The last three kingdoms

Chapter 953 Fierce Battle at Weize Pass

The guard of Weizeguan is Feng Chong from Yizhou. This Shu army officer who was born in the Tiger Cavalry Army can be said to be Liu Yin's direct descendant. He was just a song leader in the Tiger Riding Battalion.Later, he fought with the army, and made many military exploits, and was promoted to partial general. This time, he was appointed by Liu Yin as the guard of Weize Pass, and he was entrusted to guard the important pass connecting Shanxi and Hebei.

After Feng Chong took office, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. He was very aware of the importance of Weizeguan to the Shu army, and he naturally understood the heavy burden on his shoulders. He fulfilled his duties and deployed strict defenses. In the days like a knife, Feng Chong required the Shu army guarding the city to be in a state of first-level combat readiness, and sent multiple patrols to closely watch the situation around Weizeguan, and beware of the Jin army's sneak attack.

The terrain of Weize Pass is dangerous. If you attack it head-on, no matter how many troops the opponent has, you can only look at the pass and sigh. Because the terrain here is narrow, large troops cannot deploy at all, and there is no sharp attack on the strong pass. Weapons, it is very difficult to knock on Wei Ze to close the door.

The only worry is that the enemy will use a sneak attack to attack Weize Pass. The so-called open spear is easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to defend.

Naturally, Feng Chong would not leave such an opportunity for the Jin army. The entire Weize Pass was extremely well-prepared. It could be said that Feng Chong kept one eye open even when he was sleeping.

When the sharp whistle sounded, Feng Chong couldn't help shaking his head, but he didn't appear flustered at all. He immediately issued an order for the whole city to fight, and rushed to the top of the city in the first time.

"What's going on?" Feng Chong, dressed in military uniform, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and just stepped on the top of the wall, he said to Li Dubo who had just warned.

Li Dubo pointed to the Jin army outside the city and said: "General Qi, a large number of Jin troops have been found outside the city, trying to sneak attack Weize Pass."

Feng Chong looked down from the crenel on the top of the city, and he saw countless white figures in the snow, gathering towards Wei Zeguan. Although those figures were white, the background between the whole world was also They are white, but Feng Chong can still roughly judge the number of enemies from the moving figures - at least tens of thousands.

This was obviously a vicious battle, and Feng Chong's face became serious. Since the Jin army dared to launch a sneak attack in such a icy and snowy situation, it can be said with certainty that the comers were not good.

Feng Chong ordered all the Shu army to go into battle immediately, and according to the established defensive positions, they all took their positions and stood ready.

Qi Hong successfully arrived at the city of Weizeguan. The long journey had already exhausted the Jin army. After all, marching in the winter, the energy and physical strength put in were several times higher than usual. It stands to reason that this At that time, the Jin army urgently needed a rest to restore their physical strength and energy, and to accumulate energy for the next siege operation.

But time is running out, and the pressing situation does not allow the Jin army to have any rest time. Originally, Qi Hong tried to think of a sneak attack to take Weize Pass, but it was only after Weize Pass that he realized that the defense of the Shu army was very important. It is more rigorous than imagined, and the sneak attack is obviously untenable.

However, Qi Hong did not expect to take Weize Pass easily, otherwise he would not need to bring [-] troops to attack. The only favorable condition is that Weize Pass has only [-] defenders, and now the Jin army is ten times larger than the enemy. , Even if it is a strong attack, it still has a clear advantage, but it must be done quickly, otherwise it will only take two days to deliver the news from Weizeguan to Jizhou. Once the Shu army in Jizhou knows that the Jin army attacked Wei Zeguan will definitely send reinforcements, and it will not be easy to take Weizeguan by then.

Qi Hong ordered the Jin army to attack immediately.This time, the Jin army took a small path and the flags were silent, so they did not bring large-scale siege equipment at all. The only siege equipment they have now is a relatively simple ladder.

After the order to attack was issued, the Jin army swarmed up and rushed towards the city wall of Weize Pass.

The snow on the ground is very thick, and it is very slippery to step on. Many Jin soldiers fell on their backs just after taking a few steps. Moreover, the mountain road available for attack is extremely narrow, and at best, it can only accommodate three or four ladders. Walking side by side, this obviously seriously delayed the attack of the Jin army, and a large number of troops could not be deployed at all, but could only be densely packed together.

Feng Chong stood on the top of the city very calmly. He did not rush to conduct defensive operations. Instead, he waited for the Jin army to slowly approach and approached within the range of an arrow. order to attack.

The arrows flew towards the Jin army lineup like migratory locusts. Due to the narrow terrain, there were countless arrows shot by the Jin army. The white snow surface was immediately dyed red, as if blooming in the snow. Blossoming delicate red flowers.

Death will not make these Jin soldiers fearful. The more life and death on the battlefield are seen, the easier it is to make people numb. The death rate of the soldiers who rush to the front is the highest, but it does not mean that there is no chance of survival. Forward or backward, the probability of survival is equal. The arrows shot will not have eyes. If you are lucky, you can fly past them. If you are unlucky, you can only die under the arrows.

Under such circumstances, it has almost become the expectation of every Jin soldier to go forward desperately and rush a bloody road. To retreat is to fear the enemy in front of the battle and will be punished by military law. Comparing the two, the rewards are more rewarding for the attack, so no matter how many robes fell to the ground, the Jin army's offensive did not slow down, but it aroused the fighting spirit and blood even more, and they rushed towards Weize Pass as if desperately. rush away.

The crossbowmen of the Shu army became the busiest people at this moment. They kept changing their arrows and shooting. There was no need for them to aim at the vast expanse of whiteness below the city. However, the speed of archery that does not require precision is extremely fast, and it only takes a few breaths to shoot the bow and nock the arrow.

The crossbowmen frequently changed their arrows and fired, but they still couldn't stop the Jin army's offensive frenzy. They finally rushed to the foot of Weize Pass, began to erect ladders, and climbed towards the wall of the pass.

The battle between the two sides has now reached a fever pitch. The entire Weizeguan city, above and below the city, is deafeningly shouted and killed, and the two sides are fighting to the death.
