Chapter 105: Dividing the Troops and Advancing [Adding Changes for the Helmsman 'Fan Minhan']

"Dignified Zhuojun Kenlang, Gongsun continues to kill your father, now is the opportunity for revenge!" The war made the handsome samurai rough at the fastest speed, Tai Shi Ci's hoarse voice roared roughly, brandishing the Han sword and ordering the sergeant to be at the front, "Don't retreat!" Look what the old pawns around you are doing! Pick up a bow and crossbow and shoot! ”

The whistling rain of arrows fired a volley from the head of Wuruan Pass, and the dense arrows shot down dozens of enemies again under the pass less than a hundred paces away, and the arrows everywhere brought a fluttering sound to the flesh, so that Gao Ran, who was holding the battlements on the gate, could not bear to look at it again.

It was not the White Horse Army that attacked the fortifications, these soldiers who were forced to rush forward again and again by the ring sword and spear were just a group of farmers who had just learned to use wooden sticks, and the narrow mountain road three miles long made it impossible for the attacking army to go to Nguyen Pass again and again to push out the hundred-man team and rush to the city with a suicidal offensive.

The battle had been going on for a whole day, and there were corpses all over the place...... In one day, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates launched more than 30 surprise attacks, and the corpses almost covered the entire mountain road, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere.

However, this may have caused less than one loss to the enemy.

The loss on Wuruan Pass was only a little, because even if the nearest enemy army was attacked, it was only enough to attack eighty paces away, not to mention that Gongsun Chan did not equip the attacking army with bows and crossbows...... Sergeant Gao's injuries were caused by several recruits who broke their feet.

Even so, no one can put their hearts at ease when they close the generals,

Wuruan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not a male pass, and even compared with those passes on the Shu Road, this pass standing at the southern gateway of Youzhou is a little too small. Because this pass does not have the ability to kill and damage enemy troops in large numbers.

"Tonight, you led a hundred soldiers out of the city, pushed those corpses forward a hundred paces, and soaked them in fire oil."

Gongsun Zhan's attack stopped, smoke rose in the mountains, Gao Ran watched the sky getting dark, and said to Tai Shici: "The corpses are placed here, and they can be piled up to one person's height tomorrow, and then they can't move if they want to." ”

"The general wants to burn the corpse?" Tai Shi Ci was not puzzled, but after a little hesitation, a fire would make the bones of those enemy soldiers who attacked the key positions gone, "Didn't Gongsun Chan collect their corpses?" ”

Gao Liang didn't speak, and Tai Shici also sighed softly, looking at Gongsun Zhan's appearance, it seemed that he really didn't plan to collect their corpses.

"Look at tomorrow, if Gongsun Chan and the elite soldiers break forward tomorrow, you can withdraw to the rear camp, and leave 2,000 soldiers at Wuruan Pass to guard it." Now that the enemy's combat strength is unknown, Gao Ran does not dare to easily let the elite soldiers withdraw, but this also delays the army and cannot rest for a long time, "The general wants me to wait for ten days to guard the pass, which is very difficult." By tomorrow, the enemy should be able to bring in siege ordnance. ”

Before Gao Ran's words were finished, with the sunset, the rumbling sound of heavy objects came from the enemy formation, and a shout was set off in an instant, and the enemy army once again attacked the fortification. Moreover, the siege armament came much earlier than Gao Ran imagined.

This time, there were a lot more enemy troops than before, and there were more than 300 people rushing from the mountain road, including soldiers wearing armor, and those who were the main force in the past are now carrying ladders and rams to move forward. Behind them, two large stone cannons slowly pushed up the mountain path, and finally stopped a hundred steps under the city pass. There were more than fifty soldiers operating the stone cannons, and as they moved, there was a tooth-sore sound on the battlefield.

Gongsun Zhan stood on the other side of the mountain road, straddling his hands on his waist, twisting his eyebrows and looking at the city pass, his heart relaxed.

This time, the enemy should be the main attack, right?

In fact, they were all feints, no matter how many troops Gongsun Chan invested in front of Wuruan Pass, all of them were feints. His aim was only to hold back the enemy army at Ngu Nguyen Pass. Gongsun Zan had heard of Gao Lan's name, and even once saw Gao Ran on the battlefield in western Liaoning.

Yanbei's right-hand man, Koji is good at attacking, and Gao is good at defending. Is it appropriate to bite a turtle shell?

Gongsun Chan didn't plan to attack Wuruan Pass at all. Daijun's Koji is good at attacking, so Gongsun Chan does not fight Daijun, and the guard of Wuruan Pass is Gao Ran, so Gongsun Chan does not plan to attack Wuruan Pass head-on, his light soldiers have jumped into Qingxu Mountain, and they have divided all the way to the east and north to cross Yishui, and the real army is not moving behind him.

He wanted his subordinates to turn the entire southern part of the city from Wuruan Pass, the westernmost part of Zhuo County, to Fangcheng, the easternmost area, as long as one of the soldiers and horses broke through and went around behind Gao Lan, and attacked on both sides...... Wu Ruan Guan will be good at guarding, how can he keep it?

Gongsun Chan didn't have any other ideas, he still had a lot of soldiers and horses stationed outside Qingxu Mountain, but after the transfer of troops, it was obviously not as many as the enemy thought it was, but he couldn't let Gao Ran know now that he had transferred the army, whether it was cooking smoke or what, it could make people perceive the true number of his soldiers and horses, so ...... He had to keep attacking the fortifications, and even if he killed and wounded 5,000 people a day, he still had countless troops fighting for him.

But as long as one of the two soldiers and horses leaps behind Gao Lan, Wuruan Pass will be captured by him.

The rumbling stone cannons rang out over the Wuruan Pass, and hundreds of light soldiers rushed towards the pass. Some of the soldiers defending the city were veterans who had participated in the assault on the city, and their stone cannons exploded outside the city, and the Goguryeo soldiers defending the city hid like lost dogs.

In the blink of an eye, large flying rocks smashed against the shut, and they finally knew what it was like to be attacked by stone cannons.

Stone cannons, bows and crossbows, people should not make such weapons that mock courage. Not to mention that there are two stone cannons under the gate, even if there is only one, it is enough to deter a thousand people.

The accuracy of this thing is too poor, no one knows where the stone will fall, the defenders of the entire pass all fled when the stone cannon flew, and what shield weapon, even made of stainless steel, is difficult to resist the fall of dozens of catties of flying stones, but people know that they will die if they are hit, or try all their best to dodge...... The defenders on the pass did enough work, but the two flying stones seemed to have eyes, and they crossed the pass and smashed into the middle of several soldiers resting around a cauldron in the pass.

Bang!

The fire was shining and the blood was spraying, and a few old pawns who had been talking and laughing before were crushed into pulp!

The sergeant carrying the ladder took this opportunity to rush to the gate and take the top of the city...... The most brutal siege began.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Patches of arrows rained down the enemy troops on the offensive road, and with Gao Ran's order, the rolling stones, stones, stones, and oil that had been prepared for a long time all poured down in unison, and in the countless arrows and fires, nearly half of the besieging army was killed or wounded.

But...... A new round of attack had begun, and Gongsun Chan sent more troops to push and shove the wounded soldiers who had retreated, and they were wrapped up in the assault on Wuruan Pass. Immediately after, a second round of stone cannons, two stone shells bombarded the city walls.

At this moment, a scout came from behind him, whispering a word in Gao Yan's ear.

"General, what should I do, there are several enemy forces in Qingxu Mountain breaking through the mountain road!"
