Chapter 839: Battle Pot Pass

Liu Yuan didn't know how many times he had walked the road of Huguankou, but as soon as he entered the pass today, Liu Yuan felt creepy, and Sensen's chill came out from the bottom of his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This kind of chill has nothing to do with the weather, although it is early winter, Liu Yuan is wearing the most precious robe, and he should not feel the cold.

He looked up, the steep cliff wall was like a knife sharpening an axe, and the trees on the top of the mountain had lost their leaves, which looked very sparse, but from the angle where Liu Yuan was standing, there was no figure in sight. The whole hill at the mouth of the pot pass looks empty and lonely, and the winding and deep valley road is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

It stands to reason that this place is quite quiet, quiet without a trace of sound, but it is this quietness that makes Liu Yuan alert, because he feels that it is a little strange that it is quiet here.

"Command the armies, strengthen your vigilance, and be careful of ambushes!" Liu Yuan gave the order in a deep voice.

He knew very well that if the Shu army wanted to ambush, Huguan Pass was undoubtedly the most ideal ambush location, the mountains here were high and the roads were steep, and it was perfect for ambush warfare, so when passing through Huguan, Liu Yuan also had to be cautious to prevent a sneak attack by the Shu army.

Although it didn't seem to be anything abnormal, the speed of the Hun army's march slowed down, especially the vanguard troops, who were in good spirits and cautiously moved towards the Hukou Pass.

The attention of all the Hun soldiers was on it, if the Shu army set up an ambush, it would definitely be on the mountain, and as for the road in the pass, no one noticed anything abnormal.

Suddenly, a war horse neighed high, raised its front hooves high, lifted the Hun soldier on horseback, and slammed it to the ground.

The sudden situation made everyone's eyes focus here, but seeing that it was the war horse that was shocked, the others didn't care.

There are often situations where horses are startled, and there is nothing surprising, but the Hun soldier who sat on the ground howled in pain, which made the surrounding Hun soldiers look disdainful, who didn't let the horse fall, with such a big reaction?

The soldier got up from the ground and pouted his ass for everyone to see, and then everyone saw that there were two thistles-like things on his buttocks, and the Hun soldier's pants were already dripping with blood, no wonder he was in pain.

Everyone thought that he was just being stabbed by ordinary thorns, and they all laughed, but soon a soldier pulled out the thing, and the Huns found out that this thing was originally made of iron, and then realized that the situation was not good, and quickly reported it to Liu Yuan.

"Upside down?" Liu Yuan took it in his hand and said with a little surprise.

Liu Yuan is well-informed, and he actually recognizes this thing as an inverted horse nail, which has a great relationship with the fact that he has stayed in Luoyang for a long time. The cavalry of the Wei army has suffered the loss of the inverted horse nail, so the Wei side has a detailed record of the inverted horse nail, and Liu Yuan has also witnessed the real thing, and the things in front of him are the same as the inverted horse nails that he has seen before, and it should be undoubtedly produced by Shu.

Liu Yuan immediately ordered the Hun soldiers to seize the high ground on both sides, and at the same time ordered the infantry to clean up the inverted horse nails on the valley road.

Although the inverted horse nail will not be fatal, it will seriously delay the advance of the Hun army, and in this terrain between two mountains and one valley, it is easy to be ambushed, and if it cannot pass quickly, it is likely to be attacked by the enemy.

Liu Yuan ordered the Huns to seize the heights on both sides, with the intention of preventing the attack of the Shu army, but Liu Yuan was still a step late, just when the Huns were trying to climb the cliff, there was a huge rumbling sound on the top of the mountain, and the Huns looked up to see that the rolling logs with waist thickness rolled down from the top of the mountain, and they came down with the momentum of pulling withering and destroying, and the power was amazing.

Those Hun soldiers who climbed on the half-slope were the first to suffer, and when they saw the rolling logs falling, their first thought was to turn around and want to run, but those rolling logs were extremely fast, whistling down, how could people run on two legs, those Hun soldiers were hit by the rolling logs, and were immediately slapped into meat cakes, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

The slopes of the Huguan Pass are extremely steep, and the speed of the rolling logs is getting faster and faster, until they roll from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

Due to the inverted horse nails all over the valley, most of the Huns were intercepted in the valley, the narrow road made the Huns almost densely squeezed together, at this time the rolling logs rolled down, smashed heavily into the crowd, a miserable shout, the Huns were almost swept in pieces, and suffered heavy casualties.

After rolling the log, a dense rain of arrows fell on the heads of the Huns, and those Hun soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by the rolling logs were hit by arrows one after another, and a flood of sorrow was everywhere.

"Hurry back!" Seeing this, Liu Yuan immediately ordered the Huns to retreat, and if they were still in the valley at this moment, they could only be beaten passively and had no power to fight back.

In the chaos, those who were stoned to death by rolling logs, those who were shot by random arrows, and those who trampled on each other to death, countless Huns fled out of the valley in disarray, leaving countless corpses.

Liu Yuan withdrew from the pot pass, which can be regarded as stabilizing his position. Liu Yuan didn't expect to return to Huguan City, and he was actually put by the Shu people, he couldn't help but be pale, after packing up the troops and horses, Liu Yuan decided to attack the Huguan Pass from the periphery and give the Shu people a little color to see.

Cui You persuaded: "The king is angry, now that the Shu people occupy the danger of the Hukou Pass, if they attack strongly, they will inevitably lose their troops, it is better to wait for the right to send troops to the king of Lu, attack on both sides, and then attack again." ”

Liu Yuan listened to Cui You's advice, Cui You is the top strategist by his side, Liu Yuan still trusts him quite a lot, of course, Liu Yuan himself knows very well that if he storms the Huguan Pass, I am afraid it will be more than worth the loss, rather than this, it is better to wait for Liu Jing to send troops to come and attack from both sides, so that the possibility of seizing the Huguan Pass is very great, anyway, starting from Huguan City, it will only be a day's journey at most.

So Liu Yuan also set up camp in front of Huguan Pass and waited for reinforcements from Huguan City.

After Liu Jing received the report of the scout in Huguan City, he was shocked, and immediately ordered 10,000 horses, and went straight to Huguan Pass out of the city to meet Liu Yuan.

Starting from Huguan City, less than a day, Liu Jing led his army to Huguankou, in order to meet Liu Yuan's entry into the pass, Liu Jing immediately launched an attack on the two highlands at Huguankou.

When Liu Yuan learned that Liu Jing led his troops to kill, he was also in a great spirit, and immediately waved his troops to attack, but when they attacked the top, they found that the Shu army had long since disappeared, and there was no one on the mountain at Huguankou. (To be continued.) )
