The last three kingdoms

Chapter 449
The top of Jigong Mountain is about fifty or sixty feet high from Yang'an Pass. From here, you can have a bird's-eye view of Yang'an Pass.The horizontal distance from Jigong Mountain to Yang'an Pass is only about forty or fifty steps. A Jian tried to throw a grenade, and it was easy to throw it on the city wall, but it took a long time for the grenade to fall. It has exploded.

A Jian ordered his soldiers to adjust the length of the fuse, and bombed the section of the city wall near Jigong Mountain in Yang'an Pass with all its strength.A Jian prepared more than 200 bamboo tube grenades and thousands of gunpowder arrows. The section of the city wall to the south of the target was only about a hundred paces away. The grenades were thrown down one by one and exploded on the top of Yang'an Pass. flower.Although the stone walls of Yang'an Pass are quite strong, these grenades can only hurt some fur, but the damage to the flesh and blood of Wei Bing is fatal.

The dense formation adopted by the Wei army on the city wall is basically man against man and man against man. This defensive formation is very effective against the Shu army's ants attacking the city, even if some of the Shu army break through the city wall and attack the top of the city , It can also be suppressed by Wei Jun's dense defensive formation.

But such a formation undoubtedly provides a place for grenades. After a grenade explodes in the crowd, the huge shock wave is almost destructive within a radius of one foot. Wei Bing has zero experience in guarding against gunpowder weapons. They didn't know how to take protective measures such as lying down. They stood there dumbfounded at first, waiting to be bombed, and then rushed like headless flies, causing the entire city to be in chaos.

A Jian coldly ordered his soldiers to keep throwing bamboo grenades and firing gunpowder arrows at the top of the city. Soon the whole city was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and the violent explosion sent stone chips flying all over the sky. On the top of the city, there is almost no place for Wei Bing to stand.

A Jian saw that this round of bombing had achieved the expected effect, so he suspended the attack, and raised the flag to signal the Shu army under the city to launch a siege operation.

The Hancheng camp of the Shu army, which was already ready to go under the city, was now like a tiger coming out of the forest. With vigorous steps, carrying a ladder, it charged towards the city wall of Yang'an Pass, and the sound of killing resounded throughout.

At this time, the city of Yang'an Pass has been baptized by artillery fire. Except for a pile of stumped limbs and broken arms, there is no living person in this area. The siege of the Shu army has not been hindered in the slightest. The soldiers stepped on the ladder and climbed hard to the top of the city.

Li Fu, who had already retreated, was very worried this time. Seeing that the bombing of the Shu army had stopped, he immediately ordered the Wei soldiers to counterattack, preparing to block the gap.

But it was easy to retreat, and it was too late to make up for it. The actions of the Shu army were quite quick. Before the Wei soldiers rushed up, the first wave of Shu soldiers had already jumped onto the top of the city.

This time Ajian was not idle on Jigong Mountain. Although the area where the Shu army ascended the city could no longer throw grenades, they could still be thrown on both sides of this area and in the deep area inside the city wall. The artillery fire continued all the way, continuing to attack the Wei army. The team strikes.

After the first wave of Shu troops attacked the top of the city, the whole situation was like a flood that broke the embankment. Hand to hand combat.

Once the advantage of the city wall was lost, the numerical disadvantage of the Wei army was clearly revealed. In the hand-to-hand combat, more and more Shu troops joined the battle group, constantly attacking the Wei army's position, expanding step by step. occupying the area.

The Wei soldiers, who had been blasted to pieces by the bombs, retreated steadily under the repeated attacks of the Shu army's infantry.

During the fierce battle, the gate of the city also fell, and the brigade of the Shu army attacked the city from the gate. The advantage of the Shu army was further expanded, and the defeat of the Wei army was irreversible.

Fang Hong looked anxious, and said to Li Fu: "General Li, the situation is over, hurry up and break through!"

Li Fu's face was ashamed and his eyes were gloomy. He never expected that Yang'an Pass, which is as solid as a rock, would lose to a new weapon of Liu Yin, and there were deafening explosions. , completely destroyed Li Fu's confidence in sticking to Yang'an Pass. After all, he still couldn't hold on until Zhonghui's reinforcements arrived.

Now the Shu army has entered the city on a large scale, besieged on all sides, even breaking through is not an easy task, not to mention that Li Fu was deeply entrusted by Zhong Hui to sit in Hanzhong, but the final result turned out to be a crushing defeat. Li Fu felt that he had no face to meet Zhong meeting.

"It's better for broken pieces of jade than for nothing!" Li Fu said in a slow and deep voice, with two cold lights shooting out of his eyes, he drew his sword in his hand, looked around at the soldiers around him, and shouted loudly: "There is no enemy but no me, there is no enemy!" I am invincible! Kill!"

Li Fu rushed into the formation of the Shu army with a sword first, and under the inspiration of Li Fu, those Wei soldiers also raised their weapons high one after another, and started a desperate fight with the surging Shu army.

But the enemy was outnumbered, and Li Fu was finally shot by several arrows and died at the crossroads of Yang'an Pass.Fang Hong risked his life to break through the encirclement, but more and more Shu troops blocked his way out of the city.

The battle at Yang'an Pass finally came to an end. There were more than 1 Wei soldiers, and nearly half of them died in the battle. The other half of the Wei soldiers surrendered when the main general was killed and the general situation was gone. Yang'an Pass was lost for a year. Seven months later, it finally returned to Shu Han's hands.

Liu Yin knew that the loss of Yang'an Pass back then was a lingering pain in Fu Qian's heart. Although the Shu army had achieved successive victories in Guanlong, there was always a faint sadness between Fu Qian's brows. Obviously, Yang'an Pass has become an eternal pain in Fu Qian's heart. If Yang'an Pass is not taken back for a day, Fu Qian's knot in his heart will not be untied.

It is a pity that Fu Qian did not have the opportunity to personally experience the recovery of Yang'an Pass this time, but Liu Yin believes that after Fu Qian received the news of the recovery of Yang'an Pass, a big stone in his heart can finally land.

Taking down Yang'an Pass is equivalent to having the entire territory of Hanzhong in the palm of your hand, and it can be regarded as completely blocking Zhonghui's way back.After Liu Yin entered Yang'an Pass, he immediately ordered to repair the city defense of Yang'an Pass, rushed to repair the damaged city wall overnight, and actively deployed the defense in the city.

With the fall of Yang'an Pass, Zhonghui's army truly became a solitary army, with no logistics supplies, no food and supplies, and completely fell into a desperate situation. Liu Yin can imagine seeing Zhonghui's expression after knowing about it. Where will the [-] Wei army go? , this will be the time to test Zhonghui's wisdom.
