Chapter 954: Fierce Battle under the Reed Ze Pass

The wall of the reed pass is built on this narrow passage, the throat of the two states of Shanxi and Hebei is divided into two, on both sides is the Taihang Mountain, which is absolutely impossible to climb, the only thing that wants to take the reed pass is to attack from the east or west, and there is no shortcut to find it at all.

After the Jin army attacked the city, the entire battle completely fell into a fierce battle, and the Jin army resolutely launched an attack on Weize Pass under the pressure of the death of countless soldiers.

If the Jin army can win the Weize Pass, it is bound to completely reverse the unfavorable situation since the start of the war last autumn, so as to set an example for the complete elimination of the Shu army.

This battle of Weize Pass is a crucial link for both sides, and since the war starts, there is no reason to retreat.

The cold weather and the rock-solid wall were two huge obstacles that were insurmountable in front of Qi Hong. Attacking the city of Weize Pass, the defense of the Shu army became more and more tough, not only bows and arrows, but also rolling logs and stones were dense like rain, rolling logs, pieces of stones, roaring, so that the attacking Jin army was suffering.

When the Shu army conquered Weize Pass last year, it was very easy, after all, the Shu army had a powerful weapon of firearms, and its deterrent effect made any defender frightened. It is not surprising that the Shu army took the Weize Pass in the easiest way possible.

And now, the Jin army is in the same position, it is much more difficult, Qi Hong has no choice but to use the tactics of crowds, take advantage of the numerical advantage, and use continuous attacks to drag down the will of the defenders.

After the first round of attack was repulsed, Qi Hong did not hesitate to put the follow-up soldiers and horses up, the terrain of Weize Pass is narrow, can not accommodate so many Shu troops to attack at the same time, but Qi Hong took advantage of this, the Jin army of more than 20,000 people gathered into ten squares, each phalanx of 2,000 people, took turns to attack Weize Pass.

If it was just one or two Jin troops, they would not be able to shake the defense of Wei Ze Pass, but ten teams were different, they attacked in turns, and always maintained enough pressure on the walls of Wei Ze Pass, even if the Shu army was strong, but in the face of the tireless attack of the Jin army, they would still be tired of coping.

Under the entire city of Weize Pass, the corpses are piled up, if it is not for the high enough city wall of Weize Pass, the Jin army can climb the city head with the corpses of their compatriots.

But the cost of casualties of the Shu army is not small, in order to cover the siege of the troops, Qi Hong also mobilized a large number of archers, and used a dense salvo under the city to counter-suppress the Shu army in the city, and the same dense arrow rain also caused a considerable degree of loss to the Shu army defending the city.

Since the morning, the Jin army's attack has not stopped for a moment, and the Jin army's breakfast is still in the shift when they eat some dry food early and will pass.

This continuous offensive mode, for both sides, is a great test, although the Jin army has a large number of soldiers, but the days of arduous marching, has made it tired, and then insist on fighting, the Jin army can only be more and more tired, even if it is a shift attack, it seems that it can not return to the state when the Jin army is at its peak.

also saw that the red sun was about to sink, the winter was short, and the long and unbearable dark night was coming, and the Jin army was sleepy and tired, and gradually felt exhausted.

The adjutant general suggested to Qi Hong: "General Qi, our army is extremely tired, why don't you retreat and camp first, and then attack tomorrow?" ”

"!" Qi Hong said categorically, "The reinforcements of the Shu people may arrive at any time, if we can't take the Weize Pass, once the reinforcements of the Shu army arrive, there will be no chance." In any case, this offensive must not stop! ”

Qi Hong knew that the state of the Jin army at this time had indeed reached the point of the end of the strong crossbow, but the Jin army was difficult, so wouldn't it be difficult for the Shu army guarding the pass?

When it comes to this part, it is not simply a contest of strength, but more of a contest of will, and the comparison is to see who will fall first.

Now the Jin army is completely racing against time, no matter how difficult it is, he has to grit his teeth and persevere. Qi Hong ordered the Jin army to light torches and continue to attack the city.

The battle lasted for a day, Feng Chong has been commanding the army to guard the front line, in the face of flying arrows, Feng Chong held on and swore to defend the Weize Pass.

But the sky is dark, but the offensive of the Jin army has not weakened, looking at the stars outside the city, the fire all over the mountains, Feng Chong has a trace of wavering, and if he continues to fight, I don't know if the casualties of the Shu army can withstand it.

The brilliance of the torches illuminates the cold night as white as day, and these horses of the Jin army have no signs of stopping at all, but there are still different degrees of rest opportunities between the various squads of the Jin army who take turns to replace the guards, and a short rest is still of great help to the recovery of the Jin army's physical strength and energy.

But the defenders of the Shu army did not have such a chance, after all, the number of the Shu army was at a disadvantage, and the proportion of casualties was also amazing after a day of fighting, if the Shu army also rested in shifts like the Jin army at this moment, then the already pitiful army was even worse, and many positions would be unmanned, and this was undoubtedly fatal.

Now Feng Chong is facing Qi Hong, who is playing like a mad dog, all he can do is to persevere, but Feng Chong has already reported the military situation on the side of Wei Ze Pass to Liu Yin in Jizhou at the first time, and believes that the reinforcements of the Shu army will arrive soon, and once the reinforcements arrive, the situation in the entire Wei Ze Pass will be reversed.

It was another sleepless night, when the fire on the torches was extinguished, the east was already showing the white of the fish's belly, the weather was still very cold in the early morning, and the ground and the walls, including the armor of the soldiers on both sides, condensed into white frost, and many soldiers shivered in the cold wind of the early morning.

This night, the Jin army has tried many attacks, but has never been able to break through the defense line of the Shu army, the tenacity of the Shu army, greatly surprised Qi Hong, take turns to attack, the Jin army has already paid a considerable price, if today can no longer take the Wei Ze Pass, then the Jin army's strategic plan will suffer a serious setback, the other routes of the march are likely to be forced to cancel, the situation of the entire state from the beginning is not smooth.

Such a result, Qi Hong was far from satisfied, after dawn, the Jin army's offensive returned to a strong state, Qi Hong requested, no matter what, today must knock on the door of Wei Ze Pass!
