Chapter 667: Fierce Battle Tongguan (II)
Yanghu moved his command position forward to a place only three hundred steps away from the city wall, this position is almost an area that the Shu army's long-range weapons can cover, and the military Sima Xu Yin was anxious at that time: "It's too dangerous here, the gentleman has not yet stood under the dangerous wall, and the governor is the commander of the three armies, how can he personally get into danger?" ”
Yanghu said calmly: "The soldiers are working the front line, how can I stay out of the matter, I can't live and die with the soldiers, it's already embarrassing, you don't need to say it anymore, since the governor is standing here, this will never take half a step back, the governor wants to watch you attack the city of Tongguan with your own eyes!" ”
The soldiers of the Jin army are all in awe, as the commander of the three armies, the governor of the sheep is so desperate, and the armies dare not to die, the morale of the Jin army is high for a while, Zhang Shang, who lost the battle yesterday, is raising his arms and shouting at this moment: "Sons, come with me, I will not break the Tong Pass today, and I will not return it!" ”
Zhang Shang was dressed in a heavy shawl, holding a shield in his hand, and rushed to the front line first, with generals and encouragement, all the soldiers of the Jin army fought bravely, and they all competed for the first, and launched a strong attack on the city wall of Tongguan.
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, the Jin army adopted a continuous offensive method, constantly exerting pressure on the Shu army, the Jin soldiers in front were killed, and the rear ones would be immediately replenished, so that the number of people besieging the city would always remain unchanged.
Zhang Le spat heavily and said, "Phew! These bastards, it's like they're crazy, I've seen people who don't want to die, I've never seen people who don't want to die, are the lives of these Jin soldiers so worthless? ”
Zhao Zhuo shouted at him: "Brother Le, don't complain, Fu Dudu called you." ”
Zhang Le squeezed out of the crowd and came to Fu Yan.
Fu Yan said with a serious face: "You must have seen the current battle situation, Yanghu is attacking at any cost, and if he wants to drag us down in this way, we must not let his plot succeed." From now on, Zhang Le, you go to guard the southeast corner of Guancheng, Zhao Zhuo, you go to guard the northeast corner of Guancheng, remember, no matter how difficult it is, you must nail me to the city wall like a nail, and you must not let the Jin army set foot on the city head half a step. ”
Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo received the order in unison, Zhang Le grinned and said: "Fu Dudu, you can rest assured, the people are in the position, the little lamb wants to occupy Tongguan, and do his big dream of Qingqiu." ”
Hearing Zhang Le call Yanghu a little lamb, Fu Yi smiled knowingly and said: "Zhang Le, take your temperament away, fighting is not a child's play, but don't underestimate this Yanghu, among the generals of the Jin Army, Wenxuan values Yanghu and Du Yu the most, and you must not take them lightly." In addition, we must pay attention to the night attack of the Jin army, arrange the rotation rest of the troops, and don't let them take advantage of the loopholes at night. ”
Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo led the order, and each led the army to the southeast and northeast corners of Guancheng. Fu Yan saw from the offensive of the Jin army that this would be a protracted battle, so he specially ordered Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to each guard a corner and defend the middle by himself, forming a defensive formation of three points and one line to prepare for this protracted battle.
Sure enough, as Fu Yan expected, after dark, the Jin army's offensive did not stop at all, countless torches were lit up and down the city, the lights were bright, and it was like day, the Jin army continued to attack for a day, and there was no tired look, and they still climbed the ladder endlessly, and the city was already a mountain of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river.
Because the Shu army had already been prepared, although the night attack of the Jin army was violent, it was as difficult to achieve results as during the day, and the strong walls of Tongguan City were always an insurmountable barrier for the Jin army.
The sky was dark, Yanghu had been standing on the position for a whole day and a night, the most dangerous time, a crossbow arrow flew over his helmet, and Xu Yin and others were shocked at that time, but Yanghu still stood there calmly and calmly, and never refused to take a half step back.
His face was pale, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the progress of the Jin army, in this battle, the Jin army has never been able to make a breakthrough, which is far from Yanghu's expectations.
"Governor, you've been standing for a whole day, let's go back to the camp to rest first, it seems that this Tongguan can't be easily taken down, and the future will be long, and the governor has to take care of his body." Xu Yin persuaded him.
Yanghu sighed helplessly, insisted on commanding on the front line for a day and a night, and Yanghu's energy was almost exhausted, after all, he was also a human being, not an iron fight. It seems that the solidity of this Tongguan is somewhat unexpected by Yanghu, and if it continues, it will be a protracted battle, but no matter what, Yanghu will not easily admit defeat, he handed over the command to Xu Yin, and ordered him to continue to command the Jin army to attack, and continue to create pressure on the Shu army.
Yanghu is to take advantage of the Jin army's military superiority, with this continuous attack, to destroy the will of the Shu army, the Shu army is at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, in order to meet the battle, they will definitely invest most of the troops, the longer the battle continues, the more tired the Shu army will be, people's energy is always limited, as long as they have a loophole, the balance of victory and defeat will be tilted to the Jin army's side.
The fierce battle in Tongguan continues, and this is no longer a confrontation between the forces of the two sides, but more of a contest of willpower between the two sides......

After leaving Yumen Pass, Liu Yin ordered the troops to adopt a rapid march, and the daily journey was more than 100 miles, but despite this, the journey of more than 4,000 miles was by no means possible to be completed in a short time, and the Shu army was still far away from returning to the pass.
What's more, such a high-intensity march cannot be maintained for a long time, people's physical strength and energy are limited after all, and if they march forcibly all the way, this team will definitely be dragged down, even if they rush back to Guanzhong as quickly as possible and rush to the front line of Tongguan, I am afraid that there is not much combat effectiveness left.
At this time, Deng Ai gave Liu Yin advice again, and the cavalry was divided into separate horses, and only half of the cavalry was allocated, that is to say, 60,000 cavalry Liu Yin only took 30,000 people first, each with two horses, and the remaining 30,000 cavalry did not have horses to ride, and marched with the synchronous troops, and the 30,000 cavalry took turns to change horses, so as to ensure that the vanguard of the Shu army could rush to Guanzhong at the fastest speed.
Liu Yin was overjoyed, Deng Ai's idea was on the point, and he solved the problem of the Shu army's rapid return of reinforcements, and immediately allocated people and horses to act according to the plan. (To be continued.) )
