Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 912 Chaos in Chang'an ([-])
Tongguan was originally used as a spare tire for Hangu Pass, and it was slightly repaired during the Qin Dynasty. For the imperial system of the Qin Dynasty, Hangu Pass was more important. However, during the period of Emperor Guangwu, Tongguan was used as a defense against the Western Qiang The importance of the rebellion affecting Guanzhong was gradually reflected, so it was gradually repaired.

But after all, the land of Sanfu still belongs to the territory of the Han Dynasty. This kind of pass inside the Han Empire has not received much tilt from the material, so it is not as majestic and dangerous as Tongguan in later generations.

In ancient wars, the terrain of the pass is simply a nightmare for the attacker.

Even if Tongguan does not have a complete city defense, it is like an insurmountable moat, resisting wave after wave of attacks organized by Huangfusong.

However, it was not easy for Hu Zhen to defend himself.

After all, Huangfusong was a battle-hardened general, and when he commanded the improvised army, he did not see the slightest bit of chaos or obstacles. The upward surge seemed endless and would not stop, putting great pressure on the defenders of Tongguan.

With the trained soldiers led by Huangfusong in Hedong as the backbone, and Yang Biao, the leading figure in Hongnong, agitating, the potential hidden in the depths of Hongnong will be tapped out very quickly. From Yiyang, from Luhun , From Lu County, from Xincheng, from Quanwu and other places, teams of soldiers gathered, groups of civilians were organized, and trucks were driven out, gathered here in Tongguan, and gathered in the lake. county.

Some folks are more fortunate, and they are responsible for transshipment of grain and grass. Although it is a bit harder, they are desperately transporting cattle and horses, but at least they don’t have to be conscripted like the people in Tongguan, and they stumble under the sword of the supervising team. Crying and screaming, they used soil, and even used their own lives to fill up the trench under Tongguan...

Huangfu Song commanded very calmly, and the surrounding soldiers did not have any objections.In their view, this job itself is a coolie, so what's wrong with letting these folks do it?You can't let soldiers go up to do this kind of thing, can you?Good steel should be used on the blade is the truth.

However, the Xiliang soldiers led by Hu Zhen, who was defending, could not just watch the trenches being filled up, no matter how merciful they were, otherwise they would be killing themselves. , These folks had nothing to hide, and they were wounded layer by layer one by one, fell down, died, and rolled in the trench together with the soil.

Some Min Zhuang who fell into the trench and were injured but not dead temporarily, with wounds pierced by arrows and wounds outlined by sharp antlers at the bottom of the trench, howled in pain and rolled in despair.

At both ends of the trench, both Huangfusong and Hu Zhen watched all this indifferently, without any emotional fluctuations, and the flesh and blood stained in the trench seemed to be completely non-existent.

The siege and siege of this era are all like this.

Huangfusong still had some bottom line. After the trench was filled, he waved Minzhuang back. He did not force Minzhuang to continue to use his flesh and blood to smear the city walls of Tongguan, and used Minzhuang's life to consume the defense equipment. , although this kind of thing is also the most common thing during siege in this era.

After all, this is still Hongnong, and this speed still needs to be grasped.

Behind Huangfusong, dozens of skin drums were beating earth-shatteringly. The dull drum sounds seemed to be beating one after another inside a person's body, stirring the heart and pumping blood along with the sound of the drums, making people's blood throbbing. .

This Tongguan must be captured as soon as possible!

Huangfu Song crouched on a leather mat, surrounded by soldiers guarding him, with a solemn expression, his gray beard fluttering in the wind, his eyes fixed on Tongguan, his fingers were pinching something, as if he was constantly calculating what to do Fight, how many lives must be filled in to conquer this Tongguan!

Amidst the sound of the golden drum, teams of soldiers rushed forward with equipment. In the midst of one after another order, accompanied by the frantic fighting of the two sides, with the flesh flying across the sides, with the siege equipment and the defense system of the city wall, they rushed forward. One after another was destroyed, and at this point, Tongguan was like a flesh and blood mill, and the people and soldiers involved in these misfortunes were all messed up and smeared their flesh and blood on the city and the city.

But behind Huangfusong's infantry, there was a group of Hu cavalry.

These Southern Huns who followed Huangfusong all the way from Gaonu didn't have much interest in Tongguan or anything like that, and they didn't pay much attention to how Huangfusong attacked the city, because they knew that it didn't matter to them.

For these Southern Huns, listening to Huangfusong's orders or Hongnong Yang's orders is not much different from following the orders of the Hun Zhonglang in Pingyang. The important thing is how much money they can take. How much property can be brought to the family when the loot is returned is the most crucial question.

But for Huangfusong, it is crucial to attack Xiatongguan as soon as possible.

From Hongnong to Guanzhong, one is along the Tongguan line of Dahe, and the other is to detour from Lu County, cross the mountains and take the line of Wuguan, and then break through Yaoguan and exit Lantian, and then enter Guanzhong.

The second road is not impossible, but once the army enters the mountain, the time is not calculated in days, it will take tens of days, or even several months, and it is not convenient to transfer food and grass between the mountain roads. How could Huangfusong, who is experienced in commanding troops in combat, not know the difference?
Therefore, it is better to go down Tongguan abruptly than to take the mountain road!
What's more, Tongguan is not as good as Hangu Pass. Both the city wall and the defense are more than one level worse, so although there is some loss of life, it can definitely be filled!

And we can't give Xiliang thieves a chance to breathe. Although Huangfusong's army was also formed in a hurry, it may be more flexible to operate after repairing in the queue, but the longer Huangfusong spends in Hongnong, the more it will be. Give the Xiliang soldiers more time to prepare, and for a pass like Tongguan, if the Xiliang soldiers prepare a bit more, perhaps Huangfusong and the others will have to spend ten lives to fill it...

Huangfusong looked up at the sky and said, "One more wave!"

"only!"

The messengers agreed loudly, and with the drums and flags in unison, another wave of soldiers swarmed towards Tongguan...

Then, under the frenzied resistance of the Xiliang soldiers above Tongguan, they had to retreat again.

Huangfusong finally stood up from the leather strap, and said: "...Today is like this...Ming Jin withdraws troops..."

As soon as the order to withdraw troops came out, the soldiers who were lining up couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Finally got through the day.

only……

What about tomorrow?
Or how many days can you survive?

On this point, the soldiers on both sides have no idea...
