Although the Huns were limited by the strength of the army, it was impossible to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Shu army in the north of Jin, but for some important passes and fortresses, there was still enough strength to protect, even if Jinyang was critical, Liu Meng had to return to the army to rescue, and gave up some of the passes, including Yanmen Pass, but some cities and passes still could not be abandoned, such as the county seat of Xinxing County in Jiuyuan, and Xinkou in the north of Jiuyuan, because it is the northern gateway of Jinyang, guarding Jinyang must guard Xinkou, So the Huns could not give up anyway. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not only could not give up, but the Xiongnu army also strengthened Xin's garrison in the retreat to Jinyang, and Liu Yuan sent the general Hu Yanlang to guard Jiuyuan to ensure the safety of the north of Jinyang.

Fu Yan waved his army south, and the first goal was to capture Xinkou.

Xinkou is located in the broken place of Xinkou Mountain, it is rumored that after the siege of Liu Bangping, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, withdrew the army and returned here, the dragon heart was happy, then named Xinkou, and set up danger in the city here, became a military defense point. Because from Xinkou to Jinyang is no danger to rely on a horse Pingchuan, so Xinkou is particularly important, those who defend Jinyang must first guard Xinkou, so that Xinkou has become a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Jiuyuan is also the base camp of the Huns in the north of the five Xiongnu departments, the Huns have been operating here for many years, the whole Xinkou was built by the Huns as solid as a rock, Hu Yanlang was ordered to garrison Jiuyuan and Xinkou, he knew that the responsibility was heavy, and he did not dare to slack off, he led the army to Xinkou after the integration of the local garrison forces, and held the fortress to ensure the safety of Jinyang.

Fu Tong led the army to Dingxiang, Dingxiang county is also the city that the Huns have just given up, Fu Tong knows the importance of Xinkou, believes that the Huns can give up other places, categorically will not give up Xinkou, the left army temporarily stayed in Dingxiang, sent people to Xinkou to spy on the military situation.

Sure enough, as Fu Yi expected, the Huns not only did not withdraw the garrison of Xinkou, but instead sent Hu Yanlang to lead the army to reinforce Xinkou and strengthen the garrison of Xinkou.

Although the defenders of Xinkou were only more than 30,000 people, which was far inferior to the Shu army in terms of numbers, the Huns defended it with danger and tightly choked the key places of Xinkou, especially when Liu Yuan sent his brother-in-law Hu Yanlang to lead his descendants into Xinkou, which shows that Liu Yuan attached great importance to Xinkou.

Fu Tuo convened the generals to discuss how to take Xinkou, Zhang Le took the lead and took the initiative to ask: "Fu Dudu, the last general is willing to lead the army as the vanguard and attack Xinkou Pass." ”

The Wudang Fei Army led by Zhang Le has always been the most elite unit of the Shu army, attacking the city and setting up the village, for example, charging ahead, and this time it is naturally the best to do.

Fu Yan didn't agree immediately, and said: "The Xiongnu garrison of Xinkou has good combat strength, and if you go with one army, you may be afraid of losing, and you need to send another army to supplement it before you can attack." ”

Zhao Zhuo immediately stepped forward and said, "Qi Yu Governor, the last general is willing to go." ”

Zhao Zhuo commanded the Yang'an Army, which is also Fu Tong's old base troops, known for being good at fighting hard, Fu Zhuo nodded when he heard this, the combination of Wudang Fei Army and Yang'an Army can be called the sharpest attack force in the left army of the Shu Army at present, with this two armies as the main attack, Fu Zhuo is naturally relieved, and immediately nodded in agreement, Zhang Le Zhao Zhuo led the order to leave the camp and go to Xinkou Pass.

Fu Tong also sent Zhuge Shang's White Emperor Army as the left flank attack corps, and Deng Zhong's Longxi Army as the right flank attack corps, detoured back to the left and right flanks of Xinkou, and put pressure on Xinkou from the flanks to support the attack of the Shu army's Wudang Fei Army and the Yang'an Army on Xinkou.

As for Ma Rong's Guanzhong Army, it was included in the general reserve by Fu Yan and could be reinforced everywhere at any time.

Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo walked side by side, the brothers have never seen each other since they divided their troops, this time they won the task of joining forces to attack Xinkou, naturally they were quite happy, Zhang Le was even more overjoyed, and he was talking nonsense about the reins, and counted his "great achievements".

Zhao Zhuo, who knows Zhang Le's personality very well, is naturally suspicious of Zhang Le's words, but Zhao Zhuo is unwilling to expose Zhang Le's shortcomings, so he listens with a smile and lets Zhang Le's spit splash.

When it comes to the battle of Xinkou, Zhang Le's eyebrows are even more dancing, as if as soon as he comes out of the horse, Xinkou Pass is holding the handle, Zhang Le's chest is slapped: "Third brother, you just look at it, you just watch the excitement on the side, Xinkou Pass is enough to take it without me being a flying army." ”

"Fu Dudu has an order, and the one who guards Xinkou Pass is Hu Yanlang, Liu Yuan's descendant general, who wants us not to underestimate the enemy, second brother, you have to be cautious." Zhao Zhuo got Fu Yan's advice, so he was naturally very cautious, and reminded Zhang Ledao with kind words.

Zhang Leyi looked indifferent, and said: "Attacking the city and setting up the wall, but there is no strength of the flying army, and the Huns who abandon their horses to defend the city, what are they afraid of?" Third brother, you just need to sweep the formation and see how I break through this Xinkou Pass. ”

Zhang Le insisted on leading the Wudang Flying Army to attack the city first, but Zhao Zhuo couldn't resist him, so he nodded and agreed.

Xinkou Pass is located in the broken place of Xinkou Mountain, both sides are high mountains and lofty mountains, only Xinkou is interrupted, such as a knife splitting axe sharpening, people suspect that it is the work of nature's ghostly axe. Xinkou Pass is located on a dirt hill in the dangdao, the topographical characteristics of Xinkou are somewhat similar to the street pavilion, but the soil and mountain area occupied by Xinkou Pass is larger, and there is no danger of water source, it is much stronger than the street pavilion.

This pass city was built in the era of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, after many repairs in history, Xinkou Pass has been impregnable, compared to Yanmen Pass these important towns to pass, it is not much to let go.

Zhang Le didn't care about 3721, arrived at the city wall of Xinkou Pass, and immediately launched an order to attack, Wudang Feijun was already ready to go, and after receiving the order, he launched a fierce attack on Xinkou Pass with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas.

The Wudang Flying Army formed by the Qiang people as the team, since the day of its establishment, is a well-known force, whether it is a tough battle, or a Jedi counterattack, whether in good times or bad, the Wudang Flying Army is not lacking in the kind of courageous, fierce and fierce spirit, he simply ignored the solidity of the Xinkou Pass, and also ignored the strength of the Hun army defending the city, and launched a strong attack without fear.

There were no large-scale siege equipment, and there were no gunpowder weapons, and the Wudang Flying Army relied on their enthusiasm and fearless spirit to carry a simple ladder and launch a wave of attacks on the city wall of Xinkou Pass.

Hu Yanlang personally commanded on the front line, the Huns were also very tenacious, resisted the fierce attack of the Shu army, and the two sides fought to the death on the front line of the city wall. (To be continued.) )
