Chapter 665 Attack on Yizhou

"It's really unpreventable." Zhuge Liang sighed that when you really have to face the Xiliang army, you will know how horrible they are. Just being able to open the gate makes people feel that there is no place to start. On the battlefield, you can't be prepared for the enemy to rush out of the gate at any time, and it is impossible to completely block the gate and cut off the way out. As long as the city gate is sealed, it is very likely to cause a mutiny in the field. Not every team can die.

Guo Yan has 50,000 horses in his hand. After dealing with the affairs of Hanzhong in an orderly manner, he began to move towards Baishui Pass. In the land of Yizhou, there are many strong gates, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is really the place of Wang Tu's achievements. Once occupied, he can easily block the enemy from the periphery and capture Hanzhong. What the Xiliang army has to face. There are Baishui Pass, Zitong, Mianzhu and other checkpoints, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Jia Rong met Zhang Lu in the palace, the leader of the Wudou Rice Religion, and the Hanzhong Taishou with hundreds of thousands of believers. After a long discussion between the two, Zhang Lu left the palace with a heavy face.

Jia Rong's treatment to Zhang Lu is not low. The official position is many times stronger than the previous Hanzhong Taishou, but some of the conditions given by Jia Rong are inconsistent with the teachings of the Wudou Rice Religion. For example, when Jia Rong said about the war, the people should rise up, help the army defend the city, and voluntarily join the army to resist the enemy. Those who offend my cool country will be killed even if they are far away.

Zhang Lu thought about it for three days before giving Jia Rong a reply and agreed to Jia Rong's modification. At the same time, he changed the name of Wudou rice religion to Taoism, allowing Zhang Lu to develop believers among the people. If he could succeed, Jia Rong revealed that he would make Wudou rice religion become the state religion, which further aroused Zhang Lu's fighting spirit.

Xiliang's military rule is vast, and there are millions of people, which is very attractive to Zhang Lu.

After Cao Cao went through the battle of the Xiliang army to occupy Yuzhou and attack Hanoi County, he seemed to be a little depressed. How powerful and domineering the Cao army was in the Central Plains. How many princes have been conquered in a row. Cao's generals and soldiers had an unprecedented momentum. In the battle, he was not afraid of life and death and moved forward bravely. Since he met the Xiliang Army. Cao's army rarely won, and repeatedly lost Luyang Hanoi and Yuzhou. Even in Dongjun, it was defeated by the Xiliang Army with 30,000 soldiers and horses, killing corpses all over the field.

Not only that, the people's livelihood under Cao Cao's rule is not very good, mainly because the economic suppression of the merchants of the Liang Kingdom. Because the Liang Kingdom attaches great importance to merchants, about 60% of the merchants in the world gather under the rule of the Xiliang Army. They are eager to join the Chamber of Commerce and become the eagle dog of the Xiliang Army, which makes Cao Cao very puzzled.

In the economic downturn, the price of rice and grain fluctuated too much. Under Cao Jun, the people began to rebel. Forced by life, the grass fell into the bandits, and the situation in various states and counties was not optimistic.

Cao Cao is not a future traveler. Jia Rong's financial trick can make them busy.

After selling a lot of resources, Cao Cao Cao felt more at ease. With money and food in his hand, he did not have to be afraid that the Xiliang Army would come. However, after this resource came to Jia Rong's hands, it would become rolling money, and he would make the money in Cao Cao's hands again.

Sometimes, Cao Cao has a faint feeling that the Liang Congress unified the world. When this idea appeared, Cao Cao was extremely shocked. He was about to suppress it in his heart, and the two armies fought against each other. If the superiors did not have confidence, he still want to win the battle. He wanted to rise up in those years. At that time, there were only thousands of people, and there were only a few generals. It was not the current situation. Compared with Jia Rong, he was not weak at all, and the gains and losses of a war could not represent anything.

"The Xiliang Army is not afraid." Cao Cao clenched his fists and said word by word.

"Ging down, let the families and businessmen in the city go to the mansion for a banquet tonight." Cao Cao gave the order.

Wu Ban, the general of Baishui Pass, is still very famous among the generals of Yizhou. He is well-behaved in the war. Over the years, he has not won many battles or lost. When Pang Yi attacked Hanzhong, he established a meritorious service.

There are 2,000 garrison in the Baishui Pass. Wu Ban is confident that it will be blocked by the Xiliang Army, which will be invaded by 2,000 people in the future. The failure of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong made Wu Ban a little disapproval. At best, it can only show that Zhang Lu is too cowardly. The generals of Yizhou look down on Zhang Lu, a traitor.

The terrain of Baishui Pass can also be called dangerous in Yizhou. Not to mention the customs, even if there are 100,000 people, there is no way to take advantage of it. The geographical situation of Yizhou is not comparable to the Central Plains, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and the advantage of the Xiliang Army lies in the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry. Once there is such a checkpoint in front of it, Even if the Xiliang army has any means, it will face a bitter battle.

Wu Ban constantly strengthened the city defense, and the strength of soldiers' patrol increased. There were no people living in Baishui Pass. There were only about 500 soldiers stationed here all year round. When the Xiliang Army attacked Hanzhong, Liu Zhang was shocked and strengthened the garrison of Baishui Pass.

"General, it is said that there are 50,000 people in the Xiliang army, but we only have 2,000 people. I'm afraid it's difficult to keep it." The deputy general said in a worried voice.

"Well, if you let me hear such words again, I will immediately behead and show it to the public. In the face of the enemy, as the deputy general of me, you should strengthen the city, instead of saying that you have been defeated. Even if there are 100,000 people in the Xiliang Army, you should be tenaciously guarding the city. Even if there is only one soldier in the city, you should work hard to persist."

"No." The vice general held the boxing. From Wu Ban, he felt a strong sense of war, and his heart was much more stable. Baishui Pass is an important level. There is no need to worry about the problem of grain and fodder. Soldier's arrows and other consumables can also be quickly replenished.

"At the beginning of the war, it is a great opportunity for the generals and soldiers in the army to make contributions. The most powerful of the Xiliang Army is the cavalry. They can't exert their combat effectiveness outside the White Water Pass. How to attack the city." Wu Ban's tone slowed down and explained.

When Hua Xiong led the vanguard army to the Baishui Pass, he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air. He also understood why Guo Yan only let him lead a hundred cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry stayed in Hanzhong. In the face of such a level, the cavalry wanted to attack the city, but the chance of success was very small, completely exposed to the enemy's offensive. Down.

Even if there is a sharp weapon such as a Thunderbolt car in the Xiliang Army to attack the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack the soldiers on the level, and the Baishui Pass is the first line of defense to attack Yizhou and has to face it.

"General, this?" Li Mengdao.

"What's this and that? It's stationed outside the city, waiting for General Guo's army. How can Xiaobai Shuiguan stop the pace of our army?" Although Hua Xiong was a little scared, he couldn't let go of such an opportunity.

Looking at the one hundred pioneers of the Xiliang Army stationed outside the city, Wu Ban smiled proudly at the corners of his mouth. He heard that the Xiliang Army's combat effectiveness was unparalleled in the world, and he stopped in front of the Baishui Pass he guarded.

After the army came to Baishui Pass, it only took a day's rest and began the siege battle. The densely ants-like soldiers went to the checkpoint. Even if he had enough confidence, Wu Ban was also a little numb when he saw such a scene.

The terrain outside the Baishui Pass determines that the Xiliang army can only use simple siege equipment such as punching cars and ladders. As for the well, don't think about it. Unless Guo Wei is willing to stop the attack and gradually repair and level the terrain outside the checkpoint, the well is difficult to access, and the terrain outside the Baishui Pass is not so easy to rest, only There was a strong attack.

The white water pass was broken. In Wu Ban's surprised eyes, the heavy gate flew to the sky. When it was closed, he felt that the wall under his feet was constantly trembling, and many soldiers were crooked and difficult to stand.

The swarming Xiliang army rushed into the customs and ended the battle, and Wu Ban was also killed by hundreds of soldiers led by the deputy general.

Hua Xiong laughed and said, "I just said that Baishuiguan is nothing, how about it?"

Li Mengnene said that the Xiliang Army with this kind of weapon was extremely horrible.

From the Xiliang army attacking the Baishui Pass to breaking the pass, it took only half a day. No matter how capable Wu Ban is, he can't imagine the reason. The battle of siege has been a heavy loss by the attacking party since ancient times before a level can be broken, and the Baishui Pass is an important checkpoint in Yizhou. After it is broken, Xi Liang Jun could take the opportunity to attack the Yameng Pass, and after the Yameng Pass, Yizhou was in danger. Although the Yameng Pass was more dangerous than the Baishui Pass, Wu Ban did not have enough confidence.

"General, we'd better rush to the Yameng Pass as soon as possible, and there will be the pursuers of the Xiliang Army behind." The deputy general reminded that his face was also inevitably in a hurry. There were 2,000 defenders, and after the First World War I, only more than 300 people escaped. The fate of the remaining people can be imagined.

"Well, rush to Jiamengguan as soon as possible and send a fast horse to tell General Yang of Jiamengguan what happened here." Wu Ban cleared his mind and said hurriedly.

The gains and losses of one city and one pool are not enough to worry about, but if the Xiliang Army relies on this weapon to attack the city of Yizhou one after another, it will be a huge loss for Yizhou, and his Wu Ban will also be more implicated because he does not report it in time.

"Wu Ban, where are you going to escape?" There was a loud shout behind him. It turned out that Hua Xiong led a hundred cavalry to chase him.

"Leave a hundred people to resist the Xiliang cavalry, and the rest retreat at speed and rush to the Aimeng Pass as soon as possible." After Wu Ban ordered, he left the deputy general in place, and then led the army to flee in a hurry.

The deputy general's face turned pale. Wu Ban was the main general. He did not dare to disobey at all. He could only lead a hundred soldiers down. Naturally, he was a little upset with Wu Ban in his heart. Under the charge of the cavalry, how could the infantry be lucky? One hundred people were sent to death. In the face of life and death, he was ruthlessly abandoned. .

Just as he didn't see Wu Ban, the deputy general immediately led the soldiers to surrender.
