The last three kingdoms

Chapter 667 Fierce Battle at Tongguan
Yang Hu moved his command position forward to a place only three hundred steps away from the city wall. This position was almost within the reach of the Shu Army's long-range weapons. At that time, Army Sima Xu Yin was impatient: "It's too dangerous here. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the governor is the commander of the three armies, how can he personally risk himself?"

Yang Hu calmly said: "The soldiers are all working hard on the front line, how can I stay out of the matter, I can't live and die with the soldiers, I am already ashamed, you don't need to say any more, since the governor is standing here, it is absolutely a shame. I won't take half a step back, the governor wants to watch you attack the city of Tongguan with my own eyes!"

The generals and soldiers of the Jin army were all in awe. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Governor Yang Dadu was so desperate, how dare all the troops not give up their lives, and the morale of the Jin army was suddenly high. Zhang Shang, who was defeated yesterday, raised his arms and shouted: "Boys, come with me. If you don't break Tongguan today, you won't return it!"

Wearing a heavy cloak and holding a shield, Zhang Shang took the lead and rushed to the front line. With the general and encouragement, all the soldiers of the Jin army fought bravely to be the first, and launched an ant-attached attack on the city wall of Tongguan.

The battle situation was unprecedentedly fierce and stalemate. The Jin army adopted a continuous offensive method and constantly put pressure on the Shu army.

Zhang Le spat heavily, and said: "Bah! These bastards are like crazy. I have seen people who are desperate, but I have never seen such desperate people. Are the lives of these Jin soldiers so worthless? "

Zhao Zhuo shouted at him: "Brother Le, don't complain, Dudu Fu is calling you."

Zhang Le squeezed out from the crowd and came to Fu Qian.

Fu Qian said with a serious face: "You must have seen the current battle situation. Yang Hu is attacking regardless of the cost. If he wants to drag us down in this way, we must not let his plot succeed. From now on , Zhang Le, you go to guard the southeast corner of the pass city, Zhao Zhuo, you go to guard the northeast corner of the pass city, remember, no matter how difficult it is, you must nail it to the city wall like a nail, and never let the Jin army step on it. Half a step to the city."

Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo took orders in unison, Zhang Le grinned and said with a big smile: "Fu Dudu, don't worry, the people are in the position, the little lamb wants to occupy Tongguan, go and live his Qingqiu dream."

Hearing that Zhang Le called Yang Hu a little lamb, Fu Qian smiled knowingly, and said, "Zhang Le, put your temper away, fighting is no joke, but don't underestimate this Yang Hu. Among the generals in the army, Yang Hu and Du Yu are the two most valued by Wenxuan, and they must not be taken lightly. In addition, we must pay attention to the night raids of the Jin army, arrange the rotation of the troops, and don't let them sneak in at night Hole."

Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo took orders and led their respective troops to the southeast and northeast corners of Guancheng.Fu Qian could see from the offensive of the Jin army that this would be a protracted battle, so he specially ordered Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to guard a corner each, and he himself guarded the middle to form a three-point-one-line defensive formation. Get ready for this long battle.

Sure enough, as Fu Qian expected, after dark, the Jin army's offensive did not mean to stop at all. Countless torches were lit above and below the city, and the lights were brightly lit, shining like daylight. , I can’t see any signs of exhaustion, still climbing the ladder endlessly, there are already piles of corpses under the city, and blood is flowing like a river.

Because the Shu army had been prepared for a long time, although the Jin army's night attack was fierce, it was as difficult to achieve results as during the day. The strong city wall of Tongguan City was always an insurmountable barrier for the Jin army.

It was dawn, and Yang Hu had stood on the ground for a whole day and night. At the most dangerous time, a crossbow arrow flew past his helmet. At that time, Xu Yin and others were shocked, but Yang Hu Still standing there calmly and calmly, always refusing to take half a step back.

His face was livid, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the progress of the Jin army. In this contest, the Jin army still failed to make a breakthrough, which was far from Yang Hu's expectations.

"Captain, you have been standing for a whole day, go back to the camp to rest, it seems that Tongguan can't be taken down easily, the future will be long, and the commander has to take care of his health." Xu Yin persuaded.

Yang Hu sighed helplessly, insisting on commanding on the front line all day and night, and Yang Hu's energy was almost exhausted. After all, he is also a human being, not made of iron.It seems that the strength of this Tongguan is somewhat beyond Yang Hu's expectations. If the fight continues, it will be a protracted battle, but no matter what, Yang Hu will not admit defeat easily. He will hand over the command to Xu Yin was ordered to continue to command the Jin army's strong attack and continue to create pressure on the Shu army. The Jin army had just been divided into three shifts, one for attack, one for preparation, one for rest, and three for battle in turn. Continuous attacks day and night.

Yang Hu wants to take advantage of the strength of the Jin army and use this continuous attack to break the will of the Shu army. The Shu army is at an absolute disadvantage in numbers. In order to fight, they will definitely invest most of their troops. The longer the battle goes on, the more exhausted the Shu army will be. People's energy is always limited. As long as they have a loophole, the balance of victory and defeat will tilt towards the Jin army.

The fierce battle in Tongguan is continuing. This is no longer a confrontation of strength between the two sides, but a contest of willpower between the two sides...

Leaving Yumen Pass, Liu Yin ordered the troops to march in a hurry, with a daily journey of more than a hundred miles, but even so, the journey of more than [-] miles was by no means possible in a short period of time. nowhere in sight.

What's more, such a high-intensity march can't last for a long time. People's physical strength and energy are limited after all. If you march all the way, this team will definitely be dragged down, even if you rush back to Guanzhong as fast as possible. , rushing to the front line of Tongguan, I am afraid that there is not much combat power left.

At this time, Deng Ai advised Liu Yin to separate the infantry and cavalry, and only half of the cavalry was allocated. The 3 cavalrymen who got off had no horses to ride, and marched with the synchronous soldiers. These [-] cavalrymen changed horses in turn, so as to ensure that the vanguard of the Shu army could rush to Guanzhong as quickly as possible.

Liu Yin was overjoyed, Deng Ai's idea came to the point, which solved the problem of the Shu army's quick return of aid, and immediately allocated troops to act according to the plan.
