Chapter 828: Fighting the Cold Mountain Fortress Again (I)

Chang Hai has been the defender of the Hanshan Fortress for almost a year, and Chang Hai bears the main responsibility for the failure of the encirclement and suppression last autumn, but fortunately, Liu Yuan did not pursue him too much, but just demoted him by one level and transferred him to the Hanshan Fortress as a guard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chang Hai didn't have any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he was a little grateful, he made such a big mistake, Liu Yuan only demoted him and punished him, you know, the previous Hanshan Fortress guard Lu Ta was executed by Liu Yuan because of the loss of Hanshan Fortress, in comparison, Chang Hai was much luckier.

For Chang Hai, the current task is to defend the Hanshan Fortress, atone for his sins, and regain Liu Yuan's trust.

Hanshan Fortress is one of the more important of the thirteen fortresses in the Shangdang area, it is close to the communication between the east and west and the north and south of Shangdang, whether it is from east to west, or from south to north, it is inseparable from Hanshan Fortress. Judging from the current situation, the Hanshan Fortress is a pass that divides the southern, western and eastern base areas of the Shu army, which undoubtedly highlights its military value.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Hanshan Fortress that the three base areas of the Shu army are divided and not connected to each other, so Liu Yuan has always attached great importance to the Hanshan Fortress, the last time the Hanshan Fortress was lost, and the Shu army fled from the valley to the east and south, which led to today's situation.

The last time the Hanshan Fortress was lost, most of the reason was that the Hanshan Fortress was only a half-finished product, and many of the fortifications had not yet been built, and at the same time, Luta neglected to control the highlands on both sides, and under the attack of several times the Shu army, the defense line was quickly declared lost.

When the Huns regained control of this fortress, how to hold such a pass, obviously more important, Liu Yuan in addition to appointing Chang Hai to serve as the commander of the Hanshan Fortress, and invested a lot of effort to rebuild the Hanshan Fortress that has not yet been completed, at its peak, the Hanshan Fortress was garrisoned by 10,000 men and horses, which can be described as solid and solid as a rock.

However, after the outbreak of the Battle of Gaodu, Liu Yuan led the main force to personally rush to Gaodu to participate in the battle, and the Hanshan Fortress also transferred half of the men and horses to fight south with Liu Yuan, and now there are only more than 5,000 people left in Chang Hai's hands.

Despite this, Chang Hai is still full of confidence, he has no worries about holding the Hanshan Fortress, the Hanshan Fortress is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, these 5,000 elite soldiers are enough to reach 100,000 troops.

What's more, Chang Hai learned from the experience and lessons of the previous defender Luta, since Luta lost because the highlands on both sides were captured by the Shu army, the condescending use of bows and arrows and firearms, so that the Huns had no power to fight back, so Chang Hai on the heights on both sides, stationed patrols all the year round to guard, as soon as there is any trouble, the fortress can send people to reinforce to ensure that the highlands on both sides are safe and sound.

Inside the fortress, a large number of defensive weapons such as bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stones are prepared, and the fortress itself is a solid stone fortress, which is not the same as the cold mountain fortress that Luta guarded at the beginning.

Even if the fortress is so strong, Chang Hai does not dare to take it lightly, there is the slightest slackness, he will personally stay on the front line of the fortress for at least six hours a day, and the bright posts and secret posts set up are endless, even ten miles away, there are Chang Hai sent outposts patrolling, not to mention that before the Shu army attacked the Hanshan fortress, even if the Shu army appeared near the fortress, Chang Hai would know it as soon as possible, and the alert level of the fortress would always be at the highest level.

Especially after Liu Yuan led the army south, Chang Hai was obviously cautious, always on guard against the attack of the Shu army, because he knew that this would be the best time for the Shu army to attack.

Sure enough, there was no surprise to Chang Hai, in the southeast direction of the Hanshan Fortress, there were signs of the activities of the Shu army, and the sentry reported to Chang Hai in the first time, and Chang Hai's face flashed with an imperceptible sneer, and ordered all the personnel of the fortress to enter the battle state and resist the attack of the Shu army at any time.

The reason why Liu Yin chose to attack the Hanshan Fortress again was that the intention was to link the three unconnected base areas together, so as to completely change the situation of the Shangdang.

And the Hanshan Fortress is a big stone in front of the Shu army, and only by removing him can the goal of combining the three into one be achieved. At the beginning, the Hanshan Fortress was stormed, and after the successful take, it completely changed the fate of the Shu army, and now the Hanshan Fortress has once again taken on this important task, and the Shu army is united and vows to take this key pass.

However, Liu Yin did not rush to act, according to the information he had in the early stage, the defenders of the Hanshan Fortress were as high as more than 10,000 people, but the Gaodu side was tight, Liu Yuan transferred another 5,000 people, and the number of defenders on the side of the Hanshan Fortress was reduced by half.

But even so, Liu Yin also thinks that the Hanshan Fortress is not so easy to eat, the steep pass, that can really be a husband, ten thousand people can not open, the Shu army also spent a lot of effort to seize the peak on the left, with condescending means, and finally take the Hanshan Fortress.

"Brother-in-law, can't we give him the same way again?" Fu Zhi looked at the two towering peaks looming in the distance, between the two peaks, is the Cold Mountain Fortress, although the last attack on the Cold Mountain Fortress was the main attack of the lofty Tiger Infantry Army, but it did not hinder Fu Zhi's memory of the Cold Mountain Fortress, this is a hard bone, in addition to snatching the two highlands, it is difficult to find a high trick to deal with the fortress.

After all, last time, Ah Jian led people to seize the high ground on the left, and the Huns were defeated, which left a deep impression on Fu Zhi, if the Shu army could concoct that victory again, it would be more suitable.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yin shook his head and said: "The victory last time is irreproducible, the Huns heard a big loss there, how can they not strengthen the garrison, and now they want to climb those two heights, it is overwhelming." ”

"So what should we do?" Fu Zhi asked, he knew that Liu Yin's idea was a thief, and every time the Shu army was in difficulty, it was Liu Yin's idea.

Liu Yin said: "Don't worry, wait until the Hubu Army and the Yongan Army are here, and then it's not too late to find a way." ”

Fu Zhu said a little excitedly: "Brother-in-law, do you plan to mobilize the forces of the three armies to storm the Cold Mountain Pass?" It's really good, it's been a long time since I've seen Gao Yuan and Luo attack them, this time our Han army joined forces to smash Liu Yuan's Hanshan Pass to a pulp, and this is a happy relief!
