Outside Hangu Pass, in front of the Zhao army formation and to the foot of the city wall, there are fragments of swords, guns, swords and halberds and arrows inserted obliquely. Please use... Visit this site. There are also potholes on the ground, and blood is everywhere.
The solid Hulao Pass city wall is also full of potholes and arrows. Small cracks are spread throughout the wall. The female wall above the city wall is also uneven and has different remaining.
The Zhao army sieges the city for two ripples, causing the entire wall to be filled with this strong bloody aura. Within the two ripples, the Zhao army did not attack the city, but the two sides consumed a lot of arrows and supplies.
During the two sieges, the Zhao army did not forcibly attack the city, but instead allowed the six soldiers under his command to take turns approaching the city wall. At the same time, the Zhao army covered the city with rain of arrows and crossbows, and ravaged the wall with catapults.
. After two rips, cracks appeared on many places on the tall walls, and the city walls were covered with scattered arrows and crossbows. Although the Han army occupied the advantage of the city walls, they were in terms of military strength, weapons and siege weapons.
The emperors were far inferior to the Zhao army. Therefore, when they came, they did not suffer much casualties to the Zhao army, which was almost comparable to the Zhao army's casualties to themselves.
You should know that this is the Zhao army siege, the Han army is defending the city, and Hangu Pass is a natural barrier. Theoretically, the Zhao army siege has greater casualties than the defending team. However,
Here, it is comparable, mainly because the Zhao army's siege equipment and powerful bows and crossbows suppressed the counterattacks of the defenders.
Fortunately, because Hangu Pass was attacked, the Tongguan defenders also sent 4,000 reinforcements on the afternoon of the first ri, so that the total strength of Hangu Pass reached about 13,000. Although in the battle between the two ri, the attack and defense were attacked and defended.
Both sides lost nearly two thousand people, but the troops at Hangu Pass did not decrease.
Even so, Zhang Ling, the guard general of Hangu Pass, was not at all happy, and his face became even more anxious. During the battle, the soldiers guarding the pass consumed arrows, crossbows and materials for the city guarding were not a small number, but the
The casualties of the Zhao army were not satisfactory. In addition to the fact that the Zhao army did not forcibly siege the city, the heavy armored infantry in front of the Zhao army and the shield guards also prevented the Han army from using its advantages to the greatest extent.
The most important thing is that there are not many large-scale equipment such as catapults and crossbows on Hangu Pass, and it can be said that there are almost no, which makes the large number of catapults and crossbows of the Zhao army very powerfully suppress the guards.
"General, Zhao Jun began to send letters of persuasion in the royal city again. The generals could not stop them at all. Some letters of persuasion have been secretly hidden by the soldiers. What should I do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling frowned. At the beginning of the siege, the Zhao army was exhorting the letter of surrender in the city. Because of the gap in military strength between the two sides and the powerful force of the Zhao army, Zhang Ling had to order all these letters of surrender to be confiscated. However,
, and in a row, some soldiers, especially those new recruits, were even more afraid of the Zhao army's attack. Therefore, many soldiers began to secretly hide the Zhao army's letter of persuasion, which made him feel extremely heavy.
If it was in Pingri, if the gap between the two sides was not big, Zhang Ling would naturally not be afraid. However, now the Hangu Pass defenders could hardly suppress the Zhao army outside the city, especially the Zhao army, which had nearly 100 catapults and numbers.
After the Baishu Crossbow Army formation appeared, the defenders in the city lost their initial fighting spirit. Therefore, this letter of persuading surrender was a huge blow to the morale of the defenders.
"Since we cannot stop it, we don't need to pay attention to it. Tell the soldiers that our reinforcements are moving towards this place, and the Zhao army outside the city cannot invade the pass. As for the so-called letter of persuading surrender, it is just the Zhao army.
Just want to dismantle our Han army's resistance, don't believe it." Zhang Ling rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "In addition, tell the soldiers that after repelling the Zhao army, all the soldiers of the army will be rewarded with ten silvers.
.
"Ah?" the deputy general smiled bitterly, "General, the soldiers of the army are promoted and rewarded? If it is possible to promote, but reward, does our Han army have so much money? Even if there is one, I am afraid that the king will not give it to you. If it is ri
back……"
Zhang Ling said in a low voice: "Then what do you think? Should we do it? Is it because we were conquered by the Zhao army? What we need to do now is to defend Hangu Pass. After the Zhao army outside the pass retreats, as for the reward,
Someone above is worried.”
"But... the superiors will naturally not take out this batch of money, I'm afraid you, General, then..."
"I don't care about so many things, and the two evils are more minor. Now Hangu Pass is in danger. If you don't take some measures, I'm afraid that the Zhao army will not attack. The defenders of Hangu Pass will be shocked by the Zhao army's powerful shock.
I collapsed. As for what I said after, I will say, I am a clear conscience."
"Then... General, what do you say about Chang'an? It's two ri, based on the distance between Chang'an and here, Lord Lin should send a rescue." Seeing Zhang Ling say this, the deputy general had to put aside the matter and turned to ask the reinforcements.
Something.
"Reinforcements?" Zhang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't expect reinforcements. Even if there are, they are young and strong organized from Chang'an. If they want to arrive here, it will be a few miles later. As for the war soldiers, I'm afraid they can't be transferred now.
.”
"What?" The deputy general and several generals and schoolmen suddenly became anxious, "General, Hangu Pass is in danger. How could Lord Lin not take advantage of reinforcements to support him? Isn't he afraid that Hangu Pass will be captured by Zhao's army? Once Hangu Pass is broken, he will go west
Chang'an is not far away."
"It's not that Lord Lin did not send reinforcements, but that Zhao troops are operating in the northwest of Chang'an. In contrast, we have Hangu Pass here to defend, while other places are even more difficult. However, Lord Lin also said that here,
He has reported the situation to the King of Jingnan. In addition, the army in Jingbei will also move northward to restrain the Zhao army in Dongyongzhou. Therefore, brothers, as long as we can persist for a period of time, not only will there be tens of thousands of youths
Assisted by Zhuang, tens of thousands of soldiers from Jingbei would also assist from him." Zhang Ling said this, in order to await the hearts of these generals and the generals.
"Report...My generals, the Zhao army outside the city has begun to attack the city again!"
…………
Jiangling Prefecture and the alliance of princes basically reached a certain agreement. The King of Shu and King Qi also let go of their disputes and worked together with King of Hanzhong and King of Luoyang to fight against Zhao. For this reason, King of Qi and King of Shu will reduce their borders on each other.
The defense of the land turned north to support the land of Xiyongzhou and Jingbei. In addition, reduce internal struggles between each other, turn the jingle to the governance and resumption of the jurisdiction, and hoard food, grass and supplies, etc.
Under the strong demand of the King of Hanzhong, even under the threat of throwing the King of West Yongzhou to Zhao, the King of Qi and the King of Shu finally agreed to support Jingbei and Xiyongzhou. Of course, in order to prevent the King of Shu from threatening Hanzhong and Xiyongzhou, the King of Hanzhong,
It asked the Shu army and Qi army to support food, supplies, money, and weapons, rather than sending troops directly to support Xiyongzhou. After all, the Shu army was too close to Xiyongzhou, but the Qi army did not give Xiyongzhou.
With borders, the King of Hanzhong could not use Qi army to check and balance the Shu army. In addition, the Shu army has not directly confronted the Zhao army now, and the gains and losses of the Xiyongzhou area are also crucial to the Shu army. Therefore, this is the Xiyongzhou area
If necessary, it will be supported by the Shu army.
In the north of Jing, the King of Hanzhong asked the Qi army and Shu army to send troops to support it. Because it was located in the middle of the southern princes, the Zhao army captured it, which was very threatening to the Qi army and Shu army. The King of Hanzhong also used it.
The King of Qi and Shu checked and balanced each other, so they asked both sides to send troops to garrison this place together to prevent the Zhao army.
However, just as the King of Hanzhong was discussing the details with the people of the Qi army and Shu army, Lin Shucheng's urgent letter of help was passed to the King of Hanzhong. Seeing the information in his hand, the King of Hanzhong was almost unbelievable. Hangu Pass was Zhao
The army launched a large-scale attack and was in danger. This news must not help but panic. You must know that once Hangu Pass is broken, the land of Chang'an will be directly under the tiger's teeth of the Zhao army. If Chang'an is gone, it will mean the west.
Yongzhou is gone. If Xiyongzhou is lost, what is the point of his alliance?
The King of Hanzhong, panicked, reported the situation to the King of Shu and the people of Qi, especially those of Shu, and immediately asked them to support Jingbei to restrain the Zhao army's army in Dong Yongzhou. The reason why the Shu army did not directly send troops to the west
Yongzhou, it was not that the King of Hanzhong was still afraid of the Shu army at this moment, but that the Shu army appeared in the Xiyongzhou area, but that the three auxiliary places in Chang'an were lost. The army went north from Jingzhou to further restrain Zhao.
Jun Lin Shucheng also said the same in his letter, pointing out the important things to the King of Hanzhong.
King Qi and King Shu also learned about the information about the Zhao State's operation. While they were shocked, they also felt a little scared. Both of them immediately agreed to the King of Hanzhong's request. At this moment, it was no longer the conditions they had with King of Hanzhong.
At that time, if Xi Yongzhou was lost, it would be no good for the southern princes.
Therefore, the King of Qi and Shu both hurriedly mobilized their troops and headed towards Jingbei, preparing to suppress Dong Yongzhou and let the Zhao army in Dong Yongzhou give up the attack on Xiyongzhou.
In addition to worrying about the situation in Xiyongzhou, I was also worried about the situation in Jingbei. To be more precise, he was even more worried about the situation in Luoyang. While Lin Shucheng asked for help from the King of Hanzhong, he also explained to him that the encounter with Hangu Pass was
The Zhao State attacked, and the land of Jingbei would definitely get news. The land of Jingbei would definitely be faster than the land of Chang'an to Jingnan. If the King of Hanzhong has not received the news from Jingbei, it would mean that the King of Luoyang would be
Something went wrong there.
Of course, Lin Lin Shucheng did not say that the Luoyang King had connections with Zhao State and would surrender to Zhao. After all, even Lin Shucheng would not believe that the Luoyang King would surrender to Zhao State. After all, the Luoyang King was not only the princes, but now, the Luoyang King is also
He was not forced to surrender by Zhao State.
What worried the King of Hanzhong was that there was indeed no news coming from Jingbei.
…………
The news of Zhao's army's journey was that the Luoyang King, located in Jingbei, received the news first than the Hanzhong King. However, he did not convey the information to the south, nor did he take the initiative to come forward to call for anything. Since then, the last time the Shu army envoy forced him to meet with him.
After the envoy of Zhao State, he had already given up his identity as the commander of the garrison of Jingbei to the Han army chief Qin Jiang. Now that the Zhao army is operating, he naturally ignores it. After all, the Zhao army attacked Xiyongzhou, not Jingbei.
It has to be said that the current Luoyang King is already dissatisfied with the Hanzhong King.
The King of Luoyang did get some news. After all, he was the person with the highest status in Jingbei, but he did not pass the news south. In the opinion of the King of Luoyang, he was also a prince in the same place, so why did he need to report it to others by himself.
information?
Therefore, when Qin Jiang learned that the Zhao army on the opposite side was attacking Hangu Pass, he didn't know what to do. When he attacked, not all the Zhao army on the opposite side went west, and in addition, it triggered a war with Zhao State.
, It was not his only one who could make the decision. Therefore, he discussed with the generals and schools of the coalition forces. At the same time, Qin Jiang did not know the details of the Hangu Pass, nor did he know that Hangu Pass was now difficult to resist Zhao's state.
Attacked.
However, at this time, the Han army generals and envoys were fine, and they all supported the attack. However, none of the Luo army generals and envoys made an opinion. Although the Luo army did not mean to oppose it, it also made Qin Jiang feel extremely difficult. Jingbeizhi
The local coalition forces are less than 50,000, of which 20,000 are Luo army and 30,000 are Han army. Although the Han army has the advantage, if you want to compete with the Zhao army on the opposite side, you still cannot do without Luo army, but you also need the King of Luoyang.
The instructions. After all, only the King of Luoyang can bear the responsibility of going to war with the Luo army.
What made Qin Jiang feel bitter was that when he found the Luoyang King to report the situation, the Luoyang King told him coldly that in order to avoid suspicion, he no longer paid attention to the war with Zhao State, and in addition, he was no longer from Jingbei.
The commander is the commander. In this Jingbei land, you, General Qin, are naturally responsible for it.
Qin Jiang felt deeply regretful of his dissatisfaction, regretting that he had put on airs in front of the King of Luoyang, so that the situation reached this point that he could not move forward or retreat.
It is also because of this, and he was not sure about the situation at Hangu Pass that Qinjiang did not march north. It was not until the order of the King of Hanzhong in Jingnan that he began to mobilize his troops and advance northward. At this moment,
The Zhao army in the north also recruited a large number of young and strong men, prepared for a war, and in various places, they also prepared to resist the Jingbei army.
Outside Hangu Pass, Zhao army camp.
"General, for these five rifts, our new soldiers have undergone the iron-blooded test and have become a qualified soldier. As for the Han army guarding the city, they have almost lost their arrows and crossbows.
It is because our army's archers, crossbow archers arrays, bed crossbows and catapults arrays have already made the Han army frightened. Can we start a strong attack now?"
Zhao Xiong looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Okay, according to the news from Feiying Guard, the land of Chang'an, under the organization of Lin Shucheng of the Han army, has already brought up nearly ten thousand young and strong people and is rushing here.
And in the north of Jing, the Zhao army seemed to have taken action. Therefore, our siege operation should be implemented."
"It's a pity that if the governor hadn't asked that the sky-shaking thunder could not be used, we would have exploded the Hangu Pass directly."
Zhao Xiong smiled and said, "It is not easy to explode this Hanguguan City, and it is not easy to waste a lot of thunder for this mere tube card. In addition, this tube card is not worth it.
It is also useful to us and cannot be destroyed in our hands because of this." In fact, the Zhao army in Dongyongzhou did not have too many thunderstorms in the hands of the sky. Even if he wanted to explode Hangu Pass, he was also a clever woman
It’s hard to cook without rice.
"But you don't need to worry. When the city is finally attacked, the thunder will still be thrown to the top of the city. At that time, the Han army in the pass will definitely have no fighting spirit and let us enter."
"Send the order and the army is ready for battle. We must take Hangu Pass within these two ri. From now on, the battle of siege will enter a close-killing situation."
Since the King of Hanzhong learned that Hangu Pass was attacked by the Zhao army, he had not been able to live in peace. At the same time, he had to worry about the situation in Luoyang. On one hand, he ordered the garrison originally located in Hanzhong to prevent the movement of Yizhou from north and support Xiyongzhou.
On the one hand, he sent an order to the chief generals of Jingbei to attack the Zhao army. In addition, he immediately ordered his secret guards to investigate the Zhao army's actions and the recent changes in the Luoyang King.
The King of Hanzhong, who did not dare to stay all the way, rushed to Nanyang Prefecture with a whip. After arriving at Nanyang Prefecture, he realized that the Zhao army did not all go west, but partly attacked Hangu Pass, partly stayed in Henan Prefecture to resist the attack of the coalition forces.
.Because the reinforcements of the Qi army and the Shu army had just set off and did not arrive at all, so the coalition forces of the Hanzhong King and the Luoyang King of Nanyang Prefecture were not enough to enter the territory of Dong Yongzhou.
When he arrived at Nanyang Prefecture, the King of Hanzhong realized that his elder brother, the King of Luoyang, ignored the battle situation in Nanyang Prefecture and Hangu Pass in the north. After understanding, he realized that the King of Luoyang was dissatisfied with the alliance between the princes and had already been dissatisfied with the condemnation of his own.
I have long ignored the Jingbei War.
What made the King of Hanzhong feel unacceptable was that the current King of Luoyang is very different from before. Before he could ask about the battle between King of Luoyang and Jingbei, after he arrived at Nanyang Prefecture, the King of Luoyang directly handed over all rights.
He went south and prepared to return to Xiangyang Prefecture.
"Brother, are you?" King Situ Fei of Hanzhong said with a look of surprise, "Now that Zhao State is under great action, it is the key time for Zhao State in our region. How can I leave easily?"
Situ Hao said indifferently: "Defend the Zhao army? You will be responsible for everything in Jingzhou. I have met the envoy of Zhao, so it is very inconvenient for this battle. In addition, my army has retreated from Jingnan.
, I also need to deal with it. As for the war in Jingbei, reinforcements from the Shu army and Qi army were all rushing here. Whether I was with me or not is the same."
After saying that, Situ Hao turned his head and said, "Lin Zixun, from now on, you will obey the military orders of the King of Hanzhong and resist the army of Zhao."
After handing over the Jingbei incident, Situ Hao left directly, which made Situ Fei prepare to ask why he did not report the situation to the south, nor could he speak. Seeing that Situ Hao was like this, the King of Hanzhong could only take over the Jingbei affairs.
After all, the Zhao army opposite is the key.
Situ Hao, who left Nanyang Prefecture, looked at the city of Nanyang Prefecture, and couldn't help but sneer: "Rescue Hangu Pass? Just because of you uneven princes? I lost Dong Yongzhou, but Xi Yongzhou.
You can't save it either. If you want to look down on me, no one can escape."
