The last three kingdoms

Chapter 471
When Liu Yin arrived at Mulansai, Fu Mo was worried. When Liu Yin asked about the situation of the battle, he was a little ashamed and said: "General, the last general is incompetent. Mulansai has not been defeated many times."

Fu Zhu is not as sweet as Fu Zhu. Fu Zhu always talks about his brother-in-law and keeps his mouth shut no matter where there are people or no one.

Liu Yin didn't blame him. In war, there is no one who is invincible. Fu Mo's failure to take down Mulan Fort can only prove that Mulan Fort's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. He once blocked the Shu army at Mulan Fortress, and successfully forced to land more than 7000 people from the Shu army Yao Jing and Zheng Ta. Obviously, this Mulan Fortress is very strong.

Liu Yin asked Shen Quan: "Prefect Shen has been in Xicheng for a long time, so he must know the terrain of Mulan Fort very well. In your opinion, how should Mulan Fort be captured?"

Shen Quan lived in the west city for a long time, so naturally he knew the situation of Mulansai very well. Hearing Liu Yin's question, he was quite complacent and said: "General, the terrain of Mulansai is dangerous and natural. If we attack from the front, no matter how many troops there are, it will be difficult to conquer. However, I know that there is a small road leading directly to Guzhu Ridge behind Mulan Fortress. The general only needs to send people to seize Guzhu Ridge, and it is not difficult to take Mulan Fortress. .”

Liu Yin also noticed the last straight and high mountain in Mulan Sai, which really looked like a solitary bamboo standing there. When he attacked Yang'an Pass that day, Liu Yin also sent A Jian to attack Jigong Mountain first. Suppressing the defenders of Yang'an Pass and taking Yang'an Pass in one fell swoop, Shen Quan proposed a detour to Guzhu Ridge, which has the same effect.

However, Shen Quan is also familiar with the terrain here, otherwise, it would not be easy to find a way to climb up Guzhu Ridge among the dangerous mountains.

At the moment Liu Yin summoned A Jian to come, such a task really must be A Jian's private soldier.However, most of the firearms were used up during the attack on Yang'an Pass, and they are far away from Chang'an at this moment, so there is no chance to be replenished, so it is obviously not possible to use firearms to attack, but the private soldiers are still equipped with Yuanrong crossbows, and use dense arrows It should be enough to suppress the defenders of Mulansai.Liu Yin ordered Ah Jian to take two hundred Liannu soldiers and five hundred archers, led by one of Shen Quan's domestic slaves, and headed for Guzhu Ridge.

Mulansai is already extremely dangerous, but the road to Guzhuling is even more difficult and dangerous. The mountain road is winding and steep, with nine turns and eighteen turns. If there is no Shenfu servant to guide the way, even if A Jian is killed, he will not be able to get around this area. Mountain.

This road is only known by Shen Quan, the emperor of the Western City, and even some sections of the road were repaired by people sent by Shen Quan. Shen Quan was to prevent hostile forces from occupying Mulan Sai, and left a back road for himself. This time, it was for Liu Yin Provides a convenience.

Even Yang Qi didn't know the existence of this road, so naturally he couldn't guard against it.

A Jian quickly climbed up Guzhu Ridge. For these strong Liu family private soldiers, they had turned the snowy mountain that was once regarded as a natural danger. In his eyes, it was nothing at all.

After climbing up Guzhu Ridge, the entire Mulan Fortress could be seen at a glance, and Ajian couldn't help but feel a little sad. Now if he had hundreds of bamboo tube grenades in his hand, he didn't need infantry to attack from the front, and he could use grenades directly. Mulan plug was flattened.A Jian checked the distance with his eyes and found that the entire Mulansai was within the range of the Yuanrong crossbow. A Jian lined up two hundred Liannumen on the top of the mountain and fired arrows at Mulansai.

Due to the narrow space, the other [-] bows and arrows could not stand side by side with the continuation crossbowmen, so Ajian divided them into several rows and stood on a higher hillside. The archers stand higher, but it does not hinder their hit rate at all.

The [-] crossbows can fire [-] arrows at a time, and with the addition of [-] bows and arrows, a dense rain of arrows can be formed in the sky above Mulansai in an instant.

The defenders of Mulansai were all focused on the front, and they didn't realize that the danger would fall from the sky. When they heard the whistle of the arrow piercing through the air, they looked up, and the whole sky seemed to be dark. Dense arrows shot over the sky and covered the earth. Caught off guard, Wei soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, causing heavy casualties.

"What's going on?" Yang Qi was shocked and asked.

A soldier reported to Yang Qi: "I would like to report to the prefect Yang that something is wrong. The Shu army somehow climbed up Guzhu Ridge. The terrain is high there, and the entire wooden dust plug is within the range of the Shu army's bow and arrow. The army was unable to resist, and the casualties were heavy."

Yang Qi's face was ashen, and he said furiously: "Didn't you say that there is no way to go to Guzhu Ridge? How did the Nishu army climb up? Damn it, really damn it!"

The Shu army is on Guzhu Ridge, condescending, and the Wei army is powerless to fight back. They are completely suppressed and beaten. Now the Wei army has nothing to do except to flee in all directions and use the cover as much as possible to avoid the arrows attacking overhead. .

The advantages of the Yuan Rong crossbow with one shot of ten arrows are fully revealed at this moment. As the best weapon for suppressing firepower, the Yuan Rong crossbow showed its prestige, forming a dense curtain of arrow rain over Mulan Sai, and the entire Mu Lan Sai was under pressure. It's under attack.

Wei Jun's defense was almost paralyzed. The dense rain of arrows seemed to be endless and endless, which stunned Wei Jun. In the entire Mulan Fortress, there were corpses everywhere, wounded like clouds, and the sound of pain and wailing was endless. .

Fu Mo, who had been guarding outside the Mulan Great Wall for a long time, couldn't hold back at this moment. After getting A Jian's clear semaphore that he could attack, Fu Mo immediately led a part of Hubu Youying to rush forward.

Wei Jun's defense on the front line is already in a state of emptiness. Even if there are occasional individual soldiers who still have the ability to fight, how can the weak defense be able to withstand the offensive of the Shu army, which is like a tiger and a wolf, and quickly takes the lead. The first line of defense fell, and Fu Mo led his troops to easily attack Mulansai.

At this moment, the rain of arrows stopped abruptly at the right time, but the Wei army was already defeated at this moment, and it was simply powerless to resist the attack of the Shu army.Previously, what the Wei army relied on was the high wall and airtight defensive position of Mulansai, but at this moment the danger was lost, and the Wei army could not gather. Under the swift and powerful attack of the Shu army, the battle lasted only a few minutes. In less than half an hour, Mulansai, known as the first pass in the three eastern counties, fell, and Yang Qi himself, together with nearly a thousand of his subordinates, became prisoners of the Shu army.
