Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2250 Yang Jian and Gao Chong Yuwen Chengdu

Chapter 2246: Yang Jian fights Gao Chong Yuwen Chengdu

Yao (yáo) Pass has been the traffic gateway from the Guanzhong Plain to the Nanyang Basin since ancient times, and together with Wuguan, it shoulders the important task of the two southern gates of Guanzhong.

The defensive strength of Gaoguan in the pre-Qin period was even worse than that of Wuguan, but in the Han Dynasty, there was no threat to the southeast of Guandong, and there was no need for two gates, so Gaoguan was naturally abandoned.

Although the current Gaoguan Pass has been rebuilt by Li Shimin, the preparation time is too short and the project is too hasty. Even with the advantage of geographical location, it is impossible to stop the wolf-like Qin army led by Li Jing.

Li Shimin also knew that the Qin army could not be stopped by relying on Gaoguan alone, so he added troops to Lantian Gaoguan. A total of [-] troops were strictly guarding against each other. Also persist for a month.

It's a pity that Sima Yi failed to live up to his expectations after all, and couldn't hold on after only half a month.

In fact, Sima Yi was able to resist Li Jing's 10,000+ army for half a month by relying on the Gaoguan City Walled City.

For half a month of the offensive and defensive battle at Yaoguan, both Qin and Tang paid a heavy price.

The Tang army was the main force at Lantian Gaoguan, and was in a state of defending the city. No matter how strong the comprehensive combat power of the Qin army was, it could not take advantage of this advantage in the battle, and finally paid a considerable price to break through Gaoguan.

According to statistics after the war, the total casualties of the Qin army reached [-], which was greater than the casualties in the attack on Shangluo.

Of the [-] casualties, the main Qin army accounted for only [-], while the reorganized prisoner-of-war army reached [-].

Although the casualties of the Qin army were heavy, the casualties of the Tang army were not small.

According to statistics, the Qin army killed a total of [-] Tang troops and captured [-]. Sima Yi and Yang Jian led [-] remnant troops to retreat to Lantian.

After this battle, the main force of the Qin army dropped to [-], and the army of prisoners of war also dropped to [-].

Subsequently, the eight thousand prisoners of war who were newly captured were once again assigned to the prisoner-of-war army by Li Jing, and the total strength of the prisoner-of-war army was restored to [-].

Most of the [-] prisoners of war from the Tang army that had been reorganized at the beginning died in the fortified battle of Shangluoyu Pass in Shang County. Nearly half of the current prisoners of war are newly captured Tang soldiers who have not been trained, so the morale of the army is very turbulent.

Before the end of the new round of reorganization, if they are allowed to attack the city, it is likely to cause mutiny, so they cannot be used as cannon fodder for the time being.

The biggest highlight of the battle of Yaoguan was not the offensive and defensive duel between Li Jing and Sima Yi, but the peak battle between Yang Jian and Gao Chong Yuwen Chengdu.

In the previous battle of Shangluo, the three of them had fought once, and Yang Jian was defeated in the end.

This time, under the great power of Yang Jian, he even relied on his own strength to draw with Yuwen Chengdu Gao Chong, which really shocked countless people's jaws.

You know, Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong, who have been famous for a long time, are both peerless fighters in the top ten ranks of the generals list.

最新更新的武将榜前十五的排名分别为：1李存孝、2杨戬、3刑天、4孙灵明、5姜松、6贾复、7吕布、8高宠、9宇文成都、10牛莫忘、11殷纣、12公孙轩辕，13赵云、14澹台誉、15陆文龙；
The generals list, which has always been unshakable, has undergone extreme changes this time. After all, too many major events have happened during this period of time.

Li Yuanba broke his arm, and Hou Yi and Zhang Kui died in battle, making a new look finally appear on the list of generals.

Tan Taiyu and Lu Wenlong, who entered the list for the first time, were ranked No. 14 and No. 15 respectively by the famous experts because of their outstanding performance in the Central Plains War. It's just that they don't know how long they can stay in their positions.

Kong Peng's record of defeating Lu Bu at Fenglingdu and fighting Sun Lingming, and taking the initiative to flee after [-] rounds, is really amazing, but he was not on the list because the update time for the list of generals has not yet arrived.

When the time is up, Kong Peng will replace Lu Bu and directly parachute to seventh place on the list of generals.

In addition to Kong Peng, Kong Xuan who just joined the Qin army camp, Liu Er from Yizhou, Wu Zhiqi, Wei Hu, Jiao Moxiang and others are all strong candidates for the list.

Facing the eyes of such strong men, Tan Taiyu and Lu Wenlong had no trouble keeping their rankings, let alone progress.

Li Yuanba, who was originally ranked second, had his arm cut off by Li Cunxiao, and his combat power would have dropped significantly. Yang Jian, who was third, was automatically promoted to second.

As for Li Yuanba, he had a broken hand, and he didn't know if he would return to the battlefield, so he was directly removed from the list of famous players. After waiting for his recovery, he observed his performance and re-ranked.

Lu Bu and Jia Fu surpassed Gao Chong and Yuwen Chengdu all of a sudden because of their extremely eye-catching performances in the Youzhou battle.

As for other people's rankings, the overall change is not too big, it's just that you surpass me, I surpass you, and I will catch up next time.

Although Yang Jian was ranked in the list of generals, he obviously did not have the fighting power and deterrent power of the former second Li Yuanba.

In a one-on-one duel, it is not surprising that Yang Jian wins either of the two, but it is outrageous to draw with one enemy and two. After all, the gap between the top ten generals is not too big.

No one knows that Yang Jian's ability to draw with Yuwen Chengdu Gao Chong really worked hard to achieve it. Of course, it was also due to Yuwen Chengdu being injured by an arrow before the battle. Unfortunately, even so, he still failed to keep Yaoguan.

The Qin army has too many strong generals, even if Yang Jian can block Gao Chong and Yuwen Chengdu, but the Qin army still has Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, who will rely on to stop these people?

After Li Jing captured Yaoguan, he left the prisoner-of-war army in place for a truce and reorganization, while he personally joined the [-] army, marched into Guanzhong, and headed straight for Lantian.

Although Lantian is located at the end of Wuguan Road, it is already in the Guanzhong Plain after all, and Lantian is a city, not a pass, so it is destined to be unable to block all the advance routes of the Qin army.

If Qin Jun wanted to, he could completely bypass Lantian, but if he did so, it would be difficult to transport the grain and grass from the rear. After all, it was impossible for the Lantian defenders to turn a blind eye to Qin Jun's grain transportation.

Under Lantian City, Li Jing looked at Lantian City and fell into deep thought.

After being reinforced by Li Shimin, Lantian City's defense is stronger than that of Shangluoguan. The casualties of the storm are too high, and a lot of time will be wasted, but they can go around and worry about the food road being cut off.

Li Jing's situation is different from Huo Qubing's and Lu Bu's. The army under Li Jing's command is basically infantry, and the cavalry only accounts for a small part, while Huo Qubing and Lu Bu's command is all cavalry.

Relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry, Huo Qubing and Lu Bu could not care about the logistics, and they went on a rampage in the Guanzhong area. After all, the Tang army could not catch up with them.

But infantry can't do that.

What if he is entangled by the Tang army and it is difficult to get out, so that the army rations are exhausted?If they are not supplemented and eventually run out of food, the consequences will be extremely serious.

"My lord only gave me two months, and now it has been a month. Although I have broken through Shang County, Shangluo, and Gaoguan, and successfully entered Guanzhong, if I want to go to Chang'an, one month may not be enough time. .” Li Jing whispered to himself.

Chang'an is the largest city in Kansai, with high walls and thick walls, and it has been heavily reinforced by Li Tang, so its defense is not inferior to that of Luoyang City.

Li Shimin's 10,000+ army failed to break through Luoyang, which had only tens of thousands of defenders, so Li Jing was naturally not 100% sure of breaking through Chang'an.

"We can't continue to waste time here in Lantian."

Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he ordered: "Send the order, the whole army will bypass Lantian and go straight to Chang'an."
