Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 The Battle of Jiameng Pass (2)

After countless "cannonballs" drew an arc in the air, they slammed towards Jiameng Pass fiercely. Cao Jun soldiers who closed Jiameng Pass immediately looked for cover and hid in the bunker before these "cannonballs" fell down.

The roaring stones smashed hard on the wall of Jiameng Pass, and hit the pass and other places that could be hit. Jiameng Pass was full of dust and sawdust flying, and the unlucky Cao Jun soldiers were directly crushed to death.

After the indiscriminate bombardment, the trebuchets in front of the enemy army outside the pass stopped projecting. When Cao Jun saw that the enemy stopped and continued to project, he came out of the bunker and returned to his post.

Some logistics soldiers bent down and moved the closed corpses down, and the closed soldiers erected a shield wall made of shields in front of them.

Because, according to my experience, after the enemy's trebuchets projected stone bombs, it was the enemy's crossbow camp, which covered the defenders with a rain of arrows, and finally the infantry launched the siege.

After dealing with them for so long, I naturally know their tricks clearly!If the enemy's trebuchets and crossbows were not within their effective range, their archers would have already greeted them, so why should they be so aggrieved and hide behind their shields now.

"Mingjin retreat!" Li Song looked at the shield wall erected by Jiameng in front of him, and knew that the enemy had figured out his own attack method and had made effective preparations for this method.

Even if the crossbow phalanx is fired at Jiamengguan, the effect will be minimal!In this case, why waste arrows.

"Dang! Dang!" Jin Ming sounded, and after the trebuchets in front of the army were disassembled and packed, the army slowly retreated backwards.

The defenders at Jiameng's gate were stunned for a moment, and when their own side was ready for a tough fight, the enemy actually retreated. It's easy to hold back internal injuries, okay?
The generals of Cao Jun want to cry but have no tears!Cao Ang looked at the retreating enemy army, and he didn't feel any joy in his heart!Although the enemy army has retreated, they may launch an attack on Jiameng Pass again.

After Fucheng closed, Cao Pi was wearing armor, holding a sword hilt, and the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind!Looking into the distance.

"How far is the enemy army from here?" Cao Pi said to the spy who was kneeling on one knee without thinking.

"General! Zhang Xiu's forward, Wei Yan, set up camp fifty miles away from our army! The enemy's central army and rear are both two hundred miles away from here." The spies reported the news they had inquired to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi waved his hand without saying anything, and the spies saluted with fists, stood up and retreated!
Cao Pi knew that there would be a fierce battle in Fuguan next!Whether or not Fuguan can be held is related to the final success or failure!

It is related to the future of the Cao family. If one of Fuguan and Jiamengguan is breached, Yizhou will change hands again. At that time, I am afraid that I and others will have no other way out.

To be honest, Cao Pi didn't know whether he could hold Fu Pass. The total strength of the defenders at Fu Pass was less than [-], so how could he fight against the enemy's [-] troops.

Cao Pi couldn't help sighing, although the hope is slim!Cao Pi had to carry it to the end, because he had no way out.

The next day, Zhang Xiu's army joined the forward Wei Yan's department, and marched mightily to the Fu Pass. The army lined up and stood ready!
One of Zhang Xiujun's cavalry galloped out, pointed at Cao Ang and the others who had closed the gate, and said, "I am Xuan Weihou, general Hu Che'er, who is under the Zhang Xiu tent of Po Qiang General! Rebel, how dare you come out and fight me .”

Cao Pi was furious when he saw Hu Che'er who was shouting at Guanxia, ​​he knew he couldn't give up now!Someone must go to fight, otherwise it will affect the morale of the defenders.

"Xiahouba! This thief is so rude! Do you dare to go out and fight?" Cao Pi said aggressively to Xiahou beside him.

Xia Houba, who had long been displeased with Hu Che'er, heard Cao Pi's question, laughed and said, "What's so difficult about it, let's see how I can handle it!"

After finishing speaking, he went down Fu Pass with his gun, got on his horse, and rode his horse out of Fu Pass. When Xia Houba passed Fu Pass, the guards immediately closed the gate.

Xia Houba galloped over, stopped not far from Hu Che'er, pointed at Hu Che'er and said, "You are the confidant of Zhang Xiu's subordinate——Hu Che'er."

Hu Che'er is Zhang Xiu's confidant and fierce general. He can carry five hundred catties and travel seven hundred miles a day. He is a rare strong general.

In Xia Houba's view, Hu Che'er should be a muscular man with big arms and a round face, he never thinks about the person in front of him, but he is slightly taller than ordinary people, not much stronger than others, and more importantly, this guy is still pretty. boy face.

"That's right! I'm Hu Che'er, the general under Xuanweihou's account! Come and report your name, and I won't kill the unknown!" Hu Che'er nodded.

"I'm Xiahouba, the mighty general under Yizhou's pastoral tent! I'm here to take your head! Let me shoot you!" After Xiahouba said, he gathered his horses and charged at Hu Che'er.

When Hu Che'er saw this, he was not surprised but happy!Well done!Immediately, they gathered horses to meet them, and the two of them fought for more than 200 rounds, and the two were evenly divided.

Cao Pi saw that the two had been fighting for a long time, and they were still tied, so he said to the general behind him: "I don't know who is willing to go and help Xia Houba!"

"The humble official is willing to go!" Cao Pi just finished speaking, and a school lieutenant came out, clasped his fists and saluted, begging for his life.

"Okay! Hurry up and help Xia Houba! If you come back victorious, I will appoint you as a side general." Cao Pi said happily. He didn't know who the person in front of him was from the beginning to the end, and Cao Pi didn't ask.

If the captain can come back, it's not too late to ask, if not, it doesn't matter whether he asks or not, the left and right are just passers-by.

"No!" The captain was overjoyed!He took the order, went down to Fu Pass, and rode his horse to kill outside the pass.

Zhang Xiujun saw that the gate of Fuguan was wide open, and a general of the enemy army galloped out to kill Hu Che'er. Zhang Xiujun's forward general Wei Yan immediately rode his horse to meet him.

When the two met, the school lieutenant couldn't do two moves in Wei Yan's hands, so he was cut off by Wei Yan's horse. Wei Yan immediately turned his horse's head and killed Xia Houba.

Hu Che'er attacked Xia Houba from both sides, Xia Houba was scared to death, and Hu Che'er made him flustered, and it was difficult to parry. Now Wei Yan is coming again, isn't it here to explain.

Xia Houba shot a feint in his hand, and after deceiving Hu Che'er, he immediately galloped back to Fuguan. How could Wei Yan and Hu Che'er watch Xiahouba escape and immediately chase after him.

Seeing this, Cao Pi immediately ordered the archers on the pass to shoot at Wei Yan and Hu Che'er to stop them. Wei Yan and Hu Che'er waved their weapons to block the incoming arrows. It was closed immediately, and Wei Yan and the two saw that Xia Houba had escaped, so they had no choice but to retreat.
