The last three kingdoms

Chapter 464 Battle of Wuguan

In fact, Du Yu was also gambling. He bet that the repair of Wuguan by the Shu army had not yet been completed.Du pre-visited Wuguan, and knew that Wuguan was just a dilapidated city with collapsed walls and no defensive value at all. If the Shu army did not have time to repair Wuguan, his [-] Death Squadron could become a surprise soldier, Take Wuguan and cut off the return route of the Shu army who set up an ambush on Suoqiao Ridge.

But if the Shu army has already repaired Wuguan, then these 3000 troops are likely to be trapped under the pass city and be eaten by the Shu army.

Gambling is inherently a method in which winning or losing is unpredictable. Du Yu could have taken it easy and marched from the main road, first attacking Suoqiao Ridge, and then breaking through Wuguan. It takes much more time, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Du Yu.

The most important purpose of his order to attack Wuguan this time was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, attract the attention of Liu Yin's troops in Hanzhong, induce them to return to Wuguan, and create opportunities for Zhonghui to break through.

In order to achieve this goal, Du Yu had to create a large enough commotion on Wuguan Road. If he was trapped under Wuguan City and could not advance an inch, it would be meaningless. The longer the delay, the less he could help Zhong Hui .

So Du Yu had no choice but to take the risk and sent a death squad to attack Wuguan in a detour.

The section of Wuguan Road at Suspension Bridge Ridge is already a dangerous and narrow path, and the path taken by the death squad is even more difficult and dangerous. According to the two woodcutters, there are several cliffs on this dangerous path, and it is necessary to use Only the rope can climb up, so it is doomed that the three thousand death squads can only enter lightly. Apart from weapons, they can't even wear armor, let alone any heavy equipment. Each soldier only carries two days of dry food with him. Just set off.

After Du Yu sent Shao Yuan away, he was promoted to be a general, ready to launch an attack on Suoqiaoling.

This kind of attack is naturally to support the actions of the death squads. Of course, it would be great if Wei Jun can take Suoqiao Ridge in one fell swoop.

The straight and steep mountains of Suspension Bridge Ridge are like a suspension bridge of a city, while the torrentially rushing Danshui is like a moat.

The narrow mountain roads are simply not enough for the troops of the Wei army to spread out. It is difficult for the Wei army to take advantage of the number of people in such a terrain. Long strip, the striker has already approached Suoqiao Ridge, while the follow-up troops are still in Nanxiang.

Today's attack on the Wei army was clearly prepared. The heavy infantry in heavy armor, armed with guns and shields, lined up in a tight formation and attacked towards the top of the mountain.

Qianhong had already led the army to stand ready, and when the Wei army entered the range of the bow and arrow, he immediately ordered the bow to be released. The Shu army was condescending, and thousands of arrows flew together, sealing the narrow mountain road to death.

The rolling wood and the beating stone are very useful. Wei Jun's heavy armor and heavy shield can effectively resist the shooting of bows and arrows, but it is almost impossible to parry the rolling wood and beating stone.Those huge logs whizzed down, making earth-shattering noises, with a force of destruction, as long as they were Wei soldiers standing on the mountain road, they were all hit by it without exception.

The rolling wood and stone can be obtained locally on the Suspension Bridge Ridge. The most indispensable thing in the mountain is stone and wood. The Shu army can easily get it, and naturally they will not be stingy. So a lot of use of rolling wood and beating stones.

Rolling logs one by one, and stones rolling down from the top of Suspension Bridge Ridge, the Wei soldiers who attacked the mountain were crushed, and the narrow road did not give them any chance to escape. After the attack, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy losses.

Du Yu saw it clearly from the foot of the mountain. Inside the battle flags of the Shu army on the mountain, the flag of the "Qian" brand was flying high in the wind.The surname with the character Qian is not very common, and it is obvious that the leader of the army is Qian Hong, the governor of Longxi who has just descended to the Kingdom of Shu.

Du Yu immediately ordered the Wei army to suspend the attack, and shouted loudly at the mountain: "Lead the general, lead the prefect, and break up in Hanzhong last year. Don't you come here?" He is a member of Deng Ai's command, and Du Yu is Zhong Hui's long history. Since the two belong to different legions, naturally there is no friendship.Later, Du Yu succeeded Jia Chong and went to Xiling, while Qian Hong and other subordinates who belonged to Deng Ai were sent back to Longxi by Zhong Hui. The two parted ways, and naturally they had no intersection.

Qianhong saw Du Yu on the top of the mountain, wanted to attack Du Yu but failed, and wanted to use his tongue, so he sneered and said: "General Du, you and I are masters, if we want to make friends, there is no need to say anything." Qianhong and Du Yu are not familiar, so naturally they have no friendship, otherwise, Qianhong would not have tried to shoot Du Yu yesterday.

Hearing what he said, Du Yu said disapprovingly: "Yuan Taishou, the imperial court treats you well, why should you have a rebellious heart and help rebellion? Loyal ministers don't care about two masters, and Qiang Taishou is also a minister for many generations, and he doesn't want to repay him." Wouldn't the imperial court make the people of the world laugh at the fact that they were helping against Shu?"

Qianhong smiled coldly and said, "Ms. Sima is the most loyal minister of the imperial court, right? I am a member of Qianhong Weijie, but I also know propriety, righteousness and shame. It is absolutely impossible to betray the master and kill the king. Three generations ago, with For the Han Dynasty, now Sima Zhao is in chaos, and the people of the world belong to the Han. I am only following the trend, but you, General Du, are vain for the grace of the tiger. You will die if you do many injustices. carry on."

Du Yu knew that since Qianhong was willing to surrender to the Shu Han, he had already made up his mind after eating the weight, so how can a few words be enough to move him?Du Yu had already launched several consecutive attacks, but there were no results. He had to put all his hopes on the 3000 people who attacked Wuguan.

Presumably at this time, the Three Thousand Death Squadron should also walk out of the dangerous road and approach the city of Wuguan.Although it is not clear how many people in the Shu army guarding Wuguan, they are one of a hundred warriors for the [-] Death Squadron. If the city wall of Wuguan is not repaired, the [-] Death Squadron should launch an attack.

In order to delay Qianhong, Du Yu launched a more violent attack.

Qianhong was naturally not to be outdone. No matter how fierce the Wei army's offensive was, it could only prove that they were the last of their strength.

Just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Report to lead the general, the Wei people have sneaked into Wuguan from a small path!"

When Qianhong heard this, his face turned pale with shock.
