Chapter 109: Losing Yang'an Pass
It was the five thousand elite soldiers led by the Wei general Hu Lie, who had already lurked outside the south gate of Yang'an Pass. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the city, and seeing that the third watch was approaching, Hu Lie couldn't help but be secretly suspicious.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of fighting in Yang'an Guancheng, and Hu Lie secretly said, it must be the silver fox and Jiang Shu who missed! So Hu Lie made a quick decision and immediately launched an attack on the south gate of Yang'an Pass.
The difficulty of attacking the city at night is definitely greater than that during the day, but in the same way, the view of the defending city is blocked, and the difficulty of defense is also increased exponentially, and for both the offensive and defensive sides, it is actually equal. Although there were not many men and horses under the command of Hu Lie, only 5,000, these 5,000 people were all elite soldiers, and with an order, all of them rushed to Yang'an Pass like a tide.
In the darkness, fortifications such as traps and horse rejection can be said to be powerful, causing great damage to the Wei soldiers, and even many Wei soldiers tripped and fell to the ground without paying attention to their feet, and they had no chance to get up again, and were trampled into flesh by the Wei soldiers who swarmed behind.
No one paid attention to the groaning of life beneath their feet, and under the cover of night, the Wei army began to set up ladders and climb frantically towards the city walls.
The patrol guarding the city quickly found the Wei army that came to sneak attack, and after a sharp bang, the Shu army defending the city immediately threw itself into the first line of defense, and countless torches illuminated the city wall like day, and arrows rained down.
However, most of these arrows are blindly diffused, after all, they can't see the situation under the city at all now, and no one knows how many Wei soldiers are attacking the city, in this case, the only way is to maintain the density of arrows, so that the Wei soldiers don't have a chance.
The defenders of Yang'an Pass have a total of 7,000 people, after three days of fierce fighting, at least more than 1,000 people were killed or wounded, and now Jiang Shu rebelled with more than 1,000 people, so the defenders of Yang'an Pass are now only four or five thousand people, and these four or five thousand people are stationed at the four city gates, and the defenders on the south gate are about 1,000 at best. If it is daytime, after determining the main direction of the Wei army, the Shu army at the other city gates can support it, but now in the middle of the night, no one can figure out whether the Wei army is a strong attack or a feint, and the Shu army at the other city gates cannot be reinforced for a while. At the south gate, the Wei army formed a situation of fighting more and less, coupled with Jiang Shu's rebels in the city, attacking inside and outside, the situation was very unfavorable to the Shu army.
After Jiang Shu's defeat, the silver fox did not rush to organize a counterattack, but ordered the rebels to set fire everywhere in Yang'an Guancheng, and for a while, the flames soared into the sky and thick smoke billowed out.
Silver Fox's trick is quite clever, arson in the city, not only can create chaos, so that Fu Yi can take care of one or the other, but also through the fire to repay Hu Lie, they have already taken action in the city.
Hu Lie saw the fire in the city outside the city, and knew that Jiang Shu's rebels had attacked near the south gate, so he immediately ordered to increase the intensity of the attack, and ordered hundreds of soldiers to lift a huge tree trunk and crash towards the city gate.
Fu Yi was indeed in a dilemma, his mobile forces were limited, and he wanted to extinguish Jiang Shu's rebellion and reinforce the defenders at the south gate to resist the attack of the Wei army, which was really stretched.
Although Jiang Shu's rebels were in a mess, they set fire everywhere in the city and deliberately created chaos, which was still a problem that could not be ignored, and the rebels must be extinguished quickly so that the Shu army could concentrate its forces against the Wei army.
But the situation in Yang'an Pass is already chaotic, no matter how powerful Fu Tong has at this time, it is impossible to save the chaos, the offensive of the Wei army is quite fierce, and the defenders of the south gate have gradually shown their exhaustion. And Jiang Shu's rebels are becoming more and more rampant at this moment, burning, killing and looting, which has the meaning of completely muddying the water.
As soon as Fu Tong ordered the defenders in the east, west and north to be transferred over to reinforce the south gate, he received the news that the south gate was broken by the Wei army. He rode first and ran toward the south gate.
The Shu army guarding the south gate had been defeated, and the Wei army was pouring into the south gate like a tide at this moment, mercilessly pursuing the fleeing Shu army.
Fu Yan was furious, the spear was like a dragon out of the water, and it pierced through the chest of the Wei soldier who rushed to the front at once, and the tip of the spear pierced out of the back, and its momentum did not decrease, and it penetrated two Wei soldiers in a row.
But no matter how brave Fu He was, he couldn't stop the tide of Wei soldiers. The Chinese army hurriedly advised: "The enemy is strong, the governor must not fall in love with the war, so withdraw quickly." ”
Fu Yi had no choice but to retreat.
As soon as he withdrew, he bumped into Jiang Shu head-on. At this time, the Wei army had broken through the city, Jiang Shu was in high spirits, and when he saw Fu He retreating, he was bullied and lonely, and immediately stepped forward to block Fu Yan's retreat.
Jiang Shu is narrow-minded, since he moved to Yang'an Pass, he is very angry about succumbing to Fu Tong's hands, even if Fu Tong's normal exercise of power makes Jiang Shu think that it is aimed at him everywhere, for a long time, he has a grudge against Fu Bai, this time there is a chance to fall into the well, how Jiang Shu is willing to let Fu Tong get away easily.
Fu Yan's eyes, but there was a raging anger, today's Yang'an Pass is lost, ninety percent of the reason is Jiang Shu's rebellion, if there is no Jiang Shu in Yang'an Pass to make waves to create chaos, the Wei army has no chance to break through the city anyway, Fu Yan can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and now Jiang Shu is stopped in front of him, how not to make him angry.
When the enemy saw him, his eyes were extremely red, Fu Yan roared in a low voice, and the spear pierced the sun like a white rainbow, stabbing at Jiang Shu with a thunderous momentum.
Jiang Shu on the opposite side was shocked by Fu Yan's violent momentum, he never thought that Fu Yan in a violent state could burst out with force several times stronger than usual, and this fatal shot came so violently and so quickly. Jiang Shu panicked, he couldn't block this shot at all, and just wanted to turn his horse and flee back, but it was too late, and the iron spear pierced through the back of his heart and penetrated through his chest.
Jiang Shu's mouth was cold, his mind was blank, at this time, he really regretted it, seeing that the endless glory and wealth were about to arrive, but his brain twitched, and he actually hit the muzzle of the evil star.
Wealth is like a cloud, gradually transforming in front of his eyes, Jiang Shu wanted to reach out to catch it, but he didn't have the strength to raise his arm......
Yang'an Pass was caught in a fire, the flames soared into the sky, and under the dark night sky, it looked extraordinarily brilliant.
A disorganized army escaped from Yang'an Pass and retreated in the direction of Baishui Pass.
