"Formation!" A loud shout rang out, and the three thousand trapped camps at Hangu Pass formed their formations at the gate as quickly as possible. As the leader of the trapped camp, Gao Shun stood in front of the female wall, staring at the army outside the pass.
Originally, according to intelligence, the coalition forces would have to wait at least ten days before reaching Hangu Pass, and reinforcements from Chang'an would not arrive until three days at the earliest. Unexpectedly, the coalition forces made a surprise attack! Look at the size of the coalition forces outside the pass.
, there are at least 20,000, this is a fierce battle!
Gao Shun's eyes narrowed to a slit, but there was no fear on his face. Under his feet, there was Hangu Pass, which is said to be a pass that cannot be opened by one man! Gao Shun has been stationed here for nearly ten years.
After Gao Shun led the trapped camp to Hangu Pass, no one could break through this pass, not before, and never will in the future! Gao Shun snorted coldly, pulled out the saber from his waist, raised it high, and shouted
: "The whole army enters the defensive position! The arrow tower is in place!"
As Gao Shun's order was shouted, there was no movement in the three thousand trapped camp behind Gao Shun, but the soldiers who had been guarding behind the trapped camp immediately separated part of them, and followed Gao Shun's order to enter the four buildings built by Guan Guan.
Towering arrow tower!
There were no these four arrow towers in the original Hangu Pass. Before Luo Yang entered the pass, Xu Rong completely destroyed the original Hangu Pass in order to hinder Luo Yang's march. Later, Gao Shun followed Luo Yang's order to guard Hangu.
Pass, and then rebuilt Hangu Pass again. During the construction, the Mohist disciples who took refuge in Luoyang also provided a lot of help to Gao Shun. These four arrow towers were created by the Mohist disciples!
The arrow towers built by Mohist disciples are naturally very different from the arrow towers on ordinary city walls. Hangu Pass is built on the mountain, between two mountain ranges, and the terrain is extremely narrow. This is why Hangu Pass can become a strange pass in the world.
!The newly built Hangu Pass is in a concave shape. Both sides of the pass wall protrude forward against the mountains, while the gate shrinks backward. This makes it more difficult to tackle the pass. And the four arrow towers are located respectively.
The walls on both sides of Hangu Pass! I don’t know what method the Mohist disciples used to make the four arrow towers tower into the clouds while leaning forward in an arc, further increasing the height of the arrow towers.
Attack range!
The trapped camp is composed exclusively of sword and ax soldiers. This has been the case since the time when Ding Yuan was still under Ding Yuan. Since ten years ago, the trapped camp has never expanded and has always maintained a strength of three thousand people. And those who were captured
The soldiers Gao Shun sent to the arrow tower were actually soldiers of the Mao Ren Army, one of the four legions under Luo Yang. In addition to Mao Ren Qingqi and the trap camp, some of the Mao Ren Army were recruited from Yizhou.
The soldiers who came over. After Luoyang captured Chang'an, they were rewarded by the emperor, and the Maobian Qingqi began to form an independent army, and the remaining Maobian army followed Gao Shun to Hangu Pass to garrison. In these years, Gao Shun simply
Adapt half of the nearly 5,000-strong Marauder Army into archers. After all, in the battle of guarding the gate, the role of archers is indispensable! And more than 2,000 archers are equipped with these four reinforced
The arrow tower also provided a strong guarantee for Gao Shun to guard Hangu Pass!
Outside the pass, when the coalition forces saw that the enemies at Hangu Pass were well prepared, they gave up their plan to raid Hangu Pass and began to form a formation outside the pass. In front of the military formation, three generals rode horses and stared at Hangu Pass in front of them.
Everyone in Guguan frowned.
"Tsk!" Sun Ce, the Lion of Jiangdong, snorted dissatisfiedly. He was obviously unhappy that the purpose of this raid was not achieved. He waved the Overlord Spear in his hand vigorously and snorted: "Damn! It seems that we still have to carry out a tough battle.
!" This kind of offensive and defensive battle is Sun Ce's least favorite way of fighting, because as a general, he can rarely exert his power in this kind of battle and can only command from the rear.
"General Sun! Don't be impatient!" On Sun Ce's left was Cao Ren, Cao Cao's younger brother. Cao Ren was known as a wise general, and his temperament was naturally much calmer than that of Sun Ce. Seeing that Sun Ce seemed a little anxious, Cao Ren
He quickly said: "Although the surprise attack failed, we still have the advantage of troops! According to the intelligence, Luoyang's reinforcements will not arrive until three days at the earliest! We still have three days. If we can storm Hangu Pass, then this
This plan is still considered a success!”
Of course Sun Ce understood what Cao Ren said. Sun Ce was just unwilling to miss a good opportunity. He nodded and said to Cao Ren: "General Cao! I'm not good at this kind of marching command. I'm not as good at it."
Let General Cao be in charge of commanding the army!" Sun Ce was certainly a bit modest when he said this, but in terms of carefulness and prudence, Sun Ce is indeed not as good as Cao Ren, and his opponent is the famous Gao Shun. This kind of detailed work should be left to Cao Ren.
More appropriate.
"Huh!" A cold snort came from the other side of Sun Ce, but this person was Yan Gang, Gongsun Zan's general! Back then, Gongsun Zan sent Yan Gang to lead Shan Jing's army to attack Yanzhou, but he fell into Xu Shu's plan.
The whole army ended up being wiped out, and Yan Gang had to escape death to return to Gongsun Zan alive. Therefore, Yan Gang hated Cao Cao deeply. If Gongsun Zan had not agreed to the alliance this time, how could Yan Gang have fought with Cao Cao's troops?
Fighting side by side? And just heard that Sun Ce actually handed over the command of the army to Cao Ren. Naturally, Yan Gang became more and more dissatisfied. He shouted in a cold voice: "General Sun! There are only seven or eight thousand people in Hangu Pass at most! We are
There are more than 20,000 people! What else do you need to think about? Just attack by force!"
After hearing Yan Gang's words, Sun Ce and Cao Ren couldn't help but frown. Yan Gang's abilities were obviously not on the same level as those of Sun Ce and Cao Ren. Originally, it was not Yan Gang's turn to participate in the raid on Hangu Pass.
. But now the four princes have joined forces, and in order to speed up the march, they have to rely on Gongsun Zan's white horse followers, so it is unjustifiable not to let Gongsun Zan send people in. Now that everyone is riding in the same boat, Sun Ce can't be with Yan Gang
The quarrel was too tense and he said in a deep voice: "General Yan, Gao Shun, the guard of Hangu Pass, is a famous general. He is best at attacking tough battles! You must not underestimate this person! Besides, this Hangu Pass is a wonder in the world.
Pass, the defensive ability is extremely strong, even if our army has the advantage in strength, it is better to be careful!"
Sun Ce's words had no effect, and Yan Gang was obviously still a little unconvinced. However, this raid on Hangu Pass showed that Sun Ce was the chief general, and Yan Gang and Cao Ren were both deputy generals. Moreover, Sun Ce's status was not low.
, is the eldest son of Sun Jian. No matter how arrogant Yan Gang is, he does not dare to offend Sun Ce. At that moment, he can only snort and say: "In this case, this battle will definitely not require our white horse Yi Cong! Then I will go down and rest for now.
Got it!"
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Yan Gang was about to leave in anger, Cao Ren immediately called out to Yan Gang and said: "General Yan, Baima Yicong can't leave yet! Look, the four Hangu Pass buildings rebuilt in Luoyang
Arrow tower! In order to ensure that our army can attack Hangu Pass, a large number of archers must suppress these two arrow towers! The white horse is good at riding and shooting! It is the best choice to carry out this mission!"
As soon as Cao Ren opened his mouth, Yan Gang became angry and flatly refused: "No! How can there be any reason to use cavalry to attack the city? Isn't it in vain that the white horse Yi Cong died? Cao Ren! What are your intentions?
!”
Cao Ren was stunned by Yan Gang's sudden shouting, but he said helplessly: "General Yan! Now our four-party alliance is all aimed at defeating the Western Qin Army! General Yan, please don't make assumptions! It's okay to misunderstand me.
Relationship, but if the opportunity to break through Hangu Pass is delayed, that will be a big deal!"
"No!" Yan Gang insisted on his opinion, waved his hand, and shouted: "It's useless no matter how many great principles you talk about! I only know that Marquis Yan gave Baima Yicong to me, not for you to
This place is used to hit the wall! Even if you talk like crazy, don’t let me just sit back and watch Baima’s sacrifice be in vain!”
Although Cao Ren is a calm man, he is a man who fights on the battlefield after all, and he is also a fiery person. Being rejected by Yan Gang so repeatedly, Cao Ren was angry, and even shouted angrily: "Yan Gang! I know you were because of that back then.
I hold a grudge against you! But what time is it now! How can you ignore public and private affairs? Just agree today! If you don't agree, hum!" After saying that, Cao Ren directly pulled out the single sword from his waist.
"Hmph!" Yan Gang was not to be outdone. He raised the spear and held it across his chest, shouting: "So what if I don't agree! You want to threaten me? You still think I'm afraid of you! Come on!"
"Okay! Stop arguing!" There was a loud shout, but Sun Ce rushed to the middle of the two of them, holding the Overlord gun in his chest directly, and shouted to the two people on the left and right: "Now the battle is about to begin!
You are still fighting among yourself here? What are you talking about!"
Sun Ce roared angrily, and the aura of a top warrior immediately burst out! Although Cao Ren can also be called Cao Cao's general, it is more reflected in his composure and resourcefulness. When it comes to martial arts, Cao Ren has the best
It can only be said that he has just reached the boundary of a first-class general, and Yan Gang on the other side is even worse! Being suppressed by Sun Ce's momentum, the two of them suddenly felt as if they were being pressed by a thousand-jin stone on their shoulders.
It was so overwhelming that they couldn't breathe, and the weapons in their hands were naturally put down.
"Huh!" Seeing that the two of them were suppressed, Sun Ce snorted coldly, and then slowly put away his momentum. As soon as Sun Ce's momentum subsided, the two of them suddenly felt the pressure on their shoulders lighten.
Only then could he breathe heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat, and at the same time he raised his head and looked at Sun Ce with horror on his face. Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Since the leader appointed me as the general, then you must all
Follow my instructions! If you don’t obey military orders, then don’t blame me for being rude! Do you understand?”
