Chapter 386 The strategic significance of Jiameng Pass and Baishui Pass
"General Zhang, I have gathered all the soldiers!"
Lei Tie was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to lead the soldiers back and take the soldiers on board as soon as possible.
Zhang Wei nodded dully, looked at the Yizhou elites that he was proud of, and suddenly felt that he had an extremely ridiculous idea.
Yizhou's elite might be nothing compared to Liu Zhang's elite troops!
The roar in the distance became louder and louder, and the vibrations under his feet became clearer. Zhang Wei knew that he could not stay here any longer!
If he wants to escape now, he must have a scapegoat to stop Liu Zhang for him. This person is undoubtedly Lei Tie!
"General Lei, you are here to command the attack. I will arrange for the soldiers at Tianxiong Pass to prepare for a flanking attack on Liu Zhang!"
Lei Tie didn't have the slightest doubt and nodded resolutely.
"General Zhang, leave this place to me!"
Zhang Wei was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Lei Tie was so innocent and didn't have the slightest suspicion!
"Okay! General Lei must block Liu Zhang. I will attack him from behind later!"
Patting Lei Tie on the shoulder, Zhang Wei took his bodyguard and turned away, quickly disappearing into the night.
"Quick, get on top of me and drive the enemy out!"
Lei Tie never thought that Zhang Wei would leave him and escape alone, and was still struggling to direct the soldiers to move forward.
Soon Lei Tie also discovered the problem. His side had been suffering casualties, but the enemy had no damage at all!
These armored soldiers formed two small square formations, relying on the armor they wore to resist the attacks of the Jiameng Pass defenders without restraint. However, the Jiameng Pass defenders did not have armor to protect themselves, and they were often hacked to death in the gaps between attacks!
Even when the Jiamengguan defenders were attacking, they faced attacks from armored soldiers in a square formation!
Lei Tie was sweating profusely. His soldiers had surrounded the two hundred armored soldiers, but it was his own side that was retreating steadily!
Rumble...
Lei Tie was so focused that he didn't even notice that the roar was approaching!
"Trapped in camp, scattered left and right!"
A loud shout came, and the armored soldiers immediately changed their formation and attacked both sides of the city gate with all their strength! The defenders on both sides did not expect this change at all, and were directly cut off and abandoned their armor. The position of the city gate was completely empty.
Come out!
"Quick! Occupy the city gate and close the city gate!"
Lei Tie was overjoyed. As long as he closed the city gate, he could beat the dog! No matter how brave these armored soldiers were, they could be killed by exhaustion!
"Quick! Give them all to me..."
Before Lei Tie could say his urging words, he heard a huge crash, followed by a series of crashes and stampedes!
Boom! Boom boom boom...
Seeing the soldiers flying at his feet, Lei Tie quickly looked towards the city gate, and his heart suddenly became filled with despair!
Countless black-armored knights have rushed into the city and are wantonly harvesting the lives of the Jiameng Pass defenders!
Crash, trample, slash!
These cavalry were wreaking havoc like killing chickens and dogs, and the screams of our own soldiers were everywhere in Jiameng Pass!
"ah!..."
Soon, the morale of the army collapsed!
The Yizhou elite that Zhang Wei was so proud of completely collapsed under the trampling of the cavalry!
The defenders of Jiameng Pass were fleeing everywhere, and no one took up arms to resist anymore!
Lei Tie stood there blankly, not knowing how to deal with this situation. Obviously, the scene in front of him far exceeded his expectations!
It wasn't until a cold spear was placed on his neck that Lei Tie realized that he was captured!
The battle was over soon. The iron cavalry of Wu Feng Battalion directly controlled the east and west gates of Jiameng Pass. Only part of the defenders escaped, and most of them were trapped in the city!
Everything has been settled, and finally a figure entered Jiameng Pass surrounded by everyone. It was Zhang Wei's Wei General Liu Zhang who "thought about it day and night"!
"My lord, capture more than 5,000 Jiameng Pass defenders and capture the general Lei Tie."
Zhao Yun escorted Lei Tie to Liu Zhang and reported the situation of the battle.
"Zhang Wei ran away?"
Although he had expected this result, Liu Zhang was still a little disappointed. If he captured Zhang Wei, he might be able to capture Zitong in one fell swoop.
Zhao Yun nodded, he had searched carefully countless times.
"Lord, Zhang Wei has disappeared long ago."
"Forget it, let's keep him alive for now."
After all, Zhang Wei's legs are on his body, so Liu Zhang cannot restrain him from escaping. The harvest this time has been huge. With Jiameng Pass under control, Liu Zhang will have to listen to Liu Zhang's orders for future offense and defense!
"Thunder Iron?"
Liu Zhang was more interested in this general, and it also reminded him of a person, Lei Tong!
"The defeated general, pay homage to General Wei."
Lei Tie was not too harsh. In fact, from their point of view, this war was purely Liu Yan's family affair and not an invasion by outsiders.
"Who are you, Thunder Copper?"
"General Wei knows about my brother?"
Seeing Lei Tie's astonished expression, Liu Zhang also confirmed the identity of Lei Tie. Sure enough, there is no ordinary person who can serve as an official or general in Yizhou!
Thunder Iron Thunder Copper...
Liu Zhang laughed in his heart, not knowing who named these two brothers!
"You know something, your brother is quite brave, right?"
Lei Tie nodded, confirming Liu Zhang's words.
Of the two brothers of the Lei family, Lei Tong is known for his bravery, while Lei Tie is known for his stability.
"Will you surrender to me?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang directly persuaded him to surrender without saying anything, which shocked Lei Tie.
"this..."
Lei Tie did not bow down and bowed, his face was full of confusion. Liu Zhang was well-known and must be a rare wise master! But with one county fighting the entire Yizhou, the outcome is uncertain!
If Lei Tie surrenders to Liu Zhang today, Liu Zhang will probably be buried with him when he is defeated in the future!
"Lei Tie, the imperial court has already issued an edict, appointing this general to be the shepherd of Yizhou. Now the situation in Yizhou is unclear. Shu County, Guanghan County and even Ba County are all at risk of being controlled by Zhang Lu. This general will raise troops first.
The imperial court ordered me to do so, and I had no choice but to do so."
Lei Tie is not very important to Liu Zhang. Of course, such a rigorous general would be better, and it would not be a pity if he did not have it. What Liu Zhang values more is the Lei family of Guanghan!
Seeing that Lei Tie was still hesitant, Liu Zhang spoke again to persuade him.
"Lei Tie, now that Jiameng Pass and Baishui Pass are both under my command, whose rule do you think this county of Guanghan will fall under?"
Liu Zhang's words were like an enlightenment that awakened Lei Tie and made him understand immediately!
Although Shu County is connected to the vassal state of Guanghan, it is separated by mountains and there is no access at all! Hanzhong County, which is currently connected to the vassal state of Guanghan, as well as Yanhou Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass in Guanghan County are all under Liu Zhang's rule, which means that the vassal state of Guanghan is under the rule of Liu Zhang.
The land of a county has become Liu Zhang's palm! Liu Zhang can directly send troops to occupy it at any time!
"Lei Tie is willing to surrender to General Wei!"
Lei Tie no longer hesitated and knelt directly on the ground, bowing at Liu Zhang's feet.
