Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 469 Suspicion!
Two days later, 4000 Song troops led by Shi Yande and three or [-] surrendered soldiers came to approach Jiameng Pass.

In order to attract the attention of the Shu army, the Song army began to camp outside the city, and seemed to be ready for a protracted war.

The camp is very large, enough to accommodate 3 people.From time to time, soldiers and horses came in and out, and smoke and dust billowed. These were all suspicious tactics laid down by the Song army.

It is used to confuse the Shu army and bluff to convince the Shu army that the main force of the Song army outside the city is here.

Some surrendered soldiers were used as coolies, set up for battle, repaired siege weapons, and at the same time could be used to replenish the number, all of which were within the consideration of the commander of the Song Army.

After Shi Yande arrived, he immediately launched a wave of siege the next day, and went all out to test the strength of the Jiameng Pass defenders.

If the Jiameng Pass is captured directly, then Commander Wang Quanbin's devious strategy is superfluous and can be withdrawn.

"Boom boom boom!"

The war drum beat, the sound was loud, spread far away, and exploded in the mountains like thunder.

The Song army under the city set up a square formation and blew the horn.

"Woooooo-"

The voice was deep and deep, resounding from the valley to the sky.

Siege equipment, ladders, crash cars, trebuchets, etc. are all in full posture. These are very commonly used in the Central Plains, so it is easy for the Song army to form a siege weapon.

Looking down from the top of Jiameng Pass, one can see patches of red tassels on top of caps below the city, flying like flames, and converging into a sea of ​​flames, which is frightening.

It was the Fan Yang hat on the heads of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, with fluttering red tassels.

There were more than [-] troops, boundless, and the morale of the Song army was like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit was high, which brought enormous pressure to the soldiers defending the city.

Meng Xuanyu, Su Chen, Zhao Chongtao, Han Baozheng and others stood at the top of the city, watching the Song Army's phalanx.

"How is it? Do you see any problems?" Meng Xuanyu asked.

Han Baozheng shook his head and sighed softly: "No, it is undoubtedly the main force of the Song Army!"

He has fought against the Song Army many times, so he can judge from the formation and morale of the Song Army under the city that he is the real main force of the Song Army.

Zhao Chongtao said: "The chief general of the Song army under the city seems to be Shi Yande. I haven't seen Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin, Wang Renshan and other commanders and deputy commanders of the Song army."

Lan Siwan wondered, "Judging from the number of tents and pans in the Song Army's camp, there should be more than 2 of them. Could it be that the main force of the Song Army is here?"

Wang Shenchao felt it was a pity and said: "If I had known this, I should have burned the plank road and blocked the canyon passage, so that the Song army would have to delay the attack for a while, delay for a while."

Meng Xuanyu didn't speak, but looked at Su Chen, asking for his opinion.

After Su Chen pondered for a while, he expressed his guess.

"The Song army should have used the strategy of suspicious soldiers. The Song army under the city is the main force. However, not all of them are the main force in the camp. Please rest assured, Your Highness, just follow the plan."

In later generations, he has read many books about 36 stratagems and tricks, and he has also watched a lot of historical dramas, so it is easy to guess some key points.

Hearing that he was so sure, Meng Xuanyu became more confident.

At this time, the Song army under the city began to send people to shout, similar to calling for a battle, asking the Shu army to "open the city and surrender", otherwise they would "break through the majestic pass and kill without mercy".

It is necessary to provoke the Shu army to leave the city, or to deter the defenders from resisting.

This is the psychological warfare before the battle.

Meng Xuanyu was unmoved and just watched with cold eyes.

After the Song army clamored to no avail, they were ready to attack.

"General's order, attack the city gate!"

As soon as the order came out, a flag bearer galloped on horseback, waving the flag and shouting:
"Pass the general's order to attack the city gate—"

After hearing this military order, the soldiers of the first few phalanxes of the Song Army began to march forward.

At the same time, they exhaled and shouted in unison.

"Ho! Ho Ho—"

This kind of mobile formation is very particular, it can make the momentum gather together instantly, invincible, and deter the enemy, without swarming up in a mess.

"Clang clang!"

The armor slammed in unison on the body, the movements were neat, and the momentum was vigorous.

An elite teacher, well-deserved reputation.

"kill--"

After walking more than ten feet, the soldiers in the front row suddenly raised their shields and approached the city where the arrows were shot, and then led the team to kill the city gate.

Suddenly, the sound of killing shook the sky, and today's battle between the two sides officially began.

Song Jun began to charge wildly, and the ladder was erected, roaring up.

The Shu army at the head of the city blocked it with arrows, and threw stones and rolling logs to smash the Song army's climbing city.

Soon, the top and bottom of the city became a battlefield of blood and fire.

There are soldiers charging, shouting to kill and climbing everywhere, and dead bodies lying in pools of blood and unable to get back up.

Whether it was the Song army attacking the city or the Shu army defending the city, corpses kept falling from high altitudes, either dead or injured.

Perhaps, these hot-blooded men are real men, fathers and pillars of the family, but at this moment, human life is like a mustard, being harvested by war machines.

The blood flow was unbearable.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen's palms felt cold, and he felt a bone-chilling chill.

This is the ancient war, the scene he has always wanted to see, and now he has witnessed it with his own eyes, and it is so cold-blooded and cruel.

Drunk lying in the battlefield, Lord Grim, a few people have fought back in ancient times.

After entering the battlefield, life and death are at the mercy of fate, and it depends on whose fate is tougher.

Standing next to him, Peng Qingqing felt a little nauseated.

Because the scene was too bloody, it was different from fighting alone or a martial arts contest between Jianghu swordsmen.

There are no fancy sword moves or wonderful fights. There are only killing and being killed here, simply desperately trying to kill each other.

Boom boom boom!
The drums of war became more and more dense, and the battle became more and more incandescent.

Meng Xuanyu stood in the tower, with iron nets in front of him to defend against cold arrows. He was always paying attention to the situation and maneuvers below. He stood still, and his thin shoulders seemed to be carrying a mighty force at this moment.

The survival of Xiongguan and the safety of the country seem to be tied on his shoulders.

A person who is a coach must have the psychological quality of not changing his face when the mountain collapses before him. Meng Xuanyu has done it, which is commendable.

Among the generals around, no one dared to underestimate the second prince anymore.

Originally thought that he was just sent by the imperial court to supervise the army. He was a nominal commander and put on a show. Once a war broke out, he would definitely hide behind to avoid danger and issue military orders indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, the second prince came to the front line in person, never retreating a step, watching the situation of the Song army's siege, and so calm, admirable.

In fact, the second prince knew in his heart that he was holding on.

In fact, he also felt a little sick to his stomach, and he couldn't bear to see such a killing, which was as miserable as purgatory.

But he had no way to change it. If the Song army was not defeated, the Kingdom of Shu would perish. He had no choice but to resist.

This is also what Su Chen told him last night, let him not retreat one step today, look down, have the determination to face death as home, set an example, and only then can he build confidence and morale for the generals, and let them see the dawn and hope.

At this moment, the identity and performance of the second prince is that ray of dawn.
