it possible that we have to stop here?"
Shi Gandang answered, "How could our Wu Dynasty army stop like this?"
They now understand why Dengtian Pass is called the first pass.
Such a majestic pass is well deserved.
Lei Yi was deep in thought, just staring at the ground. Suddenly he thought of something and said in a deep voice: "General, can we dig a tunnel to enter the pass?"
They have used this method before.
Shi Gandang thought for a moment, then pulled out his long knife and stabbed it hard on the ground. The blade bent, but there was no reaction from the ground, only a little dust was stirred up.
He said: "Down here, it looks like there are rocks and solid soil. It is not easy to dig at all. I don't think it's feasible to dig tunnels!"
Lei Yi thought for a moment and quickly gave up on this year.
sigh!
In this way, he and Shi Gandang thought about it for more than an hour, but still couldn't find a suitable breakthrough.
So, Shi Gandang said slowly: "Let's go and take a look on the spot!"
"good!"
Immediately afterwards, the two left the camp and searched and observed the terrain near the pass.
A qualified general will naturally have these abilities!
But then again, the Dengtian Pass in front of us is really not that majestic...
It’s really not that difficult to pass the level!
"The front won't work, and there's no suitable way to attack from the side!"
Shi Gandang was thoughtful and muttered to himself.
