Chapter 455: Zhao Yun attacks the pass
The merchant was suddenly anxious, and stepped forward and said: "General, there are two carriages outside the pass, these carriages are full of fine Jin wine, if the general is willing to let these carriages enter the customs, the grass people are willing to give all the Jin wine in one carriage to the general." ”
Looking at the merchant's painful appearance, the generals were also excited, Jin wine is a pot of ten thousand dollars, for these generals, they can only talk about how delicious Jin wine is when they brag, and the Jin wine in a carriage is of immeasurable value.
The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, and the generals seemed to have made great determination to urge the carriages to hurry into the city.
Pei Yan saw that the gate had not been closed for a long time, and sent soldiers to the gate, but these carriages that entered the gate blocked the gate, even if he was anxious, he was helpless.
"Summon, gather five hundred archers." Pei Yan had a bad feeling, mainly from the faces of these caravan guards, he didn't feel fear, if it was an ordinary guard, when he heard the enemy coming, his first reaction was probably to run away, and after these guards entered the Huguan, they didn't leave in a hurry, all of this revealed weirdness, and suddenly Pei Yan thought of a possibility, the people of these caravans were dressed up as people from Bingzhou, and the reason why they were blocked in the pass was to wait for the arrival of the Bingzhou army, and they only needed to occupy the gate, even if there were more soldiers and horses in the city.
"The general has an order, and if the city gate is not closed, military law will be conducted!" One of Pei Yan's personal guards finally squeezed to the gate and shouted.
"Close the gates!" The general looked at a carriage that had not yet entered the pass, showing a look of unbearability, he understood the truth of the military order, the enemy's cavalry was coming soon, and if it was not closed, it was very likely that he would die, although they had not fought with the state army, but they had heard of the strength of the state army.
At this moment, more than 20 guards who entered the gate glanced at each other and moved closer to the direction of the gate.
One of the guards dodged one of the soldier's ring-headed knives and slashed with his sword, and the soldier looked at the caravan's guards in disbelief and slowly fell.
The mutation in the gate caused the gatekeeper to panic and shout, "Kill these guards." ”
At this time, there were about fifty defenders at the gate, although there were hundreds of Pei Yan's people in their rear, but the road was blocked by carriages, and these guards were obviously well-trained, three guards held blades and kept killing, while the rest of the guards kept picking up blades from the ground to join the battle, and the defenders suffered a lot of casualties.
When Pei Yan heard the battle at the city gate, his face changed greatly, and five hundred archers also came quickly.
Under the charge of the guards regardless of the casualties, they finally approached the gate, and the closed door slowly opened, and the general had already seen the cold blade of the Bingzhou cavalry.
A white-robed young general, armed with a bright silver gun, stabbed the general guarding the door to death with that sharp shot.
Without the command of the generals, the gate was thrown into chaos, more and more defenders were killed, and control of the gate fell into the hands of cavalry and guards.
"Get the carriage out of the way." Zhao Yun shouted, it was very difficult to capture the Kei Pass by surprise, although these guards successfully blocked Pei Yan's army in the pass, but it was also difficult for the cavalry of the state to enter the pass.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Pei Yan's mouth, and he shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
The archers, who were ready to attack, mounted their bows and arrows one after another, and shot deadly arrows.
The gate was narrow, and the guards and cavalry who couldn't dodge suffered heavy casualties, but the archers under Pei Yan's command kept shooting arrows.
"Get out of the way!" Pei Yan shouted.
The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to move the carriage away, and in front of them was a death zone intertwined with arrows.
The spear in Zhao Yun's hand waved, and several arrows were removed, but the guards and five cavalrymen fell under the rain of arrows, and the archers on the opposite side of the carriage at this time seemed to be deadly.
In the face of such a scene, Zhao Yun is also helpless, even if the flying cavalry he led has all kinds of ability, in the face of the enemy's continuous arrows, he can only passively defend, as for counterattacking with bows and arrows, the enemy has more archers, the gate is not very wide, and more cavalry cannot be allowed to enter the pass, so that the cavalry has become a target on the battlefield.
The soldiers in the pass kept cleaning the carriages, and Pei Yan led five hundred archers to press forward step by step, forcing the cavalry of the state out of the pass step by step.
The city gate was finally closed, Pei Yan put his mind at ease, this time it was too dangerous, and if he was not careful, he was seized by the state.
"Lord, his subordinates are incompetent and have failed to capture Jiguan." Zhao Yun hugged his fists with a look of shame.
Lu Bu was relieved: "Zilong doesn't need to go to his heart, it is very difficult to capture Jiguan, if you are not careful, you will not succeed, Pei Yan, the guard of Jiguan, is cautious by nature, and when the army arrives, he will break through Jiguan with a dignified and upright army." "For the failure to succeed in the raid on Keiguan, Lu Bu also has some regrets.
Kei Pass is dangerous, Pei Yan is a very cautious person, encounter such a person to stick to Kei Pass, unless it is broken from the inside, otherwise if you want to break through Kei Pass, how easy it is to say, let the caravan raid Kei Pass, but also with the idea of fighting, if the later cavalry can cause large casualties to the guards of Ji Pass in a short period of time, it is not impossible to occupy Ji Pass, but Pei Yan led five hundred archers, in the narrow gate, became a deadly existence, even if there are thousands of troops outside, it is difficult to rush in in a short time.
Seeing the retreat of the cavalry outside the pass, Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, the general guarding the city gate had died in the chaos, otherwise Pei Yan would definitely engage in military law, it was precisely because the guards did not close the city gate in time and were not vigilant enough that there was a danger of Fang Cai. “
"Order, no one is allowed to enter and leave the Kei Pass, the city is strictly inspected for the young, and if the enemy army is found to be meticulous, it can be cut first and then played." Pei Yan ordered.
Bundles of arrows were transported to the Jiguan, and the sassal wood and rolling stones were piled up densely, Pei Yan wanted to use these things to tell the Bingzhou army that if he wanted to board the Jiguan, he would have to pay a heavy price, and the Jiguan was originally an important checkpoint to protect Luoyang, and the city was thick with high walls, although it was not as good as the Bishui Pass and the Tiger Prison Pass, but it was also extremely dangerous.
"General, there are about 30,000 people in the Bingzhou army outside the Guan, and they are camping outside the Guan, and the Bingzhou Army has 1,000 cavalry, fighting outside the Guan." The lieutenant said in a low voice.
Pei Yan snorted coldly: "Don't say that there are 30,000 people in the Bingzhou army, even if there are 50,000 people, they don't want to enter Jiguan, and they strictly order that the soldiers are not allowed to go out of the city to face the battle." ”
It was very lively under the Kei Pass, and the scolding of the state army was very high, and thousands of people scolded in unison, not to mention how spectacular the scene was, and the response of the defenders was relatively much weaker.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards!
