The last three kingdoms

Chapter 446 Fighting Yang'an Pass Again

The terrain of Yang'an Pass is extremely dangerous. If Jiang Shu hadn't defected to the enemy at that time, Zhong Hui would have wanted to capture Yang'an Pass, which would definitely not be an easy task.No matter how strong a fortress is, it starts to disintegrate from the inside.

Now that Li Fu is retreating to defend Yang'an Pass, because he retreated in time in the second city of Hanle, Li Fu still has more than 5000 troops in his hands at this moment. Yang'an Pass is different from Lecheng Seoul. No matter how many troops Liu Yin has, Li Fu will not be afraid anymore. With a strong city in hand, Li Fu will be upright.

He ordered all the troops to repair the city and strengthen the defense, and at the same time sent someone to ask Zhonghui for help. Li Fu believed that as long as he reported the situation in Hanzhong truthfully, Zhonghui would definitely send reinforcements to help Yangan. Guan Guruojintang, Liu Yin will definitely suffer a lot under Yang'an Pass, Wei Jun can also take advantage of it to counterattack, maybe he can take advantage of the momentum to attack Seoul and Lecheng.

It would take three to five days at the fastest to send a letter from Yang'an Pass to the vicinity of Chengdu, but it would take about ten days for Zhonghui to send troops to arrive at Yang'an Pass. , it will take at least half a month.However, Li Fu was full of confidence. He had reason to believe that he would not feel any pressure at all after guarding for half a month and 20 days.

At the beginning, the two cities of Hanle were only guarded by [-] defenders each. Tens of thousands of Wei troops tried to attack, but they could not conquer them in a short time. This forced Zhong Hui to adopt long-term siege tactics. To force Jiang Bin Wangshe to surrender.The current situation is just reversed, the Shu army is in the offensive position and the Wei army is in the defensive position, and the offensive and defensive positions are changing. Li Fu has no reason to think that he will do worse than Jiang Bin Wangshe, even Yanganguan. Can't keep it.

One must know that the danger of Yang'an Pass is still higher than that of the Second City of Hanyue, not to mention that Li Fu doesn't need to defend for long, as long as the Wei army's reinforcements arrive, he can immediately launch a counterattack.

When Liu Yin arrived at the city of Yang'an Pass, it was already dusk, so he ordered to set up camp ten miles east of Yang'an Pass, and planned to attack Yang'an Pass the next day.

In the dark night, Liu Yin stood outside the camp, staring at the dark city wall in the distance, he couldn't help sighing.The entire march into Hanzhong was invincible all the way, but Liu Yin knew that the smoother the situation, the greater the difficulty in the future. Since the goal of annihilating the enemy was not achieved in Lecheng and Seoul, this part of the enemy had already escaped from Yang'an Pass. It added a lot of resistance to the attack on Yang'an Pass.

But a real famous general will always face difficulties head-on. Liu Yin knew that Yang'an Pass was not easy to fight, and he had to fight quickly. He must not let Zhong Hui's reinforcements rush to Yang'an Pass.

The most classic battle is the battle of Chang'an. Liu Yin only took three days to win Chang'an, which is known as one of the strongest cities in the world.And the biggest hero in that battle was gunpowder. It was the possession of such a secret weapon that enabled Liu Yin to take down Chang'an City in the shortest time.

It's a pity that under Yang'an Pass, Chang'an's success could not be replicated. To blow up the city wall of Chang'an, at least one ton of Liu Yin's gunpowder was used up, and this amount was almost half a year's worth of the gunpowder workshop after moving to Longxi. All the production has been completed. Now Liu Yin's firearms department has no explosives that can blow down the city wall except for some gunpowder arrows, bamboo tube grenades and stone mines.

So this tough battle was not easy for Liu Yin at all.

When Liu Yin was on the fourth watch, he was promoted to the tent general, and the chief officials of each battalion were summoned to the tent to deploy the next plan to attack the city.

When attacking Yang'an Pass, the cavalry of the ** Battalion would be useless. Liu Yin arranged them to Baishui Pass to serve as reinforcements. , ready to carry out a strong attack.

Jiang Bin and Wang She took the initiative to invite Ying, and asked Liu Yin to entrust the Hancheng Camp and Lecheng Camp as the first forces to attack the city.

Liu Yin believed that both the Hancheng Camp and the Lecheng Camp were dissatisfied with the establishment, and their combat effectiveness may be insufficient, so this time the Hubu Camp should still be in charge.

Jiang Bin and Wang She have different opinions. They think that the Hanzhong Shu army has been in Hanzhong for a long time, and they know the geography and climate of Hanzhong well. After two years, it was hard to catch an opportunity to fight back at this time, how could I let it go, now the morale of the Hanzhong Shu army is high, and the desire to fight is strong, it is time for them to show their talents.

So Liu Yin agreed to Jiang Bin and Wang She's request, and the Seoul Camp and Lecheng Camp would serve as the first echelon of the main siege force, the Hubu Camp would serve as the second echelon, and Lu Xun's new first battalion would serve as the reserve team.

At dawn, the Hancheng Camp and the Lecheng Camp were thrown into the attack on Yang'an Pass.

Jiang Bin and Wang She personally supervised the battle in front of the battle. When the two of them were trapped in Lecheng in Seoul a few days ago, they never expected that there would be a chance to fight back.It's just Jiang and Wang, and even the entire Hanzhong Shu army's morale is high. They have been suppressed for a long time, and they all burst out at this moment.

Liu Yin attacked Hanzhong this time with only light equipment. He did not bring any heavy equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows. Even the lively tiger cavalry had great difficulty crossing the valley, and even fell behind the infantry. It was almost impossible for those larger and heavier catapults and bed crossbows to be transported to Hanzhong through the Meridian Valley.

In order to suppress the Wei army at Yang'an Pass, Liu Yin ordered the archers and Liannu soldiers to take the lead in building a position under the city. Before the Shu army began to attack the city, they had already fired nearly [-] arrows on the city wall.

The arrows of the Shu army almost formed a densely intertwined arrow rain network, covering the head of Yang'an Pass, and the Wei soldiers guarding the city kept getting hit by arrows and retreated one after another.

Seizing this opportunity, the Shu troops of Hancheng Camp and Lecheng Battalion carried the ladders and launched a fierce offensive towards the head of Yang'an Pass. The entire city of Yang'an Pass was densely covered with the figures of Shu troops, as if gathered together The river, set off a violent storm, rushing towards the wall of Yang'an Pass like a tide.

Li Fu came to the front line to command the battle, calmly and unhurriedly, the soldiers of the Wei army braved the rain of arrows, and began to attack the besieging Shu army. , launched a fierce decisive battle.
